[0062] Ironing equipment has different modes such as electric ironing and steam ironing. Users can hold the handle of the ironing machine to touch the clothes to be ironed for ironing. When ironing clothes with ironing equipment such as hanging irons or electric irons, it is necessary to manually apply pressure to the ironing equipment so that the ironing surface of the ironing equipment can press the clothes tightly. However, the surface of the clothes is often connected with buttons or other hard decorative parts protruding from the surface of the clothes. When ironing, it is necessary to manually operate the ironing equipment to avoid the protruding positions on the surface of the clothes. Therefore, the ironing process of the current ironing equipment is not smooth enough, resulting in low ironing efficiency and poor ironing effect.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application provide an ironing device and an ironing equipment. By designing an ironing structure in contact with clothes, a drum and a steam ironing surface are used to provide tension on the surface of clothes while softening the clothes. During the ironing process, the drum can easily pass over hard protrusions on the surface of clothes, thereby improving the smoothness of the ironing process, the ironing efficiency, and the ironing effect.

[0064] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are first described.

[0065] The ironing device and ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application can be ironing equipment for industrial, commercial or household use. The ironing equipment can be used in factory clothing manufacturing and warehousing, clothing sales, commercial care and other occasions, or can be used for ironing clothes in daily households. The ironing methods of the ironing equipment provided in the present application may include electric ironing, steam ironing and other methods, and the ironing modes include but are not limited to clamping ironing, blowing ironing and the like. In addition, the clothing ironed by the ironing equipment should be understood in a broad sense, including but not limited to clothes, trousers and other items for wearing, and may also include curtains, sheets, quilt covers and other fabrics. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this, and will be collectively referred to as "clothing" below, and no specific examples will be given.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a front view of the ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an ironing device 100, which includes an ironing body 110, a cover plate 120 and a drum assembly 130. The ironing body 110 and the cover plate 120 are arranged to form a circulation cavity 101. The circulation cavity 101 has a plurality of steam outlets 102. High-temperature steam entering the circulation cavity 101 can be ejected from the steam outlets 102. During the ironing operation, the steam outlets 102 can be directed toward the clothes to be ironed and eject high-temperature steam onto the surface of the clothes, thereby softening the clothes and achieving a good ironing effect.

[0068] The two ends of the drum assembly 130 can be rotatably connected to the ironing body 110 respectively. During the ironing process, the ironing body 110 moves relative to the clothes, and the drum assembly 130 can roll on the surface of the clothes. At least one ironing surface 140 is arranged on the side of the drum assembly 130, and the steam outlet 102 is arranged on the ironing surface 140. When the drum assembly 130 rolls the clothes, the steam sprayed from the steam outlet 102 can soften the clothes. The surface of the drum assembly 130 can have a gap with the ironing body 110 to avoid interference between the drum assembly 130 and the ironing body 110 when rolling.

[0069] In some embodiments, the ironing body 110 has a receiving groove 111, and the drum assembly 130 can be disposed in the receiving groove 111, and the drum assembly 130 at least partially protrudes outside the receiving groove 111. The receiving groove 111 is provided with ironing surfaces 140 at the front and rear sides along the ironing direction of the ironing device 100, respectively, and a plurality of steam outlets 102 are respectively provided on the ironing surfaces 140 at both sides of the receiving groove 111. The ironing surface 140 and the drum assembly 130 are located on the same side of the ironing device 100, and when the ironing device 100 is performing an ironing operation, the ironing surface 140 and the drum assembly 130 simultaneously face the clothes to be ironed.

[0070] It can be understood that during the ironing process, the ironing device 100 can move relative to the clothes to be ironed, and the drum assembly 130 can contact the surface of the clothes. When the ironing device 100 moves, the drum assembly 130 can roll on the surface of the clothes, thereby generating tension on the surface of the clothes, so that the clothes softened by steam can be straightened and ironed.

[0071] In addition, when the drum assembly 130 rolls on the surface of the clothes, the drum assembly 130 can also go over hard protrusions on the surface of the clothes, such as buttons, hard decorative parts, etc., thereby improving the smoothness of the ironing process.

[0072] It should be noted that, in the ironing device 100 provided in the present application, the rolling direction of the drum assembly 130 is the ironing direction of the ironing device 100, and the rotation axis of the drum assembly 130 may be perpendicular to the rolling direction of the drum assembly 130, that is, the rotation axis of the drum assembly 130 may be perpendicular to the ironing direction of the ironing device 100. During the ironing process, the ironing surface 140 and the drum assembly 130 may sequentially pass through the surface of the clothes to be ironed, thereby improving the smoothness of the ironing process and the ironing effect.

