Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fabric care equipment, and in particular to a clothing care equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for clothing care is becoming more personalized and diversified, and clothing care machines are widely used.

[0003] The clothing care machine may include a steam generating device and a care box, wherein the care box has a care chamber, and the clothing is hung in the care chamber. The steam generated by the steam generating device is introduced into the care chamber, and then the clothing is softened by the high-temperature steam to smooth out the wrinkles on the clothing, thereby achieving a wrinkle removal function for the clothing. In the related art, in order to prevent the liquid water in the steam generating device from splashing along with the high-temperature steam, the steam generating device may include a device body and a delivery pipe, wherein the delivery pipe is connected to the steam outlet of the device body, and then the high-temperature steam generated by the device body is introduced into the bottom of the care chamber through the delivery pipe.

[0004] However, the volume of this steam generating device is relatively large, thus occupying a relatively large space in the nursing box. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a clothing care device, in which the steam generating unit occupies a smaller space and reduces the possibility of liquid in the steam generating unit splashing along with the high-temperature steam.

[0006] The clothing care device provided in the present application comprises a device body and a steam generating unit, wherein the steam generating unit is arranged in the device body, the device body has a clothing care cavity, the steam generating unit comprises a shell and a heating element, the shell has a steam cavity, the heating element is arranged in the steam cavity and is configured to heat the liquid in the steam cavity into high-temperature steam;

[0007] A cavity wall of the steam cavity away from the heating element is provided with a water retaining rib and at least two steam holes, the water retaining rib is arranged around the steam hole, and the steam cavity is connected to the clothing care cavity through the steam hole.

[0008] The clothing care device provided by the present application is provided with a clothing care cavity for placing clothing, a heating element for providing heat energy to heat liquid, a steam cavity for accommodating liquid, and the liquid is heated in the steam cavity to form high-temperature steam, a steam hole is provided for directly connecting the steam cavity and the clothing care cavity, so that the high-temperature steam in the steam cavity is sprayed toward the clothing care cavity through the steam hole, and the volume of the steam generating unit can be reduced, thereby reducing the space of the clothing care device occupied by the steam generating unit, and the water retaining rib is provided to prevent the liquid in the steam cavity from being sprayed from the steam hole together with the high-temperature steam, and the water retaining rib has a good gas-liquid separation effect, thereby improving the ironing effect of the clothing care device. Therefore, the steam generating unit in the clothing care device provided by the present application is more compact in structure and has a better ironing effect.

[0009] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided by the present application, the water retaining rib includes a first retaining rib, the first retaining rib is connected to an end of the steam hole facing the steam chamber, and is arranged around the circumference of the steam hole.

[0010] In this way, when the liquid in the steam chamber flows along with the high-temperature steam to the end of the steam hole facing the steam chamber, the first rib can block the liquid from continuing to flow upward, thereby preventing the liquid from spraying from the steam hole to the clothes in the clothing care chamber along with the steam, thereby preventing the liquid from wetting the clothes, thereby improving the ironing effect of the steam generating unit.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the clothing care device provided in the present application has more than two steam holes, the water retaining rib also includes a second water retaining rib, the second water retaining rib is arranged around the circumference of the steam chamber, and the more than two steam holes are jointly arranged on the outer peripheral side of the second water retaining rib.

[0012] In this way, when the liquid flows along the high-temperature steam toward the cavity wall of the steam cavity facing the heating element, part of the liquid will be blocked by the second rib, and part of the liquid will be subject to flow resistance and flow back to below the liquid level of the steam cavity under the action of gravity.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the clothing care device provided in the present application, the steam chamber includes a first steam chamber and a second steam chamber, the heating element is located in the first steam chamber, the first steam chamber and the second steam chamber are connected by a connecting port, and the projection of the connecting port on the cavity wall of the steam chamber away from the heating element is located within the second baffle.

[0014] In this way, the end of the first steam chamber close to the second steam chamber is gradually narrowed to prevent more liquid in the first steam chamber from entering the second steam chamber, and the projection of the connecting port on the cavity wall of the steam chamber away from the heating element is located within the second baffle, so that the second baffle can effectively block the liquid flowing out of the connecting port.

