[0002] Currently, health-preserving kettles on the market are mainly divided into two types: integrated and detachable. Detachable kettles have a separate body and base, allowing users to use the kettle independently. Their heating principle involves a steam generator inside the base producing steam, which is then delivered to the kettle to heat food or other ingredients. However, this design presents a significant cleaning challenge: during the steam heating process, the steam generator easily accumulates limescale, which can lead to blockages over time. Existing cleaning methods typically involve pouring descaling agents such as citric acid into the water tank, using a water pump to dissolve and remove the limescale. However, this method is cumbersome and can leave cleaning agent residue, affecting safety. Furthermore, some products feature a detachable base cover, but because the base cover integrates other components, frequent disassembly can cause wear or damage, thus affecting the stability and lifespan of the device.

The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.
[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This application discloses an easy-to-clean steam health appliance. The easy-to-clean steam health appliance includes a health pot 1, a base 2, and a steam generator 3. In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a first area 21 for placing the health pot 1; the steam generator 3 includes a housing 31 and a cover 32. The housing 31 is disposed in the first area 21 and has a steam generating chamber 33 opening upwards. The cover 32 is detachably connected to the base 2 or the housing 31 and is used to seal the opening of the steam generating chamber 33. Preferably, the detachable connection of the cover 32 to the base 2 or the housing 31 allows the cover 32 to be quickly and easily separated from the base 2 or the housing 31, thereby easily opening the opening of the steam generating chamber 33 for cleaning. This optimizes the cleaning process of the steam generator 3, improves cleaning efficiency, and effectively prevents other components from being worn or damaged during frequent disassembly.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first region 21 is provided with a through groove 22 penetrating the top wall of the base 2. The housing 31 is fixed to the base 2, the opening end of the steam generating chamber 33 corresponds to the through groove 22, and the cover 32 is embedded in the through groove 22 from top to bottom. Optionally, the housing 31 is fixed to the inside of the base 2, and the opening end of the steam generating chamber 33 faces upward toward the through groove 22. The cover 32 is embedded in the through groove 22 from top to bottom, so that the cover 32 can block the opening end of the steam generating chamber 33. In this way, the steam generator 3 can be completely housed in the first region 21 of the base 2. Thus, when the health pot 1 is placed in the first region 21, it can be supported by the top wall of the base 2 and the steam generator 3. Furthermore, the cover 32 can abut against the bottom of the health pot 1, so that the heat of the steam generator 3 can be transferred to the health pot 1 through the cover 32, reducing heat loss.
[0028] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, a heating element 4 is also included, which is disposed on the housing 31. Preferably, the heating element 4 serves as a heat source to heat the housing 31, thereby heating and evaporating the liquid in the steam generating chamber 33 into steam. In this embodiment, the liquid in the steam generating chamber 33 is water. The steam in the steam generating chamber 33 is then transported to the health pot 1 to heat the food / liquid in the health pot 1. Optionally, the heating element 4 may be a heating wire, a PTC heating element, a heating rod, a heating plate, a heating element, a heating element, etc.
[0029] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, a baffle 34 is also included, which is detachably connected between the cover 32 and the housing 31. Preferably, the baffle 34 covers the opening end of the steam generating chamber 33 and is positioned below the cover 32. In this way, the baffle 34 can provide a certain sealing effect, preventing steam from escaping from the opening end, ensuring that steam effectively accumulates in the steam generating chamber 33 and flows along the designed path. At the same time, it can reduce the direct impact of high-temperature steam on the cover 32, extending the service life of the cover 32. Furthermore, for cleaning and maintenance of the steam generator 3, the baffle 34 can be directly disassembled for cleaning or replacement, further improving cleaning efficiency.
[0030] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, a sealing element 35 is further included, which is sleeved on the outside of the baffle 34. Optionally, the sealing element 35 can be a sealing ring. By sleeved on the outside of the baffle 34, the baffle 34 forms a sealed connection with the opening end of the steam generating chamber 33 through the sealing element 35, thereby optimizing the sealing effect of the baffle 34 and effectively preventing liquid from splashing out during boiling or steam generation, and avoiding liquid overflow through the opening end. Optionally, the sealing element 35 can be a sleeve-shaped structure, which is sleeved on the outer surface of the baffle 34. Preferably, the sealing element 35 at least wraps around the side of the baffle 34 and the end face facing the steam generating chamber 33. In this way, while optimizing the sealing effect of the baffle 34, the sealing element 35 can effectively protect the baffle 34 and prevent the baffle 34 from being directly impacted by high-temperature steam.
