Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ironing equipment technology, and more specifically, to an energy-saving ironing board. Background Technology

[0002] The garment ironing industry is a high-energy-consuming sector. Ironing is an essential step in garment production, and traditional ironing equipment primarily relies on electricity or steam. With the continuous development of the garment industry, higher demands are being placed on the energy efficiency and environmental performance of ironing equipment.

[0003] Traditional ironing tables mainly consist of a base, motor, centrifugal fan, tabletop, ironing arms, ironing sponge, foot switch, and electric heating element. The tabletop typically includes the main body and ventilation channels for the ironing arms. Its working principle is as follows: when the electric heating element and motor start working, the fan draws away and removes the high-temperature steam passing through the ironing sponge, completing the ironing process. Simultaneously, the electric heating element uses heat radiation to dry the inner cavity, sponge, and ironing cloth, ensuring the fabric is dry, especially important in humid and cold weather.

[0004] Although traditional ironing boards are equipped with electric heating functions, the actual power of the electric heating is several times that of the motor. When in suction mode, the heat radiation from the electric heating rod to the sponge and ironing cloth is very limited, which cannot effectively ensure that the board is dry, and at the same time, it causes serious waste of electricity.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the problem that traditional ironing tables cannot effectively ensure the dryness of the work surface and consume a lot of energy is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving ironing table that can ensure the tabletop is dry after use while reducing the overall power consumption, thereby achieving the goal of energy saving.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An energy-saving ironing board includes:

[0009] The base has a grooved tabletop on top, and an ironing sponge is placed on top of the tabletop.

[0010] The suction device is located on the base and communicates with the groove of the table;

[0011] Drying device, located in a groove on the platform;

[0012] The switching module, located on the base, is used to control the intelligent switching between the suction device and the drying device, so that one of the suction device and the drying device can operate independently.

[0013] Preferably, the base has a foot pedal at the bottom, and the foot pedal has a trigger switch for controlling the start and stop of the suction device.

[0014] Preferably, the switching module includes a control circuit for controlling the power connection between the suction device and the drying device.

[0015] Preferably, the control circuit includes a microprocessor, which controls the power connection of the suction device and the drying device according to preset logic.

[0016] Preferably, the switching module also includes a status indicator for displaying the operating status of the suction device and the drying device.

[0017] Preferably, the drying apparatus includes an electric heating element disposed in a groove in the platform.

[0018] Preferably, the groove of the tabletop is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet is provided with an air duct, and the air suction device is located at the bottom of the air inlet.

[0019] Preferably, the suction device includes a motor and a centrifugal impeller. The motor is located on the base, the output end of the motor is connected to the centrifugal impeller, and the centrifugal impeller is connected to the suction duct.

[0020] Preferably, the motor is equipped with an encoder for real-time detection of its own operating status, and the encoder is connected to the switching module via signal.

[0021] Preferably, a rocker arm is provided on one side of the table, and an ironing arm is provided at the end of the rocker arm away from the table. An ironing sponge is provided on the ironing arm, and the inner cavities of the ironing arm and the rocker arm are connected to the air intake duct.

[0022] The energy-saving ironing board provided by this utility model includes a base, a tabletop, a suction device, a drying device, and a switching module. Specifically, the top of the base is provided with a tabletop with a groove, and the top of the tabletop is provided with an ironing sponge. The suction device is located on the base and communicates with the groove of the tabletop. The suction device can suck the clothes to be ironed tightly onto the ironing sponge on the tabletop to ensure that the clothes will not move during the ironing process. When in use, high-temperature steam flows through the ironing sponge and fully contacts the clothes, so that the heat is transferred to the clothes, making the clothes soft and easy to iron. When the high-temperature steam releases heat, its temperature drops. When it reaches the dew point temperature, it begins to liquefy and form water droplets. The liquefied water droplets are absorbed by the ironing sponge and evenly distributed on the tabletop.

[0023] Meanwhile, the suction device can draw away and expel the high-temperature steam that has passed through the ironing sponge, which helps to dry clothes quickly and prevents them from becoming too wet. During the suction process, the clothes are cooled rapidly, the fibers shrink, and the clothes are shaped. This also reduces the water accumulation caused by the liquefaction of high-temperature steam. The drying device is located in a groove on the ironing board and can dry the water accumulated in the groove. The switching module is located on the base and is used to control the intelligent switching between the suction device and the drying device, so that one of them can operate independently. In other words, by setting up the switching module, only the suction device is activated when suction is needed to fix the fabric for ironing, and only the drying device is activated when heating and drying are needed. This on-demand operation avoids energy waste and improves energy efficiency, thus achieving the dual goals of energy saving and drying. Attached Figure Description

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] The core of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving ironing table that can ensure the tabletop 2 is dry after use while reducing the overall power consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An energy-saving ironing table includes a base 1, a tabletop 2, a suction device 3, a drying device 4, and a switching module 5.

