The following is a working process of the cleaning device in the first state and the second state.

In one embodiment, in the second state, when the processor is triggered by the second trigger signal, the steamer 100 can be detached from the mop assembly 200 and used alone to spray steam toward the area to be cleaned for cleaning.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the cleaning device includes a first trigger assembly by which a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal are generated.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 9, in one embodiment, the first trigger assembly includes a driving source disposed on the carrier 230, and a proximity switch disposed on the steamer 100. As the steamer 100 is detached from the carrier 230, the proximity switch is driven by the drive source to change the switch state. Specifically, when the steamer 100 is carried on the carrying member 230, the driving source and the proximity switch are gradually close, and the interaction between the driving source and the proximity switch causes the proximity switch to be closed, so as to generate the first trigger signal, so that the processor can enable the steam generated by the steamer 100 to enter the steam channel, and the steamer 100 and the mop assembly 200 can be used as a steam mop. When the steamer 100 is separated from the carrier 230, the mop assembly 200 can be used alone; the drive source is far away from the proximity switch, and when the proximity switch is disconnected, a second trigger signal is generated, so that the processor can enable the steam engine 100 to be used independently.

More specifically, referring to fig. 9, in one embodiment, the driving source is a magnet 238, which is disposed inside the carrier 230 and near the top end of the carrier 230. The proximity switch is a reed switch 140, and the reed switch 140 is located inside the steamer 100 and near the bottom end of the steamer 100. When steamer 100 is mounted on carrier 230, reed switch 140 is turned on by the magnetic force of magnet 238, generating a first trigger signal. When steamer 100 is separated from carrier 230, the field gradually decays causing reed switch 140 to open, generating a second trigger signal.

In another specific embodiment, the proximity switch may be otherwise, for example, a hall sensor, or may be a photoelectric switch. When the proximity switch is a photoelectric switch, it needs to be disposed outside the steamer 100, and a driving source is disposed on the top surface of the carrier 230, and the driving source is used for shielding the photoelectric switch. Alternatively, the proximity switch may be a mechanical switch, for example, the proximity switch generates a corresponding trigger signal when the driving source is in contact with or separated from the proximity switch. In a specific embodiment, the proximity switch and the processor may be connected wirelessly, such as a bluetooth connection, or a WiFi connection, or may be a wired connection.

In another embodiment, the first trigger assembly may also be provided on other components. For example, it includes a transmitter disposed on the wand 220 or the mop head 210, and a receiver disposed on the steamer 100, which is driven by the transmitter to generate a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal. For example, a button may be provided on the lever 220 that is communicatively coupled to a receiver on the steamer 100 that is manually depressed to cause the receiver to generate the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal. Alternatively, the transmitter may be a touch screen disposed on the wand 220 or the mop head 210. Alternatively, the transmitter may be a remote controller, and an infrared receiver is provided on the steamer 100, and the remote controller is pressed so that the infrared receiver generates the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal.

In one embodiment, the cleaning apparatus further comprises a second trigger assembly in communication with the processor, the second trigger assembly being triggered to generate a third trigger signal in the first state and/or the second state, thereby triggering the processor by the third trigger signal such that steam flows out of the steamer 100 or stops flowing out of the steamer 100. By the second trigger assembly being activated, the steam output state of the steam engine 100 may be changed.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, in one embodiment, the second trigger assembly includes a trigger switch 161 and a power switch 162 disposed on the steamer 100. In the first state, when the steamer 100 is mounted on the mop assembly 200, if the trigger switch 161 or the power switch 162 is first triggered to generate the fourth trigger signal, the processor will be triggered by the fourth trigger signal, and instruct the steam generated by the steamer 100 to flow out of the steamer 100 constantly and flow into the steam channel, and the mop head 210 will spray the steam. If the trigger switch 161 or the power switch 162 is triggered by the second trigger to generate a fifth trigger signal, the processor will be triggered by the fifth trigger signal and instruct the steam generated by the steam engine 100 to stop flowing out of the steam engine 100, so that the steam cannot flow into the mop assembly 200, and the mop head 210 stops flowing out of the steam. In the second state, the steamer 100 is detached from the mop assembly 200 and the trigger switch 161 is constantly activated. If the power switch 162 is activated by the third trigger signal, the processor will be triggered by the sixth trigger signal and instruct the steam generated by the steam engine 100 to flow out of the steam engine 100 constantly. If the power switch 162 is activated by the fourth trigger signal to generate the seventh trigger signal, the processor will be triggered by the seventh trigger signal and instruct the steam generator 100 to stop the steam flow. It should be noted that the third trigger signal may be any one of the fourth trigger signal, the fifth trigger signal, the sixth trigger signal, or the seventh trigger signal. In a specific embodiment, the processor and the touch switch 161 may be connected by bluetooth, or may be connected by WiFi or by a wired connection.

In other embodiments, the second trigger assembly may be in other forms. For example, as with the first trigger assembly, it includes a transmitter disposed on the wand 220 or the mop head 210 and a receiver disposed on the steamer 100, the receiver being driven by the transmitter to generate a third trigger signal. For example, a button may be provided on the wand 220 that is communicatively coupled to a receiver on the steamer 100, and the receiver may be manually depressed to cause the receiver to generate a third trigger signal. Alternatively, the transmitter may be a touch screen disposed on the wand 220 or the mop head 210. Alternatively, the transmitter may be a remote controller, and an infrared receiver is disposed on the steamer 100, and the remote controller is pressed to cause the infrared receiver to generate the third trigger signal.

In one embodiment, the mop assembly 200 is provided with a trigger mechanism for activating the trigger switch 161. In the first state, the trigger switch 161 is triggered by the trigger mechanism to generate a fourth trigger signal or a fifth trigger signal.

The fourth rotating arm 333 is provided with a second hook 3331 that can be engaged with the locking piece 1511 of the steamer 100. The second button 320 elastically presses the third rotating arm 332, so that the second rotating shaft 331 rotates in the second connecting hole 311, and the second hook 3331 on the fourth rotating arm 333 rotates to be separated from the locking piece 1511. In a specific embodiment, the second button 320 is provided with a locking rod 321, the second locking member 330 is provided with a fourth through hole 3321, and the locking rod 321 is locked into the fourth through hole 3321 to realize the fixed connection between the second button 320 and the second locking member 330. Alternatively, other conventional snap-in structures may be used, or the second button 320 and the second locking member 330 may be integrally connected. The fourth elastic member 350 is compressed when the second button 320 is pressed. After the second button 320 is released, the second locking member 330 is rotated to be restored and connected to the locking member 1511 by the resilient force of the fourth elastic member 350.

In addition, since the locking piece 1511 is disposed on the air nozzle 151, the second connecting seat 310 is inserted into the socket 150, and after the fixing installation, the air tightness of the connection between the air nozzle 151 and the pipe 300 can be improved.
