DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without involving any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

Embodiment I of Spiral Air Supplement Mechanism

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a spiral air supplement mechanism is characterized by comprising a guide cylinder 1. An outer surface of the guide cylinder 1 is provided with an air supplement support plate 2. An outer side of the guide cylinder 1 is sleeved with an air guide hood 3. Air supplement ports 20 are uniformly provided on the air supplement support plate 2. A surface of the guide cylinder 1 is provided with a plurality of spiral guide assemblies 4. A lower end of the spiral guide assembly 4 communicates with the air supplement port. An upper end extends to an end of the guide cylinder. The spiral guide assemblies 4 are used for forming an air flow entering from the air supplement port into a spiral air flow.

The present utility model designs a spiral air supplement mechanism, which can introduce air into the air guide hood, improve the combustion environment in the middle and upper parts of the air guide hood, make the combustion more sufficient, and improve the combustion efficiency. Furthermore, the air flow entering from the spiral guide assembly has a spiral rising trend, thereby driving the flame in the air guide hood to spiral up, changing the shape of flame combustion, and improving the ornamental value of the flame. It also increases the combustion height of the flame.

The spiral guide assembly 4 in the present embodiment includes a set of guide plates 40 arranged in parallel and spirally on the outer surface of the guide cylinder 1. The ends of the guide plates 40 are closely adhered to the inner wall of the air guide hood 3. Two guide plates, the outer wall of the guide cylinder and the inner wall of the air guide hood form a spiral guide passage for the flow of air. In the present embodiment, the inner wall of the air guide hood must be adhered to the ends of the guide plates so as to ensure the leak-proof-ness of the spiral guide passage, and the air passing there through can obtain a better speed and direction.

Embodiment II of Spiral Air Supplement Mechanism

The other structures in the present embodiment are the same as the structure of Embodiment I of the spiral air supplement mechanism, and the difference lies in that the structure of the spiral guide assembly is different. With reference to FIG. 3, the spiral guide assembly 4 in the present embodiment includes a set of guide plates 40 arranged in parallel and spirally on the outer surface of the guide cylinder 1, and further includes an outer guide cylinder 41. The outer guide cylinder 41 is covered on the outer side of the guide plate and the lower end thereof is connected to the air supplement support plate 2. The end of the guide plate is closely adhered to the inner wall of the outer guide cylinder. The air guide hood 3 is covered on the outer guide cylinder 41. Two guide plates, the outer wall of the guide cylinder and the inner wall of the outer guide cylinder form a spiral guide passage for the flow of air. At this time, the diameter of the air guide hood is not required to match with the diameter of the outer guide cylinder, reducing the need for the machining accuracy of the air guide hood, and facilitating the assembly of the air guide hood.

Embodiment III of Spiral Air Supplement Mechanism

The other structures in the present embodiment are the same as the structure of Embodiment I of the spiral air supplement mechanism, and the difference lies in that the structure of the spiral guide assembly is different. With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the spiral guide assembly 4 in the present embodiment includes a set of guide plates 40 arranged in parallel and spirally on the outer surface of the guide cylinder, and further includes a sealing cover plate 42 connected to the end of the guide plates. Two guide plates, a sealing cover plate and an outer wall of the guide cylinder form a spiral guide passage for the flow of air. The sealing cover plate can be connected to the guide plates by means of welding, and can also be integrally formed with the guide plates by means of bending and forming. Since the guide plate, the sealing cover plate and the guide cylinder form a sealed spiral guide passage, the diameter of the air guide hood at this time does not need to be fitted with the outer end of the guide plate, reducing the need for machining accuracy of the air guide hood, and facilitating the assembly of the air guide hood.

Gas Heater Embodiment

With reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, a gas heater includes a furnace end 5 and a heater housing 6 successively arranged. The heater housing 6 is provided with a furnace end mounting hole 60, and the furnace end 5 is mounted in the furnace end mounting hole and is fixedly connected to the heater housing 6.

The intake cover piece is used to surround the outside of the spiral air supplement mechanism to improve the overall aesthetics of the device.

Further, air inlets 80 are uniformly provided on the outer surface of the air inlet casing 8.

With reference to FIG. 9, it further includes a support member for supporting the air inlet casing so that a ventilation gap is provided between the lower end of the air inlet casing and the heater housing. Here, the connection relationship between the air inlet casing and the heater housing is formed by providing a support member. On the one hand, the air inlet casing is effectively supported, and on the other hand, the ventilation gap formed can better ensure the inflow of air. The support member is a plurality of support sheets fixedly connected to the heater housing, and one side of the upper surface of the support sheet forms a sunken bearing surface. The end of the air inlet casing is connected to the bearing surface, or a plurality of support legs are welded or directly pressed and formed at the lower end of the protective cover. The lower ends of the support legs are connected to the housing.

Further, a furnace end fixing plate 61 is fixed to a lower end of the heater housing 6. The furnace end 5 is located inside the furnace end fixing plate which is a U-shaped plate. The furnace end is arranged in the U-shaped plate. Two ends of the U-shaped plate extend to form a horizontal plate connected to the heater housing, and the horizontal plate is connected to the heater housing via a fastener.

The air guide hood described in the present application is a transparent pipe. A user can observe the shape of a flame inside the air guide hood. The air guide hood is preferably made of glass.
