[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and in particular to a garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] The application scenario for garment steamers is to hang up wrinkled clothes and use the steam sprayed from the ironing head to smooth out the wrinkles. The top of the garment steamer has a hanger and a hook for hanging clothes. Below the hook is an ironing board. Clothes can be hung directly on the hanger or hung separately on the hook using a hanger. When ironing clothes, the high-temperature steam sprayed from the ironing head wets and heats the clothes, and then the flat surface in front of the ironing head flattens the clothes.

[0003] Current garment steamers typically use a fixed hook design, where clothes are hung on hooks via hangers and ironed in front of the ironing board. However, since the width of garments is often greater than the effective ironing area of ​​the ironing board, the areas on the sides of the garment that extend beyond the ironing board cannot be ironed effectively. Furthermore, the current fixed hook design cannot meet the ironing needs of garments of different sizes and models, affecting the ironing results. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a garment steamer, including a main unit 1, a support assembly 2, an ironing board 4, a guide rail assembly 6, and a hook assembly 5; the main unit 1 is connected to an ironing head 8 via a steam pipe 3; the support assembly 2 is disposed on the main unit 1; the ironing board 4 is disposed on the support assembly 2; preferably, the ironing board 4 is slidably disposed on the support assembly 2; the guide rail assembly 6 is disposed on the support assembly 2 and is located close to the ironing board 4; the hook assembly 5 is slidably disposed on the guide rail assembly 6.

[0021] Traditional garment steamers have fixed hook positions, making it impossible to adjust the garment laterally after hanging, resulting in difficulty ironing the edges. In contrast, this application uses a hook assembly 5 that is slidably mounted on a guide rail assembly 6, with the guide rail assembly 6 positioned close to the ironing board 4. By sliding the hook assembly 5 left and right, the garment can be shifted laterally to adjust the lateral position between the hanging garment and the ironing board 4. This allows different parts of the garment to be aligned with the ironing board 4, moving areas that originally extended beyond the ironing board 4 to directly above it. This ensures that the steam nozzle can cover these areas, solving the problem of not being able to iron the sides of the garment that extend beyond the ironing board 4.

[0022] In other words, regardless of whether the width of the garment exceeds the ironing board 4, the user can move the unironed area to the front of the ironing board 4 by sliding the hook assembly 5 to achieve full coverage ironing. This eliminates the need to repeatedly remove and reattach the hanger or frequently adjust the position of the garment. The sliding and ironing actions can be completed with one hand, solving the problem of incomplete ironing caused by the mismatch between the width of the garment and the ironing board. At the same time, it simplifies the user's operation and significantly improves efficiency.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide rail assembly 6 has a guide rail groove 61; the hook assembly 5 has a slider 521 that fits into the guide rail groove 61; wherein, the slider 521 is embedded in the guide rail groove 61 to drive the hook assembly 5 to slide within the guide rail groove 61. The cooperation between the guide rail groove 61 and the slider 521 enables the hook assembly 5 to move and be guided on the guide rail assembly 6, ensuring that the hook assembly 5 can only slide in a preset direction on the guide rail assembly 6, such as horizontal left and right sliding, to avoid deviation or wobbling and improve its stability. Simultaneously, the slider 521, embedded in the guide rail groove 61, forms a mechanical limit to prevent the hook assembly 5 from detaching from the guide rail due to external force, improving safety. Furthermore, the guide rail groove 61 integrates the sliding structure inside the guide rail assembly 6, avoiding exposed mechanical parts, resulting in a simpler overall appearance and reducing the risk of clothing snagging. Preferably, scale markings or limit points can also be added to the guide rail groove 61 to help users accurately locate the position of the hook assembly 5, such as distinguishing between the left sleeve and right hem areas.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide rail groove 61 includes a support portion embedded in the support assembly 2; it also includes a first groove and a second groove symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support portion, and integrally formed with the support portion to avoid assembly errors; preferably, the cross-sections of the first groove and the second groove are C-shaped, forming a sliding channel for the hook component; the first groove and the second groove are respectively provided with a rib 62 facing the support portion; the rib 62 abuts against the hook assembly 5. The first groove includes a first end and a second end arranged at an angle; the first end is connected to the support portion, and the second end is arranged opposite to the support portion; the first rib 62 is located at the second end and faces the support portion; the second groove includes a third end and a fourth end arranged at an angle, the third end is connected to the support portion, and the fourth end is arranged opposite to the support portion; the second rib 62 is located at the fourth end and faces the support portion; the first rib 62 and the second rib 62 are spaced apart. Furthermore, the support portion is embedded in the support component 2, serving as the core load-bearing skeleton of the guide rail to ensure overall rigidity. The first and second grooves are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the support portion, cooperating with the hook component 5 to form a double-track sliding channel, preventing deformation of one side of the track due to the weight of clothing or frequent sliding. The rib 62, as a locally thickened structure, is located inside the double grooves, facing the support portion, directly abutting against the hook component 5, resisting the lateral pressure of the hook component 5, limiting its vertical movement, providing sliding guidance and limiting, ensuring smooth sliding, and extending the life of the guide rail. In addition, the hook component 5 is confined between the double grooves to prevent lateral swaying; even if the hook component 5 is subjected to unexpected lateral force, such as clothing pulling, the rib 62 can prevent it from dislodging from the guide rail groove 61. Preferably, a silicone layer can also be added to the contact surface between the rib 62 and the hook component 5 to achieve a slow-stop effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the hook assembly 5 includes a detachably connected hook cover 51 and hook seat 52, which together form a receiving cavity; wherein the hook cover 51 and hook seat 52 are threadedly connected; the receiving cavity is provided with a damping assembly 10 to provide adjustable sliding resistance; the damping assembly 10 is connected to a button assembly 9, one end of the button assembly 9 facing away from the damping assembly 10 is exposed on the side of the hook cover 51; preferably, the button assembly 9 is activated by a button within the receiving cavity. Spring 15 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the hook cover 51 opposite to the end exposed on the button assembly 9; the damping assembly 10 is provided with a damping rib 13 at the end opposite to the button assembly 9, the damping rib 13 is connected to the hook seat 52 and abuts against the protruding rib 62; preferably, the damping assembly 10 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the hook seat 52 opposite to the hook cover 51 in the receiving cavity by a damping spring 11; a gasket 12 is provided between the damping spring 11 and the hook seat 52.

