Description

[0003] Existing ignition needles often rely on a single material for their sealing components (such as rubber rings or epoxy resin). Under the scouring of high-temperature combustion gases, they are prone to creep or carbonization, which leads to the failure of the seal between the connecting frame and the insulator, resulting in ignition energy loss and weakening of waterproof function. In addition, in high humidity environments, water is easily retained in the heat dissipation channels, which aggravates electrode oxidation and insulation aging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a plug-in ignition needle with waterproof function, which solves the problem that "the sealing components mostly rely on a single material (such as rubber ring or epoxy resin), which is prone to creep or carbonization under the scouring of high temperature gas, resulting in the failure of the seal between the connecting frame and the insulator, causing ignition energy loss and weakening the waterproof function. In addition, in high humidity environment, water is easy to accumulate in the heat dissipation channel, which aggravates electrode oxidation and insulation aging".

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the waterproof plug-in ignition needle of this utility model, the heat dissipation fins are arranged in a wavy, staggered pattern, and the spacing between adjacent fins forms an S-shaped drainage channel.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0031] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a plug-in ignition needle with waterproof function, which can achieve waterproofing and heat dissipation of the ignition needle to avoid affecting the effect of subsequent ignition work. It includes an installation unit 100, including an installation base 101. The installation base 101 is provided with an assembly flange that matches the gas outlet. The installation base 101 is made of stainless steel. The installation base 101 is provided with an annular sealing groove 102. A high-temperature resistant rubber ring 103 is embedded in the annular sealing groove 102. The flange edge is provided with a positioning anti-rotation groove 104.

[0034] A connecting frame 200 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 101, and a waterproof gasket 201 is provided on the connecting frame 200.

[0035] Ignition unit 300 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of connecting frame 200. One end of ignition unit 300 is close to the gas outlet, and the other end of ignition unit 300 is connected to igniter.

[0036] The reinforcement unit 400 includes an aluminum alloy heat-conducting sleeve 401 disposed on the ignition unit 300. The bottom of the aluminum alloy heat-conducting sleeve 401 is provided with a drainage groove 402. The aluminum alloy heat-conducting sleeve 401 covers the ceramic insulator 301. A silicone sealing cavity is provided between the aluminum alloy heat-conducting sleeve 401 and the electrode protective cover 303. Heat dissipation fins 403 are provided on the drainage groove 402. The heat dissipation fins 403 adopt a wave-shaped staggered arrangement design, and the spacing between adjacent fins forms an S-shaped drainage channel.

[0037] When the gas appliance starts its ignition process, the igniter converts low voltage to high voltage. The high voltage is transmitted to the ignition unit 300 through a wire, thereby generating an electric spark. The generated electric spark has sufficient energy. When it approaches the gas ejected from the gas outlet, it enables the gas molecules to gain enough energy to start burning, thus achieving the ignition function. At the same time, the reinforcement unit 400 provides a multi-layer sealing structure to prevent water dripping from affecting its normal operation. Additionally, the heat dissipation fins dissipate heat from the ignition needle to prevent overheating from affecting subsequent use.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the ignition unit 300 includes a ceramic insulator 301 mounted on a connecting frame 200, a corrosion-resistant electrode 302 embedded in the ceramic insulator 301, and an electrode protective cover 303 on the corrosion-resistant electrode 302. The electrode protective cover 303 has a conical opening structure, a waterproof drainage groove at its front end, and a seal between its rear end and the ceramic insulator 301. The corrosion-resistant electrode 302 adopts a stepped insertion structure. The tungsten alloy ignition end 302a has a copper-nickel alloy connecting end 302b at one end. The surface of the copper-nickel alloy connecting end 302b is covered with a polytetrafluoroethylene insulating layer 302c. A sealing member 404 is provided at the joint between the ceramic insulator 301 and the connecting frame 200, including an epoxy resin sealing layer 404a. A ceramic fiber pad 404b is provided outside the epoxy resin sealing layer 404a. A heat shrink sleeve 404c is provided on the ceramic fiber pad 404b. The outer surface of the electrode protective cover 303 is provided with a hydrophobic coating.

[0040] When in use, the gas equipment is started and ignited. The igniter converts the low voltage to a high voltage and transmits it to the ignition unit 300. The tungsten alloy ignition end 302a of the corrosion-resistant electrode 302 generates an electric spark, igniting the mixed gas ejected from the gas outlet. The ceramic insulator 301 and the polytetrafluoroethylene insulation layer 302c ensure safe electrical conduction. The electrode protective cover 303 uses a conical constriction structure and a hydrophobic coating to divert external moisture and prevent it from seeping into the interior. The aluminum alloy heat-conducting sleeve 401 of the reinforcement unit 400, together with the wave-shaped heat dissipation fins 403, accelerates heat dissipation. At the same time, the bottom drainage groove 402 and the silicone sealing cavity work together to block ambient moisture. The epoxy resin sealing layer 404a and the ceramic fiber pad 404b further enhance the waterproof and high-temperature resistance of the connection, ensuring the stable operation of the ignition unit 300 under complex conditions such as humidity and high temperature.

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
