Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric iron technology, specifically an electric iron with a suction device. Background Technology

[0002] Ironing clothes traditionally requires a special ironing board, or you have to hang the clothes on a hanger, hold the garment with one hand, and iron back and forth with the other to smooth them out. This is cumbersome and inconvenient. If you're not a professional ironer, you might even get burned by the high-temperature steam. To address this, irons with suction functions have gradually appeared on the market. These draw air from the iron's surface towards the iron, causing the fabric to adhere to the surface. When moving the iron, you can hang the clothes on a hanger and move the iron relative to the garment. This allows you to iron clothes with just one hand. However, in actual production, to save costs, the fan is usually fixed to a frame, and the inside of the main unit's casing serves as the air duct. There's no dedicated air duct. During use, the fan draws heat from the heating element and transfers it to the casing. Furthermore, various structures on the casing obstruct the airflow, increasing noise and making the user experience unpleasant. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an electric iron with a suction device includes an ironing part 1, a main body 2, a handheld part 4, and a water tank 5. The ironing part 1 is located in front of the main body 2, the handheld part 4 is located below the main body 2, and the water tank 5 is located below the handheld part 4. The main body 2 includes a shell and a suction device disposed within the shell. The suction device includes an independently disposed through-type air duct body 61.

[0018] In this embodiment, a water pump 43 is installed inside the handheld part 4. The ironing part 1 includes an ironing seat 12, a heating element 14 disposed inside the ironing seat 12, and an ironing panel 11 at the front end of the ironing part 1. The ironing panel 11 is provided with steam vents 112 and air inlets 111. The water pump 43 and the heating element 14 are connected by a flexible tube. The flexible tube is disposed inside the housing of the handheld part 4 and the main body 2. The lower end of the flexible tube is connected to the water pump 43, and the upper end is inside the handheld part 4 and the housing of the main body 2. The gap between the air duct bodies 61 extends upwards and connects to the heating element 14. The ironing panel 11 is located in front of the heating element 14. The steam heated on the heating element 14 is released through the steam outlet 112 on the ironing panel 11. The suction device is located behind the ironing part 1. A fan 63 is installed inside the suction device. The air outlet is located behind the suction device. When the fan 63 rotates, the air on the ironing panel 11 is drawn into the fan 63 through the air inlet 111 and discharged from the air outlet at the rear. The heating element 14, which generates steam, is located inside the heat insulation cover 16. The heat insulation cover 16 separates the heating element 14 from the suction duct 13, achieving heat and cold separation and improving the user experience. Moreover, it has an independent, continuous air duct body 61, which allows for smooth and unobstructed airflow during use, greatly reducing wind noise.

[0019] In this embodiment, the main body 2 includes a shell, which can be divided into an upper outer shell 65 and a lower outer shell 66 to facilitate the installation of the suction device. The front end of the air duct body 61 and the front end of the shell are both connected to the ironing seat 12. An annular gap is left between the middle part of the air duct body 61 and the shell. The fan 63 is located inside the air duct body 61 and is positioned and connected by the fan fixing plate 64.

[0020] In this embodiment, the air outlet device includes an air outlet seat 3. The rear end of the air duct body 61 is connected to the inner side of the housing. The air outlet seat 3 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the housing, and a plurality of air outlet holes 31 are provided on the air outlet seat 3. In this structure, the end of the air duct body 61 is sealed to the housing, and the air in the air duct body 61 is directly discharged from the air outlet holes 31 on the air outlet seat 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, the suction device also includes a detachable filter screen 62, which is located inside the air duct body 61 at the front of the suction end of the fan 63. The filter screen 62 is designed to block clothing fibers mixed in during the suction process, preventing these fibers from entering the fan 63 and causing damage to the fan 63 over time. The detachable structure facilitates cleaning of the filter screen 62, and the detachable structure can be a slot type or other easily removable design.

[0022] In this embodiment, the handheld part 4 is connected to the main body 2, and a water pump fixing position and a circuit board mounting position are provided inside the handheld part 4. The water pump 43 is fixedly installed on the water pump fixing position, and a circuit board 42 is installed on the circuit board mounting position. A button 41 is provided on the surface of the handheld part 4, and the button 41 is correspondingly arranged with the button position on the circuit board 42. The button 41 is provided on the handheld part 4 for easy operation.

[0023] In this embodiment, a heat insulation cover 16 is provided inside the ironing seat 12, and the heating element 14 is disposed inside the heat insulation cover 16. The heat insulation cover 16 and the ironing seat 12 have reserved holes for water supply pipes and electrical wires to pass through. These reserved holes facilitate the connection of one end of the electrical wire to the heating element 14 and the other end to the circuit board 42, and also facilitate the connection of one end of the flexible tube to the heating element 14 and the other end to the water pump 43. The gap between the heat insulation cover 16 and the ironing seat 12 serves as a suction channel 13.

[0024] In this embodiment, the steam outlet 112 on the ironing panel 11 is located in front of the heating element 14, and the air inlet 111 is evenly arranged in front of the air intake channel 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, a sealing silicone 15 is provided at the connection between the ironing panel 11 and the ironing seat 12, and the ironing panel 11 and the heat insulation cover 16 are also sealed together by the sealing silicone 15. The sealing silicone 15 can prevent the steam generated by the heating element 14 from leaking into the air suction channel 13, and also avoid air leakage between the ironing seat 12 and the ironing panel 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, the handheld part 4 is provided with a power cord inlet 44, through which the power cord is introduced to the handheld part 4. A display window 32 is provided at the rear end of the air outlet device, and a display control panel 33 is provided inside the display window 32. A light shield 34 is provided between the display control panel 33 and the display window 32. The power cord, water pump 43, heating element 14, fan 63, and display control panel 33 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 42. The power cord is used to supply power to the circuit board 42, and the circuit board 42 controls the operation of the water pump 43, heating element 14, fan 63, and display control panel 33.

[0027] Working principle: In actual use, water pump 43 draws water from water tank 5 and delivers it to heating element 14 through a flexible pipe. Heating element 14 heats up, generating steam. This steam exits directly through steam outlet 112 located in front of heating element 14, ironing clothes with minimal steam loss. During ironing, the ironing panel 11 is in contact with the clothes, and fan 63 operates. Figure 3As shown, air is drawn into the air duct body 61 through the suction channel 13 between the heat insulation cover 16 and the ironing seat 12, and discharged from the air outlet 31 on the rear air outlet seat 3 under the action of the fan 63. At this time, the clothes will be adhered to the ironing panel 11 by the air flow, so you only need to hang the clothes on the hanger and move the iron with one hand to iron the clothes, which solves the original problem of having to hold the clothes with one hand and iron with the other hand, making the operation much simpler. During the exhaust process, the cold air flows directly through the air duct body 61, avoiding the wind noise problem caused by the obstruction of various parts in the cold air exhaust path. Moreover, during the exhaust process, the heat insulation seat and the sealing silicone 15 isolate the hot steam and the cold air, and the two do not mix.
