Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a blower-suction steam iron. Background Technology

[0002] A steam iron is a household appliance that uses high-temperature steam to smooth wrinkles, remove odors, and sterilize and kill mites in clothing. Unlike traditional electric irons, steam irons typically use steam for ironing, allowing clothing to be ironed while hanging naturally, avoiding direct pressure on the fabric surface and making them more suitable for delicate fabrics. A steam iron consists of a water tank, a steam boiler, a water pump, an ironing head, and a control system. The water pump draws purified water from the tank and delivers it to the steam boiler, which heats the water. The resulting steam is released through the steam vents on the ironing head, allowing the user to apply pressure to the clothing using the ironing head, ironing it through high temperature and pressure. The blow-suction steam iron is a type of steam iron that adds dual airflow control functions of blowing and suction to the traditional steam ironing function. This design significantly improves the ironing effect. The blowing system blows hot or cold air to the surface or inside of the clothes through a fan, while the suction system uses negative pressure to extract steam, moisture and excess heat from the clothes. This design can not only remove wrinkles from clothes with hot steam, but also quickly dry clothes and set their shape with cool air. Moreover, the suction function makes the ironing operation more convenient. Existing steam irons have limited functionality and are not convenient for suction and blowing air, which can easily cause clothes to become damp after ironing. Moreover, they are difficult to dry quickly and cool down after ironing, which reduces the efficiency and effectiveness of ironing clothes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a blow-suction type steam iron with multiple advantages. It solves the problems of existing steam irons, which have limited functions, are inconvenient for suction and blowing, easily cause clothes to become damp after ironing, and are difficult to dry quickly and cool and set after ironing, thus reducing the efficiency and effectiveness of ironing clothes. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a blow-suction steam ironing machine, including a housing, a steam boiler installed inside the housing, an ironing panel installed on the outside of the steam boiler, a steam port on the ironing panel, and the steam port being connected to the steam exhaust end of the steam boiler; The steam boiler is equipped with a fixed air outlet grille heating element, and a first micro motor fan is also fixedly installed inside the shell. The air outlet end of the first micro motor fan and the side opposite to the air outlet grille heating element are provided with an exhaust channel. The shell is equipped with an air intake return channel, and one end of the shell is provided with an air intake port that communicates with the air intake return channel. The air intake port is arranged around the ironing panel. The air intake return channel is connected to the air inlet end of the first micro motor fan. The first micro motor fan draws in air through the air intake return channel and the air intake port, and blows air through the exhaust channel and the air outlet grille heating element. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, the top of the housing is provided with an air outlet, and an air outlet duct is installed between the air outlet and the air outlet end of the first micro motor fan, and the first micro motor fan also exhausts air through the air outlet duct and the air outlet. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, a cover is fixedly installed on the surface of the housing, and the cover supports and fixes one end of the first micro motor fan. In a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, a circuit board is fixedly installed inside the cover, and a display panel electrically connected to the circuit board is installed on the outside of the cover, the display panel displaying the working mode. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, a handle is installed at the bottom of the housing, a miniature water pump is installed inside the handle, and a detachable water tank is installed at the bottom of the handle. In a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, the inlet end of the micro water pump is connected to the outlet end of the water tank via a hose, and the steam boiler is equipped with an inlet connector. The outlet end of the micro water pump is connected to the inlet connector via a hose, so as to transport the water inside the water tank to the steam boiler. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, a power cord is installed on the handle, and a control panel electrically connected to the power cord is installed inside the handle. The control panel is equipped with a power indicator light, a wind speed adjustment button, and an ironing adjustment button, which extend to the surface of the handle. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, the cover is provided with an air inlet, and a second micro motor fan is installed inside the cover. In a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, the second micro motor fan is located at one end of the first micro motor fan, and the air outlet of the second micro motor fan is connected to the air inlet of the first micro motor fan, thereby increasing the air volume of the first micro motor fan. As a preferred embodiment of the blow-suction steam iron of the present invention, an air intake duct is installed between the second micro motor fan and the air inlet, and the second micro motor fan draws in outside air through the air intake duct and the air inlet. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention significantly improves ironing and quick-drying efficiency by integrating a blowing and suction working mode. Its core lies in the first micro-motor fan creating negative pressure adsorption through the air intake surrounding the ironing panel, ensuring stable contact between the ironing panel and the garment surface. Simultaneously, the high-temperature airflow heated by the exhaust grille heater is blown out through the exhaust channel, achieving rapid drying of wet clothes. More ingeniously, some airflow overflows from the top exhaust port through an independent exhaust duct, forming an airflow balance design where "suction is greater than blowing force," which not only enhances adsorption stability but also prevents clothes from being blown off the ironing surface. Furthermore, by cutting off the power supply to the exhaust grille heater, a cool-air shaping mode can be switched, achieving integrated ironing-quick-drying-cooling shaping operation, greatly improving user experience and functionality. 2. This invention further optimizes the overall airflow system by adding a second micro-motor fan as an auxiliary air intake unit. The second micro-motor fan actively introduces fresh air from outside the cover and delivers it directly to the air intake end of the first micro-motor fan, effectively increasing the air intake pressure and flow rate of the main fan, thereby enhancing the heating and blowing intensity and suction force. This dual-fan collaborative structure not only solves the problem of insufficient airflow of a single fan under high load, but also makes the quick-drying and shaping process faster and more uniform, especially suitable for processing thick or large-area fabrics. Overall, this technical solution achieves a highly efficient, stable, and multifunctional ironing experience through the refined design of the airflow path and power system without significantly increasing the volume.

[0005] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-5 A blow-suction type steam iron includes a housing 1, a steam boiler 17 installed inside the housing 1, an ironing panel 3 installed on the outside of the steam boiler 17, and a steam port 4 opened on the ironing panel 3, which is connected to the steam exhaust end of the steam boiler 17. Furthermore, the steam boiler 17 is internally equipped with an exhaust grille heating element 5, and the housing 1 is internally equipped with a first micro motor fan 19. The exhaust end of the first micro motor fan 19 and the exhaust grille heating element 5 are provided with an exhaust channel 22 on the opposite side. The housing 1 is internally equipped with an air intake return channel 21. One end of the housing 1 is provided with an air intake port 2 that communicates with the air intake return channel 21. The air intake port 2 is arranged around the ironing panel 3. The air intake return channel 21 is connected to the air inlet end of the first micro motor fan 19. The first micro motor fan 19 draws in air through the air intake return channel 21 and the air intake port 2, and blows air through the exhaust channel 22 and the exhaust grille heating element 5. Furthermore, an air outlet 10 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and an air outlet duct 18 is installed between the air outlet 10 and the air outlet end of the first micro motor fan 19. The first micro motor fan 19 also exhausts air through the air outlet duct 18 and the air outlet 10. Furthermore, a cover 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the housing 1, and the cover 9 supports and fixes one end of the first micro motor fan 19. Furthermore, a circuit board 20 is fixedly installed inside the cover 9, and a display panel 11 electrically connected to the circuit board 20 is installed on the outside of the cover 9. The display panel 11 displays the working mode. Furthermore, a handle 6 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1, a miniature water pump 16 is installed inside the handle 6, and a removable water tank 7 is installed at the bottom of the handle 6. Furthermore, the inlet of the micro water pump 16 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 7 via a hose, and the steam boiler 17 is equipped with an inlet connector 23. The outlet of the micro water pump 16 is connected to the inlet connector 23 via a hose, so as to transport the water inside the water tank 