[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present application provides an ironing device 10. The ironing device 10 may be a hanging iron, an ironing machine, etc. The ironing device 10 has a dry ironing mode and a steam ironing mode. The dry ironing mode means that the ironing device 10 sprays a dry hot air flow to iron the object to be ironed. The steam ironing mode means that the ironing device 10 sprays high-temperature steam to iron the object to be ironed.

[0053] See also Figure 1 The ironing device 10 comprises a device body 11 and an ironing board 15. The ironing board 15 is mounted and fixed on the device body 11.

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the device body 11 includes a heating mechanism 12 and a fan mechanism 13. The heating mechanism 12 can be fixedly connected to the ironing board 15. A plurality of channels 1211 isolated from each other are arranged inside the heating mechanism 12. The fan mechanism 13 is arranged on a side of the heating mechanism 12 away from the ironing board 15, and is respectively connected to the plurality of channels 1211 and the outside, and the fan mechanism 13 is configured to form a negative pressure in the plurality of channels 1211.

[0055] It can be understood that the fan mechanism 13 can be directly or indirectly fixed to the side of the heating mechanism 12 away from the ironing board 15. The air inlet side of the fan mechanism 13 is connected to the multiple channels 1211, and the air outlet side of the fan mechanism 13 is connected to the outside. When the fan mechanism 13 is running, the air in the multiple channels 1211 is sucked, so that negative pressure is formed in the multiple channels 1211.

[0056] The periphery of the ironing board 15 may be sealed and connected to the device body 11 to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the ironing board 15 and the device body 11 .

[0057] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A plurality of air suction holes 151 are arranged at intervals on the ironing board 15. The plurality of air suction holes 151 are connected to the plurality of channels 1211 in a one-to-one correspondence. Figure 3 In the example shown, there are two air suction holes 151 , and each of the air suction holes 151 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length direction of the ironing board 15 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the ironing board 15 can be made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, so that the ironing board 15 can conduct heat faster and more evenly during the ironing process, accelerate the evaporation of water in different ironing modes, and help dry the ironed items.

[0059] The ironing device provided in the embodiment of the present application can accelerate the air circulation around the ironed object outside the ironing board 15 by forming negative pressure in multiple channels through the fan mechanism 13, so as to dry the ironed object while steam ironing, thereby improving the problem that the ironing device in the related art cannot be put on and ironed at the same time. At the same time, by forming negative pressure in multiple channels, the ironed object can be adsorbed on the ironing board 15 during ironing, without the need for the user to manually maintain the ironed object flat, which helps to improve the convenience of ironing. In addition, the airflow ejected by the ironing device 10 can form a secondary ironing for the ironed object in the process of being sucked into the channel 1211 through the suction hole 151 due to the negative pressure in the channel 1211, thereby improving the ironing efficiency and the ironing effect. In addition, a metal plate with good thermal conductivity is used as the ironing board 15. The high temperature of the ironing board 15 during the steam ironing process can promote the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the ironed object, which also helps to dry the ironed object.

[0060] In some embodiments, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​each air suction hole 151 is smaller than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the channel 1211 connected thereto, thereby helping to increase the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the channel, thereby further accelerating the air circulation outside the ironing board 15 .

[0061] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the heating mechanism 12 includes a housing 121 and a heating body 123. The housing 121 defines a receiving chamber 1213 and the aforementioned multiple channels 1211. The receiving chamber 1213 and the multiple channels 1211 are isolated from each other. The heating body 123 is disposed in the receiving chamber 1213. An air jet hole 152 is further disposed on the ironing board 15. The air jet hole 152 is communicated with the receiving chamber 1213.

[0062] It should be noted that the housing 121 can be made of high temperature resistant material.

[0063] It should be noted that the specific structure and function of the heating body 123 can refer to the heating structure of the ironing equipment in the related art, and this application will not elaborate on this.

[0064] In one embodiment, there may be a plurality of air jet holes 152. The plurality of air jet holes 152 may be arranged in a row along the length direction of the ironing board 15. The hole shapes of the plurality of air jet holes 152 may be the same. Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the jet holes 152 located in the middle of the ironing board 15 among the plurality of jet holes 152 are racetrack-shaped holes, and the long axis direction of the hole is consistent with the length direction of the ironing board 15, and the remaining jet holes 152 are circular holes.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, a housing 1213 is defined by the shell of the heating mechanism 12, the heating body 123 is arranged in the housing 1213, and the ironing board 15 is provided with an air jet hole 152 connected to the housing 1213, so that the gas heated by the heating body 123 can be ejected through the air jet hole 152 to iron the object to be ironed, thereby ensuring that the basic functions of the ironing device 10 are achieved; by isolating the housing 1213 and the channel 1211 from each other, on the one hand, it can avoid affecting the normal operation of the ironing device 10 during the suction process of the fan mechanism 13, and on the other hand, the channel 1211 can reduce the outward diffusion of the heat field of the heating body 123 to a certain extent, and take away the heat radiated outward by the heating body 123 through the air circulation of the channel 1211, thereby avoiding scalding the user due to local overheating of the ironing device 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the air injection hole 152 may be located between the plurality of air suction holes 151 , and correspondingly, the accommodating cavity 1213 may be located between the plurality of channels 1211 .

