Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model pertains to steam ironing equipment, specifically relating to a cable storage structure for ironing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Ironing equipment obtains power through a power cord and typically generates heat for ironing clothes. Separate-type ironing equipment also includes a steam hose for delivering steam. When storing ironing equipment, the power cord and, if present, the steam hose cannot be neatly organized, often becoming a hindrance.
[0003] Some ironing equipment uses a folding hole to hold the ironing thread, which is inconvenient to operate. Moreover, since the diameter and depth of the folding hole are fixed, if the thread cannot be folded properly, it may not fit completely into the folding hole, or it may easily come out of the hole due to lack of restraint. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by this utility model is to overcome the defect that existing ironing equipment cannot reliably store ironing cords, and to provide an ironing equipment cord storage structure, which aims to simplify the operation of storing ironing cords and to reliably store ironing cords.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an ironing equipment cord storage structure, comprising a main body, characterized in that: a fastening member is provided for the main body, the fastening member being attached to the main body to bind and store the ironing equipment cord between the fastening member and the main body.
[0006] This cord storage structure uses a tightening device to bind and store the ironing device cord between the tightening device and the main body. Therefore, the cord can be folded and coiled first, and then the tightening device can be attached to the main body to store and restrain the cord, making it easy to operate.
[0007] This wire storage structure utilizes the binding characteristics of the fastening element to deform according to the shape of the wire and bind and store the wire between the fastening element and the main body, so that the wire is close to the main body, kept neat, and reliably stored.
[0008] Preferably, the fastening element is a flexible element. When using the fastening element to bind and store the wire, the deformation of the flexible element can be used to adapt to the contour of the folded wire, reliably restraining the wire and preventing it from loosening.
[0009] Preferably, the tightening element is an elastic element, which maintains tension to bind and hold the ironing device's cord between the tightening element and the main body. Because the tightening element is elastic, it can always maintain tension to hold and restrain the cord, preventing it from slackening. The elastic element has greater deformation capacity, thus it can automatically adjust to tighten the cord according to the shape and contour of the coiled and folded cord.
[0010] Preferably, the fastening element is in the form of a ring. It can fasten the wire from multiple points.
[0011] Preferably, the fastener is provided with a pinching part. This allows the fastener to be hooked onto the hook part by pinching the pinching part to store the cable.
[0012] Preferably, the side of the main body has a recess for accommodating the cord, and the tightening member crosses the recess to restrain the cord of the ironing device within the recess. This prevents the cord from protruding from the main body and causing irregularities when storing it.
[0013] In some embodiments, the fastening member is fixed to the bottom of the body and extends a free section to the side of the body. The free section is attached to the body to restrain the cord of the ironing device. Accordingly, the fastening section is always attached to the body and does not separate from the body, thus avoiding loss.
[0014] In other embodiments, the fastening element is configured separately from the main body. During ironing, the fastening element is separated from the main body; when stored, the fastening element adheres to the main body to bind the cord.
[0015] To facilitate tensioning of the fastening element, different structures can be adopted in different embodiments. One structure has a hook portion on the main body, on which the fastening element hooks to secure the wire. Another structure has a slot and a pin separately configured on the main body and the fastening element, with the pin inserted into the slot to secure the wire. A third structure has pairs of latches on the fastening element, which engage to secure the wire.
[0016] Preferably, fastening members are provided on both sides of the main body. This is used to accommodate cables on both sides of the main body.
[0017] Preferably, the ironing device includes a power cord. That is, the power cord can be secured and stored by a fastening device attached to the main body.
[0018] Preferably, the ironing device includes a steam hose. That is, the steam hose can be secured and stored by a fastening device attached to the main body.
[0019] Preferably, the ironing device includes a main unit and a handheld iron placed on the main unit. The main unit serves as the main body and is equipped with a power cord. The handheld iron is connected to the main unit via a steam pipe.
[0020] Preferably, the handheld iron is secured to the main body by a tensioned fastener. This maintains the stability of the handheld iron on the main body and facilitates storage and transportation.
[0021] This utility model provides a fastening component to the main body. The fastening component is attached to the main body to bind and store the ironing equipment cord between the fastening component and the main body. The cord can be folded and coiled first, and then the fastening component is attached to the main body to store and restrain the cord, which is easy to operate.
[0022] The wire storage structure of this utility model utilizes the binding characteristics of the binding member. When storing wires, it can deform according to the shape of the wire and bind and store the wire between the binding member and the main body, so that the wire is close to the main body, keeps it neat, and is reliably stored.
[0023] This invention imparts elasticity to the fastening element, enabling it to always maintain elastic tension to hold and constrain the wire, preventing the wire from loosening. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as a method or product that includes a series of technical features, not limited to those technical features explicitly listed, but also including other technical features that may be included in the method or product but not explicitly listed.
[0040] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] Figure 1 An ironing device cord storage structure is shown, comprising a main body 100, on which a fastening member 200 and a hook portion 101 are disposed. The fastening member 200 is as follows: Figure 2-4 The hook shown is used to secure and store the ironing equipment cord between the fastening member 200 and the main body 100. This keeps the cord neat and prevents it from becoming loose. Because this cord storage structure stores the cord by hooking the fastening member onto the hook, the cord can be folded and coiled first, and then stored by hooking the fastening member onto the hook, making it easy to operate. Utilizing the fastening characteristics of the fastening member, this cord storage structure can deform according to the shape of the cord and secure it between the fastening member and the main body, keeping the cord close to the main body, neat, and reliably stored.
