The hot water steam generated inside the boiler equipment continuously contacts the clothes and fabrics, softening the fibers of the clothes and fabrics. Ironing the clothes and fabrics smooths them out, making them look brand new.
[0003] Ironing boilers are essential equipment in industries such as garment manufacturing and textiles, and their steam quality directly affects ironing results and product quality. However, traditional ironing boilers often suffer from high steam humidity, leading to poor ironing results and even damage to clothing.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of the inability to adjust the steam humidity of traditional ironing boilers is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0031] 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.
[0032] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] The core of this invention is to provide an ironing boiler with adjustable humidity, which improves the ironing effect and extends the service life of the equipment by adjusting the steam humidity.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A humidity-adjustable ironing boiler includes a boiler body 1, a secondary heating device 2, a humidity sensor 3, a control panel 4, and a humidity adjustment knob 5.
[0035] Specifically, the boiler body 1 is used to heat water to generate steam, and the secondary heating device 2 is connected to the boiler body 1 and used to heat the steam. The steam heated by the boiler body 1 is heated again by the secondary heating device 2, so that the unvaporized water vaporizes into steam, thereby reducing the humidity of the steam, improving the ironing effect, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0036] A humidity sensor 3 is installed in the secondary heating device 2 and is used to detect the humidity of the steam inside the secondary heating device 2 in real time. The control panel 4 is connected to the humidity sensor 3 and is used to display the humidity value of the steam inside the secondary heating device 2. The humidity adjustment knob 5 is used to adjust the heating power of the secondary heating device 2. That is, the humidity sensor 3 detects the humidity of the steam inside the secondary heating device 2 in real time and feeds back the detected humidity information to the control panel 4, which is then displayed on the control panel 4. The operator observes the steam humidity information on the control panel 4. When the real-time detected humidity value is greater than the preset humidity value, the operator adjusts the heating power of the secondary heating device 2 by adjusting the humidity adjustment knob 5 to increase the heating power of the secondary heating device 2 and reduce the humidity of the steam. When the real-time detected humidity value is less than the preset humidity value, the operator adjusts the heating power of the secondary heating device 2 by adjusting the humidity adjustment knob 5 to decrease the heating power of the secondary heating device 2 and increase the humidity of the steam.
[0037] The entire boiler is mounted on a frame 21, which is equipped with an emergency stop button 22. When the boiler malfunctions, the emergency stop button 22 can be operated to stop the entire boiler from running, thereby enabling boiler maintenance.
[0038] The humidity-adjustable ironing boiler, designed in the above manner, precisely controls the steam humidity through the cooperation of humidity sensor 3, control panel 4, and humidity adjustment knob 5. This improves the ironing effect, reduces damage to clothing, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs, thus possessing high practical value and promising market prospects.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The secondary heating device 2 includes a dry-burning rod 21, an inner tube 22, and an outer tube 23. The dry-burning rod 21 is detachably installed in the inner tube 22. The inner tube 22 is sleeved inside the outer tube 23, and a closed interlayer space is formed between the inner tube 22 and the outer tube 23. The outer tube 23 is provided with a steam inlet 231, a steam outlet 232, and an interface 233 for installing a humidity sensor 3. Both the steam inlet 231 and the steam outlet 232 are connected to the interlayer space, and the humidity sensor 3 is located in the interlayer space.
[0040] It should be noted that the dry-burning rod 21 is powered on by the control panel 4, which heats the interlayer space and thus reheats the steam passing through the interlayer space to reduce the humidity of the steam. The humidity sensor 3 detects the humidity of the steam in the interlayer space in real time and sends the detected data to the control panel 4 in real time. The control panel 4 displays the humidity of the steam in the interlayer space in real time. When the detected humidity value of the steam is greater than the preset humidity value, the heating power of the dry-burning rod 21 is adjusted by the humidity adjustment knob 5 to increase the heating power of the dry-burning rod 21 and reduce the humidity of the steam.
[0041] A secondary heating device 2 is added at the steam outlet 232 of the boiler body 1. The secondary heating device 2 uses an independent dry-burning rod 21. The heating section of the dry-burning rod 21 is built into the inner tube 22, which is built into the outer tube 23. One end of the inner tube 22 is welded and sealed to the outer tube 23. The dry-burning rod 21 is installed on the inner tube 22 and reliably fixed to the inner tube 22 by a fixing device, ensuring the sealing performance of the secondary heating device 2 and improving its stability. When the dry-burning rod 21 is damaged, it can be repaired and replaced by disassembling it, making maintenance simple. The other end of the dry-burning rod 21 is connected to the control panel 4 and the power supply. The wet steam is heated in the interlayer space of the secondary heating device 2, causing the unvaporized water to be reheated in the interlayer space and vaporized into steam. When the humidity sensor 3 detects that the humidity of the steam in the interlayer space exceeds the set humidity, the humidity sensor 3 cuts off or reduces the heating power of the secondary heating device 2 through the control panel 4. This improvement solution can solve the problem of high humidity in traditional ironing boilers and improve ironing results.
[0042] In the above case, a water tank 6 is also included for supplying water to the boiler body 1. The water tank 6 is connected to the boiler body 1 via a water pump 7, and the water pump 7 is connected to the control panel 4 via a signal.
