The irons we have at hand are usually steam irons, and those ... antique irons with water, charcoal and sandwich have no memory for the younger generation.

through the Millennium, let's comb the history of the iron again. The earliest history of China's invention of the iron as an instrument of torture can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. It was invented as an instrument of torture and was specially used to iron people's skin, which is reminiscent of the story of the cruel Shang Zhouwang who branded loyal ministers.

irons were first used to iron clothes in Han dynasty and became popular in Ming and Qing dynasties. According to archaeological research, the ancient iron in China was more than 16 years earlier than the iron invented abroad, and it was the first country in the world to invent and use the iron.

irons for ironing clothes appeared in China in the Han Dynasty (AD 2). Du Yuji in the Jin Dynasty wrote: "Medicine pestle, bathtub, iron ... are all urgent needs of the people."

It can be seen that the iron was already a folk household appliance at that time. According to the introduction of the Bronze Dictionary, irons in the Han and Wei Dynasties were made of bronze, and some irons were engraved with the inscription "Iron Straightens Clothes", which shows that people at that time already knew the purpose of irons.

There are two explanations about the origin of the name "iron" in ancient Chinese. One is to take the meaning of symbolizing Beidou, which is explained in Shuowen Jiezi of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The bucket has a handle"; The Qing Dynasty's Notes on Shuowen Jiezi wrote: "The top is like a bucket, and the bottom is like its handle. If the bucket has a handle, it will cover Beidou." Second, the iron looks like a bucket.

There are also irons called "fire bucket" and "golden bucket". Because ancient irons did not use electricity, they put red-hot charcoal in the iron and used it after the bottom of the iron was too hot to burn your hands, so it was also called "fire bucket".

"golden bucket" refers to a very delicate iron, which is not a common folk product, and can only be enjoyed by royalty. In some local laundries, charcoal irons are still used because of special needs or without electricity.

The electric iron was born at the beginning of the 2th century. Europeans have been ironing their own clothes since the 17th century. They use a heavy "flat iron" to iron clothes after heating them in a fire or a hot metal plate, but this ironing is easy to make the iron too hot and scorch clothes. The worry about this matter is also manifested in the fact that the iron block has not been completely heated when the ironing is started.

sometimes the iron handle is also very hot. This means that people often hurt themselves while ironing clothes.

In the 19th century, Europe adopted a hollow iron with hot water or coal embers in it, and the situation improved a little. Look at the French iron made in 196. It is a very simple device, and none of the heating accessories are suitable for modern irons.

this means that it is almost as difficult to use as the old "flat iron" except that it doesn't have to be heated in the fire first. New york inventor Henry? W? Lucy changed all this yesterday.

he invented the first electric iron in 1882. It is equipped with a wire element.

when the current passes through, the metal wire will generate heat, which is the same as the traditional electric furnace. The problem with the seeley iron is that when it appeared, only a few families had electricity.

Therefore, many people continued to use the "flat iron" and entered the 2th century. In 1913, the famous French company "calori" introduced the world's first electric iron design sample.

however, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was invented by an American named Gitzff? Mill was successfully developed. In 1926, the first steam iron appeared in new york, and its steam jet made the fabric being ironed wet. The steam iron was manufactured by a company called "Eldec".

Only then did the steam electric iron enter the homes of ordinary people. In 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared.

in 1953, the spray steam electric iron came out. Handy modern irons At present, there are two kinds of electric irons that are produced and used more in China: ordinary ones and ordinary ones.

it is mainly composed of bottom plate, heating element, pressing iron, temperature regulating device, casing, etc. The bottom plate is made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, and some electric heating elements are mica skeleton. In recent years, PTC elements are used as heating elements, which can not only save electricity, but also automatically regulate temperature. The problem of unreliable temperature control quality of thermostat made of bimetal in old products has been avoided. There are also new varieties of electric irons such as jet type, spray type, constant temperature type and electrolytic steam type, which are high-power, light, automatic temperature regulation, steam spraying or spraying. Pursuing beautiful appearance is the development direction of a new generation of electric irons.

The old electric iron needs to spray water on the clothes from time to time because of the rising temperature, otherwise, the clothes will be easily burnt. Today's electric irons have been replaced by guns, which not only increase the functions of automatic water spraying and cleaning, but also design different working temperatures for clothes with different textures, which is handy to use.

