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

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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
