Referring to fig. 1 to 14, the embodiment provides a hand-held garment steamer, which includes a body 10, a coupler 20 and a support base 30, wherein the coupler 20 is used for connecting with a power source through a power line; one of the body 10 and the coupler 20 is provided with a pin 11, and the other of the body 10 and the coupler 20 is provided with a contact piece 21; wherein, a guide part is arranged between the coupler 20 and the supporting seat 30, and the extending direction of the guide part is parallel to the axial line of the contact pin 11; when the body 10 and the supporting base 30 are fixed relatively, the coupler 20 can move toward a side close to the body 10 along the guide portion to electrically connect the pin 11 with the contact 21, or the coupler 20 can move toward a side away from the body 10 along the guide portion to separate the pin 11 from the contact 21.

Specifically, the garment steamer is used for heating water, so that the temperature of the water rises and is gasified into steam, and the high-temperature steam can iron the clothes to be ironed, so that the clothes to be ironed are relatively flat. Wherein, the hand-held garment steamer is small in size and convenient to carry.

The hand-held garment steamer comprises a body 10, wherein the body 10 comprises a body shell, and a heating part, a water tank, a water pump and the like which are arranged in the body shell. The water pump is connected between the heating element and the water tank and used for conveying water in the water tank to the heating element. The water is heated by the heat generating member to form water vapor, and the water vapor is discharged from the heat generating member and is jetted out through the air jetting holes of the body 10. The water tank and the water pump can be both structures well known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiment is not limited.

The battery can be a lead-acid battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery and the like, has larger capacity, can be charged and discharged for many times, and has longer service life.

The heating member is a heat storage member. When the contact pin 11 is electrically connected to the contact piece 21, that is, the body 10 is electrically connected to the coupler 20 and is connected to a power source through a power line, the power source supplies power to the heat generating member, and at this time, the heat generating member is in a heat storage state. Then, when the contact pin 11 and the contact piece 21 are separated from each other, the body 10 is separated from the coupler 20, and the heat generating member can heat water by its own heat to make the water generate steam, and at this time, the heat generating member is in a heat releasing state. Until the heat of the heat generating member is exhausted or the heat of the heat generating member is insufficient to vaporize the water.

To facilitate gripping, the body 10 includes a handle portion 110 and a body portion 120 connected together. Here, various components in the body 10 may be provided in the handle part 110 or the body part 120 as needed. Illustratively, in this embodiment, the water tank, the water pump and the heat generating member are all located on the main body portion 120, and the battery, and components such as an electrical connection wire, an electrical connection joint and a control board connected to the battery are disposed on the handle portion 110.

In this way, coupler 20 may be electrically connected to handle portion 110. The handle portion 110 is provided with a first coupling portion electrically connected with the coupler 20, the coupler 20 includes a coupler seat 210, a coupler housing 220, and a second coupling portion, and the coupler seat 210 and the coupler housing 220 enclose a receiving cavity receiving the second coupling portion.

For avoiding when the user uses handheld garment steamer, the power cord influences user operation, and first coupling portion can set up the tip that deviates from main part 120 at handle portion 110, and like this, the interval between power cord and the main part 120 is great, avoids the power cord winding on main part 120, influences the steam and goes out vapour.

Wherein the first coupling part may be provided with a contact 21 and the second coupling part with a pin 11. Alternatively, the embodiment is described by taking the first coupling portion with the pin 11 and the second coupling portion with the contact piece 21 as an example. Specifically, the second coupling portion is disposed on the coupler seat 210, the second coupling portion is provided with a positive electrode contact, a negative electrode contact and a ground contact at intervals, and the coupler shell 220 is correspondingly provided with pin holes corresponding to the positive electrode contact, the negative electrode contact and the ground contact one by one. When the power line is connected with the power supply, the positive electrode contact piece and the negative electrode contact piece are both communicated with alternating current. The number of the pins 11 is three, and when the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are electrically connected, the three pins 11 respectively extend into the coupler housing 220 through the pin holes and are connected to the positive electrode contact, the negative electrode contact and the ground contact, so that the body 10 and the coupler 20 are electrically connected.

The supporting seat 30 can be supported on the supporting table top such as the ground, the table top and the like, the contact area of the supporting seat 30 and the supporting table top is large, and the supporting is stable.

The support base 30 may be a solid block structure. In some alternative embodiments, to reduce the weight of the supporting base 30, the supporting base 30 may be a hollow container-shaped structure, the supporting base 30 includes a seat body 310 and a cover 320, the seat body 310 may be used for supporting on the supporting table, and the cover 320 closes the opening of the seat body 310.

When the battery in the body 10 needs to be charged, the body 10 and the supporting base 30 can be fixed relatively, so that the body 10 and the supporting base 30 do not shake or shake relatively, and at this time, the body 10 and the coupler 20 are not electrically connected. The coupler 20 is connected with the supporting seat 30 in a sliding manner, the sliding direction of the coupler 20 is along the length direction of the pin 11 on the body 10, namely the axial direction of the pin 11, no relative movement in other directions exists between the coupler 20 and the body 10, namely, only the relative movement along the length direction of the pin 11 can occur between the coupler 20 and the body 10, no relative shaking or shaking occurs between the coupler 20 and the body 10, electric sparks are prevented from being generated between the pin 11 and the contact piece 21, and the safety is high.

Wherein the guide portion may be provided on any one of the support base 30 and the coupler 20. Illustratively, the coupler 20 is protruded with a guiding protrusion, and the supporting base 30 is correspondingly provided with a guiding sliding groove matched with the guiding protrusion. In some alternative embodiments, the guide is a slide slot 31 disposed on the support base 30, and the coupler 20 is located within the slide slot 31.

Thus, the outer wall surface of the coupler 20 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the chute 31, and the coupler 20 itself corresponds to the guide projection, so that the structure of the coupler 20 is simple. And the contact area between the outer wall surface of the coupler 20 and the inner wall surface of the chute 31 is large, the outer wall surface of the coupler 20 and the inner wall surface of the chute 31 form a limit, the coupler 20 slides stably, and the coupler 20 is prevented from shaking or shaking relatively.

The slide groove 31 may be formed on an outer wall surface of either side of the support base 30. Alternatively, the chute 31 may be recessed toward the interior of the support base 30 to simplify the appearance of the hand-held steamer and reduce the size of the hand-held steamer.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some alternative embodiments, a first position-limiting portion and a second position-limiting portion are disposed between the sliding slot 31 and the coupler 20, and the coupler 20 can move back and forth between the first position-limiting portion and the second position-limiting portion along the axial direction of the pin 11.

Thus, when the coupler 20 moves to the first position-limiting portion, the coupler 20 may be electrically connected to the body 10, and when the coupler 20 moves to the second position-limiting portion, the coupler 20 may be separated from the body 10. The first and second stop portions may act as travel prompts to prompt the user that the coupler 20 is moved into position.

Meanwhile, due to the limitation of the first limiting portion, even if the user does not first separate the coupler 20 from the body 10, so that the coupler 20 and the body 10 are separated from each other and then take the body 10, the coupler 20 will not be separated from the chute 31 under the driving of the body 10.

The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion may be both protruding structures formed on the inner wall surface of the chute 31, and the limitation of the stroke of the coupler 20 is realized by the abutting of the outer wall surface of the coupler 20 and the protruding structures.

In some alternative embodiments, one of the sliding groove 31 and the coupler 20 is provided with a limiting groove 32, the limiting groove 32 extends along the axial direction of the pin 11, the other of the sliding groove 31 and the coupler 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 22, and the limiting protrusion 22 can extend into the limiting groove 32 and slide in the limiting groove 32; the inner wall surfaces of the stopper groove 32 at both ends in the axial direction of the pin 11 constitute a first stopper portion and a second stopper portion, respectively.

Illustratively, the limiting protrusion 22 may be formed on the outer wall surface of the housing of the coupler 20, the limiting groove 32 is formed on the inner wall surface of the sliding groove 31, the coupler 20 is located in the sliding groove 31, and the limiting protrusion 22 extends into the limiting groove 32, so that the contact between the limiting protrusion 22 and the limiting groove 32 can limit the coupler 20, and prevent the coupler 20 and the supporting seat from shaking or shaking. And the inner wall surfaces of the two ends of the limiting groove 32 along the axial direction of the pin 11 form a first limiting part and a second limiting part, namely when the limiting bulge 22 is abutted against the inner wall surfaces of the two ends of the limiting groove 32, the coupler 20 is prompted to slide in place.

