DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ironing apparatus for wrinkling clothes and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of ironing device has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, a base 2 heated by the heater 1, a handle 3 provided above the base 2,
An iron body 5 having a power supply pin 4 connected to the heater 1 circuit, a mounting portion 6 on which the iron body 5 is mounted, a stand 8 having a power supply terminal 7 provided to face the power supply pin 4, It consisted of a storage case 9 that covers the iron body 5 and the stand from above.

[0003]

However, with such a structure, when performing the ironing work, the work must be started after removing the storage case 9 from the stand 8 and placing it in another place. , Very poor workability. In addition, when the storage case 9 is placed in the vicinity of performing the ironing operation, there is a problem that it becomes an obstacle when the clothes and the like are sorted.

[0004] Also, when the ironing device is stored after the ironing operation is completed, the storage case must be brought to another place as described above, which further impairs the workability.

Therefore, an ironing device provided with a storage device is also required.
It is conceivable, however, that it has a containment and water supply
If water is supplied during storage when the water connection is not reliable,
There is a problem that water leaks from the connection part. There
In the present invention, the storage device is operated and the iron body is used.
Start water supply to the iron body after being displaced to the state
The purpose of the present invention is to prevent water leakage during storage.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the first object, the present invention provides a stand,
The iron body detachably mounted on the mounting part of this book, and this book
Control means having temperature setting means for controlling energization of the body,
A storage device for storing the iron body, and the stand
And the water in the main tank
Water supply device to supply the water to the main body and control this water supply device
Water supply control means for operating the storage device and
Water supply to the iron body after the iron body is displaced
Is to start.

[0007]

According to the ironing device of the present invention, a case
Operate the delivery device and displace the iron body to a usable state
After turning on, improves workability of ironing
As well as the temperature of the iron handle
Is also gone. Activate the storage device and remove the iron
Water is supplied after it is displaced to a usable state.
If the connection is not reliable, water leakage may occur in the mounting table during storage.
There is no.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3, reference numeral 10 denotes an iron body, a base 11, and a heater 1 for heating the base 11.
2. temperature detecting means 13 such as a thermistor for detecting the temperature of the base 11, a temperature signal processing means 15 comprising a plurality of electronic components for processing an output signal of the temperature detecting means 13 and outputting to a signal terminal 14, It has a power supply pin 16 connected to the heater 12.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a stand, which controls a plurality of power supply terminals 18 respectively connected to the signal terminal 14 and the power supply pin 16 of the iron main body 10 and an output signal of the temperature signal processing means 15 to control the power supply to the heater 12. Control means 19 comprising a plurality of electronic components, a temperature setting means 20 for setting the base 11 to an arbitrary temperature, and a set temperature display means 2 for displaying the state of the set temperature with an LED or the like.
1, a mounting portion 22 for mounting the iron main body 10 with the base downward, and a lid 23 configured to be openable and closable on a side of a stand.

Here, the mounting section 22 will be described in detail. The mounting section 22 is configured to be rotatable about an opening movement shaft 24, and the opening movement is controlled by a slide plate 25 and a connecting rod 26. That is, by moving the knob 27 provided above the slide plate 25 in the horizontal direction, the connecting rod 26 is moved.
Rotates around the rotation fixing portion 28, the relative position of the connecting rod 26 in contact with the lower surface of the mounting portion 22 changes, and as a result, the inclination angle of the mounting portion 22 changes. The stand 17, which constitutes a storage device together with the lid 23, is provided with a state detecting means 29 for detecting the state of the mounting section 22 and controlling the
9 is output.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. First, in order to perform ironing, the lid 23 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
Open as shown. Next, the knob 27 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 1 to tilt the mounting portion 22 so that the iron body 10 is raised forward. Here, when the power is turned on and the base 11 is set to an arbitrary temperature by operating the temperature setting means 20 of the stand 17, the temperature signal processing means 15 is connected via the signal terminal 14 in accordance with the output of the temperature detecting means 13. And outputs a signal to the control means 19. At this time, since the state detection means 29 has output to the control means 19 that the mounting section 22 is in a state where the iron can be used,
The control means 19 supplies power to the heater 12 via the power supply pin 16 and the power supply terminal 18 in response to this signal, and
Rises to the set temperature. Here, the iron main body 10 can be removed from the inclined mounting portion 22 and ironing can be performed.

Next, when the ironing is completed and the ironing device is stored, the knob 27 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
Is set to be in a horizontal state, and can be stored simply by closing the lid 23. At this time, since the state detection means 29 outputs to the control means 19 that the iron cannot be used, the control means 19 does not energize the heater 12 even if the temperature is set.

Therefore, as described above, at the start of ironing, it is not necessary to remove the lid 23 for accommodating the iron body 10 and place it in another place. It does not get in the way, and the workability of ironing is improved. Furthermore, even when the ironing device is stored after the ironing operation is completed, only the operation of closing the lid is required as described above, so that the labor at the time of storing can be saved.

Next, the control of the water supply device in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
I will explain. 4 and 5 show this embodiment.
In which the 30 is supplied to the tank 35 through the water supply connection portion 34 of the iron main body 10 is water in there water tank 30 in the water tank through the water supply unit 33 by the water feed device 31 and waterway 32. The water supply device 31 is controlled by the water supply control means 36.

In this case, when the iron can be used as shown in FIG. 4, the water supply control means 36 inputs the output from the state detecting means 29 to drive the water supply device 31, but the iron is stored as shown in FIG. If it is in the state, the information of the state of the mounting portion 22 is obtained from the state detecting means 29 and the driving of the water supply device 31 is stopped. For this reason, water is not supplied when the connection between the water supply unit 33 and the water supply connection unit 34 is insufficient in the storage state or the like, so that water leakage from the water supply unit 33 and the water supply connection unit 34 can be prevented.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, ironing can be performed only by operating the storage device at the start of ironing work, and it is not necessary to carry the removed storage case to another place as in the conventional case. Furthermore, since water is supplied after the storage device is operated and the iron main body is displaced to a usable state, water leakage does not occur in the mounting table during storage.
