[0007] It is the task of the present invention to improve a heat fluid device accessory and a heat fluid device and the use thereof.

[0008] This basic task is solved in embodiments of the present invention by a heat fluid device accessory and / or a heat fluid device having a heat fluid device accessory and / or by the use of a heat fluid device accessory and / or by the use of a heat fluid device having a heat fluid device accessory, wherein the heat fluid device accessory comprises a heat fluid guide for guiding a heat fluid, for example from an inlet and / or to an exit region, and wherein the heat fluid guide is constructed at least in a section-wise meandering manner.

[0009] In an embodiment of the application, the basic task is solved by a heat fluid device attachment and / or by a heat fluid device and / or by the application of a heat fluid device attachment and / or by the application of a heat fluid device with a heat fluid device attachment, wherein the heat fluid device attachment comprises a heat fluid guiding portion for guiding a heat fluid and a separating mechanism, in particular for at least partially separating a liquid component from the heat fluid guided through the heat fluid guiding portion. In particular, the heat fluid guiding portion is configured for guiding the heat fluid from an inlet and / or to a leaving area.

[0010] More advantageously, the separating mechanism is at least partially arranged in the heat fluid guiding portion, which is advantageously configured at least in a section-wise manner. Preferably, the heat fluid is guided through the separating mechanism in a section-wise manner in the section-wise bent portion.

[0011] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the features explained above and below are combined.

[0012] In particular, the advantage in an embodiment of the solution according to the application is that the heat fluid reaching the leaving area has at least less liquid component, since the heat fluid flows through at least one section-wise bent portion, preferably through a plurality of section-wise bent portions and / or through the separating mechanism, and is advantageously separated from the liquid component here.

[0013] In particular, the heat fluid is delivered to an application piece in the leaving area and is in particular applied to an article.

[0014] In an advantageous embodiment, the heat fluid is used for treating a garment, in particular for at least partially ironing the garment, and for example in certain embodiments for at least partially cleaning the garment, is applied to the garment at least substantially in the leaving area. Here, it is advantageous to apply the heat fluid as gaseous as possible, in particular water vapor with a very low content of liquid component, i.e. as dry as possible, to the garment.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the following is provided:

[0016] - in at least one section-wise bent portion, in particular in at least some section-wise bent portions, the direction of guidance of the heat fluid changes its orientation by at least 70°, in particular by at least approximately 90°; and / or

[0017] - in at least one section-wise bent portion, in particular in at least some section-wise bent portions, the direction of guidance of the heat fluid changes its orientation by more than 100°, in particular by at least approximately more than 110°; and / or

[0018] - at least one separation element of the separation mechanism is arranged in the hot fluid guiding portion, and wherein, in particular on at least one separation element, in particular on at least some separation elements, the guiding direction of the hot fluid changes its orientation and / or the guided hot fluid is deflected;

[0019] and / or

[0020] - the hot fluid guiding portion guides from the inlet and / or to the exit region.

[0021] For example, in such a meandering configuration, the gaseous components of the hot fluid flow more easily past the liquid components, so that at least some of the liquid components are separated from the hot fluid.

[0022] Advantageously, at least three, preferably at least four, in particular at least five, for example at least six segments are provided, the orientation of the guiding direction of which changes by at least 70°, in particular by at least approximately 90°.

[0023] Advantageously, at least two segments are provided, the orientation of the guiding direction of which changes by at least 100°, in particular by at least approximately more than 110°.

[0024] In particular, the angle of the change in the orientation of the guiding direction is measured between the vector of the guiding direction before the change and the vector of the guiding direction after the change.

[0025] In an advantageous embodiment, at least one impact plate is arranged in the hot fluid guiding portion. In particular, the at least one impact plate is part of the separation mechanism as a separation element. Preferably, the hot fluid guided along the hot fluid guiding portion is guided at least substantially perpendicularly onto the impact plate.

[0026] For example, the advantage is that the liquid components in the hot fluid are slowed down when they hit the impact plate and can advantageously be separated more easily from the hot fluid as slowed-down liquid components and / or atomized and / or evaporated.

[0027] Preferably, at least one of the following is provided:

[0028] - at least one particularly large free space segment of the guiding space of the hot fluid guiding portion is configured laterally of the impact plate; and / or

[0029] - the hot fluid guided along the hot fluid guiding portion is guided at least approximately perpendicularly from the impact plate behind the impact plate with respect to the guiding direction;

[0030] and / or

[0031] - the guiding contour of the hot fluid guiding portion is guided past the impact plate, and wherein, in particular, a guiding direction of the guiding contour along a section of the guiding contour which guides to the impact plate and a guiding direction of the guiding contour along a section of the guiding contour which guides away from the impact plate are at least approximately identically oriented; and / or

[0032] - the impact plate is a first element with respect to the guiding direction along the guiding contour in the hot fluid guiding portion which changes the orientation of the guiding direction, and / or the impact plate is the first arranged element of a separating mechanism with respect to the guiding direction along the guiding contour;

[0033] and / or

[0034] - the hot fluid which is fed to the inlet in the inlet direction is first guided onto the impact plate, and in particular at least approximately perpendicularly to the impact plate in the inlet direction.

[0035] In particular, this has the advantage that gaseous components of the hot fluid can more easily be guided past the impact plate and / or at least approximately perpendicularly away from the impact plate, and at least part of the liquid components are separated from the hot fluid thereby.

[0036] In particular, the free space section of the at least one particularly large space laterally to the impact plate has the advantage that the liquid components of the hot fluid which are fed to the impact plate and in particular are struck open on the impact plate have free space which they can reach. For example, the liquid components which reach the free space are at least partially separated from the hot fluid. It is particularly advantageous if the liquid components which reach the free space are at least partially evaporated and / or atomized in the free space and thus continue to flow along the guiding contour in atomized and / or evaporated form.

[0037] It is particularly advantageous if the free space section of the at least one particularly large space extends laterally to the impact plate with an extension which is at least approximately the size of the extension of the impact plate, preferably at least twice as large as the extension of the impact plate. In particular, the extension of the impact plate is measured perpendicularly to the direction in which the hot fluid is guided to the impact plate.

