Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing ironing appliances, and in particular to a handheld steam ironing device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing handheld steam irons typically generate steam and release it through steam vents on the ironing panel to iron clothes. Due to the impact force of the steam flow, the clothes are thrown away from the ironing panel. The farther away they are, the lower the steam pressure and heat become, thus affecting the ironing effect and efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a handheld steam ironing device. A suction area is added to the ironing panel, and a suction device is added to the handheld main unit. The suction device works to draw the clothes to be ironed onto the ironing panel through the suction area. This fully utilizes the exhaust steam with a certain impact force and heat to iron the clothes, reducing the impact force and heat loss of the steam, thereby improving the ironing efficiency and ironing quality of the handheld steam ironing device.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solution: a handheld steam ironing device, comprising a handheld main unit, an ironing panel disposed on the handheld main unit, a steam generating device in the handheld main unit, and a steam discharge area on the ironing panel, characterized in that the handheld main unit is further provided with a suction device, and the ironing panel is further provided with a suction area, the area of the suction area being greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel, the suction device being used to draw the clothes to be ironed onto the ironing panel from the suction area, and the steam generating device being used to discharge steam through the steam discharge area for ironing clothes.
[0005] Theoretically, the suction area has several air inlets. With the help of the suction device, as long as an airflow is generated from the outside of the ironing panel inwards, the clothes to be ironed can be adsorbed onto the ironing panel. To improve the adsorption effect, several evenly distributed air inlets are provided in the suction area to ensure that each corresponding part of the clothes to be ironed receives a balanced adsorption force. To further improve the adsorption effect, the area of the suction area is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel. The ironing panel specifically refers to the component facing the clothes during ironing; its surface can be flat, curved, or consist of two or more intersecting surfaces.
[0006] As a further improvement and supplement to the above technical solution, the present invention adopts the following technical measures:
[0007] Preferably, the steam emission area is wholly or partially surrounded by the suction area. When the handheld steam iron is in operation, the suction device draws the clothes to be ironed towards the ironing panel, while the steam generator emits steam with a certain impact force and heat to iron the clothes. During ironing, the clothes are adhered to the ironing panel, thus fully utilizing the steam emitted by the steam generator. This reduces or even eliminates the movement of clothes away from the ironing panel due to the steam's impact force, minimizing heat loss and improving the ironing efficiency and quality of the handheld steam iron.
[0008] Preferably, the suction area is located at least around the perimeter of the ironing panel, and the steam emission area is located in the central area of the ironing panel. Positioning the suction area around the perimeter of the ironing panel allows the clothing to adhere to the steam emission area when it is drawn to the panel. This effectively seals the steam emission area, preventing steam from escaping along the clothing surface and forcing it through the clothing for ironing, thus improving steam utilization and ironing efficiency. Furthermore, it fully utilizes the ironing panel area, ensuring the entire panel is covered by clothing, maximizing the effective ironing area and improving ironing efficiency and results.
[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the steam emission area is either a flat surface or an open, recessed surface with a large opening and a small cavity that curves inward toward the back of the ironing panel. While a flat outer surface is a feasible technical solution, a recessed outer surface is a more preferred solution. When using a handheld steam iron, the recessed area of the steam emission area can contain and store steam, allowing the steam to act on the clothing in the corresponding recessed area for a longer period, rather than simply passing through it. This increases the duration of steam contact with the clothing and improves the ironing effect. Furthermore, this not only helps reduce the loss of heat and impact force from the steam but also concentrates the heat and impact force of the steam in the emission area to a certain extent, further improving the ironing effect and efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the steam emission area is provided with several steam emission holes. This helps to improve the ironing effect of each part in the steam emission area, and thus also helps to improve the ironing effect and ironing efficiency of the handheld steam iron.
[0011] Preferably, the steam emission area is a small ellipse, and the steam emission holes are arranged in a straight line along the major axis of the ellipse. Therefore, the steam emitted from the arranged steam emission holes is also roughly in a straight line, maximizing the width of the steam on an ironing panel of a given area. This allows the straight-line steam to "scan" the clothes with maximum width each time, avoiding disorderly and repeated ironing of adjacent areas, thus improving ironing efficiency.
