Steam irons, as a commonly used garment ironing tool, are widely used in homes and related commercial sectors. The traditional working principle of a steam iron involves heating water inside the iron, causing it to vaporize into high-temperature steam. The heat and humidity of the steam soften the fabric fibers, and the pressure and temperature of the iron's soleplate smooth out wrinkles, achieving a smooth finish. However, for some special fabrics, such as silk, wool, and cashmere, which are sensitive to temperature, using a high-temperature steam iron can easily cause irreversible damage to the fiber structure, leading to serious problems such as deformation, shrinkage, and fading, significantly impairing the quality and appearance of the garment.

[0024] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an oxide group water module according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of the garment steamer of the present invention. Specifically, it includes a main unit 1, a handheld iron 4, and a connecting tube 2. The handheld iron 4 is connected to the first end of the connecting tube 2, and the second end of the connecting tube 2 is connected to the main unit 1.

[0027] The handheld iron 4 is equipped with an ironing plate 41, and the ironing plate 41 has a water mist outlet 42.

[0028] The host unit 1 is equipped with an oxide group water mist module 6, a steam water mist module 7, and a water tank 13. The oxide group water mist module 6 is used to convert the water in the water tank 13 into oxide group water mist. The oxide group water mist module 6 is connected to the water mist outlet 42 through the connecting pipe 2. The steam water mist module 7 is used to heat the water in the water tank 13 into water mist steam. The steam water mist module 7 is connected to the water mist outlet 42 through the connecting pipe 2.

[0029] The oxide group water mist module 6 is used to convert the water in the water tank 13 into oxide group water mist. The oxide group water mist is delivered to the water mist outlet 42 of the handheld iron 4 through the connecting pipe 2 and sprayed out together with the ironing soleplate 41 to treat the clothes.

[0030] The steam mist module 7 is used to heat the water in the water tank 13 into steam mist. The steam mist is delivered to the steam mist outlet 42 of the handheld iron 4 through the connecting pipe 2 and sprayed out together with the ironing plate 41 to treat the clothes.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0032] The garments can be treated differently by switching between the oxidizing group water mist module 6 and the steam water mist module 7. When high-temperature ironing is required, the steam water mist module 7 is activated to spray steam water mist from the ironing plate 41, which then irons the garments flat. For garments that cannot be treated at high temperatures, the oxidizing group water mist module 6 is activated to spray oxidizing group water mist from the ironing plate 41, which works in conjunction with the ironing plate 41 to treat the garments. The oxidizing group water mist is rich in oxidizing groups, which can sterilize and deodorize the garments, providing good care for them at non-high temperatures.

[0033] It should be understood that the ironing soleplate 41 is made of metal and is equipped with a heating element (not shown) to heat it. For example, when the steam / mist module 7 is activated, the heating element activates and transfers heat to the ironing soleplate 41, heating it to the set temperature. Furthermore, the garment iron also includes a thermostat (not shown) that senses the temperature of the ironing soleplate 41. When the temperature of the ironing soleplate 41 is lower than the set temperature, the heating element activates; when the temperature of the ironing soleplate 41 reaches the set temperature, the heating element deactivates, thereby maintaining the temperature of the ironing soleplate 41 at the set temperature.

[0034] When the user turns on the oxide group water mist module 6, the heating element can be adjusted as needed. For example, the oxide group water mist module 6 can be turned on and the heating function can be turned off, i.e., the heating element is disconnected. Or, the oxide group water mist module 6 can be turned on and the heating function can be turned on. The heating element heats the ironing plate 41 to the set temperature. For clothes that cannot be treated at high temperatures, the heating temperature of the heating element can be adjusted to heat the ironing plate 41 at a low temperature (such as 35-45℃). The oxide group water mist and the low-temperature heated ironing plate 41 work together to treat the clothes, resulting in a better treatment effect.

[0035] The water tank 13 of the main unit 1 can be a detachable water tank 13, or the main unit 1 has a water inlet that is connected to the water tank 13, and water is injected into the water tank 13 through the water inlet.

[0036] In order to generate oxidized water mist, in one embodiment, the oxidized water mist module 6 includes an oxidized water module 61 and an atomizer 62. The oxidized water module 61 is used to generate oxidized water, and the atomizer 62 is used to atomize the generated oxidized water.

[0037] In one embodiment, the water tank 13 is connected to the oxidized group water module 61, the oxidized group water module 61 is connected to the atomizer 62, and the atomizer 62 is connected to the second end of the connecting pipe 2. Specifically, for example, the atomizer 62 is located at the outlet of the oxidized group water module 61 to atomize the oxidized group water generated by the oxidized group water module 61.

