[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a condensing heat exchanger structure with a flow guiding function, including a partition plate 1 with a U-shaped cross section, and a secondary heat exchanger 2 is arranged in the partition plate 1. For the sake of clarity, the definition Figure 6 The top of the middle is the top. Figure 6 The lower part in the figure is the lower part. Smoke inlets 11 are provided on both sides of the partition 1 for high-temperature flue gas to enter the partition 1 from the combustion space below and exchange heat with the secondary heat exchanger 2. Side sealing plates 12 are provided at both ends of the partition 1, and an upper sealing plate 13 is provided on the top of the partition 1 to form a closed area and wrap the secondary heat exchanger 2 therein, so that the high-temperature flue gas and the secondary heat exchanger 2 are in full contact for heat exchange, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. The upper sealing plate 13 is provided with a smoke exhaust port 131, which is used to discharge the flue gas that has completed the heat exchange with the secondary heat exchanger 2. The secondary heat exchanger 2 includes a first flat tube 21 and a second flat tube 22. In this embodiment, the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 are symmetrically arranged and V-shaped. Specifically, one side of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 is located above the smoke inlet 11, and the other side extends to the bottom surface of the partition 1 and has a gap between the bottom surface of the partition 1, so as to guide the high-temperature flue gas entering the partition 1 from the smoke inlet 11 to the bottom end of the secondary heat exchanger 2, so that it can fully exchange heat with the secondary heat exchanger 2.

[0034] The condensing heat exchanger structure with a flow guiding function provided by the embodiment of the utility model is a substantially closed area in the partition 1 where the secondary heat exchanger 2 is located, and is only provided with a smoke inlet 11 and a smoke outlet 131 for discharging smoke after heat exchange, which prolongs the contact and heat exchange time between the high-temperature smoke and the secondary heat exchanger 2 and improves the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 of the secondary heat exchanger 2 can guide the high-temperature smoke entering from the smoke inlet 11 of the partition 1 to the bottom end of the secondary heat exchanger 2 (the direction of smoke flow is shown in FIG. 2 ). Figure 6 In the direction of the middle arrow), it fully exchanges heat with the secondary heat exchanger 2, further improving the heat exchange efficiency and reducing the user's cost of use. In addition, after the high-temperature flue gas flows into the partition 1, it will flow through the secondary heat exchanger 2 along the guide direction of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, and its flow direction is consistent with the flow direction of the condensed water formed after the flue gas heat exchange, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the smoke exhaust resistance. The closed area formed by the partition 1 serves as a cavity for heat exchange between the high-temperature flue gas and the secondary heat exchanger 2. The front and rear sides are both provided with smoke inlets 11. After the high-temperature flue gas is heat exchanged in the primary heat exchanger below, it flows in from the smoke inlets 11 on the front and rear sides of the partition 1, thereby realizing the functional characteristics of the double flow channel, increasing the amount of smoke entering, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a downward guide groove 132 is provided in the middle of the upper sealing plate 13. One end of the side wall of the guide groove 132 is located above the smoke inlet 11, and the other end extends to the bottom surface of the partition 1 and has a gap with the bottom surface of the partition 1. The side wall of the guide groove 132 forms a guide plate, which can guide the high-temperature smoke entering from the smoke inlet 11 of the partition 1 to the bottom end of the secondary heat exchanger 2 (the direction of smoke flow is shown in FIG. 2 ). Figure 6 The guide plate formed by the side wall of the guide groove 132 cooperates with the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 for efficient heat exchange to form an efficient heat exchange main body. The high-temperature flue gas flows from the left and right sides of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 along the extension direction of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, and exchanges heat with the water flowing inside the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, so that the latent heat of the flue gas is fully absorbed. Furthermore, the smoke exhaust port 131 is arranged at the bottom of the guide groove 132, so that the distance from the smoke inlet 11 is the largest, so as to prolong the flow time of the high temperature and the smoke in the partition 1, so that it can fully exchange heat with the secondary heat exchanger 2 and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the partition plate 1 and the side sealing plate 12 are formed in one piece.

