Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an ironing system in which the operating part is located on the ironing board. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing made of certain materials such as cotton or linen tends to develop many wrinkles after washing or everyday wear. Ironing is necessary to allow for repeated wear of such garments.

[0003] The most common way to iron clothes is to place them on a blanket or iron board on the floor and apply pressure while holding the iron. However, this method forces the user to sit on the floor or crouch, causing considerable inconvenience. Furthermore, since the iron operates on electricity, it is limited to use near walls with electrical outlets or similar fixtures.

[0004] In recent years, to solve this problem, ironing systems have emerged that raise the ironing board for attaching clothes to the user's waist, so that even if the user continues to iron, it will not put a burden on the body.

[0005] The existing ironing system disclosed in International Patent Application Publication WO02 / 090642A1 may include: an ironing board having a pressure surface for placing clothing; and support legs capable of supporting the ironing board.

[0006] The ironing board can be shaped like a board. A mounting section is provided on one side of the ironing board so that clothes or an iron can be placed on it.

[0007] The support leg can be configured to support the iron board at a predetermined height separated from the ground. The support leg may include: a first leg, which is attached to the lower end of the iron board 10; and a second leg, which is separated from the first leg by a predetermined distance and attached to the lower end of the iron board. The first leg and the second leg can be connected by a rotating connecting rod to intersect each other and be rotatable.

[0008] On the other hand, a base portion can be provided at the free end of the first leg and the second leg to keep the first leg and the second leg in contact with the ground.

[0009] The ironing system may also include a supply unit that supplies electricity or steam to the iron. The supply unit may be fixed to one side of the support leg.

[0010] The supply unit may include a power supply unit for supplying power to the iron, a water tank for supplying steam to the iron, and a steam supply unit. The supply unit and the iron can be connected by a connecting cable, thereby enabling the iron to be powered and supplied with steam.

[0011] The ironing system can support the iron plate at a predetermined height above the ground using the first and second legs. This allows users to iron while standing or without excessive bending of the upper body. Furthermore, since the iron can receive power by connecting to the supply unit, it offers the advantage of allowing users to configure the ironing system and perform ironing in a spacious area separate from the wall.

[0012] However, the ironing system presents the inconvenience of requiring the user to directly detach the first and second legs from the ironing board in order to use the system. For example, the user needs to unfold the first and second legs while holding the heavy ironing board, or unfold the first and second legs while the ironing board is flipped or upright, and then rotate the ironing board.

[0013] Furthermore, although the ironing board is much heavier than the support legs, it still needs to be positioned on top of the support legs, making it difficult for users to set up the ironing board. In particular, there is a risk that the ironing board may tip over and injure the user during the setting process.

[0014] Existing ironing systems can be reduced in size by attaching or folding the support legs to the ironing board. This offers the advantage of easy storage. However, there is a problem that the ironing system may tip over and break during storage. Specifically, if a supply unit is integrated into the support legs, the ironing system is more likely to tip over. Therefore, the ironing system has a fundamental problem in ensuring safety.

[0015] Furthermore, since the first and second legs may fold arbitrarily when moving on the floor, the base is designed to have high friction. Therefore, it presents a problem that the user may find it difficult to change the position of the ironing system while unfolding the first and second legs from the ironing board.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower end of the supporting leg needs to remain in contact with the ground.

[0017] As a result, ironing systems such as European Patent Nos. 2,474,661B1 and 2,169,108 have recently emerged.

[0018] The ironing system also includes a support body for attaching and securing the ironing board. The support body may be configured to fully support the ironing board on its front or upper surface and may have a sufficient cross-sectional area.

[0019] Therefore, as shown in the figure, the iron board can be fixed to the front of the support body without using the iron board, and the support body will not tip over even without additional measures.

[0020] In addition, the ironing system is equipped with casters at the lower end of the support body, so that the setting position can be changed freely at any time.

[0021] The following describes how to use the iron system.

[0022] A support leg is provided at the front or lower part of the ironing board to support the ironing board. The support leg consists of a first leg connected to the ironing board and a second leg separate from the first leg and connected to the ironing board, and can move by crossing the rotating connecting rod.

[0023] The rear end of the iron board can be slidably disposed on the front side of the support body.

[0024] Therefore, as the support leg moves forward, the ironing board can detach from the support body from its upper end and rotate at an angle. Simultaneously, the rear end of the ironing board can be lifted upwards relative to the support leg and slide towards the front. Ultimately, the ironing board can be positioned on the upper surface of the support body, or integrated with and fixed to the upper part of the support body. As described above, the ironing system allows the ironing board to be positioned while the support body is securely fixed, thus ensuring user convenience.

[0025] However, the ironing system has the following limitation: when reattaching the iron board to the support body, the user needs to lift both the support legs and the iron board simultaneously. In other words, to store the ironing system after ironing, the user needs to lift both the iron board and the support legs at the same time.

[0026] For example, if the user lacks sufficient strength when lifting the iron board and the support legs, there is a risk that the iron board and the support legs may suddenly drop, causing injury to the user. Additionally, because the center of gravity suddenly rises when the iron board and the support legs are lifted, there is also a risk that the support structure may tip over.

