Definitions

  • a drying and pressing apparatus for items of clothing which has a flexible pressing dummy which can be subjected to action, from the inside, by an air stream generated by a fan is also known.
  • the apparatus is provided with a heater for heating the air stream.
  • the apparatus can be set in operation by rotation of a rotary knob, with the result that the fan and the heater are started in order to dry and press an item of clothing mounted on the pressing dummy and, via the angle of rotation of the rotary knob, it is possible to set a duration during which the fan and the heater remain in operation. During the preselected duration, the rotary knob rotates back to the starting position.
  • a method of operating a drying and pressing apparatus for items of clothing has a flexible pressing dummy which can be subjected to action, from an inside, of an air stream generated by a fan, and further has an program-input device.
  • the method includes the step of setting a multiplicity of different operating programs by adjustment of the program-input device.
  • the apparatus is equipped with the adjustable program-input device for selecting an operating program.
  • a multiplicity of different operating programs can be set by adjustment of the program-input device. This ensures straightforward operation of the drying and pressing apparatus.
  • the apparatus is equipped with a switch for starting the preselected operating program. It is thus possible for the operating program, once selected, to be started via actuation of the start switch. This ensures straightforward operation of the drying and pressing apparatus. Actuation of the start switch, when a preselected program is started, starts the fan for the air stream and, if appropriate, a heating device for heating the air stream.
  • the fan is switched on just prior to the heating device and, at the end of the operating program, the fan is switched off prior to the heating device. Staggering the times retains the initial maximum power consumption at a relatively low level, with the result that the power supply is not overloaded even for a short period of time. Switching on the heating device following the fan and switching it off prior to the fan ensures good heat dissipation from the heating coils of the heating device, which contains a permanent heater, and results in that the heating device is not adversely affected.
  • a multiplicity of different operating programs can be set by adjustment of the program-input device. It is preferably possible to set three different operating programs by adjustment of the program-input device.
  • a control device For each operating program, a control device stores a predetermined amount of work in dependence on parameters such as volume flow (l/s) of the air stream, the temperature of the air stream or the duration of the air stream, or, for each operating program, a control device stores a predetermined duration and/or a predetermined temperature and/or a temperature profile over the duration for the air stream.
  • parameters such as volume flow (l/s) of the air stream, the temperature of the air stream or the duration of the air stream, or, for each operating program, a control device stores a predetermined duration and/or a predetermined temperature and/or a temperature profile over the duration for the air stream.
  • the amount of work or duration and/or the temperature and/or the temperature profile of an operating program are/is predetermined in dependence on the material of an item of clothing which is to be treated, and account is taken of the amount of work or the temperature and/or the temperature profile and/or the duration in dependence on the water-absorption capability of the material of the item of clothing which is to be pressed, and the amount of work or the duration and/or the temperature and/or the temperature profile are/is longer and/or higher in the case of material with a high level of water-absorption capability, such as flannel, than in the case of material with a lower level of water-absorption capability, such as silk.
  • the end of a preselected operating program in particular the end of the heating phase, is reached when the integral of the power consumed over time corresponds to the amount of work stored for the preselected operating program and/or when the duration predetermined for an operating program has elapsed.
  • the operating programs include:
  • a heat accumulator which is part of the heating device, to be preheated or charged to a predetermined quantity of heat.
  • the preheating, or charging, of the heat accumulator is started.
  • the start switch only when preheating is completed, the operating program is started.
  • an indicating device preferably an indicator lamp, indicates that the heat accumulator is being preheated or charged or has been preheated or charged.
  • the heat accumulator has been preheated and is retained at the preheated level and, once a predetermined duration of preferably 30 minutes has elapsed, a pressing operating program does not start, an acoustic and/or optical signal are/is emitted, and/or the apparatus is switched off, with the result that the apparatus can only be operated again by actuation of the main switch, and/or the apparatus is switched into a rest mode in which the preheating of the heat accumulator is switched off, the rest mode being terminated by actuation of the start switch or some other input device.
