Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a garment steamer. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the relevant technology, the hanging steamer can iron clothes. The hanging steamer can support clothes through the support plate, and the bracket can support the support plate so that the support plate can rotate relative to the bracket. By rotating at different angles, ironing at different angles can be achieved. In the process of ironing with the hanging steamer, the support plate will be subjected to downward pressure, and the pressure will be transmitted to the connection structure between the support plate and the bracket. When the pressure is too large, it is easy to cause the connection structure between the support plate and the bracket to detach, thereby affecting the stability of the hanging steamer. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides a garment steamer.

[0005] In view of this, the first aspect of the present invention provides a garment steamer, comprising a support member, a bracket, and a second limiting member. The support member comprises a support plate and a first limiting member, wherein the support plate is capable of rotating relative to the bracket; the second limiting member is capable of moving relative to the bracket; one of the first limiting member and the second limiting member is provided with a limiting groove, and the other is provided with a limiting portion, wherein when the limiting portion is located within the limiting groove, the support plate is fixed relative to the bracket; the axis of rotation of the support plate relative to the bracket is projected onto the surface of the support plate as a first projection line, the surface of the support plate includes a first edge, and the distance from the first edge to the first projection line is a first distance L1; the width of at least the portion of the limiting portion located within the limiting groove is a first width W1; the first distance L1 and the first width W1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50.

[0006] In this technical solution, the hanging steamer includes a support member, a bracket and a second limit member. The support member includes a support plate and a first limit member. The support plate can rotate relative to the bracket so that the support member can rotate relative to the bracket, and the bracket can support the support member. The second limit member can move relative to the bracket to achieve assembly between the second limit member and the bracket. One of the first limit member and the second limit member is provided with a limiting groove, and the other is provided with a limiting portion to achieve the arrangement of the limiting groove and the limiting portion. When the limiting portion is located in the limiting groove, the support plate is fixed relative to the bracket, so that the support plate cannot rotate relative to the bracket and can be fixed on the bracket, which is convenient for users to use the support plate to support clothes, and also improves the overall structural strength, making it convenient for users to handle clothes. The projection of the axis of rotation of the support plate relative to the bracket on the surface of the support plate is a first projection line. The surface of the support plate includes a first edge, and the distance from the first edge to the first projection line is a first distance L1. The width of at least a portion of the limiting portion located within the limiting groove is a first width W1. The first distance L1 and the first width W1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50, thereby enabling adjustment of the width of the limiting portion. By setting the first width W1 between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50, after the support plate is fixedly connected to the bracket, the strength of the support plate is ensured during ironing, the stability of the support plate after connection to the bracket is improved, and the support plate is prevented from detaching from the bracket during use. Furthermore, shaking or bending of the support plate is prevented, thereby solving the problem of shaking or bending deformation of the support plate when rotating at different angles for ironing. This also avoids the problem of the second limiting member being too bulky due to an excessive first width W1, and the problem of the support plate having poor support performance due to a too small first width W1.

[0007] In addition, the garment steamer in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the height of the limiting portion is a first height H1; the first distance L1 and the first height H1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤H1≤L1 / 50.

[0009] In this technical solution, the height of the position-limiting portion is a first height H1; the first distance L1 and the first height H1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤H1≤L1 / 50, thereby enabling adjustment of the position-limiting portion's height. By setting the first height H1 between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50, the support plate is secured to the bracket to ensure strength during ironing, preventing the support plate from shaking or bending. This solves the problem of the rotatable support plate of a garment steamer shaking or bending under stress when used at different angles for ironing, avoids the second position-limiting member being overly bulky due to an excessive first height H1, and avoids the support plate's poor support performance due to a too small first height H1.

[0010] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the first height H1 is in direct proportion to the first distance L1.

[0011] In this technical solution, the first height H1 is directly proportional to the first distance L1. The larger the first distance L1, the greater the rotational torque that the first edge may be subjected to under the same pressure. The larger the first height H1, the stronger the engagement strength between the limiting portion and the limiting groove. This avoids the support plate shaking and deformation, the limiting portion breaking, and the support plate slipping caused by the rotational torque applied to the first edge, thereby ensuring the strength of the support plate and preventing the support plate from shaking or bending.

[0012] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the surface of the support plate also includes a second edge, the second edge and the first edge are respectively located on both sides of the first projection line, and the distance from the second edge to the first projection line is the second distance L2; the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 1.5.

[0013] In this technical solution, the surface of the support plate also includes a second edge, which is located on either side of the first projection line, and the distance from the second edge to the first projection line is a second distance L2. The ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 1.5, thereby enabling adjustment of the size of the support plate. The location of the first axis is the rotation center of the support plate during rotation. By setting the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 to 0.7 to 1.5, the corresponding end length is prevented from deviating too much from the rotation center, reducing the ironing load torque and making the support plate less likely to shake, bend, or deform when ironing at different angles, thereby improving the support performance of the support plate.

[0014] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the second distance L2 is smaller than the first distance L1, and the first width W1 is in direct proportion to the second distance L2.

[0015] In this technical solution, the second distance L2 is smaller than the first distance L1, and the first width W1 is directly proportional to the second distance L2. The larger the first width W1, the larger the second distance L2. Furthermore, the larger the first width W1, the stronger the stopper, preventing the support plate from shaking and deforming, breaking the stopper, or slipping due to the rotational torque applied to the second edge. This ensures the strength of the support plate and prevents it from shaking or bending.

[0016] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the second limiting member includes a main body, a limiting portion is arranged on the main body, the limiting portion is provided with a stop surface, and the stop surface is located on the side of the limiting portion away from the main body; when the limiting portion is located in the limiting groove, the stop surface abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove, and there is a first gap between the first limiting member and the main body.

[0017] In this technical solution, the second limiting member includes a main body, and the limiting portion is arranged on the main body to realize the arrangement of the limiting portion. The limiting portion is provided with a stop surface, and the stop surface is located on the side of the limiting portion away from the main body to realize the arrangement of the stop surface. When the limiting portion is located in the limiting groove, the stop surface abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove, and a first gap is provided between the first limiting member and the main body, that is, after the limiting groove is completely inserted into the limiting groove, there is no contact between the first limiting member and the main body, so that when the limiting groove is inserted into the limiting groove, the main body will not interfere with the limiting portion, so that the limiting portion can be more fully engaged in the limiting groove, thereby increasing the contact area between the limiting portion and the inner wall of the limiting groove, and further improving stability.

[0018] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the limiting portion is provided with a limiting surface, and the limiting surface extends from the stop surface toward the main body along the movement direction of the main body.

