The exhaust cavity 22 is connected to the air inlet cavity 24, the air inlet cavity 24 is connected to the air outlet cavity 26, and the air outlet cavity 26 is connected to the steam outlet 28.
[0033] In the above-mentioned steam generator 100, a water injection chamber 20 and an exhaust chamber 22 are opened in the upper cavity 16, and an air inlet chamber 24, an air outlet chamber 26 and a steam outlet 28 are opened in the lower cavity 18.

Two heating elements 14 may be provided, and the two heating elements 14 are provided on one side of the generator body 12. The steam outlet 28 is provided on the side of the generator body 12 opposite to the heating element 14. The heating element 14 can heat the water in the water injection cavity 20 to generate steam.

[0035] In one embodiment, a water pump (not shown) can pump water into the water injection chamber 20. When the steam generator 100 is in operation, the heating element 14 begins to heat, and the heat can be transferred to the generator body 12. The water in the water injection chamber 20 is heated and evaporated, and a large amount of steam can be generated above the water injection chamber 20. The steam can pass through the water injection chamber 20 to the exhaust chamber 22, the exhaust chamber 22 to the air inlet chamber 24, the air inlet chamber 24 to the air outlet chamber 26, and the air outlet chamber 26 to the steam outlet 28. After the steam is generated in the water injection chamber 20, it can pass through multiple chambers to extend the steam flow path, prevent scale accumulation from clogging the steam outlet 28, and increase the service life of the steam generator 100. In addition, the steam can be heated multiple times by passing through multiple chambers in the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 18, thereby avoiding the problem of water spraying in the steam generator 100.

The plurality of heat-conducting fins divide the first steam flow channel 34 into a plurality of channels 40 , creating a wavy overall shape. This allows the steam to have a longer flow path within the upper chamber 16 , gradually increasing the steam temperature while preventing unvaporized water from being carried away by the steam and ejected from the steam generator 100 .
[0042] It should be noted that the spacing k between the two first heat conducting fins 38 may not only be 6.5 mm, but may also be set to 7.0 mm or other values, and may be adjusted according to specific circumstances.

[0048] Specifically, in Figure 5 In the embodiment, the second heat conducting fins 44 can be arranged at the bottom of the lower cavity 18. The second steam flow channel 46 can be arranged along the entire length L of the steam generator 100. In one embodiment, the second steam flow channel 46 connects the air inlet cavity 24 and the air outlet cavity 26. Steam can enter the air inlet cavity 24 through the through hole 42 and then flow to the air outlet cavity 26 through the second steam flow channel 46, thereby achieving steam flow in the lower cavity 18.

The first protrusions 48 on opposite sides of the two first heat conducting fins 38 are staggered. In one embodiment, by forming a plurality of first protrusions 48 on the side of the first heat conducting fin 38, the flow rate of steam in the upper cavity 16 can be slowed down, thereby further increasing the steam temperature.
[0052] Please combine Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second heat conducting fin 44 is formed with a plurality of second protrusions 50 spaced apart along the flow direction of the second steam flow channel 46 , and the plurality of second protrusions 50 are located in the second steam flow channel 46 .
[0053] In this way, the flow speed of the steam in the lower cavity 18 can be slowed down, thereby further increasing the steam temperature.
[0054] Specifically, in Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, two second heat-conducting fins 44 may be provided at the bottom of the lower chamber 18, and the two second heat-conducting fins 44 may enclose a second steam flow channel 46. In one embodiment, a plurality of second protrusions 50 may be formed at intervals along the flow direction of the second steam flow channel 46 on one side of the second heat-conducting fins 44 near the second steam flow channel 46, thereby slowing the flow rate of steam in the lower chamber 18 and further increasing the steam temperature.
[0055] Please combine Figure 2 In certain embodiments, the steam outlet 28 is in the shape of a strip.
[0056] In this way, the steam outlet 28 can be enlarged, and the possibility of scale blocking the steam outlet 28 can be reduced.

[0058] It should be noted that the width d of the steam outlet 28 and the length c of the steam outlet 28 are not limited to the above values, but can also be set to other values and can be adjusted according to specific circumstances.