[0038] Preferably, at least one free space section of a particularly large space, in particular preferably two free space sections of particularly large spaces, laterally extends away from the impact plate at least approximately semicircularly.

[0039] It is particularly advantageous if the hot fluid is first directed onto the impact plate, since the hot fluid is usually delivered at a higher speed, for example by the hot fluid delivery means at the inlet. Advantageously, the delivery speed of the hot fluid can thus be reduced at the impact plate and more advantageously the hot fluid is preferably delivered through the hot fluid guide portion with reduced speed to further separation elements.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, at least one separation plate is arranged in the hot fluid guide portion, wherein, in particular, the separation plate is part of the separation mechanism as separation element.

[0041] In particular, this has the advantage that the liquid component is at least partially separated from the hot fluid on the separation plate.

[0042] Preferably, at least one of the following is provided here:

[0043] - at least one separation plate is oriented at an acute angle to the direction of guidance of the hot fluid guided towards the separation plate;

[0044] and / or

[0045] - in at least one separation plate, the hot fluid guided along the guidance contour is guided along the separation plate at least in a sectioned manner, wherein, in particular, the guidance portion along the separation plate is configured to at least partially separate a liquid component of the hot fluid;

[0046] and / or

[0047] - at least one separation plate is configured and / or arranged to exert a flow resistance, wherein the exerted flow resistance is exerted on the hot fluid guided along the guidance contour;

[0048] and / or

[0049] - in at least one separation plate, at an end of the guidance portion along the separation plate, the hot fluid is guided past the separation plate at an angle along the guidance contour, wherein, preferably, the hot fluid guide portion is guided past the separation plate at an acute angle and / or the change in the orientation of the direction of guidance occurs at an acute angle;

[0050] and / or

[0051] - in at least one separation plate, in the guidance portion along the separation plate, a component of the direction of guidance is oriented counter to the direction of guidance of the hot fluid guided towards the separation plate;

[0052] and / or

[0053] - at least one separation plate is arranged obliquely to the orientation of the height direction of the hot fluid device.

[0054] More advantageously, the separation of the liquid component from the hot fluid is thus improved.

[0055] For example, the angle of the separation plate in the orientation inclined to the height direction is at least 10°, in particular at least 20°, for example at least 30°, and / or is at most 70°, for example at most 60°.

[0056] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, at least one filter is arranged in the hot fluid guiding portion, in particular as a separation element of the separation mechanism.

[0057] In particular, this has the advantage that the filter at least reduces the flow-through of the liquid component of the hot fluid. For example, the liquid component is at least partially prevented from flowing through the filter, in particular by the filter material of the filter. For example, when the hot fluid flows through the filter, its liquid component is separated from the hot fluid flowing through, in particular by the filter material of the filter.

[0058] Preferably, at least one of the following features is provided here:

[0059] - the at least one filter has a filter material which is hydrophobic; and / or

[0060] - in the at least one filter, the filter through-opening, in particular in the filter material of the filter, has an extension transverse to the through direction of at least 1 μm and / or at most 500 μm, for example at least approximately 50 μm;

[0061] and / or

[0062] - in the at least one filter, at least one separation element and / or a section of the meandering configuration is arranged in front of the at least one filter, in particular between the inlet and the filter, with regard to the guiding direction along the guiding contour, and / or at least one separation element and / or a section of the meandering configuration is arranged behind the at least one filter, in particular between the filter and the exit region;

[0063] and / or

[0064] - the support structure holds the at least one filter, in particular the filter material of the filter, in its position, wherein in particular the support structure at least prevents a change in the position of the filter, in particular of the filter material of the filter, at least in the guiding direction, and / or wherein in particular the support structure at least partially supports the at least one filter, in particular the filter material of the filter, on the exit side of the filter, wherein the hot fluid flowing through the filter exits the filter again on the exit side.

[0065] In particular, the advantage of the filter material which is hydrophobic is that the risk of the liquid component, in particular separated out, accumulating in the filter material is at least reduced and thus the associated risk of contamination and / or putrefaction, etc. is advantageously at least reduced.

[0066] In particular, the advantage of the separating element and / or the section of the meandering configuration arranged in front of the filter is that the velocity of the conveyed hot fluid is at least reduced in front of the filter and / or that the liquid component in the hot fluid has been separated off in front of the filter, so that the risk of an overload of the filter material of the filter is at least reduced.

[0067] It is particularly advantageous if the at least one filter is arranged in the impact plate in abutment to the free space section, so that, for example, the filter at least reduces the leakage of the liquid component from the free space section in the direction of the guide contour.

[0068] For example, the advantage of the separating element and / or the section of the meandering configuration arranged behind the filter is that the filter has preferably already separated off some of the liquid component from the hot fluid, and that the remaining liquid component will subsequently be at least partially separated off by the at least one element and / or section which is advantageously configured with a targeted orientation.

[0069] For example, the separating plate is arranged behind the filter with regard to the guide direction along the guide contour.

[0070] For example, the filter material is arranged in the frame and is advantageously fastened.

[0071] Preferably, in addition to the frame, at least one support structure is provided, in particular in order to constitute an additional fixation and / or fastening.

[0072] In an advantageous embodiment, the hot fluid device attachment has a discharge section with a discharge recess. The discharge recess leads from a section of the hot fluid guide, in particular the guide section, to the discharge region in a fluid-conducting manner.

[0073] In particular, the discharge recess leads from a section of the hot fluid guide which is located in the housing interior of the housing of the hot fluid device attachment to the discharge region which is located outside the housing.

[0074] In particular, the following at least one is provided here:

[0075] - a discharge chamber is configured on the inside with regard to the housing of the hot fluid device attachment at the discharge section, i.e. the section of the hot fluid guide from which the discharge recess leads to the discharge region; and / or

[0076] - the discharge recess is configured in an upper region of the discharge section with regard to the height direction of the hot fluid device attachment and / or opens into an upper region of the discharge chamber;

[0077] and / or

[0078] - the exit recess is configured above the accumulation space with respect to the height direction of the heat- fluid device attachment, wherein, in particular, the accumulation space is configured in the exit chamber and, in particular, in a lower region of the exit chamber;

[0079] and / or

[0080] - the heat fluid is guided along the guide contour at least substantially above the height of the exit recess and / or from above the exit recess with respect to the height direction of the heat-fluid device attachment to the exit recess;

[0081] and / or

[0082] - the heat fluid is guided along the guide contour in an upper region of the exit chamber with respect to the height direction of the heat-fluid device attachment, and / or the heat fluid is guided along the guide contour above the accumulation space with respect to the height direction of the heat-fluid device attachment to the exit recess.

