Since the water outlet of the water joint is connected to the water flow channel, the liquid water flowing out of the water tank can The water can be discharged externally through the water joint, and at the same time, the installation end of the water joint is installed on the installation seat, so that the water joint can be fixedly installed, and the installation end of the water joint is installed on the installation seat, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the water joint. During the assembly process of the base assembly, the space inside the base assembly is limited.

[0011] In this technical solution, the water flow channel includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel. The first flow channel is connected to the water inlet of the water joint, and the second flow channel is connected to the water outlet of the water joint. By setting the first flow channel and the second flow channel, the deformation resistance of the water flow channel can be improved, and the flow guidance efficiency of the water joint for the liquid discharged from the water tank can be improved.

During the assembly process of the base assembly 200, the space inside the base assembly 200 is limited. When assembling the water tank 132, the water connector 160 and the water outlet assembly 150 in the base assembly 200, the water connector 160 that can be fixedly connected to the mounting seat 210 can reduce the probability of the water connector 160 being deformed after being subjected to external force, thereby avoiding blockage in the water flow channel 162 in the water connector 160 due to excessive deformation, thereby improving the smoothness of the water outlet process of the water tank 132 and improving the comfort of the liquid flow in the base assembly 200.
[0064] At the same time, the installation end 216 of the water connector 160 is installed on the installation seat 210, which can improve the stability of the structure in the base assembly 200, prevent the water connector 160 from moving in the base assembly 200, and reduce the deformation degree of the water connector 160 during the installation process, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the liquid and further improving the water discharge efficiency of the water tank 132. The assembly efficiency is improved, and the installation efficiency of the base assembly 200 is improved. At the same time, the fixed-size water connector 160 structure can also improve the production and installation efficiency of the water connector 160, and standard parts that meet the size can be used during production, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
[0065] This embodiment provides a base assembly 200. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.
[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the water flow channel 162 includes: a first flow channel 164 and a second flow channel 166, the first flow channel 164 is connected to the water inlet of the water connector 160, and the second flow channel 166 is connected to the water outlet 135 of the water connector 160; the water outlet component 150 is inserted in the first flow channel 164, and a water storage area 220 is provided between the end of the water outlet component 150 and the bottom of the first flow channel 164.
[0067] In this embodiment, the water flow channel 162 includes a first flow channel 164 and a second flow channel 166. The first flow channel 164 is connected to the water inlet of the water connector 160, and the second flow channel 166 is connected to the water outlet 135 of the water connector 160. By setting the first flow channel 164 and the second flow channel 166, the deformation resistance of the water flow channel 162 can be improved, and the flow guidance efficiency of the water connector 160 for the liquid discharged from the water tank 132 can be improved. Since the water outlet component 150 is inserted in the first flow channel 164, and a water storage area 220 is provided between the end of the water outlet component 150 and the bottom of the first flow channel 164, the water storage area 220 can play a buffering role by setting up to avoid the excessive flow rate of the liquid and affect the base component 200.
[0068] This embodiment provides a base assembly 200. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.
[0069] The water inlet end of the second flow channel 166 is in communication with the water storage area 220 .
[0070] In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the second flow channel 166 is connected to the water storage area 220. The liquid at the first flow channel 164 flows to the second flow channel 166 through the water storage area 220, ensuring that the liquid flows smoothly in the flow channel. At the same time, the water storage area 220 can also provide liquid for the second flow channel 166, which can ensure stable delivery of the liquid. The water inlet end of the second flow channel 166 is connected to the water storage area 220, which can buffer the water flow and extend the service life of the base assembly 200.
[0071] This embodiment provides a base assembly 200. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.
[0072] The radial dimension of the first flow channel 164 is greater than the radial dimension of the second flow channel 166 ; and / or the first flow channel 164 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the second flow channel 166 is arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0073] In this embodiment, the radial dimension of the first flow channel 164 is greater than the radial dimension of the second flow channel 166, so the flow cross-section of the first flow channel 164 is greater than the flow cross-section of the second flow channel 166, and the amount of liquid passing through the first flow channel 164 per unit time is greater than that of the second flow channel 166. Since the first flow channel 164 is the water inlet flow channel of the water connector 160, and the second flow channel 166 is the water outlet flow channel of the water connector 160, the size relationship between the first flow channel 164 and the second flow channel 166 can be set to enable the water connector 160 to obtain a larger water inlet volume, thereby allowing more water to enter quickly, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the water flow channel 162. At the same time, the design of the action can also maintain the water pressure in the water flow channel 162. The size of the water inlet pipeline is designed to be larger, which can reduce the resistance of water when passing through the pipeline, thereby making the flow of water smoother, and then the size of the water outlet pipeline is designed to be smaller, and the output speed and pressure of the water flow can be controlled to a certain extent to meet the working requirements of the equipment.
[0074] The first flow channel 164 may be arranged in the vertical direction and the second flow channel 166 may be arranged in the horizontal direction. The gravity of the liquid in the water tank 132 may be used to increase the flow rate of the liquid in the first flow channel 164 to achieve smoother flow of the liquid in the water flow channel 162 .
[0075] This embodiment provides a base assembly 200. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.
[0076] The water inlet of the water connector 160 is provided with a guide surface 230 facing the insertion direction, and the guide surface 230 is inclined from the plane where the water inlet of the water connector 160 is located toward the first flow channel 164 .
[0077] In this embodiment, the water inlet of the water connector 160 is provided with a guide surface 230 facing the insertion direction. The guide surface 230 can be provided to facilitate the installation of the water connector 160 through the water inlet, and can also guide the user to install and fix the water connector 160. The guide surface 230 is inclined from the plane where the water inlet of the water connector 160 is located toward the first flow channel 164, thereby reducing resistance during installation and improving assembly efficiency.

