[0002] In the current technical field of combustor, the design of combustor used in household and commercial range usually needs to consider the stability of flame, thermal efficiency, manufacturing cost and production difficulty. The traditional combustor structure is often assembled by multiple independent components, which not only increases the complexity of production, but also increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, the multi-component structure may cause assembly error, affecting the combustion effect and service life.

[0003] The existing combustor generally includes a fire cover, a fire cover seat and a combustor base, wherein the gas enters the fire cover seat through the gas passage of the combustor base, and is sprayed out through the fire hole of the fire cover seat after being ignited by the igniter, to generate a flame for heating or cooking. However, the structure of the traditional combustor is relatively complex, especially in the design of the gas passage, which involves complex processing technology and precise assembly requirements, which limits the cost-effectiveness of its large-scale production. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model provides a kind of combustor to solve the problems raised in the above background.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A kind of combustor, including fire cover, fire cover seat and combustor base, characterized in that, the fire cover seat is engaged and arranged above the combustor base, and the fire cover is covered on the top of the fire cover seat;The combustor base is integrally cast into shape, and is formed with auxiliary hole position and gas passage;The fire cover includes inner fire cover and outer fire cover;The auxiliary hole position is used for positioning and assembling the ignition needle and thermocouple;The fire cover seat includes inner annular space gas mixing cavity and outer annular space gas mixing cavity, and the inner annular space gas mixing cavity and the outer annular space gas mixing cavity are both formed with fire hole.

[0007] Preferably, the gas passage formed on the combustor base can be a non-independent adjustment design formed through and communicating the inner annular space gas mixing cavity and the outer annular space gas mixing cavity, or the inner annular space gas mixing cavity and the outer annular space gas mixing cavity each have an independent gas passage for separate adjustment design.

[0008] Preferably, when the gas passage on the burner base is designed to be non-independently adjustable, the gas passage leading to the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber has one or more gas passage outlets, and the gas passage leading to the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber has one or more gas passage outlets. Each gas passage outlet is equipped with a nozzle, and each nozzle needs to be positioned opposite to the inner annular flame ejector tube of the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber and the outer annular flame ejector tube of the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber in the burner cap seat. Therefore, the inner annular flame ejector tube of the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber is designed to have one or more outlets, and the outer annular flame ejector tube of the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber is also designed to have one or more outlets.

[0009] Preferably, when the gas passages on the burner base are designed for individual adjustment, the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber and the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber each have an independent gas passage. The gas passage of the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber has one or more gas passage outlets, while the gas passage of the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber has one or more gas passage outlets. Each gas passage outlet is equipped with a nozzle, and each nozzle needs to be positioned opposite to the inner annular flame ejector tube of the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber and the outer annular flame ejector tube of the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber in the burner cap seat. Therefore, the inner annular flame ejector tube of the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber is designed to have one or more, and the outer annular flame ejector tube of the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber is also designed to have one or more.

[0010] Preferably, when the gas passage on the burner base is designed for independent adjustment, both the gas passage in the inner annular air-gas mixing chamber and the gas passage in the outer annular air-gas mixing chamber are designed with a gas connection port. However, when the gas passage is designed for non-independent adjustment, there is only one gas connection port.

[0011] Preferably, the burner base is designed with a sunken conical cavity for the ejector tube on the burner cap seat to be fitted and positioned.

[0012] Preferably, the ejector tube is based on a cross-sectional plane, and its forming angle range is within 1° to 90°, while the tilt angle of the nozzle positioned opposite it must also be the same.

[0013] Preferably, the conical cavity is designed with a countersunk hole, and the bottom of the burner cap seat is formed with a positioning block. The burner cap seat and the burner base are further assembled and reinforced by the cooperation of the countersunk hole and the positioning block.

[0014] Preferably, the flame cover holder is designed with a flame transmission channel.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves easy production, easy assembly, and independent control of the inner and outer ring flames through a reasonable structural design, meeting users' needs for assembly and use in different installation scenarios or for more precise flame control. Easy production and assembly are reflected in the fact that the burner cap seat and burner base can be integrally cast, and the formed structure includes a positioning block at the bottom of the burner cap seat. The positioning block of the burner cap seat and burner base, through cooperation with the countersunk hole and the wedge-fitting of the injector tube with the conical cavity, can further assist in installation and reinforce the assembly. Therefore, no other hardware fasteners are needed; the three major components can be stably assembled through their own weight and reasonable structure. Meeting different usage needs is achieved through the differentiated design of the gas passage, allowing for independent control of the inner and outer ring flames. Whether controlled individually or uniformly, it is worth noting that this utility model, by tilting the ejector tubes, can increase the number and length of the ejector tubes without changing the height and lateral dimensions of the burner, thereby enhancing the ejection capacity of the ejector tubes and making the gas and air mix more thoroughly in the ejector tubes. This results in more complete combustion of the gas, lower carbon monoxide content, and effectively improves the thermal efficiency of the burner, which is beneficial for application in high-power burners. Furthermore, the appropriate tilt angle of the ejector tubes not only facilitates the miniaturization of the burner but also reduces the manufacturing difficulty and production cost. It can be further explained that the burner base is integrally cast, so the ejector tubes are formed by drilling, boring, or drafting, which further reduces production costs to some extent.
