Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas heating water heaters, and particularly relates to a premixer and a fully premixed gas heating water heater. Background Art

[0002] A gas heating water heater, abbreviated as a wall-mounted boiler, is mainly used for winter heating and domestic hot water. With the promotion of the national coal-to-gas project, gas heating water heaters have been widely used and popularized. A gas heating water heater mainly consists of control, combustion, and heat exchange systems. It uses natural gas as fuel and transfers the heat generated by combustion to the circulating water of the system through the heat exchange system to provide domestic hot water and heating heat for users.

[0003] For a fully premixed gas heating water heater, before gas combustion, a negative pressure is generated in the premixer by the rotation of a blower, and the air inside the heating furnace is sucked into the premixer. At the same time, the gas proportional valve is opened, and gas enters the premixer through the gas inlet pipeline, realizing the full premixing of gas and air in proportion in the premixer, and then burning in the burner. Since the combustion of a fully premixed burner is not restricted by the mixing time and mixing space, it has the advantages of fast combustion speed, complete combustion, low nitrogen oxide emissions, and low noise, and has been increasingly used, especially in condensing water heaters and condensing heating furnaces.

[0004] Currently, the premixers of the prior art have the following problems: 1. The mixing ratio of gas and air is unreasonable, resulting in incomplete gas combustion. Different power models need to be matched with different premixers. Especially when operating at full load or low load, situations such as flameout or deflagration are likely to occur, leading to unstable combustion; 2. The applicability of the existing premixers in the market is insufficient. Multiple specifications of premixers are required for different power ranges, resulting in poor versatility; 3. Most of the existing premixers are used in combination with the gas valves and blowers of their respective manufacturers. Therefore, the compatibility of the installation interfaces of the premixers is poor, and most devices need to be additionally equipped with a threaded adapter for connecting the gas valve, resulting in increased costs and poor airtightness due to the addition of the adapter.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0032] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be intermediate elements at the same time. On the contrary, when an element is referred to as being "directly" connected to another element, there are no intermediate elements.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , which is a premixer 10 of a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, used for installation on a fully premixed gas heating and hot water boiler. The fully premixed gas heating and hot water boiler further includes a heat exchanger 20, a fan 30, a gas proportional valve 40, a burner 50, etc. The gas interface 112 of the premixer 10 is connected to the gas proportional valve 40 through a connecting pipe with movable nuts at both ends, making the connection between the two more convenient for installation, with low cost and good sealing performance. At the same time, it has strong practicability and solves the problem that the current premixer 10 needs to be additionally equipped with a threaded adapter for connecting to the gas valve.

[0034] Specifically, the premixer 10 includes a body 11 and an air conditioning component 12 installed on the body 11. The body 11 includes an outer tube 110 and an inner tube 111 sleeved inside the outer tube 110. A gas interface 112 is provided on the side of the outer tube 110. A number of gas guiding ports 113 are provided on the inner wall of the inner tube 111, and the gas guiding ports 113 are evenly distributed. A gas inlet passage communicating with the gas interface 112 is formed among the inner wall of the outer tube 110, the outer wall of the inner tube 111, and the gas guiding ports 113. The inner tube 111 is provided with a premixing chamber communicating with the air conditioning component 12, and the premixing chamber communicates with the gas inlet passage. It can be understood that in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the outer tube 110 has a closed end and an open end. One outer end of the inner tube 111 is connected to one inner end of the outer tube 110 to form the closed end of the outer tube 110. The air conditioning component 12 abuts against the open end of the outer tube 110 and the end of the inner tube 111 respectively, and is partially staggered with the gas guiding ports 113, so that the gas flows into the premixing chamber through the gas inlet passage and mixes with the air.

