Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, specifically to an ironing device. Background Technology

[0002] The explosive steam ironing equipment produces a large amount of steam, with a long spray distance and strong penetration, making it suitable for ironing stubborn creases and thicker clothing.

[0003] Currently available pressurized ironing equipment poses significant safety risks: whether in use or when powered off, the pressurization line remains open. Pressing the pressurization button continuously supplies water into the evaporator, causing water to accumulate inside and spray out. Furthermore, when the product is used again after a power outage, the evaporator is rapidly heated, causing the hot water inside to be quickly sprayed out as scalding droplets, posing a significant safety hazard to users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an ironing device that can solve the problem of water accumulation inside the evaporator.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] An ironing device, comprising:

[0007] Water tank;

[0008] An evaporator for evaporating liquid supplied by a water tank, the evaporator being equipped with a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the evaporator;

[0009] A control valve is connected to the outlet of the water tank. The control valve is equipped with a signal receiver that is connected to the temperature sensor. When the temperature of the evaporator is higher than or equal to T, the signal receiver receives the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor to connect or disconnect the pipeline A between the water tank and the evaporator.

[0010] A booster pump is installed on pipeline a between the control valve and the evaporator to supply liquid from the water tank to the evaporator.

[0011] The ironing device described above also includes:

[0012] Pipe B connects to the water tank at one end and to the evaporator at the other end;

[0013] A low-pressure pump, installed on the pipeline B, is used to supply the liquid in the water tank to the evaporator;

[0014] The output pressure of the low-pressure pump is less than the output pressure of the booster pump.

[0015] As described above, the ironing device has an A mist hole connected to pipe A and a B mist hole connected to pipe B.

[0016] In the ironing device described above, there are several B mist holes arranged around the A mist holes.

[0017] In the ironing device described above, the B mist hole is symmetrically arranged around the A mist hole along the central axis of the A mist hole.

[0018] In the ironing device described above, the diameter of the A mist hole is larger than the diameter of the B mist hole.

[0019] As described above, the evaporator of the ironing device includes a front cover and a middle layer. The B mist hole is provided on the front cover, and a guide channel is provided on the middle layer. The guide channel is connected to the pipe B and the guide channel is connected to the B mist hole.

[0020] As described above, in the ironing device, the guide channel meanders and covers the area of ​​the B mist holes.

[0021] In the ironing equipment described above, the control valve is a solenoid valve.

[0022] As described above, the ironing device further includes a housing fitted over the control valve and the booster pump. The housing has a through hole, and a button connected to the valve of the control valve is mounted on the through hole. The button can move axially along the through hole to open and close the valve of the control valve.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] An ironing device is provided. When a temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the evaporator is higher than or equal to a value T, a signal receiver receives the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor, a control valve opens, and a booster pump starts to supply water from the water tank to the evaporator along pipe A. The evaporator evaporates the liquid supplied from the water tank and sprays water to iron clothes. When the temperature sensor detects that the evaporator temperature is lower than the value T, the control valve shuts off the water supply from the water tank, the booster pump continues to operate, and supplies the remaining water in pipe A to the evaporator. The residual heat of the evaporator evaporates the remaining water in pipe A, thus preventing water from accumulating inside the evaporator. When the product is used again after a power outage, if the evaporator temperature has not reached the value T, no water will spray out from inside the evaporator, improving the safety performance of the ironing device.

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An ironing device includes: a water tank 1, an evaporator 2, and a control valve 3 or a booster pump 4; wherein, the evaporator 2 is used to evaporate the liquid supplied by the water tank 1, and the evaporator 2 is equipped with a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) for sensing the temperature of the evaporator 2; the control valve 3 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 1, and the control valve 3 is equipped with a signal receiver (not shown in the figure) that is connected to the temperature sensor; when the temperature of the evaporator 2 is higher than or equal to a value T, the signal receiver receives the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor to connect or disconnect the pipeline A between the water tank 1 and the evaporator 2; the booster pump 4 is located on pipeline a between the control valve 3 and the evaporator 2, and is used to supply the liquid in the water tank 1 to the evaporator 2.

[0033] To illustrate the technical solution of this embodiment, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the evaporator 2 is higher than or equal to 160° (i.e., T value), the signal receiver receives the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor, the control valve 3 opens, and the booster pump 4 starts to supply water in the water tank 1 to the evaporator 2 along pipe A. The evaporator 2 evaporates the liquid supplied by the water tank 1 and sprays water to iron clothes. When the temperature sensor detects that the evaporator temperature is lower than 160°, the control valve shuts off the water supply in the water tank 1, and the booster pump 4 continues to operate, supplying the remaining water in pipe a to the evaporator 2. The residual heat of the evaporator 2 evaporates the remaining water in pipe a, thus avoiding water accumulation inside the evaporator 2. When the product is used again after a power outage, the evaporator temperature has not reached 160°, and no water will spray out from inside the evaporator 2, improving the safety performance of the ironing equipment.

