Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of descaling devices, in particular to a descaling device for steam appliances. Background Art

[0002] Steam appliances use steam as a heat medium to heat objects, utilizing the latent heat of steam (the heat released when steam condenses into water) to transfer heat energy. This heating method is generally very efficient because steam can transfer a large amount of heat energy at a relatively high temperature. Furthermore, steam appliances provide uniform heat distribution, which is particularly important for heating certain sensitive materials. In the home appliance sector, steam heaters specifically include steamed bun makers, steam ovens, and other food heating applications.

[0003] Taking the steamed bun machine as an example, as the food is heated, it specifically uses a heating element to heat the liquid. However, as the heating element is used, scale is easily generated inside it. The thermal conductivity of scale is poor and it will form an insulating layer, which will seriously reduce the thermal efficiency of the steam generator. At the same time, the accumulation of scale may cause damage to the internal components of the steam generator and increase maintenance costs. Therefore, the inside of the heating element needs to be descaled regularly.

[0004] At present, steam generators use an automatic descaling method, and descaling requires adding a descaling agent into the water tank to achieve the descaling effect of the steam generator. In order to ensure that the descaling agent is conveniently added to the water tank and the structure of the steam appliance is streamlined, a descaling box is placed in the water tank and fits with the inner wall of the water tank. The descaling agent in the descaling box can be dissolved in the water tank, and the liquid containing the descaling agent flows to the steam generator along the pump body, thereby achieving the operation of dissolving scale.

[0005] In response to the above technical solution and customer feedback, although it can streamline the structure and reduce the space occupied by the descaling box, the descaling agent needs to be replaced regularly. When the user needs to perform the descaling operation, the steam appliance cannot perform the descaling operation due to lack of descaling agent. At this time, the user needs to replace the descaling box of the water tank. The water tank of the steam heating appliance is sealed. First, the upper cover of the water tank must be opened and the descaling box in the water tank must be fished out. Secondly, the descaling agent must be added to the descaling box, and finally it must be installed on the inner wall of the water tank and the upper cover of the water tank must be sealed. The entire descaling agent replacement process is cumbersome, which greatly wastes the user's time in replacing the descaling agent. At the same time, it is not convenient to check the descaling agent, and it is difficult to ensure the inventory of the descaling agent.

[0006] Therefore, the present application aims to reduce the time required for adding the descaling agent while making it difficult to check the descaling agent inventory. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a method for reducing the time required for adding a descaling agent while making it difficult to check the amount of the descaling agent.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a descaling device for a steam appliance, comprising:

[0009] water tank;

[0010] a descaling member comprising a descaling box with one end open and the other end provided with a through hole, wherein the end of the descaling box with the through hole extends into the water tank and is submerged below the liquid level of the water tank for contacting the descaling agent at the through hole end of the descaling box; and

[0011] A positioning member, provided at an end of the descaling member away from the water tank;

[0012] Wherein, the open end of the descaling box passes through the positioning member and is detachably connected to the positioning member.

[0013] Furthermore, the open end of the descaling box is turned outward.

[0014] Furthermore, the water tank is provided with a flange on the side wall where the descaling box is installed, and the flange surrounds the outer circumference of the descaling box.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting seat having a receiving cavity and a positioning member assembled at the open end of the receiving cavity, wherein the positioning member is used to receive condensed water.

[0016] Furthermore, the water tank is assembled on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, the positioning member is provided with a platform on the periphery of the descaling box.

[0018] Furthermore, the descaling member further comprises an end cover covering the open end of the descaling box, and a sealing member is provided between the end cover and the descaling box.

[0019] Furthermore, the positioning member is provided with a fixing seat and a base assembled with each other on the outer wall of the descaling box, and the step of the base rests on the positioning member.

[0020] Furthermore, the positioning member is provided with a fixing seat and a base which are assembled with each other on the outer wall of the descaling box, and the base is plugged into the positioning member.

