[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an environmentally friendly and energy-saving steam boiler for garment ironing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This environmentally friendly and energy-saving steam boiler for garment ironing works by automatically adding water. When the inner tank is full, its weight causes the connecting plate to descend, pressing against a contact switch. At this point, the controller closes the first solenoid valve, stopping the water supply. As the water level decreases, the weight of the inner tank decreases, causing the spring to rebound and lift the connecting plate, separating it from the contact switch. The controller then reopens the first solenoid valve, allowing water to flow back into the inner tank through the inlet pipe, thus achieving automatic water addition. This simple and convenient water-adding mechanism eliminates the need for frequent manual refilling, reducing workload. The entire operation is controlled by the controller, which heats the water in the inner tank to generate steam. Steam is added only when needed, eliminating resource waste and promoting environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An environmentally friendly and energy-saving steam boiler for garment ironing includes a housing 1. A controller 2 is located on one side of the top of the housing 1, and a steam outlet pipe 3 is located on the other side of the top of the housing 1. A water inlet pipe 4 is located on the side of the top of the housing 1, and a first solenoid valve 5 is installed on the water inlet pipe 4. An exhaust pipe 6 is located on the side of the housing 1, and a second solenoid valve 7 is installed on the exhaust pipe 6. An inner liner 8 is located inside the housing 1. One end of the exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the inner liner 8, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 6 is made of flexible metal hose. A heating layer 9 is located outside the inner liner 8, and an electric heating wire is installed inside the heating layer 9. A mounting base 10 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 1, and a connecting plate 11 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 8. 11 is located inside the mounting base 10. Fixing rods 12 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 10. Springs 13 are provided on the fixing rods 12. The connecting plate 11 is slidably mounted on the fixing rods 12. The top of the springs 13 abuts against the bottom of the connecting plate 11. A contact switch 14 is provided at the middle of the bottom end of the mounting base 10. A first metal hose 16 and a second metal hose 17 are respectively fitted onto the top of the inner liner 8. One end of the first metal hose 16 is connected to the air outlet pipe 3. An air inlet hood 19 is provided at the top of the inner liner 8. The other end of the first metal hose 16 is connected to the air inlet hood 19. One end of the second metal hose 17 is connected to the water inlet pipe 4. A temperature sensor 15 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the inner liner 8. A pressure sensor 18 is provided on one side of the top end of the inner liner 8. The temperature sensor 15, pressure sensor 18, first solenoid valve 5, second solenoid valve 7, contact switch 14, and heating layer 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 2. The controller 2 is a microprogrammed controller 2.

[0024] In actual use, the above structure first requires filling the inner liner 8 with water. The controller 2 then opens the first solenoid valve 5, allowing water to enter the inner liner 8 through the inlet pipe 4 and the second metal hose 17. When the inner liner 8 is full, its weight causes the connecting plate 11 to descend, and the bottom of the connecting plate 11 presses against the contact switch 14. The contact switch 14 transmits a signal to the controller 2, which closes the first solenoid valve 5, stopping the water filling. Then, the heating layer 9 is activated, heating the inner liner 8 through heating wires. As the temperature of the inner liner 8 rises, the water inside gradually boils and evaporates, generating steam. The steam enters the outlet pipe 3 through the air inlet hood 19 and the first metal hose 16, then supplies steam to the clothing. When the ironing equipment is in use, as the water in the inner tank 8 gradually decreases, the weight of the inner tank 8 becomes lighter. At this time, the spring 13 rebounds and drives the connecting plate 11 to rise. The connecting plate 11 separates from the contact switch 14, and the controller 2 opens the first solenoid valve 5 again. Water then enters the inner tank 8 through the water inlet pipe 4, realizing the automatic water filling operation. The temperature sensor 15 and the pressure sensor 18 can detect the situation in the inner tank 8 in real time. When the pressure in the inner tank 8 is too high, the controller 2 opens the second solenoid valve 7 and releases pressure through the exhaust pipe 6 to ensure the stability of the inner tank 8. The setting of the first metal hose 16, the second metal hose 17 and the exhaust pipe 6 made of metal hose ensures that the inner tank 8 is not affected when it moves up and down in the housing 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple fixing rods 12 and springs 13 are provided and evenly arranged inside the mounting base 10, which improves the stability of the connecting plate 11 when it moves.

[0026] In this embodiment, an anti-slip block 20 is provided at the bottom of the box 1. The anti-slip block 20 is made of rubber, which improves the anti-slip effect after the box 1 is placed.

[0027] In this embodiment, a heat insulation layer 21 is provided on the inner wall of the box 1, which improves the heat insulation effect of the box 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, a corrosion-resistant layer is provided on the outer surface of the box 1, which improves the durability of the box 1.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
