Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Bodenteil eines Haushalts-Bügeleisens der im Oberbegriff des Anspuchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a bottom part of a household iron in Preamble of Claim 1 Art.

Derartige Bodenteile weisen eine Sohlenplatte, deren Unterseite mit dem zu bügelnden Material, beispielsweise Kleidung, in Berührung kommt, und ein Heizelement zur Erwärmung der Sohlenplatte auf, wobei ein Thermostatelement zur Regelung der erforderlichen Bügeltemperatur für jede Art von Kleidung oder Textilien vorgesehen ist. Der Wasserdampf, der durch eine Vielzahl von Dampfaustrittsöffnungen in der Sohlenplatte ausströmt, wird von einem Verdampferkessel geliefert, der aus einem Wasserbehälter des Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisens mit Wasser gespeist wird.Such floor parts have a sole plate, the underside of which ironing material, such as clothing, comes into contact, and a Heating element for heating the soleplate, with a thermostat element for Regulation of the required ironing temperature for any type of clothing or Textiles is provided. The water vapor caused by a variety of Steam outlet openings in the soleplate is emitted by one Evaporator kettle supplied from a water tank of the household steam iron is fed with water.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Bei allen Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen, die bisher bekannt sind, wird die Erwärmung des Verdampferkessels durch das eigentliche Heizelement erzeugt, das die Sohlenplatte beheizt. Diese Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen arbeiten in einem Temperaturbereich, der zwischen 100°C und 200°C liegt. In dem Teil dieses Temperaturbereiches in der Nähe von 100°C ergibt sich ein nicht gesättigter Dampf, der als Feuchtdampf bezeichnet wird, weil er sich in der Nähe der Grenze zwischen dem flüssigen Zustand und dem Dampfzustand von Wasser befindet, wobei immer noch eine flüssige Phase in beträchtlicher Menge vorliegt und es sehr leicht passieren kann, daß ein Teil der Dampfphase in die flüssige Phase übergeht, wenn eine relativ geringe Temperaturerniedrigung hervorgerufen wird. Wenn andererseits die Temperatur ansteigt, so gewinnt man einen stärker gesättigten Wasserdampf, der als Trockendampf bezeichnet wird (angenähert bei etwa 120°C), und die flüssige Phase ist von zunehmend geringerer Bedeutung; auf diese Weise wird im oberen Teil des angegebenen Temperaturbereiches die Dampfphase zunehmend stabiler, weil zum Übergang auf die flüssige Phase erhebliche Temperaturverringerungen erforderlich sind.With all household steam irons that are known so far, the heating of the evaporator boiler generated by the actual heating element, which the Heated sole plate. These household steam irons work in one Temperature range between 100 ° C and 200 ° C. In the part of this Temperature range near 100 ° C there is an unsaturated vapor, which is called wet steam because it is close to the boundary between the liquid state and the vapor state of water, being always there is still a liquid phase in considerable quantities and it very easily can happen that part of the vapor phase changes into the liquid phase if a relatively low temperature drop is caused. If on the other hand the temperature rises, so you get a more saturated water vapor, which is called dry steam (approximately at about 120 ° C), and the liquid phase is becoming increasingly less important; in this way, in upper part of the specified temperature range the vapor phase increasingly more stable because the transition to the liquid phase is considerable Reductions in temperature are required.

Daher treten beim Bügelns keine Probleme auf, wenn man im oberen Teil des erwähnten Temperaturbereiches arbeitet; da dann in einwanfreier Weise Trockendampf erzeugt wird, und die hohe Temperatur der Sohlenplatte ist für das Gewebe, das gebügelt wird, geeignet, und die Kleidung nimmt aus diesem Grund keinen Schaden.Therefore, there are no problems with ironing if you are in the upper part of the mentioned temperature range works; because then in an impeccable way Dry steam is generated, and the high temperature of the soleplate is for that Fabric that is ironed is suitable, and clothes take off for this reason no harm.

