Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam accessories, in particular to a steam seat that can be placed and used at multiple angles. Background Art
[0002] A steam generator (commonly known as a boiler) is a mechanical device that uses the thermal energy of fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam. A hanging iron, an iron, and a steam foot basin are relatively common devices with a steam generating function, which generally include a water storage chamber, a heating chamber with a steam outlet, a flow channel connecting the water storage chamber and the heating chamber, and a heating element disposed in the heating chamber.
[0003] For example, steam irons are well known as devices for providing clothes smoothing, comprising a water reservoir within the body of the iron, and comprising a heated soleplate having a surface for contacting clothes. Water may be heated by the soleplate or a separate heater to produce steam, which may be delivered continuously through holes in the soleplate, or the steam may be controlled to be delivered in response to activation by a trigger or the like, or as a result of certain detected conditions.
[0004] Steam generators have since evolved to use irons with a heated soleplate but without a water reservoir, wherein the iron is connected to a steam generating base unit comprising a water reservoir and a heating device for generating steam. Steam and electricity are usually delivered to the iron via a steam duct and electrical wires, which are arranged within a flexible hose, which allows the iron to be manipulated independently of the base unit. The iron itself of such a steam generator is usually designed like a conventional iron with a handle portion to allow manipulation of the iron, in particular the soleplate of the iron, for steaming and ironing clothing, etc. A steam generator can generate a larger amount of steam over a longer period of time than a conventional iron, because the steam is generated within the base unit. The base unit is usually larger than the iron and includes a larger water reservoir and a more powerful steam generator.
[0005] In the existing iron products of this type, the structural form of the steam generating base is relatively simple. For example, patent document CN110088384A discloses a portable steam generator, including a steam generator base, the steam generator base includes a water reservoir and a steam generating unit, the steam generating unit is operably fluidly connected to the water reservoir to supply water to the steam generating unit. The portable steam generator also includes an iron, the iron includes a bottom plate with an opening so that steam can pass through the bottom plate. The portable steam generator also includes a flexible hose, the flexible hose is located between the steam generating base and the iron, the flexible hose includes a steam conduit, the steam conduit is operably fluidly connected to the steam generating unit and the inner cavity of the iron to supply steam to the iron. From the description and drawings of the above patent documents, it can be inferred without a doubt that in this type of iron, the placement and use posture of its steam generator (steam generating base) are unique, its use method is single, and it is inconvenient to move. It can only be placed horizontally on the table. If the posture is changed, it may become unusable or even cause safety risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved steam generating base that can provide a variety of placement and use postures to meet different usage needs. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 11 A steam seat that can be placed at multiple angles, comprising a steam seat shell 1, a control circuit board 2 arranged in the steam seat shell 1, a steam generator 46 and a water supply component, wherein the steam seat shell 1 is provided with a steam exhaust port 3, the steam generator 46 is respectively connected with the water supply component and the steam exhaust port 3, and the steam seat shell 1 has at least a first angle placement position and a second angle placement position;
[0045] The steam generator 46 at least comprises a first heating surface 4 and a second heating surface 5, wherein the first heating surface 4 is adapted to the first angle placement position, the second heating surface 5 is adapted to the second angle placement position, and the first heating surface 4 and the second heating surface 5 are distributed in an "L" shape or approximately in an "L" shape;
[0046] When the steam seat shell 1 is in a first angle placement position, the first heating surface 4 works and heats the water in the steam generator 46; when the steam seat shell 1 is in a second angle placement position, the second heating surface 5 works and heats the water in the steam generator 46.
[0047] The shape of the conventional steam generator 46 is mostly rectangular, with a heating element embedded in the bottom. The water is heated and evaporated when passing through, and flows out after forming steam. However, it is obvious that this steam generator 46 is not suitable for steam seats with multi-angle placement positions. When placed vertically, dry burning will occur, and the water cannot be effectively heated into steam. A preferred structure of the steam generator 46 is provided herein, specifically: the first heating surface 4 and the second heating surface 5 are distributed in an "L" shape or an approximately "L" shape. The steam generator 46 adopts the above structure, so that the water inside the steam seat can have a larger effective heating area regardless of whether it is placed at the first angle or the second angle, so that the water can have a high efficiency of heating and evaporation efficiency at all angles, providing users with a stable use experience.