[0041] Specifically, the base 1 has a grooved tabletop 2 on top, and an ironing sponge is placed on top of the tabletop 2. A suction device 3 is located on the base 1 and communicates with the groove of the tabletop 2. The suction device 3 can suck the clothes to be ironed tightly onto the ironing sponge on the tabletop 2 to ensure that the clothes will not move during ironing. When in use, high-temperature steam flows through the ironing sponge and fully contacts the clothes, so that the heat is transferred to the clothes, making them soft and easy to iron. When the high-temperature steam releases heat, its temperature drops and when it reaches the dew point temperature, it begins to liquefy and form water droplets. The liquefied water droplets are absorbed by the ironing sponge and evenly distributed on the tabletop 2.

[0042] Meanwhile, the suction device 3 can draw away and expel the high-temperature steam that has passed through the ironing sponge, which helps to dry clothes quickly and prevent them from becoming too wet. During the suction process, the clothes are cooled quickly, the fibers shrink, and the clothes are shaped. It can also reduce the water accumulation caused by the liquefaction of high-temperature steam. The drying device 4 is located in the groove of the table plate 2. The drying device 4 can dry the water accumulated in the groove. The switching module 5 is located on the base 1 and is used to control the intelligent switching between the suction device 3 and the drying device 4, so that one of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4 can operate independently. That is, by setting the switching module 5, only the suction device 3 is activated when suction is needed to fix the fabric for ironing; only the drying device 4 is activated when heating and drying are needed. The on-demand activation method avoids energy waste and improves energy efficiency, so as to achieve the dual goals of energy saving and drying.

[0043] The energy-saving ironing table designed in the above manner adds a switching module 5 to the traditional ironing table base 1. During ironing, the suction device 3 operates at normal power, and the drying device 4 stops working. After ironing, the switching module 5 is activated, the suction device 3 stops operating, and the drying device 4 starts working. Through this working method, the table 2 can be kept dry, and the overall power consumption is lower.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a foot pedal 6, and the foot pedal 6 is provided with a trigger switch for controlling the start and stop of the suction device 3.

[0045] It should be noted that stepping on foot pedal 6 triggers the trigger switch inside foot pedal 6, which controls the suction device 3 to start operating. At the same time, the suction device 3 sends a signal to the switching module 5, which controls the drying device 4 to stop working. After the suction device 3 stops working, it sends a signal to the switching module 5 again, which controls the drying device 4 to start working. After ironing is finished, stepping on foot pedal 6 again triggers the trigger switch inside foot pedal 6, which controls the entire machine to stop operating.

[0046] In the above case, the switching module 5 includes a control circuit, which is used to control the power connection between the suction device 3 and the drying device 4.

[0047] It is understandable that the switching module 5 controls whether the power supply of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4 is turned on. When the suction device 3 needs to work, the switching module 5 controls the power supply of the suction device 3 to be turned on. When the drying device 4 needs to work, the switching module 5 controls the power supply of the drying device 4 to be turned on.

[0048] Furthermore, the control circuit includes a microprocessor, which controls the power connection of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4 according to preset logic.

[0049] It should be noted that the power supply of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4 is controlled by the microprocessor. When the suction device 3 needs to work, the microprocessor controls the power supply of the suction device 3 to be turned on. When the drying device 4 needs to work, the microprocessor controls the power supply of the drying device 4 to be turned on.

[0050] By intelligently switching the operating states of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4, energy consumption can be effectively reduced. When suction is needed to hold the fabric in place for ironing, only the suction device 3 is activated; when heating and drying are required, only the drying device 4 is activated. This on-demand activation method avoids energy waste and improves energy efficiency.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the switching module 5 further includes a status indicator for displaying the working status of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4.

[0052] Understandably, by setting up status indicators to display the working status of the suction device 3 and the drying device 4 in real time, staff can observe the operation of the entire machine in real time through the status indicators.

