Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment steamer technology, and in particular to a pre-water-filled garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available garment steamers typically use a steam generator with only a heating element inside. This element directly heats the cold water entering the generator to produce steam. However, this method requires the heating element to reach a set temperature before the water pump is controlled to inject water from the tank through a long pipe into the heating element to vaporize it into steam. This results in a long waiting time for the user, typically 1-2 minutes, which limits the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pre-water-filled garment steamer. By setting a detector near the water pipe of the heating element to determine whether there is water in the water pipe at that location, the water is quickly pumped to the location near the heating element during the preheating stage, which can realize the pre-water-filling function. After the preheating is completed, the product can generate steam in a short time, which greatly shortens the waiting time and improves the user experience.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pre-filled garment steamer, comprising a water tank, a handle connected to the water tank via a water pipe, a steam iron connected to the front end of the handle, a heating element and a steam generator inside the steam iron, a temperature sensing element for sensing the temperature of the heating element, a detector connected to the water pipe inside the handle, and a steam outlet at the outer end of the steam iron.

[0005] Preferably, the handle is provided with a circuit board and control buttons electrically connected to the circuit board, and the temperature sensing element, detector, steam generator and heating element are all electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0006] More preferably, the steam iron includes an inner base and an inner shell, the heating element is disposed in the inner base, a water channel is formed at the upper end of the inner base, an ironing board is connected to the bottom end of the inner base, a steam channel is formed at the bottom end of the ironing board, a plurality of steam outlet holes corresponding to and communicating with the steam channel are opened on the ironing board, and the temperature sensing element is disposed on the inner shell.

[0007] More preferably, a partition is provided between the inner shell and the inner base, the steam generator is connected to the upper end of the partition, and a water outlet connector is also connected to the upper end of the partition. The water outlet connector is connected to the detector through a bent pipe.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, an outer shell is provided between the handle and the ironing board, and the inner base and the inner shell are disposed within the outer shell.

[0009] More preferably, the water tank is equipped with a water pump, and the outside of the water tank is provided with a mounting groove for placing the steam iron and the handle.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It includes a water tank, which is connected to a handle via a water pipe. A steam iron is connected to the front end of the handle. The steam iron contains a heating element and a steam generator. The steam iron also has a temperature sensing element for sensing the temperature of the heating element. A detector connected to the water pipe is located inside the handle. A steam outlet is opened at the outer end of the steam iron. By placing a detector near the water pipe of the heating element, it can be determined whether there is water in the water pipe at that location. During the preheating stage of the heating element, water can be quickly pumped to a position near the heating element, which can realize the pre-water function. After preheating is completed, the product can generate steam in an extremely short time, which greatly shortens the waiting time and improves the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a pre-water-filled garment steamer includes a water tank 1. The water tank 1 is connected to a handle 2 via a water pipe. A steam iron 3 is connected to the front end of the handle 2. The steam iron 3 is equipped with a heating element 4 and a steam generator 5. The steam iron 3 is also equipped with a temperature sensing element 6 for sensing the temperature of the heating element 4. A detector 7 connected to the water pipe is located inside the handle 2. A steam outlet is opened at the outer end of the steam iron 3. By placing the detector 7 near the water pipe of the heating element 4, it can be determined whether there is water in the water pipe at that location. During the preheating stage of the heating element 4, water is quickly drawn to the location near the heating element 4, which can realize the pre-water-filling function. After preheating is completed, the product can generate steam within 1-5 seconds, which greatly shortens the waiting time and improves the user experience.
