[0008] In order to limit the dial from being easily displaced, the limit grooves are arranged on both sides of the sliding groove, and two corresponding limit members are also provided.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting member is a hook, and the large end of the hook passes through the limiting slot and is locked in the other end of the limiting slot.

[0010] The position of the spring is optimized, and a tube portion is provided on the back of the paddle, the spring is located in the tube portion, and the other end of the spring is against the sliding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring positioning shoulder is provided at the lower end of the sliding groove, a spring positioning groove is provided on the spring positioning shoulder, and one end of the spring is pressed in the spring positioning groove.

[0012] In order to prevent accidental touch, the paddle is hidden in the sliding groove.

[0013] To facilitate the shifting, a friction protrusion is provided on the front side of the shift piece.

[0014] To facilitate gripping and use, a gripping anti-slip portion is provided on the back of the handle.

[0015] When the utility model is in use, the steam brush has two positions: the use position and the storage position. Push the paddle downward, and then rotate the handle close to the main body to the closest position, which is the storage position. Pull the handle away from the main body until the outer end of the paddle is stuck in the paddle positioning groove, which is the use position. Other usage conditions are consistent with the steam brushes in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0016] The benefits of this utility model include: 1. The paddle mechanism locks in place, preventing the steam brush from accidentally folding during use, potentially causing burns or damage to clothing. 2. The foldable design significantly reduces the size of the steam brush, making it easy to carry and store, saving space for travel or daily use. 3. The paddle lock helps protect the steam brush's internal water path components and wiring, extending its service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