[0019] In this technical solution, the limiting portion is provided with a limiting surface, which extends from the stop surface toward the main body along the direction of movement of the main body, thereby realizing the arrangement of the limiting surface. By providing the limiting surface on the limiting portion, the side wall of the limiting portion is parallel to the direction of the main body. When the limiting portion is located in the limiting groove, the lateral pressure applied by the limiting groove to the limiting portion is perpendicular to the side surface of the limiting portion and the direction of movement, and no force component is generated in the direction of movement. As a result, the limiting portion will not loosen up and down, thereby ensuring that the support plate is locked more firmly and does not shake.

[0020] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the limiting portion is provided with a guide surface, which extends from the stop surface toward the limiting surface and is inclined relative to the movement direction of the main body.

[0021] In this technical solution, the limiting portion is provided with a guide surface, which extends from the stop surface toward the limiting surface and is inclined relative to the direction of movement of the body to achieve the arrangement of the guide surface. By providing the guide surface on the limiting portion, that is, providing a chamfer at one end of the limiting portion near the limiting groove, the limiting portion improves the convenience of movement when entering and leaving the limiting groove, and facilitates the insertion and guidance of the limiting portion with the limiting groove when moving up and down.

[0022] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the first width W1 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.

[0023] In this technical solution, the first width W1 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm to achieve adjustment of the size of the limiter. By setting the first width W1 to 4 mm to 8 mm, after the support plate is fixedly connected to the bracket, the support plate's strength during ironing can be ensured, preventing the support plate from shaking or bending. This solves the problem of the rotatable support plate of a garment steamer shaking or bending under stress when ironing at different angles. It also avoids the situation where the second limiter is too bulky due to an excessive first width W1, and the situation where the support plate's support is poorly supported due to a too small first width W1.

[0024] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the third edge of the first limit member on one side close to the second limit member extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limit grooves, and the multiple limit grooves are arranged along the third edge, and the distance between two adjacent limit grooves in the multiple limit grooves is the third distance L3, and the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4, and less than or equal to 1.2.

[0025] In this technical solution, the third edge of the first limiting member on the side close to the second limiting member extends in an arc shape to achieve the setting of the third edge. There are multiple limiting grooves, and the multiple limiting grooves are arranged along the third edge to achieve the arrangement of multiple limiting grooves. By setting multiple limiting grooves, when the support plate is rotated to different angles, the corresponding position of the support plate can be fixed by inserting the limiting part into the limiting groove. The distance between two adjacent limiting grooves in the multiple limiting grooves is a third distance L3, and the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 1.2, so as to achieve the adjustment of the distance between two adjacent limiting grooves in the multiple limiting grooves. By setting the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 to 0.4 to 1.2, the strength of the limiting part and the limiting groove is improved, and the deformation of the limiting part is avoided.

[0026] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the third edge of the first limit member on the side close to the second limit member extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limit grooves, and the multiple limit grooves are arranged along the third edge, and the distance between two adjacent limit grooves in the multiple limit grooves is a third distance L3, and the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 11 mm.

[0027] In this technical solution, the third edge of the first limit member on the side close to the second limit member extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limit grooves, and the multiple limit grooves are arranged along the third edge, and the distance between two adjacent limit grooves in the multiple limit grooves is the third distance L3, so as to adjust the distance between two adjacent limit grooves in the multiple limit grooves. By setting the third distance L3 to 4 mm to 11 mm, the strength of the limit part and the limit groove is improved, and deformation of the limit part is avoided.

[0028] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the third edge of the first limiting member on a side close to the second limiting member extends in an arc shape, and the radius of the third edge is greater than or equal to 30 mm and less than or equal to 70 mm.

[0029] In this technical solution, the third edge of the first limiter on the side close to the second limiter extends in an arc shape, and the radius of the third edge is greater than or equal to 30 mm and less than or equal to 70 mm, so as to adjust the size of the first limiter on the side close to the second limiter. By setting the radius of the third edge to 30 mm to 70 mm, the structural dimension redundancy of the first limiter can be avoided, the appearance of the first limiter is made simpler, and the cost of the first limiter can be reduced.

[0030] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the bracket is provided with a support portion; the hanging steamer also includes a support rod, the first end of the support rod is connected to the support plate and can rotate relative to the support plate; when the support plate is in a horizontal position, the second end of the support rod can be clamped in the support portion; the distance from the first end of the support rod to the second end of the support rod is a fourth distance L4; the surface of the support plate also includes a second edge, and the second edge and the first edge are respectively located on both sides of the first projection line; the projection of the rotation axis of the support rod relative to the support plate on the surface of the support plate is the second projection line, and the distance between the second edge and the second projection line is the fifth distance L5; the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is greater than or equal to 1, and less than or equal to 2.

[0031] In this technical solution, the bracket is provided with a support portion, and the garment steamer further includes a support rod, the first end of which is connected to the support plate and can rotate relative to the support plate. When the support plate is in a horizontal position, the second end of the support rod can be engaged with the support portion, which can enhance the support strength of the support plate, improve structural stability, and facilitate user use. When the support plate is flat, the interaction between the support rod and the support portion can further enhance the stability of the garment steamer. The distance from the first end of the support rod to the second end of the support rod is a fourth distance L4. The surface of the support plate also includes a second edge, which is located on either side of the first projection line, respectively, as is the first edge. The projection of the rotation axis of the support rod relative to the support plate on the surface of the support plate is a second projection line, and the distance between the second edge and the second projection line is a fifth distance L5. The ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2, so as to adjust the setting position and size of the support rod. By setting the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 to 1 to 2, the stability of the support plate is improved, and an excessively large ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is avoided, which would cause the support plate to extend too long relative to the support point and easily deform the extended portion. A ratio within the range of 1 to 2 can ensure the support performance of the support rod. It can also prevent a too small ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 from causing the support rod to extend beyond the lower end of the support plate when rotated and stored. A ratio within the range of 1 to 2 can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the support rod when it rotates.

[0032] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the bracket includes a mounting box, and the second position-limiting member is located in the mounting box; the second position-limiting member can slide relative to the bracket.

