Description

A steam cleaner Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam cleaning machine technology, and specifically to a steam cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Steam cleaners, also known as saturated steam cleaners, are cleaning devices that use the high temperature and external pressure of saturated steam to clean oil stains and dirt from the surface of parts and vaporize them. They can clean any small gaps and holes, peel off and remove oil stains and residues, and achieve high efficiency, water saving, cleanliness, dryness and low cost, replacing expensive dry ice cleaning.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221515378U discloses a steam cleaner, which consists of a cleaner shell, a water storage container, an electromagnetic pump, and a heating element. The water storage container is used to store water, so that the steam cleaner does not need to be connected to a water source during operation and is not limited by the location of the water source, making it more practical.

[0004] The above solution incorporates a water storage container inside the casing, eliminating the need for a continuous water supply during operation. However, when the heating element generates steam, it directly heats all the water in the storage container, resulting in a long heating time. Furthermore, if only a small amount of steam is required, this leads to a waste of heat.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a steam cleaner to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a steam cleaner to solve the problem that when the heating element heats the water to generate steam, it directly heats all the water in the water storage container, which takes a long time and results in heat waste when only a small amount of steam is needed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A steam cleaner includes a housing, inside which a water storage tank, a water pump, and a transfer tank are fixedly connected. A control panel is mounted on the housing. The top of the water storage tank is located outside the housing. The input end of the water pump is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe, which is located inside the water storage tank. The output end of the water pump is connected to an outlet pipe, one end of which is located inside the transfer tank. The transfer tank is equipped with a heating component for heating water into steam. A delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transfer tank, and the top end of the delivery pipe penetrates the housing and extends to the top of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, the water storage cylinder is threadedly connected to a cap, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the cap.

[0010] Preferably, rollers are installed on both sides of the housing, and a handle is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0011] Preferably, a filter cylinder is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe, and a filter screen is embedded in the filter cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the heating assembly includes a control base fixedly connected to the housing, a main shaft fixedly connected to the control base, and the main shaft is located inside the transfer tank. Heating elements arranged at equal intervals are mounted on the main shaft.

[0013] Preferably, an adapter is installed on the conveying pipe, and the adapter is located above the outer shell, and the outer surface of the conveying pipe is wrapped with an insulation sleeve.

[0014] Preferably, the adapter is threaded with a connector, and a spray pipe is fixedly connected to the connector.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. By setting up heating components, a transfer tank, and a water pump, a fixed amount of purified water is delivered to the transfer tank using the water pump. The transfer tank is equipped with individually controllable heating elements, which can adjust the number of heating elements that can be turned on according to actual needs. This not only shortens the heating time but also reduces heat waste when a small amount of steam is needed, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.

[0017] 2. By equipping the water inlet pipe with a filter cartridge and filter screen, impurities in the water can be effectively filtered out, preventing impurities from entering the transfer tank and heating components, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and ensuring the purity of the steam. The insulation sleeve wrapped around the delivery pipe and the design of the detachable spray pipe not only reduce the heat loss of steam during the delivery process, but also make it convenient for users to replace or adjust the spray pipe according to actual needs, improving the practicality and adaptability of the equipment.
