[0054] The existing handheld hanging steamers have a small ironing area, which results in a long average time for ironing a piece of clothing. Therefore, in some handheld hanging steamers, an ironing component is added to increase the ironing area. Specifically, the handheld hanging steamer includes a hanging steamer body and an ironing component, the hanging steamer body is connected to the ironing component, and the steam generated by the hanging steamer body heats the ironing component, and the clothes are ironed through the ironing component. However, when the steam heats the ironing component, the heat loss is large, and the ironing component cannot be fully heated, resulting in a poor ironing effect.

[0055] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hanging ironing machine, which is provided with an ironing component that can generate heat. The heat generated by the ironing component and the steam generated by the hanging ironing component are used together to iron clothes, thereby avoiding steam loss and achieving a good ironing effect.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 5As shown, the hanging ironing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a hanging ironing component 100 and an ironing component 200. The hanging ironing component 100 and the ironing component 200 are detachably connected. The hanging ironing component 100 includes a steam generating unit and a nozzle 110. The steam generating unit provides steam to the nozzle 110. The ironing component 200 includes an ironing seat 210. The ironing seat 210 has a heating area 211 that receives electric energy transmitted by the hanging ironing component 100 and generates heat. The ironing seat 210 has a through hole 212 opposite to the nozzle 110. The steam sprayed from the nozzle 110 is sprayed onto the clothes through the through hole 212. The steam and the heating area 211 are used to iron the clothes together.

[0058] Specifically, the hanging ironing assembly 100 may include a housing 120, a water supply unit (not shown in the figure), a steam generating unit (not shown in the figure) and a nozzle unit 112. The water supply assembly, the steam generating unit and the nozzle unit 112 are located in the housing 120, and the water supply assembly, the steam generating unit and the nozzle unit 112 are connected in sequence. The nozzle unit 112 includes a nozzle 110, which is connected to the housing 120, and a portion of the nozzle 110 extends outside the housing 120. The water supply assembly is used to supply water to the steam generating unit, and the steam generating unit is used to vaporize the water therein into water vapor, which is sprayed out through the nozzle 110 of the nozzle unit 112, thereby ironing the clothes.

[0059] In order to increase the ironing area of ​​the hanging iron, the present application also provides an ironing component 200, which is detachably connected to the hanging ironing component 100. When the ironing component 200 is connected to the hanging ironing component 100, the hanging ironing component 100 transmits electrical energy to the ironing component 200. After the ironing component 200 receives the electrical energy, the heating area 211 on the ironing component 200 heats up, and there is no need for the steam sprayed from the nozzle 110 to heat it. The heating area 211 contacts the clothes to be ironed, and then the clothes in the heating area 211 are ironed through the ironing component 200.

[0060] The garment steamer provided in this embodiment is provided with an ironing assembly 200, which is detachably connected to the garment steamer assembly 100. The water vapor sprayed by the nozzle 110 directly acts on the clothes to iron the clothes, and there is no need to heat the heating area 211 on the ironing assembly 200, thereby avoiding the loss of water vapor. At the same time, the electric energy transmitted from the garment steamer assembly 100 to the ironing assembly 200 causes the heating area 211 on the ironing assembly 200 to heat up, and the clothes in the heating area 211 are ironed by the ironing assembly 200, thereby improving the ironing effect of the garment steamer.

[0061] Please continue to see Figures 1 to 5As shown, in the garment steamer provided in this embodiment, the nozzle 110 is inserted into the through hole 212. The through hole 212 provides an installation space for the garment steaming assembly 100, and by inserting the nozzle 110 into the through hole 212, the ironing assembly 200 and the garment steaming assembly 100 can be detachably connected.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the nozzle 110 has an ironing surface 111 , which is located in the through hole 212 and faces the plane where the heating area 211 is located.

[0063] Specifically, a through hole can be opened on the ironing seat 210, and the nozzle 110 of the hanging ironing assembly 100 is inserted into the through hole 212. The ironing surface 111 of the nozzle 110 is arranged close to the plane where the heating area 211 is located. The through hole 212 provides support for the nozzle 110 and can also provide guidance for the steam sprayed from the nozzle 110. The steam sprayed from the nozzle 110 flows out through the through hole onto the clothes, thereby ironing the clothes.

[0064] The through hole 212 may match the outer wall of the nozzle 110, that is, when the outer wall of the nozzle 110 is circular, the through hole 212 is a circular hole with the same diameter. Alternatively, when the outer wall of the nozzle 110 is rectangular, the through hole 212 may be a rectangular hole, and the length and width of the through hole 212 are respectively equal to the length or width of the outer wall of the nozzle 110, or the length of the through hole 212 is equal to the length of the outer wall of the nozzle 110, or the width of the through hole 212 is equal to the width of the outer wall of the nozzle 110. As long as the two opposite sides of the nozzle 110 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the through hole 212 to clamp the nozzle 110 in the through hole 212, this embodiment is not limited here.

