In some embodiments, the refill coupling structure 212 includes a water inlet disposed in one of the bottom of the handle 120 and the insertion slot 201 of the base 210, and a water inlet disposed in the other of the bottom of the handle 120 and the insertion slot 201, wherein the water inlet and the water inlet are in butt joint when the handle 120 is inserted into the insertion slot 201, so that the refill coupling structure 212 is in butt joint communication with the first water tank 130.

In some embodiments, the base 210 is further provided with a power plug 213 for connecting with an external power source, and the power plug 213 is electrically connected with the lower charging terminal, or a second battery is further provided in the base 210 and supplies power to the lower charging terminal. That is, the hand-held garment steamer 300 of the present application can be connected to an external power source for power supply through the power plug 213, and can also be powered by a second battery arranged in the base 210, so that the whole machine is convenient to carry, and can also be applied to an environment without an external power source. Further, a power switch for controlling the charging process and the water adding process is also disposed on the base 210.

The above is only the optional embodiment of the present invention, and not the scope of the present invention is limited thereby, all the equivalent structure changes made by the contents of the specification and the drawings are utilized under the inventive concept of the present invention, or the direct/indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
