The invention discloses a steam sterilizer, which comprises an evaporating pan
assembly having a disinfection chamber, wherein a
heating element is arranged at bottom of the disinfection chamber, an
exhaust pipe is arranged on the upper part of the disinfection chamber, an exhaust control valve is arranged on the
exhaust pipe; a pressure water case, wherein, the bottom of the pressure water case is connected to the bottom of the disinfection chamber through a feed
pipe, a
water volume control valve is arranged on the feed
pipe; a bidirectional
air pump connected to the pressure water case through a pressure regulating pipeline and communicated to the disinfection chamber through a hot air pipeline, wherein a pressure regulating valve is arranged on the pressure regulating pipeline, a hot air control valve is arranged on the hot air pipeline; a circuit board
assembly connected to the bidirectional
air pump, the
heating element, the exhaust control valve, the
water volume control valve, the pressure regulating control valve and the hot air control valve; and a casing arranged at external part of the above parts for supporting and protecting the above parts. The steam sterilizer has functions of cleaning, disinfection and
drying which are carried out in the disinfection chamber, artificial transfer of the disinfection articles is not required, usage is more convenient and faster, disinfection
processing efficiency is increased, and secondary
pollution probability during a transfer process of the disinfection articles can be reduced. An ingenious design is employed, so that structure is simpler, more compact, smaller and more flexible, comprehensive
utilization rate of the parts is high, and manufacture cost and use cost can be better controlled.