[0065] It should be noted that the ironing surface 111 of the nozzle 110 is a plane. When ironing clothes only through the hanging ironing assembly 100, the ironing surface 111 is in contact with the clothes. The ironing surface 111 has steam holes for steam to flow out. The steam heats the ironing surface 111 at the same time, and the clothes are ironed by the ironing surface 111 and the steam together.

[0066] In some embodiments, the ironing surface 111 is flush with the plane where the heating area 211 is located. That is, the ironing surface 111 and the heating area 211 are located in the same plane, so that when ironing clothes, the ironing surface 111 heated by steam, the steam and the heating area 211 iron the clothes together, thereby increasing the softening speed of the ironed surface of the clothes, thereby improving ironing efficiency.

Figures 3 to 11 As shown, the garment steamer provided in this embodiment further includes a clamping assembly 300, and the housing 120 and the ironing seat 210 are detachably connected via the clamping assembly 300. Specifically, the clamping assembly 300 can be a rotating clamping assembly or an elastic clamping assembly. Below, the structure of the clamping assembly 300 is described by taking the clamping assembly 300 as an elastic clamping assembly.

[0068] In a possible implementation, the snap-on assembly 300 includes an elastic snap 310 and at least two slots 320, the elastic snap 310 is located on one of the housing 120 and the ironing seat 210, and each slot 320 is located on the other of the housing 120 and the ironing seat 210. The elastic snap 310 stretches and snaps into the slot 320 under the action of its elastic force to connect the housing 120 and the ironing seat 210; or it is compressed under the action of external force and disengaged from the slot 320 to disconnect the housing 120 and the ironing seat 210.

[0069] The elastic buckle 310 may be located on the housing 120, and each of the slots 320 may be located on the ironing seat 210, or the elastic buckle 310 may be located on the ironing seat 210, and each of the slots 320 may be located on the housing 120. In the embodiments and drawings of the present application, the elastic buckle 310 is located on the ironing seat 210, and each of the slots 320 is located on the housing 120 for illustration.

[0070] Specifically, the elastic buckle 310 includes at least two elastic clamping arms 311 and at least two elastic members 312. The elastic clamping arms 311 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the clamping slots 320. The elastic members 312 are connected to the elastic clamping arms 311, and the elastic members 312 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the elastic clamping arms 311. That is, one elastic clamping arm 311 corresponds to one elastic member 312 and one clamping slot 320. The elastic member 312 can be a spring or an elastic sleeve. The elastic member 312 provides elastic force for the elastic clamping arm 311, and the elastic clamping arm 311 can be clamped in the clamping slot 320.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the card slot 320 is located on the outer side wall of the casing 120, and the two opposite outer side walls of the casing 120 each have at least one card slot 320, the ironing seat 210 has a accommodating chamber 213, the elastic card arm 311 and the elastic member 312 are located in the accommodating chamber 213, the elastic member 312 is connected between the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 213 and the elastic card arm 311, and the elastic card arm 311 extends into the card slot 320 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 312 and is engaged with the card slot 320, or is disengaged from the card slot 320 under the action of an external force.

[0072] There can be two slots 320, which can be located on two opposite outer walls of the housing 120. Correspondingly, there can be two elastic clamping arms 311, one slot 320 corresponding to one elastic clamping arm 311, so that the ironing assembly 200 can be more stably connected to the hanging ironing assembly 100. The accommodating cavity 213 provides installation space for the elastic clamping arm 311 and the elastic member 312. One end of the elastic member 312 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 213, and the other end of the elastic member 312 is connected to the elastic clamping arm 311. Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the elastic member 312 stretches under the action of its elastic force to push the elastic clamping arm 311 out of the accommodating cavity 213 and into the clamping slot 320 opposite thereto, thereby clamping with the clamping slot 320. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the elastic member 312 can be pushed to be compressed by the elastic clamping arm 311 , at which time the elastic clamping arm 311 withdraws from the clamping slot 320 or the elastic clamping arm 311 retreats into the accommodating cavity 213 , so that the elastic clamping arm 311 is disengaged from the clamping slot 320 .

[0073] In this embodiment, the elastic clamping arm 311 includes a clamping arm body 3111 and a clamping portion 3112 connected to the clamping arm body 3111. The ironing seat 210 has at least two access holes 214 communicating with the accommodating cavity 213 and the through hole 212. The clamping portion 3112 extends into the through hole 212 through the access holes 214 to be clamped with the clamping slot 320. The access holes 214 provide a passage for the clamping portion 3112 to enter and exit the accommodating cavity 213. The clamping portion 3112 can extend into the through hole 212 through the access holes 214 to be clamped with the clamping slot 320, or can be fully or partially retracted into the accommodating cavity 213 through the access holes 214.

