Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ironing machines, in particular to an ironing machine. Background Art
[0002] As a common clothing care appliance in daily life, ironing machines are attracting increasing attention from consumers for their functionality and performance. However, most existing ironing machines offer only a single steam or dry ironing function, making them difficult to meet users' diverse ironing needs. Furthermore, the complex control methods of existing ironing machines lead to high production costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an ironing machine to address the problem that the ironing machine cannot achieve steam ironing and dry ironing at the same time and the control method is complicated.
[0004] An ironing machine comprises: a steam generator, the steam generator being used for ironing clothes; a housing assembly, the housing assembly being arranged to cover the steam generator; a handle housing assembly, the handle housing assembly being arranged on the housing assembly and located on a side of the housing assembly away from the steam generator, the handle housing assembly being rotatable relative to the housing assembly; and a knob control assembly, the knob control assembly being arranged on the handle housing assembly, one end of the knob control assembly away from the handle housing assembly extending through the housing assembly to be connected to the steam generator, the knob control assembly being capable of blocking or opening a water inlet of the steam generator.
[0005] The present application discloses an ironing machine. By providing a knob control assembly, the user can conveniently control the closing and opening of the steam generator water inlet, thereby adjusting the amount of steam generated at any time as needed, making the ironing process more efficient. The steam generated by the steam generator can quickly act on the clothes, shortening the ironing time. Or when the steam generator water inlet is completely closed, the ironing machine can be switched to dry ironing mode, making it easy to switch between the steam ironing mode and dry ironing mode of the ironing machine. In addition, the handle housing assembly can rotate relative to the housing assembly, making the operation of the ironing machine more flexible and convenient for users. The structural design of the knob control assembly and the handle housing assembly makes the operation of the ironing machine safer, and operation can be achieved simply by using the knob control assembly. In addition, the housing assembly supports and protects the internal components of the ironing machine, preventing the internal components of the ironing machine from being exposed to the outside, further improving the safety of use.
[0006] In one embodiment, the knob control assembly includes a knob assembly, a linkage assembly, and a first valve core. The knob assembly is disposed on the handle housing assembly and located outside the handle housing assembly. The linkage assembly is located within the interior space of the handle housing assembly, with a portion of the linkage assembly extending through the handle housing assembly to connect to the knob assembly. The first valve core is disposed on the linkage assembly and located at an end of the linkage assembly distal from the knob assembly. The end of the first valve core distal from the linkage assembly extends out of the handle housing assembly and through the housing assembly to the water inlet of the steam generator. The knob assembly is disposed outside the handle housing assembly, making it convenient for the user to operate. The linkage assembly is located within the interior space of the handle housing assembly, with a portion of the linkage assembly extending through the handle housing assembly to connect to the knob assembly. This design ensures a more stable connection between the knob assembly and the linkage assembly, reducing the risk of loosening during use. The first valve core is disposed on the linkage assembly and located at an end distal from the knob assembly, ensuring that operation of the knob assembly can precisely control the position of the first valve core, thereby blocking or opening the water inlet of the steam generator.
[0007] In one embodiment, the knob assembly is rotatable relative to the handle housing assembly and has at least a first and a second position relative to the handle housing assembly. When the knob assembly is in the first position, the linkage assembly is driven to actuate the first valve core to open the water inlet of the steam generator. When the knob assembly is in the second position, the linkage assembly is driven to actuate the first valve core to block the water inlet of the steam generator. The knob assembly is rotatable relative to the handle housing assembly and has a first and a second position. This design allows the user to select different operating modes of the ironing machine by simply turning the knob assembly. When the knob assembly is in the first position, the water inlet of the steam generator is opened, and the ironing machine generates steam. When the knob assembly is in the second position, the water inlet of the steam generator is blocked, and the ironing machine stops generating steam and switches to dry ironing mode. This convenient control method eliminates the need for complex operations and greatly improves ease of use. Furthermore, different ironing modes can be selected based on different clothing materials and ironing needs, increasing the applicability and flexibility of the ironing machine.
