Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a hair steamer and garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] A garment steamer consists of a water tank, an ironing board, a heating element, and a handle. The ironing board has multiple holes on its surface for releasing steam. The operating temperature is typically above 100 degrees Celsius, with the temperature near the steam holes exceeding that of the ironing board, usually reaching 120-150 degrees Celsius.

[0003] Portable garment steamers feature a small water tank and ironing board, making them compact and easy to carry. However, because they are frequently used while traveling, they are often placed in luggage alongside clothing in close contact. If the ironing board is not cooled to a suitable temperature, excessively high temperatures can burn the skin, damage clothing, and even cause serious problems such as fires. Due to the time required for heat conduction, uneven heating can occur during heating and cooling, influenced by environmental factors. Often, the temperature near the steam vents will be higher than the ironing board itself. Even after use, when the ironing board and edges cool down, the localized high temperature near the steam vents can still cause burns.

[0004] Garment steamers typically display temperature via indicator lights or a screen, showing the heating process through numbers or graphics. However, the temperature display stops after operation, when the machine is turned off, or when the power is disconnected. The cooling process relies solely on heat exchange with the ambient air, which is lengthy and difficult to observe directly, often requiring manual testing, which can lead to burns or be time-consuming. Furthermore, products with heat-sensitive color-changing coatings printed or sprayed on the ironing board are prone to wear and tear due to frequent contact and friction between the steamer head and clothing. This reduces the coating's effectiveness, and once the color-changing coating completely peels off, the steamer head cannot be replaced, thus losing its temperature change indicator function and shortening the garment steamer's lifespan.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a hair-steaming and garment steamer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] This embodiment provides a steam iron head that uses the steam perforation plate as an independent component to solve the problem that the steam iron head cannot be replaced due to the peeling of the discolored coating, thus losing its temperature reminder function.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, an ironing head 100 includes an ironing plate 110, a steam perforation plate 120, and a heating element 130. The ironing plate 110 has at least two first steam holes 111 for transmitting steam. The steam perforation plate 120 is a separate component, detachably connected to the ironing plate 110. The steam perforation plate 120 has second steam holes 121, the number of which is equal to the number of the first steam holes 111 and they are connected one-to-one. At least part of the steam perforation plate 120 is made of a thermochromic material to provide a high-temperature warning. The heating element 130 is detachably connected to the ironing plate 110. The heating element 130 has a water storage chamber inside, and the outlet of the water storage chamber is connected to the first steam holes 111. The heating element 130 is used to electrically connect to an external power source to heat the water storage chamber. The heated steam passes sequentially through the outlet of the water storage chamber, the first steam holes 111, and the second steam holes 121.

[0038] The temperature-sensitive color-changing material on the steam perforation plate 120 displays the temperature near the higher-temperature second steam hole 121, reminding the user to avoid touching the high-temperature component and to avoid contact with other clothing. This provides a clear indication and warning. Even after the steamer is turned off or the power is cut off, the steam perforation plate 120 still serves as a warning of the ironing plate 110's temperature, further reducing the risk of burns. The steam perforation plate 120 is detachably connected to the ironing plate 110, allowing it to be used as a consumable and preventing wear from affecting its color-changing effect, thus extending the lifespan of the ironing head 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are 7 first steam holes 111 and 7 second steam holes 121. In other embodiments, there are 2, 5 or 9 first steam holes 111 and 7 second steam holes 121.

[0040] Furthermore, the ironing head 100 also includes a bolt. The steam perforation plate 120 has a through hole 122, the ironing plate 110 has a first threaded hole 112, and the heating element 130 has a second threaded hole 131. The bolt passes through the through hole 122 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 112 and the second threaded hole 131, thereby connecting the steam perforation plate 120, the ironing plate 110, and the heating element 130. In other embodiments, the steam perforation plate 120 and the ironing plate 110 can also be fixed by magnetic attraction or by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0041] Furthermore, the number of bolts is at least two, and the at least two bolts are evenly distributed along the circumference of the steam perforation plate 120 to improve the stability of the connection between the steam perforation plate 120, the ironing plate 110, and the heating element 130. In this embodiment, the number of bolts is 2; in other embodiments, the number of bolts can also be 3, 4, or 5, etc.