[0079] The present application provides a garment steamer 100, which includes a base assembly 200 as in any one of the above embodiments, so the garment steamer 100 has all the beneficial effects of the base assembly 200 in any one of the above embodiments.
[0080] The garment steamer 100 further includes an ironing body 112, a heating assembly 120 and a water pump 140. The ironing body 112 is provided with a vaporization chamber 240, which can generate steam, so that the garment steamer 100 can iron clothes. The heating assembly 120 is installed on the ironing body 112, and the heating assembly 120 can heat water flowing into the vaporization chamber 240. The mounting seat 210 is a heat insulation cover 114, which is installed on the ironing body 112. The water pump 140 is protected by the heat insulation cover 114 to prevent the heat generated by the heating assembly 120 in the heating state from affecting the water pump 140, thereby reducing the failure rate of the garment steamer 100 and improving the safety of the equipment. The heat insulation cover 114 is away from the heating assembly 120. A first mounting portion 212 and a second mounting portion 214 are provided on one side of the component 120, and the water connector 160 is installed on the first mounting portion 212; the water pump 140 is installed on the second mounting portion 214, and the water inlet of the water pump 140 is connected to the water outlet 135 of the water connector 160, and the water outlet of the water pump 140 is connected to the vaporization chamber 240. By providing the first mounting portion 212 and the second mounting portion 214, the water pump 140 and the water connector 160 can be fixedly connected to improve the assembly efficiency, and it is also convenient for the water pump 140 to drive the liquid through the water inlet port and the water connector 160, thereby improving the smoothness of the liquid entering the vaporization chamber 240 from the water tank 132, reducing the resistance during liquid flow, and improving the water supply efficiency of the hanging iron 100.
[0081] When the garment steamer 100 is working, the water pump 140 is working. Since the water outlet component 150 is connected to the water pump 140 through the water flow channel 162, the water pump 140 can transport the liquid in the water tank 132 from the water tank 132 into the water pump 140, so as to supply liquid for the operation of the garment steamer 100. Since the water outlet of the water pump 140 is connected to the vaporization chamber 240, water will enter the vaporization chamber 240 under the drive of the water pump 140, and the liquid in the vaporization chamber 240 is heated by the heating component 120, and the liquid water is vaporized in the vaporization chamber 240, and then Steam is generated. Since the water outlet assembly 150 of the water tank 132 and the water pump 140 are connected through the water connector 160, and the water connector 160 is connected to the mounting seat 210 through the mounting end 216, the influence of the internal space size of the steamer 100 on the water flow channel 162 is avoided, and the water flow channel 162 is prevented from being squeezed and deformed due to the small internal space of the steamer 100, so that the flow of liquid in the connecting pipeline can be smooth, and the supply stability of the liquid in the steamer 100 is improved, thereby improving the stability of the steamer 100 when working. At the same time, since the fixedly installed water connector 160 has a certain rigidity in structure, the stability of the internal structure of the steamer 100 can be increased, and it is also convenient to connect the connecting pipeline of the water connector 160 with the water pump 140 and the water tank 132, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and the installation efficiency of the steamer 100. At the same time, the fixed-size water connector 160 structure can also improve the production and installation efficiency of the water connector 160, and standard parts that meet the size can be used during production to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
[0082] Specifically, the size of the water joint 160 can be changed to facilitate the production and installation of different parameter models of the garment steamer 100, thereby improving the production efficiency of the garment steamer 100.

