Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ironing system, and more specifically, to an ironing system comprising an ironing board and a main body that rotatably supports the ironing board. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing made of specific materials, such as cotton or linen, develops significant wrinkles after washing or daily wear. To allow for repeated wear, these garments are ironed.

[0003] The most common method of ironing involves placing the garment on a blanket or ironing board on the floor and applying pressure to the garment while holding the iron. However, this method causes significant inconvenience as it forces the user to sit on the floor or crouch. Additionally, since the iron operates by receiving power, there was a limitation in that ironing had to be performed near a wall with an electrical outlet installed.

[0004] Recently, to solve these problems, an ironing system has emerged that raises the ironing board on which clothes are placed to the user's waist level, allowing the user to perform ironing continuously without straining their body.

[0005] Korean Patent Publication No. 2021-0004816 (hereinafter referred to as the "prior art") discloses an "ironing system," wherein the ironing system comprises an ironing board, a support member, and a grounding member.

[0006] The ironing board is equipped with a pressure surface capable of applying pressure to clothing. The ironing board is provided with a length greater than its width. Therefore, the user can place long clothing on the pressure surface and iron it.

[0007] The support member is provided beneath the ironing board to support it. The support member is provided with a height greater than its thickness or width. Therefore, the ironing board is set above an adult's waist height, allowing the user to perform ironing while standing. The grounding member is provided beneath the support member to support the load of the support member.

[0008] The above ironing system further includes a connecting part. The connecting part is rotatably coupled to an ironing board. The ironing board can rotate horizontally around the connecting part on the upper surface of the support part.

[0009] A blower is positioned at the bottom of the ironing board. The blower expels air from inside the ironing board to the outside (downward). However, as the ironing board rotates horizontally while resting on the upper surface of the support, the upper surface of the support may be located below the blower. In this state, it is difficult for the blower to smoothly expel air from inside the ironing board to the outside (downward).

[0010] According to the aforementioned prior art, various electrical components, such as a blower and a sensor, are installed in the ironing board. The electrical room is equipped with a control unit that controls various electrical components, such as the blower and the sensor. The various electrical components may be electrically connected to the control unit through the interior of the ironing board or may be electrically connected to each other.

[0011] Failures in electronic products are primarily caused by electrical connection points, such as open circuits, short circuits, and poor contact. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the wiring connections of internal electrical components in ironing boards and optimize the wire layout. The problem to be solved

[0012] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of an ironing system comprising an ironing board and a main body that rotatably supports the ironing board.

[0013] Specifically, the purpose is to provide an ironing system in which the blower can smoothly discharge air from inside the ironing board to the outside (downward) while the ironing board is placed on the upper surface of the main body by optimizing the placement of the blower on the ironing board and the length of the upper surface of the main body.

[0014] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an ironing system capable of optimizing the arrangement of wires inside the ironing board.

[0015] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an ironing system capable of optimizing the arrangement structure of various electrical components inside the ironing board.

[0017] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0018] The ironing system described in this application may include an ironing board, a connecting part, and a main body.

[0019] The ironing board may include a pressure surface for ironing clothes. A plurality of air passage holes may be formed on the pressure surface.

[0020] The connecting part can be rotatably connected to the ironing board at the rear of the pressure surface around a central axis perpendicular to the pressure surface.

[0021] The lower surface of the main body can be placed on the ground. The connecting part of the main body can be rotatably connected so that the central axis can stand upright or lie down.

[0022] The ironing board may include a board body, a blower, and a display unit.

[0023] The plate body can form a gap between itself and the pressurized surface at the rear of the pressurized surface.

[0024] The blower can be connected to the plate body at the rear of the pressurized surface. The blower can discharge air from the gap space to the rear of the pressurized surface.

[0025] The display unit can be coupled to the plate body. The display unit can output information.

[0026] The blower and the display unit may be positioned on the same side from the central axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board.

[0027] The ironing board, connecting part, and main body can satisfy the following formula.

[0028]

[0029] Here, LS1 refers to the minimum distance from the center axis to the edge of the blower based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing board, and LS2 refers to the maximum distance from the center axis to the edge of the upper surface of the main body based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing board.

[0030] The display section may be spaced apart from the central axis relative to the pressure surface along the longitudinal direction of the ironing board.

[0031] Part or all of the display section may be spaced apart from the central axis relative to the pressure surface with respect to the width direction of the ironing board.

