Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment steamer technology, and more specifically, to a handheld garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, handheld garment steamers often suffer from unstable connections between the water tank and the main body. The water tank, a core component of the steamer, stores water and supplies steam. However, the connection design between the water tank and the main body often fails to adequately consider stability and ease of use, leading to the water tank easily detaching or loosening due to vibration or improper operation during use. Detachment not only interrupts the water supply, affecting ironing results, but can also cause water leakage, increasing safety hazards.

[0003] Furthermore, the installation and removal process of the water tank is often not designed with sufficient convenience. Most current garment steamer water tank designs rely on simple slots or clips for fixation, requiring alignment between the water tank and the machine body. However, due to inaccurate slot positioning or inflexible clip design, users often find it difficult to install or remove the water tank. This is especially true when the water tank is heavy or the interface is difficult to align, potentially requiring users to spend considerable time adjusting, increasing inconvenience.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 A handheld garment steamer includes a garment steamer body 1, a quick-connect mechanism, a position locking mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. The quick-connect mechanism includes a water tank 2 and a mating handle 3. The mating handle 3 is installed at the top of one end of the water tank 2, and a mating plate 4 is installed at one end of the mating handle 3. A locking rod 5 is installed on one end face of the mating plate 4. A hand handle 6 is installed at the top of the garment steamer body 1, and a locking tube 7 is connected to one end of the hand handle 6. The position locking mechanism includes a rotating sleeve 8 and an insert block 9. The rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the locking tube 7. An inner wall groove 10 is formed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 8, and the insert block 9 is rotatably installed in the inner wall groove 10. A locking groove 11 is formed on the outer wall of the locking rod 5. A winding spring 12 is installed between the inner wall groove 10 and the insert block 9, and the winding spring 12 can push the insert block 9 into the locking groove 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, a quick connection is achieved between the water tank 2 and the garment steamer body 1. A mating plate 4 is installed on the mating handle 3 at the top of the water tank 2. The locking rod 5 at the end of the mating plate 4 can be inserted into the locking tube 7 at the end of the handle 6 of the garment steamer body 1. During connection, the user inserts the water tank 2 into the water tank 18 of the garment steamer body 1, and at the same time, the locking rod 5 is inserted into the locking tube 7 to complete the initial connection. During separation, the locking rod 5 is pulled out from the locking tube 7, and the water tank 2 separates from the garment steamer body 1. The push spring 21 on the mating plate 4 provides elastic assistance during the separation process, making it easier for the water tank 2 to separate from the garment steamer. When the water tank 2 is removed from the main body 1, the locking mechanism ensures the stability of the connection between the water tank 2 and the main body 1 of the garment steamer. When the locking rod 5 is inserted into the locking tube 7, the rotating sleeve 8 on the outer wall of the locking tube 7 starts to work. The embedded block 9 in the groove 10 on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 8 is automatically embedded into the slot 11 on the outer wall of the locking rod 5 under the push of the rotating spring 12, forming a mechanical lock to prevent the locking rod 5 from accidentally coming out and to ensure that the water tank 2 is firmly connected to the main body 1 of the garment steamer. When unlocking, the rotating sleeve 8 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the opening of the locking tube 7 pushes the embedded block 9 away from the slot 11, releasing the locking rod 5 so that the water tank 2 can be removed.

[0023] The clamping mechanism includes an outer rotating sleeve 13 and a spinning plate 14. An outer retaining ring 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 7, and the outer rotating sleeve 13 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the outer retaining ring 15. A clamping spring rod 16 is installed on the outer retaining ring 15. A spinning plate 14 is installed at the top end of the outer rotating sleeve 13, and a bottom ring 17 is installed at the bottom end of the rotating sleeve 8. The rotation of the spinning plate 14 presses against the clamping spring rod 16, so that the clamping spring rod 16 is stably embedded in the bottom ring 17.

[0024] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism provides additional stability to the position locking mechanism. The outer retaining ring 15 on the outer wall of the locking tube 7 works in conjunction with the outer rotating sleeve 13. During use, rotating the outer rotating sleeve 13 causes the top spin plate 14 to press against the compression spring rod 16 on the outer retaining ring 15, causing the compression spring rod 16 to embed into the bottom ring 17 at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 8. The increased friction design on the surface of the bottom ring 17 enhances the fixing effect, ensuring that the rotating sleeve 8 will not loosen accidentally. The double locking design greatly improves the stability and security of the connection. To unlock, rotating the outer rotating sleeve 13 in the opposite direction causes the spin plate 14 to release the compression spring rod 16, thus releasing the lock on the bottom ring 17.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As a supplementary embodiment of a handheld garment steamer with a quick-connect mechanism, a position locking mechanism, and a pressing mechanism: A water tank 18 is provided on the garment steamer body 1, and the water tank 2 can be directionally extended into the water tank 18. A support plate 19 is installed at one end of the handle 6. The clamping tube 7 is fixedly installed on the support plate 19. A bottom support plate 20 is installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the clamping tube 7, and the outer rotating sleeve 13 is set to rotate at the upper limit of the bottom support plate 20. A push spring 21 is installed at one end of the mating plate 4, and one end face of the push spring 21 is in contact with the bottom support plate 20. The surface of the bottom ring 17 is designed to increase friction. The pressing spring rod 16 extends into the bottom ring 17 to fix the bottom ring 17 and the rotating sleeve 8. The reverse rotation of the rotating sleeve 8 causes the opening of the clamping tube 7 to push the embedded block 9 away from the slot 11.

