Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steam brushes, in particular to a water pumping structure of a steam device and a steam brush. Background Art

[0002] The handheld steam brush is a small and convenient steam brush for ironing clothes for household use. From top to bottom, it includes a brush head, a handle, a water tank and a water pump. The water pump is connected to the water tank at the bottom through a water pumping pipe. A steam generating assembly is arranged inside the brush head. One side of the brush head is a steam surface, which has a plurality of steam outlet holes. When the water pump is running, water is pumped to the steam generating assembly, and steam is generated after passing through the steam generating assembly and sprayed out through the steam outlet holes for ironing clothes.

[0003] When the handheld steam brush is used, the steam brush is tilted so that the steam surface is flush with the clothes on the platform, and the steam sprayed can be directly directed to the clothes, thereby increasing the steam utilization rate. However, in actual operation, the existing handheld steam brush has the following defects:

[0004] As the water tank is in a tilted state, the lowest water level in the water tank is at the side wall of the water tank. Therefore, in the later stage of ironing, when there is less water left, the remaining water is located on the side wall of the water tank, and the end of the suction pipe is set on the bottom plate of the water tank. The suction pipe with general suction force cannot extract the residual water, resulting in the suction pipe stopping working when there is surplus water in the water tank, resulting in residual water in the water tank.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the existing handheld steam brushes cannot completely drain the water in the water tank has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the existing handheld steam brush cannot completely pump out the residual water in the water tank, the utility model provides a water pumping structure of a steam device and a steam brush.

[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0008] A water pumping structure of a steam device, characterized in that it includes a water pumping pipe and absorbent cotton, wherein the absorbent cotton is arranged along the side wall of the water tank, and the end of the water pumping pipe is in contact with and connected to the absorbent cotton, so that when the water tank tilts toward the side of the absorbent cotton, the water pumping pipe absorbs residual water inside the water tank through the absorbent cotton.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after the water tank is tilted toward the absorbent cotton side, the absorbent cotton is located at the lowest position of the water tank. Even when there is insufficient water inside the water tank, the absorbent cotton can still absorb residual water. The suction pipe absorbs the residual water through the absorbent cotton until the water tank is drained.

[0010] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that the length of the absorbent cotton is equal to the height of the side wall of the water tank.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water tank is lying down, the absorbent cotton is laid from beginning to end along the lowest water level, which can fully absorb the residual water inside the water tank.

[0012] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that the water suction pipe is L-shaped, including a vertical pipe and a horizontal pipe, and the vertical pipe and the absorbent cotton are respectively located on the opposite side walls of the water tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the water pumping pipe extends downward to the bottom of the water tank, and the transverse pipe is arranged along the bottom wall of the water tank.

[0014] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that a dust-proof filter cotton is provided at one end of the water pumping pipe connected to the water outlet of the water tank.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, water enters the water pumping pipe, passes through the dust-proof filter cotton, and filters out impurities and other pollutant particles in the water, preventing the pollutant particles from entering the interior of the steam device, thereby reducing pollution to the pipes inside the steam device and preventing damage to the water pump.

[0016] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that the water-absorbing cotton is a foam sponge.

[0017] The utility model also provides a steam brush, comprising a water tank, wherein the water tank is provided with the water pumping structure of the steam device described in the above scheme, and water absorbing cotton is provided on the side wall of the water tank close to the steam surface.

[0018] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that the top surface of the water tank is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is provided with a water filling port.

[0019] The utility model according to the above scheme is characterized in that it also includes a base, and the water tank is detachably mounted on a side of the base close to the steam surface.

[0020] Furthermore, the base is provided with a water suction port, which is connected to a water pump inside the steam brush through a hose. When the water tank is installed on the base, the water outlet of the water tank is connected to the water suction port.

[0021] The utility model according to the above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The utility model arranges absorbent cotton on the side wall of the water tank of the steam brush. When the steam brush is in use, the water tank is tilted toward the side of the absorbent cotton. The absorbent cotton is located at the lowest position of the water tank and can still absorb residual water when the water inside the water tank is insufficient. The water pump can continue to extract water from the absorbent cotton, so that the steam surface can continuously spray steam until the water tank is drained, thereby solving the problem that the existing handheld steam brush cannot completely drain the residual water in the water tank.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a water extraction structure of a steam device includes a water extraction pipe 2, water absorbent cotton 3 and a water extraction pump. The water extraction pipe 2 and the water absorbent cotton 3 are arranged in a water tank 1, and the water extraction pump is arranged outside the water tank 1. The water extraction pump is connected to the water extraction pipe 2 through a hose 61 to extract water from the water tank 1. The water absorbent cotton 3 is arranged along the side wall of the water tank 1, and the end of the water extraction pipe 2 is in contact with the water absorbent cotton 3. The water absorbent cotton 3 is a water-absorbing sponge that can quickly absorb water and release water when subjected to external force.

