Description

Steam iron

The present invention relates to a steam iron, and more specifically, to the ironing two steam supply hose and the steam exhaust hose connected to the steam iron main body when ironing so as not to be in contact with the surrounding objects frequently or interfere with convenience Prevents waste of heat source by allowing the steam staying inside the steam iron to be recovered inside the steam generator without being exhausted even if the steam iron is not used or the internal pressure is high and the temperature is high. And it relates to a steam iron that can increase the thermal efficiency.

As is generally known, a steam iron presses clothes with heat of a hot plate, and the legs are ironed using hot steam, unlike a general iron.

Of course, the steam iron is a household house for generating high temperature steam by heating the water in the state placed in the tank disposed inside the main body of the iron and steam generated by a separate steam generating boiler, such as a hose It is divided into a commercial steam iron which is supplied by the tubular body and sprayed through the iron.

On the other hand, among the steam iron as described above, in particular, the configuration of a commercial steam iron is shown in FIG.

As shown, the general steam iron body 10 has at least three first, second, and third chambers 11, 12, 13 in communication with each other by a conduit 14 and a third chamber 13 therein. The steam injection hole 15 penetrates through the bottom surface of the main body 10 is formed.

In addition, an opening / closing valve 21 is disposed between the first and second chambers 11 and 12, and the opening / closing valve 21 is interlocked by an operation of the handle 20 provided below the handle 30. It is installed as organically as possible.

Meanwhile, a steam supply hose 41 and a steam exhaust hose 42 are arranged in the first chamber 11, and the steam supply hose 41 is connected to the steam generating boiler 50.

Referring to the operation of the general steam iron configured as described above are as follows.

That is, the steam generated in the steam generating boiler 50 is introduced into the first chamber 11 through the steam supply hose 41 as represented by the solid arrow in the drawing, the handle 30 and the handle ( When the handle 20 is grasped while the handle 20 is held, the opening / closing valve 21 interlocked with the handle 20 moves upward, and the pipe 14 connecting the first and second chambers 11 and 12 is opened. Open.

Therefore, the steam that has stayed in the first chamber 11 passes through the conduit 14 and passes through the second chamber 12 and the third chamber 13, and then is injected outside through the steam injection hole 15.

At this time, when the pressure of the handle 20 is released, the on / off valve 21 closes the pipe 14 connecting the first and second chambers 11 and 12 to block further steam from being exhausted to the outside. When the steam pressure in the first chamber 11 is increased, the steam is partially exhausted to the outside through the steam exhaust hose 42.

However, the following problems occurred in the general steam iron.

That is, when ironing by a structure in which two steam supply hoses 41 and steam exhaust hoses 42 are installed so as to communicate with the first chamber 11 disposed inside the main body 10, frequently with the surrounding objects. There was a problem that was inconvenient to use due to contact or interference.

In addition, since the steam remaining in the interior of the first chamber 11 is exhausted to the outside through the steam exhaust hose 42 when the internal pressure is increased, the steam is exhausted, resulting in a problem that the heat source is wasted economically. It became.

In addition, the high temperature and high pressure steam staying inside the first chamber 11 cannot continuously stay inside the first chamber 11, and if a certain internal pressure and temperature is reached without using a steam iron, a part of the steam may be partially lost. Since it is naturally exhausted to the outside, the steam generating boiler 50 needs to be operated again as much as the amount of steam exhausted, thereby retaining another problem of low thermal efficiency.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, that is, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional steam iron as described above, ironing by unifying the two steam supply hose and steam exhaust hose connected to the steam iron body If you do not provide frequent contact or interference with the surrounding objects to provide a steam iron that provides convenience for use.

Another object of the present invention is that the steam staying inside the main body of the steam iron does not use the steam iron or even if the internal pressure is increased and the temperature is increased, it is recovered to the inside of the steam generating boiler without being exhausted to the outside. It is to provide a steam iron that can prevent waste and increase thermal efficiency.
