Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] Embodiment one

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the utility model provides an embodiment: a steam iron, including base 1, the upper end surface rear end fixed mounting of base 1 has handle 2, the inside of base 1 is equipped with cavity 13 and is communicated with the installation of triangle head 4 through connecting seat 15 in the front end, and the inside of triangle head 4 is equipped with communication cavity 43;

[0033] The upper end surface front end of base 1 is provided with first reserved slot 14, and the first reserved slot 14 is movably inserted with blocking plate 3;

[0034] The inner wall top of communication cavity 43 is provided with second reserved slot 42, and the second reserved slot 42 is matched with the first reserved slot 14 in the opening position;

[0035] The bottom end of blocking plate 3 passes through first reserved slot 14 and second reserved slot 42 and extends into communication cavity 43, and blocking plate 3 and connecting seat 15 are in contact with each other.

[0036] Specifically, by setting the steam outlet hole 44 at the bottom of the triangular head 4 and the detachable structure of the triangular head 4, the effect of effectively cleaning the steam outlet hole is achieved. When impurities are mixed into the steam to block the steam outlet hole 44, the triangular head 4 can be detached from the base 1, separated from the insertion rod 16 through the insertion hole 41, and the steam outlet hole 44 at the bottom of the triangular head 4 is cleaned, solving the problem that in actual use, impurities mixed into the steam cause the hole to be blocked, affecting the normal use of the iron.

[0037] By setting the blocking plate 3, the first reserved slot 14 and the second reserved slot 42, the bottom end of the blocking plate 3 passes through the first reserved slot 14 and the second reserved slot 42 and extends into the communication cavity 43, and the insertion position of the blocking plate 3 matches the opening position of the communication hole 151 on the connecting seat 15, achieving the effect of quickly discharging high-temperature steam. When it is necessary to block the discharge of high-temperature steam, the blocking plate 3 can be pressed down to accurately block the communication hole 151, preventing steam from entering the communication cavity 43 of the triangular head 4 from the cavity 13 of the base 1, and further blocking the discharge of steam from the steam outlet hole 44, solving the problem that the existing iron is difficult to quickly block the high-temperature steam, thereby affecting the ironing effect and even damaging the clothes.

[0041] Further, the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 are both provided with control valves, the inlet pipe 11 is in communication with the steam gas pipe, and the outlet pipe 12 is in communication with the steam exhaust pipe.

[0042] Specifically, the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 are both provided with control valves, the inlet pipe 11 is in communication with the steam gas pipe, and the outlet pipe 12 is in communication with the steam exhaust pipe, realizing precise control of steam, and enabling the input and output of steam to be opened or closed at any time according to the use demand, improving the safety and flexibility of the iron use.

[0043] Further, the handle 2 is designed of wood material, and the handle 2 is provided with a hole for the inlet pipe 11 to pass through.

[0044] Specifically, the handle 2 is made of wood and has a hole for the steam inlet pipe 11 to pass through, achieving good hand feeling. The wood has good heat insulation performance, avoiding the user from being scalded by the hot iron body during operation. The design of the steam inlet pipe 11 passing through the hole ensures the compactness and rationality of the overall structure.

[0045] Embodiment three

[0046] In order to realize efficient transmission of steam from the base to the triangular head and a convenient and stable installation method of the triangular head, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in the embodiment, a communication hole 151 is formed in the connecting seat 15, the cavity 13 communicates with the communication cavity 43 through the communication hole 151, and the base 1 on both sides of the connecting seat 15 is fixedly installed with a plug-in rod 16.

[0047] Specifically, the communication hole 151 is formed in the connecting seat 15 to make the cavity 13 communicate with the communication cavity 43, and the plug-in rod 16 is fixedly installed on the base 1 on both sides of the connecting seat 15, realizing smooth transmission of steam from the base 1 to the triangular head 4, and the plug-in rod 16 provides a stable connection method for the installation of the triangular head 4, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the triangular head 4.

