[0047] The inventive concept of the present invention is further described below with reference to some specific embodiments.

[0048] The present invention provides an ironing device and method for clothing.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the ironing device for clothing of the present invention, Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the spray assembly 430 involved in the present invention.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a garment ironing device comprises a fixed frame 100, a cloth transmission mechanism 300, an ironing mechanism 400 and a monitoring unit 500, wherein the outer cloth drum 200 is detachably connected to the fixed frame 100 through a connecting assembly, the cloth transmission mechanism 300 is slidably arranged on the fixed frame 100, the cloth transmission mechanism 300 is pressed against the top of the cloth drum 200, the output end of the cloth transmission mechanism 300 is tightly arranged against the cloth 210 of the cloth drum 200, and is used to drive the cloth 210 to move back and forth between the initial position and the ironing position, the ironing mechanism 400 is rotatably arranged on the fixed frame 100, the ironing mechanism 400 and the cloth transmission mechanism 300 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the ironing mechanism 400 includes The ironing mechanism 400 includes a heating component 410, an extrusion component 420 and a spray component 430 that are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The extrusion component 420 is movably arranged on the fixing frame 100. The cloth 210 is arranged between the heating component 410 and the extrusion component 420. The spray component 430 is spaced apart on one side of the heating component 410. The spray end of the spray component 430 is arranged toward the cloth 210. The extrusion component 420 is used to squeeze the cloth 210 against the heating end of the heating component 410. The monitoring unit 500 is arranged on the fixing frame 100. The image acquisition end of the monitoring unit 500 is arranged above the cloth 210. The monitoring unit 500 is used to monitor the cloth 210 after being processed by the ironing mechanism 400.

[0051] It should be noted that the spreading mechanism 300 and the ironing mechanism 400 are arranged at intervals on the fixed frame 100 along the horizontal direction. After the fabric drum 200 with the fabric 210 wrapped therearound is detachably connected to the fixed frame 100 through a connecting assembly, the fabric drum 200 can rotate around its central axis.

[0052] It should be understood that after the fabric drum 200 is set on the fixed frame 100, one end of the fabric 210 wrapped on the fabric drum 200 is pulled out from the fabric drum 200 and connected to the output end of the roller mechanism. The roller mechanism is used to pull one end of the fabric 210 to assist the conveying mechanism 300 to drive the fabric 210 from the initial position to the ironing position.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, after the fabric 210 is arranged between the heating component 410 and the extrusion component 420, the distance between the heating component 410 and the extrusion component 420 is constant, that is, when the fabric 210 passes between the heating component 410 and the extrusion component 420, the fabric 210 can be heated by the heating component 410 and squeezed against the heating component 410 by the extrusion component 420 to eliminate wrinkles on the fabric 210.

[0054] As another optional embodiment, before the cloth 210 moves to the ironing position, the squeezing assembly 420 rises in the vertical direction along the fixed frame 100, and the output end of the transmission mechanism 300 rotates forward to drive the cloth drum 200 to rotate forward, and pushes the cloth 210 from the initial position to the ironing position. When the cloth moves to the ironing position, the squeezing assembly 420 descends in the vertical direction along the fixed frame 100 to squeeze the cloth 210 on the side of the heating assembly 410 facing the squeezing assembly 420, and irons and squeezes the cloth 210 to eliminate wrinkles.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, after the fabric drum 200 is mounted on the fixed frame 100, the fabric conveying mechanism 300 is pressed against the top of the fabric drum 200 under the action of its own weight. This increases the stability of the fabric drum 200 when the output end of the fabric conveying mechanism 300 drives the fabric 210 to reciprocate between the initial position and the ironing position. This prevents the fabric drum 200 from shaking when it is driven by the fabric 210 to rotate, which could cause the fabric 210 entering between the heating component 410 and the pressing component 420 to skew and form additional creases.

[0056] The output end of the transmission mechanism 300 rotates forward to drive the fabric drum 200 to rotate forward, pushing the fabric 210 from the initial position to the ironing position. When the fabric 210 enters between the heating component 410 and the pressing component 420, the fabric 210 is in the ironing position. In order to allow the heating component 410 to heat the fabric 210 in the ironing position and facilitate the pressing component 420 to flatten the heated fabric 210 to eliminate wrinkles on the fabric 210, the spray component 430 sprays spray toward the fabric 210 in the ironing position as the pressing component 420 descends vertically along the fixing frame 100 to press the fabric 210.

