[0036] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 12 The hanging steamer with a rotatable hanging steaming head comprises a handle 1 and an ironing part 2. A rotating mechanism is provided between the ironing part 2 and the handle 1. The rotating mechanism has a rotating shaft and a limiting assembly. The handle 1 can rotate relative to the ironing part 2 around the rotating shaft in the circumferential direction. The handle 1 and the ironing part 2 can be fixedly positioned with each other in the circumferential direction by the limiting assembly. The ironing part 2 can adjust its relative position with the handle 1 in the circumferential direction according to the user's usage requirements to adapt to different application scenarios, which is more convenient for users to use. At the same time, the limiting assembly can keep the relative position between the ironing part 2 and the handle 1 relatively fixed during use, thereby improving the stability of the user's use of the hanging steamer.

[0038] Furthermore, the handle 1 can rotate relative to the ironing part 2 in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis and form a first use state or a second use state.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in the first use state, the length direction of the ironing part 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the handle 1.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in the second use state, the length direction of the ironing part 2 is parallel to the length direction of the handle 1.

[0041] The ironing part 2 can be adjusted to the first use state or the second use state according to the user's use requirements to adapt to different application scenarios, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0042] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rib 21, a first limiting groove 11 and a second limiting groove 12. The limiting rib 21 is arranged at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft on the ironing part 2, and the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the rotating shaft on the handle 1. The first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are respectively connected and cooperated with the limiting rib 21 in the first use state and the second use state. After the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are connected and cooperated with the limiting rib 21, the stability of the relative position of the handle 1 and the ironing part 2 in the first use state and the second use state can be improved respectively, and the ironing part 2 is not easy to shift relative to the handle 1 during use.

[0043] Furthermore, a guide rib 22 is provided at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft on the ironing part 2, and a guide groove 13 corresponding to the guide rib 22 is provided at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft on the handle 1. The guide groove 13 is arranged along the circumference of the rotating shaft, and the first and tail ends of the guide groove 13 are respectively abutted and cooperated with the guide rib 22 in the first use state and the second use state, thereby improving the stability of the ironing part 2 in the rotational movement process relative to the handle 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the handle 1 includes a gripping portion 14 arranged at the rear section thereof, a control panel 3 is provided on the inner side of the handle 1 at a position corresponding to the gripping portion 14, a display component 4 is provided at the front section of the handle 1, and the display component 4 is electrically connected to the control panel 3. The display component 4 can provide feedback to the user on the usage status of the garment steamer, such as power-on status, temperature status and other information. By arranging the display component 4 at a position relatively far away from the gripping portion 14, the user's line of sight of the display component 4 can be avoided from being blocked when holding the handle 1, thereby making more reasonable use of the spatial position of the handle 1.

[0045] Furthermore, a water tank 5 is provided on the handle 1 at a position corresponding to the control panel 3 and the display assembly 4. The water tank 5 is detachably connected to the handle 1. The water tank 5 can store liquid water. At the same time, the water tank 5 can increase the pressure on the ironing part 2 when the hanging iron is laid flat for use, so that the ironing part 2 can better press the clothes, improve the ironing effect, and relatively reduce the pressure that the user's hand needs to apply to the handle 1.

[0046] Furthermore, a water pump device 6 is provided on the inner side of the handle 1 corresponding to the upper side of the control panel 3. The water pump device 6 is electrically connected to the control panel 3. The water pump device 6 is connected and cooperated with the water tank 5. The shape of the control panel 3 is flat. The water pump device 6 can utilize the space position above the control panel 3 to improve the space utilization efficiency of the handle 1.

[0047] Furthermore, a circuit board bracket 31 is provided in the handle 1 , and the control board 3 is fixedly mounted to the circuit board bracket 31 , thereby improving the stability of the connection between the circuit board and the handle 1 .

[0048] The circuit board bracket 31 is connected to a water pump bracket 61 at a position above the control board 3 , and the water pump device 6 is fixedly installed on the water pump bracket 61 to avoid direct contact between the water pump device 6 and the control board 3 , while improving the stability of the installation of the water pump device 6 .

[0049] Furthermore, a water inlet valve assembly 7 is provided between the handle 1 and the water tank 5 , and the water tank 5 is connected to the water pump device 6 via the water inlet valve assembly 7 .

[0050] Furthermore, the water tank 5 is provided with a ventilation chamber 51, and the handle 1 is provided with a ventilation part 15, which is tightly connected to the ventilation chamber 51. A ventilation channel 151 is provided in the ventilation part 15, and a ventilation hole 511 is provided on the ventilation chamber 51. The horizontal height of the ventilation hole 511 is higher than the horizontal height of the water inlet valve assembly 7. When water is added to the water tank 5, the water level is usually lower than the horizontal height of the ventilation hole 511 to prevent water from entering the ventilation chamber 51.

[0051] The ventilation channel 151 is connected with the interior of the water tank 5 through the ventilation hole 511. A valve ball 8 is provided at one end of the ventilation channel 151 corresponding to the ventilation cavity 51. A spring 9 is provided between the valve ball 8 and the ventilation cavity 51. The air pressure of the ventilation channel 151 can push the valve ball 8 to separate from the valve ball 8 so that the ventilation channel 151 is connected with the ventilation hole 511; or, the spring 9 can push the valve ball 8 to seal the ventilation channel 151 so that the ventilation channel 151 is not connected with the ventilation hole 511.

[0052] As the water level of the water tank 5 drops during use, the air pressure inside the water tank 5 will also drop. If the air pressure inside the water tank 5 is too low, the water supply effect of the water tank 5 will be affected.

[0053] When the internal pressure of the water tank 5 is too low, the pressure difference between the ventilation channel 151 and the internal pressure of the water tank 5 will increase, causing the valve ball 8 to be pushed open by the pressure of the ventilation channel 151, and the gas in the ventilation channel 151 enters the water tank 5, thereby balancing the internal pressure of the water tank 5. After the internal pressure of the water tank 5 is balanced with the pressure of the ventilation channel 151, the valve ball 8 blocks the ventilation channel 151 again under the action of the spring 9.

[0054] The water tank 5 includes a tank shell (not shown in the figure) and a tank cover (not shown in the figure), and the tank shell and the tank cover are fixed by ultrasonic welding. The tank shell and the tank cover are processed separately and then welded to form the water tank 5, which simplifies the molds required for processing the water tank 5 and reduces production costs.

[0055] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention may have other embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all within the scope set by the claims of this application.
