The invention provides a steam device. The steam device can be applied to steam type household appliances for preparing steam. The steam type household appliance can be any one of products such as a garment steamer, a steam wall breaking machine, a steam oven, a steam mop and the like. And in particular will be described hereinafter.
Referring to fig. 1-3, in one embodiment of the steam device 10 of the present invention, the steam device includes a steam generating chamber 200, a scale storage chamber 300, and a heater 400. Wherein the steam generation bin 200 is used for preparing steam; the inlet of the scale storage bin 300 is communicated with the outlet of the steam generation bin 200, and the scale storage bin 300 is provided with a steam outlet 301 for steam to pass through and scale to be stored; the heater 400 is used for heating the steam generation bin 200; and the heater 400 is also multiplexed to heat the scale storage bin 300.
Specifically, the heater 400 may be used to heat the steam generation cartridge 200 to evaporate water in the steam generation cartridge 200 to prepare steam; the heater 400 is also multiplexed to the heating scale storage bin 300 to evaporate the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 to precipitate the scale, so that the precipitated scale is stored in the scale storage bin 300. That is, the steam generating bin 200 shares the heater 400 with the scale storage bin 300. In this way, the structure of the steam device 10 can be simplified, and the steam flow can be controlled more easily when the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is evaporated and concentrated, so that the steam device 10 has the same steam flow when the scale storage bin 300 is evaporated and concentrated and the steam device 10 is used normally, and the steam device 10 can be used normally without waiting when the scale of the steam device 10 is removed.
When the steaming device 10 is normally used for preparing steam, water is supplied to the steam generating bin 200 through the water inlet of the steaming device 10, the steam generating bin 200 is heated by the heater 400, so that the water in the steam generating bin 200 is evaporated to form steam, and the steam generated by the steam generating bin 200 passes through the scale storage bin 300 and is transmitted to the steam outlet 301 of the steaming device 10, and is discharged from the steam outlet 301, so that the steaming device 10 is realized for preparing steam.
When the steam device 10 finishes preparing steam, the steam device 10 stops generating steam, at this time, the scale formed in the steam generation bin 200 is usually in a loose aragonite state, and the scale in the state is soft and is removed well, based on the state, the steam generation bin 200 can be timely supplied with water through the water inlet of the steam device 10 so as to flush the steam generation bin 200, the scale washing water generated by flushing is discharged into the scale storage bin 300, then the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is heated by the heater 400, so that the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is evaporated and concentrated to separate the scale in the scale storage bin 300, and scale removal of the steam generation bin 200 is realized. Thus, the formation of calcite scale with hard texture and difficult removal in the steam generation bin 200 can be effectively avoided; and also does not require the user to manually pour the scale washing water from the scale storage bin 300.
According to the technical scheme, the scale storage bin 300 is configured for the steam device 10, the inlet of the scale storage bin 300 is communicated with the outlet of the steam generation bin 200 of the steam device 10, and the scale storage bin 300 is provided with the steam outlet 301, so that when the steam device 10 is used for preparing steam, the steam generated by the steam generation bin 300 can pass through the scale storage bin 300 and is discharged through the steam outlet 301, after the preparation of the steam is finished, scale in the steam generation bin 200 is washed in time, scale washing water generated by washing the steam generation bin 200 is discharged into the scale storage bin 300, then the scale storage bin 300 is heated by the heater 400, and further the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is evaporated and concentrated to separate the scale into the scale storage bin 300, so that the scale is removed from the steam generation bin 200. Compared with the scheme of configuring the waste water box for the steam device 10, the invention is provided with the scale storage bin 300 and utilizes the heater 400 of the steam generation bin 200 to heat the scale storage bin 300, thereby realizing intelligent scale removal and reducing manual scale removal operation.
