The steam generator is a steam component of the household appliance and can heat and vaporize water to form water steam. The structural improvement of the steam generator will be explained in detail as follows:
in an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 7, the steam generator 1 includes:
the steam generating box 10 is internally provided with a steam generating channel 100, the steam generating box 10 is also provided with a water inlet end 110 and a steam outlet end 120, and the steam generating channel 100 is communicated with the water inlet end 110 and the steam outlet end 120; and
and a speed increasing member 20 provided on an inner wall of the steam generation passage 100 to increase a flow velocity of the fluid passing through the speed increasing member 20.
Specifically, for the steam generating box 10, the water inlet end 110 is provided with a water inlet 111 communicated with the steam generating channel 100, the steam outlet end 120 is provided with a steam outlet 121, and the steam generating box 10 is provided with the heating member 30. External water can enter the steam generation channel 100 from the water inlet 111, and the heating element 30 heats the water in the steam generation channel 100, so that the water is heated and vaporized to generate steam, and the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 121. Wherein, the heating element 30 is generally installed in the wall of the steam generating box 10, and after the heating element 30 is electrically heated, the temperature of the wall of the steam generating box 10 can be raised, so as to heat and vaporize the water in the steam generating channel 100, and the heating element 30 can be preferably a U-shaped heating tube, so as to increase the heating area and improve the heating effect; the metal material has the advantages of heat resistance, fire resistance and good heat conductivity, and the steam generating box 10 is preferably made of the metal material, and the aluminum material has low price and is easy to process and form, and further the steam generating box 10 is preferably made of the aluminum material.
When the heating element 30 heats the water in the steam generating channel 100, the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 includes water and water vapor; after the steam generator 1 is operated for a period of time, solid particles are gradually generated in the water due to the factor of water quality in the heating and vaporizing process, and then the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 is a mixture of water, steam and fixed particles.
The fixed particles accumulate in the steam generating channel 100 over time to form scale, which, on the one hand, affects the fluid flow and, on the other hand, also causes a reduction in the efficiency of the water heating by the inner walls of the steam generating channel 100. In order to avoid the formation of large scale on the inner wall of the steam generation channel 100, the present embodiment improves the internal flow channel structure of the steam generation channel 100, so that the scale is accumulated at a suitable position in the steam generation channel 100, the formation of large scale in the steam generation channel 100 is avoided, and the heating efficiency of the inner wall of the steam generation channel 100 on water is ensured.
In the present embodiment, by providing the speed increasing member 20 on the inner wall of the steam generating channel 100, the flow velocity of the fluid passing through the speed increasing member 20 is increased, so that the formation of scale on the inner wall near the speed increasing member 20 is avoided, and the heating effect at the position of the speed increasing member 20 is ensured. Therefore, the position of scale accumulation can be controlled conveniently, so that the influence of the scale on the steam generator 1 is reduced, the risk probability of using failure of the steam generator 1 is reduced, and the service life of the steam generator 1 is prolonged.
It is understood that the speed increasing member 20 may be integrally formed with the inner wall of the steam generating channel 100, or the speed increasing member 20 may be fixed in the steam generating channel 100, and is not limited thereto. In order to reduce the resistance to the flow of water in the steam generating channel 100, the surface of the speed increasing member 20 is preferably smooth so that the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 can smoothly pass through the speed increasing member 20.
For the steam generating box 10, it may be of an integrally formed structure or a split structure. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the steam generating box 10, the steam generating box 10 preferably adopts a split structure, wherein: the steam generating box 10 comprises a box body 130 and a box cover 140, wherein the box body 130 is provided with a box cavity 132 and an opening 131 arranged at the upper side of the box body 130, the opening 131 is communicated with the box cavity 132, and the water inlet end 110 and the steam outlet end 120 are respectively formed at the two opposite ends of the box body 130; a box cover 140 which is provided at the open port 131 to allow the box cavity 132 to form the steam generation path 100.

The heating member 30 is preferably provided in the bottom wall of the case 130 to facilitate heating of the water in the steam generating channel 100.
Further, the speed increasing member 20 includes a speed increasing protrusion 210 protruding from an inner wall of the steam generating channel 100. The speed increasing protrusion 210 is disposed on the inner cavity wall of the box cavity 132 of the box body 130, so that the installation process of the speed increasing member 20 and the box body 130 can be reduced, and the structure of the box body 130 is more compact.
