Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to cleaning equipment technology, and more particularly to a suction head and an ironing machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, ironing machines, as a household appliance that can iron clothes, have become increasingly popular. Ironing machines usually have an ironing panel with a steam outlet. Users can hold the ironing machine and make the ironing panel contact the clothes to be ironed. The high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam outlet is used to iron the clothes, which loosens the clothing fibers and reduces wrinkles.
[0003] In related technologies, ironing machines are usually equipped with adsorption components. The ironing panel has an air intake. The adsorption component generates suction, which adsorbs the clothes onto the ironing panel through the air intake to ensure stable contact between the ironing panel and the clothes and to ensure the ironing effect.
[0004] However, when ironing clothes, some of the hot steam discharged from the steam outlet will be drawn back into the iron by the suction of the air inlet, causing the temperature inside the iron to be too high, which can damage the iron and affect its normal use. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, this application provides a steam suction head and an ironing machine that can prevent a large amount of hot steam from being drawn back into the ironing machine, reduce the temperature inside the ironing machine, and extend the service life of the ironing machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a steaming head and an ironing machine, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides an ironing head, including an ironing part and an adsorption part;
[0008] The adsorption part is arranged around the outside of the ironing part, and the adsorption part is provided with a plurality of air inlets, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the ironing part.
[0009] The ironing section has a steam outlet;
[0010] The steam suction head is provided with at least one guide channel communicating with the steam outlet. The first end of the guide channel is located at the ironing part, and the second end of the guide channel extends to the outside of the suction part.
[0011] In this way, the guide channel extends from the steam outlet of the ironing section to the outside of the adsorption section, forming a steam discharge channel. This structure can actively guide at least part of the high-temperature steam to the outer area of the adsorption section, preventing the steam from being directly drawn back into the ironing machine by the air intake, thereby reducing the temperature inside the ironing machine and preventing the equipment from being damaged due to overheating.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the suction head provided in this application has a plurality of guide channels, including a first guide channel and a second guide channel;
[0013] The first end of the first guide channel and the first end of the second guide channel are connected, and the first guide channel and the second guide channel extend in different directions.
[0014] In this way, the guide channels extending in different directions can direct high-temperature steam in multiple directions, preventing it from concentrating in a single direction. On the one hand, this provides more exhaust paths for the high-temperature steam, improving its exhaust efficiency and further preventing backflow; on the other hand, it allows the high-temperature steam to more evenly cover the surface of the garment to be ironed in multiple directions, improving ironing efficiency and smoothness.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the steam suction head provided in this application has multiple steam outlets, including a first steam outlet and a second steam outlet.
[0016] The first end of the first guide channel and the first end of the second guide channel form a common part, and the first steam outlet is provided in the common part;
[0017] The length of the first guide channel is greater than or equal to the length of the second guide channel, and the bottom surface of the first guide channel is provided with the second steam outlet.
[0018] Thus, the first and second guide channels are connected in the common area, but extend in different directions, with the first guide channel being longer and having a second steam outlet at its bottom. After being discharged through the multi-directional guide channels, the high-temperature steam is moved away from the suction port of the adsorption section, reducing the possibility of it being directly drawn back into the machine by suction, thereby alleviating the overheating problem inside the machine. Furthermore, because the length of the first guide channel is greater than or equal to that of the second guide channel, a combined long and short guide path is formed, which can also adapt to handling large flat areas or near-edge areas, improving the ironing effect.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the ratio of the total area of the guide groove to the area of the suction head provided in this application is greater than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.8 in a plane parallel to the ironing part.
[0020] Therefore, if the area of the steam guide channel is too small, the high-temperature steam will not be discharged smoothly, which may lead to increased internal pressure or backflow of high-temperature steam. If the steam guide channel occupies too much area, it will weaken the suction effect of the adsorption section, resulting in poor adhesion of clothes and affecting the stability of ironing. By controlling the proportion of the total area of the steam guide channel, sufficient steam discharge capacity can be ensured, while avoiding insufficient suction of the adsorption section due to an excessively large steam guide channel area.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the suction head provided in this application has a cross-section with a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide channel from the first end to the second end of the guide channel, and the cross-sectional area of the guide channel gradually increases.
