[0002] Steam ironing machine, also called hanging iron or standing iron, is a machine that can hang clothes and fabrics for ironing. Steam ironing machine uses the hot steam generated inside to continuously contact clothes and fabrics to soften the fiber structure of clothes and fabrics, and smoothes clothes and fabrics through the actions of "pulling", "pressing" and "spraying", making them as good as new.

[0003] The steam ironing machine generates steam through the internal boiler. The boiler is generally equipped with a water level probe and a temperature probe. There are two water level probes, one positive and one negative. When working, cations such as calcium and magnesium in the water will be adsorbed onto the negative electrode probe, causing calcification to adhere to the probe surface, which will quickly cause the probe to fail and the water level measurement will quickly fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to increase the service life of water level measurement, the present application provides a steam ironing machine boiler.

[0005] The steam ironing machine boiler provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

In this way, the water level probe is easy to repair and replace, thereby increasing the overall service life of the boiler.

[0010] Optionally, the detection mechanism further includes a temperature measuring component; the temperature measuring component includes a thermistor and a pair of signal lines respectively connected to two ends of the thermistor; the thermistor is located at the bottom of the conductive shell.

[0018] Optionally, a connecting pipe is formed on the side wall of the boiler body; the connecting pipe is made of a conductive material; the calcification adsorption mechanism also includes a connecting assembly; the connecting assembly includes a connecting column made of a conductive metal and a handle fixed at one end of the connecting column; the handle is made of an insulating material; the other end of the connecting column is inserted into and screwed into an end of the connecting pipe away from the boiler body; the calcification collecting rod is inserted into an end of the connecting column away from the handle.

[0026] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0027] 1. The water level probe connected to the negative electrode is cancelled and replaced by the boiler body connected to the negative electrode. The cations such as calcium and magnesium in the water will be adsorbed on the inner wall of the boiler body.
