Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing ironing technology, specifically to an ironing device. Background Technology
[0002] When using a traditional garment steamer, because there is no steaming board, ironing usually requires one hand to hold the clothes while the other hand operates the steamer, slowly moving the steaming brush head to use steam to soften the clothes. This is slow, consumes a lot of electricity, and cannot achieve a very smooth finish.
[0003] Some products on the market attempt to solve the above problems with steam garment steamers, adding an ironing plate. However, if the ironing plate is too small, longer garments or trousers can only be partially pressed and ironed. If the ironing plate is too large, it affects packaging and increases transportation costs. It may also directly affect the stability of the garment steamer, increasing the risk of tipping over and causing burns.
[0004] Some handheld steam irons on the market have solved the problem of not having an ironing board. However, handheld irons often have a heavy weight due to the presence of a boiler, electric water pump, motor, and other electrical components inside the machine, especially when the water tank is full, which affects the user experience. To reduce weight, manufacturers often reduce the boiler size and steam output, or reduce the water tank capacity and continuous ironing time. Furthermore, because the electrodes and water pump are inside the machine, they are relatively close to the user's ears. The combined noise from these two factors often exceeds 70 decibels.
[0005] The above-mentioned problems have led some consumers to avoid choosing this type of product due to its poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0031] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: base 1, brush head 2, hanger 3, hose 4, panel 5, housing 6, boiler 7, nozzle 8, air intake 9, steam outlet 10, connector 11, water tank 12, air outlet 13, suction motor 14, handle 15, isolation panel 16, groove 17, control board 18, power cord 19, signal line 20, water inlet pipe 21, power board box 22, power board 23, heat dissipation hole 24, cable outlet hole 25, cooling pipe 26, water pump 27, steel wire 28, filter screen 29, air inlet 30, heat dissipation hole 31, and exhaust channel 32.
[0032] As attached Figure 1-8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment illustrates an ironing device, which mainly includes a base 1, a brush head 2, a clothes hanger 3, and a hose 4. The clothes hanger 3 is mounted on the base 1 and used to hang clothes to be ironed. The brush head 2 is the key component that directly acts on the clothes, and it integrates a panel 5, a housing 6, a boiler 7, and a nozzle 8. The boiler 7 is used to generate high-temperature steam, and the nozzle 8 is related to the suction function. The panel 5 is located on one side of the housing 6, and has an air intake 9 and a steam outlet 10. The steam outlet 10 is directly connected to the boiler 7 and is used to spray steam to moisten the clothing fibers. One end of the nozzle 8 is connected to the air intake 9 on the panel 5, and the other end is connected to the base 1 via the hose 4.
[0033] The base 1 contains a water tank 12 with an air inlet 30 and an air outlet. The air inlet 30 is connected to the nozzle 8 at the brush head 2 via a flexible hose 4, forming a complete air intake channel. The air outlet is connected to the outside of the base 1, where a suction motor 14 is located. When the suction motor 14 operates, it generates a strong negative pressure airflow along the entire path from the air intake 9 of the brush head 2 to the air outlet of the base 1. In use, simply hang the clothes on the hanger 3 and use the suction function to iron them; there is no need to hold the clothes by hand or use an ironing board, making it convenient for the user.
[0034] The water tank 12 is connected to the air intake channel, with the entire channel passing through the interior of the water tank 12. This design is primarily because some of the steam from the brush head 2 is drawn into the hose 4, producing some condensation. This condensation, as it passes through the space of the water tank 12, can fall into the water tank 12 due to gravity. Additionally, any remaining uncooled steam can condense into water upon contact with the cold water inside the water tank 12 and remain there. This effectively reduces the temperature of the gas and the amount of water discharged outside the machine.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to optimize exhaust efficiency and prevent hot air accumulation, an air outlet 13 is specially provided on the outer wall of the base 1. A specific exhaust channel 32 is designed between the air outlet 13 and the suction motor 14 to ensure that the airflow drawn in can be smoothly and directionally discharged to the outside of the device after passing through the motor.
[0036] A handle 15 is also provided between the hose 4 and the nozzle 8 of the brush head 2. The handle 15 has an internal channel to ensure that the airflow drawn in from the brush head 2 can pass through unobstructed. The handle 15 is ergonomically designed, allowing users to hold the brush head 2 more comfortably and flexibly for ironing.
[0037] Inside the brush head 2, an isolation plate 16 is provided on the side near the panel 5, and the boiler 7 is placed within the area defined by this isolation plate 16. Correspondingly, a groove 17 adapted to the shape of the isolation plate 16 is provided on the panel 5, and the steam outlet 10 is located in this groove 17. This structure cleverly physically isolates the high-temperature steam injection zone from the negative pressure suction zone in space, effectively preventing steam from being accidentally sucked into the system, protecting the internal air duct components, and ensuring the specificity of the suction efficiency.
[0038] The handle 15 houses a control panel 18 for processing user commands. The hose 4 integrates a power cord 19, a signal line 20, and a water inlet pipe 21. The power cord 19 supplies power to the boiler 7 inside the brush head 2 to generate steam. The signal line 20 connects the control panel 18 inside the handle 15 to the main control system of the base 1 to transmit commands. The water inlet pipe 21 is responsible for delivering water from the water tank 12 of the base 1 to the boiler 7.
[0039] The base 1 has a power board box 22 on its inner wall, which houses the core power board 23. The side wall of the base 1 has ventilation holes 24 that communicate with the interior of the power board box 22, using air convection to naturally dissipate heat from the power board 23, preventing overheating.
[0040] Inside the base 1, there is a connector 11 with a cable outlet 25. The power cord 19, signal cord 20, and water inlet pipe 21 converge here and enter the connector 11 through the cable outlet 25, and then neatly pass through the flexible hose 4 to the brush head 2. To further enhance the heat dissipation effect, a cooling pipe 26 is connected between the power board box 22 and the connector 11, which can use the airflow drawn in by the nozzle 8 to cool the power board 23.
[0041] The base 1 also houses a water pump 27. A water inlet pipe 21 connects the water pump 27 to the boiler 7, with the water pump 27 providing power to pressurize and deliver water to the boiler 7. A power cord 19 connects the power board 23 to the boiler 7, providing them with electrical power. A signal cord 20 connects the power board 23 to the control board 18 inside the handle 15, forming a complete control loop.
[0042] To enhance the durability and shape retention of the hose 4 and prevent deformation after frequent bending, steel wire 28 is wound around the outside or inside of the hose 4. This greatly improves the product's lifespan and handling feel.
[0043] Finally, a removable filter 29 is also installed at the bottom of the brush head 2. This filter can effectively intercept lint, dust and other impurities sucked from clothing, preventing them from entering and clogging the internal air duct, and the removable design makes it easy for users to clean regularly and maintain the best performance of the device.
[0044] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
