Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a purifier, specifically to a device for purifying moxa smoke. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and their awareness of health increases, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospitals, and TCM departments within hospitals are gaining popularity. More and more people are engaging in TCM therapies such as massage, cupping, moxibustion, and acupuncture, which are becoming increasingly common. Some families are even using moxibustion boxes for daily health maintenance. However, because moxa sticks are not burned with an open flame during moxibustion, but rather through incomplete combustion, the resulting smoke contains a large amount of particulate matter and harmful substances. Inhaling large quantities can negatively impact health, especially in TCM hospitals or departments where a large number of people are receiving moxibustion simultaneously, generating excessive smoke that adversely affects the health of both patients and doctors.

[0003] The moxa smoke purification device is a device that purifies moxa smoke by burning it at high temperature and catalyzing the smoke produced during moxibustion at high temperature. The device mainly consists of a high-temperature combustion unit, a high-temperature catalytic unit, a cooling module, a filtration module, and a control module. Among them, the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are the two core functional modules of the device.

[0004] However, current high-temperature combustion components use heating wires or similar infrared heating elements. The function of the combustion component is to heat the flue gas in the combustion chamber to a suitable temperature for combustion, allowing the flue gas to undergo a sufficient oxidation-reduction reaction before entering the high-temperature catalytic module. To maintain the temperature within the combustion chamber within a suitable range, the combustion component operates intermittently. When the temperature falls below the lower limit of the suitable range, the combustion component enters a heating / ignition state, and the combustion chamber temperature rises; conversely, when the temperature exceeds the upper limit of the suitable range, the combustion component stops working, and the combustion chamber temperature drops rapidly. In practice, the flue gas reaction is better when the combustion component is in the heating / ignition state, and worse when the combustion component stops working. Therefore, the high-temperature combustion module constantly reverses between these two states, directly affecting the efficiency of the flue gas combustion within the module. The high-temperature catalytic module consists of a catalytic chamber and a catalyst. The catalyst is made by coating a carrier with a catalyst. To increase the contact area between the catalyst and the flue gas, the catalyst has uniformly distributed honeycomb-shaped pores coated with catalyst. The heated flue gas reacts with the catalyst within these pores, generating harmless gases. The catalytic effect and lifespan of a catalyst are directly related to its honeycomb pores and the catalyst itself. Optimal catalytic effect and catalyst lifespan are achieved when the flue gas passes evenly through all the honeycomb pores after combustion. However, due to the shape and installation method of the combustion components within the combustion module, the flue gas is not evenly distributed when it enters the catalytic chamber after passing through the combustion chamber. Some spaces have denser flue gas, while others have sparser, and this distribution remains constant. Consequently, some honeycomb pores receive significantly more flue gas than others, directly impacting the catalytic effect and the catalyst's lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the technical problems in the prior art and provide an Aiyan cigarette purification device that has a relatively simple structure, saves costs, effectively improves the combustion efficiency of the high-temperature combustion unit, reduces combustion effect reversal, and at the same time effectively improves the uniformity of flue gas entering the high-temperature catalytic unit, ensures the safety of the overall equipment, and effectively extends the service life of the overall equipment.

[0006] The technical solution of the smoke purification device of the present invention is as follows: it includes a shell, a high-temperature treatment module, a cooling module, and a control module. The high-temperature treatment module includes a heat insulation cover, a high-temperature combustion unit, and a high-temperature catalytic unit. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are arranged sequentially from front to back or from bottom to top inside the heat insulation cover. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are interconnected and electrically connected to the control module. The shell is provided with a flue gas inlet channel and a flue gas outlet channel communicating with the outside. The flue gas inlet channel is sealed and connected to the front end of the heat insulation cover where the high-temperature combustion unit is located. The cooling module is sealed and connected to the rear end of the heat insulation cover where the high-temperature catalytic unit is located. The flue gas outlet channel is sealed and connected to the cooling module. The heat insulation cover is also provided with a heat storage distributor for storing heat in the high-temperature combustion unit. The heat storage distributor is located between the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit.

[0007] The smoke purification device of the present invention may also be:

[0008] The heat storage distributor has at least four through-holes along the flue gas passage direction, through which the flue gas enters the high-temperature catalytic unit from the high-temperature combustion unit.

[0009] The heat storage distributor has at least four through-holes or slots along the direction of flue gas flow. The flue gas passes through the through-holes or slots and enters the high-temperature catalytic unit from the high-temperature combustion unit.

[0010] The distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes in the middle of the heat storage distributor is greater than that in the edge of the heat storage distributor.

