Abstract

PURPOSE:To spout steam without adding manual operation by providing an automatic sending mechanism to automatically sent the water of a water tank to a main body and a manual sending member to send the water with manual operation. CONSTITUTION:When the automatic spouting is operated, a water tank 5 filled with the water is fit to a main body 1. Next, after a heater 3 is energized, an automatic sending member 8 composed of a cam is half revolved. Then, pressure in a sending part 9 in a closed condition rises up and a delivery valve 6a of a delivery route 9b is opened. Continuously, when the automatic sending member 8 is half revolved, the pressure in the sending part 9 is lowered and a flowing-in valve 5a of a flowing-in part 9a is opened and the water in the water tank 5 flows into the sending part 9 only by suitable quantity and the water is accumulated. After that, when the automatic sending member 8 repeats revolution, the delivery valve 6a is opened at the first half revolution and the water to be accumulated in the sending part 9 flows through a water route 6 to a carbureting room 4. This flowing water contacts the inner wall of the carbureting chamber, which is heated by the heater 3, or goes to be steam by the heat of the internal part. Then, the seam is spouted from a steam spouting part 2 through a spouting port 2a to the external part of a main body 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steamer for finishing fibers with steam.

Conventional technology Traditionally, when finishing fibers, the finishing process was done by applying heat and pressure to the fibers using irons, presses, or steam, but the emphasis was still on heat and pressure9. In order to remove all wrinkles and curls that occur when forming products or clothes, etc., it must be done using a press. In this case, it is expected that pressing will damage the properties of the fibers, and therefore, it is proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 17594/1983 that it is possible to finish the fibers completely without any damage, especially for woolen fabrics and knitted products. As shown in the figure, the expandable tank is manually pressurized using a pressurizing device, and the sound of water inside the tank is forcibly sent out. This allows efficient steam jetting, such as continuous jetting of steam and prevention of wasteful steam jetting. There is something that looks like this.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a configuration, 9 manual operation is required, so when spouting steam, the button for generating Nutame must be kept pressed against the elastic force of the spring that is in elastic contact with the button. There is a problem in that it requires a certain amount of grip strength.

Furthermore, when pouring water into a water tank, it was necessary to carefully add water little by little until it reached a specified level, making the water pouring operation troublesome.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is equipped with a steam jetting section consisting of a water tank, a heating heater, a vaporization chamber, etc. in two main bodies, and a water tank and a vaporization chamber. A water channel is provided in the water tank, and one main body is provided with an automatic delivery member for automatically delivering water from a water tank and a manual delivery member for manually delivering water from the water tank. The water tank also has a gold barrier to prevent water from being poured above the specified water level.

By doing so, when the automatic delivery member is operated, the water in the water tank flows through the water channel into the vaporization chamber heated by the heater, and is vaporized by the hot air in the vaporization chamber, for example, for a certain period of time. Steam is emitted automatically. Further, when operating the manual delivery member similar to the conventional one, steam can be ejected following the same path as above. Furthermore, when pouring water into a water tank, there is no need to carefully add water little by little, and the water pouring operation is simple.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1 showing the configuration of the embodiment: j is a steamer
The main body is made of a synthetic resin member, for example.

On the other hand, a steam ejection part 2 made of, for example, a steam-resistant synthetic resin member and having a large number of ejection ports 2a'z on its surface is attached. Further, a vaporizing chamber 4 heated by a heating heater 3 is provided inside the steam spouting section 2 so as to communicate with the spouting port 2a. - A water tank 5 for storing water inside is attached to the other side of the blade body 1, and between this water tank 5 and the vaporization chamber 4, there is a water channel that communicates between the vaporization chamber 4 and the water tank 5. 6 is provided. Reference numeral 7 denotes a manual delivery member which is attached to the surface of the main body 1 so as to be located below the steam jet section 2. Reference numeral 9 denotes a water delivery section that operates when sending out the water in the water tank 5, in which a manual delivery actuation member 7a, a spring S, and an automatic delivery actuation member 8a are respectively provided, and these moving members 7a, 8a is provided inside the manual delivery member 7 and the main body 1, respectively, and is located at a corresponding position of the automatic delivery member 8, which is composed of a rotary cam, etc., and the delivery operation unit 9 is installed between the water tank 5 and the water channel 60. ing. 9a
and 9b are the inflow path on the water tank 5 side and the discharge path on the water channel 6 side.

They are provided at a communication site with the water tank 5 and a communication site with the waterway 6, respectively, and an inflow valve 5a and a discharge valve 6a made of a ball and a spring are provided inside each of them.

Next, we will talk about the action of such Nuthemer during automatic jetting operation. First, the water tank 5 filled with water is attached to the main body 1. Next, when the heater 3 is energized and the automatic delivery member 8, which is a cam, is rotated by half a turn, the pressure inside the sealed delivery section 9 increases and the discharge valve 6a of the discharge passage 9b opens. Subsequently, when the automatic delivery member 8 is rotated half a turn, the delivery section 9
The internal pressure decreases, the inflow valve 5a in the inflow path 9a opens, and an appropriate amount of water in the water tank 5 flows into the delivery section 9 and stays there.

Thereafter, when the automatic delivery member 8 repeats full rotations, the discharge valve 6a opens during the first half rotation, and the water remaining in the delivery part 9 flows into the vaporization chamber 4 through the water channel 6. This inflowing water touches the inner wall of the vaporization chamber 4 heated by the heating heater 3, is vaporized by the hot air inside, and is ejected from the steam ejection part 2 to the outside of the main body 1 through the ejection port 23.

Next, we will discuss the action of the Nuthemer when it is operated manually. First, as in the automatic jetting operation, when the heating heater 6 is energized and the manual delivery member 7 is pressed, the same effect as in the first half rotation during the automatic jetting operation is obtained. Subsequently, when the pressing operation of the manual delivery member 7 is released, an appropriate amount of water in the water tank 5 flows into the delivery portion 9 in the same manner as the next half turn during the automatic jetting operation.

When the manual operating member 7 is fully pressed again, the discharge valve 6a opens as described above, and an appropriate amount of water that had accumulated in the delivery section 9 flows into the vaporization chamber 4 through the water channel 6, vaporizes, and flows out of the main body 1. gush.

Next, FIG. 2 shows all the details of the water tank 5 in FIG. 1. This water tank 5 is made of, for example, a transparent synthetic resin, and has a water spout 5a connected to a water channel 6 on the top surface, and an intake pulp 5.
b. A water inlet 5c is provided, and the water intake 5ai is opened near the bottom of the tank.

Further, a specified water level 5c is carved on the outer wall of the tank. Further, a barrier 5f is provided below the water inlet 5c, and its height is at the same position as the specified water level. A 15gk filler is press-fitted into the upper surface of the water inlet 5c to close it.

In this case, the barrier 5f of the water inlet 5c is the same as the specified water level 5e of the water tank 5, so the amount of water injected under -atmospheric pressure can be regulated by the height of the barrier 5f, so it is necessary to carefully match it visually to the water level display. do not have.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by providing an automatic delivery member and a manual delivery member in one main body, when the automatic delivery member is operated, an appropriate amount of water in the water tank automatically flows into the vaporization chamber. Full steam is automatically ejected for a certain period of time. Further, when the manual delivery member is operated as in the conventional case, water in the water tank flows into the vaporization chamber in accordance with the operation, and steam is ejected. Therefore, if the cam is rotated electrically, the entire amount of steam can be ejected by applying a voltage without any manual operation.

In addition, there is no need to be careful when pouring water into the water tank, and add water little by little, making the water pouring operation easy.
