Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an iron having a base made up of a plurality of base members and a hanging surface member so as to reduce wrinkles of clothes and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of iron has been configured as shown in FIG. 7 as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-262400. That is, the base 2 heated by the heater 1 has the base member 3 and the hooking surface member 4, forms the vaporization chamber 5 in the base member 3 in which the heater 1 is embedded, and forms the vaporization chamber 5 on the upper surface side of the base member 3. The lid 6 is fixed to cover the vaporization chamber 5.

[0003] The hanging surface member 4 is formed by forming a metal composite plating layer containing a fluororesin on the ironing surface and bonding it to the lower surface side of the base member 3. The steaming hole 7 is provided on the ironing surface. The hole 7 communicates with the vaporization chamber 5. The temperature detecting means 8 is disposed on the base member 3 to detect the temperature of the base member 3, and based on the temperature of the base member 3 detected by the temperature detecting means 8, controls the energization of the heater 1 to control the temperature. Had control.

[0004] The reason why the base 2 is divided into a plurality of members of the base member 3 and the hanging member 4 is that a metal composite plating layer containing a fluororesin is formed on the surface of the hanging member 4. The metal composite plating layer containing fluorine resin has a high water-repelling property, and when formed on the surface of the vaporization chamber 5, the metal composite plating layer cannot be satisfactorily vaporized by repelling water. The base member 2 is formed by providing a metal composite plating layer on the not-behind surface member 4 and bonding it to the base member 3.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional structure, the base member 3 heated by the heater 1 and the hanging surface member 4 which comes into contact with the garment at the time of ironing are divided. The heat from the base member 3 and the hook member 4 are not efficiently transmitted to the hook member 4.
Therefore, there is a problem that the temperature of the ironed surface cannot be accurately and accurately controlled due to a temperature difference between the iron and the iron.

That is, when the device is used in a dry state without spraying steam, the surface of the hanging member 4 comes into contact with the clothing to lower the temperature, but the temperature of the base member 3 is slower than that of the hanging member 4. The temperature detecting means 8 provided on the base member 3 detects a decrease in the temperature of the base member 3 and a time lag occurs until the heater 1 is energized. Lower.

On the other hand, when water is supplied to the vaporization chamber 4 and steam is blown out, the temperature of the base member 3 is reduced by vaporizing the water in the vaporization chamber 4, and the temperature detecting means 8 is used for the base member 3. Then, the heater 1 is energized upon detecting the temperature decrease of the heater 3. However, the temperature of the hanging surface member 4 is lower than that of the base member 3 because the temperature of the hanging surface member 4 is delayed.
The temperature of the hanging surface member 4 increases.

As described above, the base member 3 and the hanging surface member 4
In addition, there is a problem in that a difference in heat transfer occurs between the two and the phenomenon, and the phenomenon differs depending on how to use, so that a hanging surface temperature suitable for the type of clothing cannot be obtained.