[0057] When the squeezing assembly 420 squeezes the cloth 210 at the ironing position, the cloth 210 is pulled out from between the squeezing assembly 420 and the heating assembly and exposed below the image acquisition end of the monitoring unit 500 to confirm whether the cloth 210 processed by the ironing mechanism 400 still has wrinkles. If so, the output end of the transmission mechanism 300 is reversed to drive the cloth drum 200 to reverse, and the cloth 210 is pulled back from the ironing position to the initial position, so that the squeezing assembly 420 and the heating assembly 410 are used again to iron and squeeze the wrinkles on the cloth 210.

[0058] The technical solution of the present invention drives the cloth 210 to move back and forth between the initial position and the ironing position through the transmission mechanism 300, so that the extrusion component 420 and the heating component 410 squeeze and iron the cloth 210 to eliminate wrinkles on the cloth 210, and confirms the wrinkle elimination status of the cloth 210 through the monitoring unit 500 to ensure that the wrinkles on the cloth 210 are effectively eliminated, thereby improving the ironing efficiency of the cloth 210 and reducing the risk of workers being burned during the ironing process of the cloth 210. It is more suitable for the industrialized clothing production model.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the heating component 410 and the extrusion component 420 involved in the present invention.

[0060] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the reciprocating movement of the cloth 210 between the initial position and the ironing position, the heating component 410 includes a mounting cylinder 411, a heating element and a connecting shaft 412. The connecting shaft 412 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 100. The mounting cylinder 411 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 412. A plurality of mounting cavities 413 are formed on the mounting cylinder 411. The plurality of mounting cavities 413 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting cylinder 411. A heating element is arranged in each mounting cavity 413. The heating element is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 413. The connecting shaft 412 is coaxially arranged with the mounting cylinder 411.

[0061] It should be noted that when the cloth 210 moves back and forth between the initial position and the ironing position, the cloth 210 rubs against the outer wall of the installation cylinder 411 to drive the installation cylinder 411 to rotate.

[0062] It should be understood that in order to enable the mounting cylinder 411 to have the ability to generate heat so as to iron the cloth 210, a plurality of mounting cavities 413 each accommodating a heating element are formed on the mounting cylinder 411, and in order to ensure that the mounting cylinder 411 is heated evenly and can heat up quickly, the plurality of heating elements are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting cylinder 411.

[0063] It is worth noting that the heating element is existing technology such as heating wire, electric heater, etc.

[0064] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 300 includes a pressing plate 310, a mounting frame 320, a transmission assembly 330 and a rotating drive member 340. The pressing plate 310 is slidably arranged on the fixing frame 100. The pressing plate 310 is pressed on the top of the fabric drum 200. One end of the mounting frame 320 is hinged to the top of the pressing plate 310. The other end of the mounting frame 320 is rotatably connected to the fabric 210 assembly. The transmission assembly 330 is tightly arranged against the fabric 210. The rotating drive member 340 is arranged on the mounting frame 320. The output end of the rotating drive member 340 is connected to the transmission assembly 330, which is used to drive the fabric 210 assembly to rotate forward or reverse, and correspondingly make the fabric 210 move back and forth between the ironing position and the initial position.

[0065] It should be noted that in order to prevent the distributing cylinder 200 from shaking, the pressure plate 310 is pressed on the top of the distributing cylinder 200 under the action of its own weight, and arc plates are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the pressure plate 310, and the arc plates have a curvature adapted to the distributing cylinder 200.

[0066] It should be understood that in order to enable the transmission component 330 to be pressed against the cloth 210 in real time, the transmission component 330 is hinged to the top of the pressure plate 310 through the L-shaped mounting frame 320. When the cloth 210 wrapped around the cloth drum 200 is consumed, the transmission component 330 drives the mounting frame 320 to rotate downward along the hinge between it and the pressure plate 310 under the action of gravity, so that the transmission component 330 can remain pressed against the cloth 210 wrapped around the cloth drum 200, so as to drive the cloth 210 component to rotate forward or reverse through the output end of the rotating drive member 340, and accordingly make the cloth 210 move back and forth between the ironing position and the initial position to iron the cloth 210.

