Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cordless iron in which the power cord does not lead out from the iron body.

Conventional Structures and Problems As is well known, in recent years most irons are electric irons that have a built-in heating element and are powered by a power cord led out from the iron body. However, with this type of electric iron, the power cord leads out from the iron itself, so the power cord gets in the way when ironing, and the operating range of the iron is limited by the length of the power cord. It has the disadvantage of Therefore, recently (the d1 iron body does not lead out the power cord and has only a power supply terminal that conducts with the heating element, and when the iron body is placed on it, we have developed a mounting stand that has a power supply terminal that connects to the power supply terminal of the iron body. A separate iron has been developed in which the iron body is separated from the stand during ironing operations.In such an iron-in, the connection between the power supply terminal and the power supply terminal is ensured, and the iron can be used for a long period of time. In order to prevent poor contact when using the iron, it is necessary to increase the contact pressure between both the power supply and power supply terminals. However, if the contact pressure at the connection part is too high, the iron body will not be able to stand on the table. It becomes unstable, and if the iron body is attracted with a magnet or the like to eliminate this problem, a large force is required to separate the iron body from the mounting table, resulting in a decrease in operability and the problem of unwielding.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and provides a reliable connection between the power supply terminal and the power supply terminal, and also allows easy separation of the iron body from the mounting table without requiring a particularly large force. This provides a cordless iron with excellent performance.

Structure of the Invention To achieve this object, the cordless iron of the present invention includes a permanent magnet in an iron body having a power supply terminal, and a shorting body that is moved by an external operation to short-circuit both of the permanent magnets, and the iron body has a power supply terminal. The mounting table has an adsorbent made of a magnetic material.

With this configuration, when the iron body is placed on the mounting stand,
The permanent magnet and the attracting body magnetically attract the iron body, and the iron body is fixed to the mounting table, and the power supply terminal and the power supply terminal are securely connected. In addition, when separating the iron body from the mounting table, the shorting body is moved by external operation to form a magnetic circuit that shorts both magnetic poles of the permanent magnet, reducing the magnetic force acting on the permanent magnet and the adsorption plate. It can be separated.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An example of an actual gun of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The figure is a cross-sectional view of essential parts of a cordless iron according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an iron main body, and 2 is a mounting table on which the iron main body 1 is placed. A heating element 4 is embedded in the base 3 of the iron body 1. A handle part 5 is fixed to the base 3, and a notch part 6 is formed in the ground surface of the handle part 5. A plate-shaped actuating member 7 is attached at one end to this notch part 6 via a mounting shaft 8. It is rotatably attached to the handle part 5.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an operating shaft, which is provided to be movable up and down relative to the handle portion 5;
An operating tin ring 11 is engaged with the large-diameter portion 10 at the center, and is biased upward against the handle portion 5. The upper end of the actuating member 9 contacts the inner surface of the actuating member 7, and a shorting member 12 made of a magnetic material such as iron is fixed to the lower end thereof. A pair of power supply terminals 13 are attached to the rear bottom part of the handle part 5 with one end protruding toward the part, and the power supply line 1
It communicates with the heating element 4 via 4. Additionally, a permanent magnet 15 and a pair of magnetic pole plates 16 made of a magnetic material are fixed between the two power supply terminals 13 at the bottom of the handle 5.
6 is partially exposed to the outside.

The pair of magnetic pole plates 16 are located at a position where the upper end of the magnetic pole plate 16 and the shunt body 12 come into contact when the short circuit body 12 moves downward.

The mounting table 2 is configured such that the mounting surface 17 is angled so that the iron main body 1 appears like a scraper when the iron main body 1 is mounted. A positioning rib 18 is provided for abutting and positioning the iron body 1. Furthermore, a pair of power supply holes 19 are bored at the rear of the mounting surface 17 in correspondence with the power supply terminals 13 .

