In addition, the locking portion 420 or the locking mating portion 140 is disposed on a side of the flip cover 400 away from its rotation axis, so as to reduce the size of the gap formed between the flip cover 400 and the support frame 100 when the flip cover 400 is in a position covering the opening of the second mounting cavity 112, thereby preventing dust and other pollutants in the external environment from entering the second mounting cavity 112 through the gap between the flip cover 400 and the support frame 100, thereby preventing pollution to the environment of the second mounting cavity 112.

In some optional embodiments of the present application, the locking mating portion 140 forms a locking slot, and the locking portion 420 forms a plug-in portion, and the plug-in portion is plug-fitted with the locking slot. Specifically, the plug-in portion can be detachably plug-fitted with the locking slot, and then the flip cover 400 and the support frame 100 are locked or unlocked through the cooperation of the plug-in portion and the locking slot.

In some specific embodiments of the present application, the lock slot and the plug-in portion form a push-type elastic self-locking mechanism, that is, when the flip cover 400 is pressed for the first time to insert the plug-in portion into the lock slot, the plug-in portion can be locked with the lock slot, and when the flip cover 400 is pressed again, the plug-in portion continues to move a certain distance in the lock slot, and then the plug-in portion disengages from the lock slot.

Specifically, this method only requires pressing the flap 400 to achieve the engagement and disengagement of the plug-in portion and the lock slot, thereby achieving the locking or unlocking of the flap 400 and the support frame 100. This method does not require a handle or other operating components to be provided on the flap 400. On the one hand, it is convenient to simplify the complexity of the flap 400 and reduce costs. On the other hand, it is convenient to improve the aesthetics of the flap 400, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the clothing care device 1.

As shown in FIG. 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, a first liquid level indicator 510 is provided on the side wall of the first water storage container 200. The first liquid level indicator 510 is used to display the liquid level height in the first water storage container 200. The user can directly observe the height of the water level in the first water storage container 200 through the first liquid level indicator 510, and then determine the amount of water in the first water storage container 200 according to the water level height of the first water storage container 200, and judge whether it is necessary to clean the waste water in the first water storage container 200.

As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the first liquid level display component 510 is arranged on the front side wall of the first water storage container 200, that is, on the side wall of the first water storage container 200 located at the opening of the first installation cavity 111, so that the user can observe the water level in the first water storage container 200 through the first liquid level display component 510.

In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first liquid level display component 510 defines a first water storage chamber, which is connected to the water storage chamber of the first water storage container 200. The water in the water storage chamber of the first water storage container 200 can flow into the first water storage chamber. Under the action of air pressure, the height of the water level in the first water storage chamber is the same as the height of the water level in the water storage chamber of the first water storage container 200. That is to say, the user can determine the height of the water level in the water storage chamber of the first water storage container 200 by observing the water level height of the first water storage chamber in the first liquid level display component 510.

In some embodiments, the first liquid level indicator 510 has a first transparent display portion, which is exposed on the outer surface of the first water storage container 200, so that the user can directly observe the height of the water level in the first water storage cavity through the first transparent display portion, and then the user can directly determine the height of the water level in the water storage cavity of the first water storage container 200 to determine the amount of water in the first water storage container 200.

As shown in FIG. 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, a second liquid level indicator 520 is provided on the side wall of the second water storage container 300. The second liquid level indicator 520 is used to display the liquid level height in the second water storage container 300. The user can directly observe the height of the water level in the second water storage container 300 through the second liquid level indicator 520, and then determine the amount of water in the second water storage container 300 according to the water level height of the second water storage container 300, and then determine the usage of the water in the second water storage container 300, and judge whether it is necessary to replenish the second water storage container 300.

As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the second liquid level display component 520 is arranged on the front side wall of the second water storage container 300, that is, it is arranged on the side wall of the second water storage container 300 located at the opening of the second installation cavity 112, so that the user can observe the water level in the second water storage container 300 through the second liquid level display component 520.

In some optional embodiments of the present application, the second liquid level display component 520 defines a second water storage chamber, and the second water storage chamber is connected to the water storage chamber of the second water storage container 300. The water in the water storage chamber of the second water storage container 300 can flow into the second water storage chamber. Under the action of air pressure, the height of the water level in the second water storage chamber is the same as the height of the water level in the water storage chamber of the second water storage container 300. That is to say, the user can determine the height of the water level in the water storage chamber of the second water storage container 300 by observing the water level height of the second water storage chamber in the second liquid level display component 520, and then determine the amount of water in the second water storage container 300, and then determine the usage of the water in the second water storage container 300, and judge whether the second water storage container 300 needs to be replenished with water.

