[0024] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present embodiment provides a steam brush with a clamping and ironing structure, comprising a steam brush body 10 and a disc clamp 20, wherein the steam brush body 10 has an ironing surface 111 and a steam outlet 112 provided on the ironing surface 111; the disc clamp 20 is made of metal; the disc clamp 20 is hinged to the steam brush body 10 and forms a clamping and ironing structure with the ironing surface 111.

[0028] The opening and closing of the plate clamp 20 realizes the clamping operation of the clothes, so as to clamp and iron the clothes. At the same time, the material of the plate clamp 20 is set to be a metal material with good thermal conductivity. When ironing clothes, the plate clamp 20 can obtain heat from the ironing board (i.e., the component forming the ironing surface 111, i.e., the electric heating plate 11 described below), and the clothes clamped between the ironing board and the plate clamp 20 are ironed on both sides with heat, so as to achieve a better ironing effect.

[0029] Specifically, the metal disk clamp 20 can be a disk clamp 20 made of a single metal material, such as copper, aluminum, iron, steel, etc.; it can also be a disk clamp 20 made of a metal alloy, such as aluminum alloy, copper alloy, powder metallurgy, etc.

[0030] As a preferred solution, in this embodiment, the disk clamp 20 is made of an aluminum alloy with an anodized surface, or an aluminum alloy with a ceramic coating. The use of an aluminum alloy material can greatly reduce the weight while meeting the thermal conductivity. At the same time, the anodized surface or the ceramic coating can greatly enhance the wear resistance of the aluminum alloy material and improve the smoothness.

[0031] The steam brush body 10 is provided with a driving part 30 and an elastic reset member 40. The driving part 30 acts on the disc clamp 20 to drive the disc clamp 20 to open; the elastic reset member 40 acts on the disc clamp 20 to drive the disc clamp 20 to close. When opening is required, the user drives the disc clamp 20 to open through the driving part 30. After that, the user only needs to release the driving part 30, and the disc clamp 20 loses the drive of the driving part 30 and closes again under the action of the elastic reset member 40 to clamp the clothes.

[0032] Specifically, the disc clamp 20 is provided with a connecting arm 21. In this embodiment, the connecting arm 21 is fixed to the disc clamp 20 by assembly. The connecting arm 21 is inserted into the steam brush body 10 through the ironing surface 111. The connecting arm 21 is hinged to the steam brush body 10 through a hinge shaft 22, thereby realizing the hinged setting of the disc clamp 20; the driving part 30 and the elastic reset member 40 both act on the connecting arm 21. In this way, the hinged connection of the disc clamp 20, the cooperation with the elastic reset member 40, and the cooperation structure with the driving part 30 are all integrated in the steam brush body 10, realizing a hidden design, and the appearance is more concise and beautiful.

[0033] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the elastic reset member 40 is a double torsion spring 41, and the torsion spring segments at both ends of the double torsion spring 41 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the hinge shaft 22; the middle support arm 411 and the end support arm 412 of the double torsion spring 41 are respectively abutted on the steam brush body 10 and the connecting arm 21 to drive the disc clamp 20 to close. When the disc clamp 20 is opened, the double torsion spring 41 is compressed to store energy. When the disc clamp 20 loses the external force, the double torsion spring 41 resets and drives the disc clamp to close. The structure of the double torsion spring 41 is adopted, the force is uniform, and the connection structure is simple. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic reset member 40 can also be replaced by other elastic members that can perform elastic reset.

[0034] The driving part 30 is a pressing component, which drives the connecting arm 21 to swing with the hinge shaft 22 as a fulcrum through pressing, thereby driving the disk clamp 20 to open. The driving by pressing mode is easy to operate.

[0035] Specifically, the pressing assembly includes a pressing member 34, a slider 31 and a slider housing 32; the slider housing 32 is fixed to the steam brush body 10, and specifically, the slider housing 32 is composed of two left and right half shells. The slider 31 is assembled on the slider housing 32 so as to be able to rise and fall and slide. An inclined long slot hole 311 is provided at the bottom of the slider 31, and the connecting arm 21 is equipped with a slider shaft 23, which is inserted into the inclined long slot hole 311. The pressing member 34 is connected to the top of the slider 31, and the downward pressure of the pressing member 34 drives the slider 31 to move downward, thereby driving the connecting arm 21 to swing with the hinge shaft 22 as a fulcrum.

