Specifically, when the second power supply circuit 1312 supplies power to the heating element 1112, the heating element 1112 can generate heat, the heat of the heating element 1112 is conducted to the ironing base plate 111, and the temperature of the ironing base plate 111 is increased, so that a high-temperature ironing surface can be formed, and clothes ironing operation can be performed by using the ironing surface. The heater 1112 may be a heating tube, a positive temperature coefficient (Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC) semiconductor heater, a ceramic heater, or other heating element commonly used by those skilled in the art.

In order to control the operation state of the heating element 1112, a temperature controller 1313 is further provided in the second power supply circuit 1312. The temperature controller 1313 and the heating body 1112 are both connected in series with the main circuit board 135, and when the temperature of the ironing base plate 111 or the external environment can be detected by the detection end of the temperature controller 1313 and is disconnected when the temperature reaches the preset temperature threshold value, the heating body 1112 and the ironing base plate 111 are maintained at the preset temperature, and the danger caused by overheat of the temperature is avoided.

In addition, a fuse 1314 may be disposed in the second power supply circuit 1312, and when the current in the second power supply circuit 1312 is too large, the fuse 1314 may be fused, so as to avoid potential safety hazard caused by too high heat generated by the heating element.

In this embodiment, the ironing device includes a base assembly, a steam generating assembly and a power supply assembly, the base assembly includes an ironing base plate, the steam generating assembly and the power supply assembly are both disposed on the base assembly, the steam generating assembly includes a water supply unit, the water supply unit includes a water storage member and a water pump, the water pump is configured to supply water in the water storage member to the ironing base plate to generate steam; the power supply assembly comprises a power supply loop and a switch unit, wherein the power supply loop is configured to supply power to the water pump, and the switch unit is configured to be triggered by the charging base to disconnect the power supply loop when the ironing device is connected to the charging base so as to stop the water pump. When the ironing device is charged, the steam spraying can be automatically stopped, so that the service time of the ironing device in a wireless state is prolonged, and meanwhile, the damage of the steam to a circuit of the ironing device in the charging and discharging process is avoided.

The present application also provides an ironing system 300, in particular comprising a charging base 200 and the ironing device 100 of the above-described embodiments. The charging base 200 is used for accommodating the ironing device 100 and performing operations such as charging and supplying power to the ironing device 100. The specific structure, function and working principle of the ironing device 100 are described in the foregoing embodiments, and are not repeated here.

Specifically, the ironing device 100 may have a wireless use function, so that the charging base 200 is required to provide charging and the like. When the charging base 200 charges the ironing device 100, the ironing base 111 and other parts of the ironing device 100 can continuously generate heat by the electric energy provided by the charging base 200, and the ironing surface can maintain a higher temperature, so that the ironing device 100 can perform ironing operation after leaving the charging base 200.

Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a charging base according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1 to 8, optionally, the charging base 200 includes a base body 210, a power supply interface 220, and a triggering piece 230, both of which are provided on the base body 210, the triggering piece 230 being configured to trigger the switching unit 132 of the ironing device 100 when the ironing device 100 is connected to the charging base 200. In this way, when the ironing device 100 is disposed on the base body 210 and is connected to the power supply interface 220 on the base body 210 to obtain power, the switch unit 132 of the ironing device 100 will touch the trigger 230 and disconnect the power supply circuit 131 in the ironing device 100, so that the water pump 1212 in the ironing device 100 will stop working, and the ironing device 100 connected to the charging base 200 will not spray steam any more, thereby prolonging the wireless service time of the ironing device 100 and avoiding damaging the circuit when the charging base supplies power to the ironing device.

In some embodiments, the power supply interface 220 in the charging base 200 comprises a second coupler 221, the second coupler 221 and the first coupler 133 in the ironing device 100 being interconnected to supply power to the ironing device 100; the trigger 230 is disposed on the second coupler 221.

