Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing care technology, and in particular to an automatic ironing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many automatic ironing devices have a horizontal rail that can move up and down, and a care device is installed on the horizontal rail. However, in the event of a sudden power outage or power failure, the existing automatic ironing devices often fall due to their own gravity because the horizontal rail loses its driving force.

[0003] To address this falling problem, the applicant filed patent CN202310891084.1 earlier, which proposed a blocking device and a rigid limiting boss on the drive shaft. In the event of a power outage or power failure, the blocking device moves toward the limiting boss, causing the blocking device to abut against the limiting boss and brake the drive shaft and the horizontal rail, thus preventing the horizontal rail from falling.

[0004] However, in practical application, the applicant found that although the technology can theoretically move the blocking device to a target position where it can abut and interfere with the limiting boss, the blocking device and the limiting boss often have a certain rigidity. During the actual fall of the horizontal rail, the drive shaft will rotate the limiting boss at high speed, which will cause a certain spatial interference in the space outside the limiting boss. On the one hand, this means that the blocking device does not have enough space to move to the target position in time, resulting in slow braking or even braking failure. On the other hand, even if braking is successful, the high-speed rotating limiting boss will also have a rigid collision with the blocking device, which will impact the limiting boss and the drive shaft and easily cause structural damage to them, reducing the service life of the components. Once the relevant components are damaged and scrapped, especially the drive shaft, the difficulty of repair and replacement is also relatively large. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an automatic ironing device to solve the problem that the anti-fall failure of the existing automatic ironing device is prone to occur when there is a power outage or power failure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An automatic ironing device includes: a horizontal rail assembly; a vertical rail assembly for guiding the up-and-down movement of the horizontal rail assembly; a power assembly for providing driving force for the up-and-down movement of the horizontal rail assembly; the power assembly includes a motor and a drive belt connected in sequence; and a braking assembly capable of abutting against the drive belt for braking the drive belt when the power assembly is in an abnormal state, to prevent the horizontal rail assembly from falling.

[0008] Furthermore, the braking assembly can move in a direction close to or away from the drive belt, causing the braking assembly to come into contact with or separate from the drive belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the braking assembly includes a brake head and a traction part, the traction part being connected to the brake head; when the automatic ironing device is powered on, the traction part drives the brake head to move away from the drive belt, causing the brake head to separate from the drive belt; when the power assembly is in an abnormal state, the brake head resets along the direction closer to the drive belt, causing the brake head to engage and brake the drive belt.

[0010] Furthermore, the braking assembly includes a guide portion disposed on the side of the drive belt away from the brake head, wherein the side of the drive belt away from the brake head abuts against the guide portion when the brake head is in contact with the drive belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide portion is provided with protruding teeth on the side wall near the drive belt, and the brake head is provided with tooth grooves on the side wall near the drive belt. When the power assembly is in an abnormal state, the drive belt can be clamped by the protruding teeth and tooth grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive belt is a toothed belt with meshing teeth, and the brake head is provided with a toothed groove near the side wall of the drive belt. The toothed groove and the meshing teeth can engage, so that the brake head and the drive belt can engage for braking.

[0013] Furthermore, the braking assembly includes a support portion disposed between the braking head and the traction portion, the support portion having a guide groove, one end of the braking head being disposed in the guide groove, and the traction portion being connected to the braking head via a traction rope.

[0014] Furthermore, a reset member is provided in the guide groove. The reset member is connected to the brake head and is used to push the brake head toward the drive belt when the power component is in an abnormal state, so that the brake head abuts against the drive belt.

[0015] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a motor, a drive belt, and a transmission module connected in sequence. The transmission module includes a drive shaft, and the drive belt meshes with the output shaft of the motor and the drive shaft, respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, the transmission module includes a lifting sub-module, which is disposed in the vertical rail assembly. The lifting sub-module includes at least a first transmission wheel and a lifting belt. The first transmission wheel is connected to the transmission shaft and engages with the lifting belt. The lifting belt is connected to the horizontal rail assembly.