[0038] Preferably, in one embodiment, the water tank 13 includes a steam water tank 11 and a cold mist water tank 12 that are independent of each other, so as to generate high-temperature steam water mist and oxidized group water mist respectively.

[0039] Furthermore, for example, the oxide group water mist module 6 is disposed in the cold mist water tank 12. The oxide group water mist module 6 atomizes the water in the cold mist water tank 12 and delivers it to the mist outlet of the handheld iron 4 through the connecting pipe 2. Alternatively, the oxide group water module 61 is connected to the cold mist water tank 12 through a circulation pipe. A water pump 63 is disposed on the circulation pipe, and the atomizer 62 is disposed in the cold mist water tank 12. The water pump 63 pumps water from the water tank 13 into the oxide group water module 61. The oxide group water module 61 converts the water into oxide group water. The oxide group water returns to the water tank 13 through the circulation pipe, is atomized into oxide group water mist by the atomizer 62 in the water tank 13, and is delivered to the mist outlet of the handheld iron 4 through the connecting pipe 2.

[0040] In one embodiment, the oxide group water mist module 6 further includes a fan 5, which is used to deliver the oxide group water mist generated by the oxide group water mist module 6 into the connecting pipe 2. This allows the produced oxide group water mist to be quickly delivered to the handheld iron 4.

[0041] To generate steam mist, in one embodiment, the steam mist module 7 includes a heating element 71 disposed in the steam water tank 11. The heating element heats and evaporates the water in the water tank 13 to generate water mist, which is then delivered to the mist outlet of the handheld iron 4.

[0042] To generate steam mist, in one embodiment, the steam mist module 7 includes a steam generating chamber (not shown) and a heating element 71 disposed in the steam generating chamber. The water tank 13 is connected to the steam generating chamber, and the steam generating chamber is connected to the second end of the connecting pipe 2. Water in the water tank 13 enters the steam generating chamber, is heated and evaporated to generate water mist, which is then delivered to the mist outlet of the handheld iron 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, a heat insulation plate 9 is provided between the steam water tank 11 and the cold mist water tank 12. This prevents the temperature of the steam water tank 11 from being transferred to the cold mist water tank 12 and affecting the temperature of the oxidized group water mist.

[0044] Regarding the oxidation group generating structure, in one embodiment, the oxidation group water module 61 includes at least one of an ozone water generator, a hypochlorous acid generator, a hydrogen peroxide generator, a strong oxidation group generator, and an acidic water generator. The aforementioned oxidation group water module can generate oxidation groups such as ozone, hypochlorous acid, and hydrogen peroxide, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, thus achieving sterilization and deodorization treatment of clothing.

[0045] Regarding the structure of the oxide group generation, for example, the oxide group water module 61 includes an ozone water generator. Ozone has oxidizing and bactericidal properties, which can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Furthermore, the ozone water is converted into ordinary water after sterilization and disinfection, making it non-toxic and safer, and more environmentally friendly. The ozone generator can be a high-voltage ionization ozone generator, an electrolytic ozone generator, or other ozone generators.

[0046] Regarding the structure of the oxide group, in one embodiment, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the oxidized water module 61 includes an electrolytic cell, which comprises several electrolytic units 3. Each electrolytic unit 3 includes a first electrode 31, an electrolyte membrane 32, and a second electrode 33 stacked sequentially. The electrolytic cell converts water into oxidized water through low-pressure electrolysis. The oxidized water produced by the low-pressure electrolysis of the water by the electrolytic units is rich in oxidized groups, such as ozone, oxygen atoms, and hydroxyl radicals, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, thus achieving sterilization and deodorization of clothing.

[0047] Regarding the electrolysis unit, in one embodiment, the electrode material of the first electrode 31 and / or the second electrode 33 is one of conductive silicon, conductive diamond, or elemental titanium, platinum, lead, tantalum, iridium, palladium, antimony, or their oxides. For example, the electrode material of the first electrode 31 and / or the second electrode 33 is conductive silicon or conductive diamond; or, alternatively, the electrode material of the first electrode 31 and / or the second electrode 33 is one of elemental titanium, platinum, lead, tantalum, iridium, palladium, antimony, or their oxides.

[0048] It should be understood that the orientation of the electrolysis unit is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, the electrolysis unit may be arranged vertically or horizontally.

[0049] For example, the electrolyte membrane 32 is a proton exchange membrane (PEM), which serves to provide hydrogen ion channels, i.e., the H generated by the first electrode 31. + The protons migrate through the proton exchange membrane to the second electrode 33, thereby increasing the reaction rate and the product formation rate.

[0050] In one embodiment, the standing garment steamer further includes a circuit board 8, which is disposed inside the main unit 1, and the oxide group water module 61 is electrically connected to the circuit board 8.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
