It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

A steam generating device and a garment steamer provided according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 3.

The first embodiment is as follows:

as shown in fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a steam generating apparatus, including: a heating cavity 102, a heating component 104, an electrical connection component 106, a liquid supply component 108 and a first power supply 110.

Wherein the liquid supply component 108 is in communication with the heating chamber 102 and is operable to provide heat to the heating chamber 102; the heating element 104 may provide heat to the heating chamber 102 during operation, thereby causing liquid located within the heating chamber 102 to be converted to steam. In particular, the electrical connection component 106 is electrically connected to the heating component 104, and during use, the electrical connection component 106 can be electrically connected to an external power source, so as to supply power to the heating component 104 when power is supplied, thereby ensuring that the heating component 104 operates and supplying heat to the heating cavity 102. The first power supply 110 is electrically connected to the liquid supply component 108 and can supply power to the liquid supply component 108, thereby heating the liquid in the heating chamber 102 to generate steam.

In particular, when the heating component 104 is operated for a period of time and at a higher temperature, the connection of the power connection component 106 to the external power source can be disconnected, and the wireless use state can be entered. In the wireless use state, due to the design of the first power supply 110, it is ensured that the first power supply 110 can still supply power to the liquid supply part 108, and further, it is ensured that the steam generating device can still operate and generate steam in the wireless state.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, when the steam generator of the present invention is applied to a garment steamer, particularly a hand-held garment steamer, the power connection component 106 can be electrically connected to the second power source 206 on the base 202 of the garment steamer to supply power to the heating component 104, so that the heating component 104 supplies heat to the heating cavity 102 to heat the liquid in the heating cavity 102. Then, the user can take the garment steamer 210 of the garment steamer to iron the garment; at this time, the power connection component 106 is separated from the second power supply 206 on the base 202, and the first power supply 110 is arranged on the hanging ironing portion 210, so that the first power supply 110 can continuously supply power to the liquid supply component 108, and further the liquid supply component 108 can continuously supply liquid to the heating cavity 102 to continuously generate steam, so that a user can conveniently iron different positions and different angles of clothes, and the hanging ironing machine can still work in a wireless state.

Example two:

as shown in fig. 1, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a steam generating apparatus, including: a heating cavity 102, a heating component 104, an electrical connection component 106, a liquid supply component 108, a first power supply 110 and a first temperature controller 112.

Wherein the liquid supply component 108 is in communication with the heating chamber 102 and is operable to supply liquid to the heating chamber 102, and the heating component 104 is operable to supply heat to the heating chamber 102; the power connection component 106 is electrically connected with the heating component 104, and during use, the power connection component 106 can be communicated with an external power supply to supply power to the heating component 104 when power is supplied; a first power source 110 is electrically coupled to liquid supply 108 and can provide power to liquid supply 108.

In addition, the steam generating device further comprises a first thermostat 112. The first thermostat 112 is electrically connected to the electrical connection component 106 and can detect the temperature of the heating component 104. The first thermostat 112 has an off temperature, i.e., a first temperature threshold; when the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the first temperature threshold, the first thermostat 112 is in an off state, the electrical connection between the heating component 104 and the electrical connection component 106 is disconnected, and the electrical connection component 106 stops supplying power to the heating component 104.

Particularly, based on the design of the first temperature controller 112, it is ensured that the temperature of the heating component 104 is not too high, on one hand, the temperatures of the heating cavity 102 and the heating component 104 are ensured, scalding of a user during use is avoided, and on the other hand, the temperature of steam sprayed by the steam generating device is ensured to be appropriate, so that scalding of the user or damage to clothes is avoided.

In addition, the steam generating device proposed in the present embodiment includes all the advantages of the steam generating device according to the first embodiment, and the discussion is not repeated here.

Example three:

as shown in fig. 1, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a steam generating apparatus, including: the heating device comprises a heating cavity 102, a heating component 104, an electric connection component 106, a liquid supply component 108, a first power supply 110, a first temperature controller 112, a control component 114 and a temperature detection component 116.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, the steam generating apparatus further includes a control part 114 and a temperature detecting part 116. One end of the control part 114 is electrically connected to the first power supply 110, the other end of the control part 114 is electrically connected to the temperature detection part 116 and the liquid supply part 108, respectively, and the control part 114 can control the first power supply 110 to supply power to the liquid supply part 108 according to the detection result of the temperature detection part 116.

