[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of gas-fired heating and hot water boilers, and more specifically, it relates to a flue gas condensation and recovery structure for a gas-fired heating and hot water boiler. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of gas-fired heating and hot water boilers, it is often necessary to use related structures to recover and utilize the heat from flue gas. For example, in the scenario of home winter heating, in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption, users often use gas-fired heating and hot water boilers. At this time, it is necessary to use equipment with a good flue gas condensation and recovery structure to achieve effective recovery of flue gas heat and provide heating and hot water supply.

[0003] In practical applications, traditional gas-fired heating and hot water boilers have poor recovery rates of waste heat from flue gas, leading to energy waste. Furthermore, in the flue gas treatment stage, the contact between the flue gas and the heat exchanger is insufficient, resulting in significant heat loss during continued use and increased energy consumption. This not only negatively impacts energy efficiency but also raises operating costs.

[0004] Based on the existing technology, it was found that the flue gas in traditional gas-fired heating and hot water boilers does not have sufficient contact with the heat exchanger, which easily leads to heat loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a flue gas condensation and recovery structure for a gas-fired heating and hot water boiler, thereby solving the technical problem of insufficient contact between the flue gas and the heat exchanger in traditional gas-fired heating and hot water boilers.

[0006] The purpose and effect of this utility model's flue gas condensation and recovery structure for a gas-fired heating hot water boiler are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0007] A flue gas condensation and recovery structure for a gas-fired heating hot water boiler includes an outer shell;

[0008] A burner is installed inside the outer casing. A first heat exchanger is installed on the burner. A first heat pipe passes through the first heat exchanger. A fixing edge is provided on the first heat exchanger. A tapered channel is installed on the first heat exchanger. A fixing sleeve is provided around the tapered channel. Multiple sets of fixing buckles are installed around the fixing sleeve. Multiple sets of fixing buckles are clamped on the fixing edge. A flow guide channel is provided on the tapered channel.

[0010] The above technical solution further includes: an angle α is formed between the central axis of the second heat exchanger and the central axis of the water inlet channel, α ∈ 10° to 30°, and multiple sets of guide rods are installed on the water inlet channel, with the bottom of the second heat exchanger connected to the multiple sets of guide rods.

[0011] The above technical solution further includes: both ends of the second heat pipe are equipped with connecting tees, one end of each of the two sets of connecting tees is connected to the first heat pipe, one end of one set of connecting tees is equipped with a water inlet pipe, and one end of the other set of connecting tees is equipped with a water outlet pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The use of a tapered channel and fixed clips allows users to stably connect components and optimize flue gas flow, improving the structural stability and flue gas heat exchange efficiency of the device. After installation, users can fix the position of the tapered channel by engaging the fixed clips with the first heat exchanger, preventing flue gas leakage and ensuring that the flue gas enters the guide channel more concentratedly and makes full contact with the second heat exchanger.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example:

[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0029] This utility model provides a flue gas condensation and recovery structure for a gas-fired heating and hot water boiler, including an outer shell 1, a burner 2 installed inside the outer shell 1, a first heat exchanger 3 installed on the burner 2, a first heat conduction pipe 4 passing through the first heat exchanger 3, a fixing edge 26 provided on the first heat exchanger 3, a tapering channel 5 installed on the first heat exchanger 3, a fixing sleeve 6 provided around the tapering channel 5, multiple sets of fixing buckles 7 installed around the fixing sleeve 6, multiple sets of fixing buckles 7 fastened on the fixing edge 26, a flow guide channel 8 provided on the tapering channel 5, a through groove opened on one side of the flow guide channel 8, a water inlet trough 9 welded into the through groove, and a second heat exchanger 11 provided on one side of the water inlet trough 9. A drain pipe 10 and a guide channel 8 house a second heat exchanger 11, with a second heat-conducting pipe 12 passing through it. A fan 13 is installed on the other side of the guide channel 8. A tapered channel 5 is installed on the first heat exchanger 3 via a fixing sleeve 6. The fixing clip 26 engages with the fixing buckle 7 to secure the tapered channel 5 to the first heat exchanger 3, preventing leakage due to loose components during flue gas flow. The tapered channel 5 allows the flue gas discharged from the first heat exchanger 3 to gradually narrow its cross-section during flow, increasing the flow velocity and allowing the flue gas to enter the guide channel 8 more concentratedly, ensuring full contact with the second heat exchanger 11. This structure makes it easier for the heat in the flue gas to be absorbed by the second heat-conducting pipe 12.

