Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2023229052634, filed on October 27, 2023, entitled "Ironing Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an ironing device. Background Technology

[0003] With the improvement of living standards, ironing machines, as a household appliance that can iron clothes, have become more and more popular. Ironing machines usually have an ironing surface, which users can hold and make the ironing surface contact the clothes to be ironed.

[0004] In related technologies, ironing machines offer different ironing methods, such as electric ironing and steam ironing. Ironing machines typically have a heating element inside. During use, the heating element is preheated to a certain temperature by supplying electricity. The heating element can store a certain amount of heat energy, which can then be used to heat the ironing surface or evaporate water to produce high-temperature steam. During ironing, the operator needs to use one hand to stretch or straighten the garment being ironed, while using the other hand to operate the iron close to the garment to prevent wrinkles.

[0005] However, current ironing machines are laborious to operate and provide a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides an ironing device to solve the technical problems of current ironing machines being laborious to operate and having a poor user experience.

[0007] The ironing equipment provided in this application includes an ironing device and a fan assembly; the fan assembly is disposed on the ironing device; the ironing device has an air intake channel and an ironing surface, the fan assembly has an air inlet connected to the air intake channel, the air intake channel has an air inlet, and the fan assembly is configured to generate suction at the air inlet.

[0008] The air intake and the ironing surface are located on the same side of the ironing device; the ironing surface is provided with a steam outlet, the air intake is located at the edge of the ironing surface, and the air intake is arranged around the steam outlet.

[0009] The ironing device provided in this application enables the ironing device to absorb clothing by setting up a fan assembly, achieving one-handed ironing, making ironing operation convenient and labor-saving. Furthermore, through the layout design of the air inlet, the utilization rate of the suction power of the air inlet is improved when absorbing the clothing to be ironed. This ensures that the clothing can be absorbed while reducing the power of the fan assembly, thereby reducing the noise of the fan assembly and improving the user experience.

[0010] In some embodiments, there may be multiple air intakes, which are spaced apart along the edge of the ironing surface.

[0011] This setup improves the air intake efficiency of the air inlet and increases its suction power for ironing clothes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the ironing surface has multiple sides, and multiple air inlets are respectively disposed on different sides; and the multiple air inlets extend along their respective sides.

[0013] This design allows the clothes to be ironed to adhere smoothly to the ironing surface by adhering to different sides of the ironing surface.

[0014] In some embodiments, the width of the ironing surface gradually narrows along the ironing direction of the ironing device; the extension direction of the air intake is at an angle to the ironing direction of the ironing device.

[0015] This setting helps keep clothes flat and prevents them from wrinkling when ironing them in the direction of ironing.

[0016] In some embodiments, multiple air intakes may be distributed at the front and rear ends of the ironing surface along the ironing direction of the ironing device.

[0017] With this setup, when ironing clothes along the ironing direction, the suction from both the front and back vents can draw the clothes in, improving the smoothness of the ironing process.

[0018] In some embodiments, the ironing surface has empty areas on opposite sides along the ironing direction of the ironing device, and the air intake is located outside the empty areas.

[0019] This setup ensures concentrated suction from the air intake, allowing the garment to adhere closely to the ironing surface.

[0020] In some embodiments, the width of the air intake can be greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm.

[0021] This setting keeps the width of the air intake within a suitable range, preventing clothing from being sucked into the air intake.

[0022] In some embodiments, the air intake has adsorption surfaces on both sides, and the adsorption surfaces are planar; the width of the adsorption surfaces can be greater than or equal to 2 mm.

[0023] This design allows the suction generated by the air inlet to adhere the clothes to the suction surface, ensuring smooth movement of the ironing equipment as it moves along the surface of the clothes.

[0024] In some embodiments, the ironing surface is located on a first plane, and the air intake is located on a second plane. The first plane and the second plane have a height difference in a direction perpendicular to the ironing surface. The ironing surface may protrude from the air intake.

[0025] This design increases the pressure of the garment relative to the ironing surface when it is being absorbed.

