Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless apparatus for producing steam.
- the present invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to the field of steam jet cleaning.
- WO 2014/009666 in the name of the present applicant already discloses a wireless cleaning apparatus, comprising a solid metal body, designed capable of storing calories, and traversed by at least one channel or the like which connects a water tank with means for extracting steam.
- a steam mop device comprising a liquid reservoir, a heating element and a power cord and / or a battery-type electrical power source.
- the heating element is of the type commonly used, namely that it comprises in a body, a closed cavity, and a heated plate by means of one or more heating wires, disposed substantially vertically in said cavity and on the upper part of which is poured water which is then vaporized to escape in the lower part through a nozzle.
- This steam mop device operates only being electrically powered, either by being connected wired, or, as evoked, through rechargeable batteries. It should be noted that in the case of use of rechargeable batteries, the duration of use and the quality of the steam obtained seem very limited.
- the present invention aims to improve the aforementioned apparatus, so as to increase its effectiveness, including allowing the diffusion of a substantially constant temperature vapor throughout its use.
- the wireless apparatus for producing steam comprises a water tank, means for extracting the steam produced by steam generating means, which comprise means for storing calories generated, before 1 operation of steam generation, by electrical means for generating heat reversibly connectable to an electrical power supply, and wherein said storage means consists of a metal mass, characterized in that it comprises water projection means disposed opposite a wall, said receiver, of said metal mass, and which are capable of projecting water on said wall, while deflector means contain the steam created and channel it to said extraction means which are arranged on the periphery of said receiving wall, and which consist of at least one opening.
- the bottom surface of the chamber on which water is projected is large in proportion to the flow of water.
- the extraction means consist of simple openings, that is to say that it is not a question of nozzles as in the existing devices, in order to avoid any pressurization, and to favor an exit fast. Indeed, a too long maintenance of the steam in contact with the receiving wall, would lead to a risk of overheating of the steam, and therefore a non-constant temperature thereof, synonymous with a lower quality of use.
- the receiving wall is the bottom of a cavity formed in an outer face of the metal mass, while the deflector means consist of a cover adapted to close said cavity.
- the receiving wall is the bottom of a chamber formed inside the metal mass.
- the water projection means are configured to preferably project it into fine droplets on the receiving wall.
- Water can also be provided in a different manner, for example, dropwise or by flow.
- the receiving wall has asperities.
- the asperities have the function of slowing down the movement of water droplets caused by the flow of steam. On the other hand, these asperities make it possible to increase the exchange surface.
- the asperities are in the form of a multiplicity of alternating concave and / or convex zones.
- the means for extracting the vapor are associated with a filter to be deviculated.
- the amount of water is not completely controllable depending eg on the shapes of the device, so the use of a filter to deflect, placed at the outlet of the steam, can retain a possible excess of water due to the capillary action of the water.
- the filter to be deviculated consists of iron straw or stainless steel.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of the steam generator of an apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of another embodiment of the steam generator of an apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a partial schematic perspective view of a steam generator of an apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 represents a schematic sectional view of the steam generator of FIG. 3.
- a steam generator of a wireless cleaning apparatus comprises, in a similar manner to the document WO 2014/009666, a solid metal body 1, designed adapted to storing calories, in which is formed a chamber 2, connected on one side to a conduit 20 for supplying water and the opposite side to a conduit 21 for extracting steam.
- the water is projected by the conduit 30 on the bottom 31 of the chamber 3, in contact with which it is vaporized to exit under pressure through the conduit 40.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 relating to a preferred embodiment, one can see part of a steam generator, and more particularly the solid metal body 1, at the periphery of which is provided a chamber 3, open on the outside, intended to be sealed by a lid 4 not shown in Figure 3, and in which opens on the one hand a conduit 30 for supplying water, and on the other hand a conduit 32 for extracting the vapor, not visible in FIG.
- the bottom 31 of the chamber 3 comprises a multiplicity of convex asperities 33 which, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 can also be concave, knowing that it is also possible that the bottom 31 has concave asperities and asperities convex.
