Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fabric cleaning machines, specifically to fabric cleaning machines. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric cleaning machines, specifically designed for deep cleaning and care of fabric products such as sofas, curtains, and carpets, have seen widespread application in both household and commercial settings in recent years. Existing fabric cleaning machines generally consist of a clean water tank, a wastewater tank, cleaning nozzles, a suction device, and corresponding electrical and water systems. They achieve stain removal and care of the fabric surface by spraying clean water or cleaning solution onto the fabric surface and simultaneously suctioning out the wastewater.

[0003] However, existing fabric cleaning machines still face several pressing technical challenges in practical applications: First, most machines have small clean water and wastewater tanks, requiring frequent water additions and wastewater emptying when cleaning large areas of fabric. This not only increases operational complexity but also significantly reduces cleaning efficiency. Second, the electrical components, water lines, and pipes in existing cleaning machines are generally distributed, resulting in a loose overall structure. On one hand, this structure makes pipes prone to bending, loosening, and even leakage, affecting cleaning effectiveness and equipment lifespan. On the other hand, the overly dispersed electrical and water line layout also increases the complexity of assembly, repair, and maintenance, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern fabric cleaning machines for compact design and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a fabric cleaning machine is proposed. This machine features a large-capacity clean water tank and a wastewater tank, along with an integrated and compact layout of the electrical components and water pipes. This solves the technical problems of existing cleaning machines, such as the small capacity of the clean water and wastewater tanks, which necessitates frequent water additions and wastewater emptying when cleaning large areas of fabric, and the generally decentralized layout of the electrical components, water pipes, and wiring in existing cleaning machines, resulting in a loose overall structure.

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fabric cleaning machine, comprising: a base; a drive module, vertically and centrally fixed on the base, the drive module having a parallel-arranged water outlet pipe and a water suction pipe for respectively exporting clean water and sucking up wastewater; a control module, located on top of the drive module; a clean water storage module, detachably installed on the base and located to the left of the drive module, the clean water storage module having a large-capacity clean water tank for storing and stably supplying clean water; a wastewater storage module, detachably installed on the base and located to the right of the drive module, the wastewater storage module having a large-capacity wastewater tank for centrally storing wastewater generated during the cleaning process; and a suction module, detachably installed on one side of the drive module, the suction module having a brush head and a transmission pipe, the input end of the transmission pipe being connected to the water outlet pipe and the water suction pipe respectively, for simultaneously completing clean water spraying and wastewater recovery during the cleaning process.

[0006] Preferably, the drive module includes a housing and a first suction unit and a second suction unit capable of draining clean water and sucking in wastewater, respectively; the first suction unit and the second suction unit are vertically mounted on the base relative to each other through the housing; the inlets of the first suction unit and the second suction unit are respectively connected to the clean water storage module and the wastewater storage module through two first liquid guide pipes; the outlet pipe and the suction pipe are arranged side by side on one side of the housing and are respectively connected to the first suction unit and the second suction unit through two second liquid guide pipes.

[0007] Preferably, the control module consists of a mounting base, a control panel disposed within the mounting base, and control buttons disposed on the mounting base and connected to the control panel.

[0008] Preferably, the wastewater storage module further includes an overflow prevention unit that is detachably installed inside the wastewater tank and located at the inlet of the wastewater tank.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-overflow unit includes a guide shell, a floating component slidably disposed on one side of the guide shell, and a plug fixedly disposed on the top of the floating component.

[0010] Preferably, the base may also be detachably provided with a first bracket and a second bracket for the tube to be wrapped around and stored; the first bracket and the second bracket are detachably disposed at opposite ends of the base.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are: 1. This utility model significantly improves the endurance of the cleaning process and reduces the burden of frequent water addition and removal by setting large-capacity clean water storage modules and wastewater storage modules on the left and right sides of the base, respectively. By integrating the drive module, the first suction unit, and the second suction unit inside the housing, it not only reduces the installation space for circuits, water circuits, and pipes but also effectively improves the overall stability and safety. The control module adopts an integrated design of mounting base, control panel, and external control buttons, making operation simple. Users only need to press a button to start and stop the drive module and switch cleaning modes, improving the human-machine interaction experience.

