[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 A specific embodiment of a steam generator for producing dry steam is shown, comprising: a first-stage thick-film heating tube 1, a second-stage thick-film heating tube 2, a first temperature sensor 3, a second temperature sensor 4, a controller 5, a power water supply component, and a reflux structure 9. Specifically, the power water supply component is a water pump 8, which can be a high-pressure water pump. Both the first temperature sensor 3 and the second temperature sensor 4 are NTC temperature sensors. The steam generator for producing dry steam described in this application can be widely used in applications such as household appliances and industrial equipment that require dry steam.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first-level thick film heating tube 1 is provided with a water channel inside; specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, the water channel is a spiral water channel 6; further, the pitch of the spiral water channel 6 gradually decreases along the direction of water flow. The first-level thick film heating tube 1 is suitable for heating the water flowing into the water channel into wet steam. The second-level thick film heating tube 2 is provided with a steam channel inside, specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the steam channel is a straight channel 7. The steam channel is connected to the water channel, and the secondary thick film heating tube 2 is suitable for heating the wet steam transported by the water channel into dry steam; the dry steam can be high-temperature dry steam. The primary thick film heating tube 1 and the secondary thick film heating tube 2 are an integrally connected structure. The first temperature sensor 3 is arranged in contact with the surface of the primary thick film heating tube 1, and the first temperature sensor 3 is suitable for obtaining the surface temperature of the primary thick film heating tube 1. The second temperature sensor 4 is arranged near the outlet of the steam channel, and the second temperature sensor 4 is suitable for obtaining the temperature at the outlet of the steam channel. The controller 5 is signal-connected to the first temperature sensor 3, the second temperature sensor 4, the primary thick film heating tube 1, the secondary thick film heating tube 2, and the power water supply component.
[0030] The specific control process of the controller 5 is briefly described as follows:
[0031] For the first-level thick-film heating tube 1, the first temperature setting value for water boiling and the maximum temperature threshold that the first-level thick-film heating tube 1 can be set in advance through the controller 5; when the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 3 is lower than the first temperature setting value, the first temperature sensor 3 feeds back the temperature signal to the controller 5 to control the power water supply component, reduce the water intake, and increase the power of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1 to increase the heat generation; when the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 3 is higher than the first temperature setting value, the first temperature sensor 3 feeds back the temperature signal to the controller 5 to control the power water supply component, increase the water intake, and reduce the power of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1 to reduce the heat generation. In addition, when the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 3 reaches the maximum temperature threshold that the first-level thick-film heating tube 1 can withstand, the first temperature sensor 3 feeds back the temperature signal to the controller 5 to stop the heating of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1.
[0032] For the secondary thick-film heating tube 2, a second temperature setting value that the dry steam needs to reach can be set in advance through the controller 5. When the temperature monitored by the second temperature sensor 4 is lower than the second temperature setting value, the second temperature sensor 4 feeds back a temperature signal to the controller 5 to increase the power of the secondary thick-film heating tube 2 and increase the heat generation; when the temperature monitored by the second temperature sensor 4 is higher than the second temperature setting value, the second temperature sensor 4 feeds back a temperature signal to the controller 5 to reduce the power of the secondary thick-film heating tube 2 and reduce the heat generation.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the reflux structure 9 is provided in the steam channel, and is suitable for returning the condensed water after the dry steam is cooled to the water channel. Furthermore, the reflux structure 9 is provided with a tapered wall surface.
[0034] The heating elements of the first-level thick film heating tube 1 and the second-level thick film heating tube 2 described in this application are thick film heating elements. Among them, thick film refers to a film layer with a thickness of tens to hundreds of microns formed on a substrate by printing and sintering technology; the material used to make the above film layer is called a thick film material; the film layer formed by printing and sintering is a thick film circuit. When current passes through the thick film circuit, due to the resistance of the thick film circuit, the electrical energy will be converted into thermal energy, causing the temperature of the thick film surface to rise, thereby achieving the purpose of heating water. Thick film heating elements have many advantages such as high power density, fast heating speed, high operating temperature, fast heating rate, high mechanical strength, small size, easy installation, uniform heating, long life, energy saving and environmental protection.
[0035] The working process of the steam generator for producing dry steam described in this application is briefly described as follows: the first-level thick-film heating tube 1 heats the high-pressure, low-flow, room-temperature water pumped in by the high-pressure water pump to boiling, generating wet steam. Through the structure of the spiral water channel 6 and the pressure of the water pump 8, the water is heated in the front section of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1, and the wet steam flows in the rear section of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1. The water to be heated does not rise to the rear section of the first-level thick-film heating tube 1. The interior of the linear channel 7 is filled with wet steam. After being heated by the second-level thick-film heating tube 2, high-pressure dry steam is formed. The dry steam is discharged from the outlet above the linear channel 7, and the condensed water flows back into the spiral water channel 6. At the same time, the second-level thick-film heating tube 2 can also increase the temperature of the dry steam through continuous heating.
[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations shall fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
