Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clothing care, and more specifically, to a clothing care machine. Background Art

[0002] The common layout of high-pressure steam ironing machines on the market at present is that the steam generation boiler is placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the main machine housing, and the water tank and the steam ironing assembly are placed at the upper end of the outer side of the main machine housing. Moreover, the water tank and the steam ironing assembly are placed on both sides of the upper end of the outer side of the main machine housing relatively. The advantage of this is that the internal water circuit, steam pipeline and electronic circuit are arranged towards different sides, and the structure is simplified and convenient for installation. The disadvantage is that the high-pressure steam ironing machine has a large amount of steam, and the water tank needs to be refilled relatively frequently. When placed on both sides, it is inconvenient for users to take the water tank to add water, pour water, and observe the water level.

[0003] Therefore, based on the problem that it is inconvenient to take the water tank to add water, pour water, and observe the water level of the high-pressure steam ironing machine, designing a high-pressure steam ironing machine that is convenient to take the water tank and observe the water level is an urgent research object at present. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to solve or improve the technical problem that it is inconvenient to take the water tank to add water, pour water, and observe the water level in the existing clothing care machine.

[0005] The utility model provides a clothing care machine.

[0006] The clothing care machine provided by the utility model includes: a machine base, an accommodation cavity is arranged inside the machine base, and a water tank installation position and an ironing installation position are arranged on the same outer side of the machine base; a water tank, which is detachably installed at the water tank installation position; an ironing assembly, which is detachably installed at the ironing installation position; a steam generator, which is installed in the accommodation cavity and includes a water inlet and a steam outlet. The water inlet is connected to the water tank, the steam outlet is connected to the ironing assembly, and the water inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator.

[0007] The clothes care machine provided by the utility model comprises a machine base, a water tank, an ironing assembly and a steam generator. An accommodation cavity is arranged inside the machine base, and a water tank installation position and an ironing installation position are arranged on the same outer side of the machine base; the water tank can be detachably installed at the water tank installation position; the ironing assembly can be detachably installed at the ironing installation position; the steam generator is installed in the accommodation cavity and comprises a water inlet and a steam outlet. The water inlet is connected to the water tank, and the steam outlet is connected to the ironing assembly. The water inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on two opposite sides of the steam generator. The clothes care machine provided by the utility model has the characteristics of high pressure and large amount of steam. The water tank and the ironing assembly are arranged on the same outer side of the machine base. In this way, during the ironing process, the user can observe the water level at any time, thus avoiding the phenomenon of dry burning. In addition, when the amount of water is small, it is easier to take out the water tank to add water and other operations. For related clothes care machines, the water tank and the ironing assembly are usually arranged on two sides of the machine base, which is not conducive to operations such as changing water and observing the water level. In addition, the water inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on two opposite sides of the steam generator, so that the steam generated by the steam outlet will not be affected by the cold water at the water inlet, which is conducive to generating high-temperature and large amounts of water vapor.

[0008] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water tank installation position and the ironing installation position are arranged adjacent to each other along a first direction of the machine base, and the water inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on two opposite sides of the steam generator along a second direction of the machine base.

[0009] In this technical solution, the water tank installation position and the ironing installation position are arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction of the machine base, where the first direction is the length direction, that is, the left-right direction when the user normally uses the machine. The water inlet and the steam outlet of the steam generator are arranged along the second direction of the machine base, and the second direction is the width direction, where the width direction is the front-back direction when the user normally uses the machine. This kind of setting can make the water inlet and the steam outlet of the steam generator as far away from each other as possible, so as to avoid interference between the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline. At the same time, this kind of setting can also make the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline of the steam generator more concise.

[0010] In some technical solutions, optionally, along the second direction, the steam outlet is located on the side of the water inlet away from the water tank installation position.

[0011] In this technical solution, the steam outlet is located on the side of the water inlet away from the water tank installation position. Generally, the water tank installation position is the front side. Therefore, the steam outlet is generally located at the rear side, which is more convenient for the arrangement of the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline.

[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water tank installation position includes a first installation groove, and the ironing installation position includes a second installation groove. The water tank can be inserted into the first installation groove, and the ironing assembly can be inserted into the second installation groove.

[0013] In this technical solution, the water tank is installed through the first installation groove, and the ironing assembly is installed through the second installation groove, which can ensure the stability of the water tank and the ironing assembly, without the need to set up other installation structures, and the process of disassembling the water tank is very convenient.

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, a visualization area is provided on the water tank, and the water level in the water tank can be observed through the visualization area.

[0015] In this technical solution, by providing a visualization area on the water tank, users can always observe the water level in the water tank, so as to perform the water replenishment operation in a timely manner.

[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, water level scale lines are provided on the water tank.

[0017] In this technical solution, water level scale lines are provided on the water tank, so that users can more intuitively know the water level situation. For example, the water level scale lines can have a minimum water level line and a maximum water level line. In this way, when the water level is lower than the minimum water level line, users need to replenish water in a timely manner and fill the water up to the maximum water level line.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, an avoidance hole is provided at the water tank installation position, a drainage channel is provided on the water tank, and the garment care machine further includes: a drainage valve, disposed at a first position of the drainage channel and closing the drainage channel; a push rod, disposed inside the machine base. When the water tank is installed at the water tank installation position, the push rod can pass through the avoidance hole and be inserted into the drainage channel, and push the drainage valve to move from the first position to the second position to open the drainage channel.

[0019] In this technical solution, an avoidance hole is provided at the water tank installation position, a drainage channel is provided on the water tank, and the garment care machine further includes a drainage valve and a push rod. The drainage valve is disposed at a first position of the drainage channel and closes the drainage channel; the push rod is disposed inside the machine base. When the water tank is not installed at the water tank installation position, the drainage valve can close the drainage channel. When the water tank is installed at the water tank installation position, the push rod can pass through the avoidance hole and be inserted into the drainage channel, and push the drainage valve to move from the first position to the second position, thereby opening the drainage channel. For the garment care machine of the present utility model, when the water tank is removed, the drainage channel can be automatically closed, thereby preventing the water in the water tank from flowing out. After the water tank is installed, the drainage channel can be automatically opened, thereby ensuring the connection between the water tank and the steam generator to generate high-temperature steam. Throughout the process, users do not need to manually adjust the water valve.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, the garment care machine further includes a filter, installed inside the machine base, for filtering the water from the drainage channel and then outputting it.

[0021] In this technical solution, the clothes care machine further includes a filter, which is installed inside the machine base, for example, below the drainage channel. In this way, the water can be filtered by the filter and then output, so as to prevent impurities in the water from flowing into the steam generator and reducing the service life of the steam generator. In the related solutions, the filter is arranged in the water tank, which results in a relatively large volume of the water tank. When the user takes out the water tank and adds water, the filter also needs to be moved, increasing the operation difficulty.

[0022] Optionally, the top surface of the filter is flush with the bottom wall surface of the first installation groove. When the water tank is installed in the first installation groove, the bottom surface of the water tank contacts the top surface of the filter and the bottom wall surface of the first installation groove.

[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water tank installation position includes a first installation groove for placing the water tank. The bottom of the first installation groove is recessed into the machine base to form a recess. The filter is installed in the recess. The ejector rod is arranged at one end of the filter close to the drainage channel. A drainage joint is arranged on the bottom wall of the recess, and the drainage joint is used to connect with the water tank.

[0024] In this technical solution, the bottom of the first installation groove is recessed into the machine base to form a recess, and the filter is installed in the recess. In this way, the filter can be fixed by the recess. The ejector rod is arranged at one end of the filter close to the drainage channel. In the process of installing the water tank, the ejector rod can pass through the avoidance hole and insert into the drainage channel, thereby opening the drainage channel. A drainage joint is arranged on the bottom wall of the recess, and the drainage joint is used to connect with the steam generator. In this way, the water in the water tank can be transported to the steam generator through the drainage joint. Among them, the water in the water tank sequentially passes through the drainage channel, the filter, the drainage joint, and finally is transported into the steam generator.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water tank includes an air inlet. The clothes care machine further includes: a pump body, which is installed in the accommodation cavity and is used to connect the water inlet and the water tank, and is used to pump the water in the water tank from the water inlet to the steam generator. The pump body further includes an exhaust port; a first exhaust channel, which is arranged in the water tank and is communicated with the air inlet. The end of the first exhaust channel far from the air inlet is higher than the highest designed water level of the water tank; a second exhaust channel, which is used to communicate the exhaust port and the air inlet.