[0027] In addition, since the moving wheels of the iron system are fixed in one direction, the degree of freedom of the moving iron system is limited.

[0028] Furthermore, regarding the ironing system, the process of configuring and storing the ironing board is complex, which makes it difficult for users to be familiar with the installation process.

[0029] To address this problem, recent ironing systems include an ironing plate for mounting the iron, a support body for supporting the ironing plate, and casters for moving the support body. They also include a connecting portion that rotatably connects the ironing plate to the support body.

[0030] Because of the connecting part, the ironing system can omit the support legs that support the iron board. This provides the advantage that the user does not need to directly support the load on the iron board during setup or storage.

[0031] The iron board can be configured on the front of the support body such that its length direction corresponds to the height direction of the support body.

[0032] Additionally, the iron board can rotate at the connecting part.

[0033] The connecting part can rotate to the upper part of the support body, so that the iron board is positioned on the upper part of the support body.

[0034] Alternatively, the ironing board can be stored by performing the above process in reverse order.

[0035] As described above, the user only needs to provide the force to rotate the iron plate or the connecting part, thereby ensuring convenience.

[0036] However, the ironing system poses a risk that the support body may tip over to one side as the iron plate rotates in front of the support body.

[0037] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the support body is smaller than the area of ​​the iron board. Also, the length of the iron board is much greater than its width. Therefore, a problem arises where, if the user applies pressure to either end of the iron board while it is positioned on top of the support body, the entire ironing system will tip over.

[0038] In particular, since the iron plate is only fixed to the connecting part and there are no separate support legs to support the iron plate, the load applied to one side of the iron plate exerts a strong rotational torque on the support body in proportion to the length of the iron plate. Therefore, the ironing system has a fundamental structural limitation that makes it impossible to prevent tipping over.

[0039] Furthermore, since the connecting part supports the load of the iron board while allowing it to rotate and move, there is a problem that the iron board shakes during ironing.

[0040] In addition, since the load is concentrated on the connection part, the connection part is prone to damage.

[0041] In addition, since the moving wheels of the iron system are fixed in one direction, the degree of freedom for moving the iron system is still limited.

[0042] In addition, the ironing system also has the problem that when the load is applied to the ironing board, its position can change arbitrarily due to the moving wheels, which can lead to safety accidents.

[0043] In addition, the ironing system has the following inconvenience: when rotating the iron plate, the user must lower their body height, such as by bending over.

[0044] On the other hand, existing ironing systems have an operation section and a display section in the support body. Therefore, if the support body and the ironing board are combined at the center, it is inconvenient for the user to use the operation section and the display section. Summary of the Invention

[0119] The embodiments disclosed in this specification will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification, identical or similar reference numerals are used for identical or similar configurations, even in different embodiments, and the first description replaces the subsequent descriptions. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular expressions used in this specification include the plural expressions. Furthermore, in describing the embodiments described in this specification, detailed descriptions of relevant well-known technologies will be omitted if they are deemed to obscure the main idea of ​​the disclosed embodiments. It should also be noted that the drawings are merely for ease of understanding of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and the technical concept of the present invention should not be limited by the drawings.

[0120] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0121] The ironing system of the present invention may include: an ironing plate 100, on which clothing or an iron is disposed, or having a pressure surface capable of applying pressure to clothing; a support body 200, which is combined with the ironing plate 100 to support the ironing plate 100; and a base portion 300, which is disposed at the lower end of the support body 200 so that the support body 200 is placed on the ground.

[0122] The ironing board 100 may be configured in a board shape. The ironing board 100 may be configured with a length greater than its width. The ironing board 100 may include straight portions extending from the rear to the front on both sides, and inclined portions extending such that the thickness narrows from the end of the straight portions towards the front.

[0123] The straight section can form two sides with the length direction of the ironing board 100 as a reference, and the inclined section can form one end or the front with the length direction of the ironing board 100 as a reference. The user can use the inclined section to put on part of the garment and iron a specific area of ​​the garment.

[0124] Additionally, a sleeve plate groove may be provided on one side of the pressure surface of the ironing plate 100, which allows the sleeve plate to be inserted and positioned.

[0125] The support body 200 can be configured to have a height greater than its thickness or width. Therefore, the ironing board 100 can be set or positioned at or above an adult's waist height. This allows the user to iron while standing or without excessively hunching over when using the ironing system.

[0126] Additionally, the support body 200 can be configured to be height-adjustable. The method for adjusting the height will be explained later.

[0127] The support body 200 may include: a first support body 210, which is fixed to the base portion 300; and a second support body 220, which is combined with the first support body to be able to move along the first support body, and the iron plate 100 is provided at the upper end of the second support body 220.

[0128] Additionally, the second support body 220 may include a connection receiving groove that accommodates the connection portion described later and provides space for the connection portion to rotate.

[0129] The connecting part receiving groove can be provided at the upper end of the second support body 220 and provide space for the connecting part to rotate, thereby preventing the iron board and the second support body from interfering with each other.

