Furthermore, installing the pump inside the water tank occupies valuable space, further reducing the available water storage capacity. This not only limits the overall performance of the ironing machine but also complicates maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an ironing machine water tank structure and an ironing machine to address the problems of small water tank capacity and pump body occupying internal space.

[0004] A water tank structure for an ironing machine comprises: a steam generator, the steam generator being used to convert water into steam; a supporting shell assembly, the supporting shell assembly being arranged to cover the steam generator, the supporting shell assembly and part of the steam generator cooperating to form a flow passage, one end of the flow passage being communicated with a water inlet of the steam generator; an outer shell, the outer shell being arranged to cover the supporting shell assembly, the outer shell being located on a side of the supporting shell assembly away from the steam generator, the outer shell being provided with a water containing cavity, the water containing cavity being provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, the water outlet being communicated with an end of the flow passage away from the steam generator.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application discloses a water tank structure for an ironing machine. By rationally arranging the steam generator, support housing assembly, and outer housing, the water tank structure is compact, with components tightly aligned, effectively improving space utilization. The steam generator efficiently converts water into steam for ironing clothes, ensuring the ironing machine can quickly and stably provide the required steam during operation, thereby improving ironing efficiency. The flow passage formed by the support housing assembly and steam generator, along with the design of the water chamber and water outlet of the outer housing, further simplify the overall structure of the ironing machine water tank structure, maximizing the water tank capacity. Furthermore, the water in the water chamber is ensured to flow smoothly from the water outlet through the flow passage, ultimately reaching the steam generator for steam conversion. The rational design of the entire water flow path improves water flow efficiency and eliminates the need for a water pump. This further simplifies the internal structure of the ironing machine, miniaturizing the ironing machine while maximizing the water tank capacity. The outer housing protects the support housing assembly and steam generator, and the tight alignment of the components enhances the stability and safety of the entire water tank structure.

[0006] In one embodiment, the outer shell includes an outer shell body and a water tank housing. The outer shell body is provided with a receiving cavity, the outer shell body being mounted on the support shell assembly, with a portion of the support shell assembly located within the receiving cavity. The water tank housing is mounted on the outer shell body, located within the receiving cavity, and one end of the water tank housing remote from the outer shell body is connected to the support shell assembly. By dividing the outer shell into two parts, the outer shell body and the water tank housing, and integrating the water tank housing with the outer shell body, the overall structure is optimized, the assembly process is simplified, and the integration is improved, making the ironing machine more compact. By mounting the outer shell body on the support shell assembly and stably connecting the water tank housing to the support shell assembly, the risk of the ironing machine tilting or becoming unstable due to the weight of the water tank is avoided, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the ironing machine during use.

[0007] In one embodiment, the support housing assembly is provided with a receiving slot, into which a portion of the outer housing body fits. This adaptability of the outer housing body to the receiving slot enhances the compatibility of the components, ensures structural stability and tightness, reduces shaking and displacement during use, and simplifies the installation process, making assembly more convenient and quick, reducing assembly time and labor intensity.

[0008] In one embodiment, the support housing assembly is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole, into which a portion of the water tank housing fits. This arrangement effectively improves the stability of the overall structure and provides a tighter connection between the support housing assembly and the water tank housing. Installation is completed simply by aligning the water tank housing portion with the snap-fit ​​hole and snapping it in, simplifying the installation process and improving efficiency.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support housing assembly is provided with a limiting hole, and a portion of the water tank housing is adapted to fit within the limiting hole. By adapting the portion of the water tank housing to the limiting hole, the stability of the overall structure can be further improved, and the water tank housing can be prevented from shaking or shifting during use.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support shell assembly is provided with a support column, which is located on a side of the support shell assembly away from the steam generator. The support column extends into the accommodating cavity and is adapted to a portion of the outer shell body. The design of the support column significantly enhances the structural stability between the support shell assembly and the outer shell body. The design of the support column not only provides support but also optimizes the internal structure of the device through a reasonable spatial layout, so that the device can more effectively utilize the internal space while maintaining structural strength, providing more installation space for other components.

