[0041] The present application provides a burner suitable for a fuel heating device such as a gas water heater, a gas wall-hanging stove, etc. Hereinafter, the burner will be specifically described by taking the gas water heater as an example:

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 to 6 , and in combination with Figures 7 to 9 , the burner 1 comprises:

[0043] a first fire row 10 having a first injection channel 110, and a first injection inlet 120 and a first fire spouting part 130 respectively located at two ends of the first injection channel 110;

[0044] a fire ignition needle 30 arranged adjacent to the first fire spouting part 130;

[0045] a first wind baffle 20 located at the first injection inlet 120, the first wind baffle 20 having a first air hole 210 arranged corresponding to the first injection inlet 120, and the radial dimension of the first air hole 210 being smaller than the radial dimension of the first injection inlet 120.

[0046] Without loss of generality, the burner 1 comprises a plurality of fire rows arranged in parallel, the fire row having an injection channel, a fire spouting part and an injection inlet, wherein the fire spouting part and the injection inlet are respectively located at two ends of the injection channel, the gas and the air enter the injection channel from the injection inlet, the gas and the air are mixed in the injection channel, and the mixed gas formed is spouted from the fire spouting part to burn. The fire spouting part is usually located at the upper end of the fire row, and the injection inlet is located at the lower end of the fire row, which can be located at the lower end face of the fire row or the side wall of the fire row, which is not limited here.

[0047] The first fire row 10 is the one closest to the ignition needle 30 among the plurality of fire rows, that is, the ignition needle 30 is arranged corresponding to the first fire spouting part 130 of the first fire row 10. Among them, in order to facilitate the ignition of the ignition needle 30, the ignition needle 30 is arranged near the first fire spouting part 130. Correspondingly, the first fire row 10 has a first injection channel 110, a first fire spouting part 130 and a first injection inlet 120.

[0048] The ignition needle 30 can be realized in the way of electronic ignition (piezoelectric ceramic electric spark ignition) or pulse continuous ignition, and the ignition needle 30 can ignite the mixed gas from the first fire spouting part 130, thereby realizing the ignition and combustion of the gas.

[0049] The purpose of arranging the first wind baffle 20 is to reduce the air injection amount of the first fire row 10, thereby reducing the proportion of air in the mixed gas, that is, relatively increasing the concentration of gas in the mixed gas, so that when the ignition needle 30 ignites the mixed gas, it is easier to ignite the mixed gas, avoiding the phenomena of ignition deflagration, flame extinguishing and the like in the ignition process, and improving the reliability of ignition. Among them, in order to reduce the air injection amount of the first fire row 10, the radial size of the first air hole 210 of the first wind baffle 20 is smaller than the radial size of the first injection inlet 120, thereby relatively weakening the injection effect of the first injection inlet 120, so that the injection amount of air entering the first injection inlet 120 is reduced.

[0050] Referring to Figure 7 , in combination with Figures 3 to 6For the first fire row 10, the number of the first injection inlets 120 arranged at the lower end thereof can be multiple, and at least one first injection inlet 120 is provided with the first baffle 20. It can be understood that when the first injection inlets 120 are arranged in three, the first baffles 20 can be simultaneously arranged at the three first injection inlets 120 to simultaneously reduce the air injection amount of the three first injection inlets 120; or the first baffles 20 can be arranged at any two of the three first injection inlets 120; or the first baffle 20 can be arranged at one of the three first injection inlets 120. Due to the presence of the first baffle 20, the air injection amount of the entire first fire row 10 is inevitably reduced, that is, the air ratio of the mixed gas in the entire first fire row 10 is reduced, so that the gas concentration in the mixed gas is relatively increased, and the reliability of ignition is improved.

[0051] It is worth noting that the first injection inlets 120 of the first fire row 10 are arranged in multiple, and the first injection channels 110 of the first fire row 10 can be one or more. When the first fire row 10 has only one first injection channel 110, the lower end of the first injection channel 110 is provided with multiple first injection inlets 120 which respectively communicate with the first injection channel 110; when the first fire row 10 has multiple first injection channels 110, the multiple first injection channels 110 are independent of each other, so that the mixed gas amount of the first fire row 10 is increased, thereby being beneficial to enhancing the combustion intensity.

[0052] In the embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 , and in combination with Figures 3 to 6 , the first fire row 10 preferably has multiple first injection channels 110, and the multiple injection channels all communicate with the first fire injection part 130, and the injection inlets are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the injection channels. In a specific embodiment, the first fire row 10 has three first injection channels 110 and three first injection inlets 120, and the three injection channels are arranged in parallel along the horizontal direction.

[0053] When the burner 1 is working, the temperature of the first fire row 10 is relatively high, and the first baffle 20 is preferably made of a high-temperature-resistant material. In order to facilitate the installation of the first baffle 20, the first baffle 20 is preferably a sheet metal part, so as to be fixed on the first fire row 10 by welding.

[0054] Further, the first baffle 20 comprises a plate body 220 and a connecting flange 230 extending from the plate body 220 to one side, and the connecting flange 230 is fixed to the first fire row 10;

[0055] The plate body 220 covers the first injection inlet 120, and the plate body 220 is provided with a first air hole 210 at a position corresponding to the first injection inlet 120.

