[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a water tank structure is provided for use in a garment steamer. The garment steamer includes a main body 10, which has a first connecting part 110 and a water inlet port 112. The water tank structure 20 includes a shell assembly 210 and a water tank body 230. The shell assembly 210 has a second connecting part 216 and a receiving cavity 224. The second connecting part 216 has a first connecting port 2162. The second connecting part 216 is used to detachably connect to the first connecting part 110. The water tank body 230 is disposed in the receiving cavity 224 and has a water outlet port 232, which is disposed in the first connecting port 2162. When the second connecting part 216 is connected to the first connecting part 110, the water outlet port 232 communicates with the water inlet port 112.

[0040] The garment steamer can be a handheld garment steamer. The garment steamer includes a main body 10, which has a first connecting part 110 for detachably connecting to a second connecting part 216 of the water tank structure 20. The main body 10 also has a heating chamber. The first connecting part 110 has a water inlet port 112 connected to the heating chamber. Liquid (such as water) enters the heating chamber through the water inlet port 112, and the liquid is heated to generate high-temperature steam for ironing and wrinkle removal of clothing. It should be noted that the heating chamber has a heating element, such as a heating tube, which converts electrical energy into heat energy to heat the water in the heating chamber. As the water temperature rises, when it reaches the boiling point of water (usually 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure), the water vaporizes into steam.

[0041] The housing assembly 210 is provided with a second connecting part 216, which is detachably connected to the first connecting part 110, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the water tank structure 20 and the main body 10 of the garment steamer. For example, the second connecting part 216 can be inserted into the first connecting part 110 by plugging it in, and the two connecting parts 216 are snapped together, thereby fixing the water tank structure 20 to the main body 10 of the garment steamer. When it is necessary to remove the water tank structure 20, the snap between the two connecting parts 216 can be released, and the second connecting part 216 can be pulled out from the first connecting part 110, thereby removing the water tank structure 20 from the main body 10 of the garment steamer, which facilitates the addition of water or maintenance of the water tank structure 20.

[0042] The housing assembly 210 is also provided with a receiving cavity 224, which is used to receive the water tank body 230; the second connecting part 216 is provided with a first connecting port 2162, which is used to set the water outlet port 232 of the water tank body 230, thereby limiting the water outlet port 232 of the water tank body 230.

[0043] The water tank body 230 can be a plastic structure, and its shape matches the shape of the receiving cavity 224 of the housing assembly 210. The water tank body 230 can be a regular or irregular shape; for example, the water tank body 230 can be a cuboid shape. The water tank body 230 is provided with a water outlet port 232, which communicates with the interior of the water tank body 230. When the second connecting part 216 is connected to the first connecting part 110, the water outlet port 232 communicates with the water inlet port 112, allowing water in the water tank body 230 to enter the main body 10 sequentially through the water outlet port 232 and the water inlet port 112, thus realizing the transfer of water in the water tank body 230. The water outlet port 232 of the water tank body 230 can be installed in the first connecting port 2162 via a plug-in connection, so that the water outlet port 232 can be connected to the water inlet port 112 of the main body 10.

[0044] In the above embodiments, the garment steamer is applied to a garment steamer. The main body 10 of the garment steamer is provided with a first connecting part 110, and the first connecting part 110 is provided with a water inlet port 112. The shell assembly 210 is provided with a second connecting part 216 and a receiving cavity 224. The second connecting part 216 is provided with a first connecting port 2162. The second connecting part 216 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 110. The water tank body 230 is disposed in the receiving cavity 224. The water tank body 230 is provided with a water outlet port 232, which is disposed in the first connecting port 2162. When the second connecting part 216 is connected to the first connecting part 110, the water outlet port 232 communicates with the water inlet port 112, realizing convenient disassembly and assembly of the water tank structure 20. This application provides a second connecting part 216 on the housing assembly 210 and a corresponding first connecting part 110 on the main body 10. By detachably connecting the first connecting part 110 and the second connecting part 216, when the second connecting part 216 is connected to the first connecting part 110, the water tank structure 20 is fixed on the main body 10 of the garment steamer, and the water outlet port 232 is connected to the water inlet port 112. When the second connecting part 216 is detached from the first connecting part 110, the water tank structure 20 is removed from the main body 10 of the garment steamer, and the connection between the water outlet port 232 and the water inlet port 112 is disconnected, thus facilitating the addition of water to the removed water tank, simplifying the water tank disassembly and assembly process, and improving the convenience of adding water to the water tank.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing assembly 210 is also provided with a cover 226; the second connecting part 216 is also provided with a second connecting port 2164; the water tank body 230 is also provided with a water injection port 234, which is located inside the second connecting port 2164; the cover 226 is located in the second connecting port 2164 to cover or open the water injection port 234.

