Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ironing machines, and in particular to a steam generator and a steam ironing machine. Background Art
[0002] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218763318U discloses a steam generator comprising: a body, on which a plurality of heating chambers are provided; a heating body, which is arranged in the body and is used to heat water in the plurality of heating chambers; a cover plate, which is arranged on the upper side of the body and is provided with a water inlet joint, which is connected to the heating chamber; an ironing board, which is arranged on the lower side of the body and is provided with a steam hole connected to the heating chamber; and a plurality of steam ejection pipes arranged along the length direction of the cover plate are provided on the cover plate. Since the cover plate and the body of the steam generator are provided with a sealing ring, when the heating body is working, the heat of the body is difficult to be transferred to the cover plate and then to the steam ejection pipe due to the blocking of the sealing ring. Therefore, when the steam generator starts to work, condensed water will appear in the steam ejection pipe, and the steam ejection pipe will also eject condensed water while ejecting steam, resulting in a poor user experience and a poor ironing effect. When the steam ejection pipe is heated by steam, the steam ejection pipe will not have condensed water when it continues to work later, and only ejects high-temperature steam. Utility Model Content
