Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas water heater manufacturing, in particular to a water heater gas distribution pipe structure capable of realizing multi-state combustion. Background Art

[0002] In existing gas water heaters, a gas distribution device with various control valves is usually used to distribute the gas. The conventional structure is usually that the gas inlet main is connected to the proportional valve, and then the proportional valve is set with the same number of pipelines and control valves according to the number of gas distribution chambers of the gas distribution device, and the gas is distributed into gas distribution chambers with completely different volumes and gas outlet numbers. Different gas outputs are formed by controlling the opening and closing of different numbers of gas distribution chambers.

[0003] However, due to the one-to-one correspondence between the control valve and the gas distribution chamber in the prior art, all the control valves are installed side by side at the same position. Since the volumes of different gas distribution chambers are different, it is always difficult to install the control valve for the gas distribution chamber with a smaller volume.

[0004] Moreover, in the prior art, the gas distribution device usually only adopts a structure of two gas distribution chambers with a volume and gas outlet quantity ratio of 1:2. By opening one or both at the same time, three gears of small, medium and large are formed. If it is necessary to meet the temperature difference between the lowest temperature and the highest temperature in a year, it is necessary to adjust it through a proportional valve, which requires enhancing the function of the proportional valve, increasing manufacturing costs, and also resulting in gas waste.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the gas distribution device of the gas water heater has fewer gears and the internal control valve installation space is tight has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model discloses a gas distribution pipe structure for a water heater capable of realizing multi-state combustion, comprising a plurality of gas distribution chambers connected to a proportional valve of an air intake main pipe through a gas pipe; all the gas distribution chambers are arranged in a straight line to form a flush top, and a plurality of gas outlets arranged in a straight line are provided on the side close to the top, and the plurality of gas outlets belong to different gas distribution chambers respectively; the characteristic is that all the gas distribution chambers include at least one secondary gas distribution chamber;

[0008] The gas inlet of the secondary gas distribution chamber is connected to the proportional valve through a pipeline of a parallel structure with another adjacent gas distribution chamber;

[0009] Furthermore, a secondary control valve is provided on the branch line of the parallel structure pipeline that inputs the gas into the secondary gas distribution chamber.

[0010] Preferably, each of the gas pipes through which the proportional valve outputs gas is provided with a primary control valve;

[0011] The corresponding primary control valve is arranged on the main pipe connected to the proportional valve in the pipeline of the parallel structure.

[0012] More preferably, the height of the inner cavity of each of the secondary gas distribution chambers is smaller than that of the other gas distribution chambers, and the corresponding secondary control valve mounting seats arranged near the bottom for mounting the secondary control valve are located above the primary control valve mounting seats of all the primary control valves.

[0013] More preferably, each of the secondary control valves and each of the primary control valves are solenoid valves.

[0014] Preferably, it comprises a gas distribution chamber with 12 gas outlets, a gas distribution chamber with 3 gas outlets, and a secondary gas distribution chamber with 3 gas outlets;

[0015] The secondary gas distribution chamber is adjacent to the gas distribution chamber with the three gas outlets, and is connected to the proportional valve through a pipeline of a parallel structure;

[0016] By controlling the primary control valve of the two gas distribution chambers and the opening and closing of the secondary control valve of the secondary gas distribution chamber, 3 gas outlets, 6 gas outlets, 12 gas outlets, 15 gas outlets or 18 gas outlets can be formed.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0018] The utility model can solve the problems that the gas distribution device of the gas water heater has fewer gears and the installation space of the control valve used for control inside is tight.
