Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of garment ironing technology, and in particular relates to a multifunctional foldable garment ironing table. Background Technology
[0002] Garment ironing tables are key pieces of equipment used in the field of garment care and processing for smoothing out clothing. Their core function is to provide a stable and flat support surface for clothing, and to use tools such as irons to iron out wrinkles, thereby improving the appearance and feel of the garments.
[0003] Currently, most traditional garment ironing tables on the market consist of a flat surface and a support mechanism. In practical use, they have several limitations: First, they occupy significant space. Most conventional ironing tables have a fixed structure, making them difficult to store effectively when not in use. For families with limited living space or small garment processing workshops with limited workspace, fixed ironing tables occupy valuable space, leading to low space utilization and inconvenience to daily life and work layout. Second, they offer fixed ironing methods and limited functionality, failing to allow for flexible switching between horizontal and vertical ironing. In practice, for long garments such as long skirts and coats, ironing in a vertical hanging position makes it easier to ensure a smooth shape. Traditional ironing tables cannot change their support configuration and require additional devices or tools.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing garment ironing tables and provide a multifunctional foldable garment ironing table with ironing mode switching and folding functions. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-functional foldable garment ironing board that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, has ironing mode switching function, and is foldable, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A multi-functional foldable garment ironing board, comprising:
[0008] The base includes a counterweight seat, a base and vertical plates fixed above the counterweight seat. There are two vertical plates, which are arranged symmetrically about the base. First magnetic strips are embedded and fixed on the left and right sides of the two vertical plates.
[0009] The drive mechanism includes a lead screw whose bottom end is connected to the bearing of the counterweight seat. A worm gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the lead screw. A worm is meshed with one side of the worm gear. The worm bearing is installed inside the counterweight seat.
[0010] The movable support includes a lower support and an upper support that are hinged together. The lower support is telescopically slidably located within the base and is threaded onto the outside of the lead screw.
[0011] An ironing table includes a fixed plate fixed to the top of the upper support, and movable plates connected to the left and right sides of the fixed plate by hinges. Both movable plates are threaded with long screws inside. The fixed plate has through holes inside that correspond to and are adapted to the positions of the long screws.
[0012] Preferably, the counterweight base is equipped with self-locking casters at the bottom surfaces of the four right angles, and a positioning bolt is threaded onto the upper front of the counterweight base for positioning the worm gear.
[0013] Preferably, a guide groove is provided inside the top of the vertical plate. The guide groove is zigzag-shaped and includes a vertical section and an inclined section located at the top of the vertical section.
[0014] Preferably, horizontal columns are fixed on the front and rear outer walls of the upper support, and the end of the horizontal column away from the upper support is guided and slidably located in the guide groove.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom surface of the movable platform away from the fixed platform is symmetrically inlaid with a second magnetic strip, the second magnetic strip corresponding to the first magnetic strip and having the same length.
[0016] Preferably, both the second magnetic strip and the first magnetic strip are permanent magnets, and the magnetic properties of the two sides that are close to each other are opposite.
[0017] Preferably, the upper surface of the movable platform on the left side away from the fixed platform is provided with a groove, and a hook is hinged in the groove. The rotation angle range of the hook in the groove is 0-90°.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] In this invention, by manually cranking the worm gear, the worm wheel can be controlled to rotate the lead screw, thereby controlling the movable support and the ironing table to rise vertically along the base synchronously. When the horizontal column enters the inclined section from the vertical section of the guide groove, the horizontal column can drive the upper support and the ironing table to rotate 90° at the top of the lower support, so that the ironing table is in a vertical state and the hook can be turned out of the groove for easy hanging ironing of clothes. This device can switch freely between horizontal ironing and hanging ironing as needed, making ironing more convenient without the need for additional equipment and tools. This device has stronger functionality. In addition, the height of the ironing table in a horizontal state can also be adjusted within a certain range by using the vertical section of the guide groove.
[0020] This invention allows for manual rotation of a long screw, which moves the movable platform away from the fixed platform. When one end of the long screw disengages from the through hole inside the fixed platform, the movable platform is released from its positioning. The hinge can then be used to control the movable platform to rotate to a vertical position. The first and second magnetic strips, which are adjacent to each other and have opposite magnetic properties, are used to attract and position the folded movable platform. By rotating and folding the two movable platforms, the device can be effectively reduced in size when not in use, achieving the design goal of saving space. Attached Figure Description

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown in one example, the multifunctional foldable garment ironing table of this utility model includes:
[0033] The base includes a counterweight 1 and a base 3 and a vertical plate 4 fixed above the counterweight 1. There are two vertical plates 4, which are arranged symmetrically about the base 3. The left and right sides of the two vertical plates 4 are inlaid with first magnetic strips 5.
