Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of burners, and in particular to an upper air inlet burner, a nozzle seat and an upper air inlet combustion device. Background Art
[0002] Traditional burners are mostly bottom-intake structures, which rely on the air supply under the cabinet and are easily restricted by ventilation conditions, which in turn affects combustion efficiency. Top-intake burners are equipped with independent air inlets above the cooktop panel to directly inhale external air for combustion, ensuring sufficient and stable air supply. Even when installed in a closed cabinet, they can maintain efficient and uniform combustion.
[0003] In the prior art, due to the limited space on the burner plate, the ejector tube is often set shorter, and its ejection capacity is limited, which will lead to lower combustion efficiency. In order to increase its combustion efficiency, more ejector tubes are often set to increase the combustion efficiency.
[0004] However, due to the large number of ejector tubes, the air inflow space structure below the mixing chamber is complex, which leads to air flow turbulence outside the mixing chamber, thereby affecting the combustion efficiency of the burner. Utility Model Content

[0069] Embodiment 1
[0070] like Figure 1-3 As shown, embodiment 1 of the first aspect of the present disclosure provides an upper air inlet burner 1, comprising: a burner body 11, at least one inner ring ejector tube 12 and a plurality of outer ring ejector tubes 13; the burner body 11 has an inner ring chamber 111 and an outer ring chamber 112 located on the circumference of the inner ring chamber 111; a first air outlet 121 of the inner ring ejector tube 12 is connected to the inner ring chamber 111, and a first air inlet 122 of the inner ring ejector tube 12 is located below the inner ring chamber 111 along a preset direction A; a second air outlet 131 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 is connected to the outer ring chamber 112, and a second air inlet 132 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 is located below the inner ring chamber 111 along a preset direction A.
[0071] Specifically, the burner body 11 may be a burner body 11 with a gas mixing function, and the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 may be two integral annular parts, the annular cavities inside of which respectively constitute the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112, and the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 are concentrically arranged, and are not specifically limited. The inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 act as the inner ring gas mixing chamber and the outer ring gas mixing chamber in the burner, so that the gas ejected by the ejector pipe and the air are fully mixed in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112, and released through the fire holes, so as to realize the combustion work of the upper air inlet burner 1. The outer ring chamber 112 is arranged on the circumferential side of the inner ring chamber 111, which can be understood as the inner ring chamber 111 being sleeved in the inner ring area of the outer ring chamber 112. The two can be connected by a fixed connecting component or relatively fixed by the nozzle seat 2, which is not specifically limited.
[0072] The inner ring ejector tube 12 can be a standard straight ejector tube, or it can be an ejector tube with a certain bend arranged according to the distribution of its first air outlet 121 and the first air inlet 122. The inner ring ejector tube 12 is provided with a venturi structure inside to achieve the ejection of air and gas. The inner ring ejector tube 12 and the burner body 11 can be connected in a way that a through hole is opened on the annular component constituting the inner ring chamber 111, so that the inner ring ejector tube 12 is penetrated in the through hole, so that the first air outlet 121 is located inside the inner ring chamber 111, and then the two can be connected by welding. There is no specific limitation on the connection method, but the air tightness of the connection between the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the annular component constituting the inner ring chamber 111 must be ensured. The preset direction A can be a vertical direction, or a direction having an acute angle with the vertical direction, and there is no specific limitation on it. In this embodiment, the preset direction A can be the thickness direction of the upper air inlet burner 1, and can also be understood as the height direction of the upper air inlet burner 1. When the upper air inlet burner 1 is set on a horizontal working surface for use, the preset direction A can be a vertical direction.
[0073] The outer ring ejector tube 13 can also adopt a standard straight ejector tube. The connection method between the outer ring ejector tube 13 and the burner body 11 can be to open a through hole on the annular component constituting the outer ring chamber 112, and to make the outer ring ejector tube 13 pass through the through hole and weld it, without specific limitation on its connection method. The outer ring ejector tube 13 also has a Venturi structure. The second air outlet 131 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 is located below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A. It can be understood that the second air outlet 131 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 is located in the outer ring chamber 112, and then the outer ring ejector tube 13 extends to the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A. The second air inlet 132 and the first air inlet 122 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 and the inner ring ejector tube 12 are both located below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A. The arrangement of the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 is not specifically limited, and a plurality of first air inlets 122 and second air inlets 132 may be concentrated together.
