Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron table body technology, and in particular to an iron table body that is easy to disassemble with a water tank. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional ironing table bodies and water tanks are mostly connected by snap-fit or knob types, which have the following disadvantages: 1. Inconvenient disassembly: Snap-fit connections require forceful pressing or prying, which can easily damage the snaps; knob connections require multiple rotations, making operation cumbersome. 2. Poor sealing: Traditional connection methods are prone to gaps, leading to water tank or steam leakage. 3. Poor aesthetics: Exposed snaps or knobs affect the overall appearance of the ironing table body.
[0003] Currently, there are several improved methods for connecting the iron table body and water tank on the market. For example, patent CN201920123456.7 discloses a magnetic water tank connection structure, which uses magnets to connect the water tank to the table body. While this structure simplifies the disassembly process, the magnetic force is limited, and the water tank can easily detach due to external force. Patent CN202020123456.7 discloses a push-button water tank connection structure, which allows the water tank to be disassembled by pressing a button to release the latch. Although this structure is easy to operate, the button's placement is unreasonable, making it easy to accidentally activate and cause the water tank to detach. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an ironing table body that facilitates the disassembly of the water tank, and has the advantages of convenient water tank disassembly, simple structure, easy operation, good sealing, and beautiful appearance.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an ironing table body with an easily detachable water tank, comprising a table body and a water tank, wherein the water tank has a cavity, and the table body also has a receiving cavity for inserting the water tank, wherein a first stop protrudes from the receiving cavity and is located on the upper part of the water tank, and a driving mechanism is provided in the cavity, the driving mechanism including a second stop movably disposed relative to the first stop, and an operating rod for actuating the second stop, wherein at least part of the operating rod is exposed on the surface of the water tank. The first stop and the second stop are provided with oppositely arranged guide slopes, and both the first stop and the second stop are located in the insertion trajectory of the water tank. The second stop has an unlocked state in which it is actuated by the first stop or the operating rod and retracted into the cavity; and a locked state in which it extends out of the cavity and abuts against the first stop. The lower part of the receiving cavity is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the bottom of the water tank is provided with a positioning groove opposite to the positioning protrusion. When the water tank enters the receiving cavity, the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove engage and fix each other.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second stop members at the top of the water tank are provided with opposing guide slopes. The first and second stop members are preferably wedge-shaped blocks. The first stop member prevents the second stop member from dislodging, thus locking the upper part of the water tank. The bottom of the water tank is provided with a positioning groove that can engage with the positioning protrusion of the receiving cavity, thus locking the lower part of the water tank. Therefore, when the water tank and the receiving cavity are in a combined state, the upper and lower parts of the water tank can achieve double locking, ensuring stability during use. The water tank remains stationary and does not wobble, maintaining a tight seal between the upper and lower contact surfaces of the tank and the platform. When the water tank needs to be removed from the containment cavity, it is secured by a second stop on the tank engaging with a first stop within the containment cavity. Manually controlling the operating lever exposed on the tank surface moves the second stop away from the first stop, allowing the tank to be removed smoothly. The structure is simple and easy to operate. The exposed part of the operating lever forms the outline of the water tank without protruding beyond it, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the driving mechanism includes an elastic member abutting against the second stop member, the elastic member applying a force to the second stop member toward the first stop member, one end of the operating rod being inserted into the cavity and actuating the second stop member away from the first stop member, pressure rods extending from both sides of the second stop member, the operating rod extending upward about the hinge position to form a pressure head, and the pressure head abutting against the pressure rod.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic element abuts against the second stop, and the pressure head on the operating rod can compress the elastic element by pressing the pressure rods on both sides of the second stop, thereby causing the second stop to move down and away from the first stop. The water tank can only be fixed by the stop cooperation between the second stop on the water tank and the first stop in the accommodating cavity. Therefore, simply pushing up the operating rod on the surface of the water tank will allow the pressure head on the operating rod to complete the above-mentioned pressing function, so that the water tank can be successfully removed.