[0016] Preferably, the limiting device further includes an elastic rubber block, wherein the outer surface of the elastic rubber block is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the elastic ring block.

[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up elastic rubber blocks, the contact friction of the inner wall of the elastic ring block can be increased, making it less likely for the finger to slip after being inserted into the inner wall of the elastic ring block, thus limiting its position more firmly.

[0018] Preferably, reinforcing rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting block, and one side of the reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the elastic ring block.

[0019] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up reinforcing rods, the connection area between the elastic ring block and the connecting block can be increased, making the connection more secure and less prone to breakage or damage.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] By incorporating a protective device, when ironing clothes with an electric iron, the aluminum plate at the bottom of the iron is connected to the internal heating element. When the power cord is plugged into the socket and connected to the power source, the heating element inside the iron heats up, causing the aluminum plate to absorb heat. Then, holding the iron by the handle, place one side of the aluminum plate on the flat surface of the clothes on a table. As the aluminum plate contacts the surface of the clothes, it causes one side of the protective cover to also press against the clothes and slide to one end. This causes the slider to slide to one end within the inner wall of the rectangular hole, compressing the spring. This process... The protective cover protects the outer surface of the aluminum plate without obstructing contact between the aluminum plate and clothing, facilitating ironing. The protective cover also blocks the area around the outer surface, reducing the risk of accidental contact and burns during ironing, thus minimizing safety hazards.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" 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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Figure 1-4 The illustrated garment ironing device includes an electric iron 1 (model STH3050). An aluminum plate 4 is mounted on one side of the electric iron 1, and a power cord 5 is mounted on the other side. A protective device 2 is provided on the outer surface of the electric iron 1. The protective device 2, through a protective cover 22, covers the outer surface of the electric iron 1 where the aluminum plate 4 is located, thereby preventing accidental burns. It should be noted that the electric iron 1 represents a mature existing technology and equipment; its internal structure, connection method, and operating principle will not be elaborated upon here.

[0031] Figure 1-4The protective device 2 shown includes a protective cover 22, which is fitted onto the outer surface of one end of the electric iron 1; two rectangular holes 21, one side of which is fixedly mounted on one side of the electric iron 1; two sliders 23, one end of which is fixedly mounted on one side of the inner wall of the protective cover 22, while the other end is slidably mounted in the inner wall of the rectangular holes 21; and a plurality of springs 24, the two ends of which are symmetrically fixedly mounted on one side of the rectangular holes 21 and one side of the sliders 23, respectively. By setting up the protective device 2, when using the electric iron 1 to iron clothes, since the aluminum plate 4 at the bottom of the electric iron 1 is connected to the internal heating element, when the power cord 5 is plugged into the socket and connected to the power supply, the heating element inside the electric iron 1 will heat up. At this time, the aluminum plate 4 will absorb heat. Then, holding the handle of the electric iron 1, one side of the aluminum plate 4 is placed on the flat surface of the clothes on the table. When the aluminum plate 4 contacts the surface of the clothes, it will cause one side of the protective cover 22 to also abut against the clothes and slide to one end, causing the slider 23 to slide to one end in the inner wall of the rectangular hole block 21, thus compressing the spring 24. The protective cover 22 covers the outer surface of the aluminum plate 4 while not hindering the contact between the aluminum plate 4 and the clothing, facilitating ironing. The protective cover can block the surrounding area of ​​the outer surface, thus preventing accidental contact during ironing, avoiding burns, and reducing safety hazards during the use of the electric iron 1. At the same time, after the electric iron 1 is picked up, the protective cover 22 can be reset by the spring 24 to cover one end of the outer surface of the aluminum plate 4. If the aluminum plate 4 has not cooled down during placement, and someone accidentally approaches one side of the aluminum plate 4, the protective cover 22 will be the first to touch and block it, thus achieving a protective effect.

