Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ironing equipment, and in particular to a rotating structure, an ironing head and an ironing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] An ironing machine is a device for removing wrinkles on clothes and other textiles to make them smooth and flat. By rotating the handle and the ironing head shell, the user can operate the ironing machine more flexibly, improving the ironing efficiency.

[0003] In related technologies, the handle of the ironing machine is rotatably connected to the ironing head shell through a rotating joint. The ironing machine further includes a rotating latch assembly. A plurality of positioning holes are formed in the brush body. During use, one of the handle and the ironing head shell is rotated to a suitable angle relative to the other, and then the rotating latch assembly is pressed to connect the handle to any of the positioning holes through the rotating latch assembly.

[0004] However, in some application scenarios, the handle may become loose during ironing, resulting in poor stability. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The present application provides a rotating structure, an ironing head and an ironing machine to solve the problems in related technologies.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a rotating structure, including a main body and a rotating mechanism. The main body is used to be rotatably connected to a to-be-connected member. The rotating mechanism includes a connecting assembly and a rotating assembly. The connecting assembly is used to connect the rotating assembly and the to-be-connected member. The rotating assembly is located in the main body. The rotating assembly has at least two sliding members thereon. The inner wall of the main body has at least two limiting members. The sliding member is configured to move relative to the rotating assembly when one of the main body and the to-be-connected member is rotated relative to the other, to be connected to the limiting member to keep the current relative angle between the to-be-connected member and the main body, or to be disconnected from the limiting member.

[0007] In this way, the rotating assembly and the to-be-connected member are stably connected together through the connecting assembly. The rotating assembly is located in the main body. When the to-be-connected member is rotated relative to the main body, the rotating assembly can be rotated synchronously with the to-be-connected member. When the main body is rotated relative to the to-be-connected member, the rotating assembly can remain stationary with the to-be-connected member, to ensure the stability of the overall structure of the rotating structure and the to-be-connected member after assembly. By providing the rotating assembly with at least two sliding members and the inner wall of the main body with at least two limiting members, at least two connection positioning points are formed by the sliding members and the limiting members, which is conducive to improving the stability and uniformity of the force of the positioning of the main body and the to-be-connected member, and can reduce the loosening of the positioning caused by the wear of any positioning point.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided by the application, the rotating assembly comprises a support, at least two mounting grooves are arranged on the support, a sliding piece is correspondingly arranged in the mounting groove in a sliding manner, and the sliding piece slides relative to the mounting groove to partially extend into or enter the mounting groove to be clamped or disengaged from a limiting piece.

[0009] In this way, the sliding path of the sliding piece is provided by the mounting groove, so that the deviation of the sliding piece during movement can be avoided, and the movement process of the sliding piece is more stable; the relative angle adjustment of the main body and the to-be-connected piece is more simple and fast by clamping or disengaging the sliding piece from the limiting piece, which is beneficial to simplify the operation process and improve the user experience.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided by the application, the sliding piece is provided with a clamping protrusion, and the limiting piece is a clamping groove matched with the clamping protrusion.

[0011] In this way, the structure of the sliding piece and the limiting piece can be simplified by the matched design of the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove, which is beneficial to make the overall structure of the rotating structure more compact.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided by the application, the inner wall of the main body has at least four clamping ribs, and the clamping ribs are arranged in pairs to form a clamping groove.

[0013] In this way, the stability of the clamping groove can be ensured by the force and friction loss generated by the clamping and disengaging of the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove during rotation; in addition, the inner wall structure of the main body can be more compact by arranging the clamping ribs in pairs to form the clamping groove, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization rate inside the main body.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided by the application, at least one side wall of the clamping protrusion is provided with a first guide inclined surface; and the clamping groove is provided with at least one second guide inclined surface correspondingly sliding matched with the first guide inclined surface.

[0015] In this way, the clamping protrusion can more easily enter or exit the clamping groove by the design of the first guide inclined surface and the second guide inclined surface, and the resistance during clamping and disengaging can be reduced; at the same time, the impact force when the clamping protrusion enters the clamping groove can be dispersed, and the surface of the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove can be prevented from being damaged.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided by the application, the support has at least two avoiding holes for the sliding piece to enter and exit, and the avoiding holes are correspondingly communicated with the mounting grooves.