[0083] For example, it is advantageous to configure the exit recess in the upper region and / or to guide the heat fluid to the exit recess from above and / or in the upper region, since, as a result, the liquid component in the heat fluid is caused to descend at least partially downwards and, as a result, does not reach the exit region through the exit recess.

[0084] For example, it is advantageous to provide the accumulation space in the exit section, since, for example, a liquid component separated off before and / or at the exit section can accumulate in the accumulation space.

[0085] In particular, the upper region of the exit section is located in the upper half, preferably in the upper third, with respect to the height direction of the exit section.

[0086] In particular, the upper region of the exit chamber is located in the upper half, preferably in the upper third, for example in the upper quarter, with respect to the height direction of the exit chamber.

[0087] In particular, the lower region of the exit chamber is located in the lower half, for example in the lower third, with respect to the height direction of the exit chamber.

[0088] In some advantageous embodiments, at least one of the following is provided:

[0089] - the exit section is composed of a metal material; and / or

[0090] - the edge section at least partially borders the exit section, wherein, in particular, the exit section is recessed with respect to at least one subsection of the edge section, wherein, in particular, the exit section extends at least substantially in a geometric plane and the at least one subsection of the edge section protrudes beyond this geometric plane, wherein, in particular, the edge section is at least partially composed of a housing part of the heat-fluid device attachment.

[0091] For example, the advantage of the exit section being of metal is that the exit section is thermally well conducting and thus, for example, heat output from the heat fluid at the exit section is transferred via the exit section into the exit region.

[0092] For example, the advantage of the exit section being retracted is that, when the heat fluid device attachment is applied, at least the risk of the exit section coming into contact with an article to which the heat fluid is applied, in particular at least the risk of the exit section coming into contact with, for example, sensitive clothing, is reduced.

[0093] In particular, the exit section is arranged on the at least one housing part in a fluid-tight manner and, for example, is fastened on the housing part. Advantageously, the at least one housing part on which the exit section is arranged constitutes the edge section at least in section.

[0094] In an advantageous embodiment, the heat fluid device attachment comprises a liquid collection mechanism which has at least one collection space, in particular for liquid components separated out from the heat fluid.

[0095] More advantageously, it is thus possible, for example, for liquid components separated out in the bent configuration and / or in the separation mechanism to be collected.

[0096] Advantageously, the collection space is constituted spaced apart from the heat fluid guide and preferably spaced apart from the guide space of the heat fluid guide.

[0097] Advantageously, the collection space is arranged in a housing interior of the housing of the heat fluid device attachment.

[0098] Advantageously, the liquid collection mechanism is constituted such that liquid components separated out from the heat fluid guide and / or from the separation mechanism are guided through the liquid collection mechanism to the collection space.

[0099] Preferably, the liquid collection mechanism is provided with at least one of the following:

[0100] - at least one region around at least one section of the heat fluid guide and / or at least one separation element of the separation mechanism is connected to the at least one collection space in a fluid-guiding manner, wherein in particular the at least one fluid-guiding connection is oriented at least substantially downward in the direction toward the collection space with respect to the height direction of the heat fluid device attachment;

[0101] and / or

[0102] - the collection space is arranged in a lower region of the heat fluid device attachment and / or in a lower region of a housing interior of the housing of the heat fluid device attachment with respect to the height direction of the heat fluid device attachment.

[0103] In particular, this facilitates the discharge of the liquid component from the hot fluid guiding portion and / or the discharge mechanism.

[0104] In particular, the discharge of the liquid component and / or the collection of the liquid component is at least partially supported by gravity when the fluid-guiding connection is oriented at least substantially downwards and / or the collection space is arranged below.

[0105] In particular, the lower region of the hot fluid device attachment is located in a lower half of the hot fluid device attachment with respect to the height direction.

[0106] In particular, the lower region of the housing interior is located in a lower half of the housing interior with respect to the height direction.

[0107] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the liquid collection mechanism has at least one ventilation channel which opens into the collection space. Advantageously, the ventilation channel leads away from the collection space.

[0108] In particular, at least one of the following is provided here:

[0109] - the ventilation channel opens into a region of the collection space which is located in an upper half of the hot fluid device attachment with respect to the height direction; and / or

[0110] - the ventilation channel leads to and / or opens into a section of the hot fluid guiding portion, in particular a section of the hot fluid guiding portion which is located outside the chamber.

[0111] In particular, the ventilation channel is a separate channel from the collection channel.

[0112] In particular, the ventilation channel has the advantage that, when the liquid component is being conveyed to the collection space via the collection channel, the gaseous mixture can escape from the collection space via ventilation.

[0113] In particular, the opening of the ventilation channel into the upper region has the advantage that the risk of the liquid component escaping from the collection space via the ventilation channel is at least reduced.

[0114] In particular, the upper region of the collection space is located in an upper half of the collection space with respect to the height direction, preferably in an upper third, for example in an upper fifth.

[0115] It is particularly advantageous if the ventilation channel opens into the collection space at an upper side of the collection space with respect to the height direction.

[0116] In particular, the opening of the ventilation channel into the hot fluid guiding portion has the advantage that gaseous components which reach the hot fluid in the collection space can be returned to the hot fluid guiding portion.

[0117] In an advantageous embodiment, at least one of the following is provided:

[0118] - the liquid collection mechanism comprises at least one display unit for at least partially displaying the level of the liquid in the collection space;

[0122] In particular, the display of the display unit is visible from the surroundings of the heat-fluid device accessory.

[0123] In some advantageous embodiments, the housing section in the collection space is configured such that the level of the liquid in the collection space can be at least partially seen through the housing section.

In particular, this has the advantage that the user can at least partially see the level of the liquid from different viewing directions.

[0125] The drain in the collection space is particularly advantageous in that the collection space can be emptied.

