[0003] In the related art, when steam ironing is adopted, a plurality of steam holes may be provided on the ironing head of the ironing machine, and water vapor generated by a steam generating device may be sprayed out from the steam holes. The high-temperature water vapor may soften the clothes to be ironed, thereby making it easier to iron the surface of the clothes flat by pressing or blowing during ironing.

[0004] However, when using steam ironing, the current ironing machine does not spray steam evenly and is prone to produce residual water and condensed water, which will wet the clothes and result in poor ironing effect. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide an ironing device and an ironing equipment to solve the technical problem that when the ironing machine is used for steam ironing, steam is sprayed unevenly and residual water and condensed water are easily generated, which will wet the clothes.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides an ironing device, which includes an ironing assembly and a first water tank. The ironing assembly includes an ironing body and a cover plate. The ironing body and the cover plate are arranged to form a circulation cavity. The circulation cavity has an inlet, a water outlet and multiple steam outlets. The water outlet is connected to the first water tank.

[0007] The inner wall of the circulation cavity is provided with a flow guide, which divides the circulation cavity into a plurality of steam chambers. The inlet is connected with the plurality of steam chambers, and the plurality of steam outlets are respectively located in the plurality of steam chambers.

[0008] The ironing device provided in the present application divides a circulation cavity for supplying steam into a plurality of steam chambers, so that the plurality of steam chambers respectively spray steam through steam outlets, thereby improving the uniformity of steam sprayed from the ironing body, and the residual water and condensed water in the circulation cavity can be recovered into the first water tank through the water outlet, thereby avoiding wetting the clothes and improving the user experience.

[0009] In some embodiments, the plurality of steam chambers are distributed on both sides of the inlet and arranged along the length direction of the flow cavity.

[0010] With such arrangement, the steam entering the circulation chamber from the inlet can flow evenly to both sides into each steam chamber, so as to ensure the uniformity of steam flow distribution.

[0011] In some embodiments, the flow guide may include a plurality of first flow guide portions, and the plurality of first flow guide portions are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the inlet.

[0012] With such arrangement, the steam entering the flow chamber through the inlet can be evenly distributed to all directions around the inlet through the first guide portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first flow guide portion may have an inclined angle relative to the length direction of the flow cavity.

[0032] With such arrangement, the residual water collected in the first water tank can be discharged into the second water tank for storage, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the residual water.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first joint may include a seal and a first flow port connected to the interior of the first water tank, the seal is movably disposed at the first flow port, and the second joint has an abutment portion, the abutment portion is provided with a second flow port connected to the interior of the second water tank; the abutment portion can abut or separate from the seal to allow the seal to open or close the first flow port.

[0034] With such arrangement, the first water tank and the second water tank can be connected by docking them, and when the two are separated, the first water tank can be closed to prevent leakage of the stored water therein.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first joint may further include an elastic member, which is located at an end of the sealing member facing the interior of the first water tank, and the elastic member applies an elastic force to the sealing member toward the exterior of the first flow port.

[0036] With such arrangement, the elastic member provides a pre-tightening force for the sealing member, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing member for the first flow opening.

[0037] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the first water tank has a first sealing portion surrounding the first flow port, and the second joint has a second sealing portion surrounding the abutting portion; when the abutting portion abuts the sealing member, the first sealing portion abuts the second sealing portion.

[0057] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0058] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these implementations are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0059] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0060] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0061] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0062] The ironing machine has different modes such as electric ironing and steam ironing. The user can hold the handle of the ironing machine to touch the clothes to be ironed for ironing. When the steam ironing mode is adopted, the ironing head of the ironing machine can be provided with a plurality of steam holes, and water vapor generated by the steam generating device can be sprayed out from the steam holes. The high-temperature water vapor can soften the clothes to be ironed, so that the surface of the clothes can be more easily ironed flat by pressing or blowing during ironing. However, when the current ironing machine is steam ironing, the steam is sprayed unevenly, and residual water and condensed water are easily generated, which will wet the clothes, resulting in poor ironing effect.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application provide an ironing device and an ironing equipment with a steam ironing function. Through the structural design of the steam circulation chamber for supplying steam, the steam can be diverted during supply. During steam ironing, the sprayed steam can be evenly distributed, and the water droplets mixed in the steam and the generated condensed water can be recovered, which improves the steam ironing effect while preventing the clothes from getting wet during the ironing process, thereby improving the user experience.