[0053] Furthermore, the switching module 5 also includes an alarm that is triggered when either the suction device 3 or the drying device 4 malfunctions, prompting staff to troubleshoot the problem.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, the drying device 4 includes an electric heating element disposed in a groove in the platform 2.

[0055] It should be noted that the grooves on the ironing board 2 are dried using electric heating elements. Specifically, the electric heating elements can be electric heating tubes, which can be arranged at various positions in the grooves. By precisely controlling the activation timing of the electric heating elements—that is, heating and drying the ironing board 2 immediately after ironing—the problem of water accumulation on the ironing board 2 is effectively avoided. This ensures that even in humid or cold environments, the ironing board 2 and the sponge can quickly return to a dry state, improving ironing quality and efficiency.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the groove of the platform 2 is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet is provided with an air inlet channel, and the air inlet device 3 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet.

[0057] Understandably, the suction device 3 is activated to fix the fabric to be ironed on the ironing table 2. During the ironing process, it can draw out the steam passing through the fabric and discharge the steam through the suction port and suction duct to reduce the condensation caused by the liquefaction of steam in the ironing table 2.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the suction device 3 includes a motor 31 and a centrifugal impeller 32. The motor 31 is located on the base 1, and the output end of the motor 31 is connected to the centrifugal impeller 32. The centrifugal impeller 32 is connected to the suction duct.

[0059] It should be noted that the switching module 5 controls the motor 31 to start, driving the centrifugal fan 32 to rotate. The high-speed rotation of the centrifugal fan 32 generates a strong airflow that flows downwards, creating a low-pressure area on the ironing table 2. This low-pressure area generates strong suction, which can hold the fabric being ironed, preventing it from sliding as the iron moves. During ironing, the fabric is heated by the high-temperature iron and becomes soft. The suction generated by the suction device 3 can quickly fix the freshly ironed fabric on the table 2, keeping it flat during cooling, thus achieving rapid cooling and shaping.

[0060] In the above case, the motor 31 is equipped with an encoder for real-time detection of its own operating status, and the encoder is connected to the switching module 5 via a signal.

[0061] It is understandable that the encoder transmits signals to the switching module 5 so that the switching module 5 controls the heating state of the electric heating element.

[0062] In the above embodiment, a rocker arm 7 is provided on one side of the table plate 2, and an ironing arm 8 is provided at the end of the rocker arm 7 away from the table plate 2. An ironing sponge is provided on the ironing arm 8, and the inner cavity of the ironing arm 8 and the rocker arm 7 are connected to the air suction duct.

[0063] It should be noted that the ironing arm 8 is equipped with an ironing sponge, which provides soft support, allowing the garment to fit more closely to the surface of the ironing arm during ironing. This reduces slippage and wrinkles, thereby improving ironing stability and quality, ensuring the garment remains flat, and minimizing wrinkles and deformation, thus enhancing the ironing effect. The inner cavities of the ironing arm 8 and the rocker arm 7 are connected to an air intake duct, allowing the ironing arm 8 to generate suction during ironing, tightly adhering the garment to its surface. This better secures the garment, further reducing shaking and wrinkles during ironing, and improving the evenness and consistency of the ironing. Moreover, the connection between the air intake duct and the ironing arm 8 allows for the rapid removal of water vapor generated during ironing, reducing the time water vapor remains on the surface of the ironing arm 8, thereby shortening ironing time and improving ironing efficiency. The rocker arm 7 allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the ironing arm 8, enabling the operator to flexibly adjust the ironing angle and position according to the size and shape of the garment, improving operational flexibility and convenience, and enhancing the user experience.

[0064] This ironing board can shut off the electric heating element when the motor 31 is working and vice versa, thus reducing wear on the motor 31 and the electric heating element, extending the equipment's lifespan, and helping to reduce maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Intelligent switching avoids potential safety hazards such as overheating and short circuits that could arise from simultaneous operation of the motor 31 and the electric heating element, thereby improving operational safety and enhancing the equipment's adaptability and flexibility to meet diverse ironing needs.

[0065] In summary, the energy-saving ironing board provided by this utility model achieves steam extraction using only the motor 31 during ironing by intelligently switching the working states of the motor 31 and the electric heating element, while using electric heating for drying during ironing breaks. This avoids the high-energy-consuming mode of traditional ironing boards where electric heating and motor 31 work simultaneously throughout the ironing process, significantly reducing energy consumption. It has a simple structure, can achieve automated control, simplifies the operation process, and improves work efficiency.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] The energy-saving 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. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
