[0002] A steam ironing device generates water vapor to continuously contact clothes, softening the clothes while ironing them. In a steam ironing device, a water tank needs to be carried to provide a water source for steam ironing.

[0003] In order to facilitate users' ironing, more and more handheld ironing devices have emerged on the market. The handheld ironing device is used for hanging ironing of hanging clothes. At the same time, in the existing ironing devices, by adding a blower and an air inlet, the clothes are adsorbed, so that when the handheld ironing device is used for hanging ironing of clothes, it is not necessary for the user to hold the clothes by hand. The adsorption function is used to adsorb the clothes while ironing them.

[0004] Therefore, the handheld steam ironing device has both a waterway structure for realizing steam ironing and an air duct structure for realizing adsorption of clothes. Usually, a pistol-type handheld hanging ironing machine is used on the market, and the water tank or the blower is arranged in the handle part, or the water tank or the blower is arranged in the ironing part for ironing clothes. However, no matter which method is used, the weight of the handle part or the ironing part will be relatively large, which is not convenient for the user to control the ironing direction.

[0005] Moreover, the waterway structure and the air duct structure in the prior art both exist in the ironing part at the same time, and it is very difficult to completely separate the waterway structure from the air duct structure, which affects the service life of the blower.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the waterway structure and the air duct structure in the ironing device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Next, the present invention will be further described in combination with the drawings and the specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following described embodiments or technical features can be combined arbitrarily to form new embodiments.

[0038] As Figures 1-6 shown, a waterway structure of a handheld ironing device with an adsorption function includes a waterway structure, and a suction component is provided on one side of the waterway structure.

[0039] The waterway structure is used to transfer liquid into the steam generating device 22 in the ironing part 20, so that the steam generating device 22 heats the liquid and sprays it from the ironing board 21 of the ironing part 20 to form water vapor.

[0040] Specifically, the waterway structure includes a water delivery pipeline 31 and a water pump 32. The water delivery pipeline 31 is located inside the handle portion 30, and the water pump 32 is connected to the water delivery pipeline 31. The water delivery pipeline 31 communicates with the small water tank 120. The water pump 32 is located at the top of the handle portion 30 or at the top of the ironing portion 20. The water pump 32 is connected to the steam generating device 22 inside the ironing portion 20 through a sealed water delivery pipeline or directly. Under the action of the water pump 32, the water delivery pipeline 31 transports the liquid in the small water tank 120 located inside the base 10 to the steam generating device 22 located in the ironing portion 20 through the top of the ironing portion. Specifically, the water inlet of the steam generating device 22 is located at the top of the ironing portion 20, facing the water pump 32. The water delivery pipeline 31 transports the liquid in the small water tank 120 to the top of the ironing portion 20 and enters the steam generating device 22 through the water inlet of the steam generating device 22.

[0041] The waterway structure further includes a small water tank 120. The small water tank 120 is located inside the base 10, and a certain amount of liquid can be stored in the small water tank 120. The small water tank 120 is arranged inside the base 10. On the one hand, it can reduce the weight of the ironing portion 20 and the handle portion 30, avoid the ironing device being top-heavy and bottom-light, and facilitate the user to change the ironing direction of the ironing device. On the other hand, it is convenient for the base 10 to stand on a plane and for the water replenishing tank to supply water to the small water tank 120.

[0042] The air suction component is isolated from the handle portion. The air suction component sucks external air from the bottom of the ironing portion 20 and discharges it from the base 10 or the outer housing 100 of the base 10.

[0043] The air suction component includes an air suction port 2121 located at the bottom of the ironing portion, an air suction fan 113, an air suction pipeline 111 for connecting the air suction port 2121 and the air suction fan 113, and an exhaust pipeline 114. Among them, the air suction pipeline 111 is located below the ironing portion 20 and is flush with the air suction port 2121. The air suction component further includes a filter element 112. The filter element 112 is located between the air suction fan 113 and the air suction pipeline 111. A filter element is provided inside the filter element 112, and the filter element 112 is used for filtering gas.

[0044] The air suction port 2121 is located at the bottom of the ironing board. The ironing board is located in the ironing portion, that is, the air suction port 2121 is located at the bottom of the ironing portion, and the air suction port 2121 is isolated from the water outlet 2111. The air suction port 2121 is located in the direction away from the water pump 32.

[0045] The air suction pipeline 111 is located below the ironing portion 20 and is flush with the air suction port 2121; the air suction pipeline 111 is used for connecting the air suction port 2121 and the air suction fan 113.

[0046] One end of the air suction duct 111 is flush with the air suction port 2121. The two ends of the air suction duct 111 are respectively communicated with the air suction port 2121 and the filter element 112. The air suction duct 111 is linear and is located below the ironing part 20 in the vertical ironing device. The air suction duct 111 is a flexible hose. Sealing members are also provided at both ends of the air suction duct 111, and the sealing members can be sealing rubbers, etc.

