Abstract

Provided is a superheated-steam generator device, in which the steam-loop-back structure of a steam-heating pipe is simplified and heaters can be individually attached to or removed from the device. The device includes a first disc, a second disc, a third disc, a fourth disc, and a fifth disc; multiple through-holes respectively are provided to the first disc, the third disc, and the fourth disc; at least one long through-hole and one through-hole are provided to the second disc; multiple steam-heating pipes are attached to the through-holes of the third disc and to the through-holes of the fourth disc; loop-back grooves and one through-hole are provided to the fifth disc; heaters that have spiral fins are attached into the through-hole of the first disc so as to cover the through-hole of the first disc; a steam-supply pipe; and a steam-discharge pipe.

Claims (10)

1. A superheated-steam generator device, comprising:

a first disc, a second disc, a third disc, a fourth disc, and a fifth disc;

multiple through-holes that are provided to the first disc, the third disc, and the fourth disc, with the through-holes being arranged so as to be aligned along the same axis;

at least one long through-hole and a through-hole, those being provided to the second disc, with the long through-hole interconnecting two of the through-holes of the first disc with two of the through-holes of the third disc, and the through-hole interconnecting one of the through-holes of the first disc with one of the through-holes of the third disc;

multiple steam-heating pipes that are attached to the third disc at the steam-heating pipe's front end and attached to the fourth disc at the steam-heating pipe's back end;

at least one loop-back groove and a through-hole provided to the fifth disc, with the loop-back groove being dug so as to interconnect two of the through-holes of the fourth disc, and the through-hole aligning with one of the through-holes of the fourth disc;

a heater that has spiral fins and that is inserted through the through-hole of the first disc, with the attaching part of the heater being screwed on the through-hole of the first disc so as to cover the through-hole of the first disc;

a steam-supply pipe that is connected to one of the through-holes of the first disc so as to feed the steam to the through-hole of the second disc; and

a steam-discharge pipe connected to the fifth disc so as to align with the through-hole of the fifth disc.

2. The superheated-steam generator device according to claim 1 , and wherein the attaching part has a gap made such that the inside of the center hole of the fastening part is separated from a main tube of the heater.
