[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a water tank plug-in handheld steam brush, including a steam brush body 1 and a water tank assembly 2. The water tank assembly 2 is detachably connected to the steam brush body 1 for easy daily water filling, cleaning and replacement. The steam brush body 1 is provided with a slider part 11, and the water tank assembly 2 is provided with a sliding groove 211 that slides and engages with the slider part 11. The slider part 11 and the sliding groove 211 are connected by a transverse plug-in method, which has a high fitting accuracy during sliding, thereby ensuring that the water tank assembly 2 can be quickly and stably installed on the steam brush body 1. To prevent over-plugging, the slider part 11 is provided with a step part 111, and the sliding groove 211 is provided with a corresponding stop part 212. When the water tank assembly 2 slides into place, the end of the slider part 11 abuts against the end of the sliding groove 211, and at the same time, the step part 111 and the stop part 212 abut against each other to form a limit, which enhances the stability of the plug-in.

[0036] A water inlet pipe 12 is provided on the steam brush body 1, and a valve assembly 3 is provided on the water tank assembly 2 to connect with it. The slider part 11 slides laterally along the slide groove 211 so that the steam brush body 1 is locked on the water tank assembly 2 and the water inlet pipe 12 is forced into the valve assembly 3 to connect the water passage of the steam brush body 1 and the water tank assembly 2. The water tank assembly 2 includes a water tank shell 21 and a water inlet channel 22 provided inside the water tank shell 21. A water storage chamber 23 is formed inside the water tank shell 21. The water inlet channel 22 is connected to the water storage chamber 23. The valve assembly 3 is installed in the water inlet channel 22 and can control the opening and closing of the water flow. A disassembly groove 215 is provided on the water tank shell 21. The user can easily press his / her finger on the disassembly groove 215 to easily disassemble the water tank assembly 2.

[0037] Valve assembly 3 specifically includes an inlet valve sleeve 32 installed in the water supply channel 22 and a valve core 33 movably disposed in the water supply channel 22. The outlet end of the inlet valve sleeve 32 is provided with an annular sealing protrusion 321, which is used to cooperate with the valve core 33 to form a primary sealing structure. A support sleeve 31 is snapped into the water supply channel 22, and the support sleeve 31 presses against the inlet valve sleeve 32. A sealing groove 313 is formed on the outer wall of the support sleeve, and a sealing ring 314 is provided in the sealing groove 313 to form a secondary sealing structure. A first elastic element 34 is also provided in the water supply channel 22. One end of the first elastic element 34 abuts against the inner wall of the water inlet channel 22, and the other end of the first elastic element 34 abuts against the valve core 33, which is used to drive the valve core 33 to move towards the annular sealing protrusion 321. Thus, when the water inlet pipe 12 is not connected, the valve core 33 fits against the annular sealing protrusion 321 under the action of the elastic element, forming a self-sealing state, effectively preventing water leakage in the water storage chamber 23. When the water tank assembly 2 is inserted into the steam brush body 1 and connected to the water inlet pipe 12, the water inlet pipe 12 will push the valve core 33 open, open the water passage, and allow water to flow smoothly into the steam brush body 1.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the valve assembly 3 inside the water tank, a positioning block 311 is provided on the outside of the support sleeve 31, and a positioning groove 221 is provided on the inner wall of the water supply channel 22 to cooperate with it. The positioning block 311 and the positioning groove 221 are inserted and cooperated to ensure that the support sleeve 31 can be correctly positioned in the predetermined position and avoid assembly offset or misalignment. In addition, the support sleeve 31 is also provided with an installation buckle 312, which is engaged with the installation groove 222 on the inner wall of the water supply channel 22, which enhances the fixing strength of the valve assembly 3 in the channel and can maintain a stable installation state under long-term use or vibration conditions, and is not easy to loosen or fall off.

[0039] The end of the water inlet pipe 12 is provided with multiple water inlet grooves 121 distributed circumferentially. The inside of the water inlet pipe 12 forms a water inlet chamber 122. The steam brush body 1 is equipped with a water pump 13. The water inlet end of the water pump 13 is connected to the water inlet chamber 122, and the water outlet end is connected to the steam outlet element inside the body through a water pipe. Through the design of multiple water inlet grooves 121, after the water inlet pipe 12 drives the valve core 33 to leave the annular sealing protrusion 321, water enters the water inlet chamber 122 from the water inlet groove 121, ensuring that the water source can be stably and continuously supplied to the steam outlet element to meet the functional requirements of steam output.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate daily water filling for users, a water inlet 213 is provided on the water tank shell 21. Users can directly fill the water tank by simply disassembling the water tank assembly 2, which simplifies the water filling process and improves the convenience of use.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the steam brush body 1 is provided with a docking buckle 14, and the water tank housing 21 is provided with a docking groove 214 that engages with it. When the water tank is inserted into the body, the two form an auxiliary locking structure through the engagement, which effectively enhances the connection strength and prevents the water tank assembly 2 from becoming loose due to collision or shaking during use. The steam brush body 1 is also provided with a second elastic element 15, which is used to drive the docking buckle 14 away from the body to achieve automatic pop-out or reset. The docking buckle 14 has a guide slope. When the user inserts the water tank assembly 2 into the steam brush body 1, the docking buckle 14 can be engaged into the docking groove 214 under the action of the second elastic element 15 to complete the locking. When disassembly is required, the docking buckle 14 retracts into the steam brush body 1 through the guide slope, which facilitates quick unlocking and improves operating efficiency and user experience.

[0042] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the user first fills the water tank assembly 2 with water. Using the slider 11 on the steam brush body 1 and the sliding groove 211 on the water tank assembly 2, the user inserts the water tank assembly 2 laterally into the steam brush body 1 in a predetermined direction. During insertion, the sliding groove 211 guides and positions the connection, and the step 111 on the slider abuts against the stop 212 on the sliding groove 211, limiting the insertion endpoint. After insertion, the docking buckle 14 on the steam brush body 1 automatically engages with the docking groove 214 on the water tank, achieving stable locking. Simultaneously with the completion of insertion, the water inlet pipe 12 on the steam brush body 1 automatically connects with the valve assembly 3 inside the water tank assembly 2. The valve assembly 3, which was originally closed, is opened under the pressure of the inlet pipe 12, allowing water in the water tank to flow through the water inlet channel 22 and the inlet pipe 12 into the water inlet chamber 122 of the steam brush body 1. After entering the steam brush body 1, the water is drawn in by the built-in water pump 13, which delivers the water to the connected steam outlet element. This element heats the water and quickly converts it into high-temperature steam. Finally, the steam is sprayed out from the steam nozzle for ironing, cleaning, and other operations. When the water tank assembly 2 is not installed in place or is not connected to the inlet pipe 12, the first elastic element 34 in the valve assembly 3 will drive the valve core 33 to press against the inclined sealing surface, maintaining a self-closed state and effectively preventing water leakage from the water tank assembly 2.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
