An adjustable temperature ironing machine includes a housing 1 and a nozzle panel 2 for ironing clothing. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 10 with an outer opening. The nozzle panel 2 is installed at the opening and closes the receiving cavity 10. The nozzle panel 2 has multiple steam outlets 20. A water tank 3 and a heating device 4 for heating the water in the water tank 3 are disposed within the receiving cavity 10. An atomizing device 5 is located between the nozzle panel 2 and the water tank 3. The atomizing device 5 atomizes the water in the water tank 3 into mist and sprays it out through the steam outlets 20.

[0024] In the embodiment, the water tank 3 is provided with a water outlet hole 30 on the outer wall, and the atomizing device 5 is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 3 at the water outlet hole 30, which comprises an atomizing sheet 51 installed closely at the water outlet hole 30, a sealing member 52 tightly wrapped outside the atomizing sheet 51 and sealing the water outlet hole 30, and a fixing bracket 53 for fixing the sealing member 52 and the atomizing sheet 51. Meanwhile, the inside of the nozzle panel 2 is provided with a mounting cavity 21, the atomizing device 5 is installed in the mounting cavity 21, and the steam outlet hole 20 is arranged on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 21. In the embodiment, the mounting cavity 21 is recessed outwardly from the nozzle panel 2, which has the function of accommodating the atomizing device 5, and also has the function of guiding the atomized steam of the atomizing device 5, which can be easily sprayed out through the steam outlet hole 20 arranged on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 21. Moreover, the outer wall of the water tank 3 is installed closely with the nozzle panel 2, and the water tank 3 is a metal heat-conducting member, when the heating device 4 heats the water in the water tank 3, the heat of the water in the water tank 3 will be conducted to the nozzle panel 2 through the water tank 3, so as to realize the ironing of the clothes by the nozzle panel 2.

[0025] For the embodiment, the nozzle panel 2 and the water tank 3 are provided with positioning structures for facilitating the installation of the two, wherein the nozzle panel 2 is provided with a positioning groove 22, and the outer wall of the water tank 3 is provided with a positioning pin 32, wherein the positioning pin 32 is inserted into the positioning groove 22 to form the positioning structure of the nozzle panel 2 and the water tank 3. Of course, for the embodiment, the positioning pin and the positioning groove can also be interchangeably arranged, that is, the positioning pin is arranged on the nozzle panel, and the positioning groove is arranged on the water tank. Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the outside of the machine shell body 1 is also provided with a water filling hole 31 communicating with the water tank 3, and a sealing plug 6 is installed at the water filling hole 31, which can prevent the water in the water tank 3 from leaking outside the machine shell body 1 during the ironing of the clothes.

[0026] In addition, in the embodiment, the control device 7 is also installed in the accommodating cavity 10 of the machine shell body 1, the water tank 3 is provided with a temperature sensor 8 for detecting the water temperature, and the atomizing device 5 and the temperature sensor 8 are electrically connected with the control device 7 respectively.

[0027] For the temperature-adjustable iron of the embodiment, the water tank is directly installed in the machine shell body, and the atomizing device is connected to the water tank. During ironing, the water in the water tank can be atomized into mist by the vibration of the atomizing sheet in the atomizing device, and then sprayed into the inner layer of the clothes through the steam outlet holes of the nozzle panel. Then the clothes are ironed by the nozzle panel, and the mist in the inner layer of the clothes will form steam under the heating of the nozzle panel, which can remove the dust and stains in the inner layer of the clothes, realizing self-cleaning of the clothes. Compared with the existing garment steamer that directly sprays steam onto the clothes, the iron of the embodiment has the effect of cleaning the clothes during ironing. At the same time, since the iron of the embodiment does not directly spray high-temperature steam onto the clothes, it will not cause shrinkage, knotting, lack of fluffiness, and other problems, and will not affect the quality and appearance of the clothes. In addition, the clothes ironed by the iron of the embodiment will not have wrinkles and will have good shaping effect.

[0028] In the embodiment, the heating device is a heating pipe, which is installed in the water tank. Of course, since the water tank is a metal heat-conducting member, the heating pipe can also be directly installed on the outer wall of the water tank. In addition, the heating device in the embodiment can not be limited to the heating pipe in the embodiment, but can also be other heating devices, such as electromagnetic heating.

[0029] It should be noted that since the temperature sensor and the control device that can control the opening and closing of the atomizing device are installed in the machine shell body, the temperature-adjustable iron of the embodiment can perform wet ironing when the temperature is lower than a certain set value, and the control device controls the atomizing device to be closed when the temperature is higher than the set value, so that the iron can perform dry ironing at this time, thereby realizing heating of the mist in the inner layer of the clothes into steam to remove the dust and stains in the inner layer of the clothes. Of course, in order to facilitate consumers to switch between dry ironing and wet ironing at will, a manual switch for controlling the opening and closing of the atomizing device can also be provided on the machine shell body. When the consumer needs dry ironing, the switch can be directly closed, and when the consumer needs wet ironing, the switch can be opened. It should be noted that for the embodiment, in order to facilitate the iron to be easily held and operated, the volume V of the water tank is generally selected to be 50mL-300mL.

[0030] It should be pointed out that the atomizing device is accommodated in the mounting cavity formed by the spray head panel, and a surrounding rib can be arranged on the inner side of the spray head panel and protrude towards the accommodating cavity. The mounting cavity is formed by the surrounding rib. As mentioned above, the mounting cavity is used not only for accommodating the atomizing device but also for guiding the atomized mist, which can be sprayed through the steam outlet. Therefore, a communication channel can be arranged between the atomizing device and the steam outlet to facilitate the spraying of the mist through the steam outlet. The two ends of the communication channel are connected to the atomizing device and the steam outlet, respectively. In this way, the atomized mist can be sprayed through the communication channel and the steam outlet.