[0032] The main body can accommodate a control unit inside.

[0033] The connecting part penetrates through the central axis, allowing the gap space and the interior of the main body to be connected.

[0034] A first wire passing through the interior of the connection part can electrically connect the control part and the display part.

[0035] The main body can accommodate a control unit inside.

[0036] The connecting part penetrates through the central axis, allowing the gap space and the interior of the main body to be connected.

[0037] A second wire passing through the interior of the connection part can electrically connect the control unit and the blower.

[0038] A handle may be formed on the edge of the plate body behind the pressure surface.

[0039] The minimum distance from the center axis to the edge of the handle along the longitudinal direction of the ironing board may be LS2 or greater.

[0040] The ironing board may include a straight section and an inclined section.

[0041] The straight section can form both sides of the ironing board. The straight section can be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board.

[0042] The inclined sections can be connected to the straight sections. The inclined sections can become closer to each other as they extend along the length of the ironing board.

[0043] The blower and the inclined part can be positioned on opposite sides from the central axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board.

[0044] With the central axis established, the plate body can be positioned on the upper surface of the main body.

[0045] The main body may include a grounding portion on which the lower surface rests on the ground, and a support portion extending upward from the upper surface of the grounding portion and forming the upper surface of the main body. Effects of the invention

[0046] According to the ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting part and the main body can satisfy the following formula.

[0047]

[0048] Here, LS1 may refer to the minimum distance from the central axis to the edge of the blower along the longitudinal direction of the ironing board. And LS2 may refer to the maximum distance from the central axis to the edge of the upper surface of the main body along the longitudinal direction of the ironing board. Therefore, in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system, the upper surface of the main body may not be located below the blower and the exhaust port. Accordingly, in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system, the blower can smoothly discharge air from the gap space to the rear (bottom) of the pressurized surface. Consequently, in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system, the clothing spread on the pressurized surface can maintain the same state of being in close contact with the pressurized surface. Therefore, the user can smoothly proceed with ironing the clothing spread on the pressurized surface.

[0049] According to an ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a handle may be formed on the edge of the plate body behind the pressure surface. The minimum distance from the central axis to the edge of the handle, based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing plate, may be LS2 or greater. Therefore, in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system, the upper surface of the main body may not be located below the handle. Accordingly, the user can grasp the handle in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system and smoothly rotate the ironing plate to the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system.

[0050] According to an ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the blower and the inclined section may be positioned on opposite sides from the central axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board. With respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board, the cross-sectional area of ​​the separation space in the inclined section may decrease as it is further separated from the blower. Accordingly, a decrease in the suction speed of the air passage hole proportional to the distance from the blower can be prevented. Therefore, clothing spread on the pressure surface can smoothly maintain a state of close contact with the pressure surface even on the side of the inclined section.

[0051] According to an ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display unit may be spaced apart from the central axis relative to the pressure surface with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board. Part or all of the display unit may be spaced apart from the central axis relative to the pressure surface with respect to the width direction of the ironing board. Accordingly, the second wire may be arranged lengthwise toward the first central axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board without interference with the blower. Thus, the arrangement of the second wire inside the ironing board can be simplified.

[0052] According to an ironing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display unit can be electrically connected to the blower. A third wire passing through the inside of the ironing board can electrically connect the display unit and the blower. The blower and the display unit can be positioned on the same side from the central axis with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board. Thus, the length of the electrical connection between the display unit and the blower can be minimized. Thus, the length of the third wire can be minimized. Brief explanation of the drawing

Alternatively, the user can switch the ironing system (1) to a usage state by rotating the ironing board (100) 90 degrees in the second state of the ironing system (1) so that the first central axis (401) is upright.

[0110] In the state of use of the ironing system (1), the pressure surface (110) can form a surface parallel to the level surface. Therefore, in the state of use of the ironing system (1), the user can press the clothing placed on the pressure surface (110) with the iron and iron it.

[0111] And in the usage state of the ironing system (1), the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) may be parallel to the X-axis. The lower surface of the grounding part (300) may be longer in the X-axis direction than in the Y-axis direction.

[0112] Accordingly, when a pressure (P) is applied in the direction of gravity to the end of the pressure surface (110) in each of the first state and the usage state of the ironing system (1), the ironing system (1) may have higher overturning stability in the usage state than in the first state. In the usage state of the ironing system (1), the user can sufficiently press the clothing placed on the pressure surface (110) with the iron and iron it.

