Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a garment steamer with independent steam and adsorption channels. Background Technology

[0002] Garment steamers soften clothing fibers and quickly remove wrinkles by spraying high-temperature steam. Compared to traditional irons, they eliminate the need to lay clothes flat on an ironing board; they can be operated directly while the garment is hanging, making them convenient and quick. They are suitable for various easily wrinkled garments such as shirts, dresses, and suits. For example, if you find your shirt wrinkled before rushing out the door, a quick ironing with a garment steamer will restore its smoothness and crispness.

[0003] In the prior art, an ironing machine with patent publication number CN222847065U includes a housing, a water tank, a steam generator, and a working part. The housing has an air outlet, the water tank is connected to the housing, the steam generator is located inside the housing, and the water tank provides water to the steam generator. The working part is connected to the housing and includes a heat-spreading component and a suction component. The heat-spreading component has a heat-spreading surface, and the suction component has a suction surface. The heat-spreading component is connected to the steam generator, and the steam generator and the heat-spreading component define a steam return chamber. The suction component is sleeved around the heat-spreading component.

[0004] In actual use, because the air intake is wrapped around the steam outlet and there is no effective isolation structure between the air intake and the steam generator, some steam is directly sucked in by the air intake before it comes into contact with the surface of the clothes to be ironed in the initial stage of being sprayed out of the steam outlet. This not only greatly reduces the amount of effective steam that actually acts on the surface of the clothes, but also results in ineffective waste. In addition, the small amount of steam is usually not enough to soften the clothing fibers, which ultimately makes it difficult to completely eliminate wrinkles and achieve the expected smoothness. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a garment steamer with independent steam and adsorption channels, which can effectively solve the problem that in the existing technology, some steam is directly sucked into the suction component before it comes into contact with the surface of the clothes to be ironed in the initial stage of being ejected from the steam outlet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a garment steamer with independent steam and adsorption channels, including a garment steamer body, a support component, and a steam outlet component disposed in the inner cavity of the support component for generating hot steam.

[0008] The load-bearing component includes an integrally formed grip rod, a mounting shell, a connecting tube, and a cover plate that is bolted to the outer end face of the mounting shell;

[0009] The adsorption mechanism includes a flow guiding component for providing an airflow channel for the connecting tube, and a driving component disposed inside the flow guiding component for generating adsorption force.

[0010] The flow guiding assembly includes multiple air inlet slots formed on the surface of the cover plate, exhaust slots formed on both sides of the connecting pipe and used in conjunction with the air inlet slots, and a partition plate fixedly installed on the inner surface of the connecting pipe.

[0011] The connecting pipe is an independent channel for guiding airflow through the exhaust groove, and the exhaust groove can be opened at any point on the surface of the connecting pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the air intake slots are provided in three sets, all located near the lower surface of the cover plate. The baffle is used to precisely guide the airflow entering the connecting pipe through the air intake slots to the exhaust slots.

[0013] Furthermore, the steam outlet assembly includes a water tank bolted to the bottom of the grip rod, an evaporator adapted to be installed in the inner cavity of the mounting housing and used in conjunction with the water tank, an exhaust port opened on the surface of the cover plate for discharging hot steam, and a circuit board fixedly installed on the inner wall of the grip rod and used in conjunction with the evaporator.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the water tank is connected to the evaporator via a water pipe, and the evaporator and the exhaust port are electrically connected.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a brushless motor adapted to be installed in the inner cavity of the partition, and an impeller fixedly connected to the output end of the brushless motor via a coupling.

[0016] Furthermore, when the brushless motor drives the impeller to rotate, it can generate airflow from the air inlet slot to the air outlet slot, thereby making the clothes stick tightly to the surface of the cover plate, so as to facilitate ironing with one hand.

[0017] Furthermore, the partition is used to isolate the mounting shell and the connecting pipe, thereby preventing the hot steam ejected from the evaporator from being directly absorbed by the impeller, which would reduce the ironing effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the exhaust port is round, and the air intake groove is elongated, and the two are arranged in a horizontal array on the upper and lower sides of the cover plate.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0020] This invention, through the cooperation of various components in the garment steamer body and the adsorption mechanism, not only generates adsorption airflow by driving the impeller to rotate through the brushless motor when the evaporator produces hot steam, ensuring that the clothes are tightly attached to the surface of the cover plate, so as to facilitate one-handed operation by the user, but also uses a partition to isolate the evaporator and the impeller, preventing hot steam from being sucked into the adsorption airflow before it comes into contact with the clothes, so as to achieve the effect of ensuring sufficient hot steam to fully soften the fibers while maintaining stable ironing stability with one hand.

