[0002] In the existing technology, clothing care devices are usually cabinet-type structures, which are large in size and require a lot of space, making them inconvenient to place. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by this invention is that in the prior art, clothing care devices are usually cabinet-type structures, which are large in size and require a lot of space, making them inconvenient to place.

[0004] This invention discloses a foldable garment care device, comprising:

[0005] A base is located at the bottom of the device, and a steam generating module and a drying module are installed inside the base.

[0006] A multi-stage telescopic assembly is fixedly mounted on a base. The multi-stage telescopic assembly includes two or more telescopic parts connected by a telescopic structure. The movement of the telescopic structure causes relative movement between the telescopic parts to adjust the height of the multi-stage telescopic assembly. An air duct and / or steam passage are provided on the multi-stage telescopic assembly.

[0007] A support assembly is connected to the end of the multi-stage telescopic assembly away from the base, and the air ducts and / or steam channels on the multi-stage telescopic assembly are connected to the support assembly. The support assembly is used at least to support and care for clothing.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a hanger assembly with ironing holes provided on the hanger assembly, and the air duct and / or steam channel on the multi-stage telescopic assembly is connected to the ironing holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the support assembly includes an outer component and a hanger assembly. The outer component is connected to the air duct and / or steam channel on the multi-stage telescopic assembly for caring for clothing from the outside to the inside. The hanger assembly is at least used to support clothing. The outer component is fixedly installed at the top of the multi-stage telescopic assembly, and the hanger assembly is vertically and vertically mounted on the base.

[0010] Furthermore, ironing holes are provided on the hanger assembly, and the air ducts and / or steam channels on the multi-stage telescopic assembly are connected to the ironing holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer component includes a moving module and a nursing module. The moving module includes a horizontal rail and a slider. The horizontal rail is fixedly disposed at the top of the multi-stage telescopic component, and the slider is horizontally movable on the horizontal rail. The nursing module is connected to the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the nursing module includes a support part and a nursing plate. The support part is fixedly connected to the slider. The nursing plate is disposed on the support part.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] A foldable clothing care device according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This embodiment provides a foldable clothing care device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes:

[0031] A base 100 is located at the bottom of the device and is used to support other structures. A steam generating module and a drying module are provided inside the base 100.

[0032] A multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 is fixedly mounted on a base 100. The multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 includes two or more telescopic parts, which are connected by a telescopic structure. The movement of the telescopic structure causes the telescopic parts to move relative to each other to adjust the height of the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200. An air duct and / or a steam passage are provided on the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200.

[0033] A support component is provided, which is connected to the end of the multi-stage telescopic component 200 away from the base 100. The air duct and / or steam channel on the multi-stage telescopic component 200 are connected to the support component. The support component is used at least to support and care for clothing.

[0034] With the above configuration, the multi-stage telescopic component 200 can be extended when garment care is needed, increasing the distance between the support component and the base 100, thus facilitating the hanging and care of garments. When garment care is not needed, the multi-stage telescopic component 200 can be retracted and folded, reducing the overall height of the garment care device and its space occupation, thereby significantly reducing the space occupied by the garment care device and making its structure more compact. It should be noted that the air duct is connected to the drying module to provide drying gas, and the steam channel is connected to the steam generating module to provide care steam.

[0035] As an example of the present invention, the support assembly includes a hanger assembly 300, on which ironing holes (not shown in the attached drawings) are provided. The air duct and / or steam channel on the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 are connected to the ironing holes. Through this arrangement, the hanger assembly 300 can provide support and care for the garment, achieving care from the inside out. In specific implementation, some of the ironing holes can be connected to the air duct, and others to the steam channel. Alternatively, a switching device can be used to connect all the ironing holes to the air duct or all to the steam channel. Specifically, during the garment care process, steam can be sprayed from the ironing holes to care for the garment first, and then drying gas can be sprayed from the ironing holes to dry it after care, thereby achieving overall care of the garment from the inside out. This provides excellent care for thicker sleeves, collars, and other difficult-to-care-for areas of the garment.

