[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention and to more clearly define the scope of protection of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present invention, and are merely a part of the embodiments of the present invention. The specific and direct descriptions of related structures are only for the convenience of understanding the present invention, and the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of the present invention. Conventional choices and substitutions made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 , Figures 8-12 As shown, this invention discloses a multifunctional handheld steam iron, comprising: Handheld component 1, which includes a first handheld part 11 on the right and a second handheld part 12 on the left, wherein the first handheld part 11 and the second handheld part 12 are hinged together; Ironing assembly 2 includes a first ironing structure 21 for clamping ironing and a second ironing structure 22 for flat ironing and / or hanging ironing. The first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 212 of the first ironing structure 21 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first handheld member 11 and the second handheld member 12. The second ironing structure 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the handheld assembly 1. In this embodiment, the second ironing structure 22 is disposed at the bottom of the handheld assembly 1. In other embodiments, the second ironing structure 22 can also be disposed on the left and right sides of the handheld assembly 1. The first ironing structure 21 is provided with a first steam outlet 2111, and the second ironing structure 22 is provided with a second steam outlet 2211. Steam system 3 is installed on handheld component 1. Steam system 3 includes water tank 31, water pump 32, air inlet channel 333, first air outlet channel 331 and second air outlet channel 332. The first air outlet channel 331 is connected to the first steam outlet 2111, and the second air outlet channel 332 is connected to the second steam outlet 2211. Water pump 32 pushes water from water tank 31 into air inlet channel 333 and heats it in air inlet channel 333 to form steam. The switching structure 4 includes a mechanical knob 41, a locking member 42, and an airway switching member 43 mounted on the handheld component 1. The mechanical knob 41 is driven to move the locking member 42 and the airway switching member 43 in conjunction with each other to achieve the switching between the first and second use states. In the first use state, the first hand-held part 11 and the second hand-held part 12 can rotate relative to each other, and the airway switching part 43 connects the air inlet channel 333 and the first air outlet channel 331, and cuts off the air inlet channel 333 and the second air outlet channel 332. In the second usage state, the locking member 42 fixes the first hand-held member 11 and the second hand-held member 12, and the airway switching member 43 connects the air inlet channel 333 and the second air outlet channel 332, and cuts off the air inlet channel 333 and the first air outlet channel 331.

[0024] Therefore, 1. When ironing is required, the switching structure 4 is operated to switch to... Figure 2 In the first usage state shown, the first handpiece 11 and the second handpiece 12 can rotate relative to each other. When the first handpiece 11 and the second handpiece 12 separate, the garment to be ironed (collar, cuffs, trouser seams, etc.) is placed between the first handpiece 11 and the second handpiece 12. Then, the first handpiece 11 and the second handpiece 12 can be driven to move closer together, allowing the garment to be ironed under the action of the first ironing structure 21. 2. When flat ironing and / or hanging ironing are required, the switching structure 4 is operated to switch to... Figure 3In the second usage state shown, the first handheld component 11 and the second handheld component 12 are relatively fixed, making the grip of the handheld component 1 more stable. In addition, the second ironing structure 22 is located outside the handheld component 1, allowing the second ironing structure 22 to be brought close to or in contact with the clothes to be ironed. Under the action of the second ironing structure 22, the clothes are ironed flat and / or hung ironed. 3. The switching structure 4 uses the movement of the mechanical knob 41 to link the locking component 42 and the air passage switching component 43, so that the locking component 42 can be used to lock and unlock the first handheld component 11 and the second handheld component 12, while the air passage switching component 43 can connect the air inlet channel 333 with one of the first air outlet channel 331 and the second air outlet channel 332. Only by operating the mechanical knob 41, the locking of the machine body and the switching of the steam air passage can be realized synchronously, making the operation more convenient.

