Abstract

The present invention relates to a hat iron having sterilizing and drying functions. A hat iron having sterilizing and drying functions according to the present invention comprises: a body having a base plate formed on the upper side thereof; multiple hat molds separately formed such that same can expand and contract, and mounted on the upper portion of the base plate to be able to make sliding movements when expanding and contracting; multiple springs disposed between the multiple hat molds so as to expand and contract the multiple hat molds in horizontal directions; a water barrel embedded in the body; a steam-generating module embedded in the body so as to heat water supplied from the water barrel such that steam is supplied to multiple steam holes arranged on surfaces of the hat molds; a fan embedded in the body; a heater embedded in the body so as to heat air supplied from the fan such that high-temperature dry air is generated; an air exit for discharging air supplied to the fan or high-temperature dry air supplied from the heater towards the hat molds; and a controller for controlling overall operations of the hat iron with regard to respective modes.
