Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ironing board of a clothes press for ironing washed clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A garment made of wool or the like can be beautifully finished by spraying steam on the ironing process after washing. FIG. 3 shows a conventional clothing press machine for simultaneously performing ironing and steam removal. This press machine comprises a horizontally arranged lower ironing board 1 and an upper ironing board 2 which is vertically movable. There is.

Inside the respective crimping surfaces of the upper and lower ironing boards 1 and 2, there are air suction chambers 3 and 4 connected to a vacuum fan 9 and a heating chamber 5 connected to a heating steam introducing pipe 10.
6 are provided adjacent to each other, and the tips of steam blow-out pipes 7 and 8 for blowing out steam toward the pressure-bonding surfaces enter into the air suction chambers 5 and 6, respectively.

Further, the rear ends of the steam outlet pipes 7 and 8 are connected via a solenoid valve 11 and an external pipe 31 to a steam reservoir 33 equipped with a drain pipe 32.
Is connected to a steam introducing pipe 34 connected to a steam supply source.

In the press machine having the above-mentioned structure, steam is introduced into the heating chambers 5 and 6 to heat the crimping surfaces of the ironing boards 1 and 2 for press working, while steam is introduced into the steam reservoir 33. , Here, the water contained in the steam is separated. The steam from which the water has been separated is jetted into the air suction chambers 3 and 4 via the external pipe 31 and the electromagnetic valve 11, and when the internal pressure of the air suction chambers 3 and 4 rises, the steam is discharged onto the surface of each pressure bonding surface. The pad materials 12 and 13 for covering are inserted and sprayed on the clothes to make the clothes even.

Upon completion of the purging process, the opening / closing valve 16 communicating with the air suction chambers 3 and 4 is opened to suck the steam sprayed on the clothes.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional clothes pressing machine, the steam containing a large amount of water from the steam supply source is introduced into the steam reservoir 33 to separate the water, and only the steam is supplied to each air. Although it is sent to the suction chambers 3 and 4, since the external pipe 31 that connects the vapor reservoir 33 and the solenoid valve 11 is long, steam is cooled in the external pipe 31 to cause dew condensation again, and the generated water is There is a problem that it is directly sent to the crimping surface of each ironing board 1, 2.

In particular, in the external pipe 31, the solenoid valve 11
Since it is not always opened, there is a characteristic that dew condensation easily occurs between the vapor reservoir 33 and the solenoid valve 11.

As described above, the dewed water content is changed to the pad material 1.
If it adheres to Nos. 2 and 13, stains will be applied to the clothes, or the dewed portion inside the pad material will have poor breathability, causing unevenness in the blowing out of steam, so that the clothes cannot be sufficiently unevenly finished.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above problems and to provide an ironing board for a clothes pressing machine which does not cause dew condensation in the steam of the spots and can perform stable ironing.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to the inside of the crimping surface of an ironing board, with an air suction chamber and a heating chamber into which steam is introduced being adjacent to each other. Since the suction chamber faces the tip of the steam blow-out pipe toward the crimping surface, the inside of the heating chamber is provided with a steam reservoir equipped with a drain pipe, and the structure in which the steam blow-out pipe is connected to the heating chamber is adopted. is there.

[0012]

In the above structure, the steam is introduced into the steam reservoir of the heating chamber to separate the moisture, and only the steam is introduced into the steam blow-out pipe and blown out from the pressure-bonded surface. In this structure, the distance between the vapor reservoir and the solenoid valve is shortened, and the vapor does not cool, so that dew condensation does not occur.

[0013]

1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to the lower ironing board 1 of the clothes press shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, a large number of suction holes 14 communicating with the air suction chamber 3 are formed in the crimping surface 1a of the ironing board covered with the pad material 12, and the air suction chamber 3 has a suction passage 15 for connection with a vacuum fan. Are connected.

An air cylinder 17 is provided in the suction passage 15.
An on-off valve 16 driven by a solenoid valve 18 connected to a compressed air supply source (not shown) is connected to an air cylinder 17 thereof.

