The high temperature steam may enter the inner container 110 to heat or sterilize the articles therein. Specifically, the steaming device 100 may further include a heating member 120, a water box 130, and a water pump 140. The water pump 140 may pump water stored in the water tank 130 into the inner container 110. Then, the heating member 120 may heat the inner container 110, so that the water may be formed into steam. The heating element 120 includes, but is not limited to, an electroceramic oven. The liner 110 may be provided with a liner exhaust port 111 and a liner water inlet 112.

The condensation box 200 may be provided on the top wall of the steaming device 100 by any suitable means, such as welding, a connection or a snap fit. The material of the condensation box 200 may be any material including, but not limited to, 304 stainless steel. The shape of the condensation 200 may be any, including but not limited to the cube shape shown in the figures. The condensing box 200 may be provided with a condensing box steam inlet 211, a condensing box drain 212, and a condensing channel 220. The condensing channels 220 may communicate between the condensing box steam inlet 211 and the condensing box drain 212. The condensing channels 220 may extend downwardly from the condensing box steam inlet 211 to the condensing box drain 212. The term "downward" as used herein and hereinafter includes, but is not limited to, vertically downward or obliquely downward. The sloping downward may be a continuous sloping downward or an intermittent sloping downward. The slope of the downward incline may be a constant value or a variable value. That is, the condensing duct 220 may have a linear shape, a curved shape, a zigzag shape, or other irregular shape, etc. The liner exhaust port 211 may be directly or indirectly connected to the condensing box inlet port 111. The condensation box drain 212 may be directly or indirectly connected to the liner water inlet 112.

The heat dissipation fan 300 is used for blowing air towards the condensation box 200, so that the condensation box 200 can be cooled, and the condensation channel 220 in the condensation box 200 can be cooled.

When the steaming device 100 is operated, the excessive steam in the inner container 110 can be discharged through the inner container steam outlet 111 and then enter the condensing channel 220 through the condensing box steam inlet 211. Thus, when the user opens door panel 150 of steaming device 100, the user is not scalded by excessive steam. The condensing passage 220 may condense the steam, so that condensed water may be formed. The condensed water may drain through the condensation box drain 212 and then may enter the liner 110 through the liner water inlet 112. The cooling fan 300 may cool down the condensing duct 220, thereby improving the condensing effect on the steam. In the embodiment in which the steaming device 100 includes the heating member 120, the heating member 120 may form the condensed water into steam, so that the condensed water may be recycled to play a role of saving water resources.

In summary, in the steam device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, since the condensation channel 220 can extend downwards from the steam inlet 211 to the water outlet 212 of the condensation box, the condensed water formed in the condensation channel 220 can be smoothly discharged from the water outlet 212 of the condensation box, and thus can enter the inner container 110 through the water inlet 112 of the inner container. In this way, condensed water is not accumulated in the condensation channel 220, the inner container 110 of the steam device 100 is clean and sanitary, and the health of users can be ensured.

Illustratively, the condensing box 200 may be disposed on the top wall of the steaming device 100 obliquely downward in a direction from the condensing box steam inlet 211 to the condensing box drain 212. This arrangement facilitates the downward sloping of the condensing channels 220 from the condensing box steam inlet 211 to the condensing box drain 212. And, the steam appliance is small in size in the vertical direction, so that miniaturization can be facilitated.

Illustratively, the acute angle α between the condensation box 200 and the top wall of the vapor device 100 may be between 5 degrees and 10 degrees, such as 5 degrees, 6 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 9 degrees, or 10 degrees. Too large an acute angle α may result in an increase in the size of the steaming device in the vertical direction. Too small an acute angle α may cause deterioration of the condensed water discharge effect. Therefore, the acute angle α is reasonable in this range.

Illustratively, the steaming device may further include a steam inlet pipe 410 and a drain pipe 420. The inlet pipe 410 may be connected between the liner outlet 111 and the condensation box inlet 211.

A drain 420 may extend downwardly from the condensate box drain 212 and connect to the liner water inlet 112. The condensed water may pass through the condensation box drain 212, the drain pipe 420, and the liner drain port 111 in order, so as to enter the liner 110. By providing the steam inlet pipe 410 and the drain pipe 420, the degree of freedom in design of the steam device is higher, thereby facilitating design and manufacture. And, the condensed water is not deposited in the drain pipe 420.

Illustratively, the condensing box steam inlet 211 and the condensing box drain outlet 212 may be provided at opposite ends of the condensing box 200, respectively. So arranged, the distance between the condensing box steam inlet 211 and the condensing box drain 212 is longer, thereby making the distance of the condensing channel 220 longer. In this way, the moving path of the steam in the condensing duct 220 is long, the discharge speed of the steam is reduced, and thus the condensing effect can be improved.

Illustratively, the heat dissipation blower 300 is closer to the condensing box steam inlet 211 than the condensing box drain outlet 212. Since the steam enters the condensing channels 220 through the condensing box steam inlet 211, the temperature at the condensing box steam inlet 211 is typically higher. Thus, the cooling effect of the cooling fan 300 on the condensation box 200 is better.

Illustratively, the condensing channels 200 may be non-linear, such as, for example, dog-leg, curved, or otherwise irregular. So set up, the size of condensation passageway 200 is longer to can increase the moving path of steam in condensation passageway 200, slow down the discharge rate of steam, and then can improve the effect of condensation.

The box 210 and the baffle 230 may surround to form the condensation channel 220. The condensing channels 220 may include gaps 221. So arranged, the condensation channel 220 has a simpler structure and lower manufacturing cost of the condensation box 200. Also, the baffle 230 may also serve as a condensing fin, so that the condensing effect of the condensing case 200 may be improved.

Illustratively, the baffle 230 may include a plurality, e.g., two, three, or more. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the baffle 230 may be five. The different baffles 230 may be the same or different in structure. The plurality of baffles 230 may be disposed in parallel or non-parallel.
