AI Technical Summary
In existing garment ironing equipment, the separation efficiency of steam and water in the exhaust gas is low, resulting in low efficiency of steam reuse and a reduction in overall efficiency.
A post-phase water vapor separator is designed, which utilizes a temperature-sensitive metal baffle that expands and slides at high temperatures to separate steam and water. The steam returns to the iron through the gap between the cover and the baffle, while the water is discharged through an annular groove, achieving efficient separation.
It achieves efficient separation of steam and water, reuses steam, and returns water to the boiler for reheating, thus improving the overall efficiency of the ironing equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ironing equipment technology, specifically a post-heater for ironing clothing. Background Technology
[0002] Garment processing involves multiple steps, including material preparation, cutting, sewing, ironing, and quality inspection. The ironing process is primarily completed using an iron and steam. The iron has a steam inlet and outlet at its tail. Steam is generated by a boiler and piped into the inlet. The exhaust gas from ironing returns to the boiler through the outlet and pipes for reuse. Besides used steam, the exhaust gas also contains water generated during ironing. The problem is that, unlike water, the steam in the exhaust gas can be reheated quickly after returning to the boiler, but a round trip takes considerable time, leading to reduced overall efficiency. Therefore, providing a device that efficiently separates the steam and water from the exhaust gas, allowing for steam reuse and water reheating after returning to the boiler, is becoming an increasingly urgent problem for relevant technical personnel. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a post-positioned water vapor separator for garment ironing.
[0004] A post-emitter steam separator for garment ironing includes a main body, characterized in that: a frustum is provided at the center of the upper part of the main body, a steam inlet is provided at the center of the frustum, the steam inlet vertically penetrates the frustum and the main body, an annular groove is provided around the frustum, a drain hole is vertically provided inside the annular groove, a side groove is provided on one side of the main body, a side hole is horizontally provided inside the side groove, the side hole and the drain hole are connected inside the main body, a cover is provided on the top of the main body, and a baffle is provided between the cover and the main body, the baffle being made of a thermally expanding and contracting temperature-sensitive metal.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper part of the main body is provided with an external thread, and the inside of the cover is provided with an internal thread, and the internal thread is threadedly connected to the external thread.
[0006] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe is provided below the main body, and a lower groove is provided at the center of the lower part of the main body, with the upper part of the exhaust pipe welded to the lower groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a first conduit is horizontally arranged on one side of the main body, and a second conduit is vertically arranged on the side away from the main body.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model's post-positioned water vapor separator for garment ironing are as follows:
[0011] 1. The baffle provides a good structural basis for the separation of water and steam in the exhaust gas. The baffle moves up and down with the change of gas pressure, which provides a good structural basis for the orderly input and output of water-containing exhaust gas and water-free steam. This effectively ensures the efficient separation of steam and water in the exhaust gas. After passing through this water-steam separator, the steam can be reused and the water can be returned to the boiler for reheating.
[0012] 2. The upper part of the exhaust pipe is welded to the lower groove, and the two ends of the first guide tube are welded to the side groove and the weld groove respectively, which effectively ensures the stability of this water vapor separator as a whole.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the explanation clearer, the following description of a post-embedded water vapor separator for garment ironing is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] A post-emitter steam separator for garment ironing includes a main body 4, characterized in that: a frustum 13 is provided at the center of the upper part of the main body 4, a steam inlet 10 is provided at the center of the frustum 13, the steam inlet 10 vertically penetrates the frustum 13 and the main body 4, an annular groove 11 is provided around the frustum 13, a drain hole 14 is vertically provided inside the annular groove 11, a side groove 16 is provided on one side of the main body 4, a side hole 17 is horizontally provided inside the side groove 16, the side hole 17 and the drain hole 14 are connected inside the main body 4, a cover 5 is provided on the top of the main body 4, and a baffle 9 is provided between the cover 5 and the main body 4, the baffle 9 being made of a thermally expanding and contracting temperature-sensitive metal.
[0022] Furthermore, the upper part of the main body 4 is provided with an external threaded portion 12, and the inside of the cover 5 is provided with an internal threaded portion 19, and the internal threaded portion 19 is threadedly connected to the external threaded portion 12.
[0023] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe 3 is provided below the main body 4, and a lower groove 18 is provided at the center of the lower part of the main body 4. The upper part of the exhaust pipe 3 is welded to the lower groove 18.
[0024] Furthermore, a first conduit 1 is horizontally arranged on one side of the main body 4, and a second conduit 2 is vertically arranged on the side of the first conduit 1 away from the main body 4. A weld groove 7 is provided at the position corresponding to the first conduit 1 in the second conduit 2. A through hole 15 is horizontally provided inside the weld groove 7. The two ends of the first conduit 1 are welded to the side groove 16 and the weld groove 7 respectively.
[0025] Furthermore, the upper part of the second conduit 2 is provided with an upper threaded portion 8, and the lower part of the second conduit 2 is provided with a lower threaded portion 6.
[0026] Furthermore, the lower part of the main body 4 is shaped like a hexagonal prism.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model for a post-heater for garment ironing is as follows: Exhaust gas enters the main body 4 through the steam inlet 10. The high temperature of the exhaust gas keeps the space between the main body 4 and the cover 5 at a high temperature. The baffle 9 expands due to heat, and its outer edge slides against the inner wall of the cover 5. The exhaust gas pushes the baffle 9 slightly upward and separates it from the upper surface of the frustum 13. The water in the exhaust gas is adsorbed on the lower surface of the baffle 9. The steam in the exhaust gas enters the space above the baffle 9 through the gap between the outer edge of the baffle 9 and the inner wall of the cover 5. After enough steam accumulates in the space above the baffle 9, the steam pushes the baffle 9 downward until it is flush with the inner wall of the cover 5. The upper surface of the frustum 13 re-contacts, and this contact generates vibration. Water on the lower surface of the baffle 9 is vibrated and falls into the annular groove 11, or slides into the annular groove 11 through the side of the frustum 13. It then flows into the first conduit 1 through the drain hole 14 and the side hole 17, and then into the second conduit 2 and is finally discharged. The steam above the baffle 9 enters the exhaust gas conveying pipe through the gap between the baffle 9 and the inner wall of the cover 5 and the steam inlet 10 due to the high pressure. It is conveyed in the opposite direction to the exhaust gas conveying direction and returned to the iron for reuse. The air pressure in the space above the baffle 9 decreases, and the exhaust gas continues to be conveyed. The water vapor separation is carried out in this cycle.
[0028] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
