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.

[0026] 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 flowing in from 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.

[0027] 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 by applying pressure to the ironing body 10 through electric heating. The ironing device 100 can be a handheld ironing device, a vertical ironing device, a car-type 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 description.

[0028] For example, in the present 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 to fill water; 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 by, 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, and the part of the liquid storage tank 30 exposed relative to the ironing body 10 can be provided with a liquid filling structure, so as to improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the liquid storage tank 30 and the ironing body 10, and avoid the problem of water leakage in the ironing device 100, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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, such as the ironing device 100 may also include but are not limited to a temperature sensor or a connecting cable, etc.

[0031] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of a first embodiment of the ironing device 100 in which the scale inhibitor 20 omits the filter element; Figure 3 yes Figure 2The scale inhibitor 20 of the ironing device 100 in the cross-sectional view omits the filter element. The scale inhibitor 20 is applied to the ironing device 100. The scale inhibitor 20 includes a scale inhibitor tank 21. The scale inhibitor tank 21 is provided with a scale inhibitor chamber 201, a liquid inlet 202 and a liquid outlet 203. The scale inhibitor 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 ironing body 10. A plurality of baffles 25 are provided in the scale inhibitor chamber 201, and at least one baffle 25 is provided with at least two first notches 2511.

[0032] The scale inhibitor 20 provided by the utility model is based on the fact that at least one baffle 25 is provided with at least two first notches 2511. The baffle 25 provided with at least two first notches 2511 can play a diversion role, thereby reducing the pressure and flow of the liquid to be filtered, increasing the safety and stability of each component in the scale inhibitor box 21, and improving the liquid discharge efficiency of the filtered liquid, thereby improving the filtering effect of the scale inhibitor 20 on the liquid to be filtered, as well as improving the ironing effect and service life.

[0033] The scale-blocking member 20 further includes a filter element, which is disposed in the scale-blocking chamber 201 and is used to filter the liquid to be filtered that flows from the liquid storage tank 30 into the scale-blocking tank 21. Thus, the filter element can soften the tap water, and the ironing body 10 is not prone to scale generation during the evaporation process, thereby avoiding the problem that the ironing body 10 is clogged by scale and the steam generation amount of the ironing device 100 is reduced, thereby improving the ironing effect and extending the service life.

[0034] The baffle 25 includes a first plate body 251 and a second plate body 252. The first plate body 251 is provided with at least two first notches 2511, and the second plate body 252 is provided with at least one second notch 2521. Thus, the first notch 2511 and the second notch 2521 can divert and converge the liquid to be filtered, thereby improving the smoothness of the flow of the liquid to be filtered, reducing the energy loss in the process of conveying the liquid to be filtered, and the flow distribution of the fluid in the scale inhibition chamber 201 is more uniform and accurate, thereby improving the filtering effect and filtering rate of the liquid to be filtered.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first notch 2511 and the second notch 2521 are staggered along a preset direction, wherein the preset direction is a direction perpendicular to the direction from the liquid inlet 202 to the liquid outlet 203. Thus, the staggered arrangement of the first notch 2511 and the second notch 2521 can change the flow direction of the liquid to be filtered, increase the turbulent velocity of the liquid to be filtered, enhance the impact force between the liquid to be filtered and the filter element, improve the filtering effect and filtering efficiency, and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the baffle 25 and the scale inhibitor 21. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, all the first notches 2511 and the second notches 2521 are staggered along the preset direction. Of course, in some embodiments, some of the first notches 2511 and the second notches 2521 are arranged relative to each other along the preset direction, and the remaining first notches 2511 and the second notches 2521 are staggered along the preset direction.

