Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an electric iron stand with a flip-and-limit structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electric irons are a common appliance in modern household garment care. After use, the hot iron should be placed on a dedicated stand to ensure safety, prevent burns to the table or fire, and make it convenient for the next use.

[0003] Some existing iron stands are designed with movable parts to accommodate storage or different usage scenarios, but these movable parts often lack effective limiting structures. When used to support or hold the iron, the lack of reliable stops on the flipping path of the movable parts may cause them to fail to stay stably in the preset working position. They are prone to rebounding or over-flipping due to the weight of the iron or slight external force, thus losing their holding function. In addition, when the iron is placed on a flipping part lacking limiting, it is easy to wobble, affecting safety and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an iron stand with a flip-limiting structure, which provides a more stable and reliable fixation, effectively protects the iron shell, and has a precise and reliable limiting function.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an electric iron stand with a flipping and limiting structure, including a stand body, a flipping member hinged to the stand body, a soft holding member provided on the flipping member, a fixed seat fixedly provided on the stand body, the fixed seat and the stand body together defining the flipping space of the flipping member, a limiting member provided on the fixed seat, the limiting member acting on the flipping path of the flipping member, and making the holding member have a pressing state close to the electric iron.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, under the limiting action of the limiting component, the retaining component, due to the elastic properties of its own material, will continuously release elastic potential energy towards the electric iron, so that it firmly holds the electric iron, resulting in a good fixing effect.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the limiting member is a limiting post formed on the fixed base, and the flipping member has a limiting groove for accommodating the limiting post.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the holding effect of the retaining component on the electric iron is guaranteed.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that an elastic arm is provided on the fixed base, the free end of the elastic arm extends away from the fixed base to form a cantilever structure, and the limiting post is provided on the elastic arm.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the limiting post, the free end of the elastic arm allows the limiting post to undergo elastic bending deformation when it contacts the edge of the limiting groove. This deformation allows the limiting post to slide into the edge of the limiting groove. Even if the initial position is not completely aligned or the edge of the groove has slight burrs or the chamfer is not ideal, it can be automatically guided and aligned. Furthermore, the flexible elastic arm reduces the risk of structural damage.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that when the limiting post is located within the limiting groove, the retaining member is in interference fit with the electric iron.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the holding effect of the retaining component on the electric iron is guaranteed.

[0013] A further configuration of this utility model is as follows: the base body includes an upper housing that contacts the electric iron, the retaining member has an idle state that is away from the electric iron and allows it to detach from the upper housing, and the holding state is configured such that the retaining member presses the electric iron and restricts its detachment from the upper housing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator only needs to control the flipping mechanism to flip up and down to lock and unlock the electric iron.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that a rotating column is provided through the flipping component, and at least one pair of U-shaped grooves are formed at the bottom of the upper housing, with the rotating column positioned between the U-shaped grooves.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper shell provides better support for the flipping component.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the fixing base is provided with a slot corresponding to the position of the U-shaped groove, and one end of the rotating column extends out of the U-shaped groove and abuts against the slot.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed base and the upper shell can simultaneously provide support for the flipping component, resulting in a better support effect.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that when the flipping component is in an idle state, the front end of the flipping component protrudes from the upper housing.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can easily flip the flipping part through the protruding part of the flipping part. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0021] A further feature of this invention is that the outline of the retaining member is adapted to the outline of the electric iron.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the retaining component is in a holding state with the iron, the adapted contour can release the holding force evenly through the entire contact surface, resulting in a better holding effect.

[0023] A further feature of this invention is that the retaining member has an arc-shaped cutout, and the electric iron has an arc-shaped contour corresponding to the arc-shaped cutout. When the retaining member holds the electric iron, the arc-shaped cutout and the arc-shaped contour of the electric iron engage with each other.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped cut and the arc-shaped contour of the electric iron interlock with each other, providing multi-angle holding force, and the retaining part has a better fixing effect on the electric iron.

[0025] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The device uses a soft retaining element, and the limiting element acts on the flipping path of the flipping element, so that the retaining element is in a pressing state close to the iron. The retaining element is squeezed against the iron and deformed. Under the limiting action of the limiting element, the retaining element will continuously release elastic potential energy towards the iron due to the elastic properties of its own material, so that it firmly holds the iron and has a good fixing effect.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] An iron stand with a flip-stop structure, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the device includes a base body 1, a flipping member 2 hinged to the base body 1, a flexible retaining member 21 on the flipping member 2, and a fixed base 3 fixedly mounted on the base body 1. The fixed base 3 and the base body 1 together define the flipping space 4 of the flipping member 2. A limiting member 31 is provided on the fixed base 3. The limiting member 31 acts on the flipping path of the flipping member 2 and keeps the retaining member 21 in a holding state close to the iron. This holding state is specifically explained as follows: in the path of the flipping member 2 flipping towards the iron, at least when the retaining member 21 abuts against the iron, the flipping member 2 is stopped by the limiting member 31 and held in its current position. The timing of the limiting member's action on the flipping member 2 can be when the retaining member 21 contacts the iron, or when the retaining member 21 first contacts the iron and causes it to deform, preferably the latter. In this case, the retaining member 21 and the iron are interference-fitted under the limiting action of the limiting member 31.