[0126] In preferred embodiments, the basic task (alternatively and / or additionally) is solved by a heat-fluid device accessory and / or by a heat-fluid device and / or by the use of a heat-fluid device accessory and / or by the use of a heat-fluid device with a heat-fluid device accessory, wherein the heat-fluid device accessory comprises a heat-fluid guide for guiding a heat fluid and, for example, a liquid collection mechanism, wherein the heat-fluid guide, in particular at least its guide space, and / or the liquid collection mechanism, in particular at least its collection space, is / are arranged at least partially in terms of heat transfer reduction and / or spaced apart from the outer wall of the housing of the heat-fluid device accessory in the housing interior of the housing of the heat-fluid device accessory.

[0133] In particular, this has the advantage that, for example, a heat conduction of the heat fluid from the guiding space and / or of the heat fluid from the collecting space to the outer wall of the housing of the heat fluid device accessory is at least reduced. For example, thereby the outer wall is at least not heated too much, and preferably is at most slightly warmed, so that at least the risk for a user in using the heat fluid device accessory is reduced. For example, thus, at least the guiding space and / or the collecting space are arranged in a better thermally insulating manner with the surroundings of the heat fluid device accessory, so that less heat is extracted from the heat fluid.

Advantageously, the thermal fluid device 100 includes a storage tank, in particular for storing a liquid. For example, the liquid at least predominantly comprises water, with or without added components.

In particular, the heat fluid delivery device 122 is at least predominantly constructed outside the device housing 112.

[0179] For example, the heat fluid device 100 has an interface 126 for the heat fluid delivery device 122, wherein the interface 126 is arranged on the device housing 112. Advantageously, the interface 126 is in the interior of the device housing 112 in a fluidically conductive manner connected with the heat fluid generating unit. In particular, the heat fluid delivery device 122 comprises an interface piece 132 with which the heat fluid delivery device 122 can be connected in a fluidically conductive manner with the interface 126.

[0180] In particular, the heat fluid delivery device 122 comprises a delivery unit 134. Advantageously, the delivery unit 134 is in a fluidically conductive manner connected with the interface piece 132 at least via a connection piece 136, for example constructed as a hose.

[0185] In particular, a heat fluid device accessory is provided, which is designated with 210 as a whole.

[0186] Exemplarily, the heat fluid device 100 is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heat fluid device accessory 210 is shown in a state assembled with the heat fluid delivery device 122 of the heat fluid device 100, and the heat fluid device accessory 210 is shown separately in Figures 3 to 8

[0187] ​In some advantageous variants, the hot-fluid conveying device 122 is at least partially integrated in the hot-fluid device accessory 210.

[0188] In particular, in these variants, the hot-fluid device accessory 210 comprises at least the handling mechanism 142 and / or the interface piece 132, advantageously also with the connection piece 136.

[0189] In particular, the hot-fluid device accessory 210 comprises a housing, generally designated with 214, which is preferably composed of a plurality of housing pieces 216. For example, the housing pieces 216 are plastic pieces and / or shell pieces.

[0190] Advantageously, the housing 214 defines a housing interior 218, wherein the housing interior is enclosed by the housing pieces 216.

[0191] Advantageously, at least the majority of the technical equipment of the hot-fluid device accessory 210 is arranged at least predominantly in the housing interior.

[0192] In particular, the housing pieces 216 each comprise at least one outer wall section 224. The outer wall sections 224 constitute an outer wall of the housing 214, wherein the outer wall separates the housing interior 218 from the surroundings of the hot-fluid device accessory 210.

[0193] In particular, in the hot-fluid device accessory 210, a height direction 232 and / or a longitudinal direction 234 and / or a transverse direction 236 are defined, for example by means of its housing 214 and / or by means of its technical equipment and / or by means of a predefined intended use of the hot-fluid device accessory 210.

[0194] In particular, the height direction 232, the longitudinal direction 234 and the transverse direction 236 each extend perpendicularly to one another.

[0195] In particular, the height direction 232 is defined by the intended use of the hot-fluid device accessory 210 and / or by the constitution of the technical equipment of the hot-fluid device accessory 210, in that the height direction 232 is oriented at least substantially parallel to the direction of gravity in the intended use and / or is oriented obliquely to the direction of gravity within an appropriate range of inclination.

[0196] For example, the housing 214 has a resting surface 242. Advantageously, the resting surface 242 is configured on the underside of the hot-fluid device accessory 210, wherein the underside is configured in the lower portion of the hot-fluid device accessory 210 with respect to the height direction 232. Advantageously, the resting surface 242 is at least substantially flat and extends on a geometric plane which extends at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction 234 and the transverse direction 236.

[0197] In the hot-fluid device accessory 210, a hot-fluid guide, generally designated with 252, is configured.

[0198] The hot fluid guiding portion 252 is configured for guiding hot fluid, for example from an inlet 256 of the hot fluid device attachment 210, in a guiding direction 266 along a guiding profile 264 to a leaving region 258 of the hot fluid device attachment 210.

[0199] In some advantageous variants, the guiding profile 264 has a plurality of branches at least in a sectional manner.

[0200] In particular, in the hot fluid guiding portion 252, the hot fluid is guided along the guiding profile 264 through a guiding space, which is generally designated with 268. Here, the guiding space 268 is preferably a spatial region comprising a plurality of, in particular consecutive, spatial sections.

[0201] Exemplarily, the hot fluid guiding portion 252 is shown enlarged in Figure 8 .

[0202] Advantageously, the hot fluid device attachment 210 comprises a separating mechanism, which is generally designated with 272.

[0203] In particular, the separating mechanism 272 is configured for at least partially separating a liquid component from the hot fluid, in particular guided through the hot fluid guiding portion 252.

[0204] Advantageously, the separating mechanism 272 comprises a plurality of separating elements.

[0205] Advantageously, a guiding mechanism 274 is provided, which is configured at least together with the hot fluid guiding portion 252. Advantageously, the guiding mechanism 274 comprises a plurality of guiding elements.

[0206] Preferably, the separating mechanism 272 and the guiding mechanism 274 comprise at least partially identical elements.

[0207] For example, the guiding mechanism 274 is at least partially constituted by the separating mechanism 272. Advantageously, the separating mechanism 272 is at least partially constituted by the guiding mechanism 274.

