Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning appliances, and more particularly to a steam cleaning apparatus.
  • the document US 8 549 697 B1 describes a steam cleaning apparatus according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • a steam cleaning apparatus is a tool for dissolving stubborn dirt attached to objects and performing sterilization and disinfection by high-temperature steam.
  • the steam cleaning apparatus can be used for sterilization, fine dust removal, decontamination, oil stain removal, and is widely used in personal household deep cleaning and housekeeping fields.
  • An object of the present invention is to prolong a continuous operating time of a steam cleaning apparatus.
  • a steam cleaning apparatus includes: a box body having a receiving space; a box cover connected with the box body in an opening and closing manner, wherein the box cover is configured as a water tank for the steam cleaning apparatus; a steam control device arranged in the box body and outside the receiving space; and an accessory in fluid communication or connection with the steam control device and adapted to be accommodated in the receiving space.
  • the buckle is arranged on a side of the box cover away from a water outlet.
  • the box cover is connected with the box body in an opening and closing manner, and serves as a cover of the box body, and on the other hand, the box cover also serves as a water tank of the steam cleaning apparatus for providing a water source for the steam cleaning apparatus. Since the box cover is arranged on the box body, the size of the water tank can be larger compared to being arranged in the receiving space provided by the box body, which can increase the volume of the water tank and increase the continuous operating time of the steam cleaning apparatus. In addition, the receiving space provided by the box body can meet accommodating needs, and prolong the continuous operating time of the steam cleaning apparatus while meeting the accommodating needs.
  • Existing steam cleaning apparatus are usually equipped with a receiving box for accommodating accessories of the steam cleaning apparatus, including a water tank, a steam pipe, a steam handle, a steam nozzle, a steam brush, a circular brush and a detail nozzle, etc.
  • a steam cleaning apparatus includes: a box body having a receiving space; a box cover connected with the box body in an opening and closing manner, wherein the box cover is configured as a water tank for the steam cleaning apparatus; a steam control device arranged in the box body and outside the receiving space; and an accessory in fluid communication or connection with the steam control device and adapted to be accommodated in the receiving space.
  • the steam cleaning apparatus includes a box body 11, a box cover 12 and a steam control device.
  • the box body 11 provides a receiving space
  • the box cover 12 serves as an upper cover and a water tank of the box body 11.
  • the box body 11 includes a lower cover 111 and a middle frame 112, and the receiving space is located in the middle frame 112.
  • the steam control device is arranged in the lower cover 111 and outside the middle frame 112, and the receiving space can partially surround the steam control device.
  • the box cover 12 is connected with the box body 11 in an opening and closing manner, that is, the box cover 12 can be in a closed position or in an open position relative to the box body 11. When the box cover 12 is in the closed position relative to the box body 11, the receiving space is closed and an overall storage is more tidy.
  • the shape of the receiving space is not limited as long as it can accommodate various accessories.
  • the box cover 12 has a hollow structure suitable for receiving water.
  • the material of the box cover 12 may be polypropylene (PP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • PP polypropylene
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • a thickness of a side wall of the box cover 12 ranges from 1mm to 3mm. If the side wall of the box cover 12 is too thick, a volume of the water tank can be reduced. If the side wall of the box cover 12 is too thin, the box cover 12 cannot withstand enough pressure and is easy to crack.
