The biomass fuel burning furnace 100 mentioned above conveys the biomass fuel to the fuel inlet 15 through the fuel-input funnel 70. Oxygen inflow through the first air inlet 14. The furnace body 10 is configured to include three combustion chambers. The first combustion chamber 11 is used for the initial combustion of biomass fuel. The part that is not burned out becomes flue gas, which enters the second combustion chamber 12, burns in the second combustion chamber 12, and also mixes with oxygen to obtain the mixture to be combusted. The mixture to be combusted enters the third combustion chamber 13 to be completely combusted and the flame produced by combustion is directed upward through a range restricted by the combustion guide conduit 20 to be used for heating, water heating, food cooking, and so on. By providing a combustion guide conduit 20 with a certain length, the flue gas in the mixture to be combusted causes a chimney effect when combusting in the combustion guide conduit 20, so that the hot air flow in the combustion guide conduit 20 creates an intensive convection, creating a negative pumping force at a lower end of the combustion guide conduit 20, which contributes to the atmospheric pressure that presses the external oxygen from the first air inlet 14 to the furnace body 10, so that the oxygen and the flue gas inside the second combustion chamber 12 as well as the flue gas inside the third combustion chamber 13 are further mixed, which contributes to the complete combustion of the flue gas and increases the speed of the flames when ejected from the combustion guide conduit 20. Also, by providing a revolving door 90 on the fuel-input funnel 70 to open and close the adjustable air inlet 723 on the fuel-input funnel 70, when the biomass fuel in the fuel-input funnel 70 finishes combusting, the revolving door 90 may automatically open by gravity, and oxygen may flow into the fuel-input funnel 70 through the adjustable air inlet 723 to break the chimney effect formed by the fuel-input funnel 70, so as to avoid a phenomenon of returning smoke when the flue gas in the combustion guide conduit 20 is returned to the fuel-input funnel 70, which contributes to the complete combustion of the flue gas in the fuel-input funnel 70, and avoids the pollution of the environment by the flue gas. In such a setup, the furnace body 10 in the present embodiment is configured to include three combustion chambers, which achieves staged complete combustion of biomass fuels, which achieves efficient utilization of biomass fuels and avoids pollution of the environment by emitting unburnt flue gases into the air. Also, the combustion efficiency of the biomass fuel is effectively improved by providing the combustion guide conduit 20 to take advantage of the chimney effect.
Specifically, referring to
Specifically, for facilitating the setup of the second combustion chamber 12, a part of the combustion guide conduit 20 is provided within the third combustion chamber 13, and the enclosing frame 17 is provided outside the combustion guide conduit 20, and the second combustion chamber 12 is formed by enclosing between the enclosing frame 17 and the combustion guide conduit 20. In such a setup, the second combustion chamber 12 is formed by setting a part of the combustion guide conduit 20 within the third combustion chamber 13, and by setting the enclosing frame 17 outside the combustion guide conduit 20, which facilitates the setting of the second combustion chamber 12. Compared with the way of designing the second combustion chamber 12 by the enclosing frame 17 itself, it is sufficient to set the enclosing frame 17 and the combustion guide conduit 20 to have a gap between them, and the second combustion chamber 12 is formed.
Specifically, referring to
It is to be understood that, in order to facilitate the inflow of oxygen from the housing 16 into the second combustion chamber 12, a gap is provided between the vertical enclosing plates 173 and the housing 16, though which the oxygen may inflow.
Further, in order to allow the mixture to be combusted produced in the second combustion chamber 12 to quickly enter the combustion guide conduit 20 for combustion, a part of the combustion guide conduit 20 enclosed by the vertical enclosing plates 173 is provided with a third air inlet 21, and the third air inlet 21 is connected to the second combustion chamber 12. In such a setup, the mixture to be combusted in the second combustion chamber 12 may directly and quickly enter into the combustion guide conduit 20 to allow the flue gases in the mixture to be combusted to be burned in the combustion guide conduit 20 and the flame to be directed out by the combustion guide conduit 20, avoiding lowering the temperature of the mixture to be combusted by means of flowing from the first air outlet 172 through the third combustion chamber 13 and then into the combustion guide conduit 20. Also, the particles being combusted within the second combustion chamber 12 flame up from the third air inlet 21 to contribute to the combustion of the combustible material to be combusted within the combustion guide conduit 20.
Moreover, in order to facilitate the entry of the mixture to be combusted into the combustion guide conduit 20, a first gap 175 is provided on a side of the enclosing frame 17 facing the first combustion chamber 11, the combustion guide conduit 20 is provided with a second gap 22 in an area corresponding to the first gap 175, and a projected arc formed by the second gap 22 on a reference plane in a vertical direction is at least a quarter of the projected circumference formed by the combustion guide conduit 20 on the reference plane. In such a setup, by providing a first gap 175 on the enclosing plates, a larger flow area is available, allowing the flue gases as well as the mixture to be combusted to flow quickly from the second combustion chamber 12 into the combustion guide conduit 20, while the combustion guide conduit 20 is provided with a second gap 22 corresponding to the position of the first gap 175. Due to the Coanda effect, the fluid has a tendency to flow with a surface of the object instead of an original flow direction. Also, since an inner wall of the combustion guide conduit 20 is not absolutely smooth and has protrusions, and the fluid is viscous, the flue gases, as well as the mixture to be combusted, have a tendency to flow along the inner wall of the combustion guide conduit 20 so as to flow along a tangential direction of the combustion guide conduit 20, thereby forming a spiral upward flow pattern. Compared to the combustion mode of direct vertical upward flow along an axial direction of the combustion guide conduit 20, the spiral upward flow takes a longer travel path. Since a length of the combustion guide conduit 20 is a certain length, the combustion time within the combustion guide conduit 20 is a certain period, which leads to a greater flow speed of the spiral flow of the substance to be combusted in order to provide the substance to be combusted with greater firepower for combustion, which contributes to the rapid combustion of the flue gases, as well as the substance to be combusted, within the combustion guide conduit 20. Also, in conjunction with the chimney effect, a greater pumping force is generated, and air is pressed into the first air inlet 14 more rapidly, achieving rapid mixing of the air in the third combustion chamber 13 and the flue gases in the combustion guide conduit 20.
It is to be understood that, in order to ensure the spiral effect of the airflow on an inner wall of the combustion guide conduit 20, a projected arc formed by the second gap 22 on a reference plane in a vertical direction is required to be less than or equal to half of a projected circumference formed by the combustion guide conduit 20 on the reference plane.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, a side wall of the second section 24 is provided with a plurality of fourth air inlets 241, and a side wall of the third section 25 is provided with a plurality of fifth air inlets 251. The plurality of fourth air inlets 241 are provided in a straight line in a vertical direction, and the plurality of fifth air inlets 251 are provided in a circumferential array on the third section 25.
Referring to
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first air inlet 14 is configured to be in a long-strip shape and is disposed in a horizontal direction, and the height where the first air inlet 14 is opened is relatively low. In such a setup, in conveying oxygen to the second combustion chamber 12 and the third combustion chamber 13 through the first air inlet 14, it is avoided to result in lowering the temperature inside the second combustion chamber 12 and the third combustion chamber 13 due to the opening area of the first air inlet 14 being excessively large, and by providing the first air inlet 14 with a relatively small opening area, the flue gases inside the combustion guide conduit 20 may generate a negative pressure inside the combustion guide conduit 20 by the chimney effect when being combusted, and it is avoided that the negative pressure environment inside the combustion guide conduit 20 may be broken due to the opening area of the first air inlet 14 being relatively large.
Additionally, referring to
Specifically, in the present embodiment, when setting the sixth air inlet 31 outside the heat storage cover 30, the sixth air inlet 31 is provided at an end of the heat storage cover 30 connected to the furnace body 10, i.e., at a lower end part of the heat storage cover 30, so as to allow the oxygen entering the sixth air inlet 31 at the lower end part to flow gradually upwardly to flow into the second section 24 and the third section 25 of the combustion guide conduit 20 through the fourth air inlet 241 and the fifth air inlet 251.

