DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] The following is a detailed explanation of the invention, with references to the attached drawings.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 1, this invention includes a hollow main body 1, including a water tank 2, a peristaltic pump 3, a control system 4, and a lithium battery 5. The water tank 2 connects with the input of the peristaltic pump 3, and the output of the peristaltic pump 3 connects with one end of the silicone hose 6. The other end of the silicone hose 6 stretches out of the main body 1 and connects with the steam generator, while the lithium battery 5 provides power for the whole cleaner. Control system 4 separately connects with the peristaltic pump 3 and steam generator 7, and serves the function of controlling the working status of the pump 3 and generator 7.

[0034] Referring now to FIGS. 2-3, the steam generator 7 consists of a tubular cavity 71, around which a helical tube coils 72. The coil 72 connects the silicone hose 6 with the tubular cavity 71, feeding liquid from the main body 1 into the cavity 71. A heating rod 74 inside 71 heats and vaporizes the liquid, which then ejects from the steam eject pipe 73. The heating rod 74 connects with and is powered by the control system 4.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, water level sensor 10 sits in the main body 1, and connects with the control system 4. When sensor 10 detects a lack of water in the water tank 2, control system 4 will sound the sensor alarm with a buzzer warning, and turn off the heating rod 74.

[0036] Fuse holder 14 sits in the main body 1 and connects with control system 4, to protect the control system 4's circuit.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 4, temperature protector 75 and temperature control probe 76 are attached onto the steam generator 7. Temperature protector 75 and temperature control probe 76 are electrically connected to control system 4, to control the internal temperature of 7 and avoid overheating.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, handle 8 extends from the main body 1.

[0039] Adjustable shoulder strap 9 is attached to the main body 1.

[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the end of steam eject pipe 73 connects with a round cleaning brush 12, which is used for removing gum and other sticky residue off of surfaces.

[0041] The end of steam generator 7 connects with a cleaning flat brush 13, which is used to further clean surfaces by abrasion.

[0042] Heat insulation casing (not shown) wraps around steam generator 7.

[0043] To operate the machine, a worker would first fill the water tank 2 with water and/or cleaning solution. The worker can carry the machine on his or her shoulder using strap 9, while one hand holds handle 8 and the other holds the wand in which steam generator 7 is located. After starting the machine, the control system 4 turns on peristaltic pump 3, which pumps liquid from the water tank 2 into the silicone hose 6. The silicone hose 6 transports liquid into the tubular cavity 71 through the helical tube 72. The heating rod 74 vaporizes the liquid into gas, which then ejects from steam eject pipe 73 onto the desired surface. The cleaning round brush 12 and flat brush 13 can be then used to remove gum and other sticky residue off of surfaces, seats, tables, walls and so on.

[0044] When the sensor 10 detects a lack of water in water tank 2, the control system 4 will sound the sensor 10 alarm with a buzzer sound, while turning off the heating rod 74.

[0045] When the double temperature sensors detect that the steam generator 7 is too hot, it will adjust the temperature of the heating rod 74 using the control system 4, to avoid equipment damage.

[0046] The above explains this invention and the structure of the parts. Connection method can be changeable, and any improvement based on this invention should not exclude the protection of this invention.
