[0031] Example 1

[0032] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a self-priming iron with airflow separation capability is disclosed, hereinafter referred to as an "ironing machine". It includes a working body, on which a steam generator 3 and an air intake device 4 are provided. The air intake device 4 has an air intake channel 41, an air intake fan assembly 5, an air intake motor 6, and an exhaust channel 42. The air intake motor 6 is configured to drive the air intake fan assembly 5 to generate suction. The air intake channel 41 is connected to the exhaust channel 42. The air intake fan assembly 5 draws in air from the air intake channel 41 and discharges it from the exhaust channel 42. The air intake fan assembly 5 is located at the connection between the air intake channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42, and can guide the air entering the air intake channel 41 directly into the exhaust channel 42.

[0033] In this embodiment, the ironing machine also includes a handle for the operator to hold; the main body has a main body shell 7, and a steam generator 3 and an air suction device 4 are disposed inside the main body shell 7; the handle has a handle shell 8, and the handle shell 8 is connected to the main body shell 7.

[0034] 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°.

[0035] In this embodiment, the intake channel 41 and the steam generator 3 are isolated by an isolation plate, which can be independent or integrated with the intake channel. That is, the main body shell 7 contains a steam generating chamber, in which the steam generator 3 is installed, and the steam generating chamber is separated from the intake channel 41 by the isolation plate, ensuring that the two are not interconnected. The front working surface of the main body has a steam outlet 31 and an air inlet 21. Steam generated by the steam generator 3 is ejected from the steam outlet 31, and the air inlet 21 is connected to the intake channel 41. Furthermore, the air inlet 21 is located below the steam outlet 31. This structural arrangement prevents the airflow from carrying away the heat from the steam generator 3, reducing heat loss.

[0036] 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 outer shell 7, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air duct housing 43 serves as a partition between the air intake channel 41 and the steam generator 3. Specifically, the main body shell 7 is provided with air duct housing 43 and air duct housing 44. The space formed by the air duct housing 43 and air duct housing 44 after they are fastened together includes the air intake channel 41 and the mounting chamber. The air intake channel 41 is located at the front of the main body, and the mounting chamber is located at the rear of the main body. The air intake channel 41 communicates with the mounting chamber, and the air intake device 4 is installed in the mounting chamber. The exhaust channel 42 is formed between the outer wall of the air duct housing 43 and the inner wall of the main body shell 7. Specifically, a non-communicating steam generator chamber and exhaust channel 42 are formed between the outer wall of the air duct housing 43 and the inner wall of the main body shell 7. The exhaust channel 42 is located above the mounting chamber and communicates with the mounting chamber.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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 opened on the ironing heat spreader 2.

[0042] 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 suction fan assembly 5, and is completely discharged directly into the exhaust channel 42 through the exhaust port 71. The gas does not pass through the suction motor 6. Alternatively, some gas enters the exhaust channel 42, and the remaining gas enters the suction motor 6 and then enters the exhaust channel 42, being discharged through the exhaust port 71. Because the vast majority of the gas does not pass through the suction motor 6, the motor life is improved.

[0043] In this embodiment, the intake fan blade assembly 5 can be an axial flow fan blade 51, a regular fan blade, or a turbine fan blade 52.

[0044] In one alternative embodiment, the turbine fan blade 52 is equipped with a shroud 53. Specifically, the intake fan assembly 5 includes a turbine fan blade 52 and a shroud 53. The turbine fan blade 52 is located inside the shroud 53 and connected to the drive shaft of the intake motor 6. The turbine fan blade 52 rotates under the drive of the intake motor 6 to provide intake power during operation. The shroud 53 is provided with an air guide port, which connects the intake channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42. The intake motor 6 is located outside the exhaust channel 42. The air guide port guides the airflow generated by the rotation of the turbine fan blade 52 directly into the exhaust channel 42. When the turbine 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 shroud 53 and the turbine 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.

[0045] In one alternative embodiment, the turbine blade 52 includes N blades 521, where N is an integer and N≥3.

[0046] 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.

[0047] Specifically, the turbine blade 52 is arranged facing the intake channel 41, and the inlet end of the shroud 53 extends into the intake channel 41. The turbine blade 52 and the shroud 53 are located at the outlet end of the intake channel 41. The air guide port on the shroud 53 connects the intake channel 41 and the exhaust channel 42, and the air guide port on the shroud 53 is arranged close to the turbine blade 52. This structure allows gas to enter the intake channel 41 from the outside, pass through the turbine blade 52, and directly enter the exhaust channel 42 for discharge (gas enters the intake channel 41 from the outside, passes through the intake blade assembly 5, and is completely discharged into the exhaust channel 42, or partially discharged into the exhaust channel 42). The vast majority of the gas does not pass through the intake motor 6, thereby improving the motor's lifespan.

[0048] 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, and then through the suction channel 41, turbine fan blade 52, and exhaust channel 42 through the exhaust port 71 to prevent burns.

[0049] 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 and the suction fan assembly 5, the steam is discharged through the exhaust channel 42 and the exhaust port 71 to achieve a secondary ironing effect and improve ironing efficiency.

[0050] Compared with existing technologies, the self-suction ironing machine with airflow separation provided in this embodiment truly achieves garment steaming. The self-suction function eliminates the need for someone to hold the garment, 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 does not require someone to hold the garment, and direct suction significantly improves ironing efficiency and shortens ironing time.