[0033] In this technical solution, the bracket includes a mounting box, and the second limiting member is located in the mounting box to achieve the installation of the second limiting member, and the mounting box can also protect the second limiting member. The second limiting member can slide relative to the bracket. The user can control the second limiting member to slide relative to the bracket to control the second limiting member to move relative to the first limiting member, thereby achieving the limiting portion snapping into the limiting groove, or relatively detaching from the limiting groove, and quickly adjusting the angle of the support plate, which can reduce the complexity of replacing or repositioning the hanging steamer and improve work efficiency. The user controls the sliding of the second limiting member to achieve the control of the limiting portion snapping into the limiting groove, or relatively detaching from the limiting groove, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the angle of the support plate and facilitating user operation. In some technical solutions of the present utility model, optionally, the second limiting member includes a sliding component, which can slide relative to the bracket toward or away from the first limiting member, and the limiting portion is provided on the sliding component.

[0034] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the first limiting member is provided with a first axial hole, the bracket includes a first rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft is passed through the first axial hole, the mounting box extends along the height direction, the first rotating shaft is provided at one end of the mounting box close to the first limiting member, the mounting box is provided with an abutment wall, the hanging steamer also includes a first elastic member, the first end of the first elastic member abuts against the abutment wall, and the second end of the first elastic member is connected to the second limiting member; wherein, when the limiting portion disengages from the limiting groove, the support plate can rotate relative to the bracket, and the first elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0035] In this technical solution, the first limiting member is provided with a first axial hole, and the bracket includes a first rotating shaft, which is passed through the first axial hole to realize the installation of the first rotating shaft, so that the support plate can rotate relative to the bracket. The installation box extends in the height direction, and the first rotating shaft is provided at one end of the installation box close to the first limiting member. The installation box is provided with an abutting wall to realize the arrangement of the first rotating shaft and the installation box. The hanging steamer also includes a first elastic member, the first end of the first elastic member abuts the abutting wall, and the second end of the first elastic member is connected to the second limiting member to realize the arrangement of the first elastic member. Therefore, the abutting wall and the second limiting member can provide support for both ends of the first elastic member, so that the first elastic member can be deformed under force, and can also further enhance the stability of the first elastic member and prevent the first elastic member from shifting. When the limiting portion is disengaged from the limiting groove, the support plate can rotate relative to the bracket to realize unlocking of the support plate, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the support plate. At this time, the first elastic member is in a compressed state, and the first elastic member tends to release elastic potential energy. Since the limiting portion and the limiting groove are disengaged from each other, the user can freely adjust the fixed angle of the support plate. After the user adjusts, the user can release the elastic potential energy of the first elastic member, and then drive the limiting portion into the limiting groove through the first elastic member, thereby completing the relative fixation of the support plate and the bracket, so that the support plate cannot rotate relative to the bracket and can be fixed on the bracket, which is convenient for the user to use the support plate to support clothes, and also improves the overall structural strength, making it easier for the user to handle clothes.

[0036] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the hanging steamer also includes a second cover body, the second cover body is connected to the installation box, and the second cover body and the installation box form a slide groove; the second limit member is arranged in the slide groove, and the second limit member also includes a pressing part, which can drive the second limit member to move relative to the bracket.

[0037] In this technical solution, the hanging steamer also includes a second cover body, which is connected to the installation box to achieve the installation and fixation of the second cover body. The second cover body and the installation box are surrounded by a slide groove to achieve the arrangement of the slide groove. The second limiting member also includes a pressing part, which can drive the second limiting member to move relative to the bracket, so that the user can manually operate the pressing part to drive the limiting member into or out of the limiting groove, thereby achieving quick unlocking or adjustment. The user can achieve the disengagement of the limiting part from the limiting groove without using additional tools or performing complicated operations, which reduces the difficulty and cost of operation. When it is necessary to adjust or unlock the device, the second limiting member is driven to move by the pressing part, so that the limiting part is disengaged from the limiting groove, which can ensure the safety of the operation process.

[0038] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the pressing portion is a groove formed on the second limiting member; and a first opening is provided on the second cover body, and the first opening is opposite to the groove.

[0039] In this technical solution, the pressing portion is a groove formed on the second limiting member, and the second cover is provided with a first opening, which is opposite to the groove to realize the arrangement of the first opening and the groove. When the second limiting member needs to be moved, the user can manually operate the groove to control the displacement of the second limiting member. By moving the second limiting member toward the limiting groove, the limiting portion can be inserted into the limiting groove, so that the support plate can be fixed relative to the bracket. By moving the second limiting member away from the limiting groove, the limiting portion is disengaged from the limiting groove, so that the support plate can be rotated relative to the bracket, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the support plate and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0040] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, a guide groove is provided on the second limit member, and the guide groove is provided with a first guide surface, which is inclined relative to the sliding direction of the second limit member; a second guide surface is provided on the side of the pressing portion facing the second limit member, the second guide surface is in contact with the first guide surface, and the inclination direction of the second guide surface is the same as the inclination direction of the first guide surface; the side of the pressing portion away from the guide groove is exposed to the second cover body.

[0041] In this technical solution, the second stopper is provided with a guide groove, which is provided with a first guide surface. The first guide surface is inclined relative to the sliding direction of the second stopper. A second guide surface is provided on the side of the pressing portion facing the second stopper. The second guide surface contacts the first guide surface and has the same inclination direction as the first guide surface. Through the interaction between the first and second guide surfaces, when a user presses the pressing portion, the second guide surface of the pressing portion interacts with the first guide surface, driving the second stopper downward through the downward pressing portion, allowing the second stopper to slide relative to the bracket away from the first stopper. Since the stopper is provided on the second stopper, when the second stopper is downward, the stopper exits the stopper groove, releasing the limit imposed by the stopper on the support plate, allowing the support plate to rotate relative to the support plate, that is, the user can adjust the installation angle of the support plate. This reduces the user's operating difficulty, improves the flexibility of the garment steamer, and reduces the difficulty of adjusting the support plate angle, making it easier for the user to use the garment steamer. This allows the user to manually operate the pressing portion to actuate the second position-limiting member. The side of the pressing portion, away from the guide slot, is exposed to the second cover, allowing the user to manually operate the pressing portion to actuate the second position-limiting member. When the user presses the pressing portion, it interacts with the first guide surface, causing the second position-limiting member to move downward, allowing the position-limiting member to exit the slot and allowing the support plate to rotate relative to the support plate, thereby allowing the user to adjust the installation angle of the support plate.

Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the support member 102 includes a support plate 104 and a first limiting member 110, the support plate 104 can rotate relative to the bracket 116; the second limiting member 128 can move relative to the bracket 116; one of the first limiting member 110 and the second limiting member 128 is provided with a limiting groove 114, and the other is provided with a limiting portion 136, wherein when the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114, the support plate 104 is fixed relative to the bracket 116; as shown Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the projection of the axis of rotation of the support plate 104 relative to the bracket 116 on the surface of the support plate 104 is a first projection line. The surface of the support plate 104 includes a first edge 106. The distance from the first edge 106 to the first projection line is a first distance L1. Figure 6 As shown, the width of at least a portion of the limiting portion 136 located in the limiting groove 114 is the first width W1; the first distance L1 and the first width W1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50.

