METHOD FOR FILLING A GARMENT CARE DEVICE WITH WATER Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC D06F75/26 

FIELD: home appliances.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for filling a garment care device with water, wherein the garment care device contains a mobile unit containing a steam generator, a base, a cord for connecting the base and the mobile unit, a water tank and a first pump located in the base for pumping water from the water tank into the steam generator through a cord. The method includes the step (S1) of starting the heating of the steam generator, the first step of detecting that the temperature (T) of the steam generator is equal to or greater than the specified first elevated temperature (T1). After the temperature (T) of the steam generator is equal to or greater than the specified first elevated temperature (T1), the method includes a step (S3) of starting the first pump, a second step (S4) of detecting that the temperature (T) of the steam generator is equal to or greater than the specified second elevated temperature (T2), and the specified second elevated temperature (T2) is equal to or greater than the specified first elevated temperature (T1). After the temperature (T) of the steam generator is equal to or greater than the specified second elevated temperature (T2), the method includes a step (S5) of stopping the heating of the steam generator, a step (S6) of measuring at least one rate of temperature decrease for the steam generator. After exceeding a certain threshold value (TH) specified by at least one rate (R) of reducing the temperature of the steam generator, the method includes a step (S7) of stopping the first pump.

EFFECT: expansion of the range of home appliances.