[0208] Advantageously, the hot fluid guiding portion 252 is at least in a sectional manner configured in a meandering manner. Advantageously, a liquid component in the hot fluid guided through the hot fluid guiding portion 252 is at least partially separated by the meandering configuration, such that the hot fluid guiding portion 252 is also at least in this respect part of the separating mechanism 272.

[0209] In particular, in sections of the hot fluid guiding portion 252 having a meandering configuration, the orientation of the guiding direction 266 along the guiding profile 264 changes.

[0210] In particular, a receptacle 282 for the hot fluid delivery device 122 is configured in the inlet 256. In particular, the receptacle 282 is configured for at least partially accommodating the delivery unit 134, in particular for accommodating the output element 148 of the delivery unit.

[0211] Preferably, the receptacle 282 comprises an accommodation chamber 284 for the exit nozzle 154 of the delivery unit 134. In particular, the guide space 268 is coupled with the accommodation chamber 284, and the guide contour 264 extends from the accommodation chamber 284 through the guide space 268.

[0212] In particular, at least one impact plate 312 is arranged in the hot fluid guide 252.

[0213] Advantageously, the hot fluid is guided here along the guide contour 264 onto an impact face 313 of the impact plate 312.

[0214] Preferably, the hot fluid guided in the guide direction 266 along the guide contour 264 is at least approximately perpendicularly guided onto the impact face 313.

[0215] More advantageously, the impact plate 312 is arranged in a section of the guide space 268 that is coupled with the accommodation chamber 284, and is advantageously oriented such that the hot fluid delivered by the hot fluid delivery device 122, in particular exiting from the exit nozzle 154, for example in a straight line, is guided onto the impact plate 312.

[0216] In particular, the impact plate 312 extends at least substantially in a geometric plate plane 314, and / or advantageously the impact face 313 extends at least approximately parallel to the geometric plate plane 314.

[0217] For example, the impact plate 312 is held on a web section 316 of the guide mechanism 274 at the section that constitutes the accommodation chamber 284. Advantageously, the web section 316 is configured to be narrow here in order to as little as possible adversely affect the flow of the hot fluid.

[0218] Advantageously, at least one guide face 322 of an element that constitutes the impact plate 312, for example, extends obliquely rearwardly away from the impact plate 312. Here, the rearwardly away is related to the direction of the hot fluid that impacts onto the impact plate 312, and the at least one guide face 322 extends away from the impact plate 312 from a side of the impact plate 312 that is opposite the impact face 313.

[0219] In particular, the impact face 313 and the guide face 322 of the impact plate 312 are thus configured on opposite sides of the geometric plate plane 314.

[0220] In particular, the guide surface 322 extends obliquely outwardly away from the impact plate 312, wherein "outwardly" here is related, for example, to the viewing direction along the direction of the hot fluid impacting, in which viewing direction the guide surface extends laterally outwardly away from the separation plate 322.

[0221] For example, the element constituting the impact plate 312 is configured conically, wherein the impact plate 312 is configured with its impact surface 313 in the top surface of the cone, while the peripheral surface of the cone constitutes the guide surface 322. Here, the top surface of the cone is smaller than the base surface of the cone.

[0222] Preferably, the guide space 268 extends laterally away from the impact plate 312, so that a free space is configured laterally of the impact plate 312, preferably in at least two substantially semicircular configured space sections. The hot fluid impacting on the impact plate 312 and being deflected can advantageously spread into this free space.

[0223] Here, the free space region has a large spatial extension, in particular when the free space region extends from the impact plate 312 with an extension of at least the extension of the impact plate 312 and preferably at least twice the extension of the impact plate 312 in lateral extension.

[0224] In particular, in the impact plate 312, the flow of the hot fluid is deflected by at least approximately 90°, since the hot fluid impacting on the impact plate 312 is deflected laterally.

[0225] In particular, in the guide section laterally of the impact plate 312, the orientation of the guide direction 266 is changed by at least approximately 90°. Advantageously, the guide contour 264 extends laterally away from the impact plate 312 and here is at least approximately parallel to the geometric plate plane 314, and then the guide contour is deflected so as to extend at least approximately perpendicular to the plate plane 314 and in particular extends past the impact plate 312 laterally.

[0226] In particular, overall, the flow of the hot fluid is deflected by at least approximately 90°, since the hot fluid flows at least overall along the guide contour 264. In more detail, the hot fluid here can have, for example, at least in sections, a laminar flow and / or at least in sections a turbulent flow.

[0227] Preferably, at least one filter 332 is arranged in the hot fluid guide 252, for example as part of the separation mechanism 272.

[0228] The filter 332 comprises a filter material having filter through-openings. For example, the extension of the filter through-openings transverse to the through direction is in the micrometer range, for example between 1 μm and 500 μm.

[0229] Preferably, the filter material is a hydrophobic material.

[0230] Advantageously, the guide contour 264 extends through the filter 332 and in particular through the filter material of the filter.

[0231] Advantageously, the filter 332 is arranged along the guide contour 264 behind the impact plate 312.

[0232] Preferably, the filter 332 is arranged in abutment with the free space section 324 constituted in the impact plate 312.

[0233] For example, the filter material of the filter 332 is placed into and preferably fastened at a portion of the guide mechanism 274.

[0234] More particularly advantageously, the support structure 336 at least prevents a positioning change of the filter material of the filter 332 and in particular at least substantially of the entire filter 332 at least in one direction. In particular, the filter 332 is at least partially supported on the support structure 336, for example at least the filter material of the filter is partially supported on the support structure.

[0235] Preferably, the support structure 336 is arranged at least partially against the exit side 338 of the filter 332, wherein the hot fluid flowing through the filter 332 exits the filter 332, in particular from its filter material, again at the exit side 338. In particular, the exit side 338 is thus the side of the filter 332 at which the guide contour 264 extends out of the filter 332, in particular from its filter material.

[0236] In particular, the support structure 336 is constituted by a portion of the guide mechanism 274 and / or of the separation mechanism 272.

[0237] More advantageously, at least one separation plate 342 is provided, in particular as a portion of the separation mechanism 272 and / or of the guide mechanism 274.