[0025] In summary, this embodiment has the following advantages: 1. High functional integration: It integrates two ironing modes—clamping ironing, flat ironing, and / or hanging ironing—on a single ironing machine. It can clamp and shape local areas such as collars, cuffs, and trouser seams, and also efficiently remove wrinkles from large areas of clothing, covering all scenarios of home clothing care. It eliminates the need for multiple devices, reducing usage costs and storage space. 2. Rigorous linkage switching logic: A single mechanical knob 41 synchronously drives whether the handheld component 1 is locked and switches the steam duct. Whether the handheld component 1 is locked in the first and second usage states. It always corresponds one-to-one with the steam passage, avoiding the problems of mode mismatch and steam leakage from the structural level. It has strong safety and stability. The mode switching is achieved by mechanical structure throughout the process. There are no easily damaged components such as electronic control valves and sensors. It can be adapted to the high temperature and high humidity working environment of ironing equipment. It is not prone to component aging and failure, and the service life of the whole machine is longer. 3. The grip experience is optimized. The first hand holding part 11 and the second hand holding part 12 are horizontally hinged. The direction of the pinching force is consistent with the natural force exertion habit of the hand, making the ironing operation more comfortable and less likely to cause hand fatigue during long-term use.

[0026] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, specifically, the first hand-held component 11 includes a rear first hand-held segment 111 and a front first ironing part 112. Correspondingly, the second hand-held component 12 includes a rear second hand-held segment 121 and a front second ironing part 122. The length directions of the first hand-held segment 111 and the second hand-held segment 121 are both along the front-back direction. The rear ends of the first hand-held segment 111 and the second hand-held segment 121 are hinged. Specifically, the rear end of the first hand-held segment 111 has a hinge cavity 51 opening to the left, and the rear end of the second hand-held segment 121 has a hinge part 52 protruding to the right. The hinge part 52 extends into the hinge cavity 51 and is hinged by inserting a vertically extending hinge rod 53. In addition, a torsion spring is sleeved on the hinge rod 53 as a reset member 54. The reset member 54 abuts against the first hand-held segment 111 and the second hand-held segment 121 respectively, so that the first ironing part 112 and the second ironing part 122 are reset to the left and right directions under the action of the reset member 54.

[0027] Therefore, the "tail hinge, front working" clamp structure is adopted to form a force-saving lever, making it easier to apply ironing force; the reset part 54 can automatically pop open the first ironing part 112 and the second ironing part 122 after the grip is released, without the need to manually pry them apart, making the single ironing action more continuous and significantly improving ironing efficiency; in addition, the gripping area and the ironing working area are clearly separated, and the high-temperature steam and heating structure are concentrated in the front ironing part, resulting in a low temperature rise in the gripping area and higher safety in use.

[0028] Combination Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the second ironing structure 22 is disposed at the bottom of the first ironing part 112 and the second ironing part 122; wherein, the bottom of the first ironing part 112 is lower than the bottom of the first hand-held member 11, and the bottom of the second ironing part 122 is lower than the bottom of the second hand-held member 12; and the second ironing structure 22 is disposed at an angle that faces forward and upward.

[0029] Therefore, the bottoms of the first ironing section 112 and the second ironing section 122 are both lower than the bottoms of the first hand-held section 111 and the second hand-held section 121, forming a height difference so that the palm of the hand does not come into contact with the clothing when holding it. During flat ironing and / or hanging ironing, only the second ironing structure 22 comes into contact with the clothing. The first hand-held section 111, the second hand-held section 121, and the palm will not scratch or snag the fabric, making the ironing process smoother. In addition, the inclined setting of the second ironing structure 22 matches the operating angle of the wrist when hand-held ironing, so that the ironing board can completely fit the surface of the clothing, the ironing force is more even, the wrinkle removal effect is better, and it also further ensures that the palm does not come into contact with the clothing.