[0073] The ironing direction of the ironing device 100 is defined as an X direction, the length direction of the ironing device 100 is defined as a Y direction, the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction, and the drum assembly 130 extends along the Y direction.

[0074] First, the specific structure of the ironing surface 140 will be described in detail below.

[0075] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Partial view of position A in the middle.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may further include a flexible member 141, at least one of the ironing surfaces 140 on both sides of the accommodating groove 111 is provided with the flexible member 141, and a protrusion 142 is provided on the side of the flexible member 141 facing away from the ironing surface 140. The flexible member 141 makes the surface of the ironing surface 140 have a certain degree of flexibility, so that when contacting clothes and passing through hard protrusions on the surface of clothes, it can be easier to pass over the hard protrusions.

[0077] It is understandable that the flexible member 141 can cover the ironing surface 140 , and an opening can be provided at the position where the steam outlet 102 is provided on the ironing surface 140 so that the steam outlet 102 is exposed, and the high-temperature steam ejected from the steam outlet 102 can be ejected.

[0078] For example, the protrusion 142 may be cylindrical, or may be in other shapes such as a cube, a truncated cone, etc. There may be multiple protrusions 142, and the multiple protrusions 142 may be distributed on the surface of the flexible member 141. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the specific number of the protrusions 142 and the arrangement of the protrusions 142 on the surface of the flexible member 141.

[0079] It should be noted that when the ironing device 100 performs an ironing operation, the raised portion 142 can abut against the surface of the clothing, and the raised portion 142 can be elastically deformed under pressure. The raised portion 142 can be an integrally formed part with the flexible member 141, and the raised portion 142 and the flexible member 141 can be made of materials including but not limited to elastic materials with high temperature resistance such as rubber and silicone, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0080] In some embodiments, at least one of the ironing surfaces 140 on both sides of the accommodating groove 111 has a plurality of first stripe portions 143 arranged at intervals, and the plurality of first stripe portions 143 may be arranged to be inclined relative to the ironing direction of the ironing device 100 .

[0081] It can be understood that when the ironing surface 140 is opposite to the clothes to be ironed and moves relative to the surface of the clothes, the first stripe portion 143 can contact the surface of the clothes and generate friction, so that when the ironing surface 140 contacts the clothes, tension can be generated on the surface of the clothes, and the ironing process can physically smooth the clothes.

[0082] Since the ironing surface 140 can continuously spray high-temperature steam through the steam outlet 102 to soften the clothes during the ironing process, the ironing surface 140 can easily straighten the softened clothes through the first striped portion 143, thereby improving the ironing efficiency and the ironing effect.

[0083] Exemplarily, the central axis of the ironing surface 140 is S, and the central axis S extends along the ironing direction of the ironing device 100, that is, the central axis S is parallel to the X direction, and the first stripe portions 143 on both sides of the central axis of the ironing surface 140 are symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis and inclined in opposite directions, so that the first stripe portions 143 on both sides of the central axis of the ironing surface 140 can generate tension in opposite directions on the clothes, thereby avoiding wrinkles when the clothes are ironed.

[0084] The ironing surface 140 provided with the first striped portion 143 may be located at the rear end of the ironing body 110 along the ironing direction of the ironing device 100, so that the clothes rolled by the drum assembly 130 may be tensioned and straightened by the first striped portion 143, thereby achieving a better ironing effect.

[0085] It should be noted that the width of the first stripe portion 143 can be 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this. The inclination angle of the first stripe portion 143 relative to the X-direction can be 1°, 2°, 10°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0086] In addition, the first stripe portion 143 may be made of elastic and high temperature resistant materials such as rubber strips or silicone strips disposed on the ironing surface 140 .

[0087] The specific structure of the drum assembly 130 and the specific driving structure for the drum assembly 130 to rotate relative to the ironing body 110 are described in detail below.

[0088] Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the back side of an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the flow chamber of the ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Partial view of position B in the figure.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the drum assembly 130 may include a drum body 131 and a connecting shaft 132, wherein the connecting shaft 132 is disposed in the drum body 131 and is coaxially arranged, and the connecting shaft 132 is rotatably connected to the ironing body 110. During the ironing process, the drum body 131 may rub against the surface of the clothes, so that the friction force may drive the drum body 131 to rotate on the surface of the clothes, and at the same time, the drum body 131 rotates relative to the ironing body 110.

