DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

Refer to the FIG. 1 to the FIG. 5, the preferred embodiment of the steam blow head of the garment steamer in the present invention is provided.

The steam blow head includes a body 100, a switching unit 200, a nozzle 300, an iron 400, a handle 500, a steam switch 600 and an indicating light 700.

A steam inlet 110 is disposed inside the body 100.

The switching unit 200 includes a valve body 210, a valve disc 220, a switch 230 and a permanent seat 240, where:

The valve body 210 disposed inside the body 100 is disposed with an inlet 211 and two outlets 212 and 213. The inlet 211 and the first outlet 212 are disposed on the surrounding of the valve body 210. The second outlet 213 is disposed at the bottom of the valve body 210. A first steam outlet 214 and a second steam outlet 215 are disposed inside the valve body 210. When the inlet 211 is connected to the first outlet 212, a first steam outlet 214 is formed between the inlet 211 and the first outlet 212; when the inlet 211 is connected to the second outlet 213, a second steam outlet 215 is formed between the inlet 211 and the second outlet 213.

The valve disc 220 is controlled by the switch 230, and sliding connected to the valve body 210 inside. The valve disc 220 is disposed with an extension rod 221 out of the valve body 210. A piston 222 can be sleeved in the valve disc 220 as required to promote the sealed characteristic. The periphery wall and the bottom side of the valve disc 220 are disposed with piston 222.

The switch 230 is disposed outside the top of the body 100, and a poking button is disposed on the surrounding of the switch 230 for use-friendly.

The switch 230 is locked catch to the end face of the permanent seat 240. With which the permanent seat 240 is fixed to the switch 230, which is then faced to the end face of the permanent seat 240. As figured in the FIG. 5, the permanent seat 240 has a periphery wall 241, and the bottom side 242 is helical surface. The bottom side of the periphery wall of the permanent seat 240 is withstood and sliding connected to the top of the extension rod.

The nozzle 300 is connected to the first outlet 212 through a silicone tube 310 and disposed outside the side face of the body 100. When the steam is exhausted out of the nozzle 300, the garment steamer can wet the local area of the cloth and soften it fast.

The iron 400 is connected to the bottom of the body 100. a heating pan 410 is disposed at the bottom of the iron 400. the steam is heated secondary by the heating pan to prevent the steam changing to be liquid; several steam outlets are disposed on the bottom surface of the iron 400 (not represent in the drawings). When the steam is exhausted out of the steam opening, the steam blow head can steam the cloth.

A steam switch 600 and a indicating light 700 are disposed outside the body 100.

The steam blow head is connected to the steam generator by a steam pipe. The steam pipe and the steam generator are not represented in the drawings.

The principle of the steam blow head is as the listed:

When the garment steamer is at the steaming state, as figured in the FIG. 1 and the FIG. 2, the axis of the handle 500 is vertical to that of the iron 400. power on to startup the steam generator, when the indicating light 700 is on, the steam is full enough. Then press on the steam switch 600, the steam is moved to the steam inlet 100 of the body 100 along the steam pipe. Snap the knob button 231 of the switch 230 to make the periphery wall 241 of the permanent seat 240 rotating with the switch 230. When the highest end of the periphery wall 241 withstands the top of the extension rod 221, stop to snap. The extension rod 211 will push the valve disc 220 moving downward inside the valve body 210 with the withstanding of the bottom side 242. This time the bottom of the valve disc 220 is situated below the inlet 211 and the first outlet 212. so the inlet 211 is connected to the first outlet 212, the steam is moving from the steam inlet 110 to the inlet 211, then moving out of the first outlet 212 after passing by the first steam outlet 214. Then the steam reaches to the nozzle 300 through the silicone tube 310 and exhausts out of the nozzle 300. The user handles the nozzle 300 to the cloth portion to wet and soften it.

When the steam is needed to be exhausted out of the second outlet 213, keep on rotating the knob button 231 of the switch 230 to make the permanent seat 240 rotating. As the transmission between the valve disc 220 and the switch 230, the position of the valve disc 220 inside the valve body 210 is adjustable. The valve disc 220 stops sliding when it reaches to the position above the inlet 211 and below the first inlet 212. This time the second steam outlet 215 is connected to the inlet 211, and the steam is exhausted out of the second outlet 213.

The steam blow head is situated in the ironing state, as figured in the FIG. 3 and the FIG. 4. Rotate the handle 500 to make the axis is coincidence to that of the iron 400. Power on to startup the steam generator, when the indicating light 700 is on, the steam is full enough. Then press on the steam switch 600, the steam is moved to the steam inlet 100 of the body 100 along the steam pipe. Snap the knob button 231 of the switch 230 to make the periphery wall 241 of the permanent seat 240 rotating with the switch 230. When the highest end of the periphery wall 241 withstands the top of the extension rod 221, stop to snap. The extension rod 211 will push the valve disc 220 moving upward inside the valve body 210 with the withstanding of the bottom side 242. This time the bottom of the valve disc 220 is situated above the inlet 211 and below the first outlet 212. so the inlet 211 is connected to the second outlet 213, the steam is moving from the steam inlet 110 to the inlet 211, then moving out of the second outlet 213 after passing by the second steam outlet 215 to be heated secondary by the heating pan 410. Then the steam reaches to the nozzle 300 through the silicone tube 310 and exhausts out of the nozzle 300. The user handles the steam blow head to iron the cloth.

Similarly, the function to wet and soft the local area of cloth is applied for the ironing, the operation is as the listed: keep on rotating the knob button 231 of the switch 230 to make the permanent seat 240 rotating. As the transmission between the valve disc 220 and the switch 230, the position the valve disc 220 inside the valve body 210 is adjustable. The valve disc 220 stops sliding when it reaches to the position below the inlet 211 and the first inlet 212. This time the first steam outlet 214 is connected to the inlet 211, and the steam is moving from the first outlet 212 to the nozzle 300 through the silicone tube 310 and exhausted from the nozzle 300. the user handles the nozzle 300 to the cloth portion to wet and soften it.

When in garment steaming or ironing, the user keeps on snapping the switch 230 to making the steam exhausted out of the nozzle 300 intermittently. So it can wet the local area of the cloth and soften it fast in the garment steaming state or the ironing state, promoting the efficiency of clothing controlling.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
