Electric steam mop

Abstract

The present patent relates to an electric steam mop, comprising a shell, which is placed to a surface to be cleaned, and has a decontamination surface which is faced downwards and opposite to the surface to be cleaned, wherein the decontamination surface has a steam outlet; a handheld part, which is connected to the shell for handholding; a water tank, which is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet; a steam formation device, which has a water inlet and a steam outlet, wherein the steam outlet is communicated with the steam outlet of the decontamination surface of the shell, and a steam formation cavity is provided between the water inlet and the steam outlet for communicating with the both; a water pump, which is provided between the water tank and the steam formation device, and used to drive the water in the water tank to flow into the steam formation device, and wherein the water pump comprises a reciprocating piston rod; and a synchronous motor, wherein the synchronous motor is connected to the piston rod of the water pump to drive the water pump to actuate. In the present invention, a water pump is driven electrically by a synchronous motor, thus having the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and labor-saving.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present invention relates to a cleaning tool, in particular to an electric steam mop.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Mop is one of the common household cleaning tools, and can be used to clean floors or wall surfaces, even doors or glass windows, etc. When in use, such mop has the disadvantages as follows: the mop needs to be wetted with water, wrung out, then used to wipe the floor; it is difficult for the full-wetted mop to be dewatered; sometime the mop is not sufficiently dewatered, when used again, there will occur the phenomena such as water stains, water drops, etc., on the floor; the mopped floor is too wet to walk immediately, otherwise the wetting floor is more liable to be contaminated. In order to improve the cleaning efficiency, people devise steam mops, which spray steam at the contacting site between the mop and the surface to be cleaned, to wet and heat the surface to be cleaned, thus effectively removing the contaminants on the sur...
