In particular, the steam valve 100 projects beyond the roof 154 by an amount of at most 5 cm.
- the steam valve 100 has a discharge port 156 for steam
- This discharge connection 156 is arranged laterally on the valve housing 106 and positioned transversely and, for example, perpendicular to the direction / opposite direction 104 or the opening direction 152. It is arranged in particular in the indentation 144. Via the discharge port 156, a discharge line for steam is connected to the opening 36.
- a discharge opening 160 is formed at the indentation 144 (compare, for example, FIG. 12).
- the steam valve 100 is arranged.
- the valve housing 106 surrounds the discharge opening 160 on an outer side of the first wall 146.
- steam can be discharged via the steam valve 100.
- the discharge opening 160 enables the fluid-effective connection to an inner space 162 of the storage container 130.
- a tubular element 164 is arranged in the inner space 162.
- a part of a wall of the tubular element 164 is formed by a corresponding wall 166 of the first region 132 of the storage container 130.
- a portion 168 of the tubular member 164 is connected to the first wall 146.
- a continuation Placement of this part 168 in the second area 134 is in one embodiment, the second wall 148th
- a subspace 170 is formed in the interior space 162 in front of the discharge opening 160.
- This subspace 170 is bounded by a retention grid 172.
- the retaining grid is fixed to the tubular element 164.
- a pin member 174 is disposed in the inner space 162. This pin element is in particular fixed to the wall 166 or formed on this. The pin member 174 holds the retention grid.
- the retention grid 172 serves to retain particles that may be dispensed through the dispensing opening 160.
- the discharge opening 160 has a smaller cross-sectional area than the sub-space 170.
- the retention grid 172 in particular prevents clogging or damage to the discharge opening 160 or the steam valve 100.
- a wall 176 is arranged in the interior space 162 and extends at least approximately parallel to the opening direction 152 and protrudes from the second area 134 into the first area 132, that is, beyond the first wall 146.
- This wall 176 delimits the subspace 178 in the first area 132 and the second area 134.
- This subspace 178 is a vapor space in a vapor mode of the handheld steamer 10. In this subspace 178, no liquid or as little liquid should reach as possible.
- the wall 176 has, starting from the top wall 158 a greater height than the second wall 148 in continuation of the wall 168th
- a surge element 180 is fixed on the pin member 174.
- the surge element 180 which is in particular a sheet metal part, delimits the subspace 178, which includes the subspace 170, from the remaining interior space 162.
- the surge element 180 is formed closed except for one or more gaps 182, which allow a passage of steam.
- Bypass element 180 is intended to prevent the penetration of water into the subspace 178 as much as possible.
- the surge element 180 is also supported on the retaining grid 172 via a support 184.
- the surge element 180 is loosely applied to an inner side 186 of the wall 176 (toward the lower space 178) and / or the wall 166 in one embodiment. It may be formed there or the column 182.
- a width of a gap is in particular in the range between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm and, for example, in the range between 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm.
- the surge element 180 has one or more tear edges 188.
- a tear-off edge 188 serves for "calming down" a liquid flow below the flow-deflecting element 180 in order to avoid the penetration of liquid into the sub-space 178 to a large extent.
- the surge element 180 has a first region 190 and a second region 192.
- the second region 192 is bent with respect to the first region 190.
- a tear-off edge 188 is then formed.
- the second region 192 faces the wall 176 and is, for example, applied to it (in particular with the gap 182).
- the storage container 130 is initially filled with liquid (in particular water) (and in particular partially filled). Liquid is in particular through the opening 80 in the memory container 130 introduced. In a steam operation, the lid 82 is fixed to the opening 80. By operation of the heater 138, liquid is evaporated.
- the storage container 130 has a receiving space 194 for liquid. It also has a receiving space 196 for steam. The relative size of these receiving spaces 194, 196 is variable and depends in particular on the liquid consumption.
- the subspace 178 is ideally a pure vapor space. There is no liquid in it, so that there is only steam, which can be discharged. Between the retaining grid 172 and the surge element 180 is a certain minimum distance, which is in particular at least 1 mm.
- the hand-held steam generator 10 can be used in different positions. It is not necessary that the opening direction 152 (a height direction of the storage container 130) is oriented parallel to the gravity direction g. Also inclination positions to the gravitational direction g are possible.
- the surge element 180 largely prevents the penetration of liquid into the subspace 178.
- the pressure storage device 70 is compact with a minimization of the height dimensions, so that again housing dimensions 12 can be minimized, without further compromises regarding the liquid absorption capacity must be received.
- the pressure accumulator 70 with steam valve 100 disposed thereon can be handled as a unit in the manufacture of the handheld steamer 10 and held as a whole to the housing insert 58. The number of required components can be minimized. This in turn also facilitates the production.
- the steam valve 100 or essential parts of the steam valve 100 (valve body 102, valve housing 106, valve seat 116) is made of a plastic material.
- the surge element 180 liquid surfaces are calmed when moving the hand-held steam generator 10 and entrainment of liquid in a vapor stream is largely prevented.
