Description
La prĆ©sente invention concerne le domaine des appareils de repassage/et ou dĆ©froissage Ć la vapeur comportant une poignĆ©e reliĆ©e Ć une tĆŖte d'Ć©mission de vapeur comportant une face de traitement destinĆ©e Ć venir verticalement en regard d'un vĆŖtement Ć dĆ©froisser et comprenant au moins un orifice de sortie de vapeur.The present invention relates to the field of steam ironing / or smoothing appliances comprising a handle connected to a steam emitting head comprising a treatment face intended to come vertically facing a garment to be straightened and comprising at least a steam outlet.
L'invention se rapporte plus particuliĆØrement Ć un appareil dans lequel la tĆŖte d'Ć©mission de vapeur comporte un corps chauffant comprenant une chambre de vaporisation instantanĆ©e et une rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique rĆ©gulĆ©e au moyen d'un thermostat pour maintenir la tempĆ©rature de la chambre de vaporisation autour d'une tempĆ©rature de consigne, l'appareil comprenant une pompe Ć©lectrique pour injecter du liquide dans la chambre de vaporisation.The invention relates more particularly to an apparatus in which the vapor emitting head comprises a heating body comprising an instantaneous vaporization chamber and an electrical resistance regulated by means of a thermostat to maintain the temperature of the vaporization chamber around a setpoint temperature, the device comprising an electric pump for injecting liquid into the vaporization chamber.
Un tel appareil est par exemple connu des demandes de brevet
De tels appareils munis d'une chambre de vaporisation instantanĆ©e dans laquelle de l'eau est injectĆ©e au moyen d'une pompe Ć©lectrique prĆ©sentent l'avantage d'offrir des dĆ©bits de vapeurs Ć©levĆ©s. Toutefois, on observe dans certaines conditions des rejets d'eau non vaporisĆ©e, notamment aprĆØs que la tĆŖte ait Ć©tĆ© utilisĆ©e en Ć©tant basculĆ©e sur le cĆ“tĆ©. En effet, dans ces conditions une partie de l'Ć©lĆ©ment chauffant n'est pas en contact avec l'eau de sorte que le thermostat coupe frĆ©quemment la chauffe et l'eau s'accumule rapidement dans le chambre de vaporisation lorsque l'alimentation Ć©lectrique de l'Ć©lĆ©ment chauffant est coupĆ©e. Ensuite, lorsque le thermostat se ferme, la puissance importante fournie par l'Ć©lĆ©ment chauffant gĆ©nĆØre rapidement un flux de vapeur puissant, rĆ©sultant de la vaporisation d'une partie de l'eau accumulĆ©e dans la chambre de vaporisation, qui entraine avec lui des gouttelettes d'eau, issues de l'eau accumulĆ©e dans la chambre de vaporisation, qui sont Ć©jectĆ©es par les trous de sortie de vapeur.Such devices provided with an instantaneous vaporization chamber into which water is injected by means of an electric pump have the advantage of offering high vapor flow rates. However, under certain conditions there are discharges of non-vaporized water, in particular after the head has been used by being tilted to the side. In fact, under these conditions a part of the heating element is not in contact with the water so that the thermostat frequently cuts off the heating and the water accumulates rapidly in the vaporization chamber when the power supply is supplied. of the heating element is cut off. Then, when the thermostat closes, the high power supplied by the heating element quickly generates a powerful flow of steam, resulting from the vaporization of part of the water accumulated in the vaporization chamber, which carries with it droplets. of water, resulting from the water accumulated in the vaporization chamber, which are ejected through the vapor outlet holes.
L'invention qui suit vise Ć pallier ces inconvĆ©nients en proposant notamment un appareil de dĆ©froissage qui produise un dĆ©bit de vapeur important et qui puisse ĆŖtre utilisĆ© dans toutes les positions en rĆ©duisant encore le risque de crachement de gouttelettes d'eau par l'orifice de sortie de vapeur.The invention which follows aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing in particular a steamer which produces a high flow of steam and which can be used in all positions, further reducing the risk of water droplets spitting out through the steam outlet.