[0037] In order to further improve the heat exchange efficiency, the secondary heat exchanger 2 also includes heat exchange guide fins 23, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchange guide fin 23 includes a first sheet 231 and a second sheet 232, which are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, and correspond to the shapes of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22. The structural form is consistent with the flow guide direction of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, which can further enhance the heat exchange and improve the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the heat exchange guide fins 23 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, so that the high-temperature flue gas can be evenly contacted with the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, so that the heat exchange is uniform. The first sheet 231 and the second sheet 232 are connected by a third sheet 233. Further, as Figure 2 As shown, the first sheet 231, the second sheet 232 and the third sheet 233 are provided with smoke dispersion holes 234, which facilitate the rapid diffusion of high-temperature smoke along the length direction of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to realize the installation of the secondary heat exchanger 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, the side sealing plate 12 is provided with a first long hole 121 and a second long hole 122 corresponding to the pipe openings of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22. The first long hole 121 and the second long hole 122 are arranged in a V shape, so that the pipe openings of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 are inserted into the first long hole 121 and the second long hole 122 respectively. A connecting plate 14 is provided on the outer side of the side sealing plate 12, and the connecting plate 14 is provided with a third long hole 141 and a fourth long hole 142 corresponding to the pipe openings of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22. Correspondingly, the third long hole 141 and the fourth long hole 142 are arranged in a V shape, and the pipe openings of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the third long hole 141 and the fourth long hole 142 respectively. A sealing plate 15 corresponding to the shape of the connecting plate 14 is provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 14, and the sealing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14. The outer side of the sealing plate 15 is provided with a first connecting cavity 151 and a second connecting cavity 152 corresponding to and communicating with the third long hole 141 and the fourth long hole 142 respectively. Correspondingly, the first connecting cavity 151 and the second connecting cavity 152 are arranged in a V shape. By connecting and communicating the first connecting cavity 151 with the first connecting cavity 151, the second connecting cavity 152 with the second connecting cavity 152, and the first connecting cavity 151 with the second connecting cavity 152, it is possible to realize the formation of a series of water flow channels between different flat tubes, thereby forming an S-shaped secondary heat exchange pipeline in the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22. The first connecting cavity 151 is connected to the water inlet joint 3, and the second connecting cavity 152 is connected to the water outlet joint 4, so as to introduce cold water into the secondary heat exchange pipeline, and the cold water in the pipeline is heat exchanged and then flows from the water outlet joint 4 to the primary heat exchanger below. In this embodiment, the number of the first flat tube 21 and the second flat tube 22 is two. On one of the sealing plates 15, the first connecting cavity 151 at the bottom is connected to the water inlet joint 3, the second connecting cavity 152 at the bottom is connected to the water outlet joint 4, and the first connecting cavity 151 at the top is connected and communicated with the second connecting cavity 152; on another sealing plate 15, the two first connecting cavities 151 are connected and communicated, and the two second connecting cavities 152 are connected and communicated. In this embodiment, the water inlet joint 3 and the water outlet joint 4 are located on the same side, which is convenient for saving space and connecting with the inlet and outlet water pipes.

[0039] After the secondary heat exchanger 2 exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas, the water vapor in the high-temperature flue gas condenses to form condensed water, which falls into the cavity formed between the partition plate 1 and the side sealing plate 12. Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a condensate interface 5 is provided at the bottom of the side sealing plate 12, and the condensate interface 5 is connected to a condensate collection device 7 through a condensate discharge pipe 6. The condensate formed in the secondary heat exchange process of converting high-temperature flue gas into low-temperature flue gas is uniformly collected by the partition 1, and finally flows out from the condensate discharge pipe 6, and the condensate is introduced into the condensate collection device 7 to prevent the condensate from affecting the heat exchange of the secondary heat exchanger in the partition 1.

