[0032] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adsorption-type steam brush with a water tank, thereby reducing the overall size of the adsorption-type steam brush and meeting consumers' portability needs.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an adsorption-type steam brush with a water tank includes a housing 10, a steam generator 20, a handle 30, a water tank 40, and a water pump 50. The steam generator 20 is located inside the housing 10. One end of the handle 30 is detachably connected to the housing 10, and the other end of the handle 30 is provided with a first protrusion 31. The first protrusion 31 extends along the length of the handle 30. Figure 1Extending from the side away from the handle 30 in the X direction, the first protrusion 31 has an elastic buckle 32 on the side facing the outer casing 10. The water pump 50 is located inside the outer casing 10. The outlet of the water tank 40 is connected to the inlet of the steam generator 20 through the water pump 50. The water tank 40 is connected to the water pump 50 through the suction elbow 51. The bottom of the water tank 40 has a slot 12, and the elastic buckle 32 engages with the slot 12, making the installation of the water tank 40 more convenient. Along the length of the handle 30, the outer surface of the water tank 40 can abut against the side surface of the handle 30, promoting the integration of the water tank 40 and the handle 30, thereby reducing the volume of the adsorption steam brush. The first protrusion 31 is located at the bottom of the water tank 40, which can also play a role in fixing the water tank 40, preventing the water tank 40 from falling off due to the loose connection between the top of the water tank 40 and the suction elbow 51.

[0034] When the water tank 40 is installed on one side of the handle 30, first insert the upper end of the water tank 40 into the suction elbow 51, then push the lower end of the water tank 40 towards the side of the handle 30 with the first protrusion 31, so that the elastic buckle 32 on the first protrusion 31 engages with the slot 12 at the bottom of the water tank 40, thus completing the installation of the water tank 40 and making the water tank 40 securely fixed. When removing the water tank 40, first pull the bottom of the water tank 40 out from the elastic buckle 32 of the first protrusion 31, and then pull the water tank 40 diagonally downwards to remove it. The entire disassembly and assembly process is more convenient. Installing the water tank 40 on one side of the handle 30, together with the handle 30, serves as a grip, reducing the overall size of the adsorption steam brush, and also consolidating the center of gravity for easier grip and operation. This reduces the burden of using scattered parts, simplifies the overall structure, improves portability and operational coordination during use, meets consumers' demand for portability, and promotes the application of adsorption steam brushes in mobile scenarios.

[0035] Furthermore, the handle 30 has two spaced second protrusions 33 on the side facing the water tank 40. The two second protrusions 33 abut against the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of the water tank 40, which can securely fix the water tank 40 and prevent it from shifting or falling off due to shaking during equipment movement or use, ensuring a stable connection between the water tank 40 and the water suction elbow 51 and ensuring smooth water supply.

[0036] Furthermore, along the width direction of the handle 30 ( Figure 1 In the Y-direction, the side surfaces of the two second protrusions 33 on opposite sides are flush with the outer surface of the handle 30 and smoothly connected to the outer surface of the water tank 40, improving the overall consistency between the handle 30 and the water tank 40 and making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing. In other embodiments, the surfaces of the two second protrusions 33 may be lower than or higher than the outer surface of the handle 30.

[0037] Optionally, the adsorption-type steam brush also includes a steam plate 60, which is sealed to the steam generator 20 to provide a flat contact surface for ironing, allowing the steam to adhere more closely to the clothing to efficiently soften the fibers, help smooth wrinkles, and avoid local overheating that could damage the fabric. The steam plate 60 is provided with steam holes 61, which are connected to the steam outlet of the steam generator 20 to evenly and directionally guide the steam delivered by the steam generator 20 to the surface of the clothing, ensuring that the steam acts efficiently on the fibers to soften wrinkles, while avoiding waste or local overheating caused by disordered steam diffusion.

[0038] Optionally, the adsorption-type steam brush also includes an air inlet plate 70, which surrounds the steam plate 60 and is detachably connected to the outer casing 10. The air inlet plate 70 has an air inlet hole 71, and the outer casing 10 has an air outlet hole 11. The air inlet hole 71 and the air outlet hole 11 communicate with each other. Outside air is drawn in through the air inlet hole 71, mixed with steam to regulate the temperature and prevent scalding of clothes, and exhausted through the air outlet hole 11. Simultaneously, the airflow is supplemented to enhance the steam jet force, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the clothing surface to improve ironing efficiency. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the air inlet plate 70 and the outer casing 10 facilitates disassembly and cleaning of the air inlet plate 70 and any accumulated dust or debris inside, preventing blockages that could affect airflow efficiency. It also facilitates maintenance of internal components and extends the equipment's lifespan. In this embodiment, the air inlet plate 70 is magnetically fixed to the housing 10. In other embodiments, the air inlet plate 70 and the housing 10 can also be fixed by snapping together with the buckle and the slot 12 or by clamping together with the clamping structure.

[0039] Optionally, the adsorption-type steam brush also includes a motor 80 and a fan (not shown in the figure). The output end of the motor 80 is connected to the input end of the fan. The housing 10 has an air inlet channel and an air outlet channel. The air inlet 71 is connected to the air inlet of the fan through the air inlet channel, and the air outlet 11 is connected to the air outlet of the fan through the air outlet channel. The motor 80 is used to connect to an external power source. The motor 80 drives the fan to operate, drawing in air and enhancing the steam jet force, while also assisting in the airflow circulation of the air inlet and outlet channels, thereby improving steam output efficiency and the drying speed of clothes.

[0040] Optionally, the adsorption-type steam brush also includes a mounting base 90, which is connected to the side of the handle 30 away from the outer casing 10. This mounting base 90 can securely hold the steam nozzle or other accessories, preventing damage caused by careless placement of accessories during use, and improving the convenience of accessing accessories during operation.

[0041] Optionally, the handle 30 is provided with a grip hole 34, the grip hole 34 being along the height direction of the handle 30. Figure 1Extending in the Z direction, the oval-shaped grip hole 34 makes it easier for the operator to insert four fingers. The side wall of the grip hole 34 smoothly transitions with the side surface of the handle 30, avoiding the sharp edges at the connection point from scratching the operator and improving the safety of using the adsorption steam brush.

[0042] Optionally, the suction elbow 51 includes an interconnected rigid pipe section and a flexible pipe section. The rigid pipe section is connected to the suction port of the water pump 50, ensuring a stable water flow and preventing water supply interruptions caused by the easy bending of the flexible pipe. It also reduces pipe deformation caused by water flow impact, ensuring the pumping efficiency and continuous water supply of the water pump 50. The flexible pipe section is connected to the outlet of the water tank 40, flexibly adapting to changes in water level and displacement during assembly and disassembly. This avoids stress damage that can easily occur with rigid connections and facilitates the internal piping layout of the water tank 40, improving the ease of assembly between the water tank 40 and the suction elbow 51.

[0043] Furthermore, the outer casing 10 has a groove, and the handle 30 has a buckle. The buckle engages with the groove to achieve a detachable connection between the outer casing 10 and the handle 30. This facilitates storage, reduces space occupation, makes it easy to carry, and also allows for individual replacement of the handle 30 if it is damaged, reducing maintenance costs. In other embodiments, the outer casing 10 and the handle 30 can also be fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