[0026] In this technical solution, the pump body is used to transport the water in the water tank to the steam generator, and the pump body includes an exhaust port. The water tank is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet is communicated with the first exhaust passage, and the air inlet of the water tank is communicated with the exhaust port of the pump body. During the operation of the pump body, negative pressure will be generated inside it, and the negative pressure will cause gas to be generated inside the pump body, affecting the pumping efficiency of the pump body. In this application, an exhaust port is provided on the pump body. At the same time, the exhaust port is communicated with the air inlet of the water tank, and the air inlet of the water tank is also communicated with the first exhaust passage. One end of the first exhaust passage away from the air inlet is higher than the highest liquid storage position of the water tank. Therefore, the gas generated by the negative pressure in the pump body can be sequentially transported to the inside of the water tank through the exhaust port of the pump body, the air inlet of the water tank, and the first exhaust passage. At the same time, the exhaust port of the pump body is communicated with the water tank. On the one hand, it can collect the liquid water carried out when the pump body exhausts, so as to realize the recycling of the liquid water and avoid the waste of water resources. In addition, the first exhaust passage has two ends, one end is the air inlet, which is connected to the exhaust port of the pump body, and the other end is connected to the internal space of the water tank. One end of the first exhaust passage away from the air inlet is higher than the highest liquid storage position of the water tank, which can prevent the water in the water tank from entering the pump body through the first exhaust passage. That is, the first exhaust passage has an anti-backflow structure, which can ensure the exhaust function of the first exhaust passage and improve the operation reliability of the ironing machine.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the clothing care machine further includes: a first magnetic floating induction element disposed in the water tank; a first magnetic detection element installed in the machine base for detecting whether there is a first magnetic floating induction element within a first target range to determine whether the water tank is correctly installed.

[0028] In this technical solution, by disposing a first magnetic floating induction element in the water tank and a first magnetic detection element in the machine base, when the water tank is correctly installed on the machine base, the first magnetic floating induction element can be located within the first target range of the first magnetic detection element. For example, the first target range can be from 5 cm to 10 cm, and the first magnetic detection element can sense the first magnetic floating induction element, thereby determining that the water tank is correctly installed. When the water tank is not installed on the machine base or the water tank is installed incorrectly, the first magnetic floating induction element is outside the target range of the first magnetic detection element, and the first magnetic detection element cannot sense the first magnetic floating induction element, thereby determining that the water tank is not installed in place, so that the user can be reminded in time to avoid the water tank not being installed in place.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the clothing care machine further includes: a second magnetic floating induction element disposed in the water tank and capable of floating up and down following the liquid level of the water tank; a second magnetic detection element installed on the machine base for detecting whether there is a second magnetic floating induction element within a second target range to determine whether the water level of the water tank is lower than a first water level.

[0030] In this technical solution, the principle of detecting the water level is the same as that of detecting whether the water tank is correctly installed. During the ironing process, as the liquid level in the water tank gradually decreases, when the second magnetic floating induction element is detected by the second magnetic detection element, it indicates that the water level in the water tank is too low at this time, and timely water replenishment is required. By setting the second magnetic floating induction element and the second magnetic detection element in the present utility model, when the water level is too low, the user can know immediately, avoiding dry burning. In addition, compared with setting a liquid level sensor in the water tank, there is no need to set signal transmission lines, etc., and it is simpler when disassembling the water tank. For example, the second target range can also be 5 cm to 10 cm.

[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, the machine base includes: a base; an upper cover assembly, including an upper cover part and a back plate part. The back plate part is arranged on the base, the upper cover part surrounds one side of the back plate part and is connected to the base. The back plate part protrudes from the upper cover part in a direction away from the base. The upper cover part, the back plate part and the base enclose a receiving cavity; wherein, the water tank installation position and the ironing installation position are arranged on the side of the upper cover part away from the base. When the water tank is installed in the water tank installation position, the water tank is in contact with the back plate part. When the ironing assembly is installed in the ironing installation position, the ironing board of the ironing assembly faces the back plate part.

[0032] In this technical solution, the machine base includes a base and an upper cover assembly. The upper cover assembly is installed on the base and encloses a receiving cavity with the base. The upper cover assembly includes an upper cover part and a back plate part. The back plate part is arranged on one side of the upper cover part and extends in a direction away from the base, and the back plate part protrudes upward relative to the upper cover part. When the water tank is installed in the water tank installation position, the water tank is in contact with the back plate part. When the ironing assembly is installed in the ironing installation position, the ironing board of the ironing assembly faces the back plate part. In this way, the water tank can be supported by the back plate part to prevent the water tank from falling off the installation position during movement. At the same time, the ironing assembly is protected by the back plate part. On the one hand, it prevents the ironing board from being soiled, and on the other hand, it prevents the ironing board from scalding the user when the ironing machine has just been used. In addition, the water tank installation position and the ironing installation position are arranged on the same side of the upper cover assembly, which is convenient for the user to operate the water tank and the ironing assembly on the same side of the clothes care machine. In addition, this kind of setting can also reduce the thickness of the base, making the overall shape of the clothes care machine flat and not bulky, making the clothes care machine thinner, structurally compact, with high space utilization rate, and thus facilitating the storage of the clothes care machine and improving the convenience of using the clothes care machine.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the garment care machine further includes a locking component disposed on the machine base. The locking component includes a pressing member and a locking member. The locking member is movably connected to the machine base, and the pressing member is connected to the locking member and is used to drive the locking member to move between a third position and a fourth position. Wherein, when the pressing member is in an unpressed state, the locking member is located at the third position, and the locking member can be tightly engaged with the ironing component installed at the ironing installation position. When the pressing member is in a pressed state, the locking member is located at the fourth position, and the locking member is disengaged from the ironing component.

[0034] In this technical solution, the ironing component is locked by setting a locking component on the machine base to prevent users and children from being scalded due to accidental operation. Specifically, the ironing component can be installed on the machine base, and a locking component is set on the machine base. The locking component includes a pressing member and a locking member. The locking member is movably connected to the machine base, and the locking member can move back and forth along the machine base. The pressing member is connected to the locking member, and the locking member can be driven by the pressing member to move between a third position and a fourth position. Among them, the third position is the locking position, and the fourth position is the unlocking position. When the pressing member is not pressed, the locking member is in the third position, and the ironing component can be locked on the machine base to prevent users and children from accidentally touching it and picking it up, resulting in accidents such as scalding. When the pressing member is in a pressed state, the pressing member will drive the locking member to move from the third position to the fourth position to unlock the ironing component, facilitating the user to take out the ironing component from the machine base for use. With this setting, if the ironing component needs to be unlocked, the pressing member needs to be continuously pressed. Therefore, when in use, the user needs to hold the pressing member with one hand and then pick up the ironing component with the other hand for the next operation. On the contrary, if the user immediately releases the pressing member after pressing the pressing member, the pressing member and the locking member will rebound, thereby locking the ironing component, which can prevent the pressing member from being accidentally touched and causing the ironing component to be unlocked, making the locking structure of the ironing component more reliable, further ensuring the use safety of the ironing component, and reducing the probability of accidents such as the ironing component scalding the user.

[0035] In some technical solutions, optionally, the garment care machine further includes: an elastic member disposed between the locking member and the machine base and used to push the locking member to move back from the fourth position to the third position when the pressing member is in an unpressed state.

[0036] In this technical solution, the elastic member can push the locking member to move back from the fourth position to the third position after the pressing member is released, ensuring that when the pressing key is not pressed, the locking member can immediately reset to lock the ironing component. This makes the ironing component unlockable only when the pressing member is continuously in a pressed state.

[0037] Among them, other structures can also be used to push the locking member to reset after the pressing member is released, not limited to the elastic member.

[0038] Among them, the elastic member can specifically be a spring.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, the locking member can slide relative to the machine base, the pressing member is arranged at one end of the locking member along the sliding direction; the elastic member is arranged at the other end of the locking member along the sliding direction; after the pressing member is pressed, the pressing member can push the locking member to slide to the fourth position, and the elastic member is in a deformed state, so as to push the locking member to slide to the third position when the pressing member is in the unpressed state.

