Charcoal box with chimney and ignition mechanism without the need for a flame

Abstract

The charcoal box with a chimney and flameless ignition mechanism is in the technical field of combustion products and fire starting devices and includes a charcoal holding box, a holding lid and a chimney. The user moves the chimney left and right with his two palms in a hand drill manner. Due to the contact between the end of the chimney body impregnated with sulfur and the sandpaper-like and rough body of the conical part and the friction between these two flames occurs, and the cone and chimney start to catch fire and transfer it to the chamber. Oxygen entering from the base of the body to the conical part ensures the continuity of the fire. From the entrance of the fire into the body chamber, it gradually burns from the inside, and since the coals are enclosed and located near the entrance of the fire, they gradually catch fire and begin to burn. On the 4 sides of the box, a large number of small holes have been created to create swirling currents in the chamber, and on the other hand, by combining with the vertical air flow of the conical part, a whirlwind current is formed inside the chamber, in this case, the fire flame increases and the coal combustion process is fully guaranteed. With the complete flame of the coals, the body gradually burns and the coals are prepared in a short time and without manual intervention.

Description

Description of the invention Title of the invention (as stated in the declaration) Charcoal box with chimney mechanism and flameless igniter Technical background of the relevant invention This invention belongs to the technical field of combustion products and means for lighting and igniting a fire and a packaged combustion material, in particular a self-supporting prefabricated package of combustible material adapted for placement in a combustion space such as a domestic gas stove or a barbecue or grill. Technical problem and statement of invention objectives With the continuous improvement of modern living standards, people's needs for entertainment, recreation and entertainment are also gradually increasing. Barbecue, as a dining method that can be combined with leisure and entertainment, has become more and more popular among people. Many people consider lighting a fire a tedious task and tend not to light a fire regularly, or to keep sufficient supplies of charcoal or other solid fuels and wood, paper, fire starters, etc. to make a fire. On the other hand, there are many problems in lighting charcoal for barbecue or outdoor use. Here are some of them: Difficulty in ignition: Charcoal is difficult to light and may require multiple attempts to get started. One solution to the ignition problem is to use a lighter fluid or fire starter, which may consist of a flammable petroleum-based liquid or alcohol, usually methanol or ethanol. Lighting the charcoal with such a fluid accelerates the ignition process. However, if all of the lighter fluid is not burned, the vapors will impart an unpleasant, chemical flavor to any grilled food. The lighter fluid itself is also an environmental pollutant, releasing volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. Wind conditions: Wind can make it difficult to light charcoal, and it can also extinguish flames and make it difficult to keep the fire going. Smoke: Lighting charcoal can produce a lot of smoke and vapor, which can be unpleasant and even harmful if inhaled. Long waiting time: It can take a while for the charcoal to reach the right temperature for cooking, which can be frustrating. Inefficient combustion: If the charcoal is not lit properly, it may not burn effectively, resulting in wasted charcoal and reduced heat. Therefore, one important aspect of the claimed design lies in the construction of a self-supporting prefabricated structure of combustible materials that ignites easily, containing less combustible materials but with a longer burning time. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. In the past, there have been designs to improve and accelerate the combustion process involving fuel sources and fire starters. A search of past studies reveals that there are several devices for this purpose. One such example is the “Chimney Starter” invented by Ellsworth BA Zwoyer, which was patented in the United States in 1912 under the number 1,027,551. The device was designed to provide a quick and easy way to ignite charcoal or other solid fuels and consisted of a metal cylinder with a handle and a wire mesh at the bottom. The cylinder is filled with charcoal and newspaper is placed under the wire mesh. The paper ignites and ignites the charcoal. The design of the chimney allows for efficient airflow, which helps the charcoal ignite quickly. While the chimney starter is made of metal, the present invention is made of recycled paper materials, making it more environmentally friendly. Although both inventions aim to simplify the process of burning charcoal for grilling or other purposes, they differ in structure and function. This invention has an eddy current inside the box and a flameless ignition system. Another invention is the "Charcoal Igniter" invented by Max Katzman in 1978 under the number 4114632 of the United States. This device consists of a cylindrical container made of metal or other heat-resistant material. The container has a perforated bottom and a removable lid. Charcoal is placed in the container and a wick of cotton or other suitable material is inserted through the perforated bottom. The wick is soaked in lighter fluid and the container is lit from below. The wick ignites the charcoal and the lid is replaced to achieve efficient combustion. This invention differs from the present invention in structure and design and also offers the advantage of more precise temperature control and safety and easy portability over this invention. Similarly, "Firestarter for Charcoal," patented by James A. Peckham in 1976 under U.S. Patent No. 3,988,934, describes a device that simplifies the process of lighting charcoal. The device consists of a container with a perforated bottom and a removable lid. A wick of fiberglass or other suitable material is inserted through the perforated bottom and the container is filled with charcoal. The wick is soaked in lighter fluid and the container is lit from below. The wick ignites the charcoal and the lid is replaced to provide efficient combustion. The difference between the present invention and the present invention is in the manner in which the charcoal is ignited and