The present disclosure relates to the technical field of stoves, and in particular, to a decorative gas stove.
As people's material life becomes wealthy, their pursuit of spirituality is growing day by day. Stoves are normally used for heating people or objects. In addition to that, people are more concerned about their value as a new ornamental object. At present, there have appeared many kinds of decorative stoves. For example, some stoves adopt volcanic stone, broken glass and others as the stove media to make the burning state of the flowing gas closer to the natural flame by burning wood. Some stoves are placed in front of the water features as decorations. Furthermore, there are even some stoves with a burning area in the middle surrounded by flowing water, which is designed to simulate a fire in water for displaying unique ornamental features.
In fact, whether the stoves placed in front of the water features or the stoves with water surrounding the burning area, have an ornamental value to some extent, but still cannot reach the real ornamental effect of the flame burning on the water.
The present disclosure mainly aims to provide a decorative gas stove to solve the existing technical problem that the existing stoves cannot reach a vivid viewing effect of the flame burning on the water.
In order to achieve the above objective, the present disclosure provides a decorative gas stove. The decorative gas stove includes a stove body and a viewing platform. A cavity is defined in the stove body. An energy device is provided inside the cavity for storing gaseous fuel. A supply pipe is provided inside the cavity for transporting the gaseous fuel. A water tank is provided on an upper end of the stove body and a bottom of the water tank is defined with a plurality of air outlet holes communicated with the supply pipe. An ignition portion is provided on a side wall of the water tank for igniting the gaseous fuel flowing to a water surface through the air outlet holes when the water tank is stored with water.
In some embodiments, the decorative gas stove further includes an anti-backflow structure configured to prevent the water in the water tank from flowing back to the supply pipe, the anti-backflow structure includes:
In some embodiments, the anti-backflow structure further includes a limiting portion provided inside the gas supply cavity and located at the plugging position, and the limiting portion is configured to resist and restrict the movable plugging portion at the plugging position when the reset portion pushes the movable plugging portion to move.
In some embodiments, the energy device includes a high pressure gas-supply system communicated with the supply pipe and configured to depressurize the gaseous fuel.
In some embodiments, the water tank is defined with an overflow hole configured to drain the water from the water tank to an outside, and a height of the overflow hole is less than a height of the ignition portion.
In some embodiments, the decorative gas stove further includes:
In some embodiments, each of the air outlet holes is respectively communicated with each of the supply branches, and
In some embodiments, the stove body further includes a storage table provided at the upper end of the stove body, a center of the storage table is defined with an installation port for installing the water tank, and a side of the storage table is provided with a storage area for placing objects.
In some embodiments, a viewing glass for firebreak is provided on the storage table and around the installation port, the viewing glass includes:
In some embodiments, a thermal insulation structure is provided on a side of the viewing glass away from the water tank; and/or
In the technical solution of the present disclosure, a plurality of air outlet holes communicated with the supply pipe of the energy device are provided at the bottom of the water tank. When water is put into the water tank and the stove is turned on, the energy device delivers gaseous fuel to the air outlet holes through the supply pipe, the gaseous fuel escapes from the bottom of the water tank to the water surface, and the gas fuel escaping to the water surface is ignited by the ignition portion. Thus, the gaseous fuel burns on the water surface and produces flame, thereby achieving the ornamental effect of flame burning on water.

As people's material life become wealthy, their pursuit of spirituality is growing day by day. Stoves are normally used for heating people or objects. In addition to that, people are more concerned about their value as a new ornamental object. At present, there have appeared many kinds of decorative stoves. For example, some stoves adopt volcanic stone, broken glass and others as the stove media to make the burning state of the flowing gas closer to the natural flame by burning wood. Some stoves are placed in front of the water features as decorations. Furthermore, there are even some stoves with a burning area in the middle surrounded by flowing water, which is designed to simulate a fire in water for displaying unique ornamental features.
In fact, whether the stoves placed in front of the water features or the stoves with water surrounding the burning area, have an ornamental value to some extend, but still cannot reach the real ornamental effect of the flame burning on the water.
In order to solve the above mentioned problems, the disclosure provides a decorative gas stove.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure (hereinafter some embodiments), as shown in
In the technical solution of the present disclosure, a plurality of air outlet holes 211 communicated with the supply pipe 13 of the energy device 12 are provided at the bottom of the water tank 21. When water is put into the water tank 21 and the stove is turned on, the energy device 12 delivers gaseous fuel to the air outlet holes 211 through the supply pipe 13, the gaseous fuel escapes from the bottom of the water tank 21 to the water surface, and the gas fuel escaping to the water surface is ignited by the ignition portion 22. Thus, the gaseous fuel burns on the water surface and produces flame, thereby achieving the ornamental effect of flame burning on water.