[0008] In one embodiment, the housing assembly includes a support housing assembly and an outer housing. The support housing assembly is mounted over the steam generator, and the outer housing is mounted over the support housing assembly and located on a side of the support housing assembly away from the steam generator. The support housing assembly is provided with a first flow channel, and a portion of the support housing assembly cooperates with the steam generator to form a second flow channel. The first and second flow channels are sequentially connected to the water inlet of the steam generator. By mounting the support housing assembly over the steam generator and the outer housing over the support housing assembly, the ironing machine is compact and easy to carry and store. The support housing assembly is provided with the first flow channel and cooperates with the steam generator to form the second flow channel. This double-layered flow channel design ensures smooth and continuous water flow to the steam generator, improving the performance and stability of the ironing machine. The first and second flow channels are sequentially connected to the water inlet of the steam generator, ensuring that the steam generator receives a continuous water supply, thereby continuously generating steam for ironing clothes and improving ironing efficiency.
[0009] In one embodiment, the invention further includes an elastic member and a second valve core, wherein the elastic member is disposed on the steam generator, and the second valve core is disposed on the support housing assembly and / or the steam generator. The second valve core penetrates the second flow channel and extends into the first flow channel. The end of the elastic member away from the steam generator is disposed opposite the second valve core. The elastic member has at least a first state and a second state. When the elastic member is in the first state, the elastic member does not contact the second valve core, and the second valve core has a first position, at which time the second valve core blocks the second flow channel. When the elastic member is in the second state, the elastic member contacts the second valve core and drives the second valve core to a second position, at which time the second flow channel is open. By installing the elastic member on the steam generator, when the temperature of the steam generator itself is low, the elastic member does not deform and is in the first state. At this time, the elastic member does not contact the valve core, and the valve core is in the first position, blocking the second flow channel. After the steam generator converts the remaining water into steam, its own temperature is high, causing the elastic member to deform due to the heat and enter the second state. At this time, the elastic member contacts the valve core and drives the valve core to the second position, so that the second flow channel is connected to the first flow channel, continuously supplying water to the steam generator, thereby maintaining a continuous supply of steam. When the steam generator stops converting water into steam, its own temperature drops, causing the elastic member to switch to the first state, causing the valve core to continue to block the second flow channel and stop supplying water to the steam generator. By using the different states of the elastic member to control the position of the valve core, the connection and closure of the second flow channel can be flexibly adjusted. Automatic water supply control to the steam generator is achieved using a simple mechanical structure, without the need for a complex electronic control system. This not only simplifies the user's operation process, but also reduces the maintenance cost and failure rate of the equipment.
[0010] In one embodiment, the outer shell includes an outer shell body and a water tank shell. The outer shell body is mounted on the support shell assembly, and the water tank shell is mounted on the outer shell body. The water tank shell is provided with a water storage chamber and a water outlet. The water storage chamber and the water outlet are sequentially connected to the first flow channel. By dividing the outer shell into two parts, the outer shell body and the water tank shell, and integrating the water tank shell with the outer shell body, the overall structure is optimized, the assembly process is simplified, the integration is improved, and the ironing machine is more compact. The water tank shell is provided with a water storage chamber to enable the ironing machine to have a water storage function. The water storage chamber and the water outlet are sequentially connected to the first flow channel, so that the water in the water storage chamber can ultimately flow to the steam generator, so that the steam generator continuously converts the water into steam for ironing clothes.
[0011] In one embodiment, the outer shell further comprises a water outlet nozzle, which is disposed on the water tank shell and located at the water outlet. The water outlet nozzle is in communication with the water outlet, and an end of the water outlet distal to the water outlet extends into the first flow channel. By disposing the water outlet nozzle on the water tank shell and directly communicating with the water outlet, additional pipes or connectors are reduced, thereby making the entire ironing machine more compact and simplifying the installation process. Furthermore, the design of the water outlet nozzle allows water to flow directly from the water outlet to the first flow channel, reducing the water flow path, thereby improving water flow efficiency and accelerating water supply during the ironing process.
[0012] In one embodiment, the steam generator includes a steam generator body and an ironing board. The ironing board is mounted on the steam generator body and located on a side of the steam generator body away from the housing assembly. The integrated design of the ironing board and the steam generator body makes the ironing machine more compact, making it easier to carry and store. It also facilitates direct steam output from the ironing board, preventing steam leakage and potential safety hazards.