[0017] Furthermore, the automatic ironing device includes at least two horizontal rail assemblies and at least two power assemblies, with each horizontal rail assembly and power assembly corresponding to the other. The braking assembly engages with or separates from the power assembly corresponding to the horizontal rail assembly at the lowest position.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the automatic ironing device of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] The automatic ironing device described in this utility model uses a braking assembly to brake the drive belt, which is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor. Compared with the prior art, since the drive belt is often looped in a ring shape with certain space on both its inner and outer sides, and there are usually no rigid interference components on the inner and outer surfaces of the drive belt, the braking assembly can move to the target position without interference and directly contact the drive belt, regardless of whether the drive belt is running. Thus, even when the automatic ironing device is powered off, if the drive belt is running at high speed, the braking assembly can still move to the target position and directly contact the drive belt. This allows for timely and effective braking when the automatic ironing device is in an abnormal state such as power failure, avoiding the slow braking or even braking failure that occurs in the prior art.

[0020] Furthermore, since the drive belt often has a certain degree of flexibility, there will be no rigid collision when the braking component comes into contact with the drive belt, and there will be no direct impact on related components such as the drive shaft and motor shaft. This can effectively avoid the problem of components being damaged by rigid collision during the fall protection braking process in existing technologies. As for the drive belt, even if it is assumed that the drive belt is damaged due to braking, only the drive belt needs to be replaced. Not only is the maintenance operation simple and efficient, but it can also significantly reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost compared to the maintenance and replacement of components such as the drive shaft and motor shaft.

[0032] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. In this application, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" are all used in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 The coordinate system is based on the coordinate system in the image.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] In the prior art, automatic ironing devices are prone to fall-prevention failure during power outages or power failures. This embodiment proposes an automatic ironing device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-7 As shown, the automatic ironing device includes a horizontal rail assembly 200; a vertical rail assembly 100 for guiding the vertical movement of the horizontal rail assembly 200; a power assembly 500 for providing driving force for the vertical movement of the horizontal rail assembly 200; the power assembly 500 includes a motor 510 and a drive belt 520 connected in sequence; and a braking assembly 600 that can abut against the drive belt 520 to brake the drive belt 520 when the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state such as power failure, to prevent the horizontal rail assembly 200 from falling.

[0037] Therefore, this application uses the braking assembly 600 to engage and brake the drive belt 520, which is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor 510. Compared with the prior art, since the drive belt 520 is often looped in a ring shape, it has a certain space on both its inner and outer sides. The inner and outer surfaces of the drive belt 520 also generally do not have components that cause rigid interference. This allows the braking assembly 600 to move to the target position without interference and directly contact the drive belt 520, regardless of whether the drive belt 520 is in operation. Thus, even when the automatic ironing device is in an abnormal state such as power failure, even if the drive belt 520 is running at high speed, the braking assembly 600 can still move to the target position and directly engage with the drive belt 520. This enables timely and effective braking when the automatic ironing device is powered off, avoiding the situation of slow braking or even braking failure in the prior art.

[0038] Furthermore, since the drive belt 520 often has a certain degree of flexibility, when the braking component 600 comes into contact with the drive belt 520, there will be no rigid collision, nor will there be direct impact on the drive shaft, motor shaft and other related components. This can effectively avoid the problem of components being damaged by rigid collision during the fall protection braking process in the prior art. As for the drive belt 520, even if the drive belt 520 is damaged due to braking, it can be replaced simply. Not only is the maintenance operation simple and efficient, but it can also significantly reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost compared to the maintenance and replacement of components such as the drive shaft and motor shaft.

[0039] The braking component 600 is movable in a direction approaching or moving away from the drive belt 520, allowing it to engage or disengage from the drive belt 520. When the automatic ironing device is powered on, the braking component 600 moves away from the drive belt 520, disengaging without obstructing its operation. When the power component 500 is in an abnormal state, such as a power outage, the braking component 600 moves towards the drive belt 520, engaging it to create resistance or spatial interference, thus stopping the drive belt 520 as much as possible. This ensures timely and effective braking in abnormal situations such as power outages.