The operating portion 3113 provides a force point for the movement of the elastic clamping arm 311. When an external force is applied to the operating portion 3113, the clamping arm body 3111 is driven to move through the operating portion 3113, so that the clamping portion 3112 extends into the through hole 212 through the access hole 214 to be clamped with the clamping slot 320, or the clamping portion 3112 at least partially retreats into the accommodating cavity 213 through the access hole 214 to be disengaged from the clamping slot 320. The operating portion 3113 moves along the extension direction of the first slide groove 215, and the first slide groove 215 provides a guide for the movement of the operating portion 3113.

At this time, the two operating portions 3113 are as shown in FIG. Fig.12 The two operating parts 3113 are in a state of abutment with each other, or there is a gap between the two operating parts 3113. The operating parts 3113 of the two clamping arm bodies 3111 are separated from each other, the two clamping parts 3112 are separated from each other, and the elastic member 312 is compressed to make the clamping parts 3112 disengage from the clamping slot 320. At this time, the two operating parts 3113 are as shown in FIG. Fig.13 The state shown is far away from each other.

[0076] Fig.14 Schematic diagram of the positions of the two elastic clamping arms in the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention in the first state Figure 2 ; Fig.15 Schematic diagram of the positions of the two elastic clamping arms in the second state of the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 . See Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, in another possible implementation, the clamping portion 3112 and the operating portion 3113 connected to the same clamping arm body 3111 move in opposite directions. The operating portions 3113 of the two clamping arm bodies 3111 approach each other, the elastic member 312 is compressed, and the two clamping portions 3112 move away from each other, so that the clamping portions 3112 are separated from the clamping slot 320. At this time, the two operating portions 3113 are as shown in FIG. Fig.15 The two operating parts 3113 are in a mutually abutting state as shown, or there is a gap between the two operating parts 3113. The operating parts 3113 of the two clamping arm bodies 3111 are away from each other, the two clamping parts 3112 are close to each other, and the elastic member 312 stretches so that the clamping parts 3112 are clamped in the clamping slot 320. At this time, the two operating parts 3113 are as shown in FIG. Fig.14 The state shown is far away from each other.

[0077] It is understandable that when the external force applied to the operating portion 3113 is removed, the elastic member 312 will automatically stretch. In other words, it is necessary to apply an external force to the operating portion 3113 to put the elastic member 312 in a compressed state. Figure 5 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 When the moving directions of the clamping part 3112 and the operating part 3113 connected to the same clamping arm body 3111 are the same, and the elastic member 312 is compressed, it is necessary to separate the two operating parts 3113 abutting against each other or the two operating parts 3113 with a gap therebetween so that the two operating parts 3113 are away from each other. In order to facilitate the separation of the two operating parts 3113, it is necessary to increase the gap between the two operating parts 3113, that is, to increase the extension length of the first slide slot 215.

[0078] Figure 5 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 In the embodiment, when the moving directions of the clamping part 3112 and the operating part 3113 connected to the same clamping arm body 3111 are opposite, the elastic member 312 is compressed. At this time, the two operating parts 3113 separated from each other can be directly brought closer to each other. Fig.12 and Fig.13 The illustrated embodiment is easy to operate and compact in structure, and the extension length of the first slide groove 215 is relatively short, thereby ensuring the strength of the ironing seat 210 .

[0079] It should be noted that Figure 12 to Figure 14 In the figure, different clamping arm bodies 3111 are represented by dotted lines and solid lines respectively.

[0080] Next, the implementation method of the clamping portion 3112 and the operating portion 3113 on the same clamping arm body 3111 moving in opposite directions is described.

[0081] Please continue to see Figures 2 to 11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, there are two elastic clamping arms 311, the clamping arm body 3111 includes a first clamping arm 3114 and a second clamping arm 3115 connected to the first clamping arm 3114, the clamping portion 3112 is located on the first clamping arm 3114, and the operating portion 3113 is located on the second clamping arm 3115;

[0082] A second clamping arm 3115 has a second slide groove 3116 extending in the same direction as the first slide groove 215. The first slide groove 215 is located above the second slide groove 3116, and the projection of the second slide groove 3116 on the first slide groove 215 at least partially overlaps with the first slide groove 215. The extension direction of the second slide groove 3116 is consistent with the extension direction of the clamping portion 3112. The operating portion 3113 on the other clamping arm body 3111 extends out of the accommodating cavity 213 through the second slide groove 3116 and the first slide groove 215 in sequence.

[0083] Specifically, the clamping arm body 3111 can be L-shaped, that is, the first clamping arm 3114 and the second clamping arm 3115 are perpendicular, the first clamping arm 3114 can be the long side of the clamping arm body 3111, and its end or near the end has a clamping part 3112, and the second clamping arm 3115 is the short side of the clamping arm body 3111, and its end or near the end has an operating part 3113.