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the top of the chamber is provided with a cover plate for shielding the chamber, and the cover plate is provided with an opening that allows the second stop member to extend out.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the chamber can be covered by a cover plate on the top of the chamber, so that the drive mechanism is not completely exposed on the surface of the water tank. This is both aesthetically pleasing and protects the drive mechanism parts from damage. The drive mechanism is integrated on the water tank, which facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the positioning protrusion is provided with a plurality of damping protrusions corresponding to the lower part of the water tank, the damping protrusions are located in the insertion trajectory of the water tank, and the damping protrusions are interference-fitted with the positioning groove.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting several damping protrusions at the bottom of the water tank, the damping protrusions are interference-fitted with the positioning grooves, allowing the positioning grooves at the bottom of the water tank to engage more tightly with the positioning protrusions of the receiving cavity, thereby enhancing the stability of the water tank and improving the fixing effect.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the one-way valve assembly includes a spring and a stop bead, the spring pushes the stop bead against the valve port of the one-way valve assembly, and the water inlet pipe is arranged opposite to the valve port.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the one-way valve assembly installed on the water tank prevents water from overflowing from the water tank when it is inserted and removed. At the same time, the water inlet assembly on the receiving cavity can cooperate with the one-way valve assembly on the water tank to automatically ensure the smooth flow of water when the water tank is inserted, without the need for manual operation.
[0015] By setting up a damping protrusion, guiding the first stop and the second stop, and inserting the water inlet pipe and the one-way valve assembly, the stability of the connection between the water tank and the receiving cavity is ensured.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the one-way valve assembly includes a spring and a stop bead, wherein the spring pushes the stop bead against the valve port of the one-way valve.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the setting of a one-way valve in the form of a spring and a baffle, when the water tank is placed in, the water inlet pipe enters the one-way valve and pushes open the baffle to make the water passage unobstructed. When the water tank is removed, the water inlet pipe leaves the one-way valve, and the baffle, under the action of the spring's rebound force, presses against the valve port of the one-way valve to close the water passage, thus completing the automatic switching of the water supply channel.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the first stop member and the second stop member are connected by magnetic force.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first stop and the second stop are connected by magnetic force. The magnitude of the magnetic force is set so that the second stop cannot be moved away from the stopping range of the first stop by the drive mechanism, so that the first stop and the second stop always maintain the function of stopping each other, and the water tank is fixed in the accommodating cavity.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the water inlet assembly includes a flow sensor, which is electrically connected to a controller inside the platform body. The first stop is an electromagnet, and the second stop is a magnetic material. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller receives the water flow signal from the flow sensor to control the electromagnet to be energized and to keep the first stop and the second stop attracting each other.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the flow sensor detects changes in flow rate and determines that the water tank is in working condition. It then transmits a signal to the controller of the platform body to energize the first stop component. The positive and negative poles of the first stop component are preset so that after the first stop component is energized, it is in a state of mutual attraction with the second stop component. This ensures that the water tank cannot be manually removed when it is in working condition. This is to prevent temperature runaway, because if the water tank is removed, the heating element may continue to work, causing the bottom plate temperature to rise sharply, which may cause clothes or iron panels to burn, or even cause a fire if it comes into contact with flammable materials such as tablecloths. Secondly, it is to prevent equipment damage, because when there is a lack of water, the heating element or thermostat may be damaged due to dry burning.
[0022] When the flow sensor does not detect a change in flow direction and determines that the water tank is in a non-working state, it sends a signal to the controller of the platform body to de-energize the first stop. As a result, the magnetic field coupling function between the first and second stop components is temporarily disabled, and the driving function of the drive mechanism is restored. Manual operation of the drive mechanism can cause the second stop component to disengage from the stopping range of the first stop component, allowing the water tank to be removed normally. This ensures that the above-mentioned hidden dangers are eliminated when the water tank is in working state, and that the normal removal and water filling of the water tank is not affected when it is not in working state.