[0026] In some embodiments, the fan assembly may include a fan housing and a fan, the fan housing being connected to the side of the ironing device away from the ironing surface; the fan housing having a ventilation cavity, the fan being disposed within the ventilation cavity; and the fan housing having an air outlet communicating with the inside and outside of the ventilation cavity.

[0027] This setting allows the airflow from the vent to stay away from the clothes being ironed.

[0028] In some embodiments, the ironing device may further include a device body, which may include a base and a handle, with a first end of the handle connected to the ironing device and a second end of the handle connected to the base.

[0029] This design makes it easy for users to hold the iron while ironing, enabling one-handed ironing.

[0030] The ironing equipment provided in this application includes an ironing device and a fan assembly. The fan assembly is mounted on the ironing device. The ironing device has an air intake channel and an ironing surface. The fan assembly has an air inlet that communicates with the air intake channel. The air intake channel has an air inlet. The fan assembly is configured to generate suction at the air inlet. The air inlet and the ironing surface are located on the same side of the ironing device. The ironing surface has a steam outlet. The air inlet is located at the edge of the ironing surface and is arranged around the steam outlet. The ironing surface can absorb clothing, enabling one-handed ironing. This makes ironing convenient and labor-saving. Furthermore, when absorbing clothing to be ironed, it can improve the utilization rate of the suction power of the air inlet, reduce the power of the fan assembly, thereby reducing the noise of the fan assembly and improving the user experience.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this application, but not all embodiments.

[0051] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0052] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., which indicate the direction or positional relationship, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to the internal connection 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.

[0054] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0055] Ironing machines, as a household appliance for ironing clothes, have become increasingly popular. Ironing machines typically have an ironing surface that users hold and place in contact with the garment. They offer different ironing methods, such as electric ironing and steam ironing. Ironing machines usually have an internal heating element. When in use, the heating element is preheated to a certain temperature by supplying electricity. The heating element can store a certain amount of heat energy, which is then used to heat the ironing surface or evaporate water to produce high-temperature steam, thus achieving steam ironing. However, current ironing machines require the operator to use one hand to pull or straighten the garment while using the other hand to operate the iron close to the garment to prevent wrinkles. This makes operation laborious and results in a poor user experience.

[0056] This application provides an ironing device that incorporates a suction function. During ironing, the suction nozzle faces the garment being ironed, and the suction generated by the fan adheres the garment to the surface of the ironing device, enabling one-handed ironing operation. This saves effort and can also remove hair and dust from the surface of the garment. The structure and arrangement of the suction nozzle can improve the utilization rate of the suction power, reducing the power of the fan while achieving the effect of adsorbing the garment, thereby reducing fan noise and improving the user experience.

[0057] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the embodiments of this application will be described first.

[0058] The ironing equipment provided in this application can be a household ironing machine, or it can be used in clothing manufacturing, storage, sales, or laundry shops. The ironing device provided in this application uses steam ironing to iron clothes, and the ironing modes that can be used include, but are not limited to, hanging ironing and flat ironing. For example, when hanging ironing, the ironing device can absorb the clothes, allowing for ironing with one hand while keeping the surface of the clothes flat; when flat ironing, an ironing board can be used to place the clothes, and the ironing device can press against the surface of the clothes to iron them. During the ironing process, it can absorb the hair on the surface of the clothes, achieving a cleaning effect.

[0059] Furthermore, the term "clothing" to be ironed by the ironing machine should be interpreted broadly, including but not limited to clothing, trousers, and other items for wearing, as well as fabrics such as curtains, sheets, and duvet covers. This application does not specifically limit this, and will be referred to as "clothing" below without further specific examples.

Figure 1 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 3A schematic diagram of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 4 This is a front view of the ironing equipment provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another air outlet distribution for the ironing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 Cross-sectional view of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 .

[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the ironing device provided in this application embodiment includes an ironing device 200 and a fan assembly 300. The fan assembly 300 is disposed on the ironing device 200. The ironing device 200 has the function of ironing clothes, and the ironing device 200 can generate suction through the fan assembly 300, which can adsorb the clothes to be ironed during the ironing process, so that the user can iron with one hand.

