The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a vapor nozzle assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, in the steam nozzle assembly provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the steam nozzle assembly is used for being connected with a steamer body. The steam nozzle assembly comprises a steam nozzle body 300 and an elastic sealing assembly 200, wherein the steam nozzle body 300 is provided with a steam discharging cavity 310, the steam nozzle body 300 is provided with a steam inlet 320 and a steam outlet 330, and the steam inlet 320 and the steam outlet 330 are communicated with the steam discharging cavity 310.

When the pressure of the steam introduced into the steam inlet 320 is smaller than a preset value, the elastic sealing assembly 200 seals the steam inlet 320, and when the pressure of the steam introduced into the steam inlet 320 is greater than or equal to the preset value, the elastic sealing assembly 200 opens the steam inlet 320 under the pushing force exerted by the steam, so that the steam is ejected out of the steam nozzle body 100 through the steam inlet 320, the steam exhaust cavity 310 and the steam outlet 330 in sequence.

It will be appreciated that the steam nozzle assembly provided by the present embodiment may be used in a stand-type steamer, as well as a hand-held steamer. The present embodiment is illustrated in the drawings in which the steam head assembly is applied to a hand-held garment steamer, i.e., fig. 1 is an enlarged view of a portion of fig. 10 at B.

Specifically, the number of the steam inlets 320 and the number of the steam outlets 330 may be one, or two or more than two, that is, a plurality of steam inlets 320 and a plurality of steam outlets 330 may be provided, and the plurality of steam inlets 320 and the plurality of steam outlets 330 may be uniformly spaced. Therefore, the steam can smoothly enter and exit the steam discharging cavity 310, and the steam can be uniformly sprayed on the clothes.

In a specific implementation, the elastic sealing member 200 may be located in the exhaust cavity 310, and the elastic sealing member 200 may also be located outside the exhaust cavity 310, as long as the elastic sealing member 200 can seal the steam inlet 320, which is not limited herein.

In order to prevent the steam nozzle assembly from directly spraying hot water, in the present embodiment, the elastic sealing member 200 is provided, and the steam inlet 320 is sealed by the elastic sealing member 200. When the water in the steamer body is not completely vaporized into the steam, the pressure of the steam flowing to the steam inlet 320 is lower, that is, the pressure of the steam introduced into the steam inlet 320 is smaller than a preset value, the pressure of the steam is not enough to push the elastic sealing component 200 to move, and the elastic sealing component 200 keeps the state of sealing the steam inlet 320. With the continuous vaporization of the water in the steamer body, when the pressure of the steam introduced into the steam inlet 320 is greater than or equal to a preset value, that is, the pressure of the steam rises to push away the elastic sealing component 200, the elastic sealing component 200 opens the steam inlet 320 under the pushing force exerted by the steam, so that the steam is ejected out of the steam nozzle body 100 through the steam inlet 320, the steam discharge cavity 310 and the steam outlet 330 in sequence, thereby ironing the clothes.

In the steam nozzle assembly of the present embodiment, the elastic sealing member 200 seals the steam inlet 320, so that the hot water and the steam cannot be sprayed out of the steam nozzle assembly. When the water in the steamer body is completely vaporized, the elastic sealing component 200 opens the steam inlet 320 under the pushing force exerted by the steam, so that the steam is sprayed out of the steam nozzle body 100 through the steam inlet 320, the steam discharge cavity 310 and the steam outlet 330 in sequence, thereby ironing the clothes. Therefore, the safety of the steam spray head assembly is improved, and the experience of a user is improved. Meanwhile, when the water vapor with certain pressure is sprayed out of the garment steamer, the spraying speed of the water vapor is increased, and the temperature of the water vapor is higher, so that the penetrating power is stronger when clothes are ironed, and the ironing effect is better.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in the steam nozzle assembly of the present embodiment, the elastic sealing member 200 includes a sealing member 210 and at least one elastic member 220, the elastic member 220 is connected to the sealing member 210, the sealing member 210 opens the steam inlet 320 by the thrust of the water vapor, and the sealing member 210 seals the steam inlet 320 by the elastic force of the elastic member 220.

