Therefore, the orientation terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a partial cross-sectional view of the ironing device 100 provided in an embodiment of the utility model. The ironing device 100 includes an ironing body 10, a scale inhibitor 20 and a liquid storage tank 30. The liquid storage tank 30 is used to provide the liquid to be filtered to the scale inhibitor 20. The scale inhibitor 20 is used to filter the liquid to be filtered flowing out of the liquid storage tank 30. The ironing body 10 is used to evaporate the liquid flowing out of the scale inhibitor 20. Thus, the ironing body 10 can heat water to form high-temperature steam, so that the user can use high-temperature steam to iron clothes, curtains, sheets or other fabrics, thereby eliminating wrinkles on the items. Among them, the liquid includes but is not limited to tap water, spring water, etc. The liquid can also include liquids such as fragrance enhancers, softeners, detergents, etc.

[0025] The ironing device 100 may include but is not limited to a hanging iron, an ironing machine or other ironing structures, and the present invention does not limit this. It should be noted that a hanging iron is also called a hanging iron or a vertical iron, which refers to a machine that can hang clothes and fabrics for ironing. An ironing machine refers to an electrical device that can smooth, remove wrinkles and iron clothes through electric heating and the pressure of the ironing body 10. The ironing device 100 can be a handheld ironing device, a vertical ironing device, a car ironing device or a desktop ironing device. For the convenience of description, the present invention takes the ironing device 100 configured as a hanging ironing machine as an example for detailed introduction.

[0026] For example, in this embodiment, the liquid storage tank 30 is detachably connected to the ironing body 10. On the one hand, it is convenient to remove the liquid storage tank 30 from the ironing body 10 for water filling; on the other hand, it is convenient for cleaning, replacement or maintenance. The liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10 can be detachably connected together through, but not limited to, a plug-in structure, a snap-on structure, a magnetic adsorption structure or a locking structure, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the utility model. Of course, in some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10 can also be non-detachably connected, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10, and avoiding the problem of water leakage in the ironing device 100, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0027] The ironing device 100 may have a steam ironing mode and a dry ironing mode, thereby enriching the application scenarios of the ironing device 100. For example, when the ironing device 100 enters the steam ironing mode, the user needs to install the liquid storage tank 30 on the ironing body 10 to achieve high-temperature steam to iron clothes, curtains, sheets or other fabrics. When the ironing device 100 enters the dry ironing mode, the user can remove the liquid storage tank 30 from the ironing body 10 or close the liquid flow path between the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10. Of course, in some embodiments, the ironing device 100 may only have a steam ironing mode.

[0028] It should be noted that Figure 1 The purpose of the illustration is only to schematically describe the arrangement of the ironing body 10, the scale inhibitor 20 and the liquid storage tank 30, and is not to specifically limit the connection position, connection relationship and specific structure of each component. Figure 1 The structure of the ironing device 100 is only shown in the embodiment of the present invention, and does not constitute a specific limitation on the ironing device 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the ironing device 100 may include: Figure 1 More or fewer components, or a combination of certain components, or different components may be shown. For example, the ironing device 100 may also include but is not limited to a temperature sensor or a connecting cable, etc.

[0029] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 1 is an exploded view of a liquid storage tank 30 and a scale inhibitor 20 of an ironing device 100. The scale inhibitor 20 is applied to the ironing device 100. The ironing body 10 is used to heat the liquid flowing out of the scale inhibitor 20. The scale inhibitor 20 includes a scale inhibitor tank 21 and an SP3 filter material 22. The SP3 filter material 22 is arranged in the scale inhibitor tank 21, and the SP3 filter material 22 is used to filter the liquid to be filtered flowing out of the liquid storage tank 30.

