DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 A new wall-mounted steam engine includes a body 1, a water tank 2 and a pipe assembly 3. The water tank 2 is installed in the body 1, and a heating element 4 is installed in the water tank 2; the pipe assembly 3 includes a water inlet pipe 31, a water outlet pipe 32 and a steam exhaust pipe 33 vertically installed in the body 1, the water inlet pipe 31, the water outlet pipe 32 and the steam exhaust pipe 33 are connected to the water tank 2 and the outside respectively, and the steam exhaust pipe 33 is provided with a steam guide port 330 located above the liquid level of the water tank 2.

[0034] Specifically, when in use, water is injected into the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 31, and after the heating element 4 is started, the water temperature rises to form steam, and the steam floats above the liquid surface and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 33. By continuously injecting water and heating, steam can be continuously formed; when cleaning the water tank 2, the heating element 4 is turned off, and cleaning liquid is injected into the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 31 for soaking, and then the water outlet pipe 32 is opened to discharge the liquid to the outside.

[0035] In summary, the utility model forms steam by arranging a water tank 2 equipped with a heating element 4 in the machine body 1 to heat water, and designs a water inlet pipe 31, a water outlet pipe 32 and a steam exhaust pipe 33 for water injection, water discharge and steam exhaust respectively. Since the water inlet pipe 31, the water outlet pipe 32 and the steam exhaust pipe 33 are all installed vertically, the overall structure is simple and convenient for assembly and disassembly. The straight pipe design does not have welds, so that water flows unimpeded, preventing the pipe body from being deformed by the impact of the water flow, and effectively avoiding water leakage in the pipe assembly 3, thereby reducing safety hazards and extending the service life of the pipe body.

[0036] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The water inlet pipe 31, the water outlet pipe 32 and the steam exhaust pipe 33 are all located at the bottom of the water tank 2, and respectively penetrate the body 1 downward to the outside.

[0037] Specifically, this design allows the outlet ends of the water inlet pipe 31, the water outlet pipe 32 and the exhaust pipe 33 to be concentrated at the bottom of the body 1, so that the structure of the body 1 is neatly arranged, and the unified installation and connection of the pipelines are achieved, which is convenient for early assembly and later maintenance.

[0038] In addition, the vertically downward water inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet box 2 allow the water to flow smoothly, making it convenient for the water to enter and exit the water box 2. The water outlet pipe 32 under this design also allows the water flow to have a drop impact, thereby effectively avoiding pipe blockage. Compared with the existing curved exhaust pipe 33, the vertically downward exhaust pipe 33 allows the steam to flow out directly, thereby shortening the contact time between the steam and the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 33, reducing the loss of steam, and effectively improving the working efficiency of the steam engine.

[0039] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 During operation, air pressure will be generated in the water tank 2. If the pressure is too high, the water tank 2 will rupture. For this reason, the utility model also includes a safety valve 5. The pipeline assembly 3 also includes an air pressure pipe 34 vertically installed in the body 1. The air pressure pipe 34 is located at the bottom of the water tank 2 and connects the water tank 2 with the outside world. The safety valve 5 is installed on the air pressure pipe 34.

[0040] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the safety valve 5 is in a closed state, and the air pressure inside the water tank 2 is stable; when the internal pressure of the water tank 2 is too high, the safety valve 5 will open automatically, so that the air pressure pipe 34 connects the water tank 2 and the outside to release the pressure, ensuring that the air pressure inside and outside the water tank 2 is balanced.

[0041] Among them, the safety valve 5 is a physical switch, which will automatically open and close under certain circumstances. Since it is an existing product, its specific structure is not described in the utility model.

[0042] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The utility model also includes a control unit 6. A fixing frame 11 is provided inside the body 1. The fixing frame 11 is independently arranged and located at the front side of the water tank 2. The control unit 6 is installed on the fixing frame 11 and is electrically connected to the heating element 4. The control unit 6 controls the start and stop of the electric heating rod, thereby heating and evaporating the water in the water storage chamber.

[0043] Among them, the fixing frame 11 is independently installed on the front side of the water tank 2. On the one hand, it isolates the control unit 6 from the water tank 2 to prevent the heat of the water tank 2 from being directly transferred to the control unit 6. On the other hand, it is convenient for wiring and maintenance of the control unit 6.

[0044] It should be noted that the heating element 4 is of various types, such as electric heating wires, electric furnace tubes, etc., which are not limited in the present invention, and the control unit 6 is a control board and other control structures, which are all prior arts and are not elaborated in detail in the present invention.

[0045] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4The body 1 also includes a base shell 12 and a cover 13. The base shell 12 is provided with a heat dissipation groove 121 connected to the outside. The water tank 2 and the fixing frame 11 are both installed on the base shell 12. The cover 13 is U-shaped and can be detachably installed on the base shell 12 to enclose the water tank 2, the pipeline assembly 3 and the control unit 6.

[0046] Specifically, the design of the heat dissipation slot 121 facilitates heat dissipation inside the body 1; the U-shaped cover 13 can block multiple sides of the base shell 12 and provide an installation space for the control unit 6. When the cover 13 is opened, the internal accessories of the machine can be displayed, which is convenient for inspection, maintenance and replacement of accessories.

