Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric ironing device with an automatic on / off system.
- an electric ironing device comprising: a housing with a handle; a soleplate; an electric heater; and an automatic on / off system controlled by a touch sensor that outputs a touch signal when touched.
- the touch sensor is disposed on the handle and outputs a touch signal when touched.
- a switch is operably coupled to the touch sensor and automatically shuts the heater off with a time delay when a touch signal from the touch sensor fails. Further, the switch is for turning on or holding the electric heater when the touch sensor outputs a touch signal.
- the touch sensor monitors whether the ironing device is being used or not.
- the automatic on / off system or its switch automatically shuts off the electrical heating device with a time delay if the ironing device is not used for a certain period of time, ie. if that
- the automatic power on / off system automatically turns on or holds the electric heater on when the ironing device is used, i. when the touch sensor provides a touch signal.
- Hot ironing devices especially when turned off and temporarily unused when turned on, present a potential risk of injury since a user or other person may easily be burned by contact with the parked ironing device. In addition, a hot and left unattended for a long time ironing device damage
- the present invention is therefore based on the object or the technical problem of providing a secure electric ironing device with a reduced energy consumption and yet high ironing performance.
- the electric ironing device in particular an electric steam iron or an electric steam ironing station, comprises: an electric heating device; and an automatic on / off system controlled by a touch sensor that outputs a touch signal when touched, for automatically turning on and off the heater; wherein the automatic power on / off system is adapted and adapted to immediately turn on the heater when the touch sensor outputs a touch signal, and to turn off the heater immediately when a touch signal from the touch sensor is absent.
- "Immediately turn on” or "switch off immediately” means in the context of the invention that the corresponding switching operation takes place immediately and without a device technology or circuit technology forced switching delay. In practice, the corresponding switching operation therefore preferably takes place within milliseconds.
- the touch sensor is preferably designed as a hand sensor or finger sensor and preferably has a plurality of distributed on the handle touch-sensitive individual elements or detector elements.
- the solution according to the invention provides a safer electrical ironing device with a reduced energy consumption and nevertheless a high ironing capacity in relation to an overall usage process.
- the risk of damage to objects and the risk of fire can be reduced, which arise when the first hot ironing device is turned off and left unattended for a long time. Because in the case of non-use ironing device according to the invention is turned off much faster and thus can also cool faster than a conventional ironing device.
- the automatic power on / off system immediately turns on the electric heater when a touch signal is present, ie, when a user actually uses the ironing apparatus, only for heating the ironing apparatus or reheating or keeping a predetermined ironing temperature constant Consumes energy when it is actually required for ironing or steam ironing.
- an ironing apparatus having improved energy consumption performance may be provided, ultimately resulting in reduced overall energy consumption throughout an overall usage process (i.e., from start-up for ironing operation to retirement).
- Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an inventive
- Fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of essential components of the ironing apparatus of Fig. 1 according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram of essential components of an ironing apparatus according to the invention according to a second embodiment.
- FIG. 1 a first embodiment of an ironing apparatus according to the invention is shown schematically, which is an electric steam iron 2.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of essential components of the steam iron 2 according to the invention of Fig. 1.
- the steam iron 2 has, inter alia, a housing 4 with a handle 6, a soleplate 8 with steam outlet openings, a temperature-adjusting knob 10, further controls 12, and in its interior, an electric heater 14, a vaporization liquid tank, and a steam generation system.
- Fig. 1 is also a part of a led out of the housing 4 out
- the handle 6 is formed in two parts and has an upper part 6a and an integrally formed with the housing 4 lower part 6b.
- the steam iron 2 is further equipped with an automatic on / off control system 20 controlled by a touch sensor 24, which outputs a touch signal when touched, for automatically turning on and off the heater 14.
- the automatic on / off system 20 is designed and adapted to heat the heater 14 immediately
- the touch sensor 24 is arranged on the handle 6 and thus forms a hand sensor. However, the touch sensor 24 could also be designed completely or partially as a finger sensor. Further, the touch sensor 24, which is configured in this embodiment as a capacitive touch sensor, a plurality of distributed on the handle 6 touch-sensitive individual elements 28. These are at an upper portion of the handle 6, that is here at its rounded top 6a, respectively. In the present example, five strip-shaped individual elements 28 are provided (of which only three can be seen in the Fig. 1 due to the perspective view), but the invention is not limited to this shape and number. The individual elements 28 are preferably made of an electrically conductive material, in particular a metal material or an electrically conductive plastic.
- the automatic on / off system 20 includes, among other things, a controller 22 and a temperature controller for controlling a predetermined temperature of the electric heater 14.
