Steam ironing apparatus with enhanced adsorption capacity

Abstract

This utility model discloses a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity, comprising a main body with an air duct inside, a suction device installed inside the air duct, an ironing plate and a suction plate on the same side of the main body, the ironing plate having several steam holes, and the suction plate having a first recess. The top opening of the first recess fits with the fabric surface to form a nearly closed space, and the bottom of the first recess has several air inlets communicating with the air inlet of the air duct. By setting the first recess on the suction plate, when the suction device is activated, the fabric is adsorbed onto the suction plate along the direction close to the ironing plate, ensuring the ironing effect. Since the air inlets are located in the bottom of the first recess, the fabric is adsorbed onto the top opening of the first recess in a nearly closed state, and the fabric does not stick tightly to the air inlets, creating a strong negative pressure in the first recess, enhancing the adsorption capacity of the fabric.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam ironing technology, specifically to a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ironing equipment is a device used to iron hanging fabrics. Since fabrics generally lack back support, they tend to drift away from the ironing head when steam is emitted, affecting the ironing effect. Therefore, a type of steam ironing equipment with a suction function has emerged. This device places the suction panel outside the steam panel, drawing the fabric closer to the steam panel during suction to improve ironing efficiency and ease of use. However, in practice, it has been found that because the suction panel and steam panel are on the same plane, outside air continuously enters from the outer edge of the suction panel, reducing the airflow from the front of the suction nozzle and significantly decreasing the suction effect on the fabric.

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity that can solve at least one of the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above analysis, this utility model proposes a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity, which aims to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] This utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions: This utility model provides a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity, comprising a main body, an air duct inside the main body, a suction device installed inside the air duct, an ironing plate and a suction plate on the same side of the main body, a plurality of steam holes on the ironing plate, a first recess on the suction plate, the top opening of the first recess forming a nearly closed space with the fabric surface, and a plurality of suction ports communicating with the air inlet end of the air duct at the bottom of the first recess.

[0006] Furthermore, the suction plate is provided with a raised edge located outside the suction port, and the surface where the suction port is located at least cooperates with the inner sidewall of the raised edge to form a first recess.

[0007] Furthermore, a steam generator is installed inside the main body, the steam outlet of the steam generator is connected to a steam hole, and the air duct is located between the inner wall of the main body and the steam generator.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is equipped with an inner shell and an outer shell located outside the inner shell. The steam generator is located inside the inner shell. There is a gap between the inner shell and the outer shell to form the air duct located between them.

[0009] Furthermore, there is a gap between the outer shell and the inner wall of the main body to form a first heat insulation cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, there is a gap between the outer wall of the steam generator and the inner shell to form a second heat insulation cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the ironing board is installed on at least one of the steam outlet of the steam generator, the outer shell, and the inner shell, and the suction plate is installed on at least one of the ironing board, the outer shell, the inner shell, and the main body.

[0012] Furthermore, a first opening is provided at the middle of one end of the outer shell, and a first protruding ring is provided at the first opening. A second protruding ring is provided on the outer edge of the outer shell, surrounding the first protruding ring. The area between the outer side wall of the first protruding ring and the inner side wall of the second protruding ring on the outer shell forms the air inlet end of the air duct. An air inlet located between the first and second protruding rings is provided on the air inlet end of the air duct, and the air inlet is connected to the air intake.

[0013] Furthermore, the air inlet is arranged around the outside of the steam hole; the convex edge is annular, and the surface where the air inlet is located, the inner side wall of the convex edge, and the outer side wall of the ironing board cooperate to form a first recess; or, two convex edges are spaced apart on the air inlet plate, the air inlet is located between the two convex edges, and the side walls of the two convex edges and the surface where the air inlet is located cooperate to form a first recess. Alternatively, the air intake is located on one side of the steam hole; the convex edge is annular, and the surface where the air intake is located cooperates with the inner wall of the convex edge to form a first recess; or, the two ends of the convex edge extend to cooperate with the outer wall of the ironing board, and the surface where the air intake is located, the inner wall of the convex edge, and the outer wall of the ironing board cooperate to form a first recess.

[0014] Furthermore, the steam pores and the adsorption surface of the fabric protrude from the surface where the top opening of the first recess is located.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. A first recess is provided on the suction plate so that when the suction device is activated, it will generate suction on the surface of the suction plate, causing the fabric to be adsorbed onto the suction plate along the direction close to the ironing plate, which can ensure the ironing effect. Since the suction port is located in the bottom of the first recess, the fabric is adsorbed at the top opening of the first recess in a nearly closed state, and the fabric will not stick tightly to the suction port. A strong negative pressure will be formed in the first recess, which will enhance the adsorption capacity of the fabric.

