Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a water level adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present application. The water level adjusting apparatus includes a water tank 10, a sealing assembly 20, and a steam generator 30. The water tank 10 comprises a water tank body cavity 11 and a water level adjusting cavity 13, a water filling port 12 communicated with the outside is arranged on the water tank body cavity 11, and a communicating port 14 communicated with the water level adjusting cavity 13 is arranged between the water tank body cavity 11 and the water level adjusting cavity 13. A seal assembly 20 is provided at the communication port 14 for opening or closing the communication port 14. The steam generator 30 comprises a heating water cavity 31, a water inlet channel 55 and an air pressure channel 50 which are connected are arranged between the heating water cavity 31 and the water level adjusting cavity 13, and the position where the air pressure channel 50 is connected with the heating water cavity 31 is higher than the position where the water inlet channel 55 is connected with the heating water cavity 31.
The water tank body cavity 11 is communicated with the water level adjusting cavity 13 through the communicating port 14, the sealing assembly 20 is arranged at the communicating port 14, when the communicating port 14 is opened by the sealing assembly 20, the water tank body cavity 11 is communicated with the water level adjusting cavity 13, and when the communicating port 14 is closed by the sealing assembly 20, the water tank body cavity 11 is isolated from the water level adjusting cavity 13. The steam generator 30 is connected to the water level adjusting chamber 13 through the air pressure passage 50. The communication port 14 is opened or closed by the sealing component 20, so that the water tank body cavity 11 and the water level adjusting cavity 13 can be controlled to be switched between a communication state and an isolation state, and the water tank 10 is controlled to be switched between a water supplementing working state and a water to be added working state. Wherein at least a portion of the sealing element 20 is located at the communication port 14, the communication port 14 is closed by the water level rising to a position where the sealing element 20 is engaged with the communication port 14, and the communication port 14 is opened by the water level falling below a disposal position where the sealing element 20 is engaged with the communication port 14.
When the communication port 14 is opened, the water tank body cavity 11 and the water level adjusting cavity 13 are in a communication state, the water tank 10 is in a water supplementing working state, the water level adjusting cavity 13 and the heating water cavity 31 are in a communication state with the water tank body cavity 11 through the communication port 14, water in the water tank body cavity 11 flows into the water level adjusting cavity 13 under the action of pressure, the water in the water level adjusting cavity 13 flows to the heating water cavity 31 through the water inlet channel 55 under the action of pressure, and the water levels in the water level adjusting cavity 13 and the heating water cavity 31 are all raised through water supplementing.
When the water level in the water level adjusting chamber 13 rises to the preset water level line a, specifically, the position where the sealing assembly 20 is matched with the communication port 14, the sealing assembly 20 closes the communication port 14, the water tank body chamber 11 and the water level adjusting chamber 13 are in an isolated state, the water tank 10 is in a working state to be added with water, and at this time, the water levels in the water level adjusting chamber 13 and the water heating chamber 31 both rise to the preset water level line a and reach a water level balance state. In the working process of the water level adjusting device, the water level is gradually reduced due to the steam generated in the steam generator 30, when the water level is reduced to be lower than the preset water level line A, the communication port 14 is opened again due to the fact that the position where the sealing component 20 is matched with the communication port 14 is not surrounded by water, and the water tank 10 is in a water supplementing working state again until the water in the water level adjusting cavity 13 and the water heating cavity 31 rises to the preset water level line A again to close the communication port 14. The water level is automatically adjusted by the reciprocating circulation.
In one embodiment, the tank 10 is generally rectangular in shape and includes a bottom panel, side panels extending vertically upward from the bottom panel, and a top panel opposite the bottom panel. The bottom plate, the side plates and the bottom plate surround together to form a closed space. The space in the water tank 10 is partitioned by a plurality of partition plates to form a tank body chamber 11 and a water level adjusting chamber 13. The partition plate includes a vertical partition plate and a horizontal partition plate. Wherein, the vertical separation board extends from the top board to the direction of the bottom board and has a certain distance with the side board. The horizontal partition plate is opposite to the top plate, is connected with the vertical partition plate and the side plate, and is spaced from the bottom plate by a certain distance. The vertical partition plate, the horizontal partition plate, the top plate of the water tank and the side plates surround together to form a water tank body cavity 11. The vertical partition plate, the horizontal partition plate, the bottom plate and the side plate of the water tank are enclosed together to form a water level adjusting cavity 13.
