Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Vorrichtung zum Bügeln von Wäsche, wenigstens umfassend eine Bügelsohle, welche wenigstens eine Öffnung zum Dampfaustritt aufweist, ein Heizelement zum Beheizen der Bügelsohle, einen Wassertank, ein Tropfventil, eine Dampfkammer, eine Wasserdurchführung mittels derer Wasser aus dem Wassertank über das Tropfventil zur Dampferzeugung in die Dampfkammer überführbar ist, ein Dampfmengenstellteil, mithilfe dessen über eine Betätigung einer Ventilstange die über das Tropfventil eintropfende Wassermenge steuerbar ist.The invention relates to an electrical device for ironing laundry, comprising at least a soleplate having at least one opening for steam outlet, a heating element for heating the soleplate, a water tank, a drip valve, a steam chamber, a water passage by means of which water from the water tank on the Drip valve for generating steam in the steam chamber can be converted, a steam flow setting part, by means of which the amount dripping on the drip valve via an actuation of a valve stem is controllable.
Elektrische Vorrichtungen zum Bügeln von Wäsche sind im Stand der Technik bekannt. Diese weisen teilweise Vorrichtungen zum Spülen auf. Diese Vorrichtungen dienen dem Zweck, eine größere Menge kalten Wassers in die heiße Dampfkammer zu spülen, damit lose Kalkpartikel und Flusen ausgewaschen werden. Gleichzeitig werden entstandene Kalkschichten durch den plötzlich eintretenden Temperaturschock, der aus dem Temperaturunterschied zwischen der beheizten Dampfkammer und dem einströmenden kalten Wasser resultiert, aufgesprengt und die Partikel werden anschließend ausgespült. Diesbezüglich sei beispielsweise auf die
Ein anderer Teil elektrischer Vorrichtungen zum Bügeln von Wäsche umfasst ein Tropfstoppventil, welches sich in der Wasserdurchführung befindet, und sich oberhalb einer definierten Temperatur öffnet und unterhalb einer definierten Temperatur schließt sowie ein separates Mittel zum Spülen, welches sich außerhalb der Wasserdurchführung befindet, und durch die Wasser direkt aus dem Wassertank in die Dampfkammer überführbar ist. Diesbezüglich sei beispielsweise auf die
Andere elektrische Vorrichtungen zum Bügeln von Wäsche sind schließlich aus der
Diese bekannten Vorrichtungen weisen jedoch eine Reihe von Nachteilen auf.However, these known devices have a number of disadvantages.
So sind die Vorrichtungen, bei denen - wie in der
Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Dampfkammer zur Verfügung zu stellen, die eine effektive Reinigung bewirkt, einfach zu bedienen ist und kostengünstig gefertigt werden kann.Based on this, the present invention has the object to provide a device for cleaning the steam chamber available, which causes effective cleaning, easy to use and can be manufactured inexpensively.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Vorrichtung zum Bügeln von Wäsche umfasst wenigstens:
- eine Bügelsohle, welche wenigstens eine Öffnung zum Dampfaustritt aufweist,
- ein Heizelement zum Beheizen der Bügelsohle,
- einen Wassertank,
- ein Tropfventil,
- eine Dampfkammer,
- eine Wasserdurchführung, mittels derer Wasser aus dem Wassertank über das Tropfventil zur Dampferzeugung in die Dampfkammer überführbar ist,
- ein Dampfmengenstellteil, mithilfe dessen über eine Betätigung einer Ventilstange die über das Tropfventil eintropfende Wassermenge steuerbar ist,
- ein Tropfstoppventil, welches sich in der Wasserdurchführung befindet, und sich oberhalb einer definierten Temperatur öffnet und unterhalb einer definierten Temperatur schließt,
- sowie ein separates Mittel zum Spülen, welches sich außerhalb der Wasserdurchführung befindet, und durch die Wasser direkt aus dem Wassertank in die Dampfkammer überführbar ist,
- dass über ein Anheben der Ventilstange ein Verschluss des Mittels zum Spülen geöffnet werden kann, so dass durch dieses Mittel zum Spülen eine größere Menge Wasser direkt in die Dampfkammer überführbar ist.
