Definitions
- the present invention relates to steam irons and mainly irons comprising a self-cleaning device making it possible to clean the vaporization chamber by suddenly precipitating a large amount of water therein.
- patent US5924224 is known which describes an iron having an effective anti-drip function but no self-cleaning function.
- the object of the invention is an economic, reliable steam iron comprising a self-cleaning function and an anti-drip function, not having the drawbacks mentioned.
- the object of the invention is achieved by an instant vaporizing steam iron comprising a water tank, a vaporization chamber, a drip prevention device, and a drip device having an axial displacement rod characterized in that that the total stroke of the rod with axial displacement comprises a first stroke ensuring the flow of vaporizing water through the orifice of a module receiving the water from the reservoir through the anti-drip device, and a second stroke which simultaneously opens a direct passage of water from the reservoir to the module and moves the module by opening a larger orifice for the passage of water from the reservoir to the vaporization chamber.
- the water in the tank must pass through the anti-drip device before reaching the module and then the vaporization chamber.
- the user adjusts the position of the axial displacement rod by the spray control.
- the spraying and self-cleaning control comprises a cam acting on the rod, a first part of the cam has a lower slope than the coefficient of friction of the materials in contact with the rod and the cam, and a second part of the cam has a steeper slope than said coefficient of friction.
- This first part is suitable for the stroke of the rod with axial displacement during which the water is vaporized.
- the second part of the cam is suitable for ensuring the second part of the total stroke of the rod when you want to do a self cleaning.
- This steeper slope makes the reversible positioning, and the command harder, which avoids an accidental command of the self-cleaning.
- the user must maintain the order during this relatively infrequent operation, but made easy by these provisions.
- the module orifice, the large water passage opening opened by the module, the direct passage of water from the reservoir to the module are circular and of the same axis.
- the water circuit between the tank and the vaporization chamber is very short.
- the arrival of water in the room is brutal and efficient.
- the construction of the iron can be compact.
- the drip and the module are contained in a vertical tubular body which isolates them from the water tank during ironing, the tubular body comprising at its lower part a tubular seal, retractable with the module in the second stroke of the rod with axial displacement.
- the opening of a direct passage of water from the reservoir to the module is simplified.
- the module can directly drive the seal by lifting it without mechanical intermediary.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal view of an iron according to the invention, in partial section of the front of the iron.
- Figure 2 is a partial longitudinal section of the iron in the region of the drip valve.
- FIG. 3 is a detailed sectional view of the assembly of the drip valve and the anti-drip valve.
- FIGS. 4a to 4d are a series of four sectional views of the drip in different adjustment positions.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the drip control.
- the steam iron 1 comprises a reservoir 2 in two main parts 21, 22, and having a filling orifice 23 closed by a cover 24, a heating body 3 provided with an element heating 31, a vaporization chamber 32 in the heating body 3 being closed by a plate 33, a thin sole 34 in thermal contact with the heating body 3 materializing the surface in contact with the fabric during ironing.
- Distribution channels 35 and steam holes 36 in the heating body 3 and the soleplate 34 evacuate the steam on the laundry.
- the closure plate 33 is pierced with a hole 330 ( Figures 2 and 3) in the axis of a drip device through which the water to be vaporized is introduced into the vaporization chamber 32.
- the drip device comprising a module 5 is housed in a chimney constituted by part 21 and part 22 of the tank.
- a bellows-shaped seal 70 seals between the two parts at this location.
- the seal 70 carries at one end a lip 71 in contact with the part 22 during normal use of the iron, so that the water from the reservoir normally arrives around the module 5 only through a channel 222.
- the end of the seal 70 carrying the lip 71 is integral with the module 5 and can move with it.
- An anti-drip valve 80 controls the passage of water from the reservoir 2 to the channel 222 and the module 5.
- This valve has a passage orifice 81 which can be closed by a needle 82 moved by a bimetallic strip 83 sensitive to temperature of the heating element 3.
- the anti-drip valve is open when the iron is ready to iron with steam, closed when the iron is too cold.
