The arrangement of the overflow port is beneficial to prevent the water level in the water box assembly 1 from being too high and overflowing and wasting. The water flowing out through the overflow port can be collected and reused.

[0046] Alternatively, the water outlet of the water storage box 11 can be communicated with the water inlet of the water quality processor 3. In this way, the collected water can be purified and filtered by the water quality processor 3 before being retransported to the water receiving box, thereby ensuring that the water quality meets certain water quality standards before being transported to the water receiving box for use.

[0047] On the basis of the above scheme, the clothes care machine further comprises a clothes swinging mechanism arranged in the cabinet and a driving mechanism for driving the clothes swinging mechanism to swing back and forth, the clothes swinging mechanism comprises a clothes hanger fixing frame, and clothes to be cared can be hung on the clothes hanger and fixed on the clothes swinging mechanism through the clothes hanger fixing frame.
