Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a steam heat generator that can simultaneously generate steam and heat to perform combined wet and dry heating.

To heat and humidify a room, heating devices such as heaters and stoves are generally used for heating.
A humidifier is used for humidification, but it is extremely uneconomical to purchase a heating device and a humidifier separately, and it is necessary to operate both devices separately to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity in the room. This has the disadvantage that the control operation becomes very complicated and cannot be controlled correctly.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a steam heat generator that can simultaneously generate steam and heating temperature from a single device, and can also control humidity by adjusting the heating temperature. One embodiment will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the drawing, 1 indicates a large number of heat dissipation fins 2 on the circumference.
... is attached to the outer pot, and a sheathed heater 3 is embedded within the thickness of the peripheral surface. Reference numeral 4 denotes an inner pot housed inside the outer pot 1, the top surface of which is open, and an appropriate amount of water 5 stored therein. 6 is a lid that closes the upper surface of the outer pot 1, and this lid 6 has a plurality of steam release holes 6a.
...is opened. Further, 1a . . . indicates a plurality of steam release grooves formed at intervals on the upper edge of the outer pot 1.
Next, what is generally indicated by reference numeral 7 in FIG. This water supply device 7 is roughly divided into two parts: a water supply valve 8 and a float 9. The water supply valve, generally indicated by the reference numeral 8 in FIG. 3, consists of a valve barrel 8a and a valve shaft 8c inserted in a slide hole 8b of the valve barrel 8a so as to be vertically slidable in close contact with the valve barrel 8a. The valve barrel 8a is constructed by inserting a threaded portion 8d provided at the upper end into a mounting hole 6b drilled in the center of the lid 6 from below and tightening it with a nut 10, as shown in FIG. It is installed vertically on the bottom surface of the lid 6 as shown in FIG. 8e and 8f are the valve cylinders 8
Hose attachment pipes protruding from both the left and right sides of a, one pipe 8e is provided with a water supply hole 8e', the other pipe 8f is provided with a supply hole 8f', and both holes 8
The inner end ports of e' and 8f' respectively penetrate to the slide hole 8b. 8c' is a valve groove formed in a ring shape on the circumferential surface of the valve shaft 8c, and if this groove 8c' matches even a little with the holes 8e' and 8f' by vertical sliding of the valve shaft 8c, water will flow out. The system has become such that it is supplied. Sho 8
c'' indicates a stopper provided at the upper end of the valve shaft 8c.

Further, the float 9 has a mounting shaft 9 protruding from the top surface.
By screwing the tip threaded portion 9a' of a into the threaded hole 8c recessed in the lower end side of the valve shaft 8c,
As shown in FIG. 2, it is installed vertically within the inner pot 4. Inner pot 4
The position of the float 9 inside is the screw hole 8c.
The amount of water 5 to be accommodated in the inner pot 4 is determined by the vertical position of the float 9. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a water supply hose whose tip 11a is inserted into the outer pot 1 and connected to the one attachment pipe 8e, and whose root end is connected to a storage tank (not shown). Further, 12 indicates a supply hose connected to the other attachment pipe 8f.

Figures 2 and 3 show a state in which the water supply device 7 described above has stopped supplying water, and if the water 5 in the inner pot 4 evaporates due to the steam action described later and the water level drops even a little, the float 9 sinks and lowers the valve shaft 8c so that the valve groove 8c' matches the mouth ends of the water supply hole 8e' and the supply hole 8f'. If these valve groove 8c' and both holes 8e' and 8f' match even slightly, water in the water supply hole 8e' sent from the water supply hose 11 will flow into the valve groove 8c'.
c' and the supply hole 8f, and the inner pot 4 via the supply hose 12.
water is supplied inside. When water is supplied, float 9
As the water rises to the surface, the water supply is stopped, but the inner pot 4
When the water in the container continues to evaporate, the water supply device 7 continuously supplies water in an amount proportional to the amount of water consumed in a drip state. Therefore, the above-mentioned water supply device 7 using the float 9 sensitively senses the amount of water in the inner pot 4 and supplies water in a precise drip manner, so that the water temperature in the inner pot 4 is suddenly lowered by water supply. There is no risk of it happening.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a box to which a motor 14 is attached, and is supported on the upper surface of the lid 6 by a plurality of legs 13a. Reference numeral 15 denotes a fan rotated by the motor 14, which rotates approximately at the center of the upper surface of the lid 6 and can diffuse the steam ejected from the steam release holes 6a and the release grooves 1a to the surrounding area. . In the figure, reference numeral 16 indicates a thermostat for adjusting the heating temperature of the sheathed heater 3, and reference numeral 17 indicates a fitting for mounting the water supply hose 11.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, when an appropriate amount of water 5 is poured into the inner pot 4 and the power switch of the sheathed heater 3 is turned on to heat the outer pot 1, the inner pot 4 is also heated by heat conduction. water 5 is boiled to generate steam. Steam is released through steam release holes 6a... and release grooves 1a.
... is ejected to the outside of the outer pot 1 and diffused into the surrounding area by the fan 15. Due to the generation of steam, the inner pot 4
If the amount of water in the inner pot 4 decreases even a little, the water supply device 7 immediately operates and automatically supplies an amount of water proportional to the amount of water consumed, so a certain amount of water is always boiling in the inner pot 4. It turns out. In addition, since water is not directly stored in the outer pot 1 heated by the sheathed heater 3, a pre-designed temperature (for example, 250
℃) and diffuses the heating temperature into the surroundings together with the vapor.

As described above, according to the present invention, steam and heat can be mixed and generated from a single generator, which is convenient for use in production. The fan efficiently exchanges heat to generate heating temperature, and the generated steam and heat are diffused into the surrounding area by the fan, making it possible to uniformly humidify and heat the room.

Further, in the present invention, since the amount of water stored in the inner pot is always maintained at a constant amount by the water supply device, it is possible to equalize the amount of steam generated, and
By controlling the degree of heating of the outer pot by the heater with a thermostat, it is possible to control the amount of steam generated, that is, the humidity, so there is no need to perform troublesome humidity control using a hygrometer, etc. It is also possible to maintain the indoor temperature and humidity at all times.

Furthermore, in the present invention, water is placed in the inner pot so that it does not come into direct contact with the outer pot, so the outer pot can be accurately heated to a preset temperature, and the amount of water in the inner pot can be adjusted by operating the water supply device. In addition, by adjusting the heating temperature of the outer pot with a heater using a thermostat, it is possible to obtain the amount of steam and heat that suits the purpose. It can be widely used for raising chicks, computer rooms, various gardening houses, etc.
It can also be used as a dryer by completely draining the water from the inner pot and making it all dry.
It is an extremely innovative product in that it is easy to use and highly safe.
