Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steam ejector for removing wrinkles from, for example, clothing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, in this type of steam ejector, a vaporizer heated by a heater and a steam ejector were formed separately. After the water is vaporized by the heat of the vaporized body and turned into steam, it reaches a dispersion chamber of a steam ejection plate, and is then dispersed and ejected from a plurality of steam ejection holes. The reason for distributing and ejecting steam is to improve its penetration into the entire fabric.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, it is difficult for the heat of the vaporized body to be transferred to the dispersion chamber. Condensation occurs in this dispersion chamber, and water droplets are sometimes mixed in with the ejected steam, sometimes wetting the fabric.

The present invention has solved these conventional problems by improving the temperature rise characteristics of the dispersion chamber and preventing dew condensation within the dispersion chamber, eliminating the presence of water droplets in the steam and smoothing wrinkles from clothing. This is because we have made it possible to do this accurately.

Means for Solving the Problem The first means for achieving the above object is to use a vaporizer that is heated by a heater to vaporize supplied water and generate steam, a plurality of steam ejection holes, and a vaporizer that generates steam. It has a dispersion chamber for dispersing and flowing steam to the ejection hole, and a steam ejector made of a material different from the vaporized body, and a steam passage communicates between the vaporized body and the dispersion chamber, and The second means is a vaporizer that is heated by a heater to vaporize the supplied water and generate steam, and a plurality of steam ejection holes and these steam ejection holes. It has a dispersion chamber for dispersing and flowing steam into the holes, and a steam ejection plate formed of a material different from the vaporized body, and a good thermal conductor with a small heat capacity is connected to the inner wall of the dispersion chamber in the dispersion chamber. They are installed with a gap between them.

Effect: In the first means described above, heat is supplied from the vaporized body to the dispersion chamber of the steam jet plate quickly and efficiently via the heat conductor. In the second method, the heat of the inflowing steam quickly raises the temperature of the heat conductor in the dispersion chamber, thereby preventing the steam from condensing.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, a blower main body 2 made of synthetic resin with a cylindrical handle 1 protruding rearward has a vaporizing body 3 made of a good thermal conductor, such as aluminum, inside, and a steam blowing plate at the bottom. 4 is blocked. The vaporizer 3 has a meandering vaporization chamber 5 on its upper surface, and an electric heater 6
is buried there. The upper part of the vaporization chamber 5 is closed with a plate-shaped vaporization chamber lid 7 made of a good thermal conductor such as aluminum.
Furthermore, a steam passage 8 made of a heat insulating material such as rubber is led from its terminal end and communicates with a dispersion chamber 9 of the steam jetting plate 4. A brush 10 is installed around the steam jet plate 4, and a plurality of steam jet holes 11 are formed in communication with the dispersion chamber 9. On the other hand, there is a water tank 1 inside the handle 1.
2 is removably inserted, and a pump device 15 and a thermally responsive valve 16 are interposed in order from the upstream side in a water supply channel 14 leading to a water outlet 13 corresponding to the vaporization chamber 5.

In this embodiment, the pump device 15 is of a manual type, and its hollow operating body 17 is positioned below the handle 1. Reference numerals 18 and 19 indicate reverse valves provided on the water supply side and the water discharge side of the pump device 15, respectively. The heat-responsive valve 16 is adapted to respond to a pimetal 20 attached to the vaporization chamber lid 7, so that the vaporization chamber lid 7, that is, the vaporization chamber 5
When is at a temperature sufficient to vaporize water, bimetallic 20
The circuit is opened by

To describe the operation of the above configuration, the water tank 12 containing water is now attached, the electric heater 6 is energized to heat the vaporized body 3, and the thermally responsive valve 16 is opened.

When the pump device 15 is driven via the operating body 17, the water in the water tank 12 is guided from the water supply channel 14 to the water outlet 13, reaches the vaporization chamber 5, and is vaporized. Then, the steam flows through the steam passage 8 to the dispersion chamber 9 of the steam ejection plate 4, and is finally dispersed and ejected from the steam ejection hole 11.

Incidentally, the upper part of the dispersion chamber 9 of the steam jetting plate 4 is closed with a lid 21 having a small heat capacity such as a thin aluminum plate, and a good thermal conductor 22 having a low heat capacity, such as a thin aluminum plate, is connected between the inner wall of the dispersion chamber 9 and the lid 21 having a small heat capacity, such as a thin aluminum plate. It is installed with a gap between.

In addition, a good thermal conductor 23 made of, for example, an aluminum plate is attached to the steam jetting plate 4 together with a lid 21, and by thermally connecting the dispersion chamber 9 and the vaporizer 3, the vaporizer is substantially The structure is such that the heat from No. 3 is smoothly transferred to the dividing chamber 9. Therefore, as the temperature of the vaporized body 3 rises, the temperature of the dispersion chamber 9 also rises, thereby preventing the steam from condensing.

As a result, in addition to the dispersion chamber 9 being heated by the heat conductor 23, the heat conductor 22 also has a gap between it and the inner wall of the dispersion chamber 9, so that at the beginning of steam ejection, the temperature quickly rises due to the steam heat. This will prevent dew condensation from occurring.

In the embodiment, the thermal conductor 23 is constructed as a separate member from the lid 21, but it may be formed integrally with the lid 21. Furthermore, it may be provided integrally with the vaporizer 3 and connected to the dispersion chamber 9. Good too.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention connects the vaporized body and the dispersion chamber through a steam passage, and also connects the vaporized body and the dispersion chamber with a good thermal conductor, so that as the temperature of the vaporized body 3 rises, the dispersion chamber 9 can also be raised, and heat is quickly and efficiently supplied from the vapor to the dispersion chamber. Therefore, it is possible to improve the temperature rise characteristics of the dispersion chamber, prevent condensation of steam in the dispersion chamber, eliminate the presence of water droplets in the steam, and accurately remove wrinkles from clothing.

In addition, by installing a good thermal conductor with a small heat capacity in the dispersion chamber with a gap between it and the inner wall of the dispersion chamber, the heat of the inflowing steam quickly raises the temperature of the good thermal conductor inside the dispersion chamber, causing condensation of steam. This is something that can be prevented.