[0113] The second state of the ironing system (1) may mean a state in which the first central axis (401) is parallel to the Y-axis and the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) is parallel to the X-axis (see FIG. 3).

[0114] The user can switch the ironing system (1) to a second state by rotating the ironing board (100) 90 degrees so that the first central axis (401) lies flat while the ironing system (1) is in use. Alternatively, the user can switch the ironing system (1) to a second state by rotating the ironing board (100) 90 degrees so that the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) is parallel to the Z-axis while the ironing system (1) is in storage.

[0115] FIG. 7 is a front view of an ironing system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0116] The ironing board (100) may be provided with a length (H1) that is longer than its width (D1). The support member (200) may be provided with a height (H2) that is longer than its width (D2) to ensure the height of the ironing board (100) in use of the ironing system (1). The width of the ironing board (100) and the width of the support member (200) may be the same.

[0117] The back surface of the ironing board (100) (opposite side of the pressure surface (110)) may have its length direction parallel to the height direction of the seating surface (212). Thus, the storage area of ​​the ironing system (1) can be reduced.

[0118] Additionally, the planar surface area of ​​the ironing board (100), which has a high center of gravity in the ironing system (1), is reduced to prevent the support member (200) from tipping over. In the storage state of the ironing system (1), the back surface of the ironing board (100) may be placed on the seating surface (212) or spaced apart by a small gap (see FIG. 3).

[0119] FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an ironing system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the front upper side, and is a drawing showing a second state of the ironing system (1).

[0120] FIG. 9 is a front view of an ironing system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing showing a second state of the ironing system (1).

[0121] FIG. 10 is a front view of an ironing system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the usage state of the ironing system (1). FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view AA' of FIG. 10.

[0122] The ironing board (100) may include a pressure board (114) and a porous member (113).

[0123] The porous member (113) can form the surface of the pressure surface (110). The porous member (113) can be provided with a soft porous material such as woven fabrics.

[0124] The pressure board (114) can support the porous member (113) behind the pressure surface (110). The pressure board (114) can be made of a high-strength material such as a metal plate. Thus, the surface of the porous member (113) can form a flat surface by the pressure board (114).

[0125] A plurality of holes can be machined across the entire surface of the pressure board (114). The holes of the pressure board (114) and the fine holes of the porous member (113) can be connected to each other. Thus, the pressure surface (110) can form a plurality of holes (115; hereinafter 'air passage holes') through which air passes.

[0126] The ironing board (100) may include a board body (120). A pressure board (114) may be coupled to the board body (120). A connecting plate (420) may be rotatably coupled to the board body (120) at the rear of the pressure surface (110). The board body (120) may form a gap (101) between itself and the pressure surface (110) at the rear of the pressure surface (110).

[0127] The ironing board (100) may include a blower (160). One or more blowers (160) may be provided depending on the capacity. The blower (160) may be connected to the board body (120) behind the pressurizing surface (110). The blower (160) may be connected to the board body (120) within the spaced-out space (101).

[0128] The blower (160) can discharge air from the gap space (101) to the rear (bottom) of the pressurized surface (110). The plate body (120) can form an exhaust port for discharging air pressurized by the blower (160). The blower (160) can be equipped as an axial fan in which the rotation axis and the direction of the wind are the same.

[0129] As the blower (160) discharges air from the gap space (101) to the rear of the pressurized surface (110), the gap space (101) can form negative pressure. Therefore, the ironing board (100) can draw in external air through the air passage hole (115) on the pressurized surface (110).

[0130] Therefore, when the blower (160) is operated in the first state and usage state of the ironing system (1), the clothing spread on the pressure surface (110) can maintain a state of close contact with the pressure surface (110). Thus, the user can smoothly proceed with ironing the clothing spread on the pressure surface (110).

[0131] The further the air passage hole (115) is separated from the blower (160), the lower the suction speed of the air passage hole (115) can be.

[0132] The blower (160) and the inclined section (112) can be positioned on opposite sides from the first central axis (401) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100).

[0133] Based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100), the cross-sectional area of ​​the separation space (101) in the inclined section (112) may decrease as it is further separated from the blower (160). The cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe through which the fluid flows and the velocity of the fluid may be inversely proportional to each other.

