Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a heater that heats a room with combustion gas produced by combustion in a burner section. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, this type of device has had a burner section installed directly in the heat dissipation section, and the front surface of the flat, box-shaped heat dissipation section is heated to dissipate heat. However, since the combustion gas from the burner section flows directly into the heat dissipation section, uneven heating occurs in the heat dissipation section, making it impossible to obtain uniform and efficient heat dissipation, and there is also a risk of burnout in areas where heat is concentrated.

[0003] Therefore, a ventilation means consisting of a number of small holes is provided in the heat dissipation section on a partition plate that separates the front side, which is the heat dissipation surface, from the back side, which has the inlet and outlet for the combustion gas, and the small holes are formed so that the center portion facing the inlet for the combustion gas is dense and the end portion facing the outlet is sparse, or the small holes in the center portion facing the inlet are larger than the small holes facing the outlet (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-298194 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in this conventional device, the inlet for combustion gas to flow into the heat dissipation section is located in the center of the heat dissipation section, and the outlet for letting the combustion gas that has flowed into the heat dissipation section out of the heat dissipation section is located at the end of the heat dissipation section.As a result, the combustion gas that flows in from the inlet flows directly to the outlet, and the combustion gas that passes through the small holes in the partition plate between the inlet and the outlet also flows directly to the outlet, resulting in a high temperature in the center of the heat dissipation section and a low temperature on the side opposite the outlet of the heat dissipation section.This inevitably results in temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section, making it difficult to increase the amount of radiation from the heat dissipation section. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, claim 1 of the present invention provides a heater comprising a heat dissipation section which dissipates heat by circulating the combustion gas generated by combustion in the burner section, and a partition plate which separates a front side which serves as the heat dissipation surface within the heat dissipation section from a rear side which has an inlet and outlet for the combustion gas, the inlet being provided in the center of the rear side and the outlet being provided at one end of the rear side, and the partition plate being formed with a ventilation means consisting of a plurality of small holes, the small holes of the ventilation means having a larger diameter as they move away from the outlet side, and the small holes near the end opposite the outlet have a burring portion which is formed in a convex shape facing forward around the hole.

[0007] In addition, in claim 2, the partition plate is formed into a shape having a central flat portion and curved portions above and below it, and a small hole having a burring portion formed in a convex shape around the hole is formed in the flat portion.

[0008] In addition, in claim 3, the front side of the heat dissipation section is formed with an uneven cross section, and a small hole having a burring portion formed in a convex shape around the hole is positioned in the convex cross section portion at the front of the front side of the heat dissipation section.

[0009] In claim 4, the left and right ends of the partition plate are bent to form bent portions, and the bent portion on the outlet side is formed larger than the bent portion on the opposite side to the outlet. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to claim 1 of this invention, the small holes serving as ventilation means formed in the partition plate of the heat dissipation section have a larger hole diameter as they move away from the outlet side, and the small holes near the end opposite the outlet have a burring portion formed in a convex shape around the hole, so that more combustion gas passes through the small holes as they move away from the outlet side, and the entire heat dissipation section is heated evenly.Furthermore, the combustion gas is guided to the convex portion of the small holes formed in a convex shape around the hole and hits the heat dissipation section in front of the small holes, so that the combustion gas hits the part of the heat dissipation section opposite the outlet, preventing the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section, and the entire heat dissipation section can be heated efficiently, thereby increasing the radiation amount of the heat dissipation section.

[0011] In addition, according to claim 2, the partition plate is formed into a shape having a central flat portion and curved portions above and below it, and by forming it on the flat portion, the entire small hole is evenly close to the heat dissipation portion, and further, the small hole having a burring portion formed in a convex shape around the hole is closer to the heat dissipation portion, so that the combustion gas hits the entire heat dissipation portion, preventing the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation portion, and the entire heat dissipation portion can be heated efficiently to increase the radiation amount of the heat dissipation portion.

