The unlocking component includes an unlocking slider 230 fixed on the unlocking end of the locking pin 220, and an unlocking swing block 240 sleeved on the pin seat 250. A pin-removing structure for mutual cooperation is arranged on the unlocking slider 230 and the unlocking swing block 240. A waist-shaped hole 243 is formed on the unlocking swing block 240, and a force-applying column 262 inserted into the waist-shaped hole 243 is arranged on the toggle button 260.

[0045] The pin-removing structure includes a first pin-removing lobe 231 formed on the unlocking slider 230 and a second pin-removing lobe 241 formed on the unlocking swing block 240. A force-receiving inclined wall is formed on the first pin-removing lobe 231, and a force-applying inclined wall is formed on the second pin-removing lobe 241. The force-receiving inclined wall is attached to the force-applying inclined wall. The force-applying inclined wall and the force-receiving inclined wall can convert the swing of the unlocking swing block 240 into the sliding of the unlocking slider 230. The unlocking slider 230 drives the locking pin 220 to retreat to the unlocking position to achieve unlocking. A spring for resetting the locking pin 220 and keeping it in the locking position is also assembled in the pin seat 250.

[0046] The unlocking slider 230 includes an end cover 232. A through hole 233 for the locking pin 220 to pass through is formed in the center of the end cover 232. A plurality of first pin-removing lobes 231 are provided and are evenly spaced along the inner peripheral edge of the end cover 232. A first fitting notch is formed between two adjacent first pin-removing lobes 231. The unlocking swing block 240 includes a pin-removing part and a swing arm 242 formed on the outside of the pin-removing part. The waist-shaped hole 243 is formed on the swing arm 242. A rotating hole 244 sleeved on the pin seat 250 is formed in the pin-removing part. A plurality of second pin-removing lobes 241 are provided and are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the rotating hole 244. A second fitting notch is formed between two adjacent second pin-removing lobes 241. The first pin-removing lobes 231 and the second pin-removing lobes 241 correspond to each other one by one, and the first pin-removing lobes 231 are fitted in the corresponding second fitting notches, and the second pin-removing lobes 241 are fitted in the corresponding first fitting notches. A plurality of first pin-removing lobes 231 and second pin-removing lobes 241 are provided and are mutually fitted, which improves the cooperation degree between the unlocking swing block 240 and the unlocking slider 230, and makes unlocking more labor-saving and reliable.

[0047] The pin seat 250 includes a fixed seat 251 and an assembly post 252 formed on one side of the fixed seat 251. The locking pin 220 is inserted into the assembly post 252, and a strip 253 extending along its axial direction protrudes from the outer wall of the assembly post 252. A collar sleeving the end of the assembly post is formed on the unlocking slider 230. The collar is formed inside the first pin-retracting flap 231, and a clamping groove 234 cooperating with the strip 253 is formed on the collar. The cooperation between the strip 253 and the clamping groove 234 can guide the sliding of the unlocking slider 230 and improve the accuracy of the pin-retracting and unlocking operation.

[0048] The clamping seat 210 is provided with a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove. When the locking end of the locking pin 220 is clamped in the first clamping groove, the ironing platform is locked in the flat position. When the locking end of the locking pin 220 is clamped in the second clamping groove, the ironing platform is locked in the storage position. The knob 260 includes a knob block 261. The knob block 261 is externally disposed outside the machine base, and an indented groove is formed on the knob block 261 to facilitate the application of force. The force-applying post 262 is disposed at the upper end of the knob block 261 and extends toward the inside of the machine base and is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 243. When it is necessary to change the position of the ironing platform, the knob 260 is toggled. The force-applying post 262 acts on the waist-shaped hole 243, causing the unlocking swing block 240 to swing. The second pin-retracting flap 241 of the unlocking swing block 240 acts on the first pin-retracting flap 231 of the unlocking slider 230, causing the unlocking slider 230 to slide backward. The unlocking slider 230 drives the locking pin 220 to slide from the locking position to the unlocking position, and its locking end disengages from the first clamping groove or the second clamping groove. The ironing platform can then be freely flipped. When the ironing platform is flipped to the target position, the knob 260 is released. The locking pin 220 is reset to the locking position under the action of the spring, and its locking end is clamped in the first clamping groove to lock the ironing platform in the flat position, or its locking end is clamped in the second clamping groove to lock the ironing platform in the storage position. The unlocking slider 230 is reset under the drive of the locking pin 220 and acts on the unlocking swing block 240 to reset it.

[0049] See Figure 3 、 Figure 10 - Figure 15 A water storage tank is assembled on the machine base. The water storage tank includes a tank body 310. A water inlet 311 is formed at the top of the tank body 310, and a cover body 340 is sealed on the water inlet 311.