[0238] Advantageously, the separation plate 342 is arranged in the hot fluid guide 252 such that the separation plate 342 exerts a separation action on the hot fluid flowing along the guide contour 264, for example in a laminar and / or turbulent manner. More advantageously, here, by means of the separation action of the separation plate 342, a liquid component in the hot fluid is at least partially separated from the hot fluid and in particular at least temporarily adheres to the separation plate 342.

[0239] In particular, the separation plate 342 is arranged obliquely such that the hot fluid flowing in particular along the guide contour 264 is deflected on the separation plate 342 and is preferably deflected by an angle WU of more than 90°. In particular, here the angle WU is measured between the vectors of the flow direction and / or the guide direction 266 before and after the deflection along the guide contour 264.

[0240] Advantageously, the separation plate 342 is arranged oriented such that one component 266K of the guide direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the hot fluid after the deflection along the guide contour 264 is oriented opposite to the guide direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the hot fluid before the deflection, and the other component 266T of the direction after the deflection is oriented perpendicular to the guide direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the hot fluid before the deflection along the guide contour 264.

[0241] In particular, the separation plate 342 is arranged obliquely oriented with respect to the height direction 232.

[0242] In particular, the hot fluid rises at least substantially upwards along the gravitational direction and thus in the case of a prescribed orientation of the hot fluid device attachment 210 upwards in the height direction 232 and / or obliquely with respect to this height direction. Due to the obliquely oriented arrangement of the separation plate 342, this tendency of the hot fluid to rise upwards is at least partially impeded by the separation plate 342 and thus the hot fluid flowing in particular along the guide contour 264 is guided along the separation plate 342 and the separation plate 342 exerts at least a smaller flow resistance on the flow of the hot fluid.

[0243] In particular, after a section of the guide contour 264 extending along the separation plate 342, a curved guide section is arranged in which the guide direction 266 changes its orientation, more precisely advantageously here by at least approximately 90° and preferably by more than 90°.

[0244] Advantageously, the guide contour 264 extends along the separation plate 342 up to an end portion 346 of the separation plate and extends around this end portion 346 of the separation plate 342.

[0245] In particular, after the guiding section along the separation plate 342, the flow of the thermal fluid is deflected such that the component of the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow of the thermal fluid is oriented opposite to the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the thermal fluid when along the separation plate 342, and the component 266T of the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the thermal fluid in the guiding section after the separation plate 342 will be oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the thermal fluid when along the separation plate 342. In particular, this change of orientation occurs in the guiding section extending around the end 346 of the separation plate 342. In particular, the angle WU between the vector of the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow direction when along the separation plate 342 and the vector of the guiding direction 266 and / or the flow direction of the thermal fluid in the guiding section after the separation plate 342 is greater than 90°.

[0246] For example, the support structure 336 extends between the filter 332 and the separation plate 342. For example, the support structure 336 is integrally configured with the separation plate 342.

[0247] In particular, the thermal-fluid-device attachment 210 has a discharge section 352 with discharge openings 354. Exemplarily, the discharge section 352 is configured with the separation plate 342. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the figures, only a few of the plurality of discharge openings 354 are provided with reference numerals.

[0248] The discharge openings 354 lead to a discharge area 258, wherein the discharge area 258 is located outside the thermal-fluid-device attachment 210 adjacent to the discharge section 352.

[0252] In particular, here, the peripheral side is understood as follows, namely that the configuration is configured on the peripheral side with respect to an axis, wherein the axis extends through the discharge openings 354, and an axial direction of the axis extends at least substantially parallel to the guiding direction 266.

[0253] Advantageously, the edge section 362 is constituted by the at least one housing part 216, wherein the elements exiting the section 352, in particular constituting the exit section 352, are arranged on the housing part, in particular in a fluid-tight manner, at the edge section 362.

[0254] Preferably, the exit section 352 is constituted at least recessed with respect to an outwardly oriented surface of the edge section 362. In particular, the edge section 362 thus at least partially protrudes beyond the exit section 352 in a guide direction 266 oriented from the exit recess 354 to the exit region 258.

[0255] Advantageously, the exit recess 354 is configured in an upper region of the exit section 352 with respect to the height direction 232. In particular, the upper region is located in an upper half of the exit section 352 with respect to the height direction 232, for example at an upper third of the exit section 352.

[0256] Preferably, a guide section of the hot fluid guide 252 configured directly in front of the exit chamber 358 opens into an upper region of the exit chamber 358 with respect to the height direction 232. In particular, the upper region of the exit chamber 358 is located in an upper half of the exit chamber 358 with respect to the height direction 232 and, for example, in an upper end region of the exit chamber 358.

[0257] In particular, the guide section located behind the separation plate 342 opens into the exit chamber 358. In particular, the hot fluid thus flows into the exit chamber 358, and in particular into an upper region thereof, after being deflected around the separation plate 342.

[0258] Preferably, the exit recess 354 leads from the upper region of the exit chamber 358 to the exit region 258.

[0259] Preferably, the guide section configured directly in front of the exit chamber 358 opens into the exit chamber 358 above the exit recess 354 with respect to the height direction 232.

[0260] In particular, an accumulation space 368 is constituted in a lower region of the exit chamber 358 with respect to the height direction 232. In particular, the accumulation space 368 comprises at least a lower third of the exit chamber 358 with respect to the height direction 232 and preferably at least a lower half of the exit chamber 358.

[0261] In particular, the upper region of the exit chamber 358 is located above the lower region of the exit chamber 358 and / or above the accumulation space 368 with respect to the height direction 232.

[0262] Advantageously, the guiding section directly preceding the exit chamber 358 opens into the exit chamber 358 above the accumulation space 368 with respect to the height direction 232. Preferably, the exit recess 354 leads out of the exit chamber 358 above the accumulation space 368 with respect to the height direction 232. In particular, the guiding contour 264 extends through the exit chamber 358 above the accumulation space 368 with respect to the height direction 232.

[0263] More advantageously, the heat-fluid- device attachment 210 comprises at least one liquid-collecting mechanism 412, in particular for collecting separated liquid components of the heat fluid guided through the heat-fluid guiding portion 252, for example.

