Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a steam iron with a diversion structure. Background Art

[0002] A steam iron is a commonly used small household appliance. When in use, tap water needs to be added to the water tank of the steam iron, and the tap water is converted into high-temperature steam through a vaporization chamber, so as to use the high-temperature steam to soften the fiber tissue of the fabric and make the clothes reach a flat and smooth effect.

[0003] The water tank outlet of the traditional steam iron often does not have a diversion mechanism. Therefore, the water in the water tank can only flow from the water outlet to the vaporization chamber in a concentrated manner, which will cause the problem of uneven water distribution in the vaporization chamber. The water volume is more at the position closer to the water outlet, while the water volume is less at the position farther from the water outlet. During the ironing process, if the water volume is more, it is not easy to vaporize, and there will be a bad phenomenon of steam dripping at this position; if the water volume is less, it will cause a higher temperature at this position and there is a risk of burning the fabric.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, a Chinese patent with the publication number of CN219079908U discloses a special water distributor for a steam iron. This water distributor can divide one-way water in the steam iron into multiple-way water and make the multiple-way water flow down to the bottom plate of the steam iron from the water outlet holes at the same time. However, due to the small volume of the water distributor, the number of water outlet ports that can be set is limited, and the positions of the water outlet ports are relatively concentrated. Therefore, in actual application, there will be a problem of poor diversion effect and the problem of uneven water distribution on the bottom plate cannot be completely solved.

Specific embodiments

[0024] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. For a comprehensive understanding of the present invention, many details are described below, but for those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without these details.

[0025] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a steam iron with a diversion structure, comprising a housing (not shown in the figure) and a bottom plate 1. A water tank is provided in the housing, and a steam chamber communicating with the water tank is provided on the bottom plate 1; a deflector 2 is further provided in the steam chamber. The deflector 2 is provided with a water collecting tank 21, and the water collecting tank 21 communicates with the water tank, and a plurality of diversion ports arranged at intervals are provided in the water collecting tank 21. Each diversion port evenly diverts the water in the water collecting tank 21 to different areas of the bottom plate 1. Through the deflector 2, the water in the water tank can be evenly diverted to different areas on the bottom plate 1, so that the water volume distribution on the bottom plate 1 is balanced, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of steam dripping or local high temperature caused by uneven water volume distribution on the bottom plate 1, helping to maintain the balance of the temperature of the bottom plate 1, and improving the service life and use safety of the steam iron.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the diversion ports include a first diversion port 22, a second diversion port 23 and a third diversion port 24. A plurality of first diversion ports 22 are provided on the left and right sides of the water collecting tank 21, and the second diversion port 23 and the third diversion port 24 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the water collecting tank 21. Since the water collecting tank 21 is arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate 1, the first diversion port 22, the second diversion port 23 and the third diversion port 24 arranged around the water collecting tank 21 can ensure uniform coverage of different areas of the bottom plate 1, so that the water volume distribution on the bottom plate 1 is balanced.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, the deflector 2 further includes two dividing ribs 25 disposed outside the water collecting tank 21, and the dividing ribs 25 divide the steam chamber into a first steam chamber 11 and a second steam chamber 12. In this embodiment, since the area of the first steam chamber 11 is larger than that of the second steam chamber 12, the first diversion port 22 and the second diversion port 23 are both located in the first steam chamber 11, and the third diversion port 24 is located in the second steam chamber 12. Thus, the area of the steam chamber is adapted to the allocated water volume, so as to make full use of the heat of the bottom plate 1 to heat the water.

[0028] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the steam iron further includes a water downflow diverter 3 communicating between the water tank and the water collecting tank 21. The middle of the water downflow diverter 3 has a water collecting cavity 31. The upper end of the water downflow diverter 3 is provided with a water inlet communicating with the water tank, and the lower end of the water downflow diverter 3 is provided with a water outlet hole communicating with the water collecting tank 21. The water downflow diverter 3 can play a role in connecting the water tank and the water collecting tank 21, so that the water in the water tank accurately flows into the water collecting tank 21. In practical applications, the water downflow diverter 3 can be directly arranged at the water outlet hole of the water tank, or can be connected to the water outlet hole of the water tank through components such as a connecting pipe or an electromagnetic pump. The specific installation method can be reasonably designed according to the internal structure of the steam iron and is not limited herein.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in this embodiment, a partition 211 is provided in the water collecting tank 21, and the partition 211 divides the water collecting tank 21 into independent first and second water collecting tanks 212 and 213. The lower end of the water downflow diverter 3 is provided with two water outlet holes, namely a first water outlet hole 32 and a second water outlet hole 33. The first water outlet hole 32 communicates with the first water collecting tank 212, and the second water outlet hole 33 communicates with the second water collecting tank 213 through a diversion pipe 34. As a preferred solution, the first diversion port 22 and the third diversion port 24 are both arranged in the first water collecting tank 212, and the second diversion port 23 is arranged in the second water collecting tank 213. Through the first water outlet hole 32 and the second water outlet hole 33 of the water downflow diverter 3, the water from the water tank can be split into two paths, thus playing a role of preliminary splitting, so as to cooperate with the respective diversion ports of the first water collecting tank 212 and the second water collecting tank 213 to further evenly divert these two paths of water to the designated areas of the bottom plate 1, thereby improving the splitting effect and splitting efficiency.

[0030] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , as a preferred solution: the water downflow diverter 3 is made of silica gel material, the diversion pipe 34 is made of a high-temperature resistant aluminum pipe, and the diversion pipe 34 is designed as a bent L-shaped structure.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, in order to be able to divert part of the water to the designated area of the bottom plate 1 in a set direction, in this embodiment, diversion walls 221 are provided on both sides of the first diversion opening 22, and a blocking wall 222 is provided at the first diversion opening 22 of the water collecting tank 21. At the same time, in order to facilitate smooth drainage, in this embodiment, a first drainage ramp 223 inclined along the water flow direction is provided at the first diversion opening 22, and a second drainage ramp 214 inclined along the water flow direction is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 21. Since the water flow directions in the first water collecting tank 212 and the second water collecting tank 213 are opposite, the inclination directions of the second drainage ramps 214 in the first water collecting tank 212 and the second water collecting tank 213 are also opposite.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , in practical applications, the flow deflector 2 can be fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 1 or designed as an independent part and detachably arranged on the bottom plate 1, which is not limited herein.

[0033] The above is only the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modification of the present invention using this concept shall fall within the scope of infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
