Steam generator and steam box with steam generator

Abstract

A steam generator comprises a base and an upper cover on the base. An air outlet is formed in the upper cover, a flow baffle is installed in the upper cover, the flow baffle is close to the air outlet, and a flow baffle face which tilts towards the air outlet from top to bottom is formed on the bottom of the flow baffle. A steam inlet gap is reserved between the upper portion of the flow baffle and the upper cover, and a water steam backflow gap is reserved between the lower portion of the flow baffle and the upper cover. According to the steam generator, the flow baffle close to the air outlet is arranged in the upper cover, so that the steam generated when water is boiling passes through the tilted flow baffle face first, and then passes through the steam inlet gap between the flow baffle and the upper cover of the steam generator to flow towards the air outlet, and the steam circulating path is prolonged. The flow baffle reduces condensate water flowing towards the air outlet to a certain extent, moreover, due to the water steam backflow gap between the lower portion of the flow baffle and the upper cover and the tilted structure of the flow baffle face of the flow baffle, it isensured that the condensate water accumulated in the flow baffle can flow back into the steam generator, and therefore, the boiling water steam in an evaporator is effectively prevented from enteringan inner container.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cooking device with a steaming function, in particular to a steam generator and a steamer equipped with the steam generator. Background technique [0002] The steam generator is one of the essential parts of the existing household appliances with steaming function. Taking the steam box frequently used in the household kitchen as an example, the steam box includes a water tank, a steam generator, a steam heater and a drum. Wind device and other units. Existing steam generators generally include a base and a heating assembly installed on the outer surface of the base. The heating assembly heats the water inside the base to generate steam, and the generated steam flows out of the steam generator and enters the cooking inner tank to affect the food. for heating. The volume of existing steamers on the market is generally lower than 50L. Correspondingly, the power and volume of the steam generators are relatively small. When it ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the volume of the steam generator is constant and the power is high, the water inside boils more violently, and water splashes in the volume, and finally enters the inner tank, resulting in too much condensed water in the inner tank, which brings some inconvenience to the cleaning of the inner tank

[0003] When the existing steam box is working, the steam discharged from the inner tank gathers in the air deflector of the air exhaust assembly, a part of the wind is discharged through the air deflector, and the other part forms condensed water and flows back through the exhaust port on the air deflector Into the inner tank, not only easy to smell, but also lead to more condensed water in the inner tank

In addition, when the steam valve of the existing steam box fails, the steam passage will be blocked, and the air pressure in the steam generator will rise sharply, posing a safety hazard
