In the description of this application, the orientation or positional relationship of "top", "bottom" and "extending direction" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in Fig. 8 , wherein "upper" is the "top" direction of Fig. 8 , "bottom" is the "bottom" direction of Figure 8, it should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, It is constructed and operated in a particular orientation and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a steam generator, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 , which includes a steam outlet 2102 a , a housing 100 , a heating component 200 and a thermostat 600 . The housing 100 has a water inlet 100a; the heating assembly 200 includes a heating core 210 and a heating tube 220 arranged in the heating core 210, and a part of the heating core 210 is arranged in the housing 100, so that the heating core 210 and the housing are formed in the housing 100 The water inlet channel 2101a, the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the second water boiling chamber 2101c between the The water inlet 100a is communicated with the water inlet channel 2101a, and the steam outlet 2102a is communicated with the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the second water boiling chamber 2101c; at least part of the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a forms the temperature sensing of the thermostat 600 The location of the temperature sensing area satisfies: the water flow from the water inlet 100a to the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the water flow from the water inlet 100a to the second water boiling chamber 2101c both flow through at least part of the temperature sensing area; temperature control The heater 600 is arranged on the outer surface of the temperature sensing area and is connected in series with the heating pipe 220 .

Another embodiment of the present application provides an electrical device, including the steam generator provided by any embodiment of the present application.

The electrical equipment can be any electrical equipment that needs to use a steam generator, such as a steam mop, a steam iron, and a steam box.

Electrodes are provided at both ends of the heating pipe 220, and the heating pipe 220 can continue to generate heat in the state of being energized, so as to heat the water injected into the steam generator from the water inlet 100a into steam.

The thermostat 600 is used to detect the temperature of the temperature sensing area. When the thermostat 600 detects that the temperature of the temperature sensing area exceeds the operating temperature set by the thermostat 600, the thermostat 600 is tripped and connected in series with the thermostat 600. The heating tube 220 stops heating, and the steam generator gradually cools down. When the temperature of the temperature sensing area drops to the recovery temperature of the thermostat 600, the thermostat 600 is reconnected, and the heating tube 220 starts to heat again.

Specifically, the steam generator of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a water inlet channel 2101a that communicates with the water inlet 100a, and the water flows from the water inlet 100a into the water inlet channel 2101a, and then flows from the water inlet channel 2101a into the first water boiling cavity 2101b or in the second boiling water cavity 2101c. When the steam generator is in the normal release state (that is, the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a is located on the lower side of the water inlet channel 2101a), please refer to FIG. 8, if the steam generator is in the horizontal positive release state at this time, then A part of the water flow from the water inlet 100a into the water inlet channel 2101a will flow into the first water boiling cavity 2101b along the inner surface of the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a, and the other part of the water flow will flow along the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a. The inner surface flows into the second water boiling chamber 2101c. If the steam generator is tilted so that the steam generator is changed from the horizontal upright state to the inclined upright state, for example, please refer to FIG. If the side with the second water boiling cavity 2101c is inclined downward, the water flowing from the water inlet 100a into the water inlet channel 2101a will flow into the second water boiling cavity 2101c at least along the inner surface of the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a, Referring to FIG. 10 , if the steam generator is inclined downward from the side where the second water boiling chamber 2101c is provided to the side where the first water boiling chamber 2101b is provided, the steam generator will flow into the water inlet channel 2101a from the water inlet 100a The water flow will at least flow into the first boiling water cavity 2101b along the inner surface of the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a. The water flow in the device can flow into the corresponding boiling water cavity along the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a. At the same time, since the temperature sensing area on the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a is set in a position that can flow from the water inlet 100a to the first The water flow of the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the water flow from the water inlet 100a to the second water boiling chamber 2101c both flow through at least part of the temperature sensing area. Therefore, when the steam generator is in the normal discharge state, there will always be water flow through The temperature sensing area is cooled and the temperature sensing area will not be dried without water, so that the temperature of the temperature sensing area detected by the thermostat 600 can always be maintained at the temperature set by the thermostat 600. Under the operating temperature, the thermostat 600 will not trip over temperature, so that the heating tube 220 can be kept in a heating state, and the water flowing into the corresponding boiling water cavity can be at least blown by the heating tube 220. Heat to a vapor-liquid mixture. That is to say, when the steam generator is in the positive discharge state, no matter whether the steam generator is in the horizontal positive discharge state or the inclined positive discharge state, the steam generator can continue to generate steam. Works fine at multiple angles.

