Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The self-tilting isolation safety electric iron of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, includes a base 1 and a heating component 2. The heating component 2 includes an ironing board 21. The ironing board 21 is arranged on the lower side of the base 1. The heating component 2 further includes an electric heating tube 22. The electric heating tube 22 is arranged on the upper side of the ironing board 21. The base 1 is formed with a rear heel part 12. The rear heel part 12 is arranged at the rear side of the ironing board 21. Specifically, the base 1 is formed with a front shell part 11. The front end of the rear heel part 12 is integrally connected with the rear end of the front shell part 11. As Figure 6 shown, the lower end of the front shell part 11 is open. As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the ironing board 21 closes the lower end opening of the front shell part 11. Thus, the electric heating tube 22 is located in the space surrounded by the ironing board 21 and the front shell part 11. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the rear heel part 12 is formed with a standing posture bottom surface 1201. The standing posture bottom surface 1201 is inclined with the front lower and the rear higher. When the electric iron of the present invention is used on a horizontal desktop, the ironing board 21 abuts against the clothes. Since the standing posture bottom surface 1201 is inclined with the front lower and the rear higher, the rear heel part 12 does not contact the clothes at this time. In order to prevent the rear heel part 12 from scratching the clothes when ironing, the lower end position of the standing posture bottom surface 1201 is higher than the ironing board bottom surface 2101. As Figure 2 shown, the rear heel part 12 is provided with a rear heel inner cavity 121 (it should be noted that Figure 2 the self-tilting counterweight 4 is not drawn), asFigure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, with a self-tilting counterweight 4 provided in the rear cavity 121, as Figure 5 shown, followed by a bottom wall 1213 of the rear cavity 121, and a rib plate 1211 is formed on the bottom wall 1213 of the rear cavity 121, as Figure 8 shown, a clamping groove 401 is formed at the lower end of the self-tilting counterweight 4, as Figure 4 shown, and the clamping groove 401 is clamped to the corresponding rib plate 1211.

[0028] As Figure 3 and Figure 9 shown, since the rear part 12 is provided at the rear side of the ironing board 21, and the standing bottom surface 1201 is inclined with the front being lower and the rear being higher. When the user needs to pause using the electric iron, the user releases the electric iron. And because there is a self-tilting counterweight 4 provided in the rear cavity 121, the moment of the gravity of the rear part of the electric iron about the fulcrum 2001 (in the counterclockwise direction) is greater than the moment of the gravity of the front part of the electric iron about the fulcrum 2001 (in the clockwise direction), which enables the electric iron to swing backward by itself, that is to say, the front part of the electric iron tilts up by itself, so that the ironing board 21 leaves the clothes, that is to say, the ironing board 21 is separated from the clothes 98, and then it changes to the standing bottom surface 1201 of the rear part 12 contacting the clothes. At this time, the electric iron is in a standing state, that is to say, the standing bottom surface 1201 serves as the actual bottom surface of the electric iron in the standing state, so that the electric iron can be stationary in the Figure 9 standing state shown. The fulcrum 2001 is the rear edge of the ironing board 21; the function of the self-tilting counterweight 4 is to enable the front part of the electric iron to tilt up by itself; since the electric iron of the present invention only needs a simple action of releasing the electric iron to convert from the flat use state to the standing state, when the user needs to leave briefly, the user can conveniently and quickly convert the electric iron to the standing state. After that, even if the user fails to come back in time to turn off the electric iron due to interference from other things, it will not cause the clothes to be scorched or catch fire. Therefore, the present invention is beneficial to improving the use safety of the electric iron. When the user needs to resume using the electric iron, the user presses down the front part of the electric iron, so that the electric iron swings around the fulcrum 2001 until the ironing board 21 returns to the flat state, and then the ironing board 21 resumes pressing flat on the clothes 98. As Figure 4 shown, during the process of installing the self-tilting counterweight 4 into the rear cavity 121 from top to bottom, the rib plate 1211 also relatively inserts upward into the corresponding clamping groove 401. Since the clamping groove 401 is clamped to the corresponding rib plate 1211, it is beneficial to position the self-tilting counterweight 4 by the clamping groove 401.

[0029] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the lower end of the self-tilting counterweight 4 abuts against the upper side of the bottom wall 1213 of the rear cavity 121, so that the bottom wall 1213 of the rear cavity 121 positions the self-tilting counterweight 4 from below.

[0030] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , inner cavity side walls 1214 are respectively provided at the left and right ends following the inner cavity 121. As shown in Figure 4 , the left and right ends of the self - tilting counterweight 4 respectively abut against the corresponding inner cavity side walls 1214. Thus, the inner cavity side walls 1214 position the self - tilting counterweight 4 in the left - right direction, and can prevent the self - tilting counterweight 4 from significantly swaying in the left - right direction.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , an inner cavity front wall 1212 is formed at the front end following the inner cavity 121. As shown in Figure 3 , the front end of the self - tilting counterweight 4 abuts against the rear side of the inner cavity front wall 1212. Thus, the inner cavity front wall 1212 positions the self - tilting counterweight 4 in the front.

