[0002] A gas furnace has been proposed in the prior art, comprising a controller, a fan and a wind pressure sensor. The wind pressure sensor is arranged on the air intake side of the fan, and the controller is electrically connected to the fan and the wind pressure sensor, respectively. The wind pressure sensor collects the wind pressure value on the air intake side of the fan, and the controller determines the specific location where the gas furnace is blocked based on the wind pressure value on the air intake side of the fan, so as to be able to quickly locate the fault location.

[0023] A gas furnace with a wind pressure sensor includes a housing 1, a first gas pipe 2, a gas valve 3, a second gas pipe 4, a burner 5, an ignition needle 6, a heat exchange tube assembly 7, a water collection tray 8, a smoke exhaust fan 9, a pressure measuring tube 10, a wind pressure sensor 11, a control panel 12, a blower 13, and a smoke exhaust pipe 14. The burner 5 includes a first input end 51 and a first output end 52, and the heat exchange tube assembly 7 includes a second input end 71 and a second output end 72.
[0024] The first gas pipe 2, the gas valve 3, the second gas pipe 4, the burner 5, the ignition needle 6, the heat exchange tube assembly 7, the water collecting tray 8, the smoke exhaust fan 9, the pressure measuring tube 10, the wind pressure sensor 11, the control panel 12 and the blower 13 are all arranged inside the casing 1;
[0025] One end of the first gas pipe 2 is connected to one end of the second gas pipe 4 through the gas valve 3, and the other end of the second gas pipe 4 is connected to the first input end 51 of the burner 5. The ignition needle 6 is arranged between the first output end 52 of the burner 5 and the second input end 71 of the heat exchange tube assembly 7. The water collecting tray 8 is connected to the second output end 72 of the heat exchange tube assembly 7. A wind pressure detection port 80 and a smoke exhaust port (not shown in the figure) are provided on the outside of the water collecting tray 8. The smoke exhaust fan 9 is installed on the outside of the water collecting tray 8, and the smoke exhaust port is connected to one end of the smoke exhaust pipe 14. The other end of the smoke exhaust pipe 14 passes through the top of the casing 1, the wind pressure sensor 11 is installed on the outside of the smoke exhaust fan 9, one end of the pressure measuring tube 10 is connected to the wind pressure detection port 80, and the other end of the pressure measuring tube 10 is connected to the wind pressure sensor 11. The blower 13 is located below the heat exchange tube assembly 7, and the control panel 12 is located in front of the blower 13. The control panel 12 is electrically connected to the gas valve 3, the smoke exhaust fan 9, the wind pressure sensor 11 and the blower 13 respectively, and the control panel 12 is used to adjust the speed of the smoke exhaust fan 9.
[0026] A gas furnace with a wind pressure sensor in this solution, such as Figure 1-2As shown, when the gas furnace needs to operate normally, gas is first introduced into the first gas pipe 2. Then, the control panel 12 controls the opening of the gas valve 3, which can adjust the gas flow rate. The gas enters the burner 5 through the second gas pipe 4 and is fully mixed with the air within the burner 5. When the gas-air mixture is output from the burner 5, the ignition needle 6 and the smoke exhaust fan 9 are activated. The gas-air mixture is ignited by the ignition needle 6, generating flue gas. The flue gas enters the heat exchange tube assembly 7 under the action of the smoke exhaust fan 9, where it undergoes heat exchange processing, producing condensed water and heat-exchanged flue gas. The condensed water is collected in the water collection tray 8, and the heat-exchanged flue gas is discharged outside the casing 1 through the smoke exhaust pipe 14. At the same time, the control panel 12 controls the blower 13 to start, and the cold air outside the casing 1 is sucked into the interior of the casing 1 under the action of the blower 13, and absorbs heat through the heat exchange tube assembly 7 to form hot air and be discharged outside the casing 1 to provide hot air to the room that needs heating.
[0027] In this solution, by setting the pressure measuring tube 10 and the wind pressure sensor 11, when the smoke exhaust fan 9 is running, real-time wind pressure will be generated at the wind pressure detection port 80 of the water collecting tray 8. The real-time wind pressure is transmitted to the wind pressure sensor 11 through the pressure measuring tube 10. The wind pressure sensor 11 converts the pressure value into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control board 12. The control board 12 can calculate the difference between the real-time wind pressure and the preset wind pressure value, and adjust the speed of the smoke exhaust fan 9 according to the difference, so that the real-time wind pressure reaches the preset wind pressure value, thereby maintaining the stability of the internal pressure of the gas furnace and improving the safety of the gas furnace.
[0028] Preferably, the heat exchange tube assembly 7 includes a primary heat exchange tube 73 and a secondary heat exchange tube 74, and one end of the primary heat exchange tube 73 is connected to one end of the secondary heat exchange tube 74. Figure 2 As shown, as the flue gas enters the heat exchange tube assembly 7 under the action of the exhaust fan 9, it first enters the primary heat exchange tube 73. The flue gas transfers its high-temperature heat to the primary heat exchange tube 73, causing the flue gas temperature to drop. After passing through the primary heat exchange tube 73, the flue gas has a lower temperature, but still contains a certain amount of heat. In the secondary heat exchange tube 74, this remaining heat is further absorbed by the tube, achieving further heat recovery and further reducing the flue gas temperature.
[0029] Preferably, a flame sensor 15 is further included, and the flame sensor 15 is arranged between the first output end 52 of the burner 5 and the second input end 71 of the heat exchange tube assembly 7. In this embodiment, Figure 2When the mixture of gas and air is ignited by the ignition needle 6, the flame sensor 15 can monitor in real time whether the mixture of gas and air is ignited successfully. When the flame sensor 15 detects the generation of flame, it indicates that the mixture of gas and air is ignited successfully, and the exhaust fan 9 is started to draw the smoke into the heat exchange tube assembly 7.
[0030] Preferably, it further comprises an air pressure switch 16, which is installed on the outside of the smoke exhaust fan 9 and is electrically connected to the control panel 12. Figure 1 As shown, the setting of the wind pressure switch 16 can detect the change of wind pressure in real time. When the wind pressure switch 16 detects that the wind pressure change is abnormal, the control board 12 will cut off the gas valve 3 after receiving the signal of the abnormal wind pressure change, thereby protecting the entire gas furnace.
[0031] Preferably, it further comprises a nozzle 17, which is installed at the other end of the second gas pipe 4. In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the gas is injected into the burner 5 through the nozzle 17. The setting of the nozzle 17 allows the injection amount, injection speed and injection angle of the gas to be adjusted and controlled, thereby flexibly adjusting the supply of gas and achieving more precise combustion control.
[0032] Preferably, it further comprises a mounting base 18, which is arranged below the exhaust fan 9, and the control panel 12 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 18. Figure 2 As shown, the provision of the mounting seat 18 not only enables the fixation of the control panel 12 to be more stable, but also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the control panel 12 .
[0033] Preferably, an air outlet 19 is provided on the top of the housing 1. Figure 1 As shown, the cold air outside the casing 1 is sucked into the interior of the casing 1 by the blower 13, and absorbs heat through the heat exchange tube assembly 7 to form hot air, and the hot air is discharged outside the casing 1 through the exhaust port 19.