In order to prevent the water in the water tank 21 from flowing back to the solenoid valve 4 and the supply pipe 13, the anti-backflow structure 3 includes a gas supply cavity 31, a movable plugging portion 32 and a reset portion 33. The gas supply cavity 31 is provided under the bottom of the water tank 21 and communicated with the supply pipe 13 and the air outlet holes 211. The movable plugging portion 32 is provided inside the gas supply cavity 31 and configured to move to a plugging position for plugging the air outlet holes 211 and to move to an avoidance position for communicating the supply pipe 13 and the air outlet holes 211. When the movable plugging portion 32 is located at the plugging position, the movable plugging portion 32 may plug the air outlet holes 211 when the gaseous fuel is not transported, thereby to prevent water from flowing back to the gas supply cavity 31. When the plugging portion is located at the avoidance position, the air outlet holes 211 are not blocked by the plugging portion, and the gaseous fuel may escape to the water surface from the air outlet holes 211. The movable plugging portion 32 is pushed from the plugging position to the avoidance position by the gaseous fuel due to the high pressure of gaseous fuel, when the energy device 12 outputs the gaseous fuel into the gas supply cavity 31, thereby to supplying the gaseous fuel. The reset portion 33 is provided inside the gas supply cavity 31 and opposite to the supply pipe 13. The reset portion 33 is configured to push the movable plugging portion 32 from the avoidance position to the plugging position when the energy device 12 stops supplying gaseous fuel, such that the air outlet holes 211 are blocked again to prevent the water from flowing back to the gas supply cavity 31, that is to say, the water is also prevented from flowing back to the supply pipe 13. The specific structure of the reset portion 33 is not limited, but may realize that when the pressure provided by the gaseous fuel disappears, the reset portion 33 may push the movable plugging portion 32 to the plugging position, thereby to block the air outlet holes 211. In some embodiments, the reset portion 33 is a spring, one end of the spring is against the inner wall of the gas supply cavity 31 on the side opposite to the supply pipe 13, and the other end of the spring is against the movable plugging portion 32.
In order to make sure that the reset portion 33 may push the movable plugging portion 32 to accurately move to the plugging position in case of stopping gas fuel delivery. As shown in
In order to make the gaseous fuel have such a enough pressure to push the movable plugging portion 32 to move when the gaseous fuel is transported, the energy device 12 includes a high pressure gas-supply system communicated with the supply pipe 13 and configured to adjust the gaseous fuel, generally to reduce the pressure. Thus, the pressure of the gaseous fuel may be adjusted to a suitable range, such that the gas fuel can reach the desired rated pressure and can push the movable plugging portion 32 to move. Meanwhile, the problem of water flowing back during the discharge of the gaseous fuel may be solved when the gaseous fuel has a sufficient discharge rate from the air outlet holes 211, thereby to control the burning range of the gaseous fuel to some extent when the gaseous fuel escapes from the air outlet holes 211 to the water surface, which may improve the manageability of the combustion flame.
In order to avoid the water in the water tank 21 from interfering with the ignition of the gaseous fuel by the ignition portion 22, as shown in
To specifically achieve ignition of the gaseous fuel escaping from the water surface by the ignition portion 22, the decorative gas stove 100 further includes a solenoid valve 4 provided on the supply pipe 13 for dividing the supply pipe 13 into a plurality of supply branches 131, and the ignition portion 22 is communicated with part of the supply branches 131. Thus, the gaseous fuel may be supplied to the ignition portion 22 through the supply branches 131. The decorative gas stove 100 also includes a pulse igniter 6. As shown in
To achieve the adjustment of the size of the ornamental flame to produce different ornamental effects, as shown in
In order to install the water tank 21 on the stove body 1, as shown in
To ensure the safety of viewing the water flames, and meanwhile to avoid affecting the viewing effect of the water flames, as shown in
In order to fix the water tank 21 at the installation port 141 and to define the installation position of the viewing glass 7 on the storage table 14, the storage table 14 is provided with a fixing block 15. The fixing block 15 is provided at intervals at the edge of the side wall of the water tank 21, to fix and lock the water tank 21 in the installation port 141, thereby to prevent accidents such as the water tank 21 falling out of the installation port 141. The viewing glass 7 is provided around the side wall of the water tank 21, such that the fixing block 15 may abut against the lower part of the viewing glass 7 at multiple positions on the edge of the side wall of the water tank 21, thereby to limit the installation position of the viewing glass 7. In some embodiments, the installation port 141 and the corresponding water tank 21 are rectangular. In order to fix the water tank 21 at the installation port 141, the four corners of the installation port 141 are respectively provided with the fixing block 15, and through holes are defined on the fixing block 15 and the water tank 21. By screws simultaneously passing through the through holes on the fixing block 15 and the water tank 21, the water tank 21 may be fixed at the installation port 141 by screws. Meanwhile, because the fixing block 15 is provided at the four corners of the water tank 21, the surface facing each glass of the fixing block 15 is set as a plane, thereby to simultaneously abut against and adhere to the surfaces of two adjacent glasses of the viewing glass 7, which may realize the limitation of the viewing glass 7.
Since the flame continues to burn, the temperature of the viewing glass 7 will increase, and it is difficult for the viewing glass 7 made of current materials to pass the temperature rise test and meet the safety regulations without affecting the viewing effect. A thermal insulation structure 8 is provided on a side of the viewing glass 7 away from the water tank 21, which is used to prevent people from burning caused by direct contact with the viewing glass 7 during viewing. In some embodiments of the present invention, the thermal insulation structure 8 may be wire mesh, and the diameter of the wire mesh may be relatively large, thereby to avoid affecting the viewing effect of the flame on the water as much as possible.
The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not limit the scope of the present disclosure thereto. Under the concept of the present disclosure, equivalent structural transformations made according to the description and drawings of the present disclosure, or direct/indirect disclosure in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present disclosure.