[0026] Understandably, pressing the button assembly 9 compresses the button spring 15. The inclined surface on the button assembly 9 pushes the damping assembly 10 towards the hook seat 52, compressing the spring at the rear end of the damping assembly 10. The damping rib 13 on the damping assembly 10 disengages from the guide rail groove 61 protrusion rib 62, thereby unlocking the hook damping state. When the hook assembly 5 is unlocked, the entire hook assembly 5 can move left and right on the guide rail assembly 6. After releasing the button assembly 9, the button spring 15 returns to its original state, pushing the button assembly 9 outward. At the same time, the damping spring 11 also returns to its original state, pressing the damping rib 13 on the damping assembly 10 against the protrusion rib 62 of the guide rail groove 61 to form a damping effect, thereby locking the hook assembly 5 in the corresponding position on the guide rail assembly 6. Specifically, when the hook assembly 5 slides normally on the guide rail assembly 6, the damping rib 13 is in close contact with the protrusion rib 62, generating moderate friction, so that the hook assembly 5 has a stop feel when moving, preventing random drifting. Preferably, the damping rib 13 continuously abuts against the rib 62, providing frictional resistance under normal conditions to prevent the hook from shifting due to steam jet vibration or clothing pulling. When the hook assembly 5 is quickly adjusted, pressing the button assembly 9 compresses the damping assembly 10, causing the damping rib 13 to separate from the rib 62, allowing the hook assembly 5 to slide freely on the guide rail assembly 6. When the position of the hook assembly 5 is locked, releasing the button assembly 9 resets the damping rib 13, causing it to press against the rib 62 again, thus fixing the position of the hook assembly 5 on the guide rail. The damping effect is achieved simply by the damping rib 13 and the rib 62 coming into contact under stress.

[0027] That is, when the hook assembly 5 needs to be moved left or right, press the button assembly 9 on the side of the hook assembly 5 to release the damping contact, and then release the button assembly 9 to restore the damping contact when the hook assembly 5 is moved to the desired position. This will adjust the positional relationship between the hook assembly 5 and the ironing board 4, thereby adjusting the position between the clothes and the ironing board 4 to solve the problem that some areas of the clothes cannot be ironed.

