Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam brush technology, specifically to a compact handheld steam brush. Background Technology

[0002] A steam brush is a highly efficient and multifunctional cleaning tool that uses high-temperature steam to sterilize and disinfect. It is widely used in daily life and can deeply clean dirt and mites in carpets and sofa crevices, making it especially suitable for families with infants or pets. It can also quickly iron out wrinkles in clothes, replacing traditional irons. For stubborn stains such as kitchen grease and bathroom mold, the steam brush can easily break them down, leaving no chemical residue and making it environmentally friendly.

[0003] For example, a steam brush disclosed in CN 208668111 U includes a steam brush body; the two ends of the steam brush body are an ironing part for spraying steam and a combing part for supporting and combing clothes, respectively, and a hand-held part is between the ironing part and the combing part; the combing part is configured as U-shaped.

[0004] However, when existing steam brushes are used with clothes hanging, the lack of support on the back of the clothes makes operation inconvenient, making it difficult to iron the clothes flat and affecting the ironing efficiency and effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a compact handheld steam brush.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0007] A compact handheld steam brush includes a housing, a steam output component is disposed inside the housing, and a water tank for supplying water to the steam output component is connected to the bottom of the housing.

[0008] The steam output assembly includes a mounting bracket, a steam generating unit disposed within the mounting bracket, and a steam outlet nozzle covering the output end of the housing. The steam outlet nozzle has a steam ejection hole for outputting steam and an adsorption hole for adsorbing clothing. The housing has an exhaust hole communicating with the adsorption hole. The bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with a suction channel communicating with the adsorption hole and the exhaust hole. The steam generating unit is covered with a heat insulation plate.

[0009] Preferably, the heat insulation plate is disposed between the upper end face of the housing and the steam generating unit, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion is formed on the steam outlet, and a snap-fit ​​groove is formed on the heat insulation plate for the snap-fit ​​protrusion to be inserted. Through the above improvements, the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove are used to cooperate, thereby ensuring the stability of the heat insulation plate installation and avoiding damage to the upper end face of the housing by the steam generating unit.

[0010] Preferably, the steam nozzle includes an output plate and a connecting plate. The steam ejection hole and the adsorption hole are formed on the output plate, and the adsorption hole is arranged around the outer periphery of the steam ejection hole. The connecting plate is covered on the output plate, so that the connecting plate and the output plate form a steam output chamber communicating with the steam ejection hole and a negative pressure suction chamber communicating with the adsorption hole. With the above improvements, during the ironing process, the steam generated by the steam generating unit can enter the steam output chamber and iron the clothes through the steam ejection hole. The adsorption hole arranged around the outer periphery of the steam ejection hole adsorbs the clothes, and there is no need to fix the clothes during the ironing process. Ironing can be done directly in a hanging state, which greatly improves the convenience of users during the ironing process.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting plate has a first connecting hole communicating with the steam output chamber and a second connecting hole communicating with the negative pressure suction chamber. The first connecting hole is connected to the output end of the steam generating unit, and the mounting bracket is provided with a suction unit. One end of the suction channel is connected to the suction unit, and the other end is connected to the second connecting hole. With the above improvements, during the ironing process, the steam generating unit delivers steam to the steam output chamber through the first connecting hole, and the suction unit can use the suction channel to extract air, so that a negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure suction chamber, thereby allowing the adsorption holes to adsorb the clothes, thereby improving ironing efficiency and ironing effect.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate has a connecting protrusion, and the output plate has a connecting groove for the connecting protrusion to be inserted. The connecting plate and the output plate are welded by induced welding. Through the above improvements, not only is the reliability of the connection between the connecting plate and the output plate improved, but the welding efficiency is also increased, making it more suitable for automated production.

[0013] Preferably, a first sealing ring is provided between the first connecting hole and the steam generating unit, and a first sealing groove is formed on the first connecting hole and the steam generating unit for the first sealing ring to be inserted. Through the above improvements, the sealing performance between the first connecting hole and the steam generating unit is greatly increased.

[0014] Preferably, a second sealing ring is provided between the second connecting hole and the suction channel, and a second sealing groove is formed on the suction channel for the second sealing ring to be inserted. The second connecting hole abuts against the second sealing ring. Through the above improvements, the sealing performance between the second connecting hole and the suction channel is greatly improved.

