Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing care equipment technology, and in particular to a handheld ironing device. Background Technology

[0002] Handheld ironing devices, as garment care equipment, typically consist of a main body for gripping and an ironing section for emitting steam. To facilitate adjustment of the ironing direction, many products design the ironing section to rotate relative to the main body. However, to ensure stability during ironing, the ironing section needs to be locked at a preset angle to the main body, ensuring that the lock is not released during ironing, at least when no force is applied. To achieve this, additional pin-locking components or latching mechanisms are usually required to lock the ironing section and main body in place. This locking mechanism is then operated to release the lock when the angle of the ironing section needs to be adjusted, resulting in a complex structure and inconvenient operation.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. And the following definitions are provided: Figure 2 The left-to-right direction shown on the paper is the back-to-front direction in this embodiment, and the up-down direction shown in the diagram is the up-down direction in this embodiment. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the direction of airflow. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the direction of steam flow.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, the handheld ironing device provided in this embodiment includes a main body 1 and an ironing part 2 rotatably disposed at the front end of the main body 1; wherein, The ironing part 2 is fixedly fitted with a rotating ring 3 at one end facing the main body 1. The rotating ring 3 extends at least partially into the main body 1, and a snap-fit ​​part 5 that can move back and forth is also installed on the rotating ring 3. The main body 1 has a limiting ring 4 facing the rotating ring 3 inside. The limiting ring 4 has an arc-shaped groove 7, and at least one limiting groove 8 is formed in the arc-shaped groove 7. Furthermore, one end of the snap-fit ​​5 extends into the arc-shaped groove 7, and has a locking state in which it extends into the limiting groove 8 to lock the ironing part 2 and the main body 1, and a rotating state in which it disengages from the limiting groove 8 and can move along the extension direction of the arc-shaped groove 7.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution, the handheld ironing device includes a main body 1, an ironing part 2, a rotating ring 3, a locking member 5, and a limiting ring 4. The limiting ring 4 has an arc-shaped groove 7 and a limiting groove 8. One end of the locking member 5 rotates along the arc-shaped groove 7, and when it is locked into the limiting groove 8, it locks the ironing part 2 and the main body 1 to position the ironing part 2 at a preset angle at the front end of the main body 1. When the ironing part 2 is rotated with force, the locking member 5 can be dislodged from the limiting groove 8 and continue to move. When it is locked into the limiting groove 8 again, it locks the ironing part 2 and the main body 1. This makes the overall rotating structure and locking structure simpler and easier to implement, and can reduce production and manufacturing costs.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 4 to 7 As shown, a connecting ring 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the main body 1 facing the ironing part 2, and the connecting ring 6 rotatably confines the rotating ring 3 inside the main body 1. Furthermore, the connecting ring 6 has at least one arc-shaped protrusion 10 arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the rotating ring 3, and at least one arc-shaped groove 11 is formed on the wall of the arc-shaped protrusion 10 facing the rotating ring 3. The outer edge of the connecting ring 6 protrudes outward to form arc-shaped blocks 12 in the same number and opposite position as the arc-shaped protrusion 10, and in the locked state, the arc-shaped blocks 12 are engaged in the arc-shaped groove 11.

[0022] As a further preferred embodiment, the number of limiting grooves 8 is two arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped groove 7, and the number of arc-shaped slots 11 on each arc-shaped protrusion 10 is two arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped protrusion 10, so that the two structures are in sync. The arc-shaped slots 11 and arc-shaped protrusions 10 are used to limit and lock the rotating ring 3 in the radial direction, and the limiting grooves 8 and the locking parts 5 are used to limit and lock the rotating ring 3 in the axial and radial directions, so that the locking state is more stable.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, a hollow protrusion 9 is formed on the rotating ring 3, extending in the direction facing the limiting ring 4 and used to accommodate the snap-fit ​​member 5. The snap-fit ​​member 5 is movably disposed in the hollow protrusion 9, with one end passing through the hollow protrusion 9 and extending into the arc-shaped groove 7, and the other end abutting against the connecting ring 6.

[0024] In practical applications, in the locked state, one end of the snap-fit ​​5 is inserted into the limiting groove 8, while the other end abuts against the end face of the connecting ring 6 facing the rotating ring 3. Since both the connecting ring 6 and the rotating ring 3 are made of plastic, they are elastic. When the ironing part 2 is rotated, it can drive the rotating ring 3 and the snap-fit ​​5 to rotate. Under the force, the snap-fit ​​5 disengages from the limiting groove 8 and forces the connecting ring 6 to deform, allowing the snap-fit ​​5 to move away from the limiting groove 8.

[0025] In another alternative, the end of the snap-fit ​​5 facing the connecting ring 6 is also fitted with a spring, which causes the snap-fit ​​5 to have a pre-tightening force to snap into the limiting groove 8, and to retract and disengage from the limiting groove 8 under the force.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the ironing part 2 has a steam generator 13 (i.e., a boiler) and an airflow channel 21 isolated from the steam generator 13. The main body 1 and the ironing part 2 together form a channel for allowing airflow to pass through. The main body 1 is also equipped with a fan 20 for guiding airflow from the ironing part 2 to the rear end of the main body 1. The front end of the ironing part 2 also has a steam outlet 17 for spraying steam and an air inlet 16 for sucking in airflow with dirt and water vapor. The rear end of the main body 1 has an air outlet 22 for discharging airflow. The limiting ring 4 is integrally formed on the outer casing of the fan 20.

[0027] As a further preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the airflow channel 21 is arranged around the steam generator 13, and an air intake 16 is formed on the front end face of the ironing part 2, which is arranged in a ring around the steam generator 13. The steam outlet 17 is located in the middle of the front end of the ironing part 2, which can improve the effect of absorbing stains and water vapor attached to clothes or fabrics, and is also more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] As a further preferred embodiment, the front end of the ironing part 2 is also equipped with a panel 14. The panel 14 has a plurality of steam outlet holes 18 facing the steam outlet 17 and a plurality of air intake holes 19 facing the air intake 16, and each air intake hole 19 is configured as an arc-shaped strip structure to have a stronger adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the side of the panel 14 facing the ironing part 2 is also configured with an overall elliptical mounting groove, and the air intake holes 19 are opened in the mounting groove. The mounting groove also has a plurality of connecting posts 28 arranged in an array, and a filter screen 15 is also embedded in the mounting groove. The filter screen 15 completely covers the air intake holes 19 and has a number of connecting holes 29 that are opposite to the connecting posts 28 in position, so as to facilitate assembly and filtering of the intake airflow.

[0029] In addition, combined Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the steam generator 13 has a first labyrinthine flow channel 23 and a second labyrinthine flow channel 24 that are isolated from each other. A third labyrinthine flow channel 25 is formed between the steam generator 13 and the panel 14. The front end face of the steam generator 13 is provided with a first through hole 26 connecting the end of the first labyrinthine flow channel 23 and the beginning of the third labyrinthine flow channel 25, a second through hole 27 connecting the end of the third labyrinthine flow channel 25 and the beginning of the second labyrinthine flow channel 24, and a steam outlet 17 located at the end of the second labyrinthine flow channel 24, so that the length of the steam chamber of the steam generator 13 is greatly increased, effectively improving the vaporization efficiency.

[0030] It is worth noting that the steam generator 13, as a commonly used component in the field, also has an electric heating tube embedded inside, a labyrinthine flow channel surrounded by ribs, and the steam chamber is connected to the water tank or external water tank of the main body 1 through a pipeline. Its working state is controlled by the electrical control unit in the main body 1. This is a technology well known in the field, so the description of each component is omitted here.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