[0016] 2. Because the air intake is arranged around the steam hole, and the height difference between the surface where the steam hole is located, the surface where the air intake is located, and the surface where the top opening of the first recess is located, the fabric is completely attached to the ironing board when the clothes are adsorbed onto the air intake plate. This reduces the possibility of external air entering the air intake from the side, ensures the air intake volume on the front of the air intake plate, greatly improves the adsorption performance of the air intake plate, and enhances the convenience and efficiency of ironing.

[0017] 3. The suction device is enclosed separately in the air duct, so that the steam and cold air drawn in from the suction plate only come into contact with the suction device. Furthermore, by setting up a heat insulation cavity, the outer shell and inner shell physically isolate the air duct, the main body and the steam generator. This can reduce the adverse effects of the low temperature environment and the high temperature environment of the steam generator on the suction device in the air duct. At the same time, it can prevent the air duct from absorbing too much heat from the steam generator, which would affect its temperature control accuracy and vaporization effect, thus comprehensively protecting the electronic components in the main body.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model and to more clearly define the scope of protection claimed by this utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present utility model, and the specific and direct descriptions of related structures are merely for the convenience of understanding the present utility model; the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Conventional choices and substitutions made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present utility model should all be considered within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a steam ironing device with enhanced adsorption capacity, including a main body 1, an air duct 2 inside the main body 1, a suction device 3 installed inside the air duct 2, an ironing plate 4 and a suction plate 5 located on the same side of the main body 1, the ironing plate 4 having a plurality of steam holes 4a, and the suction plate 5 having a first recess 51, the top opening of the first recess 51 fitting with the surface of the fabric 11 to form a nearly closed space 52, the bottom of the first recess 51 having a plurality of suction ports 51a communicating with the air inlet end of the air duct 2, the ironing plate 4 and the suction plate 5 being separately arranged, the first recess 51 surrounding the ironing plate 4. In another embodiment, the ironing plate 4 and the suction plate 5 are integrally formed.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction plate 5 is provided with a protruding edge 53 located outside the suction port 51a. The surface of the suction port 51a at least cooperates with the inner sidewall of the protruding edge 53 to form a first recess 51. The protruding edge 53 is arranged in a ring on the outer edge of the suction plate 5. The suction port 51a is arranged around the outer side of the steam hole 4a. The surface of the steam hole 4a protrudes from the surface of the suction port 51a. The surface of the suction port 51a, the inner sidewall of the protruding edge 53, and the circumferential outer sidewall of the ironing plate 4 cooperate to form the first recess 51.

[0025] In other embodiments, two protruding edges 53 are spaced apart on the suction plate 5, and the suction port 51a is located between the two protruding edges 53. The sidewalls of the two protruding edges 53 and the surface where the suction port 51a is located cooperate to form a first recess 51. The surface where the steam hole 4a is located is parallel to the surface where the suction port 51a is located. The surface where the steam hole 4a is located and the surface where the suction port 51a is located are not limited to being flat, but can also be curved or concave.

[0026] The steam hole 4a and the adsorption surface of the fabric 11 protrude from the surface where the top opening of the first recess 51 is located, that is, the top surface of the convex edge 53. In this embodiment, the length of the surface where the air intake 51a is located from the surface where the top opening of the convex edge 53 is located is D1, and the length of the surface where the steam hole 4a is located from the surface where the air intake 51a is located is D2, where D2≥D1.

[0027] When the suction device 3 is started, since the suction port 51a is arranged in a ring outside the steam hole 4a, the suction force generated by the suction port 51a makes the fabric 11 firmly adsorbed at the top opening of the ring-shaped first recess 51. The space between the first recess 51 and the adsorption surface of the fabric 11 is close to a sealed state. At the same time, the fabric 11 is in close contact with the ironing board 4, which can greatly improve the ironing effect.

[0028] In some embodiments, the suction plate 5 is disposed on the outer or inner side of the ironing plate 4, the suction port 51a is located on one side of the steam hole 4a, the convex edge 53 is annular, and the surface where the suction port 51a is located cooperates with the inner wall of the convex edge 53 to form a first recess 51.

[0029] In another embodiment, the two ends of the protruding edge 53 are not connected. The two ends of the protruding edge 53 extend to cooperate with the outer wall of the ironing plate 4. The surface where the air intake 51a is located, the inner wall of the protruding edge 53 and the outer wall of the ironing plate 4 cooperate to form a first recess 51.

[0030] In other embodiments, the air intake 51a may also be disposed opposite to the steam hole 4a.

[0031] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a steam generator 6 is installed inside the main body 1. The steam outlet 6a of the steam generator 6 is connected to the steam hole 4a. The air duct 2 is located between the inner wall of the main body 1 and the steam generator 6. The air outlet 2 of the air duct 2 is provided with a vent 2b. The main body 1 is provided with an air outlet 1a connected to the vent 2b.