[0013] In one embodiment, the steam generator further includes an electric heating tube, which is disposed on the steam generator body and is capable of converting water into steam and / or generating heat and transferring the heat to the ironing board. The electric heating tube converts water into steam, providing a continuous steam supply to the ironing board and ensuring uniform ironing. Furthermore, the ability of the electric heating tube to generate heat and transfer heat to the ironing board allows the ironing machine to be used even without steam, increasing its applicability and flexibility. The provision of the electric heating tube simplifies the structure of the ironing machine, reduces reliance on an external steam source, and makes the ironing machine more portable and easy to use.
[0014] In one embodiment, the ironing board is provided with a plurality of steam output holes, which are evenly spaced apart. By evenly spacing the steam output holes on the ironing board, steam can be evenly and efficiently delivered to the garments being ironed, improving ironing quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the rational layout of the steam output holes and the uniform steam output help reduce safety risks such as localized overheating or steam leakage during ironing, thereby ensuring user safety.
[0015] In one embodiment, a water tank cover assembly is further included, the water tank cover assembly includes a main cover body and a silicone cover, the shell assembly is provided with a water inlet, the main cover body is provided on the shell assembly and is located at the water inlet, the main cover body is provided with a water inlet, the silicone cover is provided on the main cover body and is partially located at the water inlet. By having the main cover body provided at the water inlet, the sealing of the water inlet is ensured, and the silicone cover is partially located at the water inlet, utilizing the elasticity and water resistance of the silicone material to effectively ensure the sealing of the water inlet, thereby preventing water leakage in the ironing machine. When adding water, the user only needs to open the silicone cover and add water through the water inlet without disassembling other components. This design greatly simplifies the steps of adding water and improves the convenience of adding water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.
[0035] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] The ironing machines according to some embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment discloses an ironing machine, comprising: a steam generator 1, which is used for ironing clothes; a housing assembly 2, which is covered on the steam generator 1; a handle housing assembly 3, which is arranged on the housing assembly 2 and is located on a side of the housing assembly 2 away from the steam generator 1, and the handle housing assembly 3 can rotate relative to the housing assembly 2; a knob control assembly 4, which is arranged on the handle housing assembly 3, and one end of the knob control assembly 4 away from the handle housing assembly 3 extends through the housing assembly 2 and is connected to the steam generator 1, and the knob control assembly 4 can block or open the water inlet of the steam generator 1.
[0038] The present application discloses an ironing machine. By providing a knob control assembly, the user can conveniently control the closing and opening of the steam generator water inlet, thereby adjusting the amount of steam generated at any time as needed, making the ironing process more efficient. The steam generated by the steam generator can quickly act on the clothes, shortening the ironing time. Or when the steam generator water inlet is completely closed, the ironing machine can be switched to dry ironing mode, making it easy to switch between the steam ironing mode and dry ironing mode of the ironing machine. In addition, the handle housing assembly can rotate relative to the housing assembly, making the operation of the ironing machine more flexible and convenient for users. The structural design of the knob control assembly and the handle housing assembly makes the operation of the ironing machine safer, and operation can be achieved simply by using the knob control assembly. In addition, the housing assembly supports and protects the internal components of the ironing machine, preventing the internal components of the ironing machine from being exposed to the outside, further improving the safety of use.