[0012] According to claim 3, the front side of the heat dissipation section is formed with an uneven cross section, and a small hole having a burred portion formed in a convex shape around the hole is located in the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section. Therefore, by forming the front side of the heat dissipation section with an uneven cross section, the strength of the heat dissipation section is increased, and by positioning the small hole having a burred portion formed in a convex shape around the hole in the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section, the combustion gas from the small hole having a burred portion formed in a convex shape around the hole hits the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section and is heated, thereby preventing the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section, and efficiently heating the entire heat dissipation section to increase the radiation amount of the heat dissipation section.

[0013] According to claim 4, both ends of the partition plate are folded to form bent portions, and the bent portion on the outlet side is made larger than the bent portion on the opposite side of the outlet. This makes it difficult for the combustion gas to take a shortcut by making the bent portion on the outlet side larger, and by making the bent portion on the opposite side of the outlet smaller, the combustion gas that has flowed to the opposite side of the outlet tends to flow around the end of the partition plate toward the outlet. This prevents temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section and efficiently heats the entire heat dissipation section, thereby increasing the radiation amount of the heat dissipation section. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of a heater according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. [Diagram 5] FIG. [Figure 6] FIG. [Figure 7] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a burner section which receives combustion air from a combustion fan 2 and fuel from a fuel supply means (not shown) and burns them to generate combustion gas.

[0016] ?3 is a rectangular columnar combustion tube located above the burner section 1 and connected to the burner section 1, and is connected to a flat, central-shaped heat dissipation section 4 at the top. The rear side of this heat dissipation section 4 protrudes slightly outward and has a combustion gas inlet 5 at the center of the rear side, toward the lower front side, and an outlet 6 is provided at one end of the rear side, which in this embodiment is on the right side.

[0017] Reference numeral 7 denotes a horizontally elongated partition plate located in the center to divide the heat dissipation section 4 into front and rear sections. The partition plate 7 comprises a central flat section 8 and upper and lower bent sections, an upper bent section 9 above the flat section 8 and a lower bent section 10 below the flat section 8. As a means for ventilating the combustion gas from the inlet 5, multiple small holes 11 with a diameter of 5 mm are formed near the inlet 5 in the center of the flat portion 8, multiple small holes 12 with a diameter of 4 mm are formed on the outlet 6 side on the left side, and multiple small holes 13 with a diameter of 12 mm are formed on the combustion gas return side on the right side.

[0018] In addition, no small holes are formed in the upper bent portion 9 as ventilation means, but in the lower bent portion 10, multiple small holes 11 with a diameter of 5 mm are formed near the central inlet 5, multiple small holes 12 with a diameter of 4 mm are formed on the outlet 6 side on the left side, and multiple small holes 14 with a diameter of 7 mm are formed on the combustion gas return side on the right side.

[0019] Furthermore, among the small holes 13 having a diameter of 12 mm formed on the combustion gas return side on the right side of the flat portion 8, the small holes 13 located in the bead portion 21 formed in the middle and lower tiers of the bead portion 21 formed in a convex cross section on the front side of the heat dissipation portion 4 described later have burring portions 15 formed in a convex shape toward the front by burring processing.

[0020] In addition, the partition plate 7 is supported at three points within the heat dissipation section 4 and is fixed with a single spot weld 16 at the lower central end, and at the upper left and upper right ends when viewed from the front, a wire mesh (not shown) of 33 mesh, wire diameter φ0.29, and made of a highly heat-resistant iron-chromium-aluminum alloy is folded back and covered to the upper back end and fixed with spot welding.The partition plate 7 is supported by a left support bracket 17 and a right support bracket 18 so that it is not in contact with the intersections of the woven wire mesh under normal conditions and comes into multiple point contact with the intersections of the woven wire mesh only when it expands due to heating.The other end of the left support bracket 17 is welded to the side of the partition plate 7 within the heat dissipation section 4, and the other end of the right support bracket 18 is welded to the above of the partition plate 7 within the heat dissipation section 4.

