Detailed Implementation

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 A steam circulation device for an automatic sweater ironing machine includes an ironing cabinet 1, an ironing structure 2 inside the ironing cabinet 1, the ironing structure 2 can iron sweaters inside the ironing cabinet 1, a driving structure 4 on one side of the ironing structure 2, the driving structure 4 drives the ironing structure 2 to move back and forth, and a circulation structure 6 on one side of the ironing cabinet 1, the circulation structure 6 can recycle and process water vapor.

[0030] The ironing structure 2 is provided to iron sweaters and other clothing inside the ironing cabinet 1, removing wrinkles from the clothing.

[0031] Preferably, by setting up a circulation structure 6, the water vapor inside the ironing cabinet 1 can be recycled, so that the water vapor can be reused, reducing water waste and lowering the cost of use.

[0032] Furthermore, the drying box 7 can dry the ironed sweaters, removing the moisture from them, and can make full use of the residual heat in the water vapor to dry the sweaters, reducing energy consumption.

[0033] Preferably, a fixed tube 101 is fixedly connected to the top side of the ironing cabinet 1, and a sliding tube 102 is slidably connected inside the fixed tube 101. The top wall of the sliding tube 102 is a closed structure, and the side wall of the sliding tube 102 is provided with multiple air holes.

[0034] When the ironing structure 2 irons the sweater, it generates a large amount of water vapor. If the water vapor accumulates and the exhaust speed is not fast enough, it will increase the air pressure inside the ironing cabinet 1, which may cause the ironing cabinet 1 to burst. However, the sliding tube 102 can slide inside the fixed tube 101 when the air pressure inside the ironing cabinet 1 increases, allowing the air holes blocked by the fixed tube 101 to leak out, thereby venting the gas inside the ironing cabinet 1 and preventing the ironing cabinet 1 from bursting due to excessive air pressure.

[0035] Preferably, the ironing structure 2 includes a steam generator 201, a plurality of exhaust pipes 202 are installed on the upper side of the steam generator 201, an exhaust hose 203 is fixed and connected to the upper side of the exhaust pipes 202, a symmetrical steam distribution hose 204 is fixed and connected to the upper side of the exhaust hose 203, and an ironing board 205 is installed on each of the symmetrical steam distribution hoses 204.

[0036] The steam generator 201 heats water to turn it into steam when it is working. The steam is discharged through the exhaust pipe 202, the exhaust hose 203 and the steam distribution hose 204. Then, when the steam comes into contact with the sweater through the ironing board 205, it is ironed to prevent the sweater from wrinkling.

[0037] Preferably, an installation bracket 301 is provided on one side of the ironing board 205, and a moving groove 3 is provided on the installation bracket 301, and the two ironing boards 205 are slidably connected inside the moving groove 3.

[0038] The distance between the two ironing boards 205 can be adjusted by the mounting bracket 301. Both ironing boards 205 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 3 by springs, so that the ironing boards 205 can fit the clothes to be ironed. When in use, the ironing boards 205 are clamped on both sides of the sweater, which is convenient for ironing the sweater. The distance between the two ironing boards 205 can be adjusted according to the size and thickness of the sweater, so that the distance between the two ironing boards 205 fits the sweater as closely as possible.

[0039] Preferably, the drive structure 4 includes multiple slides 402, which are formed inside the ironing cabinet 1. A reciprocating lead screw 403 is rotatably connected inside the slide 402. The reciprocating lead screw 403 is screwed to the mounting bracket 301. Multiple drive motors 401 are installed on the upper side of the ironing cabinet 1, and the drive motors 401 drive the reciprocating lead screw 403 to rotate.

[0040] When the drive motor 401 drives the reciprocating lead screw 403 to rotate, the mounting bracket 301 will move up and down on the reciprocating lead screw 403. The reciprocating mounting bracket 301 can iron the sweater back and forth through the two ironing plates 205.

[0041] Furthermore, the multiple drive motors 401 are independent drive units. This arrangement allows the two ironing plates 205 on each reciprocating screw 403 to operate independently, thereby determining the number of drive motors 401 to operate based on the number of clothes inside the ironing cabinet 1.

