Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to clothing care devices, specifically providing a jet assembly and clothing care device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing garment care equipment, hot air or high-temperature steam is typically used to dry, sterilize, and remove wrinkles from the garments inside. To improve heating efficiency and reduce energy consumption, most current technologies employ a circulating airflow design. This involves using a fan to continuously circulate heated air or high-temperature steam within the cabinet, achieving overall heating and uniform treatment of the garment's surface and interior. However, in this circulating airflow system, the airflow path is relatively dispersed and lacks targeted guidance, making it difficult to concentrate heat and humidity on areas with severe wrinkles, especially in details such as seams and folds, where heat coverage is even more limited. Even after a complete care cycle, noticeable wrinkles may remain on the garments, failing to achieve the desired smoothness. Users often need to manually iron and finish the garments after care, which not only increases inconvenience but also raises the frequency and time costs of manual intervention.

[0003] In existing circulating airflow designs, hot air or high-temperature steam typically acts on the surface of clothing from only one direction, lacking a dedicated airflow structure capable of independent operation and simultaneous double-sided care. When the clothing being treated is thick, multi-layered, or has deep folds distributed on both sides, single-sided airflow often struggles to effectively penetrate to the other side, resulting in insufficient heating and steaming of the back or inner areas. This deficiency not only affects the smoothing and shaping of folds but may also reduce the overall quality of garment care. Furthermore, due to insufficient airflow, the duration of the care process often needs to be extended to achieve the desired effect, which increases energy consumption and operating costs, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a jet assembly and garment care device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problem that the airflow of existing garment care equipment is dispersed, making it impossible to provide targeted double-sided care for garments, thereby affecting the care effect.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a jet assembly, which includes a connecting pipe and at least two spaced-apart pipe groups, the pipe groups being fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, and each pipe group having an exhaust port. The exhaust ports of two adjacent pipe groups are used to care for clothing between the two adjacent pipe groups.

[0007] In a specific embodiment of the above-described jet assembly, the jet assembly further includes a driving member, which is pulsatorically connected to the connecting pipe. The driving member is capable of driving the connecting pipe and the pipe assembly to rotate, thereby changing the exhaust direction of the exhaust port.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned jet assembly, the jet assembly further includes a gear assembly, and the driving member and the connecting pipe are both connected to the gear assembly so that the driving member and the connecting pipe are connected in a driving manner.

[0009] In a specific embodiment of the above-described jet assembly, the jet assembly further includes a meshing worm gear and a worm, the drive member is connected to one of the worm gear and the worm, and the connecting pipe is connected to the other, so that the drive member and the connecting pipe are connected in a driving connection.

[0010] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned jet assembly, the pipe group includes a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe. One end of the first branch pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, and one end of the second branch pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe. The first branch pipe and the second branch pipe are arranged at an angle.

[0011] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned jet assembly, the included angle between the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe ranges from 45° to 135°.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a garment care device, which includes the aforementioned jet assembly.

[0013] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned garment care device, the garment care device further includes a cabinet, and the air jet assembly is disposed inside the cabinet.

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the above-described garment care device, the garment care device further includes a steam generator connected to the pipe assembly, the steam output by the steam generator being able to be ejected from the exhaust port of the pipe assembly; and / or

[0015] The garment care device further includes a hot air generator connected to the pipe assembly, the airflow output by the hot air generator being able to be ejected from the exhaust port of the pipe assembly; and / or

[0016] The garment care device also includes an aroma generator connected to the tubing assembly, and the airflow output by the aroma generator can be ejected from the exhaust port of the tubing assembly.

[0017] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned garment care device, the garment care device further includes a hanger for hanging garments. The hanger is disposed above the tube assembly, and the tube assembly is rotatable relative to the hanger. The rotation axis of the tube assembly is arranged parallel to the length direction of the hanger.

[0018] With the above technical solution adopted, the jet assembly proposed in this utility model includes at least two spaced-apart pipe groups, each pipe group having multiple exhaust ports. The exhaust ports of two adjacent pipe groups are used to care for the clothing between the two adjacent pipe groups. Through this structural design, the ejected hot air or high-temperature steam is not only more evenly distributed in space, but can also simultaneously cover both sides of the clothing, achieving a double-sided synchronous care effect. Compared with the existing technology where the airflow path is dispersed and the action area is single, this jet assembly effectively solves the problems of uneven care and insufficient wrinkle relief. At the same time, because the airflow can be concentrated on the target area, the ineffective loss of heat and steam is reduced, thereby significantly improving care efficiency and overall use effect while ensuring care quality, providing users with a more convenient and efficient clothing care experience.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive unit and the connecting pipe are connected via a transmission structure, allowing the connecting pipe to rotate under the drive unit's influence, which in turn drives the various pipe groups spaced apart on it to rotate synchronously. As the connecting pipe rotates, the multiple exhaust ports distributed on each pipe group continuously change their jet direction, creating a continuously changing dynamic coverage area of ​​hot air or high-temperature steam within the cabinet's interior space. This dynamic jetting method allows airflow to act on all surfaces and folds of the clothing from different angles and directions, achieving comprehensive, multi-faceted care. This structure not only effectively avoids the problems of insufficient localized care or blind spots caused by fixed jetting but also further improves the uniformity of airflow distribution, significantly enhancing overall care efficiency and user experience while ensuring care quality.