[0039] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the knob control assembly 4 includes a knob assembly 41, a linkage assembly 42, and a first valve core 43. The knob assembly 41 is disposed on the handle housing assembly 3 and is located outside the handle housing assembly 3. The linkage assembly 42 is located in the interior space of the handle housing assembly 3. A portion of the linkage assembly 42 passes through the handle housing assembly 3 and is connected to the knob assembly 41. The first valve core 43 is disposed on the linkage assembly 42 and is located at the end of the linkage assembly 42 away from the knob assembly 41. The end of the first valve core 43 away from the linkage assembly 42 passes through the handle housing assembly 3 and extends through the housing assembly 2 to the water inlet of the steam generator 1. The knob assembly 41 is disposed outside the handle housing assembly 3, making it convenient for the user to operate. The linkage assembly 42 is located in the interior space of the handle housing assembly 3, and a portion of the linkage assembly 42 passes through the handle housing assembly 3 and is connected to the knob assembly 41. This design ensures a more stable connection between the knob assembly 41 and the linkage assembly 42, reducing the risk of loosening during use. The first valve core 43 is arranged on the linkage assembly 42 and is located at an end away from the knob assembly 41, which can ensure that the operation of the knob assembly 41 can accurately control the position of the first valve core 43, thereby blocking or opening the water inlet of the steam generator 1.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further provides that the knob assembly 41 is rotatable relative to the handle housing assembly 3 and has at least a first position and a second position relative to the handle housing assembly 3. When the knob assembly 41 is in the first position, the linkage assembly 42 is driven to actuate the first valve core 43 to open the water inlet of the steam generator 1. When the knob assembly 41 is in the second position, the linkage assembly 42 is driven to actuate the first valve core 43 to block the water inlet of the steam generator 1. Because the knob assembly 41 is rotatable relative to the handle housing assembly 3 and has a first and second position, this design allows the user to switch between different operating modes of the ironing machine by simply turning the knob assembly 41. When the knob assembly 41 is in the first position, the water inlet of the steam generator 1 is opened, and the ironing machine generates steam. When the knob assembly 41 is in the second position, the water inlet of the steam generator 1 is blocked, and the ironing machine stops generating steam, switching to dry ironing mode. This convenient control method eliminates the need for complex operations and greatly improves ease of use. In addition, different ironing modes can be selected according to different clothing materials and ironing needs, which improves the applicability and flexibility of the ironing machine.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the housing assembly 2 includes a support housing assembly 21 and an outer housing 22. The support housing assembly 21 is mounted on the steam generator 1, and the outer housing 22 is mounted on the support housing assembly 21 and located on the side of the support housing assembly 21 away from the steam generator 1. The support housing assembly 21 is provided with a first flow passage 201, and a portion of the support housing assembly 21 cooperates with the steam generator 1 to form a second flow passage 202. The first flow passage 201 and the second flow passage 202 are sequentially connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 1. By mounting the support housing assembly 21 on the steam generator 1 and the outer housing 22 on the support housing assembly 21, the ironing machine has a compact structure, making it easy to carry and store. The support housing assembly 21 is provided with the first flow passage 201 and cooperates with the steam generator 1 to form the second flow passage 202. This double-layered flow passage design ensures smooth and continuous water flow to the steam generator 1, improving the performance and stability of the ironing machine. The first flow channel 201 and the second flow channel 202 are sequentially connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 1, ensuring that the steam generator 1 can continuously receive water supply, thereby continuously generating steam for ironing clothes, thereby improving ironing efficiency.
[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: it also includes an elastic member 5 and a second valve core 6, the elastic member 5 is disposed on the steam generator 1, the second valve core 6 is disposed on the support housing assembly 21 and / or the steam generator 1, the second valve core 6 penetrates the second flow passage 202 and extends into the first flow passage 201, and the end of the elastic member 5 away from the steam generator 1 is disposed opposite the second valve core 6; the elastic member 5 has at least a first state and a second state. When the elastic member 5 is in the first state, the elastic member 5 does not contact the second valve core 6, the second valve core 6 has a first position, and the second valve core 6 blocks the second flow passage 202; when the elastic member 5 is in the second state, the elastic member 5 contacts the second valve core 6 and drives the second valve core 6 to a second position, and the second flow passage 202 is open. By installing the elastic member 5 on the steam generator 1, when the temperature of the steam generator 1 itself is low, the elastic member 5 does not deform and is in the first state. At this time, the elastic member 5 does not contact the valve core 6, the valve core 6 is in the first position, and blocks the second flow passage 202. After the steam generator 1 converts the remaining water into steam, its own temperature is relatively high, causing the elastic member 5 to deform due to the heat and enter the second state. At this time, the elastic member 5 contacts the valve core 6 and drives the valve core 6 to the second position, so that the second flow channel 202 and the first flow channel 201 are connected, and water is continuously supplied to the steam generator 1, thereby maintaining a continuous supply of steam. When the steam generator 1 stops converting water into steam, its own temperature drops, causing the elastic member 5 to switch to the first state, causing the valve core 6 to continue to block the second flow channel 202, and stop supplying water to the steam generator 1. By using the different states of the elastic member 5 to control the position of the valve core 6, the connection and closure of the second flow channel 202 can be flexibly adjusted. Automatic water supply control to the steam generator 1 is achieved using a simple mechanical structure, without the need for a complex electronic control system. This not only simplifies the user's operation process, but also reduces the maintenance cost and failure rate of the equipment.
