MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113011 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 21, 2026, for Automatic Iron With Multi-Sensor Fabric Detection And Adaptive Temperature Regulation.
Inventors include Rachit Kumar; Dikshanta Kumar Bharadwaj; and Aleem Ali.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: An automatic ironing apparatus includes an iron body (1) having a heating plate (2) and heating element (3), and a fabric detection sensor arrangement (4) including an NIR sensor (4a), a capacitive or resistive sensor (4b), and a thermal conductivity sensor (4c). A microcontroller unit (5) compares optical, electrical and thermal fabric characteristics with information stored in a fabric database (6) to determine a fabric type or classification. A control circuit (7) regulates power supplied to the heating element (3) according to the determined fabric type. A temperature feedback sensor (8) continuously senses heating plate temperature for closed-loop regulation, while a safety cut-off system (9) interrupts heating under an overheating or idle condition. An optional display screen (10) presents fabric and temperature information. The apparatus provides automatic fabric-dependent heating control for household ironing.
