[0035] 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. In the related art, the water tank of the ironing machine is installed at the end of the handle, but the size relationship between the water tank and the handle is not reasonably designed, resulting in poor grip comfort and stability when the user holds the handle.

[0036] The utility model provides an ironing device, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the holding comfort and stability of the ironing device when it is used.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 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 projection diagram of an embodiment of the ironing device of the present invention.

[0038] The ironing device comprises: an ironing body 10, wherein the ironing body 10 comprises a casing 11, an ironing panel 12 and a steam generator installed in the casing 11, wherein the ironing panel 12 is installed at the front end of the casing 11; a handle 20, wherein the handle 20 comprises a first gripping portion 21, a first connecting portion 22 and a second connecting portion 23, wherein the first connecting portion 22 is arranged at the top end of the first gripping portion 21, and the second connecting portion 23 is arranged at the bottom end of the first gripping portion 21, and the first connecting portion 22 is connected to the casing 11; a water tank 30, wherein the water tank 30 is connected to the second connecting portion 23, and the water tank 30 is communicated with the steam generator; the front side wall of the water tank 30 protrudes from the front side wall of the second connecting portion 23, and the front side wall of the water tank 30 and the front side wall of the second connecting portion 23 are connected at a concave arc transition; the rear side wall of the water tank 30 and the rear side wall of the second connecting portion 23 are connected at a flush transition.

[0039] 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. 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 width of the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23 is greater than the width of the first gripping portion 21, so that the first gripping portion 21 is more suitable for the user to hold, and the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23 can respectively improve the connection strength with the ironing body 10 and the water tank 30. The water tank 30 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 30 with the water inlet of the steam generator, so that the water in the water tank 30 can be sucked into the steam generator for vaporization. After the water forms steam, it will be sprayed from the steam outlet of the steam generator, and finally sprayed from the steam hole of the ironing panel 12.

[0040] The handle 20 may be provided with a control button, which is electrically connected to the steam generator and the water pump through a circuit board. When the ironing device needs to be used, 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 clothing. The steam holes of the ironing panel 12 may spray high-temperature steam, which may increase the temperature and humidity of the clothing to improve the plasticity of the clothing; applying external force to the clothing may cause the clothing to deform or the clothing to deform under its own gravity, so that the clothing will be flatter after cooling.

[0041] Connecting the water tank 30 to the bottom end of the handle 20 can lower the overall center of gravity of the ironing device, thereby improving the user's grip stability. In addition, by making the front side wall of the water tank 30 protrude from the front side wall of the second connection part 23, and making the front side wall of the water tank 30 and the front side wall of the second connection part 23 transition in a concave arc at the connection, the user's hand can be partially supported at the connection between the water tank 30 and the second connection part 23 when holding the handle 20, that is, the water tank 30 can provide support for the user's hand, thereby improving the user's grip comfort and stability; and by making the rear side wall of the water tank 30 and the rear side wall of the second connection part 23 transition flush at the connection, the handle 20 and the water tank 30 as a whole can be more flat at the rear wall surface, thereby improving the appearance integrity of the ironing device.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the angle a formed at the connection between the front side wall of the second connection part 23 and the front side wall of the water tank 30 is set to 130° to 160°, and can be specifically 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155° or 160°, etc. If the angle a is less than 130°, the water tank 30 is too protruding, resulting in the user's hand being unable to stretch naturally, thereby causing the support touch feeling of the user's hand to be uncomfortable; or if the angle a is greater than 160°, the water tank 30 cannot provide effective support to the hand, thereby causing the support effect of the user's hand to be poor; therefore, setting the angle a formed at the connection between the front side wall of the second connection part 23 and the front side wall of the water tank 30 to 130° to 160° can not only improve the support touch feeling experience of the user's hand, but also effectively ensure the auxiliary support effect of the user's hand, so as to further improve the comfort and stability of the user when holding the handle 20.

[0043] For example, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The projection diagram of another embodiment of the ironing device of the utility model is as follows. The two sides of the water tank 30 in the left and right directions protrude from the left and right side walls of the second connecting portion 23, and the two sides of the water tank 30 in the left and right directions respectively form a concave arc transition with the left and right side walls of the second connecting portion 23 at the connection point.

[0044] The left and right directions of the water tank 30, that is, the directions perpendicular to the front and rear directions in the horizontal direction, respectively protrude the two sides of the water tank 30 from the left and right side walls of the second connection part 23, so that the connection between the left and right sides of the water tank 30 and the second connection part 23 can also play an auxiliary supporting role for the user's hands, so as to further increase the user's holding stability; and the two sides of the water tank 30 in the left and right directions are respectively connected to the left and right side walls of the second connection part 23 in a concave arc transition at the connection, which can improve the contact comfort of the user's hands when they are supported at the two connections, so as to improve the user's holding experience.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least part of the outer surface of the bottom of the water tank 30 is set as a convex surface to form a second grip portion. The first grip portion 21 can be held by a user with one hand (for example, the right hand). When the user feels tired after operating the ironing device with one hand for a period of time, the other hand (left hand) can be held on the second grip portion to form a two-handed operation to reduce the burden of the single hand. In this way, the ironing device can meet the user's holding needs at different times to improve the user experience. Setting the outer surface of the second grip portion as a convex surface can also improve the comfort of the user's hand when holding.

[0046] The water tank 30 may be detachably connected to the second connection portion 23 , or may be non-detachably connected to the second connection portion 23 .

[0047] Exemplarily, the water tank 30 is detachably connected to the second connection portion 23, so that when the water tank 30 needs to be refilled, the user can remove the water tank 30 from the bottom of the handle 20 to refill water, thereby improving the convenience of the water refilling process.

