Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment steaming technology, specifically to a garment steamer hanger with a clip structure and a garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for clothing. In recent years, various vertical hanging steam irons have been widely used in clothing stores, ordinary households, hotels and restaurants due to their advantages such as fast ironing speed, simple operation, and small size that saves space. Since most garment steamers do not have an ironing table, they always require clothes hangers. When ironing, the hangers need to be hung on the hanging rod of the garment steamer, while the clothes are hung on the hangers.

[0003] Current garment steamers can only hang clothes. When ironing thin fabrics such as silk (e.g., scarves, shawls), they cannot hold the garments in place, resulting in uneven ironing and poor ironing results. Utility Model Content

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a garment steamer hanger with a clip structure, comprising: a hanger body 10, wherein a clip structure 20 is provided at one end or at opposite ends of the hanger body 10.

[0024] The clamp structure 20 includes a clamping plate 21, a first elastic member 22, and a limiting member 23. The clamping plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the hanger body 10. The first elastic member is connected to the clamping plate 21 and the hanger body 10 respectively. The limiting member 23 is mounted on the hanger body 10, and a first limiting part 231 and a second limiting part 232 are formed on the limiting member 23.

[0025] The clamp 21 can rotate upward relative to the hanger body 10 to the open position and downward relative to the hanger body 10 to the clamping position. When the clamp 21 is in the clamping position, the clamp 21 is clamped and engaged with the hanger body 10. The first limiting part 231 is engaged with the clamp 21 to limit the clamp 21 from rotating toward the open position. When the clamp 21 rotates to the open position, the first elastic member 22 is squeezed or pulled by the hanger body 10 and the clamp 21 and undergoes elastic deformation. The second limiting part 232 is engaged with the clamp 21 to limit the clamp 21 from rotating toward the clamping position.

[0026] The working principle of a garment steamer hanger with a clip structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is explained below: When it is necessary to clamp the clothes, the clamp 21 is rotated upward so that the clamp 21 rotates from the clamping position to the open position. Then, at least part of the clothes hanging on the hanger body 10 is inserted between the clamp 21 and the hanger body 10. During the process of the clamp 21 rotating from the clamping position to the open position, the first elastic member 22 will undergo elastic deformation, and part of the clamp 21 will move from the first limiting part 231 to the second limiting part 232. Then, due to the restriction of the second limiting part 232, the clamp 21 will not be driven back to the clamping position by the elastic force of the first elastic member 22, so as to avoid the user having to hold the position of the clamp 21 by hand, and make it convenient for the user to move part of the clothes between the clamp 21 and the hanger body 10. The user then drives the clamp 21 downwards, causing it to rotate from the open position to the clamping position. During this process, part of the clamp 21 moves from the second limiting part 232 to the first limiting part 231. Since the clothing is pressed against the hanger body 10 by the clamp 21, the clamp 21 and the hanger body 10 work together to clamp the clothing, preventing it from falling off the hanger. The first limiting part 231 restricts the position of the clamp 21, keeping it pressed firmly against the clothing and preventing it from loosening. Furthermore, when the clamp 21 is in the clamping position, the first elastic member 22 maintains a certain elastic deformation. The elastic force of the first elastic member 22 acts on the clamp 21, causing it to press the clothing tightly against the hanger body 10, thus improving the stability of the clothing clamping.

[0027] In this embodiment, the example of having clip structures 20 at both ends of the hanger body 10 is described. The two clip structures 20 can press the two sides of the clothes onto the hanger body 10 respectively, resulting in a better fixing effect. Of course, the clip structure 20 can also be set at only one end of the hanger body 10. The clip structure 20 can also press the clothes tightly, so that the clothes are fixed and not easily loosened or wrinkled, and the clothes are prevented from falling off the hanger.

[0028] The clamp 21 can be connected to the inner wall of the movable cavity 11 via a pivot, or it can be rotated and engaged with the clothes hanger body 10 in other suitable ways, without being limited to this example.

[0029] To improve aesthetics and prevent the first elastic element 22 and the limiting element 23 from snagging on or scratching clothing, in some optional embodiments, at least one end of the hanger body 10 is provided with a movable cavity 11, the first elastic element 22 and the limiting element 23 are disposed in the movable cavity 11, and a portion of the clamping plate 21 is rotatably disposed in the movable cavity 11.

[0030] Please see Figure 5The specific structure of the clamp 21 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the clamp 21 includes a clamping part 211, a pressing part 212, and a protrusion 213. The clamping part 211 is connected to the pressing part 212, and the protrusion is disposed between the clamping part 211 and the pressing part 212. At least a portion of the protrusion 213 is rotatably disposed within the movable cavity 11. The first elastic member 22 is connected to the pressing part 212. When the clamp 21 is in the clamping position, the clamping part 211 clamps and engages with the hanger body 10, and the protrusion 213 engages and is limited by the first limiting part 231. When the clamp 21 is rotated to the open position, the protrusion 213 engages and is limited by the second limiting part 232. When the user needs to rotate the clamping part 211 upward, he / she only needs to press the pressing part 212. When the user needs to rotate the clamping part 211 downward, he / she only needs to push the pressing part 212 up. The operation is relatively simple.