[0036] Further, the pressing assembly also includes a spring 35 and a spring top cover 33, wherein the spring top cover 33 is fixed to the top of the slider 31, and the pressing member 34 is assembled on the spring top cover 33, thereby being connected to the top of the slider 31. The spring 35 acts on the spring top cover 33 to drive the connected slider 31, the spring top cover 33 and the pressing member 34 to move up and reset, waiting for the next press. The structure of the spring 35 and the spring top cover 33 is adopted in order to enable the slider 31 and the pressing member 34 to reset more stably. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the spring 35 and the spring top cover 33 may not be adopted, and the pressing assembly can also be reset by the drive of the elastic reset member 40.

[0037] Specifically, the slider housing 32 and the spring top cover 33 are made of heat-insulating materials, which can isolate the heat transferred from the disk clamp 20 .

[0038] The steam brush body 10 includes an electric heating plate 11, a partition base 13 and a heat insulation cover 14. The bottom surface of the electric heating plate 11 is the ironing surface 111, that is, the electric heating plate 11 is the above-mentioned ironing board. The steam outlet 112 is opened on the electric heating plate 11. The electric heating plate 11 is equipped with a steam nozzle 12 connected to the steam outlet 112. The partition base 13 is a heat-insulating substrate, which can be prepared by heat-resistant plastic material. The partition base 13 covers the electric heating plate 11 and is provided with a window for making way for the steam nozzle 12. The slider housing 32 of the pressing component is assembled on the partition base 13. The heat insulation cover 14 covers the steam nozzle 12 and is fixed on the partition base 13, which plays a good heat insulation role. The steam brush body 10 adopts the above structure, and the structural layout is reasonable. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the steam brush body 10 is not limited to this.

[0039] The outer edge of the ironing surface 111 of the steam brush body 10 is recessed inward to form a recess 113. Specifically, the ironing surface 111 of the steam brush body 10 is similar to a triangular plane, and the recess 113 is similar to a closed triangular structure; the recess 113 is connected to the ironing surface 111 through an inclined transition surface 114; the disc clamp 20 is a frame-shaped structure with a hollow middle portion, specifically a triangular frame-shaped structure, and the disc clamp 20 is accommodated in the recess 113 when it is in a closed position. After clamping the clothes, the clothes can be tightly attached to the ironing surface 111. The inner wall of the disc clamp 20 is an inclined inner wall 201 corresponding to the inclined transition surface 114. In this way, the inclined transition surface 114 and the inclined inner wall 201 form an inclined channel, and the clothes can slide smoothly during the ironing process. After the disc clamp is closed, the surface of the steam panel is smooth, and clothes can be ironed like an ordinary steam brush.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the steam brush body 10 includes a shell 15. Specifically, the shell 15 has a handle 16. The shell 15 covers structures such as a partition base 13 and a heat insulation cover 14. The electric heating plate 11 is exposed at the bottom of the shell 15 and cooperates with the plate clamp 20. The pressing piece 34 is arranged on the top of the shell 15 away from the plate clamp 20. During operation, the operator presses the pressing piece 34 downward from the top of the shell 15, thereby driving the plate clamp 20 to open.

[0041] This embodiment also provides a steam ironing machine, which at least includes the steam brush with the clamping and ironing structure described above.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] The steam brush with a clamping ironing structure provided in this embodiment is substantially the same in structure as the steam brush with a clamping ironing structure provided in the first embodiment, except that in the first embodiment, the disc clamp 20 is made of a metal heat-conducting material, while in this embodiment, the disc clamp 20 is made of a non-metal heat-conducting material, such as plastics and graphite materials that are resistant to high temperatures and have good heat conductivity. In this way, double-sided hot ironing of clothing can also be achieved. Compared with metal heat-conducting materials, non-metal heat-conducting materials may have poor hardness or higher costs. It is preferred to use metal heat-conducting materials.
