Description
Technical Field
The present utility model relates to the field of ironing and/or ironing household appliances, comprising a body comprising an evaporation chamber having an evaporation surface onto which water is injected to generate steam; and a steam distribution circuit allowing the steam flow to be conveyed towards the at least one steam output aperture, wherein the steam distribution circuit comprises scale retention means for retaining scale particles conveyed by the steam flow; and a scale recovery cavity disposed upstream of the retention device and comprising a scale discharge orifice closed by a removable plug accessible from outside the appliance.

Detailed Description
Note that in this document, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "lower", "upper", "front", "rear" used to describe the iron are with reference to the appliance lying on its ironing board.
Only those elements necessary for an understanding of the present utility model are shown. To facilitate reading of the drawings, like reference numerals have been used to designate like elements in the different drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a steam iron 1 comprising an ironing board 10, the ironing board 10 being provided with a set of steam output apertures 10A, only visible in fig. 2, a housing of plastic material being located on the ironing board 10, said housing comprising a gripping handle 11 extending longitudinally with respect to the iron 1.
The handle 11 has a rear end which is elongated by the rear portion 12, and in a non-operational ironing phase the iron 1 may rest substantially vertically on the rear portion 12, the rear portion 12 comprising two arms defining a space therebetween for receiving a removable plug 13, the plug 13 providing access to the scale discharge aperture 50, as shown in fig. 2.
The stopper 13 is fastened to the rear surface 12A of the housing, embedded in the rear portion 12, by means of a bayonet-type fastener similar to that described in more detail in the applicant's patent application FR2981371, the rear surface of the housing being slightly inclined forward so as to be more easily accessible when the iron 1 is resting horizontally on its ironing board 10.
According to fig. 2 to 4, the ironing board 10 is thermally and mechanically connected to a heating body 2 integrated in the lower part of the housing, the heating body 2 comprising an aluminium casting, which generally comprises a heating resistor 20 bent in the shape of a horseshoe and a boss 21, the boss 21 being arranged for receiving a thermostat 14, the thermostat 14 being arranged for regulating the temperature of the heating body 2 to around a set temperature.
The heating body 2 comprises a peripheral wall 22, the peripheral wall 22 laterally delimiting a space comprising a main evaporation chamber 3 and a super evaporation chamber 4, both of the main evaporation chamber 3 and the super evaporation chamber 4 being of the instantaneous evaporation type and comprising a bottom with a evaporation surface, advantageously comprising a plurality of pyramidal uprights, allowing an increase in the heat exchange surface.
The evaporation chamber 3 is arranged in the centre of the heating body 2 and is connected to the steam output aperture 10A of the ironing plate 10 by means of a steam distribution circuit comprising two lateral diffusion channels 30, the lateral diffusion channels 30 extending on both sides of the evaporation chamber 3 and merging at the front end of the heating body 2 at the front junction 30A and the rear end of the heating body 2 at the rear junction 30B. The lateral channel 30 generally comprises an aperture 31, the aperture 31 opening through the heating body 2 on the lower surface of the heating body 2 at a steam distribution cavity 33 (visible in fig. 2), the steam distribution cavity 33 being arranged opposite the steam output aperture 10A of the ironing plate 10.
According to fig. 2 and 3, the heating body 2 further comprises a closing plate 24, said closing plate 24 resting on the upper edge of the peripheral wall 22, and a reservoir 15 integrated in the iron housing being located on said closing plate 24. The reservoir 15 supplies water to the evaporation chamber 3 through an orifice 24A provided in the closing plate 24, which orifice 24A supplies water from the reservoir 15 in a manner known per se by means of a pump 24B, which is controlled by the circuit board as indicated by the broken line in fig. 1, and allows a continuous steam flow, possibly up to 70gr/min, to be produced.
The main evaporation chamber 3 is laterally delimited by a partition plate 23, the partition plate 23 rising up to a closing plate 24 and being connected in a sealed manner with the closing plate 24, so that the steam generated in the evaporation chamber 3 can escape only through openings 23A provided in the partition plate 23 at the rear end of the evaporation chamber 3.
The opening 23A of the partition is connected in a sealed manner to a duct 25, the duct 25 being embedded in the heating body 2, the heating body 2 comprising a rear zone 2A of reduced width defining a volume where the rear end of the duct 25 engages.
The iron 1 comprises a collecting main 5, the collecting main 5 being in an extension of the rear zone 2A of the heating body 2 and advantageously having the shape of a duct comprising a front end facing the opening of the opening 22A provided in the peripheral wall 22 and a rear end comprising an orifice 50 receiving the removable plug 13.
Preferably, the header 5 and the conduit 25 are molded from a plastic material, such as PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) material.
In a manner known per se, the volume provided inside the rear zone 2A of the heating body 2 and the collecting duct 5 forms a cavity 51 for receiving the means 8 for retaining scale particles (as shown in isolation in fig. 8), the cavity 51 comprising an open end 51A open in the rear junction 30B of the side channel 30 and a rear end closed by the plug 13.
As can be seen from fig. 4 and 7, the width of the duct 25 is smaller than the width of the cavity 51, so that on each side of the duct 25 and the coupling sleeve 25A there is a space which forms an outlet channel 26 through which the steam flow fed by the duct 25 into the cavity 51 can escape in the direction of the rear junction 30B and then through the side channels 30.
According to fig. 8, the device 8 for retaining scale particles comprises a scale recovery vessel 6, said scale recovery vessel 6 having an axial opening 60 and a closed rear end, through which axial opening 60 the steam flow discharged by the evaporation chamber 3 enters the vessel 6, and the closed rear end is fastened to a plug 13.
