[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] The present invention provides a steam cleaning device. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the steam cleaning device includes a cleaning component 1, a steam generating component 2 and a coupling component 3. The cleaning component 1 includes a machine base 11 and a cleaning brush head 4 provided on the machine base 11, the cleaning brush head 4 having at least a jet port 41, and a delivery channel 12 connected to the jet port 41 is formed in the machine base 11. The steam generating component 2 is on the machine base 11, and the steam generating component 2 includes a control panel and a steam generator 22 electrically connected to the control panel, and the steam nozzle 23 of the steam generator 22 is connected to the delivery channel 12 so that the steam generated by the steam generator 22 is discharged through the jet port 41 on the cleaning brush head 4. The coupling component 3 is electrically connected to the control panel, and the coupling component 3 is provided on the cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2, and is used to couple the cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2 so as to control the cleaning component 1 via the control panel. Among them, Figure 6 The direction of the arrow shown in FIG is the flow direction of steam.

[0030] Optionally, the base 11 of the cleaning component 1 is a base 11 without an input terminal, and the cleaning component 1 cannot work alone and needs the help of a control panel provided by the steam generating component 2 to work.

[0031] Optionally, the steam nozzle 23 may be connected to the delivery channel 12 via a pipe, and the pipe may be specifically a silicone pipe.

[0032] Optionally, the cleaning brush head 4 of the cleaning assembly 1 can be connected to the delivery channel 12 through a hose. The hose has the characteristics of strong elasticity and strong bending resistance, which is convenient for users to use the cleaning brush head 4.

[0033] Optionally, the coupling component 3 may have a male head and a female head that can be plugged in to achieve electrical connection. One of the male head and the female head may be provided on the cleaning component 1 , and the other may be provided on the steam generating component 2 .

[0034] The utility model can couple the cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2 through the coupling component 3, so that the control panel of the steam generating component 2 can realize the electrical control of the cleaning component 1, and the steam generated by the steam generating component 2 can be delivered to the cleaning brush head 4 through the delivery channel 12, so that the high-temperature steam can be sprayed out through the cleaning brush head 4, thereby cleaning the surface of the object through the cleaning brush head 4. The cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2 of the steam cleaning device designed in this way can be used in combination, so that the cleaning brush head 4 of the cleaning component 1 can utilize the steam generated by the steam generating component 2, which can not only ensure the cleaning effect, but also enable the cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2 to be fully combined.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a nozzle seat 13 with two through ends is formed on the machine base 11 , an air inlet of the nozzle seat 13 is communicated with a steam nozzle 23 of a steam generator 22 , and an air outlet of the nozzle seat 13 is communicated with the delivery channel 12 .

[0036] In this way, the steam nozzle 23 can be stably installed through the nozzle holder 13, so that the steam sprayed by the steam nozzle 23 can be stably transmitted to the delivery channel 12, and the nozzle holder 13 has a simple structure and high delivery efficiency, which effectively improves the practicality and reliability of the steam cleaning equipment.

[0037] Optionally, the nozzle seat 13 has an inner cavity, and the shape of the cavity wall of the inner cavity is adapted to the shape of the outer wall of the steam nozzle 23 , so that the steam nozzle 23 can be stably mounted on the nozzle seat 13 .

[0038] It is understandable that the upper and lower ends of the nozzle holder 13 are connected to each other, the upper opening is corresponding to the steam nozzle 23 , and the lower opening is connected to the delivery channel 12 .

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a locking assembly 14 is provided in the machine base 11 , a limiting groove 24 is formed on the steam generator 22 , and part of the locking assembly 14 extends into the limiting groove 24 to limit the steam generator 22 on the machine base 11 .

[0040] In this way, the steam generating assembly 2 can be firmly fixed to the base 11 of the cleaning assembly 1 through the locking assembly 14 in the base 11, so as to avoid the steam generating assembly 2 falling off during the use of the steam cleaning equipment, thereby effectively ensuring the reliability and firmness of the steam cleaning equipment.