[0012] Preferably, the steam exhaust holes include large-diameter steam exhaust holes and small-diameter steam exhaust holes. The large-diameter steam exhaust holes are located in the center of the steam exhaust area, and the small-diameter steam exhaust holes are located on both sides of the large-diameter steam exhaust holes. The large-diameter steam exhaust holes are located in the center to maximize the steam volume in the central part of the steam exhaust area, allowing the steam to diffuse outwards from the center. This improves steam utilization and, consequently, enhances the ironing effect and efficiency of the handheld steam iron.
[0013] Preferably, the steam emission area and the suction area are distributed on the ironing panel of a single component or separately on different components constituting the ironing panel. For the ironing panel of a single component, it is made of a single material. For ironing panels composed of different components, this allows for the use of different materials for the different components according to the requirements of steam release and suction. Furthermore, depending on the contour of the ironing panel, the shape of the suction area can be triangular, elliptical, or other shapes. The shape of the suction area not only matches the elliptical steam emission area but also allows the ironing panel to have a sufficiently large adsorption area. This helps ensure that a sufficiently strong suction force is formed around the outer periphery of the steam emission area, allowing clothing to be stably adsorbed onto the entire ironing panel, and also improves the ironing effect and efficiency of the handheld steam iron.
[0014] Preferably, to further improve the adsorption effect, the air inlets on the suction area are arranged in at least two rings. If there is still extra space in the suction area after the air inlets are arranged in at least two rings, they are still arranged according to appropriate spacing and rules, so that the suction area is not only filled with air inlets, but also helps to improve the visual effect of the ironing panel.
[0015] Preferably, in order to ensure that all parts of the suction area have a uniform suction force, the back side of the ironing panel is provided with a uniform air channel that cooperates with the suction area, and the uniform air channel is connected to the suction device.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. To ensure the adsorption effect, the area of the suction area is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel. 2. By adding a suction area to the ironing panel and a suction device to the handheld unit, the suction area draws the clothes to be ironed towards the ironing panel, making full use of the exhaust steam with a certain impact force and heat for ironing clothes, reducing the loss of steam impact force and heat, thereby improving the ironing efficiency and quality of the handheld steam ironing device. 3. To reduce the loss of steam heat and impact force, the outer surface of the steam exhaust area is preferably an open-mouthed concave surface with a large opening and a small cavity, recessed towards the back of the ironing panel. 4. To ensure balanced suction in all parts of the suction area, the back of the ironing panel is provided with a uniform airflow channel that cooperates with the suction area, and the uniform airflow channel is connected to the suction device. 5. The arrangement of steam exhaust holes in a straight line helps to increase the effective ironing width when using the handheld steam ironing device, thereby improving ironing efficiency.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. In particular, in... Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the diagram, the area inside dashed line A is the effective area of the ironing panel facing the garment when ironing. The area between dashed lines A and B is the suction area 6, and the area inside dashed line B is the steam emission area 4. In actual products, the suction area 6 and the steam emission area 4 can be represented on a single ironing panel or on different components that make up the ironing panel.
[0025] Example: Figures 1-6 As shown, a handheld steam ironing device includes a handheld main unit 1, an ironing panel 2 disposed on the handheld main unit 1, a steam generator 3 disposed in the handheld main unit 1, and a steam emission area 4 on the ironing panel 2.
[0026] The main difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that: the handheld host 1 is also provided with a suction device 5, and the ironing panel 2 is also provided with a suction area 6. The area of the suction area 6 is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel. The suction device 5 is used to make the suction area 6 absorb the clothes to be ironed onto the ironing panel 2. The steam generator 3 is used to discharge steam through the steam discharge area 4 for ironing clothes.
[0027] In this technical solution, the suction area 6 has several air inlets, which, under the action of the suction device 5, can attract the clothes to be ironed onto the ironing panel 2 as long as an airflow is generated from the outside to the inside. To improve the adsorption effect, several evenly distributed air inlets are provided in the suction area 6, which helps to ensure that the corresponding parts of the clothes to be ironed receive a balanced adsorption force. To further improve the adsorption effect, the area of the suction area 6 is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel 2. Herein, the ironing panel 2 specifically refers to the component facing the clothes during ironing, and its surface can be flat, curved, or have two or more intersecting surfaces.
