Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ironing equipment, especially a handle rotatable iron. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an indispensable electrical equipment in modern families, electric irons use heated soleplates to iron clothes, effectively removing wrinkles on clothes and keeping clothes neat and crisp. With the continuous progress of technology and the diversification of consumer needs, electric irons have gradually developed into various types, including ordinary, temperature-adjustable, steam, and spray types, each with its unique functions and application scenarios to meet the ironing needs of different users.

[0003] However, despite the increasing functionality of electric irons, there are still some shortcomings in terms of convenience and adaptability. In particular, the handle of traditional electric irons is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted according to ironing needs. This brings great inconvenience to users when the use scenario is limited or a specific ironing angle is required. To solve this problem, electric irons with adjustable handle angles have gradually appeared on the market. These electric irons with adjustable angles mostly use spring locking mechanisms to limit the use angle, but existing technical solutions have some obvious defects in design and implementation.

[0004] Firstly, the separate installation seat or external unlocking mechanism developed to accommodate the spring not only increases the number of parts, assembly difficulty, and cost, but also increases the distance between the body and the handle and the weight of the handle due to the location of these components mostly at the connection between the handle and the body. This not only increases the overall weight of the iron, but also makes the iron more cumbersome to use, making it difficult to operate. At the same time, due to the increase in torque, the iron is more likely to tip over during use, increasing the risk of use.

[0005] Secondly, existing irons with adjustable handle angles also have shortcomings in stability. Due to the instability during use, the iron is prone to radial slipping, resulting in poor ironing results and even damage to clothes. In addition, direct friction of the rotating surface can also cause component damage, reducing the service life of the iron.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing technology, improve the applicability and stability of the iron, reduce assembly difficulty and cost, and increase its stability during use, it has very important practical significance. Such an iron needs to have the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, and good stability to meet the ironing needs of different users. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of this part is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present application and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments, and some simplifications or omissions may be made in this part and the abstract of the specification and the name of the utility model to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract of the specification and the name of the utility model, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0008] In view of the above and / or problems existing in the prior art, the present application is proposed.

[0009] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the handle of the adjustable angle iron has the hidden danger of radial displacement or even disengagement during use, and the contact loss between the handle and the base is increased during the process of rotating the iron to change the angle, which affects the service life of the equipment and cannot fully adapt to all ironing scenes, and the ironing effect is poor.

[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical scheme: an iron, comprising,

[0011] a casing for protecting internal elements; a handle for holding, the handle being rotatable relative to the casing; a bottom plate for directly contacting clothes for ironing; an electric heating element for heating the electric heating bottom plate; and a cable inside the iron for transmitting power;

[0012] The iron further comprises a connecting assembly for connecting the handle and the casing, the connecting assembly being installed between the casing and the handle, the connecting assembly comprising a sleeve and an auxiliary seat, the sleeve and the auxiliary seat cooperating with each other;

[0013] The auxiliary seat is provided with an elastic clamping block, the sleeve is provided with a cavity, the cavity and the elastic clamping block are adapted to each other, the elastic clamping block applies force in the radial direction of the rotation plane to increase the stability during rotation; further, a clamping groove can be formed in the cavity, so that the elastic clamping block is clamped with the clamping groove, and the cooperation between the two is more stable;

[0014] The auxiliary seat is provided with an annular groove towards the sleeve, the sleeve is provided with an annular protrusion towards the auxiliary seat, the bottom of the annular protrusion extends into the annular groove and is movably connected with the annular groove, and the annular protrusion can rotate in the annular groove. If the handle is arranged directly above the casing, the rotation axis of the annular protrusion coincides with the rotation axis of the handle relative to the casing; in some special ironing scenes, the handle is arranged obliquely above the casing, and at this time, the rotation axis of the annular protrusion intersects with the rotation axis of the handle relative to the casing.

[0015] The annular protrusion can rotate relative to the annular groove, and the annular groove further reduces the radial movement, so that the connection between the handle and the shell is more stable, and friction between the top of the shell and the bottom of the handle during rotation is avoided, the body is not damaged, and the service life is reduced. The annular protrusion is arranged on the auxiliary seat towards the sleeve, the sleeve is provided with an annular groove towards the auxiliary seat, the bottom of the annular protrusion extends into the annular groove and is movably connected with the annular groove, and the same effect can also be achieved.

[0016] As a preferred scheme of the iron, the auxiliary seat is provided with a fixed ring fixedly connected to the center of the top of the auxiliary seat, and the fixed ring is circumferentially connected with an elastic clamping block.

[0017] As a preferred scheme of the iron, a through groove is formed in the sleeve, and the through groove is in communication with the clamping groove.

[0018] As a preferred scheme of the iron, the through groove has an inner cavity, the inner cavity can accommodate the fixed ring, and the inner cavity is matched with the fixed ring.

[0019] As a preferred scheme of the iron, a receiving groove is formed in the auxiliary seat towards the sleeve, and the receiving groove is in communication with the annular groove.

[0020] As a scheme of the iron, the rotation axis of the annular protrusion and the rotation axis of the handle relative to the shell have at least one common point.

