Abstract

A hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine includes: a housing, having a handle for grasping; functional components, including a motor and a pump driven by the motor; and a liquid inlet, disposed on the housing and capable of being connected to an external water source by a water pipe. The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine further includes an adapter suitable to be connected between the liquid inlet and a portable container, and is connected to the external water source by the water pipe or connected to the portable container by the adapter. In the present invention, the portable container configured to hold liquid is mounted to the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine by using the adapter, so that it can be flexibly moved together with the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine. The present invention further provides an adapter suitable to be connected between a portable container and a hand-held spraying device.

First claim

1 . A hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine, comprising:
a housing, having a handle for grasping; functional components, comprising a motor and a pump driven by the motor which are disposed in the housing; and a liquid inlet, disposed on the housing and capable of being connected to an external water source by using a water pipe, wherein the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine further comprises an adapter suitable to be connected between the liquid inlet and a portable container, and the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine is optionally connected to the external water source by using the water pipe or connected to the portable container by using the adapter.

2 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter comprises an adapter body and a liquid conveying tube, the adapter body comprises a first connection portion, the first connection portion comprises a first connection end and a second connection end in communication with each other, the first connection end is connected to the liquid inlet, the second connection end is connected to an opening of the portable container, one end of the liquid conveying tube is connected to or integrally molded on the adapter body, and the other end of the liquid conveying tube is suitable to extend into the portable container.

3 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 2 , wherein the adapter body further comprises a second connection portion, the second connection portion is disposed in the first connection portion, and is in communication between the first connection end and the second connection end, and the liquid conveying tube is fixedly or detachably connected to or integrally molded on the second connection portion, and is suitable to extend into the portable container.

4 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 2 , wherein an internal thread thread-connected to the portable container is formed in the second connection end.

5 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 4 , wherein the inner diameter of the second connection end is 28 mm.

6 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 4 , wherein multiple protrusions are disposed on an outer wall of the second connection end, and the multiple protrusions are configured to provide a contact surface abutting against a hand of an operator to reduce torque of screwing the adapter.

7 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid inlet is optionally connected to a connection head of the water pipe or the first connection end.

8 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 2 , wherein a breather hole in communication with the portable container is formed on the adapter body.

9 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 1 , wherein the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine further comprises a filter washer disposed at the liquid inlet, the housing is provided with a mounting portion fitted to the adapter, and the filter washer is sealed and mounted in the mounting portion.

10 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 1 , wherein the portable container is a common beverage bottle.

11 . The hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine according to claim 1 , wherein the portable container is fitted to one end of the adapter, the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine is fitted to the other end of the adapter, the portable container comprises a bottom surface supporting the portable container, and when the portable container is connected to the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine by using the adapter, the center of gravity of the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine falls within a range of the bottom surface of the portable container, and the hand-held high-pressure cleaning machine can be supported above the portable container.

12 . An adapter, wherein the adapter is suitable to be connected between a hand-held spraying device and a portable container, the adapter comprises an adapter body and a liquid conveying tube, the adapter body comprises a first connection portion, the first connection portion comprises a first connection end and a second connection end in communication with each other, the first connection end is configured to be connected to a liquid inlet of the hand-held spraying device, the second connection end is configured to be connected to an opening of the portable container, one end of the liquid conveying tube is connected to or integrally molded on the adapter body, and the other end of the liquid conveying tube is suitable to extend into the portable container.

13 . The adapter according to claim 12 , wherein an internal thread thread-connected to the portable container is formed in the second connection end.

14 . The adapter according to claim 12 , wherein the adapter body further comprises a second connection portion, the second connection portion is disposed in the first connection portion, and is in communication between the first connection end and the second connection end, and the liquid conveying tube is fixedly or detachably connected to or integrally molded on the second connection portion, and is suitable to extend into the portable container.

15 . The adapter according to claim 12 , wherein a breather hole in communication with the portable container is formed on the adapter body.