[0031] See Figure 3In some embodiments, the cover 32 is provided with a connection hole 36, and a fastener 37 is fitted into the connection hole 36. The fastener 37 is detachably connected to the housing 31. Optionally, the fastener 37 can be a bolt, clip, or other component. During assembly, one end of the fastener 37 passes through the connecting hole 36 and extends into the steam generating chamber 33, detachably connecting to the housing 31, thereby detachably connecting the cover 32 to the housing 31 and sealing the opening of the steam generating chamber 33. Furthermore, both the sealing element 35 and the baffle 34 have assembly holes corresponding to the connecting hole 36. One end of the fastener 37 passes through the connecting hole 36 and the two assembly holes in sequence and extends into the steam generating chamber 33, detachably connecting to the housing 31. This achieves a detachable connection between the cover 32, the sealing element 35, and the baffle 34 and the housing 31, optimizing the assembly steps of the components so that the cover 32, the sealing element 35, and the baffle 34 can be quickly and conveniently assembled onto the housing 31.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the top wall of the base 2 is recessed downwards to form a first recess 23, and the first region 21 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first recess 23. Preferably, by disposing the first region 21 on the bottom wall of the first recess 23, the health pot 1 can be engaged in the first recess 23 when placed in the first region 21, thus providing a stable placement space for the health pot 1. Optionally, the shape of the first recess 23 matches the bottom shape of the health pot 1, making it less likely for the health pot 1 to slide or tip over when placed, thereby increasing stability during use. Furthermore, when the steam generator 3 generates steam, the first recess 23, which is recessed downwards, can accumulate more heat, helping to transfer heat more concentratedly to the health pot 1, thereby heating the bottom of the health pot 1 more effectively and improving heating efficiency. In addition, the first recess 23, which is recessed downwards, to a certain extent prevents the user from contacting the overheated surface of the base 2 during use, thereby reducing the risk of burns.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, a water tank interface 5 is also included, which is connected to the steam generating chamber 33. Preferably, the water tank interface 5 is used to connect a water tank to transport the liquid in the water tank to the steam generating chamber 33. At the same time, the heating element 4 heats the housing 31 to heat and evaporate the liquid in the steam generating chamber 33 into steam, and then the steam in the steam generating chamber 33 is transported to the health pot 1 to heat the food / liquid in the health pot 1.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the top wall of the base 2 is recessed downwards to form a second recess 24, and the water tank interface 5 is disposed in the second recess 24. The second recess 24 is used to place the water tank. Preferably, by placing the water tank in the second recess 24, a stable placement space is provided for the water tank, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the water tank interface 5 and the water tank. Optionally, the shape of the second recess 24 matches the bottom shape of the water tank, making it less likely for the water tank to slide or tip over during placement, thereby increasing stability during use.
[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the steam generating chamber 33 is provided with a flow channel 38 for steam or liquid flow, and the flow channel 38 is spirally arranged. Preferably, the spiral arrangement of the flow channel 38 increases the flow distance of the steam or liquid, allowing the steam or liquid to stay in the steam generating chamber 33 for a longer time, thereby more fully absorbing heat and improving heating efficiency. Furthermore, the spiral arrangement of the flow channel 38 increases the contact area between the liquid and the heating wall, extends the flow path, enhances the heat exchange effect, and allows the liquid to reach the required temperature more quickly, facilitating complete vaporization and improving steam output and quality. Further, as the steam or liquid flows within the flow channel 38, the flow direction constantly changes, reducing local overheating or uneven heating, ensuring uniform overall heating, and generating a stronger scouring force, which can reduce scale adhesion to some extent.
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, during daily use, the spirally arranged flow channel 38 drives the steam or liquid to flow within the flow channel 38, constantly changing the flow direction to generate a stronger scouring force, which can reduce the adhesion of scale to a certain extent. When cleaning the steam generator 3, the fasteners 37 on the cover 32 are loosened, and then the cover 32, the seal 35, and the baffle 34 are disassembled from the housing 31, thereby easily opening the opening of the steam generating chamber 33, facilitating the cleaning of the steam generating chamber 33, thereby optimizing the cleaning process of the steam generator 3, improving cleaning efficiency, and effectively preventing other components from being worn or damaged during frequent disassembly.