[0021] By clearly defining the exhaust channel, it can be flexibly set at any suitable position on the surface of the connecting pipe according to the structure of the connecting pipe, the size of the equipment, and the airflow efficiency, without being limited to a fixed exhaust position. This not only ensures the flexibility of the exhaust channel position design, but also allows for the adaptation to garment steamers of different shapes or sizes by changing the position of the exhaust channel, thereby optimizing the airflow circulation path and ensuring that the clothes adhere tightly to the surface of the cover plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] Example 1: Garment steamer with independent steam and adsorption channels, see attached diagram. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 ,include,

[0031] The garment steamer body 100 includes a support component 110 and a steam outlet component 120 disposed in the inner cavity of the support component 110 and used to generate hot steam.

[0032] The load-bearing assembly 110 includes an integrally formed gripping rod 111, a mounting shell 112, a connecting tube 113, and a cover plate 114 bolted to the outer end face of the mounting shell 112.

[0033] It should be noted that the grip rod 111 is used to provide a gripping operation part for the user, and the mounting shell 112 is used to provide an installation position and a closed heating space for the evaporator 122 to prevent heat loss during the heating process.

[0034] The adsorption mechanism 200 includes a flow guiding component 210 for providing an airflow channel for the connecting tube 113, and a drive component 220 disposed inside the flow guiding component 210 for generating adsorption force.

[0035] The flow guiding assembly 210 includes multiple air inlet slots 211 formed on the surface of the cover plate 114, exhaust slots 212 formed on both sides of the connecting pipe 113 and used in conjunction with the air inlet slots 211, and a partition plate 213 fixedly installed on the inner surface of the connecting pipe 113.

[0036] The connecting pipe 113 is an independent channel for guiding airflow through the exhaust groove 212, which can be located at any point on the surface of the connecting pipe 113.

[0037] Specifically, the air intake slots 211 are provided in three sets, all located below the surface of the cover plate 114. The baffle plate 213 is used to precisely guide the airflow entering the connecting pipe 113 through the air intake slots 211 to the exhaust slots 212.

[0038] It should be noted that the connecting pipe 113 is used to receive the airflow entering from the air inlet slot 211 and guide the airflow through the internal space of the partition 213 to the exhaust slot 212 and discharge it, forming a stable airflow circulation. The air inlet slot 211 is used to provide an input channel for the airflow that adsorbs clothing.

[0039] Furthermore, the steam outlet assembly 120 includes a water tank 121 bolted to the bottom of the grip rod 111, an evaporator 122 adapted to be installed in the inner cavity of the mounting housing 112 and used in conjunction with the water tank 121, an exhaust port 123 opened on the surface of the cover plate 114 for discharging hot steam, and a circuit board 124 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the grip rod 111 and used in conjunction with the evaporator 122.

[0040] It should also be noted that the vent 123 is used to receive the hot steam generated by the evaporator 122 and guide the steam to act directly on the surface of the clothing. The vent 123 and the evaporator 122 are arranged in upper and lower sections on the surface of the cover plate 114 to avoid mutual interference between steam and airflow. The inner cavity of the water tank 121 stores water to be heated, which can supply water to the evaporator 122 through water pipes and water pumps. After receiving the water supplied by the water tank 121, the evaporator 122 can heat the water and convert it into hot steam, which then acts on the surface of the clothing to soften the fibers and remove wrinkles.

[0041] Preferably, the inner cavity of the water tank 121 is connected to the evaporator 122 via a water pipe, and the evaporator 122 and the vent 123 are electrically connected.

[0042] It should be noted that the drive assembly 220 includes a brushless motor 221 adapted to be installed in the cavity of the partition 213, and an impeller 222 fixedly connected to the output end of the brushless motor 221 via a coupling.

[0043] The circuit board 124 is used to precisely adjust the amount of steam in the evaporator 122 and provide a stable power supply to the brushless motor 221. After receiving the electrical control signal from the circuit board 124, the brushless motor 221 starts and can drive the impeller 222 to rotate through the coupling. The impeller 222 can drive the external airflow from the air inlet slot 211 into the inner cavity of the partition 213 through the negative pressure generated during rotation. After being guided by the partition 213, the airflow moves to the exhaust slot 212 through the connecting pipe 113 and is finally discharged from the exhaust slot 212, forming a stable adsorption airflow to ensure that the clothes are tightly attached to the cover plate 114.

