DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0048] A clothing support and care device, a clothing care machine and a clothing care method according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] This embodiment provides a clothing support and care device, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, it is used for a clothing care machine, and the clothing care machine includes an ironing board 700 that can move up and down, including:

[0051] A hanger 300, which is arranged in the clothing care machine and is used to hang and support clothing;

[0052] The support assembly 400 is arranged on the lower side of the hanger 300. The support assembly 400 includes a support plate structure 410 that can be extended up and down. The support plate structure 410 is used to extend into the clothes to be ironed, cooperate with the ironing board 700 to clamp the clothes, and move synchronously with the ironing board 700 during the ironing process.

[0053] In the prior art, when ironing clothes with the ironing board 700, it is necessary to use manpower to pull and fix the clothes, or to set the clothes close to a larger plane in order to obtain a good ironing effect. In this case, when pulling and fixing, the area near the pulling position cannot be ironed, so it is necessary to constantly change the pulling position in order to iron the clothes in full. When setting close to the plane, on the one hand, a larger plane needs to be set, which takes up a larger space. On the other hand, only one side of the clothes can be ironed at a time. After ironing, it needs to be turned over and set close to the plane again. The whole process is troublesome and laborious, and takes up a lot of time of the user. In this embodiment, by The telescopic support plate structure 410 is set up, when it is necessary to iron clothes, the clothes are hung on the hanger 300, and then the support plate structure 410 is extended toward the clothes, so that it enters the inside of the clothes from the bottom side of the clothes, and cooperates with the ironing board 700 outside the clothes to clamp the clothes. Then, during the ironing process, the support plate structure 410 moves synchronously with the ironing board 700, so that the ironing part of the ironing board 700 is always in a supported and clamped state during ironing. The entire ironing process does not require human participation, thereby realizing fully automatic ironing of clothes, significantly saving manpower, shortening ironing time, and improving user experience.

[0054] As one of the optional examples, the clothing support and care device also includes a vertical rail 200, and the support assembly 400 is movably arranged on the vertical rail 200. It should be understood that in order to facilitate the hanging of clothes of different sizes, a large distance needs to be set between the hanger 300 and the support assembly 400. It may not be possible to get close to the hanger 300 only by the extension and contraction of the support plate structure 410, resulting in a part of the clothes being unable to be clamped, which seriously affects the ironing effect of the clothes. The vertical rail 200 and the support assembly 400 can be moved up and down, so that the support assembly 400 can be closer to the hanger 300, so that the support plate structure 410 can be smoothly attached to the hanger 300, and the clothes can be clamped and ironed from top to bottom, which significantly improves the ironing effect of the clothes. Optionally, the range of the up and down movement of the support assembly 400 is between below the hanger 300 and the bottom surface of the inner tank of the clothing care machine.

[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 400 further includes a telescopic assembly 420, a support seat 430 and a lifting assembly 440. The telescopic assembly 420 is used to drive the support plate structure 410 to extend or retract. The upper end of the telescopic assembly 420 is connected to the support plate structure 410, and the lower end of the telescopic assembly 420 is arranged on the support seat 430. The lifting assembly 440 is fixedly connected to the support seat 430, and the lifting assembly 440 is movably connected to the vertical rail 200, and is used to drive the support assembly 400 to move up and down on the vertical rail 200. Through the above arrangement, the support assembly 400 can move up and down on the vertical rail 200, and the support plate structure 410 can extend or retract relative to the support seat 430, which significantly increases the moving range of the support plate structure 410, making it suitable for ironing and caring for clothes of different sizes.

