Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and more specifically to a self-heating cleaning fluid generation device. Background Technology

[0002] Room temperature cleaning fluids do not provide optimal cleaning results, therefore cleaning devices that use hot water and / or steam as cleaning fluids have emerged. Self-heating methods that generate hot water and / or steam through chemical reactions offer greater convenience and flexibility because they require no electricity and thus no external power source.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN101036571A discloses a cleaning device with a heated cleaning solution, including a self-heating cleaning fluid generating device. Its structure is as follows... Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a cleaning fluid container 3a, a fluid delivery nozzle 4a, and a self-heating unit 5a. The cleaning fluid container 3a is fixed to a handle 1a, and the self-heating unit 5a is assembled inside the cavity of the cleaning fluid container 3a. The self-heating unit 5a includes a first chamber 6a containing a first reactant and a second chamber 7a containing a second reactant. A fragile partition 8a is provided between the first chamber 6a and the second chamber 7a. The self-heating cleaning fluid generating device uses a trigger 9a to puncture the fragile partition 8a of the self-heating unit 5a, causing the first reactant in the first chamber 6a and the second reactant in the second chamber 7a to mix and react. The heat generated by the reaction is used to heat the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid container 3a, and the heated cleaning fluid is delivered to the cleaning section 2a through the fluid delivery nozzle 4a.

[0004] However, the existing self-heating cleaning fluid generating device still has the following technical problems: the two reactants of the self-heating reaction are pre-stored in two sealed chambers, and the fragile partition 8a of the two chambers needs to be punctured by external force in order for the two reactants to react. This not only makes the structure complicated and the operation very inconvenient, but also makes the self-heating unit 5a a disposable item. When either reactant is consumed, the self-heating unit 5a needs to be replaced. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a self-heating cleaning fluid generation device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has a reusable self-heating unit.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a self-heating cleaning fluid generating device, comprising a self-heating unit and a fluid container, characterized in that: the self-heating unit includes a self-heating container, the self-heating container is provided with a fluid injection port and a heating pack dispensing port for dispensing a heating pack, the fluid container is attached to the top of the self-heating container, the fluid output of the fluid container is connected to the fluid injection port on the self-heating container, the top of the fluid container is provided with a feeding pipe extending downward and connected to the top of the self-heating container, the feeding pipe is isolated from the fluid container, and the top of the feeding pipe is the heating pack dispensing port.

[0007] With the above structure, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0008] The self-heating unit of the self-heating cleaning fluid generating device of this invention places the fluid active material and the fluid together in the same isolated chamber, thus eliminating the need for an additional trigger and simplifying the overall structure. Secondly, in use, fluid is supplied to the self-heating container through the fluid container, and a heating pack is added through a feeding pipe isolated from the fluid container but connected to the self-heating container. This allows for the addition of two reactants to the self-heating container, making operation very convenient. Furthermore, after the exothermic reaction is complete, fluid and / or a heating pack can be added again, enabling the self-heating unit to be reused. In addition, attaching the fluid container to the top of the self-heating container not only results in a compact structure but also allows the heat generated by the self-heating container to be conducted to the fluid container, generating hot water for cleaning within the fluid container.

[0009] Preferably, the fluid container has a filling port at the top. This arrangement facilitates the replenishment of liquid in the fluid container.

[0010] Preferably, the heating pack dispensing port is provided with a heating pack dispensing compartment, which has a first through hole communicating with the self-heating container. The heating pack dispensing compartment facilitates the placement and removal of the heating pack, and the first through hole communicating with the self-heating container allows the inner cavity of the self-heating container to communicate with the inner cavity of the heating pack dispensing compartment, enabling the fluid to mix and react with the heating pack.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the heating pack dispensing chamber is sealed. This design not only facilitates the operation of the heating pack dispensing chamber but also makes the self-heating container more enclosed, effectively preventing the escape of heat generated by the exothermic reaction of the self-heating container and resulting in higher heat utilization efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the heating pack dispensing chamber and the heating pack dispensing port are vertically movably connected. This configuration allows for easy operation in emergency situations. By moving the heating pack dispensing chamber upwards, the heating pack is removed from the fluid surface, causing it to stop its exothermic reaction due to lack of water. Conversely, moving the heating pack dispensing chamber downwards brings the heating pack back into contact with the fluid surface, restarting the reaction.

[0013] Preferably, an automatic pop-out structure is provided between the heating pack dispensing port and the heating pack dispensing compartment. This structure allows the heating pack dispensing compartment to pop out automatically when pressed and retract automatically when pressed again. The automatic pop-out structure allows the heating pack dispensing compartment to move up and down when pressed, making operation more convenient and effortless.

[0014] Preferably, the heating pack dispensing compartment has a second through hole on its side for picking up and placing the heating pack when it moves upward. This design makes it more convenient to pick up and place the heating pack when it moves upward.

[0015] Preferably, the first through hole is located in the lower half of the heating pack dispensing compartment, and the second through hole is located in the upper half of the heating pack dispensing compartment. The positions of the first and second through holes are reasonably designed, which facilitates the dispensing of the heating pack and ensures that the inner cavity of the self-heating container is connected to the inner cavity of the heating pack dispensing compartment.

[0016] Preferably, multiple first through holes are provided and evenly distributed on the bottom and / or the sides of the lower half of the heating pack dispensing chamber. This arrangement allows the fluid to flow evenly in all directions, resulting in a more complete reaction of the heating pack.

[0017] Preferably, the self-heating container and the fluid container are integrally formed, with a partition laterally arranged in the middle of the same container to form the self-heating container and the fluid container. This arrangement can further simplify the structure.

[0018] Preferably, the partition is corrugated. This arrangement increases the fluid conduction area between the self-heating container and the fluid container, resulting in better heat transfer.

[0019] Preferably, the system also includes a fluid delivery nozzle, the hot water output of the fluid container being connected to the nozzle for spraying hot water onto the cleaning area and / or the surface to be cleaned. This configuration allows hot water from the fluid container to be delivered to the cleaning area and / or the surface to be cleaned. Attached image description:

An automatic pop-out structure is provided between the heating pack dispensing outlet 5 and the heating pack dispensing chamber 12, which is used to automatically pop out the heating pack dispensing chamber 12 when the top of the heating pack dispensing chamber 12 is pressed. The automatic pop-out structure can adopt existing technology and will not be described in detail here; the side of the heating pack dispensing chamber 12 has a second through hole 15 for picking up and putting in the heating pack when it moves upward.

[0033] The first through hole 14 is provided in the lower half of the heating pack dispensing chamber 12, and the second through hole 15 is provided in the upper half of the heating pack dispensing chamber 12; multiple first through holes 14 are provided and are evenly distributed on the bottom and / or the side of the lower half of the heating pack dispensing chamber 12.