[0030] The air inlet of the fan 13 is connected to the flow channel 8, and the exhaust pipe 14 is installed on the air outlet of the fan 13. The fan 13 is powered by an external circuit. When the fan 13 operates, it drives the flow of flue gas in the flow channel 8. The flue gas is discharged to the outside of the outer casing 1 through the exhaust pipe 14.

[0031] Please refer to, for example Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the central axis of the second heat exchanger 11 forms an angle α with the central axis of the water inlet trough 9, where α ∈ 10° to 30°. Multiple sets of guide rods 15 are installed on the water inlet trough 9. The bottom of the second heat exchanger 11 is connected to the multiple sets of guide rods 15. Due to the angle of 10° to 30° between the second heat exchanger 11 and the water inlet trough 9, the condensate in the flue gas can flow along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger through the guide rods 15 to the water inlet trough 9, and then be discharged through the drain pipe 10.

[0032] Please refer to, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, both ends of the second heat pipe 12 are equipped with connecting tees 16. One end of each of the two sets of connecting tees 16 is connected to the first heat pipe 4. One end of one set of connecting tees 16 is equipped with a water inlet pipe 17, and one end of the other set of connecting tees 16 is equipped with a water outlet pipe 18. The water inlet pipe 17 is supplied with external water. Cold water enters the second heat pipe 12 and the first heat pipe 4, absorbs heat, becomes hot water, and then flows out through the water outlet pipe 18.

[0033] Please refer to, for example Figure 5 As shown, each of the two sets of connecting tees 16 has two sets of fixing seats 19 at the other end. Fixing blocks 20 are installed on the fixing seats 19. The fixing blocks 20 have threaded holes, and fixing screws 21 are inserted into the threaded holes. Fixing blocks are provided at the bottom of the fixing screws 21. The second heat pipe 12 has fixing edges at both ends, and fixing holes are provided on the fixing edges corresponding to the fixing blocks. The user can adjust the position of the fixing screws 21 in the threaded holes of the fixing blocks 20 to drive the fixing blocks into the fixing holes of the second heat pipe 12 to fix the connection between the second heat pipe 12 and the connecting tees 16.

[0034] Both sets of connecting tees 16 have sealing gaskets 23 installed at the other end; the sealing gaskets 23 are made of rubber and are used to fill the gap between the connecting tees 16 and the second heat pipe 12.

[0035] The outer casing 1 is equipped with a gas pipe interface 24, which is connected to the burner 2 via a pipe. The top of the outer casing 1 is equipped with a top cover 25. The gas pipe interface 24 is connected to an external gas line. The top cover 25 covers the top of the outer casing 1 to prevent dust or debris from falling into the device.

[0036] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0037] When using the device, the gas is connected to an external gas line through the gas pipe interface 24, and the gas enters the burner 2 for combustion. The high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion enters the first heat exchanger 3 and exchanges heat with the cold water in the first heat conduction pipe 4. The cold water absorbs some of the heat and its temperature rises.

[0038] The flue gas passing through the first heat exchanger 3 enters the converging channel 5, where the cross-section gradually narrows, increasing the flue gas velocity and concentrating it into the guide channel 8. At this point, the flue gas comes into contact with the second heat exchanger 11, and the second heat pipe 12 absorbs heat from the flue gas, further heating the water inside the pipe. The fan 13 operates, driving the flue gas flow within the guide channel 8, and the gas is discharged outside the outer casing 1 through the exhaust pipe 14.

[0039] Water vapor in the flue gas condenses into condensate on the surface of the second heat exchanger 11. Since the second heat exchanger 11 and the water inlet tank 9 are at an angle of 10° to 30°, the condensate flows into the water inlet tank 9 along the inclined surface through the guide rod 15 and is then discharged through the drain pipe 10.

[0040] Cold water enters the connecting tee 16 from the inlet pipe 17, and after being split, it flows into the first heat-conducting pipe 4 and the second heat-conducting pipe 12 respectively. After absorbing heat, it flows into another set of connecting tee 16, and finally flows out from the outlet pipe 18.

[0041] During installation, the fixing clips 7 on the fixing sleeve 6 engage with the fixing clip edge 26 of the first heat exchanger 3 to fix the position of the tapered channel 5. Adjust the position of the fixing screw 21 within the threaded hole of the fixing block 20 so that the fixing block engages with the fixing hole on the fixing edge of the second heat pipe 12. The sealing gasket 23 fills any gaps, ensuring a tight connection between the connecting tee 16 and the second heat pipe 12. The top cover 25 of the outer casing 1 covers the top to prevent dust or debris from falling into the interior, ensuring stable operation of the device.

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