I.e. the resilient member 220 is located between the closure member 210 and the steam outlet 330. Thereby facilitating installation of the elastomeric closure assembly 200.

In a specific implementation, the closing member 210 may have a plate-like structure, and the steam inlet 320 is blocked by the closing member 210. The steam pushes the sealing member 210, the elastic member 220 is in a compressed state, and the sealing member 210 moves towards the steam outlet 330, so that the steam outlet 330 is kept open, and the steam is sprayed out of the steam nozzle body 100 through the steam inlet 320, the steam discharging cavity 310 and the steam outlet 330 in sequence. When the pressure of the water vapor is reduced, the elastic element 220 gradually enters the stretching state, and the elastic element 200 drives the sealing element 210 to move towards the steam inlet 320, so that the sealing element 210 blocks the steam inlet 320. Through the cooperation of water vapor and the elastic element 220, the closing element 210 blocks or opens the steam inlet 320, the structure is simple, and the cost can be saved.

The elastic member 220 may be a spring, or a sleeve, a cylinder, etc. with elasticity. The number of the elastic members 220 may be two or more, so that the closing member 210 can move smoothly, and the closing member 210 is prevented from being shifted during the movement, which makes it difficult to block the steam inlet 320.

FIG. 2 is a partial schematic view of the closure of FIG. 1; fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the closure of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in the steam nozzle assembly of the present embodiment, the sealing member 210 includes a sealing member body 211, the elastic member 220 is fixed on the sealing member body 211, the sealing member body 211 has at least one first steam outlet hole 212 and at least one plug 213, and the plugs 213 are disposed corresponding to the steam inlets 320 one to seal the steam inlets 320.

Wherein, the closing member body 211 may have a flat plate shape, and the elastic member 220 is connected to the closing member body 211. Two or more first steam outlet holes 212 are formed in the sealing member body 211, so that the steam can be smoothly sprayed out of the sealing member 210 through the first steam outlet holes 212. A plug 213 is provided in the closure body 211, and the steam inlet 320 is closed by the plug 213.

In some embodiments, the plug 213 includes a base 2131 and a plug head 2132 disposed on the base 2131, the base 2131 being secured to the closure body 211, the plug head 2132 being for closing the steam inlet 320. Wherein the base 2131 has an edge profile that is greater than the edge profile of the plug head 2132. For example, base 2131 and plug 2132 are both cylindrical, base 2131 and plug 2132 are coaxially disposed, and the outer diameter of base 2131 is greater than the outer diameter of plug 2132. The base 2131 is provided to increase the strength of the plug 213.

Wherein the plug 213 may be arranged coaxially with the first steam outlet hole 212, the plug 213 being covered at the position of the closure 210 where the first steam outlet hole 212 is arranged, to increase the strength of the closure 210.

Specifically, when the resilient closure assembly 200 is positioned within the exhaust cavity 310, the outer sidewall of the closure body 211 may abut the inner sidewall of the exhaust cavity 310 and may move along the inner sidewall of the exhaust cavity 310. When the elastic sealing assembly 200 opens the steam inlet 320 under the pushing force exerted by the steam, i.e. the plug 2132 moves out of the steam inlet 320, the sealing body 211 is driven to move along the inner side wall of the steam exhaust cavity 310, the steam is sprayed into the steam exhaust cavity 310 through the steam inlet 320, the communication hole 2134 and the first steam outlet 212 in sequence, and then is sprayed out of the steam nozzle assembly through the steam outlet 330. Thus, the path of the steam flow is extended, and if hot water is contained in the steam during the steam flow, the hot water can drop into the space formed by the steam discharge cavity 310 and the sealing member body 211, so that the hot water is prevented from directly spraying out of the steam nozzle assembly. As the steam is continuously introduced into the exhaust chamber 310, the temperature in the exhaust chamber 310 rises, so that the hot water in the exhaust chamber 310 can be gradually vaporized.

Optionally, in the steam nozzle assembly provided in this embodiment, the enclosure body 211 has at least one supporting column 214, the elastic members 220 are disposed corresponding to the supporting columns 214 one by one, and the elastic members 220 are sleeved on the supporting columns 214.