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that the outer shell 22 includes an outer shell body 221 and a water tank housing 222. The outer shell body 221 is mounted on the support housing assembly 21, and the water tank housing 222 is mounted on the outer shell body 221. The water tank housing 222 is provided with a water holding chamber 203 and a water outlet 204. The water holding chamber 203 and the water outlet 204 are sequentially connected to the first flow passage 201. By dividing the outer shell 22 into the outer shell body 221 and the water tank housing 222, the water tank housing 222 is integrated with the outer shell body 221, thereby optimizing the overall structure, simplifying the assembly process, improving integration, and making the ironing machine more compact. The water tank housing 222 is provided with a water holding chamber 203 so that the ironing machine has the function of storing water. The water holding chamber 203, the water outlet 204 and the first flow channel 201 are connected in sequence, so that the water in the water holding chamber 203 can eventually flow to the steam generator 1, so that the steam generator 1 continuously converts water into steam for ironing clothes.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the outer shell 22 also includes a water outlet 223, which is disposed on the water tank shell 222 and located at the water outlet 204. The water outlet 223 is connected to the water outlet 204, and one end of the water outlet 223 away from the water outlet 204 extends into the first flow channel 201. By disposing the water outlet 223 on the water tank shell 222 and directly connecting the water outlet 204, additional pipes or connectors are reduced, thereby making the entire ironing machine more compact and simplifying the installation process. In addition, the design of the water outlet 223 allows water to flow directly from the water outlet 204 to the first flow channel 201, reducing the water flow path, thereby improving water flow efficiency and accelerating water supply during the ironing process.
[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that the steam generator 1 includes a steam generator body 11 and an ironing board 12. The ironing board 12 is disposed on the steam generator body 11 and is located on a side of the steam generator body 11 away from the housing assembly 2. The integrated design of the ironing board 12 and the steam generator body 11 makes the ironing machine more compact and easy to carry and store. At the same time, it facilitates the direct output of steam from the ironing board 12, avoiding steam leakage and safety hazards.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further provides that the steam generator 1 further comprises an electric heating pipe 13, which is disposed on the steam generator body 11. The electric heating pipe 13 is capable of converting water into steam and / or generating heat and transferring the heat to the ironing board 12. The electric heating pipe 13 converts water into steam, providing a continuous steam supply to the ironing board 12 and ensuring uniform ironing. Furthermore, the electric heating pipe 13's ability to generate and transfer heat to the ironing board 12 allows the ironing machine to function even without steam, increasing its applicability and flexibility. The provision of the electric heating pipe 13 simplifies the structure of the ironing machine, reduces its reliance on an external steam source, and makes the ironing machine more portable and easy to use.
[0047] like Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further provides that the ironing board 12 is provided with a plurality of steam output holes 101, which are evenly spaced on the ironing board 12. By evenly spacing the steam output holes 101 on the ironing board 12, steam is evenly and efficiently delivered to the garments being ironed, improving ironing quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the rational layout of the steam output holes 101 and the uniform steam output help reduce safety risks such as localized overheating and steam leakage that may occur during ironing, thereby ensuring user safety.
[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further comprises: a water tank cover assembly 7, comprising a main cover body 71 and a silicone cover 72. The housing assembly 2 is provided with a water inlet 205. The main cover body 71 is provided on the housing assembly 2 and is located at the water inlet 205. The main cover body 71 is provided with a water inlet 701. The silicone cover 72 is provided on the main cover body 71 and is partially located at the water inlet 701. The main cover body 71 covers the water inlet 205, ensuring a tight seal at the water inlet 205. The silicone cover 72 is partially located at the water inlet 701, utilizing the elasticity and water resistance of the silicone material to effectively ensure a tight seal at the water inlet 701, preventing water leakage within the ironing machine. To add water, the user simply opens the silicone cover 72 and pours water through the water inlet 701, without having to remove other components. This design greatly simplifies the water adding process and improves the convenience of water addition.
