[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of irons, in particular to a steam iron with a rotatable handle. Background Art

[0002] A steam iron is a household appliance, and its main function is to remove wrinkles on clothes and fabrics. Using an iron can make clothes look smoother and neater. In addition, the steam of the steam iron can sterilize and disinfect, which helps to keep the hygiene of clothes.

[0003] The existing steam irons generally drive the steam iron to move through the handle, so as to iron clothes. However, the existing handle can generally only rotate horizontally, resulting in inconvenient holding of the handle when the steam iron is vertically ironing, reducing the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems in the background art, the utility model provides a steam iron with a rotatable handle.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A steam iron with a rotatable handle includes an ironing main body and a holding handle rotatably arranged on the ironing main body.

[0007] A rotating inclined surface is formed on the ironing main body, and the holding handle rotates along the rotating inclined surface, so that the holding handle has at least a first position and a second position. When the holding handle is in the first position, the holding handle is retracted above the ironing main body and is horizontally arranged relative to the ironing main body. When the holding handle is in the second position, the holding handle extends out of the ironing main body and forms a certain inclination angle with the ironing main body.

[0008] Preferably, when the holding handle is in the first position, the holding handle is retracted above the ironing main body along the projection direction. When the holding handle is in the second position, the holding handle is inclined relative to the upper end surface of the ironing main body along the projection direction. Through the above improvement, when projected along the width direction of the ironing main body, when the holding handle is in the first position, the holding handle is retracted above the ironing main body along the projection direction, thus better matching the working condition of horizontal ironing. When the holding handle is in the second position, the holding handle is inclined relative to the upper end surface of the ironing main body along the projection direction, increasing the holding space between the holding hand and the upper end surface of the ironing main body, thus better conforming to the working condition of vertical ironing.

[0009] Preferably, the ironing body is provided with an inclined guide ring, and the gripping handle rotates along the upper end surface of the guide ring, so that the gripping handle is tilted during the rotation process and forms a certain tilt angle with the ironing body. Through the above improvement, since the guide ring is inclined, the top of the guide ring forms a rotating inclined surface, and the gripping handle rotates in contact with the guide ring, so that the gripping handle is tilted during the rotation process, which improves the user's comfort during the vertical ironing process, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0010] Preferably, the gripping handle is connected with a rotating ring, the rotating ring is rotatably arranged in the guide ring, a limiting convex portion is formed on the circumferential side of the rotating ring, and a blocking boss is formed on the guide ring, the blocking boss abuts against the limiting convex portion to limit the rotating ring from separating from the guide ring. Through the above improvement, the limiting convex portion cooperates with the blocking boss, so that the rotating ring can rotate in the guide ring, and the rotating ring is prevented from separating from the guide ring, so that the gripping handle can rotate on the ironing body.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating convex portion is formed at the bottom of the rotating ring, and a rotating groove for the rotating convex portion to be placed in is formed on the ironing body. Through the above improvements, during the rotation of the rotating ring, the rotating convex portion will rotate along the rotating groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating ring during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability of the grip handle during the rotation process.

[0012] Preferably, a travel limit block is formed on the rotating ring, and an abutting convex portion is formed on the guide ring, and the travel limit block abuts against the abutting convex portion to limit the rotation of the rotating ring. Through the above improvement, when the rotating ring rotates to the first position or the second position, the travel limit block abuts against the abutting convex portion, so that it rotates within a limited stroke, thereby preventing the rotating ring from rotating too far.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing convex portion is formed on the outer circumference of the rotating ring, and a fixing groove for the fixing convex portion to be placed is formed on the guide ring, and the fixing convex portion is placed in the fixing groove to keep the gripping handle in the first position or the second position. Through the above improvement, when the gripping handle is rotated to the first position or the second position, the fixing convex portion on the rotating ring will rotate into the fixing groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the gripping handle when it is in the first position or the second position, and avoiding rotation during the ironing process.

[0014] Preferably, the gripping handle is provided with a control switch and a fixed bracket for mounting the control switch, and the gripping handle is slidably provided with a driving slider for driving the control switch, and a sliding groove is formed on the gripping handle, and the driving slider is slidably provided in the sliding groove.

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc. appear in this text to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for easy understanding, rather than to define any directional or sequential limitations.

[0030] As Figures 1-8 shown, a steam iron with a rotatable handle includes an ironing main body 1 and a holding handle 2 rotatably provided on the ironing main body 1.

[0031] Specifically, a rotating inclined surface is formed on the ironing main body 1, and the holding handle 2 rotates along the rotating inclined surface so that the holding handle 2 has at least a first position and a second position. When the holding handle 2 is in the first position, the holding handle 2 is retracted above the ironing main body 1 and is horizontally arranged relative to the ironing main body 1. When the holding handle 2 is in the second position, the holding handle 2 extends out of the ironing main body 1 and forms a certain inclination angle with the ironing main body 1.