[0048] Reference Figure 1-2 Preferably, the first angle placement position described in the present invention is a horizontal placement position, and the second angle placement position is a vertical placement position. Horizontal and vertical are the most common placement positions, which can take into account the use requirements of most scenes. Of course, the steam seat shell 1 in the present invention can also have more angle placement positions (such as an inclined placement between horizontal and vertical), which is not specifically limited here.
[0049] In different placement positions, if the first heating surface 4, the second heating surface 5, etc. work at the same time, firstly, the energy consumption is higher and the economic efficiency is poor; secondly, some of the heating surfaces may have dry burning defects, which can easily cause damage to related heating components.
[0050] Reference Figure 4 In order to prevent the above problems, the steam generator 46 is embedded with a first heating element 6 and a second heating element 7 which are independent of each other. The first heating element 6 is arranged at the first heating surface 4, and the second heating element 7 is arranged at the second heating element 7. The first heating element 6 and the second heating element 7 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 2, respectively. With the above preferred structure, the first heating element 6 and the second heating element 7 can operate independently, that is, the user can selectively enable one of the heating elements and turn off the other heating elements according to the specific angle placement state during use, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and can prevent dry burning and extend the service life of components.
[0051] Reference Figure 5In another embodiment, a complete integrated heating element 8 is embedded in the steam generator 46, and the integrated heating element 8 has a first heating section 9 and a second heating section 10. The first heating section 9 is arranged at the first heating surface 4, and the second heating section 10 is arranged at the second heating surface 5. By setting the first heating section 9 and the second heating section 10, no matter what angle the steam seat shell 1 is placed at, the integrated heating element 8 is at least partially always in the water to be heated to prevent dry burning, and the water can be heated and evaporated.
[0052] When the integrated heating element 8 is used, there are also certain defects. Due to the structure of the steam seat shell 1 and the effect of gravity, one of the first heating section 9 and the second heating section 10 (the high-efficiency heating section) has a more obvious effect on the water to be heated, while the other (the low-efficiency heating section) may be partially in the air, and its heating efficiency is relatively low, resulting in heat energy waste. To this end, the steam generator 46 is provided with a first water inlet 11 and a second water inlet 12, the first water inlet 11 faces the second heating surface 5, and the second water inlet 12 faces the first heating surface 4. Through the above-mentioned structural setting, during use, when the steam seat shell 1 is in the first angle placement position, water enters the steam generator 46 from the first water inlet 11, passes through the second heating surface 5 and finally accumulates on the first heating surface 4; when the steam seat shell 1 is in the second angle placement position, water enters the steam generator 46 from the second water inlet 12, passes through the first heating surface 4 and finally accumulates on the second heating surface 5. That is, through the special setting of the water inlet direction, the water falls on the inefficient heating section as soon as it enters, absorbs the heat energy generated by the inefficient heating section as much as possible, and then accumulates on the high-efficiency heating section under the action of gravity, so as to improve the thermal energy utilization rate of the integrated heating element 8 and achieve energy-saving effect.
[0053] There are certain defects in the way that users manually control the heating element. First, it is not very convenient, and second, it is easy to make mistakes or forget to operate. For this reason, a position detection sensor 13 is provided in the shell, and the position detection sensor 13 is connected to the control circuit board 2. Through the setting of the position detection sensor 13, the current angle placement state of the steam seat shell 1 can be accurately and in real time monitored, and the information is fed back to the control circuit board 2. The control circuit board 2 automatically issues control instructions to each heating element, realizing the automatic switching and switching functions of the heating element, which is more intelligent, more convenient and safer to use.
[0054] The position detection sensor 13 has various structural modes. Preferably, the position detection sensor 13 is one or more of a contact induction detection sensor, a magnetic induction detection sensor, a buoyancy detection sensor, and a photoelectric induction detection sensor. Specifically, the contact induction detection sensor includes a detection shell with a detection channel 16, a gravity adaptive component, and a signal receiving device arranged at both ends of the detection channel 16, and the signal receiving device is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2; the detection channel 16 is in an "L" shape or approximately an "L" shape, and the gravity adaptive component is movably arranged in the detection channel 16 and can communicate with the signal receiving device. When in use, according to the change of the placement posture of the steam seat shell 1, the gravity adaptive component can adjust its state by itself, so that the signal receiving device senses the change of the gravity adaptive component and determines the current placement posture of the steam seat shell 1, and then feeds back to the control circuit board 2, so as to adaptively adjust and switch the working states of the first heating surface 4 and the second heating surface 5.