[0028] It is important to note that the hook assembly 5 and the guide rail assembly 6 are equipped with a position locking mechanism, such as a snap-fit ​​or knob, to ensure stability after adjustment. Specifically, in this application, this position locking mechanism is a button assembly 9. The external design of the button assembly 9 allows the user to press it with one hand to release the damping and quickly adjust the hook position without additional tools, making operation convenient. Compared to traditional screw-fixed hooks, the adjustment efficiency of this application is greatly improved. It also features an anti-accidental-touch design, requiring a certain amount of pressure to unlock the button assembly 9, preventing accidental operation by children that could cause the hook to slip. Preferably, a silicone sealing ring is added at the joint between the button assembly 9 and the hook cover 51 to prevent steam from entering the receiving cavity. Furthermore, the detachable design of the hook cover 51 and the hook base 52 facilitates cleaning of dust or scale in the guide rail groove 61, and also means that in case of damage, only the damping assembly 10 needs to be replaced, without scrapping the entire hook assembly 5. The same hook base 52 can be adapted to hook covers 51 with different functions, such as rotating hooks and telescopic hooks.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hook seat 52 includes a first seat portion, a second seat portion, and a connecting portion. The two ends of the connecting portion are respectively connected to the first seat portion and the second seat portion. One end of the connecting portion near the second seat portion is inserted into the guide rail groove 61 and is spaced apart from the protruding rib 62. The first seat portion is connected to the hook cover 51. The second seat portion is embedded in the guide rail groove 61 and has a slider 521 arranged along the direction near the connecting portion. The slider 521 is arranged near the first groove portion and the second groove portion.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hook seat 52 adopts a three-part modular design, namely the first seat part, the second seat part, and the connecting part, and forms a precise fit with the guide rail groove 61 and the slider 521. Its core advantage lies in achieving a balance between rigid support and flexible sliding, while optimizing space utilization and assembly accuracy. Specifically: The first seat connects to the hook cover 51, serving as the user interface, such as the exposed area of ​​the button assembly 9; the second seat is embedded in the guide rail groove 61 and integrates a slider 521. The slider 521 directly contacts the first and second grooves, and simultaneously adheres tightly to both grooves, forming two-point limiting to provide sliding guidance; the two ends of the connecting part are respectively fixed to the first and second seats, forming a cantilever beam structure, transferring the weight of the clothing borne by the hook assembly 5 to the slider 521 of the second seat, and then distributing it to the double grooves of the guide rail assembly 6, avoiding stress concentration at a single point; one end near the second seat is inserted into the guide rail groove 61, but maintains a distance from the rib 62, meaning the connecting part does not contact the rib 62, and only slides through the slider 521 in cooperation with the double grooves, reducing movement resistance. Furthermore, the second seat has a built-in slider 521, completely concealing the sliding structure within the guide rail groove 61, resulting in a simple appearance and dustproof design. Preferably, a magnet can be added to the second seat to cooperate with the metal marker in the guide rail groove 61 to achieve a click-like positioning feel.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hook cover 51 includes a first cover, a second cover, and a hook portion. The first cover and the second cover are respectively connected to the two ends of the hook portion. The first cover is provided with the button assembly 9. The second cover is connected to the first seat portion. The second cover and the first seat portion are threadedly connected. The diameter of the hook portion is smaller than the diameter of the first cover portion and the diameter of the hook portion is smaller than the diameter of the second cover portion, so as to form a hook groove 14 for hanging clothes hangers or clothing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hook cover 51 adopts a stepped groove structure formed by three sections with different diameters. Specifically, the first cover, the second cover, and the hook section are arranged in a stepped manner, forming the hook groove 14 through diameter changes. The diameter of the hook section is reduced to provide sufficient hanging space for clothing, thus achieving stable hanging. There is clear tactile feedback; when the hanger slides into the hook groove 14, there is a distinct feeling of it settling in, and even if the garment steamer is tilted or moved, the hanger remains firmly in the groove. Preferably, an LED light strip is embedded in the hook groove 14 to improve visibility in dim environments. Magnetic points can also be provided at the hook groove 14 to assist in positioning the metal hanger. Preferably, the hook section has a surface texture design, such as anti-slip stripes.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, limiting covers 63 are provided on both sides of the guide rail groove 61, forming a closed sliding channel with the guide rail groove 61 and the hook slider 521 to form a physical barrier and prevent the hook assembly 5 from falling off from both sides of the guide rail.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it also includes a hanger assembly 7, which is detachably mounted on the end of the support assembly 2 away from the main unit 1 of the garment steamer. In addition to directly using the hook assembly 5 for ironing, the hanger assembly 7 can be added for batch processing, allowing multiple garments to be hung and ironed simultaneously, thus improving ironing efficiency. That is, in small spaces, only the basic hook assembly 5 can be used; in large spaces, the hanger assembly 7 can be added to handle multiple garments. The hanger assembly 7 can also be used in conjunction with the support assembly 2 via a telescopic rod to achieve height adjustment, accommodating different heights. Furthermore, when disassembling and storing, the hanger assembly 7 can be removed, allowing the device to be stored on a wall or in a narrow space.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the clothes hanger assembly 7 has a nozzle placement part 71 on the side opposite to the ironing board 4, for placing the ironing head 8 connected to the garment steamer main unit 1. Preferably, the garment steamer main unit 1 is equipped with components such as a water tank and a steam heater. The steam pipe 3 assembly may include a steam pipe 3 and an ironing head 8 connected to the end of the steam pipe 3. The water in the water tank is heated into steam by the steam heater, and the steam is sprayed out from the ironing head 8 through the steam pipe 3, using the sprayed steam to iron the clothes hanging on the ironing board 4. When ironing with the handheld ironing head 8, the ironing head 8 can be directly removed from the nozzle placement part 71 for ironing, and can be placed back on the nozzle placement part 71 after use; when the ironing head 8 is hanging, the standby mode is automatically triggered when the ironing head 8 is placed back on the nozzle placement part 71 to avoid the risk of tangling caused by the ironing head 8 being hung arbitrarily; preferably, the nozzle placement part 71 adopts a hollow heat insulation structure to avoid burns when taking off and putting away the ironing head 8; a water tray can also be integrated at the bottom of the nozzle placement part 71 to collect the condensate water from the ironing head 8.

