Definitions
- the present invention relates to electric steam irons for ironing without having to be connected by an electric power cord.
- Such irons are generally associated with a base which is connected to it by the mains by a power cord, and on which the user regularly deposits the iron.
- Electrical connection means are provided for connecting the rear part of the iron to the electrical supply cord connected to the base, so that the iron, in particular its soleplate, can heat up when it is placed on the base.
- the user can remove it from the base and proceed to ironing without being hindered by the power cord.
- the soleplate stores the energy necessary for ironing and spraying water.
- the energy required for vaporization during the ironing time is much higher than that which would be required for a simple dry ironing.
- the heating power and the thermal capacity of the soleplate must be adapted.
- the thermal capacity of the soleplate must be sufficient so that the temperature does not drop too much during ironing. But completely satisfying this requirement leads to thick and heavy soles, the cost of which is prohibitive. Attempts have been made to use the latent heat of fusion of complex bodies included in the sole, but these bodies can become dangerous if leaked.
- the power of the base must be high to provide the necessary energy during the only pause time.
- the irons have a relatively low capacity vaporizing water tank, leading to frequent manual filling, during which it is not recommended to switch on the iron because of the risk of overflow.
- WO97 / 21866 describes a cordless iron in which the heating energy recharge time is somewhat reduced.
- energy is produced and accumulated in a heated liquid which is then quickly transferred into the iron at the level of the soleplate during the ironing pause times, this heated liquid being exchanged with the cooled liquid of the previous sequence.
- this sole heating device requires a very large circulation of hot liquid which can only be obtained with a special pump or by a delicate pressure balancing of several tanks, and two hydraulic connections from the iron to the base, which increases the risk of breakdowns.
- the device does not include supplying the iron with vaporizing water or steam.
- Patent DE3538544 describes the accumulation of thermal energy in the base, this energy being transferred to the iron by conduction during the ironing pause times. But this device requires a hot base which can be dangerous to use.
- the aim of the invention below is to provide a cordless steam iron, the autonomy of the active ironing phase of which is increased compared to conventional cordless irons, with automatic recharging of steam water so as not to require intervention. of the user.
- the design of such an iron must also be relatively simple to ensure its reliability.
- the object of the invention is achieved by an ironing device comprising a base for generating hot water under pressure, means for rapid hydraulic and electrical connection of a cordless iron to the base when the iron is placed. on the base, remarkable in that the cordless iron comprises a soleplate and an internal steam generator thermally independent of each other and respectively provided with their own heating and regulation means.
- This arrangement allows ironing at a sole temperature which can be adjusted on demand, the steam not being produced by the heat stored by the sole.
- the sole stores enough energy for a dry ironing without cord and does not cool more when the iron vaporizes because on the other hand the generator internal to the cordless iron behaves independently as an accumulator, stores and returns another energy sufficient to produce the vaporization of the water during ironing.
- the internal generator of the iron is a boiler consisting of a pressure-resistant tank connected to the hydraulic means for rapid connection of the iron with the base, equipped with an electric heating element and a steam outlet valve.
- the iron being on its base, the internal steam generator is filled with pressurized hot water previously produced and stored in the base generator.
- the filling of the boiler is done by balancing the pressures between the base generator and that of the iron.
- the iron being cold or having lost heat during ironing, the pressure of the iron boiler is low while that of the base generator is kept permanently high.
- the water contained in the base quickly flows from the base to the boiler of the iron through the hydraulic connection means and fills the boiler completely except in the first cycle where a little air remains. This air is entrained by steam during the next ironing cycles.
- the filling water mixes with the residual water from the boiler quickly bringing in a large amount of heat and warming it up. By lowering the pressure we could cause some of this water to evaporate and get steam.
- the heating of the steam generator internal to the iron is on and heats the water, producing steam, increasing the pressure beyond that of the base generator, this pressure releasing in the base part of the water from the boiler to the mouth of a water inlet pipe into the boiler.
- the steam outlet valve is then always free. A volume of steam is available and, the iron having left the base in the ironing position, one can act on the outlet valve to obtain steam. The pressure of the water and that of the steam equilibrate, causing the water to boil, even when not heated, and cool slowly.
- the water level is always adjusted to the height of the mouth of the hot water inlet duct to the boiler so that the filling level of the iron water vaporization is maintained automatically and requires no user intervention.
- the quick connection means belonging to the iron are located on the heel of the iron and the level of admission of hot water into the boiler on its base is defined by the end of a cannula, the other end of which is connected to the hydraulic connection means.
- the cannula is internal to the boiler.
- the heating element of the internal iron generator heats the boiler on a wall or part of a wall which is located below the mouth of the water intake duct when the iron is on its base.
- the heated wall is thus constantly in contact with water and no overheating of the heating element can occur.
- the steam outlet valve is also a valve opening in the event of abnormal overpressure in the boiler.
- the hot water generator contained in the base comprises a heating tank containing saturated steam overcoming the hot water maintained at substantially constant level.
- the volume of vapor is on the one hand compressible and on the other hand condensable under a pressure greater than the saturated vapor pressure.
- the presence of this volume of steam allows the water to flow back from the iron to this tank, the volume delivered being less than the volume of steam contained in the tank.
