Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam ironing technology, specifically to a steam ironing device that protects electrical components. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous innovation of steam ironing technology, a new type of steam ironing equipment has emerged on the market. This equipment includes a suction device and a steam generator. The work panel of the steam ironing device has suction vents and steam holes. When the steam generator is working, the internal temperature of the equipment is relatively high, while the outer surface of the equipment shell is relatively low. When steam ironing, activating the suction device draws the clothing around the work panel, eliminating the need to pull the clothing and allowing for more efficient ironing without burning the hands. However, some steam and cold air can enter the equipment through the suction vents. When the hot steam encounters the cool outer shell, condensation forms. Over time, this can affect the performance of the suction device and other internal electrical components. Furthermore, prolonged exposure of the suction device to a high-temperature environment may damage it, reducing the safety of the equipment.

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a steam ironing device that can protect electrical components and solve at least one of the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above analysis, the present invention proposes a steam ironing device for protecting electrical components, which aims to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] This utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] This utility model provides a steam ironing device for protecting electrical components, comprising a main body, wherein the main body is provided with an air duct and a steam chamber, and a heat insulation layer is provided between the air duct and at least one of the main body and the steam chamber. The main body is provided with a first working surface and a second working surface located on at least one side of the first working surface. The first working surface is provided with a steam hole communicating with the steam outlet of the steam chamber, and the second working surface is provided with an air inlet communicating with the air inlet of the air duct. The air outlet of the air duct is provided with a ventilation port, and an air suction device is installed in the air duct.

[0007] Furthermore, the steam chamber is equipped with a heating component, and the main body is also equipped with a temperature acquisition unit and a control device. The temperature acquisition unit is installed on at least one of the steam chamber and the air duct, and the control device is electrically connected to the suction device, the heating component, and the temperature acquisition unit respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a first cover placed on the outside of the steam room. The inner wall of the first cover has at least a gap with the outer wall of the steam room to form the heat insulation layer in the form of a cavity. The outer wall of the first cover and the inner wall of the main body cooperate to form the air duct.

[0009] Alternatively, the main body may have a second cover located outside the steam room, with the outer wall of the second cover and the inner wall of the main body having a gap to form the heat insulation layer in the form of a cavity, and the inner wall of the second cover and the outer wall of the steam room forming the air duct;

[0010] Alternatively, the main body may have a first cover placed outside the steam room and a second cover placed outside the first cover. The inner wall of the first cover and the outer wall of the second cover shall have gaps with the outer wall of the steam room and the inner wall of the main body, respectively, so as to form the heat insulation layer in the form of a cavity. The outer wall of the first cover and the inner wall of the second cover shall cooperate to form the air duct.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body is equipped with an ironing board and a suction plate located on at least one side of the ironing board, the first working surface is disposed on the ironing board, and the second working surface is disposed on the suction plate.

[0012] Furthermore, at least one of a water-absorbing component and a filter component is provided between the inner wall of the second working surface and the air inlet end of the air duct.

[0013] Furthermore, the ironing board is connected to the steam outlet of the steam chamber and installed on at least one of the first cover and the second cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the suction plate is installed on at least one of the first cover, the second cover, the main body, and the ironing board.

[0015] Furthermore, the air intake is arranged around the outside of the steam hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the second cover is provided with an air inlet to cooperate with the air inlet end of the air duct, and the air inlet is connected to the air intake and the air duct respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the suction device is located behind the steam chamber, and the central axis of the suction device is set at an angle to the central axis of the steam chamber.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the steam ironing device for protecting electrical components provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. When the suction device is working, it forms suction at the air inlet, which adsorbs the clothes when ironing, making the clothes stick tightly to the second working surface for easy ironing; the separate air duct ensures that some of the steam and cold air drawn into the air duct will not come into contact with electrical components other than the suction device; and the heat insulation layer isolates the air duct from the cold air outside or the hot air in the steam chamber, reducing the impact of water condensation or overheating in the air duct due to temperature differences, thus protecting the performance of the suction device and other electrical components in the main body.

[0020] 2. By setting up a first cover and a second cover, heat insulation layers in the form of cavities are formed between the air duct, the main body, and the steam chamber, respectively, physically isolating the three. This can prevent the hot air in the air duct from directly contacting the cooler inner wall of the main body, thus avoiding condensation that would affect the performance of the suction device. It can also prevent some of the cold air drawn in from the air duct from directly contacting the steam chamber and absorbing a large amount of heat, which would affect the control accuracy and vaporization effect of the steam chamber. Furthermore, it can prevent the suction device from being damaged by excessively high temperatures caused by the rapid heat absorption of the airflow inside the air duct.

[0021] 3. The insulation layer can slow down heat transfer. The temperature of the steam chamber is monitored in real time by the temperature acquisition unit, and the control device controls the temperature of the steam chamber to reach the set value. This prevents excessive heat from radiating from the steam chamber to the air duct through the insulation layer, keeping the temperature in the air duct at a more suitable level and improving the reliability and safety of the steam ironing equipment.

