Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam car washing, and in particular to a steam generating device. Background Technology
[0002] Steam car washing is an innovative and efficient cleaning method that uses high-temperature steam to thoroughly clean the surface and interior of a vehicle. The core of this method lies in the high temperature and high pressure characteristics of steam, which allows it to easily remove dirt, oil stains, and other stubborn contaminants adhering to the vehicle's surface. Steam cleaning generates a large amount of steam to cover and clean the entire vehicle surface, requiring only a small amount of water for excellent cleaning results. Furthermore, steam car washing typically requires little or no chemical cleaning agents, making it more environmentally friendly and reducing pollution to the natural environment and potential damage to vehicle surfaces. Secondly, the high temperature of steam car washing has a powerful ability to kill bacteria and viruses, allowing car owners to not only remove visible dirt but also effectively improve the hygiene level of the car's interior. Steam can penetrate deep into the crevices and corners of the car, cleaning hard-to-reach areas and ensuring fresh air inside the vehicle for a more comfortable driving experience. Through high-temperature steam, car owners can disinfect while cleaning, eliminating odors and further improving the overall hygiene of the vehicle.
[0003] Conventional steam generators typically require a certain amount of water to boil, resulting in a lengthy process from heating the heater body to the initial steam output. Furthermore, after using the stored water, it must be refilled with room temperature water, preventing continuous operation. Tank-type structures are simpler, have fewer control components, are easier to manufacture, and have fewer malfunctions. While long-channel heating methods can continuously supply water via a pump and vaporize it to produce steam, the pressure within the channel is difficult to control due to variables such as temperature. In the heating flow path, the heater body model, pump flow rate, and injected steam volume all affect pressure variations. Especially when operating the injection gun, the timing and amount of steam injection are unpredictable due to user operating patterns. Therefore, long-channel heating methods struggle to generate steam at varying pressures and temperatures.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a steam generating apparatus to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a steam generating device that can generate a large amount of steam in a short time.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A steam generating device includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a gasket. Four assembly holes are provided at the edges of the upper shell, the lower shell, and the gasket. Screws are threaded into the inner ends of the four assembly holes. Nuts are threaded onto the upper and lower ends of the four screws. Heater holes are provided between the edges of the upper shell, the lower shell, the gasket, and the four assembly holes. Heater bodies are fixedly installed at the inner ends of the four heater holes.
[0008] The lower housing has a sealed space at its upper end, a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the lower housing, a number of irregular blocks are fixedly installed inside the sealed space, and two spray pipes are fixedly installed on the upper housing, with nozzles fixedly installed at the upper ends of the two spray pipes.
[0009] Furthermore, the washer is placed on the upper end of the lower housing, and the upper housing is placed on the upper end of the washer.
[0010] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe is connected to the upper part of the sealed space.
[0011] Furthermore, four of the plurality of nuts are movably disposed at the upper end of the upper housing, and the other four of the plurality of nuts are movably disposed at the lower end of the lower housing.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealed space is located at the inner end of the four heater bodies, and the multiple irregular blocks are fixedly installed at the lower end of the water inlet pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the two injection pipes are positioned at the upper end of the enclosed space.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention discloses a steam generating device. An asbestos gasket is placed between the upper and lower housings to ensure a good seal between them, facilitating rapid and uniform heat conduction by the heater body and improving heating efficiency. A screw and nut firmly secure the upper and lower housings. A long cylindrical heater body is installed inside the heater hole. When power is supplied to the heater body to generate heat, the heater body heats the upper and lower housings, and the sealed space is also heated. The highest temperature is found on the side wall adjacent to the heater body. Water entering the sealed space first impacts the side wall. It can vaporize instantly. The bottom of the sealed space has irregular blocks, which increases the contact area of water droplets splashed on the side walls, thus helping vaporization to occur faster. This process is highly efficient and can generate a large amount of steam in a short time. After water and detergent are added to the water inlet pipe, the heater body continues to heat, which improves the quality of steam in the sealed space. It can effectively remove dirt and stubborn stains, and improve the car wash effect. Due to the high temperature and strong penetrability of steam, less water and detergent are needed to achieve better cleaning results, which reduces water consumption and the use of chemical cleaning agents, in line with the concept of environmental protection.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0025] A steam generator includes an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, and a washer 3. Four mounting holes 4 are provided near the edges of the upper housing 1, lower housing 2, and washer 3.

The multiple irregular blocks 6 are fixedly set on the lower end of the water inlet pipe 13. The two injection pipes 10 are set on the upper end of the sealed space 12.
[0026] Specifically, the gasket 3 is made of asbestos and is placed between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 to ensure a good seal between them. This helps the heater body 7 to conduct heat quickly and evenly, improving heating efficiency. The screw 8 and nut 9 firmly fix the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The heater hole 5 is equipped with a long cylindrical heater body 7. When power is supplied to the heater body 7 to generate heat, the heater body 7 heats the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, and the sealed space 12 is also heated accordingly. The highest temperature is found on the side wall adjacent to the heater body 7. Water entering the sealed space 12 first impacts the side wall. It can vaporize immediately. The bottom of the sealed space 12 is provided with an irregular block 6, which increases the contact area of water droplets splashed on the side wall, thus helping vaporization to occur faster. This process is highly efficient and can generate a large amount of steam in a short time. After water and detergent are added to the water inlet pipe 13, the heater body 7 continues to heat, which improves the quality of steam in the sealed space 12. It can effectively remove dirt and stubborn stains and improve the car wash effect. Due to the high temperature and strong penetrability of steam, less water and detergent are needed to achieve better cleaning results, which reduces water consumption and the use of chemical cleaning agents, in line with the concept of environmental protection.
[0027] Working principle: The gasket 3 is made of asbestos and is placed between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The screw 8 and nut 9 firmly fix the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The heater hole 5 is equipped with a long cylindrical heater body 7. When power is supplied to the heater body 7 to generate heat, the heater body 7 heats the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, and the sealed space 12 is also heated. The highest temperature is on the side wall adjacent to the heater body 7. Water entering the sealed space 12 first hits the side wall and can be vaporized immediately. The bottom of the sealed space 12 is provided with an irregular block 6, which increases the contact area of water droplets splashed on the side wall, thereby helping vaporization to occur faster. After water and detergent are added to the water inlet pipe 13, the heater body 7 continues to heat, which improves the quality of steam in the sealed space 12, effectively removing dirt and stubborn stains and improving the car wash effect.
