Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of boiler technology, and in particular relates to a novel natural gas boiler. Background Technology

[0002] A natural gas boiler is a type of gas-fired steam boiler. It is a heat energy conversion device that uses natural gas as fuel to heat water in the boiler by burning it in the furnace, causing it to vaporize into steam. The water in the boiler is continuously heated by the energy released from the combustion of the gaseous fuel in the furnace, raising its temperature and generating pressurized steam. The expansion of the steam inside is restricted, generating pressure and forming thermal power.

[0003] Existing natural gas boilers have low combustion efficiency and poor water heating effect. Cleaning the boiler interior manually using existing cleaning devices has technical problems such as low cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the inability to detect the gas inside the boiler can easily lead to incomplete combustion of the gas. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Optionally, the elastic element is a plurality of springs, each of which is spaced apart on the fixed plate.

[0010] Optionally, the installation mechanism includes an installation part and two semi-circular fixing rings adapted to the installation port, and both semi-circular fixing rings are slidably connected to the installation part, and the installation part is rotatably connected to the rotating block; a connecting rod is slidably connected between the bottoms of the two semi-circular fixing rings, and the two ends of the connecting rod are provided with limiting parts; a fixing part is provided at the top of each of the two semi-circular fixing rings, and a coaxial locking hole is provided on each of the two fixing parts.

[0011] Optionally, the mounting part is provided with a sliding hole, and the semi-circular fixing ring is provided with a limiting rod, which extends into the sliding hole and can slide within the sliding hole.

[0012] Optionally, the novel natural gas boiler further includes a combustion-supporting control system, which includes a controller, a hydrogen-oxygen generator, a natural gas storage tank, a first flow valve, a second flow valve, a third flow valve, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor.

When the boiler is in use, gas is simultaneously introduced into the furnace, cold water is introduced into the boiler body, and then the burner is started.

The combustion produces exhaust gas, which forms at the end of the furnace near the installation port. This exhaust gas enters the first return flue pipe group, which is arranged vertically and horizontally and connected to the furnace. The vertical and horizontal arrangement of the first return flue pipe group increases the exhaust gas's travel distance, improving heat exchange efficiency. After passing through the first return flue pipe group, the exhaust gas enters the second return flue pipe group, which also increases the exhaust gas's travel distance, effectively improving heat exchange efficiency. After passing through the second return flue pipe group, the exhaust gas enters the heat recovery device through the exhaust pipe. The heat recovery device condenses the water vapor in the exhaust gas, thereby reducing its temperature before it is discharged, thus improving the boiler's thermal efficiency. When cleaning the inside of the furnace is required, the cleaning end of the boiler cleaning device is inserted into the furnace through the installation port, and then the boiler cleaning device is connected to the installation port. This ensures that the boiler cleaning device is stable during the cleaning process, making cleaning convenient, efficient, and thorough. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figs. 1-5 As shown, a novel natural gas boiler is provided, including a boiler body 10, a burner 20, a boiler cleaning device 30, a heat recovery device 40, a first flue gas return pipe assembly 50, a second flue gas return pipe assembly 60, and a water supply device 70. The water supply device 70 is connected to the outside of the boiler body 10 and is used to introduce water into the boiler body 10. A furnace chamber 11 is provided inside the boiler body 10. One end of the furnace chamber 11 is connected to the burner 20, and the other end has an installation port 12. The first flue gas return pipe assembly 50 is horizontally arranged beside the furnace chamber 11 and communicates with it. The second flue gas return pipe assembly 60 is located at the bottom of the first flue gas return pipe assembly 50, and the second flue gas return pipe assembly 60 is connected to the first flue gas return pipe assembly 50 through a flue gas communication hood 13, which is located beside the burner 20. A flue gas outlet pipe 14 is provided at the end of the second flue gas return pipe assembly 60 away from the flue gas communication hood 13, and the flue gas outlet pipe 14 is connected to the heat recovery device 40. The heat recovery device 40 is located on the top of the boiler body 10. The boiler cleaning device 30 is detachably installed on the boiler body 10 through the mounting port 12, and one end of the boiler cleaning device 30 extends into the furnace 11 for cleaning the inner wall of the furnace 11.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment of the novel natural gas boiler, the water supply device 70 is connected to the interior of the boiler body 10 via a pipe and is used to introduce cold water into the boiler body 10. The furnace liner 11, the first return flue pipe group 50, and the second return flue pipe group 60 are all horizontally arranged, and both ends of the furnace liner 11, both ends of the first return flue pipe group 50, and both ends of the second return flue pipe group 60 extend to both ends of the boiler body 10. The mounting port 12 is located on the outside of the boiler body 10 and communicates with the interior of the furnace liner 11. The furnace liner 11 has an opening on the side near the mounting port 12, and this opening communicates with the first return flue pipe group 50. The flue gas connecting hood 13 is fixedly installed outside the boiler body 10, serving to guide exhaust gas from the first return flue pipe group 50 into the second return flue pipe group 60, while preventing exhaust gas from escaping.

