The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a steam ironing device for automotive interior parts includes a conveyor belt 1, on which a plurality of clamps 2 for clamping workpieces 100 are provided. The workpieces 100 are non-planar structures. Ironing stations 10 and drying stations 20 are arranged sequentially on the conveyor belt 1 in the direction of conveying the workpieces 100. Ironing components 4 and drying components 5 connected to a frame 3 are respectively arranged above the ironing stations 10 and drying stations 20.

[0025] The ironing assembly 4 comprises a steam generator 41 connected with the rack 3, a steam spray plate 42 close to the surface of the conveying belt 1, which is a profiling surface same as the surface profile of the workpiece 100, and a steam spray plate driver 43 for driving the steam spray plate 42 to approach or move away from the conveying belt 1.

[0026] The drying assembly 5 is used for quickly drying the wet workpiece 100.

[0027] In this embodiment, the steam spray plate 42 is provided with the profiling structure, and the profiling surface of the steam spray plate 42 is provided with the steam spray holes 421. During ironing, the steam spray plate driver 43 drives the steam spray plate 42 to approach and adhere to the surface of the workpiece 100. The steam generator 41 outputs steam with a set temperature, humidity and pressure, so that the steam acts on each position of the surface of the workpiece 100 through the steam spray holes 421. During the process, the steam spray plate driver 43 drives the steam spray plate 42 to apply a set pressure to iron the workpiece 100. Combined with the conveying belt 1 and the clamp 2 on the conveying belt 1, the surface non-planar workpiece 100 can be completely adhered and automatically ironed, and the ironing effect is good and efficient.

[0028] In this embodiment, under the action of the conveying belt 1, when the clamp 2 located in the ironing station 10 moves to the drying station 20, the previous clamp 2 is located in the ironing station 10, and the ironing assembly 4 and the drying assembly 5 act on the workpiece 100. The conveying belt 1 stops conveying, the driver for driving the conveying belt 1 to move is a stepping motor, which ensures that the clamp 2 can be accurately moved to the ironing station 10 or the drying station 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drying assembly 5 can dry the wet workpiece 100 after ironing, so as to ensure the quality of the workpiece 100.

[0030] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The drying assembly 5 comprises a blower 51 connected with the rack 3, a blowing plate 52 close to the surface of the conveying belt 1, which is a profiling surface same as the surface profile of the workpiece 100, and a blowing plate driver 53 for driving the blowing plate 52 to approach or move away from the conveying belt 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air supply plate driver 53 is used to drive the air supply plate 52 to approach or move away from the conveying belt 1. By using the air supply plate 52 with a profiling structure, the profiling surface of the air supply plate 52 is covered with air outlet holes 521. During the drying process, the air supply plate driver 53 drives the air supply plate 52 to approach the surface of the workpiece 100. The air blower 51 outputs air at a set speed, and the air is quickly blown to each position on the surface of the workpiece 100 through the air outlet holes 521. Combined with the conveying belt 1 and the clamp 2 on the conveying belt 1, the surface of the non-planar workpiece 100 can be quickly and automatically dried, and the drying effect is good and efficient.

[0032] Further, as shown in Figure 1 order to avoid excessive steam in the ironing station 10 affecting the ironing effect, and to recover steam and reduce water consumption, the ironing station 10 further comprises a steam recovery assembly 6, which comprises an air suction hood 61, a negative pressure device 62 and a condenser 63.

[0033] The back of the conveying belt 1 on the ironing station 10 is provided with the air suction hood 61, the hood opening of the air suction hood 61 faces the conveying belt 1, the air outlet end is connected with the negative pressure device 62, and the air inlet end of the cooler is connected with the negative pressure device 62, and the water outlet is connected with the water storage tank of the steam generator 41.

[0034] During operation, under the action of the negative pressure device 62, the steam after acting on the workpiece 100 is recovered through the air suction hood 61, and then the steam is formed into water through the condenser 63 and flows back to the water storage tank of the evaporator.

[0035] In this embodiment, the negative pressure device 62 can be an air suction fan.

[0036] Further, as shown in Figure 1 order to ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the workpiece 100 before ironing and improve the quality of the workpiece 100, a dust removal station 30 is arranged on the side of the ironing station 10 away from the drying station 20, and a dust removal assembly 7 is arranged on the dust removal station 30.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 1 order to improve the dust removal effect of impurities such as dust on the surface of the workpiece 100, the dust removal assembly 7 comprises a cleaning brush 71 and an air gun 72 connected with the rack 3.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 1 order to improve the protection effect of the ironing station 10 and the drying station 20, and to prevent steam from entering the drying station 20 and affecting the drying effect, a protective cover 8 is arranged around the outside of the ironing station 10 and the drying station 20, and the protective cover 8 divides the ironing station 10 and the drying station 20 into two chambers.

[0039] Further, in order to be suitable for high temperature environment and improve air permeability, the conveying belt 1 is a metal mesh belt.

[0040] Further, in order to satisfy ironing of workpieces 100 of different specifications, the steam spray plate 42 is detachably connected to the driving end of the steam spray plate driver 43, and the air blowing plate 52 of the air blowing assembly 5 is detachably connected to the driving end of the air blowing plate driver 53, so that ironing of workpieces 100 of different specifications can be satisfied by replacing the steam spray plate 42 and the air blowing plate 52.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, other various corresponding changes and modifications can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all these changes and modifications shall belong to the protection scope of the patent claims of the present application.