The steam generator of the embodiment of the present application is particularly suitable for electrical equipment with various usage angles, such as a steam mop.

There are various ways to enable the water flow from the water inlet 100a to the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the water flow from the water inlet 100a to the second water boiling chamber 2101c to flow through at least part of the temperature sensing area. For example, an embodiment 8, the water inlet 100a is located on the upper side of the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a, and the temperature sensing area extends from directly below the water inlet 100a toward the opposite sides of the water inlet channel 2101a along the extending direction, thus, When the steam generator is in the positive discharge state, no matter whether the steam generator is in the horizontal positive discharge state or the inclined positive discharge state, the water flow from the water inlet 100a into the water inlet channel 2101a will flow to the bottom of the water inlet 100a under the action of gravity on the temperature sensing zone.

In one embodiment, the water inlet flow rate of the water inlet 100a is greater than the water outlet flow rate of the water inlet channel 2101a, that is, the water inlet flow rate of the water inlet port 100a is greater than the total flow rate of the water flowing out from the opposite sides of the water inlet channel 2101a along the extending direction , the water flow can fill the entire water inlet channel 2101a in a short period of time after flowing into the water inlet channel 2101a. Therefore, no matter whether the steam generator is in an upright state or an inverted state (that is, the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a is located in the water inlet state at this time) the upper side of the channel 2101a), or other special conditions (for example, the steam mop works on the wall so that the extension direction of the water inlet channel 2101a of the heating core 210 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane), the water flow in the water inlet channel 2101a will always flow along the water inlet channel 2101a. The bottom wall corresponding to the water channel 2101a flows, a part of the water flow will flow into the first water boiling cavity 2101b, and the other part of the water flow will flow into the second water boiling cavity 2101c. It is cooled, and the temperature sensing area will not appear dry burning without water, so that the steam generator can work normally at any angle. Furthermore, when the steam generator is used on the steam mop, the steam mop can also be used in various Angled work surfaces are used normally.

It should be noted that the water flow direction shown in the water inlet channel 2101a in FIGS. 9 and 10 refers to the direction in which the water flow will at least flow under normal circumstances. When the water flow is out, part of the water flow in the water inlet channel 2101a will flow into the boiling water chamber in the opposite direction to the water flow shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10. In the inclined state, after the water flow fills the entire water inlet channel 2101a, a part of the water flow will flow into the first water boiling cavity 2101b. If the steam generator is in the inclined state shown in FIG. 10, the water flow will fill the entire water inlet channel 2101a. After that, a part of the water flow will flow into the second water boiling chamber 2101c.

That is to say, a part of the end cover 2102 forms the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a, and the position where the end cover 2102 fits with the thermostat 600 is the temperature sensing area on the bottom wall corresponding to the water inlet channel 2101a.

In one embodiment, the steam generator further includes a fuse, which is arranged on the end cover 2102 and is connected in series with the heating pipe 220 . When the thermostat 600 fails and cannot normally detect the temperature of the temperature sensing area, the fuse can detect the overall temperature of the steam generator. If the detected temperature exceeds the safe temperature, the fuse is blown and cannot be recovered, and the steam generator fails. That is to say, setting the thermostat 600 and the fuse at the same time can provide double protection for the steam generator, thereby improving the safety of the steam generator.

The first water boiling chamber 2101b is surrounded by the first curved plate 2103, and the second water boiling chamber 2101c is formed by the second curved plate 2104, so that the water flowing into the first water boiling chamber 2101b and the second water boiling chamber 2101c can flow. It can be sufficiently heated into steam in the corresponding water-boiling chamber, thereby improving the dryness of the steam.