In some alternative embodiments, the body 10 is inserted into the sliding slot 31, and the end of the body 10 where the pin 11 is disposed can extend into the sliding slot 31.

That is to say, part of handle portion 110 can stretch into runner 31, and part of the outer wall surface of handle portion 110 contacts with the inner wall surface of runner 31, constitutes spacing through runner 31 to body 10, avoids coupler 20 to move towards the one side that is close to or keeps away from body 10 in-process, and body 10 shakes or rocks for supporting seat 30, leads to contact pin 11 to rock for coupler 20.

Meanwhile, when the user needs to use the body 10, the coupler may be moved toward a side away from the body to separate the coupler from the body, and then the body may be taken. Certainly, because peg graft between body and the spout, form spacing between body outer wall face and the spout internal wall face, the user also can directly take the body, and at this moment, the coupler still is located the one side that is close to the body.

In some alternative embodiments, the outer wall surface of the body 10 is provided with a protruding clamping portion 12, and when the clamping portion 12 is clamped with the sliding groove 31, the body 10 and the coupler 20 are spaced apart from each other.

Wherein, the size of the clamping part 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the chute 31. Like this, when joint portion 12 and supporting seat 30 joint, can indicate user's body 10 to peg graft and target in place, joint portion 12 can support the terminal surface department at spout 31 one end.

And when the end face butt joint of joint portion 12 and spout 31 one end, interval setting between body 10 and the coupler 20, the interval setting between body 10 upper pin 11 and the coupler casing 220 promptly, in pin 11 did not stretch into coupler casing 220 yet, avoided pin 11 disect insertion coupler casing 220 inside, lead to mutually interfering between coupler 20 and the body 10.

In some alternative embodiments, a locking structure is further disposed between the body 10 and the support seat 30, so that the body 10 and the support seat 30 are relatively fixed. Thus, the body 10 is prevented from shaking or swaying relative to the support base 30 during the movement of the coupler 20 toward the side close to or away from the body 10

The locking structure may be a detachable connector such as a locking pin connecting the body 10 and the support base 30. In some alternative embodiments, a first magnetic member (not shown) is disposed on the supporting base 30, and a second magnetic member (not shown) is disposed on the body 10; when the body 10 is inserted into the supporting seat 30, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member attract each other.

That is to say, when the body 10 is placed on the supporting seat 30, the body 10 and the supporting seat 30 can be fixed by the mutual attraction of the magnetic force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, and when the user needs to take the body 10, the user only needs to overcome the magnetic force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, which is convenient to operate.

Like this, when the user does not use handheld garment steamer, body 10 can peg graft at spout 31, and coupler 20 separates with body 10, and body 10 also can fix on body 10 through the adsorption affinity of first magnetic part and second magnetic part, supports comparatively firmly.

The first and second magnetic members may each be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet as is well known to those skilled in the art. Optionally, in this embodiment, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are permanent magnets, and the permanent magnets are simple in structure, do not consume electric energy additionally, are low in cost and easy to obtain, and are convenient to assemble in the body 10 and the support seat 30 which are small in size.

In some alternative embodiments, the garment steamer further includes an actuator 40 coupled to the support base 30, and the pins 11 and contacts 21 are configured to be switched between an electrically connected state and a disconnected state when the coupler 20 is coupled to different portions of the actuator 40. Thus, when different parts of the driving member 40 are connected to the coupler 20 by moving the driving member 40, the coupler 20 and the body 10 can be in different states, and the operation is convenient.

Illustratively, two magnetic members may be attached to the driving member 40, and the polarities of the two magnetic members are opposite to each other toward the end of the coupler 20, and the coupler 20 is also provided with one magnetic member. Thus, when the two magnetic members on the driving member 40 are respectively opposite to the coupler 20, the coupler 20 and the driving member 40 are subjected to repulsive magnetic force or attractive magnetic force. When the coupler 20 and the driving member 40 are subjected to repulsive magnetic force, the coupler 20 can move toward the main body 10 by the magnetic force and maintain the electrical connection with the main body 10. When an attractive magnetic force is applied between the coupler 20 and the driving member 40, the coupler 20 can be separated from the body 10 by the magnetic force.

