[0024] As shown in Figures 1-5 The present application discloses a garment steamer with air suction function, which also comprises a heating element 2, an air suction device 3, a water conveying device 4, and a water supply pipe 5. The shell 1 comprises a heating cavity 11, an air cavity 12, and a water storage cavity 13. The heating element 2 is arranged in the heating cavity 11. The water conveying device 4 is arranged in the water storage cavity 13 and connected to the heating element 2 through the water supply pipe 5. The air suction device 3 is arranged in the air cavity 12. The shell 1 is provided with a steam port 14 which is in communication with the heating cavity 11. The shell 1 is also provided with an air suction port 15 which is in communication with the air cavity 12. The air suction port 15 and the steam port 14 are located on the same side of the shell 1. The air cavity 12 is also provided with an air outlet 16 which is in communication with the outside. When using the garment steamer, the water conveying device 4 takes water from the water storage cavity 13 in the shell 1 and conveys the water to the heating element 2 in the heating cavity 11 through the water supply pipe 5. The heating element 2 heats the water and generates high-temperature steam which is sprayed out through the steam port 14 on the shell 1 which is in communication with the heating cavity 11 and acts on the surface of the clothes. At the same time, the air suction device 3 in the air cavity 12 in the shell 1 is started, and the clothes are adsorbed through the air suction port 15 on the same side of the shell 1 as the steam port 14, so that the clothes are tightly attached to the area of the steam port 14. During the adsorption process, air enters the air cavity 12 through the air suction port 15 and is finally discharged from the air outlet 16 on the air cavity 12 which is in communication with the outside. The user does not need to use hands or auxiliary tools to fix the clothes, which fundamentally reduces the burden on the hands and avoids fatigue caused by long-time operation. The clothes are stably attached to the steam port 14 under the action of air suction, effectively solving the problem of uneven ironing flatness caused by uneven hand-held force and displacement of the clothes.

[0025] The steam cavity 12 is located between the heating cavity 11 and the water storage cavity 13, and the fixed track 17 through which the water supply pipe 5 passes is between the steam cavity 12 and the shell 1. When the water delivery device 4 delivers water through the water supply pipe 5, the water supply pipe 5 passes along the pre-set fixed track 17 between the steam cavity 12 and the shell 1, and the water in the water storage cavity 13 is accurately delivered to the heating element 2 in the heating cavity 11. The heating element 2 generates steam which is sprayed from the steam port 14. The air suction device 3 normally works in the steam cavity 12, and absorbs clothes through the air suction port 15. The air is discharged from the air exhaust port 16 through the air suction port 15 and the steam cavity 12. The position layout and the fixed track 17 of the steam cavity 12 do not affect the cooperative operation of the water supply, steam generation and air suction functions in the whole process. The layout design of the steam cavity 12 between the heating cavity 11 and the water storage cavity 13 can fully utilize the space in the shell 1, make the equipment structure more compact, reduce the overall volume, and facilitate storage and carrying.

The handle 6 and the shell 1 have a folding state and a use state. When the water delivery device 4 works, the water tank 43 in the water storage cavity 13 stores water source. The water pump 41 in the handle 6 extracts water from the water tank 43 through the connecting pipe 42, and then stably transmits the water to the heating element 2 in the heating cavity 11. The heating element 2 heats to generate steam which is sprayed from the steam port 14. The air suction device 3 synchronously absorbs clothes through the air suction port 15, realizing the process of holding and operating while ironing. The handle 6 provides a convenient holding position for the user, improves the flexibility of equipment operation, and adapts to the multi-angle ironing needs in different scenes such as home and office. The water pump 41 is integrated in the handle 6, shortening the water delivery path, improving the water supply efficiency, ensuring that the heating element 2 can obtain water source in time, and avoiding the problem of intermittent steam caused by delayed water supply. At the same time, the handle 6, the steam port 14 and the air suction port 15 maintain a reasonable distance, further reducing the probability of hand contact with high temperature area, enhancing the operation safety, and the water pump 41 and the water tank 43 are separately arranged through the connecting pipe 42, which is also convenient for separately disassembling the water tank 43 for water filling or cleaning. The handle 6 is foldable for storage.

During the clothes adsorption process, air enters the air cavity 12 from the air suction port 15 and continuously flows to the air exhaust port 16 under the driving of the fan 32, and finally is discharged to the outside from the air exhaust port 16, and cooperates with the steam emitted from the steam port 14 to act on the clothes. The structure of the motor 31 driving the fan 32 provides stable and controllable power for the air suction function, ensures that the suction force at the air suction port 15 is uniform and lasting, significantly improves the tightness of the clothes to the steam port 14, effectively avoids local wrinkles or displacement of the clothes during ironing, and further improves the ironing flatness. The air flow path driven by the fan 32 is clear and smooth, reduces the noise and failure probability of the air suction device 3 during operation, enhances the operation reliability of the equipment, and at the same time facilitates the adjustment of the rotating speed of the motor 31 according to the material of the clothes, adapts to different adsorption force requirements, and improves the applicability of the equipment.

[0028] A filter screen 7 is detachably arranged between the air cavity 12 and the air suction port 15. The air suction port 15 is in a waist-round shape.
