Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of steam ironing technology, and more particularly to a high-efficiency ironing device. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ironing devices are machines that use hot steam to continuously contact clothing, softening the fabric fibers. Through "pulling" and "pressing" motions, they make the clothes smooth and flat. The hot steam also has a cleaning and disinfecting effect, making them suitable for clothing stores, hotels, restaurants, and homes.

[0003] Most existing steam ironing devices simply put room temperature water directly into a steam generator. After being treated at high temperature by the steam generator, the liquid water is transformed into high-temperature steam. The steam is then used to restore the elasticity of the fabric fibers. However, the heat in the steam is also lost along with the steam, resulting in energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem of energy waste in existing steam ironing devices and to propose a more efficient ironing device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-efficiency ironing device includes a housing, a steam generator, a steam pipe, a steam iron, steam manifolds, and a steam switch valve. Multiple fixed boxes are fixed to the inner wall of the top of the housing. Multiple vents are opened on the inner wall of the housing within the fixed boxes. A water inlet pipe is fixed to the left side wall of the housing. A first manifold connector is connected to the right end of the water inlet pipe. Multiple flat metal tubes are connected to the right end of the first manifold connector. The right ends of the flat metal tubes pass through the multiple fixed boxes and are fixedly connected to them. A second manifold connector is connected to the right end of the flat metal tubes. A water outlet pipe is connected to the right end of the second manifold connector. The right end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator. A fixed pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the fixed boxes. An exhaust fan is installed on the rear side wall of the housing. A drain pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, a breathable gauze layer is fixedly provided on the upper outer wall of the shell.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of heat-absorbing plates are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the plurality of metal flat tubes, and the heat-absorbing plates are located inside the fixed box.

[0009] Preferably, the interior of the metal flat tube is provided with a plurality of flat plates, which are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the metal flat tube.

[0010] Preferably, a switch valve is fixedly provided on the wall of the fixed tube, and a rotating rod is fixedly provided at the end of the valve stem of the switch valve. The other end of the rotating rod passes through the inner wall of the housing and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing through a bearing.

[0011] Preferably, a handle is fixedly provided at one end of the rotating rod located outside the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom inner wall of the housing is cylindrical, and the cylindrical surface matches the upper end of the drain pipe.

[0013] Preferably, an external threaded pipe is fixedly provided on the bottom outer wall of the housing, and a water receiving bucket is threadedly connected to the external threaded pipe, with the lower end of the drain pipe extending into the interior of the external threaded pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this application provides a highly efficient ironing device with the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This high-efficiency ironing device achieves independent zoning of air vents by placing them above multiple fixed boxes. The valves can be easily opened and closed by rotating the handle, allowing for convenient control of the suction generated by the air vents in each independent zone. Combined with the steam switch valves on the steam pipes, this allows multiple people to iron independently without interference. As a result, workers can take turns to rest while the machine is running, improving the efficiency of the ironing work.

[0016] 2. This high-efficiency ironing device draws the high-temperature steam after ironing into a fixed box through the vent via a fan, where it exchanges heat with the metal flat tube. This allows some of the heat from the high-temperature steam to be transferred into the water flow, increasing the temperature of the water entering the steam generator and reducing the amount of heat required for the steam generator to convert water into high-temperature steam, thus achieving energy savings.

[0017] 3. In this efficient ironing device, after the high-temperature steam is pre-cooled and liquefied, it flows into the bottom of the housing from the fixed pipe at the bottom of the fixed box. After being collected by the cylindrical surface at the bottom of the housing, it flows into the water collection bucket through the drain pipe, thereby realizing convenient collection of cooling water and improving the practicality of the ironing equipment.

[0018] In summary, all parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This application can recover part of the heat from the steam after ironing, which not only saves energy but also improves ironing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 A high-efficiency ironing device includes a housing 1, a steam generator 2, a steam pipe 3, a steam iron 4, a steam distribution pipe 5, and a steam switch valve 6. Multiple fixing boxes 9 are fixed at intervals on the inner wall of the top of the housing 1, and multiple ventilation holes 7 are opened on the inner wall of the housing 1 inside the fixing boxes 9.