[0026] More specifically, the user inserts the water tank 2 into the water tank 18 of the garment steamer body 1, and simultaneously inserts the locking rod 5 on the mating handle 3 into the locking tube 7 at the end of the hand handle 6. The embedded block 9 in the position locking mechanism automatically embeds into the slot 11 of the locking rod 5 under the action of the rotating spring 12, initially locking the position. Then, the outer rotating sleeve 13 is rotated, causing the pressure plate 14 to press against the pressure spring rod 16. The pressure spring rod 16 is embedded into the bottom ring 17, forming a secondary lock to ensure a stable connection. At this time, the water tank 2 is firmly connected to the garment steamer body 1 and can be used safely. First, rotate the outer rotating sleeve 13 in the opposite direction to release the locking mechanism; then rotate the rotating sleeve 8 in the opposite direction to disengage the embedded block 9 from the slot 11; finally, with the help of the elastic force provided by the push spring 21 on the mating plate 4, the water tank 2 can be easily removed from the garment steamer body 1. The whole process is quick and convenient, without the need for tools.

[0027] In summary, when the entire device is in use or operation: when the quick-connect mechanism needs to be activated to achieve a quick connection between the water tank 2 and the garment steamer body 1, a mating plate 4 is installed on the mating handle 3 at the top of the water tank 2. The locking rod 5 at the end of the mating plate 4 can be inserted into the locking tube 7 at the end of the handle 6 of the garment steamer body 1. During connection, the user inserts the water tank 2 into the water tank 18 of the garment steamer body 1, and at the same time, the locking rod 5 is inserted into the locking tube 7 to complete the initial connection. During separation, the locking rod 5 is pulled out from the locking tube 7, and the water tank 2 separates from the garment steamer body 1. The push spring 21 on the mating plate 4 provides elastic assistance during the separation process, making it easier to remove the water tank 2 from the garment steamer body 1.

[0028] When the position locking mechanism is in operation, it ensures the stability of the connection between the water tank 2 and the garment steamer body 1. When the locking rod 5 is inserted into the locking tube 7, the rotating sleeve 8 on the outer wall of the locking tube 7 starts to work. The embedded block 9 in the groove 10 on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 8 is automatically embedded into the slot 11 on the outer wall of the locking rod 5 under the push of the rotating spring 12, forming a mechanical lock to prevent the locking rod 5 from accidentally coming out and to ensure that the water tank 2 and the garment steamer body 1 are firmly connected. When unlocking, the rotating sleeve 8 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the opening of the locking tube 7 pushes the embedded block 9 away from the slot 11, releasing the locking rod 5 so that the water tank 2 can be removed.

[0029] When the clamping mechanism is in operation, it provides additional stability to the position locking mechanism. The outer retaining ring 15 on the outer wall of the locking tube 7 works in conjunction with the outer rotating sleeve 13. In use, the outer rotating sleeve 13 is rotated, and the top spin plate 14 presses against the compression spring rod 16 on the outer retaining ring 15, so that the compression spring rod 16 is embedded in the bottom ring 17 at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 8. The increased friction design on the surface of the bottom ring 17 increases the fixing effect and ensures that the rotating sleeve 8 will not loosen accidentally. The double locking design greatly improves the stability and safety of the connection. When unlocking, the outer rotating sleeve 13 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the spin plate 14 releases the compression spring rod 16, releasing the lock on the bottom ring 17.

[0030] The user inserts the water tank 2 into the water tank 18 of the garment steamer body 1, and simultaneously inserts the locking rod 5 on the mating handle 3 into the locking tube 7 at the end of the hand handle 6. The embedded block 9 in the position locking mechanism automatically embeds into the slot 11 of the locking rod 5 under the action of the rotating spring 12, initially locking the position. Then, the outer rotating sleeve 13 is rotated, causing the pressure plate 14 to press against the pressure spring rod 16. The pressure spring rod 16 is embedded into the bottom ring 17, forming a secondary lock to ensure a stable connection. At this time, the water tank 2 is firmly connected to the garment steamer body 1 and can be used safely. First, rotate the outer rotating sleeve 13 in the opposite direction to release the locking mechanism; then rotate the rotating sleeve 8 in the opposite direction to disengage the embedded block 9 from the slot 11; finally, with the help of the elastic force provided by the push spring 21 on the mating plate 4, the water tank 2 can be easily removed from the garment steamer body 1. The whole process is quick and convenient, without the need for tools.

[0031] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
