Hereinafter, an example of a steam setting operation using the steam setting apparatus according to the present invention will be explained.

A required amount of water is poured into the boiler 11 through its water supply pipe (not shown), and the lid plate 2 is opened to place the fabric to be pleated into the steam treatment chamber 1, and the fabric to be pleated is held in the desired form. A required number of paper pattern pairs are stacked and charged so that the direction of the folds is from the steam inlet hole 12 to the steam outlet hole 16. When inserting the sand layer, a suitable elastic plate is inserted between each pattern pair.

FIG. 6 is a top view of a pair of paper patterns sandwiching the fabric to be steam-set, FIG. 7 is an enlarged explanatory view of the pair of paper patterns cut along the line 6, and FIG. 8 is a laminated line of the pair of paper patterns in the steam treatment chamber 1. Enlarged explanatory diagram viewed from the direction perpendicular to the folds of the paper pattern showing , No. 9
The figure is a sectional view of the elastic plate. In the figure, 26 is a pattern pair, 27 is a pattern, 28 is a fabric, and 29 is an elastic plate. The elastic board 29 is made of a polyurethane foam board 62 having a core of a refillable duralumin board 61 having a large number of small holes 60 on its entire surface.

The elastic plate 29 is formed into a rectangular size that is in close contact with the side plates 6 and 8 of the steam heat treatment chamber 1 and is spaced at a constant distance from the side plates 5 and 7 of the steam heat treatment chamber 1. This elastic plate 2
9, the space between the joint surfaces of each pattern pair 26 is airtightly filled, and due to the good thermal conductivity of the duralumin board 61 constituting the core, steam heat passes through the pattern 27 more evenly to the fabric to be treated. 28, and good setting is achieved not only in the pleats but also throughout the fabric.

As shown in FIG. 6, after stacking and loading the pattern pair 26 holding the fabric to be pleated and the elastic plate 29 into the steaming chamber 1, the lid plate 2 is closed and the locking fittings 24 and 25 are engaged. do. (82
The two-point chain 1166 in Figure 6 is the pattern pair 26 and the elastic plate 2.
9) In this state, pattern pair 2
6 and the elastic plate 29 are in a moderately compressed state. Then, when the power supply switch i is closed (see Fig. 10), the electric heater 21 inside the cover plate 2 will open.
, and the electric heater 10 that heats the boiler 11 is energized. Electricity is supplied to the electric heater 10 through an electromagnetic switch 66 controlled by a thermostat switch 64 and a timer switch 65.
・、.

At this point, the operating temperature of the thermostatic switch 64 is set to a humidity below one degree of water evaporation, for example 9010 degrees. Therefore, substantially no steam is generated within the boiler 11. After the required time has passed, the steaming treatment chamber 1
Since the pattern 27, fabric 28, and elastic plate 29 inside and inside are sufficiently preheated by the conductive heat from the boiler 11,
At that point, the operating temperature of the thermostat switch 34 is set to 9.
Change from 0°0 to 120'O. After a short time,
The water in the boiler 11 is heated to 100°O and begins to evaporate. The generated steam flows from inside the boiler 11 to the steam inflow hole 12.
The steam treatment chamber 1 is entered through the steam treatment chamber 1. In the steam treatment chamber, the folds of the fabric 28 held between the pattern paper 27 and the pattern paper 27
The steam flows gently through the small gap between the steam and the steam outlet 16, steaming the dough. The steam that passes through the steam outlet hole 16f and enters the hollow chamber of the side plate 7 flows in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, and is discharged to the outside through the steam discharge pipe 15 with the cock 14. By keeping the cock 14 in an appropriately open state during the steaming treatment, the steam flow through the fabric charged in the steaming treatment chamber 1, that is, the steam flows slowly in the direction of the folds of the fabric to be treated. flow is ensured.

By providing a check valve that opens at low pressure at the opening of the steam discharge pipe 15, the steam heat treatment chamber can be reliably maintained at a constant prepressure state, regardless of the delicate joints of the cock 14. At the same time, the flow of steam within the steam treatment chamber 1 can also be ensured.

Helps raise.

Usually, another steam conduit is connected to the steam discharge pipe 15, and the steam discharged from the steam discharge pipe 15 is guided to an appropriate condenser or to the outdoor atmosphere for a certain period of time after the start of electricity supply to the steam heat setting device. , the steam heat treatment chamber 1 is preheated by setting the operating temperature of the thermostat switch 64 to about 90°0, so that the steam from the boiler 11 is heated to 6
This is to prevent water droplets from coming into contact with the treated fabric at normal temperature charged into the laboratory 1 and staining the fabric to be treated. When the steaming treatment time set in advance by the timer 18 has elapsed, the timer switches 35 and 37 are activated to cut off the power to the electric heaters 10 and 21, and the pie'lot lamps 68 and 69 are turned off.
) The lamp 40 lights up and the buzzer 41 goes off to notify the end of the steaming time. After waiting for the temperature of the steaming chamber 1 to fall, the lid plate 2 is opened and the pair of paper patterns 26 and the elastic plate 29 which sandwich the fabric to be treated are taken out, and the steaming process is completed.