[0047] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The base shell 12 is also provided with a fixing hole 122, and the base shell 12 can be fixed to the wall by screws (not shown) passing through the fixing holes 122. This design not only facilitates the hanging of the body 1 on the wall, but also hides the screws, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0048] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The utility model also includes a drain valve 7 , which is installed on the water outlet pipe 32 and is electrically connected to the control unit 6 .

[0049] Specifically, during cleaning, the control unit 6 controls the drain valve 7 to open, thereby discharging the water in the water tank 2; after cleaning, the control unit 6 controls the drain valve 7 to close, and water is injected into the water tank 2 to continue working.

[0050] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 In order to facilitate the control of water supply timing, the utility model also includes a water inlet valve 8, which is installed on the water inlet pipe 31 and is electrically connected to the control unit 6.

[0051] Specifically, when in use, the water inlet valve 8 is connected to the water supply equipment (not shown in the figure), and the water inlet valve 8 is controlled to open by the control unit 6, so that the external water can be pumped into the water tank 2 through the water supply equipment for heating; if there is too much water in the water tank 2, the water inlet valve 8 is controlled to be closed by the control unit 6 to stop the water supply.

[0052] See attached Figure 3 -Attached Figure 6 The utility model also includes a sensing component 9, which includes a water level monitoring component 91 and a water temperature monitoring component 92. The water level monitoring component 91 and the water temperature monitoring component 92 are both installed in the water tank 2 to monitor the liquid level height and water temperature of the water tank 2 respectively. The control unit 6 is electrically connected to the water level monitoring component 91 and the water temperature monitoring component 92.

[0053] Specifically, during use, the water level sensor is used to detect the liquid level of the water tank 2. If the liquid level is detected to be higher than a specific value, the water supply is stopped to prevent the liquid level from being too high and causing water to enter the exhaust pipe 33. If the liquid level is detected to be lower than a specific value, the water supply is maintained to prevent the liquid level from being too low and causing dry burning. The water temperature sensor is used to monitor the water temperature of the water tank 2 to control the shutdown timing of the heating element 4. If the water temperature is low, the control unit 6 controls the heating element 4 to continue heating. If the water temperature is too high, the control unit 6 controls the heating element 4 to stop heating and reminds the staff to carry out maintenance in time.

[0054] There are various types of water level sensing components and water temperature sensing components. For ease of understanding, in this embodiment, the water level monitoring component 91 is a liquid level sensor; the water temperature monitoring component 92 is a metal probe, and the metal probe extends into the water tank 2.

[0055] Furthermore, the water temperature monitoring component 92 can also include a temperature measuring tube 920, which is installed in the water tank 2 and connected to the two side walls of the water tank 2. Therefore, the design of the temperature measuring tube 920 can, on the one hand, cooperate with the metal probe to further monitor the temperature of the water tank 2, play the role of multi-stage monitoring of water temperature, and improve the safety of use. On the other hand, it can also play the role of supporting the water tank 2, thereby preventing the water tank 2 from being compressed and deformed.

[0056] In summary, the control unit 6, the water level sensor and the water temperature sensor are used together to effectively solve the common problems existing in the operation of the steam engine; in addition, the sensing unit can be used in conjunction with the water inlet valve 8 to control the opening and closing timing of the water inlet valve 8 according to the liquid level and water temperature of the water tank 2, thereby realizing automatic water supply and automatic water cut-off, and improving the degree of automation of the steam engine.

[0057] See attached Figure 5 -Attached Fig. 9 After the water in the water tank 2 boils, it will fluctuate, making it difficult for the water level monitoring component 91 to normally detect the water level. For this reason, in the utility model, a partition 20 is provided in the water tank 2, and the partition 20 divides the interior of the water tank 2 into a heating chamber 21 and an isolation chamber 22, and the partition 20 is also provided with a first port 201 and a second port 202 connecting the heating chamber 21 and the isolation chamber 22, the first port 201 is located below the liquid level, and the second port 202 is located above the liquid level; the heating element 4 and the water temperature monitoring component 92 are both installed in the heating chamber 21, and the exhaust pipe 33 and the water level monitoring component 91 are both installed in the isolation chamber 22.

[0058] Specifically, when in use, the heating chamber 21 is connected to the isolation chamber 22 through the first opening 201, so that the liquid levels of the heating chamber 21 and the isolation chamber 22 are consistent, ensuring that the water level sensor can be used normally, and the second opening 202 allows the steam in the heating chamber 21 to smoothly enter the isolation chamber 22 and enter the exhaust pipe 33 through the steam guide port 330.

[0059] Among them, the partition 20 can block the boiling water in the heating chamber 21 and reduce the water fluctuation so that the water in the isolation chamber 22 remains stable, which is convenient for the use of water level sensors and can prevent the boiling water from splashing into the steam outlet 330 of the exhaust pipe 33 due to excessive fluctuations.

[0060] See attached Figure 4 -Attached Figure 5 The sensing component 9 also includes an overheat protector 93 , which is installed in the body 1 and located on the water tank 2 , and is electrically connected to the control unit 6 .

[0061] Specifically, when the heating element 4 is working, the water tank 2 will continue to heat up, and the overheat protector 93 is used to further monitor the temperature inside the water tank 2; when it is detected that the temperature inside the water tank 2 is too high, the control unit 6 turns off the heating element 4 to further improve safety.

[0062] It should also be noted that, although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application.
