[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0025] As shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 9 The water tank assembly of the utility model, including water tank body 1 and sealing piece 2, is provided with handle 3 at one end of water tank body 1 for grabbing, facilitating the taking and use of the garment steamer 4. Switch 5 is arranged on handle 3, and electric wire 6 is arranged at the tail part.

[0026] The inside of water tank body 1 is hollowed out to form water storage chamber 7 for storing the water source for generating steam. Air is introduced through air inlet pipe 8, so that the air pressure inside water tank body 1 is consistent with the outside.

[0027] Sealing piece 2 is arranged on water tank body 1, and mounting groove 9 cooperating with sealing piece 2 is arranged on water tank body 1. Positioning protrusion 10 is arranged at one side of the lower end of sealing piece 2, and sealing protrusion 11 is arranged at the other end. Positioning recess 12 cooperating with positioning protrusion 10 is arranged in mounting groove 9. Positioning protrusion 10 and positioning recess 12 position and mount sealing piece 2, so that the one end of sealing piece 2 with positioning protrusion 10 cannot be lifted up, and the one end with sealing protrusion 11 can be lifted up, facilitating the water adding of water tank body 1. Water filling hole 13 cooperating with sealing protrusion 11 is arranged in mounting groove 9.

[0028] Air inlet pipe 8 is arranged on sealing piece 2, and elastic piece 14 is arranged on air inlet pipe 8. Air inlet sleeve 15 is inserted between elastic piece 14 and air inlet pipe 8. The position of air inlet pipe 8 is limited by elastic piece 14, so that the sealing of water tank body 1 is realized when air inlet sleeve 15 is not pulled up, and the communication between the outside air and the inside of water tank body 1 is realized when air inlet sleeve 15 is pulled up, realizing the consistency of air pressure.

[0029] Air inlet pipe 8 is composed of first pipe body 16 and second pipe body 17. Second pipe body 17 is arranged at the upper end of first pipe body 16. Support surface 18 is formed at the connection part of first pipe body 16 and second pipe body 17. Inner ring 20 of air inlet sleeve 15 is arranged on support surface 18. Air inlet hole 19 is formed in the middle of first pipe body 16 and second pipe body 17. Air inlet hole 19 communicates with the inside of water storage chamber 7. The diameter of first pipe body 16 is larger than that of second pipe body 17. Lower end of air inlet hole 19 is provided with connecting hole 191. Connecting hole 191 is in the middle of sealing protrusion 11. Connecting hole 191 communicates with water storage chamber 7.

[0030] First penetrating hole 21 is arranged on second pipe body 17. First penetrating hole 21 communicates with air inlet hole 19.

[0031] The first tube body 16 is provided with an installation ring groove 22, and the elastic element 14 is disposed in the installation ring groove 22.

[0032] The elastic element 14 consists of an arc-shaped segment 23 and multiple extension segments 24, a transverse segment 25, a first inclined segment 26, a C-shaped segment 27, a second inclined segment 28, and a guide segment 29 disposed on the arc-shaped segment 23. A compression region 30 is formed in the middle of the C-shaped segment 27. The arc-shaped segment 23 is fitted into the mounting ring groove 22. The arc-shaped segment 23 is provided with a break 31, which allows the arc-shaped segment 23 to be stretched and deformed, thereby installing it into the mounting ring groove 22. Of course, a limiting body that mates with the break 31 can be provided in the mounting ring groove 22 to prevent the elastic element 14 from rotating within the mounting ring groove 22.

[0033] The guide section 29 guides the inner ring 20, so that the C-shaped section 27 first enters the second through hole 32, and then enters the sink 33.

[0034] The intake sleeve 15 is provided with a rod 151. The intake sleeve 15 is composed of an inner ring 20 and an outer ring 34. An insertion hole 35 is formed in the middle of the inner ring 20 to cooperate with the second tube 17. A communicating chamber 36 is formed between the inner ring 20 and the outer ring 34. The inner ring 20 is provided with multiple grooves 33 and a second through hole 32. When the second through hole 32 is connected to the first through hole 21, the intake hole 19 is connected to the communicating chamber 36 through the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 32. The thickness of the groove 33 is half the thickness of the second through hole 32.

[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, the air inlet sleeve 15 is not pulled upwards at this time, so the C-shaped section 27 is in the sink 33, and the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 32 are not connected. The air inlet sleeve 15 seals the air inlet pipe 8. Even if the garment steamer 4 is started and the water pump starts working, because the inside of the water tank 1 is sealed, no gas enters, and the internal and external air pressure of the water tank 1 cannot be balanced, so the power will be automatically disconnected and the garment steamer will not start working. When it is necessary to stop the garment steaming quickly, the air inlet sleeve 15 can be quickly pushed downwards to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the water tank 1, thereby quickly disconnecting the power of the garment steamer 4. At this time, the bottom of the outer ring 34 is exactly placed on the upper surface of the seal 2. If the air inlet sleeve 15 is pulled upwards, the outer ring 34 can be separated from the seal 2, so that the connecting chamber 36 can be connected to the external gas.

[0036] A traction belt 37 is provided at one end near the sealing protrusion 11. When water is added, the traction belt 37 can be pulled up, thereby separating the sealing protrusion 11 from the water inlet 13.

[0037] A handheld garment steamer 4 uses the aforementioned water tank assembly.

[0038] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
