When equipment starts, case 102 is heated, and the water that case includes is heated to boiling, the pressure generated by case 102
Under steam pass through conduit 101 towards flatiron 1 transmit.When steam is transmitted across conduit 101, the temperature of steam reduces, and makes
It obtains and forms condensate liquid in the steam stream in reaching flatiron 1.
Steam stream in the vaporization chamber 43 by when, larger condensate liquid is eliminated.In fact, steam passes through first
And second conduit 43A, 43B flowing allow to detach vapor with condensate liquid, the suddenly change in steam stream direction is in the second conduit
The inlet of 43B is established, and allows to detach steam stream with condensate liquid and the condensate liquid is maintained in central space.This
Outside, it establishes and the speed for allowing to reduce steam stream is increased by the unexpected of section at the central space of vaporization chamber 43, and lead to
It crosses gravity to collect condensate liquid in the bottom of central space, the condensate liquid is transmitted in the form of dripping greatly or with liquid film
Form be transmitted, the liquid film is driven to by the flowing of steam on the wall of vaporization chamber 43.
These condensate liquids are gradually evaporated the evaporation of room 43, and the energy for evaporation condensate consumption has the advantage that
Contribute to the reduction of the temperature of vaporization chamber 43, and therefore avoids evaporating when the preset temperature for heating bottom plate 3 is more than 200 DEG C
It is excessively heated by the hot-fluid that heating bottom plate 3 generates room 43.On the contrary, when the first thermostat preset temperature it is relatively low, close to 100 DEG C
When, the presence of second resistance 41 and second resistance 41 are allowed to keep the temperature of vaporization chamber 43 by the adjusting of the second thermostat 60
In the temperature close to 105 DEG C, this allows gradually to evaporate the condensate liquid collected in central space.
This construction of the vaporization chamber 43 allows to obtain the only steam with small water droplet in the exit of vaporization chamber 43,
The steam is by channel 46 to be transmitted in the diffuser casing 7 of the top for the preceding part for being arranged in the cover 2.
Thermal region of the diffuser casing 7 far from the cover 2, steam in diffuser casing 7 are diffused through the with higher levels of humidity
One group 21 of steam outlet ports 20, that is to say, that the small water droplet being carried is applied on the fabric pressed.
Therefore, by coming from the steam of the steam outlet ports 20 in the preceding part for being arranged in cover 2, the good of clothing is obtained
Humidification.
In particular, this construction allows the B points in the cold-zone domain positioned at the ironing surface and the heat positioned at ironing surface
Big thermal gradient is established between A points in region, this is because geometry allows center and cover 2 that hot-fluid is limited in cover 2
Front point between, the center of the cover 2 is directly heated by heating bottom plate 3.In fact, when the A points of cover 2 have 180 DEG C of temperature
When spending, the opening 30 being arranged in heating bottom plate 3 allows maximum heat stream being limited in 18W or so, and the maximum hot-fluid can lead to
Cross the periphery edge for being conducted through the heating bottom plate 3 for laterally surrounding opening 30.
Therefore, the temperature of bottom plate 3 is heated, and therefore the temperature of the rear part of ironing surface can be adjusted to more than 240 DEG C
Preset temperature near, and the temperature being maintained at simultaneously in the preceding part of ironing surface, and especially near B points, by temperature
100 DEG C or so are maintained at, the temperature of ironing surface can according to circumstances reach about 130 DEG C of maximum temperature on neighboring area,
On the neighboring area, cover 2 is contacted with the periphery edge of the heating bottom plate 3 around opening 30.
The steam with high humility discharged by first group 21 of steam outlet ports 20 can be therefore fast in the thickness of clothing
It condenses fastly, this allows to obtain preferably flatiron performance, and the low temperature that the condensation in clothing is ironed surface promotes, described low
Temperature is about 100 DEG C, near first group 21 of steam outlet ports 20, avoids the excessive heating of clothing.
Since the temperature of the heat distribution and the steam spread is close to condensation temperature, to needing higher ironing temperature