When the temperature of the heating member 104 is low, the liquid entering the heating chamber 102 cannot boil and steam is generated, at which point there is a risk that the liquid will be ejected directly out of the heating chamber 102. Therefore, the temperature of the heating element 104 is detected by the temperature detecting element 116, and then the first power source 110 is controlled by the control element 114 to supply power to the liquid supply element 108, so as to effectively avoid the situation that the liquid spraying occurs in the steam generating device.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 1, the temperature detecting part 116 may adopt a second thermostat. Wherein, the second temperature controller and the liquid supply part 108 are respectively electrically connected with the control part 114, and the second temperature controller and the liquid supply part 108 are the control logic of 'NOT gate'. The second thermostat has a cut-off temperature, i.e. a second temperature threshold; when the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the second temperature controller is in an off state, and at this time, the control component 114 controls the first power supply 110 to supply power to the liquid supply component 108, thereby ensuring that the liquid supply component 108 supplies liquid to the heating chamber 102.

Specifically, when the temperature of the heating component 104 is lower than the second temperature threshold, the temperature in the heating chamber 102 is lower, and if the liquid supply component 108 is controlled to supply liquid to the heating chamber 102, the liquid cannot be guaranteed to boil in the heating chamber 102, so that the liquid spraying phenomenon may occur. The utility model discloses a cooperation of second temperature controller and control unit 114, under the condition that the temperature that guarantees heating part 104 is higher than second temperature threshold, just control to supply liquid part 108 and supply liquid for heating chamber 102, can effectively avoid the hydrojet phenomenon.

In particular, the second temperature threshold is less than the first temperature threshold. When the heating member 104 is operated such that the temperature of the heating member 104 is greater than the first temperature threshold, indicating that the heating chamber 102 is already at a high temperature, power to the heating member 104 is stopped to avoid the danger of high temperature. At this time, the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the second temperature controller is in an off state, and the control component 114 controls the first power source 110 to supply power to the liquid supply component 108, so as to ensure that the liquid boils and generates steam after entering the heating cavity 102.

Specifically, the difference between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold is generally greater than 0 ℃ and greater than or equal to 30 ℃.

After the steam generating device is used for a period of time, the temperature in the heating chamber 102 may be gradually decreased, indicating that the temperature of the heating member 104 is low when the temperature of the heating member 104 is less than the second temperature threshold. At this time, the second temperature controller is in a conducting state, and the temperature of the heating element 104 is unable to heat the liquid to a boiling state, so the control element 114 controls the first power source 110 to stop supplying power to the liquid supply element 108, thereby avoiding the liquid spraying phenomenon.

Example four:

as shown in fig. 1, a fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a steam generating apparatus, including: the heating device comprises a heating cavity 102, a heating component 104, an electric connection component 106, a liquid supply component 108, a first power supply 110, a first temperature controller 112, a control component 114 and a temperature detection component 116.

In this embodiment, further, the control part 114 may also be electrically connected with the heating part 104. When the power receiving component 106 is disconnected from the external power source and the temperature of the heating component 104 is less than the second temperature threshold, the heating component 104 may be powered by the first power source 110. At this time, the heating part 104 can be further controlled to operate in a wireless state, so that the temperature of the heating part 104 can be raised in the wireless state, and the steam generating device can be ensured to operate for a long time.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 1, the power receiving component 106 is also electrically connected to the control component 114, so as to selectively supply power to the control component 114 through the power receiving component 106 or the first power source 110, thereby controlling the operation of the liquid supply component 108. Specifically, the first power source 110 generally employs a built-in power source, and when the first power source 110 is insufficient in power or damaged, the power supply part 108 can be powered by directly connecting an external power source through the power connection part 106, so as to ensure that the liquid supply part 108 can still operate when the first power source 110 is insufficient in power or damaged, thereby improving the stability of the steam generator.

On the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the steam generating device further includes a thermal fuse 118. The thermal fuse 118, the first thermostat 112 and the electrical connection component 106 are connected in series. The thermal fuse 118 can be fused at a high temperature to break the electrical connection between the electrical connection component 106 and the heating component 104, thereby preventing the heating component 104 from continuously operating and causing a safety hazard. On the one hand, the thermal fuse 118 may form a double protection with the first thermostat 112, and on the other hand, the thermal fuse 118 may play a role in protection in case of a failure of the first thermostat 112.

On the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the steam generating device further comprises an insulating layer. Wherein, the heat-insulating layer is coated on the outer surface of the heating cavity 102 to play a certain role of heat preservation and heat insulation. In particular, when the heating element 104 no longer provides heat to the heating chamber 102, the insulating layer can greatly prolong the time for the steam generating device to generate steam, thereby ensuring the use time of users.

On the basis of the second embodiment, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the steam generating device further includes a first circuit 120, a second circuit 122 and a third circuit 124.

That is, the first power source 110 is connected to the control unit 114 via the first circuit 120, and then is divided into two paths to be connected to the temperature detecting unit 116 and the liquid supply unit 108, respectively.

By such design, on one hand, the first power supply 110 can supply power to the liquid supply part 108 and the temperature detection part 116 through the control part 114, and on the other hand, the control part 114 can control the liquid supply part 108 to work through the detection result of the temperature detection part 116.