[0034] The explosive steam has high pressure and a large jet volume, which can penetrate deep into the fibers of clothing, softening the fibers in stubborn wrinkles and effectively smoothing out deep wrinkles that are difficult to handle with ordinary steam. Ordinary steam can moisten and heat the entire garment, improving its overall smoothness and loosening the fibers initially, laying the foundation for the deep treatment of the explosive steam. The combination of the two can make the garment smoother and crisper, improving the ironing quality.

[0035] Preferably, the ironing device in this embodiment is a garment steamer.

[0036] In one embodiment, the ironing device further includes: a pipe B, one end of which is connected to a water tank 1 and the other end of which is connected to an evaporator 2; a low-pressure pump 5, which is installed on the pipe B and is used to supply liquid in the water tank 1 to the evaporator 2; wherein the output pressure of the low-pressure pump 5 is less than the output pressure of the booster pump 4, the pipe B is used to supply ordinary steam to the evaporator 2, and the pipe A is used to supply explosive steam to the evaporator 2, the evaporator 2 simultaneously sprays ordinary steam and explosive steam, improving the user experience and enhancing the ironing effect.

[0037] It is understood that the term "low pressure" in the low-pressure pump 5 in this embodiment means that its output pressure is less than that of the booster pump 4, rather than specifying the specific output pressure value of the low-pressure pump 5.

[0038] In one embodiment, the evaporator 2 is provided with an A mist hole connected to the pipeline A and a B mist hole connected to the pipeline B. The A mist hole is used to supply explosive steam, and the B mist hole is used to supply ordinary steam. The pipelines for ordinary steam and explosive steam are independent and do not interfere with each other, and can work simultaneously, further improving the user experience.

[0039] In one embodiment, there are several B mist holes arranged around the A mist holes. The explosive steam ejected from the B mist holes cooperates with the ordinary steam ejected from the surrounding A mist holes to achieve uniform steam distribution; after the explosive steam is ejected in the middle, the steam from the A and B mist holes replenishes and mixes with it, avoiding situations where the local steam concentration is too high or too low, which is conducive to the stable progress of the entire evaporation process.

[0040] In one embodiment, the B mist hole is symmetrically arranged around the A mist hole along the central axis, further improving the uniformity of the mixing of explosive steam and ordinary steam, and improving the ironing quality.

[0041] In one embodiment, the aperture of the A mist hole is larger than that of the B mist hole, and the amount of explosive vapor emitted from a single mist hole is large, effectively smoothing out wrinkles in clothing.

[0042] In one embodiment, the evaporator 2 includes a front cover 21 and a middle layer 22. The B mist hole is disposed on the front cover 21, and the middle layer 22 is provided with a guide channel 221. The guide channel 221 is connected to the pipe B and the guide channel 221 is connected to the B mist hole.

[0043] Understandably, a pipe B connects to multiple B mist holes through a flow guide channel 221. The flow guide channel 221 is used to guide the water in the pipe B through each B mist hole, forming a stable flow near the B mist hole, improving the uniformity and consistency of steam in each B mist hole, and resulting in better ironing effect.

[0044] In one embodiment, the guide channel 221 is meandering and covers the area of ​​the B mist holes. Without the guide channel 221, when the low-pressure pump 5 stops working, a large amount of water will accumulate between the front cover 21 and the middle layer 22, easily spraying water droplets and wetting clothes upon the next start-up. However, the meandering guide channel 221 within the middle layer 22 satisfies the water demand of the B mist holes without causing excessive water accumulation between the front cover 21 and the middle layer 22, resulting in better ironing performance.

[0045] In one embodiment, the control valve 3 is a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve can be quickly energized and de-energized to rapidly switch pipeline A on and off, and precisely adjust the liquid flow rate in pipeline A.

[0046] In one embodiment, the ironing device further includes a housing 6 fitted over the control valve 3 and the booster pump 4. The housing 6 has a through hole 61, and a button 62 connected to the valve of the control valve 3 is mounted on the through hole 61. The button 62 can move axially along the through hole 61 to open and close the valve of the control valve 3.

[0047] Button 62 is pressed by the user to freely control the release and shut-off of the explosive steam. Furthermore, when the evaporator 2 has not reached the T value, even if the user presses button 62, there will be no water in pipe A to transport it, reducing the possibility of water droplets being sprayed out from the evaporator 2. This allows the user to freely control the release time of the explosive steam while ensuring the safety performance of the ironing equipment.

[0048] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