[0279] Advantageously, the housing 214 and in particular the housing part 216 in the region of the display units 452 is configured such that the collection space 416 can be seen at least partially from the ambient environment of the heat transfer device attachment 210 and the liquid level can be seen at least partially directly therefrom.

[0280] For example, in certain variants the housing part 216 is configured transparent and / or translucent in the region of the display units 452. For example, in certain variants the housing 214 has an opening in the region of the display units 452, through which the collection space 416 can be seen at least partially.

[0281] In particular, it is at least visible in the display unit 452 whether the fill level of the liquid in the collecting space 416 is greater than or less than a permissible fill level threshold value.

[0282] Preferably, the hot-fluid conduit 252 is arranged in the housing interior 218 at least predominantly spaced apart from the outer wall of the housing 214 formed by the outer wall section 224. In particular, for technical reasons, an exception to the predominantly spaced apart arrangement occurs when the hot-fluid conduit 252 is directed out of the housing interior 218 into the exit region 258 and into the surroundings of the hot-fluid device attachment 210, where a spaced apart arrangement is therefore not possible. Therefore, a spaced apart arrangement is particularly not possible in the exit section 352.

[0283] In particular, an intermediate space 462 is therefore formed between the hot fluid conduction 252 and in particular the conduction device 274 and / or the separation device 272 on the one hand and the outer wall of the housing 214 on the other hand.

[0284] Advantageously, the intermediate space 462 is formed at least in sections between a part of the guide space 268 delimiting the hot-fluid guide 252 and the outer wall section 224 .

[0285] For example, the intermediate space 462 is formed in the region of the collecting space 416 between the collecting container 418 and the outer wall section 224 arranged there.

[0286] It is further advantageous if the guide space 268 and / or the collecting space 416 of the thermal fluid guide 252 is / are separated from the surroundings of the thermal fluid device attachment 210 in a double-walled manner.

[0287] In particular, at least two wall sections are arranged here, for example along a direct connecting line, between the guide space 268 and / or the collecting space 416 on the one hand and the surroundings on the other hand. In particular, the at least two wall sections include at least one outer wall section 224 of the housing 214 and a wall section delimiting the guide space 268 and / or the collecting space 416, wherein the two wall sections are different wall sections.

[0288] In particular, for technical reasons, an exception to the double-walled design is provided at the inlet 256 of the receptacle 282 for the thermal fluid conveying device 122. For example, if a direct connecting line extends through the receptacle 282, a double-walled design is not possible along this direct connecting line, since the receptacle 282 typically must be open to the surroundings of the thermal fluid device attachment 210. In particular, a double-walled design is technically not possible in the exit region 258, but rather only a exit section 352 is formed, which separates the internal exit chamber 358 from the exit region 258 located outside the housing 214.

[0289] Advantageously, a plurality of spacing holders 464 is provided, which keep the guiding mechanism 274 and / or the separating mechanism 272 spaced apart from the outer wall section 224 in the housing interior 218.

[0290] In some preferred variants, at least some of the spacing holders 464 are constituted by parts of the guiding mechanism 274, as exemplarily shown in Figures 5 to 7 In some advantageous variants, at least some of the spacing holders 464 are constituted by the housing piece 216, wherein, for example, the arrangement of the spacing holders 464 is similar to the arrangement of the spacing holders 464 exemplarily shown in Figures 5 to 7 In some advantageous variants, at least some of the spacing holders 464 are constituted by the housing piece 216, wherein, for example, the arrangement of the spacing holders 464 is similar to the arrangement of the spacing holders 464 exemplarily shown in

[0291] It is particularly advantageous if the guiding mechanism 274 and / or the separating mechanism 272 and / or the liquid collection mechanism 412 are configured as a mechanism insert 472 and, in particular, as a coherent insert assembly.

[0292] Exemplarily, the mechanism insert 472 is shown separately in Figure 9 and Figure 10

[0293] Advantageously, in the assembled state of the thermal fluid device accessory 210, the mechanism insert 472 is arranged in the housing interior 218, as exemplarily shown in Figures 2 to 8

[0294] In particular, the mechanism insert 472 can be placed into the housing 214 constituted by the housing piece 216, and / or the housing piece can be assembled around the mechanism insert 472 to constitute the housing 214.

[0295] In particular, the housing piece 216 can be firmly connected with the mechanism insert 472, in particular at least via the spacing holders 464, and in particular fastened relative to one another.

[0296] In particular, the following brief overview outlines preferred design solutions and their advantageous functions and advantages.

[0297] The thermal fluid device accessory 210 comprises, in particular, an inlet 256, for example having a receptacle 282 for the thermal fluid delivery device 122, wherein thermal fluid can be delivered in the inlet 256.

[0298] In particular, the thermal fluid comprises water. Advantageously, the temperature of the thermal fluid is at least 60°C and, in particular, at least 80°C and, more advantageously, at least 95°C.

[0299] ​​In particular, the thermal fluid is a fluid mixture, which in particular has a gaseous component and a liquid component. Thus, the thermal fluid is, for example, a two-phase fluid mixture. In particular, the liquid component includes water, such as water droplets. In particular, the gaseous component includes water vapor.

[0300] A hot fluid guide 252 is provided to guide hot fluid, for example the hot fluid supplied in the inlet 256 , to an outlet region 258 .

[0301] In the exit area 258 , the hot fluid can be applied, for example, to garments, in particular shirts or similar items, in particular for ironing the garments and, in some variants for example, for at least partial cleaning.

[0302] In particular, it is provided that water vapor is applied during use, so that advantageously a hot fluid containing predominantly water vapor should reach the exit region 258 .

[0303] Advantageously, the content of liquid components in the hot fluid is at least reduced along the hot fluid guide 252 , so that the hot fluid with the lowest possible content of liquid components advantageously reaches the exit region 258 .

[0304] In order to reduce the proportion of liquid components in the thermal fluid, the thermal fluid conduit 252 is designed to be bent at least in sections and / or a separating device 272 is formed in the thermal fluid conduit.

[0305] In particular, an impact plate 312 is provided, wherein the impact plate is advantageously arranged in a guide section connected to the inlet 256 .