[0130] On the other hand, the base portion 300 may include: a placement portion 310 disposed at the lower end of the first support body 210 and supporting the first support body; and a moving portion 320 protruding from the lower part of the placement portion toward the ground and placed on the ground, configured to enable the base portion to move.

[0131] On the other hand, the base portion 300 may also extend to the lower end of the support body 200. Alternatively, the base portion 300 may also be combined with the lower part of the support body 200.

[0132] The base portion 300 can be configured to support at least a portion of the load of the support body 200. The base portion 300 can be made of reinforced plastic material or elastic material. Thus, it can not only support the load of the support body 200, but also stably support external forces that may act on the pressure surface of the iron plate 100.

[0133] The base portion 300 can also be provided with an area corresponding to the lower cross-sectional area of ​​the support body 200. Therefore, even with the base portion 300 provided, it will not protrude from the support body 200, thereby maximizing aesthetics.

[0134] Additionally, as shown in the figure, the base portion 300 can be configured to have a larger cross-sectional area than the lower end of the support body 200, and extend along the ground at the lower end of the support body 200. Therefore, the base portion 300 can prevent the support body 200 from tipping over or overturning.

[0135] On the other hand, since the base portion 300 needs to stably ground the support body 200 to the ground, it can be made of a material with greater friction than the support body 200. However, if the base portion 300 has high friction, it may be difficult to move the ironing system.

[0136] The mounting portion 310 may be configured to have an area larger than the support body 200. This is to stably support the support body and the ironing board 100, thereby preventing the ironing system of the present invention from tipping over.

[0137] Additionally, the placement unit 310 may include a water supply unit 400 for storing water, and a steam generator 500 (see reference) disposed separately from the water supply unit in the placement unit 310 and generating steam by receiving water from the water supply unit. Figure 4 Therefore, it is preferable to provide a wider area to avoid hindering movement, given the limited space available for movement.

[0138] In addition, the moving part 320 is usually set as a wheel, but it can be used in any way, as long as it is a mechanism that can move the base part 300.

[0139] Additionally, it may include an iron 600, which is connected to the steam generator 500 (see reference). Figure 4 The device is connected to the steam generator and pressurizes the clothing by injecting steam while receiving steam from the steam generator.

[0140] The iron 600 can pressurize the clothing placed on the pressurizing surface and spray steam from the steam generator 500 (see reference). Figure 4 The steam received is used to remove wrinkles from clothing.

[0141] Additionally, a heater may be provided inside the iron 600 to directly heat the steam or the surface in contact with the clothing.

[0142] on the other hand, Figure 2 This is a diagram showing how to adjust the height of the ironing system of the present invention.

[0143] The iron plate 100 and the second support body 220 can be connected by the connecting part 130 to be able to rotate up and down.

[0144] Therefore, the ironing board can be rotated to be perpendicular to the ground, so that the ironing board 100 occupies less space in the storage state after ironing. That is, the storage state can refer to the case where the ironing board 100 is configured to be parallel to the support body 200 in the height direction.

[0145] In use, the ironing board can be rotated to be parallel to the ground to place clothing on the ironing board 100. That is, the use state can refer to the situation where the ironing board is located at an angle orthogonal to the support body.

[0146] Furthermore, the first support body 210 can be fixed to the mounting portion 310, and the second support body 220 can be configured to move up and down along the first support body. Thus, the iron board 100, which is connected to the second support body via the connecting portion 130, can be configured to move up and down together with the first support body, thereby allowing the height of the iron board to be adjusted for user convenience. The mechanism for the up-and-down movement of the second support body will be explained later.

[0147] Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the enclosure of the steam equipment that houses the iron and receives and ejects steam from the steam generator.

[0148] The steam generator 500 of the ironing system of the present invention can supply steam to the iron 600 or the steam device 600a. Thus, the iron or the steam device can be selected and used according to the user's convenience.

[0149] A cover 222 capable of accommodating the iron 600 or the steam device may be provided on the front or back of the second support body 220.

[0150] The cover 222 may be provided with a placement part for placing the iron 600 or the steam device.

[0151] Additionally, a steam line connection for supplying steam to the iron 600 or the steam device may be provided on one side of the cover 222; and a power line connection 224 for supplying power to the heater provided on the iron 600 or the steam device.

[0152] The support body 200 may include: a power supply unit that is connected to and capable of supplying power to the iron; and a steam generator 500 that is capable of supplying steam to the iron 600 or a steam device.

[0153] The power supply unit and the steam generator 500 can be located inside the support body 200.

[0154] The support body 200 may be provided with a power cord connection part 224 communicating with the power supply unit and a steam cord connection part communicating with the steam generator. The power cord connection part 224 and the steam cord connection part may also be integrated into one unit or provided on both sides of the support body 200, thereby avoiding interference with the ironing board 100.

[0155] In addition, the steam cord connection and the power cord connection 224 can be provided in the form of a corrugated tube to adjust their length, and can be detachably connected to the iron or the steam device.

[0156] Figure 4 This is a diagram showing the base portion 300 with the support body 200 removed.

