The depth of the limiting groove 3111 is matched with the length of the second elastic member 3131, so that friction force generated by the first clamping member 51 on the second limiting member 3133 in the process of rotating the first clamping member 51 relative to the second clamping member 31 can not cause the second elastic member 3131 to bend and damage.

In the process of relatively rotating the first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 31, when the second limiting member 3133 is not abutted against the clamping position 5131, the part between the two clamping positions 5131 of the bearing plate 313 is compressed, when the second limiting member 3133 is opposite to one clamping position 5131, under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 3131, the part of the second limiting member 3133 falls into the clamping position 5131, the clamping hand feeling is formed, and the user is prompted to keep the ironing board assembly 50 and the supporting rod 30 relatively static under the angle. The number of the clamping positions 5131 determines the minimum rotation angle of the user during the process of rotating the ironing board assembly 50, referring to fig. 4, in this embodiment, the number of the clamping positions 5131 is 12, that is, the minimum rotation angle of the user during the process of rotating the ironing board assembly 50 is 30 °, and it is understood that the number of the clamping positions 5131 may be more or less, and may be specifically selected according to practical needs.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, an end of the second stopper 3133 facing away from the second elastic member 3131 is hemispherical. The second limiting member 3133 is specifically a steel ball, one side of the steel ball is hemispherical, the other side of the steel ball is provided with a plugging column, the plugging column can be plugged and clamped at the end of the second elastic member 3131, and the hemispherical structure enables the second limiting member 3133 to rotate stably in the process of being transited from one clamping position 5131 to the other clamping position 5131, so that the friction force is small.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the ironing board assembly 50 includes an ironing board 53, and the ironing board 53 is attached to the first catch 51.

The ironing board 53 can provide a plane for ironing clothes for a user, so that the ironing clothes are smoother, the first clamping piece 51 can rotate relative to the second clamping piece 31 on the supporting rod 30 by taking the vertical direction as a rotating shaft, the user can directly rotate the ironing board 53 along the vertical direction according to the requirement, the position of the user does not need to be adjusted to adapt to the angle of the ironing board 53, and the use of the garment steamer 100 by the user is further facilitated.

The garment steamer 100 further comprises a steam pipe (not shown) and an ironing head (not shown), one end of the steam pipe is connected with the host 10, the other end of the steam pipe is connected with the ironing head, an ironing head seat 55 is arranged on one side of the ironing board 53, and the ironing head is detachably connected with the ironing head seat.

The ironing head seat 55 is directly arranged on the ironing board 53, so that the garment steamer 100 is more compact in structure, and is used for taking down the ironing head from the ironing head seat 55 when the ironing head is needed, and is convenient to use and operate when the ironing head is not needed by a user, and the ironing head is placed on the ironing head seat 55. Specifically, the ironing seat 55 is connected to one side edge of the ironing board 53, the ironing seat 55 is provided with a supporting groove 551 adapted to the ironing head, and the ironing head is directly hung in the supporting groove 551, so that the ironing head is convenient to use.

The foregoing description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent structural changes made by the description of the present invention and the accompanying drawings or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the invention.