[0074] The specific number of the inner ring ejector tubes 12 and the outer ring ejector tubes 13 is not limited, and can be selected according to the total amount of air and gas required during actual operation, and also needs to be selected according to the space limitation inside the upper air intake burner 1. In this embodiment, two inner ring ejector tubes 12 and two outer ring ejector tubes 13 can be used to provide a mixed gas of air and gas for the upper air intake burner.
[0075] The first embodiment of the present disclosure provides an upper air inlet burner 1, which includes: a burner body 11, an inner ring ejector tube 12 and an outer ring ejector tube 13; wherein, at least one first air outlet 121 of the inner ring ejector tube 12 is connected to the inner ring chamber 111 of the burner body 11, and a plurality of second air outlets 131 of the outer ring ejector tubes 13 are connected to the outer ring chamber 112 of the burner body 11, and at least one first air inlet 122 of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and a plurality of second air inlet ports 131 of the outer ring ejector tubes 13 are connected to the outer ring chamber 112 of the burner body 11. 132 are all arranged below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A, so that the outer ring chamber 112 has a larger space below the preset direction A, so that more air can flow smoothly here. When the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13 eject the air, the air flow path is smoother, which reduces the interference between the air and the ejector tube and between the air, increases the ejection effect of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13, and thus improves the combustion efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1.
[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 are alternately arranged below the inner annular chamber 111 along the preset direction A along the circumference of the inner annular chamber 111 .
[0077] Specifically, the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 are arranged in a circular array along the circumference of the inner ring chamber 111, that is, along the circumference of the inner ring chamber 111, and there is a first air inlet 122 between two adjacent second air inlets 132. The reason for such arrangement is that the outer ring chamber 112 is larger in volume than the inner ring chamber 111, and more mixed gas is required inside it. If the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 are centrally arranged, the air flow rate at the concentration of the second air inlet 132 will be large, while the air flow rate at the concentration of the first air inlet 122 will be small, so that the air flow below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A is turbulent, affecting the combustion efficiency of the upper air intake burner 1. The first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 are alternately arranged along the circumference of the inner ring chamber 111, which is conducive to enhancing the stability of the air flow, and can more finely control the amount of air and gas entering the burner to increase the stability of the combustion chamber. At the same time, the space below the inner annular chamber 111 along the preset direction A is utilized more reasonably to reduce the interference of components on the airflow.
[0078] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, a center point of the first air inlet 122 and a center point of the second air inlet 132 have a position difference along a preset direction A.
[0079] Specifically, in order to ensure the ejection efficiency of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13, the cross section of the ejector tube in the length direction can be set to a circular cross section, and the corresponding first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 are circular holes, and the center points of the two are the center of the circle. Setting the position difference between the center point of the first air inlet 122 and the center of the second air inlet 132 along the preset direction A can make the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 eject air from different height positions, effectively preventing the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 from interfering with each other when ejecting air.
[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the center point of the first air inlet 122 is located close to the inner annular chamber 111 , and the center point of the second air inlet 132 is located far away from the inner annular chamber 111 .
[0081] Specifically, the center point of the first air inlet 122 is closer to the inner ring chamber 111 than the center point of the second air inlet 132. The volume of the outer ring chamber 112 is larger than that of the inner ring chamber 111, and more mixed gas of air and fuel gas is required, so the outer ring ejector tube 13 needs to be longer in order to eject more air into the outer ring chamber 112. The center point of the second air inlet 132 is set below the center point of the first air inlet 122 to ensure that the center point of the first air inlet 122 and the center point of the second air inlet 132 have a position difference, and the outer ring ejector tube 13 is made longer, which can effectively increase the ejection amount of air by the outer ring ejector tube 13. At the same time, the cross-sectional size of the outer ring ejector tube 13 along the length direction can be enlarged so that the center point of the second air inlet 132 is located below the center point of the first air inlet 122 along the preset direction A, so as to increase the ejection amount of air by the outer ring ejector tube 13. To ensure that the inner ring ejector tube 12 can also eject enough air, the inner ring ejector tube 12 can be set as a curved ejector tube to increase the length of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and reduce the space occupied by the inner ring ejector tube 12 to facilitate the setting of the outer ring ejector tube 13.
[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first air outlet 121 of at least one inner ring ejector tube 12 extends into the inner ring chamber 111, and is evenly distributed in the inner ring chamber 111 along the circumference of the inner ring chamber 111; the second air outlets 131 of multiple outer ring ejector tubes 13 extend into the outer ring chamber 112, and are evenly distributed in the outer ring chamber 112 along the circumference of the outer ring chamber 112.
