Cooker and steam generator

A cooker comprising:

• a cavity having a cooking chamber formed therein;
• a door configured to open and close the cooking chamber;
• and
• a steam generator connected with the cavity and configured to supply steam into the cooking chamber,
• wherein the steam generator comprises:
• a heating chamber having a heating space formed therein;
• a steam discharge port through which the steam in the heating space is discharged;
• a residual water discharge port through which steam water in the heating space is discharged;
• a heater provided at the heating chamber and configured to provide heat to the heating space;
• a residual water discharge pipe connected with the residual water discharge port and configured to selectively discharge the steam water in the heating space to an outside of the steam generator;
• and
• a thermistor that is disposed between the steam discharge port and residual water discharge port and that is configured to measure a temperature of the heating space,
• wherein a first end of the residual water discharge pipe is connected with the residual water discharge port, and a second end of the residual water discharge pipe is located at a position lower than the residual water discharge port, and a portion of the residual water discharge pipe that is between the first end and the second end is arranged at a position higher than the residual water discharge port,
• wherein the heating chamber further comprises at least one baffle fixed to an inner surface of the heating chamber and configured to restrict a movement of the steam flowing from the heating space to the steam discharge port,
• wherein the at least one baffle comprises:
• (i) a guide portion which vertically extends from the heating chamber and (ii) an interference portion which horizontally extends from an upper end of the guide portion,
• wherein the steam generator further comprises:
• a chamber body;
• a chamber cover configured to couple to the chamber body to define the heating chamber with the chamber body;
• a water supply port disposed at the chamber cover and configured to supply the steam water into the heating space;
• a first protruding portion that protrudes from the chamber body toward an outside of the chamber body, the first protruding portion defining an expanded heating space that extends from the heating space toward the outside of the chamber body, that is disposed vertically above the thermistor, and that is configured to accommodate the steam water supplied into the heating space;
• and
• an overflow prevention portion disposed at the chamber cover and configured to prevent the steam water in the heating space from being discharged to the steam discharge port,
• wherein the at least one baffle is arranged at an inner surface of the chamber body at a position that is higher than the first protruding portion and lower than the steam discharge port,
• wherein the overflow prevention portion is disposed between the water supply port and the at least one baffle, and protrudes toward the heating space,
• wherein the thermistor protrudes from an outer surface of the chamber body and is disposed lower than a lower end of the first protruding portion and higher than the residual water discharge port,
• wherein the residual water discharge pipe comprises:
• a first pipe portion that is connected to the residual water discharge port and that extends upward away from the residual water discharge port, and
• a second pipe portion that is in communication with an upper end of the first pipe portion and that forms a combination point of the residual water discharge pipe at the upper end of the first pipe portion, wherein the combination point is lower than the steam discharge port, and a lower end of the second pipe portion is disposed at a position lower than the residual water discharge port, and
• wherein the water supply port is located vertically between the steam discharge port and the combination point.