The steam device 10 adopts a mode of 'pollution-while-treatment', namely, after each time the steam device 10 is used, the steam generation bin 200 is washed in time, high-concentration water remained in the steam generation bin 200 and scale formed initially are washed away, and the scale at the moment is in a loose aragonite state, so that hard calcite scale is prevented from being formed. For the treatment of the flushing wastewater, the scheme of designing the scale storage bin 300 is adopted, the flushing is carried out after the last heating is finished, the flushing wastewater is temporarily stored in the scale storage bin 300, the scale storage bin 300 can be directly heated at the moment to evaporate scale from the scale washing water, or the scale storage bin 300 is heated simultaneously when the heater 400 heats the steam generation bin 200 after the next heating is started, so that the evaporation concentration is realized, the water is evaporated into a gaseous state, and finally impurities such as the scale and the like are remained in the scale storage bin 300. This scheme avoids setting up extra waste water box.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, the scale storage bin 300, the steam generating bin 200 and the heater 400 are coupled to form a steam scale removal module. That is, the steam generating bin 200, the scale storage bin 300, and the heater 400 are integrated into one steam descaling module, so that the number of parts of the steam device 10 can be reduced, and the assembling process can be reduced. As for the coupling means, for example, but not limited to, the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 are welded or adhered to the heater 400; or the steam generating bin 200 is integrally formed with the scale storage bin 300, and the heater 400 is welded or adhered to one of the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, as for the arrangement position of the heater 400, alternatively, the heater 400 may be arranged at the bottom, side or top of the scale storage bin 300 or the steam generation bin 200. In one embodiment, the heater 400, the steam generating bin 200, and the scale storage bin 300 are stacked. Specifically, the heater 400 is disposed between the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300, that is, the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 are respectively disposed at opposite sides of the heater 400, so that the heater 400 can be in contact with the top surface of the steam generating bin 200 and the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300, heating efficiency is improved, and welding materials connecting the heater 400 and the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 can conduct heat, thereby contributing to improving the heating efficiency of the heater 400. Of course, in other embodiments, a heat conductive adhesive may be used to adhere the steam generating compartment 200 and the scale storage compartment 300 to the heater 400.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, in an embodiment, the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 may be located at the same side of the heater 400. For example, in the present embodiment, the heater 400, the steam generating chamber 200 and the scale storage chamber 300 are sequentially stacked, so that it is more advantageous for the heater 400 to directly heat the steam generating chamber 200 and for the steam device 10 to be used normally. Of course, in other embodiments, the heater 400, the scale storage bin 300, and the steam generation bin 200 may be stacked in this order; alternatively, the scale storage bin 300 and the steam generation bin 200 may be arranged on the same side of the heater 400, that is, the scale storage bin 300 and the steam generation bin 200 are arranged on the same side of the heater 400.
In one embodiment, the steam generating cartridge 200 includes steam generating tubes that extend in a serpentine fashion. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the steam generating pipe has an S-shape. Thus, the steam generation bin 200 can have a longer steam flow path, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of converting water into steam, and the heat exchange area can be increased. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the steam generating cartridge 200 may also include a steam generating box.
In one embodiment, the heater 400 comprises heating pipes which are in fit contact with the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300, and the heating pipes are arranged in a zigzag winding manner. For example, the heating pipes can be fixed on the bottom surface, the side surface or the top surface of the scale storage bin 300 and/or the steam generation bin 200, and only the heating pipes can be in fit contact with the scale storage bin 300 and/or the steam generation bin 200, so that the heating function of the scale storage bin 300 and the steam generation bin 200 is realized. By the design, the length of the heating pipe can be effectively prolonged, the heat exchange area of the heating pipe, the scale storage bin 300 and the steam generation bin 200 can be further increased, and the heating efficiency of the heater 400 can be further improved. Of course, in other embodiments, heater 400 may also include a heating block.
Further, the heating tube includes a first heating section 410, a second heating section 420, and an intermediate heating section 430; the first heating section 410 extends along the length of the steam descaling module; the second heating section 420 extends in the width direction of the steam descaling module; the intermediate heating section 430 connects the first heating section 410 and the second heating section 420, and the intermediate heating section 430 is coiled in a zigzag shape.
