Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When using a traditional garment steamer, because there is no steaming board, ironing usually requires one hand to hold the clothes while the other hand operates the steamer, slowly moving the steaming brush head to use steam to soften the clothes. This is slow, consumes a lot of electricity, and cannot achieve a very smooth finish.

[0003] Some products on the market attempt to solve the above problems with steam garment steamers, adding an ironing plate. However, if the ironing plate is too small, longer garments or trousers can only be partially pressed and ironed. If the ironing plate is too large, it affects packaging and increases transportation costs. It may also directly affect the stability of the garment steamer, increasing the risk of tipping over and causing burns.

[0004] Some handheld steam irons on the market have solved the problem of not having an ironing board. However, handheld irons often have a heavy weight due to the presence of a boiler, electric water pump, motor, and other electrical components inside the machine, especially when the water tank is full, which affects the user experience. To reduce weight, manufacturers often reduce the boiler size and steam output, or reduce the water tank capacity and continuous ironing time. Furthermore, because the electrodes and water pump are inside the machine, they are relatively close to the user's ears. The combined noise from these two factors often exceeds 70 decibels.

[0005] The above-mentioned problems have led some consumers to avoid choosing this type of product due to its poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a garment steamer to solve one of the problems raised in the background art.

[0032] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0033] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: base 1, brush head 2, hanger 3, hose 4, panel 5, housing 6, boiler 7, nozzle 8, air intake 9, steam outlet 10, connector 11, air outlet box 12, air outlet 13, suction motor 14, handle 15, isolation panel 16, groove 17, control board 18, power cord 19, signal line 20, water inlet pipe 21, power board box 22, power board 23, air outlet 24, cable outlet hole 25, cooling pipe 26, water pump 27, steel wire 28, air intake pipe 29, connecting pipe 30, and cable hole 31.

[0034] As attached Figure 1-10 As shown in the illustration, this embodiment demonstrates a garment steamer including a base 1, a brush head 2, and a clothes hanger 3. The clothes hanger 3 is mounted on the base 1 for hanging clothes to be ironed. The brush head 2 is connected to the base 1 via a flexible hose 4. The brush head 2 includes a panel 5, a housing 6, a boiler 7, and a nozzle 8. The boiler 7 generates steam, and the nozzle 8 draws in air; both the boiler 7 and the nozzle 8 are housed within the housing 6. The panel 5 is mounted on one side of the housing 6 and has two openings: a steam outlet 10, which communicates with the boiler 7 to direct steam to the clothes; and an air intake 9, which communicates with the nozzle 8 to draw in air.

[0035] To achieve the suction function, an air intake pipe 29 is installed inside the flexible hose 4 connecting the brush head 2 and the base 1. An exhaust channel is provided on the base 1. One end of the air intake pipe 29 connects to the nozzle 8 on the brush head 2, and the other end connects to the exhaust channel on the base 1. Crucially, a suction motor 14 is installed inside this exhaust channel. When the suction motor 14 operates, it draws in air from the air intake port 9 of the brush head 2. The airflow passes through the nozzle 8, the air intake pipe 29, and the exhaust channel, and is finally discharged from the outlet connected to the outside.

[0036] Specifically, the exhaust channel structure includes: a connector 11 located inside the base 1, an air outlet box 12, and an air outlet 13 located on the outer wall of the base 1. A flexible hose 4 is connected to this connector 11. One end of the suction pipe 29 is connected to this connector 11. The other end of the connector 11 is connected to the air outlet box 12. The suction motor 14 is directly housed inside the connector 11. Thus, the airflow path is very clear: air is drawn in from the brush head 2, enters the connector 11 via the suction pipe 29, is driven by the suction motor 14, enters the air outlet box 12, and finally exits from the air outlet 13 to the outside of the machine.

[0037] To facilitate handheld operation, a handle 15 is provided between the hose 4 and the nozzle 8 of the brush head 2. The suction tube 29 for air suction passes through the interior of this handle 15, making the overall structure compact.

[0038] At the end where the nozzle 8 connects to the suction pipe 29, a connecting pipe 30 is provided to ensure the air passage is sealed and securely connected. In addition, the nozzle 8 has wiring holes 31 on both sides of the connecting pipe 30, which provide space for other wiring to pass through.

[0039] To protect the boiler 7 and guide the steam, a surrounding partition 16 is provided on the side of the nozzle 8 near the panel 5, within which the boiler 7 is housed. Correspondingly, a groove 17 is provided on the panel 5, the shape of which matches the partition 16. The steam outlet 10 is located within this groove 17; this design helps to concentrate the steam output and reduce heat loss.

[0040] The hose 4 integrates various pipelines to meet the functional requirements of the whole machine. These pipelines include: a power line 19 for supplying power to the boiler 7, a signal line 20 for transmitting signals, and a water inlet pipe 21 for supplying water to the boiler 7.

[0041] A power board box 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base 1, and a power board 23 is installed inside the box. In order to dissipate heat from the power board 23, an air vent 24 is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the power board box 22. This air vent 24 is connected to the internal space of the power board box 22, which can form an airflow to carry away heat.

[0042] A cable outlet 25 is also provided on the connector 11 inside the base 1. The power cord 19, signal cord 20, and water inlet pipe 21 mentioned above enter the connector 11 through this cable outlet 25 from inside the base 1, then pass through the flexible hose 4, and finally lead to the brush head 2. In order to enhance the heat dissipation effect, a cooling pipe 26 is also connected between the power board box 22 and the connector 11, which can use part of the airflow generated by the suction motor 14 to provide forced air cooling for the power board 23.

[0043] The base 1 also houses a water pump 27, with an inlet pipe 21 connecting the water pump 27 and the boiler 7, responsible for supplying water from the pump 27 to the boiler 7 for heating. A power cord 19 connects the power board 23 and the boiler 7 for power transmission. A signal cord 20 connects the power board 23 and the control board 18 for control functions.

[0044] Finally, to enhance the durability and resistance to deformation of the hose 4, steel wire 28 is wound around the outside or inside of the hose 4, which makes the hose 4 less prone to damage when repeatedly bent and better able to maintain its shape.

[0045] In summary, this garment steamer integrates the steam generation system and the suction system into the brush head 2, and connects it to the base 1 via a flexible hose 4 with built-in multi-functional pipelines, forming a fully functional unit. Its structural design considers the rational arrangement and safe isolation of the air, water, and electrical circuits, while also emphasizing heat dissipation of key components and the overall durability of the machine.

[0046] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