[0056] The connecting flange 230 is fixed to the first fire grate 10 by welding, thereby reliably fixing the first baffle 20 to the first fire grate 10. The plate body 220 is located at the lower end of the first fire grate 10, and the plate body 220 covers the first injection inlet 120. The structure of the first air hole 210 provided on the plate body 220 is equivalent to reducing the radial dimension of the first injection inlet 120, thereby weakening the injection effect at the first injection inlet 120, i.e. reducing the amount of air entering the first injection passage through the first injection inlet 120, relatively increasing the gas concentration of the mixed gas, and more conducive to reliable ignition of the gas.

[0057] The connecting flange 230 is preferably formed by folding the edge of the plate body 220. In order to facilitate the bending and folding of the connecting flange 230, a notch can be provided on the connecting flange 230 near the plate body 220, thereby reducing the connection area of the connecting flange 230 and the plate body 220.

[0058] In order to further improve the ignition effect of the ignition needle 30, in the present embodiment, an induction baffle 140 can also be provided on the first fire grate 10. The induction baffle 140 is a conductor, and a sharp protrusion is provided on the induction baffle corresponding to the ignition needle 30. The sharp protrusion and the ignition needle 30 generate a sharp end discharge phenomenon, thereby improving the ignition effect.

[0059] Specifically, for the first fire grate 10, the first fire grate 10 has a plurality of first injection holes 131, and the first fire grate 10 is provided with an induction baffle 140 extending towards the ignition needle 30. The induction baffle 140 is at least partially arranged around at least one of the plurality of first injection holes 131, and the end of the induction baffle 140 close to the ignition needle 30 is in a sharp shape.

[0060] It can be understood that the end of the induction baffle 140 close to the ignition needle 30 is in a sharp shape, thereby generating a sharp end discharge phenomenon between the induction baffle 140 and the ignition needle 30. The induction baffle 140 is arranged around the first injection hole 131, so that the induction baffle can converge the mixed gas sprayed from the first injection hole 131, thereby increasing the concentration of the mixed gas at the sharp end discharge position, and more conducive to ignition of the mixed gas.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the minimum distance between the end of the induction baffle 140 facing the ignition needle 30 and the first injection hole 131 is preferably 6-7 mm, so that the ignition position of the mixed gas is not too close to the first injection hole 131, thereby avoiding the backfire phenomenon caused by the combustion flame being too close to the first injection hole 131.

[0062] Further, in the above-mentioned burner 1, the plurality of fire rows further comprises a second fire row 40, the second fire row 40 having a second injection channel, and a second injection inlet and a second flame injection part respectively located at two ends of the second injection channel. The structure of the second fire row 40 can be similar to that of the first fire row 10, or can be completely different, which is not specifically limited here.

[0063] In the embodiment, the structure of the second fire row 40 of the above-mentioned burner 1 is preferably similar to that of the first fire row 10, and the difference is that the second fire row 40 is not provided with the induction baffle 140. Specifically, the above-mentioned burner 1 further comprises:

[0064] an induction needle 60 arranged close to the second flame injection part; and

[0065] a second wind baffle 50 located at the second injection inlet, the second wind baffle 50 having a second air hole corresponding to the second injection inlet, the radial dimension of the second air hole being smaller than that of the second injection inlet.

[0066] Specifically, the above-mentioned induction needle 60 can use a thermocouple or a thermal element as a temperature sensing component, thereby realizing detection of the combustion temperature. The working principle of the second wind baffle 50 is similar to that of the first wind baffle 20, and by arranging the second wind baffle 50, the gas concentration of the mixed gas in the second injection channel can be improved, which is more conducive to the combustion of the gas near the induction needle 60, so that the induction needle 60 can better detect the combustion temperature.

[0067] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the second fire row 40 is arranged close to the first fire row 10, and at this time, the induction needle 60 is arranged close to the ignition needle 30, and at this time, the local gas concentration near the induction needle 60 and the ignition needle 30 is larger, which is more conducive to the ignition and combustion of the gas at the local position.

[0068] Since the first fire row 10 and the second fire row 40 are close to each other, at this time, the positions of the first wind baffle 20 and the second wind baffle 50 are also close to each other, in order to simplify the structure of the burner 1, the first wind baffle 20 and the second wind baffle 50 are integrally arranged, that is, the first air hole 210 corresponding to the first injection inlet 120 and the second air hole corresponding to the second injection inlet can be respectively formed on the same baffle body 220.

[0069] It is worth noting that, with reference to Figure 3For the present burner 1, the first wind baffle 20 and the second wind baffle 50 only reduce the air induction amount at the first fire row 10 and the second fire row 40, so that the gas concentration at the ignition and induction positions is increased. For the whole burner 1, the air induction amount of the remaining fire rows does not change, that is, the first fire row 10 and the second fire row 40 have limited influence on the whole burner 1, so that the defect that the nitrogen oxide produced after the combustion of the burner 1 is increased due to the change of the air induction amount in the first fire row 10 and the second fire row 40 does not occur.

[0070] The present application also provides a gas water heater, which comprises the burner, the specific structure of which is referred to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the present gas water heater adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] The above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made according to the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields under the inventive concept of the present application is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