[0015] Preferably, the steam output chamber has an extended protrusion that connects to the steam ejection hole. Through the above improvements, steam will accumulate in the steam output chamber, preventing the steam from being directly discharged and causing the steam to carry too much moisture.

[0016] Preferably, the steam generating unit includes a heating body and a heating pipe inserted into the heating body. The heating body has a water inlet column connected to a water tank, and a heating channel communicating with a steam outlet is formed inside the heating body. A heat insulation column is formed at the bottom of the heating body, and a heat insulation protrusion connected to the heat insulation column is formed on the mounting bracket. Through the above improvements, not only is the installation stability of the steam generating unit improved, but the heat insulation effect is also increased.

[0017] Preferably, the length of the mounting bracket along the projection direction is A, and the range of A is 90mm-100mm. The distance between the heat insulation plate and the bottom of the mounting bracket is B, and the range of B is 35mm-55mm. Through the above improvements, the entire structure becomes more compact.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0019] Water is supplied to the steam-generating assembly via a water tank. The steam-generating assembly includes a mounting bracket, a steam generating unit housed within the mounting bracket, and a steam nozzle covering the output end of the housing. The steam nozzle has a steam outlet for steam emission and an adsorption hole for absorbing clothing. The housing has an exhaust hole communicating with the adsorption hole, and the steam generating unit is covered with a heat insulation plate. Steam is discharged through the exhaust hole to iron clothes. During ironing, the adsorption hole will adsorb the clothes, thus ensuring the ironing effect and quality of clothes in a hanging state. Furthermore, a suction channel is provided inside the housing to provide suction force through the exhaust hole, which requires the entire steam-generating assembly to move upward, bringing the steam generating unit closer to the upper part of the housing. The heat insulation plate on the steam generating unit can effectively insulate heat without increasing the volume of the housing, making the internal structure more compact.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0033] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a compact handheld steam brush includes a housing 1, a steam output component 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, and a water tank 3 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1 to supply water to the steam output component 2.

[0034] Specifically, the steam generating assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 1.1, a steam generating unit 1.2 disposed within the mounting bracket 1.1, and a steam outlet 1.3 covering the output end of the housing 1. The steam outlet 1.3 has a steam ejection hole 1.4 for steam emission and an adsorption hole 1.5 for adsorbing clothing. The housing 1 has an exhaust hole 1.6 communicating with the adsorption hole 1.5. The bottom of the mounting bracket 1.1 is provided with a suction channel 2.6 communicating with the adsorption hole 1.5 and the exhaust hole 1.6. The steam generating unit 1.2 is covered with a heat insulation plate 1.7.

[0035] Steam is released through the exhaust port 1.6 to iron clothes. During the ironing process, the suction port 1.5 will adhere to the clothes, thus ensuring the ironing effect and quality of the clothes in the hanging state. In addition, the exhaust port 1.6 needs to be set up in the housing 1 to provide a suction channel, which causes the entire steam generation component 2 to move upward in the housing 1, so that the steam generation unit 1.2 is closer to the upper part of the housing 1. A heat insulation plate 1.7 is provided on the steam generation unit 1.2, which can effectively insulate heat without increasing the volume of the housing 1, making the internal structure more compact.

[0036] Furthermore, the housing 1 includes an output section 5.1 for mounting the steam assembly 2, a water supply section 5.2 for mounting the water tank 3, and a handheld section 5.3 connecting the output section 5.1 and the water supply section 5.2. The handheld section 5.3 allows the entire steam brush to be held, improving ease of use. The length of the mounting bracket 1.1 along the projection direction is A, and the range of A is 90mm-100mm. The distance between the heat insulation plate 1.7 and the bottom of the mounting bracket 1.1 is B, and the range of B is 35mm-55mm, making the structure of the entire steam brush output section 5.1 more compact.

[0037] In addition, the steam generating unit 1.2 includes a heating body 4.1 and a heating pipe 4.2 inserted into the heating body 4.1. A water inlet column 4.3 connected to the water tank 3 is formed on the heating body 4.1. A heating channel 4.4 connected to the steam outlet hole 1.4 is formed on the heating body 4.1. A heat insulation column 4.5 is formed at the bottom of the heating body 4.1. A heat insulation protrusion 4.6 connected to the heat insulation column 4.5 is formed on the mounting bracket 1.1. This not only improves the stability of the installation of the steam generating unit 1.2, but also increases the heat insulation effect between it and the lower end face of the housing 1.