[0040] In this technical solution, the locking member is slidably mounted on the machine base. Of course, the locking member can also be rotatably mounted on the machine base. Among them, when the locking member is slidably mounted on the machine base, the pressing member and the elastic member are located at both ends of the locking member along the sliding direction. When the user presses the pressing member, the locking member moves to the other side in the sliding direction. Since the elastic member is arranged on the other side, when the locking member moves to the other side in the sliding direction, the elastic member will be compressed, causing the elastic member to undergo elastic deformation. When the user releases the pressing member, under the action of the resilience force, the elastic member gradually elongates from the compressed state, thereby pushing the locking member towards the pressing member until the locking member and the pressing member return to the initial position. With this setting, on the one hand, due to the elastic force of the elastic member, the pressing member can be pressed by the elastic member before being pressed, avoiding the shaking of the pressing member. On the other hand, it can drive the locking member to reset in time after the pressing member is released, thereby ensuring that the ironing machine can only be unlocked when the pressing member is continuously pressed, thus avoiding the situation where the locking component is unlocked due to misoperation.

[0041] In some technical solutions, optionally, the locking component further includes: a bracket, the bracket is arranged on the machine base, the pressing member, the elastic member and the locking member are arranged on the bracket, and the locking member is slidably connected to the bracket; wherein, the bracket and the machine base are of an integral structure, or the bracket and the machine base are of a split structure.

[0042] In this technical solution, the bracket and the machine base can be separate or integral. Preferably, the bracket and the machine base are detachably connected. In this way, the pressing member, the elastic member and the locking member can be assembled into a whole through the bracket, thus forming a locking module. During assembly, the pressing member, the elastic member and the locking member can be first installed on the bracket to form a locking module, and then the entire locking module can be installed on the machine base. This setting facilitates the overall disassembly, repair and replacement of the locking component.

[0043] In some embodiments, optionally, the water tank installation position is a first installation groove formed by the top of the upper cover assembly recessing towards the accommodation cavity along the height direction; the ironing installation position is a second installation groove formed by the top of the upper cover assembly recessing towards the accommodation cavity along the height direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the top of the upper cover assembly is recessed into the accommodation cavity in the height direction to form a first installation groove and a second installation groove. In this way, the gravity of the water tank and the ironing assembly can be supported by the upper cover assembly to ensure the stability of the water tank and the ironing assembly, without the need to set other installation structures, and the process of disassembling the water tank is also very convenient. Herein, the height direction is the height direction of the garment care machine.

[0045] In some embodiments, optionally, the garment care machine further includes an electric control box, which is disposed in the accommodation cavity; the base includes a first installation area and a second installation area distributed along the first direction of the machine base. A baffle is provided in the base to separate the first installation area and the second installation area. The steam generator is disposed in the first installation area, and the electric control box is disposed in the second installation area.

[0046] In this embodiment, the base includes a first installation area and a second installation area distributed along the first direction. The first installation area and the second installation area are separated by a baffle. The steam generator is disposed in the first installation area, and the electric control box is disposed in the second installation area. In this way, it is convenient to position the steam generator and the electric control box during assembly, and when the circuit board or connecting wires inside the electric control box are melted, it can prevent the melted substances from flowing to the steam generator and other components, reducing damage to the steam generator and other components. The first installation area and the second installation area are distributed along the first direction, that is, arranged side by side, which is more conducive to the flat design of the product.

[0047] In some embodiments, optionally, the electric control box is disposed on one side of the steam generator along the first direction. Along the height direction of the garment care machine, the electric control box is disposed opposite to the ironing assembly. Optionally, along the height direction, at least a part of the steam generator coincides with at least a part of the water tank in projection, and along the height direction, a part of the projection of the steam generator coincides with at least a part of the projection of the ironing assembly. Optionally, along the height direction, the end of the electric control box away from the base is higher than the top of the steam generator.

[0048] In this embodiment, along the height direction, the electric control box and the ironing assembly are arranged oppositely, that is, the electric control box is arranged in the lower area of the ironing assembly. In the height direction, the electric control box and the ironing assembly can be offset or overlapped. By arranging the electric control box close to the ironing assembly, the length of the circuit can be reduced, which is convenient for the layout of the circuit. Moreover, the electric control box can be kept away from the water tank and the steam generator, improving the service life of the electric control box and its circuit. Further, the electric control box and the steam generator are arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction, and the electric control box is located below the ironing assembly in the height direction. At least a part of the steam generator is located below the water tank, a part of the steam generator is located below the water tank, and a part of the steam generator is located below the ironing assembly. That is, the steam generator is generally located below the middle position of the connection line between the ironing assembly and the water tank, enabling the components inside the accommodating cavity to be arranged compactly along the first direction, and also avoiding the occupation of the second direction of the clothing care machine by the components in the accommodating cavity. As a result, the overall shape of the clothing care machine is flat and not bulky, making the clothing care machine thinner, with a compact structure and high space utilization rate, which is convenient for the storage of the clothing care machine and improves the convenience of using the clothing care machine.

[0049] In some embodiments, optionally, the clothing care machine further includes a filter. The bottom wall of the second installation groove is recessed towards the accommodating cavity to form a recessed part, and the filter is arranged in the recessed part. The filter is connected between the water tank and the water inlet. Among them, along the first direction, the filter and the electric control box are respectively located on opposite sides of the steam generator; and / or along the height direction of the clothing care machine, the bottom wall of the recessed part is lower than the top wall of the steam generator, the bottom of the filter is lower than the top wall of the steam generator, and / or along the height direction, the bottom of the filter is lower than the top of the electric control box.

[0050] In this embodiment, along the first direction, the filter and the electric control box are respectively located on opposite sides of the steam generator, which can keep the filter and the electric control box as far away as possible, thus preventing the water flowing out of the filter from reaching the electric control box and improving the service life of the electric control box. Optionally, along the height direction, the bottom wall of the recessed part is lower than the top wall of the steam generator, and the bottom of the filter is lower than the top wall of the steam generator. Optionally, the bottom of the filter is lower than the top of the electric control box, which can further improve the service life of the electric control box.

[0051] In addition, the filter and the electric control box are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator along the first direction, enabling the filter, the electric control box, and the steam generator to be arranged along the first direction, reducing the occupation of the second direction of the clothing care machine, and making the overall structure of the clothing care machine compact and flat. Additionally, along the height direction, the bottom wall of the recessed part is lower than the top wall of the steam generator, causing the recessed part to sink into the accommodating cavity, further making the structure of the clothing care machine more compact, improving the space utilization rate inside the accommodating cavity, and reducing the height of the clothing care machine.

[0052] In some embodiments, optionally, the clothing care machine also includes a pump body connected between the filter and the water inlet, the pump body is installed on the base and located on one side of the steam generator along the first direction, and along the height direction, the pump body is located at the bottom of the filter.

[0053] In this technical solution, by arranging a pump body between the water inlet and the filter, it is possible to quickly deliver water to the steam generator, thereby increasing the amount of steam. In addition, the pump body is located at the bottom of the filter and at one side of the steam generator along the first direction, so that the pump body and the steam generator are also arranged along the first direction, which can make the components in the accommodating cavity compact and the clothing care machine as a whole flat, which is more conducive to the storage and use of the clothing care machine.

[0054] It can be understood that the pump body and the filter are located on the same side of the steam generator along the first direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, optionally, the ironing installation position is a second installation groove formed by the top of the upper cover assembly being recessed into the accommodating cavity, and the ironing assembly includes: an ironing body, the ironing body including a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, and an ironing board is arranged on the first side; a handle seat, arranged on the second side of the ironing body, and located at one end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly; an ironing handle, one end of the ironing handle is connected to the second side of the ironing body, and located at the other end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly, and the other end of the ironing handle is connected to the handle seat; the clothing care machine also includes: two protrusions, arranged on the side of the second installation groove away from the back plate portion, and arranged on the side wall of the second installation groove; wherein, when the ironing assembly is installed in the second installation groove, the ironing board faces the back plate portion, and the ironing handle is limited between the two protrusions.