[0043] Specifically, the fastening member 200 is an elastic member. When the fastening member is hooked onto the hook portion to store the wire, the elastic member can maintain its elastic tension, preventing the wire from loosening. In particular, the elastic member has a greater deformation capacity, so it can adjust itself to tighten the wire according to the shape of the coiled and folded wire. Furthermore, the fastening member is ring-shaped. It can tighten the wire from multiple points. The fastening member 200 is also provided with a pinching part 201, which is preferably an injection-molded part, so that the fastening member can be hooked onto the hook portion by hand to store the wire.
[0044] Figure 1-4In the structure shown, the side of the main body 100 has a recess 102 for accommodating the cord. The fastening member 200 extends across the recess 102 to restrain the cords (power cord 300 and steam pipe 400) of the ironing equipment within the recess. This prevents the cord from protruding from the main body and causing irregularities when storing it. The fastening member 200 is fixed to the bottom of the main body 100 and extends freely to the side of the main body. The free section hooks onto the hook portion and is attached to the main body to restrain the cords of the ironing equipment. The hook portion 101 is located above the recess 102, and the fastening member 200 extends across the recess 102 when hooked onto the hook portion 101. This structure facilitates hooking the fastening member onto the hook portion and reliably restrains the cord within the recess.
[0045] As described above, when the ironing device cord includes a power cord 300, the cord storage structure can be used to store the power cord 300. When the ironing device cord includes a steam pipe 400, the cord storage structure can also be used to store the steam pipe 400. Furthermore, fastening members 200 and recesses 102 are provided on both sides of the main body 100 to separately and securely store the power cord 300 and the steam pipe 400 on both sides of the main body 100.
[0046] Figure 2-4 The ironing device shown is a modular tabletop ironing device, comprising a main unit and a handheld iron 500 placed on the main unit. The handheld iron 500 can be placed on the upper part 103 of the main unit. The main unit serves as the main body and is equipped with a power cord 300. The handheld iron 500 is connected to the main unit via a steam pipe 400. During operation, the power cord is plugged into a power outlet, and the main unit heats water to produce steam. The steam is then delivered to the handheld iron via the steam pipe, allowing the user to iron clothes. During ironing breaks or after ironing, the handheld iron 500 is placed on the upper part 103 of the main unit. The power cord 300 and steam pipe 400 are coiled and folded into the recesses 102 on both sides of the main unit. The fastening element 200 is hooked onto the hook part 101, effectively binding the power cord and steam pipe to the main unit. This design allows for convenient storage, and the cords remain neat and tangle-free.
[0047] In this embodiment, the fastening member 200 can bypass the handheld iron 500 and hook onto the hook on the opposite side, thereby binding the handheld iron 500 to the main body 100 by the tensioned fastening member, which helps to prevent the handheld iron from shaking relative to the main body during storage and transportation.
[0048] This approach can also be used in other ironing equipment, such as garment steamers that also include a main unit and a handheld iron. The main unit of the garment steamer serves as the core and is equipped with a power cord, while the handheld iron is connected to the main unit via a steam pipe.
[0049] Steam brushes and electric irons with an integrated structure, where the steam brush or electric iron itself is the main body and is equipped with a power cord, can also be secured by fastening parts and hooks on the main body. The fastening parts can be hooked onto the hooks to bind and store the ironing equipment cord between the fastening parts and the main body.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the way the fastening member 200 is attached to the main body. In this embodiment, the main body 100 is provided with a slot 104, and the fastening member 200 is inserted into the slot 104 via an attached pin 202 and thus attached to the main body, thereby binding and storing the ironing device cord between the fastening member and the main body. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1 and will not be described in detail.
[0052] In this embodiment, the fastening member 200 can bypass the handheld iron 500 and be inserted into the slot on the opposite side via a pin to attach to the main body. Accordingly, the handheld iron 500 is bound to the main body 100 by the tensioned fastening member, which helps to prevent the handheld iron from shaking relative to the main body during storage and transportation.
[0053] In this embodiment, the slot and the pin can be interchanged.
[0054] Example 3
[0055] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the way the fastening member 200 is attached to the main body. In this embodiment, the fastening member 200 is equipped with a pair of latches, which are male latches 203 and female latches 204. The male latch 203 is inserted into the female latch 204 to achieve docking and attach to the main body to bind the cord. Accordingly, the cord of the ironing device is bound and stored between the fastening member and the main body. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1 and will not be described in detail.
[0056] In this embodiment, a male buckle can be provided on the fastening member 200 on one side of the main body, and a female buckle can be provided on the fastening member 200 on the other side of the main body. The fastening member 200 can bypass the handheld iron 500 and be connected to the main body by inserting the male buckle into the female buckle to bind the cord. Accordingly, the handheld iron 500 is bound to the main body 100 by the tensioned fastening member, which helps to prevent the handheld iron from shaking relative to the main body during storage and transportation.
[0057] In other embodiments, the fastening element can be configured separately from the main body. In this case, as in Embodiment 1, a hook portion is provided on the main body, and the fastening element hooks onto the hook portion to maintain tension; or as in Embodiment 2, slots and pins are separately configured on the main body and the fastening element, with the pin inserted into the slot to secure the wire; or as in Embodiment 3, pairs of latches are configured on the fastening element, and the pairs of latches engage to secure the wire. Furthermore, the fastening element can be single, two, or multiple.
[0058] In other embodiments, the fastening member can be a flexible member. When binding and storing the wire, the deformation of the flexible member can be used to adapt to the contour of the folded wire, reliably restraining the wire and preventing it from coming loose.