[0030] The scale inhibitor 20 provided by the utility model is based on the SP3 filter material 22 arranged in the scale inhibitor box 21. On the one hand, the SP3 filter material 22 can soften tap water, and the ironing body 10 is not easy to generate scale in the process of heating the liquid flowing out of the scale inhibitor 20, thereby avoiding the problem that the ironing body 10 is blocked by scale and the steam generation amount of the ironing device 100 is reduced, thereby improving the ironing effect and extending the service life; on the other hand, the SP3 filter material 22 can shorten the contact reaction time with the scale components of hard water, and facilitate the adjustment of the amount of SP3 filter material 22 in the scale inhibitor box 21, thereby improving the water softening rate and ironing quality, controlling the cost, and reducing the scale generation and sewage discharge.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the SP3 filter material 22 adopts the German Woqi catalytic anti-scaling filter material ( SP3). SP3 filter media 22 is a super active special catalyst that can convert calcium and magnesium hardness into insoluble microcrystals, so that SP3 filter media 22 can convert temporary hardness in water into stable calcium carbonate crystals. The crystals formed by the reaction of SP3 filter media 22 are stable, so scale accumulation will not form. After using SP3 filter media 22 to treat hard water, it will not cause a change in pH. SP3 filter media 22 uses Nucleation Assisted Crystallization (NAC). The reaction occurs on the ceramic glass surface of SP3 filter media 22. Bicarbonate is adsorbed on the "active sites" of the broken glass surface of the catalytic filter media SP3 filter media 22. Unlike any other adsorption, SP3 filter media 22 adsorbs bicarbonate very weakly on the surface and begins to decompose bicarbonate. Therefore, the SP3 filter material 22 is a super fast special catalyst with the following characteristics: (1) good reaction effect, requiring only a few seconds of contact reaction time; (2) no salt or any other chemical agent is required; (3) no backwash wastewater is generated, and it can be applied to areas where water softeners are prohibited, protecting the environment and reducing water consumption; (4) long-lasting and effective products without reaction consumption; (5) no electricity or control valve is required; (6) the product can be used in traditional pressure vessels as well as in POU cylinders, and the product works in a flowing manner; (6) the product works in a flowing manner, etc. For example, for the same hard water, the contact reaction time between the scale components in the hard water and the SP3 filter material 22 is short, about 5 seconds, while the contact reaction time between the scale components in the hard water and the ion exchange resin is long, requiring at least 90 seconds. Therefore, the use of the SP3 filter material 22 can increase the water softening rate, thereby improving the ironing quality of the ironing device 100. For another example, for the same hard water, ion exchange resin is used. Since the amount of ion exchange resin used is relatively large, the scale inhibitor box 21 is larger, and the tap water contains substances that have an impact on the ion exchange resin, such as chloride ions, iron ions, etc., therefore, the scale inhibitor 20 needs to be replaced regularly. The utility model uses SP3 filter material 22. Since the amount of SP3 filter material 22 used is relatively small, the scale inhibitor 20 can be miniaturized. Moreover, the substances in the tap water have little impact on the SP3 filter material 22, thereby reducing the replacement frequency of the scale inhibitor 20 and extending the service life of the scale inhibitor 20.

[0032] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1Schematic diagram of the structure of the ironing body 10 of the ironing device 100. The ironing body 10 includes a steam pipeline 13 and a water pump 14. The steam pipeline 13 is connected to the scale inhibitor 21, and the water pump 14 is used to adjust the liquid flow of the steam pipeline 13. When the hardness of the liquid to be filtered is less than or equal to 400 PPM, the ratio of the amount of SP3 filter material 22 to the flow of the water pump 14 is in the range of 0.15-0.25. It should be noted that the flow of the water pump 14 generally refers to the water output of the water pump 14 when the water outlet is not connected to the pipe. For example, the ratio of the amount of SP3 filter material 22 to the flow of the water pump 14 can be in the range of but not limited to 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24 or 0.25, etc. For example, when the hardness of the liquid to be filtered is less than or equal to 400 PPM and the flow rate of the water pump 14 is 1 L / min, the amount of the SP3 filter material 22 is about 180 ml. Because the amount of the SP3 filter material 22 is related to the flow rate of the water pump 14, for example, when the hardness of the liquid to be filtered is less than or equal to 400 PPM and the flow rate of the water pump 14 is 30 ml / min±3 ml / min (i.e., 27 ml / min-33 ml / min), the amount of the SP3 filter material 22 is about 5 ml-6 ml. In the embodiment of the utility model, based on the accumulated soaking state and error of the SP3 filter material 22, when the flow rate of the water pump 14 is 30ml / min±3ml / min, the dosage of the SP3 filter material 22 is 6ml-8ml, so that the SP3 filter material 22 can be used in precise dosage and the cost is controllable. By designing the dosage of the SP3 filter material 22, the scale prevention effect of the whole machine is achieved, the evaporation efficiency of the steam generator 12 of the ironing device 100 is improved, and the service life of the ironing device 100 is improved. The existing hanging steamer does not use SP3 filter material 22, and the average steam decay rate is greater than or equal to 70% in the life test of the same period of 100 hours +. The hanging steamer provided by the utility model uses SP3 filter material 22 to filter liquid, and the average steam decay rate is within 50% in the life test of the same period of 100 hours +. Therefore, the hanging steamer uses SP3 filter material 22 to improve the evaporation efficiency of the steam generator 12 of the ironing device 100, and prevent scale from clogging the steam pipeline 13.