[0028] Theoretically speaking, the area of the suction area 6 is not limited to "the area of the suction area 6 is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel 2". As long as the suction area 6 has a number of air inlets 13, under the action of the suction device 5, an airflow can be generated from the outside of the ironing panel 2 to the inside. The generated airflow can adsorb the ironed clothes onto the ironing panel 2.
[0029] Therefore, for those skilled in the art, it is also a feasible solution for the area of the suction area 6 to be less than 50% of the area of the ironing panel 2, and it also falls within the protection scope of this technical solution. However, the technical solution in which the area of the suction area 6 is greater than or equal to 50% of the area of the ironing panel 2 is the preferred technical solution.
[0030] When the area of the suction area 6 is less than 50% of the area of the ironing panel 2, based on the arrangement of several evenly distributed air inlets 13 on the suction area 6, the suction capacity of the ventilation holes can be improved by increasing the power of the suction device 5, which can also achieve the purpose of adsorbing the ironed clothes onto the ironing panel 2.
[0031] In practical applications, in order to ensure the adsorption capacity and reliability of the ironing panel 2, the steam emission area 4 is wholly or partially surrounded by the suction area 6.
[0032] When the handheld steam iron is in operation, the suction device 5 draws the clothes to be ironed onto the ironing panel 2 through the suction area 6. Simultaneously, the steam generator 3 emits steam with a certain impact force and heat to iron the clothes. During the ironing process, the clothes are adhered to the ironing panel 2, thus fully utilizing the steam emitted by the steam generator 3. This reduces or even eliminates the movement of clothes away from the ironing panel due to the impact force of the steam, minimizing heat loss and improving the ironing efficiency and quality of the handheld steam iron.
[0033] To further improve the adsorption and ironing effects, the suction area 6 is located at least around the periphery of the ironing panel 2, and the steam emission area 4 is located in the central area of the ironing panel 2.
[0034] In this technical solution, the suction area 6 is arranged around the perimeter of the ironing panel 2, while the steam emission area 4 is located in the central area of the ironing panel 2. By arranging the suction area 6 around the perimeter of the ironing panel 2, when clothing is drawn to the ironing panel 2, it facilitates the clothing's contact with the steam emission area 3, effectively sealing the steam emission area 3. This prevents steam from drifting along the surface of the clothing, forcing the steam to pass through the clothing for ironing, thus improving steam utilization and ironing efficiency. Furthermore, it fully utilizes the area of the ironing panel 2, ensuring that the entire ironing panel 2 is covered by clothing, thereby maximizing the effective ironing area and improving ironing efficiency and results.
[0035] To further optimize the above technical solutions, the outer surface of the steam emission area 4 is either a flat surface or an open, recessed surface with a large opening and a small cavity, recessed towards the back of the ironing panel 2. Regardless of whether the outer surface of the steam emission area 4 is flat or recessed, the orthographic projection structural diagram of the ironing panel 2 is the same (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).
[0036] When the outer surface of the steam exhaust area 4 is a plane, it is a feasible technical solution (this plane is usually coplanar with the plane where the suction area 6 is located; for those skilled in the art, this technical solution can be achieved through the description herein, therefore, to avoid redundancy, the corresponding structural diagram is omitted). However, the outer surface of the steam exhaust area 4 is an open, recessed surface with a large opening and a small cavity, recessed towards the back of the ironing panel (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this is a more preferred solution.
[0037] When the outer surface of the steam emission zone 4 is a recessed surface, the specific shape of the recessed surface is not specifically required and can be formed during production according to actual user needs. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an example is provided for the steam emission region 4, whose outer surface is concave. The figure illustrates an elliptical shape where the length of the concave surface is greater than its width. The scope of protection of this technical solution is not limited to the example in this embodiment.