[0062] The ironing device allows users to hold it with one hand and perform ironing operations. As the ironing device 200 generates suction through the fan assembly 300, the clothes being ironed can remain attached to the ironing device 200 as it moves during the ironing process. This eliminates the need to straighten the clothes by hand and keeps them flat, preventing wrinkles.

[0063] In some embodiments, the ironing device 200 has an air intake channel 210 and an ironing surface 220, and the fan assembly 300 has an air inlet 312 communicating with the air intake channel 210. The air intake channel 210 has an air intake 211, and the fan assembly 300 is configured to generate suction at the air intake 211. During ironing, the air intake 211 faces the garment to be ironed. When the fan assembly 300 is started, negative pressure is used to allow airflow to enter the air intake channel 210 from the air intake 211, flow into the fan assembly 300 through the air intake 312, and then exit from the fan assembly 300, thereby generating suction at the air intake 211 due to negative pressure.

[0064] Understandably, the air intake 211 and the ironing surface 220 are located on the same side of the ironing device 200. The ironing surface 220 is provided with a steam outlet 221, and the air intake 211 is located at the edge of the ironing surface 220, and the air intake 211 is arranged around the steam outlet 221. When the air intake 211 generates suction, it can attract the clothes being ironed onto the ironing surface 220, and can make the clothes stick tightly to the ironing surface 220.

[0065] It should be noted that in the ironing device provided in this application embodiment, when the ironing device 200 adsorbs clothing through the suction of the air inlet 211, the user can hold the ironing device with one hand to perform ironing operations. Furthermore, as the ironing device 200 moves, the clothing being ironed remains attached to it, eliminating the need to straighten the clothing by hand and maintaining its flatness, preventing wrinkles and making ironing convenient and effortless. The layout design of the air inlet 211 surrounding the edge of the ironing surface 220 improves the utilization rate of the suction power of the air inlet 211 when adsorbing clothing, thereby ensuring that clothing can be adsorbed while reducing the power of the fan assembly 300, thus reducing the noise of the fan assembly 300 and improving the user experience.

[0066] Furthermore, during steam ironing, the suction generated by the air inlet 211 draws dust and hair from the surface of the clothing into the air intake channel 210, thus cleaning the clothes while ironing. The suction generated by the air inlet 211 can also remove moisture from the high-temperature steam, and the negative pressure airflow generated by the air inlet 211 can remove residual heat from the surface of the clothing after ironing. Therefore, while preventing the clothes from getting wet, the clothes can be cooled down and worn immediately after ironing.

[0067] The specific structure and arrangement of the air intake 211 will be described in detail below.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, there can be multiple air intakes 211, which are spaced apart along the edge of the ironing surface 220. This allows multiple air intakes 211 to generate suction simultaneously, improving the adhesion of the clothes to be ironed. Furthermore, multiple air intakes 211 can clean the clothes at different positions in the ironing direction, resulting in better clothes cleaning.

[0069] Understandably, multiple air intakes 211 can improve the air intake efficiency of the air intakes 211 and increase the suction force of the air intakes 211 on the clothes to be ironed. Among them, the air intake 211 located at the front end of the steam outlet 221 along the ironing direction of the ironing device 200 can suck in dust and hair from the surface of the clothes before the part of the clothes to be ironed comes into contact with the high-temperature steam. In this way, when the steam outlet 221 passes over the cleaned surface of the clothes, the steam sprayed from the steam outlet 221 has a better ironing effect. The air intake 211 located at the rear end of the steam outlet 221 along the ironing direction of the ironing device 200 can absorb moisture and heat after the surface of the clothes is ironed by the high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam outlet, so that the ironed clothes can be worn immediately.

[0070] For example, the air intake 211 can be elongated, extending along the contour edge of the ironing surface 220. The air intake 211 can also be circular, elliptical, or other polygonal. This application embodiment does not limit the specific shape and size of the air intake 211.

[0071] It should be noted that there can be multiple steam outlets 221 on the ironing surface 220, and these multiple steam outlets 221 can be arranged in an array on the ironing surface 220, including but not limited to linear arrays, square arrays, and circular arrays. Multiple air intakes 211 can be located on different sides of the steam outlets 221 along the ironing direction of the ironing device 200.