[0022] In this way, the cross-sectional area of the guide channel gradually increases from the first end to the second end, causing the steam velocity to gradually decrease during flow, reducing turbulence and energy loss. This avoids steam stagnation or backflow caused by excessive flow resistance. It further reduces the possibility of high-temperature steam being drawn back by suction, thereby protecting the equipment from overheating damage.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the ironing head provided in this application has an ironing part and an adsorption part forming an ironing panel;
[0024] The thickness of the heat-absorbing panel is greater than the depth of the flow channel.
[0025] In this way, the thickness of the heat-absorbing panel is greater than the depth of the flow channel, ensuring that the flow channel is only partially embedded inside the heat-absorbing panel and does not penetrate the entire structure of the panel. This avoids the heat-absorbing panel becoming thinner due to an excessively deep flow channel, preventing deformation or damage caused by steam pressure or mechanical stress. It also enhances the overall structural stability of the heat-absorbing panel, extending the equipment's lifespan, and is particularly suitable for high-frequency usage scenarios.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the heat-absorbing head provided in this application has a barrier groove on the heat-absorbing panel;
[0027] The barrier groove is located between the ironing part and the adsorption part.
[0028] Thus, the barrier groove, located between the ironing section and the adsorption section, forms a physical barrier, preventing high-temperature steam from directly entering the air intake of the adsorption section. This reduces the probability of high-temperature steam being drawn back into the machine by suction, avoiding overheating damage to the equipment. The spatial isolation provided by the barrier groove clearly delineates the "steam emission zone" and the "adsorption functional zone," minimizing airflow interference between the two.
[0029] In one possible implementation, the suction head provided in this application has the barrier groove connected to the guide groove, and the depth of the barrier groove is less than or equal to the depth of the guide groove.
[0030] In this way, some of the high-temperature steam needs to pass through the shallow barrier channel before entering the deep guide channel, which prolongs the flow path and reduces the possibility of being directly drawn back by suction.
[0031] In one possible implementation, the ironing head provided in this application has the ironing portion recessed relative to the adsorption portion in the thickness direction of the ironing panel;
[0032] Alternatively, in the thickness direction of the heat-absorbing panel, the ironing part is flush with the absorbent part.
[0033] Thus, with the ironing section located inside the adsorption section, steam exiting from the steam outlet of the ironing section must first cover the concave area before diffusing outwards through the guide channels. The concave structure prolongs the residence time of steam on the panel surface, promoting its flow through the guide channels rather than being sucked into the adsorption section. When the ironing section and adsorption section are on the same plane, the steam diffuses directly outwards after exiting. The planar structure simplifies airflow path planning, and the ironing section and adsorption section together form a flat surface, suitable for ironing thin fabrics or large areas, reducing uneven adsorption caused by height differences.
[0034] The planar structure facilitates even heat conduction and avoids localized overheating that could damage clothing.
[0035] Secondly, this application provides an ironing machine, including a body and an ironing head as described above disposed on the body.
[0036] Thus, an ironing machine equipped with the aforementioned suction head can expel some of the high-temperature steam into the surrounding environment, preventing high-temperature steam from flowing back into the ironing machine, reducing the risk of damage to components such as circuits and sensors, and extending the life of the equipment.
[0037] The steam suction head and ironing machine provided in this application include an ironing section and an adsorption section. The adsorption section is arranged around the outside of the ironing section and has multiple air intakes spaced apart circumferentially along the ironing section. The ironing section has a steam outlet, and the steam suction head has at least one guide channel communicating with the steam outlet. The first end of the guide channel is located in the ironing section, and the second end extends to the outside of the adsorption section. The guide channel extends from the steam outlet of the ironing section to the outside of the adsorption section, forming a steam discharge channel. This structure can actively guide at least a portion of the high-temperature steam to the outer area of the adsorption section, preventing the steam from being directly drawn back into the ironing machine by the air intakes, thereby reducing the temperature inside the ironing machine and preventing damage to the equipment due to overheating.

[0051] With the improvement of living standards, ironing machines, as a household appliance that can iron clothes, have become increasingly popular. As an indispensable piece of equipment in homes and professional laundry rooms, the main function of ironing machines is to smooth clothes, remove wrinkles, and restore the smoothness and luster of clothes through high temperature and pressure.
[0052] For example, an ironing machine typically has an ironing panel with a steam outlet. The user holds the ironing machine so that the ironing panel comes into contact with the clothes to be ironed, and uses the high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam outlet to iron the clothes, which loosens the fabric fibers and reduces wrinkles.
