[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0033] Some embodiments of the present application disclose a combustion device, comprising a shell 1, a swirler 2, and an igniter, wherein the shell 1 has oppositely arranged inlets and outlets 11, as shown in Figure 1 The inlets and outlets 11 are respectively located at both ends of the axial direction of the shell 1; the inlet of the shell 1 is provided with the swirler 2, and fuel and air are supplied into the shell 1 through the swirler 2, the swirler 2 is used for mixing the fuel and air, and the uniformity of the fuel and air mixing is enhanced; the igniter is used for ignition, so that the mixed fuel and air are combusted to form high-temperature working medium, and the high-temperature working medium is discharged through the outlet 11; the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet near the outlet 11, and cold air is supplied into the shell 1 through the air inlet, mixed with the high-temperature working medium, and the temperature of the high-temperature working medium discharged from the outlet 11 is reduced.

[0034] The combustion device disclosed in the scheme is provided with an air inlet for supplying cold air into the shell 1 at the position of the outlet 11 of the shell 1, the cold air is mixed with the high-temperature working medium formed after combustion, and the cold air exchanges heat with the high-temperature working medium to reduce the temperature of the high-temperature working medium discharged from the outlet 11. The position of the air inlet for supplying the cold air for cooling the high-temperature working medium is arranged close to the position of the outlet 11 of the shell 1, and the air for combustion with the fuel is supplied into the shell 1 at two different positions, and the position of the air inlet is far away from the position of combustion and close to the position of the outlet 11, so that the cold air does not dilute the concentration of the fuel, reduces the difficulty of ignition and the risk of extinguishing after ignition, and ensures that the fuel can fully combust with the air, thereby reducing the risk of incomplete combustion of the fuel.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , the air inlet is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the shell 1, and the cold air is supplied into the shell 1 from the circumferential side wall of the shell 1, and there is an included angle between the supply direction of the cold air and the discharge direction of the high-temperature working medium, which helps to enhance the mixing effect of the cold air and the high-temperature working medium.

[0036] The combustion device disclosed in the scheme further comprises an auxiliary combustion assembly 3 arranged downstream of the inlet, and the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 is used for supplying fuel and air into the shell 1. After the igniter ignites the mixed gas entering the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 supplies fuel and air into the shell 1 to combust with the ignited mixed gas.

[0037] In some embodiments, the auxiliary fuel assembly is arranged corresponding to the position of the igniter. The fuel supplied by the auxiliary fuel assembly and the fuel supplied by the cyclone 2 can be the same fuel or different fuels.

[0038] The number of auxiliary fuel assemblies along the axis direction of the shell 1 is at least two.

[0039] When only the mixed gas of air and fuel is supplied into the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, the flow of the high-temperature working medium generated by the combustion device is low, and when the mixed gas of air and fuel is supplied into the shell 1 through the cyclone 2 and the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 at the same time, the flow of the high-temperature working medium generated by the combustion device is high.

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 comprises a plurality of fuel pipes 31 and a plurality of primary air pipes 32, the plurality of fuel pipes 31 are distributed along the circumference of the shell 1, the plurality of primary air pipes 32 are distributed along the circumference of the shell 1, the fuel pipes 31 and the primary air pipes 32 are arranged at intervals in the circumference of the shell 1, and specifically, there are at least one fuel pipe 31 between two adjacent primary air pipes 32.

[0041] The fuel pipes 31 and the primary air pipes 32 of the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the shell 1, which improves the uniformity of the distribution of the fuel and the air in the shell 1 to some extent and helps the combustion of the fuel.

[0042] The auxiliary combustion assembly 3 is located downstream of the swirler 2 and upstream of the air inlet, and the cold air supplied through the air inlet cools the high-temperature working medium formed by the combustion of the mixed gas of the fuel and the air supplied through the swirler 2 and the auxiliary combustion assembly into the shell 1.

[0043] The cold air supplied through the air inlet only cools the high-temperature working medium and does not participate in the combustion as much as possible.

[0044] In some embodiments, the included angle between the fuel pipes 31 and the primary air pipes 32 and the radial direction of the shell 1 is 30°-60°. Specifically, the fuel supplied through the fuel pipes 31 and the air supplied through the primary air pipes 32 are not blown in the radial direction of the shell 1, but are blown in a direction of 30°-60° with respect to the radial direction of the shell 1, so that the fuel and the air blown into the shell 1 rotate along the circumferential direction of the shell 1, which not only does not reduce the speed of the fuel and the air entering the shell 1, but also helps the mixing of the fuel and the air.

[0045] The plurality of fuel pipes 31 are communicated with the fuel supply device through a fuel main pipe, and the plurality of primary air pipes 32 are communicated with the air fan through an air main pipe. A valve is arranged on each fuel pipe 31 and each primary air pipe 32, which is used to control the on-off and the flow rate of the fuel pipe 31 and the primary air pipe 32, so as to control the amount of the fuel and the air entering the shell 1, and further control the flow rate of the high-temperature working medium. The air fan adjusts the flow rate of the air.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fuel pipes 31 are communicated with the fuel supply device through a large flow meter, and the primary air pipes 32 are communicated with the air fan.

[0047] The swirler 2 is communicated with the fuel supply device through a small flow meter, and the swirler 2 is communicated with the air fan. Specifically, the swirler 2 has a fuel supply pipe communicated with the fuel supply device and an air supply pipe communicated with the air fan. The fuel supply pipe and the air supply pipe are coaxially arranged. The fuel supply pipe is communicated with the fuel supply device through a small flow meter, and the air supply pipe is communicated with the air fan.