[0038] Preferably, the insulation board 1.7 is made of mica sheet, which has a better heat insulation effect.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, as a further explanation of the installation of the heat insulation plate 1.7, the heat insulation plate 1.7 is disposed between the upper end face of the housing 1 and the steam generating unit 1.2, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1.8 is formed on the steam outlet 1.3, and a snap-fit ​​groove 1.9 is formed on the heat insulation plate 1.7 for the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1.8 to be inserted. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 1.8 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1.9 are used to cooperate, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the heat insulation plate 1.7 and avoiding damage to the upper end face of the housing 1 by the steam generating unit 1.2.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a further explanation of the specific structure of the steam outlet 1.3 in this embodiment is provided. The steam outlet 1.3 includes an output plate 2.1 and a connecting plate 2.2. The steam ejection hole 1.4 and the adsorption hole 1.5 are formed on the output plate 2.1, and the adsorption hole 1.5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the steam ejection hole 1.4. The connecting plate 2.2 covers the output plate 2.1, so that the connecting plate 2.2 and the output plate 2.1 form a steam output chamber 2.3 communicating with the steam ejection hole 1.4 and a negative pressure suction chamber 2.4 communicating with the adsorption hole 1.5.

[0041] During the ironing process, the steam generated by the steam generating unit 1.2 can enter the steam output chamber 2.3 and iron the clothes through the steam nozzle 1.4. The adsorption hole 1.5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the steam nozzle 1.4 to adsorb the clothes, so there is no need to fix the clothes during the ironing process. The clothes can be ironed directly in a hanging state, which greatly improves the convenience of the user during the ironing process.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, a connecting protrusion 3.1 is formed on the connecting plate 2.2, and a connecting groove 3.2 for the connecting protrusion 3.1 to be inserted is formed on the output plate 2.1. The connecting plate 2.2 and the output plate 2.1 are welded by induced welding, which not only improves the reliability of the connection between the connecting plate 2.2 and the output plate 2.1, but also increases the welding efficiency and is more suitable for automated production.

[0043] In addition, the steam output chamber 2.3 has an extended protrusion 3.7 that connects to the steam ejection hole 1.4, so that steam will accumulate in the steam output chamber 2.3, preventing the steam from being discharged directly and causing the steam to carry too much moisture.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 8As shown, to further explain the connection between the steam output assembly 2 and the steam nozzle 1.3, the connecting plate 2.2 has a first connecting hole 2.7 that connects to the steam output chamber 2.3 and a second connecting hole 2.8 that connects to the negative pressure suction chamber 2.4. The first connecting hole 2.7 is connected to the output end of the steam generating unit 1.2, and the mounting bracket 1.1 is provided with a suction unit 2.5. One end of the suction channel 2.6 is connected to the suction unit 2.5, and the other end is connected to the second connecting hole 2.8. During ironing, the steam generating unit 1.2 delivers steam to the steam output chamber 2.3 through the first connecting hole 2.7, and the suction unit 2.5 can use the suction channel 2.6 to extract air, so that a negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure suction chamber 2.4, so that the adsorption hole 1.5 can adsorb the clothes, thereby improving ironing efficiency and ironing effect.

[0045] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 3.3 is provided between the first connecting hole 2.7 and the steam generating unit 1.2, and a first sealing groove 3.4 is formed on the first connecting hole 2.7 and the steam generating unit 1.2 for the first sealing ring 3.3 to be inserted, which greatly increases the sealing performance between the first connecting hole 2.7 and the steam generating unit 1.2.

[0046] In addition, a second sealing ring 3.5 is provided between the second connecting hole 2.8 and the suction channel 2.6, and a second sealing groove 3.6 is formed on the suction channel 2.6 for the second sealing ring 3.5 to be inserted. The second connecting hole 2.8 and the second sealing ring 3.5 abut against each other, which greatly improves the sealing performance between the second connecting hole 2.8 and the suction channel 2.6.

[0047] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
