Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning appliance technology, and in particular to a steam mop. Background Technology

[0002] A steam mop is a household cleaning tool that uses heated water to generate pressure and high temperature, directly disinfecting and cleaning the home environment with high-temperature, high-pressure steam. A steam mop typically consists of a working section and a control section. The control section is usually a lever mounted on the working section to operate corresponding parts. The working section includes the main unit and the mop head. The main unit contains a steam generator that produces high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which is then sprayed out through the mop head to disinfect and clean the floor. Currently, most commercially available steam mops have the main unit located at the bottom of the overall structure (connected between the control section and the mop head), linked to the mop head, as in the steam mop disclosed in patent number 202322943169.8. With this structure, when maintenance or repair of the main components within the main unit is needed, or when parts within the main unit are damaged and require replacement, the control section and mop head must be detached from the main unit, making disassembly and reassembly inconvenient. In addition, the main unit with the above-mentioned structural design is close to the ground, making it susceptible to moisture and dirt, which may accelerate the aging of components or cause circuit failure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a steam mop with a simple structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble for maintenance or repair of the main components.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A steam mop includes a mop head, a push rod, and a main unit with a steam generator inside. The top end of the push rod is detachably and fixedly connected to the main unit, and the bottom end of the push rod is connected to the mop head. The push rod is provided with a steam delivery channel for delivering steam generated by the steam generator to the mop head.

[0006] The host is equipped with an operating handle.

[0007] The operating handle is detachably connected to the main unit.

[0008] The operating handle is equipped with a control device, and a corresponding control switch is provided on the operating handle.

[0009] The main unit is detachably equipped with a water tank, and the main unit is equipped with a water pump, which is used to supply water from the water tank to the steam generator.

[0010] The main unit is provided with a first steam receiving chamber, and the mop head is provided with a second steam receiving chamber. The steam generated by the steam generator is contained in the first steam receiving chamber. The push rod is provided with a steam conduit. The steam conduit has an axially penetrating steam delivery channel inside. The steam delivery channel is sealed and connected to the first steam receiving chamber and the steam delivery channel is sealed and connected to the second steam receiving chamber.

[0011] The push rod is composed of at least two segments that are coaxially and detachably connected.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The structure is simple, with the main unit placed at the top of the push rod. When maintenance or replacement of the main components is required, the main unit can be directly removed from the push rod, simplifying the disassembly and assembly process and reducing maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, this structural design reduces the impact of a damp ground environment on the main unit, improving the equipment's lifespan and stability. With the main unit positioned at the top, the center of gravity of the entire machine shifts upwards, making pushing and pulling operations easier, especially suitable for long-term cleaning operations. The main unit and push rod are detachably fixed, facilitating the replacement of different models of main units or push rods, expanding the product's applicable scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of Embodiment 1 of the present utility model;

[0014] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of Embodiment 2 of the present invention;

[0015] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Example 1: As shown in the figure, a steam mop includes a mop head 1, a push rod 2, and a main unit 3 with a steam generator 30 inside. The top end of the push rod 2 is detachably and fixedly connected to the main unit 3, and the bottom end of the push rod 2 is connected to the mop head 1. The push rod 2 is provided with a steam delivery channel 20 for delivering the steam generated by the steam generator 30 to the mop head 1.

[0018] In this specific embodiment, the main unit 3 is provided with an operating handle 4. By integrating the operating handle 4 onto the main unit 3, the user can directly hold the main unit 3 for operation, which conforms to ergonomic design; it simplifies the structure, realizes the concentration of functions, and reduces the failure rate.

[0019] In this specific embodiment, the operating handle 4 is detachably connected to the main unit 3. This modular design allows the operating handle 4 to be replaced or upgraded individually, reducing maintenance costs; it also supports the replacement of different models or shapes of operating handles 4 to meet diverse needs.

[0020] In this specific embodiment, a control device 41 is provided inside the operating handle 4, and a corresponding control switch 42 is provided on the operating handle 4. The control switch 42 is integrated into the operating handle 4, allowing the user to adjust the steam volume or turn the machine on and off with one hand, improving ease of use; the control device 41 is built-in, reducing exposed cables and preventing tangling or damage.

[0021] In this specific embodiment, a water tank 31 is detachably mounted on the main unit 3, and a water pump 32 is installed inside the main unit 3. The water pump 32 is used to supply water from the water tank 31 to the steam generator 30. This allows the water tank 31 to be quickly disassembled and assembled, and water filling does not require flipping the main unit 3, avoiding the risk of water leakage; the water pump 32 ensures a continuous water supply, avoids steam interruption, and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the main unit 3 is provided with a first steam receiving chamber 33, and the mop head 1 is provided with a second steam receiving chamber 11. The steam generated by the steam generator 30 is contained in the first steam receiving chamber 33. The push rod 2 is provided with a steam conduit 5, which has an axially extending steam delivery channel 20 inside. The steam delivery channel 20 is sealed and connected to the first steam receiving chamber 33 and the second steam receiving chamber 11. The dual-chamber structure balances pressure fluctuations and ensures stable steam output; the sealed connection design effectively reduces steam loss during delivery. In addition, high-temperature steam is conducted through the steam conduit 5 inside the push rod 2, preventing the surface of the push rod 2 from overheating, thereby ensuring safe use.

[0023] In this specific embodiment, the steam conduit 5 is made of a high-temperature resistant material to ensure its service life.

[0024] Example 2: The rest of the components are the same as in Example 1, except that the push rod 2 is composed of at least two segments coaxially and detachably connected. Disassembly shortens the overall length, facilitating storage or transport; damaged segments can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs. Correspondingly, the steam conduit 5 is also composed of multiple segments coaxially and detachably connected.
