Description

Hand-held ironing device using magnetic force}

The present invention relates to a handheld ironing device using magnetic force.

Ironing refers to applying high heat, appropriate moisture, and strong pressure to an object to be ironed to smooth out wrinkles or form necessary wrinkles in the object to be ironed. An iron used for ironing is used to straighten and straighten crumpled clothes such as bottoms and tops using heat and steam. In the case of a steam iron used for home or business use, compared to other types of electric irons, etc., it has the advantage of obtaining a sufficient ironing effect because it uses high-temperature steam.

However, in order to iron clothes quickly and straightly, the area of the bottom plate of the iron is relatively large, and as a heating plate and water container are provided to generate steam, it is bulky and heavy, making it difficult to move and carry long distances and difficult to handle. there is.

In order to solve this inconvenience, a miniaturized portable iron has recently been proposed for use on business trips or travel destinations, but it has been transformed from large irons used at home or for business, only slightly reduced in volume and weight, or reduced in weight. There is still a problem that it is bulky to carry around in a bag or bag.

As a prior art, Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2102124 'portable steam iron' is disclosed. The prior art largely consists of an iron handle and a heating pad made of a heat transfer blocking member that blocks heat transfer, and the heating pad includes a water jacket layer, a magnesium powder layer as a heating element, and a steam release layer, so that convenience and portability are supplemented. start the iron

However, most portable irons, including the prior art, use steam to remove wrinkles from clothes. The user is forced to hold the portable iron with one hand and use it while holding clothes with the other hand. The user needs to pull the garment taut with the other hand, or perform ironing while supporting it with the hand on the opposite side.

From the user's point of view, the portable iron must be used while holding the clothes, which causes inconvenience due to both hands being used. In addition, when the position of the iron and the position of the hand are close, there is a fatal problem in that steam generated from the iron is sprayed to the hand holding the clothes, causing burns.

Therefore, in recent years, demand for irons having not only compact and lightweight portability but also safety to protect the user's body has increased.

The ironing module 110 and the plate module 130 are functionally separated. The ironing module 110 includes an active component for applying heat or steam to remove wrinkles from the target clothing, and also includes a component for controlling them. Unlike this, the plate module 130 performs a function of supporting the target clothing. Basically, the plate module 130 is configured to depend on the ironing module 110 .

Referring to FIG. 1, the iron module 110 includes a water storage unit 114, a steam generator 116, a control unit 118, and a heating coil unit 119, and an iron head unit on the side facing the target clothing. (112) is provided.

The iron head unit 112 is a component that directly removes wrinkles of target clothing and is made of a metal plate material having a predetermined area. Depending on the designer's choice, the iron head 112 may be configured to have a predetermined curvature, but excessive curvature may conversely create wrinkles in the process of moving the iron head 112. It is desirable to form

In addition, the iron head 112 may have preset irregularities. This is to effectively flow the steam sprayed from the iron head unit 112 . Depending on the material of the target clothing, discharged steam may not pass through, and if the iron head 112 and the target clothing are in close contact, the steam generating unit 116 and the internal flow path may be overloaded. to be. It is preferable that the height or shape of the concavo-convex is formed such that the adhesion between the plate module 130 and the iron head 112 due to magnetic force is not impaired.

As described above, the iron head 112 needs to be made of a conductive material, but other parts of the ironing module 110 are preferably made of a non-conductive material. It is configured to be used while the user directly holds it by hand, so as to protect the user's body.

The ironing module 110 is configured to have a water storage unit 114 mounted thereon, and the water storage unit 114 is configured to be filled with water by a user. When water to generate steam is insufficient, an alarm lamp is turned on to visually notify the user of 'water shortage'.

The steam generator 116 is configured to generate steam using water stored in the water storage unit 114 . Any known means can be applied as long as it is configured to generate steam, and is communicated with the iron head part 112 to discharge steam toward the target clothes through the spray hole 112a formed in the iron head part 112. is configured to

The controller 118 controls the overall operation of the ironing module 110 . It is configured to control on/off of the ironing module 110, execution of the heating mode, execution of the steam mode, execution of the heating steam mode, and their strengths. This can be controlled by the user, and when it exceeds a preset limit temperature or limit value, the power is automatically cut off to safely protect the user. To this end, the control unit 118 is connected to the heating coil unit 119 and the steam generator 116 to transmit and receive operation signals.

