[0036] Example 1

[0037] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ironing machine with turbine centrifugal self-priming assistance is disclosed, which can be simply referred to as "ironing machine" below. It includes a working body and a handle, the handle being for the operator to hold; the working body has a main body shell 7 and a steam generating device 3 and a suction device 4 disposed in the main body shell 7; the handle has a handle shell 8, the handle shell 8 being connected to the main body shell 7;

[0038] The suction device 4 includes a suction channel 41, a suction assembly 5, a suction motor 6, and an exhaust channel 42. The suction motor 6 provides power to the suction assembly 5, which draws in gas through the suction channel 41 and discharges it through the exhaust channel 42. The suction assembly 5 includes a turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 and a fan shroud 53. The turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 is located inside the fan shroud 53 and connected to the drive shaft of the suction motor 6. The turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 rotates under the drive of the suction motor 6 to provide suction power during operation. The fan shroud 53 is provided with an air guide port, which connects the suction channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42. The suction motor 6 is located outside the exhaust channel 42. The air guide port guides the airflow generated by the rotation of the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 directly into the exhaust channel 42. When the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 rotates under the drive of the intake motor 6, the gas enters the intake channel 41 from the outside, passes through the fan shroud 53 and the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52, and directly enters the exhaust channel 42 for discharge. Most of the gas does not pass through the intake motor 6, thus improving the motor's lifespan.

[0039] In one alternative embodiment, the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 includes N fan blades 521, where N is an integer and N≥3.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, the fan blade 521 is coaxially arranged with the fan housing 53, and the fan blade 521 is located inside the fan housing 53. The distance between the fan blade 521 and the fan housing 53 is 0.1-3 mm, where the distance refers to the minimum gap between the outline edge of the fan blade 521 and the inner wall of the fan housing 53. Preferably, the distance between the fan blade 521 and the fan housing 53 is 0.5 mm. This structural parameter can effectively increase wind pressure to improve the flow rate generated by the fan blade. At the same time, it can better control wind noise.

[0041] In this embodiment, the intake channel 41 and the steam generator 3 are isolated. That is, a steam generating chamber is provided inside the main body shell 7, and the steam generator 3 is installed in the steam generating chamber. The steam generating chamber and the intake channel 41 are not connected. A steam outlet 31 and an air inlet 21 are provided on the front working surface of the main body. The steam generated by the steam generator 3 is ejected from the steam outlet 31. The air inlet 21 is connected to the intake channel 41 and is located below the steam outlet 31. This structure ensures that the airflow does not carry away the temperature of the steam generator 3, reducing the heat loss of the steam generator 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the intake channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42 are cavities composed of a first air duct housing 43, a second air duct housing 44, and a main body shell 7. Specifically, the main body shell 7 contains a first air duct housing 43 and a second air duct housing 44. The space formed by the first air duct housing 43 and the second air duct housing 44 after they are fastened together includes an intake channel 41 and an installation chamber. The intake channel 41 is located at the front of the main body, and the installation chamber is located at the rear of the main body. The intake channel 41 communicates with the installation chamber, and an intake device 4 is installed in the installation chamber. The exhaust channel 42 is formed between the outer wall of the first air duct housing 43 and the inner wall of the main body shell 7. Specifically, a non-communicating steam generating chamber and an exhaust channel 42 are formed between the outer wall of the first air duct housing 43 and the inner wall of the main body shell 7. The exhaust channel 42 is located above the installation chamber and communicates with the installation chamber.

[0043] Specifically, the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 is arranged facing the intake channel 41, and the inlet end of the fan shroud 53 extends into the intake channel 41. The turbine centrifugal fan blade 52 and the fan shroud 53 are located at the outlet end of the intake channel 41. The air guide port on the fan shroud 53 connects the intake channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42, and the air guide port on the fan shroud 53 is arranged close to the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52. This structural arrangement allows gas to enter the intake channel 41 from the outside, pass through the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52, and directly enter the exhaust channel 42 for discharge. The vast majority of the gas does not pass through the intake motor 6, thus improving the motor's lifespan.

