Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the range, in particular to a double security flameout protection system of the range. BACKGROUND

[0002] The thermocouple type flameout protection device has the characteristics that when it is heated, a thermoelectric potential is generated. By using this characteristic, various protection devices can be formed. The thermocouple type flameout protection device includes a thermocouple and a solenoid valve, so it is also called a magnetic control safety valve, which is a kind of flameout protection device more used in modern gas appliances. The magnetic control safety valve uses a thermocouple as a heat-sensitive element. The thermocouple is placed in the flame range of a small burner or a main burner. When the thermocouple is heated, the free electrons in the two different metals accept heat energy, and the movement is intensified to form a thermoelectric potential, which is a heat-to-electricity conversion process. The potential generated by the thermocouple is connected to the coil of the solenoid valve, generating a magnetic field to make the solenoid valve act, the gas valve opens, the gas in the main gas passage is conducted, and the main burner burns normally. Once the flame detected by the thermocouple is extinguished, the potential at the end of the thermocouple lead drops to zero quickly, the magnetic control valve coil loses power, and under the action of the spring, it quickly resets, and the valve gasket seals the gas source channel to stop the gas supply.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the dual-safety flameout protection system for stoves provided in this embodiment includes a stove platform 1, a burner head 2 fixedly installed on the stove platform 1, an ignition needle 8 and a thermocouple flame probe 9 fixedly installed on the burner head 2, a gas pipe 3 for supplying gas to the burner head 2 installed on the stove platform 1, a solenoid valve 4 and a flow sensor 5 installed on the gas pipe 3, the thermocouple flame probe 9 being electrically connected to the solenoid valve 4, a horn 6 and a controller 7 fixedly installed on the inner side of the stove platform 1, the controller 7 being electrically connected to the flow sensor 5 and the thermocouple flame probe 9, and the horn 6 being controlled by the controller 7.

[0035] The thermocouple flame probe 9 monitors the flame state in real time, and once the flame is extinguished, the electromagnetic valve 4 is immediately closed to cut off the gas supply. At the same time, the flow sensor 5 monitors the gas flow, and when the thermocouple flame probe 9 detects that the flame is extinguished but the flow sensor 5 monitors that the gas is still being delivered, the controller 7 controls the horn 6 to sound an alarm to remind personnel to manually close in a timely manner, effectively preventing gas leakage.

[0036] The controller 7 in this embodiment can use a DSP controller with model TMS320F2812.

[0037] The flow sensor 5 can be an AWM series gas mass flow sensor, which is widely used in gas equipment and has high precision and fast response. The AWM series sensor uses a hot film principle and is suitable for measuring the mass flow of gas, with good stability and reliability.

[0038] The thermocouple flame probe 9 can use a K-type thermocouple, which is a widely used standard thermocouple type suitable for various industrial temperature measurement applications. The K-type thermocouple has a wide operating temperature range (about -200℃ to 1200℃), fast response speed, low cost, and is easy to obtain.

[0039] The above specific models are not limited here, as long as they meet the functions of this embodiment.

[0040] In this embodiment, protective frames are provided on the ignition needle 8 and the thermocouple flame probe 9, and the protective frames are detachably installed on the cooktop 2 through dismounting pieces;

[0041] The protective frame includes a ring plate 10, and a plurality of protective rods 1001 are fixedly connected to the top of the ring plate 10, and the plurality of protective rods 1001 are arranged in an equidistant annular array.

[0042] In this embodiment, the dismounting pieces include a plurality of arc-shaped insertion blocks 1002, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring plate 10 in an equidistant annular array, and the cooktop 2 is provided with arc-shaped insertion holes 201 corresponding to the arc-shaped insertion blocks 1002. The lower end of the arc-shaped insertion block 1002 extends to the lower side of the cooktop 2 after penetrating through the arc-shaped insertion hole 201, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped insertion block 1002 is provided with external threads 1003. The nut 1004 is threadedly fixed to the lower end of the arc-shaped insertion block 1002. Through this arrangement, when installing, the ring plate 10 is sleeved on the thermocouple flame probe 9 or the ignition needle 8, then the lower end of the arc-shaped insertion block 1002 is inserted into the arc-shaped insertion hole 201, and then the nut 1004 is threadedly fixed to the lower end of the arc-shaped insertion block 1002. When dismounting, only the nut 1004 needs to be unscrewed, and the ring plate 10 can be removed from the cooktop 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to not affect the lead wires of the thermocouple flame probe 9 and the ignition needle 8 during installation, a wire passing notch 1006 is formed on the nut 1004.

[0044] In order to facilitate the screwing of the nut 1004, a handle 1005 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the nut 1004.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the dismounting part includes a plurality of L-shaped elastic sheets 1007, one end of the L-shaped elastic sheet 1007 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the annular plate 10, a reverse U-shaped seat 1008 corresponding to the L-shaped elastic sheet 1007 is fixedly connected to the cooktop 2, a limiting protrusion 10071 is formed on the top of the end of the L-shaped elastic sheet 1007 away from the annular plate 10, and the limiting protrusion 10071 can be clamped on the reverse U-shaped seat 1008 after the end of the L-shaped elastic sheet 1007 away from the annular plate 10 penetrates the inner side of the reverse U-shaped seat 1008. Through the above setting, when the annular plate 10 is installed, the annular plate 10 is sleeved on the thermocouple flame probe 9 or the ignition needle 8, then the annular plate 10 is rotated, so that the limiting protrusion 10071 penetrates out of the inner side of the reverse U-shaped seat 1008, then the limiting protrusion 10071 is clamped on the reverse U-shaped seat 1008 under the elastic force of the L-shaped elastic sheet 1007, when the annular plate 10 needs to be dismounted, the limiting protrusion 10071 is only pressed downward, so that the top of the limiting protrusion 10071 is lower than the inner top of the reverse U-shaped seat 1008, then the annular plate 10 is reversely rotated.

[0047] In order to facilitate installation, a guide inclined surface 10072 is formed on the top of the limiting protrusion 10071.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ignition needle 8 and the detection circuit of the thermocouple flame probe 9 are isolated, the high-voltage pack secondary coil of the ignition needle 8 is changed to one end grounded and one end generating high voltage (in the previous high-voltage pack, both terminals are discharged), the distance between the two ports is increased from the original 18mm to 36mm, and the high-voltage pack is changed from a split groove winding method to a layered winding method, so that the ignition needle 8 is far away or damaged, and the pulse high voltage can be discharged between the layers of the high-voltage pack without damaging the flameout protection detection circuit and causing high-voltage leakage of the stove, making the customer use safer, changing the traditional flameout protection of the commercial stove, which causes the pulse high voltage to damage the detection circuit and causes the flameout protection to malfunction due to the ignition needle being far away or damaged, prolonging the service life of the flameout protection and reducing maintenance.
