A large part of the heat energy is directly discharged in the form of exhaust gas from the engine room through the ship's exhaust pipe when the engine is working to the upper deck. The ship's exhaust pipe is high, curved and long, and is mainly wrapped with insulation materials such as insulation sleeves. When the ship's engine is working, the exhaust gas temperature is as high as several hundred degrees. The ship's exhaust pipe is very hot, and it is easy to cause burns when touching the exhaust pipe. At the same time, the exhaust pipe will generate a lot of heat radiation, resulting in a high cabin environment temperature, which is not good for the physical and mental health of the crew; the cost of wrapping with insulation sleeves increases; the insulation sleeve emits a peculiar smell when heated, and the material cannot be degraded after a long period of use; in addition, most of the heat of the exhaust gas is directly discharged into the air, resulting in heat waste.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.
[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 2A waste heat recovery device for an inland river ship engine comprises a smoke exhaust pipe 1 and a water jacket 2. The water jacket 2 seals and connects the smoke exhaust pipe 1 along the length direction of the smoke exhaust pipe 1. A water inlet pipe 4 connected to a domestic water tank is arranged below the water jacket 2. One end of the water inlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the water jacket 2. A first switch valve 5 is arranged at the other end of the water inlet pipe 4. A water outlet pipe 6 is arranged on the top of the water jacket 2. The water outlet pipe 6 is provided with a water outlet mechanism. The water outlet mechanism comprises a domestic water pipe 9 and a water heater pipe 10 leading to a living cabin.
[0023] A second switch valve 7 is provided at one end of the domestic water pipe 9 located in the living compartment.
[0024] The water heater pipe 10 is located at one end of the living compartment and is connected to the water heater, and is provided with a third switch valve 8.
[0025] Preferably, the water inlet and outlet speeds of the water jacket 2 are adjusted by adjusting the valve openings of the first switch valve 5, the second switch valve 7, and the third switch valve 8 to avoid insufficient water in the water jacket 2 and failure to cool the water; and to avoid excessive water pressure in the water jacket 2.
[0026] A drain valve 3 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the water jacket 2. When the equipment is cleaned or repaired, the drain valve 3 is opened to quickly drain the water in the water jacket 2.
[0027] Both ends of the water jacket 2 are tightly connected to the outer wall of the smoke exhaust duct 1 by welding. Preferably, the water jacket 2 completely wraps the outer wall of the straight pipe of the smoke exhaust duct 1, and the edge of the water jacket 2 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the smoke exhaust duct 1 by welding, thereby ensuring the air tightness of the smoke exhaust duct 1 and the airtightness of the water jacket 2, and preventing water in the water jacket 2 from seeping out of the water jacket 2 or seeping into the smoke exhaust duct 1 to cause malfunctions.
[0028] The outer wall of the water outlet pipe 6, the outer wall of the water heater pipe 10, and the outer wall of the domestic water pipe 9 are all provided with a heat preservation mechanism. The heat preservation mechanism is a heat-insulating layer made of a heat-insulating material, and preferably, the heat-insulating material is heat-insulating cotton.
[0029] An observation window 11 is provided at the bottom of the water jacket 2. The observation window 11 is provided with a sealed transparent glass, which is convenient for checking whether the remaining water in the water jacket 2 is drained during cleaning.
[0030] Preferably, the water outlet pipe 6 is provided with a flow meter 12, which is convenient for checking the flow of water in the water jacket 2, and the switch valve can be adjusted according to the flow data.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] The ship exhaust pipe 1 and the water jacket 2 are connected together by welding, and the water jacket 2 wraps the exhaust pipe 1 along the length direction of the exhaust pipe 1, and ensures the air tightness of the exhaust pipe 1 and the airtightness of the water jacket 2. When the work starts and the temperature of the exhaust pipe 1 starts to rise, the first switch valve 5 is opened to start water injection, and the second switch valve 6 or the third switch valve 8 is opened, and the opening of the first switch valve 5, the second switch valve 7, and the third switch valve 8 is adjusted to control the flow of water in the water jacket 2. Through the principle of heat exchange, the temperature of the exhaust pipe 1 is lowered, which can prevent the crew from accidentally touching it and causing burns, and at the same time reduce the ambient temperature in the cabin. At the same time, the hot water after heat exchange is used for domestic water or water heaters, so as to realize the recovery and reuse of engine waste heat and avoid heat waste.
[0033] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
