[0002] Steam iron is a commonly used domestic small electric appliance, when using, need to add tap water to the water tank of steam iron, and convert tap water into high temperature steam through vaporization chamber, to soften the fiber organization of cloth with high temperature steam, so that clothes achieve the effect of flat and soft.

[0003] The outlet of the water tank of the traditional steam iron often does not set the flow distribution mechanism, so the water in the water tank can only be concentrated from the water outlet to the vaporization chamber, which will cause uneven distribution of water in the vaporization chamber. The position close to the water outlet has more water, while the position far from the water outlet has less water. During the ironing process, if the water is too much, it is not easy to vaporize, and the position will have the phenomenon of steam dripping water. If the water is too little, it will cause the temperature of the position to be too high, and there is a risk of burning the fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The specific embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to fully understand the present application, many details are described below, but the present application can be implemented without these details for those skilled in the art.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a steam iron with a flow guide structure includes a shell (not shown in the figure) and a bottom plate 1, the shell is provided with a water tank, and the bottom plate 1 is provided with a steam chamber communicating with the water tank; further comprising a flow guide 2 arranged in the steam chamber, the flow guide 2 is provided with a water collecting groove 21, the water collecting groove 21 communicates with the water tank, and the water collecting groove 21 is provided with a plurality of shunts arranged at intervals, each shunt uniformly distributes the water in the water collecting groove 21 to different areas of the bottom plate 1. The water in the water tank can be uniformly distributed to different areas on the bottom plate 1 through the flow guide 2, so that the water distribution on the bottom plate 1 is balanced, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of steam dripping or local high temperature caused by uneven water distribution on the bottom plate 1, which helps to maintain the balance of the bottom plate 1 and improve the service life and safety of the steam iron.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the shunt includes a first shunt 22, a second shunt 23 and a third shunt 24, a plurality of first shunts 22 are arranged on the left and right sides of the water collecting groove 21, and the second shunt 23 and the third shunt 24 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the water collecting groove 21. Since the water collecting groove 21 is arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate 1, the first shunt 22, the second shunt 23 and the third shunt 24 arranged around the water collecting groove 21 can ensure uniform coverage of different areas of the bottom plate 1, so that the water distribution on the bottom plate 1 is balanced.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the flow guide 2 further includes two partition ribs 25 arranged outside the water collecting groove 21, the partition ribs 25 divide the steam chamber into a first steam chamber 11 and a second steam chamber 12. In this embodiment, since the area of the first steam chamber 11 is larger than that of the second steam chamber 12, the first shunt 22 and the second shunt 23 are both located in the first steam chamber 11, and the third shunt 24 is located in the second steam chamber 12, thereby adapting the area of the steam chamber to the water distribution, so as to fully utilize the heat of the bottom plate 1 to heat the water.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the steam iron further comprises a lower water shunt 3 communicating between the water tank and the water collecting groove 21, the lower water shunt 3 having a water collecting cavity 31 in the middle, the upper end of the lower water shunt 3 being provided with a water inlet communicating with the water tank, and the lower end of the lower water shunt 3 being provided with a water outlet hole communicating with the water collecting groove 21. The lower water shunt 3 can serve to communicate the water tank and the water collecting groove 21, so that the water in the water tank flows accurately into the water collecting groove 21. In actual application, the lower water shunt 3 can be directly arranged at the water outlet hole of the water tank, or can be connected to the water outlet hole of the water tank through a connecting pipe or an electromagnetic pump and the like, and the specific installation mode can be reasonably designed according to the internal structure of the steam iron, which is not limited herein.

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the present embodiment is provided with a partition plate 211 in the water collecting groove 21, which divides the water collecting groove 21 into first and second water collecting grooves 212 and 213 independent of each other. The lower end of the lower water shunt 3 is provided with two water outlet holes, i.e. a first water outlet hole 32 and a second water outlet hole 33, the first water outlet hole 32 communicating with the first water collecting groove 212, and the second water outlet hole 33 communicating with the second water collecting groove 213 through a flow guide pipe 34. As a preferred solution, the first and third shunt ports 22 and 24 are arranged in the first water collecting groove 212, and the second shunt port 23 is arranged in the second water collecting groove 213. The first and second water outlet holes 32 and 33 of the lower water shunt 3 can divide one water flow from the water tank into two water flows, thereby serving as a preliminary shunt, so as to further uniformly guide the two water flows to the specified area of the sole plate 1 in cooperation with the respective shunt ports of the first and second water collecting grooves 212 and 213, thereby improving the shunt effect and efficiency.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, as a preferred solution, the lower water shunt 3 is made of silica gel, and the flow guide pipe 34 is made of aluminum pipe resistant to high temperature, and the flow guide pipe 34 is designed as a bent L-shaped structure.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, in order to guide part of the water to the specified area of the sole plate 1 in a set direction, the present embodiment is provided with flow guide walls 221 on both sides of the first shunt port 22, and a blocking wall 222 is arranged at the first shunt port 22 of the water collecting groove 21. At the same time, in order to facilitate smooth water flow, the present embodiment is provided with a first water drainage inclined platform 223 inclined along the water flow direction at the first shunt port 22, and a second water drainage inclined platform 214 inclined along the water flow direction at the bottom of the water collecting groove 21. Since the water flow directions of the first and second water collecting grooves 212 and 213 are opposite, the inclination directions of the second water drainage inclined platforms 214 in the first and second water collecting grooves 212 and 213 are also opposite.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in actual application, the flow director 2 can be fixed on the bottom plate 1, or can be designed as an independent part and detachably arranged on the bottom plate 1, which is not limited here.

[0033] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the design concept of the present application is not limited thereto, and any non-substantial change to the present application using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present application.