[0040] Specifically, the braking assembly 600 includes a braking head 610 and a traction part 630, with the traction part 630 connected to the braking head 610. When the automatic ironing device is powered on, the traction part 630 drives the braking head 610 to move away from the drive belt 520, causing the braking head 610 to separate from the drive belt 520. When the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state such as power failure, the braking head 610 resets and moves along the direction closer to the drive belt 520, causing the braking head 610 to engage and brake the drive belt 520.

[0041] It should be noted that the braking component 600 brakes the drive belt 520 when the power component 500 is in an abnormal state. Here, an abnormal state of the power component 500 could mean that the power component 500 is in a power-off or power-out state, or that the power component 500 is unable to provide driving force for the up-and-down movement of the horizontal rail assembly 200, or other special circumstances. Of course, a power-off or power-out of the power component 500 can also be understood, based on everyday experience, as a power outage or power failure of an automatic ironing device.

[0042] In one specific embodiment provided in this application, the braking component 600 and the power component 500 can be controlled by the same power source. Alternatively, the braking component 600 and the power component 500 can be connected in series in the same circuit. Alternatively, the automatic ironing device further includes a work detection module to monitor the working status of the power component 500. When the working status of the power component 500 is abnormal, such as a power outage or a control circuit failure, the work detection module sends a braking signal to the braking component 600 to control the braking component 600 to brake the drive belt 520.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] As attached Figure 2 , 6As shown in Figure 7, during the movement of the brake head 610 along the direction close to the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 is inserted into the inner annular side of the drive belt 520 from the outside to the inside and comes into contact with the drive belt 520, thus achieving abutment between the brake head 610 and the drive belt 520. During the movement of the brake head 610 along the direction away from the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 moves out from the inner annular side of the drive belt 520.

[0045] Preferably, the drive belt 520 is a toothed belt with meshing teeth, and the brake head 610 is provided with a toothed groove 614 near the side wall of the drive belt 520. The toothed groove 614 can engage with the meshing teeth, so that the brake head 610 and the drive belt 520 can perform abutment braking.

[0046] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] The brake head 610 is disposed on the inner annular side of the drive belt 520. During the movement of the brake head 610 towards the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 can move directly towards the drive belt 520 from the inner annular side until it contacts the drive belt 520. During the movement of the brake head 610 away from the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 simply moves away from the drive belt 520 from the inner annular side and separates from the drive belt 520.

[0049] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] The brake head 610 is disposed on the outer annular side of the drive belt 520. During the movement of the brake head 610 towards the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 can move directly towards the drive belt 520 from its outer annular side until it contacts the drive belt 520. During the movement of the brake head 610 away from the drive belt 520, the brake head 610 simply moves away from the drive belt 520 from its outer annular side and separates from the drive belt 520. The remaining aspects of this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0052] Example 5

[0053] As attached Figure 2 , 6As shown in Figure 7, the braking assembly 600 includes a guide portion 620, which is disposed on the side of the drive belt 520 away from the brake head 610. When the brake head 610 and the drive belt 520 are in contact, the side of the drive belt 520 away from the brake head 610 abuts against the guide portion 620.

[0054] Because the inner and outer sides of the drive belt 520 have a certain amount of space, the guide portion 620 can be further provided so that both sides of the drive belt 520 (such as the inner and outer sides) have components that can abut against the drive belt 520. When the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state, while the brake head 610 abuts against the drive belt 520, the flexible drive belt 520 will often undergo slight deformation. The deformed drive belt 520 will abut against the guide portion 620, forming a braking effect of both the brake head 610 and the guide portion 620, which can stop the operation of the drive belt 520 in a timely and effective manner. In addition, when the drive belt 520 is operating normally, the guide portion 620 can also guide and limit the operation of the drive belt 520, preventing unnecessary swerving or misalignment during operation.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the guide portion 620 has protruding teeth 624 near the side wall of the drive belt 520, and the brake head 610 has toothed grooves 614 near the side wall of the drive belt 520. When the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state, the drive belt 520 can be clamped by the protruding teeth 624 and toothed grooves 614. Thus, the interlocking clamping between the guide portion 620 and the brake head 610 further enhances the braking force on the drive belt 520. The drive belt 520 can be a conventional belt or a toothed belt with meshing teeth, which are located on the inner and / or outer annular side walls of the drive belt 520.

