As Fig. 3, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and shown in Figure 8, after steam iron 200 energisings, first heating element heater 23 and second heating element heater 24 be heatable soleplate 21 and heater 22 respectively, because the heating power that second heating element heater 24 sets is higher than the heating power that first heating element heater 23 sets, therefore when the temperature gear of adjusting base plate 21 as the user makes base plate 21 be heated to one first preset temperature, heater 22 its temperature in the identical time can be heated to a low temperature shelves temperature, in the present embodiment, first preset temperature, 107 degree Celsius approximately, and low temperature shelves temperature 140 degree Celsius approximately.After temperature sensor 62 induction base plates 21 temperature arrive first preset temperature, promptly transmit an electronic signal to control circuit board 63 (Fig. 2), display floater 71 (Fig. 2) on the handgrip 7 can show the state that can use steam function, and the user can order about control circuit board 63 control electromagnetic valves 61 and moves under first operator scheme by pushing steam button 72 (Fig. 2).

When first operator scheme, the electromagnet 612 of electromagnetic valve 61 can move on the first magnetic cylinder 613, spring 614 is compressive state because of the compression of resistive portion 621, at this moment, the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 moves to an enable possition (Fig. 8) that runner I is circulated by the blocking position (Fig. 6) of blocking-up runner I, make the water in the water space 53 to flow to simultaneously in the gathering ground 313, and conflux to the vapor space 221 of heater 22 by guide hole 33 by two runner I.The resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 maintained the enable possition after 1.5 seconds, and electromagnet 612 is magnetic cylinder 613 no longer, and resistive portion 621 makes the water in the water space 53 can't flow to the vapor space 221 because of the reseting elasticity of spring 614 is returned to blocking position at this moment.Then, the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 maintained blocking position after 2 seconds, and electromagnet 612 moves on the magnetic cylinder 613 once again, made resistive portion 621 move to the enable possition once more.Afterwards, the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 can continue to move back and forth between enable possition and blocking position, that is to say that resistive portion 621 can move to blocking position in the enable possition after 1.5 seconds, can be returned to the enable possition again after 2 seconds, order reciprocating motion according to this at blocking position.It should be noted that electromagnetic valve 61 is when first operator scheme, the time that the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 maintains enable possition and blocking position does not exceed so that present embodiment is disclosed, visual demand and adjusting.

Because base plate 21 temperature are when Celsius 107 spend, the temperature of heater 22 is the high temperature at 140 degree Celsius, when therefore water confluxes to the vapor space 221 of heater 22 by guide hole 33, can be vaporized into the steam of saturation state, after steam in the vapor space 221 is circulated to the steam channel 212 of base plate 21 by steam through hole 223 (Fig. 4), can discharge outside the base plate 21 with ironing clothes by steam fumarole 211.Even base plate 21 is carrying out low temperature when flatiron, the vapor space 221 also can provide the steam of saturation state, and can be because water vapor not exclusively and the ironed clothing of getting wet.It should be noted that, because water can cool off the temperature of heater 22 when entering in the vapor space 221, therefore in the present embodiment, when the temperature of heater 22 drops to Celsius approximately 125 when spending, second heating element heater 24 can be heated to heater 22 140 degree Celsius again and just stop heating, can be vaporized into the steam of saturation state fully to guarantee the water in the vapor space 221.

As Fig. 3, Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 8, adjust the temperature gear of base plate 21 as the user, when making base plate 21 temperature be heated to one second preset temperature, heater 22 temperature can be heated to a high temperature shelves temperature, second preset temperature Celsius approximately 145 is spent in the present embodiment, and high temperature shelves temperature is 175 degree, after temperature sensor 62 induction base plates 21 temperature arrive second preset temperature, can transmit an electronic signal equally to control circuit board 63 (Fig. 2), display floater 71 (Fig. 2) on the handgrip 7 can show the state that can use a large amount of steam functions, and the user can order about control circuit board 63 control electromagnetic valves 61 and moves under second operator scheme by pushing steam button 72 (Fig. 2).

When second operator scheme, the electromagnet 612 of electromagnetic valve 61 can move on the magnetic cylinder 613, the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 moves to the enable possition (Fig. 8) that makes runner I circulation by the blocking position (Fig. 6) of blocking-up runner I, and resistive portion 621 can continue to remain on the enable possition, make the water in the water space 53 flow to simultaneously in the gathering ground 313 by two runner I sustainably, and conflux to the vapor space 221 of heater 22 by guide hole 33, whereby, flow to the water yield in the vapor space 221 with increase.In the present embodiment, suppose in identical operations under the time, electromagnetic valve 61 is when first operator scheme, the water yield that water in the water space 53 can flow in the vapor space 221 is about 7CC, and electromagnetic valve 61 is when second operator scheme, the water yield that water in the water space 53 can flow in the vapor space 221 is about 15CC, its water yield is about electromagnetic valve 61 one times of the water yield when first operator scheme, certainly, electromagnetic valve 61 is first, inflow during second operator scheme what with disclosed not exceeding in the present embodiment, visual actual demand adjusts, and it is more than the inflow when first operator scheme that prerequisite is that the inflow of electromagnetic valve 61 when second operator scheme needs.

Because when base plate 21 is heated to second preset temperature, heater 22 temperature can be along with being heated to high temperature shelves temperature, heater 22 temperature than the high situation of base plate 21 temperature under, even the water yield that flow in the vapor space 221 by runner I increases, can be vaporized into the steam of saturation state equally fully, make the steam fumarole 211 of base plate 21 can discharge more substantial steam.In addition, when the user desires to stop the steam function of steam iron 200, order about the resistive portion 621 of choked flow piece 616 and be reset to blocking position as long as push steam button 72 (Fig. 2) once more, make runner I be blocking state after, can stop using steam function.

When the user adjusts the temperature gear of base plate 21 once more, when making base plate 21 temperature between between first preset temperature and second preset temperature, the temperature of heater 22 can return back to low temperature shelves temperature, makes electromagnetic valve 6 be returned to first operator scheme.

In sum, in the present embodiment, temperature gear difference along with base plate 21, electromagnetic valve 61 can move under first, second operator scheme, with the inflow size in the water inflow vapor space 221 in the control water space 53, what of steam regulation amount whereby, and can promote the quality that presses, can reach the purpose of this utility model really.