On the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the first power source 110 is a battery, and may specifically be a dry battery or a storage battery.

On the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the electrical connection component 106 adopts a connector and is connected to an external power supply.

Example five:

as shown in fig. 2 and 3, a fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a garment steamer, comprising: a steam generating apparatus as in any one of the above embodiments.

The garment steamer provided by the embodiment comprises the steam generating device provided by any one of the embodiments. Therefore, the steam generator has all the advantages of the steam generator. And will not be discussed one by one here.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the steamer includes a base 202 and a body 204. The body 204 is detachably provided on the base 202, and the steam generating device is provided on the body 204. The wireless state is when the body 204 is separated from the base 202, and the wired state is when the body 204 is mounted to the base 202. Due to the design of the first power supply 110 in the steam generating device, the garment steamer can be continuously used in a wireless state, and the use by a user is facilitated.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the garment steamer also includes a second power source 206. The second power source 206 is disposed on the base 202 and is used in conjunction with the power receiving components 106 of the steam generating device.

Specifically, when the body 204 is in the wired state when mounted on the base 202, the power connection component 106 is electrically connected to the second power source 206, such that the second power source 206 provides power to the heating component 104, such that the heating component 104 operates and raises the temperature within the heating cavity 102. When the heating member 104 is operated to heat the temperature of the heating member 104 above the first temperature threshold, indicating that the heating chamber 102 is already at a high temperature, the body 204 may be removed from the base 202 and the second power supply 206 electrically disconnected from the electrical connection 106 to avoid excessive temperatures within the heating chamber 102. At this time, the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the second temperature controller is in an off state, and the control component 114 controls the first power source 110 to supply power to the liquid supply component 108, so as to ensure that the liquid boils and generates steam after entering the heating cavity 102.

After the steam generating device is used for a period of time, the temperature in the heating cavity 102 is gradually decreased, when the temperature of the heating component 104 is heated to be less than the second temperature threshold, which indicates that the temperature of the heating component 104 is low, the second temperature controller is in a conduction state, and at this time, the temperature of the heating component 104 cannot heat the liquid to a boiling state, so that the first power supply 110 is controlled to stop supplying power to the liquid supply component 108, and the liquid spraying phenomenon is avoided.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the body 204 includes a holding portion 208 and a hanging portion 210. The hanging part 210 is used as a part for generating steam, and the holding part 208 is used by a user for taking, so that the hanging part 210 is convenient for the user to use on one hand, and the user is prevented from contacting the high-temperature hanging part 210 on the other hand. Further, the electric connection member 106 and the first power source 110 are provided on the grip portion 208, and the electric connection member 106 is located at the bottom of the grip portion 208, ensuring that the electric connection member 106 can be in contact with and electrically connected to the second power source 206 when the body 204 is mounted on the base 202.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 1, the temperature detecting component 116 may adopt a second thermostat having an off temperature, i.e. a second temperature threshold. When the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the second temperature controller is in an off state, and the control component 114 controls the first power supply 110 to supply power to the liquid supply component 108, thereby ensuring that the liquid supply component 108 supplies liquid to the heating chamber 102.

Wherein the body 204 is detachably disposed on the base 202, and the steam generating device is disposed on the body 204. The wireless state is when the body 204 is separated from the base 202, and the wired state is when the body 204 is mounted to the base 202.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the body 204 is mounted on the base 202, the power connection component 106 is electrically connected to the second power source 206, such that the second power source 206 provides power to the heating component 104, such that the heating component 104 operates and raises the temperature within the heating cavity 102. When the heating member 104 is operated to heat the temperature of the heating member 104 above the first temperature threshold, indicating that the heating chamber 102 is already at a high temperature, the body 204 may be removed from the base 202 and the second power supply 206 electrically disconnected from the electrical connection 106 to avoid excessive temperatures within the heating chamber 102. At this time, the temperature of the heating component 104 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the second temperature controller is in an off state, and the control component 114 controls the first power source 110 to supply power to the liquid supply component 108, so as to ensure that the liquid boils and generates steam after entering the heating cavity 102.

Also, the power receiving member 106 and the first power source 110 are provided on the grip portion 208, and the power receiving member 106 is located at the bottom of the grip portion 208, ensuring that the power receiving member 106 can be in contact with and electrically connected to the second power source 206 when the body 204 is mounted on the base 202.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 2, the garment steamer proposed by this embodiment is a hand-held garment steamer.

