Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a steam generator used in an electric stove, and an object thereof is to provide a device that uses water without wasting water.

As shown in FIG. 1, conventional electric heaters of this type have a steam outlet 1 on the front of the main body and a water inlet 2 on the side.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, this internal structure connects the water supply port 2 to the water tank 3, and connects the water tank 3 and the steam outlet 1 via an elbow 4 and a pipe 5. A heater 6 was wrapped around the outer periphery of the pipe 5 to heat water and discharge the steam to the outside from the steam outlet 1.

However, since the steam outlet 1 and the water supply port 2 are provided at different positions, steam does not form from the steam outlet 1 and accumulates in the outlet 1, and hot water is exposed near the outlet 1. Unlike steam a, hot water is discharged in the direction indicated by the arrow, which wastes water and is also disadvantageous in terms of effective use of heat.

Also, since the water supply port 2 is facing upwards, garbage can be removed from the water tank 3.
It was easy for them to get inside, causing damage to the water tank 3.

The present invention aims to improve these drawbacks, and one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 3, an opening 7 is provided on the front surface of the stove body, and water is injected through this opening 7 and steam is discharged from the opening 7.

The internal structure is shown in Figure 4.

A water tank 8 is arranged inside the stove body, and this water tank 8
The lower end of a pipe 10 is connected to the lower part of the stove via an elbow 9, and the upper end of this pipe 10 is led to the opening 7 of the stove body.

A guide body 11 made of resin or the like is attached to the opening 7, a pipe section 12 at the lower part of the guide body 11 is connected to the water tank 8, and a pipe section 13 at the upper part of the guide body 11 is connected to an elbow. It is connected to the upper end of the pipe 10 via 14.

A lid 15 that can be opened and closed is attached to a part of the upper surface of the guide body 11.

When the lid 15 is opened and water is poured into the water tank 8, water is filled into the water tank 8 from the lower pipe section 12.
At the same time, water also accumulates inside the pipe 10.

The ice inside the pipe 10 is heated by a heater 16 wrapped around the pipe 10, and steam rises inside the pipe 10 and is discharged from the pipe portion 13 to the outside of the guide body 11.

It is sufficient to keep the lid 15 closed except when water is being poured.

Therefore, when the steam (arrow a) is discharged, the hot water that has condensed in the vicinity of the pipe 13 passes through the pipe 12 and enters the water tank 8 again without leaking outside, making it possible to effectively recycle the limited amount of water. It is available.

As described above, according to the present invention, hot water and steam do not splash out to the outside, so the floor surface does not get wet and there is no risk of burns.

Furthermore, since the hot water returns to the tank, water and heat can be used effectively.

Furthermore, since the lid of the guide body is kept closed except when water is being poured, it is difficult for dirt that may cause rust on the device to enter the water tank, thereby extending the life of the device.
