VAPORIZATION APPARATUS Field of the invention The present invention relates to a vaporization apparatus, especially to a vaporization apparatus, wherein the heat energy can be directly transmitted from bottom of the base to the bottom of the heat-conducting fin plate, thus confining thermal energy.
Background of the invention The prior art vapor generating apparatus is generally a heating tray within which water is deposited and heated. The water therein is boiled to vapor and used to sterilization.
As shown in Figs. I and 2, a prior art vapor generating apparatus is composed of a base I a made of material with good thermal conductivity. an accommodation space lOa within the base la and a U-shaped heating pipe I la arranged below the base 1 a. The accommodation space 10a contains a plurality of thermal-conductive fin plates 12a. which facilitate the boiling of water in the accommodation space lOa. When using the vapor generating apparatus, water is put into the accommodation space lOa and then the heating pipe 11 la is powered for heating. The temperature of the heating pipe I la is raised and the heat generated by the heating pipe 11 a is conducted to the sidewall 14a and the fin plates 12a through the bottom portion 13a of the base 1 a. The water in the accommodation space lOa is heated to vaporization and the vapor can be used for sterilization.
However. the heat conducting medium provided by the bottom portion 13a and the sidewall 14a is not sufficient and the effect of the fin plate 12a is

important. In prior art vapor generating apparatus. the heating pipe ! a is I provided below the base la and the fin plate ta is heated only after The provi I thermal energy) is transmitted from the bottom portion 13a through the base ! a The effect of the fin plate 1'-a is influenced.
Summary of the invention It is the first object of the present invention to provide a vaporization apparatus. wherein a heating pipe is completely or partially overlapped with the bottom side of the heat-conducting fin plate and the heat energy can be directly transmitted from bottom of the base to the bottom of the heat-conducting fin plate, thus confining thermal energy.
It is the first object of the present invention to provide a vaporization apparatus. wherein the contact area between a heating pipe and a base is increased.
To achieve the first object, the present invention provides a vaporization apparatus comprising a cover, a base, and a heating pipe. The base is arranged below the cover and assembled integrally with the cover. The base has an accommodation space therein and a heat-conducting fin plate is provided in the accommodation space. The heat-conducting fm plate has a bottom side connected to a bottom side of the base and the heating pipe is arranged below the base. The heating pipe is completely or partially overlapped with the bottom side of the heat-conducting fin plate. The heat energy generated by the heating pipe can be concentrated to the heat-conducting fin plate and water in the accommodation space can be rapidly heated.
To achieve the first object. the present invention provides a vaporization

apparatus wherein the base thereof has a dent corresponding to the heat-conducting fin plate and the heating pipe is received within the dent.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing. in which: Brief description of drawing : Fig. 1 shows the top view of prior art vaporization apparatus : Fig. 2 is a sectional view along line A-A in Fig. 1 : Fig. 3 shows the exploded view of the present invention : Fig. 4 shows the perspective view of the present invention: Fig. 5 shows the top view of the present invention : Fig. 6 shows the sectional view of [he present invention: Fig. 7 shows the top view of another preferred embodiment of the present invention : Fig. 8 shows the top view of still another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed description of the invention With reference now to Figs. 3, 4 and 5. the present invention is intended to provide a vaporization apparatus. The vaporization apparatus comprises a cover 1. a base 2 and a heating pipe 3. The cover 1 has a water inlet 10 and a vapor outlet 11. The water inlet 10 is sealed by a threaded lid 12 after sufficient water is injected into the vaporization apparatus. The vapor outlet 11 can be mounted with a nozzle 13 as shown in Fig. 6 to spay vapor. or connected to a duct (not shown) to guide the vapor out.
<Desc/Clms Page number 4>
The base 2 IS made of material with good thermal conductivity and arranged below the cover I and assembled integrally with the cover 1.
\4oreover. a leakage proof washer 20 is arranged between the cover I and the base 2 to ensure that the vapor generated by the vaporizanon apparatus can only be emitted through the vapor outlet 11. The base 2 contains an accommodation space 2 for storing water and the accommodation space 2 ! contains a heat-conducting fin plate 22. the heat-conducting fin plate 22 is bent to have a cross sectional shape of letter-e"and the bottom of the
heat-conducting fin plate 22 is connected to the bottom portion 23 of the base 2.
The heating pipe. 3 is arranged below'the base : 2 and has a cross sectional shape of letter"e"in accordance with the shape of the heat-conducting fin plate 22. Therefore, the cross section of the healing pipe 3 is completely overlapped with the cross section of the heat-conducting fin plate 22. In other word, the heat can be directly conducted to the heat-conducting fin plate 22 through the base 2 due to the complete overlap between the cross section of the heating pipe 3 and the heat-conducting fin plate 22. The water in the accommodation space 21 can be quickly heated to vapor.
Moreover, as shown in Figs.. 3 and 6, a dent 24 with shape corresponding to that of the heating pipe 3 is provided on bottom of the base 2 to further increase the contact area between the base 2 and the heating pipe 3. The dent 24 also has shape corresponding to that of the heat-conducnng fin pfate 22 and the heating pipe 3 is placed within the dent 24. Therefore. the contact area of the heating pipe 3 is increased and the heating pipe 3 is cJoser to the
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
accommodation space : 2 1 Fig. - shows the top view of another preferred embodiment ofrhe present invention. The cross sectional shape of the heat-conducting fin plate 22 can be adapted according to the geometry of the vaporization apparatus. for example. the cross sectional of letter M". The heating pipe 3 should have a cross sectional shape in accordance with the shape of the heat-conducting fin plate
22.
Fig. 8 shows the top view of still another preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure. the heating pipe 3 has only partial overlap with the bottom of the heat-conducting fin plate 22. The heat of the heating pipe 3 can still transmit to the overlap portion between the cross sectional shape of the heating pipe 3 and the heat-conducting fin plate 22 through the bottom portion 23 of the base : 2. In other word. the present invention is not limited to the structure of complete overlap between the cross sectional shape of the heating pipe 3 and the heat-conducting fin plate 22.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have suggested in the foregoing description. and other will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore. all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
