Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and more specifically, to a novel gas-fired water heater heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A gas water heater, also known as a gas water boiler, is a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel and transfers heat to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger through combustion heating to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water.
[0003] The gas water heater is mainly composed of an exhaust device, a heat exchanger and a burner assembly. The burner assembly heats the heat exchange tubes that are passed through and wrapped around the heat exchanger, and the exhaust device is used to discharge the smoke. The heat exchange tubes in existing heat exchangers usually adopt reciprocating winding coils to ensure the heat exchange effect. However, a large number of heat exchange tubes increases the production cost and difficulty, and the connection between a large number of heat exchange tubes will increase the possibility of water leakage, affecting their service life.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat exchanger only has three heat exchange tubes, and the overall structure is simple and light, which reduces the production and transportation costs. The first heat exchange tube, the second heat exchange tube and the third heat exchange tube are connected only by welding the first U-shaped tube and the second U-shaped tube, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of water leakage.

[0020] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] The same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the drawings, and the words "bottom" and "top", "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0022] As shown in the figure, a new type of gas water heater heat exchanger includes two support plates 1, a first heat exchange tube 2 is arranged between the two support plates 1, a second heat exchange tube 3 and a third heat exchange tube 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first heat exchange tube between the two support plates 1, one end of the first heat exchange tube 2 extending out of one support plate 1 is connected to a water inlet pipe 5, a first U-shaped tube 6 is arranged between the other end of the first heat exchange tube 2 and the end of the second heat exchange tube 3, a second U-shaped tube 7 is arranged between the other end of the second heat exchange tube 3 and the end of the third heat exchange tube 4, a water outlet pipe 8 is arranged at the other end of the third heat exchange tube 4, and heat conductive sheets 9 are evenly arranged between the first heat exchange tube 2, the second heat exchange tube 3 and the third heat exchange.
[0023] The heat exchanger has only three heat exchange tubes, so the overall structure is simple and the weight is light, which reduces the production and transportation costs. The first heat exchange tube 2, the second heat exchange tube 3 and the third heat exchange tube 4 are connected only by welding the first U-shaped tube 6 and the second U-shaped tube 7, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of water leakage.
[0024] An L-shaped bypass pipe 10 is provided between the end of the third heat exchange tube 4 close to the water inlet pipe 5 and the top of the water inlet pipe 5. When the water heater using the heat exchanger is just started to work, the water remaining in the third heat exchange tube 4 flows back into the first heat exchange tube 2 through the bypass pipe 10 to fully heat this part of the water, thereby improving its use effect.
[0025] The outer surfaces of the two support plates 1 are provided with mounting plates 11 along their circumferences, and sealing plates 12 are provided between the four mounting plates 11. A sealed sealing cavity is formed between the sealing plate 12, the support plates 1 and the four mounting plates 11, and the welding points at both ends of the first heat exchange tube 2, the second heat exchange tube 3, and the third heat exchange tube 4 are all located in the sealed cavity. When water leaks from the welding points at both ends of each heat exchange tube, water flows into the sealed cavity to prevent water from flowing into the inside of the water heater and affecting the normal use of the water heater. Each mounting plate 11 is also provided with a mounting hole 16 on the outside of the sealed cavity to facilitate the installation of the heat exchanger.
[0026] The sealing plate 12 includes two sub-plates 1201 arranged vertically, and a semicircular groove 13 for the first heat exchange tube 2, the second heat exchange tube 3, the third heat exchange tube 4, the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 8 is provided on the opposite side of the two sub-plates 1201. One side of the two sub-plates 1201 extends out of the outer surface of the top and bottom mounting plates 11, and is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 14 affixed to the outer surface of the mounting plate 11. The fixing plate 14 and the mounting plate 11 are fixedly connected by bolts 15, and a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the bottom of the sealing cavity.
[0027] By setting an alarm or alarm light on the outside of the water heater and connecting the electrical signal to the temperature sensor, it is possible to know whether the heat exchanger is leaking through the temperature sensor. If leakage occurs, the two sub-plates 1201 can be disassembled by unscrewing the bolts to repair the heat exchanger.
[0028] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the embodiments without any creative contribution as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
