Steam generator and clothes dryer with same

Abstract

The invention discloses a steam generator and a clothes dryer with the same. The steam generator comprises a machine shell, a heating piece and a temperature controller. A steam generation cavity is defined in the machine shell, the machine shell is provided with a water inlet and a steam outlet communicated with the steam generation cavity, the heating piece is arranged in the steam generation cavity, the temperature controller is arranged in the steam generation cavity and connected with the heating piece, the temperature controller detects the temperature of the heating piece, controls the heating piece to be heated when the heating piece is lower than the preset temperature and closes the water inlet and controls the heating piece to stop being heated when the heating piece reaches the preset temperature and opens the water inlet. By means of the steam generator, the heating piece and the water inlet are controlled to work through the temperature controller, the water level in the steam generation cavity is controlled within a reasonable range, it can be guaranteed that the steam generator provides steam for the clothes dryer continuously, work performance of the clothes dryer can also be improved, and the service life of the clothes dryer is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, and more particularly, to a steam generator for a clothes dryer and a clothes dryer having the same. Background technique [0002] During the work of the clothes dryer, the clothes are dried by the rotation of the cylinder. Since the clothes are prone to wrinkles during the tumbling and heating process, adding a steam generator to the clothes dryer solves the problem of wrinkles in the drying clothes of the user. Moreover, there is no good solution for many clothes washing machines with peculiar smell but not dirty. They still operate according to the inherent washing procedures, which consumes water, electricity and time. The steam generator of the clothes dryer in the related art cannot better solve the problem of controlling the amount of water in the steam generator. When the amount of water is large, it is easy to cause spraying of water droplets. When the amount of water is small, it is easy to da...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] During the work of the clothes dryer, the clothes are dried by the rotation of the cylinder. Since the clothes are prone to wrinkles during the tumbling and heating process, adding a steam generator to the clothes dryer solves the problem of wrinkles in the drying clothes of the user. Moreover, there is no good way to deal with many clothes with peculiar smell but not dirty. The washing machine still operates according to the inherent washing procedure, which consumes water, electricity and time.

The steam generator of the clothes dryer in the related art cannot better solve the problem of controlling the amount of water in the steam generator. When the amount of water is large, it is easy to cause spraying of water droplets. When the amount of water is small, it is easy to damage the steam generator. The scale generated in the steam generator cannot be cleaned, which affects the working performance of the steam generator