[0015] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided in the present application, an extension length of the second steam chamber along the extension direction of the steam hole is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0016] In this way, the distance between the steam holes of the connecting port can be effectively extended. When the liquid flows from the first steam chamber to the second steam chamber along with the high-temperature steam, since the height of the second steam chamber is relatively large, most of the liquid can fall to the bottom of the second steam chamber under the action of gravity due to insufficient kinetic energy, and then flow back to below the liquid surface of the first steam chamber, thereby effectively preventing excessive liquid from being ejected from the steam hole along with the high-temperature steam.

[0017] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided by the present application, the peripheral wall of the second steam chamber has a first guide wall, and the first guide wall is arranged obliquely relative to the extension direction of the steam hole.

[0018] In this way, the first guide wall can guide the liquid blocked by the first baffle to flow back to the bottom of the second steam chamber, thereby effectively separating the high-temperature steam and the liquid, so that the high-temperature steam continues to flow toward the clothing care chamber, while the separated liquid returns to the first steam chamber to be heated to form high-temperature steam.

[0019] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided in the present application, a side of the first guide wall away from the first steam chamber is inclined toward the steam hole relative to a side close to the first steam chamber.

[0020] In this way, the end of the second steam chamber close to the first steam chamber is gradually tightened toward the end away from the first steam chamber, so that the second steam chamber has a better water vapor separation effect.

[0021] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided in the present application, the bottom wall of the second steam chamber facing away from the steam diffusion portion has a second guide wall, and the second guide wall is inclined relative to the end surface of the connecting port.

[0022] In this way, when the liquid flows along the first guide wall to the bottom of the second steam chamber, it can continue to flow along the second guide wall, so that the liquid flows back to the first steam chamber from the connecting port, thereby effectively separating the liquid and the high-temperature steam.

[0023] In a possible implementation, in the clothing care device provided in the present application, a side of the second guide wall away from the connecting port is inclined toward the steam hole relative to a side close to the connecting port.

[0024] In this way, the second guide wall can be tilted toward the connecting port as a whole, so that the liquid at the bottom of the second steam chamber can be smoothly returned to the first steam chamber, and the returned liquid can be heated by the heating element in the first steam chamber to form high-temperature steam.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the clothing care device provided in the present application also includes a water tank, the shell has a water inlet, the water inlet is connected to one end of the steam chamber close to the heating element, the water tank is connected to the water inlet, and is constructed to provide liquid to the first steam chamber.

[0026] In this way, when the liquid in the first steam chamber is insufficient, the water tank provides liquid to the first steam chamber through the water inlet, thereby allowing the first steam chamber to continuously generate high-temperature steam.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the clothing care device provided by the present application has a shell including a diffusion cover and a seat.

[0028] The diffusion cover includes a first connection part and a steam diffusion part, the steam hole and the water retaining rib are located in the steam diffusion part, the first connection part is connected to the outer peripheral side of the steam diffusion part, the seat body has a second connection part, and the first connection part is connected to the second connection part through a fastener so that the diffusion cover and the seat body form a steam chamber together.

[0029] In this way, the shell is divided into two parts, namely, a diffusion cover and a seat body, which is conducive to the processing and molding of the shell, so as to form a steam chamber and a water retaining rib in the shell, and form a steam hole on the shell.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the clothing care device provided in the present application comprises a base including a main body and a main body cover, the second connecting portion is located on the main body, the main body cover is sealingly connected to one end of the main body facing away from the diffusion cover, and the heating element is connected to the main body cover.

[0031] In this way, the seat body is divided into two parts, the main body and the main body cover, so that the end of the main body away from the diffusion cover has an opening. The heating element can be installed on the main body cover first, and then the main body cover can be sealed and connected to the end of the main body away from the diffusion cover to close the opening.

The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0044] The terms "first", "second", "third" (if any) in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, for example.

[0045] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or display comprising a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0046] The clothing care machine may include a steam generating device and a care box, wherein the care box has a care chamber, and the clothing is hung in the care chamber. The steam generated by the steam generating device is introduced into the care chamber, and then the clothing is softened by the high-temperature steam to smooth out the wrinkles on the clothing, thereby achieving a wrinkle removal function for the clothing. In the related art, in order to prevent the liquid water in the steam generating device from splashing along with the high-temperature steam, the steam generating device may include a device body and a delivery pipe, wherein the delivery pipe is connected to the steam outlet of the device body, and then the high-temperature steam generated by the device body is introduced into the bottom of the care chamber through the delivery pipe. However, since the delivery pipe needs to occupy a certain space, the volume of the steam generating device is large, and thus a large space of the care box is occupied.