[0011] The distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes on the heat storage distributor gradually increases from the middle position to the edge position of the heat storage distributor, and gradually decreases from the distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes at the edge position of the heat storage distributor.

[0012] The lower or front part of the heat storage distributor can be detachably fixed to the upper or rear part of the high-temperature combustion unit.

[0013] The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit can be quickly plugged into the control module for electrical connection, and the rear end of the heat insulation cover can be quickly detached and sealed to the cooling module.

[0014] The front end of the heat insulation cover can be de-sealed and connected to the flue gas inlet channel via a detachable and quick-replacement connection device, and the front end of the heat insulation cover can be quickly plugged into and electrically connected to the control module via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly.

[0015] The detachable quick-change connection device includes a fixed plate or a front sub-flange, which is located at the front end of the heat insulation cover. The fixed plate or front sub-flange is detachably and sealed to the rear end of the flue gas inlet channel. A flue gas passage is provided on the fixed plate or front sub-flange, which sealably connects the high-temperature combustion unit inside the front end of the heat insulation cover and the flue gas inlet channel. The quick electrical connection connector assembly includes a set of female plug-in connectors and a set of male plug-in connectors. The female plug-in connectors are located at the lower part of the heat insulation cover and are electrically connected to the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit. All male plug-in connectors are electrically connected to the control module. The second cable connector is located on the flue gas inlet channel, and the first cable connector and the second cable connector are elastically detachable electrically connected.

[0016] The rear end of the heat insulation cover is detachably and sealed to the cooling module via a rear flange assembly. The rear flange assembly includes a rear sub-flange and a rear female flange. The rear sub-flange with n-level raised steps at the end of the heat insulation cover, where n≥1, is provided. The rear female flange with corresponding n-level recessed steps is provided on the cooling module. The rear sub-flange and the rear female flange are connected in a detachable and sealed manner.

[0017] The heat insulation cover includes a shell, a flue pipe, and a heat insulation layer. The flue pipe is located inside the shell and extends from the front end of the shell to the rear end of the shell. The heat insulation layer is located between the inner wall of the shell and the outer wall of the flue pipe. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are located inside the flue pipe. The front end of the flue pipe is connected to the flue gas inlet channel via a detachable and quick-replacement connection device.

The front end of the shell is elastically and quickly plugged into the control module via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly. The rear end of the shell is detachably and fixedly connected to the cooling module.

