[0026] To avoid excessive and unnecessary details, well-known structures or functions will not be described in detail in the following embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a low-NOx gas burner according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] In this embodiment, a burner housing 1 and a burner head 2 located at the front end of the burner housing 1 are included. One end of the burner head 2 has an air inlet 3 for receiving combustion air. A premixer 4 is located inside the burner head 2 for mixing the combustion air and fuel gas. The premixer 4 includes a first sleeve 5 and a second sleeve 6 arranged coaxially in a ring. Both sleeves 5 and 6 are cylindrical structures. A premixing chamber 7 is formed between the first sleeve 5 and the second sleeve 6. The premixing chamber 7 is used for the first premixing of the fuel gas and combustion air. Several swirl vanes 8 are evenly distributed along the center of the outer side of the first sleeve 5 near the air inlet 3. When the combustion air passes through the swirl vanes 8, it is... 8. The combustion air is rotated and guided, causing the combustion air to rotate and mix with the gas. A premixing chamber 9 is provided inside the sleeve 5, which is used for a second premixing of the gas and combustion air. Several swirl vanes 10 are evenly distributed along the center of the inner side of the sleeve 6 near the air inlet 3. When the combustion air passes through the swirl vanes 8, the swirl vanes 8 rotate and guide the combustion air, causing the combustion air to rotate and mix with the gas. Several air outlets 11 and 12 are evenly distributed along the center of the surface of the sleeve 5 and the sleeve 6, respectively. The premixing chamber 9 is connected to the premixing chamber 7 through the air outlets 12. The bottom of the sleeve 5 is provided with... The device has an air inlet 13. Several swirl vanes 8 are inclined in the same direction along the center of sleeve 5, and several swirl vanes 10 are inclined in the same direction along the center of sleeve 6. The inclination angles of the swirl vanes 8 and 10 are opposite. In use, combustion air enters the burner head through the air inlet 3. As the combustion air passes through the swirl vanes 8 and 10, their inclination angles guide the air, causing it to rotate and agitate the combustion gas, thus completing the mixing. Because the inclination angles of the swirl vanes 8 and 10 are opposite, the combustion gas in premixing chamber 7 and premixing chamber 9 are mixed. The combustion air is rotated and stirred in opposite directions, resulting in more intense stirring and more uniform and thorough mixing. The premixed gas and combustion air are discharged to the front end of the burner head 2 through the end of the premixing chamber 2 9 away from the swirl blade 2 10 and the outlet 11. By placing the premixer 4 inside the burner head 2, gas diffusion and leakage during premixing are avoided. The premixing chamber 1 7 and the premixing chamber 2 9 of the premixer 4 perform double premixing of the gas and combustion air, resulting in better premixing effect. Furthermore, by setting the swirl blade 1 8 and the swirl blade 2 10 in opposite directions, the combustion air and gas rotate and stir in both directions, resulting in more uniform premixing and more complete combustion during combustion, thereby reducing the content of nitrogen oxides.

[0029] In this embodiment, the burner housing 1 is provided with an air supply chamber 14 inside, and the air inlet 3 is connected to the air supply chamber 14. This structure realizes the communication effect between the burner housing 1 and the burner head 2, so that the combustion air can smoothly enter the burner head 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a fan wheel 15 is provided inside the air supply chamber 14, and a motor 16 is provided on one side of the air supply chamber 14. The fan wheel 15 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 16. The motor 16 drives the fan wheel 15 to rotate, and sends the air (combustion air) in the air supply chamber 14 to the air inlet 3 of the burner head 2 (this structure is a conventional method in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail).

[0031] In this embodiment, an air inlet chamber 17 is provided at the bottom front end of the burner housing 1. The air inlet chamber 17 is connected to the air supply chamber 14. Outside air enters the air supply chamber 14 through the air inlet chamber 17. A filter plate 18 is detachably provided at the front end of the air inlet chamber 17. The filter plate 18 is used to filter the air and prevent dust and water molecules in the air from entering the air inlet chamber 17 (this structure is a conventional method in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail).

[0032] In this embodiment, a flame arrester 19 is provided at the end of the burner head 2 opposite to the air inlet 3. A flame stabilizing disc 20 is provided at the front end of the flame arrester 19, and an igniter 21 is provided at the front end of the flame stabilizing disc 20. The flame stabilizing disc 20 is mainly used to stabilize the flame, optimize combustion efficiency, and control the flame shape. High-speed airflow may extinguish the flame (flame detachment) or cause the flame to backfire into the burner (backfire). The flame stabilizing disc 20 reduces the local airflow velocity through physical structures (such as vent holes and swirl vanes), forming a low-speed backflow zone, so that the flame root is always anchored near the disc surface. The vortex zone behind the flame stabilizing disc 20 can retain high-temperature combustion products, continuously ignite fresh mixture, and maintain flame stability. The igniter 21 is mainly used for ignition (this structure is a conventional method in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail).

[0033] In this embodiment, the flame stabilizing disk 20 has a plurality of flame holes 22 on its surface. The plurality of flame holes 22 are arranged in a dense or sparse manner along the center of the flame stabilizing disk 20. When the flame holes 22 are densely arranged, the flame jet is long and thin. When the flame holes 22 are sparsely arranged, the flame jet is short and thick. (Principle: 1. Dense flame holes: Dense flame holes will divide the airflow into more small streams, each with a smaller cross-sectional area. According to the law of conservation of mass (Q=A⋅v), when the total flow rate is constant, the reduction of the area of ​​a single hole will lead to an increase in the airflow velocity (vv). High-speed airflow can penetrate a greater distance, forming a longer flame. Dense small holes increase the contact area between the airflow and the surrounding air (enhanced turbulent mixing), and the fuel and air are mixed more thoroughly. The combustion reaction speed of a thoroughly mixed airflow is faster, but the flame length is extended due to the inertia of the high-speed airflow, forming a slender flame shape. There is less interference between multiple small flames, and the flames are not easy to merge, exhibiting a uniform and slender characteristic. 2.) Sparse flame orifice configuration: Sparse flame orifices result in a larger individual orifice area and a lower exhaust velocity (vv). The low-velocity airflow is easily slowed by surrounding air resistance, making it difficult for the flame to extend and resulting in a shorter flame. The large-aperture airflow has lower mixing efficiency with air (weaker turbulence), and the combustion reaction is concentrated near the nozzle, resulting in a thicker flame front. Incompletely mixed fuel may burn on the periphery of the flame, forming a diffuse flame characteristic (thick and short). Sparse flames are more likely to attract and merge after ejection, forming a larger flame cluster, further exacerbating the thick and short flame shape.

[0034] In this embodiment, the burner head 2 is provided with a gas interface 23 at the bottom. The air inlet 13 is connected to the gas interface 23. The gas interface 23 is used to connect to the gas pipeline. The gas enters the air inlet 13 through the gas interface 23 and enters the premixing chamber 7 through the air inlet 13 for the first premixing.

[0035] The low-NOx gas burner of this utility model can be installed, connected, or set in a common mechanical manner, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effects.

[0036] All technologies not described in detail in this utility model are known technologies. Those skilled in the art can easily implement this utility model based on their understanding of this specification, and the contents shown in the accompanying drawings are part of this specification.

[0037] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