[0011] In one embodiment, the water tank housing includes a water tank housing body, a clip, and a limiting post. The water tank housing body is disposed on the outer housing body. The clip and limiting post are respectively disposed on the water tank housing body and are both located on the side of the water tank housing body facing the support housing assembly. The clip and limiting post are respectively adapted to the support housing assembly. The design of the clip and limiting post allows the water tank housing body to be easily adapted and secured to the support housing assembly, simplifying the installation process while ensuring accurate positioning of the water tank housing body during installation, thereby avoiding structural instability caused by improper installation. The structural design of the clip and limiting post adapted to be installed with the support housing assembly simplifies the disassembly and maintenance of the ironing machine water tank structure, thereby improving equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water tank housing further includes a water outlet. The water tank housing body is provided with the water holding cavity and the water outlet. The water outlet is provided on the water tank housing body and is located at the water outlet. The water outlet is connected to the water outlet, and one end of the water outlet away from the water outlet extends into the flow channel. By providing the water outlet on the water tank housing body and directly connecting the water outlet to the water outlet, it helps to reduce additional pipes or connectors, thereby making the entire water tank structure more compact and simplifying the installation process. In addition, the design of the water outlet allows water to flow directly from the water outlet to the flow channel, reducing the water flow path, thereby improving water flow efficiency and accelerating the water supply during the ironing process.

[0013] In one embodiment, the outer shell body is provided with a support portion, the support portion being disposed on the water tank shell body and located within the accommodating cavity, and the support portion being adapted to mate with a portion of the support shell assembly. The adaptable mounting of the portion of the support shell assembly with the support portion enhances the structural stability between the support shell assembly and the outer shell body, simplifies the mounting method, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the support shell assembly and the outer shell body.

[0014] In one embodiment, it further includes an elastic member and a valve core, wherein the elastic member is arranged on the steam generator, the valve core is arranged on the support shell assembly and / or the steam generator, and the valve core passes through the flow channel, and the end of the elastic member away from the steam generator is arranged opposite to the 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 valve core, the valve core has a first position, and at this time the valve core blocks the flow channel; when the elastic member is in the second state, the elastic member contacts the valve core and drives the valve core to have a second position, and at this time the flow channel is connected. 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, the valve core is in the first position and blocks the flow channel. After the steam generator converts the remaining water into steam, its own temperature becomes high, causing the elastic member to deform due to the heat and enter the second state. At this point, the elastic member contacts the valve core and drives the valve core to the second position, allowing the flow channel to flow through and 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 blocking the flow channel and stopping the supply of water to the steam generator. By utilizing the different states of the elastic member to control the position of the valve core, the connection and closure of the flow channel can be flexibly adjusted. Automatic water supply control to the steam generator is achieved using a simple mechanical structure, eliminating 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.

[0015] In one embodiment, a water tank cover assembly is further included, and the water tank cover assembly includes a main cover body and a silicone cover, wherein the main cover body is arranged on the outer shell, and the main cover body is provided with a water inlet, and the silicone cover is arranged on the main cover body and is partially located at the water inlet. By providing the water inlet on the main cover body, the user can conveniently add water to the water tank without having to disassemble the entire water tank cover assembly, thereby simplifying the water adding process and improving the convenience of use. The silicone cover is partially located at the water inlet, and the elasticity and water resistance of the silicone material are utilized to effectively ensure the sealing of the water inlet, prevent water leakage in the water tank, and enhance the safety and reliability of the product. The use of the silicone cover can also reduce wear at the water inlet. Compared with traditional hard materials, silicone is softer and more wear-resistant, thereby extending the service life of the water tank cover assembly.

[0016] In one embodiment, a sealing ring is further included, which is sleeved on the main cover and located between the main cover and the outer shell. By providing the sealing ring between the main cover and the outer shell, water leakage can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the sealing performance of the ironing machine water tank structure.

[0017] In one embodiment, the steam generator includes a steam generator body and an ironing board. The ironing board is disposed on a side of the steam generator body away from the support housing assembly. The ironing board is provided with a plurality of steam output holes, which are evenly spaced apart on the ironing board. By evenly spacing the steam output holes on the ironing board, steam is evenly and efficiently delivered to the garments being ironed, improving ironing effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, a reasonable layout of the steam output holes and uniform steam output help reduce safety risks such as localized overheating or steam leakage that may occur during ironing, thereby ensuring user safety.