  • a cold ventilation process with a predetermined duration is provided in order to fix the dried and/or pressed item of clothing.
  • the fan and/or the heating device are/is switched off and an acoustic and/or optical signal are/is emitted, in order that the user is informed of the fact that the operating program has been completed.
  • the operating program is stopped by actuation of the stop switch and, within a predetermined duration of preferably 30 seconds, the start switch of the operating program is actuated, then the operating program is continued at the point at which it was stopped. Once the predetermined duration of preferably 30 seconds has elapsed, actuation of the start switch causes the set operating program to start from the beginning.
  • a main switch is also provided for switching the apparatus on and off.
  • the apparatus is initialized following actuation of the main switch, the function of at least one current-carrying component, preferably of all current-carrying components, being checked via respective test routines. If one or more malfunctions of components of the apparatus are detected, the apparatus is only partially freed for operation, if at all.
  • the apparatus is provided with a defect memory in which malfunctions of components of the apparatus that are detected during initialization or during operation of the apparatus are stored and can be read out again.
  • the defect memory is interrogated and, in the presence of stored malfunctions, the apparatus is only partially freed for operation, if at all.
  • the apparatus has a top framework and a bottom framework, the pressing dummy having one section connected to the top framework and one section connected to the bottom framework, and it being possible for the top framework to be retracted into a retracted position in the bottom framework and extended out of the bottom framework into an extended position.
  • a locking device for locking the top framework in relation to the bottom framework in the retracted position and/or the extended position
  • an unlocking input device for unlocking the locking device, in which case, upon actuation of the unlocking input device, the locking device is unlocked and retained in the unlocked position for a predetermined unlocking duration.
  • the user is capable of displacing the top framework in relation to the bottom framework into either the retracted position or the extended position.
  • the locking device automatically drops back into the locked state and, when one of the end positions, such as the retracted position or the extended position, is reached, the locking device automatically locks in this end position.
  • the locking device is locked in the respective end position. Reliable locking is thus possible when one of the end positions is reached.
  • the locking device has an electric drive, preferably an electromagnetic lifting drive, which, for unlocking purposes, is operated over an initial breakaway duration of preferably 0.03 to 0.5 s at a high power and over a following holding duration of preferably 1.5 to 1.97 s at a low power, which is lower than the high power.
  • the locking device is disposed on the bottom framework and has a bolt which, for locking purposes, is brought into engagement with a top or bottom undercut provided on the top framework. Disposed between the top and the bottom undercuts is a sliding rail via which the bolt slides when the locking device is located in the locked position and the top framework is located in an intermediate position between the retracted position and the extended position.
  • the top framework cannot be energized via the bolt in the event of a malfunction of the electric drive.

  • Via the air-guiding channel 7 ambient air is taken in and blown from beneath into the flexible and air-permeable pressing dummy 2 . If an item of clothing, e.g. a shirt, T-shirt or jacket, is located on the pressing dummy 2 , then the item of clothing is shaped and dried, and thus also pressed, by the preheated air stream 11 being introduced and the pressing dummy 2 being inflated.
  • An input panel 13 is disposed on the bottom framework 1 and is connected for signal-exchange purposes to a control device 14 , the control device 14 being connected in control terms to the respective structural units of the drying and pressing apparatus.
  • the input panel 13 has a main switch 15 , an unlocking input device 16 in the form of a button or unlocking button for activating the locking device 5 , a program-input device 17 in the form of a rotary actuator for selecting an operating program, a start/stop button 18 , a signal-setting input device 19 for changing and switching a “program end” signal on/off, and indicating devices 20 for indicating the currently running operating programs or operating states of the drying and pressing apparatus.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the locking device 5 in more detail.
  • the top framework 3 has four tubes 3 a (only two are illustrated), which are mounted for sliding action in the guide devices 4 .
  • a top undercut 22 and a bottom undercut 23 are provided on a sliding tube 3 a.