[0022] 4. By setting up water suction components, residual moisture in the air and hot steam drawn in from the air intake can be effectively absorbed, minimizing the entry of water into the air duct. This significantly improves the safety performance of the equipment, absorbs sound waves, reduces noise during equipment operation, and can be reused. By setting up filter components, impurities mixed in with the air and hot steam drawn in from the air intake are prevented from entering the air duct and damaging the air suction device.

In another embodiment, the two cavity-shaped heat insulation layers 4 may also be interconnected.

[0035] An ironing board 13 and a suction plate 14 located on at least one side of the ironing board 13 are installed on the main body 1. The first working surface 5 is disposed on the ironing board 13 and the second working surface 6 is disposed on the suction plate 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, the ironing board 13 is connected to the steam outlet 3a of the steam chamber 3 and installed on the second cover 12.

The inner wall of the first cover 11, a portion of the inner wall of the second cover 12, the outer wall of the steam chamber 3, and the ironing board 13 cooperate to form another cavity-shaped heat insulation layer 4. In another embodiment, the ironing board 13 is connected to the steam outlet 3a of the steam chamber 3 and installed on the first cover 11. A gap is left between the inner wall of the first cover 11, the outer wall of the steam chamber 3, and the inner side of the ironing board 13 to form another cavity-shaped heat insulation layer 4. In other embodiments, the ironing board 13 can also be connected to the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 respectively.

[0037] The suction plate 14 is mounted on at least one of the first cover 11, the second cover 12, the main body 1, and the ironing plate 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the opening at one end of the first cover 11 abuts against the inner wall of the opening at one end of the second cover 12. The inner wall of the first cover 11, the inner wall of the opening of the second cover 12, and the ironing board 13 cooperate to form a nearly sealed space for accommodating the steam chamber 3. A water inlet connector 21 passing through the first cover 11 is installed on the steam chamber 3. The steam outlet 3a of the steam chamber 3 cooperates with the inner wall of the middle part of the ironing board 13 and communicates with the steam hole 5a. A gap is left between the outer surface of the steam chamber 3 and the inner wall of the outer edge of the ironing board 13, the inner wall of the first cover 11, and the inner wall of the opening of the second cover 12 to form a heat insulation layer 4 placed inside the air duct 2. The remaining inner wall of the second cover 12 and the outer wall of the first cover 11 cooperate to form a nearly sealed air duct 2. A gap is left between the outer surface of the second cover 12 and the inner wall of the main body 1 to form a heat insulation layer 4 placed outside the air duct 2. The heat insulation layer 4 is in the form of a cavity.

[0039] The second cover 12 has a first protruding ring 121 protruding outward from its central opening and located inside the air inlet 12a.

The detachable connection can be any one or any combination of snap-fit ​​connection, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, magnetic connection, and threaded connection. The first cover 11 covers the outside of the steam chamber 3, and the second cover 12 covers the outside of the first cover 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, a heat insulation layer 4 is provided between the inner wall of the air duct 2 and the outer wall of the steam chamber 3. A first cover 11 is provided inside the main body 1, positioned outside the steam chamber 3. The inner wall of the first cover 11, together with the outer wall of the steam chamber 3 and the inner side of the ironing board 13, forms a cavity-shaped heat insulation layer 4. The outer wall of the first cover 11, together with the inner wall of the main body 1, forms the air duct 2. It is understood that the inner wall of the first cover 11 also has a gap with the outer wall of the steam chamber 3 to form a cavity-shaped heat insulation layer 4.

[0041] In another embodiment, a heat insulation layer 4 is provided between the outer wall of the air duct 2 and the inner wall of the main body 1. The main body 1 is provided with a second cover 12 placed outside the steam chamber 3.

The second working surface 6 is provided with a suction port 6a communicating with the air inlet of the air duct 2. The air outlet of the air duct 2 is provided with a ventilation port 2a. A suction device 7 is installed in the air duct 2. Since the shell of the main body 1 is exposed, the temperature is relatively low during operation. If the steam sucked in by the suction device 7 directly contacts the main body 1, the steam will easily form condensate and completely enclose the suction device 7 in the air duct 2. The air in the air duct 2 and the steam sucked in will not leak to other parts of the main body 1.

[0043] The suction device 7 is located behind the steam chamber 3 and near the vent 2a. It is positioned at the tail end of the second cover 12. The central axis of the suction device 7 is set at an angle to the central axis of the steam chamber 3, which can avoid occupying too much volume.

A filter component 16 located outside the water-absorbing component 15 is also provided between the second cover 12 and the suction plate 14. The filter component 16 is a filter screen sleeved on the second convex ring 141.

[0051] like Figure 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, the steam chamber 3 is equipped with a heating component 8, and the main body 1 is also equipped with a temperature acquisition unit 9 and a control device 10. The temperature acquisition unit 9 is installed on the steam chamber 3, and the control device 10 is electrically connected to the suction device 7, the heating component 8, and the temperature acquisition unit 9.
