Definitions

  • a container with a three litre water capacity needs around 20 minutes to reach working temperatures and when the water is all used up, before refilling it, it is necessary to safely and slowly eliminate the pressure built up inside. This takes at least another 10 minutes, so by the time it's filled up again both procedures have taken up at least 30 minutes.
  • Improvement of steam generators for household use specifically achieved by using a general external casing on which the controls, connections, handle for its use etc... are placed.
  • a general water deposit has been placed inside. This water deposit has a window that indicates the water level, therefore allowing the user to visually check the water level from the outside.
  • This deposit is connected to the boiler by a pump which sends water into the boiler even when the pressure in the boiler has reached a certain level.
  • An electrical heating element has been placed inside the boiler and is in charge of elevating the water temperature to 135°, therefore producing the vaporization of the water and the necessary pressure build up needed to be able to use the steam with the accessories fitted on the steam outlet.
  • a level meter placed inside the boiler activates the pump when the water level falls beneath the pre-established level. This pump works to refill the boiler until the indicated level is reached again, so the pressure necessary to use the machine is always maintained without inconveniences. Also, the deposit can be refilled without having to turn off the machine since the main water deposit is maintained at normal temperature and pressure levels. This is possible since the water in the boiler can't get back into the general deposit because a one way valve has been placed between the boiler and the pump that sends the water to the boiler.
  • a vacuuming system has also been added on to this machine, and it picks up the dirt dissolved in the condense water sending it to a special deposit made up of cylinder shaped receptacle with a lateral inlet on one of its sides. Which takes the vacuumed air through a sinuous and expansive path that causes the water carried by the vacuumed air to be deposited at the bottom of the receptacle, while the air carrying solid waste, goes through an axial conduit on the deposit, to another receptacle where a paper bag has been placed. The porosity of the bag lets the clean air out.
  • the vacuum does not have to be used with steam. This means it can be used as a normal vacuum without having to turn on the steam generator.
  • the improvements for steam generators for household use are achieved by placing inside the general casing (1) a water deposit (2).
  • a filling conduit (3) placed at the top of the casing, pierces the casing (1) letting water in through a conduit (4) to an injection pump (5) where it is then sent through another conduit (6), where a one way valve (7) has been placed, finally reaching the boiler (8) where a heating element has been placed (9) with a thermostat (10) and or pressurestat that maintains the temperature or pressure needed inside the mentioned boiler.
  • the water level inside the boiler is controlled with a level meter (11) with its corresponding thermostat (12) that is electrically connected (13) to the injection pump (5).
  • a special vacuum can be fitted on (19) and has an external air outlet (23). Vacuuming takes place in a lower area (22) towards an intermediate area (20) which will be described later on and where the condensed water is deposited and dragged towards a collector (16).
  • This special vacuuming device is made up of a cylinder shaped deposit (24) which has a lateral inlet on one of its sides (25) and which is connected to the vacuuming record (16) through means correctly sealed and fitted.
  • This deposit (24) has an axial outlet (26) on its base, and on its top edge a cover (27) with an lateral inlet (28) has been placed.
  • a deflector (30) dome shaped pointed at the center and with interior sides (31) which form a larger diameter than that of the axial conduit (26) of the deposit (24).
  • a toric buoy (32) has been placed around the axial conduit (26).
  • One of its sides has been specially designed so that when it stars sinking it fits itself into the top edge of the round ring between the sides (31) and the top opening of the axial conduit obstructing it so that when the maximum level of water in the deposit is reached, vacuuming is stopped since the air can not get through.
  • the steam generator works in the following way: a filling tap (3) for the deposit is used to fill the deposit (2) with water, at room temperature, till the level required is met and visually checked through the window (17) on the casing (1). The water then goes through a conduit (4) towards the pump (5). Since the boiler (8) is empty the pump is activated and water is forced into the boiler till the level marked by the level meter is reached (11).
  • the heating element (9) starts to heat the water up until the established temperature and pressure necessary to produce steam is reached.
  • the accessory needed for each special case is fitted on the casing.
  • the pump (5) automatically shuts off since a level meter (11) is in charge of shutting off or activating this pump during the use of this machine if the level falls beneath the pre-established level in the boiler. So the precise temperature and level needed for the correct working conditions are always maintained.
  • the level in the deposit (2) drops it's not necessary to turn off the machine or to wait till the pressure level goes down since the deposit has been separated from the boiler and is only used to fill the boiler with water. So by opening the filling cap (3) the deposit can be filled whenever necessary without wasting time or having to interrupt the cleaning process. Since the boiler has a reduced capacity and it is continuously being filled up, the time needed to heat the water up is noticeably reduced when compared to the machines used up until now.
  • the control panel (18) has been set up so that the machine can be used either as a steam generator or a vacuum or both at the same time depending on the necessity of each chore.
  • the shape, the materials used and dimensions can be modified, and generally everything that is accessory or secondary can always be modified as long as it doesn't alter or modify the essence of the improvements described.
