Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to an iron for general household use.

Conventional Conventional Art Conventionally, in this type of iron, the
As shown in the figure, a base 2 page 2 having a heater 1, a temperature setting hand 3 for arbitrarily setting the temperature of the base 2, a state detection means 4 for detecting the stationary state of the iron, and The control means 6 is configured to cut off the power supply to the heater 1 after the state detection means 4 detects that the heater 1 is stationary for a certain period of time. After the power is cut off, the output of the state detection means 4 is turned OFF from QN,
Or, once it is reversed from OFF to ON, the control means 6
In some cases, energization to the heater 1 is started again, or in some cases, as shown in FIGS.
The temperature setting position set by the temperature setting means 3' is returned to the "off" position 6, and no matter how the output of the state detection means 4 changes thereafter, the heater 1 will not be energized unless the temperature setting means 3' is operated again. It was supposed to not start.

The only problem that the invention attempts to solve is17, with such a configuration, for safety reasons, electricity to the heater is cut off after a certain period of time T.However, unexpected vibrations and earthquakes may occur. If the output of the condition detection means is reversed even once due to snow, energization to the heater will start, so if the base is left stationary with it attached to the floor etc., there is a risk of burning the floor surface or fibers. 〕is. In addition, if the user does not start energizing the heater unless the temperature setting means is operated, if the user is away from the iron for some reason during ironing, even if slightly longer than the specified time T, the ironer will not be able to start ironing again. In order to do this, the temperature setting means must be operated again, which is very inconvenient.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to restart the supply of electricity to the heater with a safe and simple operation after the iron is left stationary for a certain period of time and the supply of electricity to the heater is cut off by the control means. .

Means for solving the problem and technical means of the present invention for solving the above problem include a state detection means for detecting a resting state of the iron, and after the state detection means detects a resting state for a certain period of time, In the configuration including a control means for cutting off power supply to the heater, the output of the state detection means is inverted multiple times after the power supply to the heater is cut off after the above-mentioned period of rest;
In this case, the control means restarts energization of the heater.

For production The effect of this technical means is as follows.

In other words, after the iron is left stationary for a certain period of time and the power to the heater is cut off by the control means, simply by moving the iron back and forth several times, the output of the status detection means is reversed multiple times, and as a result, the heater is turned off again. Power starts and ironing can be done.

As a result, there is no need to accidentally start energizing the heater due to unexpected vibrations or earthquakes, or to operate the temperature setting means again, unlike in the past, and it is now possible to start energizing the heater safely and easily. It will become.

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

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 7 is a base having a heater 8, 9 is a temperature setting means for setting the base 7 to a desired temperature, state detection means is for detecting the stationary state of the 10Fi iron, and 11 is the above-mentioned state. For a certain period of time T1 by the detection means 10
It is a control means that cuts off the power supply to the heater 8 when the stationary state of the heater 8 is detected.

To explain the operation in the above configuration, if the user forgets to turn off the power after ironing is finished, or leaves the iron in the middle of ironing due to something else, etc., and the iron is left in a heated state, the settings can be set in advance. When the predetermined time T1 has elapsed, the control means 11 cuts off the power supply to the heater 8. Next, in order to start energizing the heater 8, it is necessary to operate the temperature setting means 9 again to set the temperature of the base 7 to the desired temperature, or to intentionally move the iron back and forth several times. . The timing of the energization of the beef 8 and the output of the state detection means 10 when the iron is intentionally moved back and forth is shown in FIG. That is, if the user intentionally moves the iron back and forth several times in order to restart the ironing 6 base, the output of the state detection means 10 will be reversed several times in accordance with the movement of the iron, but at this time, Within a preset fixed time T1 from when the output of the state detection means 1o is once reversed, the number N is also preset.
If the output of
energization is started. In other words, energization to the heater 8 is not restarted unless the output of the state detection means 1o is reversed a certain number of times N within a certain period of time 72.

As a result, if the user forgets to turn off the power after ironing and leaves the iron in a heated state, the power to the heater 8 will be cut off after a certain period of time T1 as described above, and then the unexpected earthquake will occur. Even if the iron, which was in a free-standing state, falls over, the output of the state detection means 10 will not be reversed a certain number of times N, and therefore the power to the heater will continue to be cut off, preventing the floor surface, textiles, etc. from being scorched. Safety can be ensured without any problems. In addition, even if the power to the heater 8 is cut off after the user temporarily leaves the iron while ironing is finished, he or she may have to iron the iron again without intending to do so. By moving the iron back and forth several times, the heater 8-\ starts to be energized, and ironing can be resumed without the hassle of operating the temperature setting means 9. Further, when the heater 8 is started to be energized by moving the iron, the set temperature of the base 7 can be set so as to return to the initially set temperature, thereby improving usability.

Effects of the Invention In this way, the present invention allows the iron to be left stationary for a certain period of time, and after the heater power is cut off by the control means, by intentionally operating the iron, the power to the heater is restarted, and the iron can be easily ironed. Not only does it have the effect of allowing you to start hanging again, but it also has the effect of being highly safe because if the iron falls over due to an unexpected earthquake, the power to the heater will not be restarted.