[0038] The flip-up part 2 has a U-shaped insert plate 20 formed on it, and the retaining part 21 has a slot 212 that is adapted to the U-shaped insert plate 20. By inserting the U-shaped insert plate 20 into the slot 212, the retaining part 21 is fixed on the flip-up part 2, and the U-shaped insert plate 20 can maintain and support the shape of the retaining part 21. The retaining part 21 can be made of rubber or silicone. The fixing base 3 is located below the base body 1. The flip-up space 4 is formed by the fixing base 3 and the base body 1. The hinge end of the flip-up part 2 is located in the flip-up space 4. When the flip-up part 2 is flipped to a certain angle, the limiting member 31 engages with the flip-up part 2. At this time, the retaining part 21 is squeezed against the electric iron and deformed. Under the limiting action of the limiting member 31, the retaining part 21 will continuously release elastic potential energy towards the electric iron due to the elastic properties of its own material, so that it firmly holds the electric iron and has a good fixing effect.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting member 31 is a limiting post formed on the fixed base 3, and the flipping member 2 is provided with a limiting groove 22 to accommodate the limiting post, and the limiting post protrudes in the direction of the flipping space 4.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed base 3 is provided with an elastic arm 5, the free end of which extends away from the fixed base 3 to form a cantilever structure, and the limiting post is disposed on the elastic arm 5. During the rotation of the limiting post, the free end of the elastic arm 5 allows the limiting post to undergo elastic bending deformation when it contacts the edge of the limiting groove 22. This deformation allows the limiting post to slide into the edge of the limiting groove 22. Even if the initial position is not perfectly aligned or the groove edge has slight burrs or imperfect chamfers, it can still be automatically guided and aligned. Furthermore, the flexible elastic arm 5 reduces the risk of structural damage.

[0041] Preferably, when the limiting post is located within the limiting groove 22, the retaining member 21 is in interference fit with the electric iron. The limiting groove 22 is located below the hinge end of the flipping member 2, and the limiting post is located in front of the flipping member 2. The distance from the flipping member 2 to the limiting post is greater than the distance to the electric iron. Because the distance from the flipping member 2 to the limiting post is greater than the distance from the flipping member 2 to the electric iron, the retaining member 21 first applies pressure to deform the electric iron, thereby accumulating elastic potential energy. Subsequently, when the limiting post is engaged in the limiting groove 22 of the flipping member 2, the retaining member 21 firmly holds the electric iron under the elastic potential force, ensuring the holding effect of the retaining member 21 on the electric iron.

[0042] Preferably, the stand body 1 includes an upper housing 11 that contacts the electric iron. The retaining member 21 has an idle state when it is detached from the electric iron. When the retaining member 21 is in the idle state, the electric iron is unlocked from the upper housing 11. When the retaining member 21 is in the holding state, the electric iron is locked to the upper housing 11. The operator only needs to control the flipping member 2 to flip it up and down to complete the locking and unlocking of the electric iron.

[0043] Preferably, a rotating post 23 is provided through the flipping component 2, and at least one pair of U-shaped grooves 111 are formed at the bottom of the upper housing 11. The rotating post 23 is mounted between the U-shaped grooves 111. The rotating post 23 constitutes the hinge shaft of the flipping component 2. The opening diameter of the U-shaped groove 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating post 23. Since the opening diameter of the U-shaped groove 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating post 23, the rotating post 23 is snapped and fixed in the U-shaped groove 111, thereby improving the support of the upper housing 11 for the flipping component 2.

[0044] Preferably, the fixing base 3 is provided with a slot 24 corresponding to the position of the U-shaped groove 111, and one end of the rotating column 23 extends out of the U-shaped groove 111 and abuts against the slot 24. The rotating column 23 is mounted on the U-shaped groove 111 and the slot 24, so that the fixing base 3 and the upper housing 11 simultaneously provide support for the flipping part 2, resulting in better support.

[0045] Preferably, when the flipping component 2 is in an idle state, its front end protrudes from the upper housing 11. This allows the operator to easily flip the flipping component 2 using its protruding portion, resulting in a simple structure and easy operation.

[0046] Preferably, the flipping component 2 includes two legs 25 extending below the base body 1. The fixing seat 3 and the limiting member 31 are configured in two sets, respectively disposed on the two legs 25. The two legs 25 of the flipping component 2 are respectively hinged to the two sides below the base body 1, and are limited by their respective fixing seats 3 and limiting members 31, avoiding the need for a rotating shaft passing through the two legs 25 due to coaxial drive, thus saving space.

[0047] Preferably, the contour of the retaining member 21 is adapted to the contour of the electric iron. When the retaining member 21 and the electric iron are in a holding state, the adapted contour can evenly release the holding force through the entire contact surface, resulting in a better holding effect.

[0048] Preferably, the retaining member 21 has an arc-shaped cutout 211, and the electric iron has an arc-shaped contour corresponding to the arc-shaped cutout 211. When the retaining member 21 holds the electric iron, the arc-shaped cutout 211 and the arc-shaped contour of the electric iron engage with each other. The engagement of the arc-shaped cutout 211 and the arc-shaped contour of the electric iron provides multi-angle holding force, and the retaining member 21 has a better fixing effect on the electric iron.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] An electric iron stand with a flip-limiting structure is described in this embodiment, which differs from the first embodiment in that the limiting groove 22 is filled with an anti-slip material (not shown in the figure). The anti-slip material can be rubber. The anti-slip material generates friction with the limiting post, so that when the retaining member 21 continuously releases elastic potential energy towards the electric iron to firmly hold it in place, the limiting post will not come off the limiting groove 22 due to the elastic potential energy of the retaining member 21, thus ensuring the holding effect of the retaining member 21 on the electric iron.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
