Electric iron

What is an electric iron?

Iron is a tool for smoothing clothes and fabrics, is one of the common household appliances in modern times, it uses an electric heating element to heat the soleplate, through high temperature and pressure to smooth out the folds on the fabric, iron is used to remove wrinkles on the clothes of the product .

How does an iron work?

The heating materials inside the iron, such as nickel-chrome alloy wires, generate heat from the electric heating element when current is passed through it. This heat is transferred to the soleplate, so that the temperature of the soleplate rises. The soleplate is usually made of metal, such as aluminum alloy iron, copper alloy iron, etc., because the metal has good thermal conductivity, can quickly and evenly transfer heat. When the temperature of the soleplate rises to a certain level, the clothes are placed on the soleplate, and the heat of the soleplate will be transferred to the clothes, making the fibers of the clothes soft and thus easier to be smoothed out of the creases. During the ironing process, the temperature and pressure of the iron can be adjusted as needed to achieve the best ironing results.

The main types of irons?

Regular irons (old-fashioned irons).

Ordinary type iron is also known as the old-fashioned iron (forty-fifty and sixties old-fashioned iron for sale is more common):The most basic form of the iron is shown in the figure. Simple structure, mainly by the soleplate, electric heating element, pressure plate, cover, handle and other parts. Because the temperature can not be adjusted, has been gradually eliminated. Buying an electric iron needs to avoid this type of old iron, old iron, sunshine iron.

Temperature-regulated iron

Temperature-regulated iron

Temperature control type iron is in the ordinary type of iron on the increase in temperature control device and become as shown in the figure. Temperature control element using bimetal, the use of temperature knob to change the initial distance between the static and dynamic contacts on the bimetal and pressure, you can get the desired ironing temperature. Through the iron rated temperature adjustment range is generally 600C ~ 250 ℃. It is a general-purpose iron, in the Amazon iron sold on the more best iron brands have Philips iron, Singer iron, daylight iron.

Steam Iron/Pressurized Steam Iron

Steam-type iron: on the basis of temperature-regulating type of iron to increase the steam generator and steam controller and become, through the iron steam press with temperature regulation and steam spray dual function, without artificial water spray. Steam iron compared to the traditional iron is more advanced iron. Inside the iron built a small water tank (water tank capacity 200ml-350ml) steam iron usually has a water tank, the user will pour water into the water tank. After the switch is activated, the iron starts to heat up. During the heating process, the water starts to turn into steam. When the temperature rises, steam is generated and released through the outlet nozzle. The user places the garment on the work plate of the iron and jets the steam onto the surface of the garment. By coming into contact with the garment, the steam is able to penetrate into the fibers and loosen the fiber structure. The power is usually in the range of 1100w-2500w, and the power is adjusted through the switch (usually 5-10 gears), which can be freely set for different fabrics, and the ironing effect is more professional. Now the mainstream is ceramic soleplate or Aluminum base plateThis material has excellent thermal conductivity, low weight and good smoothness.

Pressurized Steam Iron.Is the greater pressure of steam type iron, through the iron steam pressure machine to increase the amount of steam iron iron steam, once the clothes can be ironed flat do not need to repeat ironing.Apparel Manufacturers in China More often used.

Which because some users do not like with power cord, in order to get rid of the traditional cable ironing constraints, steam-type iron and derived from the Cordless Steam Iron. Cordless irons have a built-in battery,With a built-in water tank and heating element, cordless steam irons are able to produce steam continuously to help soften clothing fibers. There are numerous brands and models of cordless steam irons on the market, such as Philips, Panasonic, Nepal, Longfellow, and others.

Antique Iron

Antique irons usually refer to irons left over from history, such as charcoal irons, soldering irons, and water-filled irons. These irons are significantly different from modern irons in terms of design and material, and they have witnessed the evolution of irons from ancient times to modern times. Antique irons not only have practical value, but also have high collection value and historical and cultural significance. In some antique collections or museums, you can see these precious iron exhibits.