[0018] The present invention discloses a smoke purification device for purifying cigarette smoke, comprising a shell, a high-temperature treatment module, a cooling module, and a control module. The high-temperature treatment module includes a heat insulation cover, a high-temperature combustion unit, and a high-temperature catalytic unit. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are sequentially arranged inside the heat insulation cover from front to back or from bottom to top. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are interconnected and electrically connected to the control module. The shell contains a smoke inlet channel and a smoke outlet channel communicating with the outside. The smoke inlet channel is sealed to the front end of the heat insulation cover where the high-temperature combustion unit is located. The cooling module is sealed to the rear end of the heat insulation cover where the high-temperature catalytic unit is located. The smoke outlet channel is sealed to the cooling module. The heat insulation cover also contains a heat storage distributor for storing heat within the high-temperature combustion unit, located between the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit. In this way, the shell protects the internal modules and devices from external pollution and interference, while also ensuring the safety of personnel outside the enclosure. The high-temperature treatment module includes a heat-insulating cover to isolate the high temperature. This sealed cover prevents the leakage of high-temperature gases. The high-temperature combustion unit heats the passing moxa smoke to ensure complete combustion, thus achieving a purification effect. The high-temperature catalytic unit further catalyzes the combustion process, further purifying the moxa smoke entering the unit. The smoke from moxa and cigarettes passes through the high-temperature combustion and catalytic reaction sequentially from front to back or left to right, resulting in thorough purification. This process effectively removes non-toxic and harmless gases, meeting environmental standards while protecting the health of those around the affected area. The heat-insulating cover effectively blocks the high heat from the high-temperature combustion and catalytic units, preventing gas leakage (up to 600 degrees Celsius) from damaging the equipment and potentially burning people, animals, or other living organisms. The heat-insulating cover is a three-dimensional heat-insulating cylinder or box made of high-temperature resistant insulation material, such as high-temperature resistant ceramic fiber, high-temperature resistant non-asbestos fiber, or other high-temperature resistant materials. The three-dimensional heat insulation cylinders or boxes made of the high-temperature resistant materials listed above can be sealed around the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic device, with their heads and tails sealed electrically and in sealed communication with other parts, respectively. They can isolate internal heat from dissipation while simultaneously providing flame retardancy, preventing leakage and damage to the entire equipment after the flames of the high-temperature combustion and catalytic devices ignite.The control module controls the operation of the entire device. A commonly used control system is sufficient, primarily responsible for closing and opening circuits, power supply and de-energizing, temperature control, etc. The control module in this invention includes conventional control chips, circuit boards, and power systems. The high-temperature combustion unit's wires pass through the front end of the heat insulation cover and are sealed electrically connected to the control module. This allows the control module to operate the high-temperature combustion unit. The moxa smoke and cigarette smoke enter the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit, undergo combustion and catalysis for harmless treatment, and then enter the cooling module for cooling. The cooled gas is then discharged. The outer casing is equipped with a smoke inlet channel and a smoke outlet channel connected to the outside. The smoke inlet channel draws the moxa smoke and cigarette smoke generated by external moxibustion into the device, allowing them to pass through the front end of the heat insulation cover into the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit for harmless treatment. The treated harmless smoke is then cooled by the cooling module and discharged to the outside through the smoke outlet channel. Because the high-temperature combustion unit, high-temperature catalytic unit, control module, and front end of the heat insulation cover are all sealed or connected, while the rear end of the heat insulation cover is also connected to the cooling module, this ensures that the flue gas can normally enter the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic module for reaction and discharge. The function of the heat storage distributor inside the heat insulation cover is to store the heat generated by combustion in the high-temperature combustion unit. When the high-temperature combustion unit is operating at high power, the temperature rises rapidly, and the temperature within the entire high-temperature combustion unit increases rapidly. At this time, the heat storage distributor absorbs the heat from the high-temperature combustion unit, causing its temperature to rise rapidly and storing the heat. When the high-temperature combustion unit is operating at low power or stopped, the heat stored in the heat storage distributor is released. This effectively prevents the temperature within the high-temperature combustion unit from dropping too quickly, which could lead to incomplete combustion of the last portion of the flue gas and poor purification effect. This effectively improves the combustion efficiency of the high-temperature combustion unit and avoids uneven combustion in the later stages of combustion, thereby reducing the possibility of combustion effect reversal. Simultaneously, the heat storage distributor redistributes the high-temperature flue gas passing through it while storing heat, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the flue gas. This effectively improves the uniformity of the flue gas distribution entering the high-temperature catalytic unit, further ensuring flue gas purification efficiency, while also guaranteeing the safety of the overall equipment and extending its lifespan. Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention's smoke purification device are: relatively simple structure, cost-effectiveness, effective improvement of the combustion efficiency of the high-temperature combustion unit, reduction of combustion effect reversal, effective improvement of the uniformity of flue gas entering the high-temperature catalytic unit, ensuring the safety of the overall equipment, and effectively extending the overall equipment's service life.