[0055] More specifically, three different position detection sensor 13 solutions are provided here:
[0056] 1. Reference Figure 7 , contact induction detection sensor: the signal receiving device includes a first contact switch 14 and a second contact switch 15, the first contact switch 14 and the second contact switch 15 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the detection channel 16, and the gravity adaptive member can contact with any one of the first contact switch 14 and the second contact switch 15. The gravity adaptive member is a spherical body 17, and the size of the detection channel 16 is larger than the size of the spherical body 17, so that the spherical body 17 can roll in the detection channel 16 under the action of gravity and trigger the corresponding contact switch to achieve self-regulation.
[0057] 2. Reference Figure 8 , magnetic induction detection sensor: the signal receiving device is a first reed switch assembly 18, the first reed switch assembly 18 is arranged at any one end or both ends of the detection channel 16, and the gravity adaptive component is a magnetic component 19.
[0058] 3. Reference Fig. 9, Floating force detection sensor: The position detection sensor 13 includes a detection box 20, a liquid 21 filled in the detection box 20, a float 22 floating on the liquid 21, and a signal receiving device connected to the float 22 in communication, and the signal receiving device is also electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. There is an air gap 23 between the liquid 21 and the detection box 20, and the signal receiving device includes a third contact switch 24 and a fourth contact switch 25 with waterproof performance. The third contact switch 24 and the fourth contact switch 25 are respectively arranged on two adjacent side walls of the detection box 20, and the float 22 is at least partially exposed in the air gap 23 and can contact any one of the third contact switch 24 and the fourth contact switch 25.
[0059] In the present invention, the water supply assembly includes a water storage container 26, an inlet and outlet pipeline 27 and a water pump 28. The water storage container 26 can be an external type, which is separated from the steam seat shell 1 and operated independently when adding water; it can also be a built-in water storage container 26, and the water storage container 26 is added with water through an external water pipe; it can also be a built-in water storage pipeline, which needs to be connected to an external water pipe at all times when in use to provide a continuous supply of water. Of course, there are many other types of specific structural schemes of the above-mentioned water storage container 26, which are not specifically limited here. On the other hand, the inlet and outlet pipeline 27 is a water delivery pipeline, and the steam outlet 29 of the steam generator 46 is connected to the exhaust port 3 on the steam seat shell 1 through another steam delivery pipeline. The setting of the water pump 28 provides a certain pressure to the entire water circuit, so that the water in the water storage container 26 can flow into the steam generator 46 more quickly.
[0060] In order to save installation space, shorten the length of the inlet and outlet pipes 27, and optimize the overall structure of the water supply assembly, the present embodiment provides an installation cavity 30 in the water storage container 26, the installation cavity 30 is separated from the inner tank of the water storage container 26, and the water pump 28 is installed in the installation cavity 30. That is, an area is taken out from the water storage container 26 to form an independent installation cavity 30, thereby realizing the hidden installation of the water pump 28. In appearance, the water pump 28 and the water storage container 26 are integrated into one, which is more beautiful; on the other hand, the water pump 28 can be first installed on the water storage container 26 externally, and then the entire water storage container 26 is installed in the steam seat shell 1, so there is no need to design and form the installation structure of the water pump 28 on the steam seat shell 1, which is conducive to the overall structural layout, and greatly reduces the overall production and processing difficulty.
[0061] Furthermore, since the water storage container 26 is generally injection molded, if the water pump 28 is directly fixed on the water storage container 26, it is necessary to open a hole in the water storage container 26, which may cause the seal to be inadequate during use, resulting in a risk of water leakage. In order to solve the above-mentioned possible defects, a slot 31 is formed in the installation cavity 30, a metal fixing plate 32 is inserted into the slot 31, and the water pump 28 is installed on the metal fixing plate 32. This fixing method is more firm and reliable, and there is no need to open a hole in the water storage container 26, which completely eliminates the risk of water leakage.