[0039] The boiler cleaning device 30 is detachably connected to the boiler body 10. When the boiler body 10 is in use, the boiler cleaning device 30 is removed. During boiler operation, gas is simultaneously introduced into the furnace 11, and cold water is introduced into the boiler body 10. Then, the burner 20 is started. Since the burner 20 is connected to the furnace 11, it ignites the gas inside the furnace 11. The combustion of the gas generates a large amount of heat energy, producing exhaust gas. This exhaust gas forms at the end of the furnace 11 near the installation port 12. The exhaust gas enters the first return flue pipe group 50, which is arranged longitudinally and horizontally and connected to the furnace 11. The longitudinal horizontal arrangement of the first return flue pipe group 50 increases the exhaust gas travel distance, improving heat exchange efficiency. After passing through the first return flue pipe group 50, the exhaust gas enters the second return flue pipe group 60. The longitudinal horizontal arrangement of the second return flue pipe group 60 also increases the exhaust gas travel distance, effectively improving heat exchange efficiency. The exhaust gas forms an S-shaped loop between the first and second return flue pipe groups 50 and 60. After passing through the second flue gas pipe group 60, the exhaust gas enters the heat recovery device 40 through the flue gas outlet pipe 14. The heat recovery device 40 condenses the water vapor in the exhaust gas, thereby reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas, and then it is discharged, thus improving the thermal efficiency of the boiler.

[0040] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the furnace 11, open the installation port 12 (the installation port 12 is closed when the boiler is in normal use). Insert the cleaning end of the boiler cleaning device 30 into the furnace 11 through the installation port 12. Then connect the boiler cleaning device 30 to the installation port 12 to ensure that the boiler cleaning device 30 is stable, easy to clean, and more efficient and clean during the cleaning process.

[0041] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figs. 4-5As shown, the boiler cleaning device 30 includes a moving block 31, a drive mechanism 32, a cleaning mechanism 33, a lead screw 34, a mounting mechanism 35, and a rotating block 36. The mounting mechanism 35 is mounted on the mounting port 12. The rotating block 36 is rotatably connected to the mounting mechanism 35 and located outside the boiler body 10. The lead screw 34 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 36, and one end of the lead screw 34 extends horizontally into the furnace chamber 11. The moving block 31 is located inside the furnace chamber 11 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 34. The drive mechanism 32 is fixedly mounted on the moving block 31, and the moving end of the drive mechanism 32 is perpendicular to the lead screw 34 and positioned away from the lead screw 34. The cleaning mechanism 33 is located at the moving end of the drive mechanism 32 and is used to clean the interior of the furnace chamber 11.

[0042] Specifically, when installing the boiler cleaning device 30, one end of the lead screw 34, which is equipped with the moving block 31, drive mechanism 32, and cleaning mechanism 33, is inserted into the furnace chamber 11 through the installation port 12. Then, it is fixedly connected to the installation port 12 via the installation mechanism 35, ensuring the stability of the moving block 31, drive mechanism 32, and cleaning mechanism 33 during movement, with the lead screw 34 coinciding with the axis of the furnace chamber 11. A handle 37 is vertically connected to the side of the rotating block 36 facing away from the installation mechanism 35. When the operator rotates the handle 37, the rotating block 36 rotates, causing the lead screw 34 to rotate. Since the lead screw 34 is threadedly connected to the rotating block 36, the horizontal movement of the moving block 31 within the furnace chamber 11 is achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw 34. Simultaneously, during the movement of the rotating block 36, the drive mechanism 32 and cleaning mechanism 33 on the moving block 31 move together. Once the installation mechanism 35 is installed, the drive mechanism 32 is activated, driving the cleaning mechanism 33 toward the inner wall of the furnace 11, so that the cleaning mechanism 33 can clean the inner wall of the furnace 11.

[0043] Among them, the drive mechanism 32 can be a drive cylinder.

[0044] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figs. 4-5As shown, the cleaning mechanism 33 includes a fixed plate 331, a cleaning brush 332, and an elastic element 333. The fixed plate 331 is connected to the moving end of the drive mechanism 32. One end of the elastic element 333 is connected to the fixed plate 331, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 332. The cleaning brush 332 is located on the side of the fixed plate 331 away from the drive mechanism 32. Specifically, when cleaning the inner wall of the furnace liner 11, the drive mechanism 32 drives the fixed plate 331 to move, and the fixed plate 331 drives the elastic element 333 and the cleaning brush 332 to move until the cleaning brush 332 contacts the inner wall of the furnace liner 11, and until the fixed plate 331 compresses the elastic element 333 to make the cleaning brush 332 tightly contact the inner wall of the furnace liner 11. This can thoroughly and effectively clean stubborn stains inside the furnace liner 11. At the same time, since the cleaning brush 332 is connected to the fixed plate 331 through the elastic element 333, the cleaning brush 332 can be finely adjusted according to the tilt angle of the inner wall of the furnace liner 11 for better cleaning of the inner wall of the furnace liner 11.

