Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ironing machine technology, and in particular to a switching device for ironing machines. Background Technology

[0002] "Ironing machine" is a general term that refers to professional or household equipment that uses a combination of steam, heat, and pressure (or suction) to smooth, shape, and remove wrinkles from clothing, fabrics, or other textiles.

[0003] Professional ironing machines typically include a frame with an ironing board featuring mesh or air holes, and a rotating pressure device on the frame that uses a steam iron to perform the ironing action.

[0004] However, when ironing specific garment pieces, it is necessary to use ironing boards and steam irons for the corresponding parts. Existing ironing machines often can only handle the ironing of a single part, resulting in the need for multiple ironing machines. On the one hand, this takes up a lot of space, and on the other hand, unnecessary parts consume steam, causing energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a switching device for an ironing machine.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a switching device for an ironing machine, including a frame, a grooved track on the frame, an ironing section on the grooved track, a pressing plate on the frame, the pressing plate pressing above a steam iron, and a steam pipe on the pressing plate; the grooved track includes upper and lower layers, the ironing section includes several vertical rods arranged between the upper and lower layers of the grooved track, several different lower ironing platforms are arranged at the lower end of the vertical rods, and steam irons corresponding to the lower ironing platforms are slidably arranged at the upper end of the vertical rods, with springs arranged between the steam irons and the lower ironing platforms.

[0007] The pressing plate is further configured such that: the pressing plate includes a rear end, an expansion portion is provided on the front side of the rear end, a panel portion is provided at the front end of the expansion portion, and the panel portion is provided with multiple perforations; the steam iron includes a front end, a contact portion is provided above the front end; the panel portion abuts against the contact portion.

[0008] Further configuration: an air suction pipe is provided on the outer ring of the pressing plate, and an air suction fan is provided on the frame, with the air suction pipe connected to the air suction fan.

[0009] The vertical rod is further configured such that its cross-section is rectangular.

[0010] A further configuration is provided: a rotating motor is installed on the frame, and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor is fixed to one side of the pressing plate.

[0011] Further configuration: A sprocket structure is provided on the grooved track, and the ironing part is located on the sprocket structure.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the switching device of the ironing machine of the present invention enables the rapid switching of multiple corresponding steam irons and ironing plates, which saves space on the one hand, and saves energy by setting the corresponding steam release rate according to the shape of different steam irons and ironing plates.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The switching device of the ironing machine includes a frame 1, a grooved track 2 on the frame 1, a chain on the grooved track 2, and sprocket structures 21 at both ends of the grooved track 2. The sprockets are driven by a drive motor to realize the reciprocating or cyclical movement of the chain.

[0018] A base is mounted on the frame 1, and a rotary motor 19 is mounted on the base. A pressing plate 4 is mounted on the rotating shaft 20 of the rotary motor 19. When the rotary motor 19 drives the rotating shaft 20, it can cause the pressing plate 4 to perform a downward pressing action with the rotating shaft 20 as the center. A steam pipe 6 is mounted on the pressing plate 4, and steam is supplied from the outside.

[0019] An ironing section 3 is provided on the chain of the grooved track 2. The ironing section 3 includes several vertical rods 7 arranged between the upper and lower layers of the grooved track 2. The two ends of the vertical rods 7 are fixed to the chain, and the vertical rods 7 are arranged in pairs. A lower ironing table 8 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the two vertical rods 7 in the same group. There can be multiple lower ironing tables 8, and they are all different. Preferably, there can be three lower ironing tables 8.

[0020] A steam iron 95 corresponding to the lower ironing board 8 is slidably mounted on the upper end of the vertical rod 7 in the vertical direction, and a spring 10 is provided between the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing board 8. When the pressure plate 4 is pressed down, it presses on top of the steam iron 95.

[0021] The pressing plate 4 includes a rear end portion 11, with an expansion portion 12 on its front side. A panel portion 13 is located at the front end of the expansion portion 12, and the panel portion 13 has multiple perforations 14. The steam iron 95 includes a front end portion 15, with a contact portion 16 located above it. When the pressing plate 4 is pressed down, the panel portion 13 contacts the contact portion 16, and steam permeates through the perforations 14. Conventionally, a fabric layer is provided to cover the contact portion 16 and the lower ironing plate 8 of the steam iron 95.

[0022] A suction pipe 17 is provided on the outer ring of the pressing plate 4, and a suction fan 18 is provided on the frame 1. The suction pipe 17 is connected to the suction fan 18. The suction pipe 17 here is a conventional setting, and multiple holes are provided on its inner side to absorb excess steam.

[0023] The vertical rod 7 has a rectangular cross-section, so that the two vertical rods 7 on the left and right can limit the steam iron 95 which moves up and down in the vertical direction, and prevent it from deflecting.

[0024] When using this switching device, the position of the chain is adjusted so that the shape of the steam iron 95 and the lower ironing plate 8 is adapted to the garment piece to be ironed, and then the garment piece is ironed.

[0025] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
