steam generator, washing machine

Abstract

The present application provides a steam generator and a washing machine, including a casing and a pressure relief part. The casing is provided with a pressure relief hole, the pressure relief part is provided on the pressure relief hole, and the casing is provided with a pressure relief hole. Water storage chamber, the pressure relief hole is connected with the water storage chamber, when flushing the steam generator, the pressure relief part can block the communication between the water storage chamber and the external environment; when the flushing is completed, the After the steam generator is installed, the water storage chamber can be connected to the external environment through the pressure relief hole. The steam generator provided in the embodiment of the present application can ensure that excess water is discharged from the steam generator after the steam generator stops flushing, effectively solving the problem of excessive water storage in the steam generator, and thereby solving the problem. When using steam again, the steam outlet sprays water.

Description

technical field [0001] The application belongs to the technical field of washing machines, and in particular relates to a steam generator and a washing machine. Background technique [0002] Some existing washing machines have a steam ironing function. During the use of the steam ironing function, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the steam electric heating device has higher requirements on the steam generator itself. After the steam generator is used, impurities such as scales are generated inside. In order to flush the steam generator, it is necessary to inject water into the steam generator. Often, because the water injection speed is too fast, all the air in the steam generator is ejected. After water injection, the water pressure in the steam generator is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, so that the water in the steam generator cannot flow out from the overflow port, and the steam generator is full of water. When the steam function ...
