Since the space in the first chamber 140 is constant and contains a small amount of medium, that is, the volume or volume of the medium in the first chamber 140 is small, the heating element 120 acts on the small amount of medium in the first chamber 140 to rapidly generate high-temperature steam, and the steam is discharged to a designated area through the exhaust port 190 on the guide cylinder 180.

On the other hand, as shown in fig. 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8, the separator 130 includes a guide cylinder 180, a partition plate 200 and a partition 210, at least a portion of the partition 210 is located inside the guide cylinder 180, the partition plate 200 and the partition 210 are disposed in the machine body and above the heating element 120, an inner surface of the partition plate 200, the partition 210, the machine body 110 and/or the heating element 120 enclose the first chamber 140, a gap 220 is formed between the partition 210 and the guide cylinder 180, the gap 220 is communicated with the exhaust port 190 of the guide cylinder 180, at least a portion of the guide cylinder 180 is disposed outside the machine body, an outer surface of the separator 130 and the machine body enclose the second chamber 150, and the partition plate 200 is provided with a medium passage 310 communicating the first chamber 140 and the second chamber 150, so that a medium contained in the second chamber 150 flows into the first chamber 140 through the medium passage 310. Since the space in the first chamber 140 is constant and a relatively small amount of the medium is contained, that is, the volume or volume of the medium in the first chamber 140 is small, the heating element 120 acts on the small amount of the medium in the first chamber 140 to rapidly generate high-temperature steam, and the steam is discharged to a designated area through the gap 220 between the guide cylinder 180 and the partition 210 through the exhaust port 190.

Further, in the separator 130 according to the above two aspects, the first chamber 140 and the second chamber 150 are communicated with each other through the medium passage 310 (e.g., a water inlet tank), so that in the process that the medium in the first chamber 140 is reduced due to the generation of steam, the medium in the second chamber 150 gradually enters the first chamber 140 for replenishment, the water inlet resistance is reduced, the problem that the heating element 120 is damaged due to dry burning caused by a small amount of the medium in the first chamber 140 can be avoided, and the reliability of the product is further improved.

Further, connect heating member 120 and temperature controller through controlling means, and the operating condition according to the switching state control heating member 120 of temperature controller, make when the temperature of heating member 120 is higher the temperature controller move and then will connect the circuit disconnection of heating member 120, make heating member 120 stop work, can avoid heating member 120 to continue to heat effectively when the temperature is higher and have the problem of damage, can avoid heating member 120 to burn futilely promptly, prolonged the life of heating member 120, the reliability of product has been improved. Specifically, when the medium passage 310 is a water inlet groove, the water inlet groove may be a water inlet groove formed by a protrusion or a groove provided at the bottom of the partition plate 200.

Further, the body 110 includes a first housing 290 and a second housing 300, the second housing 300 is covered at the opening 230 of the first housing 290, the isolation plate 200 of the isolator 130 is disposed in the first housing 290, specifically, in one aspect, the isolation plate 200 is disposed in the first housing 290, the inner surface of the isolation plate 200 forms the first chamber 140 with the bottom wall of the first housing 290 and/or the heating element 120, or the inner surface of the isolation plate 200, the isolation part 210 forms the first chamber 140 with the bottom wall of the first housing 290 and/or the heating element 120. The guide cylinder 180 is disposed through the second housing 300, so that at least a part of the guide cylinder 180 is located outside the second housing 300, and steam generated by the heating element 120 acting on the medium in the first chamber 140 is exhausted to a designated area outside the second housing 300 through the exhaust port 190 on the guide cylinder 180, or the steam is exhausted to the designated area outside the second housing 300 through the exhaust port 190 through the gap 220 between the guide cylinder 180 and the partition 210.

Specifically, on the one hand, the periphery of the isolation plate 200 is matched with the first housing 290 through the buckle 160 and the clamping groove 170 to fix the isolator 130 in the first housing 290, so that the isolator 130 can be prevented from floating upward under the action of water pressure, the positions and the gap variation of the isolation plate 200 and the first housing 290 and/or the heating element 120 are limited, and then the amount and the flow rate of liquid entering the first chamber 140 from the outside of the isolator 130 are limited, so that the reduction of the temperature of the liquid in the first chamber 140 is controllable, the generation of steam is not greatly influenced, and the steam can be rapidly discharged. Furthermore, the isolator 130 is detachably connected to the first housing 290, and when the isolator 130 is detached from the first housing 290, a user can clean the machine body and the isolator 130 or remove scales conveniently.

On the other hand, the isolator 130 is connected to the second housing 300, and specifically, after the isolator 130 is placed in the first housing 290, the second housing 300 is connected to the first housing 290, so that the second housing 300 presses the isolator 130, so that the isolator 130 is fixed in the first housing 290, the effect of preventing the isolator 130 from floating under the action of water pressure can also be achieved, and the purpose of facilitating cleaning can be achieved.
