Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically relating to a waste heat recovery device for an energy-saving gas boiler. Background Technology
[0002] A boiler is a closed container used to heat water or other fluids by burning fuel or other heat sources. During operation, boilers emit flue gas containing a significant amount of heat energy, which requires waste heat recovery devices to remove. Existing waste heat recovery devices are typically installed on the boiler's exhaust pipes, usually secured with multiple bolts and nuts, making installation cumbersome and labor-intensive.
[0003] A patent with publication number CN211716603U discloses an energy-saving waste heat recovery device for a gas-fired boiler. The device includes a waste heat recovery unit, a flue pipe, a first fixed plate, a second fixed plate, bolts, nuts, a first handle, a first threaded shaft, and a first slider. When connecting the flue pipe to the inlet pipe of the waste heat recovery unit, the first and second fixed plates are first installed on the flue pipe and secured with bolts and nuts. Then, rotating the first handle rotates the first threaded shaft, which in turn causes the first fixed plate to slide via the first slider, thus ensuring complete contact between the inlet pipe of the waste heat recovery unit and the flue pipe.
[0004] However, the above solution requires not only pre-fixing the first and second fixing plates, but also rotating the first handle to move the first fixing plate after they are fixed. Furthermore, both the fixing of the first and second fixing plates and the movement of the first fixing plate are performed through threaded connections. Each installation requires manual rotation of the nut and the first handle multiple times, making the process cumbersome and laborious, resulting in a low level of automation. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a waste heat recovery device for an energy-saving gas boiler, including a base 1, a connecting pipe 11 and a flue pipe 14. The base 1 has a cavity inside and the bottom of the base 1 is open. The base 1 is provided with a moving component, which facilitates the movement of the base 1.
[0031] The movable component includes a movable plate 6, which is slidably positioned vertically within a cavity and also has a lead screw 4 rotatably mounted vertically. The movable plate 6 and the lead screw 4 are threadedly connected. Several pulleys 8 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the movable plate 6. The top of the lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the base 1, and a second gear 5 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the lead screw 4. A motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the inner top wall of the base 1. A first gear 3 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 2. The first gear 3 meshes with the second gear 5 and maintains a meshed state at all times.
[0032] In addition, several guide rods 7 are fixedly installed vertically inside the base 1, and each guide rod 7 is in a limiting sliding fit with the movable plate 6. The top of each guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the base 1, and the bottom of each guide rod 7 is provided with a disc, which is used to prevent the movable plate 6 from detaching from the guide rod 7.
[0033] When motor 2 is started, the output shaft of motor 2 drives the first gear 3 to rotate. The first gear 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate through the second gear 5, thereby causing the moving plate 6 to slide downward along the central axis of the lead screw 4, so that the pulley 8 contacts the ground and lifts the base 1 for easy movement.
[0034] A mounting base 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and a waste heat recovery unit 10 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 9. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the waste heat recovery unit 10. A first connecting piece is provided on one side of the connecting pipe 11, and a second connecting piece is provided on one side of the exhaust pipe 14. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are connected head-to-head by a snap-fit device, thereby achieving a tight fit between the connecting pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 14, and thus realizing the connection between the waste heat recovery unit 10 and the exhaust pipe 14.
[0035] The first connecting component includes a first fixing plate 12, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 11. Two limiting seats 13 are fixedly provided on one side of the first fixing plate 12, and each limiting seat 13 has a limiting groove 24. The limiting groove 24 is composed of an arc-shaped groove and a rectangular groove connected together, and several positioning holes are provided in the arc-shaped groove.
[0036] The second connecting piece includes a second fixing plate 15, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the exhaust pipe 14, and the second fixing plate 15 is arranged facing the first fixing plate 12.
[0037] The snap-fit component includes limiting plates 16. Two limiting plates 16 are rotatably mounted on the second fixed plate 15 via a rotating shaft. Each limiting plate 16 consists of a flat end and an arc end on all four sides. Each limiting plate 16 corresponds one-to-one with a limiting groove 24. The flat end of each limiting plate 16 slides into the rectangular groove of the corresponding limiting groove 24, and the arc end of each limiting plate 16 adapts to and slides into the arc-shaped groove of the corresponding limiting groove 24. Simultaneously, each limiting plate 16 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 17 via a connecting post. The second fixed plate 15 has several clearance grooves, each corresponding to a connecting post.
[0038] In addition, a number of positioning beads are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the limiting plate 16. The number of positioning beads is equal to the number of positioning holes and they correspond one-to-one. Each positioning bead slides and engages with the corresponding positioning hole.