- a soleplate, which has at least one opening for steam outlet,
- a heating element for heating the soleplate,
- a water tank,
- a drip valve,
- a steam chamber,
- a water passage, by means of which water from the water tank via the drip valve for generating steam in the steam chamber is convertible,
- a Dampfmengenstellteil, by means of which via an actuation of a valve rod, the amount of water dripping over the drip valve is controllable,
- a drip stop valve, which is located in the water passage, and opens above a defined temperature and closes below a defined temperature,
- and a separate means for rinsing, which is located outside the water passage, and is transferred by the water directly from the water tank in the steam chamber,
- a closure of the flushing means can be opened by raising the valve rod, so that a larger amount of water can be transferred directly into the steam chamber by means of this flushing means.
Dadurch wird gegenüber aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte, ein Tropfstoppventil umfassende Vorrichtungen zum Bügeln ein deutlich verbesserter Bedienkomfort erzielt. Dadurch, dass ein separates Mittel zum Spülen über ein Anheben der Ventilstange geöffnet werden kann, wird eine technisch einfache, kostengünstige und effektive Möglichkeit der Reinigung zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Zahl der Bedienelemente auf der Oberfläche der Vorrichtung zum Bügeln bleibt begrenzt, so dass der Anwender nicht durch ein weiteres Bedienelement zum Auslösen der Spülfunktion irritiert werden kann. Da das Mittel zum Spülen separat von der Tropfvorrichtung ausgestaltet ist, kann es mit einer größeren Gestaltungsfreiheit ausgeführt werden, sowohl hinsichtlich der Größe der Öffnung, durch die Wasser hindurch tritt sowie des Abstandes zwischen Tropfvorrichtung und Spülvorrichtung.As a result, a considerably improved operating comfort is achieved compared with devices known from the prior art which comprise a drip-stop valve for ironing. The fact that a separate means for rinsing can be opened by lifting the valve stem, a technically simple, inexpensive and effective way of cleaning is provided. The number of operating elements on the surface of the ironing device remains limited, so that the user can not be irritated by another operating element for triggering the rinsing function. Since the means for rinsing is configured separately from the dripping device, it can be carried out with greater freedom of design, both with regard to the size of the opening through which water passes and the distance between the dripping device and the rinsing device.
Dadurch dass das Wasser, welches der Spülung der Dampfkammer zur Kalkentfernung dient, an einer anderen Stelle in die Dampfkammer gelangt als das Wasser, welches zur Dampferzeugung in die Kammer gelangt, ist es möglich, eine größere Menge zur Spülung in die Kammer zu bringen und somit das Spülen der Kammer wirkungsvoller zu gestalten.Characterized that the water, which serves to rinse the steam chamber for limescale, enters at a different location in the steam chamber as the water, which passes to generate steam in the chamber, it is possible to bring a larger amount for flushing in the chamber and thus to make the flushing of the chamber more effective.
Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn das separate Mittel zum Spülen eine Feder umfasst.It has proved to be advantageous if the separate means for rinsing comprises a spring.
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei erwiesen, wenn ein Verschluss des separaten Mittels zum Spülen über die Feder erfolgt, und/oder eine Rückführung des Mittels zum Spülen von einem geöffneten in einen geschlossenen Zustand über die Feder ausführbar ist. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass im regulären Bügelbetrieb das separate Mittel zuverlässig schließt und ein unbeabsichtigtes Eindringen von Wasser vermeiden wird. Zugleich wird sichergestellt, dass nach Abschluss der Spülfunktion das separate Mittel ebenfalls wieder zuverlässig schließt.It has proved to be particularly advantageous if a closure of the separate means for rinsing via the spring takes place, and / or a return of the means for rinsing from an open to a closed state via the spring is executable. This ensures that in regular ironing operation, the separate means closes reliably and will prevent inadvertent ingress of water. At the same time it is ensured that after completion of the rinsing function, the separate means also reliably closes again.
Als vorteilhaft hat es sich weiterhin erwiesen, wenn die Ventilstange über ein radförmiges Stellteil anhebbar ist. Dadurch kann die Bedienung der Spülfunktion in einfacher Weise in die Regulierung der Dampffunktion integriert werden. Dadurch wird es dem Anwender ermöglicht, mit einer einfachen Betätigung des radförmigen Stellteils die Spülfunktion auszulösen. Es kann auch mit einer Betätigung des radförmigen Stellteils die Spülfunktion wieder abgeschlossen werden.It has also proven to be advantageous if the valve rod can be raised via a wheel-shaped actuating part. This allows the operation of the flushing function in a simple manner the regulation of the steam function will be integrated. This allows the user to initiate the flushing function with a simple operation of the wheel-shaped actuating part. It can also be completed with an actuation of the wheel-shaped actuator, the rinse function again.
Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die elektrische Vorrichtung zum Bügeln ein Hinweismittel aufweist, welches den Anwender darauf hinweist, wenn die Durchführung einer Spülfunktion erforderlich ist. Dadurch kann sicher gestellt werden, dass der Anwender eine verlässliche Information erhält, wann die Durchführung eines Spülprogramms erforderlich ist. Beschädigungen der Vorrichtung zum Bügeln werden so wirkungsvoll vermieden.It has proved to be advantageous if the electric ironing device has an indicating means which informs the user when it is necessary to carry out a rinsing function. This can ensure that the user receives reliable information as to when it is necessary to carry out a wash program. Damage to the ironing device can be effectively avoided.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn der Hinweis an den Anwender, dass eine Durchführung einer Spülfunktion erforderlich ist, optisch und/oder akustisch erfolgt. Dies kann z.B. über ein Signallämpchen, welches zum Zwecke der Energieeinsparung eine LED-Leuchte sein kann, erfolgen oder über einen charakteristischen Signalton.It is of particular advantage in this case if the indication to the user that a rinsing function is required is carried out visually and / or acoustically. This can e.g. via a signal lamp, which may be an LED light for the purpose of energy saving, done or via a distinctive beep.
Von ganz besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn die Ermittlung, wann eine Spülfunktion erforderlich ist, in Abhängigkeit einer gemessenen Zeitspanne und/oder gemessener technischer Parameter der Vorrichtung erfolgt. Dies kann z.B. dadurch erfolgen, dass die Vorrichtung zum Bügeln ein Mittel zur Bestimmung der Betriebszeit aufweist, und nach Ablauf einer definierten Betriebszeit, z.B. nach 100 Betriebsstunden, den Anwender informiert, dass eine Durchführung einer Spülfunktion erforderlich ist. Die Ermittlung, ob das Durchführen einer Spülfunktion erforderlich ist, kann aber auch besonders vorteilhaft in Abhängigkeit von gemessenen technischen Parametern erfolgen. Dies bedeutet, dass die Vorrichtung zum Bügeln technische Werte Parameter, die sich bei Vorliegen einer Kalkschicht verändern, z.B. die elektrische Leitfähigkeit oder die Wärmeleitfähigkeit.It is of very particular advantage in this case if the determination as to when a rinsing function is required takes place as a function of a measured time span and / or measured technical parameters of the device. This can e.g. in that the ironing device has a means for determining the operating time, and after a defined operating time, e.g. After 100 hours of operation, inform the user that a purge function is required. However, the determination as to whether it is necessary to carry out a rinsing function can also be carried out particularly advantageously as a function of measured technical parameters. This means that the device for ironing technical values parameters which change in the presence of a Kalkschicht, e.g. the electrical conductivity or the thermal conductivity.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Vorrichtung zum Bügeln eine elektrisch betriebene Pumpe auf, mittels derer die Spülfunktion verstärkbar ist. Dadurch wird es ermöglicht, die Spülfunktion noch schneller und effektiver ablaufen zu lassen.In a preferred embodiment, the device for ironing on an electrically operated pump, by means of which the rinsing function can be amplified. This makes it possible to run the rinse function even faster and more effective.
Dabei kann die elektrisch betriebene Pumpe das Wasser auch in Intervallen durch die Dampfkammer spülen.The electrically operated pump can also flush the water through the steam chamber at intervals.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht bei einer Vorrichtung zum Bügeln in effektiver und kostengünstiger Weise eine Spülfunktion zur Entfernung von Verkalkungen.The present invention, in an ironing apparatus, effectively and inexpensively provides a scavenging function for removing scale.