[0083] Specifically, the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 are evenly arranged in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112, which can make the mixed gas entering the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 more uniform, and at the same time, to a certain extent, avoid the mixed gas entering the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 from colliding and interfering with each other in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112. Since the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 are respectively arranged in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112, the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 located below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A are also in a uniformly distributed state, which can also make the air flow below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A more stable, and effectively reduce the interference between air and air. The first gas outlet 121 and the second gas outlet 131 extend into the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 respectively, so that the mixed gas sprayed into the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 by the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13 can be mixed more fully.
[0084] In this embodiment, the two outer ring ejector tubes 13 and the two inner ring ejector tubes 12 can be divided into two groups, each group having an inner ring ejector tube 12 and an outer ring ejector tube 13, the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 in each group are close and staggered, the two groups are arranged along the circumferential circle of the inner ring chamber 111, and are evenly arranged so that the four air inlets are in a staggered state, and at the same time, the space below the outer ring chamber 112 along the preset direction A can be arranged in an orderly manner, thereby reducing the interference between air and air and between air and components.
[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first air outlet 121 faces the outer inner wall of the inner ring chamber 111 and is inclined toward the inner inner wall of the inner ring chamber 111; the second air outlet 131 faces the outer inner wall of the outer ring chamber 112 and is inclined toward the inner inner wall of the outer ring chamber 112.
[0086] Specifically, the first air outlet 121 faces the outer inner wall of the inner ring chamber 111 and is inclined toward the inner inner wall of the inner ring chamber 111. It can be understood that the line connecting the center point of the first air outlet 121 and the center point of the inner ring chamber 111 has a preset angle with the direction of the first air outlet 121, and the preset angle can be within a range of greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°. Without specific limitation, in this embodiment, the line connecting the center point of the first air outlet 121 and the center point of the inner ring chamber 111 can have a preset angle of 90° with the direction of the first air outlet 121, and the angle can be optimized and adjusted according to the size requirements of the inner ring chamber 111. Similarly, the second air outlet 131 faces the outer inner wall of the outer ring chamber 112 and is inclined toward the inner inner wall of the outer ring chamber 112. It can also be understood that the line connecting the center point of the second air outlet 131 and the center point of the outer ring chamber 112 has a preset angle with the direction of the second air outlet 131. There is no specific limitation on the preset angle. The preset angle can be between 90° and 180°, and can be optimized and adjusted according to the size requirements of the outer ring chamber 112. In this embodiment, the inner inner wall and the outer inner wall of the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 refer to the inner wall close to the center of the inner ring chamber 111 or the outer ring chamber 112 as the inner inner wall, and the outer outer wall away from the center of the circle as the outer outer wall.
[0087] With such arrangement, the mixed gas released from the first gas outlet 121 and the second gas outlet 131 can flow clockwise or counterclockwise in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 respectively and form a vortex to prevent the gases released from each first gas outlet 121 and each second gas outlet 131 from colliding in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 respectively when multiple first gas outlets 121 and multiple second gas outlets 131 are arranged in the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112, causing the pressure at the colliding point to be too high and causing flame separation or flashback in the burner.
[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the burner body 11 includes: an inner ring igniter seat 1111, an inner ring burner cover 1112, an outer ring igniter seat 1121 and an outer ring burner cover 1122; the inner ring burner cover 1112 covers the inner ring igniter seat 1111 to form an inner ring chamber 111, and the inner ring ejector tube 12 is passed through the inner ring igniter seat 1111; the outer ring burner cover 1122 covers the outer ring igniter seat 1121 to form an outer ring chamber 112, and the outer ring ejector tube 13 is passed through the outer ring igniter seat 1121, and the outer ring igniter seat 1121 is connected to the inner ring igniter seat 1111 through the outer ring ejector tube 13.
[0089] Specifically, the inner ring fire divider seat 1111, the inner ring burner cover 1112, the outer ring fire divider seat 1121 and the outer ring burner cover 1122 can all adopt the corresponding parts in the prior art, and are not specifically limited.

