Referring to fig. 1 to 12, the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 100, a steamer body 200, a coupling connector 300 and a locking structure 400, wherein the base 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110, and the steamer body 200 is detachably connected with the coupling connector 300.

The steamer body 200 can rotate the coupling connector 300 relative to the base 100 to connect the locking structure 400 with the coupling connector 300 at different positions, thereby changing the locking state between the coupling connector 300 and at least one of the base 100 and the steamer body 200, respectively.

The base 100 has a mounting groove 110 thereon, and the coupling connector 300 can be inserted into the mounting groove 110 and rotate relative to the mounting groove 110.

Wherein, the connection state between the coupling connector 300 and the mounting groove 110 and the connection state between the garment steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 can be changed accordingly by the relative positions of the locking structure 400 and the coupling connector 300. It should be noted that a rechargeable power source may be provided in the steamer body 200, and the coupling connector 300 has a power cord connectable to an electrical outlet. Thus, the steamer body 200 can be powered by either a rechargeable power source or by being connected to the coupling connector 300 and wired by coupling the connector 300 to a power cord.

In an embodiment, the locking structure 400 includes an elastic connection unit 410 and a positioning part 420 on the coupling connector 300, the elastic connection unit 410 being located in the mounting groove 110;

the coupling connector 300 may be inserted into the mounting groove 110 and may rotate with respect to the mounting groove 110 to connect the elastic connection unit 410 with the coupling connector 300 at different positions, thereby changing a locking state between the coupling connector 300 and at least one of the base 100 and the steamer body 200, respectively.

Thus, by rotating the coupling connector 300, the positioning part 420 can be rotated. When the coupling connector 300 rotates to different positions around its own axis, the positions of the elastic connection unit 410 and the positioning part 420 and the positions of the elastic connection unit 410 and the coupling connector 300 are changed accordingly, so that the original connection relationship among the base 100, the garment steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 can be changed accordingly.

Specifically, the garment steamer provided by the embodiment can comprise three different using states, namely a wired state, a wireless state and a fixed state. When the steamer is in a fixed state (as shown in fig. 11 and 12), the steamer body 200 is locked in the mounting groove 110 of the base 100, and the steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 are also in a relatively fixed and locked state, so that the whole storage and placement of the steamer are facilitated, and the steamer body 200 can be reliably fixed and supported. When the steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 are unlocked and the coupling connector 300 and the base 100 are still in a relatively fixed locking state, the steamer is in a wireless state (as shown in fig. 7 to 10), the steamer body 200 can be taken out independently, and a wireless working mode is realized by using a power supply built in the steamer body 200, so that the working convenience is improved. While the coupling connector 300 remains locked to the steamer body 200 and the base 100 is unlocked from the coupling connector 300, the coupling connector 300 can be removed with the steamer body 200 and power the steamer body 200, thereby putting the steamer in a wired mode of operation (as shown in fig. 4-6).

Therefore, the garment steamer provided by the embodiment can correspondingly select different states and modes according to actual use scenes, and has good convenience and use flexibility.

In a specific implementation, the steamer body 200 may include an ironing part 220 and a handle 210, the ironing part 220 is connected to one end of the handle 210, and the other end of the handle 210 abuts against the top of the coupling connector 300. In this way, the coupling connector 300 can be secured to the end of the steamer body 200 for the user to hold the handle 210. The mounting slot 110 of the base 100 is sized and shaped to match the shape of the handle 210 and the coupler 300 of the steamer body 200 to accommodate at least or all of the structure of the coupler 300 and the handle 210. One end of the mounting groove 110 may have a gap 120, thereby facilitating the coupling connector 300 to enter and exit the mounting groove 110.

In order to normally work under the wireless state, a charging power supply, such as a rechargeable battery and the like, is arranged in the steamer main body 200, so that when the steamer works in the wireless state, the charging power supply in the steamer main body 200 can supply power to the water pump so as to pump water in the water pump to the heating assembly, and therefore a certain endurance time is provided for the steamer. And the coupling connector 300 may be connected to an external power socket through a power line, so that the garment steamer is connected to the external power socket through the coupling connector 300 when operating in a wired state, thereby supplying power to the heating assembly and the water pump by means of an external power source. Meanwhile, the charging power source in the steamer body 200 can also be charged through the coupling connector 300.

As an alternative embodiment, the garment steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 are provided with electrical connectors, and when the end of the garment steamer body 200 is plugged into the coupling connector 300, the electrical connectors of the garment steamer body 200 and the coupling connector 300 can be coupled with each other, so that the garment steamer can work in a wired state.

In the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic connection unit 410 includes at least two elastic connection components, when the coupling connector 300 rotates to the preset position around its own axis, one elastic connection component is connected with the positioning portion 420, and the other elastic connection component is connected with the coupling connector 300, and separates the coupling connector 300 and the garment steamer body 200 at the preset position; alternatively, the elastic connection assembly disconnects the coupling connector 300 from the base 100 when the coupling connector 300 is rotated reversely from the preset position.

