Clothes steaming equipment with increased water head

Abstract

The present application relates to a clothes steaming device (1) comprising a first water chamber (2); a second water chamber (3) located in the heel (4) of the clothes steaming device (1); steam generating A device (5), which is located below the first water chamber (2) in the operating orientation (A) of the laundry steaming device (1). The clothes steaming device (1) also includes a first fluid path (6), which connects the first water chamber (2) and the steam generator (5); a second fluid path (7), which connects the first water chamber (2) ) and the lower part of the second water chamber (3); and the discharge pipe (10), which is connected to the top of the second water chamber (3) through its first end (11) and at its second end (12) is open to the atmosphere. The second end (12) of the discharge pipe (10) extends at least up to the maximum water level of the first water chamber (2) when the laundry steaming device (1) is in the non-operating orientation (B). The second water chamber (3) is arranged higher than the first water chamber (2) in the operating orientation (A), so that in the operating orientation (A), the water level of the second water chamber (3) is higher than The water level of the first water chamber (2) is generated by fluidly coupling the second water chamber (3) and the first water chamber (2) when the laundry steaming device is in the operating orientation (A) The water head in said first fluid path (6) is increased to obtain an increased steam rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a clothes steaming device, and more particularly, to a clothes steaming device including a steam iron. Background technique [0002] Clothes steaming devices, such as steam irons, generate steam that is used to remove creases and wrinkles from fabrics. The most common method of generating steam is to feed water from a reservoir through a controlled orifice into a steam generator where the water is heated to generate steam. In the laundry steamer's operating position, the reservoir is usually above the steam generator, so that gravity affects the flow of water from the reservoir into the steam generator. [0003] The water added to the steam generator is evaporated. The resulting volume expansion can lead to relatively high pressure conditions. This high pressure in the steam generator can exceed the pressure at the orifice caused by the hydraulic head in the reservoir above the steam generator, especially if the stea...
