Abstract: An easy, efficient, and self-feeding steam mop is provided. With its special design, it is economical and practical to be competitive. There are three sections inside this mop—water feeding, heating, and steaming. The check valve installed on the water feeding tube can be used not only to shut off the water flowing into the boiler when not in use so that the wooden floor or the fabric carpet will not be harmed, but also its unique baffle plate can be used to minimize the backpressure from the boiler and keeps the steam serving flow rate sufficient and continuous with no additional supplement, such as a water or an air pump. And the closed type mop head encompasses the steam not to escape. The bulged, flexible ribs keeps the fabric pad touched on the floor thoroughly, so that the temperature is high and stable and the cleaning effect is good.

Abstract: This is a unique design for a steam generator. The heating zone is not only equipped with two sections, vaporizing and steaming, to upgrade the efficiency, but also can be used as a bumper to minimize the back pressure from compressing chamber. The compressing zone is used to compress the vaporizing steam with the pressure for designated service in a restricted room. The inlet is placed at the bottom whereas the outlet at the top. This keeps the water feeding continuous and no water overflowing when the steam generator is not in use. The temperature controller set beside the inlet is used for temperature control as well as the safety protection. The fuse set behind the temperature controller is used to provide the user a more reliable consideration.