Specifically, the first heating section 410 and the second heating section 420 of the heating pipe are generally arranged in a straight pipe shape, and the ends of the first heating section 410 and the second heating section 420 connected to the intermediate heating section 430 are arranged in an arc-shaped curve. Taking the connection and fixation of the heating pipe and the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300 as an example, the first heating section 410 of the heating pipe extends along the long side of the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300, the second heating section 420 of the heating pipe extends along the short side of the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300, and the middle heating section 430 of the heating pipe is coiled on the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300 in a bending shape. Likewise, in other embodiments, the shape and arrangement of the heating pipes on other surfaces of the scale storage bin 300 or the surface of the steam generating bin 200 may be designed according to the arrangement of the heating pipes and the bottom surface of the scale storage bin 300.
As for the shape of the coil of the intermediate heating section 430, there may be various shape designs. For example, but not limited to, the coiled shape of the intermediate heating section 430 may be S-shaped, U-shaped, W-shaped, V-shaped, or the like. In particular, in the present embodiment, the intermediate heating section 430 includes a first coil section 431 and a second coil section 432; wherein the first coil section 431 is connected to the second heating section 420 and is opposite to the first heating section 410; the second coil section 432 connects the first coil section 431 and the first heating section 410, and the second coil section 432 is disposed in an S-shape. Therefore, the length of the heating pipe can be greatly increased, the heat exchange area of the heating pipe is increased, the fluid resistance of the bending position of the heating pipe is small, the passage of heating fluid is facilitated, and the heating efficiency is greatly improved.
In this embodiment, the scale storage bin 300 may be configured as a scale storage cartridge. Thus, the scale storage bin 300 has a relatively short steam flow path and a relatively large volume, so that the scale storage bin is beneficial to storing more scale washing water. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the scale storage bin 300 may also include a scale storage tube having a relatively large tube diameter. The steam generating tube of the steam generating bin 200 is an aluminum tube, the scale storage box of the scale storage bin 300 is an aluminum box, and the heating tube of the heater 400 is a copper tube.
In the present embodiment, the capacity of the scale storage bin 300 is equal to or greater than the capacity of the steam generation bin 200. In this way, on the premise of ensuring that the washing water does not overflow from the scale storage bin 300, the steam generation bin 200 can be washed for a plurality of times, and the scale washing water generated by the steam generation bin 200 can be stored in the scale storage bin 300 for a plurality of times, so that the scale in the steam generation bin 200 can be removed well. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the capacity of the scale storage bin 300 is 1-10 times the capacity of the steam generation bin 200. Thus, the volume of the steam generating chamber 200 and the volume of the steam device 10 can be simultaneously achieved, and the steam device 10 can be prevented from having an excessively large volume due to the use of the scale storage chamber 300 with an excessively large volume. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the volume of the scale storage bin 300 may be less than the volume of the steam generating bin 200 when a small amount of water is sufficient for a flushing effect, such as when the steam device 10 described above further includes a bubbler 630 described below.
In the present embodiment, the length of the steam flow path of the steam generating bin 200 is greater than that of the scale storage bin 300 on the steam flow path. In this manner, the water is facilitated to quickly become steam within the steam generating cartridge 200. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the length of the steam flow path of the steam generating bin 200 is 2-10 times the length of the steam flow path of the scale storage bin 300. In this way, the gasification speed of water in the steam generation bin 200 and the resistance of steam flow can be combined, so that the overlarge resistance of steam flow caused by overlarge length of the steam flow path of the steam generation bin 200 is avoided, and the steam is not easy to discharge.
In one embodiment, the steaming device 10 further comprises a bendable connecting tube 500, the connecting tube 500 communicating an outlet of the connecting steam generating bin 200 with an inlet of the scale storage bin 300. In this way, it is very convenient to connect the steam generating compartment 200 with the scale storage compartment 300.
