For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] Based on the problem pointed out in the background technology that the rate at which steam from existing clothing care devices enters the care chamber is low, the utility model provides a clothing care device, which aims to arrange a first fan between the steam generator and the care chamber, and by directly connecting the air outlet of the first fan with the care chamber, the first fan can quickly deliver the steam generated by the steam generator into the care chamber, thereby increasing the rate at which steam enters the care chamber, and thereby improving the care efficiency of the clothing care device.

[0040] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the clothing care device of the present utility model.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the clothing care device of the utility model includes a box body 1 and a steam generator 21 and a first fan 22 installed in the box body 1. The box body 1 has a care chamber 11, and the care chamber 11 has a steam outlet 111. The air inlet of the first fan 22 is connected to the steam generator 21, and the air outlet of the first fan 22 is directly connected to the steam outlet 111.

[0042] For example, Figure 1As shown, taking the clothing care device as an example, the clothing care device is arranged in a vertical direction, and a care chamber 11 is provided in the box body 1, and an equipment room 12 is provided below the care chamber 11. A steam generator 21 and a first fan 22 are installed in the equipment room 12, and a steam outlet 111 is provided at the bottom of the care chamber 11. The first fan 22 is located on the right side of the steam generator 21, and an air inlet of the first fan 22 is connected with an air outlet of the steam generator 21, and an air outlet of the first fan 22 is directly connected with the steam outlet 111. By arranging the first fan 22 between the steam generator 21 and the care chamber 11, and by directly connecting the air outlet of the first fan 22 with the care chamber 11, the first fan 22 can quickly deliver the steam generated by the steam generator 21 into the care chamber 11, thereby increasing the rate at which the steam enters the care chamber 11, thereby improving the care efficiency of the clothing care device.

[0043] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the location of the steam outlet 111. For example, a person skilled in the art may also set the steam outlet 111 on the side or top of the nursing chamber 11, etc. Such adjustment and change of the specific location of the steam outlet 111 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and shall be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0044] Of course, the utility model preferably arranges the steam outlet 111 at the bottom of the care chamber 11 , which reduces the travel path of the steam and increases the speed at which the steam enters the care chamber 11 .

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the clothing care device of the present invention also includes a steam duct 23 and a heating component 24. One end of the steam duct 23 is connected to the steam generator 21, and the other end of the steam duct 23 is connected to the air inlet of the first fan 22. The heating component 24 is installed in the steam duct 23.

[0046] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the left end of the steam duct 23 is connected to the air outlet of the steam generator 21, and the right end of the steam duct 23 is connected to the air inlet of the first fan 22. The heating component 24 is installed in the steam duct 23 and can heat the steam passing through the steam duct 23, which is then blown into the care chamber 11 by the first fan 22, thereby improving the care effect of the clothing care equipment.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the type of the heating component 24. For example, those skilled in the art may also set the heating component 24 to be a heating wire, a heating plate or a PTC heater, etc. Such adjustment and change to the specific type of the heating component 24 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the heating component 24 of the present invention is a PTC heater.

[0049] By configuring the heating member 24 as a PTC heater, the heating efficiency is improved and the cost is reduced.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a first temperature sensor 31 and a first humidity sensor 41 are disposed in the steam duct 23 of the utility model.

[0051] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first temperature sensor 31 and the first humidity sensor 41 are both arranged in the steam duct 23 near the first fan 22, and can detect the temperature and humidity of the steam in the steam duct 23 in real time, so as to accurately control the temperature and humidity of the steam entering the nursing chamber 11, effectively improving the nursing effect.

When there is a lack of water in the steam generator 21, the water pump 52 can pump the water in the water tank 51 into the steam generator 21, thereby ensuring that the steam generator 21 has enough water to generate steam, thereby improving the working efficiency of the clothing care device.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the connection method between the water tank 51 and the external water source. For example, a person skilled in the art may connect the water tank 51 directly to an external faucet, or may connect the water tank 51 to an external water source through a water supply pump 52, and so on. Such adjustment and change of the specific connection method between the water tank 51 and the external water source does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and shall be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a water level sensor is provided in the water tank 51 of the present invention.

[0056] Exemplarily, the water level sensor in the water tank 51 can detect the water level in the water tank 51. The water level sensor is communicatively connected to the controller of the clothing care device. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the water tank 51 reaches the highest water level or the lowest water level, it can transmit the water level information to the controller. The controller can issue a water-adding reminder or directly control the water-replenishing device to replenish water into the water tank 51.

[0057] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the type of water level sensor. For example, a person skilled in the art may set the water level sensor to an optical liquid level sensor or a float-type liquid level sensor, etc. Such adjustment and change to the specific type of the water level sensor does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

By arranging the evaporator 63 upstream of the condenser 64, the hot and humid gas in the care chamber 11 first passes through the evaporator 63 before entering the circulating air duct 61. The evaporator 63 can absorb the heat of the hot and humid gas and condense the water vapor in the hot and humid gas to become dry and cold gas. The dry and hot gas is then heated by the condenser 64 to become dry and hot gas, and then blown into the care chamber 11 through the second fan 62, thereby performing cyclic drying care and improving the drying efficiency.

[0064] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a water collecting box 7 for collecting condensed water is provided below the evaporator 63 of the present invention.

[0065] For example, Figure 1 As shown, a water collecting box 7 is installed below the evaporator 63 , and the water collecting box 7 can collect condensed water generated by the humid hot gas passing through the evaporator 63 .

[0066] It should be noted that the condensed water collected in the water collecting box 7 of the utility model can be directly pumped out of the clothing care device by a drainage pump, and the water collecting box 7 can also be connected to the water tank 51 by a water pump to pump the condensed water into the water tank 51 for recycling.

[0067] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a second temperature sensor 32 and a second humidity sensor 42 are disposed in the circulating air duct 61 of the present invention.