Preferably, the container 6 supports a first seal 61 and a second seal 62 made of silicone, which establish a sealing joint with the coupling sleeve 25A and the inner wall of the cavity 51, and comprises two windows 63 between the two seals 61, 62, the windows 63 receiving the filter grid 7.
The grid 7 has calibrated openings for retaining particles of maximum size while providing a sufficient passage cross section for the required steam flow. For example, the filter grid 7 is made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.1mm, or of glass fabric with a woven wire with a diameter of 1mm, and has square openings on each side of less than 0.4mm, preferably between 0.1mm and 0.4mm, the surface area of the filter grid being at least 8cm for square openings of 0.2mm and an expected steam flow of about 40 to 50gr/min 2 。
According to fig. 2, the container 6 has a hollow lower part, preferably about 4 to 5cm 3 In which scale particles can be stored, the front end of the hollow portion having a step 6A, allowing to prevent scale recovered in the container 6 from returning to the evaporation chamber 3 by gravity when the iron 1 is placed on its ironing plate 10.
More specifically, according to the present utility model, the iron 1 has a self-cleaning function that allows a large amount of water to be suddenly fed onto the evaporation surface of the evaporation chamber 3 after the evaporation surface of the evaporation chamber 3 has reached a maximum temperature (advantageously higher than 220 ℃).
Preferably, the self-cleaning function is implemented by a program integrated in the circuit board of the iron 1, which the user can select by means of control buttons.
The self-cleaning procedure advantageously comprises:
a first phase, during which the heating resistor 20 is continuously supplied with power, during which the temperature of the heating body 2 is brought to a maximum set temperature with a vaporization surface temperature greater than 220 ℃;
a second phase of switching off the power to the heating resistor 20;
a third phase of completely evacuating the reservoir 15 into the evaporation chamber 3 by operating the pump 24B at maximum flow, so that the temperature difference between the evaporation surface and the water causes thermal stresses and deformations on the deposited scale, thus causing it to break and fall off the evaporation surface 3 under the driving of the steam flow and become trapped in the scale recovery container 6;
a fourth phase of drying the heating body 2 by supplying power to the resistor 20 until the temperature of the heating body 2 reaches a set temperature of about 130 ℃;
a fifth phase of switching off the power supply to the resistor 20.
The operation of the iron 1 implemented in this way will now be described.
When water from the reservoir 15 is pumped into the evaporation chamber 3, the water comes into contact with the evaporation surface, where it instantaneously evaporates, which causes a release of a steam flow, which escapes sequentially through the duct 25, the container 6, the filter grill 7, the output channel 26 and the side channel 30, which then passes through the orifice 31 to the lower surface of the ironing plate 10 and escapes through the output holes 10A of the ironing plate.
However, the evaporation of the water gradually forms a layer of calcium carbonate on the evaporation surface of the evaporation chamber 3, which gradually breaks down into small-sized particles, in particular due to the expansion of the heating body 2 during the cooling phase between the two ironing phases.
Thus, a portion of the scale particles present in the evaporation chamber 3 are carried by the steam flow in the conduit 25, partly by its inertia, to the bottom of the scale recovery container 6, where they are captured and partly to the filter grid 7.
When the steam stops, most of the particles caught by the grating 7 fall back into the hollow part of the container 6 by gravity so that the user can remove the container 6 by pulling off the stopper 13 to discharge the particles.
This removal of the container 6 allows for the removal of scale particles that gradually fall out of the steam chamber 3. However, it does not allow the removal of scale that remains attached to the walls of the evaporation chamber 3.
Thus, when a more advanced cleaning of the iron 1 is required, after several steam ironing phases, or when a warning light on the iron 1 is activated, the user is invited to trigger a self-cleaning procedure so that the amount of scale particles falling off the vaporised surface is maximised.
During this self-cleaning operation, the pump 24B injects a large amount of water onto the overheated vaporization surface of the vaporization chamber 3, causing scale particles to flake off. The presence of the filter grid 7 thus allows to prevent large-scale particles falling off from the evaporation chamber 3 from being transported by the vapor flow through the outlet channels 26 and the side channels 30, with the risk of these particles being trapped there.
In this way, the larger particles are blocked by the filter grill 7 and fall back into the receptacle 6, whereas the finer particles passing through the filter grill 7 can be discharged to the outside of the iron 1 through the outlet channel 26, the side channel 30 and the outlet aperture 10A of the ironing plate 10 without difficulty.
The contents of the vessel 6 may then be emptied and the vessel 6 may be rinsed under tap water to clean it. The cleaning of the grating 7 may also be performed by scrubbing the grating 7 under water with a brush or immersing it in a descaling liquid, if deemed necessary by the user.
The iron thus produced has the advantage of comprising particle retention means associated with a self-cleaning procedure, which has the advantage of maximizing the cleaning efficiency of the iron, while eliminating the drawbacks normally associated with implementing such a self-cleaning procedure, namely the release of large-sized particles that would clog the steam distribution circuit.
The utility model is of course in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated above, which are given by way of example only. In particular, modifications may be made in the construction of the various elements or in substitution by equivalent techniques without thereby departing from the scope of the utility model.
Thus, in a variant of embodiment of the utility model, not shown, the evaporation chamber of the iron may be supplied with water from a reservoir for the drip valve. In this case, the drip valve will be associated with a self-cleaning device, which can be actuated manually by a user to perform a self-cleaning operation after adjusting the thermostat of the iron to its highest temperature, as described for example in patent application EP 1366227.