[0306] Advantageously, the impingement plate 312 is arranged such that the incoming hot fluid impinges at least substantially directly on the impingement plate 312. More advantageously, the velocity of at least the liquid component of the hot fluid is reduced by the impingement. Advantageously, the impingement can at least partially separate the liquid component from the hot fluid and / or at least partially atomize and / or preferably at least partially evaporate.

[0307] Advantageously, a large free space region is formed laterally of the impact plate 312. In particular, this allows the gaseous components of the hot fluid to be advantageously guided past the impact plate 312. In particular, the free space region provides space for the dislodged liquid components, allowing them to be advantageously atomized and / or at least partially evaporated.

[0308] Preferably, at least one filter 332 is provided. Advantageously, the liquid components of the thermal fluid are at least partially separated from the thermal fluid when flowing through the, in particular, fine filter material of the filter 332 .

[0309] Advantageously, the filter material is hydrophobically configured such that the liquid constituents separated from the hot fluid at least partially accumulate in the filter material and at least predominantly flow out of the filter material.

[0310] Advantageously, at least one separation plate 342 is provided. In particular, the separation plate 342 is configured and arranged such that the liquid constituents are at least partially separated from the hot fluid flowing along the separation plate 342 at the separation plate.

[0311] In particular, a discharge section 352 is provided which has a discharge gap 354, wherein the discharge gap 354 leads to the discharge region 258.

[0312] In particular, a discharge chamber 358 is configured in the discharge section 352 inwardly. The discharge gap 354 leads from the discharge chamber 358 to the discharge region 258 outwardly.

[0313] Preferably, the hot fluid is guided through an upper region of the discharge chamber 358. In particular, the guide section of the hot fluid guide 252 opens into the upper region. In particular, the discharge gap 354 opens into the upper region of the discharge chamber 358.

[0314] More advantageously, the content of liquid constituents in the hot fluid is thus reduced, since the liquid constituents are heavier and fall downward, for example, into an accumulation space 368 of the discharge chamber 358, and do not reach the discharge region 258, from the upper region of the discharge chamber.

[0315] In particular, a liquid collection mechanism 412 is provided which has at least one collection space 416. In particular, the liquid constituents separated from the hot fluid can thus be collected in the collection space 416. In particular, a collection channel 422 leads from at least one guide section of the hot fluid guide 252 and / or from at least one region located around the separation elements to the collection space 416. In particular, the collection channel 422 opens into a spatial region which is advantageously arranged at least adjoiningly to the filter 332 and / or the separation plate 342, so that the liquid constituents separated at these separation elements can be advantageously discharged from this spatial region by means of the collection channel 422.

[0316] Preferably, the liquid collection mechanism 412 comprises at least one display unit 452, by means of which the level of the liquid in the collection space 416 is at least partially visible to the user. More advantageously, the user can thus see when the collection space 416 needs to be emptied, for example, by means of the discharge opening 432.

[0317] In particular, at least one venting channel 442 leads out of the collection space 416. Preferably, the venting channel 442 leads at least into an upper region of the collection space 416 and in particular into the collection space on the upper side. More advantageously, therefore, gaseous components of the thermal fluid can escape from the collection space 416 through the venting channel 442 when liquid components are being conveyed into the collection space 416 through the collection channel 422.

[0318] It is particularly advantageous if the venting channel 442 leads into the guiding section of the thermal fluid guide 252, so that gaseous components of the thermal fluid escaping from the collection space 416 are guided back into the thermal fluid guide 252 again. For example, the venting channel 442 leads into the exit chamber 358 and there preferably into an upper region of the exit chamber.

[0319] For example, a valve unit 424 is arranged in the collection channel 422, which at least makes it difficult for in particular liquid components to flow from the collection space 416 through the collection channel 422. More advantageously, therefore, the risk of liquid components collected in the collection space 416 being returned into the thermal fluid guide 252 again is at least reduced. Preferably, the valve unit 424 is configured to enable fluid to flow through the collection channel into the collection space 416 as little as possible affected.

[0320] Preferably, the thermal fluid guide 252 is arranged at least substantially spaced apart from the outer wall of the housing 214 of the thermal fluid device accessory 210 in the housing interior 218.

[0321] Preferably, the guiding space 268 for thermal fluid of the thermal fluid guide 252 is at least predominantly double-walled from the surroundings of the thermal fluid device accessory 210.

[0322] Preferably, the collection space 416 is at least predominantly double-walled from the surroundings of the thermal fluid device accessory 210. For example, for this purpose, the collection space 416 is configured in the interior of a collection container 418, wherein the collection container 418 is arranged in the housing interior 218.

[0323] It is advantageous if an intermediate space 462 is configured between the part delimiting the guiding space 268 and / or the collection space 416 on the one hand and the outer wall section 224 on the other hand.

[0324] More advantageously, thus, the heat transfer from the hot fluid guiding portion 252 and / or the collection space 416 to the outer wall of the housing 214 is at least reduced, so that the outer wall of the housing 214 is at least less intensively heated by the hot fluid flowing therethrough and / or the liquid component accumulated in the collection space 416, and preferably at most slightly warmed up. This advantageously increases the safety of the user when using the hot fluid device accessory 210, since the outer wall of the housing 214 is less intensively warmed up and thus the risks resulting therefrom are reduced.

[0325] Advantageously, the guiding portion means 274 and / or the separating means 272 at least partially constituting the hot fluid guiding portion 252 are held spaced apart from the outer wall section 224 in the housing interior 218 by the spacer holder 464.

[0326] Preferably, the guiding means 274 and / or the separating means 272 and / or the liquid collection means 412 are at least predominantly constituted by the means insert 472. In particular, the means insert 472 forms a coherent assembly.

[0327] In particular, thus, a design-structurally advantageous solution for constituting the hot fluid guiding portion 252 is provided.

[0328] More advantageously, by means of the means insert 472, a design-structurally simple spacing arrangement of the guiding means 274 and / or the separating means 272 and / or the liquid collection means 412 in the housing interior 218 can be realized.

[0329] In particular, the collection container 418 and / or the portion delimiting the guiding space 268 and / or the separating elements of the separating means 272, in particular the impact plate 312 and / or the filter 332 and / or the separating plate 342, and e.g. the ventilation channel 442, are part of the means insert 472.