Specifically, the form of the second coupler 221 and the first coupler 133 are matched with each other. For example, when the first coupler 133 is in the form of a male coupler such as a plug, the second coupler 221 may be in the form of a female coupler such as a socket. When the ironing device 100 is arranged on the charging base 200, the second coupler 221 can be coupled and connected with the first coupler 133 in a matching way, so that the power supply interface 220 of the charging base 200 can supply power, charge power and the like to the ironing device 100.

In some of these alternative coupler structures, the second coupler 221 has a mating hole 222, and the trigger 230 is located within the mating hole 222. When the first coupler 133 and the second coupler 221 are plugged and coupled with each other, the plugging hole 222 may be opposite to and plugged with a corresponding structure on the first coupler 133, for example, an outer wall of the accommodating cavity 1331, and the trigger piece 230 may extend into the accommodating cavity 1331 from the avoiding hole 1332 of the accommodating cavity 1331, and the switch unit 132 disposed in the accommodating cavity 1331 may be triggered by the trigger piece 230 in the plugging hole 222.

The triggering element 230 located on the second coupler 221 may have a variety of different configurations. As an alternative trigger structure, the trigger 230 may be a ram or protrusion. For example, when the trigger 230 is a push rod or a protrusion, the length direction of the push rod and the protrusion may be along the axial direction of the insertion hole 222, so that the top end of the trigger 230 has a relatively short distance from the first coupler 133, so that the trigger 230 is in contact with the switch unit 132; at the same time, the trigger 230 is smaller in size in the other direction and thus has a more compact structure with less interference and impact on other components of the second coupler 221.

When the trigger member 230 is a push rod or a protrusion, the shape and arrangement of the trigger member 230 may be similar to the pin structure on the second coupler 221, so as to facilitate the mutual insertion and extraction of the first coupler 133 and the second coupler 221.

In addition, in order to facilitate connection of the ironing device 100 and the power supply interface 220 on the charging base 200, optionally, the base body 210 has a receiving groove 211, the power supply interface 220 is disposed in the receiving groove 211, and at least part of the structure of the ironing device 100 is disposed in the receiving groove when the ironing device 100 is connected to the charging base 200. Thus, when the ironing device 100 is placed in the accommodating groove 211, the ironing device 100 can be connected with the power supply interface 220 and electrified, so that the charging operation is simple, convenient and feasible.

Wherein the shape of the receiving groove 211 may be matched with the shape profile of the ironing device 100, so as to facilitate the positioning of the ironing device 100.

In some embodiments, the groove depth of the end of the receiving groove 211 remote from the power supply interface 220 may also be smaller than the groove depth of the end toward the power supply interface 220. Specifically, the end of the accommodating groove 211 away from the power supply interface 220 may be a first end 211a, and the end facing the power supply interface 220 may be a second end 211b. At this time, the bottom of the accommodating groove 211 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. When the ironing device 100 is placed in the accommodating groove 211, the ironing device 100 can naturally slide to the position corresponding to the power supply interface 220 by means of the gravity of the ironing device 100, so that the charging operation of the ironing device 100 is simpler and more convenient and the reliability is higher.

In this embodiment, the ironing system comprises a charging base and an ironing device. The ironing device specifically comprises a base component, a steam generation component and a power supply component, wherein the base component comprises an ironing bottom plate, the steam generation component and the power supply component are both arranged on the base component, the steam generation component comprises a water supply unit and a steam cavity, the water supply unit comprises a water storage piece and a water pump, and the water pump is configured to supply water in the water storage piece to the steam cavity so as to generate steam; the power supply assembly comprises a power supply loop and a switch unit, wherein the power supply loop is configured to supply power to the water pump, and the switch unit is configured to be triggered by the charging base to disconnect the power supply loop when the ironing device is connected to the charging base so as to stop the water pump. When the ironing device is charged, the steam spraying can be automatically stopped, so that the service time of the ironing device in a wireless state is prolonged, and meanwhile, the damage of the steam to a circuit of the ironing device in the charging and discharging process is avoided.

Finally, the technical scheme described in the above embodiments is modified or some or all technical features in the technical scheme are replaced equivalently; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