[0039] like Figure 4As shown, the connecting pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 14 are aligned and fitted together, allowing the limiting plate 16 to slide into the arc-shaped groove of the limiting groove 24 through the rectangular groove. Then, the rotating plate 17 is rotated, causing the limiting plate 16 to rotate 90 degrees via the connecting column, thus positioning the positioning ball within the positioning hole, completing the fitting and limiting operation between the connecting pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 14. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the rotating plate 17 in the opposite direction, causing the limiting plate 16 to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the engagement between the positioning ball and the positioning hole, and then pull out the limiting plate 16.
[0040] Working principle of Example 1: When in use, start motor 2. The output shaft of motor 2 drives the first gear 3 to rotate. The first gear 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate through the second gear 5, thereby driving the moving plate 6 to slide downward along the central axis of the lead screw 4, so that the pulley 8 contacts the ground and lifts the base 1, making it easy to move the waste heat recovery unit 10.
[0041] The operator moves the waste heat recovery unit 10 near the boiler, ensuring that the connecting pipe 11 and the flue pipe 14 are aligned and fitted together. This allows the limiting plate 16 to slide into the arc-shaped groove of the limiting groove 24 through the rectangular groove. Then, the rotating plate 17 is rotated, causing the limiting plate 16 to rotate 90 degrees via the connecting column. This positions the positioning ball within the positioning hole, completing the fitting and limiting operation between the connecting pipe 11 and the flue pipe 14, thus achieving stable connection between the waste heat recovery unit 10 and the flue pipe 14.
[0042] When disassembly is required, simply rotate the rotating plate 17 in the opposite direction so that the limiting plate 16 rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the engagement between the positioning ball and the positioning hole, and then pull out the limiting plate 16.
[0043] Example 2: Figures 5-8 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the first connecting member includes a fourth fixing plate 25, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 11. Two first clamping plates 18 are fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the fourth fixing plate 25, symmetrically positioned at both ends of the fourth fixing plate 25. Figure 7 As shown, the first card plate 18 is provided with both a protrusion 26 and a positioning hole.
[0044] The second connecting piece includes a third fixing plate 19, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the exhaust pipe 14. Two second clamping plates 22 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the third fixing plate 19. The two second clamping plates 22 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the third fixing plate 19. The second clamping plates 22 are fixedly provided with protrusions 26 and positioning holes.
[0045] The first card plate 18 corresponds one-to-one with the second card plate 22, and each first card plate 18 is centrally symmetrical with the corresponding second card plate 22.
[0046] The snap-fit component includes a slot plate 21. Two connecting plates 20 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the fourth fixing plate 25. The two connecting plates 20 are symmetrically arranged, and support columns are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the two connecting plates 20. A slot plate 21 is rotatably mounted on opposite sides of the two support columns. Each slot plate 21 has two grooves 23. The two grooves 23 on the same slot plate 21 are centrally symmetrical. The number of grooves 23 and protrusions 26 are equal and correspond one-to-one. Each groove 23 is adapted to the corresponding protrusion 26, and the two are snap-fitted together.
[0047] In addition, each slot plate 21 is fixedly provided with positioning beads. The number of positioning beads is equal to the number of positioning holes and they correspond one-to-one. Each positioning bead is engaged with the corresponding positioning hole.
[0048] With the connecting pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 14 aligned and fitted together, the third fixing plate 19 abuts against the connecting plate 20. Then, rotate the slot plate 21 so that the grooves 23 on the slot plate 21 engage with the corresponding protrusions 26. After the protrusions 26 and grooves 23 are engaged, the positioning ball also engages with the positioning hole, thus completing the fitting and limiting operation between the connecting pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 14. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the slot plate 21 in the opposite direction to release the engagement between the positioning ball and the positioning hole, allowing the protrusions 26 to disengage from the grooves 23.
[0049] The working principle of Example 2: The operator moves the waste heat recovery unit 10 near the boiler, so that the connecting pipe 11 and the flue pipe 14 are directly aligned and in contact. At this time, the third fixing plate 19 abuts against the connecting plate 20. Then, the slot plate 21 is rotated so that the grooves 23 on the slot plate 21 engage with the corresponding protrusions 26. After the protrusions 26 and the grooves 23 are engaged, the positioning ball also engages with the positioning hole, thereby completing the fitting and limiting operation of the connecting pipe 11 and the flue pipe 14.
[0050] When disassembly is required, simply rotate the slot plate 21 in the opposite direction to release the engagement between the positioning ball and the positioning hole, so that the protrusion 26 disengages from the groove 23.
[0051] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