[0065] In this embodiment, the garment steamer 100 includes a support member 102, a bracket 116, and a second stopper 128. The support member 102 includes a support plate 104 and a first stopper 110. The support plate 104 is rotatable relative to the bracket 116, allowing the support member 102 to rotate relative to the bracket 116 and the bracket 116 to support the support member 102. The second stopper 128 is movable relative to the bracket 116 to facilitate assembly between the second stopper 128 and the bracket 116. One of the first stopper 110 and the second stopper 128 is provided with a stopper slot 114, and the other is provided with a stopper portion 136 to facilitate the arrangement of the stopper slot 114 and the stopper portion 136. When the limiting portion 136 is located within the limiting groove 114, the support plate 104 is fixed relative to the bracket 116, so that the support plate 104 cannot rotate relative to the bracket 116 and can be fixed to the bracket 116, making it easier for users to use the support plate 104 to support clothing, while also improving the overall structural strength and making it easier for users to handle clothing. The projection of the axis of rotation of the support plate 104 relative to the bracket 116 on the surface of the support plate 104 is a first projection line. The surface of the support plate 104 includes a first edge 106, and the distance from the first edge 106 to the first projection line is a first distance L1. The width of at least the portion of the limiting portion 136 located within the limiting groove 114 is a first width W1. The first distance L1 and the first width W1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50, so as to achieve adjustment of the width of the limiting portion 136. By setting the first width W1 to be between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50, after the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, when ironing clothes, the strength of the support plate 104 is ensured, the stability of the support plate 104 after being connected to the bracket 116 is improved, and the support plate 104 is prevented from being separated from the bracket 116 during use. In addition, the support plate 104 is prevented from shaking or bending, thereby solving the problem of the support plate 104 shaking or bending under force when it is rotated at different angles for ironing, avoiding the first width W1 being too large causing the second limiter 128 to be too bloated and bulky, and avoiding the first width W1 being too small causing the support of the support plate 104 to be poor.

[0066] Specifically, the limiting portion 136 has a first mating surface and a second mating surface, and the first mating surface is opposite to the second mating surface. When the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114, the first mating surface and the second mating surface are respectively matched with the limiting groove 114. The distance between the first mating surface and the second mating surface is the first width W1. There are multiple distances between the first mating surface and the second mating surface, and the multiple distances are different. The multiple distances correspond to multiple first widths W1 respectively. At least one first width W1 among the multiple first widths W1 satisfies the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50.

[0067] Specifically, there are multiple distances between the first mating surface and the second mating surface, and the multiple distances are the same. The multiple distances correspond to multiple first widths W1 respectively, and the multiple first widths W1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤W1≤L1 / 50.

[0068] Specifically, the limiting portion 136 and the second limiting member 128 are formed by injection molding, and there is an arc-shaped area at the connection between the limiting portion 136 and the second limiting member 128. The first width W1 is the distance between the first mating surface and the second mating surface outside the arc-shaped area at the connection between the limiting portion 136 and the second limiting member 128.

[0069] Specifically, the present application sets the first width W1 to between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50. After the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, the strength of the support plate 104 when ironing clothes can be ensured, and the support plate 104 can be prevented from shaking or bending. The angle of the support plate 104 can be easily adjusted during use, and the support plate 104 is stronger, and has better support and stability when ironing and hanging clothes.

[0070] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 118 is disposed within the first axial hole 112, achieving both position limiting and connection, simplifying the structure. This also avoids the need for additional connectors, further simplifying the overall structure and reducing the number and complexity of components. This also facilitates adjustment of the angle or position of the support plate 104. The rotating shaft structure allows the support plate 104 to smoothly rotate relative to the bracket 116, enabling quick and flexible adjustments. This reduces the complexity of replacing or repositioning the garment steamer 100 and improves work efficiency.

[0071] Specifically, in Figure 5 In , B represents the first projection line.

[0072] Specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting portion 136 is engaged with the limiting groove 114 , that is, the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114 , and the support plate 104 is fixed relative to the bracket 116 .

[0073] Specifically, if Figure 9 As shown, the limiting portion 136 is disengaged from the limiting groove 114 , that is, the limiting portion 136 is located outside the limiting groove 114 , and the support plate 104 can rotate relative to the bracket 116 .

[0074] Specifically, L1 is the maximum distance from one side of the support plate 104 to the rotation center of the support plate 104 .

[0075] Specifically, L2 is the minimum distance from one side of the support plate 104 to the rotation center of the support plate 104 .

[0076] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, the height of the limiting portion 136 is a first height H1; the first distance L1 and the first height H1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤H1≤L1 / 50.

[0078] In this embodiment, the height of the limiting portion 136 is a first height H1; the first distance L1 and the first height H1 satisfy the following relationship: L1 / 100≤H1≤L1 / 50, thereby enabling adjustment of the height of the limiting portion 136. By setting the first height H1 between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50, after the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, the strength of the support plate 104 during ironing can be ensured, preventing the support plate 104 from shaking or bending. This solves the problem of the rotatable support plate 104 of the garment steamer 100 shaking or bending when ironing at different angles. It also avoids the situation where the second limiting member 128 is too bulky due to a too large first height H1, and the situation where the support plate 104 is too weak, resulting in poor support.

[0079] Specifically, when the first mating surface and the second mating surface of the limiting portion 136 are parallel, the first height H1 is the distance from the side of the limiting portion 136 close to the body 130 to the side of the limiting portion 136 away from the body 130 .

[0080] Specifically, the limiting portion 136 is a limiting tooth. When the first mating surface and the second mating surface of the limiting portion 136 are not parallel, the first height H1 is the distance between the tooth tip of the limiting portion 136 and the tooth root of the limiting portion 136 .

[0081] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0082] The first height H1 is in direct proportion to the first distance L1.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first height H1 is directly proportional to the first distance L1. The larger the first distance L1 is, the greater the rotational torque that the first edge 106 may be subjected to under the same pressure. The larger the first height H1 is, the stronger the engagement strength between the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114 is, thereby avoiding the support plate 104 shaking and deformation, the limiting portion 136 breaking, and the support plate 104 slipping due to the rotational torque applied to the first edge 106, thereby ensuring the strength of the support plate 104 and preventing the support plate 104 from shaking or bending.