- the drip device comprises a rod 4 biased downwards by a spring 9, a control 6 moving the rod 4 axially, a module 5 biased downwards by a spring 7 less hard than the previous.
- the rod 4 has over a part of its length a U 41 perpendicular to its axis. This U introduced into a groove 210 of the reservoir, ensures the immobilization of the rod 4 in rotation.
- the upper end 42 of the rod 4 is bent to rest on a cam 61 of the control 6.
- a washer 10 constitutes with a seal 11 the support of the spring 9 on the tank part 21 while a stamping 8 of the rod 4 constitutes its support on the rod 4.
- the stamping 8 also serves as a support for the spring 7.
- the control 6 which is better visible in FIG. 5 is a button which can turn on pins 62. Conveniently allowing good integration of control in the iron housing, the journal axis intersects the axis of the rod 4 at an oblique and the cam 61 is drawn accordingly.
- the cam 61 has a surface 610 which lifts the rod by its end 42 with a first slope and a second smooth surface 611 in the continuity of the first surface lifting the rod along a second slope which is steeper than the first.
- the slight slope of the surface 610 allows the rod 4 to be held in the position where it has been raised, while the steep surface 611 does not allow the position to be held when the user releases the command.
- a cylindrical piece of elastomer 52 is fixed to the end of the module. This part 52 is pierced with a calibrated orifice 520 and constitutes an elastomer seat compressed by the rounded end of the rod 4 pushed by the spring 9. The seal is thus ensured between the drip housing and the part 51 of the module as well as between the drip housing and the orifice 520 supplying the vaporization chamber.
- a slightly conical extension 44 of the rod 4 passes through the orifice 520 and ensures its cleaning at each maneuver while allowing a gradual opening of the passage in the orifice 520 when the rod 4 is raised.
- the outside of the elastomer part pushed down by the spring 7 constitutes on its peripheral circular end a seal which is pressed by compressing on a seat 221 of the lower part 22 of the reservoir.
- the elastomer part obstructs an orifice 220 concentric with the orifice 520 but of much larger section. Sealing is thus ensured between the reservoir and the part 51 of the module as well as between the reservoir and the orifice 220 supplying the vaporization chamber 32.
- the part 52 is continuous and integral between the seat of the rod 4, the bearing on the seat 221 of the part 22 and the orifice 520, so that the seal produced by construction on the part 51 of the module is not critical, no leakage towards the chamber 32 which cannot occur between the range of the rod 4 and the range on the seat 221.
- the piece 52 of LSR silicone elastomer (LSR is used for Liquid Silicon Rubber) has a hardness of the order of 50 Shores.
- the orifice 520 for the vaporization water has a diameter of the order of 1 to 1.5 millimeters to control flow rates of the order of 25 to 30 grams of water per minute.
- the end of the rod 4 rests on a conical seat of the part 52 whose angle at the top is approximately 60 ° allowing good support of the edges on the part 51 of the module 5.
- the flow orifice 220 of the self-cleaning water has a diameter of the order of 5 millimeters.
- the part 52 rests on a conical seat 221 whose angle at the top is of the order of 75 ° for good centering and good compression of the part 52 under the action of the spring 7.
- the rod 4 rests on its seat on a zone higher than the bearing zone of the elastomer part 52 on the cone 221. From this arrangement it follows that the part 52 is everywhere compressed at rest under the action of the springs.
- the water contained in the tank 2 is stopped by the anti-drip valve 80 and the seal 70 and cannot flood the vaporization chamber 32.
- the water contained in the tank 2 passes through the anti-drip valve 80 then enters via the channel 222 into the chimney containing the drip device.
- Figure 4c shows the maximum position of the drip when the iron vaporizes at full speed continuously. This position is the end of spraying stroke.
- the extension 44 of the rod 4 has completely cleared the orifice 520 and the water flows at maximum speed towards the vaporization chamber.
- the lip 53 of the module 5 is at one end of the groove 43 of the rod 4 while the upper end 42 of the rod 4 is at the limit of the surfaces 610 and 611 of the cam 61.