[0053] In related technologies, some ironing machines are usually equipped with adsorption components. The ironing panel has an air intake. The adsorption component generates suction, which adsorbs the clothes onto the ironing panel through the air intake to ensure stable contact between the ironing panel and the clothes and to ensure the ironing effect.
[0054] However, when ironing clothes, some of the hot steam discharged from the steam outlet will be drawn back into the iron by the suction of the air inlet, causing the temperature inside the iron to be too high, which can damage the iron and affect its normal use.
[0055] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a steam suction head and an ironing machine. In this solution, the steam suction head includes an ironing section and an suction section. The suction section is arranged around the outer side of the ironing section and has multiple air intakes spaced apart circumferentially along the ironing section. The ironing section has a steam outlet, and the steam suction head has at least one guide channel communicating with the steam outlet. The first end of the guide channel is located in the ironing section, and the second end extends to the outer side of the suction section. The guide channel extends from the steam outlet of the ironing section to the outer side of the suction section, forming a steam discharge channel. This structure can actively guide at least a portion of the high-temperature steam to the outer area of the suction section, preventing the high-temperature steam from being directly drawn back into the ironing machine by the air intakes, thereby reducing the temperature inside the ironing machine and preventing damage due to overheating.
[0056] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the embodiments of this application will be described first.
[0057] The steaming head and ironing machine provided in this application can be applied to clothing manufacturing, storage, sales, or laundry services. The clothing to be ironed by the steaming machine should be interpreted broadly, including but not limited to clothes, trousers, and other items for wearing, as well as fabrics such as curtains, sheets, and duvet covers. This application does not specifically limit this, and will be collectively referred to as "clothing" below, without further specific examples.
[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a simplified representation of the steam suction head and the various components of the ironing machine. The specific structures of the steam suction head and the other components of the ironing machine are not limited to these examples. Figure 1 and Figure 2 of examples.
[0059] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a steam suction head and an ironing machine are provided. The steam suction head includes an ironing part 100 and an adsorption part 200. The adsorption part 200 is arranged around the outside of the ironing part 100 and has a plurality of air intakes 201, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the ironing part 100. The ironing part 100 has a steam outlet 101, and the steam suction head has at least one guide groove 300 communicating with the steam outlet 101. The first end of the guide groove 300 is located in the ironing part 100, and the second end of the guide groove 300 extends to the outside of the adsorption part 200.
[0061] The steam suction head provided in this application can be used in an ironing machine. The user can hold the ironing head 100 and the suction head 200 in close contact with the clothes. The clothes are ironed by the high temperature steam discharged through the steam outlet 101. During the ironing process, the suction component in the ironing machine generates negative pressure and draws air through the air intake 201 on the suction head 200, so that the clothes are tightly attached to the ironing head 100, thereby ensuring the ironing effect.
[0062] By arranging the air inlets 201 at intervals along the circumference of the ironing section 100, it is possible to ensure that the clothes attached to the ironing section 100 are subjected to uniform suction, ensuring the stretching of the clothes in multiple directions and improving the ironing effect.
[0063] The guide channel 300 extends from the steam outlet 101 of the ironing section 100 to the outside of the adsorption section 200, forming a steam discharge channel. This structure can actively guide at least part of the high-temperature steam to the outer area of the adsorption section 200, avoiding a large amount of high-temperature steam being directly drawn back into the ironing machine by the air intake 201, thereby reducing the temperature inside the ironing machine, preventing damage to the equipment due to overheating, and ensuring the safety of the electronic components inside the ironing machine.
[0064] Furthermore, the suction port 201 of the adsorption unit 200 is only responsible for adsorbing clothing, while the guide channel 300 independently undertakes the function of exporting high-temperature steam. This spatial separation design ensures stable adsorption of clothing by the adsorption component, maintaining the ironing effect, while avoiding interference from high-temperature steam backflow to other electronic components inside the ironing machine, thus improving system reliability.
[0065] In one possible implementation, there are multiple guide channels 300, including a first guide channel 300a and a second guide channel 300b.
[0066] The first end of the first guide channel 300a and the first end of the second guide channel 300b are connected, and the extension directions of the first guide channel 300a and the second guide channel 300b are different.
[0067] In the above embodiments, in specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the number of guide channels 300 can be set to 4. The 4 guide channels 300 include 2 first guide channels 300a and 2 second guide channels 300b. The first ends of the 2 first guide channels 300a are connected and are symmetrically arranged. Figure 2 In the X direction, the first ends of the two second guide channels 300b are connected, and they are said to be symmetrically arranged. Figure 2 In the Y direction, the first ends of the four guide channels 300 are all connected, and the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction.