[0021] The iron has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The use convenience and comfort are enhanced:

[0023] The adjusting mechanism adopts a built-in spring locking design, simplifies the operation process, and the user only needs to rotate the handle to quickly adjust the angle, without the need for additional unlocking or installation steps. In addition, the moderate distance design between the handle and the iron body effectively reduces the influence of the overall weight on the operation, reduces hand fatigue caused by long-term use, and improves the operation experience of the user.

[0024] 2. The safety performance and service life are improved:

[0025] The anti-slip device effectively prevents the iron from slipping during ironing due to uneven surfaces or improper operation, avoiding the risk of accidental burns or damage to clothes. At the same time, the application of the buffer device in the adjusting mechanism reduces the direct friction of the rotating surface, reduces the wear and failure rate of the components, and further guarantees the stability and safety of the iron.

[0036] Referring to Figs. 1-3 The embodiment provides an iron, comprising a casing 101 for protecting internal components;

[0037] A handle 103 for holding, the handle being rotatable relative to the casing;

[0038] A sole plate 102 for contacting and ironing a garment;

[0039] An electric heating element for heating the electrically heated sole plate;

[0040] And a cable 104c for transmitting power within the iron;

[0041] It should be noted that the casing 101, the sole plate 102 and the handle 103 are all known structures in existing irons and are installed and used by using existing technologies;

[0042] The handle 103 is located above the casing 101, and the sole plate 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the casing 101; the iron further comprises a connecting assembly 104 for connecting the handle and the casing, the connecting assembly 104 being installed between the casing 101 and the handle 103,

[0043] The connecting assembly 104 comprises a sleeve 104a and an auxiliary seat 104b, the sleeve and the auxiliary seat being matched with each other;

[0044] The auxiliary seat is provided with an elastic clamping block 104b-2a, and the sleeve 104a is provided with a clamping groove 104a-2, the clamping groove 104a-2 being clamped with the elastic clamping block 104b-2a.

[0045] The auxiliary seat 104b is provided with an annular groove 104b-1 towards the sleeve, and the sleeve 104a is provided with an annular protrusion 104a-3 towards the auxiliary seat, the bottom of the annular protrusion 104a-3 extending into the annular groove 104b-1 and being movably connected with the annular groove 104b-1, and the annular protrusion 104a-3 being rotatable in the annular groove 104b-1.

[0046] Further, the auxiliary seat 104b is fixedly connected with a fixing ring 104b-2 at the center of the top of the auxiliary seat 104b, and the fixing ring 104b-2 is connected with the elastic clamping block 104b-2a in the circumferential direction.

[0047] Further, the sleeve 104a is provided with a through groove 104a-1 in the inside of the sleeve 104a, and the through groove 104a-1 is in communication with the clamping groove 104a-2.

[0048] Further, the through groove 104a-1 has an inner cavity for accommodating the fixing ring 104b-2, and the inner cavity is matched with the fixing ring 104b-2 at the bottom.

[0049] Further, the auxiliary seat 104b is provided with a receiving groove 104b-3 in the direction of the sleeve shell, and the receiving groove 104b-3 is in communication with the annular groove 104b-1.

[0050] Further, the rotation axis of the annular protrusion 104a-3 and the rotation axis of the handle 103 relative to the shell 101 have at least one common point.

[0051] In use, each component is in the initial installation state, the bottom of the sleeve shell 104a is in contact with the top of the auxiliary seat 104b, the elastic clamping block 104b-2a is placed in the clamping groove 104a-2, the annular protrusion 104a-3 is placed in the annular groove 104b-1, and the locking piece 104b-4a is placed in the locking hole 104a-4 under the elastic support of the spring 104b-4. In this state, the stress at the connection between the handle 103 and the shell 101 can be dispersed, and the strength and durability of the overall structure can be improved. When the user needs to adjust the angle of the handle 103 for multi-angle holding, the handle 103 is driven to rotate, the sleeve shell 104a rotates, the elastic clamping block 104b-2a rotates in the clamping groove 104a-2, and the annular protrusion 104a-3 rotates in the annular groove 104b-1. With the rotation of the sleeve shell 104a, the locking hole 104a-4 and the locking piece 104b-4a gradually dislocate, the locking piece 104b-4a is pressed and shrinks into the receiving groove 104b-3, the spring 104b-4 is compressed, and the locking piece 104b-4a aligns with the new locking hole 104a-4. Under the elastic support of the spring 104b-4, the locking piece 104b-4a automatically moves up into the new locking hole 104a-4. Due to the rotation of the annular protrusion 104a-3 in the annular groove 104b-1 and the rotation and cooperation of the elastic clamping block 104b-2a in the clamping groove 104a-2, the direct frictional contact between the sleeve shell and the auxiliary seat is avoided, and the rotation is also guided, making the rotation more smooth. Further, this design strengthens the fixation between the handle and the shell at two positions, reduces the radial movement in use, and makes the use more stable. Further, the number of parts in the handle is also reduced, the assembly difficulty is reduced, and the risk of side overturning is also reduced due to the reduction of the weight of the handle.

[0052] In summary, by arranging the shell 101, the handle 103 and the connecting assembly 104, the annular protrusion 104a-3 can be placed in the annular groove 104b-1 in the butt joint installation state of the sleeve shell 104a and the auxiliary seat 104b, which can effectively prevent the handle 103 from loosening or deviating accidentally during use, and ensure the stability of the iron body 100 during operation.
