[0002] In modern life, neat and tidy clothing is an important part of personal image management. Ironing machines, as key equipment for achieving this goal, have a wide range of applications, covering household clothing care, garment production and processing, hotel linen arrangement, and many other fields. As people's demands for quality of life continue to rise, they also have higher expectations for the functionality, efficiency, and user experience of ironing machines, driving the continuous development and innovation of ironing machine technology. Common ironing devices in the current technology include traditional electric irons and ordinary garment steamers. Traditional electric irons mainly consist of a metal soleplate, heating element, and handle. Their working principle involves heating the metal soleplate with the heating element, and the user holds the handle and presses the hot metal soleplate against the wrinkles of the garment. The high temperature and pressure help to shape the fabric fibers, achieving a wrinkle-removing effect. Ordinary garment steamers typically include a stand, water tank, steam nozzle, and tubing. During operation, water in the tank is heated to generate steam, which is then delivered to the steam nozzle through the tubing. The user holds the nozzle and sprays steam onto the hanging garment, using the heat of the steam to soften the fibers, and then smooths out the wrinkles by pulling or stretching the garment. However, existing ironing equipment has shortcomings in terms of ironing effect and efficiency. For example, traditional electric irons rely on manual pressure, which makes it difficult to ensure that heat penetrates evenly into the fibers of thicker or special-textured clothing. Often, repeated ironing is required to remove wrinkles, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but may also damage clothing due to excessively high local temperatures, failing to achieve efficient and even ironing.

The upper cover 3 and the top plate 6 are connected by a support frame 11, which allows for adjustment of the distance between them. The upper surface of the upper cover 3 is provided with a storage cover 8, and the upper surface of the top plate 6 is provided with a boss 20. The housing 1 contains a water tank 12, a steam generator 18, a fan 16, and an air duct 17. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 7, and the top plate 6 is provided with a hot air outlet 13, a fragrance outlet 14, a steam outlet 15, and a UV disinfection lamp 9. The upper cover 3 and the housing 1 are supported and connected by a folding support rod 11. A protective cover 2, an air mold 5, and a storage cover 8 are provided between the housing 1 and the upper cover 3. The upper cover 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 10. A clothes hanger 4 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the upper cover 3. The clothes hanger 4 can switch between three states. The water tank 12 is connected to the steam generator 18 through the water channel 19. The steam generator 18 is connected to the steam outlet 15. The fan 16 is connected to one end of the fan duct 23. The other end of the fan duct 23 is connected to the hot air outlet 13. The fragrance outlet 14 is located on the top plate 6. The boss 20 is located on the upper surface of the top plate 6. The lower part of the hot air outlet 13 is provided with a ceramic heating element. The hot air outlet 13 is located on the boss 20. The boss 20 includes a hollow cylindrical structure 25. The edge of the hollow cylindrical structure 25 is provided with a fixing ring 26. The boss 20 is connected to the lower edge of the inflatable model 5. The lower part of the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 22. The top plate 6 is provided with an exhaust gas inlet 24. The exhaust gas inlet 24 is connected to the air outlet 7 through the air duct 17. The inflatable model 5 is a clothing model.

[0018] Specifically, when the automatic ironing machine is working, the folding support rod 11 is first unfolded, and the top cover 3 is opened. At this time, the protective cover 2 is unfolded, creating a space for hanging and ironing clothes. The space formed between the bottom of the top cover 3 and the top plate 6 can store the air mold 5, etc. The air mold 5 has holes at the cuffs, neck, armpits, etc., which facilitates the circulation of hot air and reduces the drying time of clothes. The user takes out the air mold 5 (clothing mold) from the storage cover 8, puts the clothes on the air mold 5, and hangs the upper part of it on the clothes support 4 below the top cover 3. The lower part is correspondingly put on the protrusion 20, covering the hollow cylindrical structure 25 and the fixing ring 26. The protrusion 20 is set to adapt to the shape of the clothing mold. With the traditional rope-like tightening structure and elastic contraction structure, the clothing mold can be firmly fixed and fully unfolded. Gravity clips can also be added to the clothes to make the parts of the clothes more stretched. Water stored in water tank 12 is precisely delivered to steam generator 18 via waterway 19. Steam generator 18 is powered on and converts water into high-temperature steam. The steam is ejected from steam outlet 15 through pipes, directly acting on the clothes on the unfolded garment mold and the surface of inflatable mold 5. The penetrating power of the high-temperature steam softens the clothing fibers, smooths wrinkles, and achieves an ironing effect. At the same time, the fragrance module releases fragrance through fragrance outlet 14, which is dispersed with the airflow to give the clothes a pleasant scent. After the fan 16 is started, it draws in outside air through air inlet 22 at the bottom of housing 1, guides it through fan duct 23, heats it through the ceramic heating element of heating module, and blows out hot air at a suitable temperature from hot air outlet 13. Inside the device, hot air works in synergy with steam. On the one hand, it helps the steam to act evenly on the clothes, accelerating moisture evaporation and shaping. On the other hand, it promotes the diffusion of fragrance, allowing the fragrance to adhere more fully to the clothes. Due to the presence of the protective cover 2, there is an air outlet 7 on the shell 1. The hot air and excess water vapor during the ironing process will be discharged from the air outlet 7 through the exhaust inlet 24 and the air duct 17, thus completing the entire process of automatic ironing, fragrance addition, and drying of clothes, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of ironing and care for clothes.

[0019] Working principle: When the automatic ironing machine is working, the folding support rod 11 is first unfolded to support the top plate 6, creating a space for hanging and ironing clothes. The user takes out the air mold 5 (clothing mold) from the storage cover 8 and hangs it on the clothes hanger 4 with the help of the clothes hanger. The clothes are then put on the air mold 5 (clothing mold), and the lower part of the air mold 5 (clothing mold) is fitted onto the protrusion 20 on the bottom plate 21. The protrusion 20 is adapted to the shape of the air mold 5. The lower end of the air mold 5 is covered with a hollow cylindrical structure 25 and a fixing ring 26. With the help of the traditional rope-like tightening structure and elastic contraction structure, the air mold 5 is firmly fixed and fully unfolded. The water stored in the water tank 12 is accurately delivered to the steam generator 18 through the water channel 19. The steam generator 18 is powered on and turns the water into high-temperature steam. The steam is sprayed out from the steam outlet 15 through the pipe and directly acts on the unfolded clothing mold and the clothes on the surface of the air mold 5. With the penetrating power of the high-temperature steam, the clothing fibers are softened and wrinkles are smoothed, achieving the ironing effect. Meanwhile, the fragrance released by the fragrance module is dispersed through the fragrance outlet 14 with the airflow, giving the clothes a pleasant scent. The fan 16 is started, drawing in outside air through the air inlet 22, guiding it through the fan duct 23, and blowing out hot air at a suitable temperature through the hot air outlet 13. The hot air works in conjunction with the steam inside the equipment, on the one hand assisting the steam to act evenly on the clothes, accelerating moisture evaporation and shaping, and on the other hand driving the fragrance diffusion, allowing the fragrance to adhere more fully. The hot air and excess water vapor during the ironing process will be discharged through the exhaust inlet 24 through the air duct 17 and finally out of the air outlet 7, completing the entire process of automatic ironing, fragrance addition, and drying of clothes, ensuring the ironing and care effect and efficiency of clothes.