In this solution, by arranging two protrusions on the side of the second mounting groove away from the back plate part, and then limiting the ironing handle by the two protrusions, when the ironing assembly is placed in the second mounting groove, the installation stability of the ironing assembly can be improved. In addition, the ironing board faces the back plate part, which can avoid the problem of burns caused by the user accidentally touching the ironing board when it faces the outside.

[0057] In some embodiments, optionally, a latch engaging portion is provided on the handle base, and an opening is provided on at least one convex portion. When the latch is in the third position, the latch can extend into the opening and engage with the latch engaging portion.

[0058] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on at least one convex portion. When fixing the ironing assembly, the latch can extend into the opening and engage with the latch engaging portion, so that the ironing assembly can be further locked by the convex portion, and the ironing handle can be firmly fixed on the convex portion. In this solution, the latch position is set on the ironing handle, and the ironing handle can be directly locked. This locking method can directly lock the ironing handle and avoid the shaking of the ironing handle. At the same time, in this way, the latch structure does not occupy the space of the ironing main body, making the internal structure of the ironing main body easier to design.

[0059] Optionally, the ironing main body includes a front end and a rear end. The front end is a pointed end portion, and the rear end is a flat end portion. The handle base is installed at the rear end of the ironing main body, that is, the flat end, and the ironing handle extends from the front end to the rear end of the ironing main body. The latch assembly can cooperate with the rear end of the ironing assembly to achieve the locking and unlocking of the iron.

[0060] In some embodiments, optionally, the garment care machine further includes an operation area provided on a side of the upper cover assembly facing away from the back plate portion. The pressing member is provided in the operation area. The operation area is arranged farther away from the back plate portion than the convex portion. The latch is obliquely installed from the operation area towards the convex portion so that the latch is arranged corresponding to the latch engaging portion.

[0061] In this embodiment, the pressing member is provided in the operation area, and the operation area is farther away from the back plate portion, that is, the operation area is closer to the outer edge. Such an arrangement is more convenient for the user to operate and avoids interference between the operation area and the water tank, the ironing assembly, etc. In addition, the latch is obliquely installed from the operation area towards the convex portion, so that the latch can better pass through the convex portion and cooperate with the latch engaging portion.

[0062] In some embodiments, optionally, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base along the first direction to the dimension of the machine base along the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6.

[0063] In this embodiment, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base along the first direction to the dimension of the machine base along the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6. That is, the ratio of the length to the width of the machine base is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6. For example, 1.4 or 1.5, etc., which makes the whole machine relatively flat and convenient for storage.

[0064] In some embodiments, optionally, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base along the first direction to the dimension of the machine base along the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than or equal to 1.6.

[0065] In some embodiments, optionally, the dimension of the machine base along the first direction is greater than or equal to the dimension of the steam generator along the first direction and less than or equal to 120 mm.

[0066] In this embodiment, the maximum length of the machine base can be set to 120 mm, and the minimum can be set to be basically the same as the length of the steam generator. At this time, other components can be stacked along the height direction.

[0067] In some embodiments, optionally, the dimension of the machine base along the first direction is greater than or equal to 100 mm and less than or equal to 120 mm. The existing dimensions are 290 mm in length and 200 mm in width.

[0068] In some embodiments, optionally, the machine base includes a base, the steam generator is disposed on the base, and the steam generator is located in the middle of the base along the first direction and in the middle of the base along the second direction.

[0069] In this embodiment, the steam generator is the main weight source component of the whole machine. If it is arranged to be offset left, right, front, or back, it will cause the machine to deviate during the process of lifting the whole machine, and there is a risk that the ironing head assembly and the water tank will fall out. Or during the process of the user lifting it, the force on the user's hand will deflect, resulting in a poor experience. And arranging the steam generator in the middle can make the structure of the whole machine more stable.

[0070] Wherein, the steam generator is located in the middle of the base along the first direction and in the middle of the base along the second direction, which means that the distances between the two sides of the steam generator along the first direction and the two sides of the base along the first direction are approximately equal, and the distances between the two sides of the steam generator along the second direction and the two sides of the base along the second direction are approximately equal.

Detailed implementation manners

[0102] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above aspects, features and advantages of the embodiments according to the present invention, the embodiments according to the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0103] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the embodiments according to the present invention. However, the embodiments according to the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the embodiments according to the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0104] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 And Figure 6As shown in the figure, the clothes care machine 1 provided by the present utility model includes: a machine base 11, an accommodation cavity 115 is provided inside the machine base 11, and a water tank installation position 116 and an ironing installation position 118 are provided on the same outer side of the machine base 11; a water tank 12, which can be detachably installed at the water tank installation position 116; an ironing assembly 13, which can be detachably installed at the ironing installation position 118; a steam generator 14, which is installed in the accommodation cavity 115, includes a water inlet 142 and a steam outlet 144, the water inlet 142 is connected to the water tank 12, the steam outlet 144 is connected to the ironing assembly 13, and the water inlet 142 and the steam outlet 144 are arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator 14.

[0105] The clothes care machine 1 provided by the present utility model includes a machine base 11, a water tank 12, an ironing assembly 13 and a steam generator 14. An accommodation cavity 115 is provided inside the machine base 11, and a water tank installation position 116 and an ironing installation position 118 are provided on the same outer side of the machine base 11; the water tank 12 can be detachably installed at the water tank installation position 116; the ironing assembly 13 can be detachably installed at the ironing installation position 118; the steam generator 14 is installed in the accommodation cavity 115, includes a water inlet 142 and a steam outlet 144, the water inlet 142 is connected to the water tank 12, the steam outlet 144 is connected to the ironing assembly 13, and the water inlet 142 and the steam outlet 144 are arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator 14. The clothes care machine 1 provided by the present utility model has the characteristics of high pressure and large amount of steam. The water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13 are arranged on the same outer side of the machine base 11. In this way, during the ironing process, the user can observe the water level at any time, thus avoiding the phenomenon of dry burning. In addition, when the water volume is small, it is easier to take out the water tank 12 for operations such as adding water. For related clothes care machines, the water tank and the ironing assembly are usually arranged on both sides of the machine base, which is not conducive to operations such as changing water and observing the water level. In addition, the water inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator, so that the steam generated at the steam outlet will not be affected by the cold water at the water inlet, which is conducive to generating a large amount of high-temperature water vapor.

[0106] In some embodiments, optionally, the accommodation cavity 115 is further provided with an electric control box 191 and a wire winder 192.

[0107] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6 shown, the steam generator 14 further includes a pressure relief valve 146, a water level gauge 147 and a pressure detection solenoid valve 148. The pressure relief valve 146, the water level gauge 147 and the pressure detection solenoid valve 148 are all arranged inside the boiler main body 145, and the steam generator 14 is communicated with the steam outlet 144 through a gas guide pipe 149.

[0108] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 14As shown, the water tank 12 is composed of a tank enclosure panel 126, a tank bottom cover 128, and a tank cover 127. Setting the tank cover 127 can make it more convenient to move the water tank 12.

[0109] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the water tank installation position 116 and the ironing installation position 118 are adjacent to each other along the first direction of the machine base 11, and the water inlet 142 and the steam outlet 144 are arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator 14 along the second direction of the machine base 11.

[0110] In this embodiment, the water tank installation position 116 and the ironing installation position 118 are adjacent to each other along the first direction of the machine base 11, where the first direction is the length direction, that is, the left - right direction when the user normally uses the machine. The water inlet 142 and the steam outlet 144 of the steam generator 14 are arranged along the second direction of the machine base 11, and the second direction is the width direction, where the width direction is the front - back direction when the user normally uses the machine. This kind of setting can make the water inlet 142 and the steam outlet 144 of the steam generator 14 as far apart as possible, so as to avoid the interference between the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline. At the same time, this kind of setting can also make the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline of the steam generator 14 more concise.

[0111] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, along the second direction, the steam outlet 144 is located on the side of the water inlet 142 away from the water tank installation position 116.

[0112] In this embodiment, the steam outlet 144 is located on the side of the water inlet 142 away from the water tank installation position 116. The water tank installation position 116 is generally the front side, so the steam outlet 144 is generally located at the rear side, which is more convenient for the setting of the water inlet pipeline and the steam outlet pipeline.

[0113] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the water tank installation position 116 includes a first installation groove 1162, and the ironing installation position 118 includes a second installation groove 1182. The water tank 12 can be inserted into the first installation groove 1162, and the ironing assembly 13 can be inserted into the second installation groove 1182.