The protrusion height of the speed increasing protrusion 210 is increased and then decreased along the extending direction of the steam generating channel 100. In this way, for the steam generating channel 100, since the height of the protrusion of the speed increasing protrusion 210 changes, the internal space of the evaporation channel gradually decreases and gradually increases, so that the flow velocity of the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 is suddenly increased when the fluid passes through the speed increasing protrusion 210, thereby preventing the solid particles in the fluid from depositing on the inner cavity wall near the speed increasing protrusion 210 to form scale. It will be appreciated that the speed increasing protrusions 210 have various shapes, such as a semicircular shape, a triangular shape, a parabolic shape, a horseshoe shape, or an arc shape in the extending direction of the steam generating channel 100 at the speed increasing protrusions 210.
In order to reduce the resistance of the speed increasing protrusion 210 to the fluid in the steam generating channel 100, the speed increasing protrusion 210 is disposed in a convex arc shape along the extending direction of the steam generating channel 100. It will be appreciated that the surface of the speed increasing protrusion 210 facing away from the inner cavity wall of the cartridge cavity 132 is curved to facilitate the flow of the fluid, and the intersection of the curved surface and the inner cavity wall of the cartridge cavity 132 is preferably rounded to facilitate the flow of the fluid along the inner cavity wall of the cartridge cavity 132.
Further, the speed increasing protrusion 210 may be provided in plurality along the extending direction of the steam generation channel 100. Through setting up a plurality of acceleration rate arch 210, in steam generation passageway 100, carry out acceleration rate many times to the fluid to make the fluid produce the fluctuation effect at the flow in-process, avoid forming stratosphere, stationary flow layer in the fluid, in order to further prevent that fixed particulate matter from carrying out the deposit near acceleration rate arch 210.
For the plurality of speed increasing protrusions 210, two adjacent speed increasing protrusions 210 are arranged at intervals; or the surfaces of two adjacent speed-increasing protrusions 210 are connected in sequence, and at this time, the plurality of speed-increasing protrusions 210 are continuously arranged.
In this embodiment, the steam generating channel 100 has a bottom wall and a first side wall and a second side wall connected to the bottom wall, the first side wall and the second side wall being oppositely disposed; at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall and the bottom wall is provided with the speed increasing protrusion 210. It is understood that the inner wall side of the box cavity 132 of the box body 130 includes a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall disposed along the length direction thereof, wherein the bottom wall is disposed corresponding to the opening 131 of the box body 130. The speed increasing protrusion 210 may be located on the first side wall, and the speed increasing protrusion 210 may be provided in plurality on the first side wall; alternatively, the speed increasing protrusions 210 may be located on the second side wall, and the speed increasing protrusions 210 may be provided in plurality on the second side wall; or the speed increasing protrusion 210 may be located on the bottom wall, and the speed increasing protrusion 210 may be provided in plurality on the bottom wall. Of course, in some preferred embodiments, the speed increasing protrusions 210 are disposed on both the first side wall and the second side wall, and the speed increasing protrusions 210 on the first side wall and the speed increasing protrusions 210 on the second side wall are disposed correspondingly, so that the speed increasing effect on the fluid is better; the first side wall, the second side wall and the bottom wall can also be simultaneously provided with the speed-increasing protrusions 210, and the respective speed-increasing protrusions 210 on the first side wall, the second side wall and the bottom wall are preferably correspondingly arranged, so that the speed-increasing effect on the fluid is better.
In some other embodiments, referring to fig. 5 in combination with fig. 2, in the case where the speed increasing protrusions 210 are provided on the first side wall and/or the second side wall, the bottom wall is provided with the grooves 101 provided along the extending direction of the steam generating channel 100. The purpose of the grooves 101 is to increase the flow space at the bottom of the steam generating channel 100, so that the fluid can flow through the bottom of the steam generating channel 100 more easily, and the probability of the fixed particles in the fluid depositing on the bottom wall is reduced. In addition, because the recess 101 is arranged on the bottom wall, when fluid flows through the recess 101, the fluid swirls to form a certain vortex, so that the deposition of fixed particles on the bottom wall can be further reduced, the probability of producing scale on the bottom wall can be reduced, the heating effect of the bottom wall on water can be improved, and the potential safety hazard caused by overhigh temperature at the bottom wall can be reduced.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, the steam generator 1 further includes a heating element 30 disposed at the bottom of the steam generating channel 100, a temperature detecting element 40 is disposed at a lower side of the box body 130 of the steam generating box 10, and the temperature detecting element 40 is disposed corresponding to the speed increasing element 20 to detect the temperature of the position of the speed increasing element 20 in the steam generating channel 100. This Temperature detection element 40 can be thermistor (NTC), thermocouple or infrared Temperature sensor etc. and Temperature detection element 40 is connected with heating member 30 through controlling means to when the Temperature is too high, stop heating member 30 and generate heat work, with effectively preventing steam generator 1 high Temperature trouble or produce the overtemperature risk.