[0032] By providing a rotating inclined plane 101 on the ironing body 1, as the grip handle 2 rotates along the rotating inclined plane 101, the grip handle 2 will be tilted during the rotation process, so that it is horizontally arranged relative to the ironing body 1 in the first position, and forms a certain inclination angle with the ironing body 1 in the second position. The user can perform horizontal ironing in the first position and vertical ironing in the second position, so that the user has a good grip angle when performing horizontal ironing and vertical ironing, thereby improving the user's comfort during use and enhancing the user's experience.

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a further explanation of the implementation method of the rotating inclined surface in this embodiment is provided, wherein an inclined guide ring 3 is provided on the ironing body 1, the rotating inclined surface is formed on the guide ring 3, and the gripping handle 2 is rotated along the upper end surface of the guide ring 3, so that the gripping handle 2 is lifted up during the rotation process and forms a certain inclination angle with the ironing body 1.

[0034] Since the guide ring 3 is tilted, the grip handle 2 rotates in contact with the guide ring 3, causing the grip handle 2 to curl up during the rotation process, thereby improving the user's comfort during vertical ironing and enhancing the user's experience.

[0035] like Figures 1-8 As shown, as a further explanation of the cooperation between the gripping handle 2 and the ironing body 1 in this embodiment, a rotating ring 4 is connected to the gripping handle 2, and the rotating ring 4 is rotatably arranged in the guide ring 3. A limiting convex portion 102 is formed on the circumference of the rotating ring 4, and a blocking boss 103 is formed on the guide ring 3. The limiting convex portion 102 cooperates with the blocking boss 103 to allow the rotating ring 4 to rotate in the guide ring 3 and prevent the rotating ring 4 from detaching from the guide ring 3, so that the gripping handle 2 can rotate on the ironing body 1.

[0036] Furthermore, a rotating protrusion 104 is formed at the bottom of the rotating ring 4, and a rotating groove 105 for the rotating protrusion 104 to be placed is formed on the ironing body 1. During the rotation of the rotating ring 4, the rotating protrusion 104 will rotate along the rotating groove 105, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating ring 4 during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability of the holding handle 2 during the rotation process.

[0037] In addition, a travel limit block 106 is formed on the rotating ring 4, and an abutment protrusion 107 is formed on the guide ring 3. When the rotating ring 4 rotates to the first position or the second position, the travel limit block 106 will abut against the abutment protrusion 107, causing it to rotate within a limited travel, thereby preventing the rotating ring 4 from rotating too much.

[0038] A fixing convex portion 108 is formed on the outer periphery of the rotating ring 4, and a fixing groove 109 for inserting the fixing convex portion 108 is formed on the guiding ring 3. When the holding handle 2 is rotated to the first position or the second position, the fixing convex portion 108 on the rotating ring 4 will rotate into the fixing groove 109, ensuring the stability of the holding handle 2 when it is in the first position or the second position and preventing rotation during the ironing process.

[0039] Preferably, a positioning post 117 is formed on the top of the rotating ring 4, and a positioning hole 118 for inserting the positioning post 117 is formed on the holding handle 2. The cooperation of the positioning post 117 and the positioning hole 118 makes it more convenient to install the rotating ring 4 and prevents misalignment of the rotating ring 4 during installation.

[0040] As Figures 1-3 shown, for further explanation of the internal structure of the holding handle 2 in this embodiment, a control switch 110 and a fixing bracket 111 for installing the control switch 110 are provided inside the holding handle 2. A driving slider 112 for driving the control switch 110 is slidably arranged on the holding handle 2. A sliding groove 113 is formed on the holding handle 2, and the driving slider 112 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 113. During daily use, the driving slider 112 can be toggled to switch the control switch 110, and the sliding groove 113 can limit the driving slider 112, ensuring the stability of the driving slider 112 during sliding.

[0041] Specifically, the driving slider includes a driving portion 114 extending out of the sliding groove 113 and a sliding portion 115 slidably arranged inside the holding handle 2. An elastic sealing ring 116 is arranged on the sliding portion 115, and the elastic sealing ring 116 abuts against the holding handle 2. The elastic sealing ring 116 improves the sealing performance, preventing external water from entering the inner wall of the holding handle 2 through the sliding groove 113, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the holding handle 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the holding handle 2 includes a rotating main body 201 and a cover plate 202 clamped on the rotating main body 201. An installation cavity 203 for installing the control switch 110 is formed on the rotating main body 201, and an indicator light 204 is arranged on the fixing bracket 111. An indicating hole 205 for the indicator light 204 to be exposed is formed on the cover plate 202. The indicator light 204 can perform an indicating function through the indicating hole 205, and the cover plate 202 can be disassembled to repair and replace the internal structure of the installation cavity 203, improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance and repair.

[0043] This specific embodiment is only an interpretation of the present utility model, and it is not a limitation to the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment that do not contribute creatively as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, it is protected by the patent law.