In the present embodiment, the steam device 10 further includes a water supply assembly 600, and the water supply assembly 600 includes a water tank 610 and a water pump 620 (as shown in fig. 9), the water tank 610 being communicated with the water inlet of the steam generation cartridge 200 through the water pump 620. The water supply flow rate of the water pump 620 is adjustable, thereby facilitating the effective removal of scale in the steam generation bin 200 by controlling the water supply rate. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the water supply flow rate of the water pump 620 is 20ml/min to 200ml/min. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the steaming device 10 may not include a water tank, and the steaming device 10 may be supplied with water via an external water tank.
Further, the water supply assembly 600 further includes a bubbler 630, and the bubbler 630 is connected to a line between the water pump 620 and the inlet of the steam generation cartridge 200. In this way, the water supplied from the water pump 620 to the steam generating chamber 200 may generate a large amount of bubbles through the bubbler 630, then the water with the large amount of bubbles is taken into the steam generating chamber 200, the water with the large amount of bubbles is heated to be easily boiled and evaporated, and finally the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 301 of the steam device 10 after passing through the scale storage chamber 300.
In the steam generation process, a large number of bubbles are generated by the bubbler 630, and the water wrapped with the bubbles enters the steam generation bin 200 and is easily broken when heated, so that boiling is accelerated, and the efficiency of converting the water into steam can be improved. The flow boiling is most efficient near the heating wall surface, so that the boundary layer near the lifting wall surface needs to be disturbed, the disturbance of the boundary layer is quickened after the gas-liquid mixture is introduced, the liquid film is quickened, and the boiling is promoted.
In the flushing process, a large number of bubbles are generated by the water passing through the bubbler 630, and the bubbles are flushed to the inner wall of the steam generation bin 200 to be broken, so that the bubbles break to impact the scale deposited on the inner wall of the steam generation bin 200 to cause the scale to fall off; on the other hand, the rinsed water can dissolve the scale of high concentration in the steam generation cartridge 200, thereby avoiding the accumulation of scale in the steam generation cartridge 200.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, the present invention also provides a control method of a steam device including a steam generation bin 200 for preparing steam, a scale storage bin 300 in communication with the steam generation bin, a heater 400 for the steam generation bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300, and a water supply assembly 600 that can supply water to the steam generation bin. The control method is that the steam generation bin 200 is washed firstly, and then the scale washing water is discharged into the scale storage bin 300 for drying, so that the scale is separated out and stored into the scale storage bin 300, and the scale removal is realized.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in an embodiment, the present invention further provides a control method of a steam device, where the control method includes the following steps:
s10, controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generation bin 200 to flush the steam generation bin 200, and discharging scale washing water generated by flushing into the scale storage bin 300;
s11, the water supply assembly 600 stops supplying water to the steam generation bin 200;
and S12, controlling the heater 400 to heat the scale storage bin 300 so as to evaporate the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 to separate out scale.
Specifically, when the steaming device 10 starts to remove the scale, a rinsing process and a drying process are included; wherein, step S10 is a rinsing process, and steps S11-S12 are evaporating processes. In step S10, the steam device may control the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generating chamber 200 to flush the steam generating chamber 200 after receiving a descaling instruction, where the descaling instruction may be an instruction input through a key, or an instruction sent through a remote controller or a mobile terminal through a network. Of course, the steam device can also automatically control the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generation bin 200 to flush the steam generation bin 200 after the steam preparation is finished, so that the automatic descaling is realized immediately after each steam preparation, and the scale deposition is effectively reduced. The scale washing water generated by the washing may be discharged into the scale storage bin 300 by the high-speed water flow of the water supply unit 600, or may be automatically discharged from the steam generation bin 200 into the scale storage bin 300 by the gravity of the scale washing water, without limitation.
After the rinsing process is finished, a drying process can be performed, at this time, the water supply assembly 600 can be controlled to stop supplying water, and the heater 400 is controlled to heat the scale storage bin 300, so that the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is evaporated and concentrated, scale can be separated out from the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300, and the separated scale is stored in the scale storage bin 300, so that the scale removal of the steam generation bin 200 is realized.