[0042] Optionally, the steam perforation plate 120 is made of a high-temperature resistant material, and a thermochromic layer is provided on the side of the steam perforation plate 120 facing away from the ironing board 110 to enable the steam perforation plate 120 to detect the steam temperature. In other embodiments, the steam perforation plate 120 is made of a thermochromic material. In this embodiment, the steam perforation plate 120 is made of stainless steel; in other embodiments, the steam perforation plate 120 is made of aluminum alloy or ceramic materials. In this embodiment, the thermochromic layer is sprayed onto one side of the steam perforation plate 120; in other embodiments, the thermochromic layer is adhered to or fused to one side of the steam perforation plate 120.

[0043] Furthermore, the ironing plate 110 is provided with a first groove 113, and the steam perforated plate 120 abuts against the bottom of the first groove 113, which improves the stability of the connection between the steam perforated plate 120 and the ironing plate 110, limits the steam perforated plate 120, and prevents the steam perforated plate 120 from shifting during use.

[0044] Furthermore, the depth of the first groove 113 is greater than the thickness of the steam perforation plate 120, so that the outer surface of the steam perforation plate 120 is lower than the surface of the ironing plate 110, further reducing the wear of the temperature-sensitive color-changing layer during daily use and improving the service life of the steam perforation plate 120.

[0045] Optionally, the steamer head 100 also includes a silicone pad 140, which is sandwiched between the heating element 130 and the ironing plate 110. The silicone pad 140 has a steam channel 141, and the outlet of the water storage chamber is connected to the first steam hole 111 through the steam channel 141. The number of steam channels 141 is equal to the number of the first steam holes 111, and they are connected one-to-one. The high-temperature resistant sealing property of the silicone pad 140 prevents steam leakage, reducing the operating cost of the garment steamer. Furthermore, the heat insulation property of the silicone pad 140 prevents the ironing plate 110 from overheating and burning clothes or the user. Simultaneously, the elastic cushioning of the silicone pad 140 reduces vibration and wear between the ironing plate 110 and the heating element 130, ensuring the safety and durability of the steamer head 100. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the steam channel 141 passes through the first steam hole 111 and abuts against the wall of the second steam hole 121. In other embodiments, the outer wall of the steam channel 141 abuts against the wall of the first steam hole 111.

[0046] Furthermore, a second groove 132 is provided on the side of the heating element 130 facing the ironing board 110. The side surface of the silicone pad 140 is in contact with the groove wall of the second groove 132. The silicone pad 140 is positioned and fixed by the second groove 132 to avoid the reduction of sealing and heat insulation effect due to displacement of the silicone pad 140. In addition, by the silicone pad 140 being in contact with the heating element 130, the steam sealing effect and heat insulation efficiency of the silicone pad 140 are further improved. At the same time, the silicone pad 140 is also prevented from directly contacting clothing or the outside, thus extending the service life of the silicone pad 140.

[0047] Optionally, at least two first steam holes 111 are evenly distributed at intervals, allowing steam to fully and evenly cover the contact surface of the ironing board 110, avoiding uneven ironing caused by insufficient steam in certain areas, and ensuring that all areas of the garment are effectively penetrated by high-temperature steam, achieving smoothing, wrinkle removal, and uniform sterilization. Furthermore, to match the high-frequency use of the central main ironing area and the location of the main steam channel in the water storage chamber, by increasing the steam output in this area and reducing steam loss, the heavily wrinkled areas in the middle of the garment are efficiently removed. Simultaneously, to accommodate the low-steam-volume shaping needs of the edge areas, one of the at least two first steam holes 111 is located at the center of the ironing board 110, and the diameter of the first steam hole 111 located at the center of the ironing board 110 is larger than the diameters of the other first steam holes 111. It should be noted that, to accommodate the first steam hole 111, the diameter of the second steam hole 121 located in the middle position is larger than the diameters of the other second steam holes 121, and the diameter of the steam channel 141 located in the middle position is larger than the diameters of the other steam channels 141.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a garment steamer, which uses the steam perforated plate 120 as an independent component to solve the problem that the steam head 100 cannot be replaced due to the peeling of the discolored coating and thus loses its temperature reminder function, thereby improving the service life of the garment steamer.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a garment steamer includes a handle 200 and an ironing head 100. A heating element 130 is detachably connected to the handle 200. A steam perforation plate 120 with a stable color-changing function is used as a consumable on the ironing head 100, increasing its service life and thus the overall service life of the garment steamer. In this embodiment, the handle 200 has a buckle, and the heating element 130 has a slot; the buckle and slot engage in a locking mechanism. In other embodiments, the heating element 130 and the handle 200 are connected by connecting bolts or by magnetic attraction.
