[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the steam-water separation box described in this embodiment can be applied to a garment steamer, and includes a box body 1 and a box lid 2;

[0027] The bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a mounting part 14 for mounting the box body 1; the top of the box body 1 has a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 that are connected; the top periphery of the box body 1 is evenly distributed with a first connecting part 15 along the circumferential direction, and the top of the box body 1 is also provided with a protruding rib 16 around the opening of the box body 1; the depth of the first cavity 11 is greater than the depth of the second cavity 12; the bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a soda inlet 13 that communicates with the first cavity 11; the second cavity 12 is provided with at least two or more first partitions 17 near the first cavity 11; a channel 18 is formed between the adjacent ends of the at least two or more first partitions 17; preferably, this embodiment provides two first partitions 17.

[0028] The lid 2 has second connecting parts 24 evenly distributed around its periphery, and the bottom surface of the lid 2 has a slot 25. The lid 2 covers the top of the box body 1, so that the protrusion 16 is embedded in the slot 25 to enhance the sealing between the lid 2 and the box body 1. The first connecting part 15 and the second connecting part 24 correspond one-to-one, and are locked together by fasteners such as screws or bolts to enhance the firmness between the box body 1 and the lid 2. This makes the lid 2 and the box body 1 form a gas-water separation chamber. The lid 2 has a baffle 21 that extends into the first cavity 11 and is located between the gas-water inlet 13 and the channel 18. Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The baffle 21 can be a straight plate or an arc plate; the lid 2 is provided with a steam outlet 22 at the position corresponding to the second cavity 12; the lid 2 is provided with a second partition 23 extending into the second cavity 12 and located between the channel 18 and the steam outlet 22.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steam-water separation box of the garment steamer has a baffle 21 and a second partition 23 dividing the steam-water separation chamber into a first separation chamber 3, a second separation chamber 4, and a third separation chamber 5. The first separation chamber 3, the second separation chamber 4, and the third separation chamber 5 are arranged sequentially along the direction from the steam-water inlet 13 to the steam outlet 22. In actual use, the water vapor generated by heating enters the first separation chamber 3 through the steam-water inlet 13. The baffle 21 blocks a portion of the water vapor and prevents the boiling and splashing water from entering the first separation chamber 3, thus forming the first steam-water separation effect. After the first steam-water separation, the water vapor enters the second separation chamber 4. At this time, the two first partitions 17 and the second partition 23 work together to block the water in the water vapor, allowing drier steam to enter the third separation chamber 5, thus forming the second steam-water separation effect. The dry steam entering the third separation chamber 5 is discharged from the steam outlet 22. At the same time, the channel 18 allows the water droplets formed in the second cavity 12 to flow back to the first cavity 11 through the channel 18.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting baffle 21 and second partition 23, and setting first partition 17 and channel 18 in second cavity 12, the second partition 23 is extended to the space between channel 18 and steam outlet 22, thereby forming a multi-blocking effect on water vapor, so that steam outlet 22 can discharge drier steam, improve the dryness of steam, and enhance the user experience.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, the inner bottom surface of the first cavity 11 is a conical arc surface surrounding the steam-water inlet 13, so that the water in the first cavity 11 can flow back. With the above arrangement, the water in the first cavity 11 can flow along the conical arc surface to the steam-water inlet 13, forming a backflow, which is beneficial to further improve the dryness of the steam.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, the inner bottom surface of the second cavity 12 is an inclined surface that slopes downwards from the end away from the first cavity 11 towards the end closer to the first cavity 11, so that water in the second cavity 12 flows back into the first cavity 11. Through this arrangement, water droplets formed in the second cavity 12 can be guided along the inclined surface and flow back into the first cavity 11 through the channel 18, thereby improving the dryness of the second cavity 12 and allowing the steam outlet 22 to discharge drier steam.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam separation box, at least two first partitions 17 are symmetrically distributed within the second cavity 12. This arrangement improves the separation effect of water vapor.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, at least two first partitions 17 are inclined. In some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, at least two first partitions 17 are inclined towards the first cavity 11. This arrangement facilitates the guidance of water droplets formed in the second cavity 12 into the channel 18. Preferably, in this embodiment of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, the number of first partitions 17 is set to two.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, the height of the first partition 17 is lower than the height of the second cavity 12; the side wall of the first partition 17 is connected to the inner side wall of the second cavity 12; and the bottom wall of the first partition 17 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the second cavity 12. Preferably, the first partition 17 is integrally formed with the box body 1. Through the above arrangement, some water vapor can pass through the first partition 17 and be blocked by the second partition 23, thus effectively separating the steam and water. The separated steam enters the third separation chamber 5 and is discharged through the steam outlet 22.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, there is a first gap between the bottom surface of the second partition 23 and the inner bottom surface of the second cavity 12. This arrangement allows some steam to pass through the first gap into the third separation chamber 5.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, a second gap exists between the two side walls of the second partition 23 and the inner side wall of the second cavity 12. This arrangement allows some steam to pass through the second gap into the third separation chamber 5.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the garment steamer's steam-water separation box, the baffle 21 is symmetrically arranged about the channel 18. Specifically, there is a third gap between the bottom of the baffle 21 and the inner bottom surface of the first cavity 11, so that sufficient steam can enter the second separation chamber 4 to meet the steam usage effect.

[0039] It should be noted that when the baffle 21 is an arc plate, its central angle can be set according to actual design needs, such as 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, etc. The central angle of the arc baffle is located on the axis of the soda inlet 13.

[0040] Example 2: Figure 6As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that a first partition 17 is provided inside the second cavity 12 in this embodiment; at least one end of the first partition 17 forms a channel 18 between it and the inner wall of the box body 1. Specifically, one end of the first partition 17 can be configured to form a channel 18 between it and the inner wall of the box body 1, in which case the other end of the first partition 17 is connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, and the bottom wall of the first partition 17 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the second cavity 12. Of course, both ends of the first partition 17 can also be configured to form channels 18 between them and the inner wall of the box body 1, in which case the bottom wall of the first partition 17 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the second cavity 12. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting baffle 21 and second partition 23, and setting first partition 17 and channel 18 in second cavity 12, the second partition 23 is extended to the space between channel 18 and steam outlet 22, thereby forming a multi-blocking effect on water vapor, so that steam outlet 22 can discharge drier steam, improve the dryness of steam, and enhance the user experience.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included within the protection scope of the present utility model patent application.
