[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0020] For existing steam generators, after combustion, the emitted flue gas still contains a large amount of heat, and the heat in the flue gas cannot be recovered and utilized well, resulting in a large amount of energy waste. It also increases the temperature of the surrounding working environment and affects the comfort of the workers, thus causing inconvenience to the workers.

[0021] In view of this, the present invention provides a preheating steam generator. Through the cooperation of the tank, preheating device and combustion device, the heat in the exhaust gas can be recovered and utilized during combustion heating. This can preheat the prepared water, reduce the subsequent heating time, improve the overall work efficiency, improve energy utilization, and effectively reduce the temperature of the surrounding working environment, thereby improving the work comfort of the staff.

[0022] Example 1: By Figure 1 , 2As shown in section 3, a preheating steam generator includes a tank 1, a combustion cylinder 8 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 1, a connecting pipe 10 connected to the upper side of one side of the tank 1, and a preheating device 2 installed above the tank 1. The preheating device 2 includes: a water tank 21 fixedly connected to the top of the tank 1; a heat exchange pipe 22 passing through the top side of the water tank 21 and with its end passing through the top of the tank 1; multiple heat exchange plates 23, all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange pipe 22; and a water inlet 24 connected to the top side of the water tank 21. The flue gas after combustion can enter the interior of the water tank 21 through the heat exchange pipe 22 so that it can exchange heat with the water inside the water tank 21 through the heat exchange plates 23.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that external water sources can be supplied to the inside of the water tank 21 through the water inlet 24, and the flue gas after combustion can be transported to the inside of the water tank 21 through the heat exchange pipe 22. Then, through heat conduction, heat exchange is carried out using the heat exchange plate 23 to preheat the water inside the water tank 21.

[0024] Furthermore, an isolation ring cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1, and a combustion device 3 is provided below the tank body 1. The combustion device 3 includes: a gas delivery pipe 31, which passes through the lower side of the tank body 1 and extends to the lower interior of the combustion cylinder 8. The outer wall of the gas delivery pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the isolation ring cylinder 4 and the outer wall of the gas delivery pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1; a burner head 32, which is connected to the end of the gas delivery pipe 31; an igniter 33, which is fixedly connected to the lower interior of the combustion cylinder 8; multiple heat-conducting plates 34, which are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the combustion cylinder 8; and a gas supply device 35, which is located on the lower side of the inner interior of the tank body 1. The external combustion gas is delivered to the lower interior of the combustion cylinder 8 through the gas delivery pipe 31 and the burner head 32, and the gas supply device 35 delivers the outside air to the lower interior of the combustion cylinder 8.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the gas transmission pipe 31 can be connected to external gas transmission equipment to transmit gas through the external gas transmission equipment, or it can be connected to an external gas transmission network. The specific gas transmission method is not limited and can be selected according to the actual use. The igniter 33 can ignite the transmitted gas.

[0026] Furthermore, the air supply device 35 includes: a filter screen 354, which is fixedly connected to the lower side of the tank body 1 by bolts; a blower 353, which is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the inner wall of the tank body 1; an air guide pipe 352, which is connected to the output end of the blower 353 and whose outer wall is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the isolation ring cylinder 4; and an annular nozzle 351, which is connected to the end of the air guide pipe 352 and fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the combustion cylinder 8; wherein, the blower 353 delivers the air filtered by the filter screen 354 to the lower interior of the combustion cylinder 8 through the air guide pipe 352 and the annular nozzle 351;

[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the mesh size of filter screen 354 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. It should be noted that the staff should disassemble and clean filter screen 354 regularly to avoid clogging, which would affect the quality of use. The specific cleaning cycle is not limited and can be determined according to the actual usage situation. The model of blower 353 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. Blower 353 can deliver outside air into the combustion chamber 8 to increase the oxygen content inside the combustion chamber 8, thereby ensuring the combustion efficiency of the gas.

[0028] Furthermore, heat insulation plates 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1, the inner wall of the combustion cylinder 8, and the outer wall of the isolation ring cylinder 4. A controller 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1, and a high-temperature resistant water level sensor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the heat insulation plate 7. The controller 5 and the high-temperature resistant water level sensor 6 are electrically connected.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that there are no restrictions on the model of the controller 5 and the high-temperature water level sensor 6, as long as they meet the usage requirements. The high-temperature water level sensor 6 can monitor the water level inside the tank 1 in real time and then transmit the information to the controller 5. When the water level is insufficient, the controller 5 can control the water replenishment device 9 to replenish water. The heat insulation plate 7 can block heat, thereby reducing the efficiency of heat loss. There are no restrictions on the specific material of the heat insulation plate 7, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0030] Specifically, when using this preheating steam generator, the heat generated during combustion can be conducted through the heat-conducting plate 34 to heat the water and generate steam. At the same time, the flue gas generated after combustion can enter the interior of the water tank 21 through the heat exchange tube 22, and then exchange heat through the heat exchange plate 23. At this time, the water inside the water tank 21 can be preheated, and then the flue gas can be discharged through the end of the heat exchange tube 22.

[0031] Example 2: From Figure 1 , 2As shown in section 4, a water replenishment device 9 is provided on the upper side of the tank 1. The water replenishment device 9 includes: a servo motor 91, which is fixedly connected to the top side of the water tank 21 and electrically connected to the controller 5; a drive rod 92, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 91 and rotatably connected to the top side of the water tank 21 through a sealed bearing; a sealing plate 93, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive rod 92 and whose bottom is in contact with the top side of the tank 1; and a sealing gasket 94, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plate 93 and whose bottom is in contact with the top of the tank 1. The servo motor 91 drives the sealing plate 93 to move through the drive rod 92. When the opening of the sealing plate 93 coincides with the opening on the top of the tank 1, water can be replenished; when they are misaligned, the tank can be closed.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model of the servo motor 91 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The servo motor 91 can drive the drive rod 92 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the top opening of the tank 1 through the sealing plate 93. The material of the sealing gasket 94 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0033] Specifically, based on the above embodiment one, when water needs to be replenished, the controller 5 turns on the servo motor 91, the servo motor 91 drives the drive rod 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the sealing plate 93 to rotate. As the sealing plate 93 rotates, when the opening of the sealing plate 93 coincides with the opening at the top of the tank 1, water replenishment can be carried out. After water replenishment is completed, the servo motor 91 can be controlled again, and then the top opening of the tank 1 can be closed through the sealing plate 93, thereby completing the water replenishment work.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
