[0026] Example: As attached Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the steam boosting system of the hanging iron includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, a heating element assembly 3, a water inlet 4, thermal insulation silica gel 5, a thermal insulation board 6, a heat dissipation panel 7, a thermostat 8, a thermal insulation upper shell 9, a thermal insulation bottom shell 10, a PCB board 11, a lampshade 12, a fixing bracket 13, a switch button 14, a water pump fixing silica gel 15, an electromagnetic water pump 16, a water tank mounting groove 17, a steam outlet 18, a water outlet 19, a button groove 20 and a water tank 21.

[0027] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 are buckled together to form an inner cavity between them. Figure 5 , 6 As shown, a water tank installation groove 17 is provided at the lower part of the inner shell 2 for installing the water tank 21, and a fixed bracket 13 is provided in the middle of the inner cavity, and the fixed bracket 13 is used to fix the PCB board 11 and the electromagnetic water pump 16. The heating element assembly 3 is installed in the upper part of the inner cavity. Preferably, a layer of heat-insulating upper shell 9 is provided on the top of the heating element assembly 3, and a layer of heat-insulating bottom shell 10 is provided at the bottom of the heating element assembly 3 to achieve efficient heat insulation. A heat-insulating silica gel 5 is sleeved on the steam outlet 18 of the heating element assembly 3, and a heat-insulating board 6 is provided outside the heat-insulating silica gel 5. A heat-dissipating panel 7 is provided outside the heat-insulating board 6. The heat-insulating board 6 and the heat-dissipating panel 7 are buckled and then fixedly connected to the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2. Furthermore, a thermostat 8 is provided at the bottom of the heating element assembly 3, and the thermostat 8 is electrically connected to the PCB board 11, so as to control the heating temperature in the heating element assembly 3.

[0028] The lower end of the electromagnetic water pump 16 extends into the water tank installation groove 17 and communicates with the water tank 21. The water outlet 19 at the upper end of the electromagnetic water pump 16 is connected to the water inlet 4 of the heating element assembly 3 through a pipeline, so that the electromagnetic water pump 16 is directly assembled on the main casing, which greatly reduces the energy loss of the water pump due to the long water path operation, thereby increasing the efficiency of the water pump. The PCB board 11 controls the operation of the heating element assembly 3 and the electromagnetic water pump 16 through electrical connection. Preferably, a key slot 20 is opened on the outer shell 1, and the key slot 20 is used to install the switch button 14.

[0029] Preferably, a plurality of indicator lights are provided on the PCB board 11, a lampshade 12 is installed on the indicator lights, and a reserved hole is provided on the outer shell 1 so that the light emitted by the indicator lights can pass through the outer shell 1. Both ends of the electromagnetic water pump 16 are fixed to the fixing bracket 13 through the water pump fixing silicone 15 to reduce vibration noise. This ensures the stable output of the water pump, while greatly reducing the vibration noise generated by the water pump working, and improving the user experience.

[0030] The working process of the utility model: after the equipment is powered on, the PCB board 11 controls the electromagnetic water pump 16 to work, add water to the heating element assembly 3, and control the heating element assembly 3 to work, so that the water in the heating element assembly 3 is heated to produce high-temperature and high-pressure steam. When the switch button 14 is pressed, the PCB board 11 receives the pressing signal and then controls the heating element assembly 3 to spray steam. The thermostat 8 monitors the temperature in the heating element assembly 3 in real time, and communicates and feedbacks with the PCB board 11. Since the electromagnetic water pump is directly assembled on the main casing, the energy loss of the water pump due to the long water path operation is greatly reduced, thereby increasing the efficiency of the water pump. At the same time, the two ends of the water pump are fixed with soft materials to ensure the stable output of the water pump and greatly reduce the vibration noise generated by the working of the water pump, thereby improving the user experience.