[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 schematic diagram of the structure of an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of an ironing assembly in an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal steam flow in the flow chamber of the ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 for Figure 3 Partial view of position A in the middle, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of residual water recovery circulation in a circulation chamber of an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an ironing device 100, which includes an ironing component 110 and a first water tank 120. The ironing component 110 includes an ironing body 111 and a cover plate 112. The ironing body 111 and the cover plate 112 are arranged to form a circulation cavity 113. The circulation cavity 113 has an inlet 114, a water outlet 115 and a plurality of steam outlets 116. The water outlet 115 is connected to the first water tank 120.

[0068] It is understandable that the high-temperature steam can enter the circulation cavity 113 from the inlet 114, and the high-temperature steam entering the circulation cavity 113 can be ejected from the steam outlet 116, and the steam outlet 116 is directed toward the clothes to be ironed, so as to realize the function of steam ironing. The airflow of the high-temperature steam entering the circulation cavity 113 from the inlet 114 is mixed with liquid water that has not been completely evaporated. Therefore, during the steam ironing process, residual water will be generated in the circulation cavity 113, and condensed water may be generated on the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113. The residual water and condensed water can flow out of the circulation cavity 113 through the water outlet 115 and enter the first water tank 120 for storage, thereby realizing the separation of the residual water and steam in the circulation cavity 113, and avoiding the accumulation of residual water and condensed water in the circulation cavity 113, resulting in the steam ejected from the steam outlet 116 containing water droplets and wetting the clothes.

[0069] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113 is provided with a guide member 117 , which divides the circulation cavity 113 into multiple steam chambers 1131 , the inlet 114 is connected to the multiple steam chambers 1131 , and the multiple steam outlets 116 are respectively located in the multiple steam chambers 1131 .

[0070] Among them, after the high-temperature steam enters the circulation cavity 113 from the inlet 114, it can be diverted by the guide member 117 and enter multiple steam chambers 1131 respectively. The guide member 117 guides the high-temperature steam, so that the steam gas flow entering the multiple steam chambers 1131 can be kept uniform, and then the high-temperature steam can be evenly sprayed out through the multiple steam outlets 116. In this way, the ironed clothes can be evenly softened, thereby improving the ironing effect.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the ironing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the guide member 117 and the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113 can jointly form a channel for steam to enter the steam chamber 1131 from the inlet 114 and guide the flow of steam. The separation process of residual water, condensed water and other residual water in the circulation cavity 113 from the steam is achieved in the process of steam flowing from the inlet 114 to the steam outlet 116. The residual water and condensed water in the steam can be recovered into the first water tank 120 through the water outlet 115 under the action of gravity.

[0072] First, the specific distribution positions of the multiple steam chambers 1131 and the structure of the guide member 117 are described in detail below.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, a plurality of steam chambers 1131 may be distributed on both sides of the inlet 114 and arranged along the length direction of the flow chamber 113. The steam entering the flow chamber 113 from the inlet 114 may flow evenly to each steam chamber 1131 on both sides to ensure uniformity of steam flow distribution.

[0074] It can be understood that the ironing assembly 110 can be arranged vertically, and the inlet 114 can be located in the middle position of the length direction of the circulation cavity 113. After the steam enters the circulation cavity 113 from the inlet 114, it can flow in various directions such as up, down, left and right, and guided by the guide member 117, the steam can flow into each steam chamber 1131 respectively.

[0075] Exemplarily, the guide member 117 can be a rib structure on the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113. The guide member 117 can be integrally formed with the ironing body 111 or the cover plate 112, and the height of the rib can be equal to the thickness of the circulation cavity 113 to improve the steam guiding effect.

