Steam generator and handheld garment steamer

Abstract

The invention provides a steam generator and a handheld garment steamer. The steam generator comprises a heater, wherein the heater comprises a first heating load and a second heating load which havethe same rated power and have the rated voltage of 110VAC, and further comprises a detection module for detecting input mains supply and a control circuit for powering up the first heating load and the second heating load; when the detection module detects that the mains supply is 110VAC, the control circuit controls the first heating load and the second heating load to be connected in parallel between the L pole and the N pole of the mains supply; when the detection module detects that the mains supply is 220VAC, the control circuit controls the first heating load and the second heating loadto be connected in series and then connected between the L pole and the N pole of the mains supply. The handheld garment steamer is provided with the steam generator. According to the steam generatorand the handheld garment steamer, the way in which the heating loads are connected between the two phases of the mains supply is determined by detecting whether the mains supply is 110VAC or 220VAC, and the two heating loads can work under the rated voltage no matter in a 220VAC environment or an 110VAC environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of garment steamers, in particular to a dual-voltage steam generator using 110VAC and 220VAC and a hand-held garment steamer equipped with the steam generator. Background technique [0002] Hand-held garment irons and electric irons are commonly used home appliances for home travel. Whether at home or in a hotel, using an electric iron can easily iron your clothes, and is very popular among consumers. [0003] As a household appliance, unlike an electric iron that directly presses the clothes on the ironing board to iron the clothes, the hand-held garment ironing machine uses a steam generator to generate steam that is sprayed onto the hanging clothes, which can iron the clothes at the same time. out of shape. Electric irons and other electrical appliances that use mains power as their power supply generally use mains power as their working power. Whether at home or in hotels, wall plugs are basically reserved, and p...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention can automatically identify different input voltages for current steam generators and hand-held garment steamers, and select heaters with the same rated voltage as the mains through different input voltages. If you don’t go to a country with a rated voltage corresponding to the mains , then this kind of electric heater will not be used, and the shortage of resources is wasted. A dual-voltage steam generator and a hand-held garment steamer with the steam generator are provided. The electric iron can work under 220VAC mains electricity. Can also work under 110VAC mains