[0042] Preferably, a drying box 7 is provided on one side of the ironing cabinet 1, a dehumidifier 701 is installed on the upper side of the drying box 7, and multiple sterilization lamps 702 are installed inside the drying box 7.

[0043] The dehumidifier 701 can extract moisture from the inside of the drying chamber 7 (moisture generated during the drying of clothes), and the sterilization lamp 702 can kill bacteria generated on the clothes.

[0044] Preferably, the circulation structure 6 includes a recovery pipe 601, which extends through the ironing cabinet 1 into the drying chamber 7. Multiple heat-conducting pipes 603 are installed on the bottom side of the drying chamber 7. The heat-conducting pipes 603 are fixed to the recovery pipe 601 and are connected to the air collecting pipe 602. An air pump 604 is installed on one side of the drying chamber 7. A condenser 605 is installed on the bottom side of the air pump 604. The condenser 605 is fixed to the steam generator 201 and is connected to the condenser pipe 606.

[0045] When steam is generated inside the ironing cabinet 1, the air pump 604 starts to work, sucking up the steam inside the ironing cabinet 1. The steam will enter the condenser 605 after passing through the recovery pipe 601, the air collection pipe 602 and the heat conduction pipe 603. The condenser 605 can turn the high-temperature steam into condensate and return it to the steam generator 201 for recycling, thereby reducing the waste of water and steam resources.

[0046] Furthermore, the ironing cabinet 1 is equipped with a controller on its outside, which controls the operation of the condenser 605, the air pump 604, the dehumidifier 701, the drive motor 401, and the steam generator 201.

[0047] Secondly, a thermometer is installed inside the drying oven 7. The dehumidifier 701 will only start operating after the steam flows through the heat pipe 603 and raises the internal temperature of the drying oven 7. This setting is to avoid the air pump 604 and the dehumidifier 701 working at the same time, which would prevent the internal temperature of the drying oven 7 from rising.

[0048] Preferably, an exhaust fan is installed on the bottom side of the heat pipe 603, and the exhaust fan is connected to the drying oven 7.

[0049] The air pump 604 draws steam, which causes water vapor to pass through the heat pipe 603, thereby increasing the temperature of the heat pipe 603. Then, the exhaust fan blows hot air around the heat pipe 603 onto the clothes inside the drying oven 7, thus drying the clothes.

[0050] Preferably, a filter screen is provided at the port of the recovery pipe 601, and a valve is installed on the exhaust pipe 202.

[0051] The filter screen prevents water vapor from carrying lint from the clothes when it re-enters the recycling pipe 601, thus preventing stains or lint from clogging the air pump 604. The valve can open or close the exhaust pipe 202, and the opening or closing of the exhaust pipe 202 depends on the amount of clothes inside the ironing cabinet 1.

[0052] Preferably, both the ironing cabinet 1 and the drying box 7 have sliding grooves 5 on their inner top sides, and multiple clothes hangers 501 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 5.

[0053] Among them, the clothes hanger 501 can be used to hang clothes that need to be ironed or dried.

[0054] Working principle: First, place the clothes to be ironed inside the ironing cabinet 1 and drying chamber 7 using hangers 501. Then close the doors of the ironing cabinet 1 and drying chamber 7. Next, start the steam generator 201. The steam generator 201 heats water to turn it into steam. The steam is discharged through the exhaust pipe 202, exhaust hose 203, and steam distribution hose 204. The steam then comes into contact with the sweater through the ironing board 205 to iron it, preventing wrinkles. When the drive motor 401 rotates the reciprocating lead screw 403... The mounting bracket 301 will move up and down on the reciprocating screw 403. The reciprocating mounting bracket 301 can iron sweaters back and forth through the two ironing plates 205. When steam is generated inside the ironing cabinet 1, the air pump 604 starts to work, sucking up the steam inside the ironing cabinet 1. The steam will enter the condenser 605 after passing through the recovery pipe 601, the air collection pipe 602 and the heat conduction pipe 603. The condenser 605 can turn the high-temperature steam into condensate and return it to the steam generator 201 for recycling, thereby reducing the waste of water and steam resources.
