Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017202706A1] The invention relates to an ironing system (20) comprising a steam iron (200) and a base unit (250) adapted to cooperate with each other such that the steam iron (200) can take a first position (PI) in which the steam iron (200) is docked on the base unit (250), and a second position (P2) in which the steam iron (200) is undocked from the base unit (250). The steam iron (200) is cordlessly detached from the base unit (250) in the second position (P2). The steam iron (200) comprises a water reservoir (201) arranged to store water, and a soleplate (202) for generating steam from water in the water reservoir (201) when the steam iron (200) is in the second position (P2). The base unit (250) comprises a water delivery mechanism (251) for supplying water to the water reservoir (201) when the steam iron (200) is in the first position (PI), and a power supply unit (252) for supplying energy to the soleplate (202) when the steam iron (200) is in the first position (PI), for heating the soleplate (202). The ironing system (20) further comprises a temperature sensor (203) for sensing temperature of the soleplate (202), a controller (253) for determining, based on a variation of temperature of the soleplate, an amount of water to be supplied to the water reservoir (201) by the water delivery mechanism (251). This solution allows an improved water fill-in of the water reservoir.