- the hot water generator of the base comprises a water tank at ambient pressure and a pump for filling the tank from this tank.
- the ironing system can be filled with water at any time.
- the invention will be better understood on the basis of the example described below and the attached drawings.
- Figure 1 is a schematic section through a longitudinal vertical plane of an ironing device according to the invention, the iron being on its base.
- Figure 2 is a schematic section through a longitudinal vertical plane of an iron according to the invention in an ironing position on a plane horizontal.
- the ironing device comprises an iron 1 and a base 2.
- the base 2 connected to the electrical sector by means not shown contains a generator of hot water under a relative pressure of the order of 2.5 bars and part of the hydraulic 3 and electrical connection means provided for supplying the iron 1 with hot water and electricity.
- the generator comprises a room temperature water tank 201 with a filling orifice 202, an electric pump 203 preferably electromagnetic vibrating capable of supplementing the water level 205 in a tank 204 for heating the water, from the water tank 201.
- the pump 203 includes a non-return valve for water.
- the tank 204 is heated by an electric heating element 206 embedded in a plate 207.
- Sensors 208 allow the regulation of the level 205 and the temperature of the water in the tank 204.
- a pipe 209 connects the base of the tank 204 to the connection means 3 to allow the withdrawal of hot water.
- the regulation of the tank 204 is such that a volume of saturated vapor 210 remains permanently above the water level 205.
- the iron 1 is placed on one face 211 of the base in an angular position which approaches the vertical. This iron is connected by the heel to the base via the hydraulic and electrical connection means 3. The inclined position of the iron facilitates connection to the base.
- the structure of the iron is better detailed in Figure 2 where it is shown in the horizontal ironing position.
- the sole 101 of the iron 1 is in thermal connection with a heating body 102, constituting a mass of thermal accumulation, provided with an electric heating element 103.
- Holes 104 allow the passage of steam over the laundry.
- a chamber and / or distribution channels 105 make it possible to distribute the steam towards the holes 104.
- the iron 1 comprises an internal steam generator which is a boiler constituted by a tank 110, of approximately 220 cubic centimeters in this example, equipped a heating element 111 allowing the heating and the vaporization of water when the iron is on its base.
- the temperature of the boiler is regulated by a thermostat 112.
- a valve 113 allows the vaporization on the linen by releasing on command the steam from the boiler 110 towards the chamber 105.
- a button 114 provided with a return spring 115 allows the control of the valve 113.
- the return spring 115 is calibrated to let the valve 113 open in the event of overpressure in the boiler 110.
- the boiler 110 has a filling mouth 117 formed by the end of a cannula 116 connected to its other end to the part 31 specific to the iron of the hydraulic connection means 3.
- the hydraulic connection means 3 establish the continuity of the circuit between the cannula 116 and the line 209 when the iron is on its base and close the corresponding ends when the iron is removed from its base.
- a valve 32 is urged against its seat by a spring and by the pressure of the boiler 110 when the connection is not made, while this same valve 32 is opened mechanically in the other case.
- a similar device is located on the part of the means 3 belonging to the base.
- the user fills the reservoir 201 with water through the orifice 202, places the iron 1 on the base against the face 211 and therefore makes the connection by the heel of the iron on the base. It connects the base to the electrical sector.
- the pump establishes the level 205 in the tank 204 and the heating elements 207, 103, 111 are heating under control of the various regulations.
- the sole 101 and the thermal mass 102 heat up to the set temperature set by the user.
- the pressure increasing in the tank 204 up to approximately 2.5 bars the water flows via the means 3 into the boiler 110 which it fills almost completely except for a volume of residual air 118 now a high level 119.
- the heating element 111 then increases the pressure in the boiler of the iron 1 a little beyond the pressure of the tank 204.
- This overpressure discharges the water via the means 3 into the tank 204.
- the overpressure of vapor produced in the boiler 110 escapes and stops pumping the water.
- the position of the mouthpiece 117 is such that a large amount of water remains in the tank 110 while releasing the valve 113 in a space sufficient for it to not cause drops of water which can cause spitting. iron.
- the deflectors 120 situated in the environment of the valve 113 can advantageously complete the device. In this example there is then approximately 150 grams of water in the boiler 110.
- the pumped water returns to the boiler 204 by compressing it, which causes the condensation of part of the volume of saturated vapor 210 located above the level 205 and leaves room for the pumped water.
- the user picks up iron 1 and can iron.
- the sole 101 and the mass 102 being hot, it can iron dry, which consumes relatively little energy supplied by the sensible heat of the sole 101 and the mass 102.
- the button 114 When it presses the button 114 the vapor contained in the boiler 110 escapes with the residual air towards the steam holes 104.
- the pressure drops in the boiler, and the water boils so as to restore the liquid vapor pressure balance, although the heating element 111 is disconnected from any source of electricity.
- the vapor is therefore produced by the enthalpy of the water in the reservoir 110 without consuming the heat of the sole.
- the temperature and pressure drop slowly in the boiler with the amount of steam produced until the user puts the iron back on its base.
- the user will have sprayed his laundry for 20 seconds at an average flow rate of around 50 g / min while the pressure in the boiler will have dropped by 2.6 at 1bar.