[0018] An ironing machine comprises: the ironing machine water tank structure described above, the ironing machine water tank structure being provided with an ironing portion; a handle housing assembly, the handle housing assembly being arranged on the ironing machine water tank structure and located on a side of the ironing machine water tank structure away from the ironing portion, the handle housing assembly being rotatable relative to the ironing machine water tank structure; a control assembly, the control assembly being arranged on the ironing machine water tank structure, the control assembly being electrically connected to the ironing machine water tank structure, and being used to control the start and stop of the ironing machine water tank structure; and a tray, the tray being used to place the ironing machine water tank structure, the ironing portion being arranged opposite the tray.

[0019] The second aspect of the present application discloses an ironing machine. By combining an optimized ironing water tank structure with an ironing unit, water can be continuously supplied to the ironing unit during the ironing process, thereby ensuring high efficiency and high-quality ironing results. The handle housing assembly can rotate relative to the ironing water tank structure, allowing the user to flexibly adjust the angle of the handle as needed during use, which is more ergonomic and improves convenience and comfort. The setting of the control assembly allows the user to easily control the start and stop of the ironing water tank structure, simplifying the operating process, while the electrical connection method also ensures safety of use. The design of the tray not only provides a stable placement platform for the ironing water tank structure, but also protects the ironing components during the ironing process, extending the service life of the equipment, and increasing the stability of the overall structure.

The steam generator 1 efficiently converts water into steam for ironing clothes, ensuring the ironing machine can quickly and stably provide the required steam during operation, thereby improving ironing efficiency. The flow passage 201 formed by the support housing assembly 2 and the steam generator 1, as well as the design of the water chamber 301 and water outlet 303 of the outer housing 3, further simplify the overall structure of the ironing machine water tank structure and maximize the water tank capacity. Furthermore, the water in the water chamber 301 can flow smoothly from the water outlet 303 through the flow passage 201, ultimately reaching the steam generator 1 for steam conversion. The rational design of the entire water flow path improves water flow efficiency and eliminates the need for a water pump. This further simplifies the internal structure of the ironing machine, miniaturizing the ironing machine while maximizing the water tank capacity. The outer shell 3 is used to cover and protect the supporting shell assembly 2 and the steam generator 1, and the tight fit between the various components enhances the stability and safety of the entire water tank structure.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the outer shell 3 includes an outer shell body 31 and a water tank housing 32. The outer shell body 31 defines a receiving cavity 304.