Wenn andererseits empfindliche Textilien und Kleidungsstücke gebügelt werden sollen, muß die Temperatur der Sohlenplatte dem unteren Grenzwert des erwähnten Arbeitsbereiches entsprechen. Wenn die Sohlenplatte und der Verdampfungskessel durch das gleiche und einzige Heizelement erwärmt werden, besteht das Ergebnis darin, daß der für das Bügeln erzeugte und verfügbare Dampf ein Feuchtdampf ist. Als Folge hiervon wird beim Bügeln ein Tröpfeln hervorgerufen, das die Kleidung naß macht, was ärgerlich und lästig ist und die Bügelqualität vermindert. Diese Erscheinung wird durch die Abkühlung der Sohlenplatte in der Umgebung ihrer Dampfaustrittsöffnungen verstärkt, eine Abkühlung, die einen wesentlichen Einfluß hat, weil sie sehr nahe an den Temperaturen des aus der Sohlenplatte ausgestoßenen Dampfes liegt.On the other hand, when delicate textiles and clothing are ironed the temperature of the soleplate must be below the lower limit of the correspond to the mentioned work area. If the soleplate and the Evaporating boilers are heated by the same and only heating element the result is that the steam generated and available for ironing is a wet steam. As a result, dripping is caused when ironing, that makes clothes wet, which is annoying and annoying, and the ironing quality reduced. This phenomenon is caused by the cooling of the soleplate in the Enhances their steam outlet openings, a cooling that one has significant influence because it is very close to the temperature of the Sole plate expelled steam lies.

