Hereinafter, a hand-held electric iron 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in connection with fig. 1-15, a hand-held electric iron 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise a housing 1, a soleplate assembly 2, a water tank assembly 3, and a water absorbing element 7 that absorbs water.
The soleplate assembly 2 is internally provided with the vaporizing chamber 21, a mounting cavity is defined between the soleplate assembly 2 and the housing 1, the water tank assembly 3 is arranged in the mounting cavity and is communicated with the vaporizing chamber 21 to supply water to the vaporizing chamber 21, specifically, the soleplate assembly 2 and the housing 1 can be formed into an outer shell of the hand-held electric iron 100, the lower end of the housing 1 is opened and matched with the soleplate assembly 2 to define the mounting cavity, the water tank assembly 3 is arranged on the soleplate assembly 2 and is positioned in the mounting cavity, the water tank assembly 3 is used for storing water and supplying water to the soleplate assembly 2, the water in the water tank assembly 3 can be introduced into the vaporizing chamber 21, the soleplate assembly 2 can heat the introduced water to fully vaporize the water, and the vaporized water vapor can flow out of the soleplate assembly 2. As shown in fig. 11, the soleplate assembly 2 may be provided with a steam outlet 22, the steam outlet 22 is communicated with the vaporizing chamber 21, and water vapor can flow out from the steam outlet 22.
The water tank assembly 3 may include a water tank 31 having a water inlet 311 and a water outlet 312, and a water storage chamber 313 in the water tank 31 communicating with the water inlet 311 and the water outlet 312, respectively, and a water pump 32 communicating with the water outlet 312 through a water inlet pipe 33 and with the vaporization chamber 21 through a water outlet 34.
In other words, the water tank 31 may be used to store water, and the water pump 32 may be used to power the water in the water tank 31 to the soleplate assembly 2, such that the water in the water tank 31 may be pumped towards the vaporizing chamber 21 by the suction of the water pump 32. Specifically, the user can add water from the water adding port 311 into the water storage cavity 313, the water is stored in the water storage cavity 313, the water in the water storage cavity 313 can flow out from the water outlet 312, the water pump 32 is respectively connected with the water inlet pipe 33 and the water outlet pipe 34, wherein the water inlet pipe 33 is communicated with the water pump 32 and the water outlet 312 of the water tank 31, and the water outlet 312 is communicated with the water pump 32 and the vaporizing chamber 21 of the bottom plate assembly 2, so that under the action of the water pump 32, the water in the water storage cavity 313 flows out through the water outlet 312, flows to the water pump 32 through the water inlet pipe 33 and flows to the vaporizing chamber 21 through the water outlet pipe 34.
The water absorbing member 7 is configured to absorb water to the water storage chamber 313 to supply water to the water pump 32. Specifically, the water absorbing member 7 has a water absorbing property, the water absorbing member 7 can be used for absorbing water in the water storage cavity 313, the water absorbing member 7 is arranged adjacent to the water outlet 312, when the water pump 32 works, the water absorbing member 7 can absorb and store water in the water storage cavity 313, and under the suction force of the water pump 132, the water in the water absorbing member 7 can flow to the water pump 32 through the water inlet pipe 33. In this way, the water absorbing member 7 can always supply water to the water pump 32 when the electric iron 100 is operated, so that the electric iron 100 can emit steam to iron laundry regardless of whether it is placed horizontally or vertically.
Specifically, when the hand-held electric iron 100 is normally used (i.e., when the hand-held electric iron 100 is horizontally placed), the water absorbing member 7 is at least partially immersed in water so as to absorb water and supply water to the water pump 32, when the hand-held electric iron 100 is vertically used, the water absorbing member 7 is immersed in water so as to always supply water to the water pump 32, and when the water absorbing member 7 is separated from the water, the stored water in the water absorbing member 7 can flow to the water pump, so that water vapor can be discharged from the hand-held electric iron 100 whether the hand-held electric iron 100 is horizontally hung or vertically hung, thereby enabling 360-degree water vapor discharge to be realized when the hand-held electric iron 100 is vertically used.
Therefore, according to the hand-held electric iron 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the water absorbing member 7, the water absorbing member 7 can absorb the water in the water storage cavity 313 to supply water to the water pump 32, so that the hand-held electric iron 100 can continuously discharge steam whether in a vertical garment or a horizontal garment, and the situation that the water in the water tank 31 cannot be sucked out due to the fact that the electric iron 100 is positioned at different positions or rotates for a certain angle can be avoided, and frequent water adding to the water tank 31 by a user is not required.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the water absorbing member 7 may be provided in the water storage chamber 313 and be capable of locking water to supply water to the water pump 32. Thus, when the water absorbing member 7 contacts with water, the water absorbing member 7 can absorb the water in the water storage cavity 313 to supply water to the water pump 32 to maintain the steam of the electric iron 100, when the water absorbing member 7 is separated from the water, the water absorbed by the water absorbing member 7 when contacting with the water can be stored in the water absorbing member 7, at this time, the water pump 32 can suck the water stored in the water absorbing member 7 for vaporization to generate the steam, and thus, the stored water in the water absorbing member 7 can maintain the steam of the electric iron 100. Further, since the electric iron 100 continuously swings during ironing, the water in the water tank 31 continuously rolls, so that the water absorbing member 7 is continuously stuck with water, thereby enabling the electric iron 100 to continuously discharge steam.
