Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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] like Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0025] A vertical steam generator device includes a vertical steam generator body 101, on which a pressure relief pipe 102 is installed.

[0026] The water tank 105 has an open structure and is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical steam generator body 101. One end of the pressure relief pipe 102 extends to the bottom of the inner cavity of the water tank 105 and is sealed and fixedly connected to the water tank 105. A cover plate 109 is provided at the open part of the water tank 105. Limiting pins 108 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the upper surface of the water tank 105. The cover plate 109 has sliding holes that match the number of limiting pins 108. The cover plate 109 slides on the surface of the limiting pins 108 through the sliding holes.

[0027] Pressure gauge 103 is installed on pressure relief pipe 102;

[0028] The first electromagnetic control valve 104 is installed on the pressure relief pipe 102 and is located on the side of the pressure gauge 103 away from the vertical steam generator body 101.

[0029] A drain pipe 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 105, and a manual control valve 107 is installed on the drain pipe 106. A water inlet pipe 114 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the water tank 105. A second electromagnetic control valve 115 is installed on the water inlet pipe 114. One end of the water inlet pipe 114 is connected to the water supply system. A water level control switch 113 is installed inside the water tank 105 to monitor the water level in real time.

[0030] A display screen 111 is installed on the front side of the water tank 105, and a temperature sensor 112 for monitoring the water temperature is installed inside the water tank 105.

[0031] In this implementation scheme: During use, the first electromagnetic control valve 104 is used to block the pressure relief pipe 102. At the same time, the pressure gauge 103 is responsible for monitoring the pressure in part of the space of the pressure relief pipe 102 and the pressure inside the vertical steam generator body 101. When the pressure gauge 103 detects that the internal pressure is too high, it will release the blockage of the pressure relief pipe 102 through the first electromagnetic control valve 104, so that the steam generated by the vertical steam generator body 101 can be discharged into the water tank 105 through the pressure relief pipe 102, thereby relieving the pressure of the vertical steam generator body 101. The water tank 105 contains water.

[0032] In addition, the water inlet pipe 114 is connected to the external water supply system, and the water level control switch 113 is used to monitor the water level inside the water tank 105 in real time. When the water level in the water tank 105 is lower than the preset water level, the water level control switch 113 will send a signal to the control module. The control module will then instruct the second solenoid control valve 115 to open to release the blockage of the water inlet pipe 114, allowing the external water supply system to replenish water into the water tank 105 through the water inlet pipe 114. When the water level control switch 113 detects that the water level has risen back to the specified position, the second solenoid control valve 115 will block the water inlet pipe 114 again to ensure that the water tank 105 always maintains a certain amount of water level. This design can ensure that the water level in the water tank 105 is stable and meet the needs of system operation.

[0033] The steam discharged from the pressure relief pipe 102 is directly sprayed into the water in the water tank 105 through the nozzle. The nozzle is installed at the end of the pressure relief pipe 102 that extends into the water tank 105. Since the temperature of the steam is much higher than that of the water, the heat released by the steam is quickly absorbed by the water, which causes the water temperature to rise.

[0034] Users can manually turn the manual control valve 107 to unblock the drain pipe 106, allowing the heated hot water to be discharged through the drain pipe 106 and thus making use of the hot water.

[0035] Meanwhile, a temperature sensor 112 is installed inside the water tank 105. The temperature sensor 112 can monitor the water temperature and display it on the display screen 111. In this way, users can easily observe the water temperature inside the water tank 105 through the display screen 111, which enhances the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0036] A cavity is formed between the water tank 105 and the cover plate 109. The condensation of water vapor will increase the pressure inside the water tank 105. As the pressure increases, the cover plate 109 can be lifted and slide on multiple sets of limit pins 108, thereby separating the cover plate 109 from the water tank 105 and forming an opening for pressure relief. This can prevent excessive pressure from forming between the water tank 105 and the cover plate 109. When the pressure decreases, the cover plate 109 will fall back to the opening of the water tank 105 due to its own weight, thus sealing it.

[0037] This solution uses automatic pressure regulation. When the internal pressure of the equipment is detected to exceed the safe range, the pressure relief program will be automatically activated to release excess steam, thereby effectively preventing equipment damage or explosion accidents caused by excessive pressure. This design greatly improves the safety and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, it can effectively utilize the heat of the discharged steam, improve energy efficiency, and reduce the heat of steam directly emitted into the external environment, thus reducing the impact on air quality.

[0038] It should be noted that all electrical equipment involved in this product is powered by an external power source. The solution also includes a control module, which can be used to start the operation of each electrical device. The power connection method of each electrical device is a mature existing technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be elaborated further here.

[0039] It should be noted that the vertical steam generator body 101 has its own safety valve, and together with the pressure relief pipe 102, pressure gauge 103 and first solenoid control valve 104, it can provide double protection for this device.

[0040] Certain details concerning the vertical steam generator body 101 are not fully described in this specification, and these undescribed parts constitute the existing technical basis commonly known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the display screen 111, temperature sensor 112, and water level control switch 113 mentioned all employ mature technologies commonly used in the industry to achieve their functions.

[0041] Furthermore;

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the lower surface of the cover plate 109 is provided with a mounting groove, and a sealing gasket 110 is provided in the mounting groove, with the sealing gasket 110 and the cover plate 109 being fixedly connected.

[0043] In this embodiment, a sealing gasket 110 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 109, and the sealing gasket 110 enhances the sealing between the cover plate 109 and the water tank 105.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the first electromagnetic control valve 104 seals the pressure relief pipe 102. Simultaneously, the pressure gauge 103 monitors the pressure within a portion of the pressure relief pipe 102 and inside the vertical steam generator body 101. When the pressure gauge 103 detects excessively high internal pressure, it releases the seal on the pressure relief pipe 102 via the first electromagnetic control valve 104, allowing the steam generated by the vertical steam generator body 101 to be discharged into the water tank 105 through the pressure relief pipe 102, thus relieving pressure on the vertical steam generator body 101. The steam discharged from the pressure relief pipe 102 is directly sprayed into the water in the water tank 105 through a nozzle. The pressure relief pipe 102 extends into the water tank 105. Since the temperature of steam is much higher than that of water, the heat released by the steam is quickly absorbed by the water, thus causing the water temperature to rise. A cavity is formed between the water tank 105 and the cover plate 109. The condensation of water vapor increases the pressure inside the water tank 105. As the pressure rises, the cover plate 109 can be lifted and slide on multiple sets of limit pins 108, thereby separating the cover plate 109 from the water tank 105 and forming an opening for pressure relief. This can prevent excessive pressure from forming between the water tank 105 and the cover plate 109. When the pressure drops, the cover plate 109 will fall back to the opening of the water tank 105 due to its own weight, thus sealing it and reducing the amount of garbage entering the water tank 105.

[0045] Users can manually turn the manual control valve 107 to unblock the drain pipe 106, allowing the heated hot water to be discharged through the drain pipe 106 and thus making use of the hot water.

[0046] This solution uses automatic pressure regulation. When the internal pressure of the equipment is detected to exceed the safe range, the pressure relief program will be automatically activated to release excess steam, thereby effectively preventing equipment damage or explosion accidents caused by excessive pressure. This design greatly improves the safety and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, it can effectively utilize the heat of the discharged steam, improve energy efficiency, and reduce the heat of steam directly emitted into the external environment, thus reducing the impact on air quality.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