[0017] In this way, the sliding piece can more smoothly enter and exit the mounting groove by the arrangement of the avoiding hole, so that the sliding piece is not blocked during movement; at the same time, the direct friction between the sliding piece and the support can be reduced, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the support and the sliding piece.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided in the present application, the rotating assembly further comprises at least two elastic members, the elastic members are correspondingly arranged in the mounting groove, and the elastic members apply elastic force to the sliding member to drive the sliding member to slide relative to the mounting groove.

[0019] In this way, the elastic members provide the necessary power for the movement of the sliding member, ensuring that it can smoothly enter and exit the mounting groove, so that the user does not need to manually pull or push the sliding member, simplifying the operation and improving the work efficiency.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided in the present application, the rotating assembly further comprises a support frame, the support member is inserted on the support frame, the support frame covers the slot opening of the mounting groove, and the support frame is connected with the connecting assembly.

[0021] In this way, the support frame provides stable support for each component in the rotating assembly, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the rotating assembly as a whole, reducing the risk of failure caused by external forces, and avoiding the rotating assembly from deviating or shaking during use.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided in the present application, the connecting assembly comprises a first connecting member, the first connecting member has at least one first connecting portion, and the first connecting portion is used for detachably connecting with the to-be-connected member.

[0023] In this way, the first connecting member is detachably connected with the to-be-connected member through the first connecting portion, so that the connection between the connecting assembly and the to-be-connected member is more firm and reliable, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off of the two; in addition, the user can flexibly replace and adjust the to-be-connected member according to the use demand, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the rotating structure.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided in the present application, the connecting assembly further comprises a second connecting member, the second connecting member is located in the main body, the second connecting member is connected with the first connecting member, and the second connecting member is used for clamping the main body and the to-be-connected member between the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0025] In this way, the connection between the main body and the to-be-connected member can be realized through the first connecting member and the second connecting member, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and realizing the lightweight design of the rotating structure; by clamping the main body and the to-be-connected member between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, it is avoided that the relative positions of the two are deviated unnecessarily when one of the main body and the to-be-connected member rotates relative to the other, which is conducive to improving the structural stability.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the rotating structure provided in the present application, the number of the limiting members is at least four, each limiting member is uniformly and sequentially arranged around the inner wall of the main body, and the limiting members in each pair are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the main body.

[0027] In this way, one of the main body and the component to be connected can rotate 90°, 180°, 270° and 360° relative to the other, which can meet different user needs and improve the applicability of the rotating structure.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides an ironing head, including an ironing head housing and a rotating structure connected to the ironing head housing as described in any of the first aspects.

[0029] Thus, an ironing head equipped with any of the aforementioned rotating structures can improve the stability and uniformity of the positioning of the rotating structure and the ironing head housing, reduce positioning loosening caused by wear at any positioning point, and achieve higher ironing efficiency.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the ironing head provided in this application has an annular groove on the ironing head housing, and the main body of the rotating structure is inserted into the annular groove for rotatable connection with the ironing head housing.

[0031] Thus, by setting an annular groove on the ironing head housing, when the main body rotates relative to the ironing head housing, the groove wall can guide the main body to rotate more smoothly, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the main body rotation; when the ironing head housing rotates relative to the main body, the annular groove can ensure that part of the main body can be tightly embedded in the ironing head housing, thereby reducing shaking or loosening, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the connection.

[0032] Thirdly, this application provides an ironing machine, including an ironing machine body and an ironing head connected to the ironing machine body as described in any of the second aspects.

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0059] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used 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.

[0060] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0061] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0062] An iron is a device used to remove wrinkles from clothing and other textiles, making them smooth and flat. By setting a rotating connection between the iron's handle and the ironing head housing, users can operate the iron more flexibly and improve ironing efficiency.

