[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a heat exchange device for a gas-fired steam oven. The heat exchange device for the gas-fired steam oven includes a steam oven 1, and a gas heat exchange mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the steam oven 1.

[0030] The gas heat exchange mechanism 2 includes a gas assembly 21, which includes a gas box 211. The bottom of the gas box 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the steam box 1. A gas injector 212 is fixedly installed on the right side of the gas box 211, and a steam box 213 is fixedly installed on the top of the gas box 211.

[0031] The gas injector 212 can ignite natural gas, and then the flame burns in the gas tank 211, and the heat is transferred to the steam tank 213.

[0032] The gas assembly 21 also includes a water tank 214, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the interior of the steam oven 1, and a preheating box 215 is fixedly installed on the right side of the water tank 214.

[0033] The gas heat exchange mechanism 2 also includes a circulation component 22, which includes a water pump 221. The bottom of the water pump 221 is fixedly connected to the top of the preheating box 215. The top of the water pump 221 is connected to a connecting pipe 222. A valve 223 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 222. The top of the valve 223 is connected to the top of the water tank 214 through a water inlet pipe 224. The front end of the valve 223 is connected to the right side of the steam box 213 through a water injection pipe 225.

[0034] The circulation assembly 22 also includes a connecting pipe 226, one end of which is connected to the right side of the water pump 221, and the other end of which is connected to the top of the preheating box 215.

[0035] The gas heat exchange mechanism 2 also includes a heat exchange component 23, which includes a heat exchange tube 231. One end of the heat exchange tube 231 is connected to the outer surface of the gas box 211, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 231 passes through the steam box 213 and extends to the outside of the steam box 213. The right end of the heat exchange tube 231 is connected to a collection network 232.

[0036] The heat exchange assembly 23 also includes a protective box 233. The left side of the protective box 233 is fixedly connected to the steam box 213. An exhaust pipe 234 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protective box 233. One end of the exhaust pipe 234 is connected to the outer surface of the collecting pipe network 232. The other end of the exhaust pipe 234 passes through the preheating box 215 and the steam box 1 and extends to the outside of the steam box 1.

[0037] During use, the gas injector 212 ignites the natural gas, and the flame heats the steam box 213. The hot gas from the combustion of natural gas enters the heat exchange tube 231 to reheat the steam box 213. Then, it is concentrated in the exhaust pipe 234 through the collecting pipe network 232. The heat in the exhaust pipe 234 preheats the water in the preheating box 215 before being discharged. When the water level in the steam box 213 drops to a certain level, the water pump 221 injects the warm water from the preheating box 215 into the steam box 213 through the connecting pipe 226 from the water injection pipe 225.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figures 3-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a descaling mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the steam box 213. The descaling mechanism 3 includes a drive box 31. The back of the drive box 31 is fixedly connected to the front of the steam box 213. A motor 32 is fixedly installed on the right side of the drive box 31 through a fixing bracket. A threaded shaft 33 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 32 through a reducer. The left end of the threaded shaft 33 passes through the drive box 31 and extends into the interior of the drive box 31.

[0040] Motor 32 is electrically connected to an external power source and is connected to an external PLC programming program.

[0041] The descaling mechanism 3 also includes a movable block 34, the inner surface of which is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded shaft 33, and a strong magnetic block 35 is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the movable block 34.

[0042] The descaling mechanism 3 also includes a rotating rod 36, the two ends of which are movably connected to the inner surface of the steam box 213. A scraper 37 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 36, and a scraping groove 38 is opened on the outer surface of the scraper 37. A second strong magnetic block 39 is fixedly installed at the front end of the rotating rod 36.

[0043] The inner surface of the steam box 213 is provided with a slanted groove 4.

[0044] During operation, the motor 32 drives the threaded shaft 33 to rotate. The threaded shaft 33 moves the first strong magnetic block 35 through the moving block 34. The first strong magnetic block 35 moves the rotating rod 36 through the second strong magnetic block 39. The rotating rod 36 moves the scraper 37. The scraper 37 scrapes off the scale on the inner surface of the steam box 213. During the movement of the scraper 37, the scraper groove 38 cleans the scale on the surface of the heat exchange tube 231. When the scraper 37 moves to the leftmost or rightmost position, the rotating rod 36 moves into the inclined groove 4. The scraper 37 touches the inclined groove 4 and flips, changing the top direction of the scraper 37. Then the motor 32 drives the threaded shaft 33 to reverse, causing the scraper 37 to move back and forth to remove the scale.

[0045] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0046] Based on embodiments 1-5, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: The gas injector 212 inside the steam chamber 1 ignites natural gas, and the flame heats the steam chamber 213. The hot gas from the combustion of natural gas enters the heat exchange tube 231, further heating the steam chamber 213. Then, it is concentrated into the exhaust pipe 234 through the collecting pipe network 232. The heat in the exhaust pipe 234 preheats the water in the preheating chamber 215 before being discharged. When the water level in the steam chamber 213 drops to a certain level, the water pump 221 injects warm water from the preheating chamber 215 into the steam chamber 213 through the connecting pipe 226 via the water injection pipe 225. Then, the motor 32 drives the screw... The threaded shaft 33 rotates, and the threaded shaft 33 drives the first strong magnetic block 35 to move through the moving block 34. The first strong magnetic block 35 drives the rotating rod 36 to move through the second strong magnetic block 39. The rotating rod 36 drives the scraper 37 to move. The scraper 37 scrapes off the scale on the inner surface of the steam box 213. During the movement of the scraper 37, the scraper groove 38 cleans the scale on the surface of the heat exchange tube 231. When the scraper 37 moves to the leftmost or rightmost position, the rotating rod 36 moves into the inclined groove 4. The scraper 37 touches the inclined groove 4 and flips, changing the top direction of the scraper 37. Then the motor 32 drives the threaded shaft 33 to reverse, so that the scraper 37 moves back and forth to remove the scale.

[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
