[0033] 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.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-2The present invention provides an embodiment of a steam generator for sauna rooms, comprising a housing 1, which is the housing of a steam generator. An expansion chamber 2 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the housing 1. The inner walls of the housing 1 and the expansion chamber 2 are connected. A through groove 3 is provided through the upper surface of the housing 1. An atomizing mechanism for rapidly generating steam is provided inside the housing 1. A blocking component to prevent steam leakage is provided inside the expansion chamber 2.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-3 The atomizing mechanism includes a fogging component, which includes a mounting frame 43. The mounting frame 43 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner surface of the device housing 1. An electric heating tube 46 is provided on the inner surface of the mounting frame 43, and the mounting frame 43 provides support for the electric heating tube 46. A fin 44 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electric heating tube 46. The fin 44 is made of metal, which can increase the contact area and thus accelerate the generation of fog. A water inlet pipe 41 is connected through and fixedly connected to the left surface of the expansion chamber 2. A fog outlet plate 42 is provided at the right end of the water inlet pipe 41. The water inlet pipe 41 is connected to an external water source, which can draw water to the fog outlet plate 42, and finally spray the water in a fog form onto the fin 44. The fin 44 will be in a high temperature state under the heating action of the electric heating tube 46. When the water fog comes into contact with the fin 44, it will be further atomized and form steam that is discharged from the channel 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The atomizing mechanism also includes a reciprocating oscillating assembly, which includes a support block 51. The support block 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the left surface of the expansion chamber 2. A motor 52 is mounted on the upper surface of the support block 51, providing support for the motor 52. The output shaft of the motor 52 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 53. When the motor 52 starts, it drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate. A turntable 54 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating shaft 53. The rotating shaft 53 and the turntable 54 rotate synchronously. A guide rod 55 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the turntable 54 away from the center. When the turntable 54 rotates, it drives the guide rod 55 to produce... The eccentric motion is generated. The bottom end of the inner surface of the support block 51 is fixedly connected to the support seat 56. The right end of the support seat 56 is hinged to the guide plate 57. The guide plate 57 will rotate around the hinge point between itself and the support seat 56. The upper surface of the guide plate 57 is provided with a guide groove 58, which fits with the guide rod 55. The right end of the lower surface of the guide plate 57 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 59. When the guide plate 57 rotates around the hinge point between itself and the support seat 56, it will drive the connecting rod 59 to swing back and forth. The upper surface of the expansion compartment 2 is provided with an arc groove 510, which fits with the connecting rod 59.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-3The heating element 46 is designed as a U-shape with the opening facing downwards. The fins 44 are spirally distributed on the outer wall of the heating element 46, which can increase the contact area with water mist and ensure the efficiency of steam generation. The mist outlet plate 42 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the expansion chamber 2. The sliding trajectory is arc-shaped, which can expand the water mist spraying area and make the water fully contact the fins 44 at different positions.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The rotating shaft 53 passes through and is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support block 51. The support block 51 provides support for the rotating shaft 53. The center of the rotating shaft 53 and the turntable 54 are located on the same axis. The guide rod 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 58. When the guide rod 55 moves in a circular motion, it will squeeze the guide groove 58, thereby driving the guide plate 57 to rotate around the hinge point between it and the support seat 56. The connecting rod 59 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 510. The connecting rod 59 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mist outlet plate 42. The reciprocating connecting rod 59 will drive the mist outlet plate 42 to reciprocate.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The blocking component includes a baffle 62, which is slidably connected to the inner surface of the expansion chamber 2. The front surface of the baffle 62 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the front side of the expansion chamber 2 through a compression spring 61. Multiple sets of compression springs 61 and baffles 62 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed in the front-back direction with respect to the center line of the expansion chamber 2. Multiple sets of baffles 62 are in contact with the outer wall of the connecting rod 59. Under the action of the compression spring 61, the baffles 62 on both the front and rear sides will always be in contact with the connecting rod 59, blocking the arc groove 510 and preventing steam from flowing out.

[0040] Working principle: When the device is idle, the water inlet pipe 41 is connected to an external water source, and the electric heating tube 46 is powered on and in standby mode. When in use, the water source is turned on, and water will be sprayed out in a mist form from the mist outlet plate 42 through the water inlet pipe 41. When the water mist comes into contact with the electric heating tube 46 and the fins 44, it will be rapidly atomized due to the high temperature to form steam (unlike traditional steam generators, which require time to heat the water, steam can be generated quickly from the beginning of use). Excess water will flow to the bottom of the inner wall of the device shell 1.

[0041] Water falling to the bottom of the inner wall of the device housing 1 will come into contact with the outer wall of the heating tube 46 and will also be heated to generate steam, further increasing the steam generation speed. When it is necessary to slow down the steam generation speed, the water source size can be controlled to control the water output of the mist plate 42.

[0042] Motor 52 drives shaft 53 to rotate turntable 54. Guide rod 55 slides in guide groove 58, forcing guide plate 57 to swing back and forth around hinge point of support seat 56. Connecting rod 59 swings with guide plate 57, causing mist plate 42 to slide along arc groove 510, so that water mist evenly covers different areas of electric heating tube 46, improving steam generation efficiency. When connecting rod 59 swings, compression spring 61 pushes multiple baffles 62 to always stick tightly to connecting rod 59, sealing the gap of arc groove 510 and preventing steam from leaking from expansion chamber 2.

[0043] The generated steam is discharged through the trough 3 at the top of the device housing 1 for use in the sauna.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
