Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ironing devices, and more particularly to a sleeve shaping device for an automatic ironing machine. Background Technology
[0002] The sleeve shaping device of an automatic ironing machine is a device used to automatically iron clothes and sleeves to make them smoother. In the traditional ironing process, sleeves are a relatively difficult part to handle. Due to their long and irregular shape, it is difficult to achieve a smooth effect in all parts of the sleeve by simply relying on flat ironing. Therefore, a sleeve shaping device for an automatic ironing machine is needed.
[0003] Existing ironing devices mainly consist of an iron and an ironing board. Relying solely on the iron's operation on the ironing board makes it difficult to ensure that even and appropriate pressure and temperature are applied to various clothing materials and different parts. This can lead to localized deviations in the ironing results. In terms of ease of operation, users need to frequently adjust the angle, pressure, and direction of the iron. This not only requires users to have certain operating skills and experience, but also easily causes user fatigue during prolonged use, reducing ironing efficiency. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately shape and shape ideal areas such as collars and cuffs, failing to fully meet the increasingly demanding and diverse ironing needs of modern consumers.
[0004] Therefore, regarding the existing ironing devices that combine an iron and an ironing board, relying solely on the iron operating on the board makes it difficult to ensure uniform pressure and temperature control for various types of clothing, easily leading to deviations in ironing results. Frequent adjustments to angle, pressure, and direction are required during operation, and precise shaping of special areas such as collars and cuffs is also challenging. To address this, an automatic ironing machine with a sleeve shaping device can be designed. Through the combination of a steam generating chamber and a heating plate in the ironing assembly, the amount and temperature of steam generated can be precisely controlled. Combined with an auxiliary pressure plate and cylinder, this allows for precise shaping of special areas such as sleeves. When processing cuffs, the auxiliary pressure plate can apply appropriate pressure according to the cuff shape, working in conjunction with steam to create the ideal shape and lines for the cuff. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problems of existing ironing devices that combine irons and ironing boards, which rely solely on the iron operating on the board, it is difficult to ensure uniform pressure and temperature control for various types of clothing, easily leading to deviations in ironing results. During operation, it is necessary to frequently adjust the angle, pressure, and direction, and it is also difficult to accurately shape special areas such as collars and cuffs.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic ironing machine sleeve shaping device, including a housing, a water tank and an ironing component; a water tank is installed outside the housing to provide water for the ironing component, and an ironing component for ironing clothes is installed inside the housing. The ironing component includes an ironing board, a steam generating chamber is installed at the bottom of the ironing board, a heating plate is installed at the bottom of the steam generating chamber, and multiple sets of textured grooves are linearly opened on the surface of the ironing board. Multiple sets of air jet holes are opened from top to bottom inside the textured grooves, and air jet pipes are installed inside the air jet holes. The bottom ends of the air jet pipes are all connected to the steam generating chamber.
[0007] Preferably, the water tank serves as a water source storage component, providing the necessary water for the entire ironing process. When the device is started, the heating plate located at the bottom of the steam generating chamber begins to work, heating the steam generating chamber. As the water in the steam generating chamber is heated, it gradually vaporizes into steam. This steam enters the air jet holes of the ironing board through the connected air jet pipe. Because the ironing board surface has multiple sets of textured grooves, when the steam is ejected from the air jet holes, it will spread evenly along the textured grooves, increasing the contact area and contact time between the steam and the clothes, allowing the steam to better penetrate into the clothing fibers, especially in areas such as sleeves. The heat and moisture of the steam will help to smooth out the wrinkles in the clothes. On the other hand, when the clothes are placed on the ironing board, the textured grooves can also increase the friction between the ironing board and the clothes, preventing the clothes from sliding around during the ironing process, thus achieving efficient shaping and ironing of clothes, especially sleeves.
[0008] Preferably, a hinged plate is installed on the top of the box, and three sets of hinges are linearly installed between the hinged plate and the box. A mounting groove is opened at one end of the hinged plate near the box, and a mounting hole is opened through the center of the mounting groove.
[0009] As a preferred option, a handle is installed at the center of the top of the hinged panel, multiple sets of heat dissipation slots are opened on one side of the cabinet, and a power supply is installed on the side of the cabinet away from the heat dissipation slots.
[0010] Preferably, two sets of front mounting platforms are symmetrically installed on the outer edge of the enclosure near the front end, and two sets of side mounting platforms are symmetrically installed on both sides of the enclosure. A pressure sleeve is installed between the front mounting platform and the side mounting platform.
[0011] Preferably, the control console is installed below a set of front mounting platforms, and shock-absorbing pads are installed at the bottom of the enclosure.