[0067] In one embodiment, the plurality of air suction holes 151 may be arranged in an array, and the air injection holes 152 are located between two adjacent rows / columns of the air suction holes 151 .

[0068] In one embodiment, the plurality of air suction holes 151 may be arranged around the air injection hole 152. Further, the air injection hole 152 may be arranged on the center line of the shape surrounded by the plurality of air suction holes 151.

[0069] Further, the plurality of air suction holes 151 may be evenly spaced around the air injection hole 152 , and correspondingly, the plurality of channels 1211 may be evenly spaced around the accommodating cavity 1213 .

[0070] The embodiment of the present application arranges the air jet 152 between the plurality of air suction holes 151 and the accommodating chamber 1213 between the plurality of channels 1211, or, further, arranges the plurality of air suction holes around the air jet 152 at even intervals and arranges the plurality of channels 1211 around the accommodating chamber 1213 at even intervals, which helps to further reduce the outward diffusion of the heat field of the heating body 123, and takes away the heat radiated outward by the heating body 123 through the air circulation in the channels 1211, thereby avoiding scalding the user due to the overheating of the shell of the ironing device 10. In addition, such an arrangement can also allow the air suction holes 151 to form adsorption on the ironing object from all around the air jet 152, with a better adsorption effect, without the need for the user to manually keep the ironing object flat, which helps to further improve the convenience of ironing.

[0071] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the ironing device 10 further includes a steam nozzle 102 sandwiched between the ironing board 15 and the heating mechanism. The steam nozzle 102 is disposed corresponding to the air jet hole 152 and connects the air jet hole 152 with the accommodating cavity 1213 .

[0072] In one embodiment, the steam nozzles 102 can all be made of silicone. Thus, after the steam nozzles 102 are clamped between the ironing board 15 and the device body 11, the steam nozzles 102 themselves can ensure the airtightness of the connection between the jet hole 152 and the accommodating cavity 1213.

[0073] It is understandable that the steam nozzle 102 may also be made of other materials. In this case, in order to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the air jet hole 152 and the accommodating cavity 1213, a seal may be provided between the steam nozzle 202 and the ironing board 15, or between the steam nozzle 202 and the heating mechanism 12, or between the steam nozzle 202 and the ironing board 15 and the heating mechanism 12.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the steam nozzle, on the one hand, helps to achieve the connection between the air jet hole 152 and the accommodating cavity 1213 , and on the other hand, can play a role in guiding the ironing gas in the process of ejecting the ironing gas through the air jet hole 152 .

[0075] Please continue reading Figure 4 In some embodiments, a plurality of plug-in parts 153 are convexly provided on one side of the ironing board 15 close to the device body 11. The plug-in parts 153 correspond to the air intake holes 151 and the channels 1211 one by one. Each air intake hole 151 extends to the corresponding plug-in part 153 and penetrates the plug-in part 153. Each plug-in part 153 is inserted into the corresponding channel 1211 to connect the corresponding air intake hole 151 and the channel 1211. Exemplarily, the aperture of the air intake hole 151 can be gradually reduced along the air intake direction to facilitate flow guidance.

[0076] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the ironing device 10 further includes a channel adapter 14. The channel adapter 14 is disposed between the heating mechanism 12 and the fan mechanism 13, and is sealed and connected to the heating mechanism 12. The channel adapter 14 has an air outlet 141 and an air inlet 142 connected to the air outlet 141. The air inlet 142 is connected to the plurality of channels 1211. The fan mechanism 13 is disposed on one side of the air outlet 141, and is used to draw gas in the plurality of channels 1211 through the air outlet 141, so as to form a negative pressure in the plurality of channels 1211.

[0077] In one embodiment, the channel adapter 14 is mounted and fixed on the heating mechanism 12. A sealing member such as a sealing foam or a sealing ring may be provided between the channel adapter 14 and the heating mechanism 12 to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the channel 1211 and the air inlet 142.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the channel adapter 14 allows multiple channels 1211 to share the fan mechanism 13, thereby helping to make the ironing device 10 compact in structure and facilitating the miniaturization of the ironing device 10, thereby improving the portability of the ironing device 10.

[0079] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the fan mechanism 13 includes a fan 131 and a housing 132. The fan 131 is disposed in the housing 132, for example, at an end of the housing 132 away from the heating mechanism 12. The internal space of the housing 132 is communicated with the air outlet 141 and the outside respectively.

[0080] In some embodiments, the fan 131 may be a centrifugal fan. The air inlet end of the fan mechanism 13 may be directly fixedly connected to the end of the channel adapter 14 where the air outlet 141 is located, and the air outlet end of the fan mechanism 13 is in communication with the outside.

[0081] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the device body 11 further includes a housing 17. The heating mechanism 12, the fan mechanism 13, the channel adapter 14, etc. are all disposed in the housing 17. The ironing board 15 is sealed and connected to the housing 17.

[0082] In some embodiments, the housing 17 includes a main body section 171 and a grip section 172 that are interconnected and internally communicated. The main body section 171 and the grip section 172 can be integrally or separately arranged. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the main body section 171 includes a first shell section and a second shell section that are interlocked. The grip section 172 can be provided integrally with the second shell section. By making the main body section 271 include the first shell section and the second shell section that are interlocked, it is convenient to install the relevant components of the ironing device 10 in the housing 17, and by providing the grip section 172 and the second shell section as one piece, it is helpful to simplify the assembly process of the ironing device 10.