[0038] In this technical solution, when ironing with a handheld steam iron, steam can be stored in the recessed area of the steam emission zone 4, allowing the steam to act on the clothing in the corresponding recessed area for a longer period, rather than quickly passing through it. This increases the time the steam acts on the clothing, improving the ironing effect. Furthermore, it not only helps reduce the loss of heat and impact force from the steam, but also concentrates the heat and impact force of the steam in the steam emission zone 4 to a certain extent, further improving the ironing effect and efficiency.
[0039] In order to have uniform steam in the steam discharge zone 4, a number of steam discharge holes are provided in the steam discharge zone 4.
[0040] In this technical solution, the arrangement of several steam exhaust holes is beneficial to improve the even distribution of steam in the steam exhaust area 4, and to enable the ironed clothes and the parts of the steam exhaust area 4 to be ironed simultaneously and efficiently. This also helps to improve the ironing effect and ironing efficiency of the handheld steam ironing device.
[0041] In order to achieve a more efficient ironing effect with the ironing panel 2 which has a limited area, the steam emission area 4 is elliptical, and the steam emission holes are arranged in a line along the long axis of the ellipse.
[0042] In this technical solution, the steam emitted from the steam exhaust holes arranged in a straight line is also roughly in a straight line, which maximizes the width of the steam on the ironing panel 2 of a certain area. This is beneficial for the straight-line steam to maximize the width of each "scan" when "scanning" the clothes, and avoids the situation of repeatedly ironing clothes back and forth in adjacent areas in a disorderly manner, thereby improving ironing efficiency.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to further improve the ironing effect and efficiency, the steam exhaust hole includes a large-diameter steam exhaust hole 9 and a small-diameter steam exhaust hole 10. The large-diameter steam exhaust hole 9 is located in the middle of the steam exhaust area 4, and the small-diameter steam exhaust holes 10 are respectively located on both sides of the large-diameter steam exhaust hole 9.
[0044] In this technical solution, the large-diameter steam exhaust hole 9 is located in the middle part, so that the steam volume in the middle part of the steam exhaust area 4 is the largest, and the steam diffuses from the middle part to the surrounding area, which is conducive to improving the steam utilization rate, and thus also conducive to improving the ironing effect and ironing efficiency of the handheld steam ironing device.
[0045] In practical applications, the steam emission zone 4 and the suction zone 5 are distributed on the ironing panel 2 of the integral component or separately on different components constituting the ironing panel 2. The integral ironing panel 2 is made of a single material. For ironing panels 2 composed of different components, this allows for the use of different materials for the different components according to the requirements of steam release and suction. Furthermore, depending on the outline of the ironing panel, the shape of the suction zone can be triangular, elliptical, or other shapes. The shape of the suction zone not only matches the elliptical steam emission zone but also allows the ironing panel 2 to have a sufficiently large adsorption area. This helps ensure that a sufficiently strong suction force is formed around the outer periphery of the steam emission zone, allowing clothing to be stably adsorbed onto the entire ironing panel, and also improves the ironing effect and efficiency of the handheld steam iron.
[0046] To further improve the adsorption effect, the air inlet holes 13 are arranged in at least two concentric rings. Figure 2 The diagram shows three rings of air inlets 13.
[0047] In practical applications, the specific number of turns of the air inlet 13 can be set according to actual needs and the area of the ironing panel 2.
[0048] In addition, if there is still extra space in the suction area 6 after the air inlets 13 are arranged in at least two circles, they are still arranged according to appropriate spacing and arrangement rules, so that the suction area 6 is not only filled with air inlets, but also helps to improve the visual effect of the ironing panel 2.
[0049] To ensure that all parts of the suction zone 6 have balanced suction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the ironing panel 2 has a uniform air channel 8 on its back side that cooperates with the suction area 6, and the uniform air channel 8 is connected to the suction device 5.
[0050] Furthermore, the handheld host unit 1 has a mutually abutting air intake channel 11 and a steam outlet channel 12. The air intake channel 11 is connected to the uniform airflow channel 8, and the steam outlet channel 12 is matched with the steam discharge area 4. The mutually abutting air intake channel 11 and steam outlet channel 12 help avoid interference between air intake (from the outside to the inside) and steam (from the inside to the outside) with opposite flow directions, thereby helping to ensure air intake efficiency and steam discharge efficiency.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