[0157] The central portion of the base portion 300 may include a mounting portion 310 for accommodating the steam generator 500, the water supply portion 400, and the height adjustment portion 700 (described later); the outer contour may be provided with a first support body 210 in the form of surrounding the steam generator, the water supply portion, and the height adjustment portion (see reference). Figure 3 ).

[0158] The water supply unit 400 and the steam generator 500 can be separately arranged in the housing 310 and connected by pipes so that the water stored in the water supply unit can be supplied to the steam generator.

[0159] Additionally, the placement portion 310 may be provided with a height adjustment portion 700 that is coupled to the second support body 220. The second support body is configured to have a cross-sectional area larger than the first support body 210 to accommodate the first support body.

[0160] In addition, the height adjustment unit 700 may be composed of a first height adjustment body 710 and a second height adjustment body 720.

[0161] The lower end of the first height adjustment body 710 can be fixed to the mounting portion 310, and the second height adjustment body 720 can be accommodated inside the first height adjustment body. That is, the diameter of the first height adjustment body can be larger than the diameter of the second height adjustment body, the first height adjustment body can be provided with a hollow portion in the form of an internal hollow rod, and the second height adjustment body can be provided with a shape corresponding to the first height adjustment body.

[0162] With the second height adjustment body 720 inserted to the maximum extent into the first height adjustment body 710, the second height adjustment body can protrude more than the upper end of the first height adjustment body, and the protruding part can combine with the second support body 220 and move integrally with the second height adjustment body.

[0163] If the second height adjustment body moves up and down along the first height adjustment body 710, the second support body can also move up and down, and the iron board 100 combined with the second support body can also move up and down.

[0164] On the other hand, the second height adjustment body 720 may be provided with a lifting drive unit 810 that provides power to move the second height adjustment body up and down. The lifting drive unit may be in the form of a worm gear, but is not limited to this; any mechanism can be used as long as the rotary motion is converted into linear motion. Alternatively, it may be in the form of a piston and cylinder, as long as the first height adjustment body is fixed and the second height adjustment body can move up and down.

[0165] Furthermore, a plurality of height adjustment units 700 may be provided. By providing a plurality of height adjustment units, the support body 200 can be stably supported.

[0166] If a plurality of height adjustment units 700 are provided, a power transmission unit 820 may be provided to transmit the power provided by the lifting drive unit 810 to each height adjustment unit. By providing the power transmission unit, the plurality of height adjustment units can be adjusted to the same height, thereby preventing the iron board from tilting to one side.

[0167] on the other hand, Figure 4 The illustration shows a case where a height adjustment unit 700 is provided on each of the two sides of the mounting part 310, and the lifting drive unit 810 is provided on the second height adjustment body. However, the height adjustment unit may be provided as one or more, and the lifting drive unit may also be provided on the base part 300.

[0168] Figure 5 This illustrates a case where the lifting drive unit of the ironing system of the present invention is composed of a piston and a cylinder.

[0169] The support body may include a lifting support part 230, which is disposed at the lower end of the support body and supports the load of the support body. The support body may have a lifting drive part 810, which is combined with the back of the lifting support part and placed in the placement part 310, thereby changing the height of the support body.

[0170] The lifting support 230 may be plate-shaped and configured to support the load applied to the second support body or the second height adjustment body.

[0171] On the other hand, the lifting drive unit 810 can be configured as an electric cylinder and includes a cylinder barrel and a piston.

[0172] The lower end of the piston reciprocating inside the electric cylinder can reciprocate in a state of being inserted into the cylinder barrel, while the upper end can be combined with the load support 230 and reciprocate outside the cylinder barrel.

[0173] Therefore, if the piston reciprocates, the lifting support 230 supporting the second height adjustment part 720 or the second support body 220 moves up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the iron plate 100.

[0174] Figure 6 This diagram shows the movable part that enables the ironing system of the present invention to move.

[0175] The movable part 320 may be configured to protrude downward from the mounting part 310 and contact the ground, and the movable part 320 may be configured to support the load of the ironing system of the present invention. Additionally, the movable part 320 may be configured to move the ironing system of the present invention.

[0176] On the other hand, during the use of the ironing system of the present invention, external forces may be applied, and the moving part 320 may move, thereby compromising user safety. Therefore, it is necessary to fix it in place during use, rather than allowing it to move due to the moving part. To address this, the ironing system of the present invention may include a fixing part 330 that is configured to extend downwards from the lower part of the base.

[0177] The fixing part 330 can extend downward from the base part 300, protruding to the same length or longer than the moving part 320. Because the fixing part 330 generates friction in contact with the ground, it prevents the ironing system of the present invention from moving due to the moving part. Therefore, the portion of the fixing part in contact with the ground can be made of a material with a high coefficient of friction.

[0178] The fixing part 330 can be configured to be inserted into the base part 300 when the ironing system of the present invention is moved, and to protrude toward the ground when the ironing system of the present invention is used, thereby fixing the ironing system of the present invention.

[0179] A fixed drive unit 830 may be provided to provide power for extending the fixed part 330. The fixed drive unit may be provided in the form of a worm gear, but is not limited to this, and can be used in any manner as long as it can enable the fixed part to move up and down. The fixed drive unit may be driven or stopped by an operating unit provided on the support body 200 or the ironing board 100 and receiving instructions from the user.