[0083] See also Figure 4 The main body section 171 and the grip section 172 are arranged at an angle, so that the housing 17 is in a "7" shape as a whole. The angle between the main body section 171 and the grip section 172 can range from 60° to 120°. By setting the angle between the main body section 171 and the grip section 172 within this range, it is helpful to make the ironing device 10 compact while being convenient for users to use. Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the angle is between 90° and 120°.

[0084] The ironing board 15 is sealed and connected to one end of the main body section 171 away from the grip section 172 . Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the periphery of the ironing board 15 may be sealed and connected to an end of the main body section 171 away from the grip section 172 via a first seal 1011 .

[0085] The heating mechanism 12 is fixedly disposed in the main body section 171 .

[0086] The fan mechanism 13 extends from the main body section 171 into the grip section 172 and is connected to the outside through the grip section 172 .

[0087] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the housing 17 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​structures 1731. It is understood that the plurality of first snap-fit ​​structures 1731 may be provided in the main body section 171 or the grip section 172 of the housing 17. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of first clamping structures 1731 are disposed at an end of the gripping section 172 away from the main body section 171 .

[0088] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The ironing device 10 further includes a water tank 18. The water tank 18 is provided with a plurality of second clamping structures 181. The plurality of second clamping structures 181 are clamped with the plurality of first clamping structures 1731 in a one-to-one correspondence. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of second clamping structures 181 are dispersedly disposed around the top of the water tank 18. Further, the plurality of second clamping structures 181 can be evenly distributed around the top of the water tank 18, thereby helping to improve the problem of uneven assembly gap between the device body 11 and the water tank 18 due to the deadweight of the water tank 18 after the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 are clamped.

[0089] Please also read Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the clamping direction of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 can be perpendicular to the top of the water tank 18.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application ensures the connection strength between the water tank 18 and the device body 11 by making the clamping direction of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 perpendicular to the top of the water tank 18. At the same time, it avoids the problem of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 being too tightly fastened to make disassembly more difficult. In other words, it helps to improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of the water tank 18 and the device body 11.

[0091] In some embodiments, one of the first engaging structure 1731 and the second engaging structure 181 is a post, and the other is a slot. The post includes a ball head disposed at a free end thereof, and the ball head is configured to engage with the slot.

[0092] It should be noted that the ball head can be fixedly arranged at the free end of the card column. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 18 and the shell 17, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, so that the ball head slides out / into the card slot, and the continuous smooth curved surface of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of sliding out / into the card slot. Alternatively, the free end of the card column can be provided with a receiving groove, and the ball head can be rolled and embedded in the receiving groove. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 18 and the shell 17, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, and the rolling of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of sliding out / into the card slot. Alternatively, the card column is an elastic telescopic card column. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 18 and the shell 17, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, and the elastic telescopic card column where the ball head is located can be retracted based on the pressure between the card slot and the structure, thereby further reducing the difficulty of disassembling / assembling.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, a first clamping structure 1731 is provided on the outer shell 17, and a second clamping structure 181 is provided on the water tank 18, so that the disassembly and assembly of the device body 11 and the water tank 18 are convenient; by providing one of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 as a clamping column and the other as a clamping groove, and providing the free end of the clamping column as a ball head structure, when it is necessary to connect the water tank 18 to the device body 11, the ball head can be inserted into the clamping groove from multiple directions, thereby reducing the assembly alignment accuracy requirement; and when it is necessary to disassemble the water tank 18 from the device body 11, the continuous smooth curved surface of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of disassembling the two.

[0094] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first clamping structure 1731 is a clamping column, and the second clamping structure 181 is a clamping groove. The housing 17 may include a base 173 located at an end of the gripping section 172 away from the main section 171. A plurality of first clamping structures 1731 are disposed on the base 173.

[0095] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5Specifically, the water tank 18 includes a plurality of bosses 1801 protruding from the top thereof. Each card slot is provided on a boss 1801, for example, on the side of a boss 1801. A groove 1732 is provided on the base 173. A plurality of card column mounting grooves 1733 are provided on the side wall of the groove 1732. Each card column is arranged in a card column mounting groove 1733. The card column includes a ball head and an elastic member. The elastic member is connected between the groove wall of the card column mounting groove 1733 and the ball head. The ball head is interference fit with the card column mounting groove 1733, and when the elastic member is in a natural state, the ball head at least partially protrudes from the card column mounting groove 1733.

[0096] In one embodiment, the base 173 may be in the shape of a disk. The gripping section 172 may be in the shape of a cylinder. Along the radial direction of the gripping section 172, the size of the base 173 is larger than the size of the gripping section 172. Thus, the gripping property of the gripping section 172 can be ensured, and it is convenient to set the first clamping structure 1731 on the base 173. In addition, it is also helpful to ensure the compactness of the structure of the ironing device.

[0097] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 Further, the base 173 is also provided with a first through hole 1734 penetrating the base 173. The groove 1732 may be an annular groove, arranged around the first through hole 1734. The water tank 18 is provided with a second through hole 182 penetrating the water tank 18. The second through hole 182 is isolated from the water storage space of the water tank 18. The internal space of the grip section 172 is connected to the outside through the first through hole 1734 and the second through hole 182. Exemplarily, the aperture of the second through hole 182 is gradually reduced in the direction away from the device body 11.