[0084] The first clamping arm body 3111a has a second slide groove 3116, while the second clamping arm body 3111b does not have a second slide groove 3116. The operating portion 3113b of the second clamping arm body 3111b is inserted into the second slide groove 3116 of the first clamping arm body 3111a. The second slide groove 3116 applies a force to the first operating portion 3113a and the second operating portion 3113b, and the first operating portion 3113a and the second operating portion 3113b approach each other under the guidance of the first slide groove 215 and the second slide groove 3116. The two elastic members 312 are compressed, and the first clamping portion 3112a and the second clamping portion 3112b move away from each other, so that the first clamping portion 3112a and the second clamping portion 3112b are respectively separated from the corresponding clamping grooves 320. At this time, the ironing assembly 200 can be removed from the hanging ironing assembly 100, so that the ironing assembly 200 and the hanging ironing assembly 100 are separated.

[0085] The force applied to the first operating part 3113a and the second operating part 3113b is canceled, and the two elastic members 312 stretch. The first operating part 3113a and the second operating part 3113b move away from each other under the guidance of the first slide groove 215 and the second slide groove 3116 and the elastic force of the elastic member 312, and the first clamping part 3112a and the second clamping part 3112b approach each other, so that the first clamping part 3112a and the second clamping part 3112b are respectively clamped in the corresponding clamping grooves 320. At this time, the ironing component 200 is connected to the hanging ironing component 100.

[0086] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 213 has a support column 216, and the clamping portion 3112 has an accommodating groove 3117 for accommodating the elastic member 312. The side of the elastic member 312 can abut against the inner wall of the accommodating groove 3117. One end of the elastic member 312 in the direction of expansion and contraction is sleeved on the support column 216, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the accommodating groove 3117. The elastic member 312 is fixed by the support column 216 and the accommodating groove 3117, and the accommodating groove 3117 plays a guiding role in the expansion and contraction of the elastic member 312, thereby preventing the elastic member 312 from bending.

[0087] Please continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the hanging iron provided in this embodiment, the ironing seat 210 includes a shell body 217 and a shell cover 218 covering the shell body 217, the through hole 212, the accommodating cavity 213, the entrance and exit hole 214, and the first slide groove 215 are located on the shell body 217, the through hole 212 extends to the shell cover 218, and the outer surface of the shell cover 218 forms a heating area 211, and the heating area 211 is arranged around the through hole 212.

[0088] Fig.16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another garment steamer provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] The drawings of this embodiment are described by assuming that the rotating slot 340 is located on the ironing assembly 100 and the engaging member 330 is located in the ironing assembly 200 .

[0090] Specifically, the housing 120 is cylindrical, the rotating slot 340 is located on the outer side wall of the housing 120, the rotating slot 340 is an annular slot, and the rotating slot 340 has two opposite baffles 341, thereby dividing the rotating slot 340 into two symmetrical parts, and the housing 120 also has two notches 121 for the engaging member 330 to enter and exit the rotating slot 340, the engaging member 330 is located on the inner side wall of the through hole 212, the number of the engaging members 330 is two, the two engaging members 330 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two engaging members 330 are arranged opposite to each other. 0 respectively enter the rotating slot 340 through different notches 121, and then rotate the hanging ironing assembly 100 or the ironing assembly 200 until the two engaging members 330 respectively abut against different barriers 341, thereby connecting the hanging ironing assembly 100 and the ironing assembly 200; rotate the hanging ironing assembly 100 or the ironing assembly 200 in the opposite direction until the engaging member 330 rotates to face the notch 121, and the engaging member 330 disengages from the rotating slot 340 from the notch 121, thereby separating the hanging ironing assembly 100 and the ironing assembly 200.

[0091] In some embodiments, the hanging ironing assembly 100 has a first electrode extending toward the ironing assembly 200, and the ironing assembly 200 is provided with a second electrode that can be electrically connected to the first electrode. After the hanging ironing assembly 100 and the ironing assembly 200 are connected, the first electrode and the second motor are electrically conductive by rotation. After the hanging ironing assembly 100 and the ironing assembly 200 are connected, the hanging ironing assembly 100 can transfer electrical energy to the ironing assembly 200 to heat the thick film circuit in the ironing assembly 200. The above-mentioned first electrode and the second motor are electrically conductive by rotation, and the thick film circuit is heated by heating, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0092] Fig.17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the ironing assembly in the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 and Fig.17 As shown, in some embodiments, the ironing component 200 further includes a heating element (not shown in the figure), which is used to heat the heating area 211. After the hanging ironing component 100 and the ironing component 200 are connected, the hanging ironing component 100 transmits electrical energy to provide heat for the heating element.

[0093] The heating element may be an electric heating tube or a PTC heating element.