Nowadays, many electric irons have steam function. After steam injection, clothes can be disinfected and sterilized, and the elasticity of clothes can be restored. Sweaters with loose cuffs can also be restored to their original state by floating ironing, and even the odor such as cigarettes can be eliminated. Some electric irons also come with an iron collection box with exquisite appearance and convenient carrying, which can collect various types of electric irons. The heat-resistant inner layer can resist high temperature up to 26 degrees Celsius, ensuring the safety of the elderly and children.

in addition, some electric irons are original in design. There is an electric iron with a fully transparent water tank, which is detachable and used to dry iron the inner hole of the sleeve; Its titanium gold soleplate improves the slipperiness of the electric iron, and is more wear-resistant and durable, which makes ironing smoother and clothes less worn.

The automatic power-off device can avoid the inadvertent ironing of clothes and ensure the safety of home. There is also a steam ironing machine, which can clean and iron various fabrics such as silk, wool, sweaters, cashmere sweaters, etc., and its uniqueness lies in that it can quickly iron fabrics that are not easy to iron with ordinary irons, such as curtains and wedding dresses.

This kind of iron has changed the awkwardness, dexterity and simplicity of the traditional horizontal iron. Hang up the machine to separate the water storage device separately, so as to increase the water storage capacity, prolong the continuous use time, and eliminate the fatigue caused by the heavy hand feeling of directly storing water in the iron.

The future digital electric iron is nothing new while listening to music while working. But if there is a household appliance that works with a music player, have you heard? For example, a "digital player" supplies power to an electric iron.

This electric iron is undoubtedly the most exaggerated one among the iPod accessories. It is no exaggeration to say that "electric iron" is an accessory of digital products, because it only needs water. 2. The history of ironing

The ancient iron did not use electricity, but put red-hot charcoal in the iron, and then used it after the bottom of the iron became hot, so it was also called "fire bucket". "Golden bucket" refers to a very delicate iron, which is not a common folk product and can only be enjoyed by nobles. In some laundries today, charcoal irons are still used because of special needs or without electricity.

The ancient iron in China was 188 years earlier than the electric iron invented abroad, and it was the first country in the world to invent and use the iron.

The current electric iron was invented in new york on June 6th, 1882 by Henry Silly, an American. At that time, electricity had not entered ordinary families, so it could not be popularized. In 1913, the famous French company calori introduced the first electric iron design sample. However, it was not until 1924 that the first practical electric iron was successfully developed by an American, Gitzf Mill. It was not until 1926 that steam electric irons entered the homes of ordinary people. In 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared. In 1953, the electric iron with spray steam was introduced. However, according to the ancient cultural relics excavated by archaeologists and a large number of historical materials, the iron used to iron clothes appeared in the Han Dynasty (AD 2) in China. 3. The history of the iron < P > The origin of the name iron is that it symbolizes Beidou, and the shape of the iron is like an ancient cooking utensil "iron".

An iron is like a saucepan with no feet. Before ironing, put red charcoal in the iron and use it until the bottom is hot, so it is also called a "fire bucket". There are also irons called "Beidou" and "Golden Bucket".

The "Golden Bucket" is an iron refined by gilding technology. It is not a common folk product. Its earliest history can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. It was invented as a torture device, specially used to iron people's skin, which reminds people of the story of the cruel Shang Zhouwang. Iron was used to iron clothes only in Han Dynasty and was popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to archaeological research, the ancient iron in China was more than 16 years earlier than the iron invented abroad, and it was the first country in the world to invent and use the iron. The iron for ironing clothes was already a household appliance in the Han Dynasty.

The iron in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze, with a wide mouth and a long handle. Some irons are engraved with the inscription "Iron Straightening Clothes".

clothes ironing appliance. In ancient times, it was called "iron", also known as "fire bucket" and "golden bucket"

In ancient times, some copper irons had the inscription "Iron Straightens Clothes", indicating that it was an appliance for ironing clothes. Iron was a household appliance in the Han Dynasty in China.

The iron in the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze, with a wide mouth and a long handle. Some irons are engraved with the inscription "Iron Straightening Clothes".

In the 16th century, Dutch tailors used a large hollow box iron, and put the red-hot iron plate into the iron through the back door to heat it. In the 18th century, the most commonly used iron was a solid iron made of iron. People often used two irons alternately: one for ironing clothes and the other for heating on a charcoal fire.

The electric iron originated in the United States. Chadson converted electric energy into heat energy and developed it. In 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared.

in 1953, the spray steam electric iron came out. In ancient times, the iron was called cobalt.

Liu Zongyuan's Eight Chapters of Yongzhou contains two chapters, The Story of Cobalt Tantan and The Story of the West Hill of Cobalt Tantan. In the place names, you can also see the iron pit, the iron town, the iron table and the west iron street, all because the iron was used early and widely. The Jin Dynasty's Du Yuji wrote: "Chu Jiu, bath plate, iron ... are all urgent needs of the people."