[0020] Furthermore, the first and second branch pipes are installed at a certain angle, creating a complementary airflow distribution at their exhaust ports. This structural design allows the hot air or high-temperature steam ejected from different branch pipes to coordinate and complement each other directionally. During the ejection process, this not only expands the airflow coverage but also enhances the three-dimensional and enveloping effect of the airflow in space. The airflow can simultaneously act on multiple different areas of the garment, including the front, back, and deeply wrinkled areas, significantly improving airflow penetration and uniform coverage. This design effectively reduces potential blind spots or insufficient localized heating during the care process, further improving the overall garment care effect and enabling more efficient wrinkle removal, shaping, and sterilization functions.

[0021] Furthermore, the steam generator, hot air generator, and / or aromatherapy generator are connected to the piping assembly, allowing the generated steam, hot air, or aromatherapy airflow to directly act on the surface of the clothing and its wrinkles inside the cabinet through the exhaust port of the piping assembly. This structural arrangement allows the steam airflow to deeply penetrate and humidify the clothing, effectively smoothing fibers and removing wrinkles; the hot airflow enables rapid drying and aids in sterilization; and the aromatherapy airflow imparts a lasting fresh scent to the clothing upon completion of the treatment. These different types of airflow can be used individually or in combination to simultaneously achieve multiple effects such as wrinkle removal, drying, and fragrance enhancement in a single treatment. This design not only enhances the targeted nature and overall effectiveness of the treatment process but also significantly expands the functional applicability of the equipment, meeting the diverse clothing care needs of users in different seasons, with different fabrics, and in different usage scenarios.

[0022] Furthermore, by placing the hanger above the tube assembly and allowing the tube assembly to rotate relative to the hanger with its axis of rotation parallel to the length of the hanger, the tube assembly can achieve uniform coverage along the direction of garment hanging during rotation. This allows the airflow to act fully and evenly on the surface of the garment, avoiding uneven drying in certain areas and improving the uniformity and overall efficiency of garment care.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components.

[0032] To address the problem of dispersed airflow in existing garment care devices, which prevents targeted two-sided care of garments and thus affects the care effect, this embodiment discloses a garment care device. This garment care device includes a cabinet, a jet assembly, a steam generator, a hot air generator, and an aromatherapy generator.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The cabinet 4 has an interior cavity 41 for garment care. The garments to be treated and the aforementioned air jet assembly are installed or placed within this cavity 41 so that the air jet can directly act on the surface of the garments to achieve the desired care effect. Furthermore, a hanger 5 is installed inside the cabinet 4, and the air jet assembly is located below the hanger 5. The air jet assembly can spray air onto the clothes hanging on the hanger 5. The other structures of the cabinet 4 are the same as those of the cabinet 4 in existing garment care devices, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 The jet assembly includes a drive component 3, a connecting pipe 1, and multiple pipe groups 2 spaced apart along the connecting pipe 1. In this embodiment, the drive component 3 is preferably a motor; however, in other embodiments, components with similar driving functions can also be used. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the connecting pipe 1 through a transmission structure. When the motor is powered on, its output shaft can drive the connecting pipe 1 to rotate around its own axis, thereby causing the various pipe groups 2 mounted on it to rotate synchronously, realizing dynamic changes in the airflow jet direction. To facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solution of this utility model, the specific connection structure between the motor and the connecting pipe 1 and its implementation method will be described in detail below with reference to three different embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] The jet assembly also includes a connecting shaft. One end of the connecting shaft is securely connected to the output shaft of the motor via a fixed structure, while the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 1. When the output shaft of the motor starts to rotate, the rotational motion of the output shaft can directly drive the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the connecting pipe 1 to rotate synchronously. Through this design, the multiple pipe groups 2 installed on the connecting pipe 1 can change the jet direction as the connecting pipe 1 rotates, thereby achieving dynamic airflow coverage in space, ensuring all-round, multi-angle care for clothing, and improving care uniformity and overall efficiency.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The jet assembly also includes a gear assembly, which consists of multiple meshing gears to achieve power transmission and motion conversion. The motor's output shaft is connected to the input gear in the gear assembly via a fixed or transmission connection. When the motor is powered on, the rotation of the output shaft drives the input gear to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the input gear, through the meshing relationship between the gears, transmits power sequentially to the output gear in the gear assembly. The connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the output gear, so the rotation of the output gear drives the connecting pipe 1 to rotate around its own axis. Through this gear transmission structure, the rotational power of the motor is efficiently and reliably transmitted to the connecting pipe 1, enabling the pipe assembly 2 to dynamically adjust the jet direction as the connecting pipe 1 rotates, thereby providing all-round, multi-angle care for clothing, improving the uniformity and overall effect of the care.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] The jet assembly also includes a meshing worm gear and worm structure for power transmission and motion conversion. The motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to one of the worm gear and worm via a connecting device, while the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the other. In this embodiment, the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the worm, and the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the worm gear. When the motor is powered on, the rotation of its output shaft directly drives the worm to rotate. The rotation of the worm, through its meshing relationship with the worm gear, transmits power to the worm gear, thereby driving the worm gear to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear ultimately drives the connecting pipe 1 to rotate around its own axis, causing the pipe assembly 2 to change its jet direction as the connecting pipe 1 rotates, thereby achieving all-round, multi-angle airflow care for clothing, improving the uniformity and overall effect of care.

