Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fireplaces, and more particularly to an ash hopper. Background Technology

[0002] A fireplace is a device that uses coal or other biomass fuels for heating or cooking.

[0003] Patent CN107289466A discloses a heating stove with an induced draft device, including a base, a furnace body on the base, a fireproof cover on the furnace body, a panel installed on the fireproof cover, a furnace chamber inside the furnace body, a furnace bridge inside the furnace chamber, an ash hopper below the furnace bridge, a feed inlet passing through the furnace body and communicating with the furnace chamber, an oven on the side of the furnace body opposite to the feed inlet, a smoke exhaust channel at the bottom of the oven, and an outer smoke exhaust port and a lower smoke exhaust port in the smoke exhaust channel, which can adapt to both indoor overhead and underground chimney installation methods.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during the use of ash hoppers, unburned carbon may fall into the ash hopper, resulting in incomplete separation of carbon from the ash after combustion. Unburned carbon is prone to mixing and accumulating with the ash, leading to incomplete combustion of carbon and waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate the separation of carbon and ash and improve the utilization rate of carbon resources, this application provides an ash hopper.

[0006] The ash hopper provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An ash hopper includes an ash hopper compartment and a handle, the handle being connected to the ash hopper compartment, the top of the ash hopper compartment having an opening, and a screen being connected inside the ash hopper compartment.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, some unburned carbon and ash fall into the ash hopper. The ash falls into the lower part of the hopper through the screen holes, while the unburned carbon is trapped at the top of the screen, thus separating the carbon from the ash. This minimizes the risk of unburned carbon being covered by ash and lacking oxygen to burn, reducing carbon resource waste, reducing the need for manual sorting of unburned carbon, and lowering operating costs and labor intensity.

[0008] Optionally, a connection port is provided on the side wall of the ash hopper, the connection port being located below the screen, and the bottom inner wall of the connection port being flush with the bottom inner wall of the ash hopper.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the ash that falls into the lower part of the ash hopper after being separated by the screen can be directly discharged through the connection port. When the carbon is burning, even if some carbon and ash fall outside the ash hopper, the ash and carbon can be moved back into the ash hopper through the connection port, making it easier for the ash hopper to shovel the ash and carbon into the ash hopper and collect the ash.

[0010] Optionally, the side wall of the ash hopper is provided with several air inlets.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, external air enters the ash hopper through the air inlet, supplementing the carbon at the top of the screen with oxygen, helping the carbon to burn continuously until it is completely burned, and minimizing the possibility of incomplete combustion of unburned carbon due to lack of oxygen, thereby improving the utilization rate of carbon resources.

[0012] Optionally, the screen is connected to the ash hopper via a connecting ring, which is detachably connected to the ash hopper via a snap-fit.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when carbon blocks accumulated on the screen need to be removed, or when the screen is blocked by ash or damaged by long-term use, pressing the buckle can release the connection ring from the ash hopper, thus facilitating the quick removal of the screen for cleaning or replacement. After maintenance, the connection ring is aligned with the ash hopper and installed on the ash hopper using the buckle, thereby improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0014] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​connection has an insulating layer.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a heat insulation layer, the risk of burns from hand contact with the buckle can be minimized, thereby reducing the safety hazards of high-temperature operation and improving the safety of maintenance operations.

[0016] Optionally, a striking block is provided on one side of the ash hopper. The striking block is used to strike the side wall of the ash hopper with the air inlet. The handle is connected to a moving component, which is used to move the striking block and drive it closer to or away from the ash hopper.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet hole is easily blocked by ash after long-term use. By moving the component to drive the striking block to approach and strike the bin wall, the slight vibration generated by the bin wall can shake off the ash adhering to the inner wall of the air inlet hole, thereby reducing the ash in the air inlet hole and improving the air intake and combustion effect.

[0018] Optionally, the moving component includes a connecting rod and an elastic element. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the striking block, and the connecting rod is slidably engaged with a handle. The elastic element is used to move the connecting rod and drive the striking block closer to the ash hopper.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is ash adhering to the air inlet, the moving connecting rod moves the striking block away from the ash hopper. After being released, the elastic element drives the striking block to strike the ash hopper, thereby causing the striking block to vibrate the side wall of the ash hopper, thus simplifying the cleaning operation.

[0020] Optionally, the connecting rod is connected to a limiting ring, which is slidably sleeved on the handle.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the limiting ring slides along the handle, restricting the connecting rod to move only along the handle axis, thus minimizing the possibility of the connecting rod causing the striking block to deviate, and improving the accuracy and stability of the striking cleaning.

