Description

An ironing machine Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ironing equipment, and in particular to an ironing machine. Background Art

[0002] An ironing machine is a device used to iron wrinkles on garments after processing or washing. Early ironing machines were mostly electrically heated, but the increased temperature could easily burn clothing, so steam-powered ironing machines gradually became the mainstream.

[0003] A common ironing machine includes a nozzle and a steam base connected by a pipe. The steam base is equipped with a water tank and a heating device, and the nozzle is equipped with a pressure pump. Before use, the steam base is placed on the table, the water in the water tank is first heated to a steam state by the heating device, and then the steam is sprayed out of the nozzle by the pressure pump for ironing.

[0004] However, in actual use, in many scenarios, due to limited space and the absence of tables, boards and other objects, clothes that need to be ironed are often hung on the clothes hanging rod. Due to the limited length of the pipe, the steam seat needs to move with the nozzle. When ironing the hung clothes, there may be no space for the steam seat. The ironing can only be done by holding the nozzle in one hand and the steam seat in the other hand. As a result, there is room for improvement in the convenience of using the iron.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to improve the convenience of using an ironing machine, the present application provides an ironing machine.

[0007] The present application provides an ironing machine that adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An ironing machine includes a steam seat and a nozzle, wherein the steam seat is provided with a fixing groove, a fixing block is slidably arranged in the fixing groove, the fixing block is provided with a fixing hook, a locking assembly is provided between the fixing groove and the fixing block, and the locking assembly is used to lock the fixing block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when ironing clothes hung on a clothes hanger in a space-limited scenario, the locking assembly can be released from the fixed block and the fixed block can be slid out of the fixed hook. The locking assembly can then be used to lock the fixed block, and the fixed hook can be hung on the clothes hanger, thereby hanging the steam seat as a whole on the clothes hanger, making it easier to iron the clothes. Compared with the previous method of holding the steam seat with one hand and the nozzle with the other hand, the convenience of using the ironing machine is greatly improved. When the steam seat is no longer needed, the fixed block can be slid back to retract the fixed hook and the locking assembly can be used to lock the fixed block in the fixed slot. This allows the fixed hook to be as close to the steam seat as possible, reducing the space occupied and reducing the inconvenience caused by interference from the fixed hook during normal use.

[0010] Preferably, the steam seat is provided with an auxiliary groove communicating with the fixing groove, the fixing hook can enter the auxiliary groove, and the locking assembly is provided between the auxiliary groove and the fixing hook for locking the fixing hook.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing block slides in the fixing groove in the direction away from the fixing hook, the fixing hook moves with the fixing block and approaches the auxiliary groove. When the side wall of the fixing block away from the fixing hook contacts the inner wall of the fixing groove, the fixing hook enters the auxiliary groove. At this time, the locking assembly can be used to lock the fixing hook in the auxiliary groove, and the fixing block can be locked in the fixing groove at the same time. In this way, the fixing hook can be retracted into the auxiliary groove, further reducing the inconvenience caused by interference from the fixing hook during normal use, and improving the convenience of using the ironing machine.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing hook is provided with a finger groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the finger groove is used to facilitate pulling and pushing the fixing hook, thereby facilitating the sliding of the fixing block and improving the convenience of use.

[0014] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a first locking magnet and a second locking magnet, the first locking magnet is arranged on the fixed hook, and the second locking magnet is arranged on the inner wall of the auxiliary groove, the first locking magnet and the second locking magnet can be attached to each other and magnetically attracted, and a locking piece is provided between the fixed groove and the fixed block, and the locking piece is used to lock the fixed block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing hook slides and fully enters the auxiliary slot, the first locking magnet on the fixing hook and the second locking magnet on the inner wall of the auxiliary slot come into contact and magnetically attract each other, thereby locking the fixing hook in the auxiliary slot and simultaneously locking the fixing block in the fixing slot. The fixing hook can be retracted, facilitating normal use of the ironing machine. When it is necessary to extend the fixing hook to hang the steam seat, simply pull the fixing hook firmly to separate the first and second locking magnets. Then, use the locking member to lock the fixing block, and the steam seat can be hung using the fixing hook, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0016] Preferably, the locking member is a locking block, which is arranged on the inner wall of the fixing groove. The fixing block is provided with a sliding groove, and the locking block is inserted into the sliding groove and can slide in the sliding groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixed block is pushed to slide in the fixed groove, the locking block will also slide in the sliding groove. When the sliding fixed block extends out of the fixed hook, the locking block slides in the sliding groove until it abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove away from the fixed hook. This can reduce the probability of the fixing block accidentally detaching from the fixing groove, thereby facilitating the hanging of the steam seat, reducing the risk of the steam seat falling when hanging, and improving safety in use.

