[0043] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 7 , the upper side of the middle furnace body 113 is separated by a rib plate into flow channels, which are respectively a second flow channel section 1032 of the first vaporization flow channel, the second flow channel section is identified by dashed arrows, and the direction of the arrows shows the flow direction of the medium. The middle furnace body has a third communication hole 119, a fourth communication hole 120, a first downcomer 121 and a second downcomer 122. The third communication hole 119 and the fourth communication hole 120 are used to communicate the lower flow channel layer 109 and the upper flow channel layer 108. In order to generate heat, the middle furnace body is embedded with a second electric heating tube as a second electric heating device 102.

[0044] The furnace cover 114 is provided with a first medium inlet 105 and a second medium inlet 106.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-5As shown, when the lower furnace body 112, the middle furnace body 113 and the furnace cover 114 are stacked together, the first medium inlet 105 is connected to the first downcomer 121, and the lower end of the first downcomer 121 points to the starting point of the first flow passage section 1031 in the lower furnace body. The second medium inlet 106 is connected to the second downcomer 122, and the lower end of the second downcomer 122 points to the starting point of the third flow passage section 1033 in the lower furnace body. The lower flow passage layer 109 is formed between the lower furnace body 112 and the middle furnace body 113, and the upper flow passage layer 108 is formed between the middle furnace body 113 and the furnace cover 114. The first vapor flow passage including the first flow passage section 1031, the second flow passage section 1032 and the third flow passage section 1033 meanders in the lower flow passage layer and the upper flow passage layer, and in the flow direction, the first medium inlet 105, the first downcomer 121, the first flow passage section 1031, the third communication hole 119, the second flow passage section 1032, the fourth communication hole 120, the third flow passage section 1033 and the first communication hole 116 are sequentially connected in turn.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3-4 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 shown, the first group of steam holes 201 and the second group of steam holes 202 are distributed in concentric circles on the panel 200, and the first group of steam holes 201 and the second group of steam holes 202 are separated by the second partition wall 205. The panel 200 is assembled on the front side of the steam collection cavity cover 115, i.e. the panel is located at the front end of the vaporization furnace, the first partition wall 118 is connected to the second partition wall 205, and the first steam collection cavity 110 and the second steam collection cavity 111 are formed between the panel and the steam collection cavity cover, the first steam collection cavity 110 connects the first group of steam holes 201 with the first communication hole 116 and the first vapor flow passage, and the second steam collection cavity 111 connects the second group of steam holes 202 with the second communication hole 117 and the second vapor flow passage. In Figure 8 , Figure 10 , the first steam collection cavity 110 and the second steam collection cavity 111 are shown in the dotted line with arrows and the dash-dot line, and the arrows therein only schematically represent the flow direction of the steam, and do not represent that the steam strictly flows in the flow direction in actual work.

[0047] As shown in the figure, the lengths and paths of the first vapor flow passage and the second vapor flow passage 104 are different, the number and aperture of the first group of steam holes 201 and the second group of steam holes 202 are different, and in addition, the flow rates of water from the first medium inlet 105 and the second medium inlet 106 are different, so that the intensity of steam output from the first group of steam holes and the second group of steam holes is different, which is reflected in at least one of the pressure and the jet distance, and the distance of steam jetting is more intuitive.

[0048] In order to control the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102 uniformly, the bottom of the boiler 100 is provided with a temperature controller 107, which is located below the lower ends of the first and second downcomers 121 and 122 so that the water levels of the first and second downcomers 121 and 122 are close to the temperature controller. When the heat generated by the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102 makes the temperature of the boiler body too high, the temperature controller 107 controls the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102 to stop generating heat. When the heat generated by the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102 makes the temperature of the boiler body too low, the temperature controller 107 controls the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102 to start generating heat. In a specific implementation, the boiler can also be provided with temperature controllers corresponding to the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102, respectively, to control the first and second electric heating devices 101 and 102.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, another shower-type boiler is provided, which also includes a boiler and a panel. Different from the embodiment 1, the boiler has only one flow channel layer, and the first and second water vapor flow channels 103 and 104 are distributed in the same flow channel layer. Compared with the embodiment 1, the shower-type boiler of the embodiment 2 lacks a middle furnace body and a second electric heating device, and the rest of the structure is similar to that of the embodiment 1. The same parts are not described herein. Figures 11-12 As shown in FIG. 2, the lengths and paths of the first and second water vapor flow channels 103 and 104 are different, the numbers and diameters of the first and second groups of steam holes on the panel are different, and the flow rates of the water from the first and second medium inlets are also different. Therefore, the intensities of the steam output from the first and second groups of steam holes are different, which is reflected in at least one of the pressure and the spraying distance, and the spraying distance is more intuitive. Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 3, a steam releasing device is provided, which is exemplified by a steam brush 300. The steam brush 300 includes the shower-type boiler 301 of the embodiment 1 or the embodiment 2, and is also provided with a water tank 302, a water pump 303, a switching valve 304, and a steam switch 305. In operation, the steam switch is pressed down, and the water pump delivers the water stored in the water tank to one medium inlet of the shower-type boiler through the switching valve, and the shower-type boiler converts the water into steam and outputs the steam from the corresponding steam hole. By operating the switching valve, the water delivered by the water pump can be directed to another medium inlet, so as to change the steam spraying mode. The switching valve can be an electromagnetic valve, such as an electromagnetic three-way valve, or a mechanical valve, such as a two-position three-way valve.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, another shower-type boiler is provided, which also includes a boiler and a panel. Different from the embodiment 1, the boiler has only one flow channel layer, and the first and second water vapor flow channels 103 and 104 are distributed in the same flow channel layer. Compared with the embodiment 1, the shower-type boiler of the embodiment 2 lacks a middle furnace body and a second electric heating device, and the rest of the structure is similar to that of the embodiment 1. The same parts are not described herein.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 4, the lengths and paths of the first and second water vapor flow channels 103 and 104 are different, the numbers and diameters of the first and second groups of steam holes on the panel are different, and the flow rates of the water from the first and second medium inlets are also different. Therefore, the intensities of the steam output from the first and second groups of steam holes are different, which is reflected in at least one of the pressure and the spraying distance, and the spraying distance is more intuitive. Figures 15-17 ​As shown, it is the third shower type boiler, which also includes the boiler 100 and the panel 200. Compared with the embodiment 1, the difference is that the panel 200 is arranged at the bottom of the boiler 100, and the first group of steam holes and the second group of steam holes on the panel are distributed differently, and the remaining structure is borrowed from the embodiment 1, and the same parts are not described.

[0054] As shown Figure 18 As shown is another steam releasing device expressed by taking the steam electric iron 400 as an example. The steam electric iron contains the boiler 100 of the embodiment 3, and is also configured with a switching valve and a steam switch. This steam electric iron can be directly converted from water to steam for ironing with a self-contained water tank, or can be connected to the base through a pipe, the base first converts water to steam, then delivers the steam to the iron, and finally outputs steam with higher temperature and higher dryness from the steam holes after further heating and drying of the steam in the iron.