[0036] The hanger assembly 300 includes a hanger 310 and a connecting part 320. One end of the connecting part 320 is connected to the hanger 310, and the other end is connected to the top end of the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200. It should be noted that the top end of the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 is the end furthest from the base 100. In this case, when clothing needs care, the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 extends, causing the hanger assembly 300 to rise, increasing the distance between the hanger assembly 300 and the base 100, thus creating space to hold the clothing. The clothing is then hung on the hanger 310 for care. After care, the clothing is removed, and the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 retracts and folds, causing the hanger assembly 300 to descend, reducing the distance between the hanger assembly 300 and the base 100. This reduces the overall size of the clothing care device, minimizing its space occupation and facilitating storage when not in use. Specifically, the ironing holes are located on the hanger 310.

[0037] As an example of the present invention, the telescopic structure is one or a combination of several of the following: a gear and rack structure, a lead screw structure, a pulley lifting structure, and a folding telescopic structure. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic structure is a pulley lifting structure. The movement of the pulley drives the telescopic part to move, thereby realizing the extension or contraction of the multi-stage telescopic component 200.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, except for the lowest telescopic portion, the remaining telescopic portions retract at least partially into their lower telescopic portions when the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 contracts. With this arrangement, the upper telescopic portions can be retracted one by one into the lowest telescopic portion, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the space occupied by clothing care devices can be further reduced.

[0039] Optional, such as Figure 1As shown, there are three telescopic parts, from bottom to top: a primary telescopic part 210, a secondary telescopic part 220, and a tertiary telescopic part 230. The lower end of the primary telescopic part 210 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The secondary telescopic part 220 is movably disposed within the primary telescopic part 210, and the tertiary telescopic part 230 is movably disposed within the secondary telescopic part 220. The tertiary telescopic part 230 is fixedly connected to the support assembly. It should be understood that a locking structure is provided between the primary telescopic part 210 and the secondary telescopic part 220, and another locking structure is provided between the secondary telescopic part 220 and the tertiary telescopic part 230. The locking structures are used to lock adjacent telescopic parts when the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 extends, so as to prevent the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 from automatically retracting during clothing care and to control the retraction or extension height of the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200. It should be noted that a locking structure is provided between the upper and lower telescopic parts of two adjacent telescopic sections to lock the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 when it is extended, ensuring support and care effects. Two or more telescopic parts can also be provided, which will not be elaborated further here. When the support assembly only includes the hanger assembly 300, the top end of the three-stage telescopic section 230 is fixedly connected to the hanger assembly 300. When the hanger assembly 300 includes a hanger 310 and a connecting part 320, the three-stage telescopic section 230 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 320.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This embodiment provides a foldable clothing care device, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that:

[0042] The support assembly includes an outer component and a hanger assembly 300. The outer component communicates with the air duct and / or steam channel on the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 for treating clothing from the outside in. The hanger assembly 300 is used to support the clothing. The outer component is fixedly mounted on the top of the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200, and the hanger assembly 300 is vertically and vertically mounted on the base 100. In this configuration, the hanger assembly 300 supports the clothing, and the outer component treats the clothing from the outside in. Due to the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200, it has a working mode when the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 is extended and an idle mode when it is retracted and folded, greatly reducing the space occupied by the clothing care device when it is not in use, and facilitating its storage. In this example, ironing holes may or may not be provided on the hanger assembly 300. The hanger assembly 300 needs to be raised when in use and retracted when not in use. During use, the height of the hanger assembly 300 remains unchanged, and the clothes can be cared for from top to bottom or from bottom to top by raising and lowering the outer component.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outer component includes a moving module 400 and a nursing module 500. The moving module 400 includes a horizontal rail 410 and a slider 420. The horizontal rail 410 is fixedly mounted on the top of the multi-stage telescopic component 200, and the slider 420 is horizontally movable on the horizontal rail 410. The nursing module 500 is connected to the slider 420. With this configuration, during the nursing process, the raising and lowering of the multi-stage telescopic component 200 can drive the raising and lowering of the moving module 400, and further drive the raising and lowering of the nursing module 500. By controlling the raising and lowering height of the multi-stage telescopic component 200, the raising and lowering height of the nursing module 500 can be controlled, facilitating top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top nursing care. Furthermore, due to the slider 420, the distance between the nursing module 500 and the clothing can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of clothing care.