Wherein, the water level adjusting device further comprises a housing 40, and the water tank 10 and the steam generator 30 are disposed in the housing 40. The water tank 10 is built in the housing 40 and is integrally designed with the steam generator 30 through the housing 40, thereby avoiding the necessity of forming a tank fixing groove between the water tank 10 and the housing 40 to fix the water tank 10 and eliminating the need to disassemble the water tank 10 during a water adding operation. The tank body chamber 11 is provided with a filler port 12 communicating with the outside, and the tank body chamber 11 further includes a tank plug 16 for opening or closing the filler port 12. The filler 12 is provided on a ceiling of the tank 10 with a certain interval from the housing 40.

When the water tank plug 16 is pulled out to open the water tank plug 16, the sealing component 20 moves upwards to close the communication port 14 along with the pulling out of the water tank plug 16, at the moment, water can be added into the water tank body cavity 11 through the water adding port 12, meanwhile, the water tank body cavity 11 and the water level adjusting cavity 13 are in an isolation state through the sealing effect of the sealing component 20, and therefore the failure of automatic balance adjustment of the water level between the subsequent water level adjusting cavity 13 and the heating water cavity 31 due to the fact that water in the water tank body cavity 11 directly flows into the water level adjusting cavity 13 in a large amount can be avoided when water is added into the water tank body cavity 11. When the water tank plug 16 is loaded into the water filling port 12, the sealing assembly 20 moves to the initial position along with the loading of the water tank plug 16 to open the communication port 14, at this time, the water filling port 16 is closed, water in the water tank body cavity 11 can be supplemented into the water level adjusting cavity 13 through the communication port 14, and the water tank 10 is switched between a water supplementing working state and a water to be added working state through the change of whether the water level in the water level adjusting cavity 13 reaches the preset water level line A or not. The sealing component 20 and the water tank plug 16 form a linkage relationship, when water is added into the water tank 10, the water tank body cavity 11 and the water level adjusting cavity 13 are isolated from each other, so that the water level in the water level adjusting cavity 13 is not damaged by the water adding operation, and the water level adjusting cavity 13 and the water heating cavity 31 are ensured to be in a water level balance state through the air pressure channel 50 to realize automatic water level adjustment.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the sealing assembly 20 includes a sealing rod 21 and a sealing cap 25, wherein one end of the sealing rod 21 is connected to the tank plug 16, and the sealing cap 25 is disposed at the other end of the sealing rod 21 and located at the communication port 14. Wherein the sealing rod 21 is linear, and the communication port 14 and the water inlet 12 are aligned in a vertical direction of the water tank 10, so that one end of the sealing rod 21 can be connected to the tank stopper 16 and the other end of the sealing rod 21 can be located at the communication port 14. The seal cover 25 is fitted to the communication port 14 by being fitted to the other end of the seal rod 21. The size of the sealing cover 25 is equal to or slightly larger than that of the communication opening 14, and when the sealing assembly 20 moves in linkage with the opening or the installation of the tank plug 16, the sealing cover 25 is integrally accommodated in the communication opening 14 to close the communication opening 14, and the sealing cover 25 relatively protrudes out of the communication opening 14 to open the communication opening 14. In a specific embodiment, the sealing cover 25 is made of silicone, and the sealing cover 25 made of silicone can achieve a better effect of sealing the communication opening when being integrally accommodated in the communication opening 14.

Wherein, the sunken part 23 is sunken from the outer surface of the sealing rod 21 to the center of the sealing rod 21, and the sealing cover 25 is arranged at the position of the sunken part 23 to fix the position of the sealing cover 25. The stopper 22 is formed to extend outward from the outer surface of the seal rod 21 in a direction away from the center of the seal rod 21, and the elastic member 24 is located in front of the seal cover 25 and the stopper 22. The stopper 143 is located in the communication port 14, and the stopper 143 is connected to the inner surface of the communication pipe 141 such that the communication port 14 is formed in a semi-closed structure. The limiting portion 143 is provided with a through hole through which the other end of the sealing rod 21 passes. When the sealing assembly 20 is installed in the water tank 10, the other end of the sealing rod 21 penetrates through the through hole of the limiting portion 143, and the sealing cover 25 is located below the limiting portion 143, and at this time, two ends of the elastic member 24 respectively abut against between the limiting portion 143 and the stopping portion 22.
When the tank plug 16 is installed in the filler 12, the two ends of the elastic member 24 of the sealing assembly 20 respectively abut against the limiting portion 143 and the stopping portion 22, at this time, the sealing assembly 20 is limited by the tank plug 16, the elastic member 24 is in a compressed deformation state, the sealing cover 25 protrudes out of the communication port 14, so that a gap is formed between the sealing cover 25 and the communication port 14, and the communication port 14 is in an open state.