[0032] The main body 1 also includes an inner shell 7 and an outer shell 8 located outside the inner shell 7. A steam generator 6 is located inside the inner shell 7. A gap exists between the inner shell 7 and the outer shell 8 to form an air duct 2 between them. The inner shell 7 can be located on one side of the steam generator 6 or fitted onto the steam generator 6. The outer shell 8 can be located on one side of the inner shell 7 or fitted onto the inner shell 7.

[0033] The inner shell 7 and the outer shell 8 are both separate parts, which facilitates installation and disassembly. Their detachable connection can be any one of the following, or any combination thereof: snap-fit, screw connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection.

[0034] The inner shell 7 is a detachable, split structure that can be selected during installation. The inner shell 7 can be placed on the upper or lower side of the steam generator 6, or fitted onto the steam generator 6, or not installed at all, depending on the user's actual needs.

[0035] The outer shell 8 and the inner wall of the main body 1 are sealed together, and there is a gap between them to form a first heat insulation cavity 9. There is a gap between the outer wall of the steam generator 6 and the inner shell 7 to form a second heat insulation cavity 10. The first heat insulation cavity 9 and the second heat insulation cavity 10 can be connected or separated from each other.

[0036] Because of the separate air duct 2, some of the steam and cold air drawn into the air duct 2 will not come into contact with electronic components other than the suction device 3. Furthermore, the setting of the first heat insulation chamber 9 and the second heat insulation chamber 10 can delay heat transfer. This can prevent the hot air in the air duct 2 from directly contacting the cooler inner wall of the main body 1, thus avoiding condensation that would affect the performance of the suction device 3. It can also prevent some of the cold air drawn into the air duct 2 from directly contacting the steam generator 6 and absorbing a large amount of its heat, which would affect the control accuracy and vaporization effect of the steam generator 6. In addition, it can prevent the suction device 3 from being damaged by excessively high temperature after the airflow inside the air duct 2 absorbs heat rapidly, thus protecting the suction device 3 and the electrical components inside the main body 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, a first opening 8a is provided at the middle of one end of the outer shell 8, and a first protruding ring 81 is provided at the first opening 8a. A second protruding ring 82 is provided on the outer edge of the outer shell 8, surrounding the first protruding ring 81. The area between the outer side wall of the first protruding ring 81 and the inner side wall of the second protruding ring 82 on the outer shell 8 forms the air inlet end of the air duct 2. An air inlet 2a is provided on the air inlet end of the air duct 2, located between the first protruding ring 81 and the second protruding ring 82. The air inlet 2a is connected to the air intake 51a.

[0038] The air inlet of the air duct 2 and the inner side of the suction plate 5 cooperate to form a first space 12. The air inlet 2a and the suction port 51a are arranged at intervals on the first space 12. The front end of the outer shell 8 is provided with a first opening 8a and an air inlet 2a, and the rear top of the outer shell 8 is provided with a vent 2b. The suction device 3 is arranged near the vent 2b.

[0039] The inner shell 7 has a second opening 7a in the middle. The second opening 7a of the inner shell 7 fits and abuts against the inner wall of the first opening 8a of the outer shell 8. The inner wall of the outer shell 8 and the outer wall of the inner shell 7 cooperate to form a nearly sealed air duct 2. The outer surface of the outer shell 8 and the inner wall of the main body 1 form a first heat insulation cavity 9 located outside the air duct 2. The outer surface of the steam generator 6, the inner wall of the inner shell 7, the inner wall of the ironing board 4, and the inner side wall of the first convex ring 81 cooperate to form a second heat insulation cavity 10 located inside the air duct 2.

[0040] The ironing board 4 is installed on at least one of the steam outlet 6a of the steam generator 6, the outer shell 8, and the inner shell 7.

[0041] In this embodiment, the ironing plate 4 is installed on the outer shell 8 and connected to the steam outlet 6a of the steam generator 6. The ironing plate 4 is detachably installed on the first protruding ring 81. The detachable form can be any one of snap-fit, screw connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection and any combination thereof.

[0042] In another embodiment, the ironing board 4 can also be connected to the inner shell 7, in which case the first protruding ring 81 serves as an extension of the inner shell 7, and the outer shell 8 is fitted onto the inner shell 7.

[0043] The suction plate 5 is installed on at least one of the ironing board 4, the outer shell 8, the inner shell 7, and the main body 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the suction plate 5 is sleeved on the ironing plate 4 and the outer shell 8, and abuts against the end of the main body 1. The suction plate 5 is detachably connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 8 to improve the reliability of the structural connection. The detachable connection can be any one of snap-fit, screw connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection, or any combination thereof. The suction plate 5 is sleeved on the first convex ring 81 and the second convex ring 82.

[0045] The main body 1 should also include structures such as a water pump and a water tank. The connection between the main body 1 and the steam generator 6 adopts a conventional connection, so it is not shown in the figure and will not be described in detail.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
