Vortex Flame Device with Movable Flow Guide for Safe Ignition

The patent introduces a baffle structure with specific geometric characteristics (inclined surfaces, angled ports) to create localized flow patterns. The baffle's inclined surfaces guide air flow in a controlled manner, while the angled ports direct airflow tangentially to the combustion chamber, creating a stable swirling flow that prevents excess air from disrupting the flame while ensuring adequate oxygen supply for combustion.

The patent employs a baffle structure that utilizes fluid dynamics principles to control air flow into the combustion chamber. The inclined surfaces and angled ports of the baffle create a controlled pneumatic flow pattern that ensures adequate air supply for sustained combustion while preventing excessive air ingress that would destabilize the flame. The baffle effectively manages the pneumatic characteristics of air flow to maintain both stability and continuity.

The patent introduces a baffle structure as an intermediary element between the heat source and the user. The baffle is positioned to intercept and redirect hot gases and flames away from the base surface, creating a physical barrier that prevents direct contact with high-temperature areas. This intermediary structure allows combustion to proceed with sufficient heat generation while protecting the user from harmful thermal radiation and contact with hot surfaces.

The patent extracts and removes the accumulated combustible gas from the combustion chamber through the baffle structure. The baffle's inclined surfaces and ports create a flow path that actively removes accumulated gas, preventing dangerous concentrations from forming. By continuously extracting accumulated gas and preventing its buildup, the system eliminates the flash fire hazard while still allowing sufficient gas storage for sustained combustion.

The patent employs a simple, inexpensive baffle structure made from basic materials to solve the ignition safety problem. Instead of using complex and expensive systems like continuum ignition systems or piezo valves, the invention uses a straightforward mechanical baffle with inclined surfaces and angled ports that passively controls gas flow and prevents dangerous gas accumulation. This simple, low-cost structure provides adequate safety functionality without the complexity and high cost of advanced ignition control systems.
