[0029] The ironing machine continuously heats and moistens the clothes to increase the temperature and humidity of the clothes, improve the plasticity of the clothes, and then applies external force to the clothes to deform the clothes, so that the clothes will become flat and wrinkle-free after cooling. The ironing machine of the related art also has an air suction device in the body, and adsorption holes are provided on the ironing surface, so that the ironing surface can automatically adsorb the clothes through the adsorption holes and the air suction device, so that the user can operate it with one hand. An exhaust vent needs to be provided on the surface of the ironing machine for the air flow driven by the suction device to flow out. When the air suction device inhales, some high-temperature steam will also be inhaled into the body. However, the position of the exhaust vent in the related art is unreasonable, resulting in the hot and humid gas being blown directly to the user after being discharged or affecting other components during the discharge process, affecting the user experience and structural stability of the ironing machine.

[0030] The utility model provides an ironing device, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the use experience and structural stability of the ironing machine.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ironing device of the utility model; Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ironing device of the utility model; Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ironing device of the utility model.

[0032] The ironing device comprises: an ironing body 10, wherein the ironing body 10 comprises a casing 11, an ironing panel 12, a steam generator 13 and an air suction device 14, wherein the steam generator 13 and the air suction device 14 are installed in the casing 11, the ironing panel 12 is installed at the front end of the casing 11, the ironing panel 12 is provided with a steam hole 121 and an adsorption hole 122, wherein the steam hole 121 is communicated with the steam outlet of the steam generator 13, and the adsorption hole 122 is communicated with the air inlet side of the air suction device 14; an air outlet 111 is provided on the upper surface of the casing 11, and the air outlet 111 is communicated with the air outlet side of the air suction device 14; and a handle 20, wherein the handle 20 is connected to the ironing body 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the ironing body 10 is used to realize the ironing function, and the handle 20 is used for the user to hold it. The top of the handle 20 is connected to the bottom of the ironing body 10, and the length direction of the handle 20 forms an angle of 90° to 120° with the length direction of the ironing body 10. The ironing device also includes a water tank, which is used to store water or other liquids that can form steam. The inner cavity of the handle 20 is connected to the inner cavity of the housing 11. A water pump is provided in the housing 11 or the handle 20. The water pump connects the water tank with the water inlet of the steam generator 13, so that the water in the water tank can be sucked into the steam generator 13 for vaporization. After the water forms steam, it will be ejected from the steam outlet of the steam generator 13, and finally ejected from the steam hole 121 of the ironing panel 12.

[0034] The handle 20 may be provided with a control button, which is electrically connected to the steam generator 13 and the water pump through the circuit board 17. When the ironing device is needed, the handle 20 may be held and the control button may be turned on, and then the ironing panel 12 may be placed close to the surface of the clothes. The steam holes 121 of the ironing panel 12 may spray high-temperature steam, which may increase the temperature and humidity of the clothes to improve the plasticity of the clothes; applying external force to the clothes may cause the clothes to deform or the clothes to deform under their own gravity, so that the clothes will be flatter after cooling.

[0035] The air suction device 14 can be arranged on a side of the steam generator 13 away from the ironing panel 12 to reasonably utilize the storage space in the housing 11. The air suction device 14 can generate negative pressure on the clothes through the suction holes 122, so that the clothes can automatically fit toward the ironing panel 12, so as to reduce the user's operating difficulty and improve the convenience of using the ironing machine. The air outlet 111 is connected to the air outlet side of the air suction device 14, and the air flow enters the air inlet channel from the suction holes 122, and is discharged from the air outlet 111 after passing through the air suction device 14, so as to realize the negative pressure air flow circulation in the housing 11.

[0036] The adsorption hole 122 inhales the steam ejected from the steam hole 121 while inhaling air, so the airflow blown out from the air outlet 111 also contains water vapor. If the air outlet 111 is opened on the lower surface or side surface of the housing 11, the water vapor will easily contact other objects to form dew after being blown out from the air outlet 111, causing the objects around the air outlet 111 to become wet. Therefore, opening the air outlet 111 on the upper surface of the housing 11 allows the water vapor to continue to flow upward and dissipate after being blown out from the air outlet 111, thereby reducing the impact on the environment of objects around the ironing device or other parts of the ironing device. In addition, it can also prevent the steam blown out from the air outlet 111 from blowing directly to the user and causing discomfort to the user; and reduce the contact between the steam and other parts in the process of being discharged from the ironing device, thereby reducing the impact of the steam on the internal electrical components of the ironing device, thereby improving the user experience and improving the internal structural stability of the ironing device.

[0037] Specifically, the ironing panel 12 has an ironing surface, and the air outlet 111 is inclined toward the extension plane of the ironing surface. The air outlet 111 is inclined toward the front, so that when a user holds the ironing device and irons clothes with the ironing panel 12 tilted downward, the air outlet 111 can just face the clothes, so that the steam blown out of the air outlet 111 can be blown toward the clothes again, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of the steam.

[0038] The air outlet 111 may be located in the middle of the housing 11 or near the rear end of the housing 11 .

[0039] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet 111 is close to the rear end of the housing 11. The air outlet 111 needs to be connected to the air outlet side of the air suction device 14. By placing the air outlet 111 close to the rear end of the housing 11, the air suction device 14 can be installed on the side of the steam generator 13 away from the ironing panel 12, thereby making the layout of components in the housing 11 more reasonable.