[0050] The bottom of the box body 310 is provided with a docking seat for docking with the water inlet pipeline of the ironing machine. The docking seat includes an outer peripheral wall 3171 protruding from the bottom of the box body 310 and an inner peripheral wall 3172 located inside the outer peripheral wall 3171. The outer peripheral wall 3171 and the inner peripheral wall 3172 are coaxially arranged. An abutting core 3173 is provided inside the inner peripheral wall 3172, and a water outlet hole 318 is provided between the abutting core 3173 and the inner peripheral wall 3172. A docking head 320 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall 3171, and a docking pipe 321 capable of communicating with the water outlet hole 318 is provided on the docking head 320. An assembly cavity is formed between the docking seat and the docking head 320, and a self-sealing component is assembled in the assembly cavity. The self-sealing component can block the water passage between the water outlet hole 318 and the docking pipe 321 without external force.

[0051] The self-sealing component includes an assembly core 331 slidably arranged in the assembly cavity. A compression spring 332 is assembled on the assembly core 331. The upper end of the compression spring 332 acts on the abutting core 3173, and the lower end of the compression spring 332 acts on the assembly core 331, and always provides a downward tendency force for the assembly core 331. A first sealing ring 333 capable of sealing the water inlet end of the docking pipe 321 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the assembly core 331. The assembly core 331 includes a central rod 3311. An assembly seat 3312 for assembling the compression spring 332 is provided on the upper part of the central rod 3311. Four abutting blocks 3313 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the assembly seat 3312, and claw-shaped projections 3314 for clamping the ends of the compression spring 332 are formed at the tops of two opposite abutting blocks 3313 to improve the assembly stability of the compression spring 332. A limiting seat is formed in the middle of the central rod 3311, and the first sealing ring 333 is limited between the assembly seat 3312 and the limiting seat. The above settings can all improve the self-sealing reliability of the self-sealing component. To further improve the water tightness of the water storage tank, a second sealing ring is assembled between the docking head 320 and the docking seat. When water needs to be added, just remove the water storage tank. At this time, the water passage between the water storage hole and the docking pipe 321 is cut off, and water will not flow out. After the water injection is completed, install the water storage tank on the installation seat of the machine base. The docking head 320 is communicated with the water inlet pipeline of the machine base, and a push rod capable of inserting into the docking pipe 321 is provided on the water inlet pipeline. After the water storage tank is installed in place, the push rod abuts against the central rod 3311 of the assembly core 331. The assembly core 331 drives the first sealing ring 333 to move upward under the pressure of the compression spring 332, and the water passage between the water storage hole and the docking pipe 321 is communicated. The water storage tank is communicated with the water inlet pipeline through the docking head 320.

[0052] The cover body 340 is hinged to the top of the box body 310 through a quick-installation structure. The quick-installation structure includes a hinge column 341 formed at the end of the cover body 340 and a quick-installation groove 314 formed at the top of the box body 310. The hinge column 341 has a straight wall 3411 and an arc wall 3412. The quick-installation groove 314 includes a through groove 3141 and a hinge groove 3142 that are communicated. The through groove 3141 is located above the hinge groove 3142. The hinge column 341 can slide through the through groove 3141 at a specific angle to enter and exit the hinge groove 3142, and can rotate in the hinge groove 3142 to realize the opening and closing of the cover body 340. Specifically, the hinge column 341 is a semi-cylindrical body with a semi-circular longitudinal section. The through groove 3141 is a strip-shaped groove that penetrates up and down, and the groove width of the through groove 3141 is adapted to the radius of the hinge column 341. The hinge groove 3142 is an arc groove, and the maximum groove width of the arc groove is adapted to the diameter of the hinge column 341. There are two hinge columns 341 and two quick-installation grooves 314. When assembling the cover body 340, the hinge column 341 slides through the through groove 3141 at a specific angle to enter the hinge groove 3142. At this time, the straight wall 3411 of the hinge column 341 is in a vertical state. After the hinge column 341 enters the hinge groove 3142, rotate the cover body 340 so that the arc wall 3412 of the hinge column 341 abuts against the groove wall of the hinge groove 3142, and the hinge column 341 and the hinge can realize rotational cooperation.

[0053] A first sunken groove 312 is provided at the top of the box body 310. The cover body 340 is accommodated in the first sunken groove 312 in the closed state. The water inlet 311 is opened at the bottom of the first sunken groove 312. The quick-installation groove 314 is opened at the upper edge of the side wall of the first sunken groove 312. The setting of the first sunken groove 312 can make the structure of the entire water storage tank more compact and facilitate the cooperation between the hinge column 341 and the quick-installation groove 314. A buckle portion 342 is formed at the end of the cover body 340 away from the hinge column 341. A buckle portion 315 is formed at one end of the first sunken groove 312 away from the quick-installation groove 314. The buckle portion 342 and the buckle portion 315 are formed with a mutually cooperating clamping structure to limit the cover body 340 in the closed state. Specifically, the clamping structure is a card rib formed on the buckle portion 342 and an embedded groove formed on the buckle portion 315.
