[0002] A hanging ironing machine, also known as a hanging iron or a vertical iron, is a machine that can iron clothes and fabrics while hanging; it continuously contacts the clothes and fabrics with the hot steam generated inside to achieve the effect of softening the fiber tissue and flattening the clothes; the hanging ironing machine is easy to install, simple to operate, and easy to iron, and is especially suitable for use in clothing specialty stores, ordinary families, hotels and guesthouses. In order to prevent the water tank from falling off during use, most of the water tanks in the hanging ironing machine are fixed at the bottom of the handle of the hanging ironing machine, and tools are required for disassembly after locking, resulting in a cumbersome and complex disassembly and installation process of the water tank, thus affecting the user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to design a hidden type water tank lock for a hand-held hanging ironing machine. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hidden type water tank lock for a hand-held hanging ironing machine to solve the problem that most of the water tanks in the existing hanging ironing machines are fixed at the bottom of the handle of the hanging ironing machine, and tools are required for disassembly after locking, resulting in a cumbersome and complex disassembly and installation process of the water tank and affecting the user experience.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A hidden type water tank lock for a hand-held hanging ironing machine, comprising a lock box, a water tank, an upper cover, a locking notch, a locking hook, a limiting plate, a limiting platform, a return spring, a circular shell, a limiting frame, a connecting rod and an unlocking member. The water tank is slidably connected in the lock box, the upper cover is fixedly sleeved on the top of the water tank, locking notches are symmetrically opened on one side of the top of the upper cover, the locking hook is slidably connected in the locking notch, the locking hook is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the limiting plate, the limiting platform is arranged on the top of the limiting plate, and the return spring is sleeved on the limiting platform and is sleeved in the circular shell. The circular shell is fixed between the limiting frames, and the limiting plate is slidably connected in the limiting frame. Connecting rods are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the limiting plate, and the unlocking member is arranged at the bottom end of the connecting rod. The unlocking member is slidably connected in a square groove, and the square groove is opened on the base.

[0005] As a further technical solution of the utility model, the base is clamped and connected to the bottom of the lock box, and limiting columns are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base. The limiting columns are slidably connected in the sliding grooves symmetrically opened at the bottom of the lock box.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the utility model, a limiting protrusion is arranged at the bottom end inside the lock box. The limiting protrusion is slidably connected to the bottom of the support frame, and the support frame is arranged at the bottom of the water tank.

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present utility model, a spherical notch is provided in the lock box, and a connecting ball sleeve is slidably connected in the spherical notch.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present utility model, a protective sleeve is provided on the connecting ball sleeve.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present utility model, the bottom of the connecting ball sleeve is slidably connected to the top contact bracket, the top contact bracket is arranged on one side of the top of the base, and the top of the top contact bracket is snap-fitted and fixed in the card slot provided on the lock box.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present utility model, a handle is cooperatively snap-fitted on the top of the lock box, and the handle is fixedly connected to the limit frame.

[0011] A hidden hand-held clothes steamer water tank lock provided by the present utility model has the following advantages: the lock box provides a fixed space for the water tank. During the process of pushing the water tank in, the limit projection is limited by the cooperation of the support frame and the limit projection. When the water tank touches the lock hook, it will push the lock hook to move upward. When the lock hook moves to the locking notch on the upper cover of the top of the water tank, the lock hook is snapped into the locking notch under the action of the return spring to fix the water tank, constituting a hidden clothes steamer water tank locking structure. After use, when the clothes steamer is placed on a plane, the unlocking part will move upward along the square groove, and then the connecting rod is used to push the limit plate to move upward along the limit frame, so that the lock hooks at both ends of the bottom of the limit plate are disengaged from the locking notch, and the fixation of the water tank can be released. While the structure is simple, the installation and disassembly process of the water tank is simplified, thereby improving the user experience. Description of the Drawings