[0031] Please see Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the movable cavity 11 is provided with a first positioning part 111 and a second positioning part 112. When the clamping plate 21 is in the clamping position, the protrusion 213 abuts against the first positioning part 111. When the clamping plate 21 moves from the open position to the clamping position, the protrusion 213 abuts against the first positioning part 111 to prevent the protrusion 213 from continuing to rotate, thereby causing the clamping plate 21 to cross the clamping position. When the clamping plate 21 is in the open position, the protrusion 213 abuts against the second positioning part 112. When the clamping plate 21 moves from the clamping position to the open position, the protrusion 213 abuts against the second positioning part 112 to prevent the protrusion 213 from continuing to rotate. In addition, by positioning the protrusion 213 with the first positioning part 111 and the second positioning part 112, the positional stability of the protrusion 213 is improved, thereby improving the overall positional stability of the clamping plate 21.

[0032] In some optional embodiments, a support portion 12 is provided at one end or opposite ends of the hanger body 10, and a support mating portion 214 is provided on the pressing portion 212. The support mating portion 214 and the protrusion 213 are both located between the support portion 12 and the second positioning portion 112. When the clamping plate 21 is in the open position, the support portion 12 abuts against the support mating portion 214. When the pressing portion 212 is pressed down until the support mating portion 214 abuts against the support portion 12, the clamping plate 21 is in the clamping position. The support portion 12 prevents the pressing portion 212 from being over-pressed, so that the clamping plate 21 stops in the accurate position. In this embodiment, the support portion 12 is located at the edge of the cavity opening of the movable cavity 11, and the support mating portion 214 is a support mating groove.

[0033] The specific structure of the first elastic element 22 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the hanger body 10 is provided with a hanger column 13, and the clamp plate 21 is provided with a clamp column 24. The first elastic element 22 is a first spring, with both ends of the first spring respectively sleeved on the hanger column 13 and the clamp column 24. The hanger column 13 and the clamp column 24 facilitate the installation of the first spring. Of course, the first elastic element 22 can also adopt a spring sheet or tension spring structure, etc., and is not limited to this example.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, the first limiting part 231 and the second limiting part 232 are respectively arranged on both sides of the limiting member 23 and gradually approach each other in the upward direction. When the clamping plate 21 moves from the open position to the clamping position, the protrusion 213 will move along the first limiting part 231, then pass over the top of the limiting member 23 and move to the second limiting part 232. Similarly, when the clamping plate 21 moves from the clamping position to the open position, the protrusion 213 will move along the second limiting part 232, then pass over the top of the limiting member 23 and move to the first limiting part 231. The inclined arrangement of the first limiting part 231 and the second limiting part 232 can effectively limit the position of the protrusion 213, and when the clamping plate 21 is subjected to force, it is also convenient for the protrusion 213 to pass over the top of the limiting member 23 and reach the first limiting part 231 or the second limiting part 232.

[0035] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, the clip structure 20 further includes a second elastic member 25, which is connected to the limiting member 23 and the hanger body 10 respectively. The elastic force of the second elastic member 25 drives the limiting member 23 to press against the clamping plate 21. When the clamping plate 21 is in the clamping position, the first limiting part 231 can press against the protrusion 213 of the clamping plate 21, thereby enabling the first limiting part 231 to stably restrict the protrusion 213 of the clamping plate 21. When the clamping plate 21 moves from the open position to the clamping position or from the clamping position to the open position, the protrusion 213 of the clamping plate 21 needs to pass over the top of the limiting member 23, thus squeezing the limiting member 23 downward and causing the second elastic member 25 to undergo elastic deformation. After the protrusion 213 of the clamping plate 21 reaches the first limiting part 231 or the second limiting part 232, the limiting member 23 will move upward back to its original position under the elastic force of the second elastic member 25.

[0036] In addition, due to the inclined design of the first limiting part 231 in this embodiment, when the clamping plate 21 is in the clamping position, the elastic force of the second elastic member 25 tends to drive the protrusion 213 to move downward along the first limiting part 231. If the protrusion 213 needs to move upward along the first limiting part 231 and pass the top of the limiting member 23, the limiting member 23 needs to be pushed downward while overcoming the elastic force of the second elastic member 25. Therefore, the protrusion 213 is not easy to move from the first limiting part 231 to the second limiting part 232, which is conducive to keeping the clamping plate 21 in the clamping position. Similarly, when the clamp 21 is in the open position, the elastic force of the second elastic member 25 tends to drive the protrusion 213 to move downward along the second limiting part 232. If the protrusion 213 needs to move upward along the second limiting part 232 and pass over the top of the limiting member 23, the limiting member 23 needs to be pushed downward while overcoming the elastic force of the second elastic member 25. Therefore, the protrusion 213 is not easy to move from the second limiting part 232 to the first limiting part 231, which helps to keep the clamp 21 in the open position.

[0037] The specific structure of the second elastic element 25 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, a guide groove 14 is provided on the clothes hanger body 10, the second elastic element 25 is a second spring, the second spring is installed in the guide groove 14, and a portion of the limiting member 23 is movably disposed in the guide groove 14 and connected to the second spring. The guide groove 14 is beneficial for guiding the direction of the elastic deformation of the second spring, and also for guiding the movement of the limiting member 23. When the protrusion 213 of the clamping plate 21 passes the top of the limiting member 23, it will press the limiting member 23 into the guide groove 14, causing the second spring to undergo elastic deformation. Of course, the second elastic element 25 can also adopt a sheet or tension spring structure, etc., and is not limited to this example.

[0038] In this embodiment, the hanger upright 13, the second elastic element 25, and the guide groove 14 are also disposed in the movable cavity 11, thereby preventing these structures from snagging on clothing.

[0039] The aforementioned garment steamer hanger with a clip structure can be used in a garment steamer, which includes: the aforementioned garment steamer hanger with a clip structure.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