In some embodiments, the second liquid level indicator 520 has a second transparent display portion, which is exposed on the outer surface of the second water storage container 300, so that the user can directly observe the height of the water level in the second water storage cavity through the second transparent display portion, and then the user can directly determine the height of the water level in the water storage cavity of the second water storage container 300 to determine the amount of water in the second water storage container 300.

As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in some embodiments of the present application, the second installation cavity 112 has a water outlet pipe 150, which protrudes from the inner surface of the second installation cavity 112, and a water outlet valve 350 that can be turned on and off is provided at the water outlet hole 330 of the second water storage container 300.

When the second water storage container 300 is installed in place in the second installation cavity 112, the water outlet valve 350 abuts against the water outlet pipe 150 to switch to a conductive state and connect the water outlet pipe 150 and the water storage cavity of the second water storage container 300. At this time, the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow into the water outlet pipe 150 from the water outlet hole 330 and flow to the designated position along the water outlet pipe 150.

When the water outlet valve 350 is out of coordination with the water outlet pipe 150, the water outlet valve 350 is switched to a disconnected state. At this time, the water in the second water storage container 300 cannot flow out through the water outlet hole 330, so as to seal the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking out from the water outlet hole 330.

Specifically, the user can push the second water storage container 300 along the second direction to install the second water storage container 300 into the second installation cavity 112. When the second water storage container 300 is installed in place in the second installation cavity 112, the water outlet valve 350 and the water outlet pipe 150 are abutted against each other, and the water outlet pipe 150 can drive the water outlet valve 350 to switch to a conducting state. At this time, the water outlet valve 350 connects the water outlet pipe 150 and the water storage cavity of the second water storage container 300. At this time, the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow into the water outlet pipe 150 from the water outlet hole 330 and flow to the designated position along the water outlet pipe 150.

When the user pulls the second water storage container 300 along the second direction to remove the second water storage container 300 from the second installation cavity 112, during the process of pulling the second water storage container 300 out of the second installation cavity 112, the water outlet valve 350 moves in a direction away from the water outlet pipe 150 to disengage the water outlet valve 350 from the water outlet pipe 150, thereby switching the water outlet valve 350 to a disconnected state to disconnect the water outlet pipe 150 and the water storage cavity of the second water storage container 300, thereby sealing the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking out of the water outlet hole 330, so as to facilitate the user to operate the water inlet container.

As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the water outlet pipe 150 is arranged on the upper part of the side wall of the second installation cavity 112, and the water outlet valve 350 is arranged on the upper part of the side wall of the second water storage container 300. This arrangement facilitates reducing the water pressure on the water outlet valve 350, thereby avoiding the influence of the water pressure on the water outlet valve 350, so that the water outlet valve 350 can smoothly connect or disconnect the water outlet pipe 150 and the second water storage container 300.

Specifically, when the water pressure on the water outlet valve 350 is too high, the water outlet valve 350 may fail to seal the water outlet hole 330 normally, and the water at the water outlet hole 330 may leak out from the gap between the water outlet valve 350 and the wall of the water outlet hole 330, affecting the user's use.

Therefore, the water outlet valve 350 is arranged at the upper part of the side wall of the second water storage container 300 to prevent the water outlet valve 350 from being subjected to water pressure or to reduce the water pressure on the water outlet valve 350, so as to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking out from the gap between the water outlet valve 350 and the wall of the water outlet hole 330, and to prevent this part of water from leaking into the second water installation cavity 112, thereby affecting the user experience.

As shown in Figure 8, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the water outlet valve 350 includes a valve housing 351 and a valve core 352. The valve housing 351 is arranged in the second water storage container 300. A water passage chamber 355 is defined between the valve housing 351 and the second water storage container 300. The water passage chamber 355 is suitable for connecting the water outlet hole 330 and the water storage chamber of the second water storage container 300, so that the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow to the water outlet hole 330 through the water passage chamber 355, and the water in the water passage chamber 355 can flow from the water outlet hole 330 along the water outlet pipe 150 to the designated area.

The valve core 352 is movably arranged on the valve housing 351 between a first position and a second position. When the valve core 352 is in the first position, the valve core 352 blocks the outlet of the water passage chamber 355 to disconnect the water outlet hole 330 and the water passage chamber 355. At this time, the water outlet valve 350 can seal the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water outlet hole 330.