[0030] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 13As shown, preferably, the second ironing structure 22 includes a first ironing plate 221 disposed at the bottom of the first ironing part 112 and a second ironing plate 222 disposed at the bottom of the second ironing part 122, and a second steam outlet 2211 disposed on the first ironing plate 221; wherein, the lowest position of the bottom surface of the first ironing plate 221 is lower than the lowest position of the bottom surface of the second ironing plate 222, such that when the bottom surface of the first ironing plate 221 is horizontal, the horizontal height of the bottom surface of the first ironing plate 221 is lower than the horizontal height of the bottom surface of the second ironing plate 222.

[0031] Preferably, the first ironing board 221 is inclined upward from left to right.

[0032] Therefore, 1. The bottom surface of the first ironing board 221 is lower, serving as the core working surface for flat ironing and / or hanging ironing, while the second ironing board 222 does not directly contact the clothing, avoiding ironing marks left after ironing due to simultaneous contact of both board surfaces; 2. The second ironing board 222, due to its higher temperature, also provides heat during the ironing process, improving the ironing effect; 3. The design of the first ironing board 221, with its lower left side and higher right side, ensures that during flat ironing, the first ironing board 221 adheres to the clothing, further preventing the second ironing board 222 from contacting the clothing.

[0033] like Figures 8-10 As shown, preferably, the mechanical knob 41, the locking member 42 and the airway switching member 43 are fixedly connected, and the mechanical knob 41 is slidably mounted on the first hand-held member 11 in the front-back direction.

[0034] Therefore, the mechanical dial 41, locking component 42, and airway switching component 43 are fixed as one unit. When the mechanical dial 41 slides, it can simultaneously drive the body locking and airway switching. The action is without delay or misalignment, and the mode switching accuracy is high. In addition, the linear sliding switching structure 4 has fewer parts, simple assembly process, low production cost, and convenient maintenance. Furthermore, the linear dial has a clear sliding stroke and clear gear feel, allowing users to intuitively perceive the mode switching status and making it less likely to have problems with improper operation.

[0035] Preferably, a locking hole 44 is provided through the rear side of the second ironing part 122 in the front-back direction. During the forward movement of the mechanical dial 41, it changes from the first use state to the second use state, so that the locking member 42 slides forward and is inserted into the locking hole 44. In the second use state, the length direction of the first hand-held member 11 and the length direction of the second hand-held member 12 are both in the front-back direction.

[0036] Therefore, the locking mechanism using locking member 42 and locking socket 44 can completely restrict the relative rotation of the first hand-held member 11 and the second hand-held member 12, so that the hand-held component 1 will not open or close accidentally during flat ironing and / or hanging ironing, and the stability of use is strong. After locking, the first hand-held member 11 and the second hand-held member 12 are arranged in parallel, so that the hand-held component 1 is in the shape of a straight rod, which is comfortable to hold. Not only is the force on the board surface even during flat ironing, but it is also easy to control the angle during hanging ironing. Moreover, the first ironing structure 21 is clamped and cannot be touched, thus ensuring safety.

[0037] Specifically, the steam system 3 also includes a guide member 33 and an air duct member 34 located within the first ironing section 112. An air inlet channel 333, a first air outlet channel 331, and a second air outlet channel 332 are all disposed on the guide member 33. The air duct member 34 is fixed to the guide member 33 using snap-fit, screw, or other fixing methods. The air duct member 34 has a sliding channel 344 extending in the front-to-back direction, and a first mating hole 341, an air inlet mating hole 343, and a second mating hole 342 arranged from front to back on the left side wall of the sliding channel 344. The air inlet mating hole 343 communicates with the air inlet channel 333, the first mating hole 341 communicates with the first air outlet channel 331, and the second mating hole 342 communicates with the second air outlet channel 332. The rear end of the sliding channel 344 is open, allowing the air duct switching member 43 to be inserted into the sliding channel 344 from back to front and slide to engage with the air duct member 34. The front end of the air duct switching member 43 is provided with… A first sealing part 431 and a second sealing part 432 are provided in the middle. Both the first sealing part 431 and the second sealing part 432 are provided with sealing rings on their outer peripheries, so that the sealing rings deform and fit against the inner peripheral wall of the sliding channel 344 to seal. In the first use state, the first sealing part 431 is located between the second docking hole 342 and the air inlet docking hole 343 to realize the connection between the first air outlet channel 331 and the air inlet channel 333 and the cut-off between the second air outlet channel 332 and the air inlet channel 333. In the second use state, the first sealing part 431 is located between the first docking hole 341 and the air inlet docking hole 343 to realize the cut-off between the first air outlet channel 331 and the air inlet channel 333 and the connection between the second air outlet channel 332 and the air inlet channel 333. In addition, the second sealing part 432 is always located behind the second docking hole 342 as the air passage switching member 43 slides to prevent steam from leaking from the rear side of the sliding channel 344.