Specifically, the fuel-guiding shelf 60 in the present embodiment is provided to be positioned above the first support 40, and the heating element on the first support 40 is positioned below the biomass fuel, so that the heating element on below heats the biomass fuel on above. The heated biomass fuel burns gradually, and the heat is transferred to the inside of the biomass fuel sequentially from bottom to top, which contributes to the combustion of the biomass fuel.
Further, referring to
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the fuel-guiding shelf 60 includes a plurality of fuel-guiding tubes 62 and a plurality of connecting tubes 63. The plurality of fuel-guiding tubes 62 are spaced apart, between each adjacent two fuel-guiding tubes 62 is the air inlet gap 61, each fuel-guiding tube 62 is provided angled upwardly in a direction distal to the second combustion chamber 12, and the plurality of connecting tubes 63 are connected to the fuel-guiding tubes 62 respectively, i.e., the fuel-guiding shelf 60 is provided in a form of a supporting frame formed by a plurality of tubes connected to each other, so as to allow for setting up the air inlet gap 61 between the tubes, so that oxygen may effectively enter into the biomass fuel positioned on above through the gaps between the tubes.

Further, in order to allow the biomass fuel within the buffer section 72 to flow to the fuel inlet 15, the buffer section 72 is provided at an angle corresponding to a side wall of the fuel-guiding part 82, and the side wall and the fuel-guiding part 82 share a same angled direction. For facilitating the description, the angled provided side wall is defined as the angled side wall 722. In such a setup, by setting the angled side wall 722, the biomass fuel is guided to gradually move toward a bottom of the fuel-guiding part 82.