When the valve core 352 is in the second position, the valve core 352 opens at least a portion of the outlet of the water chamber 355 to connect the water outlet hole 330 and the water chamber 355. The water in the water chamber 355 can flow from the water outlet hole 330 to the water outlet pipe 150, and flow along the water outlet pipe 150 to the designated area, so that the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow to the designated area.

Specifically, when the second water storage container 300 moves in the first installation cavity 111 along the second direction, the water outlet valve 350 at the water outlet hole 330 of the second water storage container 300 moves in the second direction relative to the water outlet pipe 150 in the second installation cavity 112. When the second water storage container 300 is installed in place in the second installation cavity 112, the water outlet valve 350 abuts against the water outlet pipe 150. At this time, the water outlet pipe 150 can push the valve core 352 to move to the second position along the second direction to guide the water through the water cavity 355 and the water outlet hole 330. At this time, the water in the water through the water cavity 355 can flow from the water outlet hole 330 to the water outlet pipe 150, and flow to the designated area along the water outlet pipe 150, so that the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow to the designated area.

When the second water storage container 300 is moved out of the second installation cavity 112 along the second direction, the water outlet valve 350 is disengaged from the water outlet pipe 150. At this time, the valve core 352 moves to the first position to disconnect the water passage cavity 355 and the water outlet hole 330. At this time, the water outlet valve 350 can seal the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water outlet hole 330 when the user operates the second water storage container 300.

In some specific embodiments of the present application, a sealing member is provided between the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330 to seal the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330, thereby preventing water at the water outlet hole 330 from leaking out from the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330. A sealing member is provided between the valve core 352 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330 to seal the valve core 352 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330, thereby preventing water at the water outlet hole 330 from leaking out from the valve core 352 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330.

As shown in Figure 8, in some specific embodiments of the present application, a first seal 361 is provided between the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330, and the side wall of the first seal has a plurality of sealing lips, and the plurality of sealing lips are spaced apart along the length direction of the first seal to perform multi-level sealing on the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330, thereby fully sealing the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330 to prevent water at the water outlet hole 330 from leaking from the water outlet pipe 150 and the hole wall of the water outlet hole 330.

A second sealing member 362 is provided between the valve core 352 and the wall of the water outlet hole 330 . The second sealing member is formed as a sealing ring to seal the valve core 352 and the wall of the water outlet hole 330 to prevent water at the water outlet hole 330 from leaking out from the valve core 352 and the wall of the water outlet hole 330 .

As shown in FIG. 8 , in some specific embodiments of the present application, a third sealing member 363 is provided between the valve housing 351 and the second water storage container 300 to seal the gap between the valve housing 351 and the second water storage container 300, thereby sealing the water passage chamber 355 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the water in the water passage chamber 355 from leaking from the gap between the valve housing 351 and the second water storage container 300 to the second water storage container 300, so as to ensure that the water in the water passage chamber 355 can smoothly flow from the water outlet hole 330 to the water outlet pipe 150, and flow to the designated area along the water outlet pipe 150.

In some specific embodiments of the present application, the water outlet valve 350 also includes an elastic member 353, which is arranged between the valve housing 351 and the valve core 352 to drive the valve core 352 to move toward the first position, so that the valve core 352 can return to the first position and re-disconnect the water outlet hole 330 and the water passage chamber 355, thereby sealing the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water outlet hole 330.

Specifically, when the second water storage container 300 is installed in place in the second installation cavity 112, the water outlet valve 350 is in abutment with the water outlet pipe 150. At this time, the water outlet pipe 150 can push the valve core 352 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 353 and move to the second position to guide the water through the water cavity 355 and the water outlet hole 330. At this time, the water in the water through the water cavity 355 can flow from the water outlet hole 330 to the water outlet pipe 150, and flow along the water outlet pipe 150 to the designated area, so that the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow to the designated area.

When the second water storage container 300 is moved out of the second installation cavity 112 along the second direction, the water outlet valve 350 is disengaged from the water outlet pipe 150, and the valve core 352 is moved to the first position along the second direction under the push of the elastic member 353 to disconnect the water passage cavity 355 and the water outlet hole 330. At this time, the water outlet valve 350 can seal the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water outlet hole 330 when the user operates the second water storage container 300.

As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the second direction extends along the front-to-back direction, the water outlet pipe 150 is located on the rear side of the valve core 352, and the elastic member 353 is located on the front side of the valve core 352. When the water outlet valve 350 abuts against the water outlet pipe 150, the water outlet pipe 150 can push the valve core 352 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 353 and move forward to the second position.

