[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 An ironing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a main board 12, a fan 14, a water tank 16, a steam generator 18 and a water pump 20. The housing 10 includes an outer shell 11 and a bracket 34. The bracket 34 is connected to the housing 11. The housing 11 is provided with an air inlet 22 and an air outlet 24. The bracket 34 forms a ventilation cavity 48. An exhaust port 36 is provided on one side of the ventilation cavity 48. The exhaust port 36 connects the air inlet 22 and the ventilation cavity 48, and the ventilation cavity 48 connects the air outlet 24. The main board 12 is arranged in the housing 11, and the exhaust port 36 is opened toward the main board 12. The fan 14 is arranged in the ventilation cavity 48. The water tank 16 is connected to the housing 11. The steam generator 18 is arranged in the ventilation cavity 48. The water pump 20 is located in the housing 11 and is connected to the water tank 16 and the steam generator 18 through a water pipe.

[0036] In the above-described ironing machine 100, the housing 11 is provided with an air inlet 22 and an air outlet 24, a ventilation cavity 48 is formed in the bracket 34, and an exhaust port 36 is provided on one side of the ventilation cavity 48. The exhaust port 36 communicates with the air inlet 22 and the ventilation cavity 48, and the ventilation cavity 48 communicates with the air outlet 24. When the fan 14 rotates, suction is generated to draw air outside the ironing machine 100 from the air inlet 22 through the exhaust port 36 into the ventilation cavity 48. This suction then draws high-temperature air from the area within the housing 11 where the mainboard 12 is located into the ventilation cavity 48 through the exhaust port 36, and finally out through the air outlet 24. This effectively dissipates heat from the ironing machine 100, ensures the safety of the mainboard 12, and enables the ironing machine 100 to operate normally.

[0037] Specifically, the ironing machine 100 is a common household appliance whose primary function is to remove wrinkles from clothing through the use of heat and pressure, restoring the clothing to a smooth and flat state. When using the ironing machine 100, the user can set different heat levels based on the material of the clothing and the desired temperature. For example, cotton and linen clothing may require a higher temperature to effectively remove wrinkles, while delicate or synthetic fabrics such as silk and polyester require a lower temperature to avoid damage. The ironing machine 100 may also be equipped with a temperature adjustment knob or a digital display, allowing the user to easily select the temperature setting that best suits their clothing.

[0038] In order to facilitate storage and carrying, there is also a handheld portable ironing machine 100. Compared with a vertical iron, the handheld portable ironing machine 100 is more suitable for use when traveling or on a business trip. It can be easily placed in a suitcase or handbag without taking up too much space.

[0039] The bracket 34 can be connected to the opening of the outer shell 11. The air inlet 22 is provided on one side of the outer shell 11 near the bottom, and a plurality of air inlet holes 22 are evenly provided. The air outlet 24 can be provided on the top of the outer shell 11, and a plurality of air outlet holes 24 are evenly provided. The main board 12 includes a substrate and components. When the main board 12 is working, it can generate heat so that the air in the outer shell 11 heats up and becomes high-temperature gas. An exhaust port 36 is provided on the side of the ventilation cavity 48 facing the main board 12. The exhaust port 36 connects the air inlet 22 and the ventilation cavity 48, and the ventilation cavity 48 connects the air outlet 24. The main board 12 can be located in the channel connecting the exhaust port 36 and the air inlet 22.

[0040] The housing 11 includes a handle 28, which may define a passage connecting a portion of the exhaust port 36 to the air inlet 22. The water tank 16 may be positioned opposite the handle 28. It should be noted that the water tank 16 and the housing 11 may be detachably connected or fastened together using a snap or other means to facilitate removal of the water tank 16 for refilling.

[0041] In one embodiment, after the ironing machine 100 is started, the water pump 20 can pump water from the water tank 16 into the steam generator 18 through the water pipe. When the fan 14 rotates, it can generate suction to draw air outside the ironing machine 100 from the air inlet 22 through the exhaust port 36 into the ventilation cavity 48. This can then bring high-temperature air in the area where the mainboard 12 in the housing 11 is located into the ventilation cavity 48 through the exhaust port 36, and finally be discharged from the air outlet 24. This can effectively dissipate heat from the ironing machine 100, ensure the safety of the mainboard 12, and enable the ironing machine 100 to operate normally.

