Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-NOx burner technology, and in particular to a low-NOx burner with automatic air volume adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] A low-NOx burner is a combustion device designed to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides are a class of harmful gases, mainly generated by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures during combustion. They have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Low-NOx burners achieve environmental protection by optimizing the combustion process, lowering the combustion temperature, and reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides.

[0003] When using a low-NOx burner, the amount of air entering through the air inlet is controlled, thereby controlling the ratio of fuel to air inside the burner, reducing the use of excess air, lowering the combustion temperature, and thus reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides, which plays an environmental protection role.

[0004] When using existing low-NOx burners, if there is a fuel switch or a change in fuel supply, the air volume needs to be adjusted to maintain the optimal air-fuel ratio. However, existing low-NOx burners usually require manual adjustment by workers, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a low-NOx burner with automatic air volume adjustment, including a burner body 1, a base plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the burner body 1, an air inlet pipe 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 4, a fixing box 3 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2, an adjustment component 5 disposed inside the fixing box 3, and a rectifier component 6 disposed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 5 includes several rotating rods 503 that are interspersed inside the air inlet pipe 2. A fixed plate 502 is movably connected to one end of the rotating rod 503 near the inside of the air inlet pipe 2. An adjustment plate 501 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 503. A transmission gear 504 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 503 away from the air inlet pipe 2. A gear ring 509 that cooperates with the transmission gear 504 is movably connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2.

[0030] Specifically, a motor 505 is fixedly connected inside the fixed box 3. A worm gear 506 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 505. A transmission rod 507 is movably connected between the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2 and the inner wall of the fixed box 3. A transmission gear 504 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the end of the transmission rod 507 near the gear ring 509. A worm wheel 508 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission rod 507. The worm gear 506 and the worm wheel 508 are meshed together. By utilizing the unidirectional transmission characteristic of the worm wheel 508 and the worm gear 506, the adjusting plate 501 is locked, preventing the adjusting plate 501 from rotating due to strong winds.

[0031] Specifically, the inner side of the toothed ring 509 is provided with an annular protrusion, and the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2 is provided with an annular groove that cooperates with the annular protrusion. The toothed ring 509 rotates on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2 through the cooperation of the annular protrusion and the annular groove. The cooperation of the annular protrusion and the annular groove realizes the limiting of the toothed ring 509, prevents the toothed ring 509 from tilting, and ensures the stability of the rotation of the toothed ring 509.

[0032] Specifically, when the regulating plate 501 is in a horizontal state, the mutual abutment between several regulating plates 501 can seal the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 2. By limiting the size of the regulating plate 501, it is ensured that the regulating plate 501 can completely seal the air inlet pipe.

[0033] Furthermore, the worm gear 506 is rotated by the motor 505. The worm gear 506, in conjunction with the worm wheel 508, drives the transmission rod 507 to rotate. The transmission gear 504 on the outer surface of the transmission rod 507 drives the gear ring 509 to rotate. In turn, the gear ring 509 drives the transmission gear 504 at one end of the rotating rod 503 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 503 then drives the adjusting plate 501 to rotate, thereby controlling the size of the gap in the air inlet pipe 2 opened by the adjusting plate 501 and adjusting the air intake volume. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment, making it convenient and quick.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The rectifier assembly 6 includes a baffle 601 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2. An insert 604 is inserted inside the air inlet pipe 2. Several partitions 603 are provided inside the insert 604. External threaded cylinders 605 are movably connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2 above and below the insert 604. Threaded sleeves 606 are meshed with the outer surfaces of the two external threaded cylinders 605.

[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the air inlet pipe 2 is provided with an inlet, the inner wall of the inlet is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the outer surface of the insert 604 is provided with a groove that matches the limiting protrusion. Through the cooperation of the inlet, the limiting protrusion and the groove, the insertion of the limiting insert 604 is realized, ensuring that the insert 604 can be inserted into the air inlet pipe at the correct angle, and avoiding the insertion 604 tilting, which would affect the air intake.

[0037] Specifically, the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 2 is provided with a groove for the movement of the external threaded cylinder 605. A limiting strip 602 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. The end of the external threaded cylinder 605 near the insert 604 is provided with an opening that cooperates with the limiting strip 602. A flexible strip is provided at the end of the external threaded cylinder 605 near the insert 604. By cooperating with the opening on the outer surface of the external threaded cylinder 605, the external threaded cylinder 605 is limited, preventing the external threaded cylinder 605 from rotating with the rotation of the threaded sleeve 606. The flexible strip improves the sealing performance of the contact between the external threaded cylinder 605 and the insert 604, preventing air leakage.

[0038] Furthermore, the internal baffle 603 of the insert 604 eliminates intake turbulence and ensures uniform airflow distribution, thereby reducing flame pulsation and improving combustion stability. After use, the threaded sleeve 606 is rotated in the reverse direction, causing the external threaded cylinder 605 to move. This releases the external threaded cylinder 605 from the compression of the insert 604, allowing the insert 604 to be removed from its limiting position and thus extracted from the air inlet pipe 2. This facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the internal baffle 603 of the insert 604, preventing buildup from long-term use. Carbon increases airflow resistance. To avoid affecting burner efficiency, the upper threaded sleeve 606 is limited by the cooperation of the fixed box 3 and the stop block 601, preventing it from moving vertically. The lower threaded sleeve 606 is limited by the cooperation of the base plate 4 and the stop block 601. This prevents the threaded sleeve 606 from moving longitudinally and causing the outer threaded cylinder 605 to move. Several baffles 603 form a honeycomb structure inside the insert 604, which helps the air to flow in evenly after passing through the honeycomb gaps.

[0039] Working Principle: When using the low-NOx burner, the airflow is adjusted according to the type and amount of fuel used. Motor 505 controls the rotation of worm gear 506. The worm gear 506, in conjunction with worm wheel 508, drives transmission rod 507. Transmission gear 504 on the outer surface of transmission rod 507 drives gear ring 509, which in turn drives transmission gear 504 at one end of rotating rod 503. This rotation of rotating rod 503 then drives adjusting plate 501, thus controlling the opening size of the air inlet pipe 2 and adjusting the airflow. No manual adjustment is required, making it convenient and quick. Air enters through the baffle 603 inside the insert 604. The airflow enters the burner, and through the internal baffle 603 of the insert 604, intake turbulence is eliminated, ensuring uniform distribution of the incoming airflow, thereby reducing flame pulsation and improving combustion stability. After the burner is used, the threaded sleeve 606 is rotated in the reverse direction, which drives the external threaded cylinder 605 to move. This releases the external threaded cylinder 605 from the compression of the insert 604, thus removing the compression limit from the insert 604. This allows the insert 604 to be pulled out from the inside of the air inlet pipe 2, facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the baffle 603 inside the insert 604. This prevents carbon buildup caused by long-term use, which increases airflow resistance and affects burner efficiency, ultimately completing the use of the low-NOx burner.
