Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steam iron comprising a heating body provided with a vaporization chamber and relates more particularly to an iron with a scaling indicator to alert the user to the need for perform a maintenance operation.
  • Such an indicator of scaling has the advantage of regularly encouraging the user to perform a self-cleaning operation of the iron to remove scale particles accumulated in the steam chamber.
  • the invention which follows aims to propose a steam iron equipped with a scaling indicator activated according to a different solution which is simple and economical to implement, and which allows to obtain a better match between the actual state of scaling of the iron and the activation time of the scaling indicator.
  • a steam iron having a scaling indicator and comprising a heating body provided with a vaporization chamber for the production of steam, the heating body comprising an electric heating resistor whose operation is regulated. by a thermostat, characterized in that it is provided with means making it possible to count the number of cycles of closing or opening of the thermostat and in that the scaling indicator is activated as a function of the number of cycles of the thermostat.
  • the iron comprises a cord for its connection to an electrical network and means for counting the number of connections or disconnections of the cord to the electrical network to determine the number of ironing sessions and the Scaling indicator is activated based on the number of cumulative thermostat cycles and the number of cumulative ironing sessions.
  • the scaling indicator is activated when the number of cumulative cycles of the thermostat exceeds a predetermined threshold and the number of ironing sessions is greater than a given value.
  • the means for counting the number of cycles of closing, or opening, of the thermostat are integrated in an electronic circuit controlling the activation of the scaling indicator.
  • the electronic circuit receives from the thermostat the information relating to its closure and / or its opening.
  • the electronic circuit comprises a non-volatile memory in which is stored information relating to the cumulative number of cycles of the thermostat and / or the number of cumulative ironing sessions.
  • the scaling indicator is a light disposed on the body of the iron.
  • the activation threshold of the scaling indicator is modulated according to the degree of hardness of the water introduced into the vaporization chamber which is indicated by the user.
  • the iron comprises a button whose actuation for a predetermined duration resets the calculation of the number of cycles of the thermostat.
  • the button performing the reset also constitutes a self-cleaning button causing the sudden arrival of a large amount of water in the vaporization chamber
  • Iron represented schematically in figure 1 , comprises a housing 1 disposed above a sole plate 2 provided with steam outlet holes, not shown in the figure.
  • the sole 2 is in thermal connection with a heating body 3 comprising a vaporization chamber 30 conventionally closed by a plate 4.
  • the heating body 3 comprises a heating resistor 31 fed by a thermostat 6 in thermal relation with the heating body, the thermostat 6 ensuring the regulation of the temperature of the base 2 around a set temperature defined by the user by means of a a button 60.
  • the iron is connected to an electrical network by a cord 5.
  • the housing 1 contains a water tank 8 provided with a filling orifice 8a opening on the front face of the iron and comprises a device 9 which drips a passage of water from the tank 8 to the vaporization chamber 30, this device typically having an orifice whose section can be reduced by a needle.
  • the latter comprises a scaling indicator consisting of an indicator 10 which is activated by an electronic circuit 11.
  • This electronic circuit 11 is advantageously supplied with electricity. by the electricity network when the cord 5 of the steam iron is connected to the network.
  • the electronic circuit 11 is connected to the thermostat 6 and receives from the latter the information relating to its closure or its opening.
  • the electronic circuit 11 counts, for example by means of a microprocessor, the number of cycles of closure, or opening, of the thermostat 6 and then stores in a memory the cumulative cycle number of the thermostat 6 since the first use of iron.
  • the electronic circuit 11 comprises a non-volatile memory, such as a flash memory or EEPROM.
  • the electronic circuit 11 may also include an autonomous power supply device, such as a battery or a capacitor, for storing the data in memory when the power cord 5 of the steam iron is disconnected from the network.
  • the electronic circuit 11 activates the indicator light 10, to invite the operator to carry out a descaling operation, when the number of cycles of closing, or opening, of the thermostat 6, accumulated on the different ironing sessions, reaches a predetermined threshold.
  • the activation of the indicator 10 is materialized by a flashing of the indicator 10 so as to attract the attention of the user.
  • the user is then invited to perform a descaling operation of the iron, for example by setting the thermostat 6 to the maximum temperature and by pressing a self-cleaning button 12 provided on the iron so as to cause, in a manner known in a sudden inflow of water from the tank 8 to the vaporization chamber 30 to obtain a detachment of the scale particles and their evacuation through the steam holes of the sole 2.
  • the electronic circuit 11 is connected to the self-cleaning button 12 and performs, upon actuation of the self-cleaning button for a predetermined duration, a reset of the memory in which the number of thermostat cycles 6.
  • the value of the threshold from which the indicator 10 is activated can, for example, be obtained experimentally by operating irons at full steam with moderately calcareous water and measuring the threshold at which the scaling condition of the iron requires a descaling operation.
  • the electronic circuit 11 also comprises a counter storing the number of times the iron is connected to the electrical network by means of the electrical cord 5, which normally corresponds to the number of ironing sessions performed. .
  • the indicator 10 scale indicator is activated when the number of closing cycles of the thermostat 6 exceeds a predetermined threshold and the number of ironing sessions performed is greater than a given value. It is therefore necessary that these two conditions be checked for the indicator to be activated. This prevents the activation of the indicator after only a few ironing sessions in the case, for example, where the user has long left the iron on his heel, without using it, so that the thermostat could have a number of closing cycles in a relatively short time interval.
  • these X, Y activation thresholds of the scaling indicator light are modulated in time so that the activation of the scaling indicator takes place at relatively long intervals when the iron is new. then at increasingly close intervals when the iron becomes older and therefore more scaled.
  • the electronic circuit 11 automatically performs, upon the subsequent connection of the cord 5 to the electrical network, a reset of the memories in which the number of cycles of the thermostat 6 are stored. and the number of ironing sessions.
  • the iron may also comprise means allowing the user to indicate the degree of hardness of the water introduced into the reservoir, so that the hardness of the water can be taken into account by the electronic circuit. 11 to adapt the activation threshold of indicator 10 scaling indicator depending on the hardness of the water.
  • Such an iron in which the scale indicator is activated from a predetermined number of cycles of closing or opening of the thermostat and the number of ironing sessions has the advantage of being simple and economical to achieve and of allow a good correlation to be obtained between the time when the scale warning light is activated and the actual state of scaling of the iron.
  • the heat exchange between the body and the vaporization chamber is degraded and the thermostat tends to cycle faster which leads to rapid activation of the scaling indicator.
  • the mechanical thermostat of the iron may be replaced by an electronic thermostat connected to temperature sensors.
