[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] Ironing equipment is an electrical device used to iron clothes, making them smoother. Current ironing equipment is relatively large, typically consisting of an iron that comes into contact with the clothes and a steam generator connected to the iron. This makes it extremely inconvenient to carry, limiting its use to home use and making it very cumbersome.

[0027] Therefore, this utility model aims to provide an iron that can be detachably connected to a heat source generating device, such as a hair dryer, so that clothes can be ironed with the help of the heat source generating device, and only the iron itself needs to be carried. This greatly facilitates the carrying and use of the ironing device and has a wider range of applications.

[0028] To better illustrate an iron according to an embodiment of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Details are as follows:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an iron 100 provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes a housing 10 and at least one adjusting member 20 disposed on the housing 10. The housing 10 has an inlet 11, an outlet 12 and at least one ironing surface 13. The inlet 11 has a connection structure 14 that is detachably connected to a heat source medium generating device. The heat source medium (preferably hot air or hot steam) enters the housing 10 from the inlet 11 and transfers the heat source to the ironing surface 13 before being discharged from the outlet 12. Thus, clothes can be ironed with the help of the ironing surface 13. The heat source medium generating device is a hair dryer or a steam generator.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments of this example, the housing 10 is specifically designed in a disc shape. However, in actual implementation, it is not limited to this shape and can be customized according to actual usage requirements, appearance requirements, cost requirements, etc. The inlet 11 and the ironing surface 13 are located on opposite ends of the housing 10. Specifically, in use, the ironing surface 13 is located on the bottom surface, while the inlet 11 is located on the top surface. The outlet 12 is located on the outer side wall of the housing 10. This design is more conducive to ironing when connected to a hair dryer. Figures 4-5As shown, since the heat source medium (e.g., hot air from a hair dryer) enters from the top of the housing 10, it can directly radiate to the entire ironing surface 13 before exiting from the outlet 12 on the side wall, resulting in better heat transfer. Specifically, the outer wall of the housing 10 is provided with multiple outlets 12 evenly spaced along the circumference of the housing 10, i.e., a ring of outlets 12 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 10. This allows for more uniform discharge of the heat source medium, which in turn allows the ironing surface 13 to be heated more evenly by the heat source medium, thereby ensuring the uniformity of ironing and improving the ironing effect. In addition, in some other embodiments, multiple ironing surfaces can be provided according to different temperature distributions to achieve ironing effects at different temperatures.

[0032] Furthermore, in some optional embodiments, the inner wall of the ironing surface 13 can be further provided with a heat-conducting structure (not shown in the figure) to enhance heat transfer. The heat-conducting structure can be, for example, a heat-conducting honeycomb structure composed of a matrix of fins, guide pins, cylinders, etc., or it can be a heat-conducting adhesive coated on the inner wall of the ironing surface 13. The purpose is to improve heat transfer efficiency, allowing the ironing surface 13 to reach the ironing temperature more quickly. In specific implementations, the heat-conducting structure can be integrally extended outward from the inner wall of the ironing surface 13; or the heat-conducting structure can be a heat-conducting component installed on the inner wall of the ironing surface 13.

[0033] The adjusting element 20 is used to adjust the flow of the heat source medium at the inlet 11 and / or outlet 12 to regulate the ironing temperature of the ironing surface. In this embodiment, the adjusting element 20 is specifically set as one, mainly used to adjust the flow of the heat source medium at the outlet 12. Since the flow of the heat source medium directly affects the temperature conduction of the heat source medium on the ironing surface 13, the faster the flow, the shorter the heat contact time and the more limited the temperature transfer; conversely, the slower the flow, the longer the heat contact time and the better the temperature transfer effect. Therefore, by adjusting the flow of the heat source medium at the outlet 12, the ironing temperature of the ironing surface 13 can be adjusted. Based on the same principle, in other embodiments, the flow of the heat source medium at the inlet 11 can also be adjusted, or the flow of the heat source medium at both the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 can be adjusted simultaneously to achieve the purpose of adjusting the ironing temperature. Of course, in some other embodiments, the adjusting element 20 may not be provided, and the inlet and / or outlet may be designed with a fixed size. In this case, the temperature of the heat source medium can be adjusted by the heat source medium generating device, thereby adjusting the ironing temperature.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments of this example, to adjust the flow of the heat source medium at outlet 12, an adjusting member 20 is embedded in the outer wall of the housing 10 and can rotate circumferentially around the housing 10 to adjust the external connection of outlet 12, thereby adjusting the flow of the heat source medium. Specifically, the adjusting member 20 is provided with a plurality of through holes 21 equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the housing 10, with each through hole 21 and outlet 12 positioned opposite to each other. The through holes 21 can rotate with the adjusting member 20 circumferentially around the housing 10 to adjust the relative connection area between the through holes 21 and outlet 12, thereby adjusting the external connection of outlet 12. That is, by rotating the adjusting member 20, the relative position of through holes 21 and outlet 12 is changed. When outlet 12 and through holes 21 are perfectly aligned, the air outlet is at its largest. When outlet 12 and through holes 21 are misaligned, the greater the misalignment, the smaller outlet 12 becomes, thus achieving the adjustment purpose.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting structure 14 is specifically a detachable connecting structure, which can be, but is not limited to, magnetic, snap-fit, threaded, pin-type, sleeve, elastic sleeve, etc. It can be directionally designed according to the required target heat source medium generating device. For example, if it is compatible with hair dryers on the market, this detachable connecting structure can be designed according to the air outlet of the hair dryer, such as by setting it as a sleeve or magnetic attachment, thereby achieving compatibility with various hair dryers. Alternatively, a universal detachable connecting structure 14 can be designed to connect with various devices on the market that can generate heat media, such as by setting a high-temperature resistant elastic sleeve. Of course, a compatible hair dryer can also be designed based on the iron 100 of this utility model, so that they can be sold together, realizing the multi-functionality of ironing clothes and hair dryer.

[0036] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model designs an iron 100 that can be detachably connected to a heat source medium generating device, so that ironing can be achieved as long as a heat source medium is connected. For example, it can be directly connected to a hair dryer on the market to achieve ironing. This greatly facilitates the carrying and use of the ironing device and has a wider range of application scenarios. In addition, an adjustment component 20 is provided to regulate the flow of the heat source medium, thereby controlling the ironing temperature.