[0068] This configuration ensures that high-temperature steam is discharged in four directions along the four guide channels 300°, i.e. Figure 2 The four directions of the central suction head, including the top, bottom, left, and right, are designed to guide high-temperature steam in multiple directions, preventing it from concentrating in a single direction. This provides more escape paths for the high-temperature steam, improving its efficiency and preventing backflow. Furthermore, it ensures that the steam covers the surface of the garment more evenly in multiple directions, improving ironing efficiency and smoothness.
[0069] Of course, the number of guide channels 300 can also be set to 6 or 8. The first ends of the above multiple guide channels 300 are all connected, and the included angle between the extension directions of each guide channel 300 can be the same, which is equivalent to each guide channel 300 being evenly distributed along the circumference of the ironing part 100, thereby improving the efficiency of high-temperature steam discharge.
[0070] In the above embodiments, after the high-temperature steam is diverted from the first end of each guide channel 300, it diffuses along the different guide channels 300 paths, reducing the problem of insufficient or excessively concentrated steam in a localized area due to unidirectional flow.
[0071] The multi-directional guide channel 300 and the air intake 201 of the adsorption section 200 form a spatial isolation. After the high-temperature steam is guided to the outside of the adsorption section 200, it can quickly disperse away from the surrounding environment of the ironing machine, avoiding being directly sucked back into the machine by the air intake 201, and further reducing the risk of overheating inside the machine.
[0072] Furthermore, the flow-diverting structure of the first guide channel 300a and the second guide channel 300b can reduce the flow resistance of high-temperature steam and improve the flow-diverting efficiency. Especially when high-power steam output is achieved, the multi-channel design can quickly disperse steam and avoid internal pressure rise or steam backflow caused by poor flow diversion.
[0073] In one possible implementation, the number of steam outlets 101 is provided in multiple ways, including a first steam outlet 101a and a second steam outlet 101b. The first end of the first guide groove 300a and the first end of the second guide groove 301b form a common part, and the first steam outlet 101a is provided in the common part.
[0074] The length of the first guide channel 300a is greater than or equal to the length of the second guide channel 300b, and the bottom surface of the first guide channel 300a is provided with a second steam outlet 101b. Multiple second steam outlets 101b can be provided, and the multiple second steam outlets 101b are arranged along the extension direction of the first guide channel 300a.
[0075] In the above embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the four guide channels 300 include two first guide channels 300a and two second guide channels 300b. The first ends of the two first guide channels 300a are connected and are symmetrically arranged. Figure 2In the X direction, the first ends of the two second guide channels 300b are connected, and they are said to be symmetrically arranged. Figure 2 In the Y direction, the first ends of the four guide channels 300 are all connected, and the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction.
[0076] The first guide channel 300a and the second guide channel 300b are connected in the common part, but extend in different directions, and the first guide channel 300a is longer. A second steam outlet 101b is provided on the bottom surface of the first guide channel 300a. After the high-temperature steam from the first steam outlet 101a enters the common part, it is diverted through the guide channels 300 in different directions. The first guide channel 300a is responsible for guiding the mainstream steam over a long distance, while the second guide channel 300b assists in local steam diffusion. After the high-temperature steam is discharged through the multi-directional guide channels 300, it moves away from the suction port 201 of the adsorption part 200, reducing the possibility of it being directly drawn back into the machine by suction, thereby alleviating the overheating problem inside the machine.
[0077] In addition, the high-temperature steam circulating within the guide channel 300 also has an ironing effect on clothing. The first steam outlet 101a provides concentrated high-temperature steam to quickly soften clothing fibers; the second steam outlet 101b releases auxiliary steam through the bottom of the channel to supplement local heat and ensure even ironing. The length of the first guide channel 300a is greater than or equal to that of the second guide channel 300b, forming a combined long and short guide path. The first guide channel 300a delivers steam to a more distant area outside the adsorption section 200, suitable for handling large, flat areas (such as the body of the garment); the second guide channel 300b quickly covers the near-end areas (such as the corners and cuffs). This improves the practicality of the ironing machine.
[0078] In one possible implementation, in a plane parallel to the ironing section 100, the ratio of the total area of the guide channel 300 to the area of the suction head is greater than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.8.
