The present invention relates to an automatic steam ejection apparatus for electric irons used at home.

If you want to use a steam device while ironing wrinkled cloth using an electric iron, it is necessary to adjust the temperature control switch attached to the electric iron to "steam", and then use the steam-dryer conversion button according to the "steam" position. In addition to the hassle of the top and the wrong operation frequently occurs, when the iron is stored after the ironing is finished to remove the entire amount of water from the bucket in the iron to prevent corrosion of the iron plate, and then iron the iron plate There was a problem in that the power consumption naturally due to heating and to remove moisture and moisture in the iron plate area.

In this invention, the steam-driver side of the electric iron

When the switch of the round button is set to the "steam" position, the steam is automatically supplied according to the temperature by the action of the bimetal, thereby improving the conventional problem of operating the switch according to the temperature control switch and the conversion button, and even after using the iron. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic steam ejection device for an electric iron that cuts off the water supply at a certain low temperature and the water already supplied to the iron heating plate is dried by the heat to minimize the power consumption.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention consists of a bucket (1) and the connecting rod (2) and bimetal (3) inside the front of the electric iron, the bucket (1) is composed of a water passage (4) and the needle valve (5), the connecting rod ( One end of the 2) is formed to be connected to the needle bar (5), but the connecting rod (2) is the upper and lower springs (6, 7) to receive an elastic force to form a right angle with the transfer plate (8), The transfer rod 9 formed parallel to the connecting rod 2 at right angles to the transfer plate 98 is supported by the transfer spring 10 and connected to the disc bimetal 3.

In the drawings, reference numeral 11 denotes a display screen, 12 a temperature control switch, 13 an iron heating plate, and 14 a fixed rod.

The bimetal 3 of the present invention having the above structure and the lower end of the transmission rod 9 connected to each other are fixedly installed at the upper end of the transmission plate 8 and elastically supported by the transmission spring 10, and the transmission plate 8 The connecting rods 2 installed at right angles to each other are parallel to the transfer rods 9, and receive the elastic force by the upper and lower springs 6 and 7 based on the transfer plate 8, so that the Y-shaped fixing rods 14 have a cross-section. The lower portion of the connecting rod (2) is passed through the water passage (4) filled with water so as to be in close contact with the notch portion through which the water formed in the center of the needle valve (5) passes. Although having the needle valve 5 is connected to the base screen (11).

When operating the device according to the present invention made in this way when the iron heating plate 13 is heated in accordance with the position of the "steam" of the temperature control switch 12 placed on the front of the iron handle, the bimetal (3) is flat and bimetal and The connected transmission rod 9 rises above the compression force of the transmission spring 10.

The lifting force at this time raises the connecting rod (2) and the transfer plate (8) and the transfer rod (9) formed fixed in the "h" shape, so that the connecting rod (2) blocking the notch of the needle valve (5) It is separated from the needle valve (5). In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the water in the channel 4 passes through a hole formed in the center of the notch portion of the needle valve 5 and falls on the base screen 11, which is a part of the already heated iron heating plate, and the foreign matter is separated from the base screen ( Due to the high temperature of 11), it evaporates into water vapor and is ejected into a hole formed under the iron heating plate.

At this time, of course, even if the temperature control switch 12 is set to a scale other than "steam", the bimetal (3) is operated when the connecting rod (2) is raised unless it is in the "OFF" state, so as to prevent the upper spring (6). The connecting rod (2) is inserted only when the tip of the connecting rod (2) is inserted into a space of the fixed rod (14), that is, the cross section forms an inverse "Y" shape, and the scale is aligned to the "steam" position of the temperature controller (12). This allows you to freely move up and down, and works well on ironing that doesn't require steam.

In addition, if the power is turned off after ironing is completed, the temperature of the iron heating plate 13 is lowered, so the bimetal 3 is contracted and the connecting rod 2 is lowered by the force of the spring 6 so that the needle valve 5 is installed at the center of the needle valve 5. Since the connecting rod 2 is in close contact with the notch part and the supply of water is cut off, water can be prevented from flowing to the base screen 11.

On the other hand, since the water already supplied to the base screen 11 is evaporated by the heat of the base screen 1, it is possible to keep the base screen always in a dry state when the iron is stored.

By using the device according to the present invention as described above, if you place the temperature control switch only in the "steam" position without the cumbersome operation of the conventional iron that has to operate both the steam ejection lever and the temperature control lever during ironing steam and iron The temperature of the heating plate is automatically adjusted, and even in case of storing after using iron, conventionally, after removing all the water from the bucket in the iron, the iron heating plate must be heated for several minutes to solve the problem that the moisture in the iron heating plate is removed. By placing the temperature control switch at a temperature other than "steam", the water supply to the iron hotplate is cut off and the already supplied water is evaporated by the heat of the iron hotplate, so that the iron hotplate is conventionally removed to remove moisture. The effect of completely solving the drawback of wasting power by heating can be obtained.