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0040] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9The system includes an outer shell 1, a high-temperature processing module, a cooling module 10, and a control module 11. The high-temperature processing module includes a heat insulation cover 2, a high-temperature combustion unit, and a high-temperature catalytic unit. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are arranged sequentially from front to back or from bottom to top within the heat insulation cover 2. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are interconnected and electrically connected to the control module 11. The outer shell 1 has a flue gas inlet channel 3 and a flue gas outlet channel 12 that communicate with the outside. The flue gas inlet channel 3 is sealed and connected to the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 where the high-temperature combustion unit is located. The cooling module 10 is sealed and connected to the rear end of the heat insulation cover 2 where the high-temperature catalytic unit is located. The flue gas outlet channel 12 is sealed and connected to the cooling module 10. The heat insulation cover 2 also has a heat storage distributor 26 for storing heat within the high-temperature combustion unit. The heat storage distributor 26 is located between the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit. In this way, the outer shell 1 protects the various modules and devices inside, preventing external pollution and interference, and also ensuring the safety of personnel outside. The high-temperature treatment module includes a heat insulation cover 2 for isolating high temperatures. The heat insulation cover 2 is a sealed enclosure to prevent leakage of high-temperature gases within it. The high-temperature combustion unit heats the passing moxa smoke to ensure complete combustion, thus achieving a purification effect. The high-temperature catalytic unit further catalyzes the combustion process, further purifying the moxa smoke entering the unit. The moxa smoke and cigarette smoke pass through the high-temperature combustion and catalytic reaction sequentially from front to back or left to right, resulting in thorough purification. This process effectively removes non-toxic and harmless gases, meeting environmental standards while ensuring the health of surrounding personnel. The heat insulation cover 2 effectively blocks the high heat from the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit, preventing gas leakage (up to 600 degrees Celsius) from damaging the equipment and potentially burning people, animals, or other living organisms. The heat insulation cover 2 is a three-dimensional heat insulation cylinder or box made of high-temperature resistant insulation material, such as high-temperature resistant ceramic fiber, high-temperature resistant non-asbestos fiber, or other high-temperature resistant materials. The three-dimensional heat insulation cylinders or boxes made of the high-temperature resistant materials listed above can be sealed around the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic device, with their heads and tails sealed electrically and in sealed communication with other parts, respectively. They can isolate internal heat from dissipation while simultaneously providing flame retardancy, preventing leakage and damage to the entire equipment after the flames of the high-temperature combustion and catalytic devices ignite.The control module 11 is used to control the operation of the entire device. A commonly used control system is sufficient for 11, primarily controlling the circuit opening and closing, power supply and disconnection, temperature control, etc. In this invention, the control module 11 includes conventional control chips, circuit boards, and power systems. The high-temperature combustion unit wires pass through the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 and are sealed and electrically connected to the control module 11. Thus, the control module 11 controls the operation of the high-temperature combustion unit. The moxa smoke and cigarette smoke enter the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit, undergo combustion and catalysis for harmless treatment, and then enter the cooling module 10 for cooling. The cooled gas is then discharged. The outer casing 1 is equipped with a smoke inlet channel 3 and a smoke outlet channel 12 that communicate with the outside. The smoke inlet channel 3 draws the moxa smoke and cigarette smoke generated by external moxibustion into the device, allowing them to pass through the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 into the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit for harmless treatment. The treated harmless smoke is then cooled by the cooling module 10 and discharged to the outside through the smoke outlet channel 12. Because the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are sealed or connected to the control module 11, and the front end of the high-temperature combustion unit and the heat insulation cover 2 are also connected to the cooling module 10, the flue gas is ensured to enter the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic module normally for reaction and discharge. The function of the heat storage distributor inside the heat insulation cover 2 is to store the heat generated by combustion in the high-temperature combustion unit. When the high-temperature combustion unit is operating at high power, the temperature rises rapidly, and the temperature inside the entire high-temperature combustion unit rises rapidly. At this time, the heat storage distributor 26 absorbs the heat from the high-temperature combustion unit, causing its temperature to rise rapidly and storing the heat. When the high-temperature combustion unit is operating at low power or stopped, the heat stored in the heat storage distributor 26 is released. This effectively prevents the temperature inside the high-temperature combustion unit from dropping too quickly, which could lead to incomplete combustion of the last part of the flue gas and poor purification effect. This effectively improves the combustion efficiency of the high-temperature combustion unit and avoids uneven combustion in the later stages of combustion, thereby reducing the phenomenon of combustion effect reversal. Simultaneously, the heat storage distributor 26 redistributes the high-temperature flue gas passing through it while storing heat, making the flue gas distribution more uniform. This effectively improves the uniformity of flue gas distribution entering the high-temperature catalytic unit, further ensuring flue gas purification efficiency, while also ensuring the safety of the overall equipment and extending its lifespan. Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention's smoke purification device are: relatively simple structure, cost-effectiveness, effective improvement of the combustion efficiency of the high-temperature combustion unit, reduction of combustion effect reversal, effective improvement of flue gas uniformity entering the high-temperature catalytic unit, ensuring the safety of the overall equipment, and effectively extending the service life of the overall equipment.

