[0003] The steam generating part of the open steam generator is connected to the inner pot, and the steam is directly released into the inner pot after heating. Food, impurities, etc. can easily enter the steam generating part of this steam generator, which can easily cause pollution and odor.

[0004] The steam generating component of the closed steam generator is arranged outside the inner tank, and the steam is transported to the inner tank through a pipeline. This steam generator can only use pure water. If other water is used, scale is easily formed and difficult to clean. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims at the above-mentioned problems, overcomes at least one disadvantage and provides a steam generator which is easy to disassemble.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A steam generator that is easy to disassemble, comprising:

[0008] Liner;

[0009] A steam generating component is fixed relatively to the inner container, and the steam generating component has a steam outlet;

[0010] The steam guiding component has a plurality of steam outlet holes, the steam outlet holes are located in the inner pot, the steam guiding component can be detachably mounted on the inner pot or the steam generating component, and the steam guiding component has a steam inlet docking with the steam outlet holes.

[0011] The working principle of the steam generator is that the steam generating component generates steam which enters the steam guide component through the steam outlet and finally enters the inner tank through the steam outlet hole of the steam guide component.

[0012] The steam guide component can be detachably mounted on the inner pot or the steam generating component. This detachable design facilitates the removal of the steam guide component, thereby making it easy to clean the steam guide component and the steam generating component.

[0013] The "steam generating component is relatively fixed to the inner container" mentioned in the present application refers to the situation where the steam generating component is fixed to other components in addition to being directly fixed to the inner container.

[0014] The present application specifies that the steam outlet is located in the inner pot, but does not specify that the steam guide component is entirely located in the inner pot; a portion of the steam guide component may be located outside the inner pot.

[0022] In order to achieve the steam outlet direction being obliquely toward the bottom wall of the inner pot or directly facing the bottom wall of the inner pot, it can be achieved through a gradient side wall. The outer contour of the side wall of the steam guide component becomes larger as it goes upwards. The steam outlet hole is arranged on such a side wall so that the steam outlet direction is obliquely toward the bottom wall of the inner pot. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the steam guide component has a conical side wall, and the steam outlet hole is located on the conical side wall; the upper surface of the steam guide component has a convex water-conducting structure.

[0023] The conical side wall structure not only makes the steam outlet direction of the steam outlet oblique to the bottom wall of the inner pot, but also plays a role in separating and collecting condensed water.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, an end portion of the steam outlet of the steam generating component is higher than the bottom wall of the inner pot.

[0030] The end of the steam outlet is higher than the bottom wall of the inner pot, and this design can prevent food from entering the steam guide component and the steam generating component.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing ring is provided between the steam guide component and the steam outlet of the steam generating component; and the inner container has a heat-insulating layer.

[0032] The sealing ring can play a sealing role, and the insulation layer can effectively keep warm and improve the steam utilization efficiency. In actual use, the insulation layer can be insulation cotton, and the insulation cotton can be fixed on the side wall of the inner tank through a fixing component.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the steam outlet of the steam guide component has a structure for preventing food from entering the steam guide component; and the steam guide component has a structure for preventing water from splashing out.

[0034] The structure for preventing water from flowing into the steam guide member may be a one-way valve. The structure for preventing water from splashing out may be a water baffle plate obliquely arranged near the steam outlet hole, through which boiling water is prevented from splashing on the steam outlet hole.
