During the execution of a clothes care program by the clothes care device, the steam device sprays steam to the surface of the clothes 5 in the care cavity 4, and the fan drives the air in the care cavity 4 to circulate, so as to achieve the purposes of wrinkle removal, odor removal and drying of the clothes 5.

[0036] Continuing to refer to Figure 1The wrinkle-removing assembly in the embodiment includes a clamping device 1 and a straightening device 2, and the clamping device 1 is used to clamp the hanging end of the clothes 5. Specifically, in the case of performing care on the clothes 5, such as wrinkle removal, the clamping device 1 is clamped to the hanging end of the clothes 5; in the case of not needing to use the clamping device 1, such as the case of only drying without needing to remove wrinkles or the case of ending the care, the clamping device 1 can be removed and stored at the inner bottom of the care cavity 4 or other positions.

[0037] It should be noted that the hanging end of the clothes 5 refers to the end of the part naturally hanging down when the clothes 5 are hung on the clothes rod 42, which is usually the lower end part of the clothes 5.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 , the clamping device 1 includes a first clamping plate 11, a second clamping plate 12, a connecting shaft 13 and two elastic members 14, the two elastic members 14 are respectively located at the two ends of the clamping device 1, and the elastic member 14 is specifically a spring. The length of the first clamping plate 11 is the same as that of the second clamping plate 12, and the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are hingedly connected through the connecting shaft 13. The first clamping plate 11 or the second clamping plate 12 has a hole 15 matched with the connecting member 211 of the straightening device 2, the hole 15 is multiple and arranged at intervals, and in the embodiment, the multiple holes 15 are specifically formed on the second clamping plate 12. The hole 15 in the embodiment is a square hole 15, and it can be understood that the shape and number of the hole 15 are not limited, as long as it can be used to connect with the flexible member 212, and the utility model does not limit the shape and number of the hole 15.

[0039] Through the above arrangement, the clamping device 1 can be clamped on the clothes 5; in addition, the length of the clamping plate of the utility model embodiment is close to the width of the clothes 5, so the contact area of the clamping plate with the clothes 5 is large, which can avoid excessive local pressure when clamping, thereby reducing the pressure marks and damage to the clothes 5 when clamping, and further protecting the clothes 5.

[0040] Further, the inner side surface of the first clamping plate 11 and / or the inner side surface of the second clamping plate 12 is provided with a flexible gasket 16, wherein the inner side surface of the first clamping plate 11 and the inner side surface of the second clamping plate 12 refer to the oppositely arranged surfaces of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12. In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the inner side surface of the second side of the first clamping plate 11 and the inner side surface of the second side of the second clamping plate 12 are respectively provided with a flexible gasket 16, which can be specifically a silica gel gasket, a rubber gasket, a soft plastic gasket, etc. It can be understood that the flexible gasket 16 has good flexibility and can not cause hard compression to the clothes 5 when clamping the clothes 5, avoiding obvious pressure marks on the clamped end of the clothes 5 after the care is ended, affecting the flatness of the clothes 5.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the straightening device 2 comprises a plurality of straightening mechanisms 21 and a base 22, the straightening mechanisms 21 are used to be detachably connected with the clamping device 1, so that the straightening mechanisms 21 can straighten the clothes 5 through the clamping device 1, the plurality of straightening mechanisms 21 are arranged on the base 22 in a spaced manner, and the base 22 is movably arranged on the clothes care device. Specifically, the inner bottom surface of the care cavity 4 has a sliding groove 41 extending along the length direction of the clothes care device, and the base 22 is slidingly arranged on the sliding groove 41. Through the above arrangement, the straightening device 2 can move along the length direction of the clothes care device through the base 22, so that the straightening device 2 can adjust its position according to the specific position of the clothes 5 hung on the hanging rod 42, so as to adapt to the hanging position of the clothes 5, and further meet the wrinkle removal needs of the clothes 5 in different positions.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5 The upper top surface of the base 22 has a plurality of spaced recesses 221, and the straightening mechanisms 21 are arranged one by one in the recesses 221, so that the plurality of straightening mechanisms 21 are arranged on the base 22 in a spaced manner, and the number of the straightening mechanisms 21 corresponds to the number of the holes 15 of the clamping device 1.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6 The straightening mechanism 21 comprises a connecting piece 211, a flexible piece 212 and a winding mechanism 213, the connecting piece 211 is detachably connected with the hole 15 of the clamping device 1, the winding mechanism 213 is arranged in the recess 221 of the base 22, one end of the flexible piece 212 is connected with the connecting piece 211, and the other end is connected with the winding mechanism 213, so that the flexible piece 212 can be stretched and retracted through the winding mechanism 213, the connecting piece 211 is flexibly connected with the clothes care device through the flexible piece 212, and the flexible piece 212 can be a strip-shaped windable component such as a steel wire rope, an elastic rope or an elastic band. Through the above arrangement, when the wrinkle removal assembly is not needed to straighten the clothes 5, the flexible piece 212 can be wound on the winding mechanism 213, so as to reduce the occupied space of the flexible piece 212 and facilitate arrangement and storage.

[0044] Specifically, the inside of the winding mechanism 213 is provided with a spiral spring, and the outside end of the spiral spring is connected with the end of the flexible piece 212. It should be noted that in the initial state, the flexible piece 212 is wound on the winding mechanism 213, and the connecting piece 211 is located at a position close to the top surface of the base 22; at the same time, the spiral spring of the winding mechanism 213 is in a wound state. When the clothes 5 need to be de-wrinkled, the clamping device 1 is clamped to the hanging end of the clothes 5, and then the connecting piece 211 is pulled outward and detachably connected with the clamping device 1, at this time the flexible piece 212 is in a stretched state, so that the clothes 5 is in a straightened state; at the same time, the spiral spring of the winding mechanism 213 is in a stretched state. After the clothes 5 are de-wrinkled, the clamping device 1 is separated from the clothes 5, and the clamping device 1 is separated from the flexible piece 212, at this time the winding mechanism 213 drives the connecting piece 211 to retract towards the winding mechanism 213 under the elastic restoring force of the spiral spring, and finally the flexible piece 212 retracts and winds on the winding mechanism 213, and the connecting piece 211 is again located at a position close to the top surface of the base 22.

[0045] In the embodiment, the connecting piece 211 is a bolt, which can be connected with the hole 15 formed on the clamping device 1 in interference fit.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the connecting piece 211 is a hook, which can be hooked into the hole 15 formed on the clamping device 1.

[0047] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the clothes 5 need to be de-wrinkled, first, the clamping device 1 is clamped to the hanging end of the clothes 5, and then the connecting piece 211 is connected with the clamping device 1, at this time the flexible piece 212 is in a stretched state, so that the clothes 5 is in a straightened state. After the clothes 5 are de-wrinkled, the clamping device 1 is separated from the clothes 5, and the clamping device 1 is separated from the flexible piece 212, and the winding mechanism 213 retracts the flexible piece 212 and stores it in the base 22, so that the straightening device 2 returns to the initial state.

[0048] It should be noted that when the clamping device 1 is clamped to the hanging end of the clothes 5, the clamping device 1 and the connecting piece 211 can be in a connected state or a separated state, and both states do not affect the clamping of the clamping device 1 on the clothes 5.

[0049] The wrinkle removing assembly for the clothes care device is characterized in that: the clamping device 1 is clamped at the overhanging end of the clothes 5, and then the connecting piece 211 is connected with the clamping device 1 to stretch the clothes 5 by means of the flexible piece 212 in the stretching state, so that the clothes 5 is stretched, and the clothes 5 is prevented from being wrinkled.

[0050] The technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the principles of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