[0032] Figure 1-4The protective device 2 also includes several telescopic rods 25, the outer surface of which is installed through the inner wall of the spring 24, and both ends are fixedly installed on one side of the rectangular hole block 21 and one side of the slider 23, respectively. By setting the telescopic rods 25, the inner wall of the spring 24 can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use and extending its service life. The protective device 2 also includes several ball bearings 26, which are rotatably installed on the side of the protective cover 22 away from the spring 24. By setting the ball bearings 26, the contact friction between the protective cover 22 and the surface of the clothing can be reduced, so that when the aluminum plate 4 moves back and forth on the clothing, the protective cover 22 moves with it and is less likely to wear down the surface of the clothing. The protective device 2 also includes a baffle 27, one side of which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protective cover 22 where the ball bearings 26 are located, and the area of ​​the end of the baffle 27 near the ball bearings 26 is smaller than the area of ​​the other end. By setting the baffle 27, the bottom edge of the protective cover 22 can be made smoother, so that the clothes are less likely to wrinkle when the protective cover 22 moves back and forth, thus avoiding affecting the ironing process.

[0033] Figure 1-4 The electric iron 1 shown has several limiting devices 3 on one side. Each limiting device 3 includes a connecting block 31, one side of which is fixedly mounted on one side of the electric iron 1; and an elastic ring block 32, the outer surface of which is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting block 31. By setting the limiting devices 3, when using the electric iron 1, the fingers of the hand holding the handle can be inserted into the inner walls of the elastic ring blocks 32, and then fixed to one side of the electric iron 1 by the connecting block 31. This provides a more secure grip during use, preventing the iron from slipping out and improving safety.

[0034] Figure 1-4 The limiting device 3 also includes an elastic rubber block 33, the outer surface of which is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the elastic ring block 32. By providing the elastic rubber block 33, the contact friction of the inner wall of the elastic ring block 32 can be increased, making it less likely for the finger to slip after being inserted into the inner wall of the elastic ring block 32, thus limiting its movement more firmly. Reinforcing rods 34 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting block 31, with one side of the reinforcing rod 34 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the elastic ring block 32. By providing the reinforcing rods 34, the connection area between the elastic ring block 32 and the connecting block 31 can be increased, making the connection more secure and less prone to breakage or damage.

[0035] Working principle: By setting up the protective device 2, when using the electric iron 1 to iron clothes, since the aluminum plate 4 at the bottom of the electric iron 1 is connected to the internal heating element, when the power cord 5 is plugged into the socket to connect the power, the heating element inside the electric iron 1 will heat up. At this time, the aluminum plate 4 will absorb heat. Then, holding the handle of the electric iron 1, one side of the aluminum plate 4 is placed on the flat surface of the clothes on the table. When the aluminum plate 4 contacts the surface of the clothes, it will cause one side of the protective cover 22 and several ball bearings 26 to also abut against the clothes and slide to one end. This will cause the slider 23 to slide to one end in the inner wall of the rectangular hole block 21, so that the spring 24 and the telescopic rod 2 5 is compressed, so that the protective cover 22 can cover the outer surface of the aluminum plate 4 for protection without hindering the contact between the aluminum plate 4 and the clothes, which is convenient for ironing. The protective plate can block the surrounding area of ​​the outer surface, so that the accidental contact is less likely to occur during ironing, avoiding burns and reducing safety hazards during the use of the electric iron 1. At the same time, after the electric iron 1 is picked up, under the reset action of the spring 24, the protective cover 22 can be reset to cover one end of the outer surface of the aluminum plate 4. If the aluminum plate 4 has not cooled down during the placement process, and someone accidentally gets close to one side of the aluminum plate 4, it will be touched and blocked by the protective cover 22 first, which can also achieve the protection effect.

[0036] When using the electric iron 1, the fingers of the hand holding the handle of the electric iron 1 can be inserted into the inner wall of several elastic rings 32, and then fixed to one side of the electric iron 1 by the connecting block 31. In this way, the hand can be held more firmly during use, and it is not easy to slip out, thus improving the safety of use.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