[0033] When there is sufficient water inside the water tank 1, the water extraction pipe 2 directly extracts water through the gap, and also extracts water by sucking the water absorbent cotton 3. When there is insufficient water inside the water tank 1, the end of the water extraction pipe 2 cannot be completely immersed in water, and water can only be extracted by sucking the water absorbent cotton 3. Based on this principle, after the water tank 1 is tilted toward the water absorbent cotton 3, the water absorbent cotton 3 is located at the lowest position of the water tank 1 (such as Figure 4 As shown in the water level diagram, even when the water inside the water tank 1 is insufficient, the absorbent cotton 3 can still absorb the residual water, and the suction pipe 2 absorbs the residual water through the absorbent cotton 3 until the water tank 1 is drained.

[0034] In this embodiment, the length of the absorbent cotton 3 is equal to the height of the side wall of the water tank 1, so that after the water tank 1 is tilted, the absorbent cotton 3 can be arranged along the entire lowest water level to fully absorb the residual water.

[0035] The water extraction pipe 2 is L-shaped, and includes a vertical pipe and a horizontal pipe. The vertical pipe and the absorbent cotton 3 are respectively located on the opposite side walls of the water tank 1. Figure 2 For example, the absorbent cotton 3 is on the left inner wall of the water tank 1, and the vertical pipe is on the right inner wall of the water tank 1. The water extraction pipe 2 extends downward to the bottom of the water tank 1, and the horizontal pipe is arranged along the bottom wall of the water tank 1. Specifically, a water outlet 11 is provided above the right inner wall of the water tank 1, and the vertical pipe is connected to the water extraction port 71, and is arranged from top to bottom along the right inner wall, reaching the bottom wall (also called the bottom plate) of the water tank 1 and connected to the horizontal pipe; the horizontal pipe is arranged along the bottom wall of the water tank 1 in the direction of the absorbent cotton, so that the end of the horizontal pipe contacts the absorbent cotton 3.

[0036] One end of the water pumping pipe 2 connected to the water outlet 11 of the water tank 1 is provided with a dust filter cotton 4, which can filter out impurities and other polluting particles, reduce pollution to the pipeline inside the steam device, and prevent damage to the water pump.

[0037] The utility model also provides a steam brush, which includes a brush head 5, a handle 6 and a water tank 1 from top to bottom, and also includes the water pumping structure of the steam device described in the above scheme. A steam generating assembly is provided inside the brush head 5, and one side of the brush head 5 is a steam surface 51, and the steam surface 51 has a plurality of steam outlet holes. The water pumping structure of the steam device includes a water pump, a water pumping pipe 2 and water absorbent cotton 3, the water pump is arranged inside the brush head 5, the water pumping pipe 2 and the water absorbent cotton 3 are arranged in the water tank 1, and a hose 61 is passed through the handle 6, and the water pump is connected to the water pumping pipe 2 in the water tank 1 through the hose 61.

[0038] In this embodiment, the steam brush further comprises a base 7, wherein the base 7 has a sealed cavity inside, and the sealed cavity is used to place the power module of the steam brush. The water extraction port 71 of the base 7 is located on the sealed cavity, and the upper part of the sealed cavity is an open cavity, the top of the open cavity is connected to the inner cavity of the handle 6, and the hose 61 passes through the inner cavity of the handle 6 and enters the open cavity, and then is connected to the water extraction pipe 2 in the water tank 1 through the water extraction port 71 of the base 7.

[0039] The water tank 1 is detachably connected to the base 7. A set of matching sliding grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of the water tank 1 and the base 7. The specific disassembly and assembly method is as follows: the water tank 1 can be installed by sliding from bottom to top on the side of the base 7; the water tank 1 can be disassembled by sliding from top to bottom away from the side of the base 7. A water outlet 11 is provided on the side where the water tank 1 is connected to the base 7. When the water tank 1 is installed on the base 7, the water outlet 11 of the water tank 1 is connected to the water inlet 71 of the base 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the absorbent cotton 3 in the water tank 1 is fixed on the side close to the steam surface 51. The advantage of this design is that, considering that the steam brush is in a tilted state when in use, and its steam surface 51 is facing downward and flush with the clothes on the platform, the side wall of the water tank 1 where the absorbent cotton 3 is located is the lowest water level of the water tank 1, ensuring that when the steam brush is insufficient in water inside the water tank 1, the absorbent cotton 3 can absorb the residual water, and the water pump can continue to extract the water from the absorbent cotton 3, so that the steam surface 51 can continuously spray steam until the water tank 1 is drained.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the water tank 1 is installed on the side of the base 7 close to the steam surface 51, so that the center of gravity of the base 7 with the water tank 1 and the center of gravity of the steam brush head 5 are on the same side of the handle 6. When the steam brush is lying down for use, the center of gravity of the brush head 5, the handle 6, and the base 7 with the water tank 1 are balanced, making the operation smoother.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