[0041] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9Based on the preceding technical solution, specifically, the heat storage distributor 26 may have at least four through-holes 27 or slots along the flue gas flow direction. The flue gas passes through these through-holes 27 or slots from the high-temperature combustion unit into the high-temperature catalytic unit. The through-holes 27 allow the flue gas to enter the high-temperature combustion unit after fully combusting from the flue gas inlet channel 3, and then enter the high-temperature catalytic unit for catalytic reaction. The number and distribution of the through-holes 27 can be determined based on the flue gas flow rate, throughput, and heating element location. This ensures that the flue gas enters the high-temperature catalytic unit as evenly as possible, preventing a situation where the catalytic reaction is sufficiently complete in the high-temperature catalytic unit but incomplete in some areas. The flue gas has a certain velocity when passing through the high-temperature combustion unit. After passing through the flue gas distribution holes 27 distributed on the heat storage distributor 26, it forms turbulence. This changes the original fixed distribution of small holes in certain parts of the high-temperature catalytic unit where the flue gas directly enters, making the flue gas distribution more uniform when entering the catalytic converter. Alternatively, a through groove can be provided on the heat storage distributor 26, with the hole diameter or groove size determined according to the flow rate, thereby adjusting the wind resistance and improving the flue gas flow within the high-temperature combustion unit. This ensures that the temperature and flow velocity of the flue gas are basically the same at different locations after passing through the heat storage distributor 26, guaranteeing that all entering flue gas receives essentially the same treatment process and purification effect. A further preferred technical solution, based on the above technical solution, is that the distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes in the middle of the heat storage distributor 26 is greater than the distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes at the edges of the heat storage distributor 26. Thus, since the heating element in the high-temperature combustion unit is generally located in the middle of the unit, and it obstructs the flue gas entering at that location, relatively little flue gas directly enters the high-temperature catalytic unit. Therefore, more flue gas distribution holes 27 can be provided at this location to increase the output of post-combustion flue gas, thereby homogenizing the amount of flue gas entering the high-temperature catalytic unit. Based on the previous technical solution, a further preferred technical solution is that the distribution density of the flue gas distribution holes on the heat storage distributor 26 gradually increases from the middle to the edge, and gradually decreases from the edge. The position and number distribution of the flue gas distribution holes 27 are calculated using a numerical model, and this gradual change makes the flue gas distribution more uniform, preventing abrupt changes that could lead to low flue gas purification efficiency. Based on the previous technical solution, a further preferred technical solution is that the flue gas distribution holes are arranged regularly on the heat storage distributor 26.The advantage of the regular arrangement of the flue gas distribution holes 27 is that it makes the flue gas change more uniform, and will not cause the flue gas purification efficiency to be low due to abrupt changes. Moreover, it is relatively easy to manufacture and produce, and the cost is low.

[0042] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9 Based on the preceding technical solutions, another option is that the lower or front part of the heat storage distributor 26 can be detachably fixed to the upper or rear part of the high-temperature combustion unit. The key is to ensure that the heat storage distributor 26 can be detachably fixed between the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit. This facilitates the fixation of the heat storage distributor 26 and its function. A further preferred technical solution based on the preceding technical solutions is that the lower or front part of the heat storage distributor 26 is detachably interference-fitted or detachably snap-fitted to the upper or rear part of the high-temperature combustion unit. Other detachable fixing methods are also possible, such as threaded connections. Snap-fit ​​connections offer the advantage of easy disassembly and replacement. A further preferred technical solution based on the preceding technical solutions is that the lower or rear part of the heat storage distributor 26 is fixed or integrally formed with a fixing insert 28, which is detachably inserted or snap-fitted to the corresponding upper or front part of the high-temperature combustion unit. This structure is simple and facilitates disassembly and replacement.

[0043] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9 Based on the preceding technical solution, specifically, the heat storage distributor 26 can be made of metal. The advantage of metal is that it possesses a certain degree of thermal inertia. When the combustion components in the high-temperature combustion module heat up, the temperature inside the high-temperature combustion unit rises. The heat from the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature gases after combustion pass through the heat storage distributor 26, both simultaneously acting on it to heat it. Because it is made of metal, the heat storage distributor 26 itself quickly reaches its upper limit temperature. When the combustion components stop working, the heat storage distributor 26, which has stored a large amount of heat, releases the stored heat energy, reducing the situation where the temperature drops too quickly when the heating element of the high-temperature combustion unit stops working, thus preventing poor performance.