[0084] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the support plate 104 also includes a second edge 108, and the second edge 108 and the first edge 106 are respectively located on both sides of the first projection line, and the distance from the second edge 108 to the first projection line is the second distance L2; the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 1.5.

[0086] In this embodiment, the surface of the support plate 104 further includes a second edge 108. The second edge 108 and the first edge 106 are located on either side of the first projection line, respectively. The distance between the second edge 108 and the first projection line is a second distance L2. The ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 1.5, thereby enabling adjustment of the size of the support plate 104. The location of the first axis is the rotation center of the support plate 104 during rotation. By setting the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 to 0.7 to 1.5, the corresponding end lengths are prevented from being too long beyond the rotation center, reducing the ironing load torque. This prevents the support plate 104 from shaking, bending, or deforming during ironing at different angles, thereby improving the support performance of the support plate 104.

[0087] Specifically, the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is equal to 0.7.

[0088] Specifically, the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is equal to 1.1.

[0089] Specifically, the ratio of the first distance L1 to the second distance L2 is equal to 1.5.

[0090] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0091] The second distance L2 is smaller than the first distance L1 , and the first width W1 is in direct proportion to the second distance L2 .

[0092] In this embodiment, the second distance L2 is smaller than the first distance L1, and the first width W1 is directly proportional to the second distance L2. The larger the first width W1, the larger the second distance L2. Furthermore, the larger the first width W1, the stronger the stopper 136 is, preventing the support plate 104 from shaking and deforming, breaking the stopper 136, or slipping due to the rotational torque applied to the second edge 108. This ensures the strength of the support plate 104 and prevents it from shaking or bending.

[0093] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0094] like Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the second limiting member 128 includes a main body 130, a limiting portion 136 is arranged on the main body 130, and the limiting portion 136 is provided with a stop surface 138, and the stop surface 138 is located on the side of the limiting portion 136 away from the main body 130; when the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114, the stop surface 138 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 114, and a first gap 124 is provided between the first limiting member 110 and the main body 130.

[0095] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 128 includes a body 130, and a limiting portion 136 is provided on the body 130 to achieve the arrangement of the limiting portion 136. The limiting portion 136 is provided with a stop surface 138, which is located on a side of the limiting portion 136 away from the body 130 to achieve the arrangement of the stop surface 138. When the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114, the stop surface 138 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 114, and there is a first gap 124 between the first limiting member 110 and the main body 130, that is, after the limiting groove 114 is completely inserted into the limiting groove 114, there is no contact between the first limiting member 110 and the main body 130, so that when the limiting groove 114 is inserted into the limiting groove 114, the main body 130 will not interfere with the limiting portion 136, so that the limiting portion 136 can be more fully engaged in the limiting groove 114, thereby increasing the contact area between the limiting portion 136 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 114, and further improving stability.

[0096] Specifically, by providing a stop surface 138 on the limiting portion 136 , the depth of the limiting portion 136 inserted upward into the limiting groove 114 can be limited.

[0097] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0098] like Figure 6 As shown, the limiting portion 136 is provided with a limiting surface 140 , and the limiting surface 140 extends from the stop surface 138 toward the main body 130 along the movement direction of the main body 130 .

[0099] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 136 is provided with a limiting surface 140, which extends from the stop surface 138 toward the main body 130 along the direction of movement of the main body 130, thereby realizing the arrangement of the limiting surface 140. By providing the limiting surface 140 on the limiting portion 136, the side wall of the limiting portion 136 is parallel to the direction of the main body 130. When the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114, the lateral pressure exerted by the limiting groove 114 on the limiting portion 136 is perpendicular to the side surface and movement direction of the limiting portion 136, and no force component in the direction of movement is generated. As a result, the limiting portion 136 will not loosen up and down, thereby ensuring that the support plate 104 is locked more firmly and does not shake.

[0100] Specifically, by providing a limiting surface 140 on the limiting portion 136 , when the limiting portion 136 is located in the limiting groove 114 , the support plate 104 is prevented from shaking along the rotation center, thereby affecting the ironing efficiency and experience.

[0101] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0102] like Figure 6 As shown, the limiting portion 136 is provided with a guide surface 158 , which extends from the stop surface 138 to the limiting surface 140 and is inclined relative to the movement direction of the body 130 .

[0103] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 136 is provided with a guide surface 158, which extends from the stop surface 138 toward the limiting surface 140 and is inclined relative to the movement direction of the body 130 to achieve the arrangement of the guide surface 158. By providing the guide surface 158 on the limiting portion 136, that is, providing a chamfer at the end of the limiting portion 136 near the limiting groove 114, the limiting portion 136 is more convenient to move when entering and leaving the limiting groove 114, and facilitates the insertion and guidance of the limiting portion 136 with the limiting groove 114 during the upward and downward movement.

[0104] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0105] The first width W1 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first width W1 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm to adjust the size of the limiting portion 136. By setting the first width W1 to 4 mm to 8 mm, after the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, the strength of the support plate 104 during ironing can be ensured, preventing the support plate 104 from shaking or bending. This solves the problem of the rotatable support plate 104 of the garment steamer 100 shaking or bending under stress when ironing at different angles. It also avoids the situation where the second limiting member 128 is too bulky due to an excessive first width W1, and avoids the situation where the support plate 104's support performance is poor due to a too small first width W1.

[0107] Specifically, the first width W1 is equal to 4 mm.

[0108] Specifically, the first width W1 is equal to 6 mm.

[0109] Specifically, the first width W1 is equal to 8 mm.

[0110] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0111] like Figure 3 As shown, the third edge 126 of the first limiting member 110 on one side close to the second limiting member 128 extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limiting grooves 114, and the multiple limiting grooves 114 are arranged along the third edge 126. The distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 in the multiple limiting grooves 114 is the third distance L3, and the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 1.2.

[0112] In this embodiment, the third edge 126 of the first limiting member 110 on a side close to the second limiting member 128 extends in an arc shape to achieve the setting of the third edge 126. There are multiple limiting grooves 114, and the multiple limiting grooves 114 are arranged along the third edge 126 to achieve the arrangement of multiple limiting grooves 114. By providing multiple limiting grooves 114, when the support plate 104 is rotated to different angles, the corresponding position of the support plate 104 can be fixed by inserting the limiting portion 136 into the limiting groove 114. The distance between two adjacent limit grooves 114 among the multiple limit grooves 114 is the third distance L3, and the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 1.2, so as to adjust the distance between two adjacent limit grooves 114 among the multiple limit grooves 114. By setting the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 to 0.4 to 1.2, the strength of the limit portion 136 and the limit groove 114 is improved, thereby avoiding deformation of the limit portion 136.