[0056] As one of the optional embodiments, Figure 8As shown, the telescopic assembly 420 includes a first driving device 421, a screw rod 422 and a telescopic frame 423. The first driving device 421 is used to drive the screw rod 422 to rotate. The telescopic frame 423 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 422, and the telescopic frame 423 is driven to extend or retract by the rotation of the screw rod 422. Through the above arrangement, the support plate structure 410 can be driven to extend upward and enter the inside of the clothes to be ironed to form a clamp with the ironing board 700, thereby realizing the automatic clamping and support ironing of the clothes. After the ironing is completed, the support plate structure 410 is driven to retract into the inside of the support seat 430 by the telescopic frame 423, which can reduce the space occupied by the support assembly 400 on the one hand, and facilitate users to take or hang clothes on the other hand. The specific structure and movement principle of the telescopic frame 423 can refer to the existing technology, which will not be limited or repeated here. It can be understood that the first driving device 421 can be a motor. In addition, the telescopic component 420 may also be a synchronous belt or a connecting rod structure. For details, reference may be made to the devices in the prior art that achieve telescopic movement through synchronous belts or connecting rod structures, which will not be limited or elaborated herein.

[0057] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the lifting assembly 440 includes a second driving device 441, a gear structure, a rack 444 and a guide assembly 445. The second driving device 441 is used to drive the gear structure to rotate, the gear structure is meshed with the rack 444, the rack 444 is fixedly arranged on the vertical rail 200, and the guide assembly 445 is arranged between the support seat 430 and the vertical rail 200, and is used to define the lifting path of the support seat 430. As one of the optional examples, the gear structure includes a driving gear 442 and a driven gear 443, the driving gear 442 is connected to the output shaft of the second driving device 441, the driving gear 442 is meshed with the driven gear 443, and the driven gear 443 is also meshed with the rack 444. Under the action of the second driving device 441, the output shaft drives the driving gear 442 to rotate, and the driving gear 442 drives the driven gear 443 to rotate, so that the support seat 430 is lifted and lowered along the extension direction of the rack 444, and the lifting and lowering of the support assembly 400 is realized. It should be noted that the guide assembly 445 can be a guide structure in which a guide groove and a boss cooperate, or other structures capable of realizing movement and guidance. The above-mentioned structure can realize the up and down movement of the support assembly 400, and the guide assembly 445 can limit the front and rear positions of the support assembly 400 to prevent it from deflecting during the lifting process.

[0058] As one of the preferred embodiments, Figure 6As shown, retractable transverse support parts 413 are provided on the left and right sides of the support plate structure 410. The transverse support parts 413 are used to support the left and right sides of the clothes to accommodate clothes of different sizes and ensure the supporting effect; the retractable setting of the transverse support parts 413 can reduce the length of the support plate structure 410 in the left and right directions so that it can extend into the inside of the clothes. The transverse support parts 413 can be extended and retracted by a mechanical retractable structure, or can be an airbag structure, which can achieve transverse support for the clothes by extending and deflated by inflation.

[0059] As an example of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the support plate structure 410 is a foldable structure so as to be inserted into the clothes to be ironed. It should be understood that since the support plate structure 410 is used to support and clamp the clothes, in order to ensure the range of support and clamping, its length in the left and right directions should be equivalent to the width of the clothes. Therefore, when the support plate structure 410 is inserted into the clothes from the opening of the bottom hem of the clothes, it is easy to have the problem that the support plate structure 410 is too long and difficult to insert, resulting in failure of automatic care of the clothes. In this embodiment, the support plate structure 410 can be folded vertically, so that the support plate structure 410 changes from a state of extending left and right to a state of extending up and down. At this time, the length of the support plate structure 410 in the left and right directions is significantly reduced, while its size in the front and back directions does not change, so that it is smoother when it is inserted into the clothes to be washed and cared for. After inserting into the clothes, the support plate structure 410 is unfolded to form a state of extending left and right, ensuring the effect of supporting and clamping the clothes, and significantly improving the success rate of supporting and clamping. As one of the optional embodiments, the support plate structure 410 includes a first support plate 411 and a second support plate 412, and the first support plate 411 and the second support plate 412 can be relatively rotated and folded. When folding, the first support plate 411 and the second support plate 412 rotate in opposite directions, so that after rotating 90°, the first support plate 411 and the second support plate 412 are close to each other, and it is convenient to extend the support plate structure 410 into the interior of the clothing. When reaching the predetermined position, the first support plate 411 and the second support plate 412 change direction at the same time and continue to rotate in opposite directions. After rotating 90°, the support plate structure 410 is unfolded. At this time, the ironing board 700 can be used to clamp, support and iron the clothing, which is simple and convenient.