[0079] In the above embodiments, the ratio of the total area of the guide channel 300 to the area of the suction head is greater than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.8, which is equivalent to the total area of the guide channel 300 occupying 1% to 80% of the total area of the suction head. This ratio can be any of, for example, 1%, 1.5%, 10%, 20%, 50%, 79%, 79.9%, and 80%. If the ratio of the total area of the guide channel 300 to the area of the suction head is less than 0.01, the area of the guide channel 300 is too small, resulting in poor steam discharge, which may lead to increased internal pressure or steam backflow. If the ratio of the total area of the guide channel 300 to the area of the suction head is greater than 0.8, the guide channel 300 occupies too much area, weakening the suction effect of the adsorption section 200, resulting in poor clothing adhesion and affecting ironing stability. By controlling the proportion of the total area of the guide channel 300, sufficient steam discharge capacity is ensured while avoiding insufficient suction of the adsorption section 200 due to an excessively large area of the guide channel 300. A proper ratio ensures efficient steam output while maintaining sufficient adsorption area to ensure stable contact between the ironing panel and the garment.
[0080] In practice, the ratio of the total area of the guide channel 300 to the area of the steam suction head provides flexibility for different fabrics and ironing scenarios. For example, a larger ratio (e.g., 0.5~0.8) can be designed for thick clothing to enhance steam emission and quickly penetrate the fibers. A smaller ratio (e.g., 0.01~0.1) can be used for thin clothing to reduce the amount of steam and avoid excessive wetting or damage to the fabric.
[0081] The ratio of the total area of the flow channel 300 to the area of the heat suction head provides a design boundary for the layout of the flow channel 300, avoiding the increase in processing complexity and cost due to too many flow channels 300, or the impact on the function of the flow channel 300 due to too few flow channels 300.
[0082] In one possible implementation, from the first end of the guide channel 300 to the second end of the guide channel 300, the cross-sectional area of the guide channel 300 gradually increases with a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide channel 300 as the cross-section.
[0083] In the above embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 Taking the first guide channel 300a in the X direction as an example, with a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the first guide channel 300a as a cross-section, the extension direction of the first guide channel 300a is the X direction, and the plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the first guide channel 300a is... Figure 2 The cross-sectional area of the first guide channel 300a gradually increases from the first end to the second end, that is, the cross-sectional area of the first guide channel 300a gradually increases from the left end to the right end, in the plane containing the inner and outer directions of the surface shown.
[0084] The cross-sectional area of the guide channel 300 gradually increases from the first end (near the steam outlet 101) to the second end (outside the adsorption section 200), causing the steam flow velocity to gradually decrease during the flow process, reducing turbulence and energy loss. Steam can be more smoothly guided from the ironing section 100 to the outside of the adsorption section 200, avoiding steam stagnation or backflow caused by excessive flow resistance. This reduces the risk of increased internal pressure and the possibility of high-temperature steam being drawn back by suction, thus protecting the equipment from overheating damage. Furthermore, the gradually increasing cross-sectional design creates a "divergence effect" when the high-temperature steam is discharged, rapidly spreading into the surrounding environment and away from the suction port 201 of the adsorption section 200. By increasing the outlet area, concentrated steam discharge is avoided, preventing localized high temperatures or airflow turbulence, further reducing the possibility of backflow.
[0085] In one possible implementation, the ironing part 100 and the suction part 200 form a suction panel 400, the thickness of which is greater than the depth of the guide groove 300.
[0086] In the above embodiment, the thickness of the heat-absorbing panel 400 is greater than the depth of the guide channel 300, ensuring that the guide channel 300 is only partially embedded inside the heat-absorbing panel 400 and does not penetrate the entire structure of the heat-absorbing panel 400. This avoids the heat-absorbing panel 400 becoming thinner due to the guide channel 300 being too deep, preventing deformation or damage to the heat-absorbing panel 400 due to steam pressure or mechanical stress. It enhances the overall structural stability of the heat-absorbing panel 400, extends the service life of the equipment, and is especially suitable for high-frequency use scenarios. The depth of the guide channel 300 is limited by the thickness of the heat-absorbing panel 400, forming a closed or semi-closed guide channel, requiring steam to flow along a preset path to the outside of the adsorption part 200. In addition, the depth of the guide channel 300 does not reach the bottom of the heat-absorbing panel 400, which reduces the transfer of heat carried by the steam to the inside of the adsorption part 200 or other areas of the equipment. This reduces the risk of overheating of the adsorption part 200 due to high-temperature steam, protects the air intake 201 and internal circuit components, and avoids equipment failure.
