Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat recovery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a gas-fired cooking device with waste heat recovery. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-fired cooking equipment is widely used in catering, food processing, central kitchens and other fields. Its core function is to generate high-temperature steam or hot water through gas combustion for cooking, sterilization, steaming and other processes. However, traditional gas-fired cooking equipment has problems such as low energy utilization, large heat loss and high operating costs. During the combustion process, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas (usually 200~300℃) is directly emitted, causing energy waste and increasing environmental thermal pollution.

[0003] In some existing waste heat recovery equipment, the steam flows at a relatively high speed in the recovery system, resulting in a short heat recovery time and insufficient heat exchange with the cooling medium. This leads to inadequate heat recovery, and scale easily accumulates on the heat exchange tubes, making it difficult to maintain the waste heat recovery equipment. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention is further provided with a control spring between the control board and the partition, which facilitates the control board to move and reset after the control airbag shrinks.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding track is provided inside the exhaust pipe, and the control pipe is slidably disposed within the sliding track, thereby restricting the movement direction of the control pipe and aligning the exhaust holes.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that the recycling bin is provided with a connecting block, the connecting block is provided with a connecting groove, and the bin cover is provided with a connecting post that cooperates with the connecting groove, so as to facilitate the alignment and installation of the recycling bin and the bin cover.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the connecting block is provided with a movable groove, the movable groove is provided with a movable plate, and the movable plate is provided with a connecting sleeve. The movable plate drives the connecting sleeve to move, and the connecting sleeve fixes the relative position of the connecting column and the connecting block, thereby fixing the relative position of the box and the recycling box.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a movable rod is slidably provided on the connecting block, one end of the movable rod is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the other end is provided with a movable handle.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a gas-fired cooking device with waste heat recovery, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By introducing the high-temperature steam generated at the gas outlet of the gas furnace into the heat pipe, the design of the heat pipe and heat-conducting sleeve extends the gas flow path and heat conduction capacity. By setting a hot water pipe on the heat-conducting plate and circulating cold water in the hot water pipe, the hot water cools the hot air while simultaneously heating the cold water, thus realizing the heat recovery of the steam.

[0018] 2. By controlling the air tube to introduce gas into the control airbag, the size of the airbag is adjusted, which in turn adjusts the position of the control plate, control rod, and control tube. By adjusting the overlapping area of ​​the control tube and the exhaust hole on the exhaust pipe, the exhaust speed is adjusted, which makes it easier to flexibly adjust the time of steam in the recovery box and improves the steam heat recovery effect.

[0019] 3. The connection is made by connecting the connecting post on the lid and the connecting slot on the connecting block of the recycling box. The connecting sleeve is then fitted onto the connecting post and the connecting block by the moving rod and the moving plate, which facilitates the connection between the recycling boxes. The connection method is simple to edit. The position of the heat-conducting sleeve and the heat-conducting pipe is fixed by the cooperation of the stabilizing plate and the abutment rod. Opening the lid makes it easy to remove the heat-conducting sleeve and the heat-conducting pipe, which facilitates the cleaning of the internal devices of the recycling box and avoids scale buildup that affects the heat conduction effect and thus the preheating and recycling effect.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A gas-fired cooking device with waste heat recovery includes a gas furnace 1. The gas furnace 1 has a gas outlet connected to a recovery box 2 and a box cover 3. The recovery box 2 is equipped with a heat-conducting pipe 4 and a heat-conducting sleeve 5. A heat-conducting plate 6 is provided between the heat-conducting pipe 4 and the heat-conducting plate 6. A hot water pipe 7 is spirally wound on the heat-conducting plate 6. A drain pipe 8 is provided at the bottom of the recovery box 2. An exhaust pipe 9 is provided at the top of the box cover 3. A partition 10 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 9. A control rod 11 is slidably provided on the partition 10. A control plate 12 is provided at one end of the control rod 11, and a control pipe 13 is provided at the other end. Exhaust holes 14 are provided on the control pipe 13 and the exhaust pipe 9 respectively. A control air bag 15 is provided between the control plate 12 and the exhaust pipe 9. A control air pipe 16 is connected to the outside of the control air bag 15. A control spring 17 is provided between the control plate 12 and the partition 10. A sliding track 18 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 9. The control pipe 13 is slidably disposed in the sliding track 18.