[0042] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fan 14 has an exhaust duct 50 , which connects the exhaust port 36 , the ventilation cavity 48 and the air outlet 24 .

[0043] In this way, when the fan 14 rotates, it can generate suction to draw the high-temperature gas entering from the exhaust port 36 toward the air outlet 24 through the exhaust duct 50 and discharge it. At the same time, the high-temperature gas in the ventilation cavity 48 can also be discharged through the exhaust duct 50.

[0044] Specifically, the fan 14 can be disposed within the ventilation cavity 48 and mounted on the bracket 34. In one embodiment, when the fan 14 rotates, it can generate suction to draw the high-temperature gas entering from the exhaust port 36 toward the air outlet 24 through the exhaust duct 50 for discharge. At the same time, the high-temperature gas in the ventilation cavity 48 can also be discharged through the exhaust duct 50.

[0045] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the ironing machine 100 includes a first chamber 30 , the mainboard 12 is disposed in the first chamber 30 , and the first chamber 30 is connected to the exhaust port 36 and the air inlet 22 .

[0046] In this way, external air can enter the first chamber 30 through the air inlet 22 , and the high-temperature gas in the first chamber 30 can be discharged from the exhaust port 36 , thereby effectively dissipating heat from the first chamber 30 .

[0047] Specifically, a first chamber 30 can be defined between the housing 11 and the bracket 34, and the first chamber 30 is located near the bottom of the ironing machine 100. The water pump 20, the main board 12, and some water pipes can be disposed in the first chamber 30. In one embodiment, the fan 14 generates suction when it rotates. Due to the suction force of the fan 14, the high-temperature air in the first chamber 30 can enter the first chamber 30 through the air inlet 22, thereby achieving a flow of hot air in the first chamber 30. The high-temperature air in the first chamber 30 can then be discharged through the exhaust port 36, thereby effectively dissipating heat from the first chamber 30.

[0048] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the ironing machine 100 includes a second chamber 32 , which is connected to the air outlet 24 and the exhaust duct 50 .

[0049] In this way, the gas exhausted from the exhaust duct 50 can have enough space to gather and avoid backflow, so that the gas can be discharged from the air outlet 24.

[0050] Specifically, the housing 11 and the bracket 34 may define a second chamber 32, which is located near the top of the ironing machine 100. A portion of the water pipe may be disposed within the second chamber 32. In one embodiment, when the fan 14 rotates, it draws in air entering from the exhaust port 36 and air within the ventilation cavity 48, and then discharges the air into the second chamber 32 through the exhaust duct 50. The second chamber 32 allows sufficient space for the air discharged from the exhaust duct 50 to accumulate, preventing backflow, so that the air can be discharged through the air outlet 24.

[0051] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ironing machine 100 includes a sealing structure 63 disposed between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32 .

[0052] In this way, the steam or other gas in the second chamber 32 can be prevented from flowing back into the first chamber 30 through the gap between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32 .

[0053] Specifically, in one embodiment, a sealing structure 63 is provided between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32 to prevent steam or other gases in the second chamber 32 from flowing back into the first chamber 30 through the gap between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32. The sealing structure 63 can achieve sealing by using a sealing ring, sealant, a sealing groove, or the like.

[0054] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the ironing machine 100 includes a working part 40, which is connected to the shell 10. The working part 40 is provided with a suction member 42, and the suction member 42 has a suction surface 44. The suction surface 44 is located on the side of the suction member 42 away from the steam generator 18, and the suction surface 44 is provided with a suction hole 46; the ironing machine 100 also includes a ventilation cavity 48, the steam generator 18 is located in the ventilation cavity 48, the ventilation cavity 48 is connected to the second chamber 32, and the suction hole 46 is connected to the second chamber 32 through the ventilation cavity 48.

[0055] In this way, the high-temperature gas in the ventilation cavity 48 can flow to the second chamber 32 and finally be discharged from the gas outlet 24 .

