Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a steam cleaner that is easy to store accessories. Background Technology

[0002] Steam cleaners, as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning device, use high-temperature and high-pressure steam to dissolve oil stains and sterilize. They are widely used in cleaning work in homes, hotels, cars and other scenarios. In order to adapt to different cleaning surfaces, steam cleaners are usually equipped with a variety of accessories with different functions, such as brush heads, scrapers, nozzles and extension tubes of various shapes.

[0003] Existing steam cleaners primarily focus on the performance of the main unit itself, such as steam generation efficiency, pressure control, and safety, but they lack sufficient consideration for accessory storage. Common practices include haphazardly placing accessories in recesses in the main unit's casing or providing a simple storage bag. The former is merely an "attachment" rather than a "container," its size and shape strictly limited by the main unit's shape, typically only able to hold one or two small brush heads. It's ineffective for larger or irregularly shaped accessories, offering insufficient storage capacity. While the latter provides a separate storage bag, temporarily solving the storage problem, it's a "separate" solution, not integrated with the main unit. The bag's capacity remains limited, and it's easily separated from the main unit and lost. More importantly, it fails to improve the product's integration and portability; users still need to manage the main unit and accessory bag separately, resulting in a poor user experience.

The size of each storage slot 123 is customized according to the size of each accessory, so that accessories of different sizes are fixed in an orderly manner on the shelf 122, achieving the effect of orderly storage and convenient access to accessories.

[0039] Preferably, the storage chamber 120 includes a large item storage area 124 and a small item storage area 125. The large item storage area 124 has several contact protrusions 121 distributed circumferentially around the large accessories and engaging with their outer contours. The small item storage area 125 has a shelf 122 fixed to the lower housing 12, with several storage slots 123 conforming to the contours of small accessories. The large item storage area 124 stores larger accessories such as steam brush heads and scrapers. Fixing these larger accessories directly with the contact protrusions 121 ensures stability without occupying too much space in the storage chamber 120. The small item storage area 125 stores smaller accessories such as various nozzles and spray heads. Since the operator needs to choose which accessories to use based on the specific usage environment, an orderly and intuitive storage area better meets the operator's normal usage needs. A shelf 122 is provided on the 125, and a storage slot 123 is provided on the shelf 122 to make the accessories more neatly arranged and improve the user experience of the operator. In addition, by setting the shelf 122, the center of gravity of the small parts storage area 125 is controlled, so as to avoid the problem of the center of gravity of the storage chamber 120 shifting when storing large accessories in the large parts storage area 124, making the movement of the steam cleaner more stable.