[0023] In addition, when the water in the tank is used up, the flow sensor will not detect the change in flow. Even if the iron is in operation, the flow sensor will determine that it is not in operation and complete the process of cutting off the power to the first stop, so that the water tank can be removed normally and there will be no problem of the water tank not being able to be removed even when there is no water in it.
[0024] A further feature of this invention is that the water tank is provided with a water inlet groove, a hollow frame is embedded in the water inlet groove, an extraction part for hand gripping is provided on the top of the hollow frame, and a plurality of through holes are provided through the top and side walls of the hollow frame, through which water in the water tank enters the hollow frame.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the hollow frame is equivalent to creating an open and independent space inside the water tank. The extraction part at the top of the hollow frame can be grabbed to open the hollow frame, and anti-calcification materials such as polyphosphates and organic acids can be put in. The through holes on the hollow frame allow water to flow through the hollow frame and come into contact with the anti-calcification materials in the hollow frame. This can prevent scale from forming and thus prevent the water inlet channel from being blocked.
[0026] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. The water tank employs a design where the first and second stop pieces at the top are equipped with opposing guide slopes. The first stop prevents the second stop piece from dislodging, thus locking the upper part of the water tank. The bottom of the water tank has a positioning groove that engages with the positioning protrusion of the receiving cavity, locking the lower part of the water tank. Therefore, when the water tank is in contact with the receiving cavity, the upper and lower parts of the water tank are doubly locked, ensuring a stable state during use and preventing vertical shaking. This maintains the seal between the water tank and the upper and lower contact surfaces of the platform body. When the water tank needs to be removed from the receiving cavity, it is secured by the engagement of the second stop piece on the water tank with the first stop piece inside the receiving cavity. Manual control of the operating rod exposed on the surface of the water tank moves the second stop piece away from the stopping range of the first stop piece, allowing the water tank to be easily removed. This design features a simple structure, convenient operation, and the exposed part of the operating rod forms the outline of the water tank without protruding beyond it, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0028] 2. The water tank is equipped with a one-way valve assembly to prevent water from overflowing during insertion and removal. At the same time, the water inlet assembly on the receiving cavity can work with the one-way valve assembly on the water tank to automatically open the water supply channel when the water tank is inserted. This achieves the effect of automatic opening and closing of the water supply channel without the need for manual operation.
[0029] 3. A flow sensor is connected below the one-way valve assembly. The flow sensor is electrically connected to the controller inside the platform body. The first stop is an electromagnet, and the second stop is made of magnetic material. When the flow sensor detects a change in water flow, the first stop is energized and attracts the second stop, temporarily disabling the drive mechanism and fixing the water tank within the containment cavity. The effects are:
[0030] First, it is to prevent temperature runaway, because after the water tank is removed, the heating element may continue to work, causing the soleplate temperature to rise sharply, which may cause clothes or iron panels to burn, or even cause a fire if it comes into contact with flammable items such as tablecloths; second, it is to prevent equipment damage, because the heating element or thermostat may be damaged due to dry burning when there is no water.
[0031] 4. The water tank is equipped with a water inlet groove, and a hollow frame is embedded in the water inlet groove. The top of the hollow frame is equipped with an extraction part for hand gripping. Several through holes are provided through the top and side walls of the hollow frame. Water in the water tank enters the hollow frame through the through holes, which has the effect of preventing scale from forming and thus preventing blockage of the water inlet channel.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] Example 1:
[0043] An iron table body that allows for easy removal of the water tank, such as Figure 1-7As shown, the device includes a platform body 1 and a water tank 2. The water tank 2 has a chamber 3. The platform body 1 also has a receiving cavity 4 for inserting the water tank 2. A first stop 41 protrudes from the receiving cavity 4 and is located on the upper part of the water tank 2. A driving mechanism 5 is provided in the chamber 3. The driving mechanism 5 includes a second stop 51 movably disposed relative to the first stop 41 and an operating rod 52 for actuating the second stop 51. The operating rod 52 is at least partially exposed on the surface of the water tank 2. The first stop 41 and the second stop 51 are provided with... The guide slope is set opposite to each other, and the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 are both located in the insertion trajectory of the water tank 2. The second stop 51 has an unlocked state that is actuated by the first stop 41 or the operating rod 52 and retracted into the cavity 3; and a locked state that extends out of the cavity 3 and abuts against the first stop 41. The lower part of the receiving cavity 4 is provided with a positioning protrusion 42, and the bottom of the water tank 2 is provided with a positioning groove 43 opposite to the positioning protrusion 42. When the water tank 2 enters the receiving cavity 4, the positioning protrusion 42 and the positioning groove 43 engage and fix each other.