The heating chamber 5 adjacent to the lower side of the air suction chamber 3 has a bottom surface 5a formed as an inclined surface which is inclined downward, and a vapor reservoir 19 is integrally formed on a part of the bottom surface 5a. ing.

An inlet pipe 10 connected to a steam supply source (not shown) is connected to one side surface of the steam reservoir 19, and steam is blown out through a solenoid valve 11 to the side surface of the steam reservoir 19 opposite to it. The pipe is connected.

A drain port 21 to which the drain pipe 20 is connected is provided below the vapor reservoir 19, and a shield plate 22 facing the vapor introducing pipe 10 is attached inside the vapor reservoir 19.

The solenoid valve 11 of the steam outlet pipe 7 and the solenoid valve 18 of the air cylinder 17 are connected to the control circuit of the clothing press machine, and operate so as to interlock with the operation of introducing steam or compressed air. Controlled.

In the ironing board of the embodiment having the above structure, when steam containing moisture is supplied to the steam reservoir 19 from the outside, the supplied steam hits the shielding plate 22 and the interior changes due to a sudden change in direction. Water is separated.

The separated water is drained from the drain port 21 at the bottom of the steam reservoir 19, while the steam without water is introduced into the upper space of the heating chamber 5 and the solenoid valve 11. In this case, since the bottom surface 5a of the heating chamber 5 is inclined downward toward the vapor reservoir 19, the dew condensation water generated inside the heating chamber 5 flows through the bottom surface 5a to the vapor reservoir 19 and the drain port 21.
Discharged from.

On the other hand, when the solenoid valve 11 is opened, steam is jetted from the steam outlet pipe 7 into the air suction chamber 3. When the inside of the air suction chamber 3 is filled with steam, the steam is attached to the pressure-bonding surface 1
It is blown out from the pad material 12 through the suction hole 14 of a and adheres to the clothes to make it even.

When the purging process is completed, the solenoid valve 11 is closed and the solenoid valve 18 of the air cylinder 17 is actuated to operate the opening / closing valve 1.
6 is opened and the vapor adhering to the clothes is sucked.

In the above structure, since the distance between the vapor reservoir 19 and the solenoid valve 11 of the vapor outlet pipe 7 is extremely short, the vapor is cooled and does not condense, and only the vapor with a small water content is ejected. It can be ejected from the pipe 7.

Further, in the conventional structure shown in FIG. 3, the steam containing a large amount of water was introduced into the heating chamber 5 and circulated, but in the structure of the above embodiment, only the steam from which the water is separated is heated. Since it is introduced into No. 5, there is an advantage that the heating efficiency is improved and the ironing board can be heated in a short time.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment in which the present invention is applied to the upper ironing board 2 of the clothes pressing machine shown in FIG. The basic structure of this ironing board 2 is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but the bottom surface 6a of the heating chamber 6 is
The drainage port 23 is provided on the bottom surface 6 toward the drainage port 23.
The difference is that a is tilted downward. The bottom surface 6a of the heating chamber 6 may be parallel to the crimping surface, and the ironing board itself may be inclined so that the dew condensation water flows to the drain port 23.

Since the other structure and operation are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The structure of the present invention need not be applied to both the upper and lower ironing boards to be crimped, but may be applied to only one ironing board. For example, depending on the type of clothes to be used, steam may be blown out only from the lower or upper ironing board. In that case, the structure of the present invention is applied only to the ironing board having a steam blowing function.

Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the ironing board which is crimped in the vertical direction but also to the ironing board which is crimped in the horizontal direction.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the vapor reservoir is provided in the heating chamber and the distance from the vapor reservoir to the vapor blowing pipe is shortened, the condensation of the vapor can be prevented, and only the vapor is ejected to the pressure bonding surface. You can Therefore, it is possible to prevent stains on clothes due to dew condensation water and dew condensation inside the pad material.
