BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a gas combustor, especially to a gas combustor having safety mechanism and pressure stabilizing mechanism, wherein when the safety mechanism is not operated, the gas combustor is in a locking state, after the safety mechanism is released and operated, ignition and combustion gas supply can be synchronously processed.

2. Description of Related Art

Gas combustors are commonly seen and used in our daily lives. But for a child, he/she may play with a gas combustor without being supervised because of his/her curiosity or imitating the adults. Therefore, a fire accident may occur due to the careless act and our lives and properties may be in danger. As such, in many cases, fire accidents caused by children playing with fire cannot be ignored. In a conventional gas combustor, the design of ignition switch is easy to be released based on the object of convenient in use, such design give the children a chance to play with the gas combustor, and unpredictable consequences become inevitable.

For the safety reasons, countries like the America and European Union have issued safety regulations regarding to gas combustor, and each gas combustor is required to be installed with a safety actuation device, take the U.S. Pat. No. 6,293,782 (corresponding to the Taiwan Patent NO. 446104), the U.S. Pat. No. 6,296,476 (corresponding to the Taiwan Patent NO. 449018), the U.S. Pat. No. 6,527,543 (corresponding to the Taiwan Patent No. 525749) and the U.S. Pat. No. 6,688,879 (corresponding to the Taiwan Patent NO. 534277) issued to the applicant of the present invention for instances, when a gas combustor is not operated, it is in a locking state; if the gas combustor is desired to be used, the safety actuation device has to be released before being operated. Because the releasing procedure increases the level of difficulty in use, a child could not release the locking state while playing with the gas combustor, thereby occurrences of accidents are decreased.

In fact, for providing the continuity for the combustion operation, a gas combustor may be directly pivoted to a canned gas, such act allows the combustion gas ejected by the gas combustor generate larger flame due to the high pressure releasing, for processing the continuous and large-scale combustion operation. However, when a user is processing a welding, soldering or drying operation, the canned gas is often used in an upside down manner. At this moment, the liquid gas may not be vaporized in time due to the high pressure releasing, so as to be ejected from the flame nozzle in the liquid state, incomplete combustion is therefore generated, thereby the combustion efficiency cannot be increased and accidents may take place.

Moreover, in some locations with lower temperature, because the environmental temperature is low, during the transformation from liquid to gaseous state in a canned gas, an incomplete oxidization may occur, thereby the combustion tool is not easy to be ignited.

As such, how to enable a gas combustor to effectively control the pressure of combustion gas for keeping in a constant pressure is an issue which shall be solved.

As shown from FIG. 1 to FIG. 8b, the gas combustor provided by the present invention substantially comprises a housing 1, a safety mechanism 2, a base seat 3, a pivotal connection device 4, a pressure stabilizing device 5 and a flame device 6.

The housing 1 is composed of a left housing shell 11 and a right housing shell 12 being engaged for housing other components, and plural tenons, slots, ribs are installed in the two housing shells for positioning and accommodating the other components. The assembly of the gas combustor of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, wherein the front of the housing 1 is detachably installed with the flame device 6 having various gas guiding components 65 with respect to the desired flame, and the bottom and the top of the housing 1 respectively allow plural button members of the safety mechanism 2 and a pressure adjusting button 56 of the pressure stabilizing device 5 to be exposed to the exterior, and the rear thereof is installed with the pivotal connection device 4 for being connected with a canned gas.

The safety mechanism 2 consists of a latch button 21, a connection rod 22 and a control button 23. The mentioned two buttons are respectively and protrudingly installed at an opening 13 preset at the bottom of the housing 1. The interior of the latch button 21 is longitudinally sleeved with a first resilient member 211 e.g. a spring, and the top thereof is abutted against a block sheet 14 preset in the left housing shell 11, and the top of the latch button 21 is transversally extended with a pivot shaft 212 pivoted in an elongated shaft hole 221 formed at one end of the L-shaped connection rod 22, the other end of the connection rod 22 is protrudingly installed with a latch end 222, a pivot hole 223 formed at the bended portion of the connection rod 22 is pivoted with the insertion pins 15 protrudingly formed in the left housing shell 11 and the right housing shell 12. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8a and FIG. 9a, when the latch button 21 is pressed, one end of the connection rod 22 is raised so the latch end 222 at the other end is inwardly retracted, thereby the locking state of the control button 23 is released and the control button 23 is enabled to be pressed.

