[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the utility model provides a desktop iron device with a locking structure, comprising an iron 1 and a base 2 for placing the iron 1, a heat insulation plate 3 is fixedly provided on the top of the base 2, a bottom plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the iron 1, a storage groove 5 for placing the iron 1 is provided on the heat insulation plate 3, and the bottom plate 4 is arranged in the storage groove 5; specifically, a locking unit for fixing the bottom plate 4 is provided in the storage groove 5, the locking unit comprises a fixed locking plate 6 fixedly provided on either side of the storage groove 5, and the locking unit further comprises a movable locking plate 7 rotatably provided on either side of the storage groove 5; the movable locking plate 7 is in a locked state when it contacts the bottom plate 4 and is limited, and is unlocked when it is disengaged from the bottom plate 4.

[0029] The fixed locking plate 6 is in an "L" shape, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 4 and the inner wall of the fixed locking plate 6 are in abutment and fixed.

[0030] The movable locking plate 7 includes a rotating end 71 and a fixed end 72 fixed on the insulation board 3 ; specifically, the fixed end 72 is fixed by a rotating shaft 8 inserted into the insulation board 3 , and the rotating end 71 rotates around the fixed end 72 .

[0031] The heat insulation board 3 is provided with a positioning unit that cooperates with the rotating end 71 for positioning; specifically, the positioning unit includes a cover plate 9 and a positioning column 10 provided in the cover plate 9, and the top end of the positioning column 10 extends out of the surface of the heat insulation board 3.

[0032] A spring 11 is sleeved in the cover plate 9 ; specifically, one end of the spring 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning column 10 , and the other end of the spring 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the cover plate 9 .

[0033] The movable locking plate 7 is provided with a positioning hole 12 that cooperates with the top end of the positioning column 10 for positioning.

[0034] The heat insulation plate 3 is provided with a limit block 13 near the rotating shaft 8 for limiting the rotation angle of the movable locking plate 7 in the unlocked state. The limit block 13 is in contact with the fixed end 72 of the movable locking plate 7.

[0035] A plurality of support members 14 for supporting the bottom plate 4 are provided in the receiving groove 5 , and the support members 14 are L-shaped.

[0036] The rotating end 71 of the movable locking plate 7 is provided with a wrench 15 for turning the movable locking plate 7 .

[0037] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the bottom plate 4 of the iron 1 is placed in the storage groove 5, the support member 14 in the storage groove 5 contacts the bottom surface of the bottom plate 4 to provide support, and one end of the bottom plate 4 contacts the inner wall of the fixed locking plate 6 to limit the position, and the movable locking plate 7 is rotated around the fixed end 72 until the positioning hole 12 in the movable locking plate 7 and the top end of the positioning column 10 are engaged and limited. At this time, the end of the bottom plate 4 away from the fixed locking plate 6 contacts the inner wall of the movable locking plate 7 to limit the position, thereby achieving the locked state of the iron 1;

[0038] When the wrench 15 is bent outward, the spring 11 is compressed, so that the positioning hole 12 and the top end of the positioning column 10 are disengaged from the limit. After disengaging from the limit, the spring 11 pushes the positioning column 10 to return to its original position. The unlocking rotation angle range of the movable locking plate 7 is until the fixed end 72 of the movable locking plate 7 contacts the limit block 13, that is, the rotation stops. At this time, it is in the unlocked state, and the bottom plate 4 can be detached and taken out from the storage slot 5.

[0039] The advantages of the present invention are that the front and rear locking of the iron 1 is improved by fixing the locking plate 6 and the movable locking plate 7, and the stability of the iron 1 when placed is improved, and the iron 1 can be easily unlocked and locked by turning the movable locking plate 7, which is easy to operate and has a simple structure, thereby improving the user experience.