[0134] Since the blower (160) and the inclined section (112) are positioned on opposite sides from the first central axis (401), and the cross-sectional area of ​​the separation space (101) in the inclined section (112) decreases as it is further separated from the blower (160), the reduction in the suction speed of the air passage hole (115) due to the distance from the blower (160) can be prevented. Therefore, the clothing spread on the pressure surface (110) can smoothly maintain a state of close contact with the pressure surface (110) even on the side of the inclined section (112).

[0135] Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of BB' of Figure 10.

[0136] FIG. 13 is a partial plan view of an ironing system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the interior of an ironing board (100) in a state of use of the ironing system (1).

[0137] The display unit (140) can be coupled to the plate body (120). The display unit (140) can be spaced apart from the first central axis (401) relative to the pressure surface (110) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) (see FIG. 10).

[0138] The display unit (140) may be provided between the pressure surface (110) and the end of the ironing board (100) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100). The display unit (140) may be provided next to the seating unit (130) with respect to the width direction of the ironing board (100) (see FIG. 5).

[0139] The connecting portion (400) penetrates through the first central axis (401) and can connect the spaced-out space (101) and the interior of the main body (10). A first wire (W1) passing through the interior (hollow portion) of the connecting portion (400) can electrically connect the control unit (M) and the display unit (140). The user can operate the display unit (140) to transmit and receive information with the control unit (M).

[0140] A second wire (W2) passing through the interior of the connection part (400) can electrically connect the control unit (M) and the blower (160). The control unit (M) can automatically control the blower (160) according to the state of the ironing system (1).

[0141] Part or all of the display section (140) may be spaced apart from the first central axis (401) than the pressure surface (110) with respect to the width direction of the ironing board (100).

[0142] Therefore, the second wire (W2) can be positioned lengthwise toward the first central axis (401) along the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) without interference with the blower (160). Thus, the arrangement of the second wire (W2) inside the ironing board (100) can be simplified.

[0143] The display unit (140) can be electrically connected to the blower (160). A third wire (W3) passing through the inside of the ironing board (100) can electrically connect the display unit (140) and the blower (160). The user can operate the blower (160) by operating the display unit (140).

[0144] The blower (160) and the display unit (140) can be positioned on the same side from the first central axis (401) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100). Thus, the length of the electrical connection between the display unit (140) and the blower (160) can be minimized. That is, the length of the third wire (W3) can be minimized.

[0145] The ironing board (100), connecting part (400), and main body (10) can satisfy the following [Mathematical Formula 1].

[0146]

[0147] Here, L S1 can mean the minimum distance from the first central axis (401) to the edge of the blower (160) based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100). And L S2 This may mean the maximum distance from the first central axis (401) to the upper edge of the main body (10) based on the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100).

[0148] Therefore, in the first state and usage state of the ironing system (1), the upper surface of the main body (10) may not be located below the blower (160) and the exhaust port. Accordingly, in the first state and usage state of the ironing system (1), the blower (160) can smoothly discharge air from the gap space (101) to the rear (bottom) of the pressurized surface (110).

[0149] Depending on the case, the user can iron the clothing placed on the pressure surface (110) with the iron while the ironing board (100) is rotated between the first state and the usage state of the ironing system (1) (hereinafter referred to as the 'intermediate state').

[0150] Even in the intermediate state, the upper surface of the main body (10) may not be located below the blower (160) and the exhaust port. Therefore, even in the intermediate state, the blower (160) can smoothly discharge the air of the spaced-out space (101) to the rear (bottom) of the pressurized surface (110).

[0151] Therefore, when the blower (160) is operated in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system (1), the clothing spread on the pressure surface (110) can maintain the same state of being in close contact with the pressure surface (110). Thus, the user can smoothly proceed with ironing the clothing spread on the pressure surface (110).

[0152] A handle (150) may be formed on the edge of the plate body (120) behind the pressure surface (110). The minimum distance from the first central axis (401) to the edge of the handle (150) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ironing board (100) is L. S2 It could be more than that.

[0153] Therefore, in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system (1), the upper surface of the main body (10) may not be located below the handle (150). Accordingly, the user can hold the handle (150) in the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system (1) and smoothly rotate the ironing board (100) to the first state, usage state, and intermediate state of the ironing system (1).

[0154] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments and can be modified and varied in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or perspective of the present invention, and the modified embodiments should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
