Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  The present invention has an optimum steam amount or an arbitrary amount according to the material of the fiber to be ironed. The present invention relates to a steam iron that generates a large amount of steam.

[0002]

[Prior art]

  A conventional general steam iron uses a heater to heat the base that has a vaporization chamber. The temperature of the base is controlled by the surface sensor, and the temperature is controlled to the set temperature. Generated by naturally dropping a fixed amount of water into the vaporization chamber from the dropping nozzle provided at the bottom of the tank The steam is spouted from the steam holes in the base.

[0003]   In this case, if the temperature of the vaporization chamber is high, the evaporation capacity of water is high, and if the temperature is low, evaporation is performed. Due to its low ability, it is generally used for ironing frequently used "cotton". The drop amount of water is adjusted to a suitable 170 ° C.

[0004]   Therefore, in the case of "linen," which has a higher ironing temperature than "cotton," the amount of steam Is insufficient and the wrinkles do not fully grow, and spraying is required, so ironing temperature is better than "cotton". In the case of "chemical fiber" with a low value, the dropped water cannot evaporate completely and comes out from the steam hole It will stain the ground, so stop steaming and ironing or at the temperature of "cotton" They either took out steam and put it on and quickly ironed it.

[0005]   As a method of changing the steam amount according to the base temperature of the iron, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. No. 62-286500 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 146591/1989 A water pump and a control device that controls the amount of water pumped based on the output of the hanging surface sensor. Some have storage.

[0006]   In addition, as described in JP-A-59-222200, a bar for opening and closing the dropping of water into the vaporization chamber A solenoid for controlling the valve or as described in JP-A-62-142596. It has a pump to send water to the liquefaction chamber, and the control means sends water in an amount according to the set temperature. There is

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  The conventional steam iron is a tank containing water regardless of the temperature of the vaporization chamber. A certain amount of water is naturally dropped into the vaporization chamber from the dropping nozzle provided on the bottom of the chamber.

[0008]   Therefore, when the iron is set to "high temperature", the amount of steam is insufficient and "iron temperature" is low. If set to, the evaporation capacity will be insufficient and water will come out from the steam holes. was there.

[0009]   The temperature of the hanging surface is high when the pump water supply is controlled by the output of the hanging surface sensor. When the temperature rises, the amount of water sent increases, but the temperature of the vaporization chamber increases by 20 to 50 ℃ also drops, so when the iron is set to "low", all the water sent evaporates There is a risk that a small amount of water droplets may come out of the steam holes due to insufficient water.

[0010]   In addition, the amount of steam according to the set temperature is the amount of steam according to the material of the fiber. However, since it does not correspond to the temperature of the vaporization chamber as above, a small amount of Water droplets may come out.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is for heating the base hanging surface. Independent heaters for steam and steam generation are installed in the base, and Control of the data independently or in series and at the same time control the water supply of the water supply device that sends water to the vaporization chamber. The control device for controlling the vehicle is provided with a hanging surface sensor and a vaporization chamber sensor.

[0012]

[Action]

  According to the present invention, the control device is a hanging surface sensor for detecting the temperature of the hanging surface of the iron. And the signal from the vaporization chamber sensor that detects the temperature of the vaporization chamber Heating heater for heating the hanging surface of the base and steam generation to keep the temperature at the specified temperature Vaporization chamber sensor that controls the amount of electricity supplied to the vaporization heater and detects the vaporization chamber temperature Signal to control the amount of water to be sent to the vaporization chamber of the water supply device The effect of generating the optimum hanging surface temperature and the optimum amount of steam according to the material of the fiber To do.

【Example】

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014]   FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of a steam iron according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0015]   FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the mounting state.

[0016]   In the figure, 1 is a hanging surface heater that heats the hanging surface 2 of the iron, and 3 is the temperature of the hanging surface. The hanging surface sensor 4 for detecting is a heater independent of the hanging surface heater 1, and is a heater in the vaporization chamber 5. A vaporization heater for generating a chamber, and 6 is a vaporization chamber sensor for detecting the temperature of the vaporization chamber 5. The sir 7 is a base, and the hanging surface heater 1, the hanging surface 2, the vaporization heater 4 and the vaporization chamber 5 has a hanging surface sensor 3 and a vaporization chamber sensor 6, each of which has a hanging surface sensor. The heater 1 and the vaporization heater 4 are used for heating. 8 is a tank and water 9 It is contained and is connected to the vaporization chamber 5 by the water supply device 10. 11 communicates with the vaporization chamber 5 It is a steam hole.

It is a device to send water to.

[0017]   The operation of the embodiment having the above structure will be described below.

[0018]   Due to the heating of the hanging surface heater 1 and the vaporization chamber heater 5, the hanging surface 2 and the vaporization chamber 5 are moved to predetermined positions. When the temperature reaches the temperature and the water supply device 10 operates, the water 9 in the tank 8 is transferred. The steam that has been sent to the vaporization chamber 5 through 0 and vaporized there is ejected from the steam hole 11. To do.

[0019]   However, since the hanging surface heater 1 and the vaporization heater 5 are independent of each other, the temperature of the hanging surface 2 Since the temperature of the vaporization chamber 5 that generates the foam can be independently controlled, the fiber to be ironed The temperature of the hanging surface and the amount of steam can be controlled according to the material.

[0020]   In addition, the relationship between the hanging surface temperature and the amount of steam is calculated between the hanging surface sensor 3 and the vaporization sensor 6. If it is built into the control device 12 so that it has a certain relationship with By setting the temperature or steam amount according to the material of the fiber, The optimum temperature and steam amount can be automatically obtained.

[0021]   It can also be used as a dry iron by stopping the water supply device 10 by another means. It can also be used as a steamer by stopping the hanging heater 1.
