Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler technology, and more specifically, to an energy-saving small household boiler. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous growth of energy demand and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the energy-saving and environmental performance of household heating and domestic hot water supply systems has received widespread attention. Currently, small household boilers (such as gas-fired wall-hung boilers) are widely used in residential heating. Their core working principle is to generate high-temperature flue gas in the combustion chamber by burning fuels such as natural gas, and then use a heat exchanger to transfer heat to circulating water, thereby providing a heat source for radiators or underfloor heating systems.
[0003] However, the thermal efficiency of traditional household boilers is generally limited, mainly because the flue gas produced during combustion contains a large amount of unused waste heat. This heat energy is directly emitted into the atmosphere, resulting in energy waste and increased operating costs. In addition, the combustion process requires the continuous introduction of external air to assist combustion, but traditional air intake methods do not preheat the cold air, leading to reduced combustion efficiency, increased fuel consumption, and impacting overall energy-saving performance.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 In this utility model, an energy-saving household boiler includes a wall-mounted boiler body 1 and a combustion chamber 2 installed inside it. A heat exchange plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the combustion chamber 2 for heat exchange with the interior of the combustion chamber 2. A gas inlet pipe 4 is installed at the bottom of the combustion chamber 2. An air intake structure 5 is fixedly installed on the right side of the combustion chamber 2. A water pump 6 is installed on the inner wall of the wall-mounted boiler body 1. A water inlet pipe 601 and a delivery pipe 602 are installed on the water pump 6. The other end of the delivery pipe 602 is connected to the left side of the heat exchange plate 3. A drain pipe 301 is fixedly installed on the right side of the heat exchange plate 3. The bottom ends of the water inlet pipe 601 and the drain pipe 301 both penetrate and extend to the bottom of the wall-mounted boiler body 1. A flue gas duct 7 communicating with the interior of the combustion chamber 2 is installed on the top of the combustion chamber 2. A flue gas fan 701 is installed on the inner wall of the flue gas duct 7. The bottom end of the flue gas duct 7 is inclined, and the flue gas fan 701 is located in the inclined part.
[0023] The intake structure 5 includes a manifold 501, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the combustion chamber 2 and communicates with the interior of the combustion chamber 2. A heat exchange jacket 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the exhaust duct 7. The heat exchange jacket 8 is made of aluminized carbon steel and is located at the top of the exhaust fan 701. A spiral airflow chamber 801 is opened inside the heat exchange jacket 8. An intake pipe 802 and a combustion-supporting pipe 803 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the spiral airflow chamber 801. Both the intake pipe 802 and the combustion-supporting pipe 803 extend to the outside of the exhaust duct 7. The combustion pipe 803 is located at the top and bottom of the spiral airflow chamber 801, respectively. The combustion-supporting pipe 803 is fixedly installed with an air pump 804. The inner wall of the wall-mounted boiler body 1 is installed with an air pump 9. The air inlet pipe 901 and the combustion-supporting pipe 902 are installed on both sides of the air pump 9, respectively. The combustion-supporting pipe 803 and the combustion-supporting pipe 902 are both connected to the manifold 501. The combustion-supporting pipe 803 and the combustion-supporting pipe 902 are both installed with control valves 11. The inner wall of the heat exchange jacket 8 is fixedly installed with a spiral guide rod 805. The outer side of the spiral guide rod 805 is in contact with the inner wall of the heat exchange jacket 8.
[0024] The main body 1 of the wall-mounted boiler is connected to multiple auxiliary external structures, such as the water inlet pipe 601 at the bottom of the water pump 6 connected to an external water source, etc. The exhaust pipe 7 in the figure is a partial schematic diagram, etc. The combustion chamber 2 contains an ignition device, etc. These are all existing mature technologies and therefore not described in detail.
[0025] When the energy-saving household boiler needs to be started, the operator first introduces gas into the combustion chamber 2 through the gas inlet pipe 4, and ignites the gas through the ignition device inside the combustion chamber 2. The high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion flows upward and exchanges heat fully with the heat exchange plate 3. At the same time, the water pump 6 draws in external cold water through the water inlet pipe 601 and delivers it to the left side of the heat exchange plate 3 through the delivery pipe 602. When the cold water flows inside the heat exchange plate 3, it absorbs the heat of the combustion chamber 2. The heated hot water is discharged from the drain pipe 301 and supplied to the radiators or domestic hot water.
[0026] The flue gas produced by combustion continues to rise and enters the exhaust duct 7. The exhaust fan 701 operates to discharge the flue gas. During this process, the residual heat in the flue gas is recovered a second time through the heat exchange jacket 8. External air enters the spiral airflow chamber 801 through the intake pipe 802. Under the guidance of the spiral guide rod 805, a spiral airflow is formed, which fully exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas. The heated air is pressurized by the air pump 804 through the combustion pipe 803 and then sent back to the combustion chamber 2 as combustion air through the manifold 501. At the same time, the air pump 9 draws in external air through the intake pipe 901 and supplements the combustion air to the combustion chamber 2 through the combustion pipe 902 and the manifold 501. The operator can adjust the intake ratio of the two combustion air sources through the control valve 11 to achieve optimized control of combustion efficiency.
[0027] The heat exchange jacket 8, made of aluminized carbon steel, has good high temperature resistance and thermal conductivity, ensuring waste heat recovery efficiency. When it is necessary to adjust the heating power, it is only necessary to adjust the gas supply and the flow rate of the water pump 6 accordingly, and the system can automatically maintain the optimal combustion state.
[0028] In this invention, when high-temperature flue gas enters the exhaust duct 7, its residual heat is recovered a second time by the heat exchange jacket 8 in the spiral airflow chamber 801. The airflow forms a spiral airflow under the guidance of the spiral guide rod 805, and performs efficient heat exchange with the flue gas. The preheated air is returned to the combustion chamber 2 through the manifold 501 via the air pump 804 as a combustion-supporting gas. The combustion efficiency is improved by recovering the waste heat of the flue gas, which not only reduces the waste of heat energy, but also significantly reduces the heat load of the exhaust duct 7 and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 The wall-mounted boiler body 1 and the flue gas pipe 7 are both equipped with dust covers 10 on their outer sides, and the first air inlet pipe 802 and the second air inlet pipe 901 are located inside the two dust covers 10 respectively.
[0030] In this invention, the dust cover 10 can filter the airflow entering the first air intake pipe 802 and the second air intake pipe 901, preventing a large amount of dust and impurities from entering the pipes and causing blockages that affect combustion efficiency.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
