Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam brushes, and in particular to a mechanical adjustment structure and a steam brush. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, steam brushes are a common ironing tool widely used in both home and commercial ironing settings. However, in terms of voltage adaptability, most traditional steam brushes are designed to be compatible with only a single standard voltage. Globally, different countries and regions use varying mains voltage standards; for example, some countries use 220-240V, while others use 100-127V. When users use steam brushes in regions with different voltage standards, if the steam brush lacks voltage regulation, a complex and expensive transformer is required to adapt to the local voltage. Even if the steam brush uses an electronic module for automatic voltage recognition, solving the global compatibility issue, the electronic module is very expensive, significantly increasing the product price. This not only increases usage costs but also brings numerous inconveniences. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a mechanical adjustment structure and a steam brush in light of the current state of the technology.

[0005] By setting up a mechanical adjustment structure and a steam brush, the mechanical adjustment structure includes a mechanical rotary switch for switching different voltages, a first heating element, a second heating element, a water pump, and a resistor. The mechanical rotary switch has a first switching position and a second switching position that can be switched to different voltage values. By switching the physical position of the mechanical rotary switch, the connection combination of the heating element and the water pump can be changed to match different input voltages. This enables flexible switching of the working voltage according to different needs, meets various usage scenarios, improves the applicability of the steam brush, and also reduces the cost of use.

[0006] Preferably, the first switching position is connected to the second heating element and the water pump respectively, and the water pump is connected to the first switching position through a resistor to form a first connection path.

[0007] By setting a first switching position to connect the second heating element and the water pump respectively, and the water pump is connected to the first switching position through a resistor to form a first connection path, the second heating element and the water pump can be ensured to work together under a specific voltage. The resistor can adjust the operating parameters of the water pump, so that the steam brush can operate stably in this voltage mode, ensuring steam supply and heating effect.

[0008] Preferably, the second switching position is connected to the first heating element, the second heating element and the water pump to form a second connection path.

[0009] By setting a second conversion mode, the first heating element and the second heating element are connected to the water pump to form a second connection path. In another voltage mode, the two heating elements and the water pump work together to provide stronger heating and steam generation capabilities, meeting the different requirements of different clothing materials or ironing tasks for steam volume and temperature, and expanding the function of the steam brush.

[0010] Preferably, when the mechanical rotary switch is in the first switching position, the second heating element and the water pump are connected through the first switching position, and the first connection path is open.

[0012] Preferably, when the mechanical rotary switch is in the second switching position, the first heating element, the second heating element and the water pump are connected through the second switching position, and the second connection path is open.

[0013] By setting the first heating element, the second heating element, and the water pump to be connected through the second switching position when the mechanical rotary switch is in the second switching position, and the second connection path to be open, the circuit connection state of the steam brush under the second voltage value is clearly defined, ensuring that the components of the device work together in this voltage mode to achieve heating and steam generation at different power levels, thus meeting diverse ironing needs.

[0014] Preferably, the first voltage value is 220-240V.

[0015] By setting the first voltage value to 220-240V, it is compatible with common high-voltage mains environments, allowing the steam brush to be directly connected to the local standard mains in most areas without the need for additional voltage conversion equipment. This makes it convenient for users to use the product in different regions and expands its applicability.

[0016] Preferably, the second voltage value is 100-127V.

[0017] By setting the second voltage value to 100-127V, the steam brush can be adapted to low-voltage mains environments, further enhancing its applicability in different voltage regions.

[0030] In this embodiment 1,

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a mechanical adjustment structure 1 and a steam brush 11. The mechanical adjustment structure 1 includes a mechanical rotary switch 2 for switching different voltages, a first heating element 3, a second heating element 4, a water pump 5, and a resistor 6. The mechanical rotary switch 2 has a first switching position 7 that can be switched to a first voltage value and a second switching position 8 that can be switched to a second voltage value.

[0032] By setting up a mechanical adjustment structure 1 and a steam brush 11, the mechanical adjustment structure 1 includes a mechanical rotary switch 2 for switching different voltages, a first heating element 3, a second heating element 4, a water pump 5, and a resistor 6. The mechanical rotary switch 2 has a first switching position 7 and a second switching position 8 that can be switched to different voltage values. By switching the physical position of the mechanical rotary switch 2, the connection combination of the heating element and the water pump 5 can be changed to match different input voltages. This enables flexible switching of the working voltage according to different needs, meets various usage scenarios, improves the applicability of the steam brush 11, and also reduces the cost of use.

[0033] The first switching position 7 is connected to the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 respectively, and the water pump 5 is connected to the first switching position 7 through the resistor 6 to form the first connection path 9.

[0034] By setting the first conversion gear 7, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected respectively, and the water pump 5 is connected to the first conversion gear 7 through the resistor 6 to form the first connection path 9. Under a specific voltage, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are ensured to work together. The resistor 6 can adjust the operating parameters of the water pump 5, so that the steam brush 11 can operate stably in this voltage mode, ensuring steam supply and heating effect.

[0035] The second switching position 8 is connected to the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 to form a second connection passage 10.

