Steam Generator Vortex Injection for Wrinkle-Free Laundry Drying

The steam generator performs preliminary steaming action on the laundry before the drying process completes, allowing creases to be removed during the drying cycle itself rather than requiring separate ironing afterward. The steam is supplied to the laundry at specific stages to relax wrinkles before the final drying phase.

Steam is introduced as an intermediary substance between the heating element and the laundry, serving as a medium that penetrates the fabric to relax creases through moisture and heat, enabling crease removal without direct mechanical pressure from an iron.

The steam supply part is positioned at specific locations (front and rear ends of the drum) rather than uniformly distributed, creating localized steam zones that target creased areas while controlling condensation patterns to prevent direct water contact with the laundry.

The divergent-convergent duct-shaped steam injection part acts as an intermediary structure that controls steam flow and condensation, directing steam in a vortex pattern that reduces direct condensation on laundry while maintaining effective crease removal through controlled steam exposure.

The steam generator operates periodically rather than continuously, supplying steam at specific intervals and stages during the drying cycle. Steam is supplied during phases when laundry is most susceptible to crease removal, then paused to allow drying to occur, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining effectiveness.

Steam is supplied in advance during early drying stages when laundry is still damp and more responsive to steaming, achieving crease removal before the drying process completes, which reduces the need for prolonged steam generation and lowers energy consumption.
