We’ll introduce how to design the anti-drip
system with bimetal disc for steam iron in this article.
First of all, let’s know more about the structure
of the key part for anti drip.
You could see the bimetal disc on the left
side made by FSTB, it’s comprised by the a round bimetal material with a hole (In
fact, you could customize the shape of bimetal to meet the size of your iron
plate) and a handle, the material can be fixed by the screw, this material is
also the core component of a bimetal thermostat. This material is compressed by
two different types of metal with different temperature performance, when the
temperature rise or reduce, the bimetal will open or close the tank valve.
When the temperature is too low, the tank
valve is closed by the handle of bimetal disc. Water is only released to through
the tank valve into the steam chamber if the soleplate temperature is high
enough to evaporate all water.
For the appliance design engineers, the key
points are to decide in what temperature to open the tank valve, and what
temperature to close it, the distance between open position and close position
of the handle. We can customize the shape or the diameter of the anti-drip disc,
the length, the thickness or the width of the handle.
FSTB is always providing the complete
temperature control solution for electric iron, we’re pleasure to share our
experience for your designing.
With our producing experiences, we’ve been serving
many appliance brands such as BSH, PHILIPS, and so on for many years.
