Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to ironing equipment, and particularly relates to a vaporizing boiler and an ironing machine with both hanging ironing and flat ironing functions. Background Art

[0002] An electric iron, such as the electric iron disclosed in the design patent with the authorization announcement number CN305040400S, is an ironing equipment for flat ironing, that is, for ironing clothes laid flat on an ironing board, and is generally not used for hanging ironing. A steam brush, such as the handheld steam brush disclosed in the design patent with the authorization announcement number CN305581614S, is an ironing equipment for hanging ironing, that is, for ironing hanging clothes, and is generally not used for flat ironing. Therefore, the use functions of the aforementioned electric iron and steam brush need to be expanded.

[0003] The invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN206289449U discloses a steam brush with an adjustable head posture suitable for comfortable ironing. It is set by making the panel of the steam brush head changeable in posture. When in use, the panel contacts the clothes to be ironed, and the panel can change its posture by means of the force feedback from the clothes, so that it is not necessary to tilt the whole steam brush too much to adjust to a suitable posture, improving the convenience of use, reducing the operation intensity of the arm and wrist, and relieving fatigue. Whether this steam brush is for hanging ironing or flat ironing, it can automatically adjust the angle according to the ironing surface to reduce the rotation frequency of the user's arm and wrist changes. Finally, the purpose of reducing the use intensity is achieved.

[0004] The aforementioned steam brush that can perform hanging ironing and flat ironing realizes hanging ironing and flat ironing through a single panel. There are certain limitations in using the same panel for flat ironing and hanging ironing, and when changing the ironing method, it is necessary to tilt the whole steam brush approximately 90° to switch from the hanging ironing state to the flat state. Even though its panel can change its posture, the changeable range is small, and a matching structure with the boiler needs to be configured for the panel to change its posture. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.

[0034] As Figure 5The shown vaporizing boiler 100 includes a furnace body 101 and an electric heating element for heating the furnace body. There is a vaporizing chamber 102 inside the furnace body 101. The furnace body 101 is provided with a water inlet for supplying water to the vaporizing chamber. On the surface of the furnace body, there are intersecting first ironing surfaces 103 and second ironing surfaces 104. The included angle β between the first ironing surface 103 and the second ironing surface 104 is 90° ≤ β < 180°, preferably 135°. In the figure, the first ironing surface 103 and the second ironing surface 104 are directly formed on the furnace body, which can be obtained by casting. Specifically in implementation, the first ironing surface and the second ironing surface can also be assembled on the furnace body as independent spare parts. An air outlet hole 105 communicating with the vaporizing chamber is provided at the intersection of the first ironing surface and the second ironing surface. The electric heating element is an electric heating pipe 107 buried in the furnace body, and the electric heating pipe 107 is bent along the first ironing surface and the second ironing surface. Depending on the configuration of the first ironing surface, the second ironing surface and the air outlet hole, the vaporizing boiler has both hanging ironing and flat ironing functions.

[0035] For this vaporizing boiler, water enters the vaporizing chamber through the water inlet, is heated and converted into steam in the vaporizing chamber, and then is discharged from the air outlet hole.

[0036] In the figure, both the first ironing surface 103 and the second ironing surface 104 are flat surfaces. Specifically in implementation, they can also be arc surfaces. Moreover, the intersection of the first ironing surface and the second ironing surface is connected by a transition surface 106, and the air outlet hole 105 is provided on the transition surface 106. The transition surface 106 in the figure is a flat surface, and specifically in implementation, it can also be an arc surface. In order to make the ironing surface in contact with the clothes smooth, flat and durable, a first ironing panel can also be configured for the first ironing surface, and a second ironing panel can be configured for the second ironing surface. When the furnace body is made of die-cast aluminum alloy, the first ironing panel and the second ironing panel can be made of stainless steel.

[0037] Applying the above vaporizing boiler to an ironing machine such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the ironing machine includes a machine body 200, a water tank 300 and a water pump 400 assembled on the machine body. A holding part 201 is also provided on the machine body. During operation, the water pump transports the stored water in the water tank to the vaporizing chamber of the vaporizing boiler. The water is heated and converted into steam in the vaporizing chamber and then discharged from the air outlet hole for ironing.

[0038] The shown first ironing surface 103 and second ironing surface 104 are located at the bottom of the ironing machine. The holding part 201 is located at the upper part of the ironing machine. Thus, ironing can be carried out while holding the holding part.

[0039] Such as Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet hole 105 is located at the front end of the first ironing surface 103. The entire ironing machine can be used to perform flat ironing by contacting the first ironing surface 103 with the laid clothes 500, and the entire ironing machine can also be placed by means of the first ironing surface. When the ironing machine is moved from Figure 2When it rotates counterclockwise by 45° from the shown state, the second ironing surface 104 can contact the laid flat clothing 500 to perform ironing. The first ironing surface and the second ironing surface can be configured with different temperatures, so as to meet different ironing requirements and be conveniently selected by the user.

[0040] When the ironing machine is rotated Figure 2 clockwise by 45° from the shown state, the whole product reaches Figure 3 the shown state. At this time, the second ironing surface 104 is in a vertical state, and the hanging clothing can be ironed.

[0041] For easy holding, a retractable handle 202 is arranged in the holding part 201. When the handle 202 extends, it can be held to perform ironing. Further, a positioning structure is arranged on the body and the handle to position the handle in Figures 1-2 the shown storage state and Figure 3 the shown extended state. The positioning structure includes a telescopic pin 203 arranged on the body, a first positioning hole 204 and a second positioning hole 205 arranged on the handle. In Figures 1-2 the shown state and Figure 3 the shown state, the telescopic pin is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole to achieve positioning.

[0042] To simplify the structure, the water tank is arranged on the handle to avoid increasing the volume of the product.
