Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to ironing apparatus, and more particularly to an ironing apparatus for clothing consisting of an electric iron and a self-contained steam ironing board. Background Technology

[0002] Textiles are complex, multi-layered, multi-scale, and porous media. Under certain mechanical forces, textile fibers deform due to temperature changes. The process of fabric deformation in a humid and hot environment is called heat setting. Appropriate forces are applied to the fabric and it is heated to a certain temperature and maintained at that temperature. After a certain time, heating is stopped, and the fabric is rapidly cooled, allowing it to be quickly ironed and set.

[0003] Currently, electric irons used in homes or production facilities generally consist of an iron and an ironing board. Most irons include a casing, water tank, heating element, bottom ironing board, and steam button. The casing has a steam adjustment knob, which controls the heating element to vaporize water and spray it out through the vents (grooves) of the bottom ironing board, heating the fabric pressed under the board. The steam is then quickly absorbed by the steam-assisted ironing board underneath the fabric, smoothing it out. However, professional ironing boards are relatively expensive and take up a lot of space. Most homes and small clothing stores use simple ironing boards or ironing plates without suction functions. When ironing thicker or difficult-to-shape fabrics, the lack of timely heat exchange often affects the ironing results. Since a standalone iron has limited ironing effectiveness, it is usually used in conjunction with a specialized ironing board to complete the ironing process.

[0004] Ordinary ironing tables are not breathable. When ironing on such tables, water vapor easily condenses into water droplets, wetting the clothes being ironed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an electric iron that can immediately achieve heat-cold alternating shaping of fabric after it is heated when ironing fabric on an ironing board without a suction function.

[0006] The technical problem of the present invention is solved by providing an electric iron having the following structure: the electric iron includes: a shell, a water tank, a heating element, and an ironing plate, the ironing plate being divided into a heating front plate and a cooling rear plate, a heat insulation groove between the front plate and the rear plate, the rear plate having air inlet and outlet holes and a horizontal air inlet and outlet groove, an air inlet and outlet chamber above the rear plate, the air chamber being equipped with a DC fan (or an axial fan), and the rear end of the shell having air inlet and outlet holes.

[0007] As an improvement of the present invention, the housing handle is equipped with an air inlet / outlet switching switch.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the handle jet button is equipped with a synchronous air intake and exhaust start switch, the start switch is connected to a delay controller, and the delay controller is connected to a fan or axial flow fan.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the ironing table includes a box body with a cavity inside. The upper surface of the box body is provided with a number of ventilation holes, which penetrate the upper surface of the box body from top to bottom and connect to the cavity.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the upper surface of the box is covered with a layer of padding cloth, which is made of a breathable material.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, ventilation openings are provided at both ends of the cavity.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the right ventilation opening is provided with an air intake fan, and the left ventilation opening is provided with an air outlet fan.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the inner side of the upper surface of the housing is provided with fins relative to the ventilation hole, the fins are located on the right side of the ventilation hole, and the fins are arranged obliquely from right to left.

[0014] Compared with existing electric irons, the electric iron of this invention has the following advantages: Due to the addition of a cooling plate and fan, when ironing with a non-suction ironing board, the fabric receives immediate heat-cold conversion, resulting in a better-shaped and smoother ironing effect. Furthermore, the addition of a breathable ironing board allows steam to enter the cavity and then cool and escape, solving the problem of clothes getting wet during ironing and enabling rapid cooling and shaping of the garments.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of an ironing device, which includes an iron and an ironing board, and through their cooperation, completes the relevant ironing work.

[0020] The iron includes a housing 1. The front half of the housing 1 is the heating end, where the water supplied to the water tank 2 by the heater 3 is heated and vaporized by the air jet button 7 via the thermostat 6. The rear half of the housing 1 is the cooling end. The bottom of the housing 1 is a cooling back plate 16. Air inlet and outlet holes 14, longitudinal and transverse air inlet and outlet slots 15 are opened on the cooling plate. There is a heat insulation slot 9 between the cooling plate 16 and the heating plate 17. There is an air inlet and outlet chamber 13 above the cooling plate 16. A square heat exchange fan (or an axial flow fan 10 installed at the rear of the housing 1) is installed above the air inlet and outlet chamber 13. The air inlet and outlet holes 11 at the rear of the housing 1 and the fan 12 (or axial flow fan 10) are controlled to turn on and off by a fan power switch synchronized with the air jet button 7. The fan is also selected by a delay selection switch to ensure that the air jet button and fan switch are turned off when the iron moves forward slowly, so that the best section of fabric is cooled and shaped.

[0021] When ironing clothing fabrics using an ironing board without a suction function, press the iron onto the fabric and press the steam button 7 (or install a separate air inlet / outlet switch on the iron handle 18). Steam is ejected from the steam nozzles (grooves) 4 of the heating plate 17, heating the fabric and pushing it forward. After heating, the fabric is drawn into the air inlet / outlet 14 of the rear cooling plate 16 for heat treatment and shaping. For lightweight fabrics, the air inlet / outlet selection switch 8 can be used to select the blowing cooling function. The fan 12 (or axial flow fan 10) draws in cool air from the air inlet / outlet 11 and blows it out through the transverse air grooves of the longitudinal and transverse air inlet / outlet grooves 15 of the cooling plate 16, cooling and shaping the fabric.

[0022] In addition, the ironing table includes a housing 2, which has an internal cavity. The upper surface of the housing 2 has a number of ventilation holes 22, which extend from top to bottom through the upper surface of the housing 2 and connect to the cavity. A pad 23 covers the upper surface of the housing 2. Unlike existing ironing tables, the pad 23 used in this invention is made of a breathable material to facilitate air circulation.

[0023] Ventilation openings are provided at both ends of the cavity. An intake fan 25 is provided at the right ventilation opening, and an exhaust fan 24 is provided at the left ventilation opening. When both fans operate simultaneously, an air duct is created within the cavity to quickly expel air. Fins 21 are provided on the inner side of the upper surface of the housing 2 relative to the ventilation opening 22. The fins 21 are located to the right of the ventilation opening 22 and are arranged at an angle from right to left.

[0024] When this product starts working, the iron needs to be used from right to left. During ironing, steam is released. Due to the placement of the ventilation holes 22, and the fact that the lower end of the ventilation holes 22 is an air duct, the air flows from right to left due to the fan. Therefore, the steam is drawn into the air duct. Due to the fins 21 and the airflow, the steam cannot return through the air duct. Furthermore, cold air also enters the cavity through the ventilation holes 22. Due to the iron's design, the cold air is on the right and the steam is on the left. Inside the cavity, the airflow is from right to left. Therefore, the cold air cooling the clothes can lower the temperature inside the cavity after entering, condensing the steam into condensate and reducing the amount of steam discharged from the ventilation holes.

[0025] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. As long as the bottom of the iron is divided into a front heating plate and a rear cooling plate, and the front heating plate is directly heated, has its own water tank for heating, is heated by an external water tank, is heated by external steam, or the fan of the rear cooling plate is installed, all of these fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
