Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chimney technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof backup chimney. Background Technology

[0002] When combustion equipment such as boilers and fireplaces malfunctions or is operated improperly, a large amount of combustible gas may accumulate inside the combustion chamber. Ignition under such circumstances may result in an explosion. The exhaust port of the chimney is small in size to prevent a large amount of backflow of outdoor wind, which may not be able to release the high pressure generated by the explosion in time, thus causing the combustion chamber to break or even disintegrate. Therefore, it is necessary to install explosion-proof structures on combustion equipment.

[0003] Current explosion-proof structures typically involve creating a pressure relief vent on the combustion equipment and installing a pre-pressurized cover to seal the combustion chamber. However, to ensure reliable pressure relief, the pre-pressurization on the cover cannot be too high, resulting in an unreliable seal. During operation, exhaust gases from fuel combustion can leak into the room, threatening the safety of users. Furthermore, an explosion could cause flames to erupt from the vent, potentially burning users or igniting nearby combustibles, leading to a fire. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an explosion-proof backup chimney to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, so that the chimney has pressure relief and explosion-proof functions.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an explosion-proof backup chimney, including a chimney body 100. A protective sleeve 200 is provided at the bottom of the chimney body 100. The protective sleeve 200 is installed at the smoke outlet of the combustion equipment. The protective sleeve 200 includes an outer sleeve 201 and an inner sleeve 202 arranged at intervals, wherein:

[0030] The upper opening of the outer sleeve 201 is sealed and connected to the chimney body 100. A sliding rod 203 is provided on the outer sleeve 201, and the depth of the sliding rod 203 extending into the outer sleeve 201 is adjustable.

[0031] An explosion-proof cover plate 204 is provided at the upper opening of the inner sleeve 202. A hinge 205 is provided on the side edge of the explosion-proof cover plate 204 to be hinged to the inner sleeve 202. A linkage rod 206 is provided between the sliding rod 203 and the explosion-proof cover plate 204.

[0032] Therefore, by adding a protective cylinder 200 to the chimney body 100, the explosion-proof backup chimney can retain the original chimney function and also have pressure relief and explosion-proof capabilities, reducing the risk of combustion and explosion.