[0114] In this embodiment, the water tank 12 is installed through the first installation groove 1162, and the ironing assembly 13 is installed through the second installation groove 1182. This can ensure the stability of the water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13, without the need to set other installation structures, and the process of disassembling the water tank 12 is also very convenient.

[0115] In some embodiments, optionally, a visualization area is provided on the water tank 12, and the water level in the water tank 12 can be observed through the visualization area.

[0116] In this embodiment, by providing a visualization area on the water tank 12, the user can always observe the water level in the water tank 12, and thus perform a water replenishment operation in a timely manner.

[0117] In some embodiments, optionally, water level graduation lines are provided on the water tank 12.

[0118] In this embodiment, water level graduation lines are provided on the water tank 12, so that the user can more intuitively know the water level situation. For example, the water level graduation lines can include a lowest water level line and a highest water level line. In this way, when the water level is lower than the lowest water level line, the user needs to replenish water in a timely manner and fill the water up to the highest water level line.

[0119] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an avoidance hole 1174 is provided on the water tank installation position 116, a drainage channel 122 is provided on the water tank 12, and the clothing care machine 1 further includes: a drainage valve 152, disposed at a first position of the drainage channel 122 to close the drainage channel 122; a push rod 154, disposed in the machine base 11. When the water tank 12 is installed on the water tank installation position 116, the push rod 154 can pass through the avoidance hole 1174 and insert into the drainage channel 122, and push the drainage valve 152 to move from the first position to the fourth position to open the drainage channel 122.

[0120] In this embodiment, an avoidance hole 1174 is provided on the water tank installation position 116, a drainage channel 122 is provided on the water tank 12, and the clothing care machine 1 further includes a drainage valve 152 and a push rod 154. The drainage valve 152 is disposed at a first position of the drainage channel 122 to close the drainage channel 122; the push rod 154 is disposed in the machine base 11. When the water tank 12 is not installed on the water tank installation position 116, the drainage valve 152 can close the drainage channel 122. When the water tank 12 is installed on the water tank installation position 116, the push rod 154 can pass through the avoidance hole 1174 and insert into the drainage channel 122, and push the drainage valve 152 to move from the first position to the fourth position, thereby opening the drainage channel 122. For the clothing care machine 1 of the present utility model, when the water tank 12 is removed, the drainage channel 122 can be automatically closed, thereby preventing the water in the water tank 12 from flowing out. After the water tank 12 is installed, the drainage channel 122 can be automatically opened, thereby ensuring that the water tank 12 is communicated with the steam generator 14 to generate high-temperature steam. In the whole process, the user does not need to manually adjust the water valve.

[0121] In some embodiments, optionally, the water tank 12 is further provided with a reset member 153, which is connected to the drain valve 152. When the water tank 12 is not installed in the water tank installation position 116, it can drive the drain valve 152 to move to the first position, thereby closing the drain passage 122. Among them, the drain valve 152 and the reset member 153 together constitute the drain valve assembly 129.

[0122] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the clothing care machine 1 further includes a filter 16, which is installed in the machine base 11 and is used to filter the water from the drain passage 122 and then output it.

[0123] In this embodiment, the clothing care machine 1 further includes a filter 16, which is installed in the machine base 11, for example, below the drain passage 122. In this way, the water can be filtered by the filter 16 and then output, so as to prevent impurities in the water from flowing into the steam generator 14 and reducing the service life of the steam generator 14. In the related solutions, the filter 16 is provided in the water tank 12, which results in a relatively large volume of the water tank 12. When the user takes out the water tank 12 and adds water, the filter 16 also needs to be moved, increasing the operation difficulty.

[0124] Optionally, the top surface of the filter 16 is flush with the bottom wall surface of the first installation groove 1162. When the water tank 12 is installed in the first installation groove 1162, the bottom surface of the water tank 12 contacts the top surface of the filter 16 and the bottom wall surface of the first installation groove 1162.

[0125] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the water tank installation position 116 includes a first installation groove 1162 for placing the water tank 12. The bottom of the first installation groove 1162 is recessed into the machine base 11 to form a recess 117. The filter 16 is installed in the recess 117, and the ejector rod 154 is arranged at one end of the filter 16 close to the drain passage 122; a drain joint 1172 is arranged on the bottom wall of the recess 117, and the drain joint 1172 is used to connect with the water tank 12.

[0126] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first installation groove 1162 is recessed towards the machine base 11 to form a recess 117, and the filter 16 is installed in the recess 117. In this way, the filter 16 can be fixed by the recess 117. The ejector rod 154 is arranged at one end of the filter 16 close to the drainage channel 122. In this way, during the installation process of the water tank 12, the ejector rod 154 can pass through the avoidance hole 1174 and insert into the drainage channel 122, thereby opening the drainage channel 122. A drainage joint 1172 is arranged on the bottom wall of the recess 117, and the drainage joint 1172 is used to connect with the steam generator 14. In this way, the water in the water tank 12 can be transported to the steam generator 14 through the drainage joint 1172. Among them, the water in the water tank 12 sequentially passes through the drainage channel 122, the filter 16, and the drainage joint 1172, and finally is transported into the steam generator 14.

[0127] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the water tank 12 includes an air inlet 124. The clothing care machine 1 further includes a pump body 17, including a pump body water inlet joint 174 and a pump body water outlet joint 176, installed in the accommodation cavity 115, used to connect the water inlet 142 and the water tank 12, and used to pump the water in the water tank 12 from the water inlet 142 into the steam generator 14. The pump body 17 further includes an exhaust port 172; a first exhaust channel 125, arranged in the water tank 12, communicating with the air inlet 124, and the end of the first exhaust channel 125 away from the air inlet 124 is higher than the highest designed water level of the water tank 12; a second exhaust channel 173, used to communicate the exhaust port 172 and the air inlet 124.

[0128] In this embodiment, the pump body 17 is used to convey the water in the water tank 12 to the steam generator 14, and the pump body 17 includes an exhaust port 172. An air inlet 124 is provided on the water tank 12, and the air inlet 124 is communicated with the first exhaust passage 125. The air inlet 124 of the water tank 12 is communicated with the exhaust port 172 of the pump body 17. During the operation of the pump body 17, negative pressure will be generated inside it, and the negative pressure will cause gas to be generated inside the pump body 17, affecting the pumping efficiency of the pump body 17. In this application, an exhaust port 172 is provided on the pump body 17. At the same time, the exhaust port 172 is communicated with the air inlet 124 of the water tank 12, and the air inlet 124 of the water tank 12 is also communicated with the first exhaust passage 125. One end of the first exhaust passage 125 away from the air inlet 124 is higher than the highest liquid storage position of the water tank 12. Therefore, the gas generated by the negative pressure in the pump body 17 can be conveyed into the interior of the water tank 12 through the exhaust port 172 of the pump body 17, the air inlet 124 of the water tank 12, and the first exhaust passage 125 in sequence. At the same time, the exhaust port 172 of the pump body 17 is communicated with the water tank 12. On the one hand, it can collect the liquid water carried out when the pump body 17 exhausts, so as to realize the recycling of the liquid water and avoid the waste of water resources. In addition, the first exhaust passage 125 has two ends. One end is the air inlet 124, which is connected to the exhaust port 172 of the pump body 17, and the other end is connected to the internal space of the water tank 12. One end of the first exhaust passage 125 away from the air inlet 124 is higher than the highest liquid storage position of the water tank 12, which can prevent the water in the water tank 12 from entering the pump body 17 through the first exhaust passage 125. That is, the first exhaust passage 125 has an anti-backflow structure, which can ensure the exhaust function of the first exhaust passage 125 and improve the operation reliability of the ironing machine.

[0129] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 5 shown, the pump body 17 further includes a pump water inlet joint and a pump water outlet joint, which are respectively connected to the water tank 12 and the boiler main body 145.

[0130] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 15 shown, the clothing care machine 1 further includes: a first magnetic levitation sensing element 182, which is arranged in the water tank 12; a first magnetic detection element 184, which is installed in the machine base 11 and is used to detect whether there is a first magnetic levitation sensing element 182 within a first target range to determine whether the water tank 12 is correctly installed.