[0018] Preferably, the steam seat is provided with a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is provided with a fixing clamping plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is no object for the fixed hook to hang but there are other objects such as hooks in the usage scenario, the steam seat can be hung on the hook or other objects through the fixed clip on the fixed plate, further improving the convenience of using the ironing machine.

[0020] Preferably, the nozzle includes a handheld piece, a connecting piece and a steam spraying piece, wherein the connecting piece is arranged between the handheld piece and the steam spraying piece, and the connecting piece is rotatably connected to the steam spraying piece.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when ironing, the handpiece of the nozzle is held and the steam spray piece is aimed at the clothes to be ironed. In some scenarios, the angle between the handpiece and the steam spray piece may be inconvenient for ironing. At this time, the steam spray piece can be rotated by rotating the connection between the connecting piece and the steam spray piece so that the angle between the handpiece and the steam spray piece is convenient for ironing, thereby further improving the convenience of using the ironing machine.

[0022] Preferably, the steam seat is provided with a connecting groove, the steam spray piece can be inserted into the connecting groove, the inner wall of the connecting groove is provided with a first connecting slot and a first connecting plug, the steam spray piece is provided with a second connecting plug and a second connecting slot, the second connecting block can be inserted into the first connecting slot, and the first connecting block can be inserted into the second connecting slot.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting block is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity. After ironing, the second connecting block on the steam spray piece can be inserted into the first connecting slot of the steam seat. The steam spray piece is then inserted into the connecting slot so that the first connecting block on the inner wall of the connecting slot is inserted into the second connecting slot on the steam spray piece. This secures the steam spray piece in the connecting slot of the steam seat, reducing the space occupied by the ironing machine and facilitating storage. When the ironing machine is needed, the handpiece is grasped and pulled, thereby moving the steam spray piece and disengaging the first connecting block from the second connecting slot. At the same time, the handpiece is continued to be pulled to disengage the second connecting block from the first connecting slot. The steam spray piece can then be removed from the connecting slot. The overall operation is simple and convenient.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The steam seat, fixing slot, fixing block, locking assembly, and fixing hook are configured. When you need to iron clothes hung on the steam seat, you release the locking assembly from the fixing block and pull the fixing block to slide it in the fixing slot, extending the fixing hook. The locking assembly then locks the fixing block and the fixing hook. The fixing hook can then be hung on the clothes hanger, making it easier to iron the clothes hung on the iron and improving the convenience of using the iron.

[0026] 2. By providing the auxiliary groove and finger groove, when the fixing block slides in the fixing groove, the fixing hook slides along with the fixing block and can slide into the auxiliary groove, so that the fixing hook will not interfere with the normal placement and use of the steam seat. At the same time, the finger groove makes it easier to pull the fixing hook to slide, improving the convenience of use.

[0027] 3. By arranging the first locking magnet, the second locking magnet, the stop block and the sliding groove, when the fixed hook completely enters the auxiliary groove, the first locking magnet and the second locking magnet are in contact and magnetically attracted to each other, locking the fixed hook in the auxiliary groove and locking the fixed block in the fixed groove at the same time, which is extremely convenient to operate. When the fixed block slides in the fixed groove, the stop block slides in the sliding groove at the same time, and the stop block abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove, which can reduce the possibility of the fixed block accidentally detaching from the fixed groove.