[0012] Preferably, four sets of auxiliary sliding rods are installed at the four corners inside the mounting slot, and push rods are installed in the mounting holes. One end of the push rod is equipped with a cylinder located on the opening and closing plate, and the other end of the push rod is equipped with an auxiliary pressure plate. One end of each auxiliary sliding rod is fixed to the auxiliary pressure plate.
[0013] Preferably, a water injection pipe is connected to the top of the water tank near the corner, and a pipe plug is installed at the top of the water injection pipe. Multiple sets of water inlet pipes located inside the tank are installed between the water tank and the steam generating chamber.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, by combining a steam generating chamber and a heating plate, can precisely control the amount and temperature of steam generated. Steam is ejected from the evenly distributed air jets on the ironing plate, and combined with the texture grooves, the steam acts evenly on the clothes, thereby achieving relatively uniform pressure and temperature control for various types of clothing. In contrast, existing irons and ironing plates mainly rely on the bottom of the iron to contact the clothes for heat transfer and pressure, which makes it difficult to ensure that the bottom of the iron applies even pressure to the clothes. Especially when the surface of the clothes is uneven or wrinkled, local pressure may be too high or too low, and the temperature is also difficult to control precisely, which leads to deviations in ironing results. The steam system of this device can better adapt to changes in the shape and material of the clothes, and evenly transfer steam and pressure to the clothes, greatly improving the stability of ironing quality. At the same time, the auxiliary pressure plate, driven by the cylinder, can quickly fix the sleeves with the sleeve pressing belt, and can precisely shape special parts such as sleeves. When processing the cuffs, the auxiliary pressure plate can apply appropriate pressure according to the shape of the cuffs, and with the help of steam, the cuffs can be formed into the ideal shape and lines.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic ironing machine's sleeve shaping device, comprising a housing 1, a water tank 2, and an ironing assembly. The water tank 2, which provides water to the ironing assembly, is installed outside the housing 1. The ironing assembly for ironing clothes is installed inside the housing 1. The ironing assembly includes an ironing board 302, a steam generating chamber 305 at the bottom of the ironing board 302, and a heating plate 306 at the bottom of the steam generating chamber 305. Multiple sets of textured grooves 304 are linearly formed on the surface of the ironing board 302. Multiple sets of air jets 303 are formed from top to bottom inside each textured groove 304. Air jet pipes are installed inside each air jet pipe, and the bottom ends of each air jet pipe are connected to the steam generating chamber 305. The water tank 2 serves as a water source storage component, providing the necessary water for the entire ironing process. When the device is started, the heating plate 306 located at the bottom of the steam generating chamber 305 begins to operate. The steam generating chamber 305 is heated, and as the water in the steam generating chamber 305 is heated, it gradually vaporizes into steam. This steam enters the air jet hole 303 of the ironing board 302 through the connected air jet pipe. Since multiple sets of textured grooves 304 are linearly formed on the surface of the ironing board 302, when the steam is ejected from the air jet hole 303, it will spread evenly along the textured grooves 304, increasing the contact area and contact time between the steam and the clothes, so that the steam can better penetrate into the clothing fibers, especially in areas such as sleeves. The heat and moisture of the steam can smooth out the wrinkles of the clothes. On the other hand, when the clothes are placed on the ironing board 302, the textured grooves 304 can also increase the friction between the ironing board 302 and the clothes, preventing the clothes from sliding around during the ironing process, thus achieving efficient shaping and ironing of clothes, especially sleeves.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, a hinged plate 107 is installed at the top of the housing 1. Three sets of hinges 108 are linearly installed between the hinged plate 107 and the housing 1. A mounting groove 112 is provided at one end of the hinged plate 107 near the housing 1, and a mounting hole 110 is provided through the center of the mounting groove 112. The hinged plate 107, connected by the three sets of hinges 108, can flexibly rotate around the hinges 108 to open or close, greatly facilitating the user's operation and maintenance of the ironing components and other parts inside the housing 1. A mounting hole 110 is installed at the center of the top of the hinged plate 107. The equipment has a handle 109 and multiple heat dissipation slots 106 on one side of the housing 1. A power supply 105 is installed on the side of the housing 1 away from the heat dissipation slots 106. During the operation of the equipment, the heating of the steam generating chamber 305 and the operation of electrical components will generate a large amount of heat. The multiple heat dissipation slots 106 can promote the heat exchange between the inside of the housing 1 and the external environment, dissipate the heat in time, and prevent the heat from accumulating in the housing 1. This helps to maintain the temperature stability in the steam generating chamber 305 and avoid abnormal steam generation or damage to equipment parts due to overheating.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, two sets of front mounting platforms 101 are symmetrically installed on the outer edge of the box 1 near the front end, and two sets of side mounting platforms 102 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the box 1. A sleeve-pressing strap 103 is installed between the front mounting platform 101 and the side mounting platform 102. The sleeve-pressing strap 103 installed between the front mounting platform 101 and the side mounting platform 102 can firmly fix the sleeve to the ironing board 302 when ironing the sleeve. Because the sleeve is long and irregular in shape, it is very easy to shift or wrinkle during the ironing process due to external force. The presence of the sleeve-pressing strap 103 effectively overcomes this problem and ensures that the sleeve is firmly fixed to the ironing board 302. The sleeve remains in a stable position during steam ironing and pressure shaping, which greatly improves the accuracy and effect of ironing, allowing the sleeve to be ironed evenly and reducing ironing defects caused by position changes. The control console 104 is installed below a set of front mounting platforms 101 in the cabinet 1. The bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a shock-absorbing pad 111. The control console 104, located below the set of front mounting platforms 101, is designed in accordance with ergonomic principles, making it convenient for users to easily reach the control console 104 to perform various operations when ironing clothes, especially when dealing with sleeves and other parts.