When the water outlet valve 350 is disengaged from the water outlet pipe 150, the elastic member 353 can push the valve core 352 to move backward to the first position. It should be understood here that the above-mentioned direction limitation is only for the convenience of describing the drawings and will not limit the actual setting position and direction of the clothing care device 1.

Among them, the elastic member 353 is a compression spring to ensure that the elastic member 353 always has a backward thrust on the valve core 352, so that when the water outlet valve 350 is disengaged from the water outlet pipe 150, the valve core 352 can be smoothly pushed to move backward to the first position, so that the valve core 352 can disconnect the water outlet hole 330 and the water passage chamber 355, and then the water outlet valve 350 can seal the water outlet hole 330 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water outlet hole 330.

As shown in FIG. 8 , in some specific embodiments of the present application, a water pipe 354 is further provided in the second water storage container 300, one end of the water pipe 354 is connected to the inlet of the water passage chamber 355, and the other end of the water pipe 354 extends toward the bottom wall of the second water storage container 300, so that water at the bottom of the second water storage container 300 flows along the water pipe 354 to the water passage chamber 355, flows along the water passage chamber 355 from the water outlet hole 330 to the water outlet pipe 150, and flows along the water outlet pipe 150 to the designated area.

Specifically, by extending one end of the water pipe 354 toward the bottom wall of the second water storage container 300, the water in the second water storage container 300 can be fully discharged to the designated area, thereby preventing the water from remaining in the second water storage container 300 for a long time and preventing bacteria from growing on the bottom wall of the second water storage container 300.

As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the water pipe 354 extends in the up and down direction, the upper end of the water pipe 354 is connected to the inlet of the water chamber 355, the lower end of the water pipe 354 extends toward the bottom wall of the second water storage container 300, and the water chamber 355 defined between the valve housing 351 and the second water storage container 300 extends in the left and right direction.

Among them, the water outlet pipe 150 is connected to the water pump, and the water pump can drive the water at the bottom of the second water storage container 300 to flow upward along the water pipe 354 to the water chamber 355, and then flow rightward along the left and right direction in the water chamber 355 to the water hole, flow from the water hole to the water outlet pipe 150, and then flow along the water outlet pipe 150 to the designated area.

As shown in Figures 9 and 10, in some embodiments of the present application, the top wall of the second water storage container 300 is provided with a water inlet 340. When the second water storage container 300 needs to be replenished with water, water can be added to the second water storage container 300 through the water inlet 340 to replenish the second water storage container 300.

The top wall of the second water storage container 300 is provided with a cover 610 and a filter element. The cover 610 can be movably arranged on the top wall of the second water storage container 300. The cover 610 includes a blocking portion 611, and the blocking portion 611 is used to block the water inlet 340. When there is no need to replenish water in the second water storage container 300, the water inlet 340 is blocked by the blocking portion 611 to prevent dust and other substances in the external environment from entering the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340, thereby preventing pollution to the environment in the second water storage container 300.

The cover 610 is movably disposed on the second water storage container 300 so that when the cover 610 moves, it can drive the blocking portion 611 to move, thereby allowing the blocking portion 611 to move toward the water inlet 340 to block the water inlet 340 or move away from the water inlet 340 to open the water inlet 340.

Specifically, when it is necessary to replenish water into the second water storage container 300 through the water inlet 340, the cover 610 can be moved to drive the blocking part 611 to move, so that the blocking part 611 moves away from the water inlet 340, thereby opening the water inlet 340. At this time, the user can replenish water into the second water storage container 300 through the water inlet 340.

After the water replenishment of the second water storage container 300 is completed, the cover 610 can be moved to drive the blocking part 611 to move, so that the blocking part 611 moves in the direction close to the water inlet 340, and then the blocking part 611 can block the water inlet 340. On the one hand, it can prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from leaking from the water inlet 340, and on the other hand, it can prevent pollutants from the external environment from entering the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340, thereby avoiding pollution of the water in the second water storage container 300.

The filter element is disposed at the water inlet 340 to filter the water entering the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340. When the second water storage container 300 is replenished with water, the water entering from the water inlet 340 is filtered by the filter element and then enters the second water storage container 300 to ensure that the water entering the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340 is clean water, to ensure the cleanliness of the water in the second water storage container 300, to prevent sewage from entering the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340, and to prevent pollution to the environment in the second water storage container 300 and the water in the second water storage container 300.