[0044] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9Based on the aforementioned technical solution, another option is that the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit can be quickly plugged into and electrically connected to the control module 11, and the rear end of the heat insulation cover 2 can be quickly detached and sealed to the cooling module 10. In this way, since the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are quickly detached and sealed to the control module 11, and the front end of the high-temperature combustion module and the heat insulation cover 2 are also quickly detached and sealed to the cooling module 10, this ensures that the heat insulation cover 2 can be quickly disassembled and replaced with the flue gas inlet channel 3 and the cooling module. It eliminates the need to disassemble the internal high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit separately after removing the heat insulation cover 2; only the entire integrated high-temperature treatment module, the core functional module, needs to be directly disassembled and replaced. This disassembly and replacement is convenient and quick, and because it is a one-time quick disassembly and installation, it effectively saves maintenance time and costs. At the same time, it effectively ensures the sealing and safety of the heat insulation cover 2, thereby ensuring the safety of the overall equipment and extending its lifespan. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 can be desealably connected to the flue gas inlet channel 3 via a detachable quick-change connection device, and the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 can be quickly plugged into and electrically connected to the control device via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly. In this way, the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 can be easily and quickly plugged into and installed or removed from the flue gas inlet channel 3. Meanwhile, the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit inside the heat insulation cover 2 can be quickly plugged into and electrically connected to the control module 11 at the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 via the quick-connect electrical connector assembly. This ensures that when disassembling and replacing the high-temperature treatment module, the heat insulation cover 2 can be easily and quickly disassembled, and the electrical connections of the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit inside the heat insulation cover 2 can be disconnected simultaneously, avoiding the need to individually disassemble each circuit's wiring terminals and each component when disassembling the heat insulation cover 2. This improves the overall efficiency of disassembly, replacement, and installation of the high-temperature treatment module and the safety of subsequent equipment use. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: the detachable quick-change connection device includes a fixed plate 9 or a front sub-flange, the fixed plate 9 or the front sub-flange is located at the head end of the heat insulation cover 2, the fixed plate 9 or the front sub-flange is detachably and sealed to the rear end of the flue gas inlet channel 3, the fixed plate 9 or the front sub-flange is provided with a flue gas passage, the flue gas passage is sealed and connected to the high-temperature combustion unit inside the front end of the heat insulation cover 2 and the flue gas inlet channel 3, the quick electrical connection connector assembly includes a set of female plug-in connectors 16 and a set of male plug-in connectors 17, the female plug-in connectors 16 are located at the lower part of the heat insulation cover 2, the male plug-in connectors 17 are located on the flue gas inlet channel 3, and the female plug-in connectors 16 and the male plug-in connectors 17 are elastically detachable electrical connected.The fixed plate 9 or front flange in the detachable quick-change connection device is mechanically sealed to the flue gas inlet channel 3, allowing external smoke from moxa and cigarettes to enter the high-temperature heating unit inside the heat insulation cover 2 after passing through the flue gas inlet channel 3. After being heated to a high temperature, the smoke is fully combusted and then enters the high-temperature catalytic unit for further catalytic reaction, purifying the smoke from moxa and cigarettes. Finally, the smoke from moxa and cigarettes is completely burned before being discharged. During use, the smoke from moxa enters through the flue gas inlet channel 3 and then enters the high-temperature combustion unit. Because all three are sealed and connected in pairs, the smoke from moxa and cigarettes will not leak from the connection between the heat insulation cover 2 and the flue gas inlet channel 3, ensuring the safety of the entire device. The quick-connect electrical connector assembly has a pairwise elastic detachable electrical connection between the female plug-in connector 16 and the male plug-in connector 17, facilitating the connection of electrical components or electrical elements in the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit with the control module 11. This allows the electrical components to be controlled by the control system to be powered on, powered off, and to operate or stop. Both the female and male connectors 16 and 17 of the plug-in terminal block are arranged in multiple connectors, or a terminal block system can be used, similar to how all these female connectors 16 in a household are arranged at the bottom of the heat insulation cover 2. The female connectors 16 are electrically connected to the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic converter, and the male connectors 17 are electrically connected to the control module. This ensures that the control module can supply power to the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic converter, enabling them to operate normally or stop. All the male connectors 17 are arranged on the flue gas inlet channel 3. The female connectors 16 are electrically connected to the components of the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic converter, and the male connectors 17 are connected to the control module 11. This facilitates the connection or disconnection of the electrical connection between the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic converter inside the heat insulation cover 2 and the control module 11 when the heat insulation cover 2 and the flue gas inlet channel 3 are disassembled and installed. The connection is successful when the female connector 16 and male connector 17 of the plug-in terminal block make contact. When the contact is broken—that is, when the heat shield 2 is removed—the operation of the electrical components within the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit ceases. This eliminates the need to disconnect individual wiring during the disassembly and installation of the high-temperature treatment module; direct connection is sufficient, significantly saving time and ensuring safe equipment operation.Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: A frustum-shaped guide body 18, with its size gradually decreasing from top to bottom, is provided at the lower center or edge of the fixed plate 9. A corresponding frustum-shaped groove 19 is provided on the flue gas inlet channel 3, and the guide body 18 and the frustum-shaped groove 19 are detachably and sealingly connected; or a step is provided on the front sub-flange, and a front female flange is provided at a corresponding position on the flue gas inlet channel, and the front sub-flange and the aforementioned front female flange are detachably and sealingly connected. This arrangement of the frustum-shaped guide body 18 and the frustum-shaped groove 19, or the front female flange and the front sub-flange with steps, facilitates the removal of the heat insulation cover 2 and the connecting components of the high-temperature treatment module during disassembly, and also facilitates better docking and sealing of the heat insulation cover 2 of the high-temperature treatment module during installation, with both serving a guiding function. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: The fixed plate 9 and the flue gas inlet channel 3 are detachably fixed by fixing bolts, fixing screws, and nuts. The fixed plate 9 itself can be detachably fixed using fixing bolts, fixing screws, and nuts. Alternatively, the supporting device of the fixed plate can also be detachably fixed using fixing bolts, fixing screws, and nuts, thus sealing the fixed plate 9 or the front sub-flange together with the flue gas inlet channel 3. Alternatively, a sealing gasket or sealing ring can be sandwiched between the fixed plate 9 and the flue gas inlet channel 3, or a sealing gasket or sealing ring can be placed between the front sub-flange and the front female flange. This ensures sufficient sealing performance and prevents flue gas leakage that could cause danger. Based on the above technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is that the male connector of the plug-in terminal block is provided with a wiring spring 20 at its lower or upper part. The female connector 16 of the plug-in terminal block and the male connector 17 of the plug-in terminal block are electrically connected in a releasable manner through the wiring spring 20. This ensures a tighter connection between the female connector 16 and the corresponding male connector 17 during connection, guaranteeing correct circuit connection. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: the rear end of the heat insulation cover 2 is detachably and sealed to the cooling module 10 via a rear flange assembly. The rear flange assembly includes a rear sub-flange 14 and a rear flange 15. The rear sub-flange 14 of the heat insulation cover 2 has n-level raised steps, where n ≥ 1. The rear flange 15 of the cooling module has corresponding n-level recessed steps. The rear sub-flange 14 and the rear flange 15 are connected via a mating joint, and the connection between the rear sub-flange 14 and the rear flange 15 is detachably and sealed. This allows for convenient and quick connection between the heat insulation cover 2 and the cooling module, while ensuring safe operation of the equipment. The raised-step rear sub-flange 14 and the recessed-step rear flange 15 ensure accurate alignment and a sealed connection during connection.A further preferred technical solution is that the rear sub-flange 14 and the rear female flange 15 are fixed together by bolts or rotating screws, or by compression. Alternatively, the rear sub-flange 14 and the rear female flange 15 can be fixed together by bolts or rotating screws through their load-bearing components. These bolts or rotating screws can be hand-tightened or bolt-on, making the fixing method more convenient and efficient. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is that a sealing ring or gasket can be provided on the connecting wall of the rear sub-flange 14 or the rear female flange 15. The purpose of providing a sealing ring or gasket is to further ensure the sealing effect, ensuring higher safety and a longer service life for the overall device.

