Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam irons, in particular to a lock structure for a steam station iron. Background Art

[0002] At present, compared with traditional electric irons, the steam station electric iron products on the market are relatively large in size. In order to facilitate the integrated handling of the electric iron and the steam station, a lock structure for locking the electric iron is usually provided on the steam station. The existing lock structure is designed relatively complex, which increases the difficulty in assembly and is also cumbersome for users to operate during use, resulting in poor user experience.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent CN211772274U discloses a lock structure for a steam station electric iron, which includes a machine base and an iron. A lock knob is provided on the iron, and a groove matching the lock knob is provided on the machine base. The lock knob extends into the groove and rotates to achieve the dislocation of the lock knob and the groove, thereby locking the iron on the machine base. When the iron is not in use or being moved, the iron is placed on the machine base, and the lock knob is rotated clockwise by extending it into the groove to achieve the dislocation of the lock knob and the groove, thereby locking the iron on the machine base.

[0004] In the known prior art, the placement plane of the steam station is usually inclined. When placing the iron, a forward insertion action is required, which requires wrist strength from the user. The user needs to control the front tip of the iron to cooperate with positioning in the lock fixing block for clamping. Then, the whole iron is placed on the steam station, so that the lock knob at the rear end of the iron matches the groove, and the electric iron can be locked on the machine base only by rotating the lock knob. The whole operation process is too cumbersome, and the user experience is very poor. Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lock structure for a steam station iron with reasonable structure, convenient operation and effectively improving the user experience in view of the defects and deficiencies of the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A steam station iron locking structure according to the present utility model includes a steam station and an iron body. A heat insulation seat is provided on the steam station, and a heat conduction bottom plate is provided on the bottom surface of the iron body. A locking pin member is provided on the heat insulation seat, and a collarbone piece is provided on the locking pin member. The locking pin member is rotatably arranged on the heat insulation seat and can drive the collarbone piece to insert between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate to lock the iron body on the steam station. It can also drive the collarbone piece to slide out between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate to unlock the iron body from the steam station. By rotating the locking pin member, the collarbone piece can be driven to insert into the gap between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate, so as to quickly lock the iron body on the steam station, enabling the iron body and the steam station to be transported integrally, with convenient and fast operation, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0008] According to the above solution, a limit shaft seat is provided on the heat insulation seat. The locking pin member is rotatably inserted into the inner hole of the limit shaft seat, and the upper end of the locking pin member extends out of the limit shaft seat. An expansion port is provided on the limit shaft seat. The collarbone piece can pass through the expansion port and insert between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate, or the collarbone piece can pass through the expansion port and be arranged inside the heat insulation seat. The limit shaft seat is of a hollow structure. The limit shaft seat is usually integrally formed on the heat insulation seat as the installation structure of the locking pin member. The upper end of the locking pin member extends out of the limit shaft seat, and a flat structure or a rolling column can be provided at the upper end of the locking pin member to facilitate user rotation. The collarbone piece is arranged on the outer wall of the locking pin member. When the locking pin member rotates, the collarbone piece rotates around it and passes through the expansion port to insert into or slide out of the gap between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate.

[0009] According to the above solution, a positioning groove is provided on the limit shaft seat, and a rib is provided on the collarbone piece. When the collarbone piece passes through the expansion port and inserts between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate, the rib is snap-connected to the positioning groove to make the locking pin member and the limit shaft seat cooperate and connect. It can be understood that an installation space is provided between the heat insulation seat and the steam station. The limit shaft seat is arranged on the heat insulation seat so that its inner hole communicates with the installation space. The collarbone piece is arranged below the limit shaft seat, and the collarbone piece can pass through the expansion port and be stored in the installation space. Further, the positioning groove is arranged at the lower end of the limit shaft seat, or the positioning groove is directly opened on the heat insulation seat. The collarbone piece rotates with the locking pin member, enabling the rib to be stuck into the positioning groove, thereby restricting the rotational freedom of the locking pin member. Simply put, when the collarbone piece extends out of the expansion port and is stuck between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate to lock the iron body on the steam station, at this time, the rib is clamped on the positioning groove to prevent the locking pin member from rotating randomly and causing the locking to fail.

