As can be seen from FIG. 1, the surface cleaning device may be equipped with different cleaning accessories (e.g. two steam chamber cleaning accessories 30 of different shapes or specifications), and one concentrated steam shot accessory 20. The surface cleaning device may have different operating modes, such as a water spraying cleaning mode, a steam cleaning mode, a steam disinfection mode, etc. A user may selectively mount different cleaning accessories at an end of the wand 105 according to different needs and cleaning modes.

With reference to FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 2c, these views represent various structures of a concentrated steam shot accessory according to embodiments of the present disclosure, which shows connection to a wand and a hose of a surface cleaning device. FIG. 2b illustrates a sectional structure of the concentrated steam shot accessory of FIG. 2a. FIG. 2c illustrates a partially enlarged structure of part A of the concentrated steam shot accessory of FIG. 2b. It can be seen that a locking button 105a is provided on the wand 105; and a button aperture 21a in cooperation with the locking button 105a is provided on a shot accessory housing 21 of the concentrated steam shot accessory 20. By the cooperation between the locking button 105a on the wand 105 and the button aperture 21a on the shot accessory housing 21, the steam shot accessory 20 can be conveniently connected to and released from the main body 10 of the cleaning device.

Likewise, locking buttons are also provided on other cleaning accessories, such as the steam chamber cleaning accessories 30 which are selectively mounted, to facilitate connection to the wand of the main body 10 of the surface cleaning device.

With reference to FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c, FIG. 3a illustrates a three-dimensional structure of a concentrated steam shot accessory according to the present disclosure; FIG. 3b illustrates a three-dimensional sectional structure of the concentrated steam shot accessory of FIG. 3a; and FIG. 3c illustrates a front view sectional structure of the concentrated steam shot accessory of FIG. 3a.

In the illustrated configurations shown in FIGS. 3a-3c, the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 has a steam inlet 207 connected to the steam supply interface 107 of the surface cleaning device; wherein the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 includes: a shot accessory housing 21, a rear end of which is connected to the wand 105 of the main body 10 of the surface cleaning device; and a steam concentrating channel member, provided inside the shot accessory housing 21. In this configuration, the steam concentrating channel member is an overmolded integrated member, and includes a channel member main body 22 and a single nozzle 23 provided in the front end of the channel member main body 22, the nozzle 23 being made of metal.

As set forth herein, the steam concentrating channel member has a single channel extending along a linear channel axis, the front end of the channel forms a steam outlet 208, and the rear end of the channel forms the steam inlet 207; the nozzle 23 is provided at the front end of the channel along the channel axis and forms a steam outlet 208 located on the nozzle 23; and a tapered hole section tapered towards the steam outlet 208 is formed between the steam inlet 207 and the steam outlet 208 which is located on the nozzle 23. Wherein the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 is configured such that the steam outlet 208 faces towards a to-be-cleaned surface in an unobstructed manner along a shooting direction. In case a contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory (hereinafter mentioned) which is selectively connected is mounted, the state of unobstructed manner is not strictly required.

In the present disclosure, because of the tapered hole section of the steam concentrating channel member, the steam can be accelerated, so that the steam shot out from the steam outlet 208 has a higher shooting speed; in addition, as a single nozzle and a single channel are used, the steam can be better concentrated, and the shooting use of the steam is stronger. Therefore, the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 of the present disclosure can not only dissolve stains by using the temperature of the steam, but also can remove the stains by using the flushing effect due to shooting of the steam, thereby being able to remove stubborn stains such as oil stains attached to, for example, hard surfaces. Accordingly, the concentrated steam shot accessory of the present disclosure may extend the steam function of the surface cleaning device to more use cases, such as a cooking hob and cleaning oil stains on kitchen hood.

The channel member main body may be formed of a plastic member. There is a high difficulty in directly forming a steam shooting hole (i.e. the steam outlet 208, having a diameter of about 0.8 mm) in the plastic member. Moreover, when used at the high temperature of the steam, the plastic steam channel may be deformed, thereby affecting the steam shooting. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after the metal nozzle (which is resistant to high temperature and is not easy to deform) is embedded in the front end of the steam channel, the steam shooting hole is formed in the metal nozzle, facilitating formation of the steam shooting hole and stable shooting of steam.

The nozzle 23 being made of metal can facilitate machining and forming of the steam outlet 208 located on the nozzle 23, and the steam outlet 208 will not be deformed under the effect of high temperature of the steam when the steam is shot, thereby possibly ensuring the stability of the steam shooting operation.

