[0044] After being preheated through multiple fuel channels in the preheating part 12 to a point close to the ignition point of the fuel, the fuel enters the combustion chamber 11 through the fuel port 121. The space of the combustion chamber 11 is designed to be consistent with the space required for the flame combustion of the corresponding fuel, that is, away from the fuel port 121, the space of the combustion chamber 11 tends to become larger, thereby ensuring that the fuel entering the combustion chamber 11 can be fully burned in the space of the combustion chamber 11 and fully release heat; so that the thermoelectric generator can absorb more heat, thereby promoting heat conversion rate and improving energy density.
[0045] An optional implementation manner is to further include a fuel supply portion 13, which is in communication with the fuel channel and is used to deliver fuel to the fuel channel to provide fuel for the burner, thereby ensuring that the burner burns and generates heat.

An optional implementation is that the first heat transfer member 122 is evenly distributed on both sides of the preheating part 12, and is used to heat the fuel passing through the fuel channel. The first heat transfer member 122 plays a role of heat transfer and heat conduction, and introduces heat to the preheating part 12, thereby preheating the fuel passing through the fuel channel, so that the fuel can be fully burned after entering the combustion chamber 11. The first heat transfer member 122 can be a rib column, and the rib column can be circular, elliptical, square, triangular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes; the first heat transfer member 122 can also be a protrusion, such as a circular protrusion, a square protrusion, an irregular protrusion, etc. In actual application, the shape of the first heat transfer member 122 can be comprehensively considered based on cost, finished product difficulty, mold opening difficulty, heat conduction effect and cost performance.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] Combined with Figure 1-15 Compared with the technical solution of Example 1, a burner of this embodiment can be improved as follows: it includes a first side plate 103, a second plate 102 and a third plate 101, wherein the second plate 102 and the third plate 101 are respectively connected to both sides of the preheating part 12, and the first side plate 103 connects the second plate 102, the preheating part 12 and the third plate 101 to form the combustion chamber 11. The combustion chamber 11 is formed by combining two first side plates 103, one second plate 102 and one third plate 101, thereby ensuring full combustion of the fuel.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] Combined with Figure 1-15, a burner of this embodiment, compared with the technical solution of embodiment 1 or 2, can also be improved as follows: the number of the combustion chambers 11 is more than 3, the space size of the single combustion chamber 11, and the number of combustion chambers 11 can be determined based on the total heat that the burner can generate, and the power generation level of the corresponding temperature difference generator. An optional implementation is that the combustion chambers 11 have 3, 4 or 5 in total. When the combustion chambers 11 are 3, they include a first combustion chamber 111, a second combustion chamber 112 and a third combustion chamber 113 that are connected in sequence, and the space occupied by the first combustion chamber 111, the second combustion chamber 112 and the third combustion chamber 113 gradually increases; the shape space of the first combustion chamber 111, the second combustion chamber 112 and the third combustion chamber 113 can be square, arc, etc. respectively. In actual use, the design of the combustion chamber 11 can comprehensively consider parameters such as fuel type, fuel flow rate, pressure, etc., and combine the combustion flame characteristics of the corresponding fuel to set the space size of the combustion chamber 11 according to empirical values.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the outer sides of the combustion chamber 11 and the preheating part 12 are both provided with a first fixing part 14 for fixing the burner. The first fixing part 14 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 141 for passing a connecting piece, thereby facilitating fixing the burner.

The second heat transfer member 1101 plays a role in heat transfer and conduction, and introduces the heat generated by the full combustion of the fuel into the combustion chamber 11. Compared with relying solely on gas heat conduction, heat loss can be reduced.