[0063] In the related technology, the handle of the ironing machine is rotatably connected to the ironing head housing via a rotary joint. The ironing machine also includes a rotary pin assembly. By having several positioning holes on the brush body, and each positioning hole being located on the same pitch circle, during use, one of the handle and the ironing head housing is rotated relative to the other to a suitable angle, and then the rotary pin assembly is pressed to connect the handle to any of the positioning holes via the rotary pin assembly.

[0064] However, in some applications, such as after prolonged use of an ironing machine, the frequent connection between the rotating pin assembly and the positioning hole can cause wear on the rotating pin assembly. Also, if the user operates it improperly, the connection between the rotating pin assembly and any positioning hole is easily subjected to external force, resulting in stress concentration. This can affect the service life of the rotating pin assembly, and consequently affect the accuracy of the connection and positioning between the handle and the ironing head. As a result, the handle may become loose and unstable during ironing, thus affecting ironing efficiency.

[0065] In view of the above problems, this application provides a rotating structure, an ironing head, and an ironing machine. The rotating structure consists of a main body and a rotating mechanism. The main body is used to rotatably connect with a component to be connected, wherein the component to be connected can be the ironing head housing of the ironing machine, and the main body can be used as a handle. The rotating mechanism consists of a connecting component and a rotating component. Thus, the rotating component is relatively securely connected to the component to be connected by the connecting component, and the rotating component is located inside the main body. When the component to be connected rotates relative to the main body, the rotating component can rotate synchronously with the component to be connected, or when the main body rotates relative to the component to be connected, the rotating component can remain stationary with the component to be connected, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability of the rotating structure and the component to be connected after assembly.

[0066] By setting at least two sliding members on the rotating component and at least two limiting members on the inner wall of the main body, when one of the main body and the part to be connected rotates relative to the other, the relative positions of the sliding members and the corresponding limiting members will change. When one of the sliding members and the corresponding limiting members moves closer to the other, the sliding member moves relative to the rotating component to connect with the corresponding limiting member, thereby maintaining the current relative angle between the part to be connected and the main body. When one of the sliding member and the corresponding limiting member moves away from the other, the sliding member moves in the opposite direction to disengage from the limiting member. Thus, by setting at least two connection positioning points formed by the sliding members and the limiting members, the stability of the positioning of the main body and the part to be connected and the uniformity of the force are improved, and the positioning loosening caused by wear of any positioning point can be reduced.

[0067] The following describes in detail the specific implementation of the rotating structure provided in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotating structure 100 provided in this embodiment includes a main body 101 and a rotating mechanism 102. The main body 101 is used to rotatably connect with the component 200 to be connected. The rotating mechanism 102 includes a connecting component 120 and a rotating component 130. The connecting component 120 is used to connect the rotating component 130 and the component 200 to be connected. The rotating component 130 is located inside the main body 101 and has at least two sliding members 131. The inner wall of the main body 101 has at least two limiting members 1011. The sliding member 131 is configured to move relative to the rotating component 130 when one of the main body 101 and the component 200 to be connected rotates relative to the other, so as to connect with the limiting member 1011, thereby maintaining the current relative angle between the component 200 to be connected and the main body 101, or disconnecting from the limiting member 1011.

[0069] It should be noted that the rotating structure 100 of this application embodiment can be applied to an ironing machine, that is, the part to be connected 200 can be the ironing head housing 310; of course, the rotating structure 100 can also be applied to other working devices that require angle adjustment, such as selfie sticks, scanners, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0070] Specifically, the main body 101 is used to rotatably connect with the component to be connected 200, and the main body 101 can be used as a handle for the user to hold; the connecting component 120 is used to connect the rotating component 130 to the component to be connected 200 more securely, ensuring that when the component to be connected 200 rotates relative to the main body 101, the rotating component 130 can rotate synchronously with the component to be connected 200, or when the main body 101 rotates relative to the component to be connected 200, the rotating component 130 can remain stationary with the component to be connected 200.