[0072] In some embodiments, the ironing surface 220 has multiple sides, and multiple air inlets 211 are respectively disposed on different sides, with each air inlet 211 extending along its corresponding side. The air inlets 211 may have an elongated structure at the edge of the ironing surface 220, thereby allowing the clothes to be ironed to be adsorbed on different sides of the ironing surface 220, so that the clothes to be ironed can be flatly attached to the entire ironing surface 220.

[0073] The layout of the air intake 211 will be illustrated below by using different structures of the ironing surface 220.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the width of the ironing surface 220 gradually narrows along the ironing direction of the ironing device, and the extension direction of the air intake 211 forms an angle with the ironing direction of the ironing device, so that when ironing clothes along the ironing direction, the clothes can be kept flat and wrinkles can be prevented.

[0075] For example, the ironing surface 220 can be triangular in shape, with corresponding air inlets 211 on each of its three sides, extending along the three sides of the ironing surface 220. During ironing, when clothes are being ironed, the ironing surface 220 can be an inverted triangle, allowing the user to hold the ironing device and iron the clothes from top to bottom. The suction generated by the three air inlets 211 keeps the clothes flat and ensures a smooth ironing process.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, multiple air inlets 211 can be distributed at both ends of the ironing surface 220 along the ironing direction of the ironing device. When ironing clothes along the ironing direction, the clothes can be adsorbed by the suction of the air inlets 211 at both ends, improving the smoothness of the ironing process.

[0077] For example, the ironing surface 220 can be square, and there can be two air inlets 211, which are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the ironing surface 220.

[0078] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned ironing surface 220 structure and air inlet 211 arrangement, the ironing surface 220 can be provided with empty areas 212 on both sides of the ironing direction of the ironing device, and the air inlet 211 is located outside the empty area 212, thereby ensuring the concentration of the suction force of the air inlet 211, so that the clothes can stick tightly to the ironing surface 220.

[0079] When the ironing surface 220 has a triangular structure, the empty area 212 is located at the left and right corners of the triangular ironing surface 220; when the ironing surface 220 has a square structure, the empty area 212 is located on the left and right sides of the ironing surface 220.

[0080] In some embodiments, the width of the air intake 211 can be greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm, so that the width of the air intake 211 can be kept within a suitable range, preventing clothes from being sucked into the air intake 211, thereby ensuring a good ironing effect.

[0081] For example, the specific width of the air intake 211 may include, but is not limited to, 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.5mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, etc. The specific width of the air intake 211 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0082] It should be noted that the width of the air intake 211 along its extension direction can be consistent or different in the extension direction of the air intake 211, as long as the width of the air intake 211 is controlled within the above range.

[0083] Figure 7 Cross-sectional view of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 .

[0084] Please refer to Figure 7 and combined Figure 6 In some embodiments, the air intake 211 has adsorption surfaces 242 on both sides, and the adsorption surfaces 242 are planar. When the air intake 211 generates suction and adsorbs clothing, the clothing can adhere to the adsorption surfaces 242 on both sides of the air intake 211 to ensure a strong adhesion between the adsorption surfaces 242 and the clothing being ironed. This can improve the utilization rate of the negative pressure generated by the fan 320, and reduce the power of the fan 320 while meeting the suction requirements, thereby reducing wind noise.

[0085] The width of the adsorption surface 242 can be greater than or equal to 2 mm to ensure smooth movement of the ironing device along the surface of the clothing. For example, the specific width of the adsorption surface 242 can include, but is not limited to, 2 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0086] In some embodiments, the ironing surface 220 is located on a first plane, and the air inlet 211 is located on a second plane. The first plane and the second plane have a height difference in a direction perpendicular to the ironing surface 220, so that the ironing surface 220 can protrude from the air inlet 211, thereby increasing the pressure of the clothes relative to the ironing surface 220 when the clothes are being absorbed.

