DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clarify the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model; it is completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. 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.

[0024] The utility model provides Figure 1 to Figure 6 The steam generating device for an electric steamer shown in the figure comprises a base 1 and a steam generating mechanism, wherein a circular cavity 5 is provided inside the base 1, a rotating tube 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, the rotating tube 2 is communicated with the circular cavity 5, a circular box 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating tube 2, the circular box 3 is communicated with the rotating tube 2, and an air intake gap is provided between the rotating tube 2 and the bottom of the circular cavity 5, and high-temperature steam can enter the interior of the rotating tube 2 through the air intake gap, and then enter the interior of the circular box 3. When in use, the rotating tube 2 and the circular box 3 can rotate synchronously. A plurality of air outlet holes 7 are provided through the top of the circular box 3, the air outlet holes 7 are tilted, and the tilt angles of the plurality of air outlet holes 7 are inconsistent. When the high-temperature steam is ejected from the air outlet holes 7, the air flow direction is inconsistent due to the inconsistent tilt angles of the plurality of air outlet holes 7, which can expand the coverage area and improve the uniformity of steaming.

[0025] The guide plate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating tube 2. When in use, the guide plates 4 are arranged in plurality. The guide plates 4 are located inside the circular cavity 5 and are arranged obliquely. An air inlet groove 6 for conveying high-temperature steam is provided inside the base 1. The air inlet groove 6 is connected to the circular cavity 5 and is arranged obliquely. When the high-temperature steam enters the circular cavity 5 through the obliquely arranged air inlet groove 6, the rotating tube 2 is driven to rotate through the guide plate 4, and then the circular box 3 is rotated. Since the inclination angles of the plurality of air outlet holes 7 are inconsistent, the position of the airflow action is changed, the coverage area is expanded, the uniformity of the steaming is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.

[0026] At the same time, high-temperature steam can enter the interior of the rotating tube 2 through the air intake gap, and then enter the interior of the round box 3.

[0027] In a specific configuration, the steam generating mechanism includes an air intake pipe 8, a steam generator 9 and a water tank 10, the water tank 10 is connected to the inlet end of the steam generator 9, one end of the air intake pipe 8 is connected to the outlet end of the steam generator 9, and the other end of the air intake pipe 8 is connected to the air intake groove 6. Specifically, the water tank 10 supplies water to the steam generator 9 to generate high-temperature steam, and the generated high-temperature steam is transported to the air intake groove 6 through the air intake pipe 8.

[0029] The axial positions of the rotating tube 2 and the round box 3 correspond. When high-temperature steam is transported from the rotating tube 2 to the inside of the round box 3, the air flow at the air outlet 7 close to the axial position is fast, while the air flow at the air outlet 7 far from the axial position is slow due to factors such as friction and the transport path. To ensure that the air flow of the multiple air outlets 7 is consistent, the inner diameters of the multiple air outlets 7 gradually increase in the direction away from the axial center of the round box 3, thereby ensuring that the air flow of the multiple air outlets 7 is consistent and further improving the uniformity of steaming.

[0030] The utility model also includes an electric steamer, using the above-mentioned steam generating device, and also includes an electric steamer body 11, the electric steamer body 11 is provided with a device compartment 12 and a steam compartment 13, the steam generator 9 and the water tank 10 are fixedly installed inside the device compartment 12, and the base 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the steam compartment 13. When in use, a door panel is also provided to cooperate with the electric steamer body 11.