[0098] Furthermore, the housing 17 may further include a bottom cover 174. The bottom cover 174 is disposed on a side of the base 173 away from the gripping section 172 and covers the groove 1732. The bottom cover 174 is provided with a third through hole 1741 and a plurality of through holes 1742. The third through hole 1741 is connected to the first through hole 1734 and the second through hole 182, respectively. The plurality of through holes 1742 correspond to the bosses 1801 one by one. Each through hole 1742 is used for allowing the corresponding boss 1801 to penetrate into the groove 1732 so that the slot and the boss are engaged.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the ball head of the clamping column cooperates with the clamping groove to realize the clamping connection between the water tank 18 and the shell 17 of the device main body 11. Since the clamping column also includes an elastic member connected between the groove wall of the clamping column mounting groove 1733 and the ball head, in the process of clamping the water tank 18 and the shell 17 of the device main body 11, the convex column presses the ball head, so that the ball head retracts into the clamping column mounting groove 1733 and compresses the elastic member. After the clamping is in place, the elastic member rebounds to make the ball head clamped into the clamping groove; in the process of separating the water tank 18 and the shell 17 of the device main body 11 from each other, the convex column presses the ball head, so that the ball head retracts into the clamping column mounting groove 1733 and compresses the elastic member. After the water tank 18 is separated from the device main body 11, the elastic member rebounds to make the ball head partially protrude out of the clamping column mounting groove 1733. Through such a setting, it helps to further improve the convenience of disassembly / assembly. At the same time, it also helps to enable the user to better understand the disassembly / assembly status of the water tank 28 and the device main body 11 during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the slot is engaged with the post, the portion of the ball head protruding from the post mounting slot 1733 matches the shape of the slot, thereby making the device body 11 tightly pressed against the water tank 18 to avoid the problem of virtual position shaking.

[0101] In some embodiments, the ratio between the diameter of the ball head and the maximum distance between the ball head and the end surface where the notch of the clamping column mounting groove is located is between (4-6): (1.7-2.1).

[0102] The diameter of the ball head ranges from 4mm to 6mm, for example, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm or a specific value between any two of the above values. The maximum vertical distance between the portion of the ball head protruding from the column mounting groove 1733 and the end face where the notch of the column mounting groove 1733 is located is between 1.7mm and 2.1mm, for example, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2.0mm, 2.1mm or a specific value between any two of the above values. The critical value for plastic deformation of the elastic member (corresponding to the maximum elastic force value of the elastic member) is 15N. In this way, the connection strength and the convenience of disassembly and assembly between the water tank 18 and the device body 11 can be further taken into account.

[0103] Exemplarily, the ball head may be a steel ball.

[0104] The embodiment of the present application sets the ratio between the diameter of the ball head and the maximum distance between the ball head and the end face where the slot of the post mounting slot 1733 is located within the above-mentioned ratio range, which helps to ensure the clamping strength between the ball head and the slot while reducing the difficulty of disassembly / assembly when the two are separated.

[0105] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the housing 17 is further provided with a first positioning structure 2743. The first positioning structure 1743 can be located between the plurality of first clamping structures 1731. A second positioning structure 183 is further provided on the top of the water tank 18. The second positioning structure 183 can be located between the plurality of second clamping structures 181. The first positioning structure 1743 cooperates with the second positioning structure 183 to achieve installation and positioning of the device body 11 and the water tank 18.

[0106] The embodiment of the present application realizes the clamping alignment of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 through the cooperation of the first positioning structure 1743 and the second positioning structure 183. At the same time, the installation positioning of the equipment body 11 and the water tank 18 is realized, which helps to improve the alignment accuracy of the first clamping structure 1731 and the second clamping structure 181 and reduce the difficulty of installation of the equipment body 11 and the water tank 18.

[0107] In some embodiments, one of the first positioning structure 1743 and the second positioning structure 183 is a positioning column, and the other is a positioning groove.

[0108] In one embodiment, the first positioning structure 1743 is a positioning column, and the second positioning structure 183 is a positioning groove. For example, the number of the positioning columns may be two, and correspondingly, the number of the positioning grooves may also be two.

[0109] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first positioning structure 1743 can be protruded from the bottom cover 174 in a direction away from the base 173. The second positioning structure 183 can be a cylindrical groove with a notch located at the top of the water tank 18 and isolated from the water storage space of the water tank 18 and the second through hole 182.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 1743 is disposed near one end of the bottom cover 174, and correspondingly, the second positioning structure 183 is disposed near one end of the top of the water tank 18. Exemplarily, for an example in which the second positioning structure 183 is two positioning grooves, the two positioning grooves may be located on both sides of the second through hole 182.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first positioning structure 1743 close to one end of the bottom cover 174, a fool-proof effect can be achieved, thereby further reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0112] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, a water suction valve 1804 communicating with the water storage space of the water tank 18 may be further provided on the top of the water tank 18. A water suction pipe 1735 is fixed in the groove 1732, and a fourth through hole 1744 for the water suction pipe 1735 to pass through may be further provided on the bottom cover 174. One end of the water suction pipe 1735 passes through the fourth through hole 1744 and communicates with the water suction valve 1804.