[0090] The outer surface of the drum body 131 has a second stripe portion 1311, and the second stripe portion 1311 is arranged obliquely relative to the ironing direction of the ironing device 100. During the ironing process, the rotation of the drum body 131 can pass over the hard protrusions on the surface of the clothes, and while ensuring the smoothness of ironing, it can generate tension on the surface of the clothes to straighten the clothes.

[0091] For example, there may be a plurality of second stripe portions 1311, and the plurality of second stripe portions 1311 may be made of elastic and high temperature resistant materials such as rubber strips or silicone strips covering the surface of the drum body 131. In addition, the plurality of second stripe portions 1311 may be symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis S, and the second stripe portions 1311 on both sides of the central axis S generate forces in different directions on the surface of the clothes when the drum body 131 rolls, so as to straighten the surface of the clothes.

[0092] It should be noted that when the drum body 131 rolls on the surface of the clothes, the tension generated by the plurality of second stripe portions 1311 can be decomposed into forces in the X direction and the Y direction, so that the entire surface of the clothes is smoother and the ironing effect is improved.

[0093] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of a driving assembly in an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0094] Please refer to Figure 8 , and combined with Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may further include a driving assembly 150, which includes a driving unit 151. The driving unit 151 is disposed on the ironing body 110. The output end of the driving unit 151 is connected to the connecting shaft 132, and drives the drum body 131 to rotate, so that the drum body 131 can rotate autonomously during the ironing process, thereby increasing the tension formed by the drum body 131 on the surface of the clothes.

[0095] It is understandable that the driving unit 151 may be a motor, which may be installed on the side of the ironing device 100 away from the ironing surface 140, and the output shaft of the driving unit 151 may directly drive the connecting shaft 132 to rotate, or the driving unit 151 may be indirectly connected to the connecting shaft 132 through a transmission mechanism and drive the connecting shaft 132 to rotate, so as to improve the rationality of the layout of the driving assembly 150 on the ironing device 100. This will be explained below.

[0096] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 150 may also include a first transmission member 152, a driving wheel 153 and a driven wheel 154, the driving wheel 153 is connected to the output end of the driving unit 151, the driven wheel 154 is coaxially connected to the connecting shaft 132, and the first transmission member 152 is wound around the driving wheel 153 and the driven wheel 154 to improve the transmission efficiency between the driving unit 151 and the roller assembly 130.

[0097] Exemplarily, the first transmission member 152 can be a flexible transmission member such as a belt, a synchronous belt, or a chain. The driving wheel 153 and the driven wheel 154 can be installed on the ironing body 110 through bearings and bearing seats. The driving assembly 150 can drive the driving wheel 153 to rotate, and the driving wheel 153 can drive the first transmission member 152 to transmit along the X direction. At the same time, the first transmission member 152 drives the driven wheel 154 to rotate, and the driven wheel 154 can drive the connecting shaft 132 to rotate.

[0098] It should be noted that the drive unit 151 and the connecting shaft 132 can be arranged on the same side of the first transmission member 152, so as to avoid the drive unit 151 occupying the end space of the ironing device 100. In this way, the length of the drum body 131 can match the length of the ironing body 110, that is, the length of the drum body 131 can be close to the length dimension of the ironing body 110 in the Y direction, so that the ironing device 100 has a higher coverage rate of the ironing surface 140.

[0099] The supply and flow distribution structure of the steam in the flow chamber 101 will be described in detail below.

[0100] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the circulation cavity 101 has a steam inlet 103, and the inner wall of the circulation cavity 101 is provided with a guide member 160, which can divide the circulation cavity 101 into multiple steam chambers 104, and the steam inlet 103 is connected to the multiple steam chambers 104, and the multiple steam outlets 102 are respectively located in the multiple steam chambers 104, thereby improving the uniformity of steam spraying from the multiple steam outlets 102 and improving the ironing effect.

[0101] It is understandable that the steam inlet 103 can be provided on the side of the ironing body 110 away from the ironing surface 140, so as to be connected to an external steam supply pipeline. The steam inlet 103 can be located at the center of the circulation cavity 101, and the plurality of steam chambers 104 can be distributed at different positions around the steam inlet 103, so that the high-temperature steam entering the circulation cavity 101 from the steam inlet 103 can be diverted to the surroundings and enter different steam chambers 104 respectively, so as to maintain the uniformity of the steam flow in different directions.