In addition, as a method for preheating the fabric to be steam-heated, it is possible to change the operating temperature of the thermostat switch 64 at the time of transition to the preheating stage as described above.
4 operating temperature range from the beginning of the moth to the water shortage detection temperature, for example 120'
0, and when evaporation has not yet occurred after power is applied to the electric heater 10 (boiler 11J), steam is supplied from the air inlet 45 (see m in Figure 4) provided above the full water level of the boiler 11. A large amount of air may be introduced compared to the amount of air generated. The air introduced from the air inlet 45 flows through the steam inflow hole 12 - the steam heat treatment chamber 1 - the steam outflow hole 13 - the hollow chambers of the side plates 5 to 8 - and the steam release pipe 15, and flows through the steamed cloths 1 to 8. Gradually preheat. After the required preheating time,
When the supply of air into the boiler 11 is stopped, the steaming process automatically shifts from the preheating stage to the steaming stage.

In the embodiment described above, one thermostat is used to control the temperature of the hot water inside the boiler 11 during the preheating stage and to stop supplying electricity to the electric heater 10 when there is a shortage of hot water in the boiler 11. A thermostat that controls the supply of electricity to the heater 10 to control the water temperature in the boiler 11 to be below the evaporation temperature, and a boiler 1
A separate thermostat is provided to stop the power supply to the 1st heat ★-10 when there is a shortage of hot water in the 1st temperature, and the thermostat is automatically switched by a timer switch when transitioning from the preheating stage to the steaming stage of the steaming process using both thermostats. You may also use it. FIG. 11 is an electric circuit diagram similar to that shown in FIG. 10, in which two thermostats for controlling power supply to the electric heater 10 are installed. The difference between FIG. 11 and FIG. 10 is that a preheating thermostat switch 42 and a timer switch 43 are provided to maintain the water in the boiler 11 at a preheating temperature of, for example, 90°O. In Figure 11, 44 is a temperature sensing element of the thermostat switch 42.0 When using the preheating thermostat switch 42, the operating temperature of the preheating thermostat switch 42 is set to a temperature below the water evaporation temperature, for example 90°0, and other thermostat switches The operating temperature of 64 is set as 120'a.The power switch 63 is closed and each electric heater 1
0.21 (at this time, timer switch 65.
37-43 are in the state shown. ), when a predetermined preheating time has elapsed, the timer 18 automatically switches the contact of the timer switch 46 from position A to position I. As a result, the supply of electricity to the electric heater 10 is controlled by the thermostat switch 64. Therefore, according to the steam heat treatment apparatus having the control device shown in the electrical circuit diagram of FIG. 11, switching from the preheating stage to the steaming stage is automatically performed.

As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, the waste steam used in the steam treatment of the textile products to be treated is introduced into the hollow chambers of the side plates 5 to 8 of the steam treatment chamber 1, and 5-8
Since it is used for heating and keeping warm for each side plate of the steam heat treatment chamber, a separate heater is installed on each side plate of the steam heat treatment chamber, and energy is supplied to the heater (axial energy) to heat and keep each side plate warm.Compared to conventional steam heat treatment equipment, it consumes much more energy. You can save money. Also, the cost of heater placement can be saved.

In the apparatus of the present invention, the new steam always flows gradually and gradually through the textile products to be treated (especially the pleats) in the steaming treatment chamber and heats the textile products to be treated. It is impossible to reliably steam the product at the required temperature and set it sufficiently◇
4.1 According to the device of the present invention, the required steam X setting can be performed with an extremely small amount of steam due to its configuration, so the steam generating device can be of an extremely simple configuration. . For example, in the case of a device for setting skirt fabric for 5 seconds, the power required is 2! 41 degrees is sufficient.

The device of the invention is particularly suitable for steam-setting relatively small numbers of woolen textile products, such as skirt fabrics, to the extent of sprinkling.

In the pre-starting embodiment, the steam generation chamber is constructed as a boiler type, but it may be of an instant evaporation type in which water droplets are dropped or flowed down onto a heating plate. Moreover, the steam generation chamber does not necessarily need to be provided adjacently below the steam heat treatment chamber. If the steam generation chamber is not installed under the bottom plate of the steam treatment chamber, a heater may be buried in the bottom plate of the steam treatment chamber, or a hollow chamber may be formed in the bottom plate and the steam after steam treatment may be introduced therein. do.
