Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to a folding drying and ironing rack. Background Art

[0002] Clothes are prone to wrinkles after washing, storage and preservation. Therefore, in order to ensure the flatness of the clothes on the body, many users will iron the clothes. Among them, flat ironing of clothes is the most common ironing method. Before ironing, the operator needs to lay the clothes flat on the ironing board first, and then use the iron to directly contact the clothes to iron out the wrinkles on the clothes. In order to ensure the ironing effect, the ironing board generally has a flat surface to ensure the flatness of the clothes after ironing. However, this makes it impossible to effectively fix the clothes on the ironing board. During the ironing process, the movement of the iron may move the clothes, thereby affecting the ironing effect of the clothes.

[0003] In view of this, there are ironing tables on the market that can realize the functions of blowing and sucking air on the ironing board. Figure 1A As shown, an ironing table disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent document with the patent public number CN200964531Y is schematically shown. According to the record of the document, it includes a table plate 3, a base 2 is connected below the table plate 3, and a table cloth 4 is placed on the base 2. The table plate 3 is a porous plate 31 made of aluminum. With the holes 31, heat dissipation and ventilation can be achieved. An exhaust hole 22 is formed at the bottom of the base 2, and a forward and reverse fan 23 is installed in the exhaust hole 22. The fan sucks and blows air. The fan 23 is a forward and reverse fan, so the switch has a blowing gear, a wind-off gear, and a suction gear. The suction function allows the clothes to be completely dry, improves the ironing quality, prevents wrinkles, and makes ironing comfortable; the blowing function allows the clothes to be lifted by the air cushion blown up, and can iron straight and delicate fabrics. It can be understood that when the fan sucks air, the clothes placed on the table plate 3 will be adsorbed on the table plate 3 and fixed under the suction force of the air, so that they can also remain fixed when the iron moves, thereby improving the ironing quality. When the fan blows, the clothes can be stretched out, thereby preventing the clothes from being wrinkled after ironing.

[0004] However, since the exhaust hole 22 is arranged at the bottom of the base 2, when the fan 23 sucks air, the air will be blown out from the bottom of the base 2. At this time, the operator happens to be standing around the table 3 to perform ironing operations. The air blown out from the bottom of the base 2 will blow to the operator's legs and feet. In addition, during ironing, a high-temperature ironing plate and steam are used to press the clothes. The temperature of the blown air will also be high, which may easily cause discomfort to the operator. Figure 1BAs shown, when the fan 23 sucks air, the air around the table 3 flows up and down around the table 3, that is, the air blown out from the bottom of the table 2 will return to the top of the table 3 and be sucked into the table 3, thereby forming an air circulation around the table 3 up and down, which causes the operator standing around the table 3 to be often blown by the flowing hot air when the fan 23 is started. Similarly, when the fan 23 blows air, the air blown upward from the table 3 will also return to the exhaust hole 22 at the bottom of the table 2, which is easy to affect the operator standing around the table 3.

[0005] That is to say, when the existing ironing table with air blowing and suction function is activated, air circulation will be formed around the periphery of the ironing table, which will cause the operator standing around the ironing table to be blown by the air, which may easily cause discomfort to the operator.

[0055] Referring to the accompanying drawings of the present invention Figures 2 to 9 A foldable drying and ironing rack 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the foldable drying and ironing rack 100 has a blowing and suction function and can avoid generating an up-and-down circulating air flow, so as to reduce the impact on the operator when the blowing and suction function is turned on, thereby improving the ironing effect based on the blowing and suction function while also ensuring the operator's usage experience.

