Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of household appliances, and specifically, to a garment steamer.
  • a garment steamer has been a household appliance commonly used by people.
  • the working principle of the garment steamer is mainly generating steam in a host and discharging the steam from a nozzle through a gas pipeline, to iron clothes by using the steam.
  • Some clothes inevitably have bacteria as long exposed in external environments. Users generally conduct disinfection by using a disinfectant fluid.
  • the disinfectant fluid has an odor and damages clothes to some extent.
  • a garment steamer involved with a negative ion technology has been provided, and the garment steamer disinfects clothes by using a negative ion generator.
  • negative ions achieve good effects in aspects such as odor cleaning and dust removal, but do not have an obvious sterilization effect.
  • Document JP 2005 22 47 57 A discloses a plasma cleaning apparatus mounted on the iron body, using chemicals and detergents.
  • the ironing type cleaning apparatus is provided with a base and an introduction port for introducing steam blowned out from the bottom surface of the base, a pair of metal electrodes for generating plasma and discharge port for discharging generated radical and the like exposed to the plasma.
  • the steam taken in through the introduction port is guided between a pair of parallel plate type metal electrodes.
  • a pair of metal electrodes are connected to a plasma generating power source, and a predetermined electric field is applied to generate a plasma discharge between the pair of metal electrodes. Water vapor taken from the introduction port is exposed to plasma and hydroxyl radicals are discharged toward the object to be cleaned from the discharge port.
  • the present invention provides a garment steamer, to resolve at least a problem that a garment steamer in the prior art cannot implement both odor removal and sterilization.
  • one aspect of the present invention provides a garment steamer, having a host and a nozzle connected with the host by using a gas pipeline, where the garment steamer is provided thereon with a plasma generator, where plasmas generated by the plasma generator are released through a plasma outlet disposed on the nozzle wherein the plasma generator is disposed in a part where the nozzle is bonded to the gas pipeline.
  • the plasma generator mainly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a housing, and the electrode includes such a structure as a metal wire shape, a zigzag shape, or a sharp needle shape.
  • the plasma generator When ionizing air, the plasma generator generates lots of positive ions and negative ions, the negative ions are more than the positive ions, and a certain amount of ozone is also generated.
  • the negative ions can achieve effects of dust removal and odor removal and promote human health.
  • the generated ozone can kill bacteria quickly.
  • the plasma generator is disposed in the nozzle, and the nozzle is internally provided with a conveying device that sends the plasmas generated by the plasma generator to the plasma outlet.
  • the plasma generator is a separate device, may be controlled separately, and can still be used when a steaming function of the garment steamer is not used, so that a function of disinfection and sterilization at a low temperature is achieved for some clothes that cannot be ironed at a high temperature.
  • the conveying device includes a channel and a fan, where one end of the channel is aligned with the plasma outlet.
  • the separate conveying device such as the fan and the channel, is disposed to send the plasmas out of the plasma outlet.
  • the nozzle is provided thereon with a steam outlet, where the steam outlet and the plasma outlet are the same structure.
  • a separate plasma outlet may be disposed, or the steam outlet and the plasma outlet may be disposed as the same structure, so that the structure is simpler.
  • the plasma generator is disposed on the host, where the plasmas generated by the plasma generator are sent onto the nozzle through the gas pipeline.
  • the plasma generator may be disposed in a steam generator or an atomization device in the host, and the generated plasmas are conveyed into the nozzle through the gas pipeline.
  • the garment steamer is provided thereon with a control device that controls the plasma generator to work.
  • control device is provided with a plasma generator switch and a steam switch.
  • the plasma generator may be used together with the steaming function of the garment steamer, or may be used separately.
  • control device is disposed on the nozzle, where the control device is connected with the host by using an electric wire disposed on the gas pipeline.
  • the control device is disposed on the nozzle, and connected with the host by using an electric wire, which facilitates an instant operation of a user.
  • the plasma generator switch and the steam switch are disposed on a gripping portion of the nozzle.
  • Switch buttons are disposed on the gripping portion of the nozzle, which is more humanized and facilitates a user operation.
  • the garment steamer has functions of sterilization and odor removal, and the functions can be used separately from a steaming function of the garment steamer.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the garment steamer in the first embodiment which is not part of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a nozzle in the first embodiment.
  • the garment steamer 1 has a host 2 and a nozzle 4 connected with the host 2 by using a gas pipeline 3, where the garment steamer 1 is provided thereon with a plasma generator 5.
  • the plasma generator 5 When ionizing air, the plasma generator 5 generates lots of positive ions and negative ions, the negative ions are more than the positive ions, and a certain amount of ozone is also generated.
  • the negative ions can achieve effects of dust removal and odor removal and promote human health.
  • the generated ozone can kill bacteria quickly.
  • the plasma generator 5 is disposed on the host 2, where plasmas generated by the plasma generator 5 are sent onto the nozzle 4 through the gas pipeline 3.
  • the plasma generator 5 may be disposed in a steam generator or an atomization device on the host 2, and the generated plasmas are conveyed into the gas pipeline 3 and released through a plasma outlet 41 disposed on the nozzle 4, where a steam outlet 42 and the plasma outlet 41 are disposed separately, to work separately.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 are a schematic diagram of the nozzle in the first embodiment.
  • the nozzle 4 is provided thereon with a steam outlet 42, where the steam outlet 42 and the plasma outlet 41 are the same structure, so that the structure is simpler and more convenient.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the nozzle in the second embodiment.
  • a plasma generator 5 is disposed in the nozzle 4 of the garment steamer 1, and the nozzle 4 is internally provided with a conveying device 7 that sends plasmas generated by the plasma generator 5 to a plasma outlet 41.
  • the plasma generator 5 is a separate device, may be controlled separately, and can still be used when a steaming function of the garment steamer is not used, so that a function of disinfection and sterilization at a low temperature is achieved for some clothes that cannot be ironed.
  • the plasma generator 5 is disposed in a part 6 where the nozzle 4 is bonded to the gas pipeline 3. Such disposition in the part can avoid loss of plasmas during conveying, and improve efficiency.
  • the conveying device 7 includes a channel 8 and a fan 9, where one end 8a of the channel 8 is aligned with the plasma outlet 41.
  • the separate conveying device 7, such as the fan 9 and the channel 8, is disposed to send the plasmas out of the plasma outlet 41.
  • the garment steamer 1 is provided thereon with a control device 10 that controls the plasma generator 5 to work, where the control device 10 is provided with a plasma generator switch 11 and a steam switch 12.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the control device in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5 , the control device 10 is disposed on the nozzle 4, where the control device 10 is connected with the host 2 by using an electric wire (not shown in the figure) disposed on the gas pipeline 3, and the plasma generator switch 11 and the steam switch 12 are disposed on a gripping portion 43 of the nozzle 4, which is more humanized and facilitates a user operation.
  • the garment steamer has functions of sterilization and odor removal, and the function can be operated separately from a steaming function of the garment steamer.
