DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following detailed description is only used to further illustrate the application and cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the application according to the above application content.

[0032] The description is accompanied by Figures 1-12 A hot water machine exchanger, from top to bottom, is sequentially provided with a burner 1, a main heat exchanger 2, at least one intermediate condenser 3, and a final condenser 4.

[0033] In the embodiment, the main heat exchanger 2 comprises two water mixing boxes one 21, a plurality of finned tubes one 22 are installed and communicated between the two water mixing boxes one 21, and the two water mixing boxes one 21 are respectively provided with a water outlet one 24 and a water inlet one 23.

[0034] In the embodiment, the intermediate condenser 3 comprises two water mixing boxes two 31, a plurality of finned tubes two 32 are installed and communicated between the two water mixing boxes two 31, and the two water mixing boxes two 31 are respectively provided with a water outlet two 34 and a water inlet two 33.

[0035] In the embodiment, the final condenser 4 comprises two water mixing boxes three 41, a plurality of finned tubes three 42 are installed and communicated between the two water mixing boxes three 41, and the two water mixing boxes three 41 are respectively provided with a water inlet three 44 and a water outlet three 43.

[0036] Among them, the outlet 3 43 is connected to the adjacent inlet 2 33 above, and the outlet 2 34 is connected to the adjacent inlet 1 23 above. In the two adjacent intermediate condensers 3, the inlet 2 33 of the upper intermediate condenser 3 is connected to the outlet 2 34 of the lower intermediate condenser 3.

[0037] Furthermore, a water collection tank 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the final condenser 4, and a water outlet 51 is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 5. A flue gas outlet 52 is provided on one side of the water collection tank 5.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outlet 24 is located on one side of the mixing box 21, and the inlet 23 is located below the mixing box 21. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, outlet 2 34 is located above mixing box 2 31, and inlet 2 33 is located below mixing box 2 31, as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the inlet 344 is located on one side of the mixing box 341, and the outlet 343 is located above the mixing box 341.

[0039] In this embodiment, the specific implementation method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, there are two intermediate condensers 3. The condensate enters the interior of one of the mixing boxes 3 41 from the inlet 3 44, then enters the interior of the other mixing box 3 41 through the finned tube 3 42, and then enters the interior of the mixing box 3 31 from the outlet 3 43 on the mixing box 3 41 through the inlet 2 33, that is, it flows into the interior of the intermediate condenser 3 located below. Then, the condensate flows from mixing box 2 31 through finned tube 2 32 into the interior of another mixing box 2 31, and then from the outlet 2 34 on this mixing box 2 31 upwards through the inlet 2 33 into the interior of the upper mixing box 2 31, which is to say, it flows into the interior of the upper intermediate condenser 3. Similarly, the condensate then flows from mixing box 2 31 through finned tube 2 32 into the interior of another mixing box 2 31, and then from the outlet 2 34 on this mixing box 2 31 upwards through the inlet 1 23 into the interior of mixing box 1 21, and then from mixing box 1 21 through finned tube 1 22 into another mixing box 1 21, and then flows out from the outlet 1 24 on this mixing box 1 21. In other words, the condensate flows in from the inlet 3 44 of the lowest final condenser 4, flows through the two intermediate condensers 3 and the main heat exchanger 2 in sequence, and then flows out from the outlet 1 24. The same principle applies when there is one, three, four or even more intermediate condensers 3.

[0040] After the mixture of fuel gas and air is burned in burner 1, the flue gas flows downwards, passing sequentially through the main heat exchanger 2, the intermediate condenser 3, and the final condenser 4, and is finally discharged from the exhaust port 52. The condensate produced during the downward flow of the flue gas is discharged from the water outlet 51. During this process, finned tube 1 22, finned tube 2 32, and finned tube 3 42 absorb heat, thereby heating the condensate.

[0041] The above technical solution, by setting up mixing box 1 21, mixing box 2 31 and mixing box 3 41, allows condensate to flow inside them. The side of mixing box 1 21, mixing box 2 31 and mixing box 3 41 that is close to the gas combustion can also absorb heat, so the heat absorption is not limited to the finned tube, and the heat utilization rate is higher.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figures 4-9 As shown, cooling water pipes 25 are provided and connected to both sides between the two mixing boxes 21, and finned tube 22 is located between the two cooling water pipes 25; cooling water pipes 35 are provided and connected to both sides between the two mixing boxes 31, and finned tube 32 is located between the two cooling water pipes 35; cooling water pipes 45 are provided and connected to both sides between the two mixing boxes 21, and finned tube 42 is located between the two cooling water pipes 45.

