Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the clothing ironing technology, and in particular relates to an ironing device with 360-degree water absorption. Background Art

[0002] Steam irons, steam brushes and other ironing devices equipped with water tanks need to transfer the water in the water tank to the vaporization chamber when working. However, when the ironing device changes its posture, such as tilting, the water outlet of the water tank may be higher than the water surface, resulting in water supply interruption. Water supply interruption is a bad phenomenon for ironing that requires continuous steam output.

[0003] The invention patent application with application publication number CN104295769A discloses a multi-channel pumping conversion valve, a multi-channel pumping combination conversion valve and a multi-directional water supply device, which realizes that when the water tank is tilted, at least one of the parts of the water pipe connected to the bottom of the water tank is in a lower position and is submerged by the water in the water tank, ensuring that the water pump can draw water from the water tank. However, this technical solution based on the multi-channel pumping conversion valve to ensure that the water pump can draw water from the water tank is complex in structure and has high manufacturing cost.

[0004] The utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN205669140U discloses a handheld steam brush with a 360-degree water suction tank. The water tank has a water suction hole. The inner end of the water suction hole is connected to a water suction hose. The other end of the water suction hose is fixed with a water suction gravity ball. No matter what posture or angle the steam brush is in when in use, the water suction gravity ball can always roll to the lower position of the water tank according to its own gravity, ensuring that it can continuously absorb water and generate steam to avoid steam interruption. However, when the gravity rolls to the lower position of the water tank, the water suction hose is easily twisted, causing difficulty in water delivery. When the water suction hose has a certain toughness and rigidity to resist twisting, it will hinder the gravity ball from rolling to the lower position of the water tank. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by the utility model are to overcome the defects of the existing ironing devices in ensuring that the water pump can absorb water from the water tank, such as complex structure, high manufacturing cost, easy distortion or obstruction of the gravity ball rolling to the lower position of the water tank, and to provide a 360-degree water-absorbing ironing device which can have a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and enable the end of the water suction pipe to move freely to a lower position as the posture of the ironing device changes and avoid distortion of the water suction pipe.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a 360-degree water-absorbing ironing device, which includes a water tank, a water pump and a vaporization chamber, and is configured such that the water pump transports the stored water in the water tank to the vaporization chamber, and the vaporization chamber vaporizes the transported water into steam, which is released through a steam outlet for ironing, and is characterized in that: a water suction pipe connected to the water pump is arranged in the water tank, and the water suction pipe is configured to be able to rotate freely around an axis so that when the ironing device changes its posture, the end of the water suction pipe always moves toward a low position close to the bottom surface of the water tank.

[0007] Compared with a multi-channel water pumping conversion valve, the water suction pipe configuration structure of the ironing device has a simple structure and low implementation cost.

[0008] In the ironing device, since the water suction pipe can rotate freely around the axis and rotate flexibly, the water suction pipe is not easily twisted, and the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a lower position along the bottom surface of the water tank when the ironing device changes its posture. Therefore, the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a position with a lower water level in the water tank, ensuring that the water pump can absorb water from the water tank when the ironing device changes its posture.

[0009] Therefore, the ironing device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and allows the end of the water suction pipe to move freely to a lower position as the posture of the ironing device changes, avoiding distortion of the water suction pipe, and ensuring that the water pump can absorb water from the water tank when the posture of the ironing device changes.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surface of the water tank is a plane so that the end of the water suction pipe can move without obstruction, and the axis is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water tank so that the water suction pipe always maintains a consistent angle with the bottom surface of the water tank when rotating around the axis, which is conducive to water absorption.

[0011] Preferably, in order to make the water suction pipe rotate flexibly, the water suction pipe rotates around the axis by means of a bearing. Since the bearing rotates flexibly, the water suction pipe can be prevented from twisting.

[0012] Preferably, the water suction pipe comprises a water suction column with a through hole, and the water suction column is assembled on a bearing, thereby ensuring the assembly relationship between the water suction pipe and the bearing and ensuring that the water suction pipe can rotate freely.

[0013] Preferably, the water suction pipe includes a water suction nozzle and a connecting pipe, the connecting pipe is connected between the water suction column and the water suction nozzle, and the water suction nozzle serves as the end of the water suction pipe. Accordingly, the connecting pipe and the water suction nozzle can be made of different materials, such as soft plastic for the connecting pipe and metal or ceramic for the water suction nozzle. Accordingly, the water suction nozzle can be given a larger mass to facilitate the water suction nozzle to be close to the bottom surface of the water tank.

[0014] Preferably, a seat hole is provided on the bottom surface of the water tank, the bearing is located in the seat hole, the water absorption column is provided with a ring edge, and a cover set on the water absorption column constrains the ring edge in the seat hole, thereby ensuring the fluidity of the water channel and the flexible rotation of the water absorption pipe.

[0015] Preferably, an interface communicating with the seat hole is provided on the lower side of the bottom surface of the water tank, and the interface is connected to the water pump via a water pipe. Accordingly, the water pump and the water suction pipe are connected via the seat hole.