Among them, the water in the second water storage container 300 can flow from the water outlet 330 to the designated area, and the filter element can filter the water entering the second water storage container 300 to prevent the water entering the second water storage container 300 from containing too many impurities, to prevent these impurities from accumulating in the second water storage container 300 and forming scale in the second water storage container 300, to prevent scale or other pollutants from blocking the water outlet valve 350 at the water outlet 330.

As shown in Figure 10, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the top wall of the second water storage container 300 has a protrusion 370, and the water inlet 340 is arranged on the protrusion 370, so as to facilitate the user to replenish water into the second water storage container 300 from the water inlet 340 on the protrusion 370, thereby facilitating the user's operation.

Among them, the protrusion 370 extends downwardly at an angle along the second direction to form a space for installing the cover 610, so that the cover 610 is set at the protrusion 370, so that the blocking portion 611 on the cover 610 can block the water inlet 340, and at the same time, it can prevent the cover 610 from scratching against the top wall of the second accommodating cavity 82 when the second water storage container 300 moves in the second accommodating cavity 82 along the second direction.

As shown in Figure 9, in some embodiments of the present application, the clothing care device 1 also includes a water level sensor component 700, which is used to detect the water level in the second water storage container 300. When the water level in the second water storage container 300 is lower than the first water level, the water level sensor component 700 sends an alarm signal to notify the user to replenish water to the second water storage container 300 in time.

In some embodiments, the first water level is the water level when the water level in the second water storage container 300 is zero. When the water in the second water storage container 300 is dry, the water level sensor assembly 700 sends an alarm signal to remind the user to add water to the second water storage container 300. At this time, the user can rotate the flip cover 400 to open the second accommodating cavity 82, and then pull the second water storage container 300 forward along the second direction to make the water inlet 340 at the top of the second water storage container 300 leak out of the second accommodating cavity 82, and then rotate the sealing cover 610 to make the sealing part 611 open the water inlet 340. At this time, the user can add water to the second water storage container 300 through the water inlet 340.

Of course, the first water level may also be the water level when the water level in the second water storage container 300 is about to reach zero, so as to avoid the situation where the clothing care device 1 continues to work when the user fails to notice the alarm signal and the second water storage container 300 cannot provide water to the clothing care device 1, thereby avoiding safety hazards.

In some optional embodiments of the present application, the water level sensing assembly 700 includes a water level sensor 710 and a float 720. The water level sensor 710 is disposed outside the second water storage container 300 to prevent the water in the second water storage container 300 from affecting the water level sensor 710. The float 720 is disposed in the second water storage container 300 and can be moved up and down through a limit member 730.

Among them, the float 720 has a sensing element suitable for mutual sensing with the water level sensor 710. When the water level in the second water storage container 300 is lower than the first water level, the sensing element and the water level sensor 710 are disconnected from sensing. At this time, the water level sensor assembly 700 will send an alarm signal to remind the user to add water to the second water storage container 300 in time.

When the water level in the second water storage container 300 is higher than the second water level, the sensing element and the water level sensor 710 sense each other. At this time, the water in the second water storage container 300 is sufficient, and the user does not need to refill the second water storage container 300 with water.

In some embodiments, the sensing element and the water level sensor 710 are inductively coupled by magnetic attraction. When the water level in the second water storage container 300 is lower than the first water level, the distance between the sensing element on the float 720 and the water level sensor 710 is too far. At this time, the sensing element is disconnected from the water level sensor 710, and the water level sensor assembly 700 sends an alarm signal to remind the user to replenish the second water storage container 300 with water in time.

When the water level in the second water storage container 300 gradually rises to the second water level, the float 720 gradually moves up. At this time, the sensing element on the float 720 gradually approaches the water level sensor 710. When the water level in the second water storage container 300 is higher than the second water level, the sensor and the water level sensor 710 sense each other. At this time, the water level sensor assembly 700 no longer alarms.

Among them, the limiter 730 limits the maximum height to which the float 720 can rise, so as to avoid that when the water level in the second water storage container 300 gradually rises, the float 720 moves upward too long, making the distance between the float 720 and the water level sensor 710 too far, causing the sensing element in the float 720 to be disconnected from the water level sensor 710, causing the water level sensor assembly 700 to misjudge the water level in the second water storage container 300.

In some specific embodiments of the present application, the clothing care device also includes a steam generator, which is connected to the second water storage container 300, and the steam outlet is connected to the care cavity 81. The water in the second water storage container 300 can flow into the steam generator, and after being processed in the steam generator, it forms water vapor. The formed water vapor can flow into the care cavity 81 through the steam outlet to care for the clothes in the care cavity 81, for example, using the formed water vapor to iron the clothes.
