[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0026] The ironing machine body 1 used in this application is a product that can be purchased directly on the market. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0027] An ironing machine with an ironing board folding structure includes: an ironing machine body 1;

[0028] Fixed columns 11 are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the ironing machine body 1. A movable groove 12 is opened on the bottom surface of the ironing machine body 1, and a guide groove 13 is opened on the inner wall of the movable groove 12.

[0029] Movable structures 2 are installed on both sides of the main body 1 of the ironing machine.

[0030] Furthermore, the movable structure 2 includes an ironing board body 21, which is movably mounted on the side wall of the ironing machine body 1 via a fixing post 11. A first fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the ironing board body 21. A first support frame 23 is movably connected to the inner side of the first fixing block 22 via a pivot. A first magnet 24 is provided on the top surface of the bottom end of the first support frame 23. A second magnet 25 is provided on the front and rear walls of the bottom end of the first support frame 23. A first slot 26 is opened at the bottom end of the first support frame 23. An insert block 27 is inserted into the inner side of the first slot 26. A second magnet 25 is fixedly connected to the left and right side walls of the ironing machine body 1. Two fixing blocks 28 are connected to a second support frame 29 via bearings on the inner side of the second fixing block 28. A third magnet 210 is provided on the top surface of the upper end of the second support frame 29, and a fourth magnet 211 is provided on the front and rear walls of the upper end of the second support frame 29. A second slot 212 is provided at the upper end of the second support frame 29. By installing the fixing post 11 inside the ironing machine body 1, the rotating end of the ironing board body 21 can be located inside the ironing machine body 1. Therefore, a large gap between the ironing board body 21 and the ironing machine body 1 can be avoided. In addition, the operation of the insert 27 is convenient, and the disassembly and assembly can be completed directly from the front side of the ironing machine body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, a support structure 3 is installed on the bottom surface of the ironing machine body 1. The support structure 3 includes a fixed seat 31, which is movably installed in the movable groove 12. A caster wheel 32 is installed on the bottom surface of the fixed seat 31. A rotating block 33 is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the fixed seat 31. Guide posts 34 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the fixed seat 31. Pulling the fixed seat 31 can drive the rotating block 33 to move in the movable groove 12. The guide posts 34 can slide in the guide groove 13, which can limit the rotation angle of the fixed seat 31, so that the fixed seat 31 is perpendicular to the ironing machine body 1. The fixed seat 31 is exposed on both sides of the ironing machine body 1. With the help of the caster wheel 32, the ironing machine body 1 can be supported to prevent the ironing board body 21 from being too heavy and causing the device to tilt.

[0032] Furthermore, the top surface of the ironing board body 21 is flush with the top surface of the ironing machine body 1, and the fabric is laid flat on the top surfaces of the ironing machine body 1 and the ironing board body 21.

[0033] Furthermore, the second magnetic block 25 and the fourth magnetic block 211 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the second magnetic block 25 and the fourth magnetic block 211 cooperate with each other to pre-support and fix the ironing board body 21.

[0034] Furthermore, the first slot 26 and the second slot 212 are aligned front to back, and the insert 27 passes through the first magnetic block 24 and the second support frame 29 via the first slot 26 and the second slot 212. The connection stability of the first support frame 23 and the second support frame 29 can be further improved by the insert 27.

[0035] Furthermore, the rotating block 33 is movably mounted in the movable groove 12 via a bearing, the bottom surface of the universal wheel 32 is flush with the bottom surface of the ironing machine body 1, and the guide post 34 is slidably mounted in the guide groove 13. The guide post 34 cooperates with the guide groove 13 to limit the rotation angle of the fixed seat 31 in the movable groove 12.

[0036] Working principle: In use, pulling the ironing board body 21 causes it to rotate within the side wall of the ironing machine body 1 via the fixing post 11, lifting the ironing board body 21 until it is flush with the top surface of the ironing machine body 1. Then, pulling the first support frame 23 releases the first magnet 24 from its magnetic attraction to the ironing board body 21, causing the first support frame 23 to deflect within the first fixing block 22. The first support frame 23 then tilts downwards. Pulling the second support frame 29 releases the third magnet 210 from its magnetic attraction to the ironing machine body 1. When the second support frame 29 is deflected within the second fixing block 28, it changes from vertical to inclined. The upper end of the second support frame 29 is located outside the bottom end of the first support frame 23. The second magnetic block 25 and the fourth magnetic block 211 are magnetically attracted to each other, which can pre-support and fix the ironing board body 21. The first slot 26 and the second slot 212 are aligned. At this time, the insert 27 is inserted through the first slot 26 and the second slot 212 through the first support frame 23 and the second support frame 29, which can fix the first support frame 23 and the second support frame 29 together and provide stable support for the ironing board body 21.

[0037] Pulling the fixed base 31 can cause the rotating block 33 to move within the movable groove 12. The guide post 34 can slide within the guide groove 13, which can limit the rotation angle of the fixed base 31, making the fixed base 31 perpendicular to the ironing machine body 1. The fixed base 31 then protrudes from both sides of the ironing machine body 1. With the help of the casters 32, the ironing machine body 1 can be supported, preventing the ironing board body 21 from being too heavy and causing the device to tilt.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