[0016] Preferably, in order to avoid water leakage, a sealing member is provided in the seat hole, and the sealing member is configured to allow the through hole of the water absorption column to communicate with the interface through the seat hole without water leakage at the seat hole.

[0017] Preferably, the sealing member is sleeved on the bearing and is squeezed between the water absorption column and the inner wall of the seat hole, thereby avoiding water leakage along the water absorption column or the inner wall of the seat hole.

[0018] Preferably, the contact surface between the sealing member and the water absorption column is smaller than the contact surface between the sealing member and the inner wall of the seat hole. Accordingly, the sealing is achieved while the water absorption pipe is allowed to rotate flexibly.

[0019] The utility model arranges a water suction pipe connected to a water pump in a water tank, and the water suction pipe is arranged to be able to rotate freely around an axis so that when the ironing device changes its posture, the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a low position close to the bottom surface of the water tank. The water suction pipe is flexible to rotate and not easily twisted. When the ironing device changes its posture, the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a low position close to the bottom surface of the water tank. Therefore, the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a position with a lower water level in the water tank, ensuring that the water pump can absorb water from the water tank when the ironing device changes its posture. The utility model has a simple structure and low implementation cost.

[0020] The ironing device of the utility model has a simple structure, a low manufacturing cost and enables the end of the water suction pipe to move freely to a lower position as the posture of the ironing device changes and avoids the water suction pipe from being twisted, thereby ensuring that the water pump can absorb water from the water tank when the posture of the ironing device changes.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a method or product comprising a series of technical features is not necessarily limited to those technical features clearly listed, but may also include other technical features that are not clearly listed and can be included in the method or product.

[0035] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the ironing device includes a water tank 100, a water pump 200 and a vaporization chamber 300 and is configured so that the water pump transfers the water stored in the water tank to the vaporization chamber, and the vaporization chamber vaporizes the transferred water into steam, and the steam is released through a steam outlet not shown in the figure for ironing, and the steam outlet is usually located on the ironing panel. For easy operation, the ironing device also includes a handle 500 for the user to hold. Among them, a water suction pipe 400 connected to the water pump 200 is arranged in the water tank 100, and the water suction pipe 400 is configured to be able to rotate freely around the axis 102 so that when the ironing device changes its posture, the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a lower position close to the bottom surface of the water tank, so the end of the water suction pipe always moves to a position with a lower water level in the water tank 100, ensuring that the water pump sucks water from the water tank when the ironing device changes its posture.

[0037] In particular, the bottom surface 101 of the water tank is a plane, and the axis 102 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 101 of the water tank. The water suction pipe 400 rotates around the axis 102 by means of the bearing 103. Among them, the bottom surface 101 of the water tank is provided with a seat hole 104, and the bearing 103 is placed in the seat hole 104, and the bearing 103 is a rolling bearing. The lower side of the bottom surface 101 of the water tank is provided with an interface 105 connected to the seat hole 104, and the interface 105 is connected to the water pump 200 through the water pipe 201. The water suction pipe 400 includes a water suction column 401 with a through hole 402, a water suction nozzle 403 and a connecting pipe 404, the water suction column 401 is made of plastic, the water suction nozzle 403 is made of stainless steel or hard plastic, and the connecting pipe 404 is made of silica gel or soft plastic. The connecting pipe 404 is connected between the water suction column 401 and the water suction nozzle 403, and the water suction nozzle 403 serves as the end of the water suction pipe 400. The water suction column 401 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 103. Therefore, the entire water suction pipe can rotate freely around the axis of the bearing. In order to maintain the assembly of the water suction pipe, the water suction column 401 is provided with a ring edge 405, and a cover 106 sleeved on the water suction column 401 constrains the ring edge in the seat hole 104, and the cover 106 is clamped on the upper end of the seat hole 104. Furthermore, a seal 107 is provided in the seat hole 104, and the seal 107 is sleeved on the bearing 103 and squeezed between the water absorption column 401 and the inner wall 109 of the seat hole. Moreover, the outer cylindrical surface 108 of the seal 107 contacts the inner wall 109 of the seat hole, and the thinner edge 110 of the seal 107 contacts the water absorption column 401, so the contact surface between the seal 107 and the water absorption column 401 is smaller than the contact surface between the seal 107 and the inner wall 109 of the seat hole, which makes it easy for the bearing to be installed in the seat hole and positioned in the seat hole, and the friction between the water absorption column and the seal is small when the water absorption column rotates, so that the sealing is achieved and the rotation is flexible. The configuration of the seal allows the through hole of the water absorption column to communicate with the interface through the seat hole without leaking water at the seat hole.

[0038] As shown in the figure, when the bottom surface of the water tank of the ironing device is tilted in any direction within a range of 360 degrees (equivalent to the axis 102 tilting in any direction), the entire suction pipe rotates freely to a lower position by its own gravity and supported by the bearing, and the suction nozzle is immersed in the water stored in the water tank, so that the water pump draws water from the water tank and delivers it to the vaporization chamber.