  • the locking device 5 which is disposed on the bottom framework 1 adjacent to the guide device 4 , also has a bolt 24 and a drive 25 for driving the bolt 24 out of the locked position ( FIG. 2 ) into the non-illustrated unlocked position.
  • the drive 25 is configured here as an electromagnet.
  • a prestressing device 26 in the form of a spring is provided in order to move the bolt 24 from the unlocked position into the locked position.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the top framework 3 in the extended position in relation to the bottom framework 1 , i.e. the bolt 24 is in engagement with the bottom undercut 23 .
  • the section of the tube 3 a between the top undercut 22 and the bottom undercut 23 serves as a sliding rail 27 via which the front end of the bolt 24 slides when the locking device 5 is located in the locked position and the top framework 3 is located in an intermediate position between the retracted position and the extended position.
  • the bolt 24 has, at its front end, a sliding body 28 by way of which the bolt 24 is in contact with the sliding rail 27 , the sliding body 28 having friction-reducing and impact-absorbing properties.
  • the main switch 15 is set to “on”.
  • the apparatus is initialized following actuation of the main switch 15 , the function of at least one current-carrying component, preferably of all current-carrying components, being checked via respective test routines. If one or more malfunctions of components of the apparatus are detected, the apparatus is only partially freed for operation, if at all.
  • the apparatus is switched off or is only partially operational, or operational to a limited extent.
  • the apparatus is provided with a defect memory which is integrated in the control device 14 and in which malfunctions of components of the apparatus which are detected during initialization or during operation of the apparatus are stored and can be read out again.
  • the defect memory is interrogated and, in the presence of stored malfunctions, the apparatus is only partially freed for operation, if at all.
  • the apparatus is normally located in the retracted state, i.e. the top framework 3 is retracted into the bottom framework 1 .
  • the unlocking input device 16 is actuated, the locking device 5 being unlocked and being retained in the unlocked position for a predetermined unlocking duration of preferably 2 seconds.
  • an indicator lamp illuminates in order to communicate the unlocked state to the user.
  • the user can extend the top framework 3 out of the bottom framework 1 , the unlocking duration of 2 seconds having elapsed, and the locking device dropping back into the locked position, in the interim.
  • the drive 25 is operated over an initial breakaway duration of preferably 0.03 to 0.5 s at a high power and over a following holding duration of preferably 1.5 to 1.97 s at a low power, which is lower than the high power.
  • the bolt 24 of the locking device 5 is moved back into the locked position ( FIG. 2 ) by the prestressing device 26 , which is preferably configured as a spring.
  • the top framework 3 cannot be energized via the bolt 24 in the event of a malfunction of the electromagnet. Rather, an electric fuse, which is part of the control device 14 , interrupts the supply of power to the apparatus.
  • the locking device 5 When the top framework 3 reaches the extended position, then the locking device 5 automatically latches in and locks the top framework 3 in relation to the bottom framework 1 in the extended position. If one of the end positions, such as the retracted position or extended position of the top framework 3 , is reached and the unlocking duration has not yet elapsed, the locking device 5 is immediately locked in the respective end position without waiting for the unlocking duration to elapse. This allows reliable locking when one of the end positions is reached.
  • the unlocking input device 16 has to be actuated again in order to effect unlocking, whereupon the top framework 3 can be retracted into the bottom framework 1 .
  • the locking device 16 locks the top framework 3 in relation to the bottom framework 1 in a manner analogous to the locking operation when the top framework 3 is extended.
  • the sensor device 6 senses this state, whereupon the control device 14 releases or enables the operation of the drying and pressing apparatus.
  • the user can then pull an item of clothing, such as a shirt or the like, preferably in the damp state onto the pressing dummy 2 .
  • the user can then select an operating program at the program-input device 17 , which is configured as a rotary actuator.
  • the program-input device 17 has a zero position, in which no operating program is selected, and a multiplicity of further positions, in which an operating program is selected. If an operating program has been selected and an item of clothing has been pulled onto the pressing dummy, then the operation of the drying and pressing apparatus can be started via the start/stop button 18 .
