Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to an ironing device that simplifies temperature regulation.

Configuration of conventional irons and their problems Conventional irons have a heater that heats the base,
It has a configuration that includes a temperature adjustment device such as a thermostat that controls the energization of the heater based on the temperature of the base, and a temperature setting device that includes a lever, dial, temperature scale, etc. that sets the temperature of the temperature adjustment device. However, with this type of structure, the iron body is equipped with a temperature control device so that the temperature can be set to any desired temperature.
There was a problem that it was difficult to set the temperature because it was difficult to know which temperature was suitable for the clothes being ironed.

In addition, in such cases, even if you check the fiber type by looking at the fiber label sewn into the clothing, etc., you can adjust the lever or dial to match the temperature scale depending on the type of fiber displayed. There was a problem with having to set the temperature to the desired temperature.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an ironing device that can easily and reliably set the optimum temperature for the clothes to be ironed.

Structure of the Invention A first means of the present invention to achieve the above object includes an iron body having a base heated by a heater, and an iron body provided in the iron body and setting the temperature of the base. a temperature setting device; a control device connected to the heater circuit and controlling energization to the heater to control the base to a temperature set by the temperature setting device; and a fiber provided on clothing or the like. It is equipped with a reading device that reads the display contents of the display tag, and a notification device that is connected to the reading device and notifies the display contents of the fiber display tag read by the reading device as set temperature information. The second means includes an iron main body having a base heated by a heater, a control device that controls electricity supply to the heater to control the base to a set temperature, and a control device connected to the control device. and a reading device for reading the displayed contents of a fiber labeling tag provided on clothing, etc., converting it into a temperature setting signal, and inputting the signal to the control device.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 is an iron body having a base 2 on the bottom; 3
is a fiber label b sewn onto clothing a etc. using a reading device using an optical reader method or a magnetic reader method attached to the rear end surface of the iron main body 1.
Read. 4 is a notification device attached to the rear end of the upper surface of the iron body 1 and connected to the reading device 3;
Display the contents read by . Reference numeral 5 denotes a temperature setting device including a knob 5a and a temperature scale 5b attached to the front end of the upper surface of the iron main body 1, and is used to set the temperature of a control device that controls the energization of the heater attached to the base 2. 6 is a cord for supplying power to the ironing device, and 7 is a power plug attached to the tip of the cord 6.

In the above configuration, in order to read the fiber labeling tag b sewn onto the clothing a, the iron main body 1 is made to stand on its own as shown in FIG.
Connect to. Then, the reading device 3 reads the fiber label b
The pictographs and codes are read and the contents are displayed by the notification device 4. This display can notify the user more effectively by using a combination of visual display using light emitting diodes such as LEDs and synthesized voice display using a microcomputer.

The user then operates the knob 5a of the temperature setting device 5 to match the temperature scale 5b in accordance with the display contents of the notification device 4, thereby setting the temperature of the base 2. Then, the control device maintains the temperature of the base 2 at the set temperature. In this way, the reading device 3 reads the fiber label b sewn onto the clothing a, etc., and the notifying device 4 notifies the user of the read content, so the user follows the temperature setting device 5.
The temperature of the base 2 can be set according to the following.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. However, members having the same functions will be given the same reference numerals as those in the embodiment based on the first constituent feature, and their explanation will be omitted. Reference numeral 8 denotes a reading device that reads the fiber label b and outputs a set temperature signal, and 9 is a control device that receives the set temperature signal from the reading device 8 and controls energization of the heater 10 to maintain the base 2 at the set temperature.

In the above configuration, the reading device 8 which reads the fiber label b sewn onto the clothing a outputs a set temperature signal. At the same time, the notification device 4 connected to the reading device 8 notifies the user of the operating status of the ironing device and the content read by the reading device 8 audio-visually using LEDs and synthesized voice. The control device 9 to which the set temperature signal output from the reading device 8 is input controls the energization of the heater 10 and automatically maintains the base 2 at the set temperature. In this way, the reading device 8
The content read by the controller 9 is used as a set temperature signal.
Since the control device 9 automatically controls the temperature of the base 2 by inputting the information into the input data, the user can set the optimum temperature according to the fiber label b without touching the temperature.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 6, the reading device 11 and the notification device 12 can be integrated and formed separately from the iron main body 1, thereby reducing the size of the iron main body 1. In this case, it is also possible to attach only the notification device to the iron body and effectively notify the user at a position close to the user.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the ironing device of the present invention includes a reading device that reads the display contents of a fiber label label provided on clothing, etc., and an iron device that is connected to the reading device and read by the reading device. By being equipped with a notification device that notifies the contents displayed on the fiber label as set temperature information, the base can be accurately set at a temperature suitable for the clothes to be ironed based on the contents notified by the notification device. Can be set.

Furthermore, by being equipped with a reading device that reads the display contents of a fiber label label provided on clothing, etc., converts it into a temperature setting signal, and inputs it to the control device,
The temperature can be easily and reliably set to the optimum temperature for the fabric to be ironed without the user having to manually set the temperature.