[0113] In one embodiment, the vertical height of the portion of the water suction pipe 1735 passing through the fourth through hole 1744 is less than the vertical height of the first positioning structure 1743 protruding from the bottom cover 174. Therefore, when the water tank 18 is connected to the device body 11, the first positioning structure 1743 and the second positioning structure 183 can be used to achieve the installation alignment of the two, and at the same time, the water suction pipe 1735 can be inserted into the water suction valve 1804, thereby avoiding the problem of the water suction pipe 1735 being damaged due to the misalignment of the hole positions of the water suction pipe 1735 and the water suction valve 1804.

[0114] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the ironing device 10 further includes a water pump 19. The water pump 19 is respectively connected to the water tank 18 and the accommodating chamber 1213, and is used to pump water in the water tank into the accommodating chamber 1213 to be heated by the heating body 123 to form steam for steam ironing. Exemplarily, the water pump 19 can be fixed on the fan mechanism 13, and is respectively connected to the accommodating chamber 1213 and the water suction pipe 1735 through another pipeline.

[0115] It can be understood that the water pump 19 is in the off state in the dry ironing mode.

[0116] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a water inlet 1805 and a water inlet plug 1806 may be provided on the top of the water tank 18. The water inlet plug 1806 may be a silicone plug.

[0117] In some embodiments, a switch assembly 1102 and a power line 1103 electrically connected to the switch assembly 1102 are further disposed in the groove 1732. The power line 1103 passes through the side wall of the groove 1732.

[0118] In some embodiments, the housing 17 may further include a rear cover assembly 175. The rear cover assembly 175 is disposed at an end of the main body section 171 away from the ironing board 15, and covers the end of the main body section 171. Exemplarily, the rear cover assembly 175 may include a cover plate 1751 and a control module 1752 assembled on the cover plate 1751. The cover plate 1751 covers the end of the main body section 171 away from the ironing board 15. The control module 1752 is respectively connected to the water pump 19, the heating body 123, the switch assembly 1102, etc., and is used to control the operation of the water pump 19 and the heating body 123 based on the signal of the switch assembly 1102.

[0119] Please also read Figures 6 to 11 Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides an ironing device 20, which has a similar structure to the ironing device 10 of the aforementioned embodiment, including an ironing board 25 and a device body 21, wherein the device body 21 includes a heating mechanism 22, a fan mechanism 23 and a channel adapter 24, wherein the structures of the ironing board 25 and the heating mechanism 22 can refer to the relevant contents of the ironing board 15 and the heating mechanism 12 of the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The differences between the ironing device 20 and the ironing device 10 are described in detail below.

[0120] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The ironing board 25 and the device body 21 can be sealed and connected by the first sealing member 2011. The first sealing member 2011 can be a silicone ring disposed along the edge of the ironing board 25 and between the ironing board 25 and the device body 21.

[0121] See also Fig.10 In some embodiments, the ironing device 20 further includes an air inlet nozzle 201 and a steam nozzle 202 sandwiched between the ironing board 25 and the heating mechanism. The air inlet nozzle 201 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the air suction hole 251 and the channel 2211, and is connected to the corresponding air suction hole 251 and the channel 2211. The steam nozzle 202 is arranged in a corresponding manner with the air jet hole 252, and is connected to the air jet hole 252 and the accommodating cavity 2213.

[0122] In one embodiment, the air inlet nozzle 201 and the steam air nozzle 202 can both be air nozzles made of silicone. Therefore, after the air inlet nozzle 201 and the steam air nozzle 202 are clamped between the ironing board 25 and the device body 21, the air inlet nozzle 201 itself can ensure the air tightness of the connection between the air intake hole 251 and the channel 2211, and the steam air nozzle 202 itself can ensure the air tightness of the connection between the air injection hole 252 and the accommodating cavity 2213.

[0123] It is understandable that the air inlet nozzle 201 and the steam nozzle 202 may also be made of other materials. At this time, in order to ensure the air tightness of the connection between the air suction hole 251 and the channel 2211, a seal may be provided between the air inlet nozzle 201 and the ironing board 25, or between the air inlet nozzle 201 and the heating mechanism 22, or between the air inlet nozzle 201 and the ironing board 25 and the heating mechanism 22. In order to ensure the air tightness of the connection between the air jet hole 252 and the accommodating cavity 2213, a seal may be provided between the steam nozzle 202 and the ironing board 25, or between the steam nozzle 202 and the heating mechanism 22, or between the steam nozzle 202 and the ironing board 25 and the heating mechanism 22.

[0124] Fig.10In the embodiment shown, the steam nozzle 202 is a nozzle made of silicone material, and the air inlet nozzle 201 is a nozzle made of non-silicone material. A second sealing member 1012 is provided between the air inlet nozzle 201 and the ironing board 25, and a third sealing member 1013 is provided between the air inlet nozzle 201 and the heating mechanism 22.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the air inlet nozzle 201, on the one hand, helps to achieve the connection between the suction hole 251 and the channel 2211, and on the other hand, can play a role in guiding the gas in the process of sucking the gas into the channel 2211 through the suction hole 251; accordingly, the setting of the steam nozzle, on the one hand, helps to achieve the connection between the jet hole 252 and the accommodating cavity 2213, and on the other hand, can play a role in guiding the ironing gas in the process of ejecting the ironing gas through the jet hole 252.