also in the design and construction. Accordingly, while the specific combination of components in the present invention may be novel and unique, similar devices that simplify the process of lighting charcoal have been patented in the past.In the patent "A packaged combustible" GB2235209 in 1990, a combustible package for starting a fire comprises a self-supporting structure with a wooden lattice structure, of combustible material mounted on a side support member which provides ventilation and supports discrete pieces of a less flammable material such as charcoal. The charcoal may be contained in a bag or free on a wooden lattice. Preferably, a fire starter is attached to the underside of the wooden lattice structure to assist in combustion. The entire package may be contained in a cardboard box, the front of which is opened to provide easy access to the igniter. The cardboard box may also be ignited and need not be removed. In the present invention, all the solid fuel (charcoal) is contained in a cardboard package for ease of transport, which itself has numerous holes to create a vortex flow which causes the combustion process to be complete and in less time. The two inventions also differ in the method of ignition in the igniter section. The patent "Charcoal fire device convenient to ignite" No. 215899472 in China provided a utility model of a charcoal fire device convenient to ignite, in which charcoal is provided with a combustible combustion supporting body, both of which are covered with a packaging body, and the body is provided with a combustion hole. The combustion material and charcoal are fixed by the position of the combustion packaging body to form a combustion body, and the combustion of the packaging body can drive the contents therein to be ignited. The user must ignite the combustion packaging body to ignite the charcoal and the combustible materials in the packaging. The patent provides stability control bases and oxygen entry and the use of multiple holes on the body to ensure complete combustion of the charcoal, which are not mentioned in this invention.Secondly, the proximity of the igniter to the charcoal in our invention causes the ignition of the solid fuel, whereas the patent focuses on the use of a combustible packaging body to simultaneously ignite the combustion support object and the charcoal, and the combustion of the packaging body ignites the charcoal. Overall, the present claimed invention provides a more structured and organized approach to charcoal combustion by providing specific components that work together to ensure complete ignition. The use of recycled paper materials also makes it environmentally friendly and sustainable. While both inventions aim to simplify the process of lighting a charcoal fire, they use different mechanisms to achieve this goal. The application entitled "DEVICE FOR LIGHTING SOLID FUEL, AND KIT FOR LIGHTING SOLID FUEL" and number WO / 2013 / 075196 relates to a device for lighting solid fuel such as charcoal by means of an internal groove in a box filled with paper, which differs in structure and also in the manner of ignition from the present invention, and perhaps this structure provides incomplete combustion of solid fuel away from the central groove that is not close to the fire in the chamber. Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a structure for holding combustible materials (a neat and convenient package) containing solid fuel (coal) for lighting a fire in the open air, etc., so as to ensure complete combustion of the solid fuel inside the package in a shorter time and in a practical, hygienic and safe manner, without any additional effort or work with less combustible materials but with longer burning for the purpose of environmental compatibility and waste of energy and time, and to smooth out the problems existing in previous inventions. Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention In order to overcome the shortcomings and problems of previous designs, a charcoal box with a chimney and fire mechanism without the need for a flame is a device that provides an efficient and environmentally friendly method for burning charcoal. To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: This device consists of an outer body made of recycled paper material that forms a rectangular cross-section. The appropriate design of the box allows for complete combustion of the charcoal inside it using a flame. This substrate (Figure 1) consists of a box consisting of a chamber, a conical part and the box support legs for holding the charcoal "1", a holding lid "2" and a chimney "3" that is separately located in the conical part; The upper part of the box is closed with a lid that has a smoke outlet hole in its middle part and by closing the lid of the box, improper air entry into the chamber is prevented to ensure internal combustion inside the chamber. The conical part, which acts as an inlet for the flame from below, ignites the charcoal inside the chamber due to its proximity to the flame. The control legs, defined by their height, act as an air intake regulator, providing sufficient oxygen to keep the flame burning in the cone and providing a controlled fire level inside the cone for entry into the chamber and the coals inside the pack. There are a large number of very small holes on the 4 sides of the box to create rotating currents in the chamber. These holes are designed on the box mold in the form of holes with a tangential angle, and when the mold is placed in the pulp and dried, these holes are created on it to a size smaller than one millimeter. On the other hand, a vertical air flow enters the chamber from under the box legs and is directed upwards through a conical hole, and the combination of these two flows in the chamber causes a vortex flow inside the chamber. In this case, without the need for blowing, this vortex flow creates an increase in the fire's intensity and complete combustion. The act of blowing and circulating air inside the chamber accelerates the combustion of coal inside the chamber. The chimney of this proposed design is a piece designed to increase the height of the thermosiphon agent and also provides easy ignition for the user. More precisely, this chimney is a tubular piece whose end, similar to the body of the conical part, has an incomplete cone shape, and in the product packaging, this chimney is completely placed inside the conical part. In order to use, the user first pulls the chimney out by hand until it is at its highest height, a ring-shaped hole is located on the outer