Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production technology, and in particular to a cleaning structure for an iron base. Background Technology

[0002] As a core device for modern garment care, the iron's working principle relies on precise temperature control and the combined effect of steam. After the user sets the target temperature, the heating element is powered on and heats up, transferring heat to the aluminum alloy or ceramic soleplate. When the temperature sensor detects that the soleplate has reached the set threshold, the temperature control circuit automatically cuts off the power and enters a constant temperature state, at which point ironing can be safely performed.

[0003] In existing technologies, this working mechanism, which relies on high-temperature steam, becomes a catalyst for stubborn limescale buildup. Especially in high-intensity usage scenarios such as garment factories, industrial irons need to perform hundreds of steam jets daily. Calcium and magnesium ions in hard water undergo mineralization reactions under high-temperature conditions, continuously crystallizing on the inner walls of steam micropores at a rate of 0.1 mm per week. Limescale accumulation directly undermines the core function of the iron: First, it blocks steam channels. When the limescale coverage exceeds 30%, the steam flow rate decreases by more than 60%, resulting in uneven heating of clothing and a 45% surge in wrinkle retention. Second, it disrupts the temperature field. The thermal conductivity of limescale, at only 0.6 W / m·K, forces the local temperature of the soleplate to soar to the set value of 130%, which can melt silk fabric in just 3 seconds. Third, it increases energy consumption. A 1mm limescale layer increases thermal resistance by 400 times, causing a single iron to consume an additional 420 kWh of electricity annually. Even more serious is that traditional manual acid immersion or ultrasonic cleaning requires disassembling the base plate, which not only causes the production line to stop for 45 minutes per unit, but also causes the temperature control accuracy to deteriorate to ±35℃ after reassembly due to damage to the heat transfer medium, forming a vicious cycle of "cleaning-performance degradation". Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a cleaning structure for an iron chassis.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an iron chassis cleaning structure, comprising a main body, the main body including a protective shell, a fixing frame provided on the inner side of the protective shell, the inner side of the protective shell being fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing frame with bolts, a snap-fit ​​structure installed at the top of the protective shell, and transmission structures installed on both sides of the fixing frame, the transmission structure including a fixing plate, an absorbent sponge sheet provided at the top of the fixing plate, a cleaning brush provided at the top of the absorbent sponge sheet, an absorbent cotton rope provided at the bottom of the fixing plate, the absorbent cotton rope being fixedly connected to the bottom of the absorbent sponge sheet, a rack provided on both sides of the fixing plate, the rack being fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate with bolts, a gear provided at the toothed end of the rack, a rack being provided below the gear, the gear meshing with racks one and two, a fixing rod installed at one end of the gear, a transmission rod installed at the end of the fixing rod away from the gear, a dual-output shaft motor installed at the end of the transmission rod away from the fixing rod, and transmission rods installed at both ends of the dual-output shaft motor.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a base limiting member, a movable limiting member at one end of the base limiting member, limiting racks on both sides of the base limiting member, a limiting groove 1 on the inner side of the base limiting member, a limiting groove 2 on the side of the movable limiting member near the base limiting member, a rotary limiting switch mounted on the side of the movable limiting member away from the base limiting member, movable limiting buckles at both ends of the rotary limiting switch, a strip-shaped limiting member inside the movable limiting member, a limiting buckle at one end of the strip-shaped limiting member, a limiting groove on the side of the strip-shaped limiting member away from the limiting buckle, a movable limiting buckle movably snapping into the limiting groove, and a limiting post at the end of the strip-shaped limiting member near the limiting groove, with a spring mounted on the limiting post.

[0007] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is as follows: the rotation of the rotary limit switch installed on the movable limit component controls the locking or unlocking state of the movable limit buckle and the limit groove; the limit post installed on the side of the strip limit component away from the limit buckle can better provide the spring with a mounting fulcrum and guiding function; the limit racks on both sides of the base limit component can better engage and position with the strip limit component; after the strip limit component and the limit rack are engaged, the movable limit buckle can be engaged with the limit groove by rotating the limit switch to limit the strip limit component and prevent accidental disengagement.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing frame has a sliding groove 1 and a sliding groove 2 on both sides, and a detachable water tank is installed inside the fixing frame.

[0009] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that sliding groove one and sliding groove two can limit rack one and gear one, allowing rack one and gear one to achieve linear reciprocating motion.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the fixing frame and the detachable water tank is provided with a water outlet pipe, and the top of the water outlet pipe is equipped with a sealing cap.

[0011] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the wastewater generated during cleaning can be discharged through the water outlet pipe at the bottom of the detachable water tank, thereby enabling better cleaning of this utility model.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket has a mounting slot on the side away from the detachable water tank, and the dual-output shaft motor is installed in the mounting slot.

[0017] This invention improves the compatibility of the iron by designing a water channel cleaning structure and using an adaptive snap-fit ​​structure. At the same time, the mechanical brushing structure avoids the time wasted when disassembling the iron for cleaning, reducing the maintenance cost of industrial irons and also reducing production losses.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1-9As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning structure for the base of an iron 4, characterized in that the main body 1 includes a protective shell 11, a fixing frame 12 is provided on the inner side of the protective shell 11, and sliding grooves 13 and 14 are provided on both sides of the fixing frame 12. A detachable water tank 15 is installed inside the fixing frame 12. The inner side of the protective shell 11 and the outer side of the fixing frame 12 are fixedly connected by bolts. A snap-fit ​​structure 2 is installed at the top of the protective shell 11. A transmission structure 3 is installed on both sides of the fixing frame 12. The transmission structure 3 includes a fixing plate 31, an absorbent sponge sheet 32 ​​is provided at the top of the fixing plate 31, a cleaning brush 33 is provided at the top of the absorbent sponge sheet 32, and an absorbent cotton rope 34 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 31. The absorbent cotton rope 34 and the absorbent sponge sheet 34 are connected together. The bottom of plate 32 is fixedly connected. Both sides of the fixing plate 31 are provided with rack 35. Rack 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 31 with bolts. The toothed end of rack 35 is provided with gear 36. Below gear 36 is rack 37. Gear 36 is meshed with rack 35 and rack 37. Rack 37 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 12 with bolts. A fixing rod 38 is installed at one end of gear 36. A transmission rod 39 is installed at the end of fixing rod 38 away from gear 36. A dual-output shaft motor 310 is installed at the end of transmission rod 39 away from fixing rod 38. Both ends of dual-output shaft motor 310 are equipped with transmission rods 39. A detachable water tank 15 is installed inside the fixing frame 12. Dual-output shaft motor 310 is installed in the mounting slot 16.

