[0049] As mentioned above, the pressure cleaning machine has been widely used in people's daily lives. Currently, when using the pressure cleaning machine, an external water source is usually required to connect tap water and the pressure cleaning machine through a water pipe for normal operation. However, if there is no direct water source such as tap water in a cleaning area, due to a length of the water pipe, the pressure cleaning machine may not be able to work due to a lack of water. If a water bucket or other tools are used to supply water, there will be daily storage problems for the water bucket and the pressure cleaning machine after cleaning work is completed, which will occupy a large amount of space.

[0050] In order to solve above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pressure cleaning machine. The pressure cleaning machine includes a cleaning machine body, a water tank and a cover. The cleaning machine body and the water tank are detachably connected, and the water tank and the cover are detachably connected. When the cleaning machine body is connected with the water tank, the water tank can supply water to the cleaning machine body. In an environment of no direct water source, the cleaning machine body can still perform cleaning work using the water in the water tank. In the presence of water source such as tap water, the cleaning machine body can also work independently, which can improve an adaptability of the pressure cleaning machine in different workingenvironments. After the pressure cleaning machine completes cleaning work, the cleaning machine body and the water tank of the pressure cleaning machine can be disassembled, and the cleaning machine body can be stored in the receiving chamber, and then the cover covers the receiving chamber for easy storage of the pressure cleaning machine.

[0051] In order to make above objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0052] FIG. 1 is an assembled state view of a pressure cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

When the water tank 20 is connected with the cleaning machine body 10, the water tank 20 is configured to supply water to the cleaning machine body 10. The cover 30 is detachably connected with the receiving chamber 21.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cleaning machine body 10 can be used independently or connected with the water tank 20 for use. After use, the cleaning machine body 10 can be placed in the receiving chamber 21 for storage.

[0055] Specifically, when a water source is connected, the cleaning machine body10 can be connected with the water source such as tap water through an external water pipe, and the cleaning machine body 10 can perform cleaning work independently. When there is no direct water source in the cleaning area, the water tank 20 can be connected with the cleaning machine body 10. The water tank 20 supplies water to the cleaning machine body 10 and the water in the water tank 20 is used for cleaning work. The water tank 20 can also be used as a tool for transporting water. When transporting water, the cover 30 can be connected with the water tank 20, and an opening end of the receiving chamber 21 can be sealed to facilitate the transportation of water. After the cleaning work is completed, the water tank 20 and the cover 30 are disassembled, and the receiving chamber 21 is opened. The receiving chamber 21 is configured to accommodate the cleaning machine body 10. A size of the opening end of the receiving chamber 21 is configured to accommodate the cleaning machine body 10.