Ein weiteres Problem, das zur Tropfenbildung führen kann, ergibt sich aus der plötzlichen Abkühlung, die in der Verdampfungskammer des Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisens auftritt, wenn diese während des Bügelns mit Wasser mit wesentlich niedrigerer Temperatur von dem Wasserbehälter des Bügeleisens aufgefüllt wird.Another problem that can lead to the formation of drops arises from the sudden cooling that occurs in the vaporization chamber of the household steam iron occurs when this is essential during ironing with water lower temperature is filled by the water tank of the iron.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bodenteil für ein Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem bei einfachem Aufbau und verbessertem Betriebsverhalten eine Tropfenbildung bei allen erforderlichen Bügeltemperaturen sicher vermieden wird. The invention has for its object a base part for a household steam iron to create the type mentioned, in which with simple Structure and improved operating behavior a drop formation in all required ironing temperatures is safely avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Bodenteil für ein Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art geschaffen, der eine spezielle Konstruktion aufweist, die darin besteht, daß unabhängig von der aus der Sohlenplatte, dem Heizelement und dem Thermostatelement bestehenden Einheit, die übliche Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen aufweisen, der Bodenteil des Hausbügeleisens gemäß der Erfindung eine unabhängige Verdampfergruppe aufweist, die durch eine Verdampfungskammer gebildet ist, die eine mit dem Wasserbehälter des Haushaltsbügeleisens verbundene Wasserspeiseleitung aufweist, wobei diese Verdampfungskammer mit einem eigenen Heizwiderstand versehen ist, der seinen eigenen Thermostaten für die Regelung der Temperatur der Verdampfungskammer aufweist. Die getrennte Verdampfergruppe weist einen Dampfauslaß auf, der mit einem komplementären Dampfeinlaß verbunden ist, der in der Sohlenplatte für die korrekte Führung des Dampfes zu den Dampfaustrittsöffnungen vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, a base part for a household steam iron is used in the Preamble of claim 1 created type of a special Construction which is that regardless of which from the Sole plate, the heating element and the thermostat element existing unit, have the usual household steam iron, the bottom part of the House iron according to the invention an independent evaporator group has, which is formed by an evaporation chamber, one with the Household iron water tank connected water supply line has, this evaporation chamber with its own heating resistor is provided with its own thermostat for regulating the temperature the evaporation chamber. The separate evaporator group has one Steam outlet, which is connected to a complementary steam inlet, which in the soleplate for the correct guidance of the steam to the Steam outlet openings is provided.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion weist den Vorteil auf, daß die Dampferzeugung von der Sohlenplatte thermisch unabhängig ist. Dies ergibt den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß man über Trockendampf unabhängig von der Bügeltemperatur verfügt, die die Sohlenplatte in Abhängigkeit von der zu bügelnden Kleidung haben soll. Innerhalb des Arbeitsbereiches derartiger Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen beschädigt deren Temperatur nicht die Kleidung, sondern ergibt im Gegensatz ein Bügeln mit großer Qualität für wesentlich niedrigere Bügeltemperaturen ohne die Erzeugung von Tröpfchen, wobei eine derartige Temperaturdifferenz zwischen dem ausgestoßenen Dampf und der Sohlenplatte vorhanden ist, daß die Wirkung einer Abkühlung um die Ausstoßöffnungen herum vermieden wird, die bisher als Verstärker der Tröpfchenbildung bei bekannten Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen wirkte. Außerdem ermöglicht es diese thermische Unabhängigkeit, daß die Sohlenplatte bei niedrigeren Temperaturen arbeiten kann, als bekannte Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisen, weil man über einen trockenen Dampf verfügt, so daß sogar empfindlichere Bügelvorgänge ausgeführt werden können, als dies bei bekannten Bügeleisen der Fall war.This construction according to the invention has the advantage that the Steam generation is thermally independent of the soleplate. This gives the significant advantage that you can use dry steam regardless of Ironing temperature has that the sole plate depending on the to be ironed Should have clothes. Within the working area of such household steam irons their temperature does not damage clothing, but results in contrast, ironing with great quality for much lower Ironing temperatures without the generation of droplets, such Temperature difference between the steam emitted and the soleplate there is a cooling effect around the discharge ports is avoided, which was previously known as an enhancer of droplet formation in Household steam iron worked. It also enables thermal Independence that the soleplate can work at lower temperatures, known as a household steam iron because you have a dry steam has, so that even more sensitive ironing operations can be performed than this was the case with known irons.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist die unabhängige Verdampfergruppe mit der Sohlenplatte des Haushaltsbügeleisens verbunden, an diese angelegt oder in dieser angeordnet und in geeigneter Weise befestigt. Das heißt daß irgendeine beliebige Art von Befestigung zwischen diesen Einheiten im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich ist, sofern eine thermische Unabhängigkeit zwischen diesen Teilen erreicht wird.According to the invention is the independent evaporator group with the soleplate of the household iron connected to, placed on or arranged in this and appropriately attached. That is, any type of Attachment between these units is possible within the scope of the invention, provided thermal independence between these parts is achieved.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist zwischen der unabhängigen Verdampfergruppe und der Sohlenplatte des Haushaltsbügeleisens eine thermische Isolation mittels eines körperlichen wärmeisolierenden Materials oder über eine körperliche Trennung vorgesehen. In jedem Fall wird die zweckmäßigste Lösung in Abhängigkeit von den gewünschten Betriebseigenschaften des Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisens gewählt, das auf der Grundlage dieser Erfindung gebildet wird.According to one embodiment of the invention, the independent Evaporator group and the soleplate of the household iron a thermal Isolation using a physical heat insulating material or over a physical separation provided. In any case, the most appropriate solution is in Depending on the desired operating characteristics of the domestic steam iron chosen, which is formed on the basis of this invention.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der übliche Wasserbehälter des Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisens mit dem Einlaß der Verdampfungskammer über eine übliche Elektropumpe verbunden, die durch einen Mikroschalter betätigbar ist, wobei der Mikroschalter in seinem betätigten Zustand außerdem die Klemmen des Thermostaten überbrückt, der mit dem Heizwiderstand elektrisch in Serie geschaltet ist und die Temperatur der Verdampfungskammer regelt. Die Verdampfungskammer weist einen Hilfsthermostaten auf, der elektrisch in Serie mit dem ursprünglichen Thermostaten des Heizwiderstandes der Verdampfungskammer und vor dem eigentlichen Heizwiderstand geschaltet ist, wobei dieser Hilfsthermostat eine Abschalttemperatur hat, die in zweckmäßiger Weise größer als die des Thermostaten und kleiner als die Schmelztemperatur einer ersten thermischen Schmelzsicherung ist, die in dieser Verdampfungskammer angeordnet ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, the usual water tank is Household steam iron with the inlet of the evaporation chamber through a usual electric pump connected, which can be actuated by a microswitch, the microswitch in its actuated state also the terminals of the Thermostats bridged, which is electrically connected in series with the heating resistor and controls the temperature of the evaporation chamber. The Evaporation chamber has an auxiliary thermostat that is electrically in series with the original thermostat of the heating resistor Evaporation chamber and is connected in front of the actual heating resistor, this auxiliary thermostat has a switch-off temperature which is more appropriate Way larger than that of the thermostat and lower than the melting temperature of one first thermal fuse is in this vaporization chamber is arranged.

