[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the present utility model discloses a steam generating device of an embodiment, including an ironing soleplate 10, a heating tube assembly 20 and a connecting water pipe 30 both arranged on the ironing soleplate 10. An inlet 201 is provided at one end of the heating tube assembly 20 away from the connecting water pipe 30. A steam outlet 101 is provided on the ironing soleplate 10. The heating tube assembly 20, the connecting water pipe 30 and the ironing soleplate 10 are connected in sequence, so that the inlet 201 and the steam outlet 101 are connected.

[0027] In combination with Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the heating tube assembly 20 includes a coated heating tube 22, and a blocking structure 202 is provided inside the heating tube assembly 20, so that when the water flowing in from the inlet 201 flows in the heating tube assembly 20, it is blocked by the blocking structure 202.

[0028] Inside the heating tube assembly 20 of the steam generating device of the present utility model, a blocking structure is provided, so that when the water flowing in from the inlet 201 flows in the heating tube assembly 20, it is blocked by the blocking structure 202, thereby prolonging the residence time of the water in the coated heating tube 22, prolonging the heating time, making the steam ejected from the steam outlet 101 basically steam, and thus improving the user experience.

[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the steam generating device is actually in use, it further includes a rear shell (not shown in the figure) covering the ironing soleplate 10. The rear shell and the ironing soleplate 10 enclose a receiving cavity, and the heating tube assembly 20 and the connecting water pipe 30 are both arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the heating tube assembly 20 further includes a heat-conducting water pipe 24. The coated heating tube 22 is sleeved outside the heat-conducting water pipe 24. The inlet 201 is provided at one end of the heat-conducting water pipe 24 away from the connecting water pipe 30. The heat-conducting water pipe 24, the connecting water pipe 30 and the ironing soleplate 10 are connected in sequence.

[0031] In combination with Figure 5, specifically, in this embodiment, the blocking structure 202 is disposed within the heat-conducting water pipe 24. This is mainly because the coated heating pipe 22 is generally a standard component, and it is costly to arrange the blocking structure 202 inside it.

[0032] In other embodiments, the heat-conducting water pipe 24 may not be provided, and the blocking structure 202 may be directly arranged inside the coated heating pipe 22.

[0033] In addition, the diameter of the coated heating pipe 22 as a standard component is relatively large. When the inside of the coated heating pipe 22 is filled with water, the amount of water is too large, making it difficult to heat sufficiently. By arranging the heat-conducting water pipe 22 sleeved inside the coated heating pipe 22, the diameter of the heat-conducting water pipe 22 is smaller than that of the coated heating pipe 22. Therefore, when the inside of the heat-conducting water pipe 22 is filled with water, the amount of water is relatively smaller, further ensuring sufficient heating.

[0034] It should be noted here that the water pipes inside the steam generating device need to be kept full of water to prevent steam from flowing back.

[0035] Preferably, in combination with the attached drawings, in this embodiment, the side walls of the coated heating pipe 22 and the connecting water pipe 30 are both attached to the ironing soleplate 10, and the ironing soleplate 10 is a heat-conducting plate.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the coated heating pipe 22 includes a main body pipe and a heating layer provided on the outer side of the main body pipe. The heating layer is in direct contact with the ironing soleplate 10, facilitating the heating of the ironing soleplate 10 by the heating layer.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the heating layer is a nano-coating, that is, the nano-coating is directly arranged (printed or by other processes) on the side of the main body pipe to form the nano-coating, and the nano-coating generates heat when powered on. At this time, the coated heating pipe 22 is a nano-coating heating pipe.

[0038] In other embodiments, the heating layer may also be a printed circuit layer, that is, the printed circuit is directly arranged (printed or by other processes) on the side of the main body pipe to form the printed circuit layer, and the printed circuit layer generates heat when powered on.

[0039] The side walls of the coated heating pipe 22 and the connecting water pipe 30 are both attached to the ironing soleplate 10, and the ironing soleplate 10 is a heat-conducting plate. On the one hand, this can improve the heating utilization efficiency of the coated heating pipe 22. On the other hand, such a structural arrangement makes the overall volume of the steam generating device smaller. In addition, such a structural arrangement also enables the coated heating pipe 22 to directly heat the ironing soleplate 10, and dry ironing can be achieved when there is no water flowing inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24.

[0040] Combined with the attached drawings, specifically, one end of the connecting water pipe 30 far from the heat-conducting water pipe 24 is a flat structure 32. The flat surface of the flat structure 32 is attached to the ironing bottom plate 10, and a through hole 301 matching the steam outlet 101 is provided on the flat surface of the flat structure 32.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the heat-conducting water pipe 24 is a metal pipe. The metal pipe has the advantages of good heat conductivity, low cost, and convenient processing.

[0042] Specifically, combined with the attached drawings, in this embodiment, the connecting water pipe 30 further includes a U-shaped connecting section 34, and the U-shaped connecting section 34 is respectively connected to the heat-conducting water pipe 24 and the flat structure 32.

[0043] Specifically, combined with the attached drawings, in this embodiment, the heat-conducting water pipe 24 and the connecting water pipe 30 are integrally formed metal pipes.

[0044] In this embodiment, there is one heat-conducting water pipe 24.

[0045] In other embodiments, there are at least three heat-conducting water pipes 24. The at least three heat-conducting water pipes 24 are all sleeved inside the coating heating pipe 22, and one end of the at least three heat-conducting water pipes 24 close to the connecting water pipe 30 is communicated with the connecting water pipe 30. Such a setting can greatly reduce the pipe diameter of the heat-conducting water pipe 24, so as to facilitate the setting of the blocking structure 202 inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24 and enable the blocking structure 202 arranged inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24 to play a better role.

[0046] Preferably, the blocking structure 202 is a granular or filamentous blocking object filled inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24, and / or the blocking structure 202 is a concave-convex structure arranged on the inner wall of the heat-conducting water pipe 24.

[0047] Combined Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the blocking structure 202 is a granular blocking object filled inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24. In other embodiments, the blocking structure 202 can also be a filamentous blocking object filled inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24.

[0048] The blocking structure 202 not only plays a role in blocking the water flow, but also reduces the amount of water that can be accommodated inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24 by being filled inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24, so as to further ensure sufficient heating.

[0049] More preferably, in this embodiment, the blocking object is metal particles or metal wires. The metal particles or metal wires have good heat conductivity, low cost, and low processing difficulty.

[0050] When the blocking structure 202 is a concave-convex structure arranged on the inner wall of the heat-conducting water pipe 24, it can make the water form a vortex inside the heat-conducting water pipe 24, thereby reducing the water flow rate.

[0051] Preferably, in this embodiment, a filter screen (not shown in the figure) is further provided at one end of the heat-conducting water pipe 24 close to the connecting water pipe 30.

[0052] The filter screen can prevent the blocking object from leaking out of the heat-conducting water pipe 24.

[0053] The steam generating device of the present utility model can be applied to various devices and different fields. For example, it can be applied to the ironing field.

[0054] The present utility model also discloses an ironing device including the above-mentioned steam generating device according to an embodiment.