[0056] For the contact between the drive belt 520 and the guide portion 620, the meshing teeth can engage with the protruding teeth 624; for the contact between the brake head 610 and the drive belt 520, the meshing teeth can engage with the tooth groove 614.

[0057] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0058] Regarding the placement of the brake head 610 and the guide portion 620, one of them needs to abut against the inner annular sidewall of the drive belt 520, while the other needs to abut against the outer annular sidewall of the drive belt 520. If the brake head 610 adopts the placement configuration of Embodiment 2 or 3, the guide portion 620 is located on the outer annular side of the drive belt 520. If the brake head 610 adopts the placement configuration of Embodiment 4, the guide portion 620 is located on the inner annular side of the drive belt 520.

[0059] Example 6

[0060] As attached Figure 2 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the braking assembly 600 includes a support portion 640, which is disposed between the brake head 610 and the traction portion 630. The support portion 640 is provided with a guide groove, and one end of the brake head 610 is disposed in the guide groove. The traction portion 630 is connected to the brake head 610 through a traction rope 631.

[0061] By providing a support portion 640 with a guide groove, the brake head 610 can be supported by the support portion 640 during its movement toward or away from the drive belt 520, and can move more smoothly along the guide groove, preventing the brake head 610 from deviating or misaligning, and also ensuring that the brake head 610 is more firmly in contact with the drive belt 520.

[0062] A reset element is provided in the guide groove. The reset element is connected to the brake head 610 and is used to push the brake head 610 towards the drive belt 520 when the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state, so that the brake head 610 abuts against the drive belt 520. The reset element is preferably an elastic element, such as a spring or torsion spring.

[0063] The brake head 610 includes a guide rod 611, a connecting section 612, and a brake end 613 connected in sequence. The guide rod 611 is disposed in a guide groove and is connected to the traction rope 631. When the power assembly 500 is in an abnormal state, the brake end 613 can abut against the drive belt 520.

[0064] Preferably, the guide rod 611 is engaged with the traction rope 631. A slot 6111 is provided at one end of the guide rod 611 near the traction rope 631. One end of the traction rope 631 is connected to the traction part 630, and the other end is engaged with the slot 6111. Therefore, when the brake head 610 needs maintenance or replacement, it is only necessary to remove the traction rope 631 from the slot 6111, and then the entire brake head 610 can be removed from the guide groove of the support part 640, which helps to reduce the difficulty of maintenance and disassembly.

[0065] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0066] Example 7

[0067] As attached Figure 2 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the configuration of the brake head 610 in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 2. Based on this, the guide portion 620 includes a first side plate 621 and a second side plate 622, with a guide cavity 623 formed between the first side plate 621 and the second side plate 622. The drive belt 520 can run within the guide cavity 623. A guide opening is formed on the side of the guide cavity 623 facing the brake head 610. As the brake head 610 moves along the direction close to the drive belt 520, it can be inserted into the annular inner side of the drive belt 520 along the guide opening. Therefore, the guide portion 620 not only guides and limits the movement of the drive belt 520 but also guides the movement of the brake head 610, allowing the brake head 610 to more smoothly contact the drive belt 520.