[0131] In this embodiment, by arranging a first magnetic levitation induction element 182 inside the water tank 12 and a first magnetic detection element 184 inside the machine base 11, when the water tank 12 is correctly installed on the machine base 11, the first magnetic levitation induction element 182 can be located within the first target range of the first magnetic detection element 184. For example, the first target range can be 5 cm to 10 cm. The first magnetic detection element 184 can sense the first magnetic levitation induction element 182, thereby determining that the water tank 12 is correctly installed. When the water tank 12 is not installed on the machine base 11 or is installed incorrectly, the first magnetic levitation induction element 182 is outside the target range of the first magnetic detection element 184, and the first magnetic detection element 184 cannot sense the first magnetic levitation induction element 182, thereby determining that the water tank 12 is not installed in place. In this way, the user can be reminded in time to avoid the water tank 12 not being installed in place.

[0132] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 16 shown, the clothing care machine 1 further includes: a second magnetic levitation induction element 186, arranged inside the water tank 12 and capable of floating up and down following the liquid level of the water tank 12; a second magnetic detection element 188, installed on the machine base 11 and used to detect whether there is a second magnetic levitation induction element 186 within a second target range to determine whether the water level in the water tank 12 is lower than a first water level.

[0133] In this embodiment, the principle of detecting the water level is the same as the principle of detecting whether the water tank 12 is correctly installed. During the ironing process, as the liquid level in the water tank 12 gradually decreases, when the second magnetic detection element 188 detects the second magnetic levitation induction element 186, it indicates that the water level in the water tank 12 is too low at this time, and timely water replenishment is required. By arranging the second magnetic levitation induction element 186 and the second magnetic detection element 188 in the present invention, when the water level is too low, the user can know immediately to avoid dry burning. In addition, compared with arranging a liquid level sensor inside the water tank 12, there is no need to arrange a signal transmission line, etc., and it is simpler when disassembling the water tank 12. For example, the second target range can also be 5 cm to 10 cm.

[0134] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown in the figure, the base 11 includes: a base plate 112; an upper cover assembly 114, including an upper cover portion 1142 and a back plate portion 1144. The back plate portion 1144 is disposed on the base plate 112. The upper cover portion 1142 surrounds one side of the back plate portion 1144 and is connected to the base plate 112. The back plate portion 1144 protrudes from the upper cover portion 1142 in a direction away from the base plate 112. The upper cover portion 1142, the back plate portion 1144, and the base plate 112 enclose a receiving cavity 115. Among them, a water tank mounting position 116 and an ironing mounting position 118 are disposed on the side of the upper cover portion 1142 away from the base plate 112. When the water tank 12 is mounted on the water tank mounting position 116, the water tank 12 is in contact with the back plate portion 1144. When the ironing assembly 13 is mounted on the ironing mounting position 118, the ironing plate 133 of the ironing assembly 13 faces the back plate portion 1144.

[0135] In this embodiment, the base 11 includes a base plate 112 and an upper cover assembly 114. The upper cover assembly 114 is mounted on the base plate 112 and encloses a receiving cavity 115 with the base plate 112. The upper cover assembly 114 includes an upper cover portion 1142 and a back plate portion 1144. The back plate portion 1144 is disposed on one side of the upper cover portion 1142 and extends in a direction away from the base plate 112. The back plate portion 1144 protrudes upward relative to the upper cover portion 1142. When the water tank 12 is mounted on the water tank mounting position 116, the water tank 12 is in contact with the back plate portion 1144. When the ironing assembly 13 is mounted on the ironing mounting position 118, the ironing plate 133 of the ironing assembly 13 faces the back plate portion 1144. In this way, the water tank 12 can be supported by the back plate portion 1144 to prevent the water tank 12 from falling off the mounting position during movement. At the same time, the ironing assembly 13 is protected by the back plate portion 1144. On the one hand, it prevents the ironing plate 133 from being soiled. On the other hand, it prevents the ironing plate 133 from scalding the user when the ironing machine has just been used. In addition, the water tank mounting position 116 and the ironing mounting position 118 are disposed on the same side of the upper cover assembly 114, which is convenient for the user to operate the water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13 on the same side of the garment care machine 1. In addition, this setting can also reduce the thickness of the base plate 112, making the overall shape of the garment care machine 1 flat and not bulky, making the garment care machine 1 thinner, structurally compact, with high space utilization rate, and thus facilitating the storage of the garment care machine 1 and improving the convenience of use of the garment care machine 1.

[0136] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 17As shown, the clothing care machine 1 further includes a locking component 189 disposed on the machine base 11. The locking component 189 includes a pressing member 1892 and a locking member 1894. The locking member 1894 is movably connected to the machine base 11, and the pressing member 1892 is connected to the locking member 1894 for driving the locking member 1894 to move between a third position and a fourth position. Wherein, when the pressing member 1892 is in an unpressed state, the locking member 1894 is located at the third position, and the locking member 1894 can be tightly engaged with the ironing component 13 installed on the ironing installation position 118. When the pressing member 1892 is in a pressed state, the locking member 1894 is located at the fourth position, and the locking member 1894 is disengaged from the tight engagement with the ironing component 13.

[0137] In this embodiment, the ironing component 13 is locked by arranging the locking component 189 on the machine base 11 to prevent users and children from being scalded due to accidental operation. Specifically, the ironing component 13 can be installed on the machine base 11. The locking component 189 is arranged on the machine base 11. The locking component 189 includes a pressing member 1892 and a locking member 1894. The locking member 1894 is movably connected to the machine base 11. The locking member 1894 can move back and forth along the machine base 11. The pressing member 1892 is connected to the locking member 1894. The locking member 1894 can be driven by the pressing member 1892 to move between a third position and a fourth position. Among them, the third position is the locking position, and the fourth position is the unlocking position. When the pressing member 1892 is not pressed, the locking member 1894 is in the third position, and the ironing component 13 can be locked on the machine base 11 to prevent users and children from accidentally touching and picking it up, resulting in accidents such as scalding. When the pressing member 1892 is in a pressed state, the pressing member 1892 will drive the locking member 1894 to move from the third position to the fourth position to unlock the ironing component 13, facilitating the user to take out the ironing component 13 from the machine base 11 for use. For this kind of setting, if the ironing component 13 needs to be unlocked, the pressing member 1892 needs to be continuously pressed. Therefore, during use, the user needs to hold the pressing member 1892 with one hand and then pick up the ironing component 13 with the other hand for the next operation. On the contrary, if the user immediately releases the pressing member 1892 after pressing the pressing member 1892, the pressing member 1892 and the locking member 1894 will rebound, thereby locking the ironing component 13. In this way, it can prevent the pressing member 1892 from being accidentally touched and causing the ironing component 13 to be unlocked, making the locking structure of the ironing component 13 more reliable, further ensuring the use safety of the ironing component 13, and reducing the probability of accidents such as the ironing component 13 scalding users.

[0138] In addition, a head limiting member is arranged in the ironing installation position 118 for initially limiting the head limiting member, so as to be better locked by the locking component 189.

[0139] Among them, when the steam generator 14 is installed, it can be installed at different placement angles. Among them, different placement angles have a certain impact on the pipeline connection between the water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13. In the actual process, such as Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 are the optimal placement angles. Of course, it is also possible to rotate the steam generator 14 by a certain angle on the basis of the placement angle of Figure 18 . For example, 90 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees clockwise, etc.

[0140] In some embodiments, optionally, the clothing care machine 1 further includes: an elastic member 1896, disposed between the locking member 1894 and the machine base 11, and configured to push the locking member 1894 to move back from the fourth position to the third position when the pressing member 1892 is in an unpressed state.

[0141] In this embodiment, the elastic member 1896 can push the locking member 1894 to move back from the fourth position to the third position after the pressing member 1892 is released, so as to ensure that when the pressing member 1892 is not pressed, the locking member 1894 can be immediately reset to lock the ironing assembly 13. In this way, the ironing assembly 13 can be unlocked only when the pressing member 1892 is in a pressed state all the time.

[0142] Among them, other structures can also be used to push the locking member 1894 to reset after the pressing member 1892 is released, not limited to the elastic member 1896.

[0143] Among them, the elastic member 1896 can be specifically a spring.