[0038] Therefore, by adjusting the sliding of the first sealing part 431, the air inlet docking hole 343 is connected to one of the first docking hole 341 and the second docking hole 342, while cutting off the other, thus ensuring precise steam supply. The tight fit between the first sealing part 431 and the peripheral wall of the sliding channel 344 achieves the cutoff of the steam path, ensuring reliable sealing, extremely low risk of steam leakage, stable maintenance of steam pressure, and guaranteeing ironing effect. In addition, the three holes, the first docking hole 341, the air inlet docking hole 343, and the second docking hole 342, are arranged in a straight line, and the first sealing part 431 only needs to move within the distance between the first docking hole 341 and the second docking hole 342. The sliding stroke is short, the switching action is smooth, and it is not easy to get stuck. Furthermore, the air passage component 34 and the air passage switching component 43 adopt a nested sliding structure, which is compact and can be integrated into the ironing part without increasing the overall size of the machine, meeting the design requirements of miniaturization of handheld devices. In addition, the second sealing part 432 seals the rear air passage of the sliding channel 344, thus preventing steam leakage.

[0039] The first ironing structure 21 includes a first clamping plate 211 and a second clamping plate 212. The first clamping plate 211 is disposed on the left side of the first ironing part 112, and the second clamping plate 212 is disposed on the right side of the second ironing part 122, so as to realize the relative arrangement of the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 212, so that the first clamping plate 211 and the first ironing plate 221 are arranged adjacent to each other; in addition, the first steam outlet 2111 is disposed on the first clamping plate 211.

[0040] Therefore, when ironing, the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 212 are set on the inner side of the first hand-held part 11 and the second hand-held part 12 respectively. When ironing flat, the first ironing plate 221 at the bottom of the first ironing part 112 is used. The two types of working surfaces are arranged adjacently and the functional areas are clearly defined. The dual functions are integrated in a limited space, and the overall size of the machine is well controlled. The first steam outlet 2111 is set on the first clamping plate 211 and the second steam outlet 2211 is set on the first ironing plate 221, so that the steam can directly act on the clothes without any extra conduction path, the steam heat loss is small, and the ironing efficiency is high.

[0041] The guide component 33 is installed on the first clamping plate 211 and the first ironing plate 221 in direct contact. In addition, the guide component 33 is provided with a heating tube 6.

[0042] Therefore, the heat-conducting guide 33, combined with the heating tube 6, can reheat the flowing steam, increase the steam temperature and dryness, and prevent condensation from spraying out and wetting the clothes. At the same time, the high-temperature steam has a stronger wrinkle removal and shaping ability. In addition, the guide 33 is in close contact with the first clamping plate 211 and the first ironing plate 221, which can evenly conduct the heat of the heating tube 6 to the ironing work surface, achieving the dual effect of "hot ironing + steam ironing".

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, the air intake channel 333, the first air outlet channel 331, and the second air outlet channel 332 are open on the left side, and the first clamping plate 211 is placed on the guide member 33 to seal the left side of the air intake channel 333, the first air outlet channel 331, and the second air outlet channel 332.