[0076] In some embodiments, the guide member 117 may include a plurality of first guide portions 1171, which are arranged at intervals around the inlet 114. The first guide portions 1171 can evenly distribute the steam entering the flow cavity 113 from the inlet 114 to all directions around the inlet 114.

[0077] The first guide portion 1171 may have an inclined angle relative to the length direction of the flow chamber 113, so as to prevent the steam from impacting the inner wall of the flow chamber 113 during circulation, thereby causing energy loss and reducing the flow rate. For example, the length direction of the flow chamber 113 is a horizontal direction, and the angle of the first guide portion 1171 relative to the horizontal direction may be 1°, 10°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0078] Exemplarily, there are two first guide portions 1171, which can be distributed on the upper and lower sides of the inlet 114. The first guide portion 1171 located on the upper side of the inlet 114 can be in a positive "V" shape, and the steam entering the circulation chamber 113 from the inlet 114 can flow to the upper left and upper right of the circulation chamber 113 respectively through the guidance of the first guide portion 1171, while the first guide portion 1171 located on the lower side of the inlet 114 can be in an inverted "V" shape, and the steam entering the circulation chamber 113 from the inlet 114 can flow to the lower left and lower right of the circulation chamber 113 respectively through the guidance of the first guide portion 1171. In this way, the steam can be divided into at least four airflows.

[0079] In some embodiments, the guide member 117 may further include at least two second guide portions 1172 , which are distributed on both sides of the inlet 114 along the length direction of the flow cavity 113 , and the second guide portions 1172 and the inner wall of the flow cavity 113 are surrounded to form a first steam chamber 1131 a .

[0080] It can be understood that channels for steam to flow are reserved on the upper and lower sides of the first steam chamber 1131a, so that part of the diverted steam can bypass the first steam chamber 1131a and flow into the steam outlet 116 at other positions of the circulation cavity 113, and the second guide portion 1172 can play a good guiding role in the steam airflow dispersedly flowing on both sides of the inlet 114 to maintain the steam flow rate.

[0081] Exemplarily, the second flow guide 1172 may be an annular structure with a notch, the inner side of the non-enclosed annular structure forms the inner wall of the first steam chamber 1131a, and steam may flow in from the notch of the annular structure. The second flow guide 1172 may be provided with at least one flow notch 1172a, and the flow notch 1172a may be opposite to the steam outlet 116 in the first steam chamber 1131a. When there are multiple flow notches 1172a, steam can enter the first steam chamber 1131a from multiple different positions, and the multiple steam outlets 116 in the first steam chamber 1131a can spray steam uniformly.

[0082] It should be noted that the number of the steam outlets 116 in the first steam chamber 1131a may be two, three or more, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In some embodiments, the guide member 117 may further include a third guide portion 1173 , which is located at an end of the second guide portion 1172 away from the inlet 114 ; the third guide portion 1173 may be externally arranged with the inner wall of the flow cavity 113 to form a second steam chamber 1131 b .

[0084] It can be understood that the second steam chamber 1131b is located on the side of the first steam chamber 1131a away from the inlet 114, and part of the steam diverted from the inlet 114 flows into the first steam chamber 1131a, while part of the steam is diverted to the second steam chamber 1131b, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the amount of steam flowing into each steam chamber 1131.

[0085] Exemplarily, the steam below the second guide portion 1172 may enter the first steam chamber 1131a, and the steam above the second guide portion 1172 may flow along the outer wall of the first steam chamber 1131a to the third guide portion 1173, and flow into the second steam chamber 1131b through the third guide portion 1173. The steam below the second guide portion 1172 may also partially overflow into the second steam chamber.

[0086] In addition, the inlet of the second steam chamber 1131b may be provided with a fourth guide portion 1174, which is located between the second guide portion 1172 and the third guide portion 1173, so that the airflow flowing into the second steam chamber 1131b can be diverted again, so that the multiple steam outlets 116 in the second steam chamber 1131b can spray steam uniformly. Exemplarily, the fourth guide portion 1174 can be arranged parallel to the flow direction of the steam entering the second steam chamber 1131b.