[0068] The guide portion 620 has an upper guide plate 625 and a lower guide plate 626 on the side near the brake head 610. The upper guide plate 625 is connected to the first side plate 621 and the second side plate 622 respectively, and the lower guide plate 626 is connected to the first side plate 621 and the second side plate 622 respectively. The vertical distance between the upper guide plate 625 and the lower guide plate 626 is greater than or equal to the vertical height of the brake end 613. Thus, on the side of the guide section 620 near the brake head 610, the upper guide plate 625, the lower guide plate 626, the first side plate 621, and the second side plate 622 together form a closed guide opening. As the brake head 610 moves along the direction close to the drive belt 520, the guide opening guides the brake head 610 and also limits the brake end 613 of the brake head 610, so that it can only be inserted into the inner side of the annular space of the drive belt 520, thus preventing the brake head 610 from shifting or misaligning.

[0069] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0070] Example 8

[0071] As attached Figure 1-5As shown, the power assembly 500 includes a motor 510, a drive belt 520, and a transmission module 530 connected in sequence. The transmission module 530 includes a drive shaft 531, and the drive belt 520 meshes with the output shaft of the motor 510 and the drive shaft 531. The transmission module 530 includes a lifting sub-module 532, which is disposed in the vertical rail assembly 100. The lifting sub-module 532 includes at least a first drive wheel 533 and a lifting belt 534. The first drive wheel 533 is connected to the drive shaft 531 and meshes with the lifting belt 534. The lifting belt 534 is connected to the horizontal rail assembly 200. Driven by the motor 510, the automatic ironing device sequentially drives the drive belt 520, the transmission module 530, the lifting sub-module 532, and the horizontal rail assembly 200 to ensure the normal operation of the automatic ironing device.

[0072] The drive shaft 531 is equipped with a second drive wheel 5311. The drive belt 520 meshes with the output shaft of the motor 510 and the second drive wheel 5311, enabling the motor 510 to drive the drive shaft 531. For the lifting submodule 532, the drive shaft 531 drives the first drive wheel 533 and the lifting belt 534, and the horizontal rail assembly 200 moves up and down with the lifting belt 534. It should be noted that, regarding the movement of the lifting belt 534, if the first drive wheel 533 is considered the driving wheel, the lifting submodule 532 often also includes a driven wheel, so that the lifting belt 534 meshes with both the first drive wheel 533 and the driven wheel to achieve the movement of the lifting belt 534.

[0073] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0074] Example 9

[0075] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a hanging part 700 is provided at the top of the vertical rail assembly 100, and the hanging part 700 is used to hang the clothes to be cared for. Optionally, a clothes hanger is hung on the hanging part 700, and the clothes to be cared for are placed on the clothes hanger.

[0076] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the automatic ironing device includes a first support 810 and a second support 820. The motor 510 and the guide part 620 are both connected to the first support 810, and the traction part 630 and the support part 640 are both connected to the second support 820. This contributes to the smooth operation of the power component 500 and also to the stability of the braking component 600's contact braking with the drive belt 520. The remaining aspects of this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0077] Example 10

[0078] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, the automatic ironing device includes at least two horizontal rail assemblies 200 and at least two power assemblies 500, with each horizontal rail assembly 200 and power assembly 500 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. At least one horizontal rail assembly 200 contains an ironing component 300 for ironing or drying clothing, and at least one horizontal rail assembly 200 contains a flattening component 400 for clamping and flattening clothing.

[0079] Based on this, the automatic ironing device can be equipped with at least two braking components 600, and the braking components 600 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the power components 500. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the horizontal rail components 200, the power components 500 and the braking components 600, each horizontal rail component 200 can be guaranteed to have a corresponding braking component 600 to brake it in time when it falls.

[0080] Furthermore, the automatic ironing device can also be equipped with only one braking component 600. This braking component 600 engages with or disengages from the power component 500 corresponding to the lowest-positioned horizontal rail component 200. Thus, with only one braking component 600, when the power component 500 is in an abnormal state, only the lowest-positioned horizontal rail component 200 needs to be braked to prevent it from falling. Any falling horizontal rail components 200 will only land on the lowest-positioned component and will not continue to fall downwards, achieving a fall prevention function for all horizontal rail components 200.