[0044] Furthermore, when the brushless motor 221 drives the impeller 222 to rotate, it can generate airflow from the air inlet slot 211 to the exhaust slot 212, thereby making the clothes stick tightly to the surface of the cover plate 114, so as to facilitate ironing with one hand.

[0045] Specifically, the partition 213 is used to isolate the mounting shell 112 and the connecting pipe 113, thereby preventing the hot steam ejected from the evaporator 122 from being directly absorbed by the impeller 222, which would reduce the ironing effect.

[0046] Preferably, the exhaust port 123 is round and the air intake groove 211 is elongated, and the two are arranged in a horizontal array on the upper and lower sides of the cover plate 114.

[0047] When using,

[0048] Check the water level in the water tank 121 to ensure that the water level is sufficient. Then install the water tank 121 to the bottom of the grip bar 111. Then power on the circuit board 124. When the circuit board 124 is working, it provides a stable power supply to the evaporator 122 and the brushless motor 221.

[0049] After the evaporator 122 and the brushless motor 221 are powered on: the water tank 121 delivers water to the evaporator 122 through the water pipe and water pump, the evaporator 122 heats the water and converts it into hot steam, and then the hot steam is sprayed out through the exhaust hole 123 along the channel between the mounting shell 112 and the cover plate 114 to iron the clothes.

[0050] At the same time, the brushless motor 221 drives the impeller 222 to rotate through the coupling. The negative pressure generated when the impeller 222 rotates draws in outside air from the air inlet slot 211. The airflow is precisely guided to the connecting pipe 113 through the partition 213 and finally discharged from the exhaust slot 212 on the surface of the connecting pipe 113, forming a stable adsorption airflow, so that the clothes stick tightly to the surface of the cover plate 114.

[0051] Next, the user moves the garment steamer body 100 by holding the handle 111, so that the steam sprayed from the exhaust port 123 acts on the clothes to soften the fibers and remove wrinkles.

[0052] During this period, the mounting shell 112 and the connecting pipe 113 are isolated by the partition 213 to prevent steam from being absorbed by the impeller 222 before it comes into contact with the clothes, thus ensuring the ironing effect. After ironing is completed, the power is turned off and the equipment is allowed to cool down before the water tank 121 is refilled and the surface of the cover plate 114 is cleaned.

[0053] In summary, through the cooperation of various components in the garment steamer body 100 and the adsorption mechanism 200, not only can the brushless motor 221 drive the impeller 222 to rotate and generate an adsorption airflow when the evaporator 122 generates hot steam, ensuring that the clothes are tightly attached to the surface of the cover plate 114 so that the user can operate with one hand, but the partition 213 can also isolate the evaporator 122 and the impeller 222 to prevent the hot steam from being sucked into the adsorption airflow before it comes into contact with the clothes. This achieves the effect of ensuring sufficient hot steam to soften the fibers while maintaining stable ironing stability with one hand.

[0054] Example 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention, see attached figure. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a way to set the position and number of exhaust slots 212.

[0055] The exhaust trough 212 is mainly used to exhaust the adsorption airflow. Its position can be flexibly adjusted according to the structural design of the connecting pipe 113, the overall size of the equipment, and the airflow circulation efficiency. It can be set on, but is not limited to, the upper side, the lower side, or the middle of the connecting pipe 113. That is, it can cooperate with the air inlet trough 211 and the impeller 222 to form a stable airflow circulation, ensuring a stable adsorption capacity for clothing. Its position change does not affect the actual use effect of this technical solution.

[0056] In summary, by clearly defining the exhaust groove 212, it can be flexibly set at any suitable position on the surface of the connecting pipe 113 according to the structure of the connecting pipe 113, the size of the equipment, and the airflow efficiency, without being limited to a fixed exhaust position. This not only ensures the flexibility of the exhaust groove 212 position design, but also allows for the adaptation of garment steamer bodies 100 with different shapes or sizes by changing the position of the exhaust groove 212, thereby optimizing the airflow circulation path and ensuring that the clothes adhere tightly to the surface of the cover plate 114.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