For example, when the electric iron 100 is horizontally placed and used, the water absorbing member 7 can absorb the water from the water tank 31 in the water storage cavity 313 to supply water to the water pump 32, as shown in fig. 12-15, when the electric iron 100 is vertically placed and used, the water absorbing member 7 is always in contact with the water when the electric iron 100 is rotated within a certain angle range, so that the water in the water storage cavity 313 can be absorbed to supply water to the water pump 32 to enable the electric iron 100 to generate steam, when the electric iron 100 is rotated beyond a certain range, the water absorbing member 7 is separated from the water, and the water absorbing member 7 has a water locking function, and at the moment, a certain amount of water can be stored in the water absorbing member 7 to supply water to the water pump 32, so that the electric iron 100 can discharge water steam, so that the steam can be maintained for a certain period of time, and since the electric iron 100 is continuously swung in the ironing process, the water in the water tank 31 continuously rolls, thereby the water absorbing member 7 can continuously absorb water and then store and supply water to the water pump 32, so that 360 degrees of continuous water discharge of the electric iron 100 on a vertical surface can be realized.
Alternatively, the water absorbing member 7 may be made of a water absorbing material, for example, the water absorbing member 7 may be made of a water absorbing sponge or a nonwoven fabric. The water in the water tank 31 can be absorbed by utilizing the water absorbing sponge or the non-woven fabric and can be locked in the sponge, the water pump 32 works to act on the water absorbing piece 7 by suction force, so that the water in the water absorbing sponge non-woven fabric can be absorbed out for supplying water to the vaporization chamber 21 of the bottom plate assembly 2, thereby not only realizing the 360-degree steam outlet of the hand-held electric iron 100, but also avoiding the noise generated by the collision between the water absorbing piece 7 and the sponge, and meanwhile, the sponge also has a certain noise reduction function, thereby further avoiding the electric iron 100 from emitting noise, and being low in sponge cost and also reducing the cost of the electric iron 100. It will of course be appreciated that the absorbent member 7 may be made of other absorbent materials, for example, the absorbent member 7 may be made of absorbent cotton or absorbent paper, as long as the absorbent material of the absorbent member 7 is capable of absorbing and supplying water to the water pump 32.
Further, the water absorbing sponge can be PU sponge, the PU sponge is good in hydrophilicity, the water absorbing function and the water locking function of the water absorbing piece 7 can be guaranteed, and the PU sponge has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance and flexibility, and the service life and the practicability of the water absorbing piece 7 can be guaranteed.
In some examples of the invention, the water tank assembly 3 may further include a transfer water pipe 4, the transfer water pipe 4 being disposed in the water storage chamber 313 and communicating with the water outlet 312, and the water absorbing member 7 being connected to the transfer water pipe 4. As shown in fig. 6 to 8, one end of the water transfer pipe 4 is connected to the water outlet 312 of the water tank 31, and the other end of the water transfer pipe 4 is connected to the water absorbing member 7. Thereby, on the one hand, the connection with the water absorbing member 7 is facilitated by the water transferring pipe 4, and on the other hand, the water in the water absorbing member 7 flows to the water outlet 312 by the water transferring pipe 4. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the water absorbing member 7 may be formed in a column shape, and one end of the water absorbing member 7 is embedded in the adapter water pipe 4 to supply water to the adapter water pipe 4. The water in the water absorbing member 7 can be directly absorbed to the adapting water pipe 4, thereby ensuring that the water absorbing member 7 can completely flow to the water inlet pipe 33 through the adapting water pipe 4. For example, the water absorbing member 7 may be formed in a cylindrical shape, or the water absorbing member 7 may be formed in a solid columnar shape having a triangular, quadrangular or polygonal cross section.
In the example shown in fig. 5 to 9, the water tank 31 may be provided with a switching water pipe fixing sleeve 41, and one end of the switching water pipe 4 is sleeved into the switching water pipe fixing sleeve 41, so that the fixed installation of the switching water pipe 4 is realized. Further, the upper portion of the adapting water pipe 4 may be provided with a water inlet pipe sleeve 314, and the water inlet pipe 33 is connected with the water tank 31 through the water inlet pipe sleeve 314.