[0033] The scale-preventing box 21 is provided with a scale-preventing chamber 201, a liquid inlet 202 and a liquid outlet 203. The scale-preventing chamber 201 is connected with the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203. The liquid inlet 202 is used to communicate with the liquid storage tank 30, and the liquid outlet 203 is used to communicate with the steam pipeline 13. The SP3 filter material 22 is arranged in the scale-preventing chamber 201. Therefore, the filtering effect of the SP3 filter material 22 on the water to be filtered is improved, and the problem of the steam generation amount of the ironing device 100 being reduced due to the clogging of the steam pipeline 13 by scale is avoided, thereby improving the ironing effect and extending the service life.

[0034] The SP3 filter material 22 can completely or substantially fill the entire scale inhibition chamber 201, thereby improving the filtering effect of the SP3 filter material 22 on the water to be filtered. Of course, in some embodiments, the SP3 filter material 22 may not completely fill the scale inhibition chamber 201. Therefore, since the SP3 filter material 22 has a higher water softening efficiency, compared with other filter materials, the amount of the SP3 filter material 22 used to filter the same volume of hard water is relatively small, and at the same time, it has a good descaling effect on the water to be filtered, and reduces costs.

[0035] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the scale-inhibiting chamber 201 includes a first cavity 2011 and a second cavity 2012 connected to the first cavity 2011, and a limiting step portion 2013 is formed at the connection between the first cavity 2011 and the second cavity 2012. The limiting step portion 2013 is used to stop the ironing body 10. Therefore, on the one hand, the limiting step portion 2013 can limit the depth of the scale-inhibiting member 20 inserted into the ironing body 10, and realize that the ironing body 10 presses the scale-inhibiting member 20 onto the liquid storage tank 30, thereby preventing the scale-inhibiting member from shifting, thereby improving the safety of the ironing device 100; on the other hand, the limiting step portion 2013 can perform fool-proof positioning for the assembly of the ironing body 10, thereby preventing the ironing body 10 and the scale-inhibiting member 20 from being misaligned, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency between the ironing body 10 and the scale-inhibiting member 20. Of course, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the first cavity 2011 and the inner wall of the second cavity 2012 are smoothly transitioned and connected.

[0036] For example, in this embodiment, the first cavity 2011 is arranged near the liquid outlet 203, and the second cavity 2012 is arranged near the liquid inlet 202, and the projection area of ​​the first cavity 2011 in the direction from the liquid inlet 202 to the liquid outlet 203 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the second cavity 2012 in the direction from the liquid inlet 202 to the liquid outlet 203. Thus, the volume of the SP3 filter material 22 in the second cavity 2012 is increased, so that the liquid to be filtered flowing into the liquid inlet 202 can fully contact the SP3 filter material 22, thereby improving the filtering effect of the SP3 filter material 22.

[0037] In some embodiments, the scale inhibitor 20 further includes a filter 23. The filter 23 may be disposed at the liquid inlet 202; or, the filter 23 may be disposed at the liquid outlet 203; or, the filter 23 may be disposed at the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 respectively. Thus, the filter 23 can prevent the SP3 filter material 22 from leaking from the scale inhibitor tank 21, improve the filtering effect of the SP3 filter material 22, and avoid the problem of the filter material blocking the liquid pipeline; on the other hand, the filter 23 can also be used to intercept impurities in the water to be filtered, thereby reducing the precipitation of debris in the steam pipeline, and improving the ironing effect of the ironing device 100.

[0038] For example, in this embodiment, the filter element 23 is disposed in the scale prevention box 21. Specifically, the scale prevention box 21 is provided with a snap-in groove 206 at the position corresponding to the liquid inlet 202 and / or the liquid outlet 203, and the filter element 23 is disposed in the snap-in groove 206, so as to avoid the filter element 23 from shifting under the impact force of the water flow, and to avoid the problem that the impurities intercepted by the filter element 23 block the liquid inlet 202 and / or the liquid outlet 203. Of course, in some embodiments, the filter element 23 can also be installed in the scale prevention box 21 through a mounting structure.

