The water inlet of the water pump 5 is connected to the water tank 3, the water outlet of the water pump 5 is connected to the water storage tank 4, the water outlet of the water storage tank 4 is connected to the water inlet at the bottom of the boiler 6, and an air outlet communicated with the air duct 2 is provided at the top of the boiler 6. A heating element is arranged inside the boiler 6. The water pump 5 pumps the water inside the water tank 3 into the water storage tank 4, the water storage tank 4 supplies water to the boiler 6, the heating element inside the boiler 6 heats the water entering the boiler 6, and the heated water vapor enters the air duct 2 through the air outlet and is then sprayed out by the nozzle. In this embodiment of the hanging ironing machine, the boiler 6 and the water tank 3 are separately arranged, and the water in the water tank 3 sequentially enters the boiler 6 through the water storage tank 4. The volume of the water to be heated by the heating element is greatly reduced, the water content of the steam is reduced, the steam humidity is lowered, the heating efficiency is greatly improved, and the working efficiency is improved.
