Definitions

  • the present invention has as its object an ironing system. Particularly, the present invention has as its object an ironing system intended for a household application.
  • Ironing systems comprising a boiler necessary for the production of water vapour and, in some cases, a tank for water containment.
  • the vapour produced by the boiler is conveyed to a dispensing plate which comprises a special chamber to collect and dispense the same vapour.
  • the known ironing systems further comprise a resistor associated to the plate in order to heat it according to a predetermined temperature.
  • the dispensing of vapour occurs through a plurality of through-holes obtained through a bottom wall of the plate.
  • the holes have a vapour inlet section facing said chamber, and an outlet section obtained on a outer surface of the bottom wall. Such outer surface defines an ironing surface.
  • the thus-dispensed vapour is characterized by a high rate and a high temperature, since, before escaping, it is exposed to the high temperatures induced by the resistor.
  • the plate is further provided with a thermally insulated handle to allow a user to manoeuvre the same plate during the ironing operations.
  • Suitable control members are associated to the plate to allow the user to select, for example, the plate temperature and/or the dispensed amount of vapour.
  • control members comprise a thermostat for the adjustment of the plate temperature, and a tap arranged upstream said chamber to adjust the vapour flow.
  • boiler and tank are distinct from the plate, and are fixed.
  • Systems are further known, in which tank and boiler are integrated to the plate.
  • the ironing systems of the known type while they allow adjusting the plate temperature and the dispensed vapour flow, however they provide a single type of vapour, in terms of temperature, rate and humidity of the latter, as well as relative to the position and direction of vapour delivery.
  • the known ironing systems ensure an extremely limited flexibility relative to the characteristics of the different fabrics to be ironed.
  • the vapour dispensed by the known systems is directly determined by the temperature that is set on the thermostat of the ironing system, and therefore it is generally overheated vapour at high pressure, temperature and rate, and low humidity when the thermostat is set on the maximum temperature (about 210°C), whereas it is generally a very humid vapour (proximate to saturation) at a relatively low temperature and low pressure and rate when the thermostat is set on the minimum temperature (about 120°C).
  • the known heating systems do not allow obtaining a type of vapour that is independent from the plate temperature as set on the ironing system thermostat.
  • vapour which is dependent on the plate temperature, while being adapted for ironing many kinds of fabric, is however unsuitable to iron particularly delicate fabrics, such as synthetic or silk fabrics, or particularly resistant, such as cotton or linen.
  • the technical task of the present invention is to propose an ironing system which is free from the cited drawback.
  • WO 2004/085732 A discloses an ironing system having features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • an ironing system according to the present invention has been generally indicated with 1.
  • the ironing system 1 comprises a boiler 2, necessary to produce water vapour, which withdraws the necessary water from a tank (not shown) integrated in the boiler 2 and accessible through a plug 3.
  • the ironing system 1 further comprises an ironing plate 4 connected to the boiler 2 to dispense the produced vapour.
  • the boiler 2 and the plate 4 are detached and distinct.
  • a special hose 5 connects the boiler 2 to the plate 4 to bring the produced vapour to the latter.
  • the plate 4 comprises a main body 6 which is manufactured, by way of example, by melting, and a lid 7 ovelappable to the main body 6.
  • the plate 4 further comprises a bottom wall 8 having an outer surface 8a which defines an ironing surface 9 of the plate 4.
  • the plate 4 bottom wall 8 has a plan essentially isoscele triangular shape with major sides which are rounded and confluent in a vertex 10 arranged at a front portion 4a of the plate 4.
  • a minor side is opposed relative to the cited vertex 10 and is arranged at a rear portion 4b of the plate 4.
  • the plate 4 comprises two side walls 11 connected to the bottom wall 8 and further convergent at the vertex 10 of the bottom wall 8.
  • a rear wall 12 is connected to the side walls 11 and to the bottom wall 8 at the plate 4 rear portion 4b.
  • the bottom wall 8, the side walls 11, and the rear wall 12 are formed in the plate 4 main body 6.
  • the plate 4 further comprises a resistor 13 arranged inside the plate 4.
  • the resistor 13 is symmetrically arranged on the bottom wall 8 relative to a middle plane "P" of the plate 4.
  • the resistor 13 extends on the plate 4 bottom wall 8 along an essentially "U"-shaped path.
  • Suitable electrical connectors 14 allow the electrical supply of the resistor 13.
  • the cited electrical connectors 14 are arranged at the resistor 13 free ends in the rear plate 4 portion 4b.
  • the supply is brought to the plate 4 thanks to an electric cable 15 associated to the hose 5.
  • the resistor 13 heats the plate 4 in accordance with a predetermined temperature as selected from the user.
  • Suitable control means allow selecting and keeping said predetermined temperature.
  • the control means comprise a thermostat (not shown).
  • the plate 4 is provided with a handle 16 to allow a user to manoeuvre the plate 4, thus allowing the ironing operation.
  • the handle 16 is supported to the plate 4 by a bracket 17 rigidly connected to the same plate 4.
  • a cover 18 made in thermo-insulating material wraps the handle 16 so as to avoid bums to the user and to increment the safety conditions of the ironing system 1.
  • the plate 4 comprises a covering guard which is not illustrated in the annexed Figures.
  • the ironing system 1 further comprises first vapour dispensing means "M1", which are associated with the plate 4 and connected to the boiler 2 to dispense a first vapour through the ironing surface 9. More precisely, by “first vapour” is means water vapour having predetermined characteristics relative to, for example, the temperature, pressure, and/or rate, and/or the dispensing position thereof, or the like.
  • the first vapour dispensing means "M1" comprise an overheating chamber 19 which is connected to the boiler 2 to increase the temperature of the vapour to be dispensed.