[0035] In one embodiment, the gas guiding ports 113 are arranged from large to small along the gas flow direction, so that the gas can be smoothly introduced into the premixing chamber. In other embodiments, a side adjustment port 114 communicating with the gas interface 112 is further provided on the side of the outer tube 110. The gas interface 112 is connected to the gas ratio valve 40 through a connecting pipe with movable nuts at both ends. The side adjustment port 114 is provided with a gas inlet adjustment nut 115, and the intake air volume of the gas interface 112 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the gas inlet adjustment nut 115 in the side adjustment port 114. In other embodiments, the air volume can also be matched through a choke ring. In some other embodiments, a flat adjustment port is provided on the outer end face of the gas inlet adjustment nut 115. In other embodiments, other adjustment ports, such as cross-shaped or internal hexagonal, can also be provided on the outer end face of the gas inlet adjustment nut 115, so that the gas inlet adjustment nut 115 can be screwed into the inner cavity of the gas interface 112 through a screwdriver to achieve a small amount of adjustment effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, an installation flange 116 is further provided at the end of the outer tube 110 for cooperating with the fan 30 for installation. A number of installation holes are provided on the installation flange 116, and the installation holes are evenly distributed. A number of fastening ports 117 are further provided on the side of the outer tube 110 to cooperate with the installation of the intake joint 120. The inner tube 111 is generally arranged from large to small along the gas flow direction, so that the gas and air can be evenly mixed in the premixing chamber.

[0037] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, the air conditioning component 12 includes an air inlet connector 120, an adjusting spring 121 disposed within the air inlet connector 120, an air intake adjusting member 122, and a fixed bushing 123. The air inlet connector 120 is provided with a gas guiding portion 124 communicating with the premixing chamber. The opposite ends of the air intake adjusting member 122 are provided with a first guiding rod and a second guiding rod. One end of the first guiding rod is sleeved within the gas guiding portion 124, and one end of the second guiding rod is sleeved within the fixed bushing 123. The adjusting spring 121 is disposed between the air intake adjusting member 122 and the gas guiding portion 124, and the adjusting spring 121 is sleeved within the first guiding rod, such that there is an air intake gap between the air intake adjusting member 122 and the gas guiding portion 124. The outer end of the fixed bushing 123 is provided with an air intake adjusting nut 125 abutting against the second guiding rod. By adjusting the position of the air intake adjusting nut 125 on the fixed bushing 123, the adjusting spring 121 is compressed to adjust the air intake gap between the air intake adjusting member 122 and the gas guiding portion 124, so as to correspondingly adjust the air intake volume, making the mixing ratio of air and gas reach the optimal value. It is possible to adjust an appropriate mixing ratio according to different power models, thereby improving the applicability of the premixer 10 and having relatively high versatility. Among them, the gas guiding portion 124 is provided with a receiving cavity for receiving the adjusting spring 121 to improve the stability of the adjusting spring 121. Devices such as the air intake adjusting member 122 and the fixed bushing 123 are each provided with a vent hole and an auxiliary fixing member.

[0038] In one embodiment, the outer end face of the air intake adjusting nut 125 is provided with a flat adjusting opening. In other embodiments, other adjusting openings, such as a cross-shaped or internal hexagonal opening, may also be provided on the outer end face of the air intake adjusting nut 125, such that the air intake adjusting nut 125 can be screwed into the inner cavity of the fixed bushing 123 by a screwdriver to achieve a small amount of adjustment effect. In some other embodiments, the air inlet connector 120 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 126. During installation, the clamping blocks 126 are clamped on the fastening opening 117, such that the air inlet connector 120 is tightly connected to the outer tube 110, and the gas guiding portion 124 abuts against the inner tube 111.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gas guiding portion 124 is provided with a gas guiding opening that gradually narrows, and the air intake adjusting member 122 is provided with a sealing slope surface adapted to the gas guiding opening, such that the cooperation between the air intake adjusting member 122 and the gas guiding portion 124 is better, facilitating better adjustment of the air intake condition.

[0040] In other embodiments, the air inlet connector 120 is further provided with a sealing end face. An O-ring 127 is provided at the connection between the sealing end face and the outer tube 110 of the device main body 11. The connection between the air inlet connector 120 and the device main body 11 is further sealed by the O-ring 127 to prevent air leakage.

[0041] Each of the technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.

[0042] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