[0041] Tube assembly 2 is fixedly connected to connecting pipe 1. When connecting pipe 1 rotates around its axis, tube assembly 2 rotates synchronously, thereby creating a dynamic coverage of the ejected airflow within the space. In this embodiment, two tube assemblies 2 are used to achieve a basic double-sided spraying function; in other embodiments, more than two tube assemblies 2 can be used to accommodate the care needs of different sizes or multiple layers of clothing. Adjacent tube assemblies 2 are spaced apart along the axial direction of connecting pipe 1, and the spacing between adjacent tube assemblies 2 is sufficient to accommodate clothing, ensuring that the airflow can directly act on the surface of the clothing. Each tube assembly 2 is provided with multiple exhaust ports, and the exhaust ports are oriented towards adjacent tube assemblies 2, so that the airflow ejected from adjacent tube assemblies 2 can simultaneously act on the front and back of the clothing, achieving a double-sided synchronous care effect. This structural design not only improves the uniformity and penetration of airflow coverage but also effectively improves the wrinkle removal, shaping, and overall care effect of clothing.

[0042] In this embodiment, the pipe assembly 2 includes a first branch pipe 21 and a second branch pipe 22. One end of the first branch pipe 21 is connected to the connecting pipe 1 via a fixed structure, and one end of the second branch pipe 22 is also connected to the connecting pipe 1 via a fixed structure. The connection positions of the first branch pipe 21 and the connecting pipe 1 and the second branch pipe 22 and the connecting pipe 1 are arranged adjacent to each other, allowing the two branch pipes to form a specific arrangement in space. The first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 are set at a certain angle so that the ejected airflow forms a complementary distribution in space, thereby improving the airflow coverage and penetration effect. Further, the angle between the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 can be set between 45° and 135° to adapt to different types of clothing and care needs. In this embodiment, the angle between the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 is specifically 90°. Through this angle design, the airflow ejected from the two adjacent branch pipes can form a better three-dimensional coverage and a double-sided synchronous care effect, thereby improving the uniformity and overall effect of clothing care.

[0043] Regarding pipe group 2, it should be noted that although pipe group 2 in this embodiment includes a first branch pipe 21 and a second branch pipe 22, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments, such as pipe group 2 including one branch pipe, three branch pipes, or more than one branch pipe. This does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0044] Multiple exhaust ports are respectively arranged on the pipe bodies of the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22. The connecting pipe 1 connects the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22, allowing gas to flow smoothly from the connecting pipe 1 into the two branch pipes. The gas is ejected through the exhaust ports in the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22, forming a directional jet of airflow that acts on the surface and wrinkles of the garment. Through this structural design, the jet of airflow can achieve directional care for the garment, ensuring that the airflow coverage reaches different areas of the garment, thereby improving the wrinkle removal, shaping, and overall care effect, making the care process more uniform and efficient, and meeting diverse garment care needs.

[0045] The steam generator produces steam, which is connected to connecting pipe 1 via a pipeline. The steam is then ejected through the exhaust ports within connecting pipe 1 and its assembly 2, acting on the surface of clothing to achieve wrinkle removal, sterilization, and conditioning functions. The hot air generator produces hot air, also connected to assembly 2 via connecting pipe 1, allowing the hot air to be ejected from the exhaust ports for drying, heating, and shaping of clothing. The aromatherapy generator produces aromatherapy gas, which is connected to connecting pipe 1, allowing the aromatherapy gas to be evenly sprayed through the exhaust ports for fragrance enhancement and conditioning of clothing. Furthermore, connecting pipe 1, the steam generator, the hot air generator, and the aromatherapy generator are all connected and managed via control valves. These control valves can selectively establish flow paths between connecting pipe 1 and one or more of these generators, thereby enabling switching between different conditioning modes. Through this structural design, the equipment can flexibly combine steam, hot air, and aromatherapy airflows to provide diverse and targeted conditioning effects based on different clothing materials and conditioning needs, improving overall garment conditioning efficiency and effectiveness while enhancing ease of use.

[0046] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the tube assembly 2 is parallel to the length direction of the hanger 5, and multiple garments are spaced apart along the length direction of the hanger 5. The extension directions of the first branch tube 21 and the second branch tube 22 are both perpendicular to the rotation axis of the tube assembly 2. When the tube assembly 2 rotates, the first branch tube 21 and the second branch tube 22 rotate on a plane parallel to the surface of the garments, ensuring that the gas discharged from the exhaust port on the first branch tube 21 and the exhaust port on the second branch tube 22 is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the garments. This avoids uneven care caused by concentrated airflow, achieving uniform care of the garment surface and improving care efficiency and quality.

[0047] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