[0047] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothing care device, which generates high-temperature steam by setting a steam generating unit to soften and iron clothes. The steam generating unit integrates the steam hole on the shell so that the high-temperature steam in the steam chamber directly enters the clothing care chamber, thereby eliminating the intermediate connecting pipe, so that the overall structure of the steam generating unit is more compact, thereby reducing the space occupied by the steam generating unit, and water retaining ribs are also provided on the cavity wall of the steam chamber to prevent liquid from spraying out of the steam hole together with the high-temperature steam through the water retaining ribs, thereby improving the ironing effect of the clothing care device.

[0048] The specific implementation of the clothing care device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothing care device provided in the present application includes a device body 100 and a steam generating unit 200, the steam generating unit 200 is arranged on the device body 100, the device body 100 has a clothing care cavity 110, the steam generating unit 200 includes a shell 210 and a heating element 220, the shell 210 has a steam cavity 211, the heating element 220 is arranged in the steam cavity 211, and is constructed to heat the liquid in the steam cavity 211 to form high-temperature steam.

[0050] The cavity wall of the steam cavity 211 at one end away from the heating element 220 is provided with a water retaining rib 212 and at least two steam holes 213 . The water retaining rib 212 is arranged around the steam hole 213 . The steam cavity 211 is connected to the clothing care cavity 110 through the steam hole 213 .

[0051] In the present application, the clothing care cavity 110 is used to hang or place clothing so that the clothing can be ironed, purified, deodorized, etc. in the clothing care cavity 110. The steam ironing unit is used to provide high-temperature steam to the clothing to soften the clothing and smooth out the wrinkles on the clothing.

[0052] Specifically, the steam generating unit 200 may include a shell 210 having a steam chamber 211 and a steam hole 213. The steam chamber 211 is used to contain liquid and generate high-temperature steam in the steam chamber 211 by heating the liquid. The high-temperature steam is then ejected through the steam hole 213 connected between the steam chamber 211 and the care chamber, thereby allowing the high-temperature steam to contact the clothing.

[0053] The steam generating unit 200 may further include a heating element 220 . Since the clothing care device is placed vertically and the steam hole 213 is connected to the bottom of the clothing care cavity 110 , the heating element 220 may be disposed at the bottom of the steam cavity 211 to heat the liquid in the steam cavity 211 .

[0054] Since the steam hole 213 is directly connected between the steam chamber 211 and the care chamber, the liquid level of the steam chamber 211 is close to the steam hole 213, and the liquid may be directly sprayed onto the clothes along with the high-temperature steam. In order to reduce the possibility of liquid splashing along with the high-temperature steam, the cavity wall of the steam chamber 211 at the end away from the heating element 220 is also provided with a water retaining rib 212. The water retaining rib 212 can be arranged around the steam hole 213. For example, there are multiple steam holes 213, and the multiple steam holes 213 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the steam chamber 211. The water retaining rib 212 can be arranged around the inner circumference of the multiple steam holes 213, or the water retaining rib 212 is arranged around the outer circumference of a single steam hole 213.

[0055] With such arrangement, the water retaining rib 212 can inhibit the upward flow of liquid, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid being ejected from the steam hole 213 along with the high-temperature steam, so that the clothes will not be wetted, thereby effectively improving the ironing effect of the clothing care device.

[0056] The clothing care device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a device body 100 and a steam generating unit 200, wherein the device body 100 includes a clothing care cavity 110, and the steam generating unit 200 includes a shell 210 and a heating element 220, wherein the shell 210 includes a steam cavity 211, a steam hole 213 and a water retaining rib 212. The clothing care cavity 110 is provided for placing clothing, the heating element 220 is used to provide heat energy to heat liquid, the steam cavity 211 is provided for accommodating liquid, and the liquid is heated in the steam cavity 211 to form high-temperature steam, the steam hole 213 is provided for directly connecting the steam cavity 211 and the clothing care cavity 110, so that the high-temperature steam in the steam cavity 211 is sprayed toward the clothing care cavity 110 through the steam hole 213, and the volume of the steam generating unit 200 can be reduced, thereby reducing the clothing care device space occupied by the steam generating unit 200, and the water retaining rib 212 is provided to prevent the liquid in the steam cavity 211 from being sprayed from the steam hole 213 together with the high-temperature steam, thereby improving the ironing effect of the clothing care device. Therefore, the steam generating unit 200 in the clothing care device provided in the embodiment of the present application has a compact structure and a better ironing effect.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a possible implementation, the water retaining rib 212 includes a first retaining rib 2121 , which is connected to one end of the steam hole 213 facing the steam chamber 211 and is arranged along the circumference of the steam hole 213 .

