[0002] A garment steamer is a common household appliance that uses steam to iron clothes. Compared to a flat iron, a garment steamer does not require an ironing board for laying clothes flat. You simply hang the clothes and hold the steamer to iron them. However, there are some drawbacks to using a garment steamer: because the clothes are not supported, you have to pull them by hand, which is inconvenient. Also, it is impossible to ensure that the ironing board of the garment steamer can make flat and close contact with the clothes, which affects the ironing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model addresses the problems of inconvenient operation and poor ironing effect of existing garment steamers by providing a garment steamer. The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] A garment steamer includes a casing and a handle mounted on the casing. An ironing seat is mounted on the front section of the casing. The ironing seat contains a steam generator, and an ironing plate and an absorption plate are mounted on its front end. The ironing plate has steam holes communicating with the steam generator. The absorption plate is arranged around the ironing plate and covers the front end of the ironing seat, and has multiple air intake holes. A fan box is mounted in the middle section of the casing, and a fan is mounted inside the fan box. The fan box has an air intake hood connecting the ironing seat and the fan box. The ironing seat has an air intake gap connecting the air intake holes and the air intake hood.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following technical effects: By setting up an active adsorption system, it can generate an adsorption force on the clothes towards the ironing board when ironing, so that the clothes and the ironing board can be in flat and close contact. Steam can penetrate the fabric fibers evenly and efficiently, improving the ironing effect. Moreover, users no longer need to pull the clothes by hand to keep them flat, improving the convenience of operation. The ironing board adopts a recessed central plate and an outer platform structure. The adsorption plate is wrapped around the outer perimeter, and its adsorption wall is flush with the front wall of the outer platform. This recessed ironing board and the flush adsorption wall work together to form a relatively closed negative pressure chamber when the adsorption plate is pressed on the clothes, which greatly enhances the adsorption efficiency. By optimizing the structure of the air inlet hood, air guide hood, air outlet hood and exhaust hole, the air duct is optimized, which can effectively guide the airflow, reduce eddies and turbulence, and make the airflow more stable and smooth, thereby reducing the operating noise and energy consumption of the fan.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0021] See Figures 1-4 This embodiment discloses a garment steamer, which includes a housing 10 and a hand handle 60 mounted on the housing 10.

[0022] The front section of the casing 10 is equipped with an ironing seat 20; the ironing seat 20 contains a steam generator, and the front end of the ironing seat 20 is equipped with an ironing plate 21 and an adsorption plate 22. The ironing plate 21 has steam holes 2111 that communicate with the steam generator; the adsorption plate 22 is arranged around the ironing plate 21 and covers the front end of the ironing seat 20, and the adsorption plate 22 has multiple air suction holes 221; the middle section of the casing 10 is equipped with a fan box 30, and the fan box 30 contains a fan 31. The air inlet end of the 30 is provided with an air inlet cover 23 connecting the ironing seat 20 and the fan box 30. The ironing seat 20 is provided with an air inlet gap connecting the air intake hole 221 and the air inlet cover 23. The air outlet end of the fan box 30 is provided with an air outlet hole 331. The housing 10 is provided with an exhaust hole 11 communicating with the air outlet hole 331. The rear section of the housing 10 is equipped with a water tank 40 and a water pump 50 that sends the water pump 50 in the water tank 40 to the steam generator. The water pump 50 is installed between the water tank 40 and the fan box 30. The suction force generated by the fan 31 acts on the clothes through the air intake 221, providing the clothes with an adsorption force towards the ironing plate 21. This ensures that the clothes and the ironing plate 21 can be in flat and close contact, and the steam can penetrate the fabric fibers evenly and efficiently, thereby achieving an ironing and shaping effect comparable to a flat iron. This solves the problems of steam dissipation and weak ironing in traditional garment steamers. Moreover, users no longer need to exert effort to pull the clothes by hand to keep them flat. The adsorption force automatically pulls the clothes flat and fixes them. Users can easily move the garment steamer, achieving convenient one-handed operation.

[0023] The air outlet includes a horn-shaped air guide shroud 32 and an air outlet plate 33 covering the front end of the air guide shroud 32. The air outlet 331 is provided on the air outlet plate 33. The horn-shaped air guide shroud 32 conforms to fluid mechanics, effectively guiding airflow, reducing eddies and turbulence, and making the airflow more stable and smooth, thereby reducing the operating noise and energy loss of the fan 31. An air outlet shroud 34 is formed around the air outlet plate 33. The air outlet shroud 34 extends toward the housing 10. The exhaust hole 11 and the exhaust hole 331 are sealed and connected through the air outlet shroud 34. A sealing gasket 341 is installed at the front end of the air outlet shroud 34. The cooperation between the air outlet shroud and the sealing gasket 341 ensures that the air duct runs from the fan 31 to the exhaust hole 11 of the housing 10. The airtight seal prevents high-pressure airflow from leaking inside the housing 10, ensuring that all suction is efficiently used to adsorb clothes, thus improving the overall system efficiency. The exhaust hole 11 has a gradually expanding wall from the inside to the outside, and the cross-section of the exhaust hole 11 is a rectangular shape with chamfers. Compared with a sharp opening, the chamfered rectangular exhaust hole 11 can further reduce the noise when the airflow is blown out. The air inlet cover 23 is integrally formed on the rear wall of the ironing seat 20. The air inlet cover 23 includes an arc-shaped air guide plate 231 connected to the fan box 30, and an air inlet plate 232 vertically installed on the rear wall of the ironing seat. The air inlet cover 23 with the above structure can efficiently guide the airflow in the ironing seat 20 to the fan box 30.

[0024] The ironing board 21 includes a central plate 211 and an outer platform 212. The central plate 211 is recessed inside the outer platform 212, and the steam holes 2111 are located on the central plate 211. The adsorption plate 22 is fitted around the outer platform 212, and the suction holes 221 are located on the adsorption wall of the adsorption plate 22, which is flush with the front wall of the outer platform 212. The ironing board 21 adopts a recessed central plate 211 and outer platform 212 structure. The steam holes 2111 are located on the central plate 211, and the adsorption plate 22 is encircled by the outer platform, with its adsorption wall flush with the front wall of the outer platform 212. This concave ironing board 21, together with the flush adsorption wall, creates a relatively sealed negative pressure chamber when the adsorption plate 22 is pressed onto clothing, greatly enhancing the adsorption efficiency. The steam and adsorption functions work synergistically to achieve excellent ironing results.

[0025] The outer platform 212 is also equipped with an air suction plate 24 and a filter sponge. The filter sponge is sandwiched between the adsorption plate 22 and the air suction plate 24. The air suction plate 24 has air passages that communicate with the air suction hole 221 and the air inlet gap. The addition of the filter sponge and the air suction plate 24 can effectively intercept lint, dust and other debris, effectively protect the air duct and extend the service life of the garment steamer.

[0026] The bottom of the casing 10 is provided with a hinge seat, and the handle 60 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat. The handle 60 can reciprocate between the use position and the storage position. When the handle 60 is in the use position, it is perpendicular to the casing 10. When the handle 60 is in the storage position, it rests against the bottom wall of the casing 10. The bottom wall of the casing 10 is provided with a first clearance groove 12, and the bottom of the suction plate 22 is provided with a second clearance groove 25. Both the first clearance groove 12 and the second clearance groove 25 are strip-shaped grooves and are continuously connected. The above configuration can reduce the storage volume of the garment steamer and make it convenient to store and carry.
