Description

La présente invention concerne une installation de repassage domestique selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to an installation of domestic ironing according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Il est connu actuellement des installations de fer à repasser domestiques utilisant un fer à repasser à vapeur, la vapeur étant produite par une chaudière qui est soit intégrée dans le corps du fer, soit une chaudière indépendante du corps du fer à repasser, et intégrée à la planche ou une chaudière complètement indépendante de l'installation.Iron installations are currently known. domestic ironing using an iron steam, the steam being produced by a boiler which is either integrated into the body of the iron or boiler independent from the body of the iron, and integrated into the board or a boiler completely independent of the installation.

Il est également connu des installations de repassage professionnelles, lesquelles comprennent une table de repassage dont la surface supérieure est perforée et sur cette surface une chambre est connectée au choix à des moyens de génération d'une pression positive ou à des moyens de génération d'une pression négative. Ces moyens sont souvent des turbines qui sont actionnées par des organes sous forme de pédales que l'utilisateur actionne au choix.Ironing facilities are also known which include a table ironing with a perforated upper surface and on this surface a room is optionally connected to means for generating positive pressure or means for generating negative pressure. These means are often turbines that are powered by organs in the form of pedals that the user operates as desired.

L'intérêt de disposer d'une pression négative, c'est-à-dire d'une aspiration lorsqu'on procède à un repassage avec un fer à vapeur est d'obtenir un séchage rapide du vêtement, tandis que l'utilisation d'une pression positive, c'est-à-dire d'une soufflerie est de permettre de gonfler le vêtement et d'éviter les faux plis. The advantage of having negative pressure, that is to say suction when ironing with a steam iron is to get quick drying of the garment while the use of pressure positive, that is to say a wind tunnel is allow to inflate the garment and avoid fakes folds.

Jusqu'à ce jour, ce type d'installation avec aspiration ou soufflerie est utilisé uniquement par les professionnels.To date, this type of installation with suction or blower is used only by professionals.

Il s'est avéré que les installations domestiques de fers à repasser à vapeur , qui ont connu un grand succès ces dernières années, pourraient être améliorées par l'adjonction des dispositifs permettant d'utiliser l'aspiration et la soufflerie.It turned out that the domestic installations of steam irons, which have enjoyed great successes in recent years could be improved by adding devices to use suction and blower.

Pour de telles installations domestiques, le coût doit être raisonnable pour assurer un succès commercial. Les installations professionnelles disposent souvent soit de turbines autonomes, une pour l'aspiration, l'autre pour la soufflerie, soit de dispositifs électromécaniques permettant de connecter la chambre de la table à repasser en amont ou en aval du flux de la turbine utilisée. De tels dispositifs sont coûteux et volumineux pour un produit domestique.For such domestic installations, the cost must be reasonable to ensure commercial success. The professional facilities often feature either stand-alone turbines, one for suction, the other for the wind tunnel, either of devices electromechanical devices to connect the the ironing board upstream or downstream of the flow of the turbine used. Such devices are expensive and bulky for a household product.

Une installation de repassage commandée par un seul organe pour aspirer, souffler et émettre de la vapeur est décrite dans le document GB-A-1 519 356. La génération des pressions positive et négative est réalisée par deux dispositifs différents.An ironing system controlled by a single device for sucking, blowing and emitting steam is described in document GB-A-1 519 356. The generation of positive and negative pressures is made by two different devices.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer une installation domestique de fers à repasser à vapeur d'un coût relativement faible, facile à fabriquer et à entretenir. The object of the present invention is to provide a domestic installation of steam irons relatively low cost, easy to manufacture and maintain.

Ainsi, l'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée par la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.Thus, the installation according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of the claim 1.

Les avantages de l'installation selon l'invention sont le fait que l'aspiration et la soufflerie sont réalisées par un simple ventilateur à flux axial commandé par une électronique permettant d'inverser le sens de rotation du ventilateur. Le fait d'utiliser un ventilateur axial est important car il permet d'obtenir, en inversant le sens de rotation du ventilateur, des puissances équivalentes dans les deux sens de rotation.The advantages of the installation according to the invention are the fact that the suction and the blower are performed by a simple axial flow fan electronically controlled to reverse the fan rotation direction. Using a axial fan is important because it allows to obtain, by reversing the direction of rotation of the fan, equivalent powers in both sense of rotation.

Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention, le sens de rotation du ventilateur est déterminé en fonction de l'impulsion manuelle appliquée sur le bouton commandant la vapeur. Ainsi, si on applique une impulsion manuelle supérieure à une période prédéterminée t0, le ventilateur est enclenché dans le sens aspiration, tandis que si une impulsion est inférieure à une période t0, le ventilateur est enclenché dans le sens de la soufflerie. Habituellement, la période t0, est de l'ordre de la demi-seconde.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the direction of rotation of the fan is determined as a function of the manual pulse applied to the button controlling the steam. Thus, if a manual pulse is applied greater than a predetermined period t 0 , the fan is switched on in the suction direction, while if a pulse is less than a period t 0 , the fan is switched on in the direction of the blower. Usually, the period t 0 , is of the order of half a second.