[0058] In this way, when the liquid in the steam chamber 211 flows along with the high-temperature steam to the end of the steam hole 213 facing the steam chamber 211, the first blocking rib 2121 can block the liquid from continuing to flow upward, thereby preventing the liquid from spraying from the steam hole 213 to the clothes in the clothing care chamber 110 along with the steam, thereby preventing the liquid from wetting the clothes, thereby improving the ironing effect of the steam generating unit 200.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of steam holes 213 is more than two, the water retaining rib 212 also includes a second retaining rib 2122, the second retaining rib 2122 is arranged around the circumference of the steam chamber 211, and more than two steam holes 213 are jointly arranged on the outer peripheral side of the second retaining rib 2122.

[0060] For example, there are five steam holes 213, and the five steam holes 213 are arranged in a circle along the circumference of the steam chamber 211 to form an annular steam hole 213 group. The second baffle rib 2122 is arranged around the inner circumference of the steam hole 213 group, and a water retaining space is formed inside the second baffle rib 2122. In this way, when the liquid flows along with the high-temperature steam toward the cavity wall of the steam chamber 211 facing one end of the heating element 220, part of the liquid will be blocked by the second baffle rib 2122, and part of the liquid will be subject to flow resistance and flow back to below the liquid level of the steam chamber 211 under the action of gravity.

[0061] With such arrangement, the second blocking rib 2122 can provide flow resistance for the liquid when the liquid flows with the high-temperature steam, thereby preventing the liquid from being ejected from the steam hole 213 together with the high-temperature steam.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation, the steam chamber 211 includes a first steam chamber 2111 and a second steam chamber 2112, the heating element 220 is located in the first steam chamber 2111, the first steam chamber 2111 and the second steam chamber 2112 are connected via a connecting port 2113, and the projection of the connecting port 2113 on the cavity wall of the steam chamber 211 away from the heating element 220 is located within the second retaining rib 2122.

[0063] That is to say, the steam chamber 211 may include two upper and lower chambers, the first steam chamber 2111 is located below the second steam chamber 2112, the liquid and the heating element 220 are located in the first steam chamber 2111, the heating element 220 heats the liquid in the first steam chamber 2111, and the first steam chamber 2111 is gradually narrowed at one end close to the second steam chamber 2112 to prevent more liquid in the first steam chamber 2111 from entering the second steam chamber 2112, and the projection of the cavity wall of the connecting port 2113 at the end of the steam chamber 2111 away from the heating element 220 is located in the second baffle 2122, so that the second baffle 2122 can effectively block the liquid flowing out of the connecting port 2113.

[0064] In a possible implementation, an extension length of the second steam chamber 2112 along an extension direction of the steam hole 213 is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0065] Such a configuration can effectively extend the distance between the steam holes 213 of the connecting port 2113. When the liquid flows from the first steam chamber 2111 to the second steam chamber 2112 along with the high-temperature steam, since the second steam chamber 2112 has a greater height, most of the liquid can fall back to the bottom of the second steam chamber 2112 under the action of gravity due to insufficient kinetic energy, and then flow back to below the liquid surface of the first steam chamber 2111, thereby effectively preventing excessive liquid from being ejected from the steam hole 213 along with the high-temperature steam.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the second steam chamber 2112 has a first guide wall 2111 a , and the first guide wall 2111 a is inclined relative to the extension direction of the steam hole 213 .

[0067] Exemplarily, the side of the first guide wall 2111a away from the first steam chamber 2111 is inclined toward the steam hole 213 relative to the side close to the first steam chamber 2111, or the side of the first guide wall 2111a close to the first steam chamber 2111 is inclined toward the steam hole 213 relative to the side away from the first steam chamber 2111.

[0068] In this way, the first guide wall 2111a can guide the liquid blocked by the first baffle 2121 to flow back to the bottom of the second steam chamber 2112, thereby effectively separating the high-temperature steam and the liquid, so that the high-temperature steam continues to flow toward the clothing care chamber 110, and the separated liquid returns to the first steam chamber 2111 to be heated to form high-temperature steam.

