Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment steamer technology, specifically to an adsorption-type handheld garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Garment steamers, a common household ironing device, use high-temperature steam to smooth clothes. They are widely popular due to their ease of use and lack of damage to fabrics. Traditional upright garment steamers are relatively large, while handheld garment steamers, with their compact and portable features, are gradually becoming the mainstream in the market.

[0003] The core components of existing handheld garment steamers typically include: a water tank, a boiler, a water pump, steam pipes, steam nozzles, and a housing that contains these components. The boiler generates a large amount of heat during operation, and to ensure a continuous and stable supply of steam, some handheld garment steamers integrate the small motor that drives the water pump inside the machine body.

[0004] However, this compact internal layout often leads to excessively high temperatures in the handle area, affecting user experience and safety. In many existing designs, to balance the weight of the machine or shorten piping, the steam generator or high-temperature steam channel is often placed near the handle. When the device operates for extended periods, heat is directly conducted to the handle through the casing material, causing a significant increase in the handle's surface temperature. This not only makes it uncomfortable for users to hold, reducing the ironing experience, but in extreme cases, it can even cause skin burns, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an adsorption-type handheld garment steamer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the adsorption-type handheld garment steamer of this utility model has the following advantages: This invention designs the air inlet housing as an integrated structure comprising an annular inlet and a channel, directly connecting it to the ironing panel to form a highly efficient and compact adsorption air duct. This simplifies the overall structure while achieving the function of adsorbing and smoothing clothes. The boiler is located inside the outer shell, and the motor is positioned at the end of the handle. A dedicated heat-insulating air pipe is installed inside the handle to connect to the air inlet channel. This design effectively isolates the high-temperature heat source from the grip area, significantly reducing the surface temperature of the handle and fundamentally solving the problem of overheating of the handle in traditional handheld garment steamers after prolonged use, ensuring operational comfort and safety.

[0015] In addition, the lower-mounted motor reduces the overall center of gravity of the machine, and the rear-mounted water tank facilitates disassembly and water filling, making operation more labor-saving and convenient.
