Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric iron, in particular to an electric iron with a double-layer bottom plate. Background Art

[0002] At present, when ordinary irons on the market are used, the bottom plate temperature is prone to be too high, which is easy to affect the ironing quality and easily damage clothes with poor heat resistance. Once the temperature is lowered, dripping will occur. The dripping phenomenon seriously affects the ironing effect. In order to solve the dripping problem, many solutions have appeared in the prior art. For example, the Chinese patent No. 200820121507.2 utility model patent, the publication date of which is April 15, 2009, discloses an electric iron, including a body, a handle on the body, a water tank and an electromagnetic pump in the body, an electric heating plate at the bottom of the body, a preheating chamber with a first heating device on the electric heating plate, one end of the preheating chamber is connected to the electromagnetic pump through a water pipe, and the other end of the preheating chamber is connected to a vaporization chamber with a second heating device. The circuit of the second heating device is connected in parallel with the circuit of the first heating device, and the electromagnetic pump switch controls the circuit connection. This solution can make the water vapor sent out of the preheating chamber vaporized again, thereby better improving the vaporization effect of water and reducing water leakage. The above solution improves the vaporization effect by heating twice to reduce water leakage. However, this solution still fails to solve the problem of dripping water, and using two heating steps not only increases energy consumption, but also results in excessively high temperatures, which affects ironing. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provide an electric iron with a double-layer bottom plate which can reduce dripping and has low energy consumption.

When ordinary irons on the market are used, the bottom plate temperature is easily too high, which is easy to affect the ironing quality and damage clothes with poor heat resistance, and once the temperature is lowered, dripping will occur. The bottom plate functional part of the present invention is composed of two layers, wherein the upper heating bottom plate 21 mainly functions to evaporate and heat the water vapor mixture through its own high temperature, and the lower ironing bottom plate 22 controls the final air outlet effect through the steam channel and the hole position. Since the bottom plate is designed in layers, there is a certain distance between the heating bottom plate 21 and the ironing bottom plate 22 in contact with the clothes, so the temperature of the ironing bottom plate 22 can be guaranteed to be between 90-120°C, so as to protect the clothes during ironing, and at the same time, it can avoid dripping due to too low temperature, so as to spray out high-temperature dry steam. On the other hand, unlike the design of ordinary irons with integrated functions, the layered design of the bottom plate prevents the two functions of evaporation and exhaust from interfering with each other, so as to achieve a better ironing effect. The heating bottom plate 21 and the ironing bottom plate 22 in the present invention are connected together by a connecting structure, and the temperature of the ironing bottom plate 22 can be controlled by adjusting the gap between the two, so that the temperature of the ironing bottom plate 22 is controllable and convenient for design.