[0071] By providing at least two sliding members 131 on the rotating assembly 130 and at least two limiting members 1011 on the inner wall of the main body 101, when one of the main body 101 and the part 200 to be connected rotates relative to the other, the relative positions of the sliding members 131 and the corresponding limiting members 1011 change. When one of the sliding members 131 and the corresponding limiting members 1011 moves closer to the other, the sliding member 131 moves relative to the rotating assembly 130 to connect with the limiting member 1011, thereby maintaining the current relative angle between the part 200 to be connected and the main body 101. When one of the sliding members 131 and the corresponding limiting members moves away from the other, the sliding member 131 moves in the opposite direction to disengage from the limiting member 1011. This embodiment of the application, by forming at least two connection positioning points with the sliding members 131 and the limiting members 1011, improves the stability and uniformity of the positioning of the main body 101 and the part 200 to be connected, and reduces positioning loosening caused by wear at any positioning point.

[0072] In this application embodiment, the specific method of rotatably connecting the main body 101 and the component to be connected 200 is not limited. For example, the main body 101 can be connected to the component to be connected 200 through a rotary joint, bearing or coupling made of elastic material, so that the main body 101 can rotate freely relative to the component to be connected 200.

[0073] Furthermore, this application embodiment does not limit the specific manner in which the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 are connected and disconnected. For example, the sliding member 131 can attract or repel the limiting member 1011 by electromagnetic force to connect or disconnect from the limiting member 1011. Alternatively, the sliding member 131 has threads and can be rotated into or out of the corresponding threaded hole in the limiting member 1011 to connect or disconnect from the limiting member 1011.

[0074] It is understood that the relative angle of rotation of the component to be connected 200 relative to the main body 101 can be satisfied by adjusting the number and distribution of the limiting component 1011 and the sliding component 131.

[0075] For example, the relative angle of rotation of the component to be connected 200 with respect to the main body 101 is 180°. In this embodiment of the application, there are two limiting members 1011 and two sliding members 131. The two limiting members 1011 are symmetrically arranged and opposite to each other along the axis of the main body 101, and the two sliding members 131 are symmetrically arranged and opposite to each other along the axis of the rotating assembly 130. The axis of the main body 101 coincides with the axis of the sliding member 131. By rotating one of the main body 101 and the component to be connected 200 with respect to the other by 180°, the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 are aligned one-to-one. In this way, the sliding member 131 moves relative to the rotating assembly 130 to connect with the limiting member 1011, thereby keeping the current relative position of the component to be connected 200 and the main body 101 unchanged.

[0076] In specific implementation, the main body 101 of this application embodiment can be configured as follows: Figure 4 The cylindrical shell shown is convenient to manufacture and easy for users to hold; the interior of the cylindrical shell has a storage cavity 1013, and the rotating component 130 is located in the storage cavity 1013.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the rotating component 130 includes a support 132 with at least two mounting slots 1321. A slider 131 is slidably disposed in the mounting slots 1321 and slides relative to the mounting slots 1321 to partially extend out of or enter the mounting slots 1321 to engage or disengage from the limiting member 1011.

[0078] Thus, by providing a mounting groove 1321 on the support member 132, the slider 131 is slidably positioned within the mounting groove 1321. The mounting groove 1321 provides a sliding path for the slider 131, allowing the slider 131 to slide relative to the mounting groove 1321, partially extending out of or into the mounting groove 1321, so as to engage or disengage with the limiting member 1011. This ensures a more stable movement of the slider 131 and prevents the slider 131 from shifting during movement, which would affect the efficiency of engaging or disengaging with the limiting member 1011.

[0079] By setting the slider 131 to engage or disengage from the limiter 1011, the adjustment of the relative angle between the main body 101 and the part to be connected 200 becomes simpler and faster, which helps to simplify the operation process and improve the user experience.

[0080] The engagement between the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 is achieved by the sliding member 131 partially extending out of the mounting groove 1321 and making close contact with the limiting member 1011. At this time, the friction between the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 is used to resist the external torque, so that the main body 101 and the part to be connected 200 can be kept relatively stably at the current relative angle.

[0081] Disengagement is achieved by fully retracting the slider 131 into the mounting groove 1321, thereby eliminating the contact between the slider 131 and the limiting member 1011. This allows one of the main body 101 and the member 200 to be connected to rotate relative to the other.