[0056] Specifically, the working portion 40 is connected to the housing 10 and to one end of the bracket 34. An air suction member 42 can be annular and connected to the housing 10. An air suction surface 44 is located on the side of the air suction member 42 facing away from the steam generator 18 and closer to the external environment. The air suction surface 44 can be provided with a plurality of air suction holes 46. The housing 10 can also be partitioned into a ventilation cavity 48, which can be connected to the ventilator 14 and, in turn, to the second chamber 32.

[0057] In one embodiment, the steam generator 18 can generate a large amount of heat when working, so that the gas in the ventilation cavity 48 becomes high-temperature gas. The outside air can enter the ventilation cavity 48 through the suction hole 46, and then the high-temperature gas in the ventilation cavity 48 can be brought into the second chamber 32 through the fan 14, and finally discharged from the outlet hole 24.

[0058] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, the working part 40 includes a filter plate 52, which is located on the side of the suction member 42 facing the steam generator 18. The filter plate 52 is provided with a filter hole 54, which passes through the filter plate 52. The filter plate 52 and the suction member 42 are stacked, and the filter hole 54 is connected to the suction hole 46.

[0059] In this way, the filter plate 52 can filter the air entering the ventilation cavity 48 to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing 10 .

[0060] Specifically, the filter plate 52 can be annular and connected to one end of the bracket 34. The filter plate 52 is provided with a plurality of filter holes 54, with the plurality of filter ports evenly spaced. The filter holes 54 communicate with the ventilation cavity 48. In one embodiment, outside air can enter through the air intake hole and then pass through the filter holes 54 into the ventilation cavity 48. The filter plate 52 can filter the air entering the ventilation cavity 48 to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing 10.

[0061] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, the ironing machine 100 includes a filter element 56 , which is disposed between the suction element 42 and the filter plate 52 .

[0062] In this way, the filtering performance of the system can be further improved, preventing tiny particles, dust and other potential pollutants in the air from entering the housing 10.

[0063] Specifically, the filter layer can be a HEPA piece or filter cotton, which is usually composed of multiple layers of fibers. These fibers are densely interwoven to form an effective barrier that can intercept most particulate matter. When air is inhaled through the suction piece 42, it can first pass through the filter element 56. Since the filter element 56 can slow down the flow of air, thereby increasing the chance of contact between the particles and the fibers, the particles are effectively captured in the filter element 56. In short, the filter element 56 provided between the filter plate 52 and the suction piece 42 can improve the filtering performance of the entire system by physical interception, protect the subsequent filter plate 52, and also provide a convenient maintenance method for maintenance personnel.

[0064] exist Figure 4 In order to facilitate the installation of the filter 56, a buffer groove 58 is provided on the side of the suction member 42 facing the filter plate 52, the filter 56 is arranged in the buffer groove 58, and the suction hole 46 and the filter hole 54 are connected to the buffer groove 58.

[0065] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sealing structure 63 includes a first sealing member 64, a second sealing member 66, a first sealing groove 68, and a second sealing groove 70. The bracket 34 includes a first mounting bracket 60 and a second mounting bracket 62, wherein the first mounting bracket 60 is connected to the second mounting bracket 62. The first sealing member 64 is disposed on a side of the first mounting bracket 60 close to the inner sidewall of the housing 11, and the second sealing member 66 is disposed on a side of the second mounting bracket 62 close to the inner sidewall of the housing 11. The first sealing groove 68 and the second sealing groove 70 are disposed on the inner sidewall of the housing 11. The first sealing member 64 is disposed in the first sealing groove 68, and the second sealing member 66 is disposed in the second sealing groove 70.

[0066] In this way, the steam generated by the steam generator 18 and overflowing into the second chamber 32 can be effectively isolated from the mainboard 12 of the first chamber 30 , thereby achieving water-electricity separation and protecting the safety of the mainboard 12 .

