The meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.
[0037] Please refer to the accompanying Figures 1-14 The purpose of the present embodiment is to provide a shallow plate food heater with double heat flow channels, which comprises a box, a burner assembly, a power supply system, a waste heat collection system 21, a fuel supply system and a control system, which work cooperatively.
[0038] The box is composed of a box skeleton 13, a box shell 4, an upper cover assembly 1 and the like. The box shell 4 is installed outside the box skeleton 13, the box skeleton 13 supports the box shell 4, and a plurality of universal wheel assemblies 12 are installed at the bottom of the box shell 4, facilitating the movement of the entire shallow tray food heater with double heat flow channels.
[0039] Specifically, the upper part of the box skeleton 13 is provided with a heating pool 24, which is installed on the box skeleton 13 through the flange 241 of its edge. Preferably, the heating pool 24 can be fixedly installed on the box skeleton 13 by screwing through the flange 241, and when the installation is completed, the flange 241 covers the upper edge of the box shell 4. It should be pointed out that the side wall of the heating pool 24 is provided with a wire protection tube 16, the inside of which is filled with heat insulation material. The wire protection tube 16 located inside the heating pool 24 is in contact with hot water in the heating pool 24, and the temperature will not be higher than 100℃. At the same time, the wire protection tube 16 is filled with heat insulation material, which reduces the possibility of damage to the wires and signal lines passing through the wire protection tube 16, including the wires and signal lines used in the waste heat collection system 21. The side of the heating pool 24 is also connected with a drainage assembly 15 which penetrates through the box shell 4. The upper cover assembly 1 is hinged on the box and is used to seal or open the heating pool 24. The upper cover assembly 1 is provided with a sealing ring which is in contact with the heating pool 24 when the upper cover assembly 1 is closed. A valve body is provided in the middle position of the upper cover assembly 1 for exhaust. The upper cover assembly 1 is also provided with a lock 18, a support assembly 20 and a handle 17. The lock 18 is used to lock the upper cover assembly 1 with the box shell 4, the support assembly 20 is used to support the upper cover assembly 1 when it is opened, and the handle 17 is used to assist in opening the upper cover assembly 1.
[0040] Further, the side wall of the heating pool 24 is peripherally sealed with an inner container 3, the bottom of which is supported on the box skeleton 13 through the supporting leg 10, further fixing the inner container 3. Preferably, the bottom wall of the inner container 3 is provided with a connecting hole 31, and the side wall is provided with a drainage hole 32 and a drainage hole 33. The drainage hole 32 is used to discharge the hot flow after use, and the drainage hole 33 is used for the drainage assembly 15 to penetrate out.
[0041] In this embodiment, the waste heat collection system 21 is installed on the outer surface of the bottom wall of the heating tank 24. The waste heat collection system 21 is a thermoelectric power generation module. The thermoelectric power generation module is composed of a plurality of TEG modules 211 connected in series. A graphene layer 212 is arranged between the TEG module 211 and the bottom wall of the heating tank 24. The graphene layer 212 is attached to the bottom plate of the TEG module 211 and the bottom wall of the heating tank 241. The graphene layer 212 is soft and deformable, solving the problem of uneven installation surface of the TEG module 211 and the heating tank 4. The graphene layer 212 has good heat conduction performance and quickly transfers heat to the heating tank 24. The thermoelectric power generation module uses the Seebeck effect as the basic principle. The two ends of the thermoelectric module are placed between the heat source and the cold source, respectively, to generate a potential difference. The thermoelectric power generation module directly converts heat energy into electrical energy and provides heat energy to the power system, fully utilizing the energy of the heat flow. It should be noted that the side of the TEG module 211 away from the bottom plate is provided with a plurality of pressing plates 214. Each pressing plate 214 is provided with two or more positioning holes. The bottom wall of the heating tank 24 is provided with the same number of connecting holes corresponding to the positioning holes. The screws in the screw-nut assembly 213 are respectively welded in the corresponding connecting holes in the bottom wall of the heating tank 24 through the positioning holes in the pressing plates 214, the thermoelectric power generation module and the graphene layer 212. The nuts on the screws in the screw-nut assembly 213 are manually tightened to press the pressing plates 214 and the thermoelectric power generation module, thereby fixing the thermoelectric power generation module on the bottom wall of the heating tank 24. The above installation structure is simple in connection and reliable in fixation, improving the installation efficiency and reliability. In order to further fully utilize the energy of the heat flow, in the preferred embodiment, in addition to installing the thermoelectric power generation module on the outer surface of the bottom wall of the heating tank 24, thermoelectric power generation modules are also installed on the side walls of the heating tank 24. The TEG modules in the thermoelectric power generation modules are installed in the same way.
[0042] Further, the burner assembly includes the burner 19 and the combustion chamber assembly 11. The burner 19 is installed outside the cabinet and connected with the connecting pipe 114 of the combustion chamber assembly 11. The combustion chamber assembly 11 is installed inside the cabinet. The combustion chamber body 112 of the combustion chamber assembly 11 is an inner hearth. The injection flame is generated in the inner hearth to generate the heat flow. The injection flame is injected to the right to generate the main heat flow flowing to the right and the auxiliary heat flow flowing upward.