[0012] 2. The anti-overflow unit of this utility model, through the cooperation of a floating component and a plug, can automatically close the inlet when the water level in the sewage tank exceeds a preset height, preventing sewage overflow and secondary pollution. The detachable brackets added to both ends of the base allow for the coiling and storage of the transmission pipe when not in operation, reducing storage space and preventing pipe damage due to excessive bending. The overall design not only ensures efficient cleaning and reliable sewage recovery during operation, but also improves the equipment's durability, convenience, and user comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 10 The fabric cleaning machine includes: a base 1; a drive module 2, vertically and centrally fixed on the base 1, the drive module 2 having a parallel water outlet pipe 21 and a water suction pipe 22 for respectively exporting clean water and sucking up wastewater; a control module 3, located on top of the drive module 2; a clean water storage module 4, detachably installed on the base 1 and located to the left of the drive module 2, the clean water storage module 4 having a large-capacity clean water tank 41 for storing and stably supplying clean water; a wastewater storage module 5, detachably installed on the base 1 and located to the right of the drive module 2, the wastewater storage module 5 having a large-capacity wastewater tank 51 for centrally storing wastewater generated during the cleaning process; and a suction module 6, detachably installed on one side of the drive module 2, the suction module 6 having a brush head 61 and a transmission pipe 62, the input end of the transmission pipe 62 being connected to the water outlet pipe 21 and the water suction pipe 22 respectively, for simultaneously completing clean water spraying and wastewater recovery during the cleaning process.

[0026] When the brush head 61 is needed to clean the fabric, first connect the external power supply and start the control module 3. As a centralized electronic control core, the control module 3 can manage the operating status of the drive unit, water circuit unit, and water suction unit in an integrated manner. Under the command of the control module 3, the drive module 2 starts working and simultaneously outputs cleaning power and suction force.

[0027] Under the action of the cleaning power, clean water in the clean water storage module 4 is stably discharged through the water outlet pipe 21 and directly delivered to the brush head 61 via the integrated transmission pipeline. The brush head 61 applies clean water evenly to the fabric surface to achieve the cleaning function. At the same time, the suction force generated by the drive module 2 is transmitted through the suction pipe 22, causing the brush head 61 to generate negative pressure suction, thereby simultaneously sucking up residual water stains and dirt on the fabric surface during the cleaning process. Wastewater, after being introduced into the suction pipe through the transmission pipe 62, finally enters the large-capacity wastewater storage module 5 for centralized collection.

[0028] This structural design separates clean water and wastewater storage into large-capacity tanks, significantly reducing the need for frequent water filling and emptying operations caused by small tanks, thus ensuring the ability to continuously clean large areas of fabric. Simultaneously, the highly integrated circuit control system allows the control module 3, power module, and sensing components to work in an orderly and coordinated manner within a compact space. This not only reduces safety hazards caused by the cross-layout of electrical and water circuits but also improves the overall reliability and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0029] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown: The drive module 2 is provided with a housing 23 and a first suction unit 24 and a second suction unit 25, which are respectively capable of exporting clean water and sucking in sewage; the first suction unit 24 and the second suction unit 25 are vertically arranged on the base 1 relative to each other through the housing 23; the liquid inlets of the first suction unit 24 and the second suction unit 25 are respectively connected to the clean water storage module 4 and the sewage storage module 5 through two first liquid guide pipes; the water outlet pipe 21 and the water suction pipe 22 are arranged side by side on one side of the housing 23 and are respectively connected to the first suction unit 24 and the second suction unit 25 through two second liquid guide pipes.

[0030] The first suction unit 24 is specifically a suction pump, which is used to generate a stable negative pressure during the cleaning process, thereby achieving efficient back suction of sewage; the second suction unit 25 is specifically a clean water pump, which is used to extract clean water from the clean water storage module 4 and output it stably to the brush head 61 for spray cleaning.

[0031] Both the first suction unit 24 and the second suction unit 25 are arranged inside the housing 23 in a highly integrated manner. Through a reasonable structural layout, the installation space of the suction pump and the clean water pump is significantly reduced, and sufficient installation space is left for the clean water tank 41 and the sewage tank 51. This avoids the problems of large space occupation, redundant pipelines and loose structure caused by the dispersed arrangement of pumps in traditional fabric cleaning machines, thereby improving the compactness of the overall assembly and the stability of the system.

[0032] In practical use: When it is necessary to drain clean water, first connect an external power source and drive the second suction unit 25 to operate. The pressure generated by the unit can quickly extract the clean water from the clean water storage module 4, which is then transmitted to the water outlet pipe 21 via the second liquid guide pipe, and then evenly sprayed onto the fabric surface by the brush head 61 for cleaning. When it is necessary to re-suction the wastewater after cleaning, drive the first suction unit 24 to operate. The negative pressure generated by the unit can make the brush head 61 form a strong suction force, quickly sucking in the water stains and dirt remaining on the fabric surface, which are then introduced into the wastewater storage module 5 for centralized storage via the first liquid guide pipe.

[0033] By integrating a clean water pump and a suction pump within the housing 23, the division of labor between clean water output and sewage back suction is achieved. This not only effectively reduces the installation space of the pump body, improves the assembly compactness and overall stability, but also ensures the fluid dynamic efficiency of the cleaning and back suction process.