[0180] Figure 6The illustration shows the fixing part 330 positioned adjacent to the moving part 320 and arranged in a number corresponding to the moving part, but it is not limited to this configuration. It can be positioned at any location, as long as it can secure the ironing system of the present invention. For example, it can be positioned away from the moving part. However, positioning it as close as possible to the moving part and in a number corresponding to the moving part may be more effective in securing the ironing system of the present invention.

[0181] Figure 7 This is a diagram showing how the position of the iron plate changes as it is rotated.

[0182] The iron plate 100 and the support body 200 can be configured such that the iron plate can be rotated via the connecting portion 130 provided on the iron plate. That is, the connecting portion is rotatably provided on the support body, thereby allowing the iron plate to rotate.

[0183] The ironing board 100 can be rotated to be placed side by side with the support body 200 to minimize the space occupied in the storage state. That is, in the storage state, the ironing board can be configured with the front end facing upward and the rear end facing downward.

[0184] The iron board 100 can be rotated in the stored state by moving its front end downwards to make it parallel to the ground. That is, it can be rotated so that the front and rear ends of the iron board are at the same height. At this time, the iron board can be supported in the width direction by the upper end of the support body 200, thereby supporting the external force applied when using the iron 600.

[0185] Furthermore, the ironing plate 100 can rotate in the left and right directions. This allows the support body 200 to support the ironing plate 100 along its length. If the ironing plate is rotated so that the support body supports it along its length, the torque caused by the external force applied by the user when using the iron 600 is reduced compared to when the ironing plate is supported along its width. This prevents the ironing system of the present invention from tipping over, thus allowing for more stable use.

[0186] On the other hand, since the clothes do not need to be pressurized when using the steam device, the iron plate 100 can be rotated so that the top surface faces the user, thereby improving user convenience. Therefore, a storage area for placing clothes can be provided on the side of the iron plate.

[0187] Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the connection portion located on the back of the iron plate.

[0188] The connecting part 130 can be disposed on the back of the ironing board 100 and connect the ironing board and the second support body 220.

[0189] The connecting portion 130 may include: a connecting body 131, which is supported on both sides of the connecting portion receiving groove 240 to be parallel to the second supporting body 220 in the width direction and rotatably coupled; a connecting shaft 132, the lower end of which is coupled to the connecting body so that the connecting shaft 132 rotates integrally when the connecting body rotates; and an iron plate rotating portion 134, which is disposed at the upper end of the connecting shaft and coupled to the back of the iron plate, and is configured to rotate about the connecting shaft as the rotation axis.

[0190] Furthermore, the connecting portion receiving groove can be located at the upper center of the second support body, one end of the connecting shaft can be coupled to the center of the connecting body, and the other end can be coupled to the center of the ironing plate. This reduces the torque applied to the ironing system of the present invention due to external forces, thereby preventing the ironing system of the present invention from tipping over.

[0191] On the other hand, the connecting body 131 can be configured in the shape of a rod to be supported on the upper end of the second support body 220 in the width direction and roll, and the connecting shaft 132 can be engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the connecting body, so that it can roll up and down by the rotation of the connecting body.

[0192] In addition, since the iron plate rotating part 134 can rotate up and down together with the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is connected to the back of the iron plate 100, the iron plate can also rotate around the connecting shaft as an axis.

[0193] Additionally, the connecting body can be hinged to the connecting portion receiving groove 240 provided in the second support body.

[0194] That is, the connecting body 131 can function as a rotating shaft that allows the iron board 100 to rotate up and down, and the connecting shaft 132 can function as a rotating shaft that allows the iron board to rotate left and right.

[0195] On the other hand, the connecting part 130 may include a rotary drive part 134 that provides power to rotate the iron plate 100.

[0196] The rotary drive unit 134 may be composed of a main drive unit 134a and a shaft drive unit 134b. The main drive unit 134a provides power to make the connecting shaft 132 rotate up and down by the rolling of the connecting main body 131, and the shaft drive unit 134b provides power to make the iron plate 100 rotate about the connecting shaft 132 as the rotation axis.

[0197] The rotary drive unit 134 can be disposed on the iron plate 100 and operated by the operation unit 110 that receives user commands.

[0198] Figure 9 This is a diagram showing the interior of the iron board.

[0199] An iron plate sensor unit 900 may be provided inside the iron plate 100 to measure the position of the iron plate by sensing the movement of the iron plate.

[0200] Specifically, the sensor unit 900 can sense the position of the iron plate by sensing the rotation of the connecting body 131 and the iron plate rotating part 133.

[0201] The iron plate sensor unit 900 can be composed of a gyroscope sensor and can be configured to tilt relative to the iron plate to determine whether the iron plate 100 is in a state perpendicular to the ground or horizontal, and whether it is rotating in a horizontal state. That is, the gyroscope sensor can be tilted to sense movement in various directions.

[0202] Therefore, the sensor support 920 for supporting the iron plate sensor 900 can be configured to be inclined relative to the iron plate, and the iron plate sensor can be placed in the sensor support.

