Description

L'invention se rapporte aux générateurs de vapeur pour fer à repasser comportant un boîtier renfermant une chaudière présentant un fond, une paroi latérale et un couvercle, ledit fond étant équipé d'une résistance électrique chauffante déterminant une zone de chauffage intense, et ledit couvercle présentant un orifice de remplissage communiquant au moyen d'un ajutage avec une ouverture pratiquée dans le boîtier.The invention relates to steam generators for irons comprising a housing containing a boiler having a bottom, a side wall and a cover, said bottom being equipped with an electric heating resistance determining an intense heating zone, and said cover. having a filling orifice communicating by means of a nozzle with an opening made in the housing.

Dans de tels générateurs, on constate bien souvent, au début de l'opération de remplissage en eau de la chaudière lorsqu'elle est vide et toujours chaude, une émission importante de vapeur et des projections d'eau chaude hors de l'ajutage, susceptibles d'occasionner des brûlures à l'usager. Cette émission de vapeur et ces projections d'eau chaude s'expliquent par le fait que, généralement les chaudières n'ayant pas une grande profondeur pour des raisons d'encombrement et d'esthétique, l'eau de remplissage dans une première phase se vaporise instantanément, puis dans une seconde phase se répand sur le fond chaud ou surchauffé et se met à bouillir violemment entraînant des gouttes d'eau chaude hors de l'ajutage.In such generators, very often, at the start of the operation of filling the boiler with water when it is empty and always hot, a significant emission of steam and projections of hot water outside the nozzle, likely to cause burns to the user. This emission of steam and these projections of hot water is explained by the fact that, generally boilers not having a great depth for reasons of space and aesthetics, the filling water in a first phase is vaporizes instantly, then in a second phase spreads on the hot or overheated bottom and begins to boil violently causing drops of hot water out of the nozzle.

Le but de la présente invention est de supprimer ces inconvénients.The object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.

Selon l'invention, le fond de la chaudière présente une région formant point bas agencée en partie hors de la zone de chauffage intense, et l'orifice de remplissage est pratiqué au-dessus dudit point bas.According to the invention, the bottom of the boiler has a region forming a low point arranged in part outside the zone of intense heating, and the filling orifice is formed above said low point.

Ainsi, grâce à cette combinaison, la zone formant point bas, moins chauffée que la zone de chauffage intense de la résistance électrique, retient une petite quantité d'eau résiduelle sur le fond, et l'eau de remplissage tombe directement sur cette eau résiduelle empêchant la vaporisation, puis se répand progressivement de cette zone chaude vers la zone de chauffage intense sans provoquer d'ébullition violente.Thus, thanks to this combination, the low point zone, less heated than the zone of intense heating of the electrical resistance, retains a small amount of residual water on the bottom, and the filling water falls directly on this residual water. preventing vaporization, then gradually spreads from this hot zone to the zone of intense heating without causing violent boiling.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le fond de la chaudière est agencé dans un plan incliné par rapport à un plan horizontal de manière à constituer dans la partie la plus basse de ladite chaudière le point bas, et l'orifice de remplissage est agencé en un point de la région périphérique du couvercle situé au-dessus du point bas.According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the boiler is arranged in an inclined plane with respect to a horizontal plane so as to constitute in the lowest part of said boiler the low point, and the filling orifice is arranged in a point in the peripheral region of the cover located above the low point.

Ce fond incliné permet d'obtenir un point bas de manière simple et économique puisqu'il évite des opérations mécaniques sur le fond de la chaudière telles qu'emboutissage ou soudure d'une pièce rapportée pour obtenir une dépression formant ledit point bas.This inclined bottom makes it possible to obtain a low point in a simple and economical manner since it avoids mechanical operations on the bottom of the boiler such as stamping or welding of an added part to obtain a vacuum forming said low point.

Les caractéristique et avantages de l'invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui va suivre, à titre d'exemple, en référence au dessin annexé représentant en coupe verticale et schématique un générateur de vapeur selon l'invention.The characteristics and advantages of the invention will moreover emerge from the description which follows, by way of example, with reference to the appended drawing representing in vertical and schematic section a steam generator according to the invention.

Comme représenté à la figure unique du dessin, le générateur de vapeur 1 est destiné à alimenter par un tube flexible 2 un fer à repasser à vapeur schématisé en 3. Ce générateur comprend un boîtier 4 renfermant une chaudière métallique 5 présentant un fond 6, une paroi latérale 7 et un couvercle 8, ledit fond 6 étant équipé d'une résistance électrique chauffante 9 déterminant une zone de chauffage intense, et ledit couvercle présentant un orifice de remplissage 10 communiquant au moyen d'un ajutage 11 avec une ouverture 12 pratiquée dans le boîtier 4. Cet ajutage est monté de façon étanche sur l'orifice 10 et est fermé par un bouchon (non représenté) lorsque la chaudière est remplie d'eau et prête à générer la vapeur pour le fer 3.As shown in the single figure of the drawing, the steam generator 1 is intended to supply by a flexible tube 2 a steam iron shown diagrammatically at 3. This generator comprises a housing 4 enclosing a metal boiler 5 having a bottom 6, a side wall 7 and a cover 8, said bottom 6 being equipped with an electric heating resistor 9 determining a zone of intense heating, and said cover having a filling orifice 10 communicating by means of a nozzle 11 with an opening 12 formed in the housing 4. This nozzle is tightly mounted on the orifice 10 and is closed by a plug (not shown) when the boiler is filled with water and ready to generate steam for the iron 3.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation non représenté, la résistance électrique chauffante est du type tubulaire blindée et est soit soudée soit sertie sur le fond de la chaudière de manière à obtenir un excellent échange thermique pour créer une zone de chauffage intense pratiquement au droit de la résistance.According to a first embodiment not shown, the electric heating resistance is of the armored tubular type and is either welded or crimped on the bottom of the boiler so as to obtain an excellent heat exchange to create an intense heating zone practically at the level of the resistance.