[0036] By setting the second conversion gear 8, the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected to form a second connection path 10. In another voltage mode, the two heating elements and the water pump 5 work together to provide stronger heating and steam generation capabilities, meet the different requirements of different clothing materials or ironing tasks for steam volume and temperature, and expand the function of the steam brush 11.

[0037] When the mechanical rotary switch 2 is in the first switching position 7, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected through the first switching position 7, and the first connection passage 9 is open.

[0038] By setting the mechanical rotary switch 2 to the first switching position 7, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected through the first switching position 7, and the first connection path 9 is open, thus clarifying the working circuit connection method of the steam brush 11 under the first voltage value, ensuring that the equipment starts and runs accurately and stably in this mode, and realizes the corresponding heating and steam output functions.

[0039] When the mechanical rotary switch 2 is in the second switching position 8, the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected through the second switching position 8, and the second connection passage 10 is open.

[0040] By setting the mechanical rotary switch 2 to the second switching position 8, the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5 are connected through the second switching position 8, and the second connection path 10 is open, the circuit connection state of the steam brush 11 under the second voltage value is clearly defined, ensuring that the components of the device work together in this voltage mode to achieve heating and steam generation at different power levels, and meet diverse ironing needs.

[0041] The first voltage value is 220-240V.

[0042] By setting the first voltage value to 220-240V, it adapts to common high-voltage mains environments, allowing the steam brush 11 to be directly connected to local standard mains power in most areas without the need for additional voltage conversion equipment. This makes it convenient for users to use in different regions and expands the product's applicability.

[0043] The second voltage value is 100-127V.

[0044] By setting the second voltage value to 100-127V, the applicability of the steam brush 11 in different voltage regions is further enhanced to take into account low voltage mains environments. It can work normally in some special voltage areas in China or in areas with different voltage standards abroad, thus improving the product's versatility.

[0045] A steam brush 11 includes a mechanical adjustment structure 1 as described above. The mechanical adjustment structure 1 is built into the steam brush 11, and the steam brush 11 can operate normally under different power supply voltages through the mechanical adjustment structure 1.

[0046] By setting up a steam brush 11, including the aforementioned mechanical adjustment structure 1, the steam brush 11 has flexible voltage adjustment capability, and the working mode can be adjusted according to the actual usage scenario and needs, effectively improving the practicality and adaptability of the steam brush 11 and meeting the diverse ironing needs of users.

[0047] In this embodiment 2,

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model incorporates a mechanical adjustment structure 1 and a steam brush 11. The mechanical adjustment structure 1 includes a mechanical rotary switch 2, a first heating element 3, a second heating element 4, a water pump 5, and a resistor 6. The mechanical rotary switch 2 has different switching positions to switch between different voltage values. The first switching position 7 connects the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5, forming a first connection path 9 to ensure stable operation of the device under the first voltage value. The second switching position 8 connects the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4, and the water pump 5, forming a second connection path 10 to ensure stable operation of the device under the second voltage value. Furthermore, by setting two common voltage values ​​to adapt to different mains power environments, the steam brush 11 can flexibly adapt to various usage scenarios, meet diverse ironing needs, and improve practicality, versatility, and stability.

[0049] In this embodiment 3,

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this invention, the mechanical rotary switch 2 is the core control component of the entire adjustment structure. It has a first switching position 7 that can be switched to a first voltage value (220-240V) and a second switching position 8 that can be switched to a second voltage value (100-127V). The user can manually rotate the mechanical rotary switch 2 to select the appropriate position according to the voltage conditions of the actual usage scenario.

[0051] When the mechanical rotary switch 2 is in the first switching position 7, this position connects the second heating element 4 and the water pump 5, and the water pump 5 is connected to the first switching position 7 via a resistor 6 to form a first connection path 9. At this time, the circuit is connected, and the second heating element 4 starts to work, converting electrical energy into heat energy to heat the water inside the steam brush 11. The resistor 6 plays a role in adjusting the operating parameters of the water pump 5 during this process. According to the circuit design and actual needs, it limits the current, thereby controlling the speed and water flow of the water pump 5. The water pump 5 draws an appropriate amount of water, which is heated and converted into steam, and then sprayed out from the steam brush 11 to meet the ironing work under low power requirements. This is suitable for ironing some thin clothing or ironing scenarios where the requirements for steam volume and temperature are not high.

[0052] When the mechanical rotary switch 2 is in the second switching position 8, the second switching position 8 connects the first heating element 3, the second heating element 4, and the water pump 5 to form a second connection path 10. In this case, the first heating element 3 and the second heating element 4 work simultaneously, increasing the heating power of the water so that the water can be converted into steam more quickly. The water pump 5, also driven by the circuit, draws an appropriate amount of water to meet the steam generation requirements under higher power conditions. The synergistic operation of the dual heating elements enables the steam brush 11 to generate more steam and higher temperature steam, which is suitable for ironing thicker clothing or for scenarios requiring quick wrinkle removal. By using higher temperature and more steam, wrinkles in clothing are smoothed out more effectively.

[0053] By switching between different settings using the mechanical rotary switch 2, the steam brush 11 can flexibly adapt to different voltage environments and diverse ironing needs, providing users with a convenient and efficient ironing experience.

[0054] In the description of this specification, references are made to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example".