[0144] In some embodiments, optionally, the locking member 1894 can slide relative to the machine base 11, the pressing member 1892 is disposed at one end of the locking member 1894 along the sliding direction; the elastic member 1896 is disposed at the other end of the locking member 1894 along the sliding direction; after the pressing member 1892 is pressed, the pressing member 1892 can push the locking member 1894 to slide to the fourth position, and the elastic member 1896 is in a deformed state, so as to push the locking member 1894 to slide to the third position when the pressing member 1892 is in an unpressed state.

[0145] In this embodiment, the locking fastener 1894 is slidably mounted on the base 11. Of course, the locking fastener 1894 can also be rotatably mounted on the base 11. Among them, when the locking fastener 1894 is slidably mounted on the base 11, the pressing member 1892 and the elastic member 1896 are located at both ends of the locking fastener 1894 along the sliding direction. When the user presses the pressing member 1892, the locking fastener 1894 moves to the other side along the sliding direction. Since the elastic member 1896 is provided on the other side, when the locking fastener 1894 moves to the other side along the sliding direction, the elastic member 1896 will be compressed, causing the elastic member 1896 to undergo elastic deformation. When the user releases the pressing member 1892, under the action of the resilience force, the elastic member 1896 gradually elongates from the compressed state, thereby pushing the locking fastener 1894 towards the pressing member 1892 until the locking fastener 1894 and the pressing member 1892 return to their initial positions. With this arrangement, on the one hand, due to the elastic force of the elastic member 1896, the pressing member 1892 can be pressed tightly by the elastic member 1896 before being pressed, avoiding the shaking of the pressing member 1892. On the other hand, it can drive the locking fastener 1894 to reset in time after the pressing member 1892 is released, thereby ensuring that the ironing machine can only be unlocked when the pressing member 1892 is continuously pressed, thus avoiding the situation where the locking component 189 is unlocked due to misoperation, resulting in the unlocking of the ironing component 13.

[0146] In some embodiments, optionally, the locking component 189 further includes: a bracket provided on the base 11, the pressing member 1892, the elastic member 1896, and the locking fastener 1894 are provided on the bracket, and the locking fastener 1894 is slidably connected to the bracket; wherein, the bracket and the base 11 are of an integral structure, or the bracket and the base 11 are of a split structure.

[0147] In this embodiment, the bracket and the base 11 can be separate or integral. Preferably, the bracket and the base 11 are detachably connected. In this way, the pressing member 1892, the elastic member 1896, and the locking fastener 1894 can be assembled into a whole through the bracket, thereby forming a locking module. During assembly, the pressing member 1892, the elastic member 1896, and the locking fastener 1894 can be first installed on the bracket to form a locking module, and then the entire locking module can be installed on the base 11. This arrangement facilitates the overall disassembly, repair, and replacement of the locking component 189.

[0148] In some embodiments, optionally, the water tank mounting position 116 is a first mounting groove 1162 formed by the top of the upper cover assembly 114 recessing into the accommodation cavity 115 along the height direction; the ironing mounting position 118 is a second mounting groove 1182 formed by the top of the upper cover assembly 114 recessing into the accommodation cavity 115 along the height direction.

[0149] In this embodiment, the top of the upper cover assembly 114 in the height direction is recessed into the accommodating cavity 115 to form a first mounting groove 1162 and a second mounting groove 1182. In this way, the gravity of the water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13 can be supported by the upper cover assembly 114, ensuring the stability of the water tank 12 and the ironing assembly 13. There is no need to set other mounting structures, and the process of disassembling the water tank 12 is very convenient.

[0150] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 26 shown, the garment care machine 1 further includes an electric control box 191, and the electric control box 191 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 115; the base 112 includes a first mounting area 1125 and a second mounting area 1126 distributed along a first direction. A rib 1127 is provided in the base 112, and the rib 1127 separates the first mounting area 1125 and the second mounting area 1126. The steam generator 14 is disposed in the first mounting area 1125, and the electric control box 191 is disposed in the second mounting area 1126.

[0151] In this embodiment, the base 112 includes a first mounting area 1125 and a second mounting area 1126 distributed along a first direction. The first mounting area 1125 and the second mounting area 1126 are separated by the rib 1127. The steam generator 14 is disposed in the first mounting area 1125, and the electric control box 191 is disposed in the second mounting area 1126. In this way, it is convenient to position the steam generator 14 and the electric control box 191 during assembly, and when the circuit board or connecting wires inside the electric control box 191 melt, it can also prevent the molten material from flowing towards the steam generator 14 and other components, reducing damage to the steam generator 14 and other components. And the first mounting area 1125 and the second mounting area 1126 are distributed along the first direction, that is, arranged side by side, which is more conducive to the flat design of the product.

[0152] Exemplarily, the electric control box 191 includes a fireproof box and an electric control board located inside the fireproof box. The fireproof box has the effect of heat insulation and fire prevention. In this way, the electric control board can be protected from fire and heat insulation through the fireproof box, preventing the high-temperature heat on the outer wall of the steam generator 14 from damaging the electrical components such as the electric control board inside the electric control box 191.

[0153] In some embodiments, optionally, the electric control box 191 is disposed on one side of the steam generator 14 along the first direction. In the height direction, the electric control box 191 is disposed opposite to the ironing assembly 13; and / or in the height direction, at least a part of the projection of the steam generator 14 coincides with at least a part of the projection of the water tank 12, and in the height direction, a part of the projection of the steam generator 14 coincides with at least a part of the projection of the ironing assembly 13; and / or in the height direction, the end of the electric control box 191 away from the base 112 is higher than the top of the steam generator 14.

[0154] In this embodiment, the electric control box 191 is arranged on one side of the steam generator 14 along the first direction. Along the height direction, the electric control box 191 is arranged opposite to the ironing assembly 13. By placing the electric control box 191 close to the ironing assembly 13, the length of the circuit can be reduced, facilitating the circuit layout. Also, the electric control box 191 can be kept away from the water tank 12 and the steam generator 14, improving the service life of the electric control box 191 and its circuits.

[0155] Further, the electric control box 191 and the steam generator 14 are arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction, and along the height direction, the electric control box 191 is located in the lower area of the ironing assembly 13. Among them, along the height direction, the electric control box 191 and the ironing assembly 13 can be offset or overlapped. At least a part of the steam generator 14 is located below the water tank 12, a part of the steam generator 14 is located below the water tank 12, and a part of the steam generator 14 is located below the ironing assembly 13. That is, the steam generator 14 is generally located below the middle position of the line connecting the ironing assembly 13 and the water tank 12, enabling the components inside the accommodation cavity to be arranged compactly along the first direction, and also avoiding the components in the accommodation cavity from occupying the second direction of the clothes care machine. As a result, the overall shape of the clothes care machine is flat and not bulky, making the clothes care machine thinner, with a compact structure and high space utilization, thus facilitating the storage of the clothes care machine and enhancing the convenience of using the clothes care machine.

[0156] Herein, the projection of the steam generator 14, the water tank 12, and the ironing assembly 13 along the height direction refers to the orthographic projection of the steam generator 14, the water tank 12, and the ironing assembly 13 on a plane perpendicular to the height direction.

[0157] In some embodiments, optionally, the clothes care machine 1 further includes a filter 16. The bottom wall of the second installation groove 1182 is recessed towards the accommodation cavity 115 to form a recess 117, and the filter 16 is arranged in the recess 117. The filter 16 is connected between the water tank 12 and the water inlet 142. Among them, along the first direction, the filter 16 and the electric control box 191 are respectively located on opposite sides of the steam generator 14; and / or along the height direction, the bottom wall of the recess 117 is lower than the top wall of the steam generator 14, the bottom of the filter 16 is lower than the top wall of the steam generator 14, and / or along the height direction, the bottom of the filter 16 is lower than the top of the electric control box 191.

[0158] In this embodiment, along the first direction, the filter 16 and the electric control box 191 are respectively located on opposite sides of the steam generator 14, so that the filter 16 and the electric control box 191 can be kept as far away as possible, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the filter 16 from reaching the electric control box 191 and increasing the service life of the electric control box 191. Optionally, along the height direction, the bottom wall of the recess 117 is lower than the top wall of the steam generator 14, and the bottom of the filter 16 is lower than the top wall of the steam generator 14. Optionally, the bottom of the filter 16 is lower than the top of the electric control box 191, which can further increase the service life of the electric control box 191.