[0087] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple flow chambers 113, which are arranged at intervals and interconnected, and a drum light ironing member may be provided between adjacent flow chambers 113. When ironing clothes, the drum rolls on the surface of the clothes to keep the clothes taut and improve the ironing effect. The flow guide 117 may also include more flow guides, and the above-mentioned flow guides may be arranged at intervals or interconnected, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

[0088] The structure for guiding the flow of residual water such as residual water and condensed water in the flow chamber 113 and the structure for preventing the residual water from flowing out of the steam outlet 116 are described in detail below.

[0089] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the flow cavity 113 has an overflow wall 118, which is located at the bottom of the flow cavity 113 and is inclined toward the water outlet 115 relative to the horizontal direction. The residual water and condensed water that sinks in the flow cavity 113 can flow toward the water outlet 115 along the overflow wall 118 under the action of gravity, so that the accumulated water can be discharged smoothly.

[0090] It can be understood that the overflow wall 118 can be the bottom wall of the circulation chamber 113 in the vertical direction, the water outlet 115 is located at the end of the circulation chamber 113, and the overflow wall 118 can extend from one end of the circulation chamber 113 away from the water outlet 115 to the first water outlet 115, so that the residual water flowing back from various positions in the length direction of the circulation chamber 113 can flow along the overflow wall 118 to the first water outlet 115.

[0091] For example, the inclination angle of the overflow wall 118 relative to the horizontal direction may include but is not limited to 1°, 2°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 20°, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0092] It should be noted that the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113 may be provided with a water retaining rib 119 surrounding the steam outlet 116, and the height of the flow guide 117 is greater than the height of the water retaining rib 119, which can prevent water droplets in the circulation cavity 113 from being sprayed out from the steam outlet 116 and wetting the clothes, thereby ensuring that the sprayed steam is dry. The water retaining rib 119 may be integrally formed with the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113, or may be welded to the inner wall of the circulation cavity 113, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0093] In some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may further include a bracket 130 and a hose 140, the first water tank 120 is connected to the bracket 130, the ironing assembly 110 is movably connected to the bracket 130, the first end of the hose 140 can be connected to the first water tank 120, and the second end of the hose 140 can be connected to the water outlet 115.

[0094] It can be understood that the bracket 130 is used to support the ironing component 110 and the first water tank 120. The ironing component 110 moves relative to the bracket 130, so that the ironing component 110 can achieve the function of blowing or clamping ironing, and the position of the first water tank 120 relative to the bracket 130 is fixed. The water outlet 115 of the circulation cavity 113 is connected to the first water tank 120 through the hose 140, which can ensure the reliability of the residual water recovery pipeline while realizing automatic ironing in the ironing device 100.

[0095] Exemplarily, there may be two ironing components 110, and the two ironing components 110 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the two ironing components 110 can be close to or away from each other along the first direction, so that the functions of automatic clamping and automatic blowing can be achieved through the relative ironing of the two ironing components 110, thereby ensuring the safety of the ironing process.

[0096] The first direction is defined as the X direction. It should be noted that a driving unit and a transmission member may be provided on the bracket 130, and the ironing assembly 110 is connected to the transmission member. The driving unit drives the ironing assembly 110 to move along the X direction by driving the transmission member, wherein the transmission member may be a flexible transmission structure such as a synchronous belt, a belt, a chain, a winding wire, or a rigid transmission structure such as a lead screw and a lead screw nut, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0097] In addition, there is an ironing gap between the two ironing components 110, and the clothes to be ironed can be placed in the ironing gap. The ironing gap can be increased or decreased by the relative movement of the two ironing components 110. The steam outlets 116 of the two ironing components 110 are both facing the ironing gap. According to the size of the ironing gap, the two ironing components 110 can adopt different ironing methods such as clamping ironing or blowing ironing.

[0098] Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of a first water tank and a second water tank in an ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application in a separated state. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the docking state of the first water tank and the second water tank in the ironing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 Partial view of position B in the figure.