[0021] The above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0022] The utility model adopts a descaling box that extends into the water tank, with the open end facing outward and one end of the through hole immersed below the liquid level of the water tank, so that the descaling agent can be added from the open end of the descaling box, and the descaling agent dissolves in the water tank from the through hole end of the descaling box, which can ensure the subsequent descaling steps of the water tank and the steam generator, saving the time of adding the descaling agent. When it is necessary to observe the amount of descaling agent in the descaling box, the descaling box is disassembled from the positioning part, and the specific amount of the descaling agent in the descaling box can be observed, which is convenient for observation and ensures the normal descaling of the steam appliance.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a descaling device for a steam appliance includes a water tank 40 and a descaling member 30. The descaling member 30 includes a descaling box 301 with an open end and a through hole at the other end. The end of the descaling box 301 with the through hole extends into the water tank 40 and is submerged below the liquid level in the water tank 40 to contact the descaling agent at the through hole end of the descaling box 301. The descaling box 301 is detachably connected to the water tank 40. The open end of the descaling box 301 can be used to add descaling agent inward, and the through-hole end of the descaling box 301 is immersed in the liquid level of the water tank 40. The descaling agent contacts the liquid through the through-hole, and can be fully dissolved in the liquid, which is helpful for the subsequent descaling of the steam appliance. As for the installation angle of the descaling box 301, the descaling box 301 can be selected to extend vertically from the top of the water tank 40 to below the liquid level, or it can be extended from the top of the water tank 40 or from the side wall adjacent to the top to below the liquid level in an inclined manner. It is only necessary to extend the through-hole end of the descaling box 301 below the liquid level of the water tank 40.

[0031] Specifically, the descaling box 301 is detachably connected to the water tank 40, which can be done by plugging, threading, or clamping. If plugging is used, the descaling box 301 is directly inserted from the side wall of the water tank 40, and the through hole end of the descaling box 301 is extended below the liquid level; if threading is used, the through hole of the descaling box 301 is extended below the liquid level, and the open end is tightened to the water tank 40 by means of threads; if clamping is used, the through hole end of the descaling box 301 is extended below the liquid level, and the open end of the descaling box 301 is clamped and fixed by means of spring clips or plastic clips, thereby keeping the position of the descaling box 301 fixed.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the open end of the descaling box 301 is turned outward, which can be specifically turned in an arc shape or tilted. This process can play a positioning role when the descaling box 301 is placed in the water tank 40. The turned-out part can be set at the open end of the descaling box 301, or can be set at a distance of 1 cm to 5 cm from the open end of the descaling box 301, which is used to play a positioning role when the descaling box 301 is installed.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 40 is provided with a flange on the side wall where the descaling box 301 is assembled, and the flange surrounds the outer periphery of the descaling box 301, wherein the flange of the water tank 40 can increase the area with the outer periphery of the descaling box 301, thereby increasing the contact area between the water tank 40 and the descaling box 301 and improving the stability of the movement of the descaling box 301.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the descaling device of the steam appliance further includes a mounting base 10 having a receiving cavity and a positioning member 20 assembled at the open end of the receiving cavity. The positioning member 20 can be set in a plate, block or strip shape, preferably in a plate shape, specifically set as a receiving plate for receiving condensed water. The positioning member 20 also includes a confluence hole 201, wherein the positioning member 20 is inclined around the confluence hole 201. For the steam appliance, a steam cavity is set above the positioning member 20. The steam cavity can be used for steaming food and sterilizing. Therefore, condensed water will fall on the inner wall of the steam cavity, so the condensed water flows onto the positioning member 20 and flows out from the confluence hole 201 of the positioning member 20; it can also be used A plate with a groove is used to place liquid, and the liquid in the groove can then be heated to generate rising steam; if a block is used, the opening of the descaling box 301 can be passed through the block, and after being fixed to the block, another block can be used to cover the opening of the descaling box 301. The connection relationship between the two blocks can be detachably fixed, such as by bolts, latches, or snap-fitting. Preferably, a sliding method is used, that is, the block on the opening of the descaling box 301 is pushed open, and the descaling agent can be added to the opening of the descaling box 301; if a strip is used, it is only used to serve as a positioning interface for the open end of the descaling box 301, and does not need to have the function of receiving condensed water.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, as another embodiment of the present application, the water tank 40 is assembled on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and the open end of the descaling box 301 passes through the positioning member 20 from the accommodating cavity, wherein the water tank 40 is separated by a partition in the accommodating cavity of the mounting seat 10 and is fixed to the side wall of the mounting seat 10 by means of angle steel. The descaling box 301 and the water tank 40 can slide relative to each other, and the open end of the descaling box 301 extends from the positioning member 20. The positioning member 20 is provided with a platform 202 on the outer periphery of the open end of the descaling box 301. If in the space of the steam chamber, especially involving the food industry, food will flow from the inclined surface of the positioning member 20 to the confluence hole 201. The platform 202 can reduce the amount of food residue on the platform 202. At the same time, the platform 202 also provides a plane to facilitate the installation of the open end of the descaling box 301.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the descaling member 30 further includes an end cap 305 covering the open end of the descaling box 301, and a sealing member 304 is provided between the end cap 305 and the descaling box 301. The end cap 305 can directly cover the open end of the descaling box 301, or can be screwed to the open end of the descaling box 301. The sealing member 304 can be made of rubber or a metal sealing ring to achieve a sealing effect. If the end cap 305 only covers the descaling box 301 and the sealing effect of the sealing member 304 needs to be maintained, then:

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] The positioning member 20 is equipped with a fixing seat 302 and a base 303 that are assembled with each other on the outer wall of the descaling box 301, and the steps of the base 303 are placed on the positioning member 20, wherein the fixing seat 302 and the base 303 are engaged with each other, and the engaged part is also provided with a sealing ring to improve the sealing effect of the two. The outer edge of the fixing seat 302 and the base 303 are pressed tightly on both sides of the positioning member 20 to be installed on the positioning member 20. At this time, the end cover 305 can be tightened with the external thread of the base 303. At this time, the end cover 305 is pressed on the open end of the descaling box 301, and the sealing member 304 is pressed and sealed to prevent food debris or debris from falling into the open end of the descaling box 301.

[0039] Example 2:

The base 303 is inserted into the positioning member 20, wherein the fixing seat 302 and the base 303 are engaged with each other, and the engaged part is also provided with a sealing ring to improve the sealing effect of the two. The outer edge of the base 303 is inserted into the slot of the positioning member 20 to fix the base 303 on the positioning member 20. At this time, the end cover 305 can be tightened with the external thread of the base 303. At this time, the end cover 305 is pressed against the open end of the descaling box 301, and the sealing member 304 is pressed and sealed to prevent food debris or debris from falling into the open end of the descaling box 301.

[0041] On the basis of the first and second embodiments, the descaling box 301 can not only slide with the water tank 40, but also be fixed to the water tank 40. Specifically, it can be fixed by plugging, threading, or snapping, which can improve the stability of the installation. The specific scheme is as shown above, but it is preferred to insert the descaling box 301 into the water tank 40 to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0042] When in use, by unscrewing the end cover 305 and removing the seal 304, the descaling agent can be added from the open end of the descaling box 301, so that the descaling agent contacts the liquid in the water tank 40 at the through hole of the descaling box 301, and the descaling agent dissolves in the liquid from the through hole, and can be used for descaling the steam generator; when it is necessary to observe the descaling agent in the descaling box 301, the end cover 305 is unscrewed, the seal 304 is removed, and the descaling box 301 is pulled out from the platform 202, and the specific situation of the descaling agent in the descaling box 301 can be observed, which is convenient for adding and observing the descaling agent, and convenient for users to ensure the inventory of the descaling agent.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
