[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application discloses a care device for generating continuous and efficient steam, comprising:

[0038] The steam generating device 100 comprises a heating device 3, an air outlet valve 4 and a water inlet valve 5, and is used to generate heating steam;

[0039] The delivery pipeline 300 is used to connect the steam generating device 100 and the steam output device 200, and to deliver the heating steam generated by the steam generating device 100 to the steam output device 200;

[0040] The steam output device 200 is used to output the received heating steam to the target object;

[0041] The heating device 3 includes at least two layers of heating tubes, namely an upper heating tube 301 and a lower heating tube 302. The lower heating tube 302 is used to heat water to vaporize the water, and the upper heating tube 301 is used to further heat the vaporized steam.

[0042] The nursing device for generating continuous and efficient steam disclosed in the present application improves the structure of the steam generating device 100, and sets the heating device 3 in the steam generating device 100 to a structure including an upper and lower layer of heating tubes, wherein the lower layer of heating tubes 302 is used to heat water to vaporize the water into steam, and the upper layer of heating tubes 301 is used to further heat and increase the temperature of the vaporized steam to improve the temperature and quality of the steam, so that the steam generated by the steam generating device 100 can be continuously supplied to the steam output device 200, and ensure that the output steam is always in a high temperature state, so as to maintain the stability and continuity of the steam and improve the effect of steam nursing.

[0043] The care device for generating continuous and efficient steam described in the present application realizes continuous, efficient and stable output of steam through a double-layer heating tube design and separately heats water and steam, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of steam generation and meeting the user's needs for high-quality clothing care.

[0044] As a preferred example of the present application, the power of the upper heating tube 301 is P1, and the power of the lower heating tube 302 is P2, where P1<P2. Since a large amount of energy (latent heat of vaporization) is required for water to vaporize from liquid to steam, the lower heating tube 302 requires a larger power (P2) to provide sufficient energy for an efficient vaporization process; and the energy required for further heating of the steam is relatively small, so the power (P1) of the upper heating tube 301 can be smaller; the above power distribution optimizes energy utilization, the high-power lower heating tube 302 accelerates vaporization, makes the heating process more efficient, increases the steam generation rate, and ensures continuous steam output, the low-power upper heating tube 301 accurately controls the temperature, uses lower power to further heat the steam, increases the steam temperature, and avoids energy waste caused by overheating, thereby ensuring the stability of steam output during the entire steam care process and avoiding the influence of steam temperature fluctuations on the care effect.

[0045] This setting achieves optimal distribution of energy, ensures the efficiency, stability and energy saving of the steam generation and output process, and significantly improves the overall performance and user experience of the clothing care device.

[0046] As a preferred example of the present application, the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 are arranged horizontally, the upper heating tube 301 is connected to the external terminal through the first connecting tube 303, and the lower heating tube 302 is connected to the external terminal through the second connecting tube 304. The first connecting tube 303, the second connecting tube 304 and the plane where the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 are located are arranged roughly vertically. This arrangement arranges the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 horizontally, making the structure of the heating device 3 more compact, helping to save the space occupied by the steam generating device 100, making the device more compact as a whole, and improving its scope of application. At the same time, the horizontally arranged heating tube helps to evenly distribute heat and improve heating efficiency. In actual use, after water is vaporized by the lower heating tube 302, the steam will naturally rise to the upper heating tube 301 for secondary heating. This horizontal arrangement ensures high efficiency in the heat transfer process.

[0047] This setting optimizes the space utilization, heat conduction efficiency and maintenance convenience of the equipment, enhances the safety of the equipment and the stability of steam output, while simplifying the production and assembly process, significantly improving the overall performance and user experience of the clothing care device.

[0048] As a preferred example of the present application, the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 in the heating device 3 are formed by a heating tube spirally coiled at different heights, or the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 in the heating device 3 are composed of two independent heating tubes. This setting discloses a specific way to form two layers of heating tubes in the heating device 3, which can be formed by a heating tube spirally coiled at different heights, making the overall structure more compact, saving internal space of the equipment, facilitating miniaturized design, reducing the number of components, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly process, and reducing production costs; or it can be formed by two independent heating tubes, consisting of two independent heating tubes, allowing each heating tube to be independently controlled, and the power and working time of each heating tube can be adjusted according to demand, optimizing energy utilization, and improving operational flexibility. At the same time, it is easy to maintain and replace, reducing maintenance costs and complexity. In the example of the present application, when the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 are the same heating tube, the internal material of the heating tube is configured according to the power required in different sections. The preferred solution is to set the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 in different power sections in one heating tube.

