[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0031] This embodiment provides a steam fabric cleaning machine, which includes a main unit and a cleaning component. The cleaning component includes a cleaning head and a handle, with the handle connected between the cleaning head and the main unit. Based on the foregoing description, the main unit contains a water tank and a steam generator. During cleaning, water is added to the water tank, and the steam generator heats the water in the tank to generate steam. The steam is then delivered to the cleaning head. Specifically, the water tank and the cleaning head are connected by a pipe, through which steam is delivered to the cleaning head. The user can hold the handle and aim the cleaning head at the fabric item to be cleaned, thereby cleaning the fabric item.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the steam fabric cleaning machine also includes a filter element 2 and a first connecting pipe 3. The filter element 2 is disposed inside the handle 1, and the cleaning head is disposed downstream of the filter element 2. The first connecting pipe 3 connects the filter element 2 and the steam generator disposed inside the main unit. The first connecting pipe 3 is a part of the pipe mentioned above. The steam generated by the steam generator can flow sequentially through the first connecting pipe 3 and the filter element 2 to the cleaning head. The filter element 2 is configured to filter impurities inside the steam to prevent impurities from accumulating at the cleaning head, thereby avoiding blockage at the cleaning head and thus avoiding affecting the cleaning effect.
[0033] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the filter element 2 is placed in the handle 1 rather than in the main unit, which makes it convenient for the user to maintain the filter element 2. Specifically, the user can maintain the filter element 2 installed inside the handle 1 by removing the outer shell of the handle 1. Compared with removing the main unit, removing the outer shell of the handle 1 is a simpler operation.
[0034] Furthermore, the steam fabric cleaning machine also includes a water valve 4, which is connected between the filter element 2 and the steam generator. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting pipe 3 includes a first pipe section 31 and a second pipe section (not shown in the figure). The first pipe section 31 is connected between the filter element 2 and the water valve 4, and the second pipe section is connected between the water valve 4 and the steam generator. The water valve 4 is used to adjust the steam output performance, so as to obtain the most suitable cleaning effect according to different cleaning tasks.
[0035] It is understood that the specific structure and working principle of water valve 4 are existing technologies, therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on them.
[0036] In other alternative embodiments, the water valve 4 may also be connected between the filter element 2 and the cleaning head; this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the filter element 2 is detachably installed inside the handle 1, thereby facilitating the user to replace the filter element 2.
[0038] For example, the filter element 2 can be installed inside the handle 1 by bolt connection or other detachable connection methods, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0039] Based on the above description, in this embodiment, the filter element 2 includes a filter box 21 and a filter screen 22. A flow channel 211 is formed inside the filter box 21, and the filter screen 22 is disposed on the flow channel 211. Steam can flow along the flow channel 211, and the filter screen 22 can filter the steam, thereby preventing impurities from flowing to the cleaning head along with the steam.
[0040] In addition, the filter box 21 includes a box body 212 and a box cover 213. The box body 212 and the box cover 213 form a cavity. A partition 214 is provided inside the box body 212. The partition 214 divides the cavity into a first chamber 2121 and a second chamber 2122. The first chamber 2121 is connected to the first connecting pipe 3, and the second chamber 2122 is connected to the cleaning head. There is a gap 215 between the box cover 213 and the partition 214. The gap 215 between the box cover 213 and the partition 214 connects the first chamber 2121 and the second chamber 2122. Based on the above, the first chamber 2121, the second chamber 2122, and the gap 215 between the box cover 213 and the partition 214 together form a flow channel 211.
[0041] Furthermore, the partition 214 and the box body 212 are provided with a mounting groove 216 on the side facing the box cover 213. The filter screen 22 is installed in the mounting groove 216 and covers the first chamber 2121. That is, the partition 214 and the box body 212 together form a stepped surface on the side facing the box cover 213. The filter screen 22 is installed at the bottom of the stepped surface. In other words, the partition 214 and the box body 212 together surround the outer periphery of the filter screen 22. Thus, the partition 214 and the box body 212 can hold the filter screen 22 and limit the position of the filter screen 22, so that the filter screen 22 keeps covering the first chamber 2121.
[0042] Based on the above, steam can first enter the first chamber 2121, and then flow to the second chamber 2122 through the gap 215 between the cover 213 and the partition 214. After that, it flows from the second chamber 2122 to the cleaning head. The filter screen 22 covers the first chamber 2121, so as to fully filter the steam flowing to the cleaning head and more effectively prevent impurities from clogging the cleaning head.
[0043] Furthermore, the filter screen 22 is pressed between the cover 213 and the box body 212, that is, the cover 213 can keep the filter screen 22 in the mounting groove 216 to prevent the filter screen 22 from moving out of the mounting groove 216, thereby ensuring that the filter screen 22 can continuously and effectively filter impurities.
[0044] Furthermore, the box body 212 is provided with reinforcing ribs 2123 inside, thereby improving the structural strength of the box body 212.
[0045] Moreover, the reinforcing ribs 2123 are provided in the first chamber 2121 and support the filter screen 22, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the filter screen 22 and further ensuring that the filter screen 22 can continuously and effectively filter impurities.
[0046] In addition, the housing 212 and the cover 213 are detachably connected, which makes it convenient for users to replace and maintain the filter screen 22.
[0047] Therefore, in this embodiment, after the steam fabric machine has been used for a period of time, the user only needs to maintain the filter screen 22 inside the filter box 21, without having to replace the entire filter element 2.
[0048] Furthermore, the filter box 21 is provided with a first connector 217 and a second connector 218. The flow channel 211 is connected between the first connector 217 and the second connector 218. One end of the first connecting pipe 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connector 217. Based on the above, the other end of the first connecting pipe 3 is connected to the steam generator. The outer periphery of the second connector 218 is sleeved with a second connecting pipe (not shown in the figure). The end of the second connecting pipe away from the second connector 218 is connected to the cleaning head. Thus, this embodiment can ensure that steam flows stably through the filter box 21 to the cleaning head and prevent steam leakage when flowing into and out of the filter box 21.
[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