[0056] Specifically, the folding drying ironing rack 100 comprises a steaming rack 10, a flat ironing table 20 and a fan 30, wherein the steaming rack 10 has a bottom end 11 and a frame body 12 extending upward from the bottom end 11, wherein the flat ironing table 20 is pivotally mounted on the frame body 12 at one end thereof, so that the folding drying ironing rack 100 has an unfolded state in which the flat ironing table 20 is unfolded from the steaming rack 10, and a retracted state in which the flat ironing table 20 is folded on the steaming rack 10, wherein the end in which the flat ironing table 20 is pivotally mounted on the frame body 12 is the rear end 203 and the end opposite to the rear end 203 is the front end. End 202, specifically, wherein the ironing table 20 has a pivot shaft 201 arranged at the rear end 203, and is pivotally mounted on the frame 12 on the pivot shaft 201, wherein in the retracted state, the front end 202 is close to the bottom end 203, and in the unfolded state, the ironing table 20 is pivoted upward to make the front end 202 away from the bottom end 11, that is, in the retracted state, the direction of the front end 202 toward the rear end 203 is the same as the extension direction of the frame 12, and the folding drying and ironing rack 100 switches from the retracted state to the unfolded state by flipping the ironing table 20 upward. The ironing table 20 is defined as having an air cavity and an air outlet 23 connected to the air cavity, wherein the fan 30 is accommodated in the air cavity and forms air disturbance in the air cavity when turned on, thereby sucking air from the air outlet 23 and blowing it to the top of the ironing table 20 to form a blowing effect, or sucking air at the top of the ironing table 20 and blowing it out from the air outlet 23 to form a suction effect.

[0057] In particular, the air outlet 23 is arranged at the rear end 203 with its opening facing the same direction as the direction from the front end 202 to the rear end 203. When the blowing and suction function of the folding drying and ironing rack 100 is turned on, the air flow will be concentrated between the rear end 203 and the ironing rack 10 and above the flat ironing table 20, thereby avoiding the generation of air flow around the flat ironing table 20 up and down, so as to reduce the impact on the operator.

[0058] That is to say, when the blowing and suction function of the folding drying ironing rack 100 is turned on, the airflow is concentrated on the position of the hanging ironing rack 10, and during the ironing operation of the operator, due to the obstruction of the hanging ironing rack 10, the operator will not perform ironing operations at the rear end 203 of the flat ironing table 20. In this way, the design of the air outlet 23 based on the user's usage habits can effectively reduce the impact of the airflow on the operator.

[0059] Specific reference Figure 7As shown, when the folding drying ironing rack 100 turns on the air suction function, the fan 30 disturbs the air in the air cavity and blows it out toward the air outlet 23, and the air above the ironing table 20 is sucked into the air cavity. The air is blown out from the air outlet 23 and flows toward the ironing rack 10. Due to the pressure difference caused by the air above the ironing table 20 being sucked into the air cavity, the air flows toward the ironing table 20. Thus, the air circulation path is formed by sucking the ironing table 20 from top to bottom and then flowing from the front end 202 to the rear end. The air is blown out from the air outlet 23 toward the steaming rack 10 in the direction of 203, and then some air returns to the top of the ironing table 20 due to the pressure difference. Therefore, when the suction function is turned on, the air flow will not be concentrated below the ironing table 20, effectively reducing the probability of the air flow blowing onto the legs and feet of the operator, and the circulation path of the air flow is concentrated near the steaming rack 10. Under the operator's usage habits during ironing, the operator rarely faces the air outlet 23, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the air flow on the operator and preventing the operator from blocking the air flow.

[0060] Similarly, when the folding drying ironing rack 100 turns on the blowing function, the fan 30 disturbs the air and sucks air from the air outlet 23 and blows it above the ironing table 20. The air around the steaming rack 10 is sucked from the air outlet 23 to cause a pressure difference, and the air flows toward the steaming rack 10. Therefore, the air circulation path is formed in which the steaming rack 10 is sucked into the air cavity at the air outlet 23 and then blown out from the ironing table 20 from bottom to top. Then, some air returns to the steaming rack 10 under the action of the pressure difference. Therefore, when the blowing function is turned on, the airflow will not be concentrated below the ironing table 20, effectively reducing the probability of the airflow blowing onto the operator's legs and feet, and the circulation path of the airflow is concentrated near the steaming rack 10. Under the operator's habit of using the ironing process, the operator rarely faces the air outlet 23, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the airflow on the operator and preventing the operator from blocking the airflow.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that the opening direction of the air vent 23 is in the same direction as the direction from the front end 202 to the rear end 203, and based on the structural relationship that the front end 202 is closer to the bottom end 11 relative to the rear end 203 in the retracted state, corresponding to the retracted state, the opening direction of the air vent 23 will be in the same direction as the extension direction of the frame 12, that is, the air vent 23 has an up-down direction in the retracted state, then the corresponding reference Figure 8As shown, when clothes are hung on the frame 12, air flow can be blown out from the air outlet 23 based on activating the air suction function of the folding drying ironing frame 100, and the blowing direction of the air flow is the same as the extension direction of the frame 12, so that air flow can be formed to blow toward the clothes hung on the frame 12, which is beneficial to drying the clothes and meets the user's habit of hanging clothes for drying.