The water tank housing 32 is mounted on the outer shell body 31, located within the receiving cavity 304, and the end of the water tank housing 32 distal from the outer shell body 31 is connected to the support housing assembly 2. By dividing the outer shell 3 into the outer shell body 31 and the water tank housing 32, and integrating the water tank housing 32 with the outer shell body 31, the overall structure is optimized, the assembly process is simplified, and the integration is improved, making the ironing machine more compact. By mounting the outer shell body 31 on the support housing assembly 2 and stably connecting the water tank housing 32 to the support housing assembly 2, the risk of the ironing machine tilting or becoming unstable due to the weight of the water tank is avoided, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the ironing machine during use.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the support housing assembly 2 is provided with a receiving groove 202, and a portion of the outer shell body 31 is adapted to fit within the receiving groove 202.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the support housing assembly 2 is provided with a snap-fitting hole 203, and a portion of the water tank housing 32 is adapted to fit within the snap-fitting hole 203. By arranging for the portion of the water tank housing 32 to fit within the snap-fitting hole 203, the stability of the overall structure is effectively improved, and the connection between the support housing assembly 2 and the water tank housing 32 is made tighter. Installation is completed by simply aligning the portion of the water tank housing 32 with the snap-fitting hole 203 and snapping it in, simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the support housing assembly 2 is provided with a limiting hole 204, and a portion of the water tank housing 32 is adapted to fit within the limiting hole 204. By fitting the portion of the water tank housing 32 within the limiting hole 204, the stability of the overall structure can be further improved, preventing the water tank housing 32 from shaking or shifting during use.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the support shell assembly 2 is provided with a support column 21, the support column 21 is located on the side of the support shell assembly 2 away from the steam generator 1, the support column 21 extends into the accommodating cavity 304, and is partially adapted to the outer shell body 31. The design of the support column 21 significantly enhances the structural stability between the support shell assembly 2 and the outer shell body 31. The design of the support column 21 not only plays a supporting role, but also optimizes the internal structure of the device through a reasonable spatial layout, so that the device can more effectively utilize the internal space while maintaining structural strength, providing more installation space for other components.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the water tank housing 32 includes a water tank housing body 321, a buckle 322, and a limiting post 323. The water tank housing body 321 is mounted on the outer housing body 31. The buckle 322 and limiting post 323 are respectively mounted on the water tank housing body 321 and are both located on the side of the water tank housing body 321 facing the support housing assembly 2. The buckle 322 and limiting post 323 are respectively adapted to the support housing assembly 2.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the water tank housing 32 further includes a water outlet 324, the water tank housing body 321 is provided with a water holding chamber 301 and a water outlet 303, the water outlet 324 is provided on the water tank housing body 321 and is located at the water outlet 303, the water outlet 324 is communicated with the water outlet 303, and one end of the water outlet 324 away from the water outlet 303 extends into the flow channel 201. By arranging the water outlet 324 on the water tank housing body 321 and directly communicating with the water outlet 303, it helps to reduce additional pipes or connectors, thereby making the entire water tank structure more compact and simplifying the installation process. In addition, the design of the water outlet 324 allows water to flow directly from the water outlet 303 to the flow channel 201, reducing the water flow path, thereby improving water flow efficiency and accelerating the water supply during the ironing process.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the outer shell body 31 is provided with a support portion 311, which is arranged on the water tank shell body 321 and located in the accommodating cavity 304, and the support portion 311 is adapted to a portion of the support shell assembly 2. By adapting and installing the portion of the support shell assembly 2 and the support portion 311, the structural stability between the support shell assembly 2 and the outer shell body 31 is enhanced, the installation method is simplified, and the support shell assembly 2 and the outer shell body 31 are easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: it also includes an elastic member 5 and a valve core 6, the elastic member 5 is arranged on the steam generator 1, the valve core 6 is arranged on the support shell assembly 2 and / or the steam generator 1, and the valve core 6 extends through the flow channel 201, and the end of the elastic member 5 away from the steam generator 1 is arranged opposite to the 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 valve core 6, the valve core 6 has a first position, and the valve core 6 blocks the flow channel 201; when the elastic member 5 is in the second state, the elastic member 5 contacts the valve core 6 and drives the valve core 6 to the second position, and the flow channel 201 is connected. 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 which time the elastic member 5 does not contact the valve core 6, the valve core 6 is in the first position and blocks the flow channel 201. After the steam generator 1 converts the residual water into steam, its own temperature is relatively high, causing the elastic member 5 to be deformed by the heat and into 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 flow channel 201 is 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 flow channel 201, 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 flow channel 201 can be flexibly adjusted. A simple mechanical structure is used to achieve automatic water supply control to the steam generator 1, 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.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment is further defined as follows: it also includes a water tank cover assembly 4, which includes a main cover body 41 and a silicone cover 42. The main cover body 41 is arranged on the outer shell 3, and the main cover body 41 is provided with a water inlet 401. The silicone cover 42 is arranged on the main cover body 41 and is partially located at the water inlet 401. By providing the water inlet 401 on the main cover body 41, the user can conveniently add water to the water tank without having to disassemble the entire water tank cover assembly 4, which simplifies the water adding process and improves the convenience of use. The silicone cover 42 is partially located at the water inlet 401. By utilizing the elasticity and water resistance of the silicone material, it effectively ensures the sealing of the water inlet, prevents water leakage in the water tank, and enhances the safety and reliability of the product. The use of the silicone cover 42 can also reduce wear at the water inlet 401. Compared with traditional hard materials, silicone is softer and more wear-resistant, thereby extending the service life of the water tank cover assembly 4.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further comprises a sealing ring 7, which is mounted on the main cover 41 and located between the main cover 41 and the outer shell 3. The provision of the sealing ring 7 between the main cover 41 and the outer shell 3 effectively prevents water from leaking out, thereby improving the sealing performance of the ironing machine water tank structure.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-described embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the steam generator 1 includes a steam generator body 11 and an ironing board 12. The ironing board 12 is disposed on a side of the steam generator body 11 away from the support housing assembly 2.