[0044] Therefore, the air passage adopts a side-opening groove structure, which can be directly formed in one piece by die casting, etc., without the need for complex internal drilling process, which reduces the processing difficulty and increases the production efficiency. In addition, the steam in the left-opening air inlet passage 333, the first air outlet passage 331 and the second air outlet passage 332 can contact the first clamping plate 211, so that the first clamping plate 211 can be further heated by steam, thereby improving the thermal energy utilization rate.

[0045] In this configuration, the air inlet docking hole 343 on the air duct component 34 is inserted into one end of the air inlet channel 333 to achieve communication; the first docking hole 341 is inserted into one end of the first air outlet channel 331 to achieve communication; and the second docking hole 342 is inserted into one end of the second air outlet channel 332 to achieve communication. The air inlet docking hole 343, the first docking hole 341, and the second docking hole 342 are located on the upper side of the guide component 33. The first steam outlet 2111 is located at the other end of the first air outlet channel 331, and the second steam outlet 2211 is located at the other end of the second air outlet channel 332. The other end of the air inlet channel 333 is provided with a connecting hole 334, and the first steam outlet 2111, the second steam outlet 2211, and the connecting hole 334 are all located below the air inlet docking hole 343, the first docking hole 341, and the second docking hole 342.

[0046] Preferably, there are multiple first steam outlets 2111, and each first steam outlet 2111 is arranged in a front-to-back direction; there are multiple second steam outlets 2211, and each second steam outlet 2211 is arranged in a front-to-back direction.

[0047] Therefore, the air inlet connection hole 343, the first connection hole 341, and the second connection hole 342 are located at the upper part of the air passage component 34, and the first steam outlet 2111, the second steam outlet 2211, and the connecting hole 334 are located in the middle or lower part of the air passage component 34. This arrangement makes the steam flow path in the air inlet channel 333, the first steam outlet channel 331, and the second steam outlet channel 332 longer, which can fully absorb the heat of the guide component 33, increase the steam outlet temperature, and make the ironing effect better. The arrangement of multiple first steam outlets 2111 and second steam outlets 2211 makes the first clamping plate 211 and the first ironing plate 221 more evenly covered, avoiding ironing dead corners caused by uneven steam output, and greatly improving the ironing efficiency of large areas of clothing. In addition, the first steam outlets 2111 and second steam outlets 2211 are arranged in the front and back direction, which makes the space utilization rate high and is suitable for the narrow handheld component 1.

[0048] like Figure 12 As shown, specifically, the intake channel 333 includes a first channel segment 801, a second channel segment 802, a third channel segment 803, a fourth channel segment 804, a fifth channel segment 805, and a sixth channel segment 806 connected in sequence. The upper end of the first channel segment 801 is located at the front-to-back middle of the first steam outlet 2111, and the first channel segment 801 extends downward. The second channel segment 802 extends from back to front, and the third channel segment 803 extends from front to back. The second channel segment 802 and the third channel segment 803 are arranged vertically adjacent to each other. The front end of the second channel segment 802 and the third channel segment 806 are also connected. The front end of section 3 is connected. The fourth channel segment 804 extends from bottom to top, the fifth channel segment 805 extends from rear to front, and the sixth channel segment 806 extends from bottom to top. The air inlet docking hole 343 is located at the upper end of the sixth channel segment 806. The first air outlet channel 331 includes a seventh channel segment 807, an eighth channel segment 808, a ninth channel segment 809, and a tenth channel segment 810 connected in sequence. The first docking hole 341 is located at the upper end of the seventh channel segment 807, and the seventh channel segment 807 extends downward. The eighth channel segment 808, the ninth channel segment 809, and the tenth channel segment 810... All 810 are arranged extending forward and backward, and the eighth channel segment 808, the ninth channel segment 809, and the tenth channel segment 810 are arranged downward in sequence. The rear end of the eighth channel segment 808 is connected to the lower end of the seventh channel segment 807, and the front end of the eighth channel segment 808 is connected to the front end of the ninth channel segment 809. The middle of the front-to-back length of the tenth channel segment 810 is connected to the rear end of the ninth channel segment 809. Each first steam outlet 2111 is arranged along the length of the tenth channel segment 810 to communicate with it. The second exhaust channel 332 includes the eleventh channel segment 81 connected in sequence. 1. The twelfth channel segment 812, the thirteenth channel segment 813, and the fourteenth channel segment 814, the second docking hole 342 is located at the upper end of the eleventh channel segment 811, and the eleventh channel segment 811 extends downward and connects to the front end of the twelfth channel segment 812, the twelfth channel segment 812 extends backward and connects to the upper end of the thirteenth channel segment 813, the thirteenth channel segment 813 extends downward and connects to the rear end of the fourteenth channel segment 814, the fourteenth channel segment 814 extends forward, and each second steam outlet 2211 is arranged along the length of the fourteenth channel segment 814 to communicate with the fourteenth channel segment 814.