The heating coil unit 119 is connected to the iron head unit 112 to transfer heat to the iron head unit 112 . Other than the heating coil, any method can be applied as long as it is a means capable of heating the iron head 112 .

As described above, the plate module 130 is located on the opposite side of the ironing module 110 based on the target clothing. The plate module 130 is attracted by the iron head 112 and magnetic force. That is, it is configured to be in close contact with the target clothing by the attraction of the magnetic force in a state where the target clothing is placed therebetween, and as the ironing module 110 moves, it is configured to move to a corresponding position in a closely attached state. do.

In this way, the handheld ironing device 100 according to the present invention does not require the user to directly support it with his or her hands on the opposite side of the target clothing, so it is possible to use protective gloves or effectively remove wrinkles from long items of clothing to out-of-reach areas. can be removed In addition, since the handheld iron device uses high temperature and steam, it has an effect of protecting the user's body from them.

2 is a use state diagram of a handheld ironing device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , it can be seen that as the ironing module 110 moves, the plate module 130 moves to a corresponding position in a closely attached state. Conventional handheld ironing devices compress only one side of the target garment, but the present invention compresses both sides of the target garment on a fixed ironing board, so the wrinkle removal effect can be significantly increased.

3 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a modified example of a plate module applied to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the plate module 130 according to the present invention includes an electromagnet unit 132, an internal power supply unit 134, and a magnetic force control unit 136. The plate module 130 may be composed of permanent magnets having magnetic force, but when composed of the electromagnet part 132, there is an effect of adjusting the adhesion of the target clothing.

Depending on the material of the target clothing, it is necessary to adjust the adhesion. For example, in the case of a material that is weak and easily damaged, such as silk, by lowering the adhesion, it is possible to prevent the target clothing from being damaged during the ironing process. On the other hand, thick wool used as a material for winter coats can effectively remove wrinkles by strengthening adhesion.

It is preferable that the shape or material of the core be manufactured so that the magnetic force is easily changed by adjusting electricity while maximizing the magnitude of the magnetic force.

The internal power unit 134 may be configured to be replaced by a user or may be configured to be directly charged.

The magnetic force control unit 136 is preferably configured to automatically set the appropriate magnetic force intensity when the material of the target clothing is selected.

In addition, the plate module 130 applied to the present invention includes a configuration for cleaning the inner surface of the target clothing. Specifically, an intake fan 138 and ventilation holes 139 are provided.

The intake fan 138 is configured to receive power from the internal power supply unit 134 and is configured to suck steam discharged from the iron head unit 112, and a ventilation hole 139 is formed on the side of the plate module 130. and supplies the steam flowing from the intake fan 138 to the inside of the target clothing, and is configured to control opening and closing.

That is, the steam discharged from the ironing head unit 112 is recycled and flows toward the inner surface of the target clothing. After flowing toward the plate module 130 through the intake fan 138, it is a structure in which the air is injected through a plurality of ventilation holes 139 formed in the thickness direction of the plate module 130.

4 is a schematic diagram schematically showing another modified example of a plate module applied to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the modified example is different from the aforementioned plate module 130 in that the plate module 130 moves along a rail formed on the base plate 140 .

The base plate 140 has a handle part 141 formed on one side, and a rail part 142 of a predetermined shape is formed on the side facing the target clothing. Although FIG. 4 shows the rail unit 142 in the form of a lattice, it is not limited thereto and may be configured in an optimal form according to a designer's choice.

The user can protect the user's body while holding and using the handle part 141 located at a relatively long distance from the ironing module 110 . When the user moves the ironing module 110 while holding the handle part 141, the plate module 130 coupled to the rail part 142 follows the rail part 142, and the ironing module 110 moved to match.

A predetermined latch (not shown) is formed in the lattice of the rail unit 142 to inform the user that the current position is a lattice, and the user can determine the moving direction of the ironing module 110 up, down, left and right at the lattice position. . This modification has an effect of preventing the plate module 130 from being separated from the target clothing and guiding stable movement.

In the present invention, the above embodiment is an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Anything that has substantially the same configuration and achieves the same operational effect as the technical idea described in the utility model claims of the present invention is included in the technical scope of the present invention.
