Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment care, specifically to an ironing device. Background Technology

[0002] Handheld garment steamers, a common type of portable ironing device, typically consist of a water tank, an electric heating unit, a steam nozzle, and a handle. They also integrate a flat ironing board for smoothing clothing surfaces under steam. To enhance versatility and convenience, improved handheld garment steamers have emerged, incorporating a clamping device. This clamp is rotatably connected to the steamer body via a hinge or pivot mechanism, allowing it to rotate relative to the ironing board. This enables users to flexibly adjust the clamp angle, making it particularly suitable for ironing small or delicate areas such as ties and cuffs. This design enhances operational adaptability and improves ironing efficiency. However, this rotating connection design has a significant drawback: when using the clamp to hold clothing like ties, if the tie is too close to the pivot point of the clamp, it can easily get caught in the gaps or mechanical parts of the pivot mechanism. This can cause unnecessary indentations on the tie, affecting not only the appearance and smoothness of the garment but also potentially damaging the fabric due to excessive pressure, reducing ironing effectiveness and user experience.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] See Figures 1-6 An ironing device, the ironing device comprising an ironing body 1 and a clamping plate 2.

[0025] The ironing body 1 includes a shell 11, an ironing board 12, a water tank 13, a steam generating mechanism 14, a water pump 15, and a control mechanism 16. In this embodiment, the water pump 15 is a diaphragm pump, which effectively reduces noise and vibration during normal operation of the ironing device. The shell 11 includes a handle 111 and a head 112. The head 112 is disposed at one end of the handle 111, and the water tank 13 is detachably disposed at the other end of the handle 111. The diaphragm pump 15 is disposed inside the handle 111, the ironing board 12 is disposed at the opening of the head 112, and the steam generating mechanism 14 is disposed inside the head 112. The diaphragm pump 15 is connected to the water tank 13 and the steam generating mechanism 14 respectively to deliver water from the water tank 13 to the steam generating mechanism 14. The steam generating mechanism 14 is connected to the ironing board 12 so that the generated steam can be ejected from the steam outlet 121 of the ironing board 12. In this embodiment, the steam generating mechanism 14 includes a heating plate 141 forming a steam chamber 142. A diaphragm pump 15 is connected to the steam chamber 142, and an ironing plate 12 is connected to the heating plate 141. The heating plate 141 can heat both the steam chamber 142 and the ironing plate 12. A control mechanism 16 is disposed on the outer casing 11 and is used to control the diaphragm pump 15 and the steam generating mechanism 14.

[0026] The clamp 2 is rotatably connected to the ironing body 1, and the clamp 2 is used to clamp the clothing between the ironing board 12 and the clamp 2; the ironing device also includes a blocking wall 21; the blocking wall 21 is disposed near the rotatable connection 3 between the clamp 2 and the ironing body 1, so as to at least isolate the clothing from the rotatable connection 3; the blocking wall 21 can reduce the risk of the clothing being caught in the rotatable connection 3.

[0027] The blocking wall 21 is disposed on one of the ironing board 12 and the clamping plate 2; the other of the ironing board 12 and the clamping plate 2 is provided with a receiving groove 113, and when the clamping plate 2 abuts against the ironing board 12, the blocking wall 21 is accommodated in the receiving groove 113. In this embodiment, the blocking wall 21 is disposed on the clamping plate 2, and the ironing board 12 is provided with the receiving groove 113. In this embodiment, the blocking wall 21 is arc-shaped and extends laterally on the clamping plate 2, at least around the rotating connection 3. The arc-shaped blocking wall 21 can effectively reduce the resistance generated by moving clothes, making the ironing action smoother and more fluid.

[0028] More specifically, the clamp 2 rotates relative to the ironing board 12 to reach a maximum opening angle; when at the maximum opening angle, the height of the blocking wall 21 is greater than or equal to the distance between the clamp 2 and the ironing board 12 at its position; this prevents clothing from passing over the blocking wall 21. In this embodiment, since the blocking wall 21 is disposed on the clamp 2 and the receiving groove 113 is disposed on the ironing board 12, when at the maximum opening angle, the height of the blocking wall 21 is greater than or equal to the distance between the clamp 2 and the ironing board 12 at its position. Therefore, the upper side of the blocking wall 21 is aligned with the entrance of the receiving groove 113, or the upper side of the blocking wall 21 enters the receiving groove 113.

[0029] The ironing device further includes a driving mechanism 4; the driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the clamping plate 2 to rotate; the driving mechanism 4 includes a driving member 41, a connecting block 42, and a rotating shaft 43. The clamping plate 2 is provided with a protrusion 22, the connecting block 42 is connected to the protrusion 22, the rotating shaft 43 is fixedly mounted on the ironing body 1, and the connecting block 42 is rotatably connected to the driving member 41 and the rotating shaft 43 respectively. The driving member 41 can be controlled to move to drive the connecting block 42 to rotate around the rotating shaft 43; the protrusion 22, the connecting block 42, and the rotating shaft 43 define the rotating connection point 3. The driving mechanism 4 also includes an elastic member 44, which is a torsion spring. The elastic member 44 is connected between the ironing body 1 and the connecting block 42 to drive the clamping plate 2 to clamp against the ironing plate 12. The driving component 41 includes a driving shaft 411 and a driving button 412. One end of the driving shaft 411 is connected to the connecting block 42, and the driving button 412 is movably disposed on the handheld part 111 of the housing 11. The driving button 412 is connected to the other end of the driving shaft 411. The driving button 412 can be pressed to drive the driving shaft 411 to move downward.

[0030] The ironing device also includes a protective cover 5, which covers the outside of the clamping plate 2 when not in use.

[0031] During use, the user can press the drive button 412, which drives the connecting block 42 to rotate around the rotating shaft 43 via the drive shaft 411. At this time, the clamping plate 2 rotates around the rotating connection 3, and the elastic element 44 is compressed, generating elastic force. The blocking wall 21 begins to move away from the receiving groove 113, but at its maximum opening angle, the upper side of the blocking wall 21 is still within the receiving groove 113. At this time, clothing can be placed between the ironing plate 12 and the clamping plate 2. By releasing the drive button 412, the elastic element 44 can drive the clamping plate 2 to clamp the clothing. By moving the ironing device, the clothing can be ironed.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