body of the pipe that is stuck inside the upper end of the conical part and prevents the chimney from falling. Now, like lighting a fire with a hand drill, the user moves the chimney left and right with the palms of his hands. Because the end of the chimney body is impregnated with sulfur (4) and its opposite point is on the cone-shaped part, which is sandpaper-like and rough like the body of a match (5), friction occurs between these two flames, and the cone and chimney start to catch fire and transfer it to the chamber (Figure 2). As the charcoal burns inside the chamber, the cardboard packaging also catches fire, and in a short time all the charcoal burns, leaving no waste or residue. The fire starts and spreads quickly, and due to the presence of oxygen in the chamber along with the combustible materials, it transfers heat and fire to the charcoal in the device. This box and its mentioned mechanism can be generalized to other solid fuels in addition to charcoal. Explanation of shapes, maps and diagrams Figure 1 - Views of a charcoal box with a chimney and firebox mechanism without the need for a flame 1- Charcoal storage box, 2- Storage lid This figure shows various views of the box and its components are fully illustrated. Figure 2 - Chimney mechanism and fire system 3- Chimney, 4- End of chimney body impregnated with sulfur, 5- Sandpaper-like and rough body of the conical part of the box This figure shows the view of the chimney and the fire system, and the contact and friction point of the sulfur-impregnated chimney body end with the sandpaper-like, rough body of the conical part. A clear and precise statement of the advantages of the claimed invention over prior inventions. The charcoal box with a chimney and flameless ignition mechanism described in this design has the following advantages: Complete and efficient combustion of coal inside the chamber: By allowing oxygen to enter through the support legs as well as tiny holes in the body, it ensures a stable combustion process and less smoke production in less time. Maintaining hygiene and cleanliness: Prevents direct handling of coal, spreading dust from coal particles, and subsequent disposal of dirty bags used to transport coal. Safety: Allows for the avoidance of touching any type of fire activator, such as liquid or gel fuel, as well as exposing the user to the risk of burns in an attempt to create and maintain a flame. Easy Ignition: The inclusion of a starter cone makes it easier to start a charcoal fire and speeds up the ignition process. The cone is designed to be fed from the bottom, ensuring that enough oxygen is available to complete the combustion process. Environmentally friendly: The body of the packaging is made of cardboard, which is an affordable and inexpensive material. Just as the charcoal inside the container burns, the packaging also catches fire and burns completely, leaving no residue. Overall, this device offers a convenient and environmentally friendly way to produce a charcoal bed, with improved combustion efficiency and reduced smoke production. Description of at least one implementation method for implementing the invention This box consists of a cardboard body with a sticker on it that we remove and ignite during use and place in the conical part of the box. The oxygen entering from the base of the body to the conical part ensures the continuity of the fire. From the fire entrance into the chamber, the body gradually burns from the inside and because the coals are inside the package and near the fire entrance, they gradually catch fire and start to burn. There are many very small holes on the 4 sides of the box to create rotating currents in the chamber. On the other hand, a vertical air flow will enter the chamber from the conical part, and the combination of these two currents in the chamber will create a vortex flow inside the chamber, in this case, the fire's intensity increases and the combustion of the coals inside the chamber is fully guaranteed. The top of the chamber is closed with a lid and inappropriate air entry into the chamber is prevented.As the coals burn and ignite completely, the body gradually burns, and in a short time and without manual intervention or energy consumption, the coals are ready, and its packaging, since it is made of cardboard, is completely destroyed. To create ignition inside the box, the user first pulls the chimney out with his hand until it is at its highest height. There is a ring-shaped hole on the outer body of the pipe that is stuck inside the upper end of the conical part and prevents the chimney from falling. Now, the user moves the chimney left and right with his palms, as if lighting a fire using a hand drill. Due to the contact between the end of the chimney body impregnated with sulfur and the sandpaper-like and rough body of the conical part, friction occurs between these two flames, and the cone and chimney start to catch fire and are transferred to the chamber. Explicit mention of the industrial application of the invention Using types of charcoal such as charcoal, which is not easy to ignite and is used as a fire starter for barbecues and outdoor cooking. This pack can be used to produce fire in indoor and outdoor spaces for cooking, lighting, etc. Brief description of the invention The charcoal box with a chimney and flameless ignition mechanism is in the technical field of combustion products and fire starting devices and includes a charcoal storage box, a storage lid and a chimney. The user moves the chimney left and right with the palms of his hands in a hand drill manner. Due to the contact between the end of the sulfur-impregnated chimney body and the sandpaper-like and rough cone-shaped body and friction between these two flames, the cone and chimney start to catch fire and transfer it to the chamber. The oxygen entering from the base of the body to the cone ensures the continuity of the fire. From the fire inlet into the body chamber, it gradually burns from the inside and since the coals are inside the package and near the fire inlet, they gradually catch fire and start to burn. On the four sides of the box, a large number of tiny holes have been created to create swirling currents in the chamber. On the other hand, by combining with the vertical airflow of the conical part, a whirlwind current is formed inside the chamber. In this case, the fire's intensity increases and ensures complete combustion of the coal.As the coals are fully ignited, the body gradually burns, and the coals are ready in a short time and without manual intervention.
