An elevator 13 that moves up and down by operating the tank lock button 12 is an elastic member. The spring 14 is always biased upward by the barrel spring 14.

  And the lock part 15 which protruded from the upper part of the raising / lowering body 13 becomes a structure which latches to the hole 16 formed in the front surface of the handle | steering-wheel 9. FIG.

  A valve device 17 is provided inside the cassette tank 10, and a water passage joint 18 serving as a water conduit that communicates with the vaporizing chamber 6 is provided below the valve device 17.

  The valve device 17 includes a steam opening / closing rod 20 that is supported upright and slidably by a support 19, a packing 21 provided on the bottom surface of the recess of the support 19, and the packing 21 that is always supported by the support 19. And a spring 22 as an urging member that protects the close contact state, and an elastic valve element 23 formed at the lower end of the steam opening / closing rod 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the cassette tank 10. It is provided facing the center of the formed outflow hole 24.

  Further, a heat shield plate 25 that blocks heat from the base 3 is interposed between the water flow joint 18 and the base 3.

  A lid 26 is provided below the heat shield plate 25 so as to cover the upper opening of the vaporizing chamber 6.

  Reference numeral 27 denotes a nozzle provided in the middle of the water passage joint 18, and an on-off valve 28 for opening and closing the nozzle 27 is formed on the base from an opening 29 provided in common to the heat shield plate 25 and the lid body 26. 3 protrudes downward toward the recess 30.

  An inversion-type bimetal 31 corresponding to a heat sensitive body is accommodated in the concave portion 30 of the base 3, and when the vaporizing chamber 6 near the concave portion 30 reaches a predetermined temperature, the bimetal 31 is placed inside the concave portion 30. And the nozzle 27 is opened by pushing up the on-off valve 27 against the bias of the spring 32.

  In addition to the handle portion 33 corresponding to the grip portion, the handle 9 forms a cavity 35 for inserting a hand between the abdomen 34 and the handle portion 33 of the iron body 1 located below the handle portion 33. It is.

  Here, the abdomen 34 refers to a flat central upper surface portion of the iron body 1 facing the handle portion 33 excluding both sides of the cassette tank 10.

  A setting button 36 for changing the set temperature of the base 3 is disposed at the upper part of the handle 9, and the base 3 is kept at a predetermined temperature by appropriately turning off the heater 2 inside the handle 9. A temperature control device 37 for controlling the temperature is provided.

  Specifically, the temperature control device 37 stores a current set temperature in addition to the switch unit 38 of the setting button 36 and a plurality of light emitting diodes, that is, LEDs 39, and allows the setting button 36 to be received. A power storage device 40 such as the above is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 41. The light from the LED 39 is transmitted through the temperature display nameplate 42 attached to the handle 33 and displays the current set temperature.

  The characteristic part of the iron of the present embodiment will be described below. The hooking surface member 4 is a die-cast product made of a metal plate having a good thermal conductivity made of general aluminum, copper or the like, and is formed on the surface of the hooking surface 43. DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) film 44 is formed. The DLC film 44 is a technique generally referred to as a plasma CVD method. A hydrocarbon gas such as acetylene is used as a raw material for the hanging member 4, and the raw material gas is converted into plasma in the chamber to produce a vapor-phase synthesized hydrocarbon. The DLC film 44 is deposited on the surface of the hanging surface 43 with a film thickness of approximately several tens of nanometers to several tens of micrometers (micrometer). At that time, by adjusting the hydrogen content, it is possible to produce a coating film having a good balance between slidability and wear resistance. In other words, when the hydrogen content is reduced and the carbon content is increased, the carbon atoms are concentrated, so that the hardness increases like diamond, and when the hydrogen content is increased, hydrogen with a low surface energy appears on the surface. Therefore, slidability is improved. In the conventional coating, the friction coefficient was 0.2 or less. However, since the DLC film 44 is composed of hydrogen having the lowest surface energy and carbon that is the raw material of diamond having the highest surface hardness, it contains hydrogen. Even if the amount is increased to make the friction coefficient 0.1 or less, the surface hardness can be made to be Vickers hardness (Hv) 1000 or more.