[0102] Exemplarily, a plurality of steam chambers 104 are distributed on both sides of the circulation cavity 101 in the width direction of the ironing body 110. Since the ironing surfaces 140 are distributed on both sides of the ironing device 100 in the X direction, and the steam outlet 102 is opposite to the ironing surface 140, the steam chambers 104 can be partially on both sides of the circulation cavity 101 in the width direction of the ironing body 110, that is, avoiding the position where the accommodating groove 111 accommodating the roller assembly 130 is located, so that the high-temperature steam is diverted to the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right of the circulation cavity 101 through the guide member 160, thereby improving the uniformity of the high-temperature steam entering each steam chamber 104.

[0103] In some embodiments, the guide member 160 may include a first guide portion 161 and a second guide portion 162, wherein there are multiple first guide portions 161, and the multiple first guide portions 161 are arranged at intervals around the steam inlet 103; the second guide portion 162 can be arranged together with the inner wall of the flow cavity 101 to form multiple steam flow channels, and the multiple steam flow channels are respectively connected to the multiple steam chambers 104, thereby improving the smoothness of the steam flow.

[0104] It is understandable that gaps may be formed between adjacent first guide portions 161 , and the steam flowing in from the steam inlet 103 may flow through the gaps between adjacent first guide portions 161 after being diverted and guided by the first guide portions 161 , thereby being diverted to different directions around the steam inlet 103 .

[0105] Exemplarily, there may be four first guides 161, which are respectively located at the upper, lower, left and right positions of the steam inlet 103, thereby forming four gaps around the steam inlet 103, and guiding the high-temperature steam flowing into the flow cavity 101 from the steam inlet 103 to the upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right positions of the flow cavity 101. Of course, there may be two, three or more first guides, and the specific number of the first guides 161 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0106] It should be noted that there can be two second guide portions 162, and the two second guide portions 162 can be respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the steam inlet 103. The two second guide portions 162 can separate the flow chamber 101 into two upper and lower areas, so that the position of the steam chamber 104 can be distributed on the upper and lower sides of the flow chamber 101 in the X direction, while avoiding the area where the roller assembly 130 is arranged in the middle.

[0107] In some embodiments, the guide member 160 may further include a plurality of third guide portions 163 , which are spaced apart and surround the inner wall of the flow cavity 101 to form a plurality of steam chambers 104 , thereby improving the uniformity of steam entering each steam chamber 104 .

[0108] It is understandable that the third guide portions 163 may be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second guide portion 162, and the plurality of steam chambers 104 formed by the plurality of third guide portions 163 and the inner wall of the flow chamber 101 may be arranged at intervals along the Y direction, and at least one steam outlet 102 may be provided in each steam chamber 104. The number of the third guide portions 163 may be two, three or more, and this embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0109] Exemplarily, the height of the guide member 160 is greater than or equal to 1 mm, so that the guiding effect of the guide member 160 on the airflow can be improved, and the steam is prevented from passing over the guide member 160 during the flow process. The specific value of the height of the guide member 160 may include but is not limited to 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0110] It should be noted that the first guide portion 161, the second guide portion 162 and the third guide portion 163 can be integrally formed with one of the cover plate 120 and the ironing body 110, or connected by ultrasonic welding, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0111] In some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may further include at least one heating element 170 , which is connected to the ironing body 110 . The heating element 170 is configured to heat the ironing surface 140 , thereby improving the ironing effect of the ironing surface 140 on clothes.

[0112] For example, there may be a plurality of heating elements 170 , including but not limited to two, three, four or more, which are not specifically limited in the present embodiment. The plurality of heating elements 170 may be distributed at intervals on the ironing body 110 .

[0113] It should be noted that, in the process of the high-temperature steam in the circulation cavity 101 being sprayed out through the steam outlet 102, water droplets may exist in the high-temperature steam, and condensed water may be generated in the circulation cavity 101. A water outlet 121 may be provided on the inner wall of the circulation cavity 101, and a water tank may be provided outside the ironing device 100. The residual water generated in the circulation cavity 101 may flow into the water tank through the water outlet 121, thereby preventing the residual water from being sprayed out from the steam outlet 102 and wetting the clothes.