[0203] In addition, in order to fix the position of the iron plate sensor 900 without rotating the iron plate 100, an elastic part 910 may be provided, which can contact the iron plate sensor.

[0204] That is, when the iron plate 100 rotates, the elastic part 910 moves due to external force, but when the external force is removed, the elastic part returns to its original state and contacts and supports the iron plate sensor part, so as to fix the position of the iron plate sensor part.

[0205] Additionally, a fan for reducing the temperature of the iron 600 may be provided inside the iron plate 100.

[0206] Figure 10 This is a diagram showing the appearance of the ironing system of the present invention.

[0207] The ironing board 100 can be combined with the support body 200 to rotate up, down, left, and right through the connecting part 130. The ironing board may include an operation part 110 disposed on the top surface of the ironing board and receiving user commands.

[0208] The operation unit 110 may be a touch panel and integrally formed with the display unit 120 that displays the status and information of the ironing system of the present invention. However, it is not limited to this, and the display unit may be set to be separate from the operation unit. Hereinafter, the description is based on the case where the operation unit and the display unit are each set separately.

[0209] Since the support body 200 is attached to the center of the back of the ironing board 100, the support body 200 can be covered by the ironing board 100 when using the ironing system of the present invention.

[0210] Therefore, if the operation unit 110 is located on the support body 200, it would be inconvenient for the user to input commands to the operation unit when using the ironing system of the present invention. Therefore, the operation unit and the display unit of the ironing system of the present invention can be located on the top surface of the ironing board and move integrally with the ironing board.

[0211] That is, although the display unit 120 and the operation unit 110 can be provided on the support body, providing them on the top surface of the ironing board 100 can improve user convenience.

[0212] Specifically, the top surface of the iron plate 100 may be provided with an iron mounting part that is separate from the pressure surface and can hold the iron 600, a display part 120 that is separate from the iron mounting part, and an operation part 110 that is separate from the display part.

[0213] Since the display of the display unit 120 is adjacent to the iron mounting part, there is a possibility that it will come into contact with the iron 600, so it can be made of heat-resistant tempered glass.

[0214] On the other hand, the operation unit 110 can receive commands to adjust the height of the iron plate 100, commands to rotate the iron plate, commands to extend the fixing part 330 to fix the moving part 320, etc.

[0215] Figure 11 This is a diagram showing the appearance of the iron installed in the ironing system of the present invention.

[0216] The iron 600 may include an iron body 610 that forms the appearance of the iron, an iron operation unit 620 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the iron body and receiving user commands, and an iron sensor unit 630 that senses the tilt of the iron body; the iron can be powered on or powered off according to the tilt sensed by the iron sensor unit.

[0217] The iron body 610 may be provided with a contact surface for pressing the clothes placed on the pressing surface of the iron plate 100 and a handle that the user can hold.

[0218] The contact surface can be made of a metallic material so that it will not be damaged even if the temperature rises due to the heating element located inside the iron body 610. Additionally, the contact surface can be provided with a spray section to spray steam supplied from the steam generator.

[0219] On the other hand, the iron control unit 620 can receive commands to adjust the temperature of the iron and whether or not steam is ejected. That is, the iron control unit can control the power supplied to the heating element or adjust the valve that controls the ejection of steam supplied from the steam generator. The iron control unit 620 can be provided on the handle so that the user can operate the iron while holding the handle.

[0220] Additionally, a heater can be installed inside the iron body 610 to heat the steam. This is to heat the steam remaining inside the iron body and immediately eject it through the valve.

[0221] Additionally, the iron sensor unit 630 can sense the tilt of the iron 600 relative to the direction of gravity. It is typically a gyroscope sensor, but is not limited to this.

[0222] Based on the tilt of the iron sensed by the iron sensor unit 630, the power supply to the iron can be cut off.

[0223] Specifically, if the contact surface is tilted to contact the iron plate 100, it can be determined that the iron 600 is being used, thereby maintaining power supply to the iron. That is, if the tilt of the contact surface is parallel to the ground, it can be determined that the iron is being used, and if power is being supplied, power supply can be maintained without interruption.

[0224] On the other hand, if the sensor detects that the contact surface is perpendicular to the iron plate 100, it can be determined that the use of the iron has ceased. If this state continues for a predetermined time, the power supply to the iron 600 can be cut off. The power supply to the steam generator and the display unit can also be cut off in the same way.

[0225] If the power supply is cut off, the operation of the heating element stops, the temperature of the contact surface can gradually decrease, and the valve that controls the steam injection to the iron is closed, thereby preventing steam injection.

[0226] Therefore, it is possible to prevent the iron from overheating or spraying steam when the iron is not in use, thus ensuring the user's safety.

[0227] Alternatively, the iron sensor unit 630 can be configured as a sensor that senses the movement of the iron 600.

[0228] If the iron sensor unit 630 senses movement of the iron 600, it can determine that the iron is being used and the power supply is not cut off. If it senses that the iron 600 is not moving, it can determine that the use of the iron has ceased and the power supply can be cut off after a predetermined time. The power supply to the steam generator and the display unit can also be cut off in the same way.