[0021] In addition, the left and right ends of the partition plate 7 are both folded to form a right folding portion 19 and a left folding portion 20. The left folding portion 20 on the outlet 6 side has a longer bending length than the right folding portion 19 to narrow the space through which the combustion gas passes, and the right folding portion 19 on the opposite side of the outlet 6 has a shorter bending length than the left folding portion 20 to widen the space through which the combustion gas passes.

[0022] On the other hand, far-infrared paint is applied to the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 as a heat dissipation surface to radiate far-infrared rays, and multiple bead sections 21 are formed in upper, middle and lower rows for reinforcement, and the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 is formed with an uneven cross section, and the portion with a convex cross section at the front of the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 forms the bead section 21.

[0023] ?22 is a heat exchanger through which the combustion gas flows after passing through the heat dissipation section 4. It is located on the rear of the heat dissipation section 4 and is composed of multiple pipes arranged in parallel. By circulating the heated combustion gas through the heat dissipation section 4, the air blown by the convection fan (not shown) is exchanged with heat and released into the room as warm air.

[0024] ?23 is a large observation window formed on the front of the combustion tube 3, through which the blue flame formed by combustion in the burner section 1 can be seen. Reference numeral 24 denotes an operating unit provided on the upper front part of the device body 25, 26 denotes a display unit that displays the operation contents and operating status of the operating unit 24, and 27 denotes a guard body that covers the front of the device body 25.

[0025] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Now, the combustion gas generated by combustion in the burner section 1 flows from the combustion tube 3 through the inlet 5 into the heat radiating section 4 . At this time, the entire surface of the flat portion 8 of the partition plate 7 is positioned at equal intervals with the entire front surface of the heat dissipation portion 4, so that the small holes 11, 12, and 13, which are ventilation means of the partition plate 7, are positioned at equal intervals with the entire front surface of the heat dissipation portion 4, allowing heat to be transferred to the entire front surface of the heat dissipation portion 4.

[0026] The combustion gas is divided into combustion gas flowing from the inlet 5 toward the outlet 6, as indicated by arrow A in Figure 5; combustion gas flowing from the inlet 5 toward the outlet 6 after passing through small holes 11, 12, 13, and 14, which are ventilation means in the partition plate 7, as indicated by arrow B; and combustion gas flowing from the inlet 5 to the opposite end of the outlet 6 without passing through the small holes 11, 12, 13, and 14, which are ventilation means in the partition plate 7, and then turning around the partition plate 7 and flowing toward the outlet 6, as indicated by arrow C.

[0027] The combustion gas indicated by arrow A heats the area from inlet 5 to outlet 6 of partition plate 7, and as it flows from inlet 5 to outlet 6, some of the combustion gas passes through small holes 11, 12 in partition plate 7 and flows to the front surface inside heat dissipation section 4, heating the area from the center of the front surface of heat dissipation section 4 to outlet 6.

[0028] Here, the left bent portion 20 on the outlet 6 side of the partition plate 7 has a longer bending length than the right bent portion 19, thereby narrowing the space through which the combustion gas passes. This makes it difficult for the combustion gas to flow from the inlet 5 to the outlet 6, thereby reducing the shortcut of the combustion gas from the inlet 5 to the outlet 6 and allowing the combustion gas to flow to the end of the partition plate 7 opposite the outlet 6, thereby efficiently heating the entire heat dissipation section 4.

[0029] In addition, the small holes 12 near the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7 are smaller than the small holes 11 near the inlet 5, so that the combustion gas passing through the small holes 12 in the portion of the partition plate 7 from the inlet 5 to the outlet 6 is suppressed, and the shortcut to the outlet 6 by passing through the small holes 12 near the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7 is reduced, so that the combustion gas flows to the end opposite the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7, thereby efficiently heating the entire heat dissipation section 4.

[0030] In addition, the combustion gas indicated by the arrow B heats the area near the inlet 5 of the partition plate 7, passes through small holes 11 near the inlet 5 of the partition plate 7, and flows to the front surface inside the heat dissipation section 4, heating the area near the center of the front surface of the heat dissipation section 4.