The heat collection plate 2 is in full contact with the outside of both sides of the burner, so that the heat generated by the full combustion of the fuel can be collected, and then the heat can be quickly and timely converted into electrical energy without loss.
[0057] An optional implementation is that the heat collecting plate 2 is provided with a baffle 5 for fixing the burner and the heat collecting plate 2 at one end away from the preheating part 12, and the heat transfer channel 114 is provided between the baffle 5 and the combustion chamber 11. The baffle 5 is used to fix the burner and the heat collecting plate 2 on one hand, and is used to cooperate with the combustion chamber 11 to form the heat transfer channel 114. After the fuel is fully burned in the combustion chamber 11, on the one hand, the heat is transferred to the third heat transfer member 201 on the heat collecting plate 2 provided outside the combustion chamber 11 through the heat conduction and heat transfer effect of the combustion chamber 11 itself and the second heat transfer member 1101 on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 11. On the other hand, the flue gas with residual heat generated by the full combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber 11 is transferred to the outside of the combustion chamber 11, that is, the space between the combustion chamber 11 and the heat collecting plate 2 through the heat transfer channel 114, so that the third heat transfer member 201 fully absorbs the heat and transfers it to the heat collecting plate 2. The baffle plate 5 is provided with a plurality of third fixing holes 51, and the heat collecting plate 2 and the baffle plate 5 are matched with a plurality of fourth fixing holes 202, and the third fixing holes 51 match with the fourth fixing holes 202, so as to fix the baffle plate 5 and the heat collecting plate 2 together by means of fixing parts such as screws, bolts or screws.

By controlling the electrical connection mode between the two thermoelectric power generation sheets 3 located on the heat collecting plate 2 and the controller, the two thermoelectric power generation sheets 3 can be connected in parallel or in series, so that the power level of the controller outputting electrical energy can be different.
[0062] On the one hand, the temperature difference power generation sheet 3 is in contact with the heat collecting plate 2 over a large area to ensure uniform temperature; in addition, the scale, compactness and homogeneity of the heat collecting structure make the heat collecting structure present a symmetrical arrangement, which can ensure the same potential energy of temperature difference power generation, reduce the number of voltage stabilizing modules in the controller and the settings of voltage stabilizing modules of different specifications, reduce the space occupied by the voltage stabilizing modules, facilitate the integration, modularization, scale and batch production of temperature difference generators, and further reduce the cost of temperature difference power generation; it is easy to install, has strong adaptability, and has flexible and changeable structural settings. It can be flexibly arranged and designed according to the volume or shape of different exhaust outlets.
[0063] An optional implementation of this embodiment is that the controller includes a plurality of voltage stabilizing modules arranged in parallel or in series, and the thermoelectric power generation sheet 3 is connected to the voltage stabilizing modules. The voltage stabilizing modules are used to stably output the electric energy converted by the thermoelectric power generation sheet 3 into electric energy of corresponding voltage level, so that they can be connected in parallel or in series, and then output stable electric energy for use by electrical equipment.
[0064] An optional implementation is that the controller further includes a protection circuit for protecting the voltage stabilizing module. By setting up a protection circuit, damage to the voltage stabilizing module caused by abnormal changes in the electric potential energy generated by the burner or the heat collection structure is prevented, so as to protect the voltage stabilizing module, thereby ensuring the safety of the structural equipment at the rear end of the thermoelectric power generation sheet 3 and playing a timely and effective protection role.

(2) The intermediate body (i.e., the burner) can recover the flue gas waste heat to preheat the unburned fuel, and at the same time has a multi-stage (3-5 stages) self-stabilizing burner, which can adapt to different flow rates (combustion power). In addition, the fuel is preheated through multiple fuel channels and sprayed from the fuel port 121, so that the combustion is more uniform and the pollutant emission is lower.

The preheated fuel enters the combustion chamber 11 through the fuel port 121, and the space of the combustion chamber 11 is away from the fuel port 121, showing a trend of increasing; the fuel is fully burned in the combustion chamber 11. On the one hand, the generated heat is transferred to the heat collecting plate 2 outside the combustion chamber 11 through the second heat transfer element 1101, and on the other hand, the residual heat of the flue gas is transferred to the heat collecting plate 2 through the heat transfer channel 114 and the two sides of the combustion chamber 11. The heat collecting plate 2 is provided with a plurality of third heat transfer elements 201, which can also further improve the heat transfer and heat conduction effects, reduce heat loss, increase the heat transfer speed, and promote the efficiency of heat conversion into electrical energy.