[0069] In some embodiments, a side of the first guide wall 2111 a away from the first steam chamber 2111 is inclined toward the steam hole 213 relative to a side close to the first steam chamber 2111 .

[0070] In this way, the end of the second steam chamber 2112 close to the first steam chamber 2111 is gradually tightened toward the end away from the first steam chamber 2111, so that the second steam chamber 2112 has a better water vapor separation effect.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation, the bottom wall of the second steam chamber 2112 facing away from the steam diffusion portion 2152 has a second guide wall 2111 b , and the second guide wall 2111 b is inclined relative to the end surface of the communication port 2113 .

[0072] In this way, when the liquid flows along the first guide wall 2111a to the bottom of the second steam chamber 2112, it can continue to flow along the second guide wall 2111b, so that the liquid can flow back from the connecting port 2113 to the first steam chamber 2111, thereby effectively separating the liquid and the high-temperature steam, and at the same time allowing the liquid in the steam chamber 211 to be fully heated to form high-temperature steam, thereby improving the vaporization efficiency of the steam generating unit 200.

[0073] In some embodiments, a side of the second guide wall 2111 b away from the communication port 2113 is inclined toward the steam hole 213 relative to a side close to the communication port 2113 .

[0074] That is to say, the second guide wall 2111b is tilted toward the connecting port 2113 as a whole, so that the liquid at the bottom of the second steam chamber 2112 can flow smoothly back to the first steam chamber 2111, and the returned liquid is heated by the heating element 220 in the first steam chamber 2111 to form high-temperature steam.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation, the clothing care device provided in the present application also includes a water tank 300, the shell 210 has a water inlet 214, the water inlet 214 is connected to one end of the steam chamber 211 close to the heating element 220, the water tank 300 is connected to the water inlet 214, and is constructed to provide liquid to the first steam chamber 2111.

[0076] It is understandable that although the first steam chamber 2111 can accommodate some liquid, its capacity is limited. Therefore, the clothing care device can also set up a water tank 300 to store liquid, and when the liquid in the first steam chamber 2111 is insufficient, liquid is provided to the first steam chamber 2111 through the water inlet 214, so that the first steam chamber 2111 continuously generates high-temperature steam.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific implementation, the shell 210 includes a diffusion cover 215 and a seat body 216; the diffusion cover 215 includes a first connecting portion 2151 and a steam diffusion portion 2152, the steam hole 213 and the water retaining rib 212 are located in the steam diffusion portion 2152, the first connecting portion 2151 is connected to the outer peripheral side of the steam diffusion portion 2152, the seat body 216 has a second connecting portion 2161, and the first connecting portion 2151 is connected to the second connecting portion 2161 by a fastener, so that the diffusion cover 215 and the seat body 216 form a steam chamber 211 together.

[0078] Thus, the shell 210 is divided into two parts, namely, the diffusion cover 215 and the seat body 216 , which is beneficial to the processing and forming of the shell 210 , so as to form a steam chamber 211 and a water retaining rib 212 in the shell 210 , and form a steam hole 213 on the shell 210 .

[0079] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation, the seat body 216 includes a main body 2162 and a main body cover 2163, the second connecting portion 2161 is located on the main body 2162, the main body cover 2163 is sealed and connected to one end of the main body 2162 away from the diffusion cover 215, and the heating element 220 is connected to the main body cover 2163.

[0080] It should be understood that since the steam chamber 211 includes the first steam chamber 2111 and the second steam chamber 2112, and the connecting port 2113 narrows the channel for the high-temperature steam of the second steam chamber 2112 to enter the first steam chamber 2111, which makes it inconvenient to install the heating element 220 in the first steam chamber 2111. Therefore, the seat 216 is divided into two parts: a main body 2162 and a main body cover 2163, so that the end of the main body 2162 away from the diffusion cover 215 can have an opening, and the heating element 220 can be installed on the main body cover 2163 first, and then the main body cover 2163 can be sealed and connected to the end of the main body 2162 away from the diffusion cover 215 to close the opening, thereby forming a steam chamber 211 in the shell 210 that is closed except for the steam hole 213, thereby preventing leakage of high-temperature steam or liquid.