[0043] It should be noted that the water in mixing box 1 21 can flow into another mixing box 1 21 through cooling water pipe 1 25, the water in mixing box 2 31 can flow into another mixing box 2 31 through cooling water pipe 2 35, and the water in mixing box 3 41 can flow into another mixing box 3 41 through cooling water pipe 3 45. The side of cooling water pipe 1 25, cooling water pipe 2 35, and cooling water pipe 3 45 that is close to the combustion of the gas can also absorb heat, thereby further improving the heat utilization rate, and there is no need to install heat insulation components at the location of the cooling water pipes to prevent heat loss.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a flow equalization plate 26 is installed at the bottom between two cooling water pipes 25, a flow equalization plate 36 is installed at the bottom between two cooling water pipes 35, and a flow equalization plate 46 is installed at the bottom between two cooling water pipes 45.

[0045] It should be noted that the flow equalization plate 26, flow equalization plate 36 and flow equalization plate 46 can make the downward flowing flue gas evenly distributed, which is more conducive to the absorption of the corresponding finned tube.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 10As shown, the mixing box 21 includes a box body 211 and an end plate 212. The end plate 212 is provided with a number of pipe openings 2121. The ends of a number of finned tubes 22 are inserted into the pipe openings 2121. Both ends of the end plate 212 are provided with pipe openings 2122. The ends of cooling water pipes 25 are inserted into the pipe openings 2122.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the box body 211 is provided with a female opening 2111 on the side near the end plate 212, and the end plate 212 is provided with a male opening 2124 and a sealing groove 2123 on the side near the box body 211. A sealing ring 213 is provided in the sealing groove 2123, and the male opening 2124 is locked in the female opening 2111.

[0048] It should be noted that when installing the box body 211 and the end plate 212, first place the sealing ring 213 into the sealing groove 2123, then close the box body 211 and the end plate 212, insert the female opening 2124 into the female opening 2111, and then tighten the box body 211 and the end plate 212 with screws to achieve the installation and sealing of both.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, a sealing groove 2125 is provided inside the pipe opening 2121, and a sealing ring 216 is provided inside the sealing groove 2125. The sealing ring 216 is used to seal the end plate 212 and the finned tube 22. A clamping nut 214 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the pipe opening 2121. The clamping nut 214 has an open structure at both ends. A sealing ring 215 is provided at the inner end of the clamping nut 214. The sealing ring 215 is used to seal the clamping nut 214 and the finned tube 22.

[0050] It should be noted that when installing finned tube 22, first place sealing ring 216 in the position of sealing groove 2125, then insert finned tube 22 into pipe opening 2121, then press sealing ring 215 into the inside of clamping nut 214, and then thread clamping nut 214 onto the outside of pipe opening 2121 to press the end of finned tube 22, thereby achieving the installation positioning and sealing of finned tube 22.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 12 As shown, a sealing groove 2126 is provided on the pipe opening 2122, and a sealing ring 217 is provided on the sealing groove 2126. The sealing ring 217 is used to seal the pipe opening 2122 and the cooling water pipe 25.

[0052] It should be noted that when installing cooling water pipe 25, first put sealing ring 217 on sealing groove 2126, and then put cooling water pipe 25 on pipe opening 2122 to achieve the installation and sealing of cooling water pipe 25.

[0053] In this embodiment, the structures of mixing box 2 31 and mixing box 3 41 can be designed as those of mixing box 1 21. The installation of finned tube 2 32 and mixing box 2 31, and finned tube 3 42 and mixing box 3 41, can both adopt the installation method of finned tube 1 22 and mixing box 1 21. Similarly, the installation of cooling water pipe 2 35 and mixing box 2 31, and cooling water pipe 3 45 and mixing box 3 41, can both adopt the installation method of cooling water pipe 1 25 and mixing box 1 21. With the above-mentioned disassembly and assembly structure, if the finned tube or cooling water pipe is damaged, it can be easily replaced.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the burner 1 includes a housing 11, which is fixedly installed on the top of the main heat exchanger 2. A combustion mesh 13 is installed at the bottom of the housing 11. An upper flow equalization plate 14 is installed inside the housing 11. A heat insulation plate 15 is installed around the housing 11. A premixer 12 is connected to one end of the housing 11. The premixer 12 is used to send a mixture of fuel gas and air into the housing 11.

[0055] It should be noted that the premixer 12 adopts the existing technology structure, which mainly consists of a fan 121, a venturi 122 and a gas valve 123. The gas enters the fan 121 through the gas valve 123 and the venturi 122. After mixing with air in the fan 121, it enters the outer casing 11. An ignition needle 201 and a flame sensor 202 are installed on the side wall of the mixing box 21, that is, on one of the cooling water pipes 25. The ignition needle 201 ignites the gas, causing it to burn. The flame sensor 202 senses the high temperature of the flame and generates an electrical signal. The electrical signal is then transmitted to the control system. Once the sensing needle senses an abnormality in the flame, the control system will receive this signal and trigger the automatic intake shut-off mechanism.

[0056] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
