DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The switching device of the ironing machine includes a frame 1, a grooved track 2 is provided on the frame 1, a chain is provided on the grooved track 2, and sprocket structures 21 are provided at both ends of the grooved track 2. The sprocket is driven by a driving motor to realize reciprocating motion or circular motion of the chain.

[0020] Frame 1 is provided with a base, on which a rotating motor 19 is mounted. A pressing plate 4 is mounted on a rotating shaft 20 of motor 19. When motor 19 drives shaft 20, pressing plate 4 is moved downward about shaft 20. A steam pipe 6 is mounted on pressing plate 4, and steam is supplied from an external source.

[0021] An ironing section 3 is installed on the chain of the trough track 2. This section 3 includes several vertical rods 7 arranged between the upper and lower layers of the trough track 2. Each end of the vertical rods 7 is fixed to the chain, and the vertical rods 7 are grouped in pairs. A lower ironing table 8 is fixed to the lower end of each of the two vertical rods 7 in the same group. There can be multiple, different lower ironing tables 8. Preferably, there are three lower ironing tables 8.

[0022] The upper end of the vertical rod 7 is slidably provided with a steam iron 95 corresponding to the lower ironing table 8 in the vertical direction, and a spring 10 is provided between the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing table 8. The pressing plate 4 is pressed on the steam iron 95 when pressed down.

[0023] The pressing plate 4 includes a rear end 11, with an expansion portion 12 disposed in front of the rear end 11. A panel portion 13 is disposed at the front end of the expansion portion 12, and the panel portion 13 is provided with multiple perforations 14. The steam iron 95 includes a front end 15, with a contact portion 16 disposed above the front end 15. When the pressing plate 4 is pressed downward, the panel portion 13 contacts the contact portion 16, allowing steam to penetrate through the perforations 14. The contact portion 16 of the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing table 8 are conventionally covered with a fabric layer.

[0024] The outer ring of the pressing plate 4 is provided with a suction pipe 17, and a suction fan 18 is provided on the frame 1, and the suction pipe 17 is connected to the suction fan 18. The suction pipe 17 here is a conventional setting, and it is provided with a plurality of holes on the inner side for absorbing excess steam.

[0025] The cross section of the vertical rod 7 is rectangular, so that the left and right vertical rods 7 limit the steam iron 95 that is raised and lowered in the vertical direction to prevent it from deflecting.

[0026] When the switching device is used, the position of the chain is adjusted so that the shapes of the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing table 8 are adapted to the garment pieces to be ironed, and then the garment pieces are ironed.

[0027] The method for using the switching device of the ironing machine includes the following steps S1: Turn on the ironing machine and use the drive motor to drive the sprocket structure 21 to switch the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing table 8 to the corresponding position of the garment piece; S2: Place the garment piece on the lower ironing table 8, start the rotary motor 19, and press the panel portion 13 of the pressing plate 4 downward until it contacts the contact portion 16; S3: The steam pipe 6 is made to release steam to achieve ironing, wherein the steam release rate Q (kg / h) of the steam pipe 6 is related to the curvature of the lower ironing table 8 .

[0028] Let A be the projected plane area (m²), Fb be the basic steam flux (kg / (m²·h), Scurved be the actual area of the curved surface (m²), β be the curvature efficiency loss coefficient, and S be the safety factor.

[0029] The planar steam flux Fb needs to be measured in practice, which is the ratio of the steam required to iron the garment pieces to the area of the garment pieces.

[0030] The curvature efficiency loss coefficient β can be set to a slight curvature (β≈1.1 to 1.3), a moderate curvature (β≈1.3 to 1.8), and a high curvature (β≈1.8 to 3.0) depending on the curvature. Slight curvature is less than 5 degrees, moderate curvature is between 5 and 30 degrees, and high curvature is greater than 30 degrees.

[0031] Among them, the safety factor S is between 1.2 and 1.5.

[0032] Therefore, the steam release rate of the steam pipe 6 is specifically Q (kg / h) = A*Fb*(Scurved / A*β)*S.

[0033] S4: Remove the garment pieces from the lower ironing table 8 to complete the ironing.

[0034] The steam release rate Q of the steam pipe 6 is pre-set based on the shape of the steam iron 95 and lower ironing table 8, which are switched by the switching device on the ironing machine. The steam release rate of the steam pipe 6 is adjusted using conventional techniques. Specifically, when the ironing machine switches to the steam iron 95 and lower ironing table 8 for the corresponding garment part, the steam release rate of the corresponding steam pipe 6 is simultaneously switched. This synchronous switching of the steam release rate can be achieved manually or via a travel switch.

[0035] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed. However, as long as such modifications are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