[0047] The air suction fan 113 and the exhaust duct 114 are located below the handle part 30 and are isolated from the handle part 30. Preferably, the air suction duct 111 is located inside the housing of the base 10, and the filter element 112, the air suction fan 113 and the exhaust duct 114 are located in the base 10, or the filter element 112, the air suction fan 113 and the exhaust duct 114 are located inside the housing 100 of the base 10.

[0048] The air suction fan 113 sucks external air from the air suction port 2121, and after being filtered by the filter element 112 in the air suction duct 111, under the action of the air suction fan 113, it is discharged from the exhaust duct 114, so as to generate an adsorption force on the clothes at the air suction port 2121.

[0049] For the convenience of understanding, the ironing part 20 and the base 10 are described here.

[0050] The ironing part 20 includes an ironing board 21 and a steam generating device 22. The ironing board 21 includes a top end face 211 and a bottom end face 212. The top end face 211 and the bottom end face 212 form an integral ironing board 21 for ironing clothes. The top end face 211 is located at the top of the ironing part 20, and the bottom end face 212 is located at the bottom of the ironing part 20. During the hanging ironing use process and the placement process of the handheld ironing device, the top end face 211 is located above the bottom end face 212.

[0051] The air suction port 2121 in the air suction assembly is located at the bottom end face 212 for adsorbing clothes. A water outlet 2111 is provided on the top end face 211, and the liquid transmitted to the top of the ironing part through the waterway structure is sprayed out from the water outlet 2111 after being heated by the steam generating device 22 to achieve steam ironing.

[0052] Preferably, the number of the air suction ports 2121 is several, and they are distributed in an arc shape below the water outlet 2111. The several air suction ports 2121 converge to a connection port 2122, and the connection port 2122 is hermetically communicated with the air suction duct 111. Preferably, the bottom end face 212 is curved relative to the top end face 211, which can avoid buttons on the clothes, etc. The air suction port 2121 is located on the curved bottom end face 212 to avoid damaging the clothes due to excessive suction.

[0053] When the handheld ironing device is used for hanging ironing, the base 10 is located below the ironing part 20 and the handle part 30. The base 10 houses the suction fan 113 and the small water tank 120, concentrating the weight within the base 10. When the handheld ironing device is used for handheld hanging ironing, it is convenient for the user to change the ironing direction. If the suction fan 113 is arranged within the ironing part 20 or the handle part 30, when the user holds the handle part 30 and changes the direction, the wrist requires greater force.

[0054] The base 10 is used to stand on a plane when the vertical ironing device is in a non-use state. The suction fan 113 is located below the handle part 30. The suction fan 113 and the steam generating device are in a balanced state, facilitating the standing of the base 10 of the handheld ironing device.

[0055] The outer part of the base 10 is provided with an outer housing 100. Preferably, the outer housing 100 of the base 10 wraps the base 10 and can also wrap the handle part 30, etc.

[0056] The base 10 is provided with a flush area 101 that is flush with the bottom end face 212. The suction fan 113 is located within the flush area 101. In this embodiment, the flush area 101 can be a part of the base 10. In other embodiments, the flush area 101 can also be an external area of the base 10. The suction fan 113 being located within the flush area 101 can be understood as the suction fan 113 can be installed within the base 10 or on the outside of the base 10.

[0057] The outer housing 100 of the base is provided with a coincident part that is flush with the bottom end face 212. The coincident part wraps the flush area 101. The suction duct 111 is located within the coincident part of the outer housing 100. The coincident part, as a part of the outer housing 100, is not marked in the figure. It can be understood that the coincident part is the part of the outer housing 100 that is opposite to the position of the bottom end face 212. At the position of the coincident part on the outer housing 100, there is a mounting end connected to the bottom end face 212, and the bottom end face 212 is connected to the mounting end on the coincident part. The suction duct 111 being located within the coincident part of the outer housing 100 can be understood as the suction duct 111 is located inside the coincident part of the outer housing 100. The suction duct 111 can be a part of the base 10 or a structure outside the base 10, and is used to connect the suction port 2121 and the filter element 112.

[0058] To avoid the excessive weight of the ironing part of the handheld ironing device, which is inconvenient for the user to change the direction during hanging ironing. In the present invention, the suction fan 113 is arranged in the flush area of the base 10. And the suction port 2121 must be arranged on the ironing board 21 of the ironing part 20. The suction duct 111 connects the suction port 2121 located on the ironing part 20 with the suction fan 113 located inside the housing of the base 10. A conventional suction channel can connect the two through a bent duct, but the bent duct will increase the length and resistance of the suction channel, affecting the effect of clothing adsorption and the efficiency of the suction fan 113.

