Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steam-type electric broom, and more particularly to an electric broom including brooming, suction, steam supply, and wiping mechanisms for thoroughly cleaning different dirt and dust at the same time.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a steam-type electric broom that provides the function of brooming.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a steam-type electric broom that provides the function of vacuum cleaning.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a steam-type electric broom that provides the function of spraying steam.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a steam-type electric broom that provides the function of wiping.
  • the steam-type electric broom of the present invention mainly includes an upper hood, a lower hood, and a brooming mechanism, a suction mechanism, a steam supply mechanism, and a wiping mechanism located between the upper and the lower hoods.
  • the brooming, suction, steam supply, and wiping mechanisms are electrically connected to a power supply having an operating section, so as to be driven by the power supply via the operating section to effectively clean dirt and dust.
  • the steam-type electric broom of the present invention mainly includes a brooming mechanism 11 (see Fig. 4), a suction mechanism 12 (see Fig. 8), a steam supply mechanism 13 (see Fig. 9), and a wiping mechanism 14 (see Fig. 10), all of which are electrically connected to a power supply 15 (see Fig. 1).
  • the power supply 15 includes an operating section 151 consisting of a first switch 151a, a second switch 151b, and circuit boards 151c separately connected to the two switches 151a, 151b, and is electrically connected to a first driving unit 152 (see Fig. 6). Through operation of the operating section 151, the power supply 15 is actuated to drive the brooming mechanism 11, the suction mechanism 12, the steam supply mechanism 13, and the wiping mechanism 14 to clean dirt and dust.
  • a brooming mechanism 11 As can be seen from Figs. 1 and 3, all the brooming mechanism 11, the suction mechanism 12, the steam supply mechanism 13, and the wiping mechanism 14 are mounted between an upper hood 16 and a lower hood 17.
  • the upper hood 16 is provided at predetermined positions with a handle connection hole 161 and a water inlet 162.
  • a cap 161a having a through hole 161b is located at an inner side of the handle connection hole 161, and a sealing element 161c and an elastic disc 161d are sequentially connected to a top of the cap 161a for a pivotal element 161f provided at a lower end of a handle 161e of the electric broom to connect thereto.
  • the pivotal element 161f is formed from an upper and a lower case 161i, 161j, and a joining ring 161k.
  • the upper and the lower case 161i, 161j respectively include an engaging head 161g, 161m located between the handle connection hole 161 on the upper hood 16 and the elastic disc 161d below the handle connection hole 161 to pivotally connect the handle 161e to the upper hood 16.
  • a handle grip 161h is provided at an upper end of the handle 161e.
  • a cap 162a and a cover plate 162d are connected to an upper and a lower side, respectively, of the water inlet 162.
  • the cover plate 162d below the water inlet 162 is closed to a top of a reservoir 162g on the lower hood 17 via a gasket 162e.
  • the reservoir 162g is internally provided with a separator 162f and heating elements 162h having front ends separately received in receiving holes 162i provided at one side of the reservoir 162g.
  • the brooming mechanism 11 includes a front cover 163 connected to a front side of the upper hood 16, a first and a second pivoting support 171a, 171b provided on two lateral sides of the lower hood 17, a shaft 171c rotatably supported on the first and the second pivoting support 171a, 171b, a length of spiral brush 171k provided along the shaft 171c, and a transmission shaft 171d located between the shaft 171c and the first pivoting support 171a to connect to and be rotated by a transmission belt 152a, which is connected at another end to the first driving unit 152 (see Fig. 6).
  • the suction mechanism 12 includes an open-bottomed recess 171p formed on the lower hood 17 (see Fig. 8), a cap 171m and a blade fan 171n mounted in the recess 171p, a second driving unit 171i located above the recess 171p to connect at a lower end to the blade fan 171n, a suction inlet 171z provided at one side of the recess 171p, and an elastic baffle 171y normally shielding the suction inlet 171z.
  • the elastic baffle 171y When the blade fan 171n is operated to produce a suction flow, the elastic baffle 171y is instantaneously sucked inward by the produced suction flow to open the suction inlet 171z, allowing external dirt and dust to be sucked via the suction inlet 171z into a dust collecting space 171o inside the lower hood 17 (see Fig. 7). And, when the blade fan 171n stops operating, the elastic baffle 171y returns to its home position under an elastic restoring force thereof, and thereby completely shields the suction inlet 171z again.
  • Figs. 9 and 11 shows the steam supply mechanism 13 included in the present invention.
  • the steam supply mechanism 13 includes an open-bottomed transverse channel 171q provided on the lower hood 17, and a bent plate 171r and a sealing cover 171s sequentially mounted in the channel 171q.
  • the wiping mechanism 14 includes an open-bottomed room 171t having pivoting supports 171e provided at two lateral ends thereof, a pivot shaft 171v supported in the room 171t via bearings 171u, 171h that are connected to two ends of the pivot shaft 171v and located in the two pivoting supports 171e, and a wiper 172f wrapped around the pivot shaft 171v.
  • the pivot shaft 171v is formed from an upper and a lower shell 171f, 171g.
  • the lower hood 17 is provided with rollers 171x that allow the electric broom of the present invention to smoothly move over a place to be cleaned, such as a floor.
  • Figs. 12 and 13 shows another embodiment of the wiping mechanism 14 included in the present invention.
  • the wiping mechanism 14 includes a wiping plate 172b mounting to a bottom of the lower hood 17 through engagement of a plurality of fixing means 172c provided on the wiping plate 172b with a plurality of receiving means 172a correspondingly provided on the bottom of the lower hood 17.
  • a wiper 172g may be removably attached to the wiping plate 172b.
  • the first and the second switch 151a, 151b may be otherwise provided on the handle grip 161h instead of locating on the upper hood 16.
  • the steam-type electric broom of the present invention provides multiple functions, including brooming, vacuum cleaning, spraying steam, and wiping, enabling a user to conveniently complete different cleaning works at the same time with only one tool.
