A water inlet pump of the carburetor is closely connected with the water box, and an air outlet is directly connected with the vaporizer. The carburetor is provided with a shell made of metal material containing one of aluminum, zinc and copper or alloy material thereof, the shell is divided into a plurality of steam chambers, each two adjacent steam chambers are communicated by a steam guide opening, the steam chambers are first communicated in pairs by a single line, and a convolute water inlet and steam outlet passage is formed. The inner bottom surface of the steam chambers the convolute water inlet and steam outlet passage passes through rises gradually in the shape of stairs, one end of the convolute water inlet and steam outlet passage is connected with the water inlet and the other end thereof is connected with the steam oulet. After the carburetor is added, the apparatus for ironing clothes of the invention can inject high-temperature and high-pressure steam, the supplied steam is pure and the volume of the apparatus is small; in addition, a pump between the water box and the water inlet can stabilize water supply of the water box.
