[0002] Steam boilers have wide applications in various fields, including industrial production, commercial operations, and residential life. In industry, they are commonly used in chemical, food processing, and textile printing and dyeing industries to provide the necessary heat energy for production processes. In the commercial sector, hotels, hospitals, schools, and other places rely on steam boilers for heating, hot water supply, and to meet specific process requirements. In residential life, they may also be used for centralized heating. With the adjustment of energy structure and the increasing environmental protection requirements, higher demands are being placed on the energy efficiency, environmental performance, and level of intelligence of steam boilers.

[0026] Specifically: the heat storage mechanism 2 uses off-peak electricity prices to store energy, reducing energy costs and solving the problem of low energy utilization efficiency of traditional steam boilers.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During off-peak electricity consumption periods, the heat storage mechanism 2 plays a crucial role. The top of the shell 21 of the heat storage mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom of the furnace body 1. A heat storage body 22 composed of uniformly distributed heat storage bricks is fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 21. The heat storage body 22 typically uses magnesia bricks or high-alumina bricks as the heat storage medium. Heating wires 23 are uniformly installed through the surface of the heat storage body 22. At this time, the current is transmitted to the heating wires 23 through the heat-resistant conductive body 213 inside the insulating ceramic tube 212, causing them to heat up. As the heating wires 23 continue to heat up, the temperature of the heat storage body 22 continuously rises, thereby converting electrical energy into heat energy and storing it. When peak electricity consumption periods arrive, the heat storage... The stored heat energy in mechanism 2 begins to be released, and the variable frequency high-temperature fan 4 starts, blowing the hot air in the shell 21 into the heat exchange tubes 32 arrayed on the inner wall of the water tank 31 of the evaporation mechanism 3. The hot air flows in the heat exchange tubes 32 and fully exchanges heat with the water in the water tank 31, causing the water to heat up and evaporate to produce steam. The generated steam is transported to the furnace body 1 through the steam delivery pipe 33 connecting the front and back of the water tank 31 to meet the user's steam usage needs. During this process, the water filling pipe 311 on one side of the water tank 31 can replenish water in time to ensure that the evaporation process continues. The water sensor switch 312 is used to monitor the water level in real time and automatically replenish water when the water level is low, which improves safety.
