Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle auxiliary equipment, and in particular to the technical field of vehicle steam preheating devices. Background Technology

[0002] Since its invention in the late 19th century, the automobile has profoundly changed all aspects of human society. Its impact includes both positive contributions to the advancement of civilization and complex challenges such as environmental and safety issues. In frigid winters, the high viscosity of engine oil increases resistance, and fuel cannot be fully atomized, resulting in not only wasted time and fuel, and severe exhaust pollution, but also serious engine wear and tear, making cold starts difficult.

[0003] Traditional engine preheating methods primarily involve using a heater to draw cold water from the engine's coolant tank, then warming it via a fuel heater. This warm water then flows through the vehicle's heating ducts to preheat the interior, before returning to the engine coolant tank to preheat the engine. This preheating method is inefficient and unreliable. Some people even use flame torches or other open flames to heat the vehicle, which is unsafe and prone to causing accidents. Therefore, a more convenient vehicle preheating device is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a vehicle steam preheating device that can preheat vehicles with steam, which is highly efficient and safe.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a vehicle steam preheating device, comprising a main body, a furnace inside the main body, a water tank for containing liquid on the upper side of the furnace, a flue communicating with the furnace on the main body, the water tank surrounding the flue, a steam output pipe communicating with the interior of the water tank, and a first gate valve for controlling its on / off state on the steam output pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the furnace is also provided with a flame baffle, which is located on the lower side of the flue and is used to guide the flame in the furnace to the water tank.

[0007] Preferably, the main body is also provided with a water inlet communicating with the water tank, and the water inlet is provided with a second gate valve for controlling its opening and closing.

[0008] Preferably, the main body is also equipped with a pressure gauge and a pressure relief valve that cooperate with the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the main body is also provided with several rollers.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the furnace is provided with a grid air inlet plate.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the flue extends beyond the main body, and a smoke cover is provided at the top of the flue and is detachably connected thereto.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this vehicle steam preheating device are as follows: By setting up a furnace and a water tank in combination, the device can heat the water in the tank to generate steam. The steam is then delivered to the vehicle's preheating location through a steam output pipe, making preheating more convenient. Various fuels can be added to the furnace, so there are no fuel limitations. The device does not require open flames or electric heating, making it safer to use. By setting the water tank around the flue, the flue gas in the flue can also heat the water tank, making full use of heat, saving energy, and increasing heating efficiency.

[0024] See Figures 1-4This utility model discloses a vehicle steam preheating device, comprising a main body 1, a furnace 11 inside the main body 1, a water tank 12 for containing liquid on the upper side of the furnace 11, a flue 14 communicating with the furnace 11 on the main body 1, the water tank 12 surrounding the flue 14, and a steam output pipe 2 communicating with the interior of the water tank 12, with a first gate valve 3 for controlling its on / off state. In this embodiment, by setting the furnace 11 and the water tank 12 in cooperation, the water in the water tank 12 can be heated to generate steam, which is then delivered to the vehicle location requiring preheating through the steam output pipe 2, thus preheating the vehicle more conveniently. Various fuels can be added to the furnace 11, without fuel limitations, and the vehicle does not require open flame or electric heating, making it safer to use. By surrounding the flue 14 with the water tank 12, the flue gas in the flue can also heat the water tank 12, making full use of heat, saving energy, and achieving higher heating efficiency.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The main body 1 is also provided with a water inlet 15 communicating with the water tank 12, and the water inlet 15 is provided with a second gate valve 151 for controlling its opening and closing. The water inlet 15 is used to replenish water. The water in the water tank 12 should not exceed three-quarters of its total volume.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The main body 1 is also equipped with a pressure gauge 16 and a pressure relief valve 17 that cooperate with the water tank 12. The pressure gauge 16 is used to indicate the internal pressure of the water tank 12, and the pressure relief valve 17 is used to release pressure to ensure safety.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The main body 1 is also provided with three rollers 18 at its bottom. The rollers 18 facilitate movement and transfer.

[0028] See Figure 2 The furnace chamber 11 is equipped with a grid air inlet plate 111 at the bottom. This facilitates air intake and aids combustion.

[0029] See Figure 1 The top of the flue 14 extends beyond the main body 1, and a smoke cover 141 is detachably connected to the top of the flue 14. The longer flue facilitates complete fuel combustion and prevents excessively low smoke levels from affecting the user. The smoke cover 141 can cover the flue 14 when not in use. Example 2:

[0030] See Figure 2Based on Embodiment 1, the furnace 11 is further provided with a flame baffle 4. The flame baffle 4 is located below the flue 14 and is used to guide the flame in the furnace 11 to the water tank 12. The flame baffle 4 is fixed to the upper side of the furnace 11 by several metal connecting rods. When combustion occurs in the furnace 11, the flame baffle 4 can prevent the flame in the furnace 11 from directly entering the flue 14, thus preventing the heat from being fully utilized. The flame baffle 4 can guide the flame to the bottom of the water tank 12 to fully utilize the heat.

[0031] The working process of this utility model:

[0032] In operation, the steam preheating device for vehicles of this utility model involves filling water tank 12 with water and adding fuel to furnace 11 for ignition. The open flame in furnace 11 heats the water in water tank 12. When the water boils, steam is generated and delivered to the location on the vehicle that needs to be heated through steam output pipe 2, thereby preheating the vehicle.