[0044] In this embodiment, the main body shell 7 is provided with an exhaust port 71, which is connected to the exhaust channel 42. The exhaust port 71 and the air inlet 21 can be a large ventilation hole or multiple ventilation holes arranged together. Preferably, the total effective exhaust area of ​​the exhaust port 71 is 1-5 times the total effective air intake area of ​​the air inlet 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, the handle is provided with a water supply device, which has a water tank 11 and an electromagnetic pump 14. The water in the water tank 11 enters the steam generator 3 through the electromagnetic pump 14.

[0046] Preferably, the water tank 11 is detachably connected to the lower end of the handle. For example, the water tank 11 is connected to the lower end of the handle by a snap-fit ​​10 or by screwing.

[0047] In this embodiment, the ironing machine also includes an electronic control component 15, which is electrically connected to the suction motor 6, the steam generator 3, and the electromagnetic pump 14. The electronic control component 15 controls the normal operation of the suction motor 6, the steam generator 3, and the electromagnetic pump 14. The electromagnetic pump 14 and the electronic control component 15 are housed within the handle housing 8 via a first fixed bracket 12 and a second fixed bracket 13, and are fixed between the first fixed bracket 12 and the second fixed bracket 13. The handle also has a button 9, which is electrically connected to the electronic control component 15. There can be one or more buttons 9, which control the working status of the ironing machine.

[0048] In this embodiment, the front end of the working body is provided with an ironing heat spreader 2, which serves as the front working surface of the working body. The ironing heat spreader 2 is connected to the steam generator 3 to provide heat to the ironing heat spreader 2. The air inlet 21 and the steam outlet 31 are located on the ironing heat spreader 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air inlet 21 is equipped with a dustproof device 1. Optionally, the dustproof device can be detachably mounted on the ironing heat spreader 2, allowing the dustproof device 1 to be removed from the ironing heat spreader 2 for cleaning. Gas enters the dustproof device 1 from the outside through the air inlet 21, then enters the suction channel 41, passes through the turbine centrifugal fan 52, and directly enters the exhaust channel 42 and is discharged through the exhaust port 71. Most of the gas does not pass through the suction motor 6, thereby improving the motor's lifespan.

[0050] For ease of operation, when the handle is vertical, the front working surface of the working body is tilted upwards at an angle. Of course, the front working surface of the working body can also be arranged facing directly forward. For example, the angle between the axis of the working body and the axis of the handle is 80°-90°.

[0051] When clothes are not ironed, the steam generator 3 sprays steam from the steam outlet 31. The steam can be drawn into the dustproof device 1 by the suction device 4 through the suction port 21, through the suction channel 41, the turbine centrifugal fan 52, and the exhaust channel 42 through the exhaust port 71 to prevent burns.

[0052] When ironing clothes, the steam generator 3 sprays steam from the steam outlet 31. The steam passes through the clothes and is then drawn into the dustproof device 1 through the suction port 21 by the suction device 4. After passing through the suction channel 41, the turbine centrifugal fan blade 52, and the exhaust channel 42, the steam is discharged through the exhaust port 71 to achieve a secondary ironing effect and improve ironing efficiency.

[0053] Compared with existing technologies, the ironing machine with turbine centrifugal self-suction assistance provided in this embodiment truly achieves garment steaming. The self-suction function eliminates the need for someone to hold the clothes, and the designed air intake and exhaust channels solve the problem of condensation. Moreover, the self-suction function has the advantages of preventing burns and providing a second ironing effect. It has a simple structure, smaller size, and is easy to carry. Ironing efficiency is significantly improved by directly absorbing and steaming the clothes, without the need for someone to hold them, thus shortening ironing time.

[0054] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this application. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