[0040] The surface of the area where the air outlet 111 is located can be flush with the surfaces of other areas of the housing 11 , or can be recessed relative to the surfaces of other areas of the housing 11 .

[0041] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a recessed groove 112 is formed on the upper surface of the housing 11 near the rear end of the housing 11, and the air outlet 111 is opened in the recessed groove 112. When steam is blown out of the air outlet 111, some water droplets will form on the surface of the housing 11 near the air outlet 111, and the water droplets can be confined in the recessed groove 112 to prevent them from flowing to other areas of the outer surface of the ironing device, thereby preventing the ironing device from being wet or dripping during use, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 It is a cross-sectional exploded view of an embodiment of the ironing body of the utility model; Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the air guide cover in the utility model. The ironing body 10 further includes an air guide cover 15 installed at the rear end of the housing 11, an air outlet flow channel is formed between the air guide cover 15 and the air outlet side of the air suction device 14, the air outlet flow channel connects the air outlet 111 with the air outlet side of the air suction device 14, and the air guide cover 15 is provided with an air guide inclined surface 151, and the air guide inclined surface 151 is used to guide the airflow to the air outlet 111.

[0043] The distance between the air guide slope 151 and the air intake device 14 gradually increases from bottom to top. The airflow needs to be turned in the process from being blown out from the air outlet side of the air intake device 14 to flowing out of the air outlet 111, that is, it turns to flow toward the air outlet 111 after contacting the guide slope. The air guide slope 151 of the rear cover can make the turning process of the airflow more natural and smooth, prevent airflow turbulence in the air outlet flow channel, and thus further improve the flow stability of the airflow in the casing 11.

[0044] Specifically, the wind guiding inclined surface 151 is configured as a concave arc surface, so as to further improve the stability and smoothness of the airflow when it is turned.

[0045] In practical applications, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the power connection end of the air intake device 14 extends into the air outlet flow channel, and the air guide cover 15 is convexly provided with a shielding portion 152, and the shielding portion 152 is arranged between the air outlet 111 and the power connection end of the air intake device 14. After the steam adheres to the area of ​​the casing 11 around the air outlet 111, water droplets will be formed, and the water droplets will drip into the air outlet flow channel when they gather to a certain extent. The shielding portion 152 can shield the power connection end of the air intake device 14 from water droplets from above, thereby preventing the power connection end of the air intake device 14 from water ingress and causing a short circuit, so as to improve the operating stability of the air intake device 14. In addition, the shielding portion 152 can also hide and protect the wires connected to the power connection end of the air intake device 14, so as to prevent the wires from being exposed to the air outlet 111.

[0046] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the ironing body 10 further includes a noise reduction layer 18 installed at the air outlet 111. The noise reduction layer 18 can be attached to the inner wall surface of the housing 11 corresponding to the air outlet 111, and the noise reduction layer 18 can be configured as noise reduction cotton. The noise reduction layer 18 is used to reduce the noise generated when the airflow flows out of the air outlet 111, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] For example, Figure 4As shown, the ironing body 10 further includes a mounting bracket 16 and a circuit board 17. The mounting bracket 16 includes a fan mounting portion 161, and the fan mounting portion 161 is provided with a flow cavity, and the air suction device 14 is mounted in the flow cavity; the circuit board 17 is connected to one end of the fan mounting portion 161 close to the air outlet 111. The mounting bracket 16 can protect the steam generator 13 and the air suction device 14, so that when the ironing device falls or is bumped, the steam generator 13 and the air suction device 14 can be prevented from being directly subjected to impact force, thereby improving the structural stability of the steam generator 13 and the air suction device 14. The circuit board 17 is used to distribute electrical energy to the steam generator 13 and the air suction device 14 and transmit control signals. The circuit board 17 is mounted on one end of the mounting bracket 16 close to the air outlet 111, so that the airflow carrying steam will not pass through the circuit board 17 after entering the housing 11, so as to prevent water vapor from affecting the circuit board 17, thereby improving the working stability of the circuit board 17.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the mounting bracket 16 further includes a steam mounting portion 162, the steam mounting portion 162 is located between the ironing panel 12 and the fan mounting portion 161, the steam mounting portion 162 is provided with a steam cavity, and the steam generator 13 is mounted in the steam cavity; an air inlet channel is formed between the steam mounting portion 162 and the top wall of the housing 11, and the air inlet channel connects the adsorption hole 122 with the flow cavity. The fan mounting portion 161 is close to the top wall of the housing 11, and after the airflow enters the housing 11 from the adsorption hole 122, it flows along the air inlet channel-flow cavity-air outlet channel to the air outlet 111. Since the air inlet channel is formed between the steam mounting portion 162 and the top wall of the housing 11, and the fan mounting portion 161 is close to the top wall of the housing 11, after the airflow enters the housing 11, it flows along the area close to the top wall of the housing 11, so that the airflow carrying moisture can be reduced from flowing to other parts of the ironing device to affect the electrical components.

[0049] In the technical solution of the ironing device of the present invention, the air outlet is opened on the upper surface of the casing, and the characteristics of steam can be used to make the steam blow out of the air outlet and then go upward and away from the ironing device, thereby preventing the steam blown out of the air outlet from blowing directly toward the user and causing discomfort to the user; it can also reduce the contact of steam with other parts during the process of being discharged from the ironing device, thereby reducing the influence of steam on the internal electrical components of the ironing device, thereby improving the user experience and improving the internal structural stability of the ironing device.

[0050] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