  • the inlet connector 20 is obtained on the plate 4 lid 7.
  • the overheating chamber 19 comprises a plurality of partition walls 22 which define a labyrinth-shaped path inside the same overheating chamber 19. In this manner, the vapour introduced in the overheating chamber 19 travels a long path 25 before being dispensed.
  • the overheating chamber 19 is obtained in the proximity of the resistor 13.
  • the plate 4 bottom wall 8 and the overheating chamber 19 partition walls 22 are heated, and the vapour, by licking very hot surfaces, increases its own temperature, as well as its own pressure and rate, getting overheated.
  • the vapour is at a temperature ranging between 200 °C and 220 °C.
  • the first vapour is overheated and is characterized by high temperature, pressure and rate and low humidity.
  • the labyrinth path imposed to the vapour by the overheating chamber 19 makes such overheating process quick and efficient.
  • the overheating chamber 19 comprises a dispensing end portion 19a. Such end portion 19a is arranged in the proximity of the plate 4 front portion 4a.

  • the nozzles 23 are in fluidic communication with the overheating chamber 19 end portion 19a.
  • the cited dispensing nozzles 23 have a diameter which is constant and ranging between 1,5 and 3 mm. Preferably, the nozzles 23 diameter ranges between 2 and 2,5 mm.
  • the dispensing nozzles 23 are arranged on the plate 4 in a "V"-configuration with the vertex facing the plate 4 front portion 4.
  • the overheating chamber 19 end portion 19a is as well essentially "V"-shaped.
  • the dispensing nozzles 23 are arranged according to different configurations, such as, for example, arched configurations.
  • the nozzles 23 have respective development axes which are mutually parallel and orthogonal to the ironing surface 9.
  • the dispensing nozzles 23 development axes have such a slope as to define an acute angle with the ironing surface 9.
  • the nozzles 23 development axis is oriented so that the overheated vapour escapes being directed towards the plate 4 vertex 10.
  • the escaped vapour interacts with a major surface of the fabric to be ironed, making the ironing operation more efficient.

  • M2 second vapour dispensing means
  • the second vapour dispensing means "M2" comprise an expansion chamber connected to the boiler 2, which is adapted to reduce at least the vapour temperature and pressure before it is dispensed.
  • the expansion chamber 24 is arranged in fluidic communication with a dispensing chamber 25 to allow the passage and the dispensing of the cooled vapour in the expansion chamber 24.
  • a plurality of through-holes 26 are obtained in the plate 4 and arranged in direct fluidic communication with the dispensing chamber 25 to allow the escape of the cooled vapour.
  • the holes 26 are obtained in the plate 4 bottom wall 8.
  • the holes 26 have an increasing section from the dispensing chamber 25 towards the ironing surface 9. Such holes 26 have an average diameter ranging between 2 and 3,5 mm, preferably between 2,5 and 3 mm.
  • expansion chamber 24 and the dispensing chamber 25 are distinct from the described overheating chamber 19. Similarly, the holes 26 are distinct from the dispensing nozzles 23.
  • the dispensing chamber 25 is integrally obtained in the plate 4. More precisely, the dispensing chamber 25 is defined by its own defining walls 27 obtained in the plate 4 main body 6 and by the cited lid 7.
  • the expansion chamber 24 is arranged outside the plate 4.
  • the expansion chamber 24 is arranged above the plate 4.

  • the pre-chamber 31 allows intercepting optional water fractions in liquid state coming from the boiler 2 Such water fractions, remaining inside the pre-chamber 31, can evaporate before being brought into the expansion chamber 24.
  • the vapour When the vapour enters the expansion chamber 24, the volume which can be taken up by the same increases, consequently the vapour undergoes an expansion. Furthermore, the expansion chamber 24 being at a relatively low temperature, the vapour is also cooled. This lowers the vapour temperature and pressure.
  • the second vapour is characterized by low dispensing temperature and rate and high humidity.
  • the second vapour is thus proximate to the condensation condition, due to the high humidity thereof.
  • the second vapour is at a temperature ranging between 100 °C and 110 °C.

  • the septum 43 is obtained in the plate 4 main body 6 starting from the bottom wall 8. However, the septum 43 does not reach the plate 4 lid 7, in this manner leaving a passage port that allows the vapour passage from the collection portion 41 a to the dispensing portion 41 b, while preventing the passage of an optional fraction of liquid water.