It should be emphasized that the temperature detecting element 40 is disposed corresponding to the speed increasing member 20, and at the position of the speed increasing member 20, scale is not easily formed, so that the heating effect at the position of the speed increasing member 20 is also better, and the local temperature of the steam generating box 10 detected by the temperature detecting element 40 is closest to the actual temperature in the steam generating channel 100, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the heating member 30.
Further, the temperature detecting elements 40 are provided in plural, the plural temperature detecting elements 40 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the steam generating channel 100, and at least one of the plural temperature detecting elements 40 is provided corresponding to the speed increasing member 20. At this moment, can carry out temperature detection to the many places position of box body 130, when local high temperature, can in time carry out the outage to heating member 30, form multiple control by temperature change protection.
For example, in one embodiment, the bottom wall of the case 130 is sequentially provided with a first thermistor 420, a temperature controller 410 and a second thermistor 430 along the length direction thereof, the first thermistor 420 and the second thermistor 430 are connected to the heating member 30 through a control device, the temperature controller 410 is directly connected to the heating member 30, and the temperature controller 410 is disposed corresponding to the speed increasing member 20. When the first thermistor 420 or the second thermistor 430 reaches the overheating threshold, the power supply of the heating member 30 may be cut off, so that the heating member 30 stops operating, preventing the overheating risk of the steam generator 1; when the thermostat 410 is overheated, the thermostat 410 may directly control the heating element 30 to stop heating, thereby preventing the steam generator 1 from being overheated. In this way, the first thermistor 420, the temperature controller 410 and the second thermistor 430 form triple temperature protection, thereby effectively ensuring the working safety of the steam generator 1.
Above scheme is through setting up acceleration member 20, improves the fluid velocity of flow in the steam generation passageway 100 to do benefit to the formation position of the incrustation scale in the control steam generation passageway 100, in order to reach the purpose that reduces the influence of incrustation scale to steam generator 1. Several other solutions for modifying the interior of the steam generating channel 100 are described below.
The first scheme is as follows: in this scheme, mainly adopt to set up baffle 50 in steam generation passageway 100 to realize the improvement of the inside of steam generation passageway 100, its specific scheme is as follows:

Wherein, the heating element 30 is generally installed in the wall of the steam generating box 10, and after the heating element 30 is electrically heated, the temperature of the wall of the steam generating box 10 can be raised, so as to heat and vaporize the water in the steam generating channel 100, and the heating element 30 can be preferably a U-shaped heating tube, so as to increase the heating area and improve the heating effect; the metal material has the advantages of heat resistance, fire resistance and good heat conductivity, and the steam generating box 10 is preferably made of the metal material, and the aluminum material has low price and is easy to process and form, and further the steam generating box 10 is preferably made of the aluminum material.
When the heating element 30 heats the water in the steam generating channel 100, the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 includes water and water vapor; after the steam generator 1 is operated for a period of time, solid particles are gradually generated in the water due to the factor of water quality in the heating and vaporizing process, and then the fluid in the steam generating channel 100 is a mixture of water, steam and fixed particles.
The fixed particles accumulate in the steam generating channel 100 over time to form scale, which, on the one hand, affects the fluid flow and, on the other hand, also causes a reduction in the efficiency of the water heating by the inner walls of the steam generating channel 100. In order to avoid the formation of large scale on the inner wall of the steam generation channel 100, the present embodiment improves the internal flow channel structure of the steam generation channel 100, so that the scale is accumulated at a suitable position in the steam generation channel 100, the formation of large scale in the steam generation channel 100 is avoided, and the heating efficiency of the inner wall of the steam generation channel 100 on water is ensured.

In addition, due to the existence of the rear baffle 520, the backflow of the fluid in the scale containing cavity 104 towards the water inlet end 110 can be avoided, so that the backflow and accumulation of the scale towards the water inlet end 110 can be prevented, and the scale containing effect of the scale containing cavity 104 on the scale can be ensured.
The top of the rear baffle 520 is provided with a rear flow trough 521 penetrating in the thickness direction, so that the fluid can flow into the dirt holding cavity 104 through the rear flow trough. The rear overflow trough 521 includes a third overflow trough 522, and the third overflow trough 522 is disposed at the junction of the rear baffle 520 and the side wall of the steam generation channel 100.