[0126] Please also read Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, when the fan 231 is an axial flow fan, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the device body 21 also includes a connecting pipe 26 , and opposite ends of the connecting pipe 26 are sealedly connected to the end where the air outlet of the channel adapter 24 is located and the air inlet end of the fan mechanism 23 .

[0127] Furthermore, a seal such as a sealing foam or a silicone sealing ring may be provided between the connecting tube 26 and the channel adapter 24, or between the connecting tube 26 and the fan mechanism 23, or between the connecting tube 26 and the channel adapter 24 and the fan mechanism 23 to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the connecting tube 26 and the channel adapter 24 and the fan mechanism 23.

[0128] Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, a fourth sealing member 2014 is provided between the connecting pipe 26 and the channel adapter 24, and a fifth sealing member 2015 is provided between the connecting pipe 26 and the fan mechanism 23. The fourth sealing member 2014 and the fifth sealing member 2015 are both silicone sealing rings.

[0129] It should be noted that the connecting pipe 26 can be an elbow duct, such as a 90° elbow duct, a 100° elbow duct, a 110° elbow duct, a 120° elbow duct, etc. Using an elbow duct as the connecting pipe is beneficial to the structural design of the ironing device 10 .

[0130] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the device body 21 further includes a housing 27. The heating mechanism 22, the fan mechanism 23, the channel adapter 24, the connecting pipe 26, etc. are all arranged in the housing 27. The ironing board 25 is sealed and connected to the housing 27.

[0131] In some embodiments, the housing 27 includes a main body section 271 and a grip section 272 that are interconnected and internally communicated. The main body section 271 and the grip section 272 can be integrally or separately arranged. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In the embodiment shown, the main body section 271 and the grip section 272 are separately provided and fixedly connected by connection structures such as buckles and slots or bolts and screw holes. By separately providing the main body section 271 and the grip section 272, it is convenient to install the relevant components of the ironing device 20 in the housing 27.

[0132] The main body section 271 and the grip section 272 are arranged at an angle, so that the housing 27 is in the shape of a letter "7". The angle between the main body section 271 and the grip section 272 can range from 60° to 120°. Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the angle is 90°. By setting the angle between the main body section 271 and the grip section 272 within this range, it helps to make the ironing device 20 compact while being convenient for the user to use.

[0133] The ironing board 25 is sealed to one end of the main body section 271 away from the grip section 272. For example, the periphery of the ironing board 25 may be sealed to one end of the main body section 271 away from the grip section 272 via a seal (eg, the aforementioned first seal 2011).

[0134] The heating mechanism 22 is disposed within the main body section 271 . Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 221 of the heating mechanism 22 abuts against the inner wall of the main body section 271 , thereby helping to make the ironing device 20 compact.

[0135] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 2711 may be provided on the inner wall of the main body section 271. The limiting protrusion 2711 is used to cooperate with the ironing board 25 to limit the heating mechanism 22 and the end of the channel adapter 24 connected to the heating mechanism 22 between the two. Thus, the heating mechanism 22 and the channel adapter 24 are easily installed and fixed.

[0136] The fan mechanism 23 extends from the main body section 271 into the grip section 272 and communicates with the outside through the grip section 272. Exemplarily, the device body 21 may further include an inner sleeve 2101. The inner sleeve 2101 is sleeved on the fan mechanism 23 and is fixedly connected to the fan mechanism 23 and the grip section 272. The inner sleeve 2101 is also fixedly connected to the main body section 271. The fan mechanism 23 and the grip section 272 may be fixedly connected to the main body section 271 by means of the inner sleeve 2101.

[0137] See also Figures 9 to 11In some embodiments, the housing 27 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​structures 2731. It is understood that the plurality of first snap-fit ​​structures 2731 may be provided on the main body section 271 or the grip section 272 of the housing 27. Exemplarily, the plurality of first snap-fit ​​structures 2731 are provided at one end of the grip section 272 away from the main body section 271.

[0138] The ironing device 20 further includes a water tank 28. The water tank 28 is provided with a plurality of second clamping structures 281. The plurality of second clamping structures 281 are clamped with the plurality of first clamping structures 2731 in a one-to-one correspondence. Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of second clamping structures 281 are dispersedly disposed around the top of the water tank 28. Further, the plurality of second clamping structures 281 can be evenly distributed around the top of the water tank 28, thereby helping to improve the problem of uneven assembly gap between the device body 21 and the water tank 28 due to the deadweight of the water tank 28 after the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 are clamped.

[0139] In some embodiments, the clamping direction of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 may be perpendicular to the top of the water tank 28 .

[0140] The embodiment of the present application ensures the connection strength between the water tank 28 and the device body 21 by making the clamping direction of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 perpendicular to the top of the water tank 28. At the same time, it avoids the problem of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 being too tightly fastened to make disassembly more difficult. In other words, it helps to improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of the water tank 28 and the device body 21.

[0141] In some embodiments, one of the first engaging structure 2731 and the second engaging structure 281 is a post, and the other is a slot. The post includes a ball head disposed at a free end thereof, and the ball head is configured to engage with the slot.