[0031] In addition, the combustion gas indicated by arrow C heats the area from the inlet 5 to the opposite end of the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7, and as it flows from the inlet 5 to the opposite end of the outlet 6, a portion of the combustion gas passes through the small holes 11, 13, and 14 of the partition plate 7 and flows to the front surface inside the heat dissipation section 4, heating the area from the center of the front surface of the heat dissipation section 4 to the opposite end of the outlet 6.

[0032] Furthermore, the small holes 13 located near the end opposite the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7 and in the upper part of the bead portion 21 formed on the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 allow the combustion gas to pass through more easily than the small holes 13 located in the middle and lower parts of the bead portion 21, thereby heating the upper part of the bead portion 21. On the other hand, the small holes 13 located near the end opposite the outlet 6 of the partition plate 7 and in the middle and lower parts of the bead portion 21 formed on the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 allow the combustion gas to pass through less easily than the small holes 13 located in the upper part of the bead portion 21. Therefore, the periphery of the small holes 13 is formed into a convex burring 15 by burring processing or the like, and the tip of the burring portion 15 of the small hole 13 is brought close to the bead portion 21 side. As a result, the bead portion 21 near the end opposite the outlet 6 of the heat dissipation section 4, which is least exposed to the combustion gas, is also sufficiently exposed to the combustion gas and heated, and the entire heat dissipation section 4 can be kept at a uniform temperature.

[0033] As described above, the small holes 11, 12, 13, and 14 serving as ventilation means formed in the partition plate 7 of the heat dissipation section 4 have larger hole diameters as they move away from the outlet 6 side, and the small hole 13 near the end opposite the outlet 6 has a convex burred portion 15 formed around it. As a result, more combustion gas passes through the small holes 11, 12, 13, and 14 as it moves away from the outlet 6 side, and the entire heat dissipation section 4 is heated evenly. Furthermore, the combustion gas is guided to the burred portion 15 formed in a convex shape around the small hole 13, and hits the heat dissipation section 4 in front of the small hole 13. This prevents uneven temperature distribution in the heat dissipation section 4, and efficiently heats the entire heat dissipation section 4, thereby increasing the amount of radiation from the heat dissipation section 4.

[0034] In addition, by forming the partition plate 7 in a shape having a central flat portion 8, an upward bent portion 9 above the flat portion 8, and a downward bent portion 10 below the flat portion 8, and by forming the partition plate 7 on the flat portion 8, the small holes 11, 12, and 13 are all evenly close to the heat dissipation portion 4, and further the burring portion 15 formed in a convex shape around the small hole 13 is closer to the heat dissipation portion 4. As a result, the combustion gas hits the entire heat dissipation portion 4, preventing uneven temperature distribution in the heat dissipation portion 4 and efficiently heating the entire heat dissipation portion 4, thereby increasing the amount of radiation from the heat dissipation portion 4.

[0035] In addition, the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 is formed with an uneven cross section, and the burring section 15 of the small hole 13 formed with a convex circumference is located in the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section 4. Therefore, by forming the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 with an uneven cross section, the strength of the heat dissipation section 4 is increased, and by positioning the small hole 13 formed with a convex circumference on the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section 4, the combustion gas from the small hole 13 formed with a convex circumference hits the convex cross section part on the front side of the heat dissipation section 4 and is heated, thereby preventing the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section 4 and efficiently heating the entire heat dissipation section 4 to increase the radiation amount of the heat dissipation section 4.

[0036] In addition, both ends of the partition plate 7 are folded to form bent sections, and the left bent section 20 on the outlet 6 side is made larger than the right bent section 19 on the opposite side of the outlet 6. Therefore, the left bent section 20 on the outlet side, which is made larger, makes it difficult for the combustion gas to take a shortcut, and the right bent section 19 on the opposite side of the outlet 6 is made smaller, so that the combustion gas that has flowed to the opposite side of the outlet 6 tends to go around the end of the partition plate 7 and flow toward the outlet 6. This prevents temperature unevenness in the heat dissipation section 4 and efficiently heats the entire heat dissipation section 4, thereby increasing the amount of radiation from the heat dissipation section 4.