[0049] This setting ensures the stability and continuity of steam generation by optimizing the design and control of the heating tube, thereby improving the effect of clothing care. It enables the equipment to adapt to different clothing care needs, provide high-quality steam care services, and meet the diverse needs of users.

[0050] As a preferred example of the present application, the heating device 3 further includes a spacer 305 , wherein the spacer 305 is located between the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 , and a plurality of through holes 306 are arranged on the spacer 305 . In the example of the present application, in order to prevent the water droplets splashed during the boiling process from affecting the humidity of the steam, a spacer 305 is provided between the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302 as a barrier to block the water droplets. By providing the spacer 305 between the upper heating tube 301 and the lower heating tube 302, the water droplets splashed during the boiling process can be effectively prevented from directly entering the upper heating tube 301 and the steam flow, which helps to maintain the purity of the steam, reduce the moisture content in the steam, and improve the dryness and quality of the steam; the multiple through holes 306 provided on the spacer 305 allow the steam to pass smoothly while blocking the water droplets. This design ensures that the steam can effectively remove excess moisture when passing through the spacer, further controls and adjusts the humidity of the steam, and prevents the over-humidified steam from having an adverse effect on the clothing care effect. At the same time, the provision of the spacer 305 reduces the impact of water droplets and temperature fluctuations on the upper heating tube, protects the long-term stable operation and service life of the heating tube, and improves the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0051] The above structural design effectively improves the quality and dryness of steam, optimizes the steam heating process, protects the upper heating tube, improves the efficiency and reliability of the equipment, and ultimately improves the clothing care effect and user experience, reduces the risk of potential failures such as corrosion and scaling, and ensures that the equipment can provide continuous, efficient, and high-quality steam output during use, meeting users' needs for high-quality clothing care.

[0052] As a preferred example of the present application, the air outlet valve 4 is arranged at the upper end of the steam generating device 100 and connected to the delivery pipeline 300, and the water inlet valve 5 is arranged at the bottom of the steam generating device 100. In the example of the present application, since the lower layer heating pipe 302 is a water heating pipe, the water inlet of the steam generating device 100 is arranged at the bottom of the entire assembly and connected to the external water inlet pipeline through the water inlet valve 5, so as to ensure that the water first enters the lower part of the heating device, and the water naturally flows into and concentrates in the heating area under the action of gravity, which is conducive to the lower layer heating pipe 302 to quickly and effectively heat the water and vaporize it into steam; the generated steam rises to the upper layer heating pipe 301, and is further heated and the temperature is increased. Due to the natural rising characteristics of steam, the air outlet valve 4 is arranged at the upper end of the steam generating device 100, which can ensure that the steam can smoothly pass through the air outlet valve 4 into the delivery pipeline 300 after being generated, avoiding the retention and condensation of steam inside the device, and ensuring the stability and continuity of steam output.

[0053] This setting optimizes the steam generation and transmission path through reasonable structural design, improves the efficiency, stability and safety of the steam care device, ensures continuous and efficient steam output, reduces energy waste, and improves the safety performance of the equipment.

[0054] As a preferred example of the present application, the steam generating device 100 comprises a lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2, wherein the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2 are detachably connected and a cavity is formed therebetween for the heating device 3 to work and generate steam, the water inlet valve 5 is arranged at the bottom of the lower shell 1, and the air outlet valve 4 is arranged at the top of the upper shell 2. The detachable design between the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2 allows the user to conveniently disassemble the device for internal cleaning and maintenance, which helps to keep the steam generating device 100 clean and operate efficiently, and prolong the service life of the device. At the same time, the bottom water inlet and top air outlet design optimizes the water flow and steam discharge, reduces safety hazards, and improves the steam quality and output efficiency.

[0055] The present application discloses a care device for generating continuous and efficient steam. By arranging heating structures with different powers in the same heating device 3, the startup time is shortened, the use efficiency is improved, the demand for fast ironing is met, the user experience is improved as a whole, and the user satisfaction and brand reputation are enhanced.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