[0045] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Fig. 5 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 33 also includes two spaced-apart slide rods 334. One end of each slide rod 334 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 332, and the other end passes through the fixing plate 331 and is slidably connected to the fixing plate 331. Specifically, during the process of the driving mechanism 32 driving the fixing plate 331 to compress the elastic element 333, so that the cleaning brush 332 is in contact with the inner wall of the furnace liner 11, in order to ensure that the cleaning brush 332 is not easily dropped during cleaning, the slide rods 334 are provided. When the elastic element 333 is compressed, the slide rods 334 and the fixing plate 331 move relative to each other, and the maximum width of the hole provided on the fixing plate 331 is greater than the diameter of the slide rod 334, so that the cleaning brush 332 still maintains a certain degree of angle adjustability. Furthermore, through the limiting effect of the slide rods 334, the cleaning brush 332 is not easily dislodged during operation.

[0046] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figs. 4-5 As shown, the elastic element 333 consists of multiple springs, each spring being spaced apart on the fixed plate 331. Specifically, the elastic element 333 consists of multiple springs, which connect the fixed plate 331 and the cleaning brush 332.

[0047] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figs. 4-5As shown, the mounting mechanism 35 includes a mounting part 351 and two semi-circular fixing rings 352 adapted to the mounting opening 12. Both semi-circular fixing rings 352 are slidably connected to the mounting part 351, and the mounting part 351 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 36. A connecting rod 354 slides between the bottoms of the two semi-circular fixing rings 352, and limiting parts are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 354. Each of the two semi-circular fixing rings 352 has a fixing part 353 at its top, and each fixing part 353 has a coaxial locking hole. Specifically, the maximum distance between the two semi-circular fixing rings 352 on the mounting part 351 is the length of the connecting rod 354. Through the connecting rod 354, the two semi-circular fixing rings 352 can be fitted onto the mounting opening 12, and then brought closer together. A bolt is then passed through the locking holes of the two fixing parts 353 in sequence, and the bolt is tightened with a nut. In this way, the two semi-circular fixing plates 331 can be tightly fitted onto the mounting opening 12.

[0048] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Fig. 5 As shown, the mounting part 351 is provided with a sliding hole, and the semi-circular fixing ring 352 is provided with a limiting rod 355. The limiting rod 355 extends into the sliding hole and can slide within the sliding hole. Specifically, the sliding hole and the limiting rod 355 enable the semi-circular fixing ring 352 to move at an upper limit within the mounting part 351.

[0049] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Fig. 6 As shown, the new natural gas boiler also includes a combustion-supporting control system, which includes a controller, a hydrogen-oxygen generator, a natural gas storage tank, a first flow valve, a second flow valve, a third flow valve, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor. The hydrogen-oxygen generator is connected to both the oxygen and hydrogen storage tanks. The oxygen storage tank is connected to the furnace chamber 11 via a pipeline, and the first flow valve is located on the pipeline connecting the oxygen storage tank and the furnace chamber 11. The hydrogen storage tank is connected to the furnace chamber 11 via a pipeline, and the second flow valve is located on the pipeline connecting the hydrogen storage tank and the furnace chamber 11. The natural gas storage tank is connected to the furnace chamber 11 via a pipeline, and the third flow valve is located on the pipeline connecting the natural gas storage tank and the furnace chamber 11. The first, second, and third sensors are all located inside the furnace chamber 11 and are used to detect the oxygen, hydrogen, and natural gas contents, respectively. The first, second, and third flow valves, the first, second, and third sensors are all connected to the controller signal.

[0050] Specifically, the hydrogen-oxygen generator and natural gas storage tank are both located outside the boiler body 10. The hydrogen-oxygen generator electrolyzes water to produce oxygen and hydrogen, which are then introduced into the oxygen storage tank and hydrogen storage tank, respectively. Oxygen is then introduced into the furnace chamber 11 via a first flow valve, hydrogen via a second flow valve, and natural gas via a third flow valve. A first, second, and third sensor are installed inside the furnace chamber 11. The first sensor detects the oxygen content, the second sensor detects the hydrogen content, and the third sensor detects the natural gas content. When natural gas burns in the furnace chamber 11, the first, second, and third sensors transmit the detected hydrogen, oxygen, and natural gas contents to the controller. The controller can determine the appropriateness of the hydrogen, oxygen, and natural gas contents based on a preset combustion ratio and, based on the detected gas contents, make decisions to control the opening and closing of the first, second, and third flow valves. This system is safe, efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly.

[0051] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figs. 1-2 As shown, the first flow valve, the second flow valve, and the third flow valve are all pneumatic control valves. Specifically, pneumatic control valves have advantages such as simple control, fast response, and intrinsic safety, and when used in flammable and explosive environments, no additional explosion-proof measures are required.

[0052] In another embodiment of the present invention, the heat recovery device 40 includes a condenser (not shown in the drawings) and an energy-saving device (not shown in the drawings). One end of the energy-saving device is connected to the flue gas outlet pipe of the flue gas outlet pipe 14, and the other end is connected to the condenser pipe. Specifically, the water vapor in the exhaust gas can be condensed through the energy-saving device and the condenser, thereby reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas and improving the thermal efficiency of the boiler.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