[0041] Optionally, there may be multiple locking assemblies 14 , and the multiple locking assemblies 14 may limit multiple positions of the steam generator 22 to ensure stable installation of the steam generator 22 .

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sealing ring 25 is provided on the outer shell of the steam nozzle 23 of the steam generator 22 , and the outer wall of the sealing ring 25 is sealedly connected to the inner wall of the nozzle seat 13 .

[0043] In this way, by providing a sealing ring 25 outside the steam nozzle 23, steam leakage between the steam nozzle and the nozzle holder 13 during the steam delivery process can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance and reliability of the steam cleaning equipment.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning assembly 1 includes a dirt suction assembly 5, which is electrically connected to the coupling assembly 3 to control the operation of the dirt suction assembly 5 via the control panel. Figure 7 The arrow direction shown in the figure is the flow direction of the dirt.

[0045] In this way, the sewage suction component 5 can be electrically connected to the control panel through the coupling component 3, and the steam generating component 2 can effectively control the sewage suction component 5 through its own control panel. Thus, one control panel can be used to realize the functions of spraying steam and sucking sewage, which effectively simplifies the mechanical structure of the steam cleaning equipment and reduces the use of electrical components, greatly reducing the failure rate of the steam cleaning equipment.

[0046] Optionally, the control panel may send a control instruction to turn on or off the dirt suction component 5 after the coupling component 3 couples the cleaning component 1 and the steam generating component 2 .

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the sewage suction assembly 5 includes a suction motor 51, and the control board is used to supply power and send control signals to the suction motor 51 via the coupling assembly 3. In this way, the control board can send control signals to the suction motor 51 to achieve precise control of the suction motor 51.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the sewage suction component 5 also includes a sewage suction pipe 52 and a sewage tank 53 connected to the suction motor 51. The cleaning brush head 4 also has at least a sewage suction port 42 connected to the sewage suction pipe 52. The suction motor 51 is used to suck dirt into the sewage suction pipe 52 and the sewage tank 53 through the sewage suction port 42 after being started.

[0049] In this way, the suction motor 51 can store the sucked dirt in the sewage tank 53 through the sewage suction pipe 52. The sewage tank 53 can store the dirt sucked by the steam cleaning equipment multiple times, so that the user can dump the dirt regularly, which greatly improves the convenience of the steam cleaning equipment and the user experience.

[0050] Optionally, the sewage suction port 42 and the ejection port 41 may be independently provided on the cleaning brush head 4 , that is, the sewage suction port 42 and the ejection port 41 are not connected to avoid mutual influence between the cleaning function and the sewage suction function.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting groove 24 is located on the outer wall of the steam nozzle 23 of the steam generator 22 .

[0052] Thus, by providing the limiting groove 24 on the outer wall of the steam nozzle 23 , the steam generator 22 can be stably fixed on the machine base 11 , effectively ensuring the firmness and stability of the steam cleaning device.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 14 includes a locking member 15 and an elastic member 16 sleeved on the locking member 15 , and the elastic member 16 is used to apply a force to the locking member 15 to make one end of the locking member 15 extend into the limiting groove 24 .

[0054] In this way, the locking member 15 can be firmly clamped into the limiting groove 24 through the elastic member 16, effectively preventing the steam generating assembly 2 from falling off, and further improving the firmness of the steam cleaning device.

[0055] Optionally, the locking assembly 14 may further include a locking seat provided in the base 11 , and the locking seat is used for stably mounting the locking member 15 .

The electromagnetic pump 26 is electrically connected to the control panel, and the electromagnetic pump 26 is connected to the clean water tank 21 and the steam generator 22 respectively. The electromagnetic pump 26 is used to pump the water in the clean water tank 21 into the steam generator 22 under the control of the control panel.

[0057] In this way, the water stored in the clean water tank 21 can be pumped into the steam generator 22 through the electromagnetic pump 26, which can effectively supply water to the steam generating component 2, thereby improving the efficiency of the steam generating component 2 in generating steam, and further improving the cleaning efficiency and use effect of the steam cleaning equipment.

[0058] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
