The winding column 30 of the above electric iron actually forms a water tank of the electric iron. However, the patent sets the adjustment knob 21 on the top surface of the hand grip above the water tank, and it is necessary to form a mounting column inside the water tank for installing the temperature adjustment rod, which not only increases the production cost of the water tank accessories, but also because the water tank is already small in size and the water outlet control component is already installed inside it, setting the mounting column will occupy a larger volume space, reducing the water storage capacity of the water tank.

[0004] In addition, refer to Figure 2 The water outlet control assembly of the electric iron mainly includes a water outlet valve rod 401, a spring 402, a lower gear rod 403, an upper gear rod 404 and a rotating cap 405, wherein an inclined block 4031 is provided on the upper convex tooth side of the lower gear rod 403, and a V-shaped protrusion 4041 matching with the inclined block 4031 is correspondingly provided on the lower convex tooth side of the upper gear rod 404, and the upper gear rod 404 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotating cap 405, so that the V-shaped protrusion 4041 of the upper gear rod 404 rises or falls along the inclined surface of the inclined block 4031, thereby raising or lowering the water outlet valve rod 401 to control the opening or closing of the water outlet. The accessory structure of the water outlet control assembly of this knob structure is relatively complex, the accessory cost is high, and the assembly is relatively cumbersome.