[0034] The large-capacity clean water tank 41 and wastewater tank 51 are located on the side closest to the shell, and their outlines are designed to strictly conform to the curvature and structural features of the outer wall of the shell 23. By eliminating ineffective gaps, a tight fit and efficient nesting with the shell 23 are achieved, thereby significantly increasing the effective volume of the clean water and wastewater storage chambers within the constraints of the limited overall size of the machine, and optimizing space utilization.

[0035] See Figures 6 to 8 As shown: The control module 3 consists of a mounting base 31, a control panel 32 disposed within the mounting base 31, and control buttons 33 disposed on the mounting base 31 and connected to the control panel 32.

[0036] When fabric cleaning is required, the operator simply activates the control button 33 located on the outer surface of the mounting base 31 to trigger the preset control program within the control panel 32. Upon receiving the instruction, the control panel 32 sends an electrical signal to the drive module 2 to start the operation, thus driving the drive module 2 into working mode. During operation, the drive module 2 simultaneously provides power to both the clean water pump and the suction pump, allowing the clean water in the clean water storage module 4 to be smoothly discharged and applied to the fabric through the brush head 61, while simultaneously creating a negative pressure backflow path to collect wastewater generated during the cleaning process. The entire start-up and shutdown process is centrally managed by the control module 3, making operation simple and responsive, avoiding the cumbersome steps of manually operating multiple components.

[0037] See Figure 9 As shown: The sewage storage module 5 also includes an anti-overflow unit 52 that is detachably installed inside the sewage tank 51 and located at the inlet of the sewage tank 51.

[0038] The overflow prevention unit 52 is used to monitor the liquid level in the sewage tank 51 in real time, so as to accurately identify changes in the sewage height in the sewage tank 51. When the sewage level gradually rises and exceeds the preset safe water storage height, the overflow prevention unit 52 will activate immediately, driving the sealing mechanism to close the inlet of the sewage tank 51, thereby effectively preventing external sewage from continuing to flow into the sewage tank 51. This design can not only respond in time when the liquid level reaches the limit height to avoid the sewage tank 51 overflowing, but also keep the inlet unobstructed under normal working conditions, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the sewage recycling process.

[0039] See Figure 7 As shown: The anti-overflow unit 52 is provided with a guide shell 521, a floating member 522 slidably disposed on one side of the guide shell 521, and a plug 523 fixedly disposed on the top of the floating member 522.

[0040] In the non-operating state, the guide shell 521 is detachably installed at the inlet of the sewage tank 51 for easy disassembly and replacement during equipment maintenance or cleaning. The floating member 522 is slidably disposed on the inner side of the guide shell 521 in a vertical direction. Initially, it hangs naturally under gravity and is close to the bottom of the sewage tank 51. When in the operating state, sewage continuously enters the sewage tank 51 through the inlet and gradually accumulates. As the water level rises, the floating member 522 gradually rises under the action of buoyancy. Until the plug 523 fixedly installed at the upper end of the floating member 522 moves up to the preset height with the floating member 522, the plug 523 matches the opening position of the inlet and forms a tight seal, thereby effectively preventing additional sewage from continuing to enter the sewage tank 51. This structure realizes the sewage level follow-up control. When the liquid level reaches a safe height, the sealing process is automatically triggered to avoid the risk of overflow.

[0041] By incorporating a removable guide shell 521 and a floating component 522 at the inlet of the wastewater tank 51, an automatic sealing function driven by the liquid level is achieved. This mechanism automatically seals the inlet when the liquid level in the wastewater tank 51 reaches a set threshold, preventing the tank from overflowing. Compared to traditional methods relying on manual monitoring and discharge, this design not only simplifies maintenance but also effectively improves the automation and reliability of wastewater management.

[0042] See Figure 3 As shown: The base 1 may also be detachably provided with a first bracket 63 and a second bracket 64 for the tube to be wrapped around and stored; the first bracket 63 and the second bracket 64 are detachably disposed at opposite ends of the base 1.

[0043] By detachably installing a first bracket 63 and a second bracket 64 at both ends of the base 1, the transmission pipe 62 can be coiled sequentially between the brackets when the equipment is not in operation, and supported and positioned by the brackets. This structure ensures that the transmission pipe 62 maintains a reasonable bending radius during storage, preventing pipe wall cracking, deformation, or shortened lifespan due to excessive bending or concentrated stress. Simultaneously, the detachable brackets facilitate quick installation, removal, and replacement as needed in various usage scenarios, further improving the equipment's maintenance convenience and structural flexibility.

[0044] The removable brackets at both ends of the base 1 allow for the orderly storage of the transmission tube 62, significantly reducing the space occupied by the transmission tube 62 when the equipment is stationary and effectively preventing damage caused by random stacking or excessive bending. Compared with traditional cleaning machines without a fixed storage structure, this design greatly improves the durability and service life of the transmission tube 62. This invention not only features a large-capacity clean water tank and a wastewater tank, but also integrates circuit components and water pipes, resulting in a compact structure and high space utilization.

[0045] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