[0090] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the burner body 11 further includes: an inner ring fire cover 1113 and an outer ring fire cover 1123; the inner ring fire cover 1113 is connected to the inner ring fire distributor seat 1111, the inner ring fire cover 1113 and the inner ring burner cover 1112 enclose an inner ring fire outlet channel 113, the inner ring fire outlet channel 113 is connected to the inner ring chamber 111, the inner inner wall 1131 of the inner ring fire outlet channel and the outer inner wall 1132 of the inner ring fire outlet channel are both along the preset direction A and away from The diameter of the inner ring igniter seat 1111 gradually increases; the outer ring fire cover 1123 is connected to the outer ring igniter seat 1121, the outer ring fire cover 1123 and the outer ring burner cover 1122 form an outer ring fire outlet channel 114, the outer ring fire outlet channel 114 is connected to the outer ring chamber 112, the inner inner wall 1141 of the outer ring fire outlet channel and the outer inner wall 1142 of the outer ring fire outlet channel are both along the preset direction A, and the diameter gradually increases in the direction away from the outer ring igniter seat 1121.
[0091] Specifically, the connection method between the inner ring fire cover 1113 and the inner ring igniter seat 1111 can be riveted or clamped by a clamping structure, and there is no specific limitation on it.

The first bending structure 11121 and the two surfaces adjacent to the first flared structure 11131 respectively constitute the inner inner wall 1131 and the outer inner wall of the inner ring fire outlet channel, and the diameter gradually increases in the direction away from the inner ring igniter seat 1111. The connection method between the inner ring fire outlet channel 113 and the inner ring chamber 111 can be that the inner inner wall of the inner ring ignition distributor seat 1111 and the inner ring burner cover 1112 have a gap to form an annular connecting hole, which can connect the inner ring fire outlet channel 113 with the inner ring chamber 111, or an opening can be set on the inner ring burner cover 1112, and the specific connection method is not limited.
[0092] The connection method of the outer ring fire cover 1123 and the outer ring igniter seat 1121 can be the same as the connection method of the inner ring fire cover 1113 and the inner ring igniter seat 1111, and it is not specifically limited. Similarly, a second bending structure 11221 that bends into the outer ring cavity is provided in the inner ring area of the outer ring burner cover 1122, and the outer ring fire cover 1123 has a second flared structure 11231 along a preset direction A and located above the outer ring chamber 112, and the second bending structure 11221 and the two surfaces adjacent to the second flared structure 11231 respectively constitute the inner inner wall 1141 and the outer inner wall of the outer ring fire outlet channel, and the diameter component increases in the direction away from the outer ring igniter seat 1121.

The inner wall of the outer ring ignition distributor seat 1121 and the outer ring burner cover 1122 may have a gap, or an opening may be set on the outer ring burner cover 1122. There is no specific limitation on this.
[0093] With such arrangement, the gases ejected from the inner ring chamber 111 and the outer ring chamber 112 respectively from the inner ring fire outlet channel 113 and the outer ring fire outlet channel 114 are diffused. After ignition by the ignition device, the flame of the upper air inlet burner 1 is also diffused, thereby effectively improving the thermal efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1 to meet the user's demand for higher heating efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1.
[0094] like Figure 4 , 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the top air inlet burner 1 also includes: an inner guide ring 14, the outer ring of the inner guide ring 14 is connected to the inner wall of the outer side of the inner ring chamber 111, the inner ring of the inner guide ring 14 is inclined away from the inner ring fire outlet channel 113, and a plurality of guide structures 16 are evenly distributed on the annular surface of the inner guide ring 14.
[0095] Specifically, the inner guide ring 14 can be a ring-shaped plate, which is not specifically limited. The connection method between the outer ring of the inner guide ring 14 and the inner ring chamber 111 can be welding, or a connecting plate can be set at the outer ring of the inner guide ring 14, and the connecting plate is clamped between the connection between the inner ring igniter seat 1111 and the inner ring burner cover 1112, and its specific connection method is not limited. The multiple guide structures 16 set on the annular surface of the inner guide ring 14 can be inclined guide holes 162, or they can be guide grooves, one side of the guide groove is an inclined groove wall 161, and the other side of the guide groove has a guide hole 162 on the groove wall, and the inclined groove wall 161 of the guide groove extends into the guide hole 162, and its inclination direction is the same as the flow direction of the mixed gas in the inner ring chamber 111. The inner ring of the inner guide ring 14 is inclined away from the inner ring fire outlet channel 113, which can be understood as the annular surface of the inner guide ring 14 facing the inner ring fire outlet channel 113. With such a configuration, the inner guide ring 14 can allow the mixed gas in the inner ring chamber 111 to flow more smoothly in the internal chamber, allowing the mixed gas to rotate upward from the bottom of the inner guide ring 14 to the top of the inner guide ring 14, which is beneficial to improving the combustion efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1.