[0113] Specifically, the third distance L3 is the distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 among the multiple limiting grooves 114, and at least one of the distances satisfies: the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 1.2, so as to ensure the strength of the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114.

[0114] Preferably, the third distance L3 is the minimum distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 among the multiple limiting grooves 114, and the minimum distance satisfies: the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 0.4, and less than or equal to 1.2, so as to ensure the strength of the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114, and avoid the distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 being too small to reduce the strength of the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114.

[0115] Specifically, the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is equal to 0.4.

[0116] Specifically, the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is equal to 0.8.

[0117] Specifically, the ratio of the first width W1 to the third distance L3 is equal to 1.2.

[0118] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0119] like Figure 3 As shown, the third edge 126 of the first limiting member 110 on the side close to the second limiting member 128 extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limiting grooves 114, and the multiple limiting grooves 114 are arranged along the third edge 126. The distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 in the multiple limiting grooves 114 is a third distance L3, and the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 11 mm.

[0120] In this embodiment, the third edge 126 of the first limiting member 110 on the side close to the second limiting member 128 extends in an arc shape; there are multiple limiting grooves 114, and the multiple limiting grooves 114 are arranged along the third edge 126, and the distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 in the multiple limiting grooves 114 is a third distance L3, so as to adjust the distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 114 in the multiple limiting grooves 114. By setting the third distance L3 to 4 mm to 11 mm, the strength of the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114 is improved, and deformation of the limiting portion 136 is avoided.

[0121] Specifically, the third distance L3 is equal to 4 mm.

[0122] Specifically, the third distance L3 is equal to 7 mm.

[0123] Specifically, the third distance L3 is equal to 11 mm.

[0124] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0125] like Figure 3 As shown, the third edge 126 of the first limiting member 110 on a side close to the second limiting member 128 extends in an arc shape, and the radius of the third edge 126 is greater than or equal to 30 mm and less than or equal to 70 mm.

[0126] In this embodiment, the third edge 126 of the first limit member 110 on the side close to the second limit member 128 extends in an arc shape, and the radius of the third edge 126 is greater than or equal to 30 mm and less than or equal to 70 mm, so as to adjust the size of the side of the first limit member 110 close to the second limit member 128. By setting the radius of the third edge 126 to 30 mm to 70 mm, the structural dimension redundancy of the first limit member 110 can be avoided, the appearance of the first limit member 110 is made simpler, and the cost of the first limit member 110 can be reduced.

[0127] Specifically, the radius of the third edge 126 is equal to 30 mm.

[0128] Specifically, the radius of the third edge 126 is equal to 50 mm.

[0129] Specifically, the radius of the third edge 126 is equal to 70 millimeters.

[0130] Specifically, if the first width W1, the radius of the third edge 126, and the third distance L3 are too large, the first limiter 110 will be too bulky and inconvenient for users to operate; if they are too small, the support performance of the support plate 104 will be poor. By setting the first width W1, the radius of the third edge 126, and the third distance L3 within the corresponding range, the strength of the first limiter 110 can be guaranteed.

[0131] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0132] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, the bracket 116 is provided with a support portion 120; the garment steamer 100 further includes a support rod 148, a first end of the support rod 148 is connected to the support plate 104 and can rotate relative to the support plate 104; when the support plate 104 is in a horizontal position, the second end of the support rod 148 can be clamped to the support portion 120; the distance from the first end of the support rod 148 to the second end of the support rod 148 is a fourth distance L4; the surface of the support plate 104 further includes a second edge 108, and the second edge 108 and the first edge 106 are respectively located on both sides of the first projection line; as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the projection of the rotation axis of the support rod 148 relative to the support plate 104 on the surface of the support plate 104 is a second projection line, and the distance between the second edge 108 and the second projection line is a fifth distance L5; the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2.

[0133] In this embodiment, the bracket 116 is provided with a support portion 120, and the garment steamer 100 further includes a support rod 148. The first end of the support rod 148 is connected to the support plate 104 and can rotate relative to the support plate 104. When the support plate 104 is in a horizontal position, the second end of the support rod 148 can be clamped to the support portion 120, which can enhance the support strength of the support plate 104, improve the structural stability, and facilitate user use. When the support plate 104 is laid flat, the mutual cooperation between the support rod 148 and the support portion 120 can further enhance the stability of the garment steamer 100. The distance from the first end of the support rod 148 to the second end of the support rod 148 is a fourth distance L4. The surface of the support plate 104 also includes a second edge 108, and the second edge 108 and the first edge 106 are respectively located on either side of the first projection line. The projection of the rotation axis of the support rod 148 relative to the support plate 104 on the surface of the support plate 104 is a second projection line, and the distance between the second edge 108 and the second projection line is a fifth distance L5. The ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2, so that the location and size of the support rod 148 can be adjusted. By setting the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 to 1 to 2, the stability of the support plate 104 is improved, and an excessively large ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is avoided, which would cause the support plate 104 to extend too far from the support point and easily deform the extended portion. A ratio within the range of 1 to 2 ensures the support performance of the support rod 148. It also prevents a too small ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 from causing the support rod 148 to extend beyond the lower end of the support plate 104 when rotated and stored. A ratio within the range of 1 to 2 ensures the aesthetic appearance of the support rod 148 when it rotates.

[0134] Specifically, in Figure 5 In , C represents the second projection line.

[0135] Specifically, the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is equal to 1.

[0136] Specifically, the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is equal to 1.5.

[0137] Specifically, the ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is equal to 2.

[0138] Specifically, the support rod 148 can be opened for flat ironing or diagonal ironing. When opened, its ends are respectively engaged with the support portion 120 and the support plate 104. The ratio of the fifth distance L5 to the fourth distance L4 is set to 1 to 2. If the ratio is too large, the support plate 104 will extend too far from the support point, causing deformation and poor support. If the ratio is too small, the support rod 148 will extend beyond the lower end of the support plate 104 when stored, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

[0139] Specifically, when the user uses the support plate 104 to support clothes, the support rod 148 can be opened to keep the support plate 104 horizontal, or the angle of the support plate 104 can be adjusted to 45 degrees according to actual needs.

[0140] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0141] like Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 116 includes a mounting box 122 , and the second limiting member 128 is located in the mounting box 122 ; the second limiting member 128 can slide relative to the bracket 116 .