[0045] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9Based on the preceding technical solution, the heat insulation cover can also be configured as follows: The heat insulation cover includes a housing 21, a smoke guide pipe 22, and a heat insulation layer 23. The smoke guide pipe 22 is located inside the housing 21 and extends from the front end to the rear end of the housing 21. The heat insulation layer 23 is located between the inner wall of the housing 21 and the outer wall of the smoke guide pipe 22. The high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit are located inside the smoke guide pipe 22. The front end of the smoke guide pipe 22 is connected to the flue gas inlet channel 3 via a detachable and quick-replacement connection device, allowing for a removable seal. The front end of the smoke guide pipe 22 is detachably and fixedly connected to the flue gas inlet channel 3. The front end of the housing 21 is elastically and quickly plugged into the control module 11 via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly. The rear end of the housing 21 is detachably and fixedly connected to the cooling module 10. The housing 21 facilitates the overall installation, disassembly, and transportation of the heat insulation layer 23, the smoke guide pipe 22, and the high-temperature combustion unit and high-temperature catalytic unit within the smoke guide pipe 22. Furthermore, it effectively avoids safety hazards caused by high-temperature flue gas leakage during use, while ensuring the service life of the cooling module 10, filter module 4, and control module 11. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: a temperature sensor 13 is installed inside the flue duct 22, positioned between the high-temperature combustion module and the high-temperature catalytic module. The temperature sensor 13 is electrically connected to the control module 11 via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly. The function of the temperature sensor 13 is to transmit the temperature information detected inside the flue duct 22 to the control module 11 in real time, facilitating the control module 11 to adjust the temperature inside the flue duct 22 and control the power supply. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: a temperature switch is installed on the outside of the housing 23, connected to the external main power supply. The temperature switch is a mechanical switch; when the temperature of the housing 21 reaches a predetermined limit, the temperature switch activates, automatically cutting off the electrical connection between the external main power supply and the high-temperature combustion unit and the high-temperature catalytic unit, i.e., directly cutting off the power supply. This provides an extra layer of protection for the equipment in case the control module 11 or other components malfunction, similar to a fuse in a circuit. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: the front end of the housing 21 extends outward into an annular disk, and a guide seat 24 is provided at the rear end of the flue gas inlet channel 3 at a position corresponding to the annular disk. The front end of the housing 21 passes through the annular disk from top to bottom via a retainer 25 and is guided and inserted into the guide seat 24 for fixation. In this way, the guide seat 24 and the retainer 25 can be installed and disassembled more easily.