[0097] Specifically, the outer guide ring 15 can also be an annular plate, and the connection method between the outer guide ring 15 and the outer ring chamber 112 can be welding, or a clamping structure can be set in the outer ring chamber 112 to clamp the outer ring guide plate in the outer ring chamber 112. The outer guide ring 15 can be formed by protruding in the direction away from the outer ring igniter seat 1121 to form two annular surfaces, or by being recessed in the direction close to the outer ring igniter seat 1121 to form two annular surfaces, and there is no specific limitation on it.
[0098] In this embodiment, the outer guide ring 15 can be set to a convex shape. The reason is that the volume of the outer ring chamber 112 is relatively large, and the outer ring burner cover 1122 is provided with a second bending structure 11221 to form the outer ring fire outlet channel 114. Part of the mixed gas injected into the outer ring chamber 112 will interfere with the second bending structure 11221, thereby causing the interfered gas to interfere with the non-interfered gas again, which will cause the gas in the outer ring chamber 112 to be more turbulent. The outer guide ring 15 is made to bulge away from the outer ring igniter seat 1121, so that the shape of the outer guide ring 15 and the outer ring burner cover 1122 can correspond, and the airflow inside the outer ring chamber 112 is kept in a stable state while the mixed gas is guided. The two annular surfaces of the outer guide ring 15 can be provided with the same guide structure 16 as that on the inner guide ring 14.

There is a large space below the outer ring chamber 112 along the preset direction A. When the upper air inlet burner 1 ejects air, the air flow path is smoother, reducing the interference between the air and the ejector tube and between the air and the air, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1.

Two annular mounting frames 115 can be provided on the upper air inlet burner 1, and the annular mounting frame 115 is erected on the mounting seat 24, and the ignition component 25 and the induction component 26 are inserted into the annular mounting frame 115, so as to realize the fixation of the upper air inlet burner 1. At the same time, an outer ring ejector pipe fixing seat 27 may be provided on the mounting plate surface 211 so that the upper air inlet burner 1 can be fixed on the mounting seat 24 more stably.
[0105] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer ring nozzle 22 and the inner ring nozzle 23 are alternately arranged in a circular array at a preset position.
[0106] The outer ring nozzle 22 provides gas for the outer ring ejector tube 13, and the inner ring nozzle 23 provides gas for the inner ring ejector tube 12. The outer ring nozzle 22 and the inner ring nozzle 23 are alternately arranged in a circumferential array at a preset position, which can effectively adapt the upper air intake burner 1 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and provide gas to the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 to prevent the air flow interference caused by the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13 ejecting air. In this embodiment, two outer ring nozzles 22 and two inner ring nozzles 23 are selected, and they are evenly arranged at the preset position of the mounting plate surface 211 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring chamber 111.
[0107] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first injection port of the outer ring nozzle 22 and the second injection port of the inner ring nozzle 23 have a position difference along the preset direction A. The first injection port is located close to the mounting plate surface 211 , and the second injection port is located away from the mounting plate surface 211 .
[0108] Specifically, the first injection port of the outer ring nozzle 22 and the second injection port of the inner ring nozzle 23 are used to inject gas from the outer ring nozzle 22 and the inner ring nozzle 23, respectively. Such a setting can adapt to the positions of the first air inlet 122 and the second air inlet 132 of the inner ring ejector pipe 12 and the outer ring ejector pipe 13 on the upper air inlet burner 1 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0112] Embodiment 3 of the third aspect of the present disclosure provides an upper air inlet combustion device, which includes the upper air inlet burner 1 and the nozzle seat 2 provided in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. Since the first air inlet 122 of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the second air inlet 132 of the outer ring ejector tube 13 of the upper air inlet burner 1 are both arranged below the inner ring chamber 111 along the preset direction A, there is a larger space below the outer ring chamber 112 along the preset direction A, so that more air can flow smoothly here. At the same time, no nozzles or other components are set on the part corresponding to the mounting plate surface 211 of the nozzle seat 2 and the outer ring chamber 112, which further enables the air to flow smoothly in the space between the mounting plate surface 211 and the outer ring chamber 112. When the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13 eject the air, the air flow path is smoother, reducing the interference between the air and the ejector tube and between the air, increasing the ejection effect of the inner ring ejector tube 12 and the outer ring ejector tube 13, and thus improving the combustion efficiency of the upper air inlet burner 1.
