Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an energy-efficient steam generator to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an energy-saving steam generator provided by this utility model includes a shell 1, a furnace body 2 fixed inside the shell 1, a heat exchange coil 16 fixed inside the furnace body 2, a burner 4 fixed at the top of the furnace body 2, the bottom end of the burner 4 extending into the interior of the heat exchange coil 16, a fan 5 installed at the top of the burner 4, the outlet of the fan 5 communicating with the inlet of the burner 4, a fixed shell 6 installed at the inlet of the fan 5, a one-way valve 13 installed on the outer wall of the fixed shell 6 away from the fan 5, and a solenoid valve 7 fixed on the inner wall of the top of the shell 1, the outlet of the solenoid valve 7 being connected to the fixed shell 6.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the furnace includes an outer shell 1, inside which a furnace body 2 is fixed. The furnace body 2 is cylindrical in shape, and a heat exchange coil 16 is fixed inside the furnace body 2. The heat exchange coil 16 is a high-efficiency finned coil with multi-turn spiral winding, which is a technology known for its high heat exchange performance. A burner 4 is fixed at the top of the furnace body 2, and the bottom end of the burner 4 extends into the interior of the heat exchange coil 16. A fan 5 is installed at the top of the burner 4, and the outlet of the fan 5 is connected to the inlet of the burner 4. A fixed shell 6 is installed at the inlet of the fan 5, and a one-way valve 13 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed shell 6 on the side away from the fan 5. A solenoid valve 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the outer shell 1. The inlet of the solenoid valve 7 is connected to the gas pipeline, and the outlet of the solenoid valve 7 is connected to the fixed shell 6. The gas and oxygen are fully premixed inside the fan 5 through its blades to ensure complete combustion. This solves the problems of incomplete combustion generating harmful gases and insufficient utilization of gas.

[0024] This utility model provides an energy-saving steam generator. A fixed shell 6 is installed at the air inlet of the blower 5, and a solenoid valve 7 for controlling the gas is connected to the fixed shell 6. This allows the blower 5 to premix the gas and air before sending them into the burner 4. This not only achieves complete combustion of the gas, but also reduces the emission of harmful gases, making the steam generator more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly during use.

[0025] In another embodiment of this utility model, a filter assembly 14 is fixed on one inner wall of the outer shell 1. The air outlet of the filter assembly 14 is connected to a one-way valve 13. An air inlet window 17 adapted to the filter assembly 14 is provided on one outer wall of the outer shell 1. When the fan 5 is working, the external air enters the filter assembly 14 through the air inlet window 17 for filtration, and is then sucked into the fixed shell 6 and enters the interior of the fan 5. A switch door 11 is connected to one outer wall of the outer shell 1 by a hinge. The switch door 11 facilitates maintenance. The side wall of the outer shell 1 has evenly distributed heat dissipation holes 12, which facilitate heat dissipation. The outer wall of the furnace body 2 is provided with a heat insulation layer 8, which is made of a high-temperature resistant heat insulation material, such as rock wool, which can insulate the outer wall of the furnace body 2 and reduce the loss of internal heat.

[0026] In another embodiment of this utility model, a heat recovery component 3 is fixed inside the outer shell 1. The heat recovery component 3 is a prior art technology and has a heat exchange tube inside. Specifically, water is introduced into the heat exchange tube of the heat recovery component 3, and then high-temperature flue gas also passes through the outside of the heat exchange tube of the heat recovery component 3, so that the water can recover the heat in the high-temperature flue gas. The outlet of the heat recovery component 3 is connected to the exhaust pipe 10, which extends to the outside of the outer shell 1. After heat recovery, the flue gas becomes low-temperature flue gas and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 10. The inlet of the heat recovery component 3 is connected to the furnace body 2. The outer wall of the heat recovery component 3 is provided with a second insulation layer 9, which is also made of high-temperature resistant material. It can keep the outer wall of the heat recovery component 3 warm and reduce the loss of internal heat. By recovering the heat in the flue gas through the heat recovery component 3, the water can be preheated before entering the heat exchange coil 16, thereby reducing the energy required for the water inside the heat exchange coil 16 to boil, and further realizing the energy-saving effect of the steam generator.

[0027] In another embodiment of this utility model, a steam outlet pipe 15 and a water inlet pipe 25 are fixed on one side of the outer wall of the outer shell 1. The water inlet pipe 25 is connected to the outlet of the water pump. One end of the heat exchange coil 16 is connected to the steam outlet pipe 15, and steam flows out from the steam outlet pipe 15. The other end of the heat exchange coil 16 is connected to the outlet of the heat recovery component 3. Water flowing out from the heat recovery component 3 enters the heat exchange coil 16. The inlet of the heat recovery component 3 is connected to the water inlet pipe 25, so that the water pump can deliver water to the interior of the heat recovery component 3. This utility model combines fully premixed combustion, multi-turn finned tube high-efficiency heat conversion, and condensation preheating recovery, thereby achieving high thermal utilization efficiency and energy-saving and environmentally friendly effects of the steam generator.

[0028] In another embodiment of this utility model, the filter assembly 14 includes a filter housing 23, with a connecting frame 18 inserted inside the filter housing 23. A filter element 19 is fixed inside the connecting frame 18, and the filter element 19 is used to filter dust in the air. The top and bottom of the connecting frame 18 are provided with hair strips 24 fixed inside the filter housing 23. The hair strips 24 can seal the upper and lower edges of the connecting frame 18, allowing the air to be fully filtered. A baffle 20 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the connecting frame 18. The side wall of the baffle 20 has a handle. A magnetic block 21 is fixed on one side of the outer wall of the baffle 20, and an iron block 22 is embedded in the outer wall of the filter shell 23. The magnetic block 21 and the iron block 22 are attracted to each other. The attraction between the magnetic block 21 and the iron block 22 makes the baffle 20 and the filter shell 23 stable. The filter element 19 can filter the air entering the burner 4, which can prevent the burner 4 from being blocked and reduce the ash generated on the outer wall of the heat exchange coil 16. At the same time, the plug frame 18 can be pulled out from the inside of the filter shell 23, making the filter element 19 more convenient to maintain.

[0029] Working principle: During use, water is introduced into the inlet pipe 25 at a fixed flow rate. The water then enters the heat recovery assembly 3 and then the heat exchange coil 16. Next, the gas is connected to the inlet of the solenoid valve 7. When the solenoid valve 7 opens, the gas enters the fixed housing 6. Simultaneously, the fan 5 draws in air from the air inlet 17. The blades of the fan 5 mix the air and gas, which is then delivered to the burner 4. The ignition device then ignites the gas flowing from the burner 4, allowing the flame to heat the water inside the heat exchange coil 16 into steam. The flue gas produced by the combustion of steam and gas enters the heat recovery component 3, allowing the water in the heat recovery component 3 to recover the heat from the flue gas. This ensures that the water flowing from the heat recovery component 3 into the heat exchange coil 16 is hot water, thus requiring less energy to heat the water inside the heat exchange coil 16 to boiling. The filter element 19 inside the filter component 14 can filter dust from the air. When the filter element 19 needs to be cleaned, the steam generator is in a stopped state. Open the switch door 11, and then pull the plug frame 18 directly out from inside the filter shell 23 to easily clean the filter element 19.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