  In addition, the DLC film 44 is considered to improve the slidability at the beginning and end of the application in consideration of the contact between the cloth at the start of ironing and the end of ironing and the surface 45 of the surface of the hanging surface member 4. Not only the surface of the hanging surface 43 but also the side surface 45 of the hanging surface may be formed.

  Next, the operation of the steam iron having the above configuration will be described. When water is previously stored in the cassette tank 10 from the water inlet lid 11 and the cassette tank 10 is inserted from the front portion of the handle 9, the upper surface of the cassette tank 10 pushes down the lock portion 15 against the spring 14, and finally The cassette tank 10 is set at a predetermined position of the iron body 1 by locking the lock portion in the hole portion 16.

  Next, when the power cord is inserted into the outlet while the iron body 1 is placed on the placing table, power is supplied to the temperature control device 37 and the power storage device 40 in the iron body 1 from the power contact of the placing table. In the temperature control device 37, the off mode setting mode is first set as the initial state, and the LED 39 corresponding to “off” on the operation panel (not shown) is turned on. In this cut-off state, the heater 2 is not energized for safety. Thereafter, when the setting button 36 is pushed, the setting mode is switched from “OFF” to “LOW”, “Middle”, and “HIGH” in order, and the corresponding LED 39 is lit. When the setting mode is switched to a mode other than “OFF”, the temperature control device 37 energizes the heater 2.

  The temperature control device 37 detects whether the iron body 1 is being placed on the placing table or is being detached by an iron placing detection means (not shown). In a state where the iron body 1 is continuously placed on the placing table, the heater 3 is heated to the base 3 until the base 3 reaches a temperature set by a temperature setting means (not shown). At this time, the temperature control device 37 determines whether or not the base 3 is within an appropriate temperature range close to the set temperature based on a detection output from a temperature detection means (not shown). When the temperature of the base 3 is out of the appropriate temperature range, the LED of the temperature display nameplate 42 corresponding to the set temperature is made to blink, and notification by a buzzer (not shown) is not performed. Inform the user that the temperature is not appropriate. On the other hand, when the temperature of the base 3 is within the appropriate temperature range, the LED 39 on the temperature display nameplate 42 corresponding to the set temperature is turned on, and a buzzer (not shown) is sounded for a certain period of time to iron the user. Inform that it is possible. And as long as the iron main body 1 is mounted on the mounting table, the temperature control device 37 controls the interruption of the heater 2 so that the temperature of the base 3 is maintained within the appropriate temperature range. Regardless of whether the temperature is appropriate or inappropriate, the procedure returns to the above.

  Thereafter, when the iron body 1 is detached from the mounting table for ironing, the power supply from the mounting table to the iron body 1 side is cut off, and the heater 2 is turned off. The temperature control device 37 continues to operate by power supply from the power storage device 40, but is switched to a higher temperature than before when the temperature of the base 3 falls below the appropriate temperature range or by operating the setting button 36. When using the LED 39, the power supply notification or display for prompting the iron body 1 to be placed on the placing table is performed using the LED 39.

  When performing ironing, after inserting a hand from the cavity 35 of the iron body 1, the handle portion 33 of the handle 9 is gripped as if held by a palm. At this time, the width of the rear end portion of the handle portion 35 is approximately from the central portion. While gradually spreading and lowering the height, the iron body 1 is prevented from coming out of the hand during ironing. Further, in order to improve the visual observation of the tip portion of the base 3, the front end surface of the cassette tank 10 is inclined so as to fall relatively greatly toward the rear side of the iron body 1, but the cassette in the present embodiment. Since both sides of the tank 10 have a height sufficient to accommodate a sufficient amount of water, it becomes possible to eliminate the conventional capacity shortage of the water tank.