[0010] According to the above solution, the utility model further includes a positioning post, the positioning post is concentrically arranged with the inner hole of the limit shaft seat, and the lower end of the positioning post is fixedly connected to the steam station; the lower end of the locking pin member is rotatably sleeved on the positioning post, a compression spring is arranged on the positioning post, the lower end of the compression spring abuts against the steam station, and the upper end of the compression spring abuts against the locking pin member. The positioning post is used to improve the rotational flexibility of the locking pin member. Of course, the limit shaft seat, the locking pin member and the positioning post are all concentrically arranged, and the positioning post can ensure the structural strength of the locking pin member. Further, the compression spring is used to drive the locking pin member to have a potential energy tending upward, so that the rib on the collarbone piece can be clamped in the positioning groove to ensure the stability of locking.

[0011] According to the above solution, two positioning ribs are arranged on the limit shaft seat, a positioning groove is formed between the two positioning ribs, and the rib can be snap-connected in the positioning groove between the two positioning ribs. In another embodiment of the utility model, when the rib passes through the first positioning rib, it is clamped into the positioning groove, so that the rotational freedom of the locking pin member is limited, and the collarbone piece is prevented from slipping out between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate, resulting in locking failure.

[0012] According to the above solution, the heat insulation seat is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. When the iron body is placed on the heat insulation seat, the front end of the iron body is higher than the rear end of the iron body; the rear end of the iron body is cooperatively connected to the heat insulation seat, and the limit shaft seat and the locking pin member are arranged at the front end of the heat insulation seat. The heat insulation seat makes the iron body in an inclined posture with the front end high and the rear end low. Usually, users are used to placing the iron body vertically on the heat insulation seat, making the rear end of the iron body abut against the heat insulation seat, which is easier to find, and then laying the iron body flat so that the heat conduction bottom plate fits the heat insulation seat. Then, the iron body is locked on the steam station through the locking pin member at the front end. Such an operation sequence is more in line with the grasping habit of users when using the iron body, is easier to operate, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0013] According to the above solution, a limit bracket is arranged at the rear end of the heat insulation seat, and the limit bracket can be inserted between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate. The limit bracket is used to lock the rear end of the iron body. As mentioned above, users usually get used to first contacting the heat insulation seat with the rear end of the iron body, pairing the rear end of the iron body with the limit bracket and then laying the iron body flat on the heat insulation seat, and then locking the front end of the iron body through the locking pin member, so as to facilitate the integrated transportation of the iron body and the steam station.

[0014] According to the above solution, a flat bottom groove is arranged on the heat insulation seat, and the flat bottom groove is adapted to the bottom contour of the iron body. The flat bottom groove is a concave structure on the heat insulation seat. The flat bottom groove can facilitate the user to find the position of the iron body and facilitate the user to pair the rear end of the iron body with the limit bracket. Of course, the flat bottom groove can limit the left and right displacement between the iron body and the heat insulation seat, so that the iron body and the steam station are stably connected.

[0015] A locking structure of an iron for a steam station according to the present utility model. The locking pin member can drive the clavicle piece to rotate on the heat insulation base, so that it is inserted into or slides out of the gap between the iron body and the heat conduction bottom plate, thereby locking or unlocking the iron body and the steam station, enabling the iron body to be carried and transferred together with the steam station, with convenient and fast operation, and effectively improving the user experience.

By rotating the locking pin member 3, the collarbone piece 31 can be driven to insert into the gap between the iron body 2 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 21, so as to quickly lock the iron body 2 on the steam station 1, enabling the iron body 2 and the steam station 1 to be transported integrally, with convenient and fast operation, which can effectively improve the user experience.