[0044] The driving mechanism 5 includes an elastic member 54 that abuts against the second stop member 51. The elastic member 54 applies a force to the second stop member 51 toward the first stop member 41. One end of the operating rod 52 is inserted into the chamber 3 and actuates the second stop member 51 away from the first stop member 41. Pressure rods 55 extend from both sides of the second stop member 51. The operating rod 52 extends upward about the hinge position to form a pressure head 521, and the pressure head 521 abuts against the pressure rod 55.
[0045] The upper part of the water tank 2 has a first stop 41 and a second stop 51 with oppositely arranged guide slopes. The first stop 41 and the second stop 51 are preferably wedge-shaped blocks. The first stop 41 prevents the second stop 51 from dislodging, thereby locking the upper part of the water tank 2. The bottom of the water tank 2 has a positioning groove 43, which can engage with the positioning protrusion 42 of the receiving cavity 4, thereby locking the lower part of the water tank 2. Therefore, when the water tank 2 and the receiving cavity 4 are in the combined state, the upper and lower parts of the water tank 2 can achieve double locking, so that the water tank 2 is stable during use and will not shake up and down, maintaining the sealing of the upper and lower contact surfaces of the water tank 2 and the platform body 1. When the water tank 2 needs to be removed from the platform, the water tank 2 can be locked from the platform body 1. When the accommodating cavity 4 is dislodged, the elastic element 54 abuts against the second stop 51, and the pressure head 521 on the operating rod 52 can compress the elastic element 54 by pressing the pressure rods 55 on both sides of the second stop 51, thereby causing the second stop 51 to move down and away from the first stop 41. The water tank 2 can only be fixed by the stop cooperation between the second stop 51 set on the water tank 2 and the first stop 41 in the accommodating cavity 4. Therefore, simply pulling up the operating rod 52 on the surface of the water tank 2 will allow the pressure head 521 on the operating rod 52 to complete the above-mentioned pressing function, so that the water tank 2 can be successfully dislodged. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The exposed part of the operating rod forms the outline of the water tank, but does not protrude beyond the outline of the water tank, making it beautiful and elegant.
[0046] Preferably, the top of the chamber 3 is provided with a cover plate 31 for shielding the chamber 3, and the cover plate 31 is provided with an opening 311 that allows the second stop member 51 to extend. By providing a cover plate 31 on the top of the chamber 3, the chamber 3 can be shielded, so that the drive mechanism 5 is not completely exposed on the surface of the water tank 2. This is both aesthetically pleasing and protects the parts of the drive mechanism 5 from damage. The drive mechanism 5 is integrated into the water tank 2, which facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance.
[0047] Preferably, the positioning protrusion 42 is provided with a plurality of damping protrusions 11 corresponding to the lower part of the water tank 2. The damping protrusions 11 are located in the insertion trajectory of the water tank 2, and the damping protrusions 11 are interference-fitted with the positioning groove 43. By providing a plurality of damping protrusions 11 at the lower part of the water tank 2, the damping protrusions 11 are interference-fitted with the positioning groove 43, allowing the positioning groove 43 at the bottom of the water tank 2 to engage more tightly with the positioning protrusions 42 of the receiving cavity 4, thereby enhancing the stability of the water tank 2 and improving the fixing effect.