[0044] As a preferred example, the hanger assembly 300 is provided with ironing holes (not shown in the attached drawings), and the air ducts and / or steam channels on the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 are connected to the ironing holes. With this configuration, the garment care device achieves outside-to-inside care through the outer component and inside-to-outside care through the hanger assembly 300, thereby greatly improving the overall garment care efficiency and effect. Specifically, the ironing holes are located on the hanger 310.

[0045] In one example, the care module 500 includes a support portion 510 and a care plate 520. The support portion 510 is fixedly connected to a slider 420. The care plate 520 is disposed on the support portion 510, and an ironing plate 521 is disposed on the care plate 521. Spray nozzles 522 are disposed on the ironing plate 521. The spray nozzles 522 communicate with the air duct and / or steam channel to achieve care of clothing from the outside in.

[0046] In this embodiment, the hanger assembly 300 includes a hanger 310, a connecting part 320, and a height-adjustable hanger support rod 330. One end of the connecting part 320 is connected to the hanger 310, and the other end is connected to the hanger support rod 330. The hanger support rod 330 is fixedly mounted on the base 100 and can be raised and lowered independently relative to the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200. With this configuration, when garment care is required, the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 and the hanger support rod 330 extend simultaneously to provide space for garment support. During garment care, the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 can be raised and lowered to move the care plate 520, while the hanger support rod 330 remains extended, allowing relative movement between the care plate 520 and the garment supported on the hanger 310, thus achieving comprehensive garment care. After garment care is completed, the multi-stage telescopic assembly 200 and the hanger support rod 330 retract and fold simultaneously, reducing the space occupied by the garment care device.

[0047] Optionally, a pivot 530 is provided between the support 510 and the care plate 520, allowing the care plate 520 to rotate relative to the support 510 around the pivot 530. This arrangement allows the orientation of the care plate 520 to be changed to some extent, making it suitable for caring for clothing parts such as cuffs, thereby significantly improving its care effect.

[0048] In one example, there is one nursing module 500 and one slider 420. The nursing plate 520 in one nursing module 500 can be flipped left or right, or the left and right sides of the nursing plate 520 can be cared for independently. Alternatively, there are two nursing modules 500 and two sliders 420, arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The two sliders 420 move synchronously relative to each other along the horizontal rail 410. With one nursing module 500 and one slider 420, only one nursing plate 520 is needed to care for both sides of the garment. When the nursing plate 520 is on the left side of the garment, its nursing surface flips to the right, or the nursing device on its right side is activated. When the nursing plate 520 is on the right side of the garment, its nursing surface flips to the left, or the nursing device on its left side is activated. This ensures smooth garment care and saves the cost of setting up a nursing module 500 and one slider 420. The nursing surface refers to the side with the spray nozzles 522. The synchronized relative movement refers to the two sliders 420 moving synchronously in opposite directions. For example, when one slider 420 moves to the left, the other slider 420 moves synchronously to the right; when one slider 420 moves to the right, the other slider 420 moves synchronously to the left. This setting enables the two care modules 500 to move synchronously closer or further apart, ensuring that both modules maintain an equal distance from the clothing during care and that the distance between them increases synchronously after care is complete, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of the care. It should be noted that when two care modules 500 are provided, they are arranged parallel to each other in the left-right direction.

[0049] It should be noted that all directional and positional terms used in this invention, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," "top," "lower," "tail end," "head end," and "center," are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and connection situations between components in a specific state. They are merely for the convenience of describing the invention and do not require the invention to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously.

[0050] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