[0036] By way of example, in this embodiment, the number of the first notches 2511 is different from the number of the second notches 2521. Specifically, the first notches 2511 are more than the second notches 2521. Two first notches 2511 are correspondingly provided at the two ends of the first plate body 251 or at positions adjacent to the two ends of the first plate body 251, and one second notch 2521 is provided at the middle of the second plate body 252 or at a position adjacent to the middle of the second plate body 252. By way of example, the first notch 2511 is provided at the middle of the first plate body 251, and the two second notches 2521 are respectively provided at the two ends of the second plate body 252. Thus, on the one hand, the number of the first notches 2511 is set to be greater than the second notches 2521, so that the liquid to be filtered can be diverted and converged, thereby improving the smoothness of the flow of the liquid to be filtered, reducing the energy loss in the process of conveying the liquid to be filtered, and the flow distribution of the fluid in the scale inhibition chamber 201 is more uniform and accurate, thereby improving the filtering effect and filtering rate of the liquid to be filtered; on the other hand, the first notch 2511 is set at the end of the baffle 25 to which it belongs, and the second notch 2521 is set in the middle of the baffle 25 to which it belongs, so that each position of the filter element can contact the liquid to be filtered, thereby improving the filtering effect of the filter element. The setting position of the first notch 2511 and the setting position of the second notch 2521 can be set according to factors such as the shape of the scale inhibition box 21, and the embodiment of the utility model does not make specific restrictions. The number of the first notches 2511 and the number of the second notches 2521 are only used for illustration, and the number of the first notches 2511 can include three or more than three, and the number of the second notches 2521 can also include two, three, four or more than four. In some embodiments, the number of the first notches 2511 and the number of the second notches 2521 may both include multiple, and may also be the same, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The width of the first notch 2511 along the extension direction of the first plate body 251 is greater than the width of the second notch 2521 along the extension direction of the second plate body 252, thereby facilitating the rapid passage of the liquid to be dispersed through the first plate body 251, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the scale inhibitor 20. Of course, in some embodiments, the width of the first notch 2511 along the extension direction of the first plate body 251 may also be equal to or less than the width of the second notch 2521 along the extension direction of the second plate body 252, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] For example, in this embodiment, the first plate body 251 is configured as a split plate body, and the second plate body 252 is configured as an integral plate body. The first notch 2511 is spaced apart from the inner cavity wall of the scale inhibition chamber 201, and the second notch 2521 is between the inner cavity wall of the scale inhibition chamber 201 and the side wall of the second plate body 252. It should be noted that the number and position of the first notch 2511 and the second notch 2521 can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the utility model does not specifically limit it. For example, the first notch 2511 can also include multiple notches, and the second notch 2521 can also be spaced apart from the inner cavity wall of the scale inhibition chamber 201.

[0038] Exemplarily, in the present embodiment, the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are arranged alternately and spaced in sequence along the first direction. Specifically, a second plate body 252 is arranged between two adjacent first plate bodies 251. Thus, the liquid to be filtered can be alternately diverted and converged along the first direction, thereby improving the smoothness of the flow of the liquid to be filtered, reducing the energy loss in the process of conveying the liquid to be filtered, and making the flow distribution of the fluid in the scale inhibition chamber 201 more uniform and accurate, thereby improving the filtering effect and filtering rate of the liquid to be filtered. Of course, in some embodiments, at least two second plate bodies 252 are arranged between two adjacent first plate bodies 251. The first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 can be arranged randomly; or, they can also be arranged according to a preset rule, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0039] A plurality of baffles 25 and the scale prevention box 21 form a labyrinth channel 205, and the two ends of the labyrinth channel 205 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203. The filter element is arranged in the labyrinth channel 205. Thus, the flow path of the liquid to be filtered is extended, and the contact time between the liquid to be filtered and the filter element is increased, thereby improving the filtering effect of the filter element on the liquid to be filtered. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the baffle 25 closest to the liquid inlet 202 is the first plate body 251, and the baffle 25 closest to the liquid outlet 203 is the second plate body 252. Therefore, the number of baffles 25 closest to the liquid outlet 203 is greater than the number of baffles 25 closest to the liquid inlet 202. The first plate body 251 can play a converging role, thereby increasing the pressure of the liquid to be filtered and improving the smoothness of the liquid flow. The second plate body 252 can play a diverting role, thereby reducing the pressure and flow rate of the liquid to be filtered, thereby increasing the safety and stability of each component close to the liquid outlet 203 side, and improving the liquid discharge efficiency of the filtered liquid.

[0040] At least one baffle 25 is configured as a bent plate. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are both configured as bent plates, thereby further extending the flow path of the liquid to be filtered, and can also change the flow direction of the liquid to be filtered, increase the turbulent velocity of the liquid to be filtered, enhance the impact force between the liquid to be filtered and the filter element, and improve the filtering effect and filtering efficiency. Of course, in some embodiments, one of the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 is configured as a bent plate, and the other of the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 is configured as a straight plate; or, both the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are configured as straight plates.

[0041] For example, in this embodiment, the plurality of baffles 25 are independently arranged. The plurality of baffles 25 are integrally formed with the scale inhibitor box 21, so as to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the scale inhibitor and improve the reliability of the connection between the baffle 25 and the scale inhibitor box 21. The plurality of baffles 25 are arranged at intervals along the direction from the liquid inlet 202 to the liquid outlet 203. Specifically, the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are arranged at intervals. Of course, in some embodiments, the plurality of baffles 25 can also be configured as an integral structure. For example, the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are connected, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0042] For example, in this embodiment, the bending direction of the first plate 251 is opposite to the bending direction of the second plate 252. Thus, the path of the labyrinth channel 205 is further extended, the liquid is better guided to change the flow direction, the liquid to be filtered is caused to tumble, the turbulent speed of the liquid is increased, and the filtering effect and filtering efficiency of the filter element are improved. Of course, in some embodiments, the bending direction of the first plate 251 is the same as the bending direction of the second plate 252, so as to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the first plate 251 and the second plate 252.