Le but de l'invention est atteint par un appareil de repassage et/ou dĆ©froissage Ć la vapeur comportant une poignĆ©e reliĆ©e Ć une tĆŖte d'Ć©mission de vapeur comportant une face de traitement destinĆ©e Ć venir verticalement en regard d'un vĆŖtement Ć dĆ©froisser et comprenant au moins un orifice de sortie de vapeur, la tĆŖte d'Ć©mission de vapeur comportant un corps chauffant comprenant une chambre de vaporisation instantanĆ©e et une rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique rĆ©gulĆ©e au moyen d'un thermostat pour maintenir la tempĆ©rature de la chambre de vaporisation autour d'une tempĆ©rature de consigne, l'appareil comportant une pompe Ć©lectrique pour injecter du liquide dans la chambre de vaporisation, caractĆ©risĆ© en ce que la pompe est pilotĆ©e par un circuit de commande qui reƧoit l'information relative Ć l'Ć©tat d'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique par le thermostat et en ce que le circuit de commande modifie les conditions de fonctionnement de la pompe en fonction de l'Ć©tat d'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique, la pompe fonctionnant selon un premier dĆ©bit lorsque la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique est alimentĆ©e en courant et selon un deuxiĆØme dĆ©bit lorsque la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique n'est pas alimentĆ©e en courant, le deuxiĆØme dĆ©bit Ć©tant plus faible que le premier dĆ©bit.The object of the invention is achieved by an ironing and / or steam ironing appliance comprising a handle connected to a steam emitting head comprising a treatment face intended to come vertically opposite a garment to be uncreased and comprising at least one steam outlet, the steam emitting head comprising a heating body comprising an instantaneous vaporization chamber and an electrical resistance regulated by means of a thermostat to maintain the temperature of the vaporization chamber around a setpoint temperature, the device comprising an electric pump for injecting liquid into the vaporization chamber, characterized in that the pump is controlled by a control circuit which receives the information relating to the supply state of the electrical resistance by the thermostat and in that the control circuit modifies the operating conditions of the pump according to the supply state of the resistance electric, the pump operating according to a first flow when the electrical resistance is supplied with current and according to a second flow when the electrical resistance is not supplied with current, the second flow being lower than the first flow.
Une telle caractƩristique permet de limiter le dƩbit d'eau injectƩ dans la chambre de vaporisation lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique n'est plus alimentƩe Ʃlectriquement. On rƩduit ainsi la quantitƩ d'eau envoyƩe dans la chambre de vaporisation lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique ne fournit pas d'Ʃnergie pour vaporiser l'eau, ce qui permet de rƩduire le risque d'Ʃjection de gouttelettes d'eau avec le flux de vapeur. A l'inverse lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique est alimentƩe Ʃlectriquement, on profite de la puissance disponible pour augmenter le dƩbit de la pompe et produire une plus grande quantitƩ de vapeur sans risque d'accumulation d'eau dans la chambre de vaporisation instantanƩe.Such a characteristic makes it possible to limit the flow of water injected into the vaporization chamber when the electrical resistance is no longer electrically supplied. This reduces the amount of water sent into the vaporization chamber when the electrical resistance does not provide energy to vaporize the water, which reduces the risk of ejection of water droplets with the steam flow. . Conversely, when the electric resistance is supplied electrically, the available power is taken advantage of to increase the pump flow rate and produce a larger quantity of steam without the risk of water accumulating in the instantaneous vaporization chamber.
Par thermostat, on entend tout dispositif rƩgulateur, qu'il soit mƩcanique, Ʃlectrique ou Ʃlectronique, permettant de maintenir la tempƩrature autour d'une valeur prescrite.By thermostat is meant any regulating device, whether mechanical, electrical or electronic, making it possible to maintain the temperature around a prescribed value.
Par dƩbit de la pompe, on entend le dƩbit moyen de la pompe dans le temps. Ce dƩbit peut rƩsulter soit d'un fonctionnement en continu de la pompe, soit d'un fonctionnement intermittent de la pompe, obtenu par exemple par hachage de son alimentation sur un pƩriode donnƩe.The pump flow rate is understood to mean the average pump flow rate over time. This flow rate may result either from continuous operation of the pump or from intermittent operation of the pump, obtained for example by chopping its supply over a given period.
Selon une caractĆ©ristique avantageuse de l'invention, l'appareil comporte un bouton reliĆ© au circuit de commande de la pompe qui permet de mettre en marche et/ou d'arrĆŖter la pompe.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the apparatus comprises a button connected to the control circuit of the pump which makes it possible to start and / or stop the pump.
Un tel bouton permet Ć l'utilisateur de prendre le contrĆ“le de l'Ć©mission de vapeur par l'appareil, l'utilisateur pouvant ainsi facilement stopper l'Ć©mission de vapeur lorsque cette derniĆØre n'est pas nĆ©cessaire.Such a button allows the user to take control of the emission of steam by the device, the user can thus easily stop the emission of steam when the latter is not necessary.
Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique avantageuse de l'invention, le bouton est une gĆ¢chette qui commande le fonctionnement de la pompe lorsqu'il est activĆ©, le relĆ¢chement de la gĆ¢chette provoquant l'arrĆŖt de la pompe.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the button is a trigger which controls the operation of the pump when it is activated, the release of the trigger causing the pump to stop.
Une telle caractĆ©ristique permet d'offrir une trĆØs bonne ergonomie d'utilisation de l'appareil.Such a characteristic makes it possible to offer very good ergonomics of use of the device.
Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique avantageuse de l'invention, le deuxiĆØme dĆ©bit de la pompe est obtenu par hachage du courant d'alimentation de la pompe.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the second flow rate of the pump is obtained by chopping the supply current of the pump.
Une telle caractƩristique permet d'obtenir une rƩduction du dƩbit de la pompe de faƧon simple et Ʃconomique.Such a characteristic makes it possible to obtain a reduction in the flow rate of the pump in a simple and economical manner.
Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique avantageuse de l'invention, le deuxiĆØme dĆ©bit de la pompe reprĆ©sente moins de 75 %, et de prĆ©fĆ©rence moins de 50%, du premier dĆ©bit de la pompe.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the second flow rate of the pump represents less than 75%, and preferably less than 50%, of the first flow rate of the pump.

L'enceinte du corps chauffant 6 comporte, Ć l'extĆ©rieur de la paroi pĆ©riphĆ©rique 61, un volume qui dĆ©finit un circuit de distribution 8, de part et d'autre de la chambre de vaporisation 60, dans lequel la vapeur produite par la chambre de vaporisation 60 peut s'Ć©couler en direction d'une lumiĆØre 80 mĆ©nagĆ©e dans la face avant du corps chauffant 6, visible sur la
Le corps chauffant 6 est avantageusement constituĆ© par une fonderie en aluminium dans laquelle est noyĆ©e une rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62, de type rĆ©sistance blindĆ©e en forme de U, d'une puissance comprise entre 1200 W et 2000 W et de prĆ©fĆ©rence de l'ordre de 1800W. L'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 est rĆ©gulĆ©e au moyen d'un thermostat, non visible sur les figures, autour d'une tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc mesurĆ©e au centre de la chambre de vaporisation 60. De maniĆØre prĆ©fĆ©rentielle, la valeur de la tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc est non rĆ©glable par l'utilisateur et est comprise entre 110Ā°C et 180Ā°C.The
Le thermostat peut ĆŖtre constituĆ© par un thermostat mĆ©canique, de type bilame, qui est rapportĆ© contre la paroi de fond de la chambre de vaporisation 60 ou par une sonde de tempĆ©rature, de type CTN, disposĆ©e Ć la place du thermostat mĆ©canique et associĆ©e Ć une carte Ć©lectronique de commande de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62.The thermostat can be constituted by a mechanical thermostat, of the bimetal type, which is attached against the back wall of the
Le thermostat communique avec la carte de pilotage 9 de la pompe 5, par exemple par une liaison filaire, pour transmettre Ć cette derniĆØre l'information relative Ć l'Ć©tat d'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62.The thermostat communicates with the
Le corps chauffant 6 peut Ć©galement comporter un coupe circuit fusible qui coupe l'alimentation Ć©lectrique de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 en cas de dĆ©faillance du thermostat, un tel coupe circuit pouvant par exemple agir lorsque la tempĆ©rature du corps chauffant 6 dĆ©passe 250Ā°C.The
La carte de pilotage 9 de la pompe 5 comporte un microprocesseur qui met en Åuvre le procĆ©dĆ© de fonctionnement dĆ©crit ci-dessous :
Lors de la mise en marche de l'appareil par une pression sur le bouton 4, l'appareil met en Åuvre une Ć©tape de prĆ©chauffage dans laquelle la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 de la chambre de vaporisation 60 est alimentĆ©e en courant jusqu'Ć ce que la tempĆ©rature de la chambre de vaporisation 60 atteigne la tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc, l'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 Ć©tant alors rĆ©gulĆ©e autour de cette tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc par le thermostat.The
When the device is started by pressing
De maniĆØre prĆ©fĆ©rentielle, lors de cette Ć©tape de prĆ©chauffage, l'actionnement de la gĆ¢chette 52 ne provoque pas le fonctionnement de la pompe 5 tant que la tempĆ©rature de la chambre de vaporisation 60 n'a pas atteint la tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc.Preferably, during this preheating step, the actuation of the
Une fois l'Ć©tape de prĆ©chauffage terminĆ©e, la tempĆ©rature de la chambre de vaporisation 60 est maintenue autour de la tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc par le thermostat, ce dernier coupant l'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 lorsque la tempĆ©rature mesurĆ©e est supĆ©rieure Ć la tempĆ©rature de consigne Tc et, Ć l'inverse, alimentant en courant la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 lorsque la tempĆ©rature mesurĆ©e est infĆ©rieure Ć la tempĆ©rature de consigne TC.Once the preheating step is completed, the temperature of the
Si l'utilisateur actionne la gĆ¢chette 52 une fois l'Ć©tape de prĆ©chauffage terminĆ©e, la carte de pilotage 9 commande le fonctionnement de la pompe 5 selon un dĆ©bit qui est fonction de l'Ć©tat d'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62.If the user actuates the
Lorsque la gĆ¢chette 52 est actionnĆ©e et que le thermostat renvoie Ć la carte de pilotage 9 l'information selon laquelle la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 est alimentĆ©e Ć©lectriquement, la carte de pilotage 9 commande le fonctionnement de la pompe 5 Ć un premier dĆ©bit, dit dĆ©bit maximal, avantageusement de l'ordre de 40g/min.When the
Lorsque la gĆ¢chette 52 est actionnĆ©e et que le thermostat renvoie Ć la carte de pilotage 9 l'information selon laquelle la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 n'est pas alimentĆ©e Ć©lectriquement, la carte de pilotage 9 commande le fonctionnement de la pompe 5 Ć un deuxiĆØme dĆ©bit, dit dĆ©bit rĆ©duit, avantageusement de l'ordre de 15 g/min. A titre d'exemple, le dĆ©bit rĆ©duit de la pompe 5 pourra ĆŖtre obtenu par hachage du courant d'alimentation de la pompe 5.When the
Si l'Ć©tat d'alimentation de la rĆ©sistance Ć©lectrique 62 change pendant que la gĆ¢chette 52 est maintenue appuyĆ©e par l'utilisateur, la carte de pilotage 9 adapte en consĆ©quence le dĆ©bit de la pompe 5 selon les rĆØgles de fonctionnement dĆ©finies ci-dessus.If the supply state of the
On obtient ainsi un appareil permettant de produire un dƩbit ƩlevƩ de vapeur avec une chambre de vaporisation prƩsentant une faible masse thermique tout en limitant les risques d'Ʃcoulement d'eau par les orifices de vapeur.An apparatus is thus obtained which makes it possible to produce a high vapor flow rate with a vaporization chamber having a low thermal mass while limiting the risks of water flowing through the vapor orifices.
En effet, lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique 60 n'est pas alimentƩe, seule l'Ʃnergie thermique emmagasinƩe dans la masse du corps chauffant 6 permet d'assurer l'Ʃvaporation de l'eau injectƩe dans la chambre de vaporisation 60. Etant donnƩ que le corps chauffant 6 prƩsente une masse limitƩe, pour que l'appareil conserve un poids limitƩ et prƩsente une bonne ergonomie d'utilisation, la capacitƩ d'Ʃvaporation de la chambre de vaporisation 60 est plus faible lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique 62 n'est pas alimentƩe en courant.Indeed, when the
Ainsi, avec un dƩbit d'injection de la pompe 5 rƩduit lorsque la rƩsistance Ʃlectrique 62 n'est pas alimentƩe en courant, les risques qu'une partie de l'eau injectƩe dans la chambre de vaporisation 60 ne soit pas ƩvaporƩe sont rƩduits.Thus, with a reduced injection rate of the
L'appareil ainsi rĆ©alisĆ© prĆ©sente donc l'avantage de procurer des performances amĆ©liorĆ©es, grĆ¢ce Ć un dĆ©bit de vapeur plus Ć©levĆ©, tout en conservant un poids rĆ©duit et en limitant le risque d'Ć©coulement d'eau du fait d'une Ć©vaporation incomplĆØte de l'eau injectĆ©e dans la chambre de vaporisation.The apparatus thus produced therefore has the advantage of providing improved performance, thanks to a higher steam flow rate, while retaining reduced weight and limiting the risk of water flow due to incomplete evaporation of water. the water injected into the vaporization chamber.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitĆ©e au mode de rĆ©alisation dĆ©crit et illustrĆ© qui n'a Ć©tĆ© donnĆ© qu'Ć titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers Ć©lĆ©ments ou par substitution d'Ć©quivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given only by way of example. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
Ainsi dans une variante de rĆ©alisation, le dĆ©bit maximal de la pompe pourra ĆŖtre rĆ©glable au moyen d'un bouton prĆ©vu Ć cet effet.Thus in an alternative embodiment, the maximum flow rate of the pump may be adjustable by means of a button provided for this purpose.
Ainsi dans une variante de rĆ©alisation non reprĆ©sentĆ©e, le rĆ©servoir et Ć©ventuellement la pompe, pourront ĆŖtre dĆ©portĆ©s dans une base sĆ©parĆ©e, la base Ć©tant alors reliĆ©e Ć la tĆŖte d'Ć©mission de vapeur par un conduit permettant la circulation de l'eau du rĆ©servoir vers la chambre de vaporisation.Thus in an alternative embodiment not shown, the reservoir and possibly the pump, can be deported in a separate base, the base then being connected to the steam emission head by a pipe allowing the circulation of water from the tank to the vaporization chamber.
Ainsi, dans une variante de rĆ©alisation non reprĆ©sentĆ©e, l'appareil de repassage pourra ĆŖtre un fer Ć repasser comprenant une semelle mĆ©tallique au contact thermique du corps chauffant.Thus, in an alternative embodiment not shown, the ironing appliance may be an iron comprising a metal sole in thermal contact with the heating body.