[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the high-temperature steam generated at the outlet of the gas furnace 1 is introduced into the heat pipe 4. The design of the heat pipe 4 and the heat-conducting sleeve 5 extends the gas flow path and time. Cool water is circulated through the inlet and outlet of the hot water pipe 7. The cool water cools the hot steam while simultaneously absorbing heat and heating up, thus recovering and utilizing the heat. Water in the steam condenses into droplets upon cooling and collects in the recovery tank 2, which is periodically discharged through the drain pipe 8. A pressure gauge is installed on the recovery tank 2 to monitor the gas pressure inside. As needed, the pressure can be adjusted via an external connection. The air pump controls the air supply through the air pipe 16, adjusts the size of the control airbag 15, and thus adjusts the position of the control plate 12 and the control rod 11, and adjusts the height of the control pipe 13. By adjusting the degree of overlap between the control pipe 13 and the exhaust hole 14 on the exhaust pipe 9, the exhaust area of ​​the exhaust hole 14 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the exhaust speed, which improves the practicality of the recycling box 2. By setting the control spring 17, the control plate 12 can be moved upward and reset when the control airbag 15 shrinks. When the exhaust hole 14 of the control pipe 13 and the exhaust pipe 9 are completely misaligned, the exhaust hole 14 is blocked, which helps to prevent dust from entering the recycling box 2 when it is not in use.

[0031] Please see Figures 4-5As one embodiment of connecting the recycling bin 2 and the bin cover 3: the recycling bin 2 is provided with a connecting block 19, the connecting block 19 is provided with a connecting groove 20, the bin cover 3 is provided with a connecting post 21 that cooperates with the connecting groove 20, the connecting block 19 is provided with a moving groove 22, the moving groove 22 is provided with a moving plate 23, the moving plate 23 is provided with a connecting sleeve 24, the connecting block 19 is provided with a moving rod 25, one end of the moving rod 25 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 23, and the other end is provided with a moving handle 26, a moving spring 27 is provided between the moving plates 23, the bin cover 3 is provided with an abutting rod 28, one end of the abutting rod 28 abuts against the heat-conducting sleeve 5, and the bottom of the heat-conducting pipe 4 is provided with a stabilizing plate 29.

[0032] More specifically, during assembly and maintenance, the heat pipe 4 is supported at the bottom of the recycling box 2 by the stabilizing plate 29, and the box cover 3 is fastened to the recycling box 2. The heat pipe 4 is supported at the bottom of the heat pipe sleeve 5 by the abutting rod 28, thereby stabilizing the position of the heat pipe sleeve 5, the heat pipe 4 and the heat block. When the box cover 3 is fastened, the moving rod 25 is pulled outward. The moving rod 25 drives the moving plate 23 to move in the moving groove 22 and compress the moving spring 27. The moving plate 23 drives the connecting sleeve 24 to move outward. Then the connecting post 21 on the box cover 3 is connected to the connecting groove 20 of the connecting block 19 on the recycling box 2. The moving rod 25 is released, and the moving plate 23 drives the connecting sleeve 24 to move onto the connecting block 19 and the connecting post 21 under the elastic force of the moving spring 27, thereby fixing the position of the box cover 3. When disassembling the box cover 3, the moving rod 25 is pulled outward.

[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When in use, the high-temperature steam generated at the outlet of the gas furnace 1 is introduced into the heat pipe 4. The design of the heat pipe 4 and the heat-conducting sleeve 5 extends the gas flow path and time. Cool water is circulated through the inlet and outlet of the hot water pipe 7. The cool water cools the hot steam while simultaneously absorbing heat and heating itself, thus recovering and utilizing the heat. Moisture in the steam condenses into droplets upon cooling and collects in the recovery tank 2, which is periodically discharged through the drain pipe 8 (the drain valve is not visible). A pressure gauge is installed on the recovery tank 2 to monitor the gas pressure inside. The system is powerful. As needed, an external air pump is used to ventilate the control air pipe 16, adjust the size of the control airbag 15, and thus adjust the position of the control plate 12 and the control rod 11. The height of the control pipe 13 is also adjusted. By adjusting the degree of overlap between the control pipe 13 and the exhaust hole 14 on the exhaust pipe 9, the exhaust area of ​​the exhaust hole 14 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the exhaust speed. This improves the practicality of the recycling box 2. By setting a control spring 17, the control plate 12 can be moved upward and reset when the control airbag 15 shrinks. When the exhaust hole 14 of the control pipe 13 and the exhaust pipe 9 is completely misaligned, the exhaust hole 14 is blocked, thus preventing dust from entering the recycling box 2 when it is not in use.

[0034] During assembly and maintenance, the heat pipe 4 is supported at the bottom of the recycling box 2 by the stabilizing plate 29. The box cover 3 is fastened to the recycling box 2 and abuts against the bottom of the heat-conducting sleeve 5 by the abutting rod 28, thereby stabilizing the position of the heat-conducting sleeve 5, the heat pipe 4, and the heat-conducting block. When the box cover 3 is fastened, the moving rod 25 is pulled outward. The moving rod 25 drives the moving plate 23 to move in the moving groove 22 and compress the moving spring 27. The moving plate 23 drives the connecting sleeve 24 to move outward. Then, the connecting post 21 on the box cover 3 is connected to the connecting groove 20 of the connecting block 19 on the recycling box 2. The moving rod 25 is released. Under the elastic force of the moving spring 27, the moving plate 23 drives the connecting sleeve 24 to move onto the connecting block 19 and the connecting post 21, thereby fixing the position of the box cover 3. When disassembling the box cover 3, the moving rod 25 is pulled outward.
