Downflow water diverter specifically for a steam iron and steam iron thereof

Abstract

A steam iron-specific downflow water diverter and a steam iron incorporating the same, relating to the technical field of household appliances. The steam iron-specific downflow water diverter includes a diverter body, and a central part of the diverter body is provided with a water collection chamber. An inlet port interconnected with the water collection chamber is disposed at an upper end of the diverter body, and at least two outlet ports interconnected with the water collection chamber are disposed at a lower end of the diverter body. The steam iron of the present disclosure splits a single-source water into multiple channels and allows the multiple channels of water to flow from the outlet ports down to the base plate of the steam iron simultaneously, this innovation achieves uniform water distribution across the base plate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A downflow water diverter specifically for a steam iron, comprising:
 a diverter body, wherein a central part of the diverter body is provided with a water collection chamber, an inlet port interconnected with the water collection chamber is disposed at an upper end of the diverter body, and at least two outlet ports interconnected with the water collection chamber are disposed at a lower end of the diverter body.   
     
     
         2 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the downflow water diverter further comprises a guide tube, the outlet ports comprise a first outlet port and a second outlet port, the guide tube is arranged at the lower end of the diverter body and is interconnected with the second outlet port. 
     
     
         3 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 2 , wherein the guide tube is configured with an L-shaped bend. 
     
     
         4 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 3 , wherein a guiding protrusion is formed on an outer sidewall of the diverter body towards a bending direction of the guide tube. 
     
     
         5 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the inlet port is formed as a gradually constricted tapered structure. 
     
     
         6 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 1 , wherein an annular protrusion is provided circumferentially on the outer sidewall of the diverter body. 
     
     
         7 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 1 , wherein a positioning groove is provided circumferentially on the outer sidewall of the diverter body. 
     
     
         8 . The downflow water diverter specifically for the steam iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the diverter body is connectable to a water discharge unit of the steam iron. 
     
     
         9 . A steam iron comprising: the steam iron-specific downflow water diverter according to any one of  claim 1-8 .