[0036] It is known that the length of the guide rail assembly 6 and the sliding range of the hook assembly 5 determine the adjustable range of the relative position between the garment and the ironing board 4. Therefore, as long as the length of the guide rail assembly 6 is designed reasonably, such as covering the outer extension areas on both sides of the ironing board 4, it can effectively cover the common extra-wide parts of the garment. Thus, the length of the guide rail assembly 6 can be increased to be greater than or equal to the width of the ironing board 4, further extending the guide rail assembly 6 to the outer side of the ironing board 4, thereby expanding the adjustment range; specifically as follows: In this embodiment, the length of the guide rail assembly 6 is at least equal to the width of the ironing board 4. Preferably, the length of the guide rail assembly 6 is equal to the width of the ironing board 4, and the hook assembly 5 can slide along the guide rail assembly 6 throughout its length, ensuring that the left and right edges of the garment are aligned with the two side boundaries of the ironing board 4. This eliminates the need for an excessively long guide rail assembly 6, resulting in a compact overall structure that saves space and is suitable for most regular garments, such as shirts and jackets. Specifically, when the width of the garment does not exceed the width of the ironing board 4, the garment can be centered by sliding the hook assembly 5 to ensure full coverage by the ironing board 4. When the width of the garment slightly exceeds the width of the ironing board 4, the excess portion on one side can be moved above the ironing board 4 by offsetting the hook assembly 5, allowing the user to adjust the ironing process in stages. Preferably, an extension section can be added to the original guide rail assembly 6, such as a folding or telescopic design, which can be folded away to save space when not in use and unfolded when needed. In other words, the guide rail assembly 6 consists of a main rail (equal to the width of the ironing board 4) plus a detachable extension rail, allowing the user to expand as needed. In addition, recommended sliding zones, such as the regular clothing zone and the extra-wide extended zone, can be marked on the guide rail assembly 6 to guide users to quickly locate the garment steamer. Understandably, when the hook assembly 5 slides to the extra-wide position, the base counterweight or support assembly 2 needs to be strengthened for stability to prevent the garment steamer from tipping over.

[0037] In other embodiments, the length of the guide rail assembly 6 is greater than the width of the ironing board 4. A one-piece guide rail assembly 6 is used, meaning the sliding range of the hook assembly 5 extends beyond both sides of the ironing board 4, allowing for a greater lateral offset of the garment. This enables the extra-wide portion of the garment to be pulled directly above the ironing board 4 without the need for multiple adjustments. This is particularly suitable for various household applications, such as ironing large fabrics like curtains and bed sheets.

[0038] In other embodiments, the guide rail assembly 6 may be vertically arranged on the support assembly 2 or rotatably arranged on the support assembly 2 to further adapt to different types of clothing, thereby achieving multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment.
