The tail end of the first hand handle 11 is provided with a hinge seat, and the tail end of the second hand handle 21 is hinged to the hinge seat through a pivot 71. A spring 74 post 72 is provided in front of the hinge seat, and a spring 74 groove 73 is provided in the second hand handle 21 to align with the spring 74 post 72. A spring 74 is provided between the first hand handle 11 and the second hand handle 21 to keep the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate in a separated position. One end of the spring 74 is fitted on the spring 74 post 72, and the other end of the spring 74 abuts in the spring 74 groove 73. Through the hinge structure, compact clamping plate design and integrated internal components, the overall size and weight are significantly reduced, making it suitable for business trips and travel, and completely solving the limitation of traditional ironing machines that can only be used at home.

[0026] The first ironing head 12 is equipped with a steam generator 41, and the second clamping plate is equipped with a water tank 30 for holding steam water. The water tank 30 and the steam generator 41 are connected by a water inlet assembly. The water tank 30 is installed in the hollow cavity inside the second clamping plate. The water tank 30 includes a main body section and a water inlet section. The main body section is embedded in the hollow cavity inside the second handle 21. The water inlet section is located at the connection point between the second ironing head 22 and the second handle 21. The water inlet section has a water inlet 32 ​​with a sealing plug 31. The top wall of the second clamping plate has a water inlet window for exposing the water inlet 32 ​​and the sealing plug 31. The water inlet 32 ​​is designed at the connection point for easy water filling and to maintain a flat appearance. The water tank 30 and the steam generator 41 are located in the two clamping plates respectively, making the volume of the two clamping plates more coordinated and the operation more convenient and convenient.

[0027] The first ironing head 12 is rotatably mounted at the front end of the first hand handle 11 via a rotating mechanism, and can be switched to different ironing positions by rotation; the ironing positions include a clamping position, a first hanging ironing position, and a second hanging ironing position. When the first ironing head 12 is in the clamping position, it is in the initial position, and the first ironing plate 13 and the second ironing plate 23 are opposite each other; Figure 6 As shown, when the first ironing head 12 is in the first ironing position, it rotates 180 degrees relative to the first hand handle 11; as Figure 7 As shown, when the first ironing head 12 is in the second ironing position, it rotates 90 degrees relative to the first hand handle 11. The rotating mechanism includes a motor 61 and a gear set 62 driven by the motor 61. Both the motor 61 and the gear set 62 are assembled in the cavity inside the first hand handle 11. The first ironing head 12 has a transmission seat formed on it, which is driven by the gear set 62. The transmission seat includes a rotating seat 63 and an arc-shaped connecting piece 64. The rotating seat 63 is coaxially fixed to the transmission shaft of the gear set 62, and the arc-shaped connecting piece 64 connects the first ironing head 12 and the rotating seat 63. A control panel and control buttons are installed on the first hand handle 11. Through the rotating mechanism driven by the motor 61, the first ironing head 12 can switch between the clamping position (initial position, with the two plates clamping parallel), the first ironing position (rotated 180 degrees, with the two plates in the same direction, suitable for ironing large areas of clothing), and the second ironing position (rotated 90 degrees, suitable for handling corners, shoulders, and other special angles). This provides multiple ironing modes, greatly improving the flexibility and applicability of the ironing clip to various scenarios and meet different ironing needs.

[0028] Both the first ironing head 12 and the second ironing head 22 are equipped with heating elements. The heating elements include a first ceramic heating element 42 mounted above the steam generator 41, a second ceramic heating element 43 mounted above the first ironing plate 13, and a third ceramic heating element 44 mounted above the second ironing plate 23. The first ceramic heating element 42, the second ceramic heating element 43, and the third ceramic heating element 44 are all fixed by corresponding positioning pieces 50. Each positioning piece 50 includes a main body and a spring-loaded contact piece 51 integrally formed on the main body. The main body is fixed by positioning bolts. There is a deformation gap between the main body and the corresponding ceramic heating element for the spring-loaded contact piece 51 to deform. The spring-loaded contact piece 51 presses against the corresponding ceramic heating element. Ceramic heating elements are arranged in key positions. These elements heat up quickly, have high thermal efficiency, and are small in size, enabling steam ironing and hot press ironing functions in a very small space. The positioning piece 50 with spring-loaded contact 51 pushes the ceramic element and leaves a deformation gap. The spring-loaded contact provides continuous pressure, ensuring good heat conduction between the heating element and the heating element, and also provides stress buffering, making it less prone to loosening under handheld operation vibration.

[0029] The second hand handle 21 has a groove at its tail end, and a storage knob 80 is fitted inside the groove. The storage knob 80 includes a slider 82 that slides in conjunction with the groove. A toggle switch 81 is formed above the slider 82, and a locking block 83 is formed at the tail end of the slider 82. A descending step is formed between the slider 82 and the locking block 83. The storage knob 80 can slide back and forth between a release position and a storage position. When the storage knob 80 is in the release position, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can freely move closer together or separate. When the first and second clamping plates are close together in the storage position, the storage slider 80 can slide to the storage position, causing the locking block 83 to lock within the clearance gap 90 at the tail ends of the first and second clamping plates, restricting the outward separation of the first and second clamping plates; the slider 82 has two symmetrically formed limiting arms 84 on both sides, the bottom of the limiting arms is provided with limiting protrusions, and the sides of the slide groove are provided with limiting protrusions that cooperate with the limiting protrusions, so that the storage slider 80 is kept in the release or storage position. Figure 8 As shown, when the clamps are closed, the sliding storage button 80 is slidable, and its locking block 83 engages with the clearance gap 90 at the tail ends of the two clamps, locking the clamps in the closed state to prevent accidental opening during carrying. The limiting arm 84 and the convex rib / protrusion cooperate to ensure that the button can be stably stopped in the release or storage position, simplifying angle switching and opening and closing operations, and providing a safe carrying and locking method to improve the user experience.