[0035] In this embodiment, the dual-shaft motor 310 installed in the mounting slot 16 can better provide driving force, driving the transmission rods 39 installed at both ends to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rods 39 is linked to the rotation of the fixed rod 38 connected to it, which in turn drives the gear 36 installed at one end of the fixed rod 38 to rotate. The rotating gear 36 meshes with the toothed end of the rack 35 and the rack 37 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 12. Since the rack 35 is rigidly connected to one side of the fixed plate 31 by bolts, the rack 35 can drive the fixed plate 31 to perform linear reciprocating motion. The reciprocating motion of the fixed plate 31 synchronously drives the cleaning brush 33 installed on the top of the water-absorbing sponge sheet 32 ​​to clean. Through the water-absorbing cotton rope 34 installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 31, the capillary effect can be better utilized to draw cleaning liquid from the detachable water tank 15 and transfer it to the water-absorbing sponge sheet 32 ​​for storage. The cleaning liquid is continuously transferred to the cleaning brush 33 through the water-absorbing sponge sheet 32, providing the necessary moisture and cleaning ability to the cleaning brush 33, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 2-7As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 2 includes a base limiting member 21, a movable limiting member 22 at one end of the base limiting member 21, limiting racks 25 on both sides of the base limiting member 21, a limiting groove 23 on the inner side of the base limiting member 21, a limiting groove 24 on the side of the movable limiting member 22 near the base limiting member 21, and a rotary limiting switch 26 installed on the side of the movable limiting member 22 away from the base limiting member 21. Both ends of 6 are provided with movable limiting buckles 27. The interior of the movable limiting member 22 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting member 29. One end of the strip-shaped limiting member 29 is provided with a limiting buckle 210. The side of the strip-shaped limiting member 29 away from the limiting buckle 210 is provided with a limiting groove 28. One end of the movable limiting buckle 27 is movably engaged with the limiting groove 28. The end of the strip-shaped limiting member 29 near the limiting groove 28 is provided with a limiting post 211. A spring 212 is provided on the limiting post 211.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 23 and limiting groove 24 located inside the base limiting member 21 and the movable limiting member 22 provide better support and installation positioning for the iron 4 chassis. The limiting buckle 210 located at one end of the strip-shaped limiting member 29 inside the base limiting member 21 can directly engage with the limiting rack 25 on the base limiting member 21. The rotation of the rotary limiting switch 26 installed on the movable limiting member 22 controls the locking or unlocking state of the movable limiting buckle 27 and the limiting groove 28. The locking and unlocking state of the groove 27 is controlled by the rotation of the rotary limiting switch 26 installed on the movable limiting member 22 away from the limiting buckle 210. The side limiting post 211 can better provide the spring 212 with a mounting fulcrum and guiding function, and provide continuous elastic force for the strip limiting member 29 to ensure the snap-fit ​​effect and reset function. The limiting racks 25 on both sides of the base limiting member 21 can better snap-fit ​​and position with the strip limiting member 29. After the strip limiting member 29 snaps with the limiting rack 25, the movable limiting buckle 27 can be driven to snap with the limiting groove 28 by rotating the limiting switch 26 to limit the strip limiting member 29, so as to better realize the opening and closing of the base limiting member 21 and the movable limiting member 22 to adapt to the iron 4 base of different sizes.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] like Figure 1-9As shown, when using this utility model, first, rotate the rotary limit switch 26 on the operating latching structure 2. The rotation of the rotary limit switch 26 causes the movable limit buckles 27 at both ends to disengage from the limiting grooves 28 they engage with, causing the limit buckle 210 at one end of the strip-shaped limit member 29 to no longer engage with the limiting rack 25. At this time, drag the movable limit member 22 to align the slot above the iron 4 base with the first limiting groove 23 for installation. Push the movable limit member 22 to make the second limiting groove 24 engage with the iron 4. After the chassis is aligned with the rear, the rotary limit switch 26 is operated. Due to the rebound force of the spring 212, the strip-shaped limit piece 29 is pushed back to its original position, and the limit buckle 210 engages with the limit rack 25. At the same time, the movable limit piece 22 engages with the rack 25, thus firmly clamping the iron 4 onto the engaging structure 2 for cleaning. The dual-axis motor 310 is started, and the dual-axis motor 310 drives the transmission rods 39 at both ends to drive the gear 36 to rotate through the fixed rod 38. Since the gear 36 simultaneously engages with the rack 35 and the gear... The second rack 37 is engaged, and the second rack 37 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 12. The rotation of the gear 36 drives the first rack 35 to move linearly along the sliding groove 13. The first rack 35 is rigidly connected by a spiral and drives the fixed plate 31 to move back and forth along the sliding groove 13. The reciprocating motion of the fixed plate 31 drives the cleaning brush 33 to clean the bottom of the iron 4. During the cleaning process, the absorbent cotton rope 34 absorbs the cleaning liquid from the detachable water tank 15 using the capillary effect and transfers it to the absorbent sponge 32 for storage. The cleaning liquid is continuously transferred to the cleaning brush 33 through the absorbent sponge 32, providing the necessary moisture and cleaning ability for the cleaning brush 33. After cleaning, the dual output shaft motor 310 is turned off and the rotation limit switch 26 is operated again to release the limit of the movable limit member 22, and the cleaned iron 4 can be removed. The wastewater generated during cleaning can be discharged from the detachable water tank 15 through the water outlet pipe 18 through the rotating sealing cover 17. Alternatively, the detachable water tank 15 can be removed separately for cleaning.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