The control button 23 is a cap member, the top opening thereof is formed with a stop end 231 at the location adjacent to the latch end 222 of the connection rod 22, as shown in FIG. 8a, the stop end 231 is formed in a locking state due to the interfere of the latch end 222. A hollow button chamber 232 of the control button 23 is longitudinally sleeved with a second resilient member 233, e.g. a spring, which is sleeved in a button tenon 234 protrudingly installed in the button chamber 232, the top of the second resilient member 233 is abutted against a pair of block tenons 16 preset in the left housing shell 11, so the control button 23 is equipped with an automatic recovery force. The left and the right sides of the control button 23 are oppositely protruded with a pair of guide posts 235 which are respectively accommodated in the guide slots 17 formed in the housing 1, such that the control button 23 is enabled to smoothly and longitudinally slide in the housing 1. Moreover, the front of the control button 23 is formed with a protruding rib 236, e.g. the top and the bottom of the protruding rib 236 are respectively formed with an extrusion part 236a and a buckle part 236b; as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the extrusion part 236a is an inward-inclined surface and the buckle part 236b is a convex tenon. As shown in FIG. 9a, the extrusion part 236a can be used to extrude a swing sheet 33 pivoted to the base seat 3, so as to control a gas intake control valve 32 installed in the base seat 3 for forming a combustion gas supply state.

Moreover, the present invention is further provided with a continuous button 24, which is protruded from the opening 13 at the front bottom of the housing 1, the continuous button 24 is transversally sleeved with a third resilient member 241, e.g. a spring, the rear thereof is abutted against a continuous block sheet 18 formed in the housing 1, such that the continuous button 24 is equipped with an automatic recovery function, wherein the bottom of the continuous button 24 is transversally extended with an extension sheet 242 having an engagement part 243, e.g. a buckle slot, at the inner end. When the control button 23 is pressed to be in a retracted state, the continuous button 24 is enabled to be directly pressed, so the engagement part 243 and the buckle part 236b form a buckle effect as shown in FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b, thereby after the control button 23 is no longer pressed by the external force, the control button 23 is not automatically recovered and the gas intake control valve 32 formed in the base seat 3 can continuously supply the combustion gas to the pressure stabilizing device 5.

The base seat 3 is an integrally-formed base seat member, a stepped seat hole 31 is formed at its axial direction, and the seat hole 31 allows the gas intake control valve 32 to be installed therein to control the supplying or terminating the combustion gas. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the gas intake control valve 32 inserts a valve rod 321 and a fourth resilient member 322, e.g. a spring, from the rear of the seat hole 31, and a rear end cover 323 is combined with the seat hole 31, such that a valve button 321a at the rear of the valve rod 321 can protrude from the rear end cover 323. The front of the seat hole 31 is in sequence installed with a thimble valve 324, a fifth resilient member 325, e.g. a spring, and a filter 326, for example copper particles being formed as a sintered member and inserted into a intermediate pipe 327 and combined at the front of the seat hole 31, so the filter 326 is accommodated in the intermediate pipe 327, and one end of the thimble valve 324 is sleeved with the fourth resilient member 322, and abutted against the valve rod 321, the fifth resilient member 325 is disposed between the other end thereof and the filter 326; lastly a front end cover 328 is combined with the intermediate pipe 327, thereby the procedure of installing the gas intake control valve 32 in the seat hole 31 is finished. And one end of a convey pipe 329 passes through the front end cover 328 and the intermediate pipe 327, and is disposed adjacent to the filter 326, the other end thereof is connected to the pivotal connection device 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b, the rear of the base seat 3 is pivoted with the swing sheet 33, the lateral surface thereof is adjacent to the valve button 321a, the bottom thereof has an inclined protruding hook 331 which is in contact with the extrusion part 236a, also formed in an inclined state, of the control button 23. As such, when the control button 23 is pressed, the extrusion part 236a extrudes the protruding hook 331 of the swing sheet 33, thereby the swing sheet 33 is moved and pressed toward the valve button 321a, as shown in FIG. 9a and FIG. 9b wherein the valve rod 321 compresses the fourth resilient member 332 and axially pushes the thimble valve 324, the fifth resilient member 325 is compressed so a seal ring 324a of the thimble valve 324 is removed from a neck hole 311 having a smaller aperture inside the seat hole 31. So the gaseous/liquid fuel conveyed by the convey pipe 329 can pass through the filter 326 and the neck hole 311, then enter an gas intake channel 312 longitudinally communicated to the top of the seat hole 31 so as to further enter a bottom plate 34 installed above the gas intake channel 312. The interior of the bottom plate 34 is formed with a cone-shaped bottom plate chamber 341, and the bottom thereof is transversally communicated with an engagement pipe 35.

The interior of the engagement pipe 35 is installed with a transversally-stepped pipe slot 351, a gas outtake control valve 36 is installed therein, the gas outtake control valve 36 has a thimble valve 361 having one end being sleeved with an eighth resilient member 362, e.g. a spring, and the other end being sleeved with a gas blocking ring 363 and a position ring 364 installed at the middle portion of the pipe slot 351. When a sleeve pipe 61 of the flame device 6 is not inserted in the front of the pipe slot 351, with the stretch effect of the eighth resilient member 362, a convex ring 361a of the thimble valve 361 is tightly adjacent to the gas blocking ring 363 for forming a combustion gas termination state. When the sleeve pipe 61 of the flame device 6 is inserted in the front of the pipe slot 351, a nozzle seat 611 at the rear of the sleeve pipe 61 pushes the thimble valve 361, the eighth resilient member 362 is therefore compressed and the combustion gas is allowed to pass through the gap defined between the convex ring 361a and the pipe slot 351 to enter a gas guiding pipe 361b inside the thimble valve 361, and is ejected from an ejection nozzle 612 installed at the front of the nozzle seat 611.

