Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ironing equipment technology, and more specifically, to an ironing table surface structure and an ironing table. Background Technology
[0002] Ironing is a crucial step in garment manufacturing and maintenance. It not only removes wrinkles but also improves the garment's appearance, making the surface smoother, pleats and lines straighter, and even creating a three-dimensional effect. During ironing, the ironing board, as the primary shaping device, directly impacts the efficiency and quality of the process.
[0003] Traditional ironing tabletops mainly consist of a sheet metal surface, steel mesh, steel mesh support, ironing sponge, and ironing cloth. This type of tabletop cannot be completely frameless. Therefore, when ironing garments, it cannot completely absorb and remove the high-temperature steam passing through the ironing sponge. Over time, condensation will form at the contact point between the ironing sponge and the sheet metal surface, causing the garments to become wet and turn yellow.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of the inability of traditional ironing table edges to draw air is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tabletop structure for an ironing table that ensures that the edges of the ironing table can draw in air.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide an ironing table with the above-mentioned tabletop structure, which can improve the ironing effect of the ironing table.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An ironing table surface structure includes a shell, the shell having a recessed air suction chamber, the edge of the shell having a folded edge, the folded edge being parallel to the top surface of the shell, the folded edge having an air suction hole, the top of the air suction hole communicating with the air suction chamber, and the top of the shell having an ironing table sponge covering the air suction hole of the folded edge.
[0009] Preferably, the shell has folded edges at both ends extending along its length, and the folded edges extend along the width of the shell, with the air intake hole located at one end of the folded edge.
[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is provided below the folded edge, and the reinforcing rib connects the inner wall of the shell and the bottom surface of the folded edge.
[0011] Preferably, the air intake holes are arranged in a matrix and are evenly distributed along the folded edge.
[0012] Preferably, the air intake hole is circular, and the edge of the air intake hole is chamfered.
[0013] Preferably, a guide groove is provided at the bottom of the air intake.
[0014] Preferably, the suction chamber is provided with a bracket for fixing the steel mesh, the steel mesh is used to support the ironing table sponge, and the ironing table sponge is fixed to the shell by the ironing table cloth.
[0015] Preferably, the steel mesh has a grid-like structure.
[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the housing is provided with an air inlet, which is connected to the air inlet cavity, and an air inlet device is provided at the air inlet.
[0017] An ironing table includes the tabletop structure described above, and a heating tube for drying is provided inside the suction chamber.
[0018] The ironing table structure provided by this utility model includes a shell, with an ironing sponge at the top. The shell has a recessed suction chamber, which allows steam passing through the ironing sponge to be drawn into it. It also helps to hold the clothes to be ironed firmly onto the sponge, preventing movement during ironing. The edge of the shell has a folded edge parallel to the top surface, with suction holes at the top of the holes communicating with the suction chamber. The ironing sponge covers the suction holes on the folded edge. The folded edge supports the sponge, and the suction holes on this edge allow steam passing through the sponge to enter the suction chamber, improving steam permeability and preventing stagnation.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] The core of this invention is to provide a tabletop structure for an ironing table that ensures air can be drawn in from the edges. Another core aspect of this invention is to provide an ironing table including the aforementioned tabletop structure, which can improve the ironing effect.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hot ironing table surface structure includes a shell 1.
[0032] Specifically, the top of the housing 1 is provided with an ironing sponge 2. The housing 1 has a recessed suction chamber. By setting the suction chamber, the steam passing through the ironing sponge 2 can be drawn into the suction chamber. It can also hold the clothes to be ironed tightly on the ironing sponge 2 to ensure that the clothes will not move during ironing. The edge of the housing 1 is provided with a folded edge parallel to the top surface of the housing 1. The folded edge is provided with a suction hole 11. The top of the suction hole 11 is connected to the suction chamber. The ironing sponge 2 covers the suction hole 11 of the folded edge. By setting the folded edge to support the ironing sponge 2, and by setting the suction hole 11 on the folded edge supporting the ironing sponge 2, the steam passing through the ironing sponge 2 can enter the suction chamber through the suction hole 11 of the folded edge. This improves the steam permeability and prevents the steam passing through the ironing sponge 2 from stagnating at the folded edge. It can guide the steam to be quickly discharged from the folded edge, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of steam turning into condensation and accumulating at the folded edge, and preventing the phenomenon of clothes becoming wet and yellow due to water accumulation.
[0033] The ironing sponge 2 can completely overlap with the folded edge of the housing 1.
[0034] The ironing table structure designed in the above manner adds air suction holes 11 to the traditional shell 1, which significantly improves the permeability of high-temperature steam, reduces steam retention at the edge of the table, thereby reducing the generation of condensate, preventing the decrease in suction power and yellowing of clothing due to water accumulation, ensuring the suction strength at the edge of the ironing table, improving ironing efficiency and the types of garments that can be ironed, and enhancing the versatility of the equipment. It achieves the purpose of air suction at the edge of the ironing table, with a simple structure, easy implementation, low modification cost, and easy promotion and application.
[0035] In one embodiment, the shell 1 has folded edges at both ends extending along its length, and the folded edges extend along the width of the shell 1. A suction hole 11 is located at one end of the folded edge. Specifically, the suction hole 11 is located at the end of the folded edge closer to the worker, because workers typically place the garment to be ironed closer to themselves during ironing for easier operation. However, in practical applications, the specific location of the suction hole 11 on the folded edge is not limited; it can be located in all or part of the folded edge area.
[0036] In another embodiment, the shell 1 has folded edges at both ends extending along its length direction, with the folded edges extending along the width direction of the shell 1 (hereinafter referred to as longitudinal folded edges). The shell 1 also has folded edges at both ends extending along its width direction, with the folded edges extending along the length direction of the shell 1 (hereinafter referred to as transverse folded edges). Suction holes 11 are located on one transverse folded edge and two longitudinal folded edges near the worker. The suction holes 11 on the longitudinal folded edges are located at the end closest to the worker to facilitate ironing. In this arrangement, the suction holes 11 on the transverse folded edges can be larger or more densely packed to ensure steam throughput. However, in practical applications, the specific locations of the suction holes 11 on the transverse and longitudinal folded edges are not limited; they can be directly located in all or part of the area of the two transverse and two longitudinal folded edges.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to ensure the support strength of the folded edge, a reinforcing rib is provided below the folded edge. The reinforcing rib connects the inner wall of the shell 1 and the bottom surface of the folded edge to meet the rigidity requirements of the folded edge.
[0038] In the above embodiment, the suction hole 11 is provided in at least a portion of the folded edge. In order to allow the vapor at the edge of the housing 1 to be drawn away and prevent condensation from accumulating at the edge, the suction hole 11 is provided at the edge of the housing 1. The suction hole 11 can be provided in the entire area of the edge, or it can be provided only in a portion of the edge. There is no limitation on this.
[0039] In the above cases, the air intake holes 11 can be arranged in a single row, multiple rows, matrix, staggered, or spiral arrangement.
[0040] In one embodiment, the suction holes 11 are arranged in a single row, which is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and reduces production costs and processing difficulty. The directional suction effect is good, providing a clear exhaust channel for steam in a specific direction. For ironing operations that require focused suction in a specific direction, it can effectively guide steam out and reduce steam accumulation in localized areas. Maintenance and cleaning are convenient; because the suction holes 11 are arranged in a concentrated manner, cleaning blockages or performing maintenance is relatively easy, allowing for quick location and resolution of problems.
[0041] In one embodiment, the suction holes 11 are arranged in multiple rows. Compared to a single row, multiple rows of suction holes 11 can provide more suction channels, thereby enhancing the overall suction strength, more effectively expelling steam, and reducing the generation of condensate. The stronger suction capacity can speed up the steam expulsion rate, reduce waiting time during ironing, and thus improve overall ironing efficiency.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the suction holes 11 are arranged in a matrix and evenly distributed along the folded edge to ensure consistent suction effect across all areas of the housing 1's edge, avoiding issues of excessively strong or weak suction in certain areas, thus making the entire ironing process more uniform and stable. Uniform suction helps to better control steam discharge, reducing condensation buildup, thereby improving ironing quality and resulting in a smoother, crisper appearance for the garment.
[0043] In one embodiment, the suction holes 11 are arranged in a staggered pattern, which guides the steam to flow along a more complex path, allowing the steam to be fully dispersed during the discharge process, reducing the concentrated accumulation of steam in local areas, and further reducing the generation of condensate. It also increases the contact area between the steam and the suction holes 11, improving the steam discharge efficiency, thereby enhancing the overall suction effect and making the ironing table's suction performance even better.
[0044] In one embodiment, the suction holes 11 are arranged in a spiral pattern, which guides steam to exit in an orderly manner along the spiral path, creating a "guided flow" effect. This makes the steam exit more smoothly, reducing disordered flow and collisions of steam on the work surface and minimizing energy loss. Guided by the spiral path, steam can exit the ironing table more quickly, reducing its residence time on the surface and further reducing condensation, keeping the ironing table dry and clean. The spiral arrangement of the suction holes 11 fully utilizes the internal space of the ironing table, making the suction effect more concentrated and efficient, improving the overall suction efficiency of the ironing table and accelerating the steam exit speed during ironing. Because the steam can be exited in an orderly manner, internal pressure changes caused by steam and condensation accumulation are reduced, thereby enhancing the stability of the ironing table during use and extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0045] In practical applications, the air intake holes 11 can also be arranged in other ways, without any restrictions.
[0046] Furthermore, the shape of the air intake 11 can be any one or more of the following: circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, or irregular shapes.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the suction hole 11 is a circular hole with chamfered edges, resulting in uniform stress distribution and effectively reducing stress concentration, thereby improving the strength and durability of the housing 1. Furthermore, it is easy to process, has low production costs, and is highly versatile. The smooth edges of the circular hole reduce resistance to steam flow, facilitating smooth steam discharge and improving suction efficiency. In practical applications, rounded corners can be provided at the edges of the suction hole 11. By providing rounded or chamfered edges at the edges of the suction hole 11, resistance to steam passage can be reduced and steam discharge efficiency improved. Chamfered or rounded edges at the suction hole 11 offer significant advantages, including reduced stress concentration, optimized fluid flow, improved processing and assembly convenience, and enhanced aesthetics and safety.
[0048] In one embodiment, the suction hole 11 is configured as an elliptical hole. The long axis of the elliptical hole can better guide the flow direction of steam, so that steam can be discharged in a specific direction, thereby enhancing the directional suction effect. It can also adapt to steam flow in different directions, thereby improving the flexibility of suction.
[0049] In one embodiment, the suction holes 11 are set as rectangular holes, which can be arranged more closely together, increasing the number of suction holes 11 per unit area, resulting in high space utilization and thus enhancing the overall suction strength; the rectangular holes have a more regular shape, which can better integrate with the surrounding structure, providing stable support and enhancing the structural stability of the entire ironing table.
[0050] In one embodiment, the suction hole 11 is set as a polygonal hole, which can be designed with different numbers of sides and shapes according to actual needs, and has high design flexibility to meet special suction needs; the multiple sides of the polygonal hole can better guide the complex flow path of steam, so that the steam is more evenly dispersed during the discharge process and reduces local accumulation; the shape of the polygonal hole is relatively unique, which can provide more creative space for the appearance design of the ironing table, while meeting functional requirements.
[0051] In one embodiment, the air intake hole 11 is set as an irregularly shaped hole, which can be customized according to specific design requirements, providing a highly personalized solution to meet special application scenarios; the irregularly shaped hole can better adapt to complex steam flow conditions, guide the steam flow path through special design, and reduce the accumulation of condensate; the irregularly shaped hole can add unique creativity to the appearance design of the ironing table, and enhance the aesthetics and artistry of the product.
[0052] In one embodiment, the air intake 11 is configured to use a variety of air intake 11 shapes. By combining air intake 11 of different shapes, the advantages of various shapes can be combined to achieve better air intake effect, stress distribution and aesthetics. According to the air intake needs of different areas, the appropriate shape of the air intake 11 can be selected to better meet the complex usage scenarios and diverse needs. The combination of multiple shapes can provide more creative space for the overall design of the ironing table and improve the overall performance of the product and user experience.
[0053] In practical applications, the air intake hole 11 can also be set to other shapes, and there are no restrictions on this.
[0054] In the above embodiment, the air intake holes 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top edge of the housing 1.
[0055] Understandably, the symmetrical arrangement of the suction holes 11 on both sides of the top edge of the housing 1 ensures consistent suction on both sides of the ironing table, avoiding localized steam or condensation buildup caused by uneven suction. This uniformity is crucial for maintaining the flatness and quality of garments during ironing. Due to the uniform suction, steam can be more effectively discharged from both sides, reducing condensation buildup in the edge areas and preventing decreased suction and yellowing of garments due to water accumulation. It also allows for more efficient steam discharge, reducing steam residence time on the table surface, thus speeding up the ironing process and improving work efficiency. The uniform suction effect allows the ironing table to adapt to different types of garments, achieving good ironing results regardless of whether the fabric is thin or thick. The symmetrical design ensures a more uniform stress distribution on the housing 1, reducing structural deformation or damage caused by asymmetrical stress. The symmetrically arranged suction holes 11 maintain stable suction performance over long-term use, reducing overall performance degradation caused by blockage or damage to localized suction holes 11. The symmetrically arranged air intake holes 11 are visually more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing, meeting the aesthetic requirements of most users for the appearance of the equipment and enhancing the overall visual effect of the product. Symmetrical design is also easier to achieve during the design and manufacturing process, reducing production costs and processing difficulty.
[0056] In practical applications, the suction holes 11 can be set asymmetrically to better adapt to the complexity of steam flow, providing a more flexible suction path and ensuring ironing results. In some cases, an asymmetrical setting can better utilize the ironing board space, avoiding space waste caused by symmetrical design and improving the overall utilization rate of the equipment. By rationally distributing the suction holes 11, local stress concentration can be reduced, thereby improving the strength and durability of the housing 1 and enhancing the adaptability and reliability of the equipment.
[0057] Symmetrically arranged suction holes 11 offer advantages such as uniform suction, improved ironing efficiency, high structural stability, and aesthetic appeal, making them suitable for applications requiring high ironing performance and equipment stability. Asymmetrically arranged suction holes 11, on the other hand, optimize suction in specific areas, enhance equipment flexibility, allow for creative and personalized designs, and reduce localized stress concentration, making them suitable for applications requiring optimized suction in specific areas or handling complex garment structures. In practical applications, the appropriate suction hole layout 11 can be selected based on specific usage needs and design goals to achieve optimal ironing results and equipment performance.
[0058] In the above embodiment, a guide groove is provided at the bottom of the air intake hole 11.
[0059] Understandably, by incorporating flow guide channels, steam flow paths can be optimized, condensate buildup reduced, structural stability enhanced, equipment performance and lifespan improved, and aesthetics and safety enhanced. In practical applications, the shape, size, and layout of the flow guide channels can be rationally designed according to specific usage requirements.
[0060] The suction hole 11 can be connected to the suction system of the ironing table. Through the action of the suction system, the steam is quickly discharged from the suction hole 11, enhancing the suction effect.
[0061] Based on the above embodiment, the suction cavity is provided with a bracket 4 for fixing the steel mesh 3. The steel mesh 3 is used to support the ironing sponge 2, and the ironing sponge 2 is fixed to the housing 1 by the ironing cloth 5.
[0062] The ironing table's surface structure consists of a shell 1 with suction holes 11, an ironing sponge 2, a steel mesh 3, a support 4, and an ironing cloth 5. The steel mesh 3 supports the ironing sponge 2 and the ironing cloth 5; the support 4 supports the steel mesh 3; the ironing sponge 2 buffers and absorbs steam; and the ironing cloth 5 covers the ironing table surface and fixes the ironing sponge 2 to the shell 1.
[0063] In one embodiment, the steel mesh 3 is a grid-like structure. The steel mesh 3 is fixed to the housing 1 by the bracket 4, and the upper end face of the steel mesh 3 is flush with the upper end face of the housing 1 to ensure that the steel mesh 3 supports the ironing table sponge 2.
[0064] In another embodiment, the steel mesh 3 is composed of several steel pipes extending along the width direction of the housing 1. The two ends of the steel pipes are directly welded to the housing 1, or they can be fixed to the housing 1 by the bracket 4. In practical applications, there are no restrictions on the shape, arrangement, or number of the steel pipes.
[0065] In the above configuration, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with an air intake, which is connected to the air intake cavity. An air intake device is provided at the air intake. The air intake device draws the steam that has passed through the ironing sponge 2 out of the housing 1, ensuring that the clothes can be firmly attached to the ironing cloth 5 and will not move during ironing. It also ensures that the steam that has passed through the ironing sponge 2 is drawn into the air intake cavity and discharged from the housing 1 through the air intake device.
[0066] An ironing table includes the tabletop structure described above, and a heating tube for drying is provided inside the suction chamber. The heating tube dries the condensate in the suction chamber to ensure the dryness of the housing 1. The heating tube is arranged in the suction chamber without interfering with the suction port. The structure of other parts of the ironing table is described in the prior art and will not be repeated here.
[0067] In summary, the ironing table structure provided by this utility model adds air suction holes 11 to the edge of the traditional ironing table shell 1, which greatly increases the passage of high-temperature steam and significantly reduces the condensation generated at this point. This ensures the suction strength of the ironing table edge and improves ironing efficiency and the types of garments that can be ironed. It also solves the problem of garments becoming wet and yellow due to condensation caused by the inability of the ironing table edge to suction air.
[0068] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0069] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0070] The tabletop structure of an ironing table provided by this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model.