- the temperature controller is configured in this example as a thermostat 18, which is integrated into the automatic on / off system 20 and forms a functional unit with this.
- the electric heater 14 and the temperature adjusting knob 10 are operatively coupled to the thermostat 18. Via the temperature setting knob 10, a desired (steam) ironing temperature of the iron 2 and thus a predetermined temperature of the electric heating device 14 is set.
- the thermostat 18 controls the set temperature of the electric heater 14 and thus the soleplate 8 and the steam generating system.
- the thermostat 18, which is functionally coupled to the automatic on / off switching system 20, has a temperature sensor T for directly or indirectly measuring a temperature of the heating device 14.
- the temperature sensor T outputs a temperature signal to the automatic on / off system 20 and its control device 22.
- the temperature sensor T is an electronic temperature sensor, but the invention is not limited to this type of sensor.
- the automatic power on / off system 20 includes a single switch S for automatically turning the heater 14 on and off.
- the switch S is operatively coupled to the touch sensor 24 via the controller 22.
- the switch S is actuated by means of an actuating device 26 under switching conditions described in more detail below.
- the switch S is designed as an electronic or electromagnetic switch.
- the actuator 26 is therefore a part of the switch S or its switching electronics or switching mechanism itself. In other types of switches, however, other actuators may be used, including mechanical, electrical, electro-mechanical, electromagnetic, opto-electronic, actuators, etc., as well as hybrid forms thereof ,
- the automatic on / off system 20 is further equipped in the present embodiment with a detector which is designed and adapted to detect a first commissioning of the iron 2 and to provide a corresponding detection signal to the control device 22.
- a detector which is designed and adapted to detect a first commissioning of the iron 2 and to provide a corresponding detection signal to the control device 22.
- "initial start-up" means that a user connects the iron 2 to an electrical power supply and / or first switches on the connected iron (for example by switching the temperature setting knob 10 of one
- Neutral position e.g., OFF
- the touch sensor 24 first touches the touch sensor 24 when the iron is connected or first turned on, and thus the touch sensor 24 first outputs a first touch signal.
- the said detector in this example, is formed by a counter integrated into or associated with the control device 22. If the iron is (or is) disconnected from the mains, this counter will be reset to zero (0). If the user now puts the iron into operation for the first time by, in the present exemplary embodiment, a) first connecting the iron to the electrical power supply; and b) by first switching the temperature setting knob 10 from a neutral position (OFF) to a position for a particular ironing or steam ironing temperature; and / or c) touches the touch sensor 24 for the first time, so that it consequently outputs a first touch signal for the first time, the counter of the control device 22 receives a corresponding signal which for example advances the counter to one (1).
- the automatic on / off system 20 is further adapted and adapted to immediately turn on the Heater 14 by means of the single switch S in a detected by the detector initial start-up of the iron and as long as ON to HOLD and fully heat until the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T. reaches a predetermined temperature setpoint.
- This setpoint may e.g. be the predetermined (steam) ironing temperature by means of the temperature setting knob 10 predetermined. If this temperature setpoint value (which may also be within a certain temperature tolerance range) is reached, the automatic on / off switching system 20 automatically switches the heating device off again by means of the switch S. This is done even if a user holds the iron 2 still gripped on the handle 6 in the hand, i. even if the touch sensor 24 still outputs a touch signal. This serves to avoid further heating and consequently overheating of the heating device 14 or the soleplate 8 2.
- the automatic power on / off system 20 is configured and adapted to immediately turn the heater 14 ON when both the touch sensor 24 outputs a touch signal and the touch sensor 24 from Temperature sensor T measured temperature is below a predetermined temperature threshold (eg below a set desired steam ironing temperature). This makes it possible to heat the heater only then and to consume energy only if the current temperature of the heater 14 and thus the soleplate 8 and the steam generating system for a current (steam) ironing process is too low AND the user the iron 2 actually used in this moment.
- a predetermined temperature threshold eg below a set desired steam ironing temperature
- the steam iron 2 of the present invention will not heat up and consume energy when, for example, it is only turned off and the temperature drops to a lower value than said predetermined temperature threshold.
- the heating device will only be turned ON and reheated if the current temperature falls below said predetermined temperature threshold - but then immediately.
- the automatic power on / off system 20 is further configured and adapted to immediately turn OFF the heater 14 when the touch sensor 24 outputs a touch signal AND the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T is above a predetermined temperature
- Temperature threshold is. This prevents unnecessary heating of the heater 14 and hence unnecessary power consumption if the heater 14 already has a sufficient temperature; that is, when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T is already within the predetermined temperature threshold (e.g., the desired vapor temperature set).
- Ironing temperature is equal to or above this temperature.
- the automatic power on / off system 20 is further configured to operate in the presence of a touch signal from the touch sensor 24 a) to suppress an immediate activation of the heating device (14), ie to keep the heating device (14) OFF when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T is above the predetermined temperature threshold value; and (b) immediately turning the heater 14 ON again when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T exceeds the predetermined temperature limit.
- Threshold reached again i. here, has dropped to this value.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of essential components of an ironing device according to the invention in accordance with a second embodiment. This variant largely corresponds to that according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the same or corresponding components are identified by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2, and a renewed explanation of these components will be omitted.
- the automatic on / off switching system 20 has two switches S1, S2 connected in series for the automatic switching on and off of the heating device 14.
- the first switch S1 is in this example an electronic switch, the
- Touch sensor 24 is assigned and can be controlled or actuated via this. When the touch sensor 24 outputs a touch signal, the switch S1 is closed. If the touch sensor 24 does not output a touch signal, the switch S1 is open.
- the second switch S2 is in this example a mechanical switch associated with the thermostat 18.
- the actuating device 26 of the switch S2 is essentially formed by a bimetal element of the thermostat 18 in this example.
- This bimetal element which simultaneously functions here as a temperature sensor T, is coupled to the temperature setting knob 10 and can be manipulated by it. Depending on the set (steam) ironing temperature, the bimetallic element can thus open and close the switch S2 as a function of the temperature of the heating device 14 or the soleplate 8. If the temperature detected by the bimetallic element in its function as a temperature sensor T is below a predetermined temperature threshold value (eg below a set desired steam ironing temperature), the switch S2 is closed. On the other hand, if the detected temperature has reached or exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold, the switch S2 is open.
- a predetermined temperature threshold value eg below a set desired steam ironing temperature
- Heating device 14 switches.
- the ironing device according to the invention may also assume other than the above concretely described embodiments.
- features of the individual embodiments can also be combined with each other.
- the touch sensor can optionally be combined with a position sensor or motion sensor, which detects the position or movement of the ironing device and allows automatic shutdown of the electric heating device also in dependence of the position of the ironing device or in the absence of movement of the ironing device.
- the ironing device according to the invention may also have a signal generator which signals the user to heat the iron and / or a certain (steam) ironing temperature.
- the solution according to the invention can also be used in ironing devices, which are so-called constant-temperature irons or steam irons, which manage without temperature-adjusting elements and optionally also without temperature sensors.
- ironing devices which are so-called constant-temperature irons or steam irons, which manage without temperature-adjusting elements and optionally also without temperature sensors.
- the soleplate for all ironing or steam ironing operations is maintained at a single, "constant" temperature, which can not be changed manually by the user, but this temperature can vary within a narrow temperature range, for example, the constant (steam) Ironing temperature in a range of about 180 0 C to 190 0 C.
- the automatic on / off system can in turn have a detector for detecting a first start-up of the iron, as already described above in connection with FIGS
- the automatic on / off system may include a time switching system associated with the heating means for establishing a predetermined duty cycle of the heating means
- the automatic on / off system is adapted and adapted, at one of
- the heater immediately START UP to HOLD by the time switch system for the predetermined duty cycle (eg 45 seconds) TO KEEP ON (even if during this predetermined period of time the user puts the iron back out of hand, ie, if the touch signal disappears during this predetermined period of time), and after the predetermined duty cycle has elapsed (ie, when the predetermined constant / steam / ironing temperature has been reached) to immediately turn OFF again.
- said time switching system as in the previous example mentioned is preferably used in ironing devices that have no temperature sensor for the heating device or the soleplate, they can in principle also be used in ironing devices application, which are equipped with a temperature sensor or temperature controller (eg a thermostat).
- the automatic power on / off system 20 is configured and adapted to immediately turn the heater 14 ON when the touch sensor 24 outputs a touch signal and to HOLD and fully heat until the temperature of the heater 14 reaches a predetermined temperature - Has reached setpoint value (or the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T has reached a predetermined temperature setpoint value), and then the heating device 14 regardless of whether the touch sensor 24 outputs a touch signal or not, immediately OFF.
- the immediate power-up 14 can be optionally suppressed similarly as described in the previous embodiments.
- the heating device 14 is switched off immediately even if the user still holds the iron in his hand and the touch sensor 24 consequently outputs a touch signal, since the temperature of the heating device 14 is already sufficiently high, and thus another switched on -keep and heating up would be superfluous. Likewise, or as an additional technical effect, the heating device 14 is consequently switched off immediately when the user no longer holds the iron in his hand
- the temperature values at which the heater 14 is turned on or off may also be set within a predetermined temperature threshold range.
