Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to a locking structure for fixing an iron. Background Art

[0002] Electric irons are one of the most commonly used household appliances in modern times, used to iron clothes. With the improvement of living standards and the advancement of technology, the old-fashioned electric irons have been replaced by modern steam-spraying electric irons with multiple functions such as automatic water spraying, cleaning, temperature adjustment, and sterilization. In this way, there is no need to spray water manually when ironing clothes. Therefore, electric irons now have water tanks installed. In order to facilitate water addition and prevent water from being added by mistake or splashing elsewhere, the water tanks of general electric irons are designed to be detachable.

[0003] The steam spray type electric iron currently used includes two structures, one of which is to directly set the water tank on the electric iron. The water volume of the electric iron of this structure is small, which is extremely inconvenient for large clothes during use. The other is to set an ironing machine used in conjunction with the electric iron. The water volume of the electric iron of this structure can be adjusted, which is more convenient to use. However, since most of the ironing machines currently used only have a mounting cavity for placing the electric iron on the top of the ironing machine, and the electric iron is not fixed, even if it is fixed, it is not firm, and it is not easy to disassemble the electric iron. At the same time, when carrying the electric iron, the electric iron is easy to loosen or fall off, affecting the user experience, and there are certain safety hazards. Even if the prior art is provided with a locking device to lock the electric iron on the ironing machine, the locking device is not firm and the locking device is easy to loosen.

After moving a certain distance (the moving distance is determined by the length of the button 7 exposed outside the ironing machine 2), and when the contact point between the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 39 contacts the highest point of the inclined groove 7; at this time, after the force is eliminated, the first spring 14 is reset, the second movable frame 11 will move back, which will push the lock shaft 12 to move, and the second protrusion 39 will move back. The fifth inclined surface 40 on the fixing shaft 22 will slide relatively through the inclined groove 7 on the fixing shaft 22, so that the lock shaft 12 rotates until the fifth inclined surface 40 slides into the lowest point of the inclined groove 7, thereby fixing the lock buckle 8 and achieving a locking state of the electric iron 1; and in the sliding process, the connection point between the fifth inclined surface 40 and the second plane 41 will abut against the connection point between the third inclined surface 34 and the fourth inclined surface 5, so that the second protrusion 39 drives the first protrusion 31 to move back, so that the first movable frame 10 drives the button 7 to reset. When it is necessary to unlock the electric iron 1, it can be unlocked by pressing the button 7 again.