7 to the steam boiler 17. Furthermore, a power cord 8 is installed on the handle 6, and a control panel 15 electrically connected to the power cord 8 is installed inside the handle 6. The control panel 15 is equipped with a power indicator light 12, a wind speed adjustment button 13, and an ironing adjustment button 14, which extend to the surface of the handle 6. The steam iron is connected to an external power source via power cord 8. When plugged in, it is not powered on. When ironing is needed, the user turns on the ironing adjustment button 14 to power on the machine. At this time, the power indicator light 12 lights up and flashes a red light to indicate that the steam boiler 17 needs to be preheated. The steam boiler 17 begins to preheat. During the preheating period, other components cannot work. When the preset time is reached, the steam boiler 17 has completed preheating, and other components are powered on in succession. When the steam boiler 17 is working, press the ironing adjustment button 14 to the micro water pump 16 turn-on position. The micro water pump 16 starts working and draws water from the water tank 7 into the steam boiler 17. The high temperature generated inside the steam boiler 17 vaporizes the drawn water. When the steam in the steam boiler 17 reaches a certain total amount, the steam in the steam boiler 17 is squeezed out to the steam outlet 4 by the pressure of the pumped water flow, thereby generating the rated amount of steam. The user places the ironing panel 3 on the clothes to be ironed. Through the steam and pressure discharged from the steam outlet 4, the clothes are ironed flat. The steam boiler 17 is preheated to prevent the micro water pump 16 from drawing water into the steam boiler 17 in advance if the temperature has not reached the set standard, thus avoiding the phenomenon of water spraying. When quick drying is needed after ironing, press the wind power adjustment button 13 to start the first micro motor fan 19. When the first micro motor fan 19 starts, it draws in outside air through the air intake return channel 21 and the air intake port 2, and discharges it through the exhaust channel 22 and the exhaust grille heating element 5. When the cold air passes through the exhaust grille heating element 5, it is heated by the exhaust grille heating element 5. The heated high-temperature air comes into contact with the clothes and dries them quickly. During the exhaust process, some air force in the exhaust channel 22 overflows through the exhaust duct 18 and the exhaust port 10 to avoid the suction and blowing force being the same. Through the design of strong suction and weak blowing force, the ironing panel 3 can adhere to the clothes, thereby assisting the user in drying. Moreover, the diameter of the exhaust port 10 can be controlled manually or electrically, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the blowing power at the exhaust grille heating element 5. When cooling and shaping are needed, the power supply to the exhaust grille heating element 5 is stopped, allowing the exhaust grille heating element 5 to discharge cold air to cool and shape the clothes. This invention adds a first micro-motor fan 19 and an exhaust grille heating element 5 inside the steam garment steamer. Utilizing the law of conservation of mass that air is drawn in and expelled accordingly, air is drawn in through the air inlet 2 and expelled through the exhaust channel 22 and the exhaust grille heating element 5. The suction force serves as an auxiliary adhesion force during the ironing action, which is more conducive to ironing fabrics. The blown air is more practical as a quick-drying heating air and a shaping cooling air. Moreover, the balance between the inhaled air and the blown air can be controlled by the air duct diversion design. Example 2 This embodiment is based on embodiment 1. Please refer to embodiment 1. Figures 1-7 This blow-suction steam iron has added a second micro motor fan 25 for auxiliary purposes, based on the first micro motor fan 19. Furthermore, an air inlet 24 is provided on the cover 9, and a second micro motor fan 25 is installed inside the cover 9. Furthermore, the second micro motor fan 25 is located at one end of the first micro motor fan 19, and the air outlet of the second micro motor fan 25 is connected to the air inlet of the first micro motor fan 19, thereby increasing the air volume of the first micro motor fan 19. Furthermore, an air intake duct 26 is installed between the second micro motor fan 25 and the air intake port 24, and the second micro motor fan 25 draws in outside air through the air intake duct 26 and the air intake port 24. The second micro motor fan 25 is activated by adjusting the wind power button 13. The second micro motor fan 25 draws in outside air through the air intake duct 26 and the air intake port 24 and discharges it to the air intake end of the first micro motor fan 19, thereby increasing the air intake of the first micro motor fan 19, increasing the air volume for drying and shaping, and improving the overall efficiency. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