In some examples of the present invention, the water tank 31 may be provided with a water absorption limiting portion 5, the water absorption limiting portion 5 is provided with a limiting groove 51, and the water absorption member 7 is at least partially clamped into the limiting groove 51. Thereby, the water absorbing member 7 can be restrained and fixed by the restraining groove 51, thereby preventing the water absorbing member 7 from being displaced due to the shaking of the water in the water tank 31.
Alternatively, the water absorbing limiting parts 5 may be plural and provided on the inner top wall of the water tank 31, the plural water absorbing limiting parts 5 being provided at intervals along the length direction of the water absorbing member 7, the limiting groove 51 of each water absorbing limiting part 5 being opened downward. Specifically, the water absorbing member 7 is supported on the inner bottom surface of the water tank 31, and the limiting grooves 51 of the plurality of water absorbing limiting parts 5 are clamped on the upper portion of the water absorbing member 7, so that the water absorbing member 7 can be supported and fixed through the water absorbing limiting parts 5 and the inner bottom surface of the water tank 31, the water absorbing member 7 is prevented from being shifted, and the water absorbing limiting parts 5 are multiple and can limit a plurality of positions of the water absorbing member 7 in the length direction, so that the fixing effect of the water absorbing member 7 is further improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the orthographic projection of the water tank 31 on the horizontal plane gradually increases in the width dimension of the water tank 31 in the left-to-right direction, the water absorbing member 7 is provided on the side of the water tank 31 where the width is larger, and the water absorbing member 7 extends in the width direction of the water tank 31. Thereby, on the one hand, the mounting of the water absorbing member 7 in the water tank 31 is facilitated, and on the other hand, the length of the water absorbing member 7 can be increased, so that the water absorbing member 7 can absorb enough water to supply water to the water pump 32, and during the rotation of the electric iron 100, the water absorbing member 7 can be absorbed in contact with water as much as possible to ensure that the electric iron 100 can generate steam. In the present invention, the vertical direction refers to the direction indicated in the drawings, wherein the vertical direction is the vertical direction when the electric iron 100 is horizontally placed in a normal use state.
Alternatively, one end of the water absorbing member 7 communicates with the water outlet 312, and the other end of the water absorbing member 7 may extend to the inner wall surface of the other side of the water tank 31 in the width direction away from the water outlet 312. Thereby, the extension length of the water absorbing member 7 and the water absorbing capacity of the water absorbing member 7 can be ensured as much as possible. In the example shown in fig. 6, 7 and 13, the water outlet 312 is provided at one end of the water tank 31 in the width direction, one end of the water absorbing member 7 is connected to the water outlet 312, and the other end of the water absorbing member 7 is stopped against the inner wall surface of the other end of the water tank 31 in the width direction, so that during the rotation of the electric iron 100, water is always located at the lowest position of the water tank 31 due to the action of gravity, and the water absorbing member 7 extends from one end to the other end of the water tank 31 in the width direction, whereby the water absorbing member 7 can be brought into contact with water to absorb water as much as possible. Alternatively, the water absorbing member 7 may be provided obliquely, for example, the water absorbing member 7 may be provided obliquely with respect to the width direction of the water tank 31.

By the operation of the water pump 32, suction force is applied to the water absorbing sponge, water in the water tank 31 is sucked out by utilizing the water absorbing property of the water absorbing sponge, and then passes through the water inlet pipe 33, the water passes through the water pump 32 and then passes through the water outlet pipe 34, and finally enters the vaporizing chamber 21 of the bottom plate assembly 2, and the bottom plate assembly 2 can heat the water entering the vaporizing chamber 21 so as to fully vaporize the water, and finally becomes steam to come out from the steam outlet hole 22 of the bottom plate assembly 2. It will be appreciated that the water pump 32 will suck water out and the hand-held iron 100 will be able to steam out no matter what angle the hand-held iron 100 is used to iron. Thereby enabling the hand-held electric iron 100 to achieve 360 deg. steam delivery, whether it is horizontal ironing or vertical garment ironing.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 12-15, when the electric iron 100 is horizontally ironing, the water-absorbing sponge is soaked in water conservancy, so that steam can be discharged at 360 degrees; when the electric iron 100 is used for ironing vertically, if the water tank 31 is located at 180 degrees, the situation that the water absorbing sea surface is not immersed in water can occur, the water absorbing sponge has a water locking function, and a certain amount of water can be stored in the water absorbing sponge, so that even if the water absorbing sponge is not immersed in water, the water pump 32 still can absorb the amount of water stored in the water absorbing sponge to supply the soleplate assembly 2, steam can be maintained for a period of time, and the water in the water tank assembly 3 can roll continuously due to continuous swinging of the machine body in the ironing process, so that the water absorbing sponge can be stuck with water continuously, and finally the garment iron 100 can continuously emit steam at 360 degrees.
Therefore, according to the handheld electric iron 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention, 360-degree continuous water outlet can be ensured no matter in vertical garment steamer or horizontal garment steamer, noise emission can be avoided, and the handheld electric iron is simple in structure and low in cost.