[0229] Figure 12 This is a diagram showing the screen displayed on the display unit when the iron automatically stops working due to inactivity.

[0230] As described above, if the iron sensor unit 630 determines that the iron 600 is not in use, the ironing process can automatically stop.

[0231] If the iron sensor unit 630 determines that the iron has not been used for a specified period of time, the display unit 120 may display a notification that the iron will automatically stop if the iron 600 is not moved or the iron operation unit 620 is not operated, indicating that the iron is about to switch to the cooling mode in order to expel the residual heat in the iron.

[0232] If a notification is displayed that the iron 600 will automatically stop and a predetermined time has elapsed, the display unit 120 may display a notification along with a notification that the power supply is about to be cut off, requesting that the iron be properly tidied up after the residual heat has been fully released, and then automatically stop after the predetermined time has elapsed.

[0233] The automatic termination of the iron 600 can mean that the power supply to the steam generator 500, the power supply to the display unit 120, and the power supply to the iron 600 are all cut off.

[0234] Figure 13 This diagram shows the state of the display unit and the steam generator, which change according to the positional changes caused by the rotation of the iron plate.

[0235] The ironing system of the present invention may further include a control unit that executes instructions based on signals received from the iron plate sensor unit 900.

[0236] When the ironing board 100 is in storage state S1, the ironing board can be set to be perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the display unit 120 can be in a state of waiting for a command to be input to the operation unit 110 to supply power. If a command is input, the display unit can output in portrait mode. The portrait mode can mean that the vertical length of the output image is longer.

[0237] In addition, the steam generator 500 can also be in a state of waiting for an instruction to be input to the operation unit 110 to supply power. If an instruction is input, power can be supplied to the steam generator. However, the iron 600 may not be usable in the storage state S1. Therefore, power can only be supplied to the steam generator if an instruction to use the steam device 600a is input.

[0238] Therefore, if the power supply of the ironing system of the present invention is input in the storage state S1 and the steam device 600a is selected, the display unit 120 can output the program selection screen of the steam device. If the iron 600 is selected, since the iron cannot be used in the storage state, a notification can be displayed to rotate the iron plate 100 to the use state S3.

[0239] The usage state can refer to the state in which the iron board is rotated to be parallel to the ground, and the support body supports the iron board along its length.

[0240] On the other hand, in the program selection screen, programs can be categorized according to the material of the clothing, such as wool / silk, cotton / linen, and rayon. In the case of a touch panel where the display unit and the operation unit are integrated, the program can be selected by swiping left or right. In the case where the display unit and the operation unit are separate, the program can be selected by inputting a command into the operation unit.

[0241] According to the program, the temperature, fan speed, etc. can be set differently, and the display unit 120 can display the temperature, fan speed, etc. of each program, and display a phrase describing the characteristics of each program.

[0242] If, in the storage state S1, the front end of the iron board 100 is rotated downwards so that the iron board is parallel to the ground, and the iron board is located in position S2 (hereinafter referred to as state S2) where the support body 200 supports the iron board in the width direction, then the display unit 120 can display a screen notifying that power has been supplied and the machine has been started. At this time, the display unit can output the screen in landscape mode. The landscape mode may refer to a screen with a longer horizontal length.

[0243] On the other hand, in the S2 state, the steam generator 500 may be in a state where power is cut off. If the iron is used to press down on clothes in the S2 state, the torque increases due to the external force, thus increasing the risk of the iron system of the present invention tipping over. Therefore, user safety cannot be guaranteed, and the power supply to the steam generator may be cut off.

[0244] Therefore, if the power supply of the ironing system of the present invention is input in the S2 state, and the steam device 600a or the iron 600 is selected, the display unit 120 can display a notification informing that the ironing board 100 is rotated to the usage state S3. The usage state may refer to a state in which the ironing board is rotated parallel to the ground and the support body supports the ironing board along its length.

[0245] The ironing board 100 can be rotated left or right from state S2 to a usage state S3 in which the support body supports the ironing board along its length. At this time, the display unit 120 can be powered on and display a notification screen indicating startup. The display screen can be output in a landscape mode. The landscape mode refers to a larger horizontal length of the output screen.

[0246] Additionally, the steam generator 500 can be in a state where it awaits a command input to the operation unit 110 to supply power; if a command is input, the steam generator can be powered. In the usage state S3, both the iron 600 and the steam device 600a can be used.

[0247] Therefore, if the power supply of the ironing system of the present invention is input in the usage state S1, and the iron 600 or the steam device 600a is selected, the display unit 120 can output the program screen of the iron or the steam device. The usage state may refer to the state in which the iron board is rotated to be parallel to the ground and the support body supports the iron board in the length direction.

[0248] If the ironing plate 100 is rotated downwards from the usage state S3 to state S4, power can be supplied to the display unit 120, or power can be cut off to the steam generator 500. This is because, similar to state S2, there is a risk of the ironing system of the present invention tipping over.

[0249] Figure 13 The illustration shows a scenario where the display unit 120, the steam generator 500, the iron 600, and the steam device 600a are controlled according to the position of the iron plate. However, it is not limited to this and can also be configured to allow users to input commands arbitrarily and operate the display unit, the steam generator, the iron, and the steam device.