[0082] For example, in a specific implementation, an electric drive unit 411 can be provided in the mounting groove 1321 and connected to the slider 131, thereby driving the slider 131 to slide relative to the sliding groove through the electric drive unit 411, so as to partially extend out of or enter the mounting groove 1321.

[0083] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 131 is provided with a latching protrusion 1311, and the limiting member 1011 is a latching groove 110 that matches the latching protrusion 1311.

[0084] Thus, by matching the design of the protrusion 1311 and the slot 110, the structure of the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 can be simplified, which helps to make the overall structure of the rotating structure 100 more compact.

[0085] In a specific example, the inner wall of the main body 101 has at least four retaining ribs 1012, which are arranged in pairs to form a retaining groove 110.

[0086] Thus, by resisting the force and friction loss generated by the engagement and disengagement of the locking protrusion 1311 and the locking groove 110 during the rotation process, the stability of the locking groove 110 can be ensured. In addition, by setting the locking ribs 1012 in pairs to form the locking groove 110, the inner wall structure of the main body 101 can be made more compact, which is conducive to improving the space utilization rate inside the main body 101.

[0087] For example, the retaining rib 1012 can be made of stainless steel, hardened alloy steel or aluminum alloy, and the retaining rib 1012 can be set as a strip, with the extension direction of the retaining rib 1012 being consistent with the axial direction of the main body 101.

[0088] Furthermore, at least one sidewall of the protrusion 1311 is provided with a first guide slope 1312; the slot 110 is provided with at least one second guide slope 111 that slides in correspondence with the first guide slope 1312.

[0089] When the user rotates one of the main body 101 and the connecting part 200 to the desired angle relative to the other, the locking protrusion 1311 on the slider 131 moves relative to the mounting groove 1321 to partially protrude from the mounting groove 1321; at this time, the first guide slope 1312 and the second guide slope 111 begin to contact and guide each other, so that the locking protrusion 1311 smoothly enters the locking groove 110 to achieve the locking effect.

[0090] When the angle needs to be changed, by overcoming the friction between the protrusion 1311 and the groove 110, the second guide slope 111 of the groove 110 contacts and engages with the first guide slope 1312 to guide the protrusion 1311 to smoothly disengage from the groove 110, so that the sliding member 131 enters the mounting groove 1321, thereby allowing one of the main body 101 and the member to be connected 200 to continue to rotate relative to the other.

[0091] Thus, through the design of the first guide slope 1312 and the second guide slope 111, the protrusion 1311 can more easily enter or exit the slot 110, reducing the resistance when engaging and disengaging; at the same time, it can also disperse the impact force when the protrusion 1311 enters the slot 110, avoiding damage to the surface of the protrusion 1311 and the slot 110.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the support member 132 has at least two clearance holes 1322 for the sliding member 131 to enter and exit, and the clearance holes 1322 are connected to the mounting groove 1321.

[0093] Thus, by setting the clearance hole 1322, the slider 131 can move in and out of the mounting groove 1321 more smoothly, avoiding the slider 131 from being obstructed and causing jamming during movement; at the same time, it can reduce the direct friction between the slider 131 and the support 132, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the support 132 and the slider 131.

[0094] In practice, since the support member 132 is located inside the main body 101, the surface of the support member 132 opposite to the inner wall of the main body 101 is the circumferential side surface. Therefore, it can be understood that the clearance hole 1322 is opened on the circumferential side surface of the support member 132.

[0095] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 130 further includes at least two elastic members 133, which are correspondingly disposed in the mounting groove 1321 and apply elastic force to the sliding member 131 to drive the sliding member 131 to slide relative to the mounting groove 1321.

[0096] In this way, the elastic element 133 provides the necessary power for the movement of the sliding element 131, ensuring that it can smoothly enter and exit the mounting slot 1321, so that the user does not need to manually pull or push the sliding element 131, simplifying operation and improving work efficiency.

[0097] This application does not limit the specific type of the elastic element 133. For example, the elastic element 133 can be set as a compression spring. The compression spring is installed in the mounting groove 1321. One end of the compression spring is connected to the support member 132, and the other end is connected to the sliding member 131. When the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 are misaligned, the sliding member 131 is in the mounting groove 1321, and the compression spring is in a compressed state. When the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 are aligned, the spring is released to restore the original state and drive the sliding member 131 out of the mounting groove 1321, so that the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011 are engaged.

