The heating element includes a heating plate, the top of which is fixedly connected to the iron body. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the iron body, and a heater is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate. A temperature control module is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the heater, and the bottom of the heater contacts the heating plate. The handle is covered with a non-slip silicone layer and has a textured surface to effectively increase friction when gripping, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. The mounting plate is fixed to the inner wall of the iron body by multiple screws, providing stable support for the heater and temperature control module. The heater is a ceramic heating element, characterized by rapid heating and uniform heat distribution. Its bottom is in close contact with the heating plate, allowing for rapid heat transfer.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the rapid cooling mechanism includes a housing, one side of which is connected to the iron body, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing, a cooling fan is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket, and heat conduction grooves are provided at the top and bottom of the housing. Through the connection between the housing and the iron body, combined with the synergistic effect of the cooling fan and the heat conduction grooves, an efficient air convection channel is formed. When the cooling fan is activated, cold air from the outside enters from the bottom heat conduction groove and is discharged through the top heat conduction groove, achieving rapid heat exchange. This active heat dissipation method can effectively improve the cooling effect and significantly reduce the risk of accidental burns to users. The mounting bracket, while ensuring mechanical strength, minimizes obstruction to airflow and optimizes heat dissipation efficiency.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that a control switch is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the handle. The control switch is electrically connected to the heater through a wire. The control switch adopts a waterproof touch button design and is connected with a high temperature resistant wire.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature control module includes a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, and an alarm module. The output terminal of the temperature control module is electrically connected to the control motherboard. The temperature sensor, microprocessor, and alarm module are integrated on a small circuit board. A platinum resistance temperature sensor is used, which can quickly and accurately detect the temperature change of the heating plate and transmit the temperature signal to the microprocessor in real time. The microprocessor controls the power of the heater according to the difference between the preset temperature value and the actual temperature value to achieve automatic and precise temperature control. When the actual temperature exceeds the preset range, the alarm module is immediately activated, emitting a buzzer alarm and flashing lights to remind the user to deal with the situation in time and avoid damage to clothing or safety hazards caused by abnormal temperature.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell. One side of the support plate is a flat structure. The support plate serves to place the iron. During the ironing process, the iron can be placed vertically on the platform so that the heating plate is detached from the contact surface, thus avoiding burns to the table or clothing.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0015] 1. This utility model sets up a temperature control module in the heating component, uses a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the heating plate in real time, and transmits the data to a microprocessor. The microprocessor intelligently adjusts the heater power according to the difference between the preset temperature value and the actual temperature, so as to achieve precise automatic control of the iron temperature, effectively avoid damage to clothes due to abnormal temperature, and significantly improve the ironing quality.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a cooling fan and a heat conduction groove to work together.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model is an automatic temperature-controlled iron, including an iron body 1, a handle 2 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the iron body 1, a heating component 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the iron body 1, and a rapid cooling mechanism 4 fixedly connected to one side of the iron body 1. The heating component 3 includes a heating plate 31, the top of the heating plate 31 is fixedly connected to the iron body 1, an mounting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the iron body 1, a heater 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 32, a temperature control module 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the heater 33, and the bottom of the heater 33 is in contact with the heating plate 31.

[0027] Specifically: the surface of the handle 2 is covered with a non-slip silicone layer and has a textured surface, which can effectively increase the friction when gripping and reduce fatigue during long-term use. The mounting plate 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the iron body 1 by multiple screws. The mounting plate 32 can provide stable mounting support for the heater 33 and the temperature control module 34. The heater 33 is a ceramic heating element, which has the characteristics of fast heating speed and uniform heating. Its bottom is in close contact with the heating plate 31, which can quickly transfer heat to the heating plate 31.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the rapid cooling mechanism 4 includes a housing 41, one side of which is connected to the iron body 1. A mounting bracket 42 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 41, and a cooling fan 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 42. Heat conduction grooves 44 are provided on the top and bottom of the housing 41. A control switch 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the handle 2. The control switch 5 is electrically connected to the heater 33 through a wire. A display screen 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the handle 2. A control main board is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the handle 2. The display screen 6 is electrically connected to the control main board through a wire. A connecting seat 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the handle 2. A connecting wire 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 7. The temperature control module 34 includes a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, and an alarm module. The output end of the temperature control module 34 is electrically connected to the control main board. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 41. One side of the support plate 9 is a planar structure.

[0030] Specifically: Through the connection design between the outer shell 41 and the iron body 1, combined with the synergistic effect of the cooling fan 43 and the heat conduction groove 44, an efficient air convection channel is formed. When the cooling fan 43 is activated, cold air from the outside enters through the bottom heat conduction groove 44 and is discharged through the top heat conduction groove 44, achieving rapid heat exchange. This active heat dissipation method can effectively improve the cooling effect and significantly reduce the risk of accidental burns to users. The mounting bracket 42, while ensuring mechanical strength, minimizes airflow obstruction and optimizes heat dissipation efficiency. The control switch 5 adopts a waterproof touch button design, combined with high-temperature resistant wire connection, allowing users to easily control the start and stop of the heater 33 with one hand, avoiding safety hazards caused by frequent power plugging and unplugging. The integrated design of the display screen 6 and the control motherboard enables visualization of the iron's working status. Users can obtain information such as the current temperature, preset temperature, and working mode in real time, avoiding ironing accidents caused by temperature misjudgment. In case of poor performance or damage to clothing, the combined design of connector 7 and connector 8 improves ease of use. The standard power interface ensures compatibility with various power adapters, expanding the application scenarios. The temperature sensor, microprocessor, and alarm module are integrated on a small circuit board. Using a platinum resistance temperature sensor, it can quickly and accurately detect temperature changes of the heating plate 31 and transmit the temperature signal to the microprocessor in real time. The microprocessor controls the power of the heater 33 based on the difference between the preset temperature value and the actual temperature value, achieving automatic and precise temperature control. When the actual temperature exceeds the preset range, the alarm module is activated immediately, emitting a buzzer alarm and flashing light to remind the user to deal with it in time and avoid damage to clothing or safety hazards caused by abnormal temperature. The support plate 9 serves to place the iron. During ironing, the iron can be placed upright on the platform, so that the heating plate 31 is detached from the contact surface, avoiding burns to the table or clothing.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the user presses the control switch 5 to turn on the heater 33 and heats up the heater 33. Since the heater 33 uses a ceramic heating element, it generates heat quickly and efficiently by means of fast heating speed and uniform heating. The heat is then efficiently transferred to the heating plate 31 in close contact with it. The heating plate 31 can quickly absorb the heat and distribute the heat evenly on the bottom, providing a heat source for ironing clothes.

[0032] During the heating process, the temperature sensor detects the temperature change of the heating plate 31 in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the power of the heater 33 based on the difference between the preset temperature value and the actual detected temperature value. If the actual temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the microprocessor controls the increase of the power of the heater 33 to accelerate the heating rate. If the actual temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the microprocessor reduces the power of the heater 33 to prevent the temperature from getting too high. Once the actual temperature exceeds the preset range, the alarm module is activated immediately, reminding the user with a buzzer alarm and flashing lights to avoid damage to clothing or safety accidents caused by abnormal temperature, thereby achieving automatic and precise temperature control.

[0033] When ironing is finished and heater 33 is turned off, the cooling fan 43 can be automatically started while the power is on to expel hot air through the heat conduction channel 44, achieving rapid heat exchange, greatly shortening the cooling time of the iron, reducing the risk of accidental burns to the user, and turning off the cooling fan 43 when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has dropped to the preset value.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