  • the drying and pressing apparatus then executes the selected operating program stored in the control device 14 .
  • the apparatus emits a signal once the selected operating program has been completed. This signal may be an acoustic or optical signal.
  • the “end of operating program” signal can be changed and switched on or off via the signal-setting input device 19 .
  • Actuation of the start/stop button 18 for starting a preselected operating program switches on the fan 8 and, if appropriate, the heating device 9 for heating the air stream 11 , whereupon the pressing dummy 2 inflates and the item of clothing mounted on the pressing dummy 2 is tensioned and dried and/or pressed.
  • the fan 8 is switched on just prior to the heating device 9 and, at the end of the operating program, the fan 8 is switched off prior to the heating device 9 . Staggering the times retains the initial maximum power consumption at a relatively low level, with the result that the power supply is not overloaded even for a short period of time. Switching on the heating device 9 following the fan 8 and switching it off prior to the fan 8 ensures good heat dissipation from the heating coils of the heating device 9 , which contains the permanent heater, and results in the heating device 9 not being adversely affected.
  • At least two, preferably three, different operating programs can be set by the adjustment of the program-input device 17 .
  • the operating programs include:
  • Each of the three operating programs has a multiplicity of operating sub-programs by which it is possible to preselect the duration of the set operating program.
  • the control device 14 stores a predetermined amount of work Ws or a predetermined duration t and/or a predetermined temperature T and/or a temperature profile over the duration for the air stream.
  • the amount of work Ws or the duration t and/or the temperature T and/or the temperature profile of an operating program are/is predetermined in dependence on the material of an item of clothing which is to be treated, account being taken of the amount of work or the temperature and/or the temperature profile and/or the duration in dependence on the water-absorption capability of the material of the item of clothing which is to be treated, and the amount of work Ws or the duration and/or the temperature and/or the temperature profile being longer or higher in the case of material with a high level of water-absorption capability, such as flannel, than in the case of material with a lower level of water-absorption capability, such as silk.
  • the end of a preselected operating program in particular the end of the heating phase, is reached when the integral of the power consumed over time corresponds to the amount of work Ws stored for the preselected operating program and/or when the duration t predetermined for an operating program has elapsed.
  • the control device starts the preheating or charging of the heat accumulator 10 .
  • an indicator lamp is illuminated to indicate this state. If the start/stop knot is actuated during the preheating or charging of the heat accumulator 10 , then the control device 14 only starts the preselected program when the preheating or charging has been completed.
  • these operating programs contain, at the end of the operating program, the cold ventilation phase with air at the temperature T u and a predetermined duration, in order to fix the item of clothing.
  • the control device 14 switches off the fan and/or the heating device and, as has already been mentioned, emits the “operating program at an end” signal.

If, within a predetermined duration of preferably 30 seconds following actuation of the start/stop button 18 , the start/stop button 18 is actuated again, then the interrupted operating program is continued at the point at which it was stopped. Once the predetermined duration of preferably 30 seconds following actuation of the start/stop button 18 for interrupting an operating program which is running has elapsed, renewed activation of the start/stop button 18 causes the set operating program to start from the beginning.
  • the currently running operating program or program step such as the preheating of the heat accumulator, heat accumulator full, pressing, ventilation, cooling, is indicated by an indicating device 20 , which is configured as a multiplicity of indicator lamps.
  • the heat accumulator 10 has been preheated and is retained at the preheated level and, once a predetermined duration of preferably 30 minutes has elapsed, a pressing operating program does not start, an acoustic and/or optical signal are/is emitted, and/or the apparatus is switched off, with the result that the apparatus can only be operated again by actuation of the main switch, and/or the apparatus is switched into a rest mode in which the preheating of the heat accumulator 10 is switched off, the rest mode being terminated by actuation of the start switch or some other input device.
  • start/stop button 18 which integrates both functions, namely starting and stopping, in dependence on whether an operating program is running or not, it is also possible to provide two individual switches for which the starting or stopping functions are input separately.