[0098] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 130 further includes a support frame 134, a support member 132 is inserted into the support frame 134, the support frame 134 covers the opening of the mounting groove 1321, and the support frame 134 is connected to the connecting assembly 120.

[0099] Thus, by providing stable support for each component in the rotating assembly 130 through the support frame 134, it is beneficial to improve the overall structural stability of the rotating assembly 130, reduce the risk of failure caused by external forces, and prevent the rotating assembly 130 from shifting or shaking during use.

[0100] For example, the support frame 134 includes an abutment portion 1341, a plug-in portion 1342, at least two second connecting portions 1343, and at least two third connecting portions 1344. The plug-in portion 1342, the second connecting portion 1343, and the third connecting portion 1344 are all connected to the abutment portion 1341 and are located on the same side of the abutment portion 1341. A first plug-in groove is provided on the second connecting portion 1343. A plug hole communicating with the first plug-in groove is provided on the abutment portion 1341. A second plug-in groove 1323 is provided on the support member 132. The connecting assembly 120 has at least two plug rods 1221.

[0101] When assembling the support frame 134 and the support member 132, the support frame 134 is passed through the second insertion groove 1323 via the insertion part 1342 to cover the opening of the mounting groove 1321; furthermore, multiple screws 135 can be provided, and the screws 135 are threaded through the through holes on the support member 132 and connected to the third connecting part 1344 to improve the connection reliability of the support frame 134 and the support member 132.

[0102] When assembling the rotating assembly 130 and the connecting assembly 120, the insertion rod 1221 on the connecting assembly 120 is passed through the insertion hole on the abutment part 1341 to be inserted into the first insertion slot on the second connecting part 1343 so that the abutment part 1341 abuts against the connecting assembly 120, thereby completing the connection between the support frame 134 and the connecting assembly 120.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some examples, the connection component 120 includes a first connector 121 having at least one first connection portion 1211 for detachable connection with the component 200 to be connected.

[0104] Thus, the first connector 121 is detachably connected to the component to be connected 200 through the first connecting part 1211, making the connection between the connecting component 120 and the component to be connected 200 more secure and reliable, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off; in addition, the user can flexibly replace and adjust the component to be connected 200 according to the usage requirements, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the rotating structure 100.

[0105] The specific type of the first connecting part 1211 is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, the first connecting part 1211 can be a snap fastener, that is, the first connecting part 121 is detachably connected to the part to be connected 200 by means of a snap fastener.

[0106] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 120 also includes a second connector 122, which is located within the body 101. The second connector 122 is connected to the first connector 121 and is used to clamp the body 101 and the component 200 to be connected between the first connector 121 and the second connector 122.

[0107] Thus, the connection between the main body 101 and the component to be connected 200 can be achieved through the first connector 121 and the second connector 122, which helps to simplify the structure and achieve a lightweight design of the rotating structure 100. By clamping the main body 101 and the component to be connected 200 between the first connector 121 and the second connector 122, unnecessary displacement of their relative positions can be avoided when one of the main body 101 and the component to be connected 200 rotates relative to the other, which helps to improve structural stability.

[0108] As previously stated, the connecting assembly 120 has at least two inserts 1221, wherein the inserts 1221 are connected to the side of the second connector 122 opposite to the first connector 121.

[0109] This application embodiment does not limit the connection method of the first connector 121 and the second connector 122. For example, as shown in the embodiment... Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the first connector 121 and the second connector 122 can be connected by bolts 136.

[0110] In some examples, the number of limiting members 1011 is at least four, and each limiting member 1011 is arranged sequentially and evenly at intervals around the inner wall of the main body 101, and the pairs of limiting members 1011 are arranged symmetrically along the axis of the main body 101.

[0111] For example, there are four limiting members 1011. The four limiting members 1011 are arranged in pairs on the inner wall of the main body 101. The main body 101 is a cylindrical body. The line connecting two opposing limiting members 1011 is perpendicular to the line connecting the other two opposing limiting members 1011.

