Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and in particular to a heater system for garment steamers. Background Technology

[0002] A garment steamer, also called a hanging iron or standing iron, is a machine that allows you to iron clothes and fabrics while they are hanging. The steamer works by continuously contacting the clothes and fabrics with hot steam generated inside, softening the fibers and smoothing them through "pulling," "pressing," and "spraying" motions, leaving the clothes and fabrics looking brand new.

[0003] Currently, the heat exchange water path of the small steam heater in garment steamers on the market is usually a cavity formed between the tank and the smooth, straight-walled heat exchanger. This results in a short heat exchange water path and a small heat exchange area, leading to disadvantages such as low energy efficiency and low steam output. In addition, impurities in the water will form scale while the water is heated to produce steam. The scale adheres to the inner wall of the tank, clogging the tank, reducing water capacity, reducing steam production, and shortening the service life of the garment steamer. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a garment steamer heater system.

[0019] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the garment steamer heater system provided by this utility model; Figure 2 This is an exploded structural diagram of the present invention; Figure 3 For the present utility model Figure 2 An enlarged structural diagram at point A shows: a base 1, a heating tank 2, a heating structure 3, and a filter structure 8. The heating tank 2 is mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The heating structure 3 is located inside the heating tank 2. The heating structure 3 includes a heat-conducting plate 4, an electric heating tube 5, and heat-conducting fins 6. The heat-conducting plate 4 has a cavity inside, and the electric heating tube 5 is installed inside the cavity. The outer surface of the electric heating tube 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity of the heat-conducting plate 4. Several sets of heat-conducting fins 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate 4. When the electric heating tube 5 is connected to a power source, it continuously heats the heat-conducting plate 4. After the heat-conducting plate 4 heats up, it transfers the heat to the heat-conducting fins 6. The heat-conducting fins 6 are made of copper, a material with good thermal conductivity. The heat-conducting fins 6 increase the heat exchange area with the water inside the heating tank 2, which accelerates the heating speed of the water and makes the water heat up quickly, thus speeding up the generation of steam.

[0020] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper surfaces of both ends of the base 1 are respectively provided with fixing threaded holes, which facilitates the installation of the base 1 inside the garment steamer. Two sets of through holes are provided between the two sets of fixing threaded holes on the upper surface of the base 1.

[0021] The heating tank 2 has an installation hole on its upper surface, and an exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly connected inside the installation hole. The exhaust pipe 11 is connected to the interior of the heating tank 2. The heating tank 2 has two sets of through holes on its lower surface, which correspond to the two sets of through holes on the upper surface of the base 1. The lower end of the heating tank 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The lower end of the heating tank 2 has a through hole on its outer surface. The end of the connecting pipe 7 away from the filter structure 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole on the outer surface of the heating tank 2. The connecting pipe 7 is connected to the interior of the heating tank 2.

[0022] The heat-conducting plate 4 has two sets of through holes on its lower surface, which correspond to the two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heating tank 2. The heat-conducting plate 4 is made of copper, a material with good thermal conductivity.

[0023] The filter tank 9 has through holes at both ends. The end of the connecting pipe 7 away from the heating tank 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole at the end of the filter tank 9 closest to the heating tank 2. The connecting pipe 7 is interconnected with the interior of the filter tank 9. The filter element 10 has a connecting hole at one end. A water supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected inside the connecting hole at one end of the filter element 10. The end of the water supply pipe 12 away from the filter element 10 passes through the through hole at the end of the filter tank 9 away from the heating tank 2 and extends to the outer surface of the filter tank 9. The outer surface of the water supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole at one end of the filter tank 9. The water supply pipe 12 is connected to an external water pump. The water pump is started to draw water and deliver it to the filter element 10 through the water supply pipe 12. After being filtered by the filter element 10, the water enters the interior of the filter tank 9 and flows into the interior of the connecting pipe 7 through the filter tank 9. Finally, the water enters the interior of the heating tank 2 through the connecting pipe 7.

[0024] The electric heating tube 5 extends through two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 4, two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heating tank 2, and two sets of through holes on the upper surface of the base 1, reaching the lower surface of the base 1. The outer surfaces of both ends of the electric heating tube 5 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 4, two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heating tank 2, and two sets of through holes on the upper surface of the base 1. The two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 4, two sets of through holes on the lower surface of the heating tank 2, and two sets of through holes on the upper surface of the base 1 facilitate the installation of the electric heating tube 5. The electric heating tube 5 is electrically connected to an external power source.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator first connects the water supply pipe 12 to an external water pump, starts the water pump to draw water through the water supply pipe 12 and deliver it to the filter element 10. After the water is filtered by the filter element 10, it enters the filter tank 9 and flows into the connecting pipe 7. Through the connecting pipe 7, it enters the heating tank 2. The operator connects the electric heating tube 5 to the power supply. The electric heating tube 5 continuously heats the heat conduction plate 4. After the heat conduction plate 4 heats up, it transfers the heat to the heat conduction fins 6. The heat conduction fins 6 increase the heat exchange area with the water inside the heating tank 2, which accelerates the heating speed of the water, making the water heat up quickly and accelerating the generation of steam. The generated steam is discharged from the exhaust pipe 11.
