Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ironing device for removing wrinkles from clothing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of ironing device has been disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-1
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 20200, the structure is as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, the iron 1 must be carried to the area where the fiber display screen is provided each time the garment a to be ironed is changed, making it difficult to use. There was a problem with it being bad.
In other words, it is common to iron many types of clothes at once, and it is necessary to hold the hot iron 1 in an upright position during the ironing process, so you may accidentally touch the hot part. There was a risk of burns.

Furthermore, since the reading section 2 is located on the free-standing surface of the iron 1, the fiber display is hidden by the iron 1, making it impossible to read it reliably and smoothly.

Furthermore, although a cord 3 is provided with a reading section 2, it is not easy to use because it moves during ironing and becomes a hindrance to the work.

Therefore, a primary object of the present invention is to provide an ironing device that can read the fiber markings on clothing without moving the iron and set the optimum temperature for the clothing.

A second object is to obtain an ironing device that can reliably prevent damage to clothes when the setting is changed to a temperature lower than the temperature of the iron in use.

A third object is to provide an ironing device that allows the operator to set the base temperature as desired, regardless of the temperature displayed on the clothes.

Means for Solving the Problems And in order to achieve the above-mentioned first object, the present invention provides a mounting table with a reading device for reading fiber markings provided on clothing or the like.

Further, in order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides a notification means for notifying when the base temperature is higher than the temperature set by the reading device.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the third object, the present invention provides a temperature setting means consisting of a reading device for reading fiber markings provided on clothing, etc., and a manual temperature setting means that can arbitrarily set the temperature of the base, This allows switching between settings made by the reading device and manual settings.

The ironing device of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, so that even when ironing different types of clothes, the fiber display can be read by the reading device on the mounting table during a series of operations to prepare the clothes without moving the high-temperature and heavy iron. You can set the temperature to suit the clothing by simply holding it close to the temperature. This means that you will be able to set and reach the set temperature while conditioning your clothes.

In addition, the notification means will notify you when the settings are changed on the reading device.
Especially when the temperature is set lower than the current temperature of the base, ironing can be prevented immediately. In other words, the base temperature will not drop immediately even if you lower the setting.
It is possible to easily notify the operator that the base temperature has not reached the desired temperature.

Furthermore, by switching between settings using the reading device and manual settings, the temperature of the base can be raised slightly manually at the operator's option, even when using a pressing cloth to prevent ironing caused by ironing. It also becomes possible. In other words, the temperature of the fibers can be corrected by using the pressing cloth, and the wrinkle smoothing effect can be enhanced.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 44, reference numeral 4 denotes an iron main body having a base 6 heated by a heater 5, 7 a mounting table on which the iron main body 4 is placed in a free-standing state, and a power supply part (
(not shown), and when the iron body 4 is placed thereon, it is electrically connected to a heater circuit and the base 6 is heated. Reference numeral 8 denotes a control circuit provided on the mounting table 7 and connected to a power source via a DC converter 9.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a heater control device connected to the heater circuit, which is composed of, for example, a relay triac, etc., and is operated by the output of the control circuit 8. 1) is a temperature detection means composed of a thermistor or the like that inputs temperature information of the base 6 to the control circuit 8; 12 is a temperature setting means configured by a reading device 13 such as an optical reader installed on the mounting table 7; By bringing the fiber indicator sewn onto clothing a etc. close to the reading device 13 and having it read, the temperature is automatically set to be suitable for the clothing a. Reference numeral 14 denotes a manual temperature setting means provided on the mounting table 7, by which an arbitrary temperature can be selected and set, and the temperature is displayed on a display bag ft15 such as an LED. 16 is a switching means for switching the temperature setting between automatic and manual, and 17 is a notification means that operates when the set temperature is lower than the temperature of the base 6.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. First, after energizing the iron main body 4 stored in the mounting table 7 through the power supply section using a certain cord, the fiber display screen of the garment a to be ironed is brought close to the reading device 13, and the Ironing is done at the appropriate temperature. When the next time a different garment is to be hung, the new setting is completed by simply bringing the fiber display screen closer to the reading device 13, and there is no need to move the iron, which is heated to a high temperature, for setting each time.

Also, if the newly set temperature is lower than the base temperature, it will take some time for the base temperature to drop to the set temperature, so if it is used immediately, it may overheat and damage the clothes. be.

Therefore, it is possible to notify the user to warn them.

Furthermore, depending on the clothing, a patch cloth may be used to prevent the ironing caused by ironing. In such a case, the temperature of the clothing becomes low and the wrinkle smoothing effect decreases, so the temperature setting can be switched to manual. That is, the temperature of the base can be raised higher than the appropriate temperature of the clothing according to the will of the worker.

In addition, the above example shows a cordless iron that also serves as an energizing stand that is energized when the iron body is placed on the placing stand, and includes a free-standing type as well as a type in which the iron is placed with the base horizontally or tilted. Alternatively, a general iron with a cord connected directly to the iron body may be placed. Furthermore, the mounting table provided with this reading device may be included in the ironing board, or the reading device may be provided in a part of the ironing board.

In short, it is sufficient if the temperature can be set by the reading device without moving the iron.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, since a reading device is provided on the mounting table, settings can be easily performed without having to move a heavy iron that is heated to a high temperature each time the setting is made, and the iron can be easily set. It is very reasonable to simply read it at the beginning of the process of handling and preparing the clothes to be hung.
Moreover, it is safe and causes less burns.

Furthermore, by providing a notification means that operates when the newly set temperature is lower than the base temperature, it is safe to prevent damage to the clothes even when ironing many clothes at once.

Furthermore, since it is equipped with a means for switching between manual settings and manual settings, it is possible to switch as desired according to the will of the operator, adding the flexibility of manual settings to the convenience of automatic settings and improving the finishing effect. It is something that can be done.
