Description of the invention Title of the invention Mini gas heater with automatic temperature adjustment Technical background of the relevant invention This invention relates to heating systems, where a special mini heater with automatic temperature adjustment is provided. Technical problem and stating the objectives of the invention Fuel and energy consumption is one of the major challenges in today's world. Fuel consumption in our country is more critical and sometimes we face energy shortages in cold weather conditions. In order to reduce fuel consumption, the aim of this invention is to provide a mini heater with automatic temperature adjustment and lower electricity and gas consumption than existing heaters. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. Today, heaters are one of the most widely used heating systems for heating various types of domestic, industrial, workshop, etc. environments. They are designed and produced in different dimensions and sizes, and each one can be selected according to the dimensions and area of ​​the environment. However, heaters have different fuel consumption, some are gas heaters and some are electric. Gas heaters are more economical than electric heaters due to the cheap price of gas in the country, but in areas where there is no access to gas, an electric heater can be easily used to provide the necessary heating. Gas heaters are one of the most widely used heating systems among other heaters, which is particularly popular due to the availability of city gas in most places. Fan-type gas heaters are one of the most widely used and popular heating equipment for producing heat. These types of heaters work independently, meaning that there is no need for an engine room for heating and no need to spend additional costs. Fan-type gas heaters are suitable for all types of entertainment and sports centers, offices, workshops, factories, mosques, universities, etc. A fan-powered hot air furnace, or cabin heater, is suitable for environments and spaces that need to provide quick and comfortable heating due to its powerful fan and the ability to project hot air forward. Radiant heaters that operate on the basis of radiant heating are installed under the roof of large structures or in open spaces. Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention A dual-purpose mini heater with 220V AC and 12V DC power, as shown in Figure 1, has a rectangular body. This heater uses a switching converter (12) that converts AC power to DC power and is connected to the mattress of the device by installing a DC motor (8) with a propeller (10) and a bushing (9) in a metal base (21) with a clamp and insulation. A gas burner (20) that receives its command from a gas control valve (7) that is installed with aluminum pipes by special clamps inside the device. By installing 6 38 mm pipes with a thickness of 1 mm (19) that are installed on the burner flames, the burner flames are directed directly into the pipes (19). Using a thermostat (4) that is converted to DC by changing a few components in its circuit, and when the burner (20) is turned on and the pipes (19) are heated, using an electric thermocouple (22), the fan heater (10) is commanded to operate from a contactor (16) that is connected to the thermostat (4) and the switching (12), and the contactor (16) is responsible for turning the fan (10) on and off.When the thermostat temperature reaches the normal level, the fan (10) will be turned on by the contactor (16) and the hot pipes will direct the heat outward with pressure. When the thermostat temperature is reached, the fan (10) will be automatically turned off by the contactor (16). Separate cables are installed to use two separate AC and DC powers, and to guide the consumer, illuminated switches (5 and 6) and related lights (1, 2, and 3) have been installed on the guide for each of the AC and DC powers. To prevent the emission of carbon monoxide gas that is produced when the burner is turned on, a special duct (11) is installed inside the device and directs the exhaust gas directly to the chimney (17) behind the device. Less weight and volume, lower electricity and gas consumption, and quick, easy, and mobile installation and commissioning are the advantages of this heater. This device is started by turning on the burner by the gas valve (7), which first ignites the thermocouple (18) with a spark and then ignites the burner (20) for five seconds. The heat from the burner ignition is directed into the pipes (19) and the pipes become completely hot and hot and when the switching (12) starts working, the electricity is connected to the thermostat - electric thermocouple (22) and the contactor (16) and the switch and lights. According to the desired amount of hot air set by the digital thermostat (4), the electric thermocouple (22) measures the temperature and transmits the set temperature to the contactor and the contactor, which is connected to the electric thermocouple and the fan motor (8) of the heater, gives the command to start the fan (10) and the fan starts working and creates a strong wind that hits the hot pipes (19) and transfers the hot air to the outside with high pressure between the pipes.When the fan starts working, the fan light and the 220 or 12 volt light, whichever is used, are turned on along with the corresponding switch. When the temperature of the installation site reaches the thermostat's set temperature, the thermostat gives the contactor the command to turn off the fan, and the contactor turns off the fan, but the burner is still on at low flame. Whenever the air temperature drops, the thermocouple again gives the contactor a command and the contactor issues the fan operation command. Explanation of shapes, maps and diagrams Figure 1. Shows the general schematic of the gas mini heater and its components. A clear and precise statement of the advantages of the claimed invention over prior inventions. The invented mini heater has the following advantages over existing heaters: -Very low power consumption due to the use of switching, one third less than similar heaters -Lower city gas consumption, one-third less than similar heaters due to the use of a very small, low-pressure burner - Due to blocking 4 flames of the torch, which can only be lit with 6 flames of a 30 cm torch -Heater operates with 220V and 12V electricity separately -Smaller volume and weight, one third lower, and higher hot air output than similar heaters -Heater operation with city gas and liquefied gas with low consumption due to the use of a gas stove piston and low flame -Using the built-in sliding door, one heater can heat 3 rooms or 3 relief tents simultaneously and equally. The gas consumption of this heater is very low due to the small number of burner flames, up to six holes, and in addition to the fact that the burner temperature is very high, gas wastage is also significantly prevented. The power consumption of this device is very low due to the use of switching, which is also a 12-volt converter, and all electrical components, including (fan motor, lights, switches, and thermostat), all work with 12-volt converted electricity. Because a special nipple has been used in the burner and the number of output flames has been reduced and only 6 of the 10 flames are active (the rest are blocked), liquefied gas can also be used in this heater to light the heater burner. Description of at least one implementation method for implementing the invention To use the dual-purpose mini heater, first connect the gas hose to the end of the device's hose, then press and turn the gas control valve 45 degrees counterclockwise. The spark from the lighter ignites the thermocouple candle on the burner. After 5 seconds, turn the gas switch another 45 degrees counterclockwise. In this case, the heater burner turns on and the heat of the similar flames is directed into the pipes installed on the burner. Then, connect the city electricity or the 12-volt battery power, whichever is available. Connect the power using the lighted switch and turn on the digital thermostat and the front light of the device. Adjust the required temperature using the buttons on the thermostat. Whenever the set temperature is lower, the digital thermostat gives the command to turn on the fan heater to the contactor. By connecting the contactor, the fan heater starts working and blows the air it produces into the pipes with high pressure by rotating the impeller. As a result of the air hitting the hot pipes, Very hot air is directed outwards through the heater door grille and over a large radius, and the gasThe carbon monoxide produced is transferred to a special chimney by the ductwork. As soon as the temperature of the installation site reaches the desired setting, the fan heater motor is turned off by disconnecting the contactor and the thermostat is ready to restart the heater. Explicit mention of the industrial application of the invention It is used for heating in various environments and providing the required heat, especially in group relief tents. Using a designed sliding door, one heater can provide the necessary heat to three rooms or three tents simultaneously, permanently and equally.
