AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing steam irons are in operation, the water in the water tank is unevenly distributed, resulting in some areas having too much water and causing steam to drip, while other areas have too little water and cause the temperature to be too high, which poses a risk of damaging the fabric.

Method used

A spraying assembly is installed in the steam iron to evenly spray water from the water tank into the vaporization chamber. The uniform distribution of water is achieved through an electromagnetic pump and a water outlet pipe. A boss and an annular blocking part are installed on the top of the vaporization chamber to ensure the stable installation of the spraying assembly. The spraying assembly is located above the middle section of the heating pipe to optimize the water spray range and temperature matching.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a balanced distribution of water in the vaporization chamber, avoiding steam dripping and localized overheating, thus improving the lifespan and safety of the steam iron.