In this way, part of the water tank 132 is sunken into the first mounting groove 113 of the ironing body 112, and the space inside the ironing body 112 of the garment steamer 100 is reasonably utilized to optimize the structural volume. By reducing the free space, a placement space for the water tank 132 is provided, and the ironing body 112 and the water tank 132 are alternately placed, which can reduce the overall volume of the garment steamer 100, facilitate the placement and transportation of the garment steamer 100, and facilitate the use of the user, while also improving the flexibility and convenience of the garment steamer 100.

Since the first end of the connecting tube 115 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 140, and the second end of the connecting tube 115 is connected to the vaporization chamber 240, the vaporization chamber 240 can vaporize the liquid and convert the liquid into steam. When the garment steamer 100 is working, the liquid is transported from the water tank 132 to the water pump 140 under the drive of the water pump 140, and then transported to the vaporization chamber 240 by the water pump 140. The heating component 120 is in a heating state, and the heat generated heats the liquid, so that the liquid is converted from liquid to vapor, which can make the clothes contacted by the garment steamer 100 softer and achieve an ironing effect.
[0088] Specifically, a heating boiler can be provided in the garment steamer 100, which can heat the liquid and generate steam to soften the fabric. The heating boiler can be fixed at the lower end of the heat-insulating shell, and the water pump 140 can be horizontally fixed at the upper end of the heat-insulating shell. The two are connected by a horizontally arranged water outlet pipe of the water pump 140. The heat-insulating shell is fixed on the outer shell.

While ensuring the normal circulation of the liquid, the circulation path can be shortened. At the same time, the space occupied by the connecting pipe 115 can be reduced, the internal space layout of the garment steamer 100 can be simplified, and the internal structure of the garment steamer 100 can be further simplified. At the same time, the stability of the internal structure of the garment steamer 100 can also be increased, and it is also convenient to connect the connecting pipe 115 of the water joint 160 with the water pump 140 and the water tank 132, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and the installation efficiency of the garment steamer 100. At the same time, the fixed-size water joint 160 structure can also improve the production and installation efficiency of the water joint 160, and standard parts that meet the size can be used during production to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.

The water outlet component 151 is provided with a first channel 152, and the first channel 152 is connected to the water tank 132 to facilitate the transportation of the liquid. By providing a connecting valve 250 that can close and conduct itself, the flow of the liquid in the first channel 152 can be controlled, thereby achieving the goal of blocking the outflow of the liquid when the box body is separated, avoiding liquid splashing and affecting user use, thereby improving the practicality of the hanging steamer 100. When the water tank 132 is assembled, the first channel 152 can also be connected to facilitate the flow of liquid, simplify the water flow control structure, reduce costs and optimize the use effect of the hanging steamer 100.