A support plate 2o is provided below the power supply hole 19, and a pair of power supply terminals 21 are attached to the support plate 20 so as to be movable up and down and urged in the -F direction by a spring 22. The power terminal 21 is electrically connected to the power cord 24 via the power line 23. The power cord 24 is introduced from the front end surface of the mounting table 2, and wound around a cord reel 25 provided in a space 26 at the bottom of the mounting surface 17, which has been formed by making the mounting surface 17 more square than horizontal. It is about to be taken. i
An adsorbent 27 made of a magnetic material is fixed to the LC mounting surface 17 in correspondence with the magnetic pole plate 16 .

The operation of the cordless iron constructed as described above will be explained below.

Plug the power cord 24 into the power outlet, and position the iron body 1 so that its base rear part 3' is positioned 18.
When placed on the mounting table 2 as shown in , the magnetic pole plate 16 is attracted to the attracting body 26 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 15, the power supply terminal 13 is fully inserted into the power supply hole 19, and the power supply terminal 21 is pulled by the elastic force of the spring 22. The iron main body 1 is fixed to the mounting table 2 while being pressed against it. Therefore, at this time, the power supply terminal 13 and the power supply terminal 21 are completely connected, power is started to be supplied to the heating element 4, and the base 3 begins to heat up. At this time, the actuator 1Flb 9 is pushed upward by the actuator spring 11, so the shorting body 12 is not in contact with the magnetic pole plate 16.

Now, when the base 3 rises to a predetermined temperature and ironing is performed, when the user grasps the handle 5, the operating member 7 is pushed in the direction of arrow a and rotates slightly around the mounting shaft 8. In order to
is pushed down as shown by the arrow, and the short-circuit body 1 at the lower end
2 contacts the upper ends of the pair of magnetic pole plates 16. Magnetic pole plate 16
When the short-circuiting body 12 comes into contact with the magnetic poles and the magnetic poles are short-circuited, the magnetic pole plate 16 does not lose the magnetic force that attracts the attraction plate 26. The operator can easily separate the iron main body 1 from the mounting table 2.

However, since the mounting surface 1Y has an angle at the front end,
When the iron main body 1 is placed on the mounting table 2, the clap part 5 becomes easy to grip, work efficiency is improved, and the bottom area of the mounting table 2 is reduced, so that the work space is increased accordingly.

Next, once the ironing is finished, return to the iron body 1.
When placed on the mounting table 2, the same operation as above will be repeated.

When ironing is completely finished, the power cord 24 can be wound onto the cord reel 25, so that the power cord 24 does not become bulky when stored. Moreover, since the cord reel 25 is housed in a space 26 at the lower end of the mounting surface 17, the provision of the cord reel 25 increases the overall size of the mounting table 2 when stored. Not only will this not occur, but the provision of the cord reel 25 increases the amount of the mounting table 2, which provides the advantage that the mounting table 2 is stabilized and workability is improved.

In this embodiment, the actuating fli1+ 9 is moved up and down by the rotational movement of the actuating member 7.
The point is that the operating shaft 9 may be moved up and down by an external operation. For example, the operating shaft 9 may be moved up and down by pressing several push buttons at the upper end of the operating shaft 9.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the cordless iron of the present invention includes a permanent magnet in the iron body having a power supply terminal, a shorting body that is moved by an external operation and short-circuits both magnetic poles of the permanent magnet, and a mounting base having a power supply terminal. By providing an adsorbent made of magnetic material, the iron body is fixed to the mounting table when placed on the table, and the power supply terminal and power supply terminal are securely connected, preventing contact failures due to long-term use. can be easily separated from the mounting table without requiring any particular great force. In addition, as in the example, by tilting the angle of the mounting surface of the mounting table and installing a cord reel in the space below, the space occupied by the mounting table can be fully utilized, improving ironing work efficiency. This makes it easier to store the iron. As described above, the present invention has achieved a cordless iron that is excellent in reliability, operability, and storage, and has great practical effects.
