Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shower appliances, in particular to a steam shower with good heating effect. Background Art

[0002] A steam shower is a shower that can spray water mist with a steam effect. It usually has a special atomizing device inside. By setting a pressurized structure in the nozzle structure, the pressure potential energy of the water flow is converted into kinetic energy as much as possible, and the water droplets are turned into water mist, forming a waterfall steam shower phenomenon. The amount of water consumed by the atomized water droplets is greatly reduced. Compared with traditional showers, the water saving rate can reach 50% or even 70%. At the same time, due to the increase in the contact area between the atomized droplets and the air, most of the heat can be transferred to the air, which can quickly increase the room temperature, reduce heat loss, and achieve the effect of saving heat. Although the water flow rate is reduced, the special design makes the formed liquid film collide with the air to form water particles suitable for showering. Even at a smaller flow rate, more parts of the human body can be cleaned, and the cleaning ability is not lost.

Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a steam shower head with good heating effect, including a steam generator module, a shower head mixing module and a control and safety module;

[0031] The steam generator module includes a water tank 2, a heating element 4, and a steam outlet pipe 5. The heating element 4 is a PTC ceramic heater or a stainless steel heating tube, which is used to quickly heat the water in the water tank 2 to the boiling point to produce saturated steam. The steam outlet pipe 5 is connected to the shower mixing module and is equipped with a temperature sensor 6 and a pressure release valve 7.

[0032] The shower mixing module includes a shower head assembly 8, which is provided with a steam baffle 801, a hot and cold water inlet pipe 802 and a steam nozzle pipe 803. The hot and cold water inlet pipe 802 is connected to an external hot and cold water source, the steam nozzle pipe 803 is connected to the steam outlet pipe 5, and the steam baffle 801 is used to separate the hot and cold water flow and the steam flow path inside the shower head assembly 8.

[0033] Specifically, the steam generator module also includes a heating cavity, in which the heating element 4 is arranged. The heating cavity is made of high-pressure heat-resistant aluminum or stainless steel alloy, and is provided with a secondary steam expansion cavity inside to stabilize the steam outlet temperature to 42-60 degrees Celsius.

[0034] Furthermore, the shower head assembly 8 of the shower mixing module is a top-spray structure, including a central steam nozzle pipe 803 and peripheral hot and cold water mist holes, supporting three mode switching: pure hot and cold water output, steam and water mist mixed water output, and pure steam water output.

[0035] Among them, the control and safety module includes an NTC thermistor temperature control system, the NTC thermistor is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 6, and is used to monitor and adjust the steam temperature in real time. The control and safety module integrates an anti-dry burning power-off device and is linked to the water level detection component of the water tank 2.

[0036] It should be noted that the steam outlet pipe 5 of the steam generator module adopts high-temperature silicone or stainless steel bellows, and a water inlet pipe 3 is provided at one end of the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is connected to the external water source through the water inlet pipe 3, and a flow control valve is provided on the water inlet pipe 3.

[0037] The steam generator module is connected to the shower mixing module via a detachable pipeline, and a base 1 is provided at the bottom of the steam generator module for fixed installation.

[0038] Furthermore, the power of the heating element 4 is 800-1500W, which supports rapid heating to generate steam in 5-10 seconds. The overall size of the steam generator module is 18cm×12cm×10cm.

[0039] Among them, the control and safety module supports panel control or APP linkage control, and can preset steam temperature, steaming time and water output mode.

[0040] Specifically, the hot and cold water inlet pipe 802 and the steam nozzle pipe 803 of the shower mixing module adopt an independent diversion design to avoid pressure interference between the water flow and the steam flow.

[0041] Among them, the safety level of the steam generator module is IPX4-IPX6, and the heating element 4 has a self-limiting temperature function or an overheating protection mechanism.

[0042] During use, external water enters water tank 2 through water inlet pipe 3. The water level detection component of the control and safety module monitors the water level in real time. When the device is started, the water in water tank 2 enters the heating chamber. The heating element 4 (PTC ceramic heating plate or stainless steel heating tube) quickly heats the water to boiling point to produce saturated steam (80-100 degrees Celsius). The steam stabilizes at a temperature of 42-60 degrees Celsius in the secondary steam expansion chamber of the heating chamber. The temperature sensor 6 and the NTC thermistor temperature control system monitor and adjust the steam temperature in real time. The pressure relief valve 7 releases pressure in the chamber if the pressure is too high.

[0043] Steam is transported to the shower head assembly 8 of the shower mixing module through the steam outlet pipe 5 (high-temperature silicone or stainless steel bellows), and hot and cold water enter the shower head assembly 8 through the hot and cold water inlet pipe 802. The internal steam partition 801 separates the hot and cold water flow and the steam flow path. According to different water outlet mode requirements, the central steam nozzle pipe 803 can be controlled by controlling the valve to output steam separately (pure steam mode), the peripheral hot and cold water mist holes can output hot and cold water separately (pure hot and cold water mode), or both can be opened at the same time to output mixed water (steam and water mist mixed mode). The control and safety module supports panel or APP preset temperature, duration and mode. The anti-dry burning power-off device automatically cuts off the power for protection when there is no water. The entire system realizes the operation of a multi-functional steam shower through efficient heating, stable temperature control, independent diversion and intelligent control.

[0044] It will be appreciated that in the development of any actual embodiment, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but will, for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure, be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and production without undue experimentation.