[0059] In the present invention, by arranging the suction port 2121 on the bottom end surface 212 of the ironing board 21, arranging the suction duct 111 in the housing 100 at the position corresponding to the bottom end surface 212, and arranging the suction fan 113 in the flush area 101 flush with the bottom end surface 212, the suction port 2121, the suction duct 111 and the suction fan 113 are flush, so that the channel formed among the three is substantially straight without bending, improving the efficiency of the suction fan 113.

[0060] In addition, the air inlet of the fan of the suction fan 113 faces the suction port 2121 to avoid bending of the suction duct 111, and the air outlet of the fan of the suction fan 113 is located below the handle part 30. The air outlet of the fan of the suction fan 113 is connected to the exhaust duct 114, and the exhaust port of the exhaust duct 114 faces away from the handle part 30. The exhaust duct 114 is located inside the base 10 or the exhaust duct 114 is located inside the housing 100 of the base. Refer to Figure 5 , the exhaust port of the exhaust duct faces Figure 5 downward in

[0061] That is, in the direction away from the handle part 30, so as to avoid the gas discharged from the exhaust duct from contacting the user and improve the user experience.

[0062] The base 10 further includes an inner housing 110. The small water tank 120 is located inside the inner housing 110. A fan accommodation part for accommodating the suction fan 113 is provided on the outer surface of the inner housing 110.

[0062] At the same time, the filter element 112 can be arranged in the overlapping part of the housing 100 or can be arranged in the flush area 101 of the base 10. In this embodiment, the filter element 112 is specifically located inside the inner housing 110, and the filter element 113 is detachably installed on the small water tank.

[0063] Specifically, the filter element 112 is inserted into the small water tank 120. The small water tank 120 is detachably installed inside the inner housing 110 of the base 10. When the filter element or the filter element 112 needs to be replaced, the small water tank 120 and the filter element as a whole are removed from the inner housing 110 of the base 10, and then the filter element 112 is removed. In other embodiments, the filter element 112 can be directly detachably installed inside the inner housing 110 of the base 10 (not shown in the figure). The detachable installation method is plugging, etc. When the filter element or the filter element 112 needs to be replaced, the filter element 112 is directly removed.

[0064] The filter element 112 is provided with a filter inlet 1121 and a filter outlet 1122. The filter inlet 1121 and the filter outlet 1122 are located on opposite side surfaces of the filter element. Preferably, the filter inlet 1121 and the filter outlet 1122 are flush. After the air suction pipe 111 is installed on the filter element 112, after the external gas is sucked in from the air suction port 2121, it enters the filter element 112 from the air suction pipe 111 and is discharged from the air suction fan 113. The gas path is generally linear. A filter element is provided inside the filter element 112, which can prevent impurities from entering the air suction fan 113 and extend the service life of the air suction fan 113.

[0065] In the present invention, the filter element 112 is located below the ironing part 20. The two ends of the air suction pipe 111 are respectively communicated with the air suction port and the filter inlet 1121. The filter element 112 is directly communicated with the air suction fan 113. There is no other structure between the air suction port 2121, the air suction pipe 111, the filter element 112 and the air suction fan 113, so that the length of the air suction channel is short and generally linear, and the efficiency is high.

[0066] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a hand-held ironing device, including an ironing part and a handle part, further including a base, and further including the water path structure of the hand-held ironing device with an adsorption function as described in any one of the above. At least one end of the handle part 30 is connected to the ironing part 20.

[0067] In the present invention, the water path structure transports the liquid in the base 10 to the top of the ironing part 20 through the handle part 30; the air suction assembly sucks the external air from the bottom of the ironing part 20 into the base 10 or the outer housing 100 of the base and then discharges it, so that there is no intersection between the water path structure and the air suction assembly.

[0068] In the present invention, only the water delivery pipeline 31 in the water path structure is arranged in the handle part, which reduces the weight of the handle part and at the same time reduces the volume of the handle part, facilitating the user to hold; the air suction fan 113 in the air suction assembly and the small water tank 120 in the water path structure are located in the base 10, reducing the weight of the ironing part 20 and facilitating the user to change the direction of the ironing device when using it for hand-held ironing; and the air suction port 2121, the air suction pipe 111 and the air suction fan 113 are relatively arranged, increasing the air suction efficiency of the air suction fan.

[0069] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not impose any formal restrictions on the present invention. Any ordinary technician in the industry can smoothly implement the present invention according to the illustrations in the specification and the above content. However, any equivalent changes such as slight modifications, decorations, and evolutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention by using the technical content disclosed above are equivalent embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications, and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