[0099] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, since the first water tank 120 is disposed on the bracket 130, in order to reduce the load-bearing burden of the bracket 130 and facilitate the user to clean the residual water, a second water tank 150 may be disposed, and the residual water recovered in the first water tank 120 may be discharged into the second water tank 150. This will be described in detail below.

[0100] In some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may further include a second water tank 150, the first water tank 120 has a first joint 121, the second water tank 150 has a second joint 151, the first water tank 120 is movably arranged relative to the second water tank 150 so that the first joint 121 and the second joint 151 can be docked or separated, and the remaining water collected by the first water tank 120 can be discharged into the second water tank 150 for storage to facilitate the cleaning of the remaining water.

[0101] It can be understood that the second water tank 150 can be an independently arranged waste water recovery tank, and when the second water tank 150 is full of water, it is used to discharge the water in the second water tank 150 for cleaning. Alternatively, the second water tank 150 can be integrated with the clean water tank, that is, the second water tank 150 can supply the required water for steam ironing of the ironing device 100, and the water supplied by the second water tank 150 can be connected to the inlet 114 of the ironing component 110 via a steam generator (such as a heating module, etc.).

[0102] When the ironing device 100 is ironing clothes, the ironing device 100 needs to move relative to the clothes, while the second water tank 150 can remain in a fixed position to reduce the driving force required for the movement of the ironing device 100. During the ironing process, the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 are in a separated device. When ironing is completed or before the ironing operation begins, the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 can be docked to drain the remaining water in the first water tank 120.

[0103] The specific docking structure between the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 will be described in detail below.

[0104] Please continue to refer to Figures 6 to 8In some embodiments, the first joint 121 may include a sealing member 122 and a first flow port 123 connected to the interior of the first water tank 120. The sealing member 122 is movably disposed at the first flow port 123. The second joint 151 has an abutting portion 152. The abutting portion 152 is provided with a second flow port 153 connected to the interior of the second water tank 150. The abutting portion 152 may abut against or separate from the sealing member 122 so that the sealing member 122 opens or closes the first flow port 123.

[0105] It can be understood that the first joint 121 can be located at the bottom of the first water tank 120, and the second joint 151 can be located at the top of the second water tank 150. When the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 are separated, the seal 122 can block the first flow port 123 to prevent the water stored in the first water tank 120 from leaking out. When the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 are docked, the first flow port 123 can be opened by pushing the seal 122 open through the abutment portion 152, and the first flow port 123 and the second flow port 153 are connected.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first joint 121 may further include an elastic member 124, which is located at one end of the seal 122 facing the interior of the first water tank 120, and the elastic member 124 applies an elastic force to the seal 122 toward the outside of the first flow port 123. The elastic member 124 provides a pre-tightening force for the seal 122, thereby improving the sealing performance of the seal 122 to the first flow port 123.

[0107] Exemplarily, the elastic member 124 can be a spring. When the abutment portion 152 pushes open the sealing member 122, the abutment portion 152 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 124, so that the elastic member 124 is compressed. When the abutment portion 152 is separated from the sealing member 122, the elastic member 124 rebounds and pushes the sealing member 122 to seal the first flow port 123.

[0108] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the first water tank 120 has a first sealing portion 125 surrounding the first flow port 123, and the second joint 151 has a second sealing portion 154 surrounding the abutting portion 152. When the abutting portion 152 abuts against the sealing member 122, the first sealing portion 125 abuts against the second sealing portion 154, so that water leakage can be prevented when the first water tank 120 and the second water tank 150 are docked.

[0109] It is understandable that the first sealing portion 125 is a downward trumpet-shaped structure, and the second sealing portion 154 is an upward trumpet-shaped structure, and the two are connected to form a closed space, so that water flowing out of the first flow port 123 can flow into the second flow port 153.

[0110] It should be noted that the first sealing portion 125 and the second sealing portion 154 may be made of elastic materials such as rubber and silicone, which can ensure good sealing performance when docked.