[0027] A limiting shaft seat 12 is provided on the insulating seat 11. The locking pin member 3 is rotatably inserted into the inner hole of the limiting shaft seat 12, and the upper end of the locking pin member 3 extends out of the limiting shaft seat 12. An expansion port 13 is provided on the limiting shaft seat 12. The collarbone piece 31 can pass through the expansion port 13 and insert between the iron body 2 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 21, or the collarbone piece 31 can pass through the expansion port 13 and be arranged inside the insulating seat 11. The limiting shaft seat 12 is of a hollow structure. The limiting shaft seat 12 is usually integrally formed on the insulating seat 11 as the installation structure of the locking pin member 3. The upper end of the locking pin member 3 extends out of the limiting shaft seat 12, and a flat structure or a rolling column can be provided at the upper end of the locking pin member 3 to facilitate the user's rotation. The collarbone piece 31 is arranged on the outer wall of the locking pin member 3. When the locking pin member 3 rotates, the collarbone piece 31 rotates around it and passes through the expansion port 13, and inserts into or slides out of the gap between the iron body 2 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 21.

[0028] A positioning groove 14 is provided on the limiting shaft seat 12, and a rib 32 is provided on the collarbone piece 31. When the collarbone piece 31 passes through the expansion port 13 and inserts between the iron body 2 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 21, the rib 32 is snap-connected to the positioning groove 14 to make the locking pin member 3 cooperate with the limiting shaft seat 12 for connection. It can be understood that an installation space is provided between the insulating seat 11 and the steam station 1. The limiting shaft seat 12 is arranged on the insulating seat 11 so that its inner hole communicates with the installation space. The collarbone piece 31 is arranged below the limiting shaft seat 12, and the collarbone piece 31 can pass through the expansion port 13 and be received in the installation space. Further, the positioning groove 14 is arranged at the lower end of the limiting shaft seat 12, or the positioning groove 14 is directly opened on the insulating seat 11. The collarbone piece 31 rotates with the locking pin member 3, which can make the rib 32 snap into the positioning groove 14, thereby restricting the rotational freedom of the locking pin member 3. Briefly speaking, when the collarbone piece 31 extends out of the expansion port 13 and snaps into the gap between the iron body 2 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 21, the iron body 2 is locked on the steam station 1. At this time, the rib 32 is clamped on the positioning groove 14 to prevent the locking pin member 3 from rotating randomly and causing the locking to fail.

[0029] The utility model further includes a positioning column 15 which is concentric with the inner hole of the limit shaft seat 12, and the lower end of the positioning column 15 is fixedly connected to the steam station 1; the lower end of the locking pin 3 is rotatably sleeved on the positioning column 15, and a compression spring 16 is arranged on the positioning column 15. The lower end of the compression spring 16 abuts against the steam station 1, and the upper end of the compression spring 16 abuts against the locking pin 3. The positioning column 15 is used to improve the rotational flexibility of the locking pin 3. Of course, the limit shaft seat 12, the locking pin 3 and the positioning column 15 are all concentrically arranged, and the positioning column 15 can ensure the structural strength of the locking pin 3. Further, the compression spring 16 is used to drive the locking pin 3 to have a potential energy tending upward, so that the rib 32 on the collarbone piece 31 can be clamped on the positioning groove 14 to ensure the stability of locking.

[0030] Two positioning ribs are arranged on the limit shaft seat 12, and a positioning groove 14 is formed between the two positioning ribs. The rib 32 can be snap-connected to the positioning groove 14 between the two positioning ribs. In another embodiment of the utility model, when the rib 32 passes through the first positioning rib, it is clamped into the positioning groove 14, so that the rotational freedom of the locking pin 3 is limited, preventing the collarbone piece 31 from slipping out between the iron body 2 and the heat conduction bottom plate 21 and causing locking failure.

[0031] The heat insulation seat 11 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. When the iron body 2 is placed on the heat insulation seat 11, the front end of the iron body 2 is higher than the rear end of the iron body 2; the rear end of the iron body 2 is cooperatively connected to the heat insulation seat 11, and the limit shaft seat 12 and the locking pin 3 are arranged at the front end of the heat insulation seat 11. The heat insulation seat 11 makes the iron body 2 in an inclined posture with the front high and the rear low. Usually, users are used to vertically placing the iron body 2 on the heat insulation seat 11 so that the rear end of the iron body 2 abuts against the heat insulation seat 11, which is easier to find, and then laying the iron body 2 flat so that the heat conduction bottom plate 21 fits the heat insulation seat 11.
