Description

Field of Invention

  By adding heating by the mesh heater 2 to the air in the space inside the conventional iron 10 air-sealed with the air seal cover 7, the saturated water vapor curve is increased by the saturated water vapor amount and the upper limit increased by the heating proved by FIG. 3. By making the absorption capacity of water vapor, air that is easier to dry related to the boiling point of water is made, and the heated air is used as a heating element by the inverter blower 5 and provided with another heating element such as a nichrome rod. When ironing while heating, blow through directly from the air hole 8 to the back of the clothing to speed up the ironing, increase the drying power, lower the temperature of the mesh heater 2, and scorch due to overheating of the clothing It is possible to send cool air from the inverter blower 5 to prevent the above, and when compared at the same temperature and pressure, the conventional steam iron The amount of water vapor contained in the air is extremely small, which is also related to the boiling point of water and has a drying power superior to steam as evidenced by the saturated water vapor curve, and that there is no raw drying, especially during the rainy season In order to compensate for the excellent drying power shown in the normal period even in the thick and the like, the mesh-like heater function that can be ironed in a short time, and the wind pressure, the inverter blower 5 was attached and another heating element such as a nichrome rod was provided. The iron having the above structure having the bottom plate 9 together.

  Irons have been used in the past, but there are no examples relating to the present invention.

However, with conventional irons, there was heating from the metallic bottom plate to stretch and dry the wrinkles of the clothes, but the bottom plate alone did not transfer heat enough to the back of the clothes, especially in the rainy season. Even if steam is used as steam that is generated in many seasons, it will become liquefied when drying of clothes is hindered or the temperature falls, causing inconveniences such as longer ironing time such as thick clothes and dryness, etc. When the surface temperature rose too much by heating only the clothing surface, there was a possibility that the clothing was burned, which was very inconvenient.
In addition, with one heat source for heating the bottom plate, the amount of heat of the bottom plate, which is the only heat source necessary for drying clothes, may be insufficient during ironing. This inconvenience is time consuming and very inconvenient.
In the present invention, heat is not sufficiently transmitted to the back of such clothes, or the generated steam liquefies immediately when the clothes hinder drying of clothes or the temperature decreases, and the time for ironing such as thick is prolonged. When the surface temperature rises too much by heating only the surface of the clothes, there will be scorching marks on the clothes, and the heat source of the bottom plate, which is the only heat source necessary for drying the clothes, may be insufficient. It is an object to solve the inconvenience that ironing takes time.

  The invention of claim 1 for solving this problem is based on the conventional iron 10 so that hot air and cold air can be emitted from the bottom of the iron while heating the bottom plate 9 having another heating element such as a nichrome rod with the heating element. Other than mesh heater 2, inverter fan blower 5, air passage 4, air 8, bottom plate 9 provided with another heating element, individual temperature of mesh heater 2, air flow adjustment of inverter blower 5, and bottom plate 9 A hot-air iron comprising a change-over switch 1 that can be stopped. While ironing, the clothes can be dried to the back while absorbing or blowing off the water vapor from the clothes with hot air while warming the clothes with the bottom plate 9 having another heating element, and the clothes can be prevented from being burnt with cold air.

Referring to FIG. 3, according to the present invention, the air holes 8 provided in the bottom plate 9 by the inverter blower 5 (where the bottom plate is provided) are heated from the bottom plate and heated by the mesh heater 2 when ironing clothes. It is possible to transfer heat to the back of the garment by blowing it through the gap between the clothes and the clothes, and if the steam prevents the clothes from drying or the temperature falls by blowing off the steam generated while drying There is no inconvenience such as liquefaction, thick ironing time and fresh drying will not occur, and heating only the clothing surface may cause overheating due to overheating, causing scorching on the clothing Although it occurs, heat can be transferred to the clothing without concentrating the heat on the surface by the two heating of the bottom plate 9 and hot air, and in some cases the hot air temperature is lowered to the cold air side It was also able to solve a disadvantage that can burn marks of clothing due to overheating in the.
Also, by using two heat sources, there is no inconvenience that the amount of heat necessary for drying clothes is insufficient when ironing, and there is no sudden temperature drop of the bottom plate, so it takes time to iron. I was able to.

  FIG. 1 shows a conventional iron 10 having a mesh-like heater 2 so that hot air and cold air can be emitted from the bottom of the iron to the gap between the clothes while heating the bottom plate 9 having another heating element such as a nichrome rod with the heating element. The inverter blower 5, the air passage 4, the air hole 8, the bottom plate 9 provided with another heating element and the individual temperature of the mesh heater 2 and the changeover switch 1 for adjusting the air volume of the inverter blower 5, etc. It is a front view of the hot air iron of an inverter air blower and a mesh heating characterized by these. As shown in the figure, when ironing while heating the bottom plate with another heating element, the air heated by the mesh heater 2 is blown out from the air hole 8 to the back gap at the back of the clothing by the inverter blower 5. By absorbing or blowing off the steam generated from the clothing with hot air and drying it to the lower part of the interior quickly, it is possible to prevent drought that often occurs in the season such as the rainy season, and to prevent the clothing from being overheated by the cold air.

The hot air mechanism of the present invention may be attached anywhere on the iron as long as it is easy to use, and the pores 8 that are hot air outlets may be attached anywhere on the bottom plate, or steam generated by blowing through to the back of the clothing. Any number may be provided as long as it does not impair the amount of hot air for absorbing or blowing off the air.
Also, the present invention is clearly different from FIGS. 1 and 3 from the steam iron and the dryer combined iron, and the heat source of the hot air function is separate from the heating element for heating the bottom plate and completely separates it. Hot air was generated by ironing while warming to the back of the clothes by blowing it down to the back of the clothes when ironing clothes with a bottom plate heated with another heating element until it gets tired It is a source of hot air to absorb or blow away steam and to dry the water and steam remaining on the clothes back to the ironed surface, and it must be separate from the heat source to heat the bottom plate, inverter The blower 5 is also used for preventing scorching due to overheating of clothing, and the structure is also different, so it is clearly different from conventional irons.

  Since the iron according to the present invention can be industrially mass-produced, it has industrial applicability.

  FIG. 7 is a front view of the present invention in which a part of a conventional iron having another heat source on the bottom plate is provided with a hot air / cold air function by a mesh heater, an inverter blower, an air passage, an air seal cover, an air hole, and a changeover switch.   FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the present invention in which a part of a conventional iron having another heat source on the bottom plate is provided with a hot air / cold air function by a mesh heater, an inverter blower, an air passage, an air seal cover, an air hole, and a changeover switch.   It is a saturated water vapor curve for comparing and verifying the difference in drying power due to the humidity of gas at the same temperature and pressure.
