Electro-fluidic connection element for domestic use (1) comprising an inlet and a steam outlet (2,3) and a first inlet and a first electrical outlet (4,5), connector in which the steam inlet (2 ) is adapted to be connected to a steam generator and wherein the steam outlet (3) is adapted to be connected to at least two types of accessories that dispense steam.
Description
La présente invention concerne les dispositifs à usage domestique qui produisent de la vapeur, en particulier les systèmes de repassage.The present invention relates to devices for domestic use that produce steam, especially ironing systems.
Il existe plusieurs types de dispositif à usage domestique produisant de la vapeur, notamment les systèmes de repassage, les défroisseurs, les humidificateurs ou des appareils de nettoyage. Chaque dispositif comprend des éléments essentiels, parmi lesquels un réservoir d'eau, un générateur de vapeur et un accessoire (p.ex. un fer à repasser), ces éléments étant spécifiques du dispositif concerné.There are several types of household appliances that produce steam, including ironing systems, steamers, humidifiers or cleaning devices. Each device comprises essential elements, among which a water tank, a steam generator and an accessory (eg an iron), these elements being specific to the device concerned.
Ainsi, une personne souhaitant utiliser plusieurs dispositifs produisant de la vapeur, p.ex. un système de repassage avec table, un système de repassage avec générateur portable et un défroisseur, devra utiliser un nombre équivalent de générateurs vapeur, soit un générateur pour chaque accessoire.Thus, a person wishing to use several devices producing steam, eg an ironing system with table, an ironing system with portable generator and steamer, will have to use an equivalent number of steam generators, a generator for each accessory .
La présente invention permet d'optimiser le nombre d'éléments essentiels lorsque l'on possède différents types d'accessoires qui produisent de la vapeur.
Plus précisément, elle permet d'utiliser un unique élément essentiel, p.ex. le générateur de vapeur, avec divers types d'accessoires.
A cet effet, elle concerne un élément de connexion tel que défini dans les revendications.The present invention optimizes the number of essential elements when there are different types of accessories that produce steam.
More specifically, it allows the use of a single essential element, eg the steam generator, with various types of accessories.
For this purpose, it relates to a connection element as defined in the claims.
L'invention proprement dite concerne un élément de connexion électro-fluidique à usage domestique comprenant une entrée et une sortie vapeur ainsi qu'une première entrée et une première sortie électrique; l'entrée vapeur étant adaptée pour être reliée à un générateur de vapeur et dans lequel la sortie vapeur est adaptée pour être connectée à au moins deux types d'accessoires qui dispensent de la vapeur, p.ex. un fer à repasser et un défroisseur.The actual invention relates to an electro-fluidic connection element for domestic use comprising an inlet and a vapor outlet as well as a first inlet and a first electrical outlet; the steam inlet being adapted to be connected to a steam generator and in which the steam outlet is adapted to be connected to at least two types of accessories which dispense steam, eg an iron and a steamer .
Le connecteur selon l'invention peut comprendre une deuxième entrée électrique et une deuxième sortie électrique. Dans ce type de configuration la première entrée électrique et la première sortie électrique peuvent être utilisées pour le transfert d'une puissance de chauffage, la deuxième entrée électrique et la deuxième sortie électrique étant utilisées pour la transmission de données.The connector according to the invention may comprise a second electrical input and a second electrical output. In this type of configuration the first electrical input and the first electrical output can be used for the transfer of a heating power, the second electrical input and the second electrical output being used for data transmission.
Toutes lesdites entrées sont agencées de manière à former un ou plusieurs connecteurs, et idem pour toutes lesdites sorties.All of said inputs are arranged to form one or more connectors, and the same for all said outputs.
L'invention concerne également un ensemble portable constitué principalement d'un réservoir d'eau et d'un générateur de vapeur dans lequel est incorporé un élément de connexion électro-fluidique tel que décrit dans l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes.The invention also relates to a portable assembly mainly consisting of a water tank and a steam generator in which is incorporated an electro-fluidic connection element as described in any one of the preceding claims.
En général, le même générateur de vapeur est utilisé pour différents types d'accessoires. Mais l'invention ne se limite pas à cette configuration. Elle couvre également la possibilité un accessoire donné, p.ex. un fer à repasser, avec différents types de générateurs de vapeur.
A cet effet, un générateur « léger », de capacité relativement réduite et alimenté p.ex. avec une batterie, pourrait être utilisé avec un système portable alors qu'un générateur « lourd » pourrait être utilisé avec un système statique, p.ex. dans un pressing.In general, the same steam generator is used for different types of accessories. But the invention is not limited to this configuration. It also covers the possibility of a given accessory, eg an iron, with different types of steam generators.
For this purpose, a "light" generator, of relatively small capacity and powered for example with a battery, could be used with a portable system while a "heavy" generator could be used with a static system, eg in a laundry.
L'invention offre également des avantages lorsqu'il s'agit de réparer le système. Si celui-ci devait être retourné par poste, il suffirait de n'envoyer que la partie défectueuse, p.ex. l'accessoire ou le générateur.The invention also offers advantages when it comes to repairing the system. If it was to be returned by post, it would suffice to send only the defective part, eg the accessory or the generator.
L'élément de connexion selon l'invention offre en outre à l'utilisateur, en fonction de ses besoins et/ou moyens financiers, d'acquérir progressivement des éléments plus importants du système, sans que cela nécessite un abandon de l'ensemble du système.The connection element according to the invention furthermore offers the user, according to his needs and / or financial means, progressively acquire larger elements of the system, without this necessitating the abandonment of the whole of the system. system.
Le nombre de configurations offertes par l'invention est théoriquement infini. Un accessoire récent pourrait être utilisé avec un ancien générateur, sous réserve bien entendu que ces 2 éléments peuvent être liés à l'élément de connexion selon l'invention.The number of configurations offered by the invention is theoretically infinite. A recent accessory could be used with a former generator, provided of course that these 2 elements can be linked to the connection element according to the invention.
