Specifically, the household appliance 100 may be a steamer, an ironing machine, an electric iron, a sterilizer, a humidifier, a cleaning mop, a sweeping robot, or the like. The kinds of these household appliances 100 are only different in specific shapes and functions, and their main structures are consistent, for example: the function of the garment steamer is steam ironing, the function of the ironing machine is steam ironing, the function of the electric iron is steam ironing, the function of the sterilizer is steam sterilization, the function of the humidifier is steam humidification, the function of the cleaning mop is steam cleaning, and the function of the sweeping robot is steam cleaning and the like. However, it is common for the main unit 110, the first container 130, and the steam system 120, and other components in the present invention. Therefore, a garment steamer will be described below as an example.

And thus the liquid in the first container 130, can enter the steam system 120, so that the steam system 120 can evaporate the liquid to generate steam, thereby realizing the ironing of the steam.

The liquid here may be water or a mixture of water and other substances, for example: disinfectants, cleaners, fragrances, and the like.

While the volume of the containing cavity of the first container 130 can be changed, specifically, the containing cavity and the volume of the liquid therein are related to each other, further, the change of the volume of the containing cavity is a preset range, the volume of the containing cavity can be increased or decreased with the increase or decrease of the liquid, of course, the liquid in the containing cavity can be increased or decreased with the increase or decrease of the volume of the containing cavity, and vice versa.

Specifically, when the first receiving chamber delivers the liquid to the vapor system 120, the volume of the receiving chamber decreases as the liquid in the receiving chamber decreases, and then the volume of the receiving chamber increases again, so that the first container 130 can be filled with the liquid from the liquid source.

The fluid source may be a second container 182, a source of tap water, or other fluid source.

Specifically, the first container 130 is a water tank, and the second container 182 is a water tank.