By adopting the method and using the steam device, the scale formed in the steam generation bin 200 can be effectively removed, and hard calcite scale which is difficult to remove is prevented from being formed by deposition of the scale in the steam generation bin 200. In addition, the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 can be treated by using the steam device by adopting the method without the step of pouring the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300. Compared with the scheme of arranging the waste water box, the scale storage bin 300 and the heater 400 for simultaneously heating the steam generation bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 are arranged, so that the intelligent realization is more facilitated.
Referring to fig. 9 to 11, in one embodiment, the steam device 10 may perform descaling after normal steam preparation is completed. Optionally, before the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generating compartment 200 to flush the steam generating compartment 200, the control method further includes:
S20, controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water required for preparing steam to the steam generation bin 200;
S21, controlling the heater 400 to heat the steam generating chamber 200 to prepare steam:
After the steam generating device is finished to generate steam, the heater 400 is controlled to stop heating (i.e., step S22), and the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generating compartment 200 to flush the steam generating compartment 200 is performed.
Specifically, after the steam generation of the steam device is completed, the steam device stops generating steam, and at this time, the scale formed in the steam generation bin 200 is usually in a loose aragonite state, and the scale in the state is soft and is removed well. Based on this, after the steam generating bin 200 is used to prepare steam, the steps S10 to S12 are performed to remove scale, so that soft scale remained in the steam generating bin 200 after the steam is prepared can be removed in time, and thus, the formation of calcite scale with hard texture and difficult removal in the steam generating bin 200 can be effectively avoided. Of course, in other embodiments, the steam device may first remove the scale and then prepare the steam.
In other embodiments, considering that the heating of the scale storage bin 300 also generates steam during the scale storage process, in order to prevent the generated steam from being wasted, the step S12 is not immediately performed after the step S11, but steps S12 and S21 are performed simultaneously until the next steam generation of the steam device is started, that is, the heater 400 heats the steam generation bin 200 while also heating the scale storage bin 300, so that the steam generated during the removal of the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 can be not wasted and can be normally utilized.
Referring to fig. 9 and 11, in an embodiment, before the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water required for preparing steam to the steam generation bin 200, the control method further includes the steps of:
s30, controlling the heater 400 to preheat the steam generating bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300.
That is, in the process of preparing steam by the steam device, the steam generation bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 are preheated before the water is supplied to the steam generation bin 200, so that the temperatures of the steam generation bin 200 and the scale storage bin 300 are higher, when the water supply assembly 600 is controlled to supply water to the steam generation bin 200, water entering the steam generation bin 200 can be quickly changed into steam, the steam flow can be ensured to quickly reach the preset steam flow once the steam is generated, the steam flow is more stable, the condition that the steam flow is small just after the beginning of the steam flow is difficult to occur, and the steam flow is increased to the preset steam flow after a period of time is ensured. It will be appreciated that the above step S30 may be omitted when the steam flow stabilization requirement is low. As for the preheating time for the heater 400 to preheat the steam generating compartment 200 and the scale storage compartment 300, it may be set according to the user's need, for example, the preheating time is 30s, 40s, 60s, etc.
It can be understood that after the descaling of the steam device is finished, if the next steam preparation is needed, directly executing S20-S22 after the step S12 is finished; or after step S10 is performed, step S30 is performed first, and then steps S20 to S22 are performed.
In an embodiment, in the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water required for preparing steam to the steam generation cartridge 200, the water supply flow rate of the water supply assembly 600 is a first water flow rate; in the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generating compartment 200 to flush the steam generating compartment 200, the water supply flow rate of the water supply assembly 600 is a second water flow rate, which is greater than the first water flow rate.
Specifically, the second water flow rate of the water supply assembly 600 for supplying water to the steam generation bin 200 when the steam device is descaling is greater than the first water flow rate of the water supply assembly 600 for supplying water to the steam generation bin 200 when the steam device is used for preparing steam, so that the water pump 620 can provide a larger flow rate to flush scale in the steam generation bin 200, which is beneficial to flushing more refractory scale into the scale storage bin 300, and the descaling efficiency is improved.