The third concrete embodiment:

in the steam generating device provided by the embodiment, the configuration of the double temperature controllers is realized through the cooperation of the first temperature controller 112 and the second temperature controller, so that the condition of liquid spraying is avoided; through the cooperation of the first power source 110 and the electrical connection component 106, a dual power supply configuration is realized and can be used in a wireless state.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in particular, the steam generating device proposed by the present embodiment includes: a heating component 104, a first temperature controller 112, a second temperature controller, a heating component 104, a liquid supply component 108, a first power supply 110, a power connection component 106, etc.; wherein the power receiving component 106 can be used with the second power source 206.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the heating component 104 is used to boil the liquid in the heating chamber 102 into steam. The on-off temperature of the first temperature controller 112 is a first temperature threshold, which is higher, and the maximum temperature of the heating component 104 is controlled within a certain range.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the on-off temperature of the second temperature controller is a second temperature threshold, the second temperature threshold is lower, and the lowest temperature of the heating component 104 is controlled within a certain range (the second temperature threshold should be greater than or equal to 100 ℃, and generally greater than or equal to 110 ℃).

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the control unit 114 controls the liquid supply unit 108 to be turned on or off according to the temperature controller of the second temperature controller. The power connection component 106 is used in conjunction with a second power source 206 to generally power the heating component 104 and also to power the liquid supply component 108 and the control component 114 such that the garment steamer body 204 is disconnected from the base 202 in a cordless manner (the second power source 206 is typically household ac or other power source). The control unit 114 may be an electric control board.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, first power source 110 is typically a battery or other power source that can be carried with body 204, and first power source 110 is required to power liquid supply component 108 and control component 114 if heating component 104 is required to vaporize liquid in a wireless state, and first power source 110 is not required if a wireless state is not required.

The liquid supply component 108 may employ a water pump to pump liquid into the heating chamber 102 in the sub-scenario.

Specifically, the wireless state is a state when the body 204 is separated from the base 202 and the power receiving member 106 is electrically disconnected from the second power source 206.

The wired state is a state in which the body 204 is mounted on the base 202 and the power receiving member 106 is electrically connected to the second power source 206.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the steam generating device of the present embodiment can control the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature of the heating component 104 within a certain range by the cooperation of the first thermostat 112 and the second thermostat, and the operation of the liquid supply component 108 is controlled by the second thermostat and the control component 114.

In the steam generating device of the present embodiment, the wireless status may require the first power source 110 to be present, and the second power source 206 coupled with the connecting component 106 may heat the heating component 104 to a higher temperature exceeding 100 ℃ controlled by the first thermostat 112. After the temperature stabilizes, the second power source 206 is removed (i.e., wireless state). At this time, the second temperature controller is turned off, the first power source 110 is turned on, the liquid supply part 108 is operated, and the heating part 104 evaporates water to generate liquid and generate steam. When the temperature of the heating component 104 is lowered to the closing temperature of the second thermostat after a certain period of time, the liquid supply component 108 stops operating (even if the first power supply 110 is turned on). In addition, in the wireless state, in order to secure the steaming time, heat dissipation from the heating part 104 needs to be reduced, and an insulating material needs to be wrapped around the heating chamber 102. After the heating component 104 is heated to a higher temperature exceeding 100 ℃, the second temperature controller is switched off, and the liquid supply component 108 starts to work, so that the condition of liquid spraying does not occur.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the embodiment, the second power source 206 is connected in series with the heating element 104, the thermal fuse 118 and the first temperature controller 112 through the power connection component 106, the second power source 206 supplies power to the heating element 104, the first temperature controller 112 controls the maximum temperature of the heating element 104 to a certain range, and the body 204 of the garment steamer can be detached from the second power source 206 to form a wireless state. The first power supply 110 supplies power to the control part 114 and the water pump, the first power supply 110 is independent, the second temperature controller identifies the temperature on the surface of the control part 114, and only when the temperature is higher than 100 ℃, the second temperature controller is switched off, the control part 114 identifies a signal, and the liquid supply part 108 can work. The difference between the highest temperature of the first temperature controller 112 and the second temperature controller is greater than 0 ℃, generally greater than 30 ℃, so as to ensure that the user can hold the body 204 by hand and can use the body for a period of time in a wireless state.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in an exemplary embodiment, the heating element 104 may be heated to a maximum cut-off temperature of the first thermostat 112 at the maximum temperature provided by the second power source 206. At this time, the power receiving part 106 is unloaded from the second power source 206, i.e., the wireless state. Since the difference between the maximum temperature at which the first thermostat 112 opens and the maximum temperature at which the second thermostat opens is greater than 0 deg.C, typically greater than 30 deg.C. Therefore, the liquid supply component 108 can be operated in a wireless state to pump water to the heating component 104 to generate steam. I.e. the wireless state is available. The liquid supply part 108 stops when the temperature of the heating part 104 drops to the closing temperature of the second thermostat. The operating temperature range in the wireless state is between the second thermostat cut-off temperature and the first thermostat 112 cut-off temperature.

In the embodiment, the temperature of the heating component 104 must exceed 100 ℃, the second temperature controller is turned off, and the liquid supply component 108 can work, so that the water spraying phenomenon is avoided.