[0022] Optionally, a flexible layer is connected to the end of the striking block near the ash hopper, the flexible layer being used to contact the ash hopper.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a flexible layer, the deformation or damage of the silo body caused by the rigid impact of the hammer block on the silo wall can be avoided as much as possible.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. During use, some unburned carbon and ash fall into the ash hopper. The ash falls through the screen holes into the lower part of the hopper, while the unburned carbon is trapped at the top of the screen, thus separating the carbon from the ash. This minimizes the risk of unburned carbon being covered by ash and lacking oxygen to burn, reducing carbon resource waste and the need for manual sorting of unburned carbon, thereby reducing operating costs and labor intensity. 2. During use, outside air enters the ash hopper through the air inlet to supplement oxygen to the carbon at the top of the screen, helping the carbon to burn continuously until it is completely burned, and minimizing the possibility of incomplete combustion of unburned carbon due to lack of oxygen, thereby improving the utilization rate of carbon resources. 3. When in use, if the carbon blocks accumulated on the screen need to be removed, or if the screen is clogged by ash or damaged by long-term use, press the buckle to release the connection ring from the ash hopper, so as to facilitate quick removal of the screen for cleaning or replacement. After maintenance, align the connection ring with the ash hopper and install the connection ring on the ash hopper using the buckle, thereby improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses an ash hopper.

[0032] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 A type of ash hopper includes an ash hopper compartment 100 and a handle 200. The top of the ash hopper compartment 100 is open. One end of the handle 200 is connected to the outer wall of one end of the ash hopper compartment 100. A screen 300 is connected inside the ash hopper compartment 100. The screen 300 is horizontally positioned, and its perimeter is connected to the inner wall of the ash hopper compartment 100. The addition of the screen 300 facilitates the separation of carbon and ash, reduces the amount of carbon covered by ash, and improves the utilization rate of carbon resources.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The ash hopper 100 has several air inlets 110 on its side wall near the handle 200, and these air inlets 110 are spaced apart along the width of the ash hopper 100. The ash hopper 100 has a connection port 120 on its side wall away from the handle 200, and the bottom inner wall of the connection port 120 is flush with the bottom inner wall of the ash hopper 100. The connection port 120 is located below the screen 300.

[0034] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: When in use, some unburned carbon and ash fall into the ash hopper 100. The ash passes through the screen 300 and falls to the bottom of the ash hopper 100, while the unburned carbon remains on the top of the screen 300. This reduces the situation where ash covers the carbon, allowing the carbon to burn completely and reducing the waste of carbon resources.

[0035] Example 2: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The screen 300 is connected to the ash hopper 100 via a connecting ring 400, and the screen 300 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 400 on all sides. The connecting ring 400 is in contact with the inner wall of the ash hopper 100 on all sides. Several connecting holes 410 are provided at the end of the connecting ring 400 near the air inlet 110, and each connecting hole 410 is connected to each air inlet 110.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A support ring 420 is connected to the top of the connecting ring 400, and the bottom of the support ring 420 contacts the top of the ash hopper 100. Both ends of the support ring 420 along the width direction of the ash hopper 100 are connected to buckles 430, and both ends of the ash hopper 100 have grooves 130, with each buckle 430 engaging within its respective groove. A heat insulation layer 440, made of silicone rubber, is connected to the side of the buckle 430 away from the ash hopper 100. The inner wall of the bottom of the connecting port 120 has a guide surface 140, with the end of the guide surface 140 away from the ash hopper 100 inclined downwards. The support ring 420 is detachably connected to the ash hopper 100 via the buckles 430, facilitating the removal and cleaning of the screen 300.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Referring to the ash hopper 100, an air inlet 110 is provided, and a striking block 500 is provided on one side. The striking block 500 is used to strike one end of the side wall of the ash hopper 100. There are two striking blocks 500, and a mounting plate 510 is provided between the two striking blocks 500. The two striking blocks 500 are respectively connected to the two ends of the mounting plate 510. A flexible layer 520 is connected to the end of the striking block 500 near the ash hopper 100. The flexible layer 520 is used to contact the ash hopper 100 and is made of silicone rubber heat insulation pad.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle 200 is connected to a movable component 600. The movable component 600 includes a connecting rod 610 and an elastic element. The length direction of the connecting rod 610 is consistent with the length direction of the handle 200. The connecting rod 610 slides along its length and is fitted onto the handle 200. One end of the connecting rod 610 is connected to a mounting plate 510, and the other end of the connecting rod 610 is connected to a pull block 611. The connecting rod 610 is connected to a limit ring 612, which slides and is fitted onto the handle 200.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The elastic element is a spring 620, whose length direction is consistent with that of the connecting rod 610. One end of the spring 620 is connected to the side wall of the ash hopper 100, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 510. When the spring 620 is in a relaxed state, the striking block 500 is pressed against the side wall of the ash hopper 100. When ash adheres to the air inlet 110, the striking block 500 strikes the ash hopper 100 to reduce the amount of ash in the air inlet 110 and minimize the possibility of blockage.

[0040] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: When it is necessary to replace or remove the carbon on the screen 300, push the buckle 430 to deform the buckle 430 and move it away from the groove 130, so as to facilitate the removal of the screen 300 and facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the screen 300. When ash is attached to the inner wall of the air inlet hole 110 or the connecting hole 410, pull the pull block 611 and drive one end of the connecting rod 610, so as to move the striking block 500 away from the ash hopper 100 and cause the spring 620 to stretch and deform. Release the pull block 611, the spring 620 returns to its shape and drives the connecting rod 610 to move, and drives the striking block 500 to strike the ash hopper 100, so as to vibrate the side wall of the ash hopper 100, which can shake off the ash adhering to the inner wall of the air inlet hole 110, thereby reducing the ash in the air inlet hole 110 and improving the air intake combustion effect.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