  When ironing, the user switches between the steam state and the spray state according to the wrinkle state of the cloth. That is, when using as a normal steam iron, the steam opening / closing rod 20 is raised, the water in the cassette tank 10 is supplied to the vaporizing chamber 6, and ironing is performed while always ejecting steam. Also, when trying to stretch out the gun, operate the operation button (not shown) to spout strong steam, or operate the operation button (not shown) to spray mist on the cloth. Absorb moisture and iron.

  In this embodiment, the base member 3 is provided with the hooking surface member 4 having the DLC film 44 formed on the surface of the hooking surface 43. Therefore, the surface hardness of the hooking surface 43 is greatly enhanced, and the hooking surface 43 resistant to wear and scratches. can do. Therefore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided.

  In addition, since the hanging surface member 4 is a metal plate having good thermal conductivity, a temperature difference from the base 3 hardly occurs, and the temperature of the hanging surface 43 can be made substantially the same as the set temperature of the iron. Therefore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided, and the temperature change of the hanging surface 43 can be reduced, and the wrinkle elongation of the clothes becomes good during ironing.

  Furthermore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided without cost, by using a general aluminum or copper as the metal plate having good thermal conductivity constituting the hanging member 4.

  Further, by making the hooking surface member 4 a die-cast product, the fastening member 5 used for fastening with the base 3 can be integrated with the hooking surface member 4 and is excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance without cost. Iron can be provided.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the iron provided with the base 3, the surface hardness of the hooking surface 43 is greatly enhanced by providing the base 3 with the hooking surface member 4 as a member on which the DLC film 44 is formed. The hanger surface 43 can be made resistant to wear and scratches. Therefore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided.

  Further, the hanging surface member 4 is made of a heat conductive metal plate, and since the metal plate is made of aluminum or copper, a temperature difference from the base 3 hardly occurs, and the temperature of the hanging surface 43 is almost the same as the set temperature of the iron. Can be. Therefore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided, and the temperature change of the hanging surface 43 can be reduced, and the wrinkle elongation of the clothes becomes good during ironing. Furthermore, an iron excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance can be provided without cost, by using a general aluminum or copper as the metal plate having good thermal conductivity constituting the hanging member 4.

  Furthermore, by using the hanging surface member 4 as a die-cast product, the fastening member 5 used for fastening with the base 3 can be integrated with the hanging surface member 4 and is excellent in wear resistance and scratch resistance without cost. Iron can be provided.

  Next, an iron according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the structure of the iron body 1 other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. In the iron of this embodiment, the hanging surface member 4 is made of a metal plate having good thermal conductivity, and the surface of the hanging surface 43 is formed with a composite plating film or a DLC film containing boron in a dispersed manner. At both ends of the rear portion, rear tapered shapes 50, 50 having substantially the same shape as the tip tapered shape 43A of the hooking surface 43 are provided. Here, the respective rear tapered shapes 50, 50 are shifted from the center line X of the hanging surface member 4 by a predetermined dimension D in both the left and right directions, and the center line Y of each rear tapered shape 50, 50 is shifted to the center line X of the hanging surface member 4. Is shifted from the horizontal direction by an angle α (here, 0 ° <α <90 °, and the angle α is approximately 45 ° in FIG. 7), and is provided at both left and right ends of the rear portion of the hanging surface member 4. ing.

  The hooking surface member 4 may be a die-cast product, and the fastening member 5 may be integrally formed, and the surface including the hooking surface 43 of the hooking surface member 4 has durability and slidability such as fluorine and wrinkles. A film may be formed.

  In this embodiment, since the rear taper shapes 50 and 50 are provided at the rear portion of the hooking surface member 4, a fine portion can be hung by an ironing pulling operation. As a result, fine parts can be hung by pulling the iron without twisting the wrist or body, so that it can be finished beautifully without placing a burden on the wrist or body.

  In addition, by positioning the rear tapered shapes 50, 50 at both left and right ends of the rear portion of the hanging surface member 4, either dominant hand can cope. Since the ironing operation can be performed while looking at the rear tapered shapes 50, 50 that are not hidden by the handle, the usability is improved and the finish can be finished quickly and neatly.

  As described above, this embodiment corresponds to claim 1 and includes a base 3 having a heater 2 provided as a heating means provided at a lower portion of the iron body 1 and a hooking surface member 4 on the lower surface of the base 3. Since the rear tapered portions 50 and 50 are provided at both ends of the rear portion of the hanging surface member 4, a fine portion can be hung by an ironing pulling operation. In addition, the dominant hand can handle either. Further, since it is not hidden behind the hand, the ironing operation can be performed while looking at the rear tapered shapes 50 and 50.

  Next, the iron in the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 16, and the configuration of the iron body 1 other than the one described below will be omitted because it overlaps with the first embodiment.

  On the upper surface of the handle of this embodiment, a switching button 60 for switching the set temperature level of the base 3, a display unit 62 composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying a set temperature level 61 corresponding to the operation of the switch button 60, steam The steam button 63, which is a steam setting section that sets the amount of steam ejected from the iron and can switch the use setting of the steam iron corresponding to the amount of steam to "normal steam", "increase steam", "dry", A steam increase button 64 is provided for ejecting a shot that allows the steam exceeding the normal steam amount to be ejected temporarily.

  In the plan view of the iron in FIG. 9, the display unit 62, the switching button 60, and the like are shown in an easily understandable manner.

  Next, an electrical configuration will be described with reference to FIG. The control unit 65 provided in the iron is configured to perform a series of operations in accordance with a program control sequence stored in a built-in microcomputer storage device (not shown).

  A temperature sensor 66 including a thermistor provided in the base 3, a switching button 60, a steam button 63, and a steam increase button 64 are connected to the input side of the control unit 65. The heater 2 and the display unit 62 are connected to the output side of the control unit 65, respectively.

  Next, the operation of the steam iron having the above configuration will be described. When using the steam iron configured in this way, first, the switching button 60 is operated to set the set temperature level 61. In response to this operation, the heater 2 is energized and the temperature of the base 3 rises.

  The temperature of the base 3 is successively detected by the temperature sensor 66, and the energization of the heater 2 is on / off controlled through the control unit 65 based on this detection signal, and the temperature of the base 3 is kept at the set temperature.

  In this state, the display unit 62 displays the set temperature level 61 by switching between three levels of “low”, “medium”, and “high” depending on whether the temperature of the set temperature level 61 is low or high. As an example, “high” is displayed. Here, the set temperature levels 61 at “low”, “medium”, and “high” are respectively equivalent to the temperatures Ta, Tb, and Tc (Ta <Tb <Tc).

  FIG. 11 is a state transition diagram of the switch button 60 operation. This figure shows the relationship between the switch button 60 for setting the set temperature level 61 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 and the set temperature level 61 that is switched by operating the switch button 60. After energization of the iron is started (step S101), the set temperature level 61 is not set and is turned off (stopped state) (step S102). When the switch button 60 is pressed from this state, the set temperature level 61 first becomes “low” (step S103), and when it is further pressed, it becomes “medium” (step S104), and further becomes “high” (step S105). When the switch button 60 is pressed while 61 is “high”, the operation returns to step S101 and returns to the off state (stopped state).

  FIG. 12 is a display state transition diagram of the display unit 62 when the set temperature level 61 in FIG. 11 is set to “high”. 13 to 16 are diagrams showing the display of the display unit 62 in the respective scenes (steps S201 to S205) of FIG. 12, and the ones displayed below the temperature level 61 are the first to third ones. The temperature display bar 67 indicates how close the base temperature T is to the set temperature level 61 set by turning on or off the blocks 67A, 67B, and 67C.

  FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 17. When the set temperature level 61 is set to “high” (corresponding to the temperature Tc) by the switching button 60, “high” starts blinking on the display unit 62, and the temperature display bar 67 is lit (step S201). FIG. 13 shows the display unit 62 at this time. At this time, since the base temperature T of the base 3 is cold, the temperature display bar 67 still displays white from the first to the third 67A, 67B, 67C. When the base temperature T is raised by the heater 2 as the heating means and the base temperature T reaches the first temperature point T1, the set temperature level “high” 61 remains flashing and the temperature display bar 67 as shown in FIG. The first 67A lights up (step S202). When the base temperature T further rises and reaches the second temperature point T2 (T2> T1), the second 67B of the temperature display bar 67 is also lit as shown in FIG. S203). Further, when the base temperature T rises and finally reaches a temperature Tc corresponding to the set temperature level “high” 61 (T = Tc), the set temperature level “high” 61 display is switched to lighting, and the temperature display as shown in FIG. In the bar 67, the third 67C is turned on, and the first to third 67A, 67B, 67C are all turned on (step S204). When the set temperature level 61 is reached, the temperature display bar 67 is turned off. Then, the user who has confirmed that the temperature display bar 67 has been turned off as shown in FIG. 17 (step S205) uses the iron when the set temperature level 61 is “high” (corresponding to the temperature Tc).

  Further, in FIG. 17, a mark 69 is displayed in the right space 68 of the display “high” of the set temperature level 61. This is a steam mark displayed when the steam button 63 of FIG. 9 is used. In addition to displaying the steam mark 69, the space 68 on the right side of the set temperature level display 61 may be scrolled with a warning message “Please do not touch the hot part”, It is possible to display error messages and various symbols, characters, figures, etc., or combinations thereof.

  Up to this point, the case where the base temperature T of the base 3 starts from a state lower than the temperature corresponding to the set temperature level 61 has been described. However, in actual use, the base temperature T corresponds to the set temperature level 61 set. It may be possible to start from a state higher than the temperature.

  For example, in FIG. 12 to FIG. 17, the set temperature level 61 is “high”, but when the set temperature level 61 is switched from “high” to “low” (corresponding to temperature Ta) by the switch button 60, the base 3 is heated. The temperature T has to be lowered until the temperature Ta is equivalent to “low” without heating at 2. Also in this case, when “high” is switched to “low” with the switching button 60, “low” blinks and the temperature display bar 66 is displayed. As the temperature T decreases and approaches the temperature Ta corresponding to the set temperature level 61 “low”, the first 67A and the second 67B of the temperature display bar 67 are turned on. At this time, the temperature level 61 “low” is still blinking.

  When temperature T falls and reaches temperature Ta corresponding to temperature level 61 “low” (T = Ta), “low” is switched on and all three temperature display bars 67 are turned on 67A, 67B, 67C and can be used. As a notification, the temperature display bar 67 is turned off.

  Here, unlike the LED system, by displaying the temperature level 61 on the liquid crystal display unit 62, it is possible to provide an iron that is easy to see and use for the user.

  Further, by displaying the temperature display bar 67 by turning on or off the first to third blocks 67A, 67B, and 67C in steps, the user can stepwise to the set temperature level 61 set by the base temperature T. You can easily see how close you are.

  As described above, this embodiment corresponds to the second aspect, and the base 3 having the heater 2 serving as a heating means, the temperature sensor 66 serving as a temperature detection unit for detecting the temperature of the base 3, and the base temperature T are arbitrarily set. In accordance with the operation of the switch button 60 that is a temperature setting unit that is set to the set temperature level 61 that is the temperature level of the control unit, the control unit 65 that brings the base temperature T closer to the set temperature level 61 that is set by the switch button 60, and the switch button 60 A display unit 62 for displaying the set temperature level 61 is provided, and the current base temperature T with respect to the set temperature level 61 is displayed on the temperature display bar 67 until the base temperature T reaches the set temperature level 61. As a result, an approximate standard until the base temperature T reaches the set temperature level 61 can be easily known visually.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, it is not limited to the detachable cassette tank 10 and may be a fixed water tank not provided with the lock mechanism. Moreover, the iron only for dry which is not provided with a water tank may be sufficient. Moreover, not only a cordless iron but an iron with a cord may be used.
