[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 5 Describing the ironing machine 100 of the present application, it should be noted that the ironing machine 100 is a common household appliance, and its main function is to remove wrinkles on clothes through heating and pressure to restore the clothes to a flat and smooth state. When using the ironing machine 100, the user can set different heat levels according to the material of the clothes and the required temperature. For example, cotton and linen clothes may require higher temperatures to effectively remove wrinkles, while delicate or synthetic fabrics such as silk and polyester require lower temperatures to avoid damage. The ironing machine 100 can also be equipped with a temperature adjustment knob or a digital display, so that the user can easily select the temperature setting that best suits their clothes.

[0039] For the convenience of storage and carrying, there is also a handheld portable ironing machine 100. Compared with a standing iron, the handheld portable ironing machine 100 is more suitable for use during travel or business trips. It can be easily put into a suitcase or handbag without taking up too much space.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ironing machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a main body 110 , a steam generator 120 and a working part 130 .

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the steam generator 120 is disposed in the main body 110, and at least one of the working part 130 and the steam generator 120 defines a steam refill chamber 121. The working part 130 has a steam port 142 and an air inlet 152, and the steam port 142 is connected to the steam refill chamber 121. Figure 4 as well as Figure 7As shown by arrow b in FIG. 1 , the steam generated by the steam generator 120 is suitable for being ejected through the steam refilling chamber 121 and the steam port 142. The steam refilling chamber 121 may be a closed chamber, and water passes through the steam generator 120 to form steam and is ejected, and then the steam is reheated by the steam refilling chamber 121 to prevent the steam from forming condensed water after being cooled and causing water ejection, thereby reducing the water ejection of the ironing machine 100 and ensuring the amount of steam ejected, thereby improving the performance of the ironing machine 100.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the main body 110 is provided with an air outlet 111, and the main body 110 is provided with an air duct cavity 116. The air suction port 152 is connected with the air outlet 111 through the air duct cavity 116 to form a main air duct of the ironing machine. The airflow can enter the housing 112 from the air suction port 152 and flow to the air outlet 111 under the guidance of the air duct cavity 116, and then the airflow can flow out from the air outlet 111. Figure 7 As shown by arrow a in FIG. 1 , the ironing machine 100 can have a suction function, so that there is no need to configure an ironing board separately, that is, a good ironing effect can be achieved without the help of an ironing board, making the ironing machine 100 more portable and convenient for users to carry.

[0043] According to the ironing machine 100 of the embodiment of the present application, a steam refilling chamber 121 is provided between the working part 130 and the steam generator 120. Water passes through the steam generator 120 to form steam and is sprayed out. The steam is then reheated through the steam refilling chamber 121 to prevent the steam from forming condensed water after being cooled and causing water spraying. In this way, the water spraying of the ironing machine 100 can be reduced, and the amount of steam sprayed can be guaranteed, thereby improving the performance of the ironing machine 100.

[0044] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the main body 110 may include: a shell 112, a water tank 1123, a motor 114 and an electronic control component.

[0045] Specifically, an opening 1121 is provided on the shell 112 , the steam generator 120 is disposed in the shell 112 and located at the opening 1121 , the working part 130 is disposed at the opening 1121 to block the opening 1121 , and the steam refilling chamber 121 is located at the opening 1121 .

[0046] The air duct cavity 116 is provided in the housing 112, the air outlet 111 is provided on the housing 112 and communicated with the air duct cavity 116, the first chamber 115 and the second chamber 1125 together constitute the air duct cavity, the first chamber 115 is communicated with the air suction port 152, the second chamber 1125 is communicated with the air outlet 111, the air suction port 152 is communicated with the air outlet 111 through the air duct cavity 116, and together form the main air duct of the ironing machine. The water tank 1123 is connected to the housing 112. The water tank 1123 is communicated with the steam generator 120 through the water pipe 1131, and the water tank 1123 can be used to store water to supply water to the steam generator 120. In order to facilitate the water in the water tank 1123 to be supplied to the steam generator 120, a water pump 1132 can also be provided in the housing 112, and the water pump 1132 can provide directional power for the water flow.

[0047] It should be noted that the water tank 1123 and the housing 112 can be detachably connected or fastened by means of a snap or other form, so as to facilitate the removal of the water tank 1123 for filling with water.