[0046] The cover 226 can be used to seal the water inlet port 234. For example, the cover 226 can be fixed to the second connection port 2164 by snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or interference fit with soft material. When the cover 226 is fixed to the second connection port 2164, the water inlet port 234 is covered, preventing water in the water tank body 230 from leaking out of the water inlet port 234 during use. When it is necessary to add water to the water tank body 230, the cover 226 can be removed from the second connection port 2164, so that the water inlet port 234 is open, and water can be added to the water tank body 230 through the water inlet port 234.

[0047] The second connection port 2164 can be a circular port, and the water injection port 234 can be a circular port. The size of the second connection port 2164 is larger than the size of the water injection port 234. Therefore, when the water tank body 230 is placed in the receiving cavity 224 of the housing assembly 210, the water injection port 234 is limited by placing it in the second connection port 2164.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a one-way valve 236 is provided at the water injection port 234; the first port of the one-way valve 236 is located inside the water tank body 230, and the second end of the one-way valve 236 is located outside the water tank body 230; the first port of the one-way valve 236 is a normally closed port.

[0049] Among them, the one-way valve 236 can be a one-way valve 236 made of flexible material, such as soft silicone.

[0050] The first port of the one-way valve 236 is normally closed, and the second port is normally open. Since the one-way valve 236 is located at the water inlet port 234, the first port of the one-way valve 236 connects to the inside of the water tank body 230, and the second port connects to the water inlet device. Water from the water inlet device flows through the one-way valve 236, causing the first port to open due to the water flow impact, thus allowing water to be added to the water tank body 230. After water filling is complete, the water flow impact from the second port of the one-way valve 236 to the first port disappears, causing the first port of the one-way valve 236 to close. This prevents water from flowing out of the water tank body 230 through the first port of the one-way valve 236, improving the portability and reliability of adding water to the tank.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover 226 is provided with a first connecting post 228, and the second connecting part 216 is also provided with a third connecting port 2166; the first connecting post 228 is used to be inserted into the third connecting port 2166 to cover the cover 226 with the water injection port 234.

[0052] The first connecting post 228 is inserted into the third connecting port 2166, thereby fixing the cover 226 to the housing assembly 210 and sealing the water injection port 234. For example, the first connecting post 228 is provided with a rib, which can be made of a flexible material. When the first connecting post 228 is inserted into the third connecting port 2166, the rib on the first connecting post 228 can abut against the inside of the third connecting port 2166, increasing the connection strength between the first connecting post 228 and the third connecting port 2166 and preventing the cover 226 from falling off due to loosening between the first connecting post 228 and the third connecting port 2166.

[0053] For example, when the first connecting post 228 is inserted into the third connecting port 2166, the cover 226 can cover the water inlet port 234 to achieve a sealed cover; when water needs to be added to the water tank body 230, the cover 226 can be pulled out to separate the first connecting post 228 from the third connecting port 2166, so that water can be added to the water tank body 230 through the water inlet port 234.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the second connecting part 216 is provided with at least one limiting rib 218, and the outer wall of the first connecting part 110 is provided with at least one limiting groove 114; each limiting rib 218 and each limiting groove 114 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence to limit the second connecting part 216 and the first connecting part 110.

[0055] The limiting rib 218 and the second connecting part 216 are integrally formed. The limiting rib 218 can be straight or T-shaped, and the shape of the limiting groove 114 matches the shape of the limiting rib 218. The second connecting part 216 can be grooved, and the first connecting part 110 can be protruding. The second connecting part 216 can be installed on the first connecting part 110 by plugging it in.

[0056] For example, the inner wall of the second connecting part 216 has opposing left and right sides, and the left and right sides of the second connecting part 216 are respectively provided with limiting ribs 218. The outer wall of the first connecting part 110 has opposing left and right sides, and the left and right sides of the first connecting part 110 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 114. By inserting the second connecting part 216 into the first connecting part 110, the limiting ribs 218 on the second connecting part 216 are limited and set in the corresponding limiting grooves 114 of the first connecting part 110, thereby limiting the distance between the second connecting part 216 and the first connecting part 110, and thus fixing the water tank structure 20 to the main body 10 of the garment steamer, while realizing the water outlet end. The outlet 232 is connected to the water inlet port 112. When water needs to be added to the tank, the second connecting part 216 is pulled out from the first connecting part 110, so that the limiting rib 218 of the second connecting part 216 is disengaged from the limiting groove 114 of the first connecting part 110, thereby removing the water tank structure 20 from the main body 10 of the garment steamer. At the same time, the connection between the water outlet port 232 and the water inlet port 112 is disconnected, which makes it easier to add water to the disassembled water tank, simplifies the water tank disassembly and assembly process, and improves the convenience of adding water to the water tank.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the inner wall of the second connecting part 216 is provided with at least one slot 222, and the outer wall of the first connecting part 110 is provided with at least one protrusion 116; each slot 222 and each protrusion 116 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence to fix the second connecting part 216 and the first connecting part 110.