Moreover, the rear of the base seat 3 is longitudinally and protrudingly installed with a fasten seat 37 allowing the top of a piezoelectric device 38 to be installed, and the bottom of the piezoelectric device 38 is connected to the front of the control button 23. The piezoelectric device 38 has a wire 381 extended and connected to an electric conductive terminal 382 installed at the periphery of the opening 13 at the front of the housing 1, the rear of the electric conductive terminal 382 is sleeved with a ninth resilient member 383 so as to be retractable, and the electric conductive terminal 382 and the ninth resilient member 383 are both installed in a terminal seat 384.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the pivotal connection device 4 is fastened in the opening 13 at the rear of the housing 1, and has a connection ring 41 formed with a connection part 411 therein, and a ring hole 412 communicated with the front wall of the connection part 411. The connection part 411 is designed with respect to the joint part at the top of a canned gas, the connection part 411 can be, but not limited to, threads. A damping ring sheet 42 is installed between the inner wall of the ring hole 412 of the connection ring 41 and the connection part 411, and a joint part 431 at one end of a filling nozzle 43 passes through the ring sheet 42, the ring hole 412 and a fasten sheet 44, then is combined with a fasten end cover 45, and one end of the convey pipe 329 passes through the fasten end cover 45 and enters into the filling nozzle 43 for receiving the gaseous/liquid fuel stored in the canned gas. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8a, the interior of the filling nozzle 43 is in sequence installed with a thimble valve 432, a sixth resilient member 433 and an end plug 434 disposed in the fasten end cover 45. As such, when the connection ring 41 is connected to the canned gas, the gaseous/liquid fuel is introduced from the filling nozzle 43 and conveyed by the convey pipe 329 for entering the gas intake control valve 32 inside the seat hole 31 of the base seat 3. As a matter of fact, the connection ring 41 utilizes plural flanges 441 formed at the periphery of the fasten sheet 44 to be sleeved in a positioning slot correspondingly formed in the opening 13 at the rear of the housing 1 for the purpose of fastening.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the pressure stabilizing device 5 consists of a regulation valve 51, a partition membrane 52, a retractable spring 53 and a top plate 54. The regulation valve 51 utilizes a shaft tube 511 for being combined at the top of the gas intake channel 312, then a head part 512a formed at the bottom of an elevation rod 512 penetrates a seventh resilient member 513 then further passes through a central tube hole 511a of the shaft tube 511, then is sleeved with a seal ring 514; the top of the elevation rod 512 is combined at the bottom of the partition membrane 52. The partition membrane 52 is an elastic disc member made of a polymer material, and disposed between the bottom and the top plates, 34, 54, the periphery thereof is downwardly protruded with an annular angled tenon 521 so as to be received in a plate slot 342 preset at the top periphery of the bottom plate chamber 341, and be pressed by the periphery of the top plate 54. The partition membrane 52 has a membrane ring 522 having a thinner dimension at the inner edge of the angled tenon 521, the center of the top surface is upwardly extended with a protrusion ring 523, after being sleeved with the retractable spring 53, the retractable spring 53 is received in a top plate chamber 541 formed inside the top plate 54.

The technology feature of the pressure stabilizing device 5 is to be equipped with a function of adjusting pressure, i.e. the center of the top of the top plate 54 is longitudinally protruded with a top plate pipe 542 having a non-round positioning hole 543 at the top, and an elevation press block 55 having a cross shape corresponding to the positioning hole 543 is installed in the positioning hole 543, the bottom of the elevation press block 55 is adjacent to the retractable spring 53, the top thereof is connected to the pressure adjusting button 56 of the top plate pipe 542, the pressure adjusting button 56 is exposed outside the opening 13 at the top of the housing 1 for being easily to be operated. As such, when the pressure adjusting button 56 is rotated, the elevation press block 55 forms a compressing or stretching effect to the retractable spring 53, so as to adjust the pressure of the gaseous/liquid fuel entering the pressure stabilizing device 5. As shown in FIG. 8b, when the pressure adjusting button 56 is not operated, the retractable spring 53 applies a fixed pressure to the partition membrane 52, such that the seal ring 514 sleeved on the elevation rod 512 is disposed below the tube hole 511a of the shaft tube 511 for forming an opening state.

Referring to FIG. 6, for combing the bottom and the top plates 34, 54, the peripheries of the two plates are fastened with each other through conventional connection members, e.g. screws. But the combination means of the bottom and top plates 34, 54 is not limited by being combined through screws, the bottom and top plates 34, 54 can also be combined with a buckling or riveting means.

Referring to FIG. 9b, when the gas intake control valve 32 is pushed by the swing sheet 33 for being in the opening state, the gaseous/liquid fuel received by the pivotal connection device 4 is conveyed through the convey pipