[0021] Figure 6This is an enlarged view of embodiment A of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1-6 This handheld garment steamer with switchable water tanks includes a main body 1 and a water tank assembly. The main body 1 is equipped with a water inlet 11. The water tank assembly includes a first water tank 21 and a second water tank 22. The first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 can be selectively connected to the water inlet 11 and are detachable from each other. The first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 can serve as backups for each other. When the handheld garment steamer has a large water demand, the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 can be replaced in time, thereby increasing the overall maximum water storage capacity of the handheld garment steamer. When in use, both the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 can be filled with water. For example, the first water tank 21 can be connected to the water inlet 11 first, and the first water tank 21 can be directly replaced after the water in the first water tank 21 is used up, without waiting for the first water tank 21 to be refilled. This eliminates the need to refill the water tank when processing a relatively large number of garments, thus improving the efficiency of garment processing.

[0024] Of course, the water tank assembly may also include more independent water tank units. The inclusion of a first water tank 21 and a second water tank 22 in the water tank assembly does not limit the water tank assembly to having only two water tank units.

[0025] Furthermore, the water storage capacity of the first water tank 21 is greater than that of the second water tank 22. The first water tank 21 includes a first tank body 211 and a support part 212. The first tank body 211 is connected and cooperates with the water inlet interface 11. The support part 212 is located on the side of the first tank body 211 facing away from the water inlet interface 11. The width of the support part 212 is greater than the width of the first tank body 211. The first tank body 211 can stand upright vertically through the support part 212. When the first water tank 21 is connected and cooperates with the water inlet interface 11, the handheld garment steamer can also be placed on a flat surface in an upright state through the support part 212. When the handheld garment steamer is upright, it will not continue to iron clothes, and at the same time, it can make it easier for the user to take it out and put it down.

[0026] Furthermore, the second water tank 22 includes a second tank body 221. The first tank body 211 and the second tank body 221 have similar shapes. The garment steamer body 1 is connected to a handle 3. The handle 3 is provided with a water tank slot 31 corresponding to the first tank body 211 or the second tank body 221. The water inlet 11 is set in the water tank slot 31. The first tank body 211 and the second tank body 221 can be inserted into the water tank slot 31 and connected to the water inlet 11. The water tank slot 31 can limit the position of the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22, improving the stability of the first water tank 21 or the second water tank 22 in the vertical connection with the garment steamer body 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner side of the support portion 212 is hollow, which can better utilize the internal space of the first water tank 21 and increase the water storage capacity of the first water tank 21.

[0028] The support 212 is connected to a first tank cover 213 that can be detached from the water inlet 11 on the side opposite to the support 212, and the second tank body 221 is connected to a second tank cover 222 that can be detached from the support 221 on the side opposite to the water inlet 11, so that users can easily add water to the first water tank 21 or the second water tank 22.

[0029] Furthermore, the water tank slot 31 is provided with an anti-detachment buckle 311, and the first tank body 211 and the second tank body 221 are respectively provided with anti-detachment slots 23 corresponding to the anti-detachment buckle 311. The anti-detachment buckle 311 can be elastically reset, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 and the water tank slot 31, and reduce the chance of the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 accidentally falling off during use.

[0030] The anti-detachment buckle 311 is inclined toward the anti-detachment slot 23 on the side facing away from the water inlet 11 and the side facing away from the water tank assembly, respectively, so that the first water tank 21 or the second water tank 22 can be inserted into or pulled out of the water tank slot 31 more smoothly.

[0031] Furthermore, the water tank slot 31 is provided with a wire channel 312, and the main body 1 of the garment steamer has an electrical cavity. The electrical cavity is connected to the outside through the wire channel 312, which can better utilize the space of the handle 3 to realize the layout of the wire and avoid interference between the wire and the water tank assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, the wire channel 312 protrudes towards one side of the water tank assembly, and the first tank body 211 and the second tank body 221 are respectively provided with relief recesses 24 corresponding to the shape of the wire channel 312. The wire channel 312 and the relief recesses 24 are respectively extended along the length direction of the water tank slot 31. The wire channel 312 and the relief recesses 24 can also guide the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 into the water tank slot 31, improve the installation accuracy of the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 with the water tank slot 31, and reduce the chance that the first water tank 21 and the second water tank 22 cannot be aligned with the water inlet interface 11.

[0033] Furthermore, an ironing head 4 is provided on the lower side of the garment steamer body 1. A detachable hanging bracket 5 is provided on the outer side of the ironing head 4. The hanging bracket 5 has an embedded cavity 51 corresponding to the ironing head 4. The hanging bracket 5 is connected to a wall-mounting part 52 that allows the hanging bracket 5 to be suspended on the wall. The ironing head 4 and the embedded cavity 51 are connected and cooperate to allow the garment steamer body 1 to be suspended on the wall, which facilitates the wall-mounting effect of the handheld garment steamer and gives the handheld garment steamer more different placement postures.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
