Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a device that generates steam for facial beauty.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a steam generator used as a facial steamer has a structure in which a steam outlet hose is connected to the top of a steam generating pot, and steam is injected from a nozzle provided at the tip of the hose.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

As mentioned above, if the steam generated in the steam generating pot is sent directly to the nozzle from the steam outlet hose, there is a risk that the hot water boiled in the steam generating pot will flow out together with the generated bubbles and blow out from the nozzle.
Improvement is desired.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and the purpose is to provide a facial steam generator that can produce only uniform steam without spewing out hot water droplets.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention incorporates an anti-foaming member inside the steam generating pot to defoam the steam heading toward the steam outlet path, and provides a steam reservoir in the middle of the steam outlet path. The lower part of this steam reservoir and the steam generating pot are connected by a hot water return passage.

[Effect]

When the steam generated in the steam generating pot passes through the foam prevention member, foam generated during boiling water is captured and disappears, and hot water droplets are prevented from flowing out into the steam outlet path along with the foam.

The steam that has flowed into the steam outlet path is separated into steam and hot water droplets in the steam pool, and only uniform steam is ejected from the nozzle, and the hot water droplets separated in the steam pool return to the steam generating pot.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1, a steam generating pot 1 generates steam by heating internal water with a heat source such as a heater 2 placed at the bottom, and also generates steam at a constant level by a water supply tank 4 into which a mouthpiece 3 is inserted from the top. Water is supplied to maintain the water level.

A steam outlet passage 6 is connected to a steam outlet hole 5 provided in the upper part of the steam generating pot 1, and a steam injection nozzle 7 is attached to the tip of this outlet passage 6. A reservoir 8 is provided,
The steam headed for the nozzle 7 is stored in this steam reservoir 8, and hot water droplets contained in the steam are separated and removed.

The lower part of the steam reservoir 8 and the lower part of the steam generating pot 1 are connected by a hot water return passage 9, so that hot water droplets captured in the steam reservoir 8 are returned to the steam generating pot 1.

A foam prevention member 10 is installed at an upper position inside the steam generating pot 1 to prevent foam generated by hot water from flowing out toward the steam outlet path 6 while containing hot water droplets.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, this anti-foaming member 10 uses a disc having a large number of through holes 11 and a cap insertion hole 12, and is placed horizontally above the steam generating pot 1. The material is not limited to such a disk as long as it has a defoaming function, such as a net-like material.

The steam generator of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when the steam generated in the steam generating pot 1 passes through the foam prevention member 10, the bubbles disappear and flow into the steam outlet path 6, and the steam is collected in the steam reservoir 8. After the droplets are separated and removed, they are ejected from the tip nozzle 7 of the steam outlet path 6,
Therefore, it is possible to beautify the face with uniform steam that does not contain hot water droplets.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to this invention, a foam prevention member is incorporated in the upper part of the steam generating pot, and a steam reservoir is provided in the middle of the steam outflow passage, so that hot water droplets can be reliably removed from the steam generated in the steam generating pot. By spraying only uniform steam from the nozzle, the safety of the facial steamer can be improved.