[0049] Therefore, the above arrangement ensures that the steam has a longer path in the air inlet channel 333, the first air outlet channel 331, and the second air outlet channel 332, so as to ensure that the steam fully absorbs heat and improves the ironing effect.

[0050] like Figure 11As shown, a flow guide channel 335 is provided on the right side of the flow guide 33, and a connecting hole 334 is provided to penetrate the flow guide 33 from front to back to connect the flow guide channel 335 and the air intake channel 333. The connecting hole 334 is located at the center of the flow guide 33, and this position is one end of the flow guide channel 335. A connecting piece 336 (pipe fitting) is provided on the lower rear side of the flow guide 33, and this position is the other end of the flow guide channel 335. This allows the connecting piece 336 to be connected to the water pump 32 through a hose, so that the water in the water tank 31 enters the flow guide channel 335 through the water pump 32, hose, and connecting piece 336, and forms steam under the heating of the air intake component 34 for flow output.

[0051] Therefore, the flow channel 335 is located on the back of the flow guide 33. After the steam enters from the docking part 336 at the right end, it is preheated through the flow channel 335 and then enters the air intake channel 333 through the connecting hole 334, which further improves the steam dryness and temperature.

[0052] It should be noted that a cover 337 needs to be installed on the right end of the guide member 33 to seal the guide channel 335 and prevent steam leakage.

[0053] Preferably, the heat guide 33 is made of aluminum, which gives it excellent thermal conductivity so that it can contact the first clamping plate 211 and / or the first ironing plate 221 for heat transfer.

[0054] Preferably, the air duct component 34 is made of PPS material, which gives it excellent strength, high temperature resistance and heat insulation performance to prevent the heat transfer air duct switching component 43 from thermal deformation and affecting the sealing performance.

[0055] Preferably, the first clamping plate 211 and the first ironing plate 221 are integrally formed, and the second clamping plate 212 and the second ironing plate 222 are integrally formed, making the overall structure simpler.

[0056] The water tank 31 is built into the first hand-held section 111, and the water tank 31 is provided with a sealing cover 311 on the right side of the first hand-held section 111, so that water can be added by opening the sealing cover 311.

[0057] In addition, a compression spring 7 is provided between the second clamping plate 212 and the second ironing part 122, so that the compression spring 7 has a rightward restoring force on the second clamping plate 212. Thus, when ironing, the first hand-held part 11 and the second hand-held part 12 can be brought close to each other and fixed together. The second clamping plate 212 is reset by the compression spring 7, so that the clamped clothes are subjected to more stable force. This prevents the first hand-held part 11 and the second hand-held part 12 from being driven close together by excessive force, which would cause excessive force to be applied to the clothes and make ironing inconvenient.

[0058] The first handpiece 111 has an electric control switch 13 at its top, which allows the ironing machine to be turned on and off by moving the electric control switch 13 back and forth.

[0059] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