[0048] The water inlet 31 of the water tank 30 may be located at the top of the water tank 30 or at the bottom of the water tank 30 .

[0049] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the water tank in the utility model. A water inlet 31 is provided at the top of the water tank 30, and a sealing plug 32 is provided at the water inlet 31, and the sealing plug 32 is used to open or close the water inlet 31. The sealing plug 32 can be movably installed at the water inlet 31, or can be detachably installed at the water inlet 31, and there is no limitation here, as long as the sealing plug 32 can open or close the water inlet 31. When the water tank 30 is connected to the handle 20, the top of the water tank 30 will be covered by the bottom of the handle 20, so that the water inlet 31 at the top of the water tank 30 can also be hidden, thereby preventing the water inlet 31 from being opened by mistake when the water tank 30 does not need to be replenished with water, so as to improve the use stability of the ironing device.

[0050] The water tank 30 and the handle 20 may be connected by snap-fitting or by fasteners, which is not limited here.

[0051] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6The structure diagram of an embodiment of the handle of the utility model is shown in FIG. The handle 20 further includes a bottom cover 24, which covers the bottom opening of the second connecting portion 23; the bottom cover 24 is provided with a connecting boss 241, and the top of the water tank 30 is provided with a connecting groove 33, and the connecting boss 241 and the connecting groove 33 are detachably matched. In this way, the matching area between the bottom cover 24 and the water tank 30 can be increased, so as to improve the connection stability of the water tank 30 and the handle 20 in the connected state.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the peripheral wall of the connecting boss 241 is provided with a limiting boss 242, and the groove wall of the connecting groove 33 is provided with a limiting groove 331. The connecting boss 241 and the connecting groove 33 are rotatably matched, and the limiting boss 242 rotates with the connecting boss 241 to have a locking position and an unlocking position, and the locking position is located in the limiting groove 331;

[0053] The groove wall of the connecting groove 33 is also provided with a guide groove 332 extending along the depth direction, and one end of the guide groove 332 passes through the notch of the connecting groove 33 so that the limiting protrusion 242 can enter the guide groove 332; the unlocking position is located at the other end of the guide groove 332; when the limiting protrusion 242 is in the locking position, the limiting protrusion 242 cooperates with the limiting groove 331 to limit the connecting boss 241 from withdrawing from the connecting groove 33; when the limiting protrusion 242 is in the unlocking position, the guide groove 332 is used for the limiting protrusion 242 to withdraw from the connecting groove 33.

[0054] When the connecting boss 241 cooperates with the connecting groove 33, the connecting boss 241 first enters the connecting groove 33 along the depth direction of the connecting groove 33, and at this time, the limiting boss 242 moves to the unlocking position along the guide groove 332; after the limiting boss 242 reaches the unlocking position, the user rotates the water tank 30 so that the limiting boss 242 enters the locking position, that is, enters the limiting groove 331, and the limiting boss 242 cooperates with the limiting groove 331 to limit the connecting boss 241 from exiting the connecting groove 33, thereby achieving fixed cooperation between the connecting boss 241 and the connecting groove 33. When the water tank 30 needs to be removed, the water tank 30 can be rotated first so that the limiting boss 242 moves to the unlocking position, that is, exits the limiting groove 331; then the connecting boss 241 is pulled out of the connecting groove 33, and at this time, the limiting boss 242 can exit the connecting groove 33 along the guide groove 332.

[0055] In practical applications, as shown in 7, Figure 7It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of a water tank in the utility model. An air inlet 34 is also provided on the top of the water tank 30, and a one-way valve 37 is installed at the air inlet 34. The one-way valve 37 is used to conduct air from the outside of the water tank 30 to the inside of the water tank 30. When the water in the water tank 30 is pumped to the steam generator by the water pump, external air needs to enter the water tank 30 to balance the internal air pressure of the water tank 30 and ensure that the water in the water tank 30 can be smoothly pumped out. The air inlet 34 is used to allow external air to enter the water tank 30, and the one-way valve 37 is used to prevent the water in the water tank 30 from flowing out of the air inlet 34. The one-way valve 37 can be set as a duckbill valve to simplify the specific structure of the one-way valve 37.

[0056] The water tank 30 may be a single-layer shell structure or a double-layer shell structure, which is not limited here.

[0057] For example, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The structure disassembly diagram of an embodiment of the water tank 30 in the utility model. The water tank 30 includes a water tank body 35 and a water tank shell 36. The water tank body 35 is installed in the water tank shell 36, and the water tank shell 36 is connected to the second connecting portion 23. The water tank shell 36 can protect the water tank body 35 to prevent the water tank body 35 from being easily deformed or damaged. During the process of disassembling the water tank 30 or when the water tank 30 is bumped, the external force will not directly act on the water tank body 35, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the water tank 30.

[0058] In the technical solution of the ironing device of the utility model, the water tank is connected to the second connecting part at the lower end of the handle, which can lower the overall center of gravity of the ironing device, so as to improve the stability when the user holds it; in addition, the front side wall of the water tank is protruded from the front side wall of the second connecting part, and the front side wall of the water tank and the front side wall of the second connecting part are transitioned into a concave arc surface at the connection, so that when the user holds the handle, the hand can be partially supported at the connection between the water tank and the second connecting part, so as to improve the comfort and stability of the user's holding; and the rear side wall of the water tank and the rear side wall of the second connecting part are transitioned flush at the connection, so that the handle and the water tank as a whole can be smoother on the rear wall surface, so as to improve the appearance integrity of the ironing device.

[0059] 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.