[0142] It should be noted that the ball head can be fixedly arranged at the free end of the card column. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 28 and the shell 27, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, so that the ball head slides out / into the card slot, and the continuous smooth curved surface of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of sliding out / into the card slot. Alternatively, the free end of the card column can be provided with a receiving groove, and the ball head can be rolled and embedded in the receiving groove. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 28 and the shell 27, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, and the rolling of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of sliding out / into the card slot. Alternatively, the card column is an elastic telescopic card column. In this case, during the process of disassembling / assembling the water tank 28 and the shell 27, the structure where the card slot is located can be elastically bent based on the pressure between the card slot and the ball head, and the elastic telescopic card column where the ball head is located can be retracted based on the pressure between the card slot and the structure, thereby further reducing the difficulty of disassembling / assembling.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, a first clamping structure 2731 is provided on the outer shell 27, and a second clamping structure 281 is provided on the water tank 28, so that the disassembly and assembly of the device body 21 and the water tank 28 are relatively convenient; by providing one of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 as a clamping column and the other as a clamping groove, and providing the free end of the clamping column as a ball head structure, when it is necessary to connect the water tank 28 to the device body 21, the ball head can be inserted into the clamping groove from multiple directions, thereby reducing the assembly alignment accuracy requirements; and when it is necessary to disassemble the water tank 28 from the device body 21, the continuous smooth curved surface of the ball head helps to reduce the difficulty of disassembling the two.

[0144] See also Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, the first clamping structure 2731 is a clamping column, and the second clamping structure 281 is a clamping groove. The housing 27 may include a base 273 located at an end of the gripping section 272 away from the main section 271. A plurality of first clamping structures 2731 are disposed on the base 273.

[0145] Specifically, the water tank 28 includes a plurality of bosses 2801 protruding from the top thereof. Each slot is provided on a boss 2801, for example, on the side of a boss 2801. A groove 2732 is provided on the base 273. A plurality of post mounting grooves 2733 are provided on the side wall of the groove 2732. Each post is disposed in a post mounting groove 2733. The post includes a ball head and an elastic member. The elastic member is connected between the groove wall of the post mounting groove 2733 and the ball head. The ball head is interference fit with the post mounting groove 2733, and when the elastic member is in a natural state, the ball head at least partially protrudes from the post mounting groove 2733.

[0146] In one embodiment, the base 273 may be in a disc shape. The gripping section 272 may be in a cylindrical shape. Along the radial direction of the gripping section 272, the size of the base 273 is larger than the size of the gripping section 272. Thus, the gripping property of the gripping section 272 can be ensured, and it is convenient to set the first clamping structure 2731 on the base 273. In addition, it is also helpful to ensure the compactness of the structure of the ironing device.

[0147] Furthermore, the base 273 is also provided with a first through hole 2734 penetrating the base 273. The groove 2732 may be an annular groove, which is arranged around the first through hole 2734 and is isolated from the first through hole 2734. The water tank 28 is provided with a second through hole 282 penetrating the water tank 28. The second through hole 282 is isolated from the water storage space of the water tank 28. The internal space of the grip section 272 is connected to the outside through the first through hole 2734 and the second through hole 282. Exemplarily, the aperture of the second through hole 282 is gradually reduced in the direction away from the device body 21.

[0148] Furthermore, the housing 27 may further include a bottom cover 274. The bottom cover 274 is disposed on a side of the base 273 away from the gripping section 272 and covers the groove 2732. The bottom cover 274 is provided with a third through hole 2741 and a plurality of through holes 2742. The third through hole 2741 is connected to the first through hole 2734 and the second through hole 282, respectively. The plurality of through holes 2742 correspond to the bosses 2801 one by one. Each through hole 2742 is used for allowing the corresponding boss 2801 to penetrate into the groove 2732, so that the card slot and the card column are engaged.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the ball head of the clamping column cooperates with the clamping groove to realize the clamping connection between the water tank 28 and the shell 27 of the device main body 21. Since the clamping column also includes an elastic member connected between the groove wall of the clamping column mounting groove 2733 and the ball head, in the process of clamping the water tank 28 and the shell 27 of the device main body 21, the convex column presses the ball head, so that the ball head retracts into the clamping column mounting groove 2733 and compresses the elastic member. After the clamping is in place, the elastic member rebounds to make the ball head clamped into the clamping groove; in the process of separating the water tank 28 and the shell 27 of the device main body 21 from each other, the convex column presses the ball head, so that the ball head retracts into the clamping column mounting groove 2733 and compresses the elastic member. After the water tank 28 is separated from the device main body 21, the elastic member rebounds to make the ball head partially protrude from the clamping column mounting groove 2733. Through such a setting, it is helpful to further improve the convenience of disassembly / assembly. At the same time, it is also helpful to enable the user to better understand the disassembly / assembly status of the water tank 28 and the device main body 21 during the disassembly / assembly process.

[0150] In some embodiments, when the slot is engaged with the post, the portion of the ball head protruding from the post mounting slot 2733 matches the shape of the slot, thereby making the device body 21 tightly pressed against the water tank 28, avoiding the problem of virtual position shaking.

[0151] In some embodiments, the ratio between the diameter of the ball head and the maximum distance between the ball head and the end surface where the notch of the clamping column mounting groove is located is between (4-6): (1.7-2.1).