[0034] The drive mechanism includes a lead screw 7 whose bottom end is connected to a bearing of the counterweight seat 1. A worm gear 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the lead screw 7. A worm 9 is meshed with one side of the worm gear 8. The worm 9 is mounted inside the counterweight seat 1.
[0035] The movable support includes a lower support 11 and an upper support 12 that are hinged together. The lower support 11 is telescopically slidably located inside the base 3 and is threadedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 7.
[0036] The ironing table includes a fixed plate 14 fixed to the top of the upper support 12, and movable plates 16 connected to the left and right sides of the fixed plate 14 by hinges. Both movable plates 16 are threaded with long screws 18 inside. The fixed plate 14 has through holes 15 inside that correspond to and are adapted to the positions of the long screws 18.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, a self-locking caster wheel 2 is installed on the bottom surface of each of the four right angles of the counterweight seat 1, and a positioning bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the upper front of the counterweight seat 1 for positioning the worm gear 9.
[0038] In this embodiment, the worm gear 9 is used to control the rotation of the worm wheel 8 and the lead screw 7, and by tightening the positioning bolt 10, the lead screw 7 is positioned against the ground, so as to prevent the uncontrolled rotation of the lead screw 7 from affecting the stable operation of the ironing table.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, a guide groove 6 is further provided inside the top of the vertical plate 4. The guide groove 6 is zigzag-shaped and includes a vertical section and an inclined section located at the top of the vertical section.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, a horizontal column 13 is fixed on both the front and rear outer walls of the upper support 12, and the end of the horizontal column 13 away from the upper support 12 is guided and slidably located in the guide groove 6.
[0041] In this embodiment, when the movable support and ironing table are moved vertically upward, the upper support 12 can be controlled to rotate the ironing table to a vertical position by the guide groove 6 and the horizontal column 13. This allows for easy switching between horizontal ironing and hanging ironing modes, making ironing more convenient without the need for additional equipment or tools.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the bottom end face of the movable platform 16 away from the fixed platform 14 is further symmetrically inlaid with a second magnetic strip 17, which corresponds to the first magnetic strip 5 and has the same length.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, both the second magnetic strip 17 and the first magnetic strip 5 are permanent magnets, and the magnetic properties of the two sides that are close to each other are opposite.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first magnetic strip 5 and the second magnetic strip 17 with opposite magnetic properties on adjacent sides can be used to attract and position the folded movable platform 16. By rotating and folding the two movable platforms 16 on the left and right sides, the volume of the device can be effectively reduced when it is not in use.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, a groove 19 is further provided on the upper surface of the left movable platform 16 away from the fixed platform 14, and a hook 20 is hinged in the groove 19. The rotation angle range of the hook 20 in the groove 19 is 0-90°.
[0046] In this embodiment, the groove 19 facilitates the concealed installation of the hook 20. When the ironing table is rotated to a vertical position, the hook 20 can be released to facilitate the hanging and ironing of clothing.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0048] In use, firstly, use the self-locking casters 2 to easily push the ironing table to the designated work area, and use the self-locking casters 2's own positioning structure to position the device. After rotating the movable table 16 to a horizontal position, the long screw 18 can be manually rotated to control the movement of the long screw 18 and insert one end of it into the corresponding through hole 15 inside the fixed table 14, thus positioning the movable table 16. Control both the left and right movable table 16 to unfold to a horizontal position and position them, then the garment can be laid flat on the ironing table surface, and you can start using existing irons and other tools to iron the garment.
[0049] When it is necessary to hang and iron the garment, the worm gear 9 can be manually rotated to control the worm wheel 8 to drive the screw 7 to rotate. This will control the movable bracket and the ironing table to rise vertically along the base 3. When the horizontal column 13 enters the inclined section of the guide groove 6 from the vertical section, the horizontal column 13 will be guided to drive the upper bracket 12 and the ironing table to rotate 90° at the top of the lower bracket 11. This will put the ironing table in a vertical position and allow the hook 20 to be rotated out of the groove 19, making it convenient to hang and iron the garment.
[0050] In summary, this device can switch freely between horizontal ironing and hanging ironing as needed, making ironing more convenient without the need for additional equipment or tools. This device is more functional. In addition, by using the vertical section of the guide groove 6, the height of the ironing table in a horizontal state can be adjusted within a certain range. After adjustment, the positioning bolt 10 can be tightened to provide a contact positioning function for the worm gear 9.
[0051] In addition, when the device is idle, the long screw 18 can be manually rotated to disengage it from the through hole 15, so that the two movable platforms 16 on the left and right can be rotated from horizontal to vertical storage. The first magnetic strip 5 and the second magnetic strip 17 with opposite magnetic properties on the adjacent side can be used to attract and position the movable platforms 16 in the folded storage state. This can effectively reduce the size of the device when it is idle, thus achieving the design goal of saving space.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