[0067] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of the dissemination component 330 according to the present invention.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 330 includes a roller 331 and a rotating shaft 332. The rotating shaft 332 is spaced apart on one side of the fabric drum 200, and the rotating shaft 332 extends in the same direction as the fabric drum 200. The roller 331 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 332, and the roller 331 is pressed against one side of the fabric 210. The output end of the rotating drive member 340 is connected to the rotating shaft 332, and is used to drive the rotating shaft 332 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the roller 331 rotates forward or reverse to correspondingly drive the fabric 210 to move back and forth between the ironing position and the initial position.

[0069] It should be noted that, in order to increase the friction between the roller 331 and the cloth 210 , the surface of the roller 331 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0070] It should be understood that the rotary driving member 340 is a motor or other existing technology.

[0071] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural stability of the pressure plate 310, when the cloth 210 wound on the cloth drum 200 is consumed, that is, when the overall diameter of the cloth drum 200 is reduced, the movement of the pressure plate 310 generated by the action of gravity is guided, and a first guide groove 110 extending in the vertical direction is formed on the fixed frame 100, and a guide block is provided on the pressure plate 310. The guide block is arranged in the first guide groove 110 and slides with the inner wall of the first guide groove 110.

[0072] Furthermore, a second guide groove 120 extending in a vertical direction is formed on the fixed frame 100; the extrusion assembly 420 includes a pressure roller 421, a mounting shaft 422 and a lifting drive member 423, the mounting shaft 422 is rotatably arranged in the second guide groove 120, the pressure roller 421 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 422, the pressure roller 421 is arranged above the heating component 410, and the lifting drive member 423 is arranged on the fixed frame 100, and the output shaft of the lifting drive member 423 is connected to the mounting shaft 422, for driving the mounting shaft 422 to rise and fall along the second guide shaft, so as to drive the pressure roller 421 to move between an extrusion position close to the heating component 410 and a release position away from the heating component 410.

[0073] It should be noted that a rubber sleeve is provided on the surface of the pressure roller 421 to prevent a rigid collision between the pressure roller 421 and the mounting cylinder 411 , thereby extending the service life of the mounting cylinder 411 and the pressure roller 421 .

[0074] It should be understood that the lifting drive member 423 is a piston cylinder or an electric telescopic rod or other existing technologies.

[0075] Furthermore, to ensure that the cloth 210 in the ironing position can be wetted quickly and evenly, the spray assembly 430 includes a cross bar 431 and a plurality of spray heads 432. The cross bar 431 is arranged on the fixed frame 100, and the plurality of spray heads 432 are arranged on the cross bar 431 at intervals along the extension direction of the cross bar 431. The plurality of spray heads 432 are all connected to an external water supply device through a water pipe.

[0076] It should be noted that the spray head 432 is a prior art.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the monitoring unit 500 involved in the present invention.

[0078] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the monitoring unit 500 includes an image acquisition module 510, an image recognition module 520 and a control module 530. The image acquisition module 510 is electrically connected to the image recognition module 520. The image recognition module 520 and the control end of the transmission mechanism 300 are both electrically connected to the control module 530. The image acquisition module 510 is used to acquire an image of the fabric 210 after being processed by the ironing mechanism 400. The image recognition module 520 is used to receive the image of the fabric 210 and identify feature information in the image of the fabric 210. The control module 530 controls the output end of the transmission mechanism 300 to rotate forward or reverse according to the feature information, so as to correspondingly drive the fabric 210 to move back and forth between the ironing position and the initial position.

[0079] It should be noted that the image acquisition module 510, the image recognition module 520 and the control module 530 are all existing technologies, and the characteristic information in the image refers to folds or wrinkles.

[0080] It should be understood that the invention of this embodiment does not lie in circuit logic, circuit elements or circuit structure, but in using the image acquisition module 510, the image recognition module 520 and the control module 530 to monitor the wrinkles on the fabric 210, and to determine whether it is necessary to rotate forward or reverse through the output end of the transmission mechanism 300 to correspondingly drive the fabric 210 to move back and forth between the ironing position and the initial position, and to squeeze and iron the fabric 210 again to ensure the squeezing and ironing effect of the fabric 210.

[0081] It is worth noting that in addition to using the control module 530 and the image recognition module 520, the image of the fabric 210 processed by the ironing mechanism 400 and captured by the image acquisition module 510 can also be directly viewed by humans or AI trained by humans to intuitively judge whether there are creases on the fabric 210 from a visual perspective.