[0060] As one of the preferred embodiments, the clothing support and care device also includes an air blowing structure (not shown in the drawings), which is used to blow air into the inside of the clothing so that the hem of the clothing can be opened, so that the support plate structure 410 can be inserted into the inside of the clothing. It should be understood that the support plate structure 410 is used to support the inside of the clothing, so its thickness is close to the distance between the front and rear sides of the clothing when it is hung on the hanger 300. In this case, when the support plate structure 410 extends toward the clothing, it is easy to interfere in the front and rear directions, resulting in failure to insert. The setting of the air blowing structure can make the hem of the clothing stretch and open under the action of wind force, effectively avoiding interference between the support plate structure 410 and the clothing in the front and rear directions, thereby effectively improving the success rate of the support plate structure 410 inserting into the clothing, so as to facilitate the smooth clamping, support and ironing of the clothing. In some optional examples, the air blowing structure is arranged in conjunction with the foldable structure of the support plate structure 410, which can further improve the success rate of the support plate structure 410 inserting into the clothing. Optionally, the blowing structure is a fan, and the fan can be set on the hanger 300, or can be set at other positions that can blow air to the hem of the clothes so as to open them, which is not limited here.

[0061] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the hanger 300 is escalably arranged on the hanger rail 500. This arrangement facilitates changing the distance between the hanger 300 and the support assembly 400, increasing the distance between the two when the clothes are taken or hung, and reducing the distance between the two when the clothes are clamped or ironed, or when the clothes are clamped and ironed, the hanger 300 moves upward to ensure that the clothes to be ironed are supported in place, avoiding the problem that the clothes are not supported tightly due to the short connection distance, which affects the ironing effect.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the hanger 300 is detachably arranged on the hanger rail 500. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient for the user to remove the hanger 300 and then take or hang the clothes.

[0063] In this embodiment, a plurality of clamping structures (not shown in the drawings) are also provided on the support seat 430, and the clamping structures are used to clamp and fix the lower part of the clothing. It should be understood that in the clothing support and care device provided in this embodiment, the support plate structure 410 cannot support and fix the sleeves, nor can it support clothing such as trousers. In this case, the clamping structure can be used to clamp the sleeves or the lower part of the trouser legs, improve the fixing effect of the top or clamp the trousers, so as to facilitate their ironing and care. It should be noted that when ironing and caring for the trousers, the support plate structure 410 retracts in the support seat 430, and the support seat 430 rises and moves to the bottom of the trouser legs. The trouser legs are clamped and fixed by the clamping structure, and can be used for the ironing and care of the trousers. In some optional examples, the clamping structure is a clip or other structure with a clamping function, which is not limited or repeated here.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] This embodiment provides a clothing care machine, including the clothing support and care device as described in Embodiment 1.

[0066] The advantages of the clothing care machine and the above-mentioned clothing support and care device over the prior art are the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] As one example, Figure 6 As shown, the ironing board 700 is arranged on the horizontal rail 800 so as to be movable forward and backward, the horizontal rail 800 is arranged on the vertical rail 200 so as to be movable up and down, the support assembly 400 is arranged on the vertical rail 200 so as to be movable up and down, the horizontal rail 800 and the support assembly 400 share one vertical rail 200, or the horizontal rail 800 and the support assembly 400 are arranged on one vertical rail 200 respectively. In this arrangement, the horizontal rail 800 can drive the ironing board 700 to approach or move away from the clothes to be ironed, so as to cooperate with the support assembly 400 to clamp the clothes during ironing, and when the ironing is completed, the ironing board 700 is driven away from the clothes to be ironed, so as to facilitate the removal of the clothes. When only one vertical rail 200 is provided, the horizontal rail 800 is arranged on the upper side of the support assembly 400, and the clothing care machine at this time can save the cost and space occupation of one vertical rail 200. When the horizontal rail 800 and the supporting assembly 400 are respectively disposed on one vertical rail 200 , two vertical rails 200 need to be disposed, and the two vertical rails 200 are disposed oppositely on the left and right sides of the hanger 300 .

