[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1-3 The present application provides a steam sterilizer capable of disassembling the inner container for cleaning, which comprises a base 1, an inner container 2 arranged on the base 1 and used for generating steam, and a steamer 4 arranged on the base 1 and located at the upper part of the inner container 2. The steamer 4 is in communication with the inner container 2, and the steam generated by the inner container 2 can enter the steamer 4 and sterilize the articles (such as feeding bottles, nipples, etc.) placed in the steamer 4.

[0040] Specifically, a placing groove 11 with an open top is formed in the base 1, and the inner container 2 is detachably placed in the placing groove 11. The inner container 2 is internally formed with a water storage cavity 21 for storing water, and a heating element 3 is arranged on the base 1 and located at the bottom of the placing groove 11. When the inner container 2 is placed in the placing groove 11, the heating element 3 abuts against the bottom of the inner container 2 and heats the water in the water storage cavity 21 to generate steam. Preferably, the heating element 3 is a heating disc.

[0041] Therefore, by placing the heating element 3 in the placement slot 11 of the base 1 and separating it from the inner liner 2, the inner liner 2 can be detachably placed on the base 1, which makes it convenient to remove the inner liner 2 for cleaning, resulting in a more thorough cleaning and eliminating problems such as stains.

[0042] Furthermore, to improve the thermal conductivity of the inner liner 2, a sandwich layer 22 can be laminated to the outer bottom surface of the inner liner 2, and an outer bottom layer 23 is fixed to the outside of the sandwich layer 22; wherein, the sandwich layer 22 is made of a high thermal conductivity metal material. Preferably, both the inner liner 2 and the outer bottom layer 23 are made of stainless steel; the sandwich layer 22 is an aluminum plate.

[0043] Therefore, when the inner liner 2 is placed in the placement slot 11, the heating element 3 can abut against the outer bottom layer 23 and achieve rapid heat conduction to the inner liner 2 through the interlayer 22, thereby improving the efficiency of steam generation and thus improving the steam sterilization efficiency.

[0044] See also Figures 1-3 The steam sterilizer also includes a steamer basket 4 placed on the base 1 and located above the inner liner 2. The steamer basket 4 is made of stainless steel. Specifically, the steamer basket 4 includes a first steamer box 41 placed on the base 1 and located above the inner liner 2. The first steamer box 41 has a first sterilization chamber 411 formed inside. The bottom of the first steamer box 41 has a first vent 412 that connects the water storage chamber 21 and the first sterilization chamber 411. The first steamer box 41 also has several bottle holders 413 for placing baby bottles inside.

[0045] Therefore, the steam generated by the inner liner 2 can enter the first sterilization chamber 411 through several first vent holes 412 to achieve high-temperature sterilization of the baby bottle.

[0046] Furthermore, the steamer 4 also includes a second steamer box 42 placed on the first steamer box 41. The second steamer box 42 has a second sterilization chamber 421 formed inside it, and the bottom of the second steamer box 42 has a second air vent 422 that connects the first sterilization chamber 411 and the second sterilization chamber 421 respectively. In addition, the steamer 4 also includes a steamer lid 43 that covers the top of the second steamer box 42 and seals the second sterilization chamber 421.

[0047] Thus, the high-temperature steam entering the first sterilization chamber 411 can enter the second sterilization chamber 421 through several second vents 422, thereby sterilizing the nipples, spoons and other items placed in the second sterilization chamber 421 at high temperature.

[0048] Therefore, both the inner liner 2 and the steamer 4 are made of stainless steel, which can avoid problems such as aging and powdering of plastic products as they are used for a long time. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of residual plastic odor, making the product safer and more hygienic.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] See Figure 4 The difference between the steam sterilizer in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the inner liner 2 and the placement of the heating element 3. In this embodiment, the heating element 3 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 2; when the inner liner 2 is placed in the placement slot 11, the inner liner 2 is electrically connected to the base 1 to supply power to the heating element 3. Preferably, the heating element 3 is a heating plate.

[0051] Specifically, it also includes an upper coupler 25 located below the heating element 3 and a chassis 24 covering the bottom of the inner liner 2. The chassis 24 and the inner liner 2 enclose a mounting cavity, and the heating element 3 and the upper coupler 25 are both located in the mounting cavity. The bottom of the chassis 24 also has an opening that connects to the upper coupler 25.

[0052] In addition, the base 1 is also provided with a lower coupler located at the bottom of the placement slot 11. When the inner liner 2 is placed in the placement slot 11, the upper coupler 25 is coupled to the lower coupler to achieve electrical conduction and power supply to the heating element 3.

[0053] Therefore, by placing the heating element 3 at the bottom of the inner liner 2 and making the inner liner 2 detachably electrically connected to the base 1, it is also possible to separate the inner liner 2 onto the base 1, thereby facilitating the removal of the inner liner 2 for cleaning, resulting in a more thorough cleaning and eliminating problems such as stains.