[0039] The filter element 23 can be configured as an open mesh structure with two ends open, or a semi-open mesh structure with one end open. The open end of the semi-open mesh structure is connected to the liquid inlet 202 or the liquid outlet 203. In some embodiments, the filter element 23 can be configured as a plate-like structure. The plate-like structure covers the liquid inlet 202 and / or the liquid outlet 203.

[0040] The filter element 23 is detachably connected to the anti-scaling box 21, so as to facilitate the replacement and cleaning of the filter element 23. For example, the filter element 23 and the anti-scaling box 21 can be fixedly connected together by, but not limited to, snap-fitting, crimping, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, the filter element 23 and the anti-scaling box 21 are not detachably connected.

[0041] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the scale inhibitor box 21 includes a filter seat 211 and a filter cover 212. The filter seat 211 is connected to the filter cover 212 to form a scale inhibitor chamber 201. The filter cover 212 is detachably connected to the filter seat 211. Therefore, after the SP3 filter material 22 is used for a period of time, the SP3 filter material 22 is taken out and replaced with a new SP3 filter material 22 in the scale inhibitor box 21, thereby reducing the use cost of the ironing device 100 and improving the environmental protection of the scale inhibitor 20. The other components of the scale inhibitor 20 except the SP3 filter material 22 are also long-lasting parts of the scale inhibitor 20. After the filtering effect of the SP3 filter material 22 is reduced, the user can also replace the SP3 filter material 22 by himself, thereby realizing the reusability of the scale inhibitor 20 and further reducing the use cost. The scale inhibitor box 21 includes a sealing ring, and the filter cover 212 and the filter seat 211 can be sealed together through the sealing ring, thereby improving the sealing effect of the filter seat 211 and the filter cover 212. Of course, in some embodiments, after the components in the anti-scaling box 21 are installed, the filter cover 212 and the filter seat 211 may also be connected together in an inseparable manner.

[0042] The scale inhibitor box 21 is provided with a pull-out structure 213. Therefore, based on the additional pull-out structure 213, it is convenient for the user to remove the scale inhibitor 20 from the liquid storage tank 30, which is convenient to operate and improves the convenience of use. Specifically, the end surface of the filter seat 211 facing away from the filter cover 212 is provided with a pull-out structure 213, so as to avoid the problem of assembly interference between the pull-out structure 213 and the ironing body 10 or the liquid storage tank 30. The structural design is reasonable and easy to operate. The pull-out structure 213 can be configured as a protrusion structure; or, it can also be configured as a groove structure.

[0043] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A partial exploded view of the scale inhibitor 20 and the liquid storage tank 30 of the ironing device 100 in FIG. In some embodiments, the scale inhibitor 21 is provided with a first limit portion 215; or, the scale inhibitor 21 is provided with a second limit portion 216; or, the scale inhibitor 21 is provided with a first limit portion 215 and a second limit portion 216. The first limit portion 215 is used to limit the installation position of the scale inhibitor 21 relative to the ironing body 10, and the second limit portion 216 is used to limit the installation position of the scale inhibitor 21 relative to the liquid storage tank 30. Thus, the first limit portion 215 and the second limit portion 216 can limit the assembly of the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10, thereby preventing the assembly misalignment of the SP3 filter material 22, and improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the scale inhibitor 21, the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10.

[0044] Specifically, the ironing body 10 is provided with a first matching structure 1102 that matches the first limiting portion 215. Specifically, at least one of the first limiting portion 215 and the first matching structure 1102 is configured as a positioning groove; at least the other of the first limiting portion 215 and the first matching structure 1102 is configured with a positioning protrusion that matches the positioning groove. The liquid storage tank 30 is provided with a second matching structure 3102 that matches the second limiting portion 216. The second matching structure 3102 is configured as a groove structure, and the second limiting portion 216 is configured as a protrusion structure that matches and is fixed with the groove structure. Therefore, on the one hand, the setting of the second matching structure 3102 can play a positioning role for the second limiting portion 216, and can also collect liquid when the scale-blocking member 20 is removed from the liquid storage tank 30, so as to avoid liquid leakage and improve the use experience.