The restricting part 714 is provided with a sliding slot 716 for sliding the sliding separator 80, while restricting the sliding separator 80 to slide in a straight line in the X direction. Specifically, in sliding relative to the restricting part 714, the barrier part 81 includes a horizontal plate 812 and a vertical plate 813, the horizontal plate 812 is provided with a fuel-input opening 811 for being in communication with the communicating opening 721, and the vertical plate 813 is used to slide along the restricting part 714 in the sliding slot 716, so as to drive the crossing and overlapping between the fuel-input opening 811 and the communicating opening 721 of the buffer section 72, so as to achieve the closure and opening of the fuel inlet 15 of the furnace body 10.
Further, for facilitating mounting of the fuel-input section 71 and the sliding separator 80, the buffer section 72 includes a buffer part 724 and a mounting part 725 disposed at a top of the buffer part 724, in which the mounting part 725 is provided with a communicating opening 721, and the mounting part 725 includes a mounting plate 7251 and an insertion plate 7252, with the mounting plate 7251 disposed in a horizontal direction, and the insertion plate 7252 disposed in a vertical direction.

In such a setup, by setting a third gap 715 on a side of the guiding part 713 along the movement direction X, when the sliding separator 80 is slid along the X direction to perform a closure of the fuel inlet 15, the biomass fuel within the fuel-input section 71 may gradually move along the third gap 715 under the support of the horizontal plate 812, so as to achieve for a slow release of the pressure, and to avoid an excessive resistance to the movement of the sliding separator 80 due to the accumulated biomass fuel when the sliding separator 80 is being pulled.

It is to be understood that, since the gravity center of the revolving door 90 and the center of the rotating shaft deviate from each other, the center of the entire revolving door 90 in the present embodiment is positioned on the retainment plate 91, but the center of the rotating shaft is positioned on the connecting center of the two connecting holes 921. In such a setup, when the biomass fuel in the buffer section 72 is burned out, the revolving door 90 is rotated around the rotating axis so as to disengage the adjustable air inlet 723 in order to achieve the opening of the adjustable air inlet 723, thereby avoiding the return of smoke in the buffer section 72.
Further, after the biomass fuel in the buffer section 72 finishes combustion, in order to allow more rapid entry of air into the buffer section 72, the retainment plate 91 may be provided with an eighth air inlet 911, so that the air entering from the adjustable air inlet 723 may also flow rapidly from the eighth air inlet 911 into the buffer section 72.
In the biomass fuel burning furnace 100 mentioned above, the furnace body 10 is configured to include the first combustion chamber 11, the second combustion chamber 12, and the third combustion chamber 13. The first combustion chamber 11 is used for the initial combustion of biomass fuel. The flue gas particles mix with oxygen in the second combustion chamber 12 to obtain the mixture to be combusted. The flue gases in the mixture to be combusted enter the third combustion chamber 13 to be completely combusted and the flame produced by combustion is directed rapidly through the combustion guide conduit 20. The furnace body 10 is further provided with a fuel-input funnel 70 to continuously convey biomass fuel to the furnace body, which ensures the first combustion chamber 11 to be in a state of continuous combustion. The fuel-input funnel 70 is configured to include the fuel-input section 71, the buffer section 72, and the sliding separator 80, in which the sliding separator 80 closes or opens the fuel inlet 15, which prevents spontaneous combustion of the biomass fuel above the sliding separator 80 after the sliding separator 80 closes against the fuel inlet 15. The buffer section 72 is configured with the revolving door 90 and the adjustable air inlet 723, so that the revolving door 90 is capable of opening and closing the adjustable air inlet 723 to avoid the presence of flue gases flowing from the combustion guide conduit 20 in the buffer section 72, i.e., avoid the phenomenon of returning flue gases.
In summary, the biomass fuel burning furnace provided in the present disclosure has technical effects as follows:
The biomass fuel is conveyed through the fuel inlet. Oxygen inflow through the first air inlet. The furnace body is configured to include three combustion chambers. The first combustion chamber is used for the initial combustion of biomass fuel. The part that is not burned out becomes flue gas, which enters the second combustion chamber, burns in the second combustion chamber, and also mixes with oxygen to obtain the mixture to be combusted. The mixture to be combusted enters the third combustion chamber to be completely combusted and the flame produced by combustion is directed upward through a range restricted by the combustion guide conduit to be used for heating, water heating, food cooking, and so on. By providing a combustion guide conduit with a certain length, the flue gas in the mixture to be combusted causes a chimney effect when being combusted in the combustion guide conduit, so that the hot air flow in the combustion guide conduit creates an intensive convection, creating a negative pumping force at a lower end of the combustion guide conduit, which contributes to the atmospheric pressure that presses the external oxygen from the first air inlet to the furnace body, so that the oxygen and the flue gas inside the second combustion chamber, as well as the flue gas inside the third combustion chamber, are further mixed, which contributes to the complete combustion of the flue gas and increases the speed of the flames when ejected from the combustion guide conduit. Also, by providing a revolving door on the fuel-input funnel to open and close the adjustable air inlet on the fuel-input funnel, when the biomass fuel in the fuel-input funnel finishes being combusted, the revolving door may automatically open by gravity, and oxygen may flow into the fuel-input funnel through the adjustable air inlet to break the chimney effect formed by the fuel-input funnel, so as to avoid the phenomenon of returning smoke when the flue gas in the combustion guide conduit is returned to the fuel-input funnel, which contributes to the complete combustion of the flue gas in the fuel-input funnel, and avoids the pollution of the environment by the flue gas.
