Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an appliance comprising a vessel in which water is boiled and a scale recovery vessel disposed near the bottom of the vessel, and relates more particularly to an apparatus in which the vessel has an elongated shape that can be extracted or introduced into the vessel through an orifice formed on a side wall of the vessel.
  • Such an apparatus is known from the patent application FR 2,904,683 filed by the applicant and has the advantage of allowing easy cleaning of the tank, the user can easily extract the container to remove scale.
  • Another advantage of such a tartar recovery vessel is to allow the user to visualize the amount of tartar formed in the tank and to adapt accordingly the frequency of the cleaning operations.
  • Such a tartar recovery vessel has the disadvantage of not ensuring perfect retention of the finest tartar particles when significant water movements are generated in the tank so that it is possible that a portion of the particles scale, initially recovered in the recovery tank, escape into the tank during boiling or during transport of the device.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an appliance in which the recovery performance of the tartar recovery vessel is improved.
  • the subject of the invention is a household appliance comprising a tank in which water is boiled and a scale-collecting container placed near the bottom of the tank, the container having an elongated shape that can be extracted. or introduced into the vessel through an orifice formed on a side wall of the vessel, the vessel being engaged in the orifice by an end of the vessel and comprising at least one cavity having an upper opening providing a passage through which the particles of scale are collected in the cavity, characterized in that the upper opening has a passage section reduced in approaching the terminal end of the container.
  • the cavity has an upper portion closed by a retaining wall at the terminal end of the container.
  • the container is, opposite to the end end, secured to a stopper closing the orifice of the vessel.
  • the orifice is disposed near the bottom of the tank and constitutes a drain orifice.
  • the container has a portion bent towards the bottom of the tank near the cap so that the container rests on the bottom of the tank over most of its length when the cap closes. the orifice.
  • the cavity comprising a bottom wall extending on the sides by side walls rising upwards, leaving between them a space defining the upper opening of passage, the side walls being , near the end of the container, folded towards each other so that the space separating the side walls is reduced.
  • the bottom wall is semi-cylindrical.
  • the container successively comprises a central part which is widely open in its upper half, an intermediate part having a narrower opening in its upper half and an end part having a closed upper part.
  • the level of water in the tank is regulated around a mean level h and the side walls are interrupted, at the central part, at a height adapted to come under the average water level h in the tank, and within 5 mm of the latter, when the container rests on the bottom of the tank.
  • the side walls provide between them a space greater than 5 mm at the central part.
  • the side walls are folded parallel to the bottom of the tube and provide between them a gap of less than 3 mm at the intermediate portion of the container.
  • the closed end portion extends over a length greater than 10 mm.
  • the apparatus is an ironing apparatus, the vat for the production of steam being connected to an iron or a steam brush.
  • the figure 1 represents a steam generator under pressure for an ironing apparatus comprising a tank 1 comprising heating means for producing steam under a maximum pressure of the order of 4 or 5 bar, these heating means being conventionally constituted by a resistance heating element U-shaped, shown in dashed lines on the figure 3 , arranged under the bottom of the tank 1.
  • the vessel 1 is advantageously constituted by a lower shell 1A and an upper shell 1B made of stainless steel, welded together, the upper shell 1B of the vessel having a lateral outlet orifice 11 steam on which is fixed a solenoid valve, not shown in the figure, for controlling the sending of steam to an iron.
  • the lower shell 1A of the tank comprises a tubular connector 2 screwed onto an opening formed on a side wall of the tank 1, slightly above the bottom of the tank 1, the tubular connector 2 having a drain orifice 20, visible on the figure 2 closed by a plug 3.
  • connection 2 comprises a water inlet 21 for maintaining a water level in the tank 1 regulated around a mean level h of the order of 12 mm, shown in dotted line on the figure 2 , the water inlet 21 being, in a manner known per se, connected to a pump fed by a reservoir, not shown in the figures.
  • the vessel 1 contains a vessel 4 stainless steel scale recovery integral with the plug 3, the container 4 taking place in a cold zone of the bottom of the tank 1 located midway between the two branches of the heating resistor 10 in form of U and having an elongated shape allowing it to be introduced or extracted from the tank 1 by the discharge orifice 20.
  • the container 4 has the general shape of a truncated tube in its upper part comprising an inflected portion 4A near the cap 3, the container 4 having a terminal end 40 closed by a wall and an opposite end connected to the cap 3 by an axis 30 allowing a free rotation of the container 4 relative to the plug 3 about the axis 30.
  • Such rotational mounting of the container 4 allows the screwing and unscrewing of the cap 3 on a thread surrounding the emptying orifice 20 without driving the container 4 in rotation, the connector 2 having a polarizing element 22 blocking the rotation of the container 4 and now the latter in a predetermined orientation in which the container 4 rests on the bottom of the tank 1 over a major part of its length.
  • the container 4 has a semi-cylindrical bottom wall 41 extending on the sides by side walls 42 rising upwards, leaving between them a space d 1 , d 2 defining an upper passage opening towards a cavity 43 in which the pie particles are collected.
  • the upper opening of the cavity 43 has a passage section which is reduced as it approaches the terminal end 40 of the container, the container 4 advantageously and successively in the longitudinal direction, starting from the inflected portion 4A, a central portion 4B widely open in its upper half, an intermediate portion 4C having a narrower opening and a terminal portion 4D completely closed by a retention wall 44.
  • the drain orifice 20 has a diameter slightly greater than that of the container 4 and the inflated portion 4A of the container is thinned and has a length similar to that of the connector 2 so as to allow easy introduction and extraction of the container 4 in the drain port 20 despite the presence of the inflected portion 4A.
  • the side walls 42 of the container at the central portion 4B rise following the circular curvature of the semicylindrical bottom wall 41 and interrupt at a height close to that of the mean water level h in the tank 1, leaving between them a wide gap d 1 , greater than 5 mm.
  • the side walls 42 at the intermediate portion 4C have a flat portion folded parallel to the bottom of the tank 1 so that a restricted space d 2 between 1 and 3 mm is provided between the straight edges of the side walls 42.
  • the semi-cylindrical bottom wall 41 of the container has a diameter of the order of 12 mm, the central portion 4B extending longitudinally over a length of about 40 mm and having side walls. 42 interrupting at a height of the order of 10 mm by providing between them a space d 1 of about 7 mm, the intermediate portion 4C extending over a length of the order of 30 mm and having side walls 42 folded at mid-height, leaving between them a space d 2 of the order of 3 mm, the closed end portion 4D extending over a length of the order of 10 mm.
  • the inflected portion 4A is disposed at the outlet of the connector 2 and the container 4 is applied against the bottom of the vessel 1 over the major part of its length. It is then in a position to harvest the scale particles present in the tank 1.
  • the start of the heating resistor 10 located under the tank 1 causes the heating up to the boiling of the water located in the immediate vicinity of the branches of the heating resistor 10, this boiling materialized by the formation of vapor bubbles rising towards the surface of the water by lifting the particles of scale which are then brought back to the surface of the water, as is schematically illustrated on the figure 9 .
  • the stirring of the particles by boiling generates a flow transporting the scale particles to a zone of calm situated above the tartar recovery container 4, where the water is quieter because of the distance from this zone with respect to branches of the heating resistor 10, so that the scale particles can be deposited by gravity in the cavity of the recovery container 4.
  • the heavier scale particles are then deposited essentially in the central part 4B of the container at which the space between the side walls 42 is the largest and the height of the side walls 42, close to the average level h in the tank, is optimal for capture the tartar particles by convection when the water boils heavily.
  • the finest scale particles which are more sensitive to the movement of water, tend not to remain trapped in the central part 4B, which has an upper opening that is too large to allow good retention of these particles, but remains trapped in the intermediate portion 4C for which the space between the side walls 42 is reduced.
  • This provides a vessel 4 tartar recovery ensuring both a good recovery and good retention of tartar particles the finest and most important.
  • the closed end portion 4D of the container prevents the tartar accumulated in the cavity 43 from escaping through the end of the container. container 4.
  • Such a tartar recovery container has the advantage of remaining easy to clean, the terminal end completely closed remaining limited size.
  • the recovery container 4 may be associated with a deflector, as described in the patent application.
  • FR 2,904,683 deflecting the bubbles created by the boiling of the water and away from the area above the tartar recovery vessel to create an even greater calm zone above the recovery vessel promoting the deposition of scale by gravity.