[0048] The motor 114 is disposed in the air duct cavity 116 to drive the air flow in the air duct cavity 116. The electric control component is disposed in the housing 112, and the electric control component is electrically connected to the motor 114 and the steam generator 120. It should be noted that the electric control component can control the normal operation of the motor 114, the steam generator 120, and the water pump 1132. When the motor 114 is working, it can generate suction to drive the air flow, so that the air flow can enter the housing 112 from the air suction port 152.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the shell 112 defines a first chamber 115, a second chamber 1125 and a third chamber 1124 which are separated from each other, the steam generator 120 is located in the first chamber 115, the suction surface 151 is located on the side of the suction member 150 away from the steam generator 120, the suction surface 151 is provided with a suction port 152, the suction port 152 passes through the suction member 150, the air duct cavity 116 is connected with the suction port 152, the air outlet 111 is provided at the top of the shell 112 and is connected with the second chamber 1125, and the water pump 1132 is located in the third chamber 1124.

[0050] The motor 114 is disposed in the first chamber 115, and the electric control component is disposed in the third chamber 1124. Thus, it is convenient to isolate the water circuit, the electric circuit, and the gas circuit from each other, which can improve the safety factor of the ironing machine 100.

[0051] The first chamber 115 is provided with an open opening 1121 , the third chamber 1124 is provided with a heat dissipation opening, the steam generator 120 is located near the open opening 1121 , and the motor 114 is located on a side of the steam generator 120 away from the open opening 1121 .

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the working part 130 may include: a heat equalizing member 140 and an air suction member 150. Specifically, the heat equalizing member 140 is connected to the steam generator 120, and the steam port 142 runs through the heat equalizing member 140. The steam generator 120 and the heat equalizing member 140 define the steam refilling chamber. The heat equalizing member 140 can be used as a main component to realize the ironing function. The heat equalizing member 140 can evenly distribute the heat. The steam generated by the steam generator 120 can be sprayed toward the clothes to be ironed through the steam port 142. Under the joint action of the heat equalizing member 140 and the steam, the clothes to be ironed can be ironed.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air suction member 150 is disposed at the heat equalizer 140. In some examples, the air suction member 150 is connected to the heat equalizer 140. The air suction port 152 runs through the air suction member 150, and the heat equalizer 140 and the air suction member 150 are located on the same side of the steam generator 120.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 143 is provided on the heat equalizing member 140, and a steam port 142 is provided in the groove 143. When the ironing machine is working, the clothes to be ironed are sucked, and a concave steam area is formed between the clothes and the groove 143. The steam gathered in this area can increase the temperature of the surface of the clothes, which is beneficial to improving the ironing effect; reducing the probability of steam being sucked into the housing can improve the utilization rate of steam.

[0055] In order to improve the ironing effect of the ironing machine 100, in some examples, see Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the heat-spreading member 140 facing away from the steam generator 120 and the surface of the air suction member 150 facing away from the steam generator 120 are located in the same plane. In this way, the heat-spreading member 140 and the air suction member 150 are located in the same plane as the surfaces opposite to the clothes to be ironed, and when the ironing machine 100 is used, the heat-spreading member 140 and the air suction member 150 have a smoother ironing effect on the clothes.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the working part 130 may further include a filter plate 160, the filter plate 160 is connected to the heat equalizing member 140, a filter port 161 is provided on the filter plate 160, the filter port 161 penetrates the filter plate 160, and the filter plate 160 and the air suction member 150 are both sleeved on the periphery of the heat equalizing member 140. The filter plate 160 and the air suction member 150 are stacked, the filter plate 160 is located on the side of the air suction member 150 facing the steam generator 120, and the filter port 161 is connected to the air suction port 152. In this way, the filter plate 160 can filter the airflow entering the air duct cavity 116 to prevent debris from entering the housing 112.