[0043] The shape of the first plate body 251 and the shape of the second plate body 252 are respectively roughly V-shaped. Of course, in some embodiments, the shape of the first plate body 251 and the shape of the second plate body 252 can also be, but not limited to, wavy, U-shaped or other shapes, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Along the height direction of the ironing device 100, the height of the first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 is the same as the height of the scale inhibition box 21. The first plate body 251 and the second plate body 252 are in contact with the top wall and the bottom wall of the scale inhibition box 21, so that the liquid to be filtered can be in contact with the filter element for a longer time, thereby improving the filtering effect of the filter element on the liquid to be filtered.

[0044] The filter element is used to filter the liquid to be filtered flowing in from the liquid storage tank 30. In this embodiment, the filter element can be configured as SP3 filter material. Therefore, based on the configuration of the filter element as SP3 filter material, the contact reaction time between the scale component of hard water and the SP3 filter material is shortened, and the amount of SP3 filter material is conveniently adjusted, thereby improving the water softening rate and ironing quality, controlling the cost, and reducing the scale generation and sewage discharge. Of course, in some embodiments, the filter element can also be configured as but not limited to an ion exchange resin structure, an activated carbon structure, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the scale inhibitor 20 further includes a filter 23, and the filter 23 is disposed at the liquid inlet 202 and / or the liquid outlet 203. Specifically, the number of the filter 23 includes one, and the filter 23 can be disposed at the liquid inlet 202; or, the filter 23 can be disposed at the liquid outlet 203; or, the number of the filter 23 includes two, and the two filter elements 23 can be disposed at the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203, respectively. Thus, the provision of the filter 23 can prevent the filter element from leaking from the scale inhibitor box 21, improve the filtering effect of the filter element, and avoid the problem of 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 pipe, and improving the ironing effect of the ironing device 100.

[0046] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The scale inhibitor 20 of the ironing device 100 in the second embodiment omits the filter element. In the second embodiment, the scale inhibitor 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. Specifically, a stopper 2121 is provided in the scale inhibitor box 21, and the filter element 23 is clamped between the stopper 2121 and the scale inhibitor box 21. The filter element 23 is clamped between the stopper 2121 and the groove wall of the snap-in groove 206, so as to avoid the displacement of the filter element 23 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. In other embodiments, the filter element 23 can also be clamped between the scale inhibitor box 21 and the filter element. The filter element 23 can also be separately provided on the scale inhibitor box 21. For example, 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.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment, the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 are both extended along the vertical direction F1 of the ironing device 100, thereby saving the space occupied by the ironing device 100 in the horizontal direction F2 and increasing the space occupied by the ironing device 100 in the vertical direction F1. Figure 3As shown, in the second embodiment, the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 are both extended along the horizontal direction F2 of the ironing device 100, thereby saving the space occupied by the ironing device 100 in the vertical direction F1 and increasing the space occupied by the ironing device 100 in the horizontal direction F2. Of course, in other embodiments, at least one of the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 can be extended along the vertical direction F1 of the ironing device 100; at least one of the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 can be extended along the horizontal direction F2 of the ironing device 100. The liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction F1 of the ironing device 100, so that a water level difference is formed between the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203, thereby facilitating the flow of liquid. Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid inlet 202 and the liquid outlet 203 are arranged flush along the vertical direction F1 of the ironing device 100.

[0048] 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.

[0049] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Exploded view of the second embodiment of the scale inhibitor 20 of the ironing device 100 in which the filter element is omitted. In some embodiments, the scale inhibitor box 21 is provided with a collecting groove 207 on the bottom wall of the liquid outlet 203. Thus, on the one hand, the filtered liquid can be collected in the collecting groove 207, thereby increasing the outflow speed of the filtered liquid; on the other hand, the collecting groove 207 can play a positioning role in the installation of the filter element 23, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0050] Exemplarily, in the present embodiment, the scale inhibitor box 21 includes a filter seat 211 and a filter cover 212. The filter seat 211 is sealed and 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. Thus, after the filter element has been used for a period of time, the filter element is taken out and replaced with a new filter element 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 filter element are also long-lasting parts of the scale inhibitor 20. After the filtering effect of the filter element is reduced, the user can also replace the filter element 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 and connected together through the sealing ring, thereby improving the sealing effect of the filter seat 211 and the filter cover 212.