[0032] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a housing assembly 3 is provided on the upper side of the base 1. The housing assembly 3 includes a cover body 31, a rear cover plate 32 and a handle portion 33. The handle portion 33 is provided on the upper side of the cover body 31. The handle portion 33 can be integrally provided with the cover body 31. The rear cover plate 32 is provided at the rear end of the cover body 31. Specifically, a notch is formed at the rear end of the cover body 31, and the rear cover plate 32 is used to fill the above - mentioned notch. As shown in Figure 7 , a counterbore shell 3200 is formed on the rear cover plate 32. As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 , a rear - cover installation counterbore 3201 is formed in the counterbore shell 3200. A rear - cover installation screw 321 is provided in the rear - cover installation counterbore 3201. The rear - cover installation screw 321 is screwed with the cover body 31. The upper end of the self - tilting counterweight 4 abuts against the lower side of the counterbore shell 3200. Thus, the counterbore shell 3200 positions the self - tilting counterweight 4 in the upper position. As shown in Figure 3 , the rear end of the self - tilting counterweight 4 abuts against the front side of the rear cover plate 32. Thus, the rear cover plate 32 positions the self - tilting counterweight 4 in the rear. Thus, the base 1 and the rear cover plate 32 jointly position the self - tilting counterweight 4, preventing the self - tilting counterweight 4 from being significantly loose in the inner cavity 121 following the rear, and making relatively full use of the rear internal space of the electric iron, which is beneficial to increasing the volume of the self - tilting counterweight 4, and is beneficial to increasing the weight of the part of the electric iron behind the fulcrum 2001.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , the ironing board 21 forms an ironing - board bottom surface 2101 for contacting the clothes 98. The inclination angle of the standing - position bottom surface 1201 relative to the ironing - board bottom surface 2101 is 17° to 25°. That is to say Figure 3 the angle dimension "X" in Figure 9 is 17° to 25°. Thus, as shown in Figure 9The angular dimension “Y” is 17° to 25°. With the above settings, when the user needs to resume using the electric iron, the user only needs to swing the front end of the electric iron by a small angle to quickly restore the electric iron to the working state. The user can hold the handle part 33 and press down the handle part 33 to apply a large downward pressure on the bottom surface 2101 of the ironing board against the clothes 98, and then slide the electric iron to iron the clothes 98 flat.

[0034] Furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, a weight adjustment hole 402 is formed on the self - tilting counterweight 4. Thus, when the power specification of the electric iron changes or the structure of the housing assembly 3 changes, the weight at the front of the electric iron may change. The manufacturer can set the external shape structure and dimensions of the self - tilting counterweight 4 to remain unchanged, and only need to change the depth of the weight adjustment hole 402 to change the weight at the rear end of the electric iron, which is beneficial for different specifications of electric irons to easily obtain approximately the same force to swing the electric iron back to the working state.

[0035] Furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, the weight adjustment hole 402 is formed in the middle of the rear part of the self - tilting counterweight 4. That is to say, in the left - right direction, the weight adjustment hole 402 is located in the middle of the self - tilting counterweight 4, which is beneficial for balancing the left - right weight of the electric iron. Since the weight adjustment hole 402 is located in the rear part of the self - tilting counterweight 4, the weight adjustment hole 402 is relatively far from the fulcrum 2001. Therefore, the change in the depth of the weight adjustment hole 402 has a more obvious impact on the moment of the gravity of the rear end of the electric iron about the fulcrum 2001.

[0036] Furthermore, the self - tilting counterweight 4 is set as a steel counterweight. In other words, the self - tilting counterweight 4 is made of steel, specifically, it can be made of ordinary carbon structural steel, so that the self - tilting counterweight 4 has a relatively large density and a relatively low material cost.

[0037] On the upper side of the ironing board 21, a first mounting post can be formed. A first screw can be set to pass through the base 1 from top to bottom and be screwed and fixed to the above - mentioned first mounting post. On the upper side of the base 1, a second mounting post can be formed. A second screw can be set to pass through the cover body 31 from top to bottom and be screwed and fixed to the above - mentioned second mounting post. As Figure 2 shown, the rib plate 1211, the inner cavity front wall 1212, the inner cavity bottom wall 1213 and the inner cavity side wall 1214 are integrally formed on the base 1. As Figure 2 shown, the base 1 forms an inner cover part 13. The lower end of the inner cover part 13 is integrally connected to the upper end of the front shell part 11. As Figure 6 shown, the inner cover part 13 communicates with the front shell part 11. Thus, a circuit board can be arranged inside the inner cover part 13. As Figure 2 shown, the inner cavity front wall 1212 is specifically formed at the rear end of the inner cover part 13, and the front end of the rib plate 1211 is integrally connected to the inner cavity front wall 1212.