Diese Konstruktion ermöglicht es, daß der Thermostat der Verdampfungskammer unwirksam gemacht wird, während diese mit Wasser durch die Elektropumpe gefüllt wird, was bedeutet, daß während der Aktivierung der Elektropumpe automatisch der Heizwiderstand der Verdampfungskammer in Betrieb gesetzt wird, wodurch das in diese eintretende Wasser erwärmt wird, während, wenn die Aktivierung der Elektropumpe beendet wird, der Thermostat wieder in Betrieb gesetzt wird. Hierdurch wird eine weitere Möglichkeit einer Tropfenbildung vermieden.This construction allows the thermostat to evaporate is rendered ineffective while it is filled with water by the electric pump is, which means that during the activation of the electric pump the Heating resistor of the evaporation chamber is put into operation, which in this incoming water is heated while when the activation of the Electric pump is stopped, the thermostat is started again. This avoids another possibility of droplet formation.

Der Hilfsthermostat wirkt als Sicherheitseinrichtung gegen mögliche Überhitzungen während des Vorganges des Auffüllens derart, daß er den Durchgang des elektrischen Stromes durch den Heizwiderstand unterbricht, bevor die Temperatur in der Verdampfungskammer den Wert erreicht, bei dem die erste thermische Schmelzsicherung schmilzt, die die letzte Sicherheit ist, die verhindert, daß das Bügeleisen durchbrennt.The auxiliary thermostat acts as a safety device against possible overheating during the refilling process such that it blocks the passage of the electrical current through the heating resistor interrupts before the temperature in the evaporation chamber reaches the value at which the first thermal Fuse melts, which is the ultimate security that prevents that The iron is blowing.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Wasserspeiseleitung, die von dem Wasserbehälter des Haushalts-Dampfbügeleisens ausgeht, mit einer Einlaßmündung verbunden ist, die im oberen Teil der Verdampfungskammer angeordnet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the water feed line is the from the water tank of the household steam iron, with a Inlet mouth is connected in the upper part of the vaporization chamber is arranged.

Anstelle des Thermostaten und des Hilfsthermostaten kann auch ein elektronisches thermostatisches Element vorgesehen sein, das in der Verdampfungskammer angeordnet ist und das aufgrund seiner großen Präzision und Ansprechgeschwindigkeit als solche die gleiche Funktionsweise hat, wie sie für sich durch den Thermostaten und den Hilfsthermostaten ergibt.Instead of the thermostat and the auxiliary thermostat, an electronic one can also be used thermostatic element can be provided in the evaporation chamber is arranged and because of its great precision and Response speed as such has the same functionality as it does for itself by the thermostat and the auxiliary thermostat.

Eine zweite thermische Schmelzsicherung kann in der Sohlenplatte angeordnet sein. A second thermal fuse can be arranged in the soleplate his.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Verdampfergruppe und die Sohlenplatte mechanisch in einem einstückigen Körper integriert sein, in dem die Verdampfungsgruppe mechanisch von der Sohlenplatte durch eine untere Isoliereinrichtung und eine seitliche Isoliereinrichtung getrennt ist, wobei die Verdampfergruppe und die Sohlenplatte mechanisch ausschließlich über eine Trennwand verbunden sind, die am vorderen Ende der Verdampfergruppe angeordnet ist, wobei diese Trennwand durch einen Durchgang durchquert wird, in dem der Dampfauslaß der Verdampfergruppe und der Dampfeinlaß der Sohlenplatte vereinigt sind. Diese konstruktive Lösung erweist sich als vorteilhaft, weil der Herstellungsvorgang vereinfacht werden kann, und die Anzahl der Teile verringert wird und gleichzeitig die Montagezeit und die Montagemittel verringert werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the evaporator group and the sole plate is mechanically integrated in a one-piece body be in which the evaporation group mechanically from the soleplate through a lower insulating device and a lateral insulating device is separated, the Evaporator group and the soleplate mechanically only via one Partition connected at the front end of the evaporator group is arranged, said partition being crossed by a passage, in the steam outlet of the evaporator group and the steam inlet of the soleplate are united. This constructive solution proves to be advantageous because of the Manufacturing process can be simplified, and the number of parts reduced assembly time and assembly means will be reduced.