[0159] In addition, the filter 16 and the electric control box 191 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the steam generator 14 along the first direction, such that the filter 16, the electric control box 191 and the steam generator 14 are arranged along the first direction, reducing the occupation of the second direction of the clothing care machine 1, making the overall structure of the clothing care machine 1 compact and flat. Additionally, along the height direction, the bottom wall of the recess 117 is lower than the top wall of the steam generator 14, causing the recess 117 to sink into the accommodation cavity 115, thereby making the structure of the clothing care machine 1 more compact, improving the space utilization rate within the accommodation cavity 115, and reducing the height of the clothing care machine 1.

[0160] In some embodiments, optionally, the clothing care machine 1 further includes a pump body 17 connected between the filter 16 and the water inlet 142. The pump body 17 is installed on the base 112 and is located on one side of the steam generator 14 along the first direction. Along the height direction, the pump body 17 is located at the bottom of the filter 16.

[0161] In this embodiment, by providing the pump body 17 between the water inlet 142 and the filter 16, rapid water supply to the steam generator 14 can be achieved, thereby increasing the steam volume. Moreover, the pump body 17 is located at the bottom of the filter 16 and on one side of the steam generator 14 along the first direction, such that the pump body 17 and the steam generator 14 are also arranged along the first direction, which can not only make the component structure within the accommodation cavity 115 compact but also make the overall clothing care machine 1 flat, being more conducive to the storage and use of the clothing care machine 1.

[0162] It can be understood that the pump body 17 and the filter 16 are located on the same side of the steam generator 14 along the first direction.

[0163] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 25As shown, the ironing installation position 118 is a second installation groove 1182 formed by the top of the upper cover assembly 114 recessing into the accommodation cavity 115 in the height direction. The ironing assembly 13 includes: an ironing main body 132, the ironing main body 132 includes a first side and a second side arranged oppositely, and an ironing board 133 is arranged on the first side; a handle seat 134, arranged on the second side of the ironing main body 132 and located at one end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly 13; an ironing handle 136, one end of the ironing handle 136 is connected to the second side of the ironing main body 132 and located at the other end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly 13, and the other end of the ironing handle 136 is connected to the handle seat 134; the garment care machine 1 further includes: two convex portions 119, arranged on the side of the second installation groove 1182 away from the back plate portion 1144, and the two convex portions 119 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the second installation groove 1182 on the side wall of the second installation groove 1182; wherein, when the ironing assembly 13 is installed in the second installation groove 1182, the ironing board 133 faces the back plate portion 1144, and the ironing handle 136 is limited between the two convex portions 119.

[0164] In this embodiment, the ironing assembly 13 includes an ironing main body 132, a handle seat 134 and an ironing handle 136. The ironing main body 132 includes a first side and a second side arranged oppositely, and an ironing board 133 is arranged on the first side; the handle seat 134 is arranged on the second side of the ironing main body 132 and located at one end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly 13; one end of the ironing handle 136 is connected to the second side of the ironing main body 132 and located at the other end of the second side along the length direction of the ironing assembly 13, and the other end of the ironing handle 136 is connected to the handle seat 134; the garment care machine 1 further includes two convex portions 119, arranged on the side of the second installation groove 1182 away from the back plate portion 1144, and the two convex portions 119 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the second installation groove 1182 on the side wall of the second installation groove 1182. In this solution, by arranging two convex portions 119 on the side of the second installation groove 1182 away from the back plate portion 1144, and then limiting the ironing handle 136 by the two convex portions 119, when the ironing assembly 13 is placed in the second installation groove 1182, the installation stability of the ironing assembly 13 can be improved. In addition, the ironing board 133 faces the back plate portion 1144, so as to avoid the problem that the ironing board 133 faces outward and causes scalding due to accidental touch by the user.

[0165] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 25 and Figure 27 shown, a lock catch mating portion 1342 is arranged on the handle seat 134, and an opening 1192 is arranged on at least one convex portion 119. When the lock catch 1894 is in the third position, the lock catch 1894 can extend into the opening 1192 and lock with the lock catch mating portion 1342.

[0166] In this embodiment, an opening 1192 is provided on at least one convex portion 119. When fixing the ironing assembly 13, the locking member 1894 can extend into the opening 1192 and lock with the locking cooperation portion 1342, so that the ironing assembly 13 can be further locked by the convex portion 119, and the ironing handle 136 is firmly fixed on the convex portion 119. In this solution, the locking position is set on the ironing handle 136, which can directly lock the ironing handle 136. This locking method directly locks the ironing handle 136, which can avoid the shaking of the ironing handle 136. At the same time, in this way, the locking structure does not occupy the space of the ironing main body 132, making the internal structure of the ironing main body 132 easier to design.

[0167] Optionally, the ironing main body 132 includes a front end and a rear end. The front end is a pointed end portion, and the rear end is a flat end portion. The handle seat 134 is installed at the rear end of the ironing main body 132, that is, the flat end, and the ironing handle 136 extends from the front end to the rear end of the ironing main body 132. The locking assembly 189 can cooperate with the rear end of the ironing assembly 13 to achieve the locking and unlocking of the iron.

[0168] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 12 and Figure 17 shown, the garment care machine 1 further includes an operation area 193, which is arranged on the side of the upper cover assembly 114 away from the back plate portion 1144. The pressing member 1892 is arranged in the operation area 193. The operation area 193 is arranged farther away from the back plate portion 1144 than the convex portion 119. The locking member 1894 is inclinedly installed from the operation area 193 towards the convex portion 119 so that the locking member 1894 is arranged corresponding to the locking cooperation portion 1342.

[0169] In this embodiment, the pressing member 1892 is arranged in the operation area 193, and the operation area 193 is farther away from the back plate portion 1144, that is, the operation area 193 is closer to the outer edge. This kind of arrangement is more convenient for the user to operate and avoids interference between the operation area 193 and the water tank 12, the ironing assembly 13, etc. In addition, the locking member 1894 is inclinedly installed from the operation area 193 towards the convex portion 119, so that the locking member 1894 can better pass through the protrusion and cooperate with the locking cooperation portion 1342.

[0170] In some embodiments, optionally, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base 11 in the first direction to the dimension of the machine base 11 in the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6.

[0171] In this embodiment, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base 11 in the first direction to the dimension of the machine base 11 in the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6. That is, the ratio of the length to the width of the machine base 11 is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.6. For example, 1.4 or 1.5, etc., which makes the whole machine relatively flat and thus convenient for storage.

[0172] In some embodiments, optionally, the ratio of the dimension of the machine base 11 in the first direction to the dimension of the machine base 11 in the second direction is greater than or equal to 1.4 and less than or equal to 1.6.

[0173] In some embodiments, optionally, the dimension of the machine base 11 in the first direction is greater than or equal to the dimension of the steam generator 14 in the first direction and less than or equal to 120 mm.

[0174] In this embodiment, the maximum length of the machine base 11 can be set to 120 mm, and the minimum can be set to be basically the same as the length of the steam generator 14. At this time, other parts can be stacked in the height direction.

[0175] In some embodiments, optionally, the dimension of the machine base 11 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 100 mm and less than or equal to 120 mm. The existing dimensions are 290 mm in length and 200 mm in width.

[0176] In some embodiments, optionally, the machine base 11 includes a base 112, the steam generator 14 is disposed on the base 112, and the steam generator 14 is located in the middle of the base 112 in the first direction and in the middle of the base 112 in the second direction.

[0177] In this embodiment, the steam generator 14 is the main weight source component of the whole machine. If it is arranged to be offset left and right, front and back, it will cause the machine to deviate during the process of lifting the whole machine, and there is a risk that the ironing head assembly and the water tank 12 will fall out. Or during the process of the user lifting, the force on the user's hand deflects, resulting in a poor experience. And arranging the steam generator 14 in the middle can make the structure of the whole machine more stable.

[0178] Among them, the steam generator 14 is located in the middle of the base 112 in the first direction and in the middle of the base 112 in the second direction, which means that the distances between the two sides of the steam generator 14 in the first direction and the two sides of the base 112 in the first direction are approximately equal, and the distances between the two sides of the steam generator 14 in the second direction and the two sides of the base 112 in the second direction are approximately equal.