[0250] Figure 14 This is an example of a screen displayed on the display when using an iron or steamer.

[0251] When using the iron 600, the ironing board 100 is positioned parallel to the ground. The user typically uses the iron from the side of the ironing board. Therefore, for the user's convenience, the display unit 120 can output in a horizontal mode.

[0252] That is, if the ironing plate 100 is parallel to the ground or if the operation unit 110 is input with an instruction to select the iron 600, the display unit can output in landscape mode. However, it is not limited to this, and the mode of the screen output by the display unit can be changed according to the user's convenience.

[0253] On the other hand, when using the steam device 600a, the iron plate 100 is located in a position perpendicular to the ground, and the user usually uses it in a position facing the top surface of the iron plate, so the display unit 120 can output in a vertical mode.

[0254] That is, if the ironing board 100 is perpendicular to the ground or the operation unit 110 receives an instruction to select the steam device 600a, the display unit 120 can output in portrait mode. However, it is not limited to this, and the mode of the image output to the display unit can be changed according to the user's convenience.

[0255] Figure 15 This is a diagram showing the screen displayed on the display unit when the ironing system of the present invention is powered on.

[0256] If power is input, the display unit 120 can display a notification guiding the selection of the language to be used in the ironing system of the present invention, or a notification guiding the selection of the screen orientation according to the user's convenience.

[0257] The notification regarding the selection of the language and screen orientation can be displayed each time power is input, but it can also be displayed only upon initial startup.

[0258] The orientation of the image displayed on the display unit 120 can change depending on the direction of the user's hand. For example, with the user's position as a reference, if the display unit and the iron are on the right, the image displayed on the display unit can be in the positive direction; if the display unit and the iron are on the left, the image displayed on the display unit can be in the negative direction. That is, the image output based on a right-handed user can be in the positive direction, and the image output based on a left-handed user can be in the negative direction.

[0259] Figures 16 to 20 This is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of the settings menu of the ironing system of the present invention.

[0260] Reference Figure 16The display unit 120 can display a setting menu that allows for changes to the settings of the ironing system of the present invention. Any setting in the menu can be selected by operating the operation unit 110.

[0261] Reference Figure 17 The user can select the option to adjust the height of the iron plate 100 from the setting menu through the operation unit 110. The display unit 120 can output a screen showing how to adjust the height of the iron plate in different stages, and the height of the iron plate can be adjusted according to the user's selection.

[0265] Figure 21 This is a diagram showing the display unit showing a notification to initialize the height of the iron board.

[0266] If the power supply to the ironing system of the present invention is cut off while the height of the ironing board 100 is being adjusted, and then the power is input again, the height of the ironing board can be adjusted back to its initial state, and the display unit 120 can display a notification indicating that the height of the ironing board is being initialized.

[0267] If the initialization of the height of the iron plate 100 is completed, the display unit 120 can display a notification indicating completion. If a specified time has elapsed or a confirmation notification has been selected, the program selection screen for the iron 600 or the steam device 600a can be output.

[0268] Although the height of the iron plate 100 can be initialized each time the power of the ironing system of the present invention is input, it is not limited to this. The adjusted height can also be fixed at a basic value without initialization.

[0269] Figures 22 to 23 This diagram shows the program selection screen and the program execution screen displayed on the display unit.

[0270] Reference Figure 22 In the program selection screen, the program can be divided into wool / silk, cotton / linen, rayon, etc. according to the material of the clothing. When the display unit and the operation unit are integrated into a touch panel, the program can be selected by sliding left or right. When the display unit and the operation unit are set separately, the program can be selected by inputting a command to the operation unit.

[0271] According to the program, the temperature, fan speed, etc. can be set differently, and the display unit 120 can display the temperature, fan speed, etc. of each program, and can display a phrase describing the characteristics of each program.

[0272] Reference Figure 23 The user can select any program from the program selection screen. If a program is selected, the display unit 120 can output a program execution screen.

[0273] The program's on-screen display can show notifications indicating the program's progress stage, as well as notifications regarding the temperature and fan status during the program's operation.

[0274] Notifications indicating the progress of the procedure may include: steam preparation in progress, steam preparation complete, molding in progress, and cooling mode.

[0275] In the steam preparation stage, the steam generator 500 generates steam by heating water. The steam preparation completion stage is when steam is supplied to the iron 600 or the steam device 600a and steam can be ejected when the valve is opened. The styling stage is when clothes are managed by ejecting steam or pressurizing the clothes. The cooling stage is when the air fan installed on the ironing board is driven after the clothes management is completed to reduce the temperature of the iron or the steam device.

[0276] On the other hand, during the program selection screen or the program execution screen, changing the temperature set in the program can be prohibited. This is to prevent damage to clothing. However, instead of a pre-set program, a free-adjustment program configured for user control can be included, in which the temperature can be adjusted.

[0277] This invention can be modified in various forms, therefore the scope of protection is not limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, if a modified embodiment includes elements of the present claims, it is considered to fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