[0025] In addition, a fixed tube 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the fixed box 9, and a switch valve 19 is fixedly installed on the wall of the fixed tube 18. A rotating rod 20 is fixedly installed at the end of the valve stem of the switch valve 19. The other end of the rotating rod 20 passes through the inner wall of the housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 through a bearing. A rotating handle 21 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 20 located outside the housing 1. The connection between the fixed box 9 and the inside of the housing 1 can be conveniently controlled through the rotating handle 21, thereby realizing convenient control of the adsorption effect of multiple vents 7.

[0026] Reference Figure 2A water inlet pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the housing 1. The right end of the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to a first pipe branch 11. The right end of the first pipe branch 11 is connected to a plurality of metal flat pipes 12. The right end of the metal flat pipes 12 passes through a plurality of fixed boxes 9 and is fixedly connected to the fixed boxes 9. The right end of the metal flat pipes 12 is connected to a second pipe branch 14. The right end of the second pipe branch 14 is connected to a water outlet pipe 13. The right end of the water outlet pipe 13 is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 2.

[0027] Meanwhile, multiple heat-absorbing fins 15 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the multiple metal flat tubes 12. The multiple heat-absorbing fins 15 are evenly spaced along the extension direction of the metal flat tubes 12. The heat-absorbing fins 15 are located inside the fixed box 9, which increases the contact area between the steam and the metal flat tubes 12 and improves the heat release effect of the steam.

[0028] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The metal flat tube 12 has multiple flat plates 16 inside. The flat plates 16 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the metal flat tube 12, which increases the contact area between the water flow inside the metal flat tube 12 and the metal flat tube 12, and improves the heat absorption effect of the water flow.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 A blower 17 is provided on the rear side wall of the housing 1, and a drain pipe 22 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. The bottom inner wall of the housing 1 is cylindrical, and the cylindrical surface matches the upper end of the drain pipe 22 to facilitate the flow of cooling water after steam pre-cooling out of the drain pipe 22.

[0030] In addition, an external threaded tube 23 is fixedly provided on the bottom outer wall of the housing 1, and a water collection bucket 24 is threadedly connected to the external threaded tube 23. The lower end of the drain pipe 22 extends into the interior of the external threaded tube 23, which facilitates the collection and reuse of cooling water and improves the experimental nature of the ironing device. Furthermore, a breathable gauze layer 8 is fixedly provided on the upper outer wall of the housing 1, which effectively reduces the occurrence of clothes being sucked into the air vent 7.

[0031] In this application, during actual use, by placing the vents 7 above multiple fixed boxes 9, independent zones for the vents 7 are achieved. The switch valve 19 can be easily opened and closed by rotating the handle 21, allowing convenient control of the suction generated by each independent zone's vent 7. Combined with the steam switch valve 6 on the steam distribution pipe 5, this allows multiple people to iron independently without interference, enabling workers to take turns resting while the machine is running, thus improving ironing efficiency. Furthermore, the high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam iron 4 irons the clothes. The ironed high-temperature steam is then drawn into the fixed box 9 through the vents 7 by the exhaust fan 17, where it exchanges heat with the metal flat tube 12. This transfers some of the heat from the high-temperature steam into the water flow, increasing the temperature of the water entering the steam generator 2 and reducing the heat required for the steam generator 2 to convert water into high-temperature steam, thereby saving energy. After the high-temperature steam is pre-cooled and liquefied, it flows into the bottom of the housing 1 from the fixed pipe 18 at the lower end of the fixed box 9. After being collected by the cylindrical surface at the bottom of the housing 1, it flows into the water receiving bucket 24 through the drain pipe 22, thereby realizing convenient collection of cooling water and improving the practicality of the ironing equipment.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and application concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