[0046] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9Based on the preceding technical solutions, the high-temperature combustion unit can also include a combustion chamber 7 and a heating element 8 located within the combustion chamber 7. The heating element 8 is connected to the control device via a quick-connect electrical connector assembly, and the combustion chamber 7 is connected to the flue gas inlet channel 3. In this way, when the high-temperature combustion unit is in operation, the control module 11 controls the heating element 8 of the high-temperature combustion unit to start heating the smoke entering the combustion chamber 7 to a high temperature for complete combustion, or to stop operation. Of course, other high-temperature combustion units with different structures can also be used to completely burn the smoke, as long as the smoke entering the combustion chamber 7 can be fully burned. A further preferred technical solution based on the preceding technical solutions is that a combustion support is provided within the combustion chamber 7, and the heating element 8 is detachably and fixedly mounted on the combustion support. This allows the heating element 8 to act more evenly on the smoke.

[0047] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9 Based on the preceding technical solutions, the high-temperature catalytic unit can also include a catalytic chamber 5 and a catalytic element 6 located within the catalytic chamber 5. The catalytic chamber 5 is connected to the high-temperature combustion module and is sealed to the cooling module 10. In this way, the catalytic element 6 within the catalytic chamber 5 can catalyze the fully combusted smoke and fumes entering the catalytic chamber 5, further purifying the smoke and fumes. The purified fumes then enter the cooling module 10 for cooling before being discharged to the outside, completing the harmless treatment of the smoke and fumes. A further preferred technical solution based on the preceding technical solutions is that the combustion chamber 7 and the catalytic chamber 5 are arranged vertically, one above the other. Since the smoke and fumes are gases, they naturally rise. With the combustion chamber 7 below and the catalytic chamber 5 above, the smoke naturally rises, and under negative pressure, after combustion, it naturally enters the catalytic chamber 5 from the combustion chamber 7 to complete the subsequent purification reaction. This results in a higher purification rate and lower energy consumption. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is as follows: a catalytic support is provided inside the catalytic chamber 5, and the catalytic element 6 is detachably fixed to the catalytic support. This arrangement allows the catalytic element 6, supported by the catalytic support, to have a larger contact area with the smoke filling the catalytic chamber 5, ensuring a higher purification rate of the smoke.

[0048] Please refer to the smoke purification device of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9Based on the preceding technical solutions, another option is to install a filter module 4 between the cooling module 10 and the flue gas emission channel 12. The filter module 4 includes a filter chamber and a filter device located within the filter chamber. One end of the filter module 4 is sealed and connected to the cooling module 10, and the other end is sealed and connected to the flue gas emission channel 12. In this way, after the smoke is purified, it enters the cooling module 10 for cooling. The cooled gas then passes through the filter chamber within the device and is filtered by the filter device, removing the residue from the burned smoke before being discharged into the flue gas emission channel 12 to the outside, making it more environmentally friendly and achieving a higher purification rate. A further preferred technical solution based on the preceding technical solutions is to install a reminder module inside the outer casing 1, which is connected to the control module 11. The reminder module can be an alarm, a warning light, or both. The reminder module is connected to the control system. When the control system detects that the high-temperature processing module needs to be replaced or is damaged, the reminder module will either issue an alarm or flash a warning light to indicate that the high-temperature processing module needs to be replaced. This is more intuitive and convenient for users to better utilize the equipment. Based on the preceding technical solutions, a further preferred technical solution is that the heat insulation cover 2 is equipped with a traceability QR code or traceability chip for tracing information. The traceability QR code or traceability chip can identify, or after being input into the system, whether the high-temperature processing module is a new product, its manufacturing information, etc., and can also identify whether it is a high-temperature processing module configured and used within the system.