[0048] Further, plug-in holes 41 matched with the plug-in rod 16 are formed on both sides of the rear end of the triangular head 4, and a steam outlet hole 44 is formed at the bottom of the triangular head 4.

[0049] Specifically, the plug-in holes 41 matched with the plug-in rod 16 are formed on both sides of the rear end of the triangular head 4, and the steam outlet hole 44 is formed at the bottom of the triangular head 4, realizing convenient and firm assembly of the triangular head 4 and the base 1. The steam outlet hole 44 at the bottom ensures that the steam can be uniformly and effectively discharged, meeting the demand of ironing clothes.

[0050] Further, the insertion position of the blocking plate 3 matches the position where the communication hole 151 is formed, and the blocking plate 3 has a hole at the top for installing an anti-loss rope.

[0051] Specifically, the insertion position of the blocking plate 3 matches the position where the communication hole 151 is formed, and the blocking plate 3 has a hole at the top for installing an anti-loss rope, realizing that the blocking plate 3 can accurately control the blocking of steam flow. When it is necessary to stop steam output, it can be operated in time. The hole at the top facilitates the installation of an anti-loss rope, preventing the blocking plate 3 from being lost during use.

[0052] When using this invention, hold the handle 2, which is made of wood. Because the handle 2 has a hole specifically for the steam inlet pipe 11 to pass through, the steam inlet pipe 11 will not hinder the feel and operation of holding the iron. Open the control valve on the steam inlet pipe 11 to allow steam to enter the cavity 13 inside the base 1 through the steam inlet pipe 11, allowing the steam to begin to accumulate and flow in the cavity 13.

[0053] Steam flows within the cavity 13 of the base 1 and enters the communicating cavity 43 inside the triangular head 4 through the communicating hole 151 on the connecting seat 15. Steam is discharged from the evenly distributed steam outlets 44 at the bottom of the triangular head 4. At this time, the user can place the clothes to be ironed flat in a suitable position under the triangular head 4 and use the steam discharged from the steam outlets 44 to iron the clothes to remove wrinkles and smooth the clothes.

[0054] When it is discovered during ironing that the clothes may be damaged by high-temperature steam, or when it is necessary to pause the ironing operation, such as changing the ironing area or adjusting the position of the clothes, the blocking plate 3 can be pressed down. The bottom end of the blocking plate 3 passes through the first reserved groove 14 opened at the front end of the upper end of the base 1 and the second reserved groove 42 opened at the top of the inner wall of the internal connecting cavity 43 of the triangular head 4. Since the insertion position of the blocking plate 3 is precisely matched with the opening position of the connecting hole 151 on the connecting seat 15, the blocking plate 3 can accurately block the connecting hole 151, thereby effectively preventing steam from entering the connecting cavity 43 of the triangular head 4 from the cavity 13 of the base 1, and thus preventing steam from escaping from the steam outlet 44 at the bottom of the triangular head 4.

[0055] If the steam outlet 44 at the bottom of the triangular head 4 becomes blocked due to impurities in the steam, affecting the normal steam discharge and ironing effect, the control valve on the steam inlet pipe 11 should be closed first to stop the steam supply and ensure that no steam is ejected during the cleaning process, posing a danger. Then, the triangular head 4 can be removed from the base 1. Specifically, the insertion holes 41 on both sides of the rear end of the triangular head 4 that match the insertion rod 16 on the base 1 should be pulled out from the insertion rod 16. This allows the triangular head 4 to be removed separately for thorough cleaning. Use appropriate tools such as a fine needle to remove impurities from the steam outlet 44, ensuring that the steam outlet 44 is unobstructed. After cleaning, accurately connect the triangular head 4 to the insertion rod 16 on the base 1 through the insertion holes 41, restoring the triangular head 4 to its assembled state with the base 1.

[0056] It is apparent for a person skilled in the art that the present application is not restricted to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, but that it can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or the essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary only, and not limiting, the scope of the present application being defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes coming within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claims concerned.