[0142] In this embodiment, the bracket 116 includes a mounting box 122, and a second stopper 128 is located within the mounting box 122 to facilitate installation of the second stopper 128. The mounting box 122 also protects the second stopper 128. The second stopper 128 is capable of sliding relative to the bracket 116. By controlling the sliding movement of the second stopper 128 relative to the bracket 116, the user can control the relative movement of the second stopper 128 relative to the first stopper 110, thereby causing the stopper 136 to engage or disengage from the stopper slot 114. This allows for quick adjustment of the angle of the support plate 104, reduces the complexity of replacing or repositioning the garment steamer 100, and improves work efficiency. By controlling the sliding movement of the second stopper 128, the user can control the stopper 136 to engage or disengage from the stopper slot 114, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the angle of the support plate 104 and facilitating user operation. In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the second limiter 128 includes a sliding component that can slide relative to the bracket 116 toward or away from the first limiter 110 , and the limit portion 136 is disposed on the sliding component.

[0143] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0144] like Figure 1 As shown, the first limiting member 110 is provided with a first axial hole 112, the bracket 116 includes a first rotating shaft 118, the first rotating shaft 118 is passed through the first axial hole 112, the mounting box 122 extends along the height direction, the first rotating shaft 118 is provided at one end of the mounting box 122 close to the first limiting member 110, the mounting box 122 is provided with an abutting wall 160, the hanging steamer 100 also includes a first elastic member 150, the first end of the first elastic member 150 abuts against the abutting wall 160, and the second end of the first elastic member 150 is connected to the second limiting member 128; wherein, when the limiting portion 136 disengages from the limiting groove 114, the support plate 104 can rotate relative to the bracket 116, and the first elastic member 150 is in a compressed state.

[0145] In this embodiment, the first stopper 110 is provided with a first shaft hole 112, and the bracket 116 includes a first rotating shaft 118. The first rotating shaft 118 is disposed within the first shaft hole 112 to facilitate installation of the first rotating shaft 44, allowing the support plate 104 to rotate relative to the bracket 116. The mounting box 122 extends in the height direction, and the first rotating shaft 118 is disposed at one end of the mounting box 122 near the first stopper 110. The mounting box 122 is provided with an abutting wall 160 to facilitate arrangement of the first rotating shaft 118 and the mounting box 122. The garment steamer 100 also includes a first elastic member 150, a first end of the first elastic member 150 abuts the abutting wall 160, and a second end of the first elastic member 150 is connected to the second stopper 128 to facilitate arrangement of the first elastic member 150. Therefore, the abutting wall 160 and the second limiting member 128 can provide support for both ends of the first elastic member 150, facilitating deformation of the first elastic member 150 under load, and can further enhance the stability of the first elastic member 150 and prevent displacement of the first elastic member 150. When the limiting portion 136 is released from the limiting groove 114, the support plate 104 can rotate relative to the bracket 116 to unlock the support plate 104, facilitating adjustment of the position of the support plate 104. At this time, the first elastic member 150 is in a compressed state, and the first elastic member 150 tends to release elastic potential energy. Since the limiting portion 136 and the limiting groove 114 are disengaged from each other, the user can freely adjust the fixed angle of the support plate 104. After the user adjusts, the user can release the elastic potential energy of the first elastic member 150, and then drive the limiting portion 136 into the limiting groove 114 through the first elastic member 150, completing the relative fixation of the support plate 104 and the bracket 116, so that the support plate 104 cannot rotate relative to the bracket 116 and can be fixed on the bracket 116, which is convenient for the user to use the support plate 104 to support clothes, and also improves the overall structural strength, making it easier for the user to handle clothes.

[0146] Specifically, the first elastic member 150 is a spring.

[0147] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0148] like Figure 1 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the garment steamer 100 also includes a second cover body 152, which is connected to the installation box 122, and the second cover body 152 and the installation box 122 form a slide groove 156; the second limit member 128 is arranged in the slide groove 156, and the second limit member 128 also includes a pressing portion 142, which can drive the second limit member 128 to move relative to the bracket 116.

[0149] In this embodiment, the garment steamer 100 further includes a second cover 152, which is connected to the mounting box 122 to facilitate installation and securement of the second cover 152. The second cover 152 and the mounting box 122 define a slide 156 to facilitate the arrangement of the slide 156. The second stopper 128 further includes a pressing portion 142, which is capable of driving the second stopper 128 relative to the bracket 116. This allows a user to manually operate the pressing portion 142 to move the stopper 136 into or out of the stopper slot 114, thereby enabling quick unlocking or adjustment. The user can disengage the stopper 136 from the stopper slot 114 without the use of additional tools or complex manipulation, reducing operational complexity and cost. When the device needs to be adjusted or unlocked, the pressing portion 142 drives the second stopper 128 to move, disengaging the stopper 136 from the stopper slot 114, ensuring safe operation.

[0150] Specifically, when the user does not need to use the garment steamer 100 , the support plate 104 can be adjusted to a vertical state to reduce the occupied space.

[0151] Specifically, when using the garment steamer 100 to process clothes, the user can adjust the support plate 104 to a suitable angle for easy use.

[0152] Specifically, the user can adjust the support plate 104 to a horizontal state.

[0153] Specifically, the garment steamer 100 that uses the pressing portion 142 to adjust the angle of the support plate 104 can adjust the support plate 104 to a vertical state, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0154] Specifically, the user can operate the pressing portion 142 to adjust the support plate 104 to a suitable angle.

[0155] Specifically, the user can also release the restriction on the support plate 104 by pressing the pressing portion 142 and adjust the support plate 104 to a horizontal position.

[0156] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0157] like Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, the pressing portion 142 is formed in a groove 146 on the second limiting member 128 ; a first opening 154 is provided on the second cover 152 , and the first opening 154 is opposite to the groove 146 .

[0158] In this embodiment, the pressing portion 142 is a groove 146 formed on the second limiting member 128. The second cover 152 is provided with a first opening 154, which is opposite to the groove 146 to achieve the arrangement of the first opening 154 and the groove 146. When it is necessary to move the second limiting member 128, the user can manually operate the groove 146 to control the displacement of the second limiting member 128. By moving the second limiting member 128 toward the limiting groove 114, the limiting portion 136 can be inserted into the limiting groove 114, so that the support plate 104 can be fixed relative to the bracket 116. By moving the second limiting member 128 away from the limiting groove 114, the limiting portion 136 is disengaged from the limiting groove 114, allowing the support plate 104 to rotate relative to the bracket 116, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the support plate 104 and reducing operational difficulty.

