Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combined steam cleaning and steam generator with a steam generator, in which a water supply evaporates through an electric heater is, and with a connection to the steam generator, to the optional Steam dispensers or an iron can be connected are those over the connection and a steam pipe Steam can be supplied.
  • Such steam cleaning devices are known which different accessories can be operated, for example with point jet nozzles, with mop heads, with brushes or with wiping lips, but also with an iron, that becomes a steam iron through the steam supply.
  • the electrical Heating in the steam generator comprises two heating elements, one of which one is switched off when an iron is attached to the Steam generator is connected. So it is only with Connection of an iron to the heat output of the steam generator reduced, in all other phases, i.e. when connecting one of the remaining steam dispensers or at missing connection, however, the electric heater in Steam generator operated at full power.
  • the electrical Heating in the steam generator comprises two heating elements, which are only switched on together if one of the others Steam delivery devices connected to the steam generator is.
  • connection one plug and one socket with several includes electrical contacts
  • the one with the iron and on the other hand with the other steam dispensers are so differently documented that only when the Iron the heating in the steam generator with reduced Performance works. So while it is basically possible is switching the power consumption of the heater in the To reach steam generators with a variety of means, for example through mechanically operated contacts when making the connection, here is an electrical Proposed solution in which by producing the Contact, that is, by establishing the connector that electrical connections are switched so that automatically the performance of the heating in the steam generator accordingly the connected accessory is varied.
  • connection is further electrical Has contacts through which on the steam dispenser or control line that can be activated on the iron Switching elements in the steam generator leads. You can then turn on the steam dispenser or iron functions in the Control steam generators, for example the steam supply.
  • the iron and the other steam dispensers have different electrical ones Assign contacts for the control line, see above that different switching elements can be actuated in the steam generator are.
  • switching elements can be actuated in the steam generator are.
  • a shut-off valve with steam volume regulation in the other steam delivery devices, however, a closing valve without steam volume regulation.
  • a steam generator 2 is accommodated in a mobile housing 1, one not shown in the drawing Water tank and an electric heater, which evaporates the water in the water tank.
  • the steam generator 2 has a connection 3 in the form of a socket 4 which a connector 5 can be connected, which has a Line 6 is connected to a steam delivery device, in the example shown with a mop head 7.
  • This Mopping head could also be through a spray lance or any other device to be replaced by the steam emitted there are usually several Steam delivery devices, which can be connected to port 3 can be connected.
  • An iron can also be connected to the steam generator 2 8, which is also via a line 6 and a Connector 5 has.
  • Plug 5 and socket 4 contain a connection option one steam pipe to the other them through a number of electrical contacts through which several parallel electrical connections are made can. In the following it is assumed that six such electrical contacts are available, any other number is of course also possible possible.
  • the steam generator 2 is via an external electrical supply line connected to a voltage source, this Line is not shown in Figure 1.
  • this Line is not shown in Figure 1.
  • the two branches 9, 10 of the Supply line marked with the letters L and N.
  • the branches 9 are connected via a two-pole switch 11 and 10 connected to the ends of a heating element 12 which heated the water storage tank in the steam generator 2 and thus water evaporates.
  • a second heating element 13 is parallel to the heating element 12 switched, but its supply line to the contacts D and E of the socket 4 leads and interrupted there is. Only when this break between the Contacts D and E becomes the heating element 13, which is also heated the water reservoir, activated.
  • the two Heating elements 12 and 13 thus together form the evaporator heating, however, they are not always common activated.
  • the performance of the heating element 14 corresponds to that of the heating element 13, it is then possible, overall always the best available from the network exploited power, be it for vaporizing strongly in the steam generator when operating an accessory without electrical supply or be it with reduced evaporation Power and simultaneous heating of the iron.
  • the branches 9, 10 of the supply line are via the accessory switch 16 connected to a voltage converter 17, its secondary side on the one hand with contact A and on the other hand via two parallel lines 18, 19 with the contacts C or B of the socket 4 in connection stands.
  • a solenoid valve 20 is inserted in line 18, that opens when the current flows and is otherwise closed, in line 19 a solenoid valve 21 with dosing device, which also opens when the current flows and otherwise closes is.
  • the metering of the solenoid valve 21 can for example by a knob 22 on the top of the Steam generator 2 take place ( Figure 1).
  • the contacts A and B are connected to one another via a pressure switch 23, so that this connection can be established when the pressure switch is actuated.
  • the solenoid valve is opened with metering, steam then flows to the iron with the amount set on the rotary knob 22.
  • the contacts A and C are connected to one another via a pressure switch 24, which also closes the connection when actuated. From these devices, the solenoid valve 20 can thus be opened by actuating the pressure switch 24, so that steam is then supplied in full to the steam delivery device.