With reference to FIGS. 2c and 3c, a nozzle flange 231 extending in a radial direction and embedded in the channel member main body 22 is formed on the nozzle 23.

By forming the nozzle flange 231 on the nozzle 23, the nozzle 23 and the channel member main body 22 can be better bonded together to prevent the nozzle 23 from falling off.

A first tapered hole 226 is formed in the channel member main body 22, a second tapered hole 236 is formed in the nozzle 23, the first tapered hole 226 is connected to the second tapered hole 236 along the channel axis, and the steam outlet 208 is formed at the front end of the second tapered hole 236, wherein the tapered angle of the second tapered hole 236 is greater than that of the first tapered hole 226.

By forming the second tapered hole 236 in the nozzle 23 and enabling the tapered angle of the second tapered hole 236 to be greater than that of the first tapered hole 226 located at the rear side, steam can be further concentrated and accelerated.

With reference to FIGS. 2c and 3b, a connection protruding column is provided inside the shot accessory housing 21, the rear end of the channel member main body 22 forms a connection flange 224, and the connection flange 224 is connected to the connection protruding column by a connecting screw 225.

Because of the connection between the connection flange 224 and the connection protruding column, it can be ensured that the steam concentrating channel member is reliably connected to the shot accessory housing 21.

As illustrated herein, a stop portion 213 is formed inside the front end of the shot accessory housing 21, and the front end of the channel member main body 22 forms an abutting portion 223 that abuts against the stop portion 213.

Due to the cooperation between the stop portion 213 and the abutting portion 223, it can be further ensured that the steam concentrating channel member is stably mounted in the shot accessory housing 21.

Referring again to FIG. 2c, a front end aperture 211 is formed at the front end of the shot accessory housing 21, and the channel member main body 22 includes an extension section 221 that extends forward from the abutting portion 223 and passes through the front end aperture 211; the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 further includes a contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory which is selectively connected, wherein the contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory has a connecting sleeve on the extension section 221 of the channel member main body 22; and the contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory includes at least one of a circular brush accessory 26, a rectangular brush accessory 27, and a shovel-like accessory 28. With reference to FIGS. 4a, 4b, and 4c, the illustrated configurations respectively show instances that a circular brush accessory 26, a rectangular brush accessory 27, and a shovel-like accessory 28 are further provided on the concentrated steam shot accessory.

When the effect of dissolving and flushing stubborn stains such as oil stains by steam is not ideal, further by the action of an external force of the contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory such as a brush accessory or a shovel-like accessory, the stains on the to-be-cleaned surface can be loosened and separated from the to-be-cleaned surface as far as possible, and the stains can be more easily dissolved and removed under the action of the steam, thereby being able to achieve a better effect of removing stains. In order to achieve the connection of the contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory, in a specific implementation, an L-shaped notch can be provided on the connecting sleeve of the contact-type auxiliary cleaning accessory, and a protruding column extending radially is provided on the extension section of the channel member main body 22, so as to achieve rotational locking by cooperation between the protruding column and the L-shaped notch.

The extension section 221 includes a first extension section 221a and a second extension section 221b extending forward from the first extension section, the diameter of the second extension section 221b being less than that of the first extension section 221a.

A sealing ring assembly 24 is provided on the outer surface of the extension section 211, and the sealing ring assembly 24 includes a first sealing ring 24a provided on the first extension section 221a and a second sealing ring 24b provided on the second extension section 221b.

Referring to FIGS. 2b, 2c, and 3a, a vent 212 is formed on the shot accessory housing 21, such that the interior of the hose 104 is in communication with the external environment through the vent 212.

The surface cleaning device has an operating mode using a negative pressure suction; after the concentrated steam shot accessory has been mounted, if a user accidentally selects the operating mode of the surface cleaning device as an operating mode having a negative pressure suction, a suction motor will operate in an anomalous state with increased heat generation in the case of being unable to achieve ventilation, thereby causing safety risks. The vent on the shot accessory housing can ensure ventilation between the hose and the external environment, effectively avoiding safety risks caused by improper selection of operating modes.

With reference now to FIG. 3a, strip-shaped protruding ribbings 21c can also be further provided on the outer surface of the shot accessory housing 21, and guide groove 21b can also be further provided on the inner surface of the shot accessory housing 21, so that the user can connect the concentrated steam shot accessory 20 to the wand 105 or remove same from the wand 105 along the guide groove 21b.