[0043] Specifically, the upper part of the inner hearth is a second outlet 116, and a guide plate 111 is arranged upward along the second outlet 116 on the shell of the combustion chamber body 112. The guide plate 111 is three plates connected vertically in sequence, and the non-upward open end of the guide plate 111 and the surface of the shell of the combustion chamber body 112 form a first outlet 115. It should be pointed out that the second outlet 116 is square, and the second outlet 116 extends upward through the guide plate 111. It can be seen that the first outlet 115 and the second outlet 116 transmit the heat flow generated by the inner hearth in two directions, so that the heat is more fully utilized. The flange 113 is arranged outward around the upper part of the shell of the combustion chamber body 112, which is used for the installation of the entire combustion chamber assembly 11.
[0044] It should be pointed out in this embodiment that when the combustion chamber assembly 11 is installed, the guide plate 111 is inserted into the connecting hole 31 of the inner container 3, the external shape and size of the guide plate 111 are the same as the internal shape and size of the connecting hole 31, and after installation is completed, the first outlet 115 faces away from the outer flue 7. The lower surface of the flange 113 is in sealing contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall of the inner container 3. It is worth mentioning that the fireproof plate 9 is installed on the guide plate 111, the fireproof plate 9 is in contact with three walls of the inner cavity of the inner container 3, and a first heat flow channel 23 is formed between the fireproof plate 9 and the bottom wall of the inner container 3. At the same time, the fireproof plate 9 and the bottom wall of the heating pool 24 form a second heat flow channel 22. The length of the fireproof plate 9 is less than the length of the bottom wall of the inner container 3, so that the heat flow can flow upward through the first heat flow channel 23 at the end of the fireproof plate 9 into the second heat flow channel 22, and finally the heat flow is discharged through the inner flue 8 and the outer flue 7. It should be particularly pointed out that a plurality of flow guide holes 91 are arranged on the fireproof plate 9 in a rectangular arrangement.
[0045] It can be seen from the above structure that the heat flow flows out of the inner hearth of the combustion chamber, enters the first heat flow channel 23 from the first outlet 115 and flows from left to right. Since the length of the fireproof plate 9 is less than the length of the bottom wall of the inner container 3, when the heat flow reaches the right side of the inner container 3, it flows upward through the gap between the fireproof plate 9 and the other side wall of the inner container 3 into the second heat flow channel 22, forming a double-layer heat flow channel structure, that is, the outer flue 7 and the burner are placed on the same side of the box body, so that the heat flow channel after the combustion of the burner is lengthened, which is beneficial to improve the hot surface temperature of the TEG module. Through testing, the temperature of the heat flow at the bottom position of the heating pool 24 can reach 330℃. While ensuring heating, the waste heat recovery effect can be improved, more heat energy can be recovered and converted into electric energy. At the same time, the heat flow can also flow upward through the second outlet 116 and the flow guide holes 91 on the fireproof plate 3, the upward heat flow through the second outlet 116 and the heat flow circulating to the flow guide holes 91 through the second heat flow channel 22 are combined, heat flow circulation and full utilization of heat are realized, and finally the heat flow is discharged through the inner flue 8 and the outer flue 7. The heat flow in the first heat flow channel 23 does not heat the heating pool 24.
[0046] It needs to be clear that the flame in the inner hearth of the combustion chamber body 112 sprays to the right, and the main heat flow generated thereby flows to the right along the first heat flow channel 23 through the first outlet 115, while the auxiliary heat flow generated by the flame in the inner hearth sprays to the right and flows upward through the second outlet 116. The heat flow flowing upward through the second outlet 116 is combined with the heat flow circulating to above the flow guide hole 91 through the second heat flow channel 22, so as to ensure the overall temperature of the heat flow and avoid waste of heat. The temperature of the heat flow circulating to above the flow guide hole 91 through the second heat flow channel 22 is reduced, and the auxiliary heat flow is used as a supplement to ensure the stable temperature of the heat flow in the second heat flow channel 22, improve the temperature of the heat surface of the waste heat recovery system 21, and ensure the power generation efficiency. The temperature of the heat flow flowing upward through the flow guide hole 91 is higher than that of the heat flow circulating to above the flow guide hole 91 through the second heat flow channel 22. It is worth mentioning that the inner container 3 has good heat preservation characteristics, which ensures that the heat of the heat flow is as much as possible not to be dissipated through the inner container 3, and most of the heat flow is used for heating the water pool 24 and for the waste heat collection system 21.
[0047] In addition, the box body is further provided with an inclined handle 6 and a transverse handle 5, so as to facilitate the movement of the entire heater. The waste heat collection system 21 provides power for the power supply system, the control system and the fuel supply system. The fuel supply system is provided with a fuel tank 14, which provides fuel for the burner 19 in the entire heater. The power supply system and the control system do not belong to the focus of the present application, and will not be described here.
[0048] Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