[0152] The diameter of the ball head ranges from 4mm to 6mm, for example, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm or a specific value between any two of the above values. The maximum vertical distance between the portion of the ball head protruding from the column mounting groove 2733 and the end face where the notch of the column mounting groove 2733 is located is between 1.7mm and 2.1mm, for example, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2.0mm, 2.1mm or a specific value between any two of the above values. The critical value for plastic deformation of the elastic member (corresponding to the maximum elastic force value of the elastic member) is 15N. In this way, the connection strength between the water tank 28 and the device body 21 and the convenience of disassembly and assembly can be further taken into account.

[0153] Exemplarily, the ball head may be a steel ball.

[0154] The embodiment of the present application sets the ratio between the diameter of the ball head and the maximum distance between the ball head and the end face where the slot of the post mounting slot 2733 is located within the above-mentioned ratio range, which helps to ensure the clamping strength between the ball head and the slot while reducing the difficulty of disassembly / assembly when the two are separated.

[0155] In some embodiments, the housing 27 is further provided with a first positioning structure 2743. The first positioning structure 2743 can be located between the plurality of first clamping structures 2731. The top of the water tank 28 is further provided with a second positioning structure 283. The second positioning structure 283 can be located between the plurality of second clamping structures 281. The first positioning structure 2743 cooperates with the second positioning structure 283 to achieve installation and positioning of the device body 21 and the water tank 28.

[0156] The embodiment of the present application realizes the clamping alignment of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 through the cooperation of the first positioning structure 2743 and the second positioning structure 283. At the same time, the installation positioning of the equipment body 21 and the water tank 28 is realized, which helps to improve the alignment accuracy of the first clamping structure 2731 and the second clamping structure 281 and reduce the difficulty of installation of the equipment body 21 and the water tank 28.

[0157] In some embodiments, one of the first positioning structure 2743 and the second positioning structure 283 is a positioning column, and the other is a positioning groove.

[0158] In one embodiment, the first positioning structure 2743 is a positioning column, and the second positioning structure 283 is a positioning groove. For example, the number of the positioning columns can be two, and correspondingly, the number of the positioning grooves can also be two.

[0159] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The first positioning structure 2743 can be protruded from the bottom cover 274 in a direction away from the base 273. The second positioning structure 283 can be a cylindrical groove with a notch located at the top of the water tank 28 and isolated from the water storage space of the water tank 28 and the second through hole 282.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 2743 is disposed near one end of the bottom cover 274, and correspondingly, the second positioning structure 283 is disposed near one end of the top of the water tank 28. Exemplarily, for an example in which the second positioning structure 283 is two positioning grooves, the two positioning grooves may be located on both sides of the second through hole 282.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first positioning structure 2743 close to one end of the bottom cover 274, a fool-proof effect can be achieved, thereby further reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0162] In some embodiments, a water suction valve 2804 communicating with the water storage space of the water tank 28 may be further provided on the top of the water tank 28. A water suction pipe 2735 is fixed in the groove 2732, and a fourth through hole 2744 for the water suction pipe 2735 to pass through may be further provided on the bottom cover 274. One end of the water suction pipe 2735 passes through the fourth through hole 2744 and communicates with the water suction valve 2804.

[0163] In one embodiment, the vertical height of the portion of the water suction pipe 2735 passing through the fourth through hole 2744 is less than the vertical height of the first positioning structure 2743 protruding from the bottom cover 274. Therefore, when the water tank 28 is connected to the device body 21, the first positioning structure 2743 and the second positioning structure 283 can be used to achieve the installation alignment of the two, and at the same time, the water suction pipe 2735 can be inserted into the water suction valve 2804, thereby avoiding the problem of the water suction pipe 2735 being damaged due to the misalignment of the hole positions of the water suction pipe 2735 and the water suction valve 2804.

[0164] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the ironing device 20 further includes a water pump 29. The water pump 29 is respectively connected to the water tank 28 and the accommodating chamber 2213, and is used to pump water in the water tank into the accommodating chamber 2213 to be heated by the heating body 223 to form steam for steam ironing. Exemplarily, the water pump 29 can be fixed on the connecting pipe 26, and is respectively connected to the accommodating chamber 2213 and the water suction pipe 2735 through another pipeline.

[0165] It can be understood that the water pump 29 is in the off state in the dry ironing mode.

[0166] In some embodiments, a water inlet 2805 and a water inlet plug 2806 may be further provided on the top of the water tank 28. The water inlet plug 2806 may be a silicone plug.

[0167] In some embodiments, a switch assembly 2102 and a power line 2103 electrically connected to the switch assembly 2102 are further disposed in the groove 2732. The power line 2103 passes through the side wall of the groove 2732.

[0168] In some embodiments, the housing 27 may further include a rear cover assembly 275. The rear cover assembly 275 is disposed at an end of the main body section 271 away from the ironing board 25, and covers the end of the main body section 271. Exemplarily, the rear cover assembly 275 may include a cover plate 2751 and a control module 2752 assembled on the cover plate 2751. The cover plate 2751 covers the end of the main body section 271 away from the ironing board 25. The control module 2752 is respectively connected to the water pump 29, the heating body 223, the switch assembly 2102, etc., and is used to control the operation of the water pump 29 and the heating body 223 based on the signal of the switch assembly 2102.