[0087] For example, the height difference between the first plane and the second plane can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0088] Figure 8 An exploded view of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the fan assembly 300 may include a fan housing 310 and a fan 320. The fan housing 310 is connected to the side of the ironing device away from the ironing surface 220. The fan housing 310 has a ventilation cavity 311, and the fan 320 is disposed within the ventilation cavity 311. The fan housing 310 has an air outlet 313 communicating with both the inside and outside of the ventilation cavity 311, thereby allowing airflow from the air outlet 313 to be directed away from the ironed clothing. The airflow travels along... Figure 6 The arrows indicate the direction of flow.

[0090] The air inlet 312 faces the air intake channel 210, and the fan housing 310 is connected to the air intake channel 210 through the air inlet 312. This allows the ventilation cavity 311 to be positioned close to the air intake channel 210, ensuring smooth airflow. The air outlet 313 is located on the side wall of the fan housing 310. The airflow emitted from it will not be directed towards the clothing or the user holding the ironing device, preventing dust-laden airflow from contaminating the clothing and preventing burns from high-temperature airflow.

[0091] For example, a seal 340 may be provided between the inner edge of the air inlet 312 and the air inlet side of the fan 320. The seal 340 may be a rubber ring to improve the sealing performance of the air inlet 312 and prevent airflow leakage.

[0092] In some embodiments, there may be multiple air outlets 313, which may be arranged at intervals around the periphery of the ventilation cavity 311, so that the airflow in the ventilation cavity 311 can be discharged through multiple air outlets 313 at the same time, thereby improving the smoothness of airflow.

[0093] For example, the shape of the air outlet 313 can be square, round, oval or other regular shape, and the number of air outlets 313 can be two, three or more. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the number of air outlets 313.

[0094] It should be noted that when the fan 320 is installed in the ventilation cavity 311, the air outlet side of the fan 320 can be opposite to the air outlet 313, so that the airflow discharged from the air outlet side of the fan 320 can flow directly to the air outlet 313 to improve the airflow efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the ironing device may further include a device body 100, which may include a base 110 and a handle 120. A first end of the handle 120 is connected to the ironing device 200, and a second end of the handle 120 is connected to the base 110, so that the user can hold it during ironing operations to achieve one-handed ironing.

[0096] The ironing device 200 may include a heating element 230 and a housing 240. The housing 240 has a receiving cavity 241. The heating element 230 is located inside the receiving cavity 241. The fan housing 310 is connected to the housing 240. The suction channel 210 is arranged around the outer wall of the receiving cavity 241. In this way, the internal space of the housing 240 can be fully utilized. While satisfying the airflow of the suction channel 210, the volume of the housing 240 can be reduced, which facilitates product storage and reduces the production cost of the product.

[0097] It is understood that the heating element 230 may include a heating element 231 and a heat insulation element 233. The heat insulation element 233 is sleeved on the outside of the heating element 231 to prevent the high temperature of the heating element 231 from damaging the outer casing 240. The heating element 231 may be connected to a heating panel 232, which is used to form an ironing surface 220. A steam outlet 221 is provided on the heating panel 232.

[0098] For example, the heating panel 232 can be a cast aluminum panel, or a base plate made of other thermally conductive metals or alloys. The heating element 231 heats up after being powered on, which can heat the heating panel 232. In addition, the fan housing 310 can also be welded to the outer shell 240, and this embodiment of the application does not specifically limit this.

[0099] It should be noted that the ironing equipment may also include a water tank 700 and a water pump 600. The water tank 700 may be installed on the base 110, and the water pump 600 may be installed inside the base 110 or the handle 120. The water pump 600 is connected to the water tank 700 through a water pipe, and the water pump 600 can input the water in the water tank 700 into the heating element 230.

[0100] In some embodiments, an isolation member 330 may be provided inside the fan housing 310. The isolation member 330 can isolate the electrical components on the fan 320 from the ventilation cavity 311, preventing high-temperature steam drawn into the ventilation cavity 311 from damaging the electrical components. In addition, an end cover 350 may be provided at the end of the fan housing 310 away from the ventilation cavity 311. When the fan 320 is assembled, the end of the fan 320 away from the air inlet 312 can abut against the end cover 350, improving the installation stability and reliability of the fan 320 inside the fan housing 310.

[0101] The power supply and control circuit of the ironing equipment are explained below.

[0102] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the control logic of the ironing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application.