[0087] In one possible implementation, the heat-absorbing panel 400 is provided with a barrier groove 500, which is located between the ironing part 100 and the absorption part 200.
[0088] In the above embodiment, the barrier groove 500 is located between the ironing section 100 and the adsorption section 200, forming a physical barrier to prevent high-temperature steam from directly entering the suction port 201 of the adsorption section 200. This reduces the probability of high-temperature steam being drawn back into the machine by suction, preventing overheating damage to the equipment. The spatial isolation provided by the barrier groove 500 clearly delineates the "steam emission zone" and the "adsorption functional zone," reducing airflow interference between the two.
[0089] In one possible implementation, the barrier groove 500 is connected to the guide groove 300, and the depth of the barrier groove 500 is less than or equal to the depth of the guide groove 300.
[0090] The barrier trough 500 reduces direct contact between high-temperature steam and the adsorption section 200 through physical isolation and shallow design. The barrier trough 500 is connected to the guide trough 300, and the barrier trough 500 forces the high-temperature steam to flow in the direction of the guide trough 300, avoiding local airflow turbulence.
[0091] Some of the high-temperature steam must first pass through the shallow barrier channel 500 before entering the deep guide channel 300, which lengthens the flow path and reduces the possibility of being directly drawn back by suction. By utilizing the depth difference to create a pressure gradient, the high-temperature steam is guided to flow preferentially into the deeper guide channel 300, rather than being sucked into the ironing machine.
[0092] Furthermore, the barrier trough 500 is connected to the guide trough 300, forming a continuous but layered guide channel to promote uniform steam diffusion. After passing through the shallow barrier trough 500, the steam is accelerated to exit in the deep guide trough 300, reducing local accumulation or backflow.
[0093] In practice, the barrier groove 500 and the guide groove 300 are integrated and connected, reducing processing steps and material consumption, and facilitating integral molding through stamping or injection molding processes.
[0094] In one possible implementation, the ironing portion 100 is recessed relative to the adsorption portion 200 in the thickness direction of the ironing panel 400.
[0095] Here, the ironing section 100 is recessed relative to the adsorption section 200, and is located inside the adsorption section 200. After the high-temperature steam is discharged from the steam outlet 101 of the ironing section 100, it must first cover the recessed area, and then diffuse outward through the guide groove 300. The recessed structure of the ironing section 100 can prolong the residence time of steam on the surface of the ironing panel 400, improve the ironing effect, and promote the flow of high-temperature steam through the guide groove 300, rather than being sucked into the adsorption section 200.
[0096] In the thickness direction of the heat-absorbing panel 400, the ironing part 100 is flush with the suction part 200.
[0097] Here, the ironing section 100 and the adsorption section 200 are on the same plane, and the steam diffuses directly to the outside after being discharged. The planar structure simplifies airflow path planning and facilitates the even distribution of adsorption force. The ironing section 100 makes closer contact with the clothing, improving the ironing effect.
[0098] In one possible implementation, this application provides an ironing machine, including a main body and a suction head as described above, disposed on the main body. The specific structure of the suction head has been described above and will not be repeated here. An ironing machine equipped with the suction head can discharge some of the high-temperature steam into the surrounding environment, preventing high-temperature steam from flowing back into the ironing machine, reducing the risk of damage to components such as circuits and sensors, and extending the lifespan of the ironing machine.
[0099] The implementation principle of the steam suction head and ironing machine according to this application embodiment is as follows: The steam suction head includes an ironing part 100 and an adsorption part 200. The adsorption part 200 is arranged around the outside of the ironing part 100 and has a plurality of air intakes 201, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the ironing part 100. The ironing part 100 has a steam outlet 101, and the steam suction head is provided with at least one guide groove 300 communicating with the steam outlet 101. The first end of the guide groove 300 is located in the ironing part 100, and the second end of the guide groove 300 extends to the outside of the adsorption part 200. The guide groove 300 extends from the steam outlet 101 of the ironing part 100 to the outside of the adsorption part 200, forming a steam discharge channel. This structure can actively guide at least part of the high-temperature steam to the outer area of the adsorption part 200, avoiding the steam being directly drawn back into the ironing machine by the air intakes 201, thereby reducing the temperature inside the ironing machine and preventing the equipment from being damaged due to overheating.
