Problems solved by technology

However, this solution would entail an undesirable increase in size and weight of the pump
Additionally, the noise level generated by the pump during operation increases
Also, for normal steam iron application, the pump will be very expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Fig. 1 schematically shows a steam ironing device 1 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The steam ironing device 1 comprises a steam iron 10 having a soleplate 11 and a housing 12 arranged on top of the soleplate 11 . The housing 12 has a handle 13 in order to enable a user to easily hold the steam iron 10 during the ironing process.

[0031] Inside the casing 12 of the steam iron 10, a steam generator 20 for heating water into steam is provided. The steam generator 20 is connected to a device for supplying water 30 through a hose 40 . The water supply facility 30 includes a water tank 31 and a pump 32 .

[0032] The steam ironing device 1 is adapted to generate bursts of steam according to the user's requirements. In order to discharge this burst of steam from the steam iron 10 , a steam outlet 25 is provided on the soleplate 11 of the steam iron 10 . At a position between the steam outlet 25 and the steam generator 20, a controllabl...

Abstract

The steam ironing device (1) comprises: a steam generator (20), which is used to heat water into steam; a steam outlet (25), which is used to discharge the steam explosion (27) from the steam generator (20); water supply equipment ( 30), used to supply water to the steam generator (20); hose (40), the water supply equipment (30) is connected to the steam generator (20); ) is kept closed to operate the water supply device (30) during the period of time when there is little or no demand for the supply of steam during the ironing process. In this way, a certain amount of reserve steam is generated, which is stored in the interior space (21) of the steam generator (20) and, in certain cases, also inside at least a part of the hose (40). These stored steam are released through the steam outlet (25) when steam burst (27) is required.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for generating a burst of steam from a steam outlet of a steam plant having a steam generator for heating water into steam. Background technique [0002] A well-known example of such a steaming device is a steam iron, which may be used in the process of ironing items such as clothing, during which wrinkles are removed from the item under the action of steam applied to the item by the steam iron . During steam ironing, for example to remove severe creases from items subjected to steam ironing, it may be necessary in some places to spray steam from the steam iron. If the size of the steam generator is limited in order to prevent the steam iron from being too large and heavy, it is not easy to meet this need in a suitable manner. Furthermore, by using a steam generator of limited size, the time required for heating the steam generator is limited. Therefore, the steam generator has a low energy storage capacity....