Selon un second mode préféré de réalisation et comme illustré, la résistance électrique chauffante est noyée dans une plaque de fonderie 13 de manière à obtenir une large zone de chauffage intense et uniforme pratiquement au droit de cette plaque.According to a second preferred embodiment and as illustrated, the electrical heating resistance is embedded in a foundry plate 13 so as to obtain a large, intense and uniform heating zone practically in line with this plate.

Selon l'invention, le fond 6 de la chaudière présente une région 14 formant point bas agencé en partie hors de la zone de chauffage intense, et l'orifice de remplissage 10 est pratiqué au-dessus dudit point bas.According to the invention, the bottom 6 of the boiler has a region 14 forming a low point arranged in part outside the intense heating zone, and the filling orifice 10 is formed above said low point.

Ce point bas peut, par exemple, être réalisé par une dépression (non illustrée) pratiquée par emboutissage ou obtenue par soudure d'un godet dans le fond 6 de la chaudière, à distance soit du chemin de la résistance blindée tubulaire soit de la périphérie de la plaque chauffante 13. De préférence et comme illustré, le fond 6 de la chaudière 5 s'étend dans un plan et est monté incliné dans le boîtier 4 par rapport à un plan horizontal tel que par exemple le plan horizontal P sur lequel repose le boîtier 4 en position de travail, de manière à constituer dans la partie la plus basse de la chaudière le point bas 14. Comme représenté, ce point bas 14 est situé hors de la zone de chauffage intense constitué par la plaque chauffante 13, c'est-à-dire entre la paroi latérale 7 et la périphérie de la plaque 13.This low point can, for example, be achieved by a depression (not illustrated) made by stamping or obtained by welding a bucket in the bottom 6 of the boiler, at a distance either from the path of the tubular armored resistance or from the periphery of the plate heating 13. Preferably and as illustrated, the bottom 6 of the boiler 5 extends in a plane and is mounted inclined in the housing 4 relative to a horizontal plane such as for example the horizontal plane P on which the housing 4 rests in the working position, so as to constitute in the lowest part of the boiler the low point 14. As shown, this low point 14 is located outside the intense heating zone constituted by the heating plate 13, that is that is to say between the side wall 7 and the periphery of the plate 13.

Dans cette réalisation, l'orifice de remplissage 10 est agencé en un point de la région périphérique du couvercle 8 situé au-dessus du point bas 14.In this embodiment, the filling orifice 10 is arranged at a point in the peripheral region of the cover 8 situated above the low point 14.

En se référant au dessin, on comprend que grâce à cette disposition du point bas 14 par rapport à la plaque 13, ce point bas 14 constitue une réserve d'eau non bouillante dans laquelle l'eau de remplissage introduite par l'ajutage 11 vient s'écouler directement et contribue à refroidir cette réserve d'eau. Au fur et à mesure du remplissage, le niveau de l'eau monte graduellement sur la surface inclinée du fond 6 en se réchauffant graduellement au niveau de la zone de chauffage intense sans créer de bouillonnement violent ni de projections d'eau importantes.Referring to the drawing, it is understood that thanks to this arrangement of the low point 14 relative to the plate 13, this low point 14 constitutes a reserve of non-boiling water in which the filling water introduced by the nozzle 11 comes flow directly and helps to cool this water reserve. As the filling progresses, the water level gradually rises on the inclined surface of the bottom 6 while gradually heating up at the level of the intense heating zone without creating violent bubbling or significant splashes of water.

En outre, de manière à éliminer tout risque de projections, l'invention prévoit que l'ajutage 11 comporte un tronçon inférieur 15 s'étendant dans la chaudière 5 au-delà de l'orifice 10 en direction du point bas 14. La longueur de ce tronçon 15 est de préférence voisine du tiers de la profondeur de la chaudière 5 mesurée entre le point bas 14 et l'orifice de remplissage 10.In addition, in order to eliminate any risk of projections, the invention provides that the nozzle 11 comprises a lower section 15 extending in the boiler 5 beyond the orifice 10 in the direction of the low point 14. The length of this section 15 is preferably close to one third of the depth of the boiler 5 measured between the low point 14 and the filling orifice 10.

Ainsi, ce tronçon 15 constitue, non seulement, un guide d'écoulement régulier de l'eau de remplissage vers le point bas 14, mais aussi une garde contre les projections d'eau éventuelles désordonnées, tout en ménageant dans le haut de la chaudière une réserve de vapeur.Thus, this section 15 constitutes, not only, a regular flow guide for the filling water towards the low point 14, but also a guard against any possible water splashes, while leaving a reserve of steam at the top of the boiler.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, la chaudière 5 est formée de deux cuvettes dissymétriques supérieure 16 et inférieure 17 tournées l'une vers l'autre et assemblées par leurs bords périphériques 18 et 19, la cuvette inférieure 17 étant montée dans le boîtier 4 sur des épaulements 20 et 21 de hauteurs différentes de manière à placer le fond dans un plan incliné. Ce dispositif d'inclinaison de la cuvette inférieure 17 est d'une réalisation particulièrement simple et économique.According to a preferred embodiment, the boiler 5 is formed by two asymmetrical upper 16 and lower 17 cups turned towards one another and assembled by their peripheral edges 18 and 19, the lower bowl 17 being mounted in the housing 4 on shoulders 20 and 21 of different heights so as to place the bottom in an inclined plane. This tilting device of the lower bowl 17 is of a particularly simple and economical embodiment.
