Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general technical field of ironing and of methods and apparatuses designed to ensure shaping of a textile article, such as a garment, by subjecting it to the action of heat treatment and mechanical ironing treatment.
  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for ironing a textile article in which, during an ironing cycle, said article is subjected to the simultaneous action of at least one heat treatment and one mechanical ironing treatment in combined with steam treatment during at least part of the ironing cycle.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an ironing method and apparatus, using an associated steam iron by means of a connector to a steam generation plant.
  • the ironing methods and apparatus designed according to this principle are generally satisfactory, but it turns out, in particular during long-term ironing operations, that the systematic actuation over a long period of the button for controlling the emission of steam constitutes an exacting and tiring manual operation for the user.
  • the object of the invention is precisely to try to remedy the various drawbacks listed above, and in particular to provide a method and ironing device capable of reducing most of the manual operations linked to the ironing operation, and capable of automating most of the essential functions of the ironing operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an ironing method and device making it possible to optimally and repeatedly adapt the steam treatment according to the nature of the article to be ironed.
  • Another object of the invention also aims to provide an ironing method and device able to offer the user a large choice of automatic ironing functions, and in particular for managing the steam cycle.
  • Another object of the invention also aims to propose an ironing method and device allowing automatic management of the steam cycle requiring no specific gestures on the part of the user.
  • Figure 1 shows a general perspective view of an ironing apparatus according to the invention.
  • an ironing appliance such as that shown in FIG. 1, and comprising an autonomous steam generator and separated from an iron 2.
  • object of the invention can however be applied to any type of ironing appliance, and in particular to irons having an internal steam generator and reservoir.
  • the steam generator 1 is connected to the iron 2 by a hose 3 ensuring the electrical transmission and the transfer of the steam under pressure. He understands internally, as is well known in the prior art, a tank and heating elements not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the steam generator 1 is externally limited by a housing 4 having a rear face 5.
  • the ironing apparatus also comprises an iron 2 of the traditional type comprising a handle 6, a push-button 7 for adjusting the set temperature of an iron soleplate 8 by means of a thermostat. not shown in the figures.
  • the ironing apparatus also comprises a microprocessor connected to the means for producing and emitting steam from the apparatus and programmed to manage and automatically control the emission of steam through the orifices of the sole 8.
  • the microprocessor is programmed to generate control signals for the production and emission of steam and comprises an electronic card making it possible to propose to the user, by means of display, such as an LCD screen 10, information consisting in proposing a set of preset steam cycle management program.
  • the microprocessor is programmed to propose, as desired, at least one continuous steam emission program and one steam emission program according to a sequenced cycle alternating steam cycles and dry cycles.
  • each program comprising a characteristic vapor emission frequency and different from that of other steam emission programs in alternating cycles.
  • At least two programs will be proposed having a sequenced steam emission cycle respectively having for example a cycle of 1.2 seconds for one and 1.9 seconds for the other.
  • the steam is therefore emitted for 1.2 or 1.9 seconds corresponding to a humidification phase of the laundry, the time remaining to run before the other vapor emission phase corresponding to a heat treatment and mechanical linen, that is to say shaping by passing the hot soleplate of the iron.
  • each duration of vapor emission is associated with an equivalent duration of non-vaporization phase.
  • the microprocessor is also connected to a series of selection means 11 such as buttons or sliders allowing the user to scroll and / or select one of the preset programs corresponding to the nature of the article to be ironed.
  • selection means 11 such as buttons or sliders allowing the user to scroll and / or select one of the preset programs corresponding to the nature of the article to be ironed.
  • means for memorizing the various programs, as well as the program selected by the user are provided on the device in relation to the microprocessor.
  • Such an embodiment makes it possible to ensure, as soon as the appliance is connected to the sector marking the start of the ironing cycle, the automatic start-up of the means for producing the emission of steam without any other intervention on the part of the user. .
  • the device according to the invention also comprises a contact detector, for example by means of tactile keys 12 integral with the handle 6, of the presence of the person responsible for carrying out the ironing operation.
  • a contact detector for example by means of tactile keys 12 integral with the handle 6, of the presence of the person responsible for carrying out the ironing operation.
  • Such a detector is functionally connected to the means for producing and emitting steam, for example by an electronic card responsible for managing the information (presence or absence of the hand on the handle 6) and transmitting it.
  • One of the important steps of the process according to the invention therefore consists, after the selection step, in controlling or stopping the emission of steam by detecting respectively the presence or absence of a part of the body of the person responsible for ironing, on a control member in this case the presence detector.
  • a vapor emission control button 13 it is provided in a first phase of the ironing cycle, after the selection of a program for managing a steam cycle and after the first detection of the presence of the hand of the user on the handle 6, to activate the automatic vapor emission control by actuation of an activation means, in this case a vapor emission control button 13.
  • the control button 13 is used at the same time to control the emission of steam as part of a non-automatic ironing operation, that is to say in manual mode.
  • the microprocessor also includes a control logic functionally connected to an electrical means making it possible, for security reasons, to provide a shut-off function.
  • the latter consists in automatically cutting off the electrical supply to the means for producing and emitting steam when no presence detection has been detected after a pre-established time interval, of the order for example of 22 minutes.
  • a pre-established time interval of the order for example of 22 minutes.
  • the process for ironing a textile article according to the invention is as follows.
  • the steam generator is automatically switched on and immediately starts heating the water, preferably in a fast mode.
  • the various preset steam cycle management programs are offered, for example using pictograms registering in the LCD screen 10.
  • selection means 11 the user selects, at the start of the ironing cycle, a single program which she chooses according to the nature of the article to be ironed .
  • the method according to the invention then consists in automatically ensuring during the entire ironing cycle, without any intervention from the user, the emission of steam according to the frequency corresponding to the selected program.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to automatically ensure the initialization of the selected steam cycle, such initialization immediately making available a vapor emission.
  • the user At the start of the ironing cycle, the user must grasp the handle 6 at least once so as to activate the steam production cycle while actuating the activation means once such as the control button 13. Thereafter, the simple grip of the iron by the handle 6 generates automatically and immediately, without any other manual intervention, the emission of steam according to the selected program.
  • the ironing method and apparatus in accordance with the invention consequently allow an appreciable saving of time by the significant reduction in control manipulations leading to extensive automation of the washing cycle. ironing and increased user comfort.