[0048] Preferably, the water tank 2 is provided with a water inlet pipe 21, and the side wall of the water tank 2 is provided with a one-way valve assembly 22 communicating with the water inlet pipe 21. The accommodating cavity 4 is provided with a water inlet assembly 23, and the water inlet assembly 23 includes at least a water inlet pipe 231 extending into the accommodating cavity 4. The water inlet pipe 231 and the one-way valve assembly 22 are arranged in the same direction relative to the insertion trajectory of the water tank 2. The one-way valve assembly 22 includes a spring 221 and a stop bead 222. The spring 221 pushes the stop bead 222 to press against the valve port of the one-way valve assembly, and the water inlet pipe is arranged opposite to the valve port. The one-way valve assembly 22, which is configured with a spring 221 and a baffle 222 on the water tank 2, prevents water from overflowing from the water tank 2 during insertion and removal. Simultaneously, the water inlet assembly 23 on the receiving cavity 4 cooperates with the one-way valve assembly 22 on the water tank 2 to automatically open the water supply channel when the water tank 2 is inserted, eliminating the need for manual operation. When the water tank 2 is inserted, the water inlet pipe 231 enters the one-way valve, opening the baffle 222 to ensure unobstructed water flow. When the water tank 2 is removed, the water inlet pipe 231 leaves the one-way valve, and the baffle 222, under the restoring force of the spring 221, presses against the valve opening of the one-way valve to close the water supply channel, thus completing the automated opening and closing of the water supply channel.
[0049] Preferably, the water tank 2 is further provided with a water inlet groove 24, and a hollow frame 25 is embedded in the water inlet groove 24. The top of the hollow frame 25 is provided with an extraction part 251 for gripping by hand. Several through holes 252 are provided through the top and side walls of the hollow frame 25, and water in the water tank 2 enters the hollow frame 25 through the through holes 252. By setting the hollow frame 25, it is equivalent to opening an open independent space in the water tank 2. The extraction part 251 at the top of the hollow frame 25 can be grasped to open the hollow frame 25, and anti-calcification materials such as polyphosphates and organic acids can be put in. The through holes 252 on the hollow frame 25 allow water to flow through the hollow frame 25 and come into contact with the anti-calcification materials in the hollow frame 25, thus preventing scale from forming and blocking the water inlet channel.
[0050] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0051] When the water tank 2 needs to be placed, the operating lever 52 on the surface of the water tank 2 is pulled up so that the pressure head 521 on the operating lever 52 presses the pressure rods 55 on both sides of the second stop 51, which compresses the elastic member 54 and drives the second stop 51 to move down so that the second stop 51 can enter the stopping range of the first stop 41. Since the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 at the top of the water tank 2 are provided with oppositely arranged guide slopes, the first stop 41 prevents the second stop 51 from coming out, thereby completing the locking of the upper part of the water tank 2; the bottom of the water tank 2 is provided with a positioning groove 43. After entering the receiving cavity 4, the water tank 2 can engage with the positioning protrusion 42 of the receiving cavity 4, thereby completing the locking of the lower part of the water tank 2. In this way, the upper and lower parts of the water tank 2 can be locked.
[0052] When the water tank 2 needs to be removed, since the elastic element 54 abuts against the second stop 51, the pressure head 521 on the operating rod 52 compresses the elastic element 54 by pressing the pressure rods 55 on both sides of the second stop 51, causing the second stop 51 to move down and away from the first stop 41. Since the water tank 2 can be fixed by the stop cooperation between the second stop 51 on the water tank 2 and the first stop 41 in the accommodating cavity 4, it is only necessary to push up the operating rod 52 on the surface of the water tank 2 to make the pressure head 521 on the operating rod 52 complete the above-mentioned pressure function, so that the water tank 2 can be successfully removed.