[0024] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, four sets of auxiliary slide rods 307 are installed at the four corners inside the mounting groove 112, and push rods 308 are installed in the mounting holes 110. A cylinder 309 located on the opening and closing plate 107 is installed at one end of the push rod 308, and an auxiliary pressure plate 301 is installed at the other end of the push rod 308. One end of each auxiliary slide rod 307 is fixed to the auxiliary pressure plate 301. When ironing the sleeves, the cylinder 309 drives the push rod 308 to move, causing the auxiliary pressure plate 301 to apply pressure to the sleeves under the guidance of the auxiliary slide rods 307. The auxiliary slide rods 307 ensure the linearity and stability of the movement of the auxiliary pressure plate 301, allowing it to accurately act on specific parts of the sleeves. Precise pressure application can better smooth out sleeve wrinkles, especially for stubborn wrinkles or sleeves of thick clothing. It can work in conjunction with the steam ironing of the ironing board 302 to significantly improve the shaping effect and make the sleeves achieve a more ideal flat state. The top of the water tank 2 is connected to the water inlet pipe 201 near the corner. The top of the water inlet pipe 201 is equipped with a pipe plug 202. Multiple sets of water inlet pipes 203 located inside the box 1 are installed between the water tank 2 and the steam generating chamber 305. The water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the top of the water tank 2 near the corner. Its position design makes it convenient for users to add water. Whether using a kettle or other containers, it is relatively easy to align the water inlet pipe 201 to add water.
[0025] During operation, the user fills water into the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 201 at the top corner of the water tank 2. After completion, the user plugs the water inlet pipe 202 to prevent leakage and impurities from entering. The water in the water tank 2 flows into the steam generating chamber 305 located at the bottom of the ironing board 302 through multiple sets of water inlet pipes 203. Then, the heating plate 306 located at the bottom of the steam generating chamber 305 starts to work, heating the water in the steam generating chamber 305. The water is heated and gradually vaporizes into steam. The steam then enters the air jet holes 303 in the texture grooves 304 on the surface of the ironing board 302 through the air jet pipe connected to the steam generating chamber 305, and flows along the texture grooves 304. 4. The steam is evenly sprayed onto the sleeves placed on the ironing board 302. The textured groove 304 not only allows the steam to spread evenly, but also increases the friction between the steam and the sleeves to prevent them from slipping. At the same time, the cylinder 309 located on the opening and closing plate 107 at the top of the box 1 is activated. The cylinder 309 drives the push rod 308 to move. Since one end of the four sets of auxiliary sliding rods 307 at the four corners of the mounting groove 112 is fixed on the auxiliary pressure plate 301, the auxiliary pressure plate 301 moves steadily along the auxiliary sliding rods 307 towards the ironing board 302 under the action of the push rod 308, applying additional pressure to the sleeves. In combination with the action of the steam, the sleeve wrinkles are smoothed out better.
[0026] Through the above steps, the water tank 2, as a water source storage component, provides the water required for the entire ironing process. When the device is started, the heating plate 306 located at the bottom of the steam generating chamber 305 starts to work and heats the steam generating chamber 305. As the water in the steam generating chamber 305 is heated, it gradually vaporizes into steam. This steam enters the air jet hole 303 of the ironing board 302 through the connected air jet pipe. Since the ironing board 302 has multiple sets of textured grooves 304 linearly opened on its surface, when the steam is sprayed out from the air jet hole 303, it will spread evenly along the textured grooves 304, increasing the contact area and contact time between the steam and the clothes, so that the steam can better penetrate into the clothing fibers, especially in areas such as sleeves. The heat and moisture of the steam can be used to smooth out the wrinkles of the clothes. On the other hand, when the clothes are placed on the ironing board 302, the textured grooves 304 can also increase the friction between the ironing board 302 and the clothes, preventing the clothes from sliding around during the ironing process, thus achieving efficient shaping and ironing of clothes, especially sleeves.