In some alternative embodiments, the driving member 40 is provided with an ejecting inclined surface 41, the coupler 20 is in contact with the ejecting inclined surface 41, and the driving member 40 can move relative to the supporting seat 30 to drive the coupler 20 to move along the ejecting inclined surface 41.

Thus, when the driving member 40 moves relative to the supporting seat 30, the coupler 20 moves along the pushing slope 41. Wherein, the pushing inclined surface 41 may have a first portion and a second portion; when the coupler 20 is in contact with the first portion, the coupler 20 is separated from the body 10; when the coupler 20 contacts with the second part, the coupler 20 is electrically connected with the body 10, and the pins 11 are pressed against the contact pieces 21; when the coupler 20 is moved between the first position and the second position, the coupler 20 and the body 10 are in the process of being inserted and removed. It can be understood that the contact 21 is an elastic member with one end floating, when the coupler 20 is electrically connected to the body 10, the pin 11 presses against the contact 21, and the deformation of the contact 21 is the largest. When the coupler 20 and the body 10 are inserted and removed, the contact pieces 21 are also deformed, but the amount of deformation of the contact pieces 21 is small.

When the driving member 40 drives the coupler 20 to move from the first position to the second position, the coupler 20 can move toward one side of the body 10 under the pushing of the pushing inclined surface 41 until the coupler 20 contacts with the second position, and the coupler 20 is electrically connected with the body 10.

When a user desires to use the body 10, the coupler 20 needs to be first moved from the second location to the first location. Optionally, a pressing spring may be disposed between the coupler 20 and the body 10, such that when the driving member 40 moves relative to the body 10, the coupler 20 may move toward a side away from the body 10 under the elastic force of the pressing spring until the coupler 20 contacts the first portion. Of course, when the coupler 20 is electrically connected to the body 10, the pressing spring is compressed between the coupler 20 and the body 10.

In some alternative embodiments, the guide portion extends in a vertical direction, and the coupler 20 may move relative to the body 10 and be separated from the body 10 by its own weight.

Thus, when the clothes needs to be ironed by using the main body 10, the user can move the driving member 40 and move the first portion to a position opposite to the coupler 20, and at this time, the coupler 20 moves downwards along the pushing inclined surface 41 under the action of the self gravity until the coupler 20 contacts with the first portion, so that the structure is simple.

At this time, the slide groove 31 is located on the top wall surface of the support base 30, that is, the slide groove 31 is provided on the cover 320 and extends toward the inside of the support base 30 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the sealing cover 320 may be provided with a protruding cylindrical structural member, the cylindrical structural member is located in a cavity enclosed by the sealing cover 320 and the seat body 310, and an inner cavity of the cylindrical structural member forms the sliding groove 31. In this way, the user can support the body 10 at the sliding groove 31 of the cover 320 for the user to take. At this time, the body 10 is inserted into the sliding groove 31 under the action of its own weight, and is clamped to the sealing cover 320 by the clamping portion 12, so that the support is stable.

In some alternative embodiments, a weight (not shown) is further disposed on the coupler 20. The balancing weight can be a metal piece, and the weight is large. The weight may be disposed inside the coupler housing 220 without affecting the appearance of the coupler 20, and may increase the weight of the coupler 20 to facilitate the disengagement of the coupler 20 from the body 10.

And the line connecting the gravity center of the counter weight block and the gravity center of the coupler 20 can be parallel to the length direction of the contact pin 11, so that the counter weight block cannot cause the coupler 20 to be inclined, and the coupler 20 is abutted against a certain side wall of the sliding groove 31 or is inclined when sliding in the sliding groove 31.

The second portion of the pushing inclined surface 41 of the driving member 40 needs to be able to maintain the state of the pushing coupler 20, so that the coupler 20 can continuously charge the battery through the power supply until the battery is sufficiently charged.