[0062] In particular, the folding drying ironing rack 100 further includes a heating element 24, wherein the heating element 24 is disposed at the air outlet 23, so that when the folding drying ironing rack 100 blows air from the air outlet 23, the corresponding airflow passes through the heating element 24 and is heated, thereby facilitating the folding drying ironing rack 100 to use hot air to dry the clothes hung on the ironing rack 10, and facilitating the evaporation of moisture in the clothes.

[0063] It is worth mentioning that the air outlet 23 is also provided with a grille to prevent dust and the like from entering the air cavity, wherein the heating element 24 is arranged on the grille.

[0064] Furthermore, the folding drying ironing rack 100 further includes a folding support frame 40, wherein the folding support frame 40 is pivotally connected to the ironing table 20 and / or the ironing rack 10, wherein in the unfolded state, the folding support frame 40 is unfolded to support the ironing table 20 to ensure the balance of the ironing table 20.

[0065] Further references Figures 4 to 5B Preferably, the fan 30 is implemented as a unidirectional fan and is pivotally arranged in the wind cavity, so that the wind direction is adjusted based on the pivoting of the fan 30 to form a blowing or suction effect. That is to say, in the present invention, the function of blowing or suction can be achieved by selecting an ordinary unidirectional fan, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the folding drying and ironing rack 100.

[0066] Specific combination Fig. 9 , wherein the ironing table 20 includes a ventilated ironing plate 21, and two middle ribs 213 extending downward from the ventilated ironing plate 21, wherein the two middle ribs 213 are parallel to each other and define a mounting groove 212 between the two middle ribs 213, wherein the fan 30 is pivotally mounted on the middle ribs 213 and is pivotally disposed in the air cavity.

[0067] In particular, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fan 30 is driven electrically to pivot, so that the operator can adjust the direction of the fan 30, wherein the folding, drying and ironing rack 100 further includes a motor 32, wherein the fan 30 is linked to the motor 32 to pivot relative to the ironing table 20 under the drive of the motor 32, thereby changing the direction of the fan 30 in the wind cavity, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the fan 30, so as to improve the operator's experience based on the drive of the motor 32.

[0068] In detail, the motor 32 includes a motor body 321 and a screw 322, wherein the motor body 321 is installed on the middle rib 213 and accommodated in the wind cavity, wherein the fan 30 includes a linkage rod 33, at least one fan unit 31 and a mounting shaft 301, wherein the linkage rod 33 is connected to the screw 322 in the radial direction of the screw 322, the fan unit 31 is connected to the linkage rod 33 and is pivotally mounted on the middle rib 213 on the mounting shaft 301, wherein the screw 322 is driven by the motor body 321 to extend and retract relative to the motor body 321 to drive the linkage rod 33 to move toward the axial direction of the screw 322, thereby pulling the fan unit 31 to pivot around the mounting shaft 301.

[0069] In particular, the motor 32 is accommodated in the mounting groove 212, wherein the fan 30 includes two fan parts 31, wherein the two fan parts 31 are pivotally mounted on the two middle ribs 213 on both sides of the mounting groove 212 with the mounting axis 301 as the axis, wherein the two ends of the linkage rod 33 are respectively connected to the two fan parts 31, so as to simultaneously link the two fan parts 31 to pivot relative to the ironing table 20 when the screw rod 322 is driven, so that the direction of the fan 30 is adjusted.

[0070] It is worth mentioning that in the present invention, the two middle ribs 213 are implemented as a double-layer plate, wherein the two plates close to each other of the two middle ribs 213 are inner plates, the installation slot 212 is defined between the two inner plates, and the folding support frame 40 is also arranged in the installation slot 212. On the one hand, the double-layer middle ribs 213 are conducive to improving the structural strength, and on the other hand, it can also improve the sealing degree of the air cavity when the folding support frame 40 is arranged, and ensure that the airflow can be sucked in or blown out from the breathable flat ironing table 21.