Further, in the step of controlling the heater 400 to heat the steam generation bin 200 to prepare steam, the heating power of the heater 400 is the first power P 1; in the step of controlling the heater 400 to heat the scale storage bin 300 to evaporate the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 to deposit scale, the heating power of the heater 400 is a second power P 2, and the second power P 2 is kept consistent with the first power P 1 (i.e., P 2＝P1).
Specifically, when the steam device normally prepares steam, the power of the heater 400 for heating the steam generating chamber 200 corresponds to the first power P 1, and the steam flow rate generated by the steam generating chamber 200 is the first steam flow rate. When the steam device is used for descaling, the power of the heater 400 for heating the scale storage bin 300 is the second power P 2, and the second power P 2 is consistent with the first power P 1, so that the steam flow when the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is removed is ensured to be the same as the steam flow when the steam is normally generated, and the steam device is continuously in the state of normally generating the steam. Of course, in other embodiments, the second power P 2 may be greater than the first power P 1 to accelerate the evaporation and concentration rate of the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300, so as to shorten the scale removal time.
Optionally, in the step of controlling the heater 400 to heat the scale storage bin 300 to evaporate the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 to precipitate the scale, the heating time of the heater 400 is not less than Chu Goucang a, which is the quotient of the amount of the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 and the steam flow rate when the steam generating bin 200 is preparing the steam.
Specifically, when the steam device performs descaling, the heating time T for the heater 400 to heat the scale storage bin 300 is greater than or equal to the quotient of the water volume V of the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 and the first steam flow L (i.e., t=v/L). In this way, it is ensured that the scale washing water in the scale storage bin 300 is entirely changed into steam. For example, but not limited to, when the steam device is being descaled, the first water flow rate of the water pump 620 is 30ml/min, the heating power of the heater 400 is 1500W, the first steam flow rate is 30g/min, and T is preferably greater than or equal to V/30g/min.
Alternatively, when the steam device performs the descaling, the water supply assembly 600 supplies water to the steam generating compartment 200 at the second water flow rate by an amount of 1 to 10 times the volume of the steam generating compartment 200 in step S10. In this way, it is ensured that scale formed in the steam generation bin 200 is substantially removed.
In one embodiment, the water supply assembly 600 includes a water tank 610 and a water pump 620 that communicates the water tank 610 with the steam generation cartridge 200, and a bubbler 630 is connected to a pipe between the water pump 620 and the steam generation cartridge 200. Optionally, in the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water to the steam generating compartment 200 to flush the steam generating compartment 200; or in the step of controlling the water supply assembly 600 to supply water required for preparing steam to the steam generation cartridge 200, the control method further includes:
the bubbler 630 is controlled to operate to bubble the water supplied from the water supply assembly 600 to the steam generation cartridge 200.
Specifically, in the process of preparing steam by the steam device, a large amount of bubbles are generated by the water conveyed by the water pump 620 through the bubbler 630, and when the water mixed with the large amount of bubbles is heated in the steam generation bin 200, boiling is accelerated, so that the efficiency of converting the water into steam can be improved. The flow boiling is most efficient near the heating wall surface, so that the boundary layer near the lifting wall surface needs to be disturbed, the disturbance of the boundary layer is quickened after the gas-liquid mixture is introduced, the liquid film is quickened, and the boiling is promoted.
In the process of descaling by the steam device, a large number of bubbles are generated by the water conveyed by the water pump 620 through the bubbler 630, and when the water mixed with the large number of bubbles washes the inner wall surface of the steam generation bin 200, the bubbles are broken to impact the scale deposited on the inner wall of the steam generation bin 200, so that the scale is dropped; on the other hand, the rinsed water can dissolve the scale of high concentration in the steam generation cartridge 200, thereby avoiding the accumulation of scale in the steam generation cartridge 200.