[0159] This embodiment provides a garment steamer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0160] like Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, a guide groove 132 is provided on the second limit member 128, and a first guide surface 134 is provided on the guide groove 132. The first guide surface 134 is inclined relative to the sliding direction of the second limit member 128; a second guide surface 144 is provided on the side of the pressing portion 142 facing the second limit member 128, the second guide surface 144 is in contact with the first guide surface 134, and the inclination direction of the second guide surface 144 is the same as the inclination direction of the first guide surface 134; the side of the pressing portion 142 away from the guide groove 132 is exposed to the second cover body 152.

[0161] In this embodiment, a guide groove 132 is provided on the second limit member 128, and a first guide surface 134 is provided on the guide groove 132, and the first guide surface 134 is inclined relative to the sliding direction of the second limit member 128; a second guide surface 144 is provided on the side of the pressing portion 142 facing the second limit member 128, and the second guide surface 144 is in contact with the first guide surface 134, and the inclination direction of the second guide surface 144 is the same as the inclination direction of the first guide surface 134. Through the interaction between the first guide surface 134 and the second guide surface 144, after the user presses the pressing portion 142, the second guide surface 144 of the pressing portion 142 interacts with the first guide surface 134, driving the second limiting member 128 downward through the downward pressing portion 142. The second limiting member 128 can slide relative to the bracket 116 in a direction away from the first limiting member 110. Since the limiting portion 136 is provided on the second limiting member 128, after the second limiting member 128 moves downward, the limiting portion 136 exits the limiting groove 114, releasing the restriction on the support plate 104 by the limiting portion 136, and the support plate 104 can achieve relative rotation, that is, the user can adjust the installation angle of the support plate 104. This reduces the user's operating difficulty, improves the flexibility of the garment steamer 100, and reduces the difficulty of adjusting the angle of the support plate 104, making it easier for the user to use the garment steamer 100. This allows the user to manually operate the pressing portion 142 to actuate the second stopper 128. The side of the pressing portion 142, away from the guide slot 132, is exposed to the second cover 152, allowing the user to manually operate the pressing portion 142 to actuate the second stopper 128. When the user presses the pressing portion 142, it interacts with the first guide surface 134, causing the second stopper 128 to move downward, and the stopper 136 to exit the stop slot 114, allowing the support plate 104 to rotate relative to the stopper 104. This allows the user to adjust the installation angle of the support plate 104.

[0162] Specifically, in Figure 11 , arrow I indicates the sliding direction of the second limiting member 128 .

[0163] Specifically, when pressing portion 142 is pressed, the inclined step at the lower end of pressing portion 142 moves vertically downward, and the second limiting member 128 and first elastic member 150 are subjected to a vertically downward force component, which compresses the spring and causes the second limiting member 128 to move vertically downward. After the second limiting member 128 moves vertically downward, the limiting portion 136 disengages from the limiting groove 114, and the support plate 104 is released from the locked state, at which point the support plate 104 can rotate. Thereafter, when pressing portion 142 is released, the spring extends under the elastic force, pushing the second limiting member 128 vertically upward. The pressing portion 142 returns vertically upward, and the limiting portion 136 locks upward and inserts into the corresponding limiting groove 114, locking the support rod 148 at the corresponding angle.

[0164] Specifically, the overall length of the support plate 104 is 600 mm, and L1 / L2 is between 0.7 and 1.5. If L1 / L2 is too large or too small, the support plate 104 will be too far away from the rotation center on one side of the first edge 106 and the second edge 108, resulting in greater load torque, easy shaking, bending and deformation of the support plate 104, and poor support performance. For example, if the length of L1 is 360 mm, that is, the maximum distance from the first edge 106 of the support plate 104 to the rotation center of the support plate 104 is 360 mm, then L1 / L2 is 1.5, and the first width W1 and first height H1 range from 3.6 mm to 7.2 mm. If the support plate 104 is 600 mm long and the first width W1 and first height H1 are less than 3.6 mm, the tooth strength and meshing depth are too low, and when ironing pressure is applied to the first edge of the support plate 104, there is a risk of the support rod 148 breaking or falling off. When the first width W1 and the first height H1 are greater than 7.2 mm, because there are at least 3 groups of meshing teeth (vertical ironing teeth, oblique ironing teeth, flat ironing teeth, and oblique ironing teeth are greater than or equal to 1), in order to take into account the third distance L3 and the width of the limiting groove 114 at the same time, the radius R1 of the third edge 126 must be at least 50 mm, which makes it inconvenient for users to operate.

[0165] Specifically, in Figure 3 , L6 represents the width of the limiting groove 114 .

[0166] Specifically, in Figure 4 In the figure, the maximum distances from the first rotating shaft 118 to the two ends of the support plate 104 are L1 and L2 respectively, the length from the support rod 148 to the top of the corresponding support plate 104 is L5, the length of the support rod 148 in the rotation direction is L4, and the rotation locking angle of the support rod 148 is G.

[0167] Specifically, if Figure 15 As shown, arrow F indicates the force direction of the support plate 104. The hook 162 of the support plate 104 is used to hang clothes and bear the weight, that is, when the hook 162 has a load, the load torque on the support plate 104 is M1. The torque M1 is centered on the axis of the first rotating shaft 118 and is perpendicular to the direction of the line connecting the first axis and the load force point of the hook 162, which will cause the support plate 104 to bend and deform around the axis. The present application sets the first width W1 to between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50. After the support plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, the strength of the support plate 104 during ironing can be ensured to avoid the support plate 104 being bent and deformed by the torque M1.

[0168] Specifically, if Figure 14As shown, the ironing head applies a thrust to the support plate 104. Arrows D and E indicate the direction of force applied to the support plate 104, generating a corresponding torque. This torque is centered on the axis of the first rotating shaft 118 and is perpendicular to the line connecting the first axis and the load-bearing point of the hook 162. This causes the support plate 104 to bend and deform about the axis. When the force-bearing points are at the upper and lower extreme distances of the support plate 104, these are the maximum torque points for upper and lower ironing, with the upper and lower maximum torques being M2a and M2b, respectively. By setting the first width W1 between L1 / 100 and L1 / 50, the present application ensures the strength of the support plate 104 during ironing after it is fixedly connected to the bracket 116, preventing the support plate 104 from bending and deforming due to the torque M1.

[0169] Specifically, the number of the limiting slots 114 on the first limiting member 110 can be designed according to the actual angle adjustment range. The number of the limiting slots 114 can be greater than the number of the limiting portions 136.