[0067] Specifically, the steam generator 18 is mounted within a first mounting bracket 60, and the fan 14 is mounted within a second mounting bracket 34. The first mounting bracket 60 has a first seal 64 on the side closest to the inner wall of the housing 11. Two first seals 64 are symmetrically arranged. The second mounting bracket 62 has a second seal 66 on the side closest to the inner wall of the housing 11. Two second seals 66 are symmetrically arranged. One end of each second seal 66 can be connected to each other, and the other end can be positioned above one end of the first seal 64 on the same side. The inner wall of the housing 11 can be provided with two first sealing grooves 68 and two second sealing grooves 70, respectively. The two second sealing grooves 70 are interconnected. In one embodiment, by placing the first seal 64 in the first sealing groove 68 and the second seal 66 in the second sealing groove 70, the connection between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32 is sealed, effectively isolating steam generated by the steam generator 18 and overflowing into the second chamber 32 from the mainboard 12 of the first chamber 30, thereby achieving water-electricity separation and protecting the safety of the mainboard 12. It should be noted that after filling the first sealing groove 68 and the second sealing groove 70 with sealant, the first sealing member 64 and the second sealing member 66 are respectively disposed in the first sealing groove 68 and the second sealing groove 70 to enhance airtightness.

[0068] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, the working portion 40 includes a heat equalizing member 72 , which is embedded in the air suction member 42 . The heat equalizing member 72 is connected to the steam generator 18 , and the steam generator 18 and the heat equalizing member 72 define a steam refill chamber 74 .

[0069] In this way, the water spraying of the ironing machine 100 can be reduced, and the amount of steam sprayed can be guaranteed, thereby improving the performance of the ironing machine 100.

[0070] Specifically, the filter plate 52 and the air suction member 42 may both be annular, and each of the filter plate 52 and the air suction member 42 may be fitted with a heat equalizer 72. In one embodiment, a steam refill chamber 74 is provided between the heat equalizer 72 and the steam generator 18. The steam refill chamber 74 may be a sealed chamber. Water passes through the steam generator 18 to form steam, which is then reheated by the steam refill chamber 74. This prevents the steam from forming condensate upon cooling, which would otherwise cause water spraying. This reduces water spraying by the ironing machine 100, ensures the amount of steam sprayed, and thus improves the performance of the ironing machine 100.

[0071] In some examples, the heat spreader 72 can be a metal plate structure, for example, an aluminum alloy plate structure. The heat spreader 72 is in contact with the steam generator 18, so that the heat from the steam generator 18 is transferred to the heat spreader 72, thereby heating the clothes and assisting steam ironing to achieve a better ironing effect.

[0072] To improve the ironing effect of the ironing machine 100, in some examples, the surface of the heat spreader 72 facing away from the steam generator 18 and the surface of the air suction member 42 facing away from the steam generator 18 are located on the same plane. In this way, the heat spreader 72 and the air suction member 42 are located on the same plane as the surface of the clothes to be ironed. When the ironing machine 100 is in use, the heat spreader 72 and the air suction member 42 provide a more even ironing effect on the clothes.

[0073] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, the heat-equalizing member 72 has a heat-equalizing surface 76, which is located on the side of the heat-equalizing member 72 facing away from the steam generator 18. The heat-equalizing surface 76 is provided with a steam port 78, and the heat-equalizing surface 76 is provided with a groove 80. The steam port 78 is located in the groove 80, and the steam port 78 is connected to the steam refill chamber 74.

[0074] This is beneficial to improving the ironing effect, reducing the probability of steam being sucked into the housing 10, and improving the utilization rate of steam.

[0075] Specifically, the steam generated by the steam generator 18 is suitable for being ejected through the steam refill chamber 74 and the steam outlet 78. The steam outlet 78 extends through the heat-scaling element 72. The heat-scaling element 72 serves as the main component for ironing. The heat-scaling element 72 evenly distributes heat. The steam generated by the steam generator 18 can be ejected through the steam outlet 78 toward the clothes to be ironed. The combined action of the heat-scaling element 72 and the steam can iron the clothes to be ironed. The heat-scaling element 72 and the air suction element 42 are located on the same side of the steam generator 18.

[0076] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment, the heat distribution member 72 is provided with a groove 80, and the steam outlet 78 is provided in the groove 80. When the ironing machine 100 is in operation, the clothes to be ironed are sucked in, and a concave steam area is formed between the clothes and the groove 80. The steam accumulated in this area can increase the temperature of the clothes surface, which is beneficial to improving the ironing effect, reducing the probability of steam being sucked into the housing 10, and improving the utilization rate of the steam.
