Abstract
A steam iron is adapted for ironing a piece of cloth with steam generated thereby. The steam iron includes a machine body unit, a sole plate unit, a water supply unit, a heating unit, and a control unit. The sole plate unit is connected to a bottom end of the machine body unit. The water supply unit is connected to the machine body unit and includes a pump that is adapted for supplying water to the sole plate unit. The heating unit is connected to the sole plate unit and heats up the sole plate unit so that the water supplied to the sole plate unit is heated to form the steam. The control unit is connected to the machine body unit, measures moving speed of the steam iron and controls water output of the pump based on the moving speed of the steam iron.
