Abstract
A steam-cleaning appliance of the invention comprises a housing in which a water storage chamber, a pump, and a steam device are mounted. The pump pumps cold water from the water storage chamber and delivers cold water to the steam device. The steam device includes a water-flowing path and a heating unit that heats water flowing through the water-flowing path. Cold water pumped by the pump penetrates into the water-flowing path via a water inlet to be heated. The increasingly heated water is sputtered into steam through a steam pipe to a nozzle of the steam-cleaning appliance.

A steam-cleaning appliance comprising:
- a housing, including a water storage chamber and a pump mounted therein, the water storage chamber receiving cold water, and the pump being connected to the water storage chamber via a pipe to pump cold water;
- and
- a steam device, mounted within the housing, the steam device including a water-flowing path and a heating unit that is placed vis-a-vis the water-flowing path, wherein the water-flowing path further includes a water inlet that is connected to the pump via a pipe, and a water outlet through which cold water after being heated is sputtered into steam to a steam pipe connected to the water outlet, the steam pipe delivering steam to a nozzle, thereby a steam path is achieved to reduce the steam formation time while the pump allows the user to control the steam amount and the steam flow for ensuring a safe use.