The Jin people also wrote in the Biography of Han Kangbo in the Book of Jin: "The mother was a big shovel, so Kang Bo caught the iron. Kang Bo said: Ironing is in a bucket, and the two handles are still hot." Liang Jian Wendi's "Seeing my wife as a bedding with Xu Recorder" recorded that "the iron is painted with gold and the white teeth are wrapped around it" is also good; Or the one in the legend "King of Huainan" that "branding begins with a fight", and the book also notes: "Fight, iron also.

Zhou Wang saw that the iron was rotten, so he was punished by branding. " Song Gaocheng's "Things, Things, Things and Irons" also quotes Huangfu Mi's "Century of the Emperors" (another Jin Dynasty, which was probably the dynasty that paid the most attention to dressing, from complexity to nudity). "If you want to make a heavy punishment, you should first make a big iron and iron it with fire, so that you can raise your hand and laugh at da ji."

It seems that there is such a perverted thing. Although it is not used to iron clothes, it is even rarer to iron people's skin. "Today's people stretch their silks" is just Zhou Wang's "legacy." It is still precious.

Mrs. Xin Zhui of Mawangdui, whose ramie fabric was ironed with a "Han iron ... silk stretcher", can't be faked. "Sui Shu" recorded that Li Mu let his son Li Hun into Beijing, took an iron as a token to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, and said, "I would like to hold a mighty handle to iron the world."

It means that he won't betray. It is estimated that this iron also has scales. Those inaccurate scales are expressed as rulers, which can measure the meaning of the world and be regarded as a scepter. Take this thing, Gao Zu is so happy.

today, the development of iron is changing with each passing day. Modern irons basically do not use the original charcoal fire heating method, but instead use electric heating and steam heating.

It is also called electric iron and steam iron. The styles are also varied. 4. What is the history of the development of iron

The iron entered the family in the Han Dynasty in China.

The iron of the Han and Wei Dynasties was made of bronze, with a wide mouth and a long handle. Some irons are engraved with the inscription "Iron Straightening Clothes".

In the 16th century, Dutch tailors used a large hollow box-shaped bucket to put the red-hot iron plate into the iron through the back door to heat it. The most commonly used iron in the 18th century was a solid iron made of iron. People always used two irons alternately: one for ironing clothes and the other for heating on a charcoal fire.

The electric iron originated in the United States. Richardson converted electric energy into thermal energy and developed it. In 1932, an electric iron with adjustable temperature appeared.

in 1953, the spray steam electric iron came out. 5. What are the historical records of the invention of steam irons

By the mid-192s, the average annual purchase of electric irons in the United States had exceeded 3 million, and the average selling price of these irons was 6 dollars.

Therefore, in 1926, when the first steam iron appeared in major department stores in new york with a price tag of $1, people thought that this new product was not in the era when the iron weighed 15 pounds, and ironing clothes was a very exhausting housework. Detachable walnut handle and three iron heads (from top to bottom), users can put one iron head on the stove to heat the other two while using it; The heater on the stove can heat four irons at the same time; Hot iron box iron is filled with hot charcoal.

it is very important, even if the manufacturer tells people that the hot air slowly released by this iron can prevent clothes from being burnt. For people, as long as they are careful enough, they won't burn their clothes, so why spend $4 more on it?

the steam engine suffered a commercial failure at the beginning of its appearance. It was not until the 194s that a large number of dazzling synthetic fabrics appeared on the market that steam irons were generally accepted.

synthetic fabrics are not easy to get dirty and stiff, but they will melt like wax when they touch hot and dry irons. At the end of 194s, the industry competition called "jihad" broke out in the household commodity manufacturing industry.

The first batch of steam irons had only one vent. The products introduced in the 194s gradually increased the number of vent holes to 2 or 4 until 8, and the vent holes became a promotional gimmick. Westinghouse Electric Company believes that if the 8-hole iron is perfect enough, then the 16-hole iron must be more attractive.

proctor-Silex Company cautiously increased the number to 17 holes, and then Sunshine Company pushed the war to a new stage with a 36-hole steam iron. Of course, the aperture of the exhaust hole becomes smaller and smaller with the increase of the number.

Westinghouse seems to have planned to rely on 65? L the drilling technology of Aodou sets the upper limit standard for the industry. However, Sears Company, which was determined to win, then launched a 7-hole dogwood bucket, and presto Company quietly put an 8-hole iron on the market.

With the steam iron, people will never burn clothes. Even if the ironing surface doesn't drip, at least it will always be moist, and clothes will never stick.