Specifically, when the coupling connector 300 connected to the steamer body 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 110, one elastic connecting member contacts the positioning part 420, and the other elastic connecting member contacts the coupling connector 300. As the coupling connector 300 rotates around its axis (e.g., clockwise) to a predetermined position, an elastic connecting member is connected to the positioning portion 420 to fix the coupling connector 300 in the mounting groove 110 of the base 100. Another elastic connection assembly is connected with another position of the coupling connector 300 and separates the coupling connector 300 and the steamer body 200 at a preset position, so that the steamer body 200 can be taken out of the mounting groove 110 independently and works in a wireless state.

When the coupling connector 300 rotates in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise) around its axis to move the coupling connector 300 away from the predetermined position, an elastic connecting component is disconnected from the positioning portion 420 of the coupling connector 300, and the coupling connector 300 is disconnected from the elastic connecting component, so that the coupling connector 300 can be taken out together with the steamer body 200 and supplies power to the steamer body 200, thereby putting the steamer in a wired operation mode.

In this embodiment, different elastic connection components are respectively abutted with different parts of the coupling connector 300, so that the garment steamer is respectively in three working modes, namely fixed, wired and wireless. In the following, three operation modes of the garment steamer will be described in connection with the structure of the resilient connecting assembly.

In an alternative implementation, the at least two resilient connection assemblies comprise a first resilient connection assembly 411, the first resilient connection assembly 411 comprising a first abutment 4111. The positioning part 420 is located on an outer sidewall of the coupling connector 300, and the first abutting part 4111 can clamp the coupling connector 300 in the mounting groove 110 when the coupling connector 300 rotates to a preset position.

Specifically, when the coupling connector 300 is inserted into the mounting slot 110, the first abutting part 4111 contacts with the positioning part 420 of the outer sidewall of the coupling connector 300, and along with the rotation of the coupling connector 300 around its axis, the force exerted by the first abutting part 4111 on the positioning part 420 is larger and larger, until at a preset position, the coupling connector 300 is clamped in the mounting slot 110, so that the garment steamer is in a fixed state.

In a specific implementation, the first elastic connecting assembly 411 further includes a first elastic member 4112, a side wall of the mounting groove 110 has a first receiving groove 112 communicated with the mounting groove 110, the first receiving groove 112 is opposite to the positioning portion 420, the first elastic member 4112 is located in the first receiving groove 112, the first elastic member 4112 is connected to the first abutting member 4111, a portion of the first abutting member 4111 can extend into the mounting groove 110 through the first receiving groove 112, and the first abutting member 4111 abuts against different positions of the positioning portion 420 when the coupling connector 300 rotates and moves toward the first receiving groove 112.

In the process that the first abutting member 4111 moves towards the first receiving groove 112, a pressure is applied to the first resilient member 4112, so that the first resilient member 4112 compresses along the moving direction of the first abutting member 4111 (i.e. the direction-X in fig. 12), and the acting force of the first abutting member 4111 on the positioning portion 420 is increased.

fig. 14 is a side view of a coupling connector in a garment steamer according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 15 is an exploded view of a coupling connector in a garment steamer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 to 15, in the garment steamer provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning portion 420 is an arc-shaped groove extending along the radial direction of the coupling connector 300, the groove depth of the arc-shaped groove is gradually increased from the first end 421 of the arc-shaped groove to the second end 422 of the arc-shaped groove, the first abutting member 4111 has a relative mounting end 4113 and a connecting end 4114, the first elastic member 4112 is sleeved on the mounting end 4113, the connecting end 4114 is inserted into the positioning portion 420, and moves to the first end 421 of the arc-shaped groove through the second end 422 of the arc-shaped groove, so as to clamp the coupling connector 300 in the mounting groove 110, and lock the coupling connector 300 with the base 100.

In this way, in the process that the coupling connector 300 rotates around its axis, the bottom of the arc-shaped groove applies a pushing force to the connecting end 4114, so that the connecting end 4114 moves towards the direction-X in fig. 12, thereby compressing the first elastic member 4112, when the preset position is reached, because the first accommodating groove 112 is fixed (i.e. the position of the first accommodating groove 112 is not changed), the first elastic member 4112 transmits its own pressure to the connecting end 4114, and transmits the pressure to the bottom of the arc-shaped groove through the connecting end 4114, because the mounting groove 110 is fixed (i.e. the position of the mounting groove 110 is not changed), the pressure transmitted to the bottom of the arc-shaped groove clamps the coupling connector 300 in the mounting groove 110, and thus the garment steamer is in a fixed state.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention provides a garment steamer, the second end 422 of the arc-shaped groove has an inclined plane with the smooth transition of the outer sidewall of the coupling connector 300, and the first end 421 of the arc-shaped groove has a smooth transition of the outer sidewall of the coupling connector 300. Therefore, the connecting end 4114 can conveniently enter and exit the arc-shaped groove.