Selon une autre variante d'exécution, le fonctionnement du ventilateur est prolongé par un circuit de temporisation pendant une période t1 après la dernière manipulation de l'organe commandant la vapeur.According to another alternative embodiment, the operation of the fan is extended by a timing circuit for a period t 1 after the last manipulation of the member controlling the steam.

Cela signifie qu'une non manipulation de l'organe commandant la vapeur, pendant une période plus longue que la période t1, par exemple 3 ou 4 secondes entraíne l'arrêt du ventilateur. Chaque nouvelle pression, qu'elle soit courte ou longue, qui succède à la première qui a déterminé le sens de rotation du ventilateur, quelle que soit sa durée, maintient le sens de rotation défini précédemment pour autant qu'elle soit réalisée pendant la période t1.This means that a non-manipulation of the member controlling the steam, for a period longer than the period t 1 , for example 3 or 4 seconds causes the fan to stop. Each new press, whether short or long, which follows the first which determined the direction of rotation of the fan, whatever its duration, maintains the direction of rotation defined above as long as it is carried out during the period t 1 .

Le fer à repasser utilisé avec cette installation est un fer à repasser à vapeur dont la chaudière est soit intégrée directement dans le corps du fer à repasser, soit il s'agit d'une chaudière indépendante solidaire ou non de la planche à repasser.The iron used with this installation is a steam iron whose boiler is either integrated directly into the body of the iron, either it is an independent boiler or not from the ironing board.

L'invention sera décrite plus en détail à l'aide du dessin annexé.The invention will be described in more detail using the attached drawing.

La figure 1 est une vue schématique d'une installation indiquant les principaux éléments.Figure 1 is a schematic view of an installation indicating the main elements.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale de la table de repassage.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the ironing table.

L'installation est constituée d'une planche 1 montée sur un support pliable 2 muni d'un ventilateur 3 communiquant directement avec la chambre se trouvant sous la table 1, un fer à repasser à vapeur 4 alimenté par un flexible 5 assurant l'alimentation électrique du fer à repasser, la commande du ventilateur 3 et, le cas échéant, l'arrivée de la vapeur si la chaudière n'est pas intégrée au fer à repasser 4. L'ensemble est, bien entendu, branché à une alimentation d'une puissance électrique domestique.The installation consists of a board 1 mounted on a foldable support 2 fitted with a fan 3 communicating directly with the room located under table 1, a steam iron 4 powered by a flexible 5 ensuring the electrical supply of the iron, fan control 3 and, if applicable if necessary, the arrival of steam if the boiler is not not integrated in the iron 4. The set is, well heard, connected to a power supply domestic electric.

A la figure 2, nous avons représenté en coupe la table 1 présentant une surface supérieure 10 munie de perforations 11 communiquant avec une chambre 12 fermée et connectée au ventilateur 3 disposé sous la surface inférieure 13 de la chambre 12. Le ventilateur est commandé par l'organe 6 commandant la vapeur du fer à repasser 4. La commande du ventilateur 3 est munie d'un circuit électronique permettant au moyen d'un circuit logique adéquat de commander le sens de rotation du ventilateur selon les critères suivants :In Figure 2, we have shown in section the table 1 having an upper surface 10 provided with perforations 11 communicating with a closed chamber 12 and connected to fan 3 located below the surface lower 13 of chamber 12. The fan is controlled by organ 6 controlling the steam of the iron iron 4. The fan control 3 is fitted with a electronic circuit allowing by means of a circuit adequate logic to control the direction of rotation of the fan according to the following criteria:

Si on appuie sur l'organe de commande 6 pendant une période supérieure à t0 qui est au maximum, par exemple, d'une demi-seconde, le ventilateur fonctionne dans le sens de l'aspiration. Si on appuie pendant une période inférieure à t0, le ventilateur tourne dans le sens de soufflerie. En plus, un circuit de temporisation est prévu pour faire fonctionner le ventilateur après la dernière pression pendant une période prédéterminée t1 qui peut être, par exemple, de l'ordre de 3 à 4 secondes. La commande est prévue de sorte que toute manipulation de l'organe de commande 6 pendant la période t1 après la première qui détermine le sens de rotation du ventilateur a pour effet de prolonger le fonctionnement du ventilateur dans le sens déterminé indépendamment de la longueur de la pression manuelle.If the control member 6 is pressed for a period greater than t 0 which is at most, for example, half a second, the fan operates in the suction direction. If pressed for a period of less than t 0 , the fan rotates in the direction of the blower. In addition, a delay circuit is provided for operating the fan after the last pressure for a predetermined period t 1 which can be, for example, of the order of 3 to 4 seconds. The control is provided so that any manipulation of the control member 6 during the period t 1 after the first which determines the direction of rotation of the fan has the effect of prolonging the operation of the fan in the direction determined regardless of the length of manual pressure.

Il est évident que le ventilateur pourrait soit être disposé à un autre endroit de la planche à repasser et être connecté par un flexible à la chambre 12.Obviously the fan could either be placed elsewhere on the ironing board and be connected by a hose to the chamber 12.

De même, le fer à repasser à vapeur peut être de différents types, par exemple, un fer à repasser avec chaudière intégrée ou avec chaudière indépendante intégrée ou non à la table de repassage.Likewise, the steam iron can be different types, for example, an iron with integrated boiler or with independent boiler integrated or not integrated into the ironing table.