When the second portion of the pushing inclined section contacts the coupler 20, the driving member 40 may be fixedly connected to the supporting base 30 by a detachable fastener such as a hook or a plug pin.

In some alternative embodiments, the driving member 40 further has a first surface (not shown) connected to the pushing inclined surface 41, and the pin 11 and the contact 21 are electrically connected when the first surface is engaged with the outer wall surface of the coupler 20.

Wherein the first surface corresponds to the second portion. When the first surface contacts with the coupler housing 220, the coupler 20 is electrically connected with the body 10, and at this time, the driving member 40 is in surface contact with the coupler 20, the contact area between the driving member 40 and the coupler 20 is large, the friction force between the driving member 40 and the coupler 20 is large, the coupler 20 can maintain the electrical connection state with the body 10 and continuously charge the battery, and the driving member 40 is prevented from moving by itself, so that the coupler 20 is separated from the second portion.

It will be appreciated that the area of the first face may be greater than the area of the side wall of the coupler housing 220 on the side in contact with the first face. Specifically, when the guiding portion extends in the vertical direction, the pushing inclined surface 41 is disposed at an end of the coupler 20 away from the housing, and the bottom wall of the coupler housing 220 contacts with the first surface, that is, the area of the first surface may be larger than that of the bottom wall, so that even if the driving member 40 moves relatively under the influence of an external force, the first surface may still contact with the outer wall surface of the coupler housing 220, and push the coupler 20 against the body 10.

The actuator 40 can translate relative to the support 30 in the vertical direction of the pin 11. Considering that the moving distance of the coupler 20 is large, for example, the moving distance of the coupler 20 is at least larger than the length of the pin 11, in some alternative embodiments, the driving member 40 is rotatably connected to the supporting seat 30, and the rotating shaft of the driving member 40 is arranged parallel to the axis of the pin 11. Thus, the pushing inclined surface 41 is spirally arranged along the rotating shaft of the driving member 40, and the height of the pushing inclined surface 41 along the length direction of the pin 11 can be set as required. And the user can drive the coupler 20 to slide by screwing the driving member 40, and the operation is convenient.

Of course, the pushing slope 41 extends along the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft of the driving member 40 by an angle smaller than 360 ° to avoid interference collision between the driving member 40 and the coupler 20.

In some alternative embodiments, a plurality of rolling bodies 42 are further disposed between the driving member 40 and the supporting seat 30, and the rolling bodies 42 are respectively connected to the driving member 40 and the supporting seat 30 in a rolling manner. The rolling body 42 can reduce the friction between the driving member 40 and the supporting seat 30, and is easy for the user to operate.

Specifically, when the driving member 40 is rotatably connected to the supporting seat 30, the driving member 40 may include a driving portion 410, a rotating portion 420 and an operating portion 430, the operating portion 430 and the driving portion 410 are respectively connected to two ends of the rotating portion 420, and the rotating portion 420 is parallel to the length direction of the contact pin 11. The driving portion 410 is located in a cavity enclosed by the base 310 and the cover 320, the pushing inclined surface 41 is disposed on a side of the driving portion 410 facing the coupler 20, an end of the rotating portion 420 facing away from the driving portion 410 extends upward and extends out of the cover 320, and the rotating portion 420 is not located outside the cover 320.

At this time, the rolling elements 42 are disposed between the driving part 410 and the inner bottom wall surface of the base body 310. The plurality of rolling bodies 42 can both support the driving part 410 on the seat body 310 and reduce friction between the driving part 410 and the seat body 310.

In some alternative embodiments, the supporting seat 30 is provided with a rolling groove 33, the plurality of rolling bodies 42 are disposed at intervals in the rolling groove 33, and a portion of the driving member 40 extends into the rolling groove 33 and is pressed against the plurality of rolling bodies 42.

The rolling groove 33 is disposed on the base body 310, the rolling body 42 is disposed in the rolling groove 33, and a part of the driving portion 410 extends into the rolling groove 33 and presses against the rolling body 42. And part of the driving part 410 contacts with the inner wall surface of the rolling groove 33, so that the contact area and the friction force between the driving element 40 and the supporting seat 30 are increased, and the driving element 40 is prevented from rotating under the influence of external force, so that the coupler 20 automatically switches between different states.