[0043] Understandably, the water pump 7 is controlled by the control panel 4 to pump the liquid water in the water tank 6 into the boiler body 1, and the heating wire in the boiler body 1 is energized to heat the liquid water in the boiler body 1.
[0044] Furthermore, the steam inlet 231 is connected to the boiler body 1 via a steam delivery pipe, and the steam outlet 232 is connected to the iron via a steam delivery pipe. The steam outlet 232 is equipped with a valve 8 for controlling the output steam flow rate. The iron is connected to the water tank 6, and the water tank 6 is equipped with a temperature-changing sticker 9 for detecting the water temperature inside the water tank 6.
[0045] It should be noted that the steam generated after the boiler body 1 heats the liquid water enters the secondary heating device 2 through the steam inlet 231 via the steam delivery pipe. The secondary heating device 2 is then heated in the interlayer space. The steam after secondary heating reaches the iron through the steam outlet 232 and the steam delivery pipe, and is used to iron clothes and other items.
[0046] Steam outlet 232 is equipped with valve 8 for controlling the output steam flow rate. By controlling the opening degree of valve 8, the steam flow rate in the steam delivery pipe is controlled.
[0047] In the above embodiment, the water tank 6 is provided with a preheating pipe 10 for heating the water in the water tank 6. The preheating pipe 10 is connected to the iron through a return steam pipe. The iron is provided with a return steam valve for controlling the steam flow in the return steam pipe.
[0048] Understandably, unused steam from the iron returns to the preheating pipe 10 inside the water tank 6 via the steam return pipe. The preheating pipe 10 then heats the liquid water in the water tank 6 to preheat it. The water tank 6 is equipped with a temperature-changing sticker 9 to detect the temperature of the water inside. The temperature-changing sticker displays the temperature of the liquid water in the water tank 6. When the temperature inside the water tank 6 is too high or too low, the opening of the steam return valve is controlled to regulate the degree of heating of the liquid water in the water tank 6 by the steam.
[0049] Based on the above embodiment, the water tank 6 is equipped with an automatic water supply valve 11 that is connected to the control panel 4 via a signal, and the water inlet is also equipped with a purification device 12 for filtering impurities in the water.
[0050] It should be noted that the automatic water supply valve 11 is controlled by the control panel 4 to replenish water to the water tank 6. The purification device 12 filters the liquid water entering the water tank 6, reducing scale formation, extending equipment lifespan, and lowering maintenance costs. In practical applications, a water level gauge can be installed on the water tank 6 to display the liquid water level, or a level gauge 13 can be installed to detect the liquid level in the water tank 6 in real time and send the detected water level signal to the control panel 4. The control panel 4 then controls the automatic water supply valve 11 to open or close, thereby achieving automatic water replenishment to the water tank 6.
[0051] In the above embodiment, the boiler body 1 is provided with a level gauge 13 for displaying the water level inside the boiler body 1.
[0052] It is understandable that a level gauge 13 is installed on the boiler body 1 to display the water level of the liquid water inside the boiler body 1.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the boiler body 1 is further provided with a water level electrode 14 for detecting the water level inside the boiler body 1. The water level electrode 14 is connected to the control panel 4 by signal, and the control panel 4 is connected to the alarm light 15 by signal.
[0054] It should be noted that the water level electrode 14 detects the liquid level in the boiler body 1 in real time and sends the detected water level signal to the control panel 4 in real time. The control panel 4 then sends a signal to the control panel 4 when the water level electrode 14 detects that the water level in the boiler body 1 has reached the highest or lowest water level. The control panel 4 then controls the alarm light 15 to sound an alarm, prompting the staff to stop adding water to the boiler body 1 or to add water to the boiler body 1.
[0055] In the above case, a pressure transmitter 16 connected to the boiler body 1 is also included. The pressure transmitter 16 is connected to the pressure controller 17 by signal. The pressure controller 17 is connected to the control panel 4 by signal. The control panel 4 is connected to the heating wire of the boiler body 1.
[0056] Understandably, the pressure transmitter 16 is a device that converts pressure signals into analog electrical signals. It can detect pressure changes within the boiler body 1 in real time and can also be used to adjust pressure parameters. The pressure controller 17 is simply a switching device; it triggers an alarm when the pressure is above or below a certain value. The pressure transmitter 16 detects whether the steam pressure within the boiler body 1 exceeds a preset pressure threshold. If so, the heating wire installed in the boiler body 1 is activated via the control panel 4 for heating.
[0057] In the above embodiment, the boiler body 1 is also provided with a pressure gauge 18 and a safety valve 19, and the bottom of the boiler body 1 has a drain port 20.
[0058] It should be noted that the steam pressure inside the boiler body 1 is detected by pressure gauge 18. When the electrical control device for controlling the steam pressure inside the boiler body 1 malfunctions, the pressure inside the boiler body 1 can be controlled by safety valve 19, thus ensuring safety. After the boiler body 1 has been used for a period of time, the blowdown port 20 can be opened to achieve the blowdown process.
[0059] In summary, the adjustable humidity ironing boiler provided by this invention achieves precise control of steam humidity through humidity sensor 3, humidity adjustment knob 5 and control panel 4, which improves the ironing effect and reduces damage to clothing. The ironing boiler has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is suitable for garment manufacturing, textile and other industries of various sizes.