[0112] In this way, one of the main body 101 and the part to be connected 200 can be rotated by four angles relative to the other: 90°, 180°, 270° and 360°, to meet different user needs and improve the applicability of the rotating structure 100.

[0113] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an ironing head 300, including an ironing head housing 310 and a rotating structure 100 connected to the ironing head housing 310 as in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0114] The overall structure and working principle of the rotating structure 100 are the same as those in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0115] The ironing head 300 provided in this application embodiment has a rotating structure 100. The rotating structure 100 has at least two sliding members 131 on a rotating component 130 and at least two limiting members 1011 on the inner wall of the main body 101. Thus, when one of the main body 101 and the ironing head housing 310 rotates relative to the other, the relative position of the sliding member 131 and the corresponding limiting member 1011 changes. When one of the sliding member 131 and the corresponding limiting member 1011 moves closer to the other, the sliding member 131 moves relative to the rotating component 130 to connect with the limiting member 1011, thereby maintaining the current relative angle between the ironing head housing 310 and the main body 101. When one of the sliding member 131 and the corresponding limiting member 1011 moves away from the other, the sliding member 131 moves in the opposite direction to disengage from the limiting member 1011. The embodiment of this application forms at least two connection and positioning points by means of the sliding member 131 and the limiting member 1011, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the positioning of the main body 101 and the ironing head housing 310 and the uniformity of the force. It can reduce the positioning loosening caused by wear of any positioning point and improve the ironing efficiency.

[0116] Continue to refer to Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the ironing head housing 310 has an annular groove 311, and the main body 101 of the rotating structure 100 is inserted into the annular groove 311 to be rotatably connected to the ironing head housing 310.

[0117] Thus, by providing an annular groove 311 on the ironing head housing 310, when the main body 101 rotates relative to the ironing head housing 310, the groove wall of the annular groove 311 can guide the main body 101 to rotate more smoothly, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the rotation of the main body 101; when the ironing head housing 310 rotates relative to the main body 101, the annular groove 311 can ensure that part of the main body 101 can be embedded more tightly into the ironing head housing 310, thereby reducing shaking or loosening, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the connection.

[0118] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an ironing machine 400, including an ironing machine body 410 and an ironing head 300 connected to the ironing machine body 410 as in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0119] The overall structure and working principle of the ironing head 300 are the same as those in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0120] In a specific implementation, the ironing machine 400 of this application embodiment can be used as a suction iron. Specifically, the ironing head housing 310 is provided with a steam port 312 and an air intake port 313, and the ironing head housing 310 has a receiving cavity 314, in which a boiler 315 is provided. The ironing machine body 410 includes a motor 411, which is disposed in the main body 101. The motor 411 is used to provide suction force to the air intake port 313 of the ironing head housing 310. The motor 411 is connected to the receiving cavity 314 of the ironing head housing 310, and the motor 411 can draw external air into the receiving cavity 314 through the air intake port 313.

[0121] For example, the main body 101 has an air outlet, which is connected to the receiving cavity 314 via the motor 4111. External air enters the receiving cavity 314 through the air intake 313 and is then sent out of the ironing machine 400 via the motor 4111 and the air outlet.

[0122] The iron body 410 also includes a water supply assembly 412, which is used to supply steam to the steam port 312 of the iron head housing 310 through the boiler 315.

[0123] For example, the water supply assembly 412 includes a water tank 4121, a water pump 4123, and a water supply pipeline 4124. The water supply pipeline 4124 connects the water tank 4121 and the boiler 315, and transports water from the water tank 4121 to the boiler 315 through the water supply pipeline 4124. The boiler 315 generates steam by heating the water. The water pump 4123 is installed on the water supply pipeline 4124 and is used to drive the water in the water tank 4121 to flow through the water supply pipeline 4124 to the boiler 315.

[0124] Furthermore, a water filling cap 4122 is provided on one side of the water tank 4121, which is used to close or open the water tank 4121. When the water tank 4121 is opened, water can be added to the water tank 4121.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