[0062] The first angle placement position and the second angle placement position of the steam seat shell 1 can achieve the position retention function by its own shape. However, when the overall shape of the steam seat shell 1 is designed to be relatively round, it is best to design some auxiliary structures to make the steam seat shell 1 more stable when placed in use. For example: when the steam seat shell 1 is approximately in the shape of a water drop, it will be unstable when placed directly and it is easy to fall. Fig.11 Therefore, a first support leg assembly 33 is provided on one of the outer sides of the steam seat shell 1, and under the action of the first support leg assembly 33, the steam seat shell 1 can be kept at the first angle placement position; a second support leg assembly 34 is provided on the other outer side of the steam seat shell 1, and under the action of the second support leg assembly 34, the steam seat shell 1 can be kept at the second angle placement position. Through the respective configuration and use of the first support leg assembly 33 and the second support leg assembly, the steam seat shell 1 can be stably kept at the first angle placement position or the second angle placement position.
[0063] Preferably, the first supporting leg assembly 33 and the second supporting leg assembly 34 may adopt a roller structure, so that the steam seat housing 1 can also achieve a mobile working function during use.
[0064] Generally, the steam seats on the market do not have a hand-held structure, so they need to be held with both hands during use and movement, which is rather troublesome. In order to make the movement of the steam seat easier, a handle 35 is also provided on the steam seat shell 1. More specifically, the handle 35 includes a hand-held portion 36 and connecting portions 37 located at both ends of the hand-held portion 36, the connecting portion 37 is fixedly connected to the steam seat shell 1, and there is a gap between the hand-held portion 36 and the steam seat shell 1 to form an insertion space 38 for the hand to enter; the connecting portion 37 is also provided with a cover 39, and the cover 39 cooperates with the outer side wall of the connecting portion 37 to form an accessory storage slot 40. When in use, the user holds the steam seat with one hand through the handle 35 and holds the iron with the other hand, so as to facilitate the overall movement of the device more conveniently. On the other hand, the user can also carry the steam seat on the shoulder for use, hold the handle 35 with one hand to prevent the steam seat from falling from the shoulder, and control the iron with the other hand to iron, thus realizing the function of the iron with the steam seat to iron while moving, filling the gap in the market.
[0065] Reference Fig.10 In order to facilitate the production, installation and use of the handle 35 and the steam seat shell 1, a guide slot 41 is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting portion 37, and a connecting piece 42 cooperating with the handle 35 is provided on the outer wall of the steam seat shell 1. The connecting piece 42 is positioned relative to the guide slot 41 and can move along the guide slot 41. Among them, the intersection of the handle portion and the connecting portion 37 has a first wedge-shaped surface 43 inclined inward, and the steam seat shell 1 is provided with a second wedge-shaped surface 44, and the first wedge-shaped surface 43 and the second wedge-shaped surface 44 are against each other. The two wedge-shaped surfaces are against each other, which, on the one hand, prevents the handle 35 from moving further relative to the steam seat shell 1, indicating that the handle 35 has been assembled in place, so as to improve the positioning accuracy and production assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can also provide better support and play a role in preventing the components from falling off.
[0066] Reference Figure 6 Preferably, the handle 35 also has a retractable shoulder strap, which can be stretched or retracted relative to the handle 35, so that the user can carry the steam seat shell 1 as a whole on the body or hang it on a support through the retractable shoulder strap, which is convenient for carrying and storage and suitable for different heights.
[0067] The present invention takes the steam seat having a horizontal placement position and a vertical placement position as an example, and its working principle is as follows: when the user adjusts the steam seat shell 1 to the horizontal placement position, the first heating surface 4 is the bottom surface, and the first heating element 6 corresponding to the first heating surface 4 starts working (while the second heating element 7 stops working), the water pump 28 starts to make the water in the water tank enter the steam generator 46, and under the action of gravity, the water naturally accumulates on the first heating surface 4 and is effectively heated and evaporated into steam, and then is discharged to the outside of the steam seat shell 1 through the steam outlet 29 and the exhaust port 3 in turn; when the user adjusts the steam seat shell 1 to the vertical placement position, the second heating surface 5 is the bottom surface, and the second heating element 7 corresponding to the second heating surface 5 starts working (while the first heating element 6 stops working), the water pump 28 starts to make the water in the water tank enter the steam generator 46, and under the action of gravity, the water naturally accumulates on the second heating surface 5 and is effectively heated and evaporated into steam, and then is discharged to the outside of the steam seat shell 1 through the steam outlet 29 and the exhaust port 3 in turn.
[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