[0058] The inner wall of the second connecting part 216 also has a top surface, and the top surface of the second connecting part 216 is provided with at least one slot 222; the outer surface of the first connecting part 110 also has a top surface, and the top surface of the first connecting part 110 is provided with at least one protrusion 116. By inserting the second connecting part 216 into the first connecting part 110, the slot 222 on the second connecting part 216 engages with the corresponding protrusion 116 on the first connecting part 110, thereby fixing the second connecting part 216 and the first connecting part 110, and thus fixing the water tank structure 20 to the main body 10 of the garment steamer, while simultaneously realizing the water outlet port. The connection between the outlet port 232 and the inlet port 112 enhances the stability of the water tank on the garment steamer, preventing the water tank from loosening and falling off during use. When water needs to be added to the water tank, the slot 222 of the second connecting part 216 is disengaged from the protrusion 116 of the first connecting part 110, and the second connecting part 216 is pulled out from the first connecting part 110, thereby removing the water tank structure 20 from the main body 10 of the garment steamer. At the same time, the connection between the outlet port 232 and the inlet port 112 is disconnected, which facilitates the addition of water to the disassembled water tank, simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, and improves the convenience of adding water to the water tank.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connection port 2162 is provided with a water outlet valve 238, and the water inlet port 112 is provided with a water inlet pipe 118; when the second connection part 216 is connected to the first connection part 110, the water inlet pipe 118 abuts against the water outlet valve 238 to conduct the water outlet valve 238, so that the water outlet port 232 is connected to the water inlet port 112.

[0060] Among them, the outlet valve 238 can be a normally closed water valve.

[0061] The water outlet valve 238 can be fixedly installed at the first connection port 2162. When the second connection part 216 is connected to the first connection part 110, the water inlet pipe 118 of the water inlet port 112 can abut against the water outlet valve 238 at the first connection port 2162, so that the water outlet valve 238 is open, and then the water outlet port 232 is connected to the water inlet port 112, so that the water inlet pipe 118 is connected to the inside of the water tank body 230, thereby driving the water in the water tank body 230 to enter the heating chamber of the main unit 10 through the water inlet pipe 118, and generating high-temperature steam by heating the water to iron and remove wrinkles from clothes. When the water tank structure 20 is removed from the main body 10 of the garment steamer, the water inlet pipe 118 is disconnected from the water outlet valve 238 on the first connection port 2162, causing the water outlet valve 238 to close, thereby preventing water in the main body 230 of the water tank from leaking out of the water outlet valve 238. At the same time, it is convenient to add water to the removed water tank, simplifying the water tank disassembly and assembly process and improving the convenience of adding water to the water tank.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water tank body 230 includes a connecting pipe 242; a second connecting post 244 is provided at the bottom of the water tank body 230, and the second connecting post 244 is provided with a water inlet notch 246, which connects to the inside of the water tank body 230; the first port of the connecting pipe 242 is connected to the water outlet port 232; the second port of the connecting pipe 242 is inserted into the second connecting post 244, and the water inlet notch 246 is connected to the water inlet pipe 118.

[0063] The connecting pipe 242 can be a flexible hose. For example, the first port of the connecting pipe 242 is inserted into the water outlet port 232, and the second port of the connecting pipe 242 is inserted into the second connecting post 244, thereby connecting the interior of the water tank body 230, the water inlet 246, the connecting pipe 242, and the water outlet port 232 in sequence. The second connecting post 244 can be a hollow structure. By setting the water inlet 246 on the second connecting post 244, when the second port of the connecting pipe 242 is inserted into the second connecting post 244, the water inlet 246 is connected to the connecting pipe 242, and at the same time, it serves to fix the second port of the connecting pipe 242.

[0064] By providing a second connecting post 244 at the bottom of the water tank body 230, when the garment steamer is started, the water in the water tank body 230 is driven to enter the heating chamber of the main body 10 through the water inlet 246, connecting pipe 242, water outlet 232 and water inlet 112 in sequence. The water is heated to generate high-temperature steam to iron and remove wrinkles from the clothes, while the water in the water tank body 230 is fully extracted.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the housing assembly 210 includes a first housing 212 and a second housing 214, the first housing 212 and the second housing 214 enclosing each other to form a receiving cavity 224; the first housing 212 and the second housing 214 are snapped together.

[0066] The first housing 212 and the second housing 214 can be plastic housings. The first housing 212 and the second housing 214 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​method. For example, a sealing ring is also provided between the first housing 212 and the second housing 214 to enhance the sealing effect between the first housing 212 and the second housing 214.