[0053] Example 2:
[0054] An iron table body that allows for easy removal of the water tank, such as Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is that: the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 are connected by magnetic force, the water inlet assembly also includes a flow sensor 223, the flow sensor 223 is electrically connected to the controller inside the platform body 1, the first stop 41 is an electromagnet, the second stop 51 is a magnetic material, the electromagnet is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller receives the water flow signal from the flow sensor 223 to control the electromagnet to be energized and keep the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 attracted to each other.
[0055] The flow sensor 223 can be a turbine-type flow sensor 223. The water flow drives the impeller to rotate, and the magnet on the impeller triggers the Hall sensor on the flow sensor 223 to generate a pulse signal. Thus, the flow sensor 223 can convert the water flow state into an electrical signal (such as analog voltage, current or digital pulse). The flow sensor is preferably installed inside the platform body, without the need for wiring on the water tank. Specifically, it is installed in the water circuit between the inlet pipe 231 and the water pump 53. The controller (not shown in the figure), such as a PLC or microcontroller, is located inside the platform body 1 and is used to control the electromagnet to turn on and off. A preset threshold is given to the controller, such as when the flow rate is ≥1L / min, the electromagnet is activated. The sensor data is compared with the threshold in real time to determine whether to trigger the action. The controller connects a high-power circuit (such as 12V) to power the electromagnet. A relay is also installed in the same circuit as the flow sensor 223 and the electromagnet. This circuit is connected to the power supply located in the platform body 1. The controller outputs an electrical signal (such as 5V) to the relay. The working principle of the relay controlling the electromagnet to turn on and off is a very conventional existing technology, which will not be elaborated on here.
[0056] In use, when the flow sensor 223 detects that the flow rate has reached a preset threshold, it determines that the water tank 2 is in working condition. The flow sensor 223 converts the water flow status into an electrical signal. The controller receives the sensor signal, executes the preset logic judgment, and outputs a control command. The relay energizes the first stop 41 according to the controller's command. This ensures that the water tank 2 cannot be manually removed when it is in working condition. This is to prevent temperature runaway, because if the water tank 2 is removed, the heating element may continue to work, causing the bottom plate temperature to rise sharply, which may cause clothes or iron panels to burn, or even cause a fire if it comes into contact with flammable materials such as tablecloths. Secondly, it is to prevent equipment damage, because it may dry-burn when there is a lack of water. If the heating element or thermostat is damaged, when the flow sensor 223 detects that the flow rate has dropped below the preset threshold, it determines that the water tank 2 is in a non-working state. The flow sensor 223 outputs a zero pulse signal, the controller executes the preset logic judgment, and outputs a control command. The relay cuts off the power to the first stop 41 according to the controller's command. Then the magnetic field coupling function between the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 is temporarily disabled, and the driving function of the drive mechanism 5 can be restored. Manual operation of the drive mechanism 5 can make the second stop 51 disengage from the stop range of the first stop 41, so that the water tank 2 can be removed normally. This ensures that the above-mentioned hidden dangers are eliminated when the water tank 2 is in the working state, and does not affect the normal removal and water filling of the water tank 2 when it is not in the working state.
[0057] In addition, when the water in the water tank 2 is used up, the flow sensor 223 will not sense the change in water flow. Even if the iron is in working condition, the flow sensor 223 will determine that it is not in working condition and complete the process of cutting off the power to the first stop 41. Thus, the water tank 2 can be taken out normally, and there will be no problem that the water tank 2 cannot be taken out even when there is no water in it.
[0058] The solution in this embodiment is not limited to the first stop 41 being an electromagnet and the second stop 51 being a magnetic material; alternatively, the first stop 41 could be a magnetic material and the second stop 51 an electromagnet, with the second stop 51 electrically connected to the controller inside the platform body 1; or both the first stop 41 and the second stop 51 could be electromagnets, with both electrically connected to the controller inside the platform body 1. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the claims of this utility model patent application are included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