[0068] As an optional embodiment, there is one ironing board 700, and the one ironing board 700 can be turned back and forth or the front and rear sides of the ironing board 700 can be ironed independently, or there are two ironing boards 700, and the two ironing boards 700 move synchronously relative to each other in the front and rear directions. By setting one ironing board 700, only one ironing board 700 is needed to iron both sides of the clothes. When the ironing board 700 is at the front side of the clothes to be ironed, its ironing surface is turned backward, or the ironing surface at the rear side is opened. When the ironing board 700 is at the rear side of the clothes to be ironed, its ironing surface is turned forward, or the ironing surface at the front side is opened, which can realize smooth ironing of the clothes and save the cost of setting one ironing board 700. The ironing surface refers to the side of the ironing board 700 with a spray hole, and the clothes are ironed by spraying steam through the spray hole. The synchronous relative motion means that the two ironing boards 700 move synchronously in opposite directions. For example, when one ironing board 700 moves forward, the other ironing board 700 moves backward synchronously; when one ironing board 700 moves backward, the other ironing board 700 moves forward synchronously. Through this arrangement, the two ironing boards 700 are synchronously approached to or away from the clothes, ensuring that the two ironing boards 700 maintain an equal distance from the clothes to be washed during ironing, so that they cooperate with the support plate structure 410 to achieve synchronous clamping and ironing of the front and back sides of the clothes, significantly saving manpower consumption during ironing of clothes and improving the ironing efficiency of clothes. In addition, after the ironing of clothes is completed, the distance between the two ironing boards 700 can be synchronously expanded to end the clamping with the support plate structure 410, ensuring the smooth use of clothes. It should be noted that when two ironing boards 700 are provided, the two ironing boards 700 are arranged in parallel in the front and back directions.

[0069] It should be understood that the clothing care machine also includes a cabinet 100, and the hanger rail 500 is fixedly arranged on the cabinet 100. The clothing care machine also includes other components such as a steam generator 600 and / or a drying device. For details, please refer to the prior art and will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0075] Step S3: the support plate structure extends from the support assembly, extends into the clothes to be ironed, and approaches the hanger until the upper end of the support plate structure is close to the hanger;

[0076] Step S4: moving the ironing board so that it cooperates with the supporting board structure to clamp the clothes;

[0077] Step S5: the ironing board and the supporting plate structure move downward synchronously, and the ironing board starts ironing. During this process, the ironing board and the supporting plate structure always maintain a state of cooperating to clamp the clothes;

[0078] Step S6: After ironing is completed, move the ironing board away from the clothes;

[0079] Step S7: the support plate assembly retracts into the support assembly;

[0080] Step S8: The support assembly moves downward to return to its original state.

[0081] The original state of the support assembly means that the lower end of the support assembly is in close contact with the bottom of the inner tank of the clothing care machine; rising to a certain position means that the support assembly rises to a position close to the lower part of the clothing. At this time, if a clamping structure is provided on the support seat, the clamping structure can clamp the lower part of the sleeve of the clothing or the bottom of the trouser leg. The closeness of the upper end of the support plate structure to the hanger means that the upper end of the support plate structure is in close contact with or abuts against the hanger or there is a small gap.

[0082] As an optional example, the support plate structure is a foldable structure, and step S3 before "extending into the inside of the clothes to be ironed" further includes:

[0083] Step S31: folding the support plate structure.

[0084] As another optional example, the clothing support and care device further includes a blowing structure, and step S3 before "extending into the interior of the clothing to be ironed" further includes:

[0085] Step S31': Open the air blowing structure. Step S31 and step S31' can be performed in coordination.

[0086] By setting the above steps, automatic clamping and supporting can be achieved during the ironing process of clothes, so that during the ironing process, the ironed part of the clothes is always in a clamping and supporting state, thereby achieving a good ironing effect.