[0081] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0083] As attached Figure 1-5 and appendix Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment, as a preferred automatic ironing device, includes:

[0084] A vertical rail assembly 100 is provided with a guide groove 110 for providing vertical displacement guidance;

[0085] The first transmission component 120 is disposed within the guide groove 110;

[0086] The first slider 140 is disposed on the guide groove 110, fixedly connected to the first transmission member 120, and can move along the guide groove 110 in the vertical direction under the drive of the first transmission member 120.

[0087] The second transmission component 130 can be disposed outside the guide groove 110;

[0088] The second slider 150 is disposed on the guide groove 110, and at least a portion of the structure of the second slider 150 extends out of the guide groove 110. The portion of the second slider 150 extending out of the guide groove 110 is fixedly connected to the second transmission member 130. The second slider 150 can move in the vertical direction along the guide groove 110 under the drive of the second transmission member 130.

[0089] Accordingly, the automatic ironing device includes two horizontal rail assemblies 200, referred to as the first horizontal rail 210 and the second horizontal rail 220 respectively. The first horizontal rail 210 is connected to the first slider 140, and the second horizontal rail 220 is connected to the second slider 150. An ironing component 300 is provided on the first horizontal rail 210 for ironing or drying clothes, and a flattening component 400 is provided on the second horizontal rail 220 for clamping and flattening clothes.

[0090] This allows the automatic ironing device to be equipped with an ironing component 300 and a flattening component 400 that can move independently of each other, enabling the ironing component 300 and the flattening component 400 to operate synchronously or asynchronously. This achieves diversification of the two operating conditions of ironing and flattening clothes, and can meet the diverse ironing and care needs of different clothes.

[0091] A plurality of guide rails 111 are provided in the guide groove 110, a plurality of first guide rollers are provided on the first slider 140, and a plurality of second guide rollers are provided on the second slider 150. The first guide rollers and second guide rollers cooperate with the guide rails 111 for guidance. The arrangement of the guide rollers helps to reduce the friction between the guide rails 111 and the slider, making their movement in the vertical direction smoother.

[0092] Preferably, the first slider 140 is disposed above the second slider 150. Correspondingly, the ironing component 300 is located above the flattening component 400. That is, the ironing component 300 is located between the garment hanging point (which can be regarded as a clothes hanger) and the flattening component 400. By utilizing the pulling and flattening force formed between the flattening component 400 and the garment hanging point, the ironing component 300 irons the flattened part of the garment, which can effectively reduce the unevenness caused by the folding of the corners of the garment to be cared for, so as to avoid deformation or obvious ironing marks after ironing and care, and ensure the ironing and care effect of the garment to be cared for.

[0093] Meanwhile, the automatic ironing device is equipped with two sets of power components 500. One set provides driving force for the up-and-down movement of the first horizontal rail 210, and the other set provides driving force for the up-and-down movement of the second horizontal rail 220. The arrangement of these two sets of power components 500, while meeting the requirements of reasonable layout and avoiding spatial interference, can refer to the content of Embodiment 8.

[0094] Correspondingly, the automatic ironing device can have two braking components 600, and the braking components 600 are set one-to-one with the power components 500. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the horizontal rail components 200, the power components 500 and the braking components 600, each horizontal rail component 200 can be guaranteed to have a corresponding braking component 600 to brake it in time when it falls.

[0095] Of course, the automatic ironing device can also be equipped with only one braking component 600, which engages with or disengages from the power component 500 corresponding to the second horizontal rail 220. Thus, only one braking component 600 is needed. When the power component 500 is in an abnormal state, only the second horizontal rail 220 needs to be braked to prevent it from falling downwards. If the first horizontal rail 210 falls, it will only land on the second horizontal rail 220 and will not continue to fall downwards, achieving the anti-fall function for all horizontal rail components 200.

[0096] The remaining solutions in this embodiment can adopt the technical solutions of at least one of the other embodiments.

[0097] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