[0048] The swirler 2 and the auxiliary combustion assembly 3 can share the fuel supply device, or the fuel supply device can be arranged separately.

[0049] It should be noted that the large flow meter and the small flow meter are both flow measuring instruments, and the measurement ranges of the large flow meter and the small flow meter are different. The measurement range of the large flow meter is large, the caliber of the large flow meter is large, and the large flow meter is suitable for large flow and low measurement accuracy. The measurement range of the small flow meter is small, the caliber of the small flow meter is small, and the small flow meter is suitable for small flow and high measurement accuracy. Alternatively, the measurement ranges of the large flow meter and the small flow meter can overlap.

[0050] The present scheme measures the flow of fuel and air supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2 by the small flow meter, and measures the flow of fuel and air supplied to the shell 1 through the auxiliary fuel assembly by the large flow meter. Alternatively, the small flow meter and the large flow meter are mass flow meters.

[0051] The combustion device disclosed in the present scheme has a two-way fuel and air supply structure, which cooperates with the large flow meter and the small flow meter to enable the combustion device to not only adjust the flow range in the small flow range, but also adjust the flow range in the large flow range, thereby expanding the flow range of the high-temperature working medium.

[0052] When the combustion device is started, only fuel and air are supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, and the small flow meter cooperates with the valve to control the flow of fuel and air to enable the flow of fuel and air to be the flow for safe ignition of the combustion device. After the igniter is ignited, the combustion device starts to burn, and the flow of fuel and air is adjusted after the combustion is stable.

[0053] After the high-temperature working medium supplied by the combustion device meets the demand, the flow of fuel and air supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2 can be adjusted to meet the flow for safe ignition of the combustion device, which is equivalent to retaining a primer. At this time, the flow of the high-temperature working medium output by the combustion device is the smallest. The present scheme precisely adjusts the safe ignition flow of the combustion device by the small flow meter, so that the combustion device can operate at the safe ignition flow, which not only reduces the flow of the high-temperature working medium output by the combustion device, but also enables the combustion device to restore the output of the high-temperature working medium only by increasing the flow of fuel and air supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2 when the output of the high-temperature working medium is required again. The time for the combustion device to restore the output of the high-temperature working medium is shortened, and the combustion device does not need to be shut down compared with the related art.

[0054] The large flow meter cooperates with the valve to adjust the flow of fuel and air supplied to the shell 1 through the auxiliary fuel assembly to meet the measurement requirements of large flow of fuel and air.

[0055] In the low-flow high-temperature mode, fuel and air are supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, and the auxiliary fuel assembly does not supply fuel and air to the shell 1, and the outlet 11 of the combustion device discharges low-flow high-temperature high-temperature working medium.

[0056] In the low-flow low-temperature mode, the fuel and air are supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, the auxiliary fuel assembly does not supply fuel and air to the shell 1, the air inlet supplies cold air to the shell 1, which is mixed with the high-temperature working medium generated by combustion, and the outlet 11 of the combustion device discharges the low-flow low-temperature high-temperature working medium.

[0057] In the high-flow high-temperature mode, the fuel and air are supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, the auxiliary fuel assembly also supplies fuel and air to the shell 1, and the outlet 11 of the combustion device discharges the high-flow high-temperature high-temperature working medium.

[0058] In the high-flow high-temperature mode, the fuel and air are supplied to the shell 1 through the cyclone 2, the auxiliary fuel assembly also supplies fuel and air to the shell 1, and the air inlet supplies cold air to the shell 1, which is mixed with the high-temperature working medium generated by combustion, and the outlet 11 of the combustion device discharges the high-flow low-temperature high-temperature working medium.

[0059] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is sleeved with a volute 4, the inlet of the volute 4 is communicated with the fan, and the outlet 11 of the volute 4 is communicated with the air inlet. After the cold air passes through the volute 4, a rotational flow is generated, the air flow rate is increased, and the mixing effect of the cold air and the high-temperature working medium is enhanced.

[0060] Specifically, the shell 1 has a plurality of air inlets communicated with the outlet 11 of the volute 4, so as to increase the supply amount of cold air and optimize the mixing effect of the cold air and the high-temperature working medium.

[0061] The volute 4 can be arranged along the circumference of the shell 1 or on one side of the shell 1.

[0062] In order to reduce the influence of the cold air on the combustion in the combustion device, the included angle between the axis of the air inlet and the axis of the shell 1 is 20°-75°, the air outlet position of the air inlet is close to the outlet 11 relative to the air inlet position of the air inlet, the inclined direction of the air inlet is towards the outlet 11, and the cold air is sprayed along the discharge direction of the high-temperature working medium, so as to reduce the movement of the cold air towards the inlet direction, increase the contact area of the cold air and the high-temperature working medium, and improve the cooling effect on the high-temperature working medium.

[0063] In order to further optimize the above technical scheme, the air inlet is provided with a perforated plate, the perforated plate has a plurality of air inlets communicated with the shell 1, and the perforated plate disperses the cold air, which is helpful for the mixing of the cold air and the high-temperature working medium.

[0064] Optionally, the perforated plate and the air inlet can be movably connected, so as to adjust the angle of the perforated plate and further adjust the air outlet angle of the cold air.

[0065] For example, the perforated plate is provided with a plurality of air inlets, and the air inlets are arranged in a plurality of rows along the circumferential direction of the perforated plate.
