Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power generation and heating equipment, and in particular to a generator with a preheating structure and a fuel-fired heater used in conjunction with the generator. Background Technology

[0002] A heater is a device used for heating. Oil-fired heaters primarily use oil as fuel to generate heat, serving as devices for warmth and protection against the cold. Oil-fired heaters offer advantages such as portability, flexibility, small size, light weight, powerful performance, and ease of operation. They provide a large heating area, heat up quickly, have a near 100% combustion efficiency, and are smokeless, odorless, and noiseless. They are safe, clean, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, their mobility and ease of movement, coupled with comfortable heating, make them very popular in the market.

[0003] Existing fuel-fired heaters typically require auxiliary equipment, such as generators, to continue operating after the fuel tank is depleted due to limited fuel capacity. However, there is a problem with using generators in conjunction with fuel-fired heaters: in sub-zero temperatures, the generator's internal circulating lubricating oil flows slowly, making it difficult to start immediately. This results in the generator being unable to start immediately and provide heating, leading to low machine efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] The chassis 1 has a heat dissipation vent 10 that works in conjunction with the cooling fan 9 to dissipate heat. The cooling fan 9 connects to the preheating structure 3 and the outside environment through the heat dissipation vent 10. Specifically, when the temperature control unit senses that the temperature inside the heat collection space 7 is higher than a set value, the cooling fan 9 starts. Excess heat in the heat collection space 7 is discharged to the outside environment through the heat collector 8 and the cooling fan 9. The cooling fan 9 and the temperature control unit are electrically connected. The temperature control unit is set to 45°C. When the temperature control unit senses that the temperature inside the heat collection space 7 is greater than 45°C, the cooling fan 9 starts dissipating heat. The electrical control relationship and electrical connection relationship between the cooling fan 9 and the temperature control unit are common and easily conceived techniques for those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be elaborated further.

[0026] The heat transfer unit includes a miniature high-temperature resistant motor 11 and a heat collection head 12. One end of the miniature high-temperature resistant motor 11 is connected to the interior of the heat collection space 7, and the other end of the miniature high-temperature resistant motor 11 is connected to the heat collection head 12.

[0027] The outer side of the heat insulation shell 5 is provided with a circulating oil pump 13 for realizing heat circulation. The circulating oil pump 13 is fixed on the heat insulation shell 5 and communicates with the interior of the heat collection space 7. Specifically, the generator assembly 2 is provided with a circulation unit for driving the operation of the generator assembly 2.

[0028] The circulating oil pump 13 is connected to the circulating conduit via a pipeline, and the heat in the heat collection space 7 enters the circulating conduit through the circulating oil pump 13; specifically, the heat heats the circulating lubricating oil in the circulating conduit, causing it to circulate and drive the generator assembly 2 to start working.

[0029] The heat collector 8 is provided with at least one set of diesel inlet / outlet 14 and at least one set of engine oil inlet / outlet 15.

[0030] A fuel-fired heater includes a fuel-fired heater assembly 16 disposed within a casing 1 and a generator with a preheating structure. The generator with the preheating structure includes a generator assembly 2, and the fuel-fired heater assembly 16 and the generator assembly 2 are electrically controlled to each other. Specifically, the generator assembly 2 is connected to the fuel-fired heater assembly 16 through a conductive structure and drives the fuel-fired heater assembly 16 to start. The fuel-fired heater assembly 16 has an air outlet 17 at its end, which is arranged near an air outlet 4. The generator assembly 2 is provided with a power supply unit for driving the fuel-fired heater assembly 16 to start preheating in a low-temperature environment.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The main unit is placed in a low-temperature environment. The power supply unit within the generator assembly 2 first drives the fuel-fired heater assembly 16 to operate. The fuel-fired heater assembly 16 generates hot air, which is blown out from the air outlet 17 at the end of the fuel-fired heater assembly 16. The hot air then exits through the air outlet 4 located near the air outlet 17 to the outside, achieving a heating effect. At this time, due to the high temperature of the hot air flowing through the air outlet 17 and air outlet 4, the heat collector 12 collects the heat near the air outlet 4 and transfers it to the heat collection space 7 through the miniature high-temperature resistant motor 11. The heat inside the heat collection space 7 then circulates... Oil pump 13 delivers oil to the circulation conduit, where circulating lubricating oil flows. Due to the low temperature environment, the circulation speed of the lubricating oil is slow and cannot reach the level required to drive the generator assembly 2. When heat is transferred to the circulation conduit, the circulating lubricating oil absorbs heat and heats up rapidly, increasing the flow rate of the lubricating oil. After the circulating lubricating oil accelerates its flow, the generator assembly 2 is driven to start quickly in the low temperature environment by the start key. Thus, electricity is transmitted to the fuel heater assembly 16 through the conductive structure connecting the generator assembly 2 and the fuel heater assembly 16, extending the heating time of the fuel heater assembly 16 and improving the heating effect. When the temperature inside the heat collection space 7 exceeds 45°C, the temperature control unit senses and controls the cooling fan 9 to start. Excess heat inside the heat collection space 7 passes through the heat collector 8 and is then discharged to the outside through the cooling fan 9 and the heat dissipation port 10, thereby preventing the internal structure from being damaged due to excessively high temperature inside the heat collection space 7.

[0032] The installation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the fuel heater assembly 16 and the generator assembly 2 are installed and fixed inside the casing 1, and the generator assembly 2 and the fuel heater assembly 16 are electrically connected through the conductive structure on the generator assembly 2. At this time, the air outlet 17 at the end of the fuel heater assembly 16 is aligned with the air outlet 4 on the side wall of the casing 1, and then the preheating structure 3 is installed. The heat insulation board 6 is installed inside the heat insulation shell 5, so that a heat collection space 7 is formed between the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 5 and the heat insulation board 6. Then, the heat collector 8 is installed and fixed on the side of the heat insulation board 6 away from the heat insulation shell 5, so that the temperature control unit on the heat collector 8 extends into the heat collection space 7 through the opening on the heat insulation board 6. Then, the heat dissipation fan 9 is installed and fixed on the side of the heat collector 8 away from the heat insulation board 6. The micro high temperature resistant motor 11 and the heat collection head 12 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the heat insulation shell 5 near the end of the micro high temperature resistant motor 11, so that the heat collection head 12 extends and is arranged near the air outlet 4. Finally, the circulating oil pump 13 is fixedly installed on the heat insulation shell 5 and communicates with the inside of the heat collection space 7. The preheating structure 3 is then fixedly installed inside the chassis 1, with the cooling fan 9 snapped onto the heat dissipation vent 10 on the side wall of chassis 1. The heat collector 12 is positioned near the air outlet 4. Finally, a pipeline connects the circulating oil pump 13 to the circulating conduit inside the generator assembly 2, allowing heat from the heat collection space 7 to sequentially enter the circulating conduit through the circulating oil pump 13 and the pipeline. This causes the circulating lubricating oil in the circulating conduit to absorb heat and accelerate its flow. Specifically, there are two circulating oil pumps 13, one for heating the circulating lubricating oil and the other for heating the diesel fuel.

[0033] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: After the power supply unit in the generator assembly 2 drives the fuel heater to start, the preheating structure 3 recovers part of the temperature of the fuel heater outlet 4 and transfers the heat to the circulation unit in the generator, so that the circulating lubricating oil is heated up quickly, so as to achieve the purpose of normal generator start-up in low temperature environment and improve the heating effect.