[0040] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the condensate collecting device 7 comprises a tank body, and a first baffle 71 required for condensate liquid sealing is provided inside the tank body, the first baffle 71 extends upward from the bottom of the tank body, and there is a gap between the free end of the first baffle 71 and the top of the tank body, and the first baffle 71 divides the inside of the tank body into a first area 711 and a second area 712 connected at the top, the top of the first area 711 is provided with a condensate inlet 72, and the bottom of the second area 712 is provided with a condensate outlet 73. A second baffle 74 extending toward the bottom of the first area 711 is provided on the top of the tank body, and there is a gap between the free end of the second baffle 74 and the bottom of the tank body, and the second baffle 74 is spaced apart from the first baffle 71. An S-shaped flow channel is formed between the second baffle 74 and the first baffle 71, which can prevent floating objects from entering the second area 712 and blocking the condensate outlet 73. In order to give an alarm when the condensate outlet 73 is blocked, a water level detection device 75 is provided at the top of the first zone 711. When the condensate outlet 73 is blocked, the water level in the tank body continues to rise. When it rises to a predetermined height, the water level detection device 75 gives an alarm. The water level detection device 75 can be a water level sensor or a detection electrode. When the condensate cannot be discharged, the condensate level in the tank body gradually rises. When it reaches the water level point of the detection electrode detection position, the detection electrode is turned on to realize the function of blockage alarm. Furthermore, a sewage outlet 76 is provided at the bottom of the first zone 711 to discharge sludge and other debris.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6-Figure 7As shown, the above-mentioned condensing heat exchanger structure with a flow-guiding function also includes a cylinder 8 formed by connecting a plurality of side plates 81. In this embodiment, the number of the side plates 81 is 4. A top plate 82 is provided on the top of the cylinder 8 to form a cylinder with an opening at the bottom. A corresponding first mounting notch 811 is provided on the top of a group of side plates 81 opposite to the cylinder 8, and a second mounting notch 821 corresponding to the first mounting notch 811 is provided on the top of the top plate 82. The partition 1 can be installed from the second mounting notch 821 to between the two first mounting notches 811 to separate the cylinder 8 into an upper area 83 and a lower area 84. A primary heat exchanger 9 is provided in the lower area 84 for heat exchange with the flame generated by the burner below; the secondary heat exchanger 2 is provided in the upper area 83 for heat exchange with the high-temperature flue gas generated by the burner flame. The condensing heat exchanger structure with a flow diversion function provided in this embodiment has a primary heat exchanger 9 and a secondary heat exchanger 2 integrated in a cylinder 8 formed by connecting four side panels 81. The side panels 81 can be connected to external devices, and a first mounting slot 811 and a second mounting slot 821 for mounting the secondary heat exchanger 2 are designed on the top, which can meet the combined integrated connection of the primary heat exchanger 9 and the secondary heat exchanger 2 to form an integrated condensing heat exchanger, making the condenser structure compact and simple, and reducing the manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the water connection between the primary heat exchanger 9 and the secondary heat exchanger 2 is conducted through the connecting pipe 24. The tap water flows into the secondary heat exchanger 2 from the water inlet pipe 25 and then flows into the primary heat exchanger 9 through the connecting pipe 24, and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 91 of the primary heat exchanger 9.

[0043] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, the first-stage heat exchanger 9 includes a plurality of first heat exchange tubes 92 and heat exchange fins 93. The cold water in the first heat exchange tubes 92 absorbs the heat transferred by the flame generated by the burner below through the tube wall and the heat exchange fins 93, thereby increasing the temperature for use by customers. Preferably, the heat exchange fins 93 are in an inverted U shape, and the first heat exchange tubes 92 are passed through the heat exchange fins 93. In this embodiment, a heat exchange fin imitating the shape of a flame is adopted, which imitates the shape of a flame combustion process with a high middle and low sides, thereby achieving uniform heat exchange between the entire combustion flame and the heat exchange fins 93, and ensuring high energy efficiency output of the heat exchange process of the first-stage heat exchanger 9.

Cold air flows in from one end of the air cooling channel 814, exchanges heat with the inner wall of the channel to reduce the surface temperature of the side plate 81, and then flows out from the other end of the air cooling channel 814.

[0045] The utility model also provides a gas water heater, comprising the above-mentioned condensing heat exchanger structure with flow guiding function.