[0057] In order to improve the ventilation effect of the filter plate 160, in some embodiments, the filter port 161 and the air suction port 152 are both multiple, and the sum of the areas of the multiple filter ports 161 is greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple air suction ports 152. Further, the ratio of the sum of the areas of the multiple filter ports 161 to the sum of the areas of the multiple air suction ports 152 is in the range of 1.3-1.8. Preferably, the sum of the areas of the multiple filter ports 161 is 1.3 times, 1.5 times or 1.8 times the sum of the areas of the multiple air suction ports 152, so that the flow space of the gas can be increased.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, a filter layer is provided between the filter plate 160 and the suction member 150. The filter layer can capture and remove tiny particles, dust and other potential pollutants in the air. The filter layer can be a HEPA member, which is usually composed of multiple layers of fibers. These fibers are densely interwoven to form an effective barrier that can intercept most of the particulate matter. When air is inhaled through the suction member 150, it can first pass through the filter layer. Since the filter layer can slow down the flow of air, thereby increasing the chance of contact between the particles and the fibers, the particles are effectively captured in the filter layer. In short, the filter layer provided between the filter plate 160 and the suction member 150 can improve the filtering performance of the entire system by physical interception, protect the subsequent filter plate 160, and also provide a convenient maintenance method for maintenance personnel.

[0059] In order to facilitate the installation of the filter surface layer, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, a first buffer groove 153 is provided on the side of the suction member 150 facing the filter plate 160, the filter layer is provided in the first buffer groove 153, and the suction port 152 and the filter port 161 are both connected to the first buffer groove 153.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, a second buffer groove 162 is provided on the side of the filter plate 160 facing away from the air suction member 150, the opening of the second buffer groove 162 faces the main body 110, and the second buffer groove 162 is connected with the filter port 161 and the air outlet 111. In this way, the airflow can be buffered in the second buffer groove 162, thereby reducing the turbulence effect and reducing the airflow noise.

[0061] In order to further optimize the structural arrangement of the air suction member 150 and the filter plate 160, according to some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air suction member 150 and the filter plate 160 are both ring-shaped, and the heat-spreading member 140 is embedded in the inner ring of the filter plate 160. In some examples, the heat-spreading member 140 can be a plate structure made of metal material, for example, the heat-spreading member 140 can be a plate structure made of aluminum alloy. The heat-spreading member 140 is in contact with the steam generator 120, so that the temperature of the steam generator 120 is thermally transferred to the heat-spreading member 140, which can heat the clothes and assist steam ironing to achieve a better ironing effect.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the working part 130 has a working surface 131, and the working surface 131 is suitable for contacting the clothes to be ironed. The working surface 131 includes a heat-evening surface 141 and a suction surface 151. The heat-evening surface 141 is provided with a steam port 142 connected to the steam refilling chamber 121, and the suction surface 151 has a suction port 152, and the suction port 152 is connected to the air outlet 111. The area of ​​the heat-evening surface 141 is S1, and the area of ​​the suction surface 151 is S2, wherein the ratio of S1 / (S1+S2) ranges from 0.4 to 0.7. Preferably, S1 / (S1+S2) can be 0.4, 0.45 or 0.7. It should be noted that the larger the area of ​​the heat-evening surface 141, the larger the contact area with the clothes during ironing, and the temperature of the heat-evening surface 141 can assist the steam to iron the clothes flatter. When the heating area obtained by the clothes becomes larger, it is also beneficial to improve the efficiency of the ironing time.

[0063] According to the ironing machine 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by optimizing the area relationship between the heat-distributing surface 141 and the suction surface 151, the contact area between the heat-distributing surface 141 and the clothes can be increased. When ironing, the temperature of the heat-distributing surface 141 can assist the steam and iron the clothes flatter. In addition, the larger the heating area of ​​the clothes, the more efficient the ironing time.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5As shown, there are multiple suction ports 152, and the ratio of the sum of the areas of the multiple suction ports 152 to the area of ​​the surface of the suction member 150 away from the steam generator 120 is 0.3-0.5. In other words, the total area of ​​the suction ports 152 can account for a ratio of 30%-50% of the total area of ​​the suction member 150. Preferably, the total area of ​​the suction ports 152 can account for 30% or 50% of the total area of ​​the suction member 150. It can be understood that the suction efficiency of the motor 114 is related to the surface through-hole area, and the through-hole area is the flow rate through which the wind passes. When the flow rate of the wind is low, the suction value embodied by the motor 114 will decrease. Therefore, the through-hole area of ​​the suction port 152 should be increased in design to obtain greater suction, thereby improving the ironing effect and making the clothes smoother after ironing.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
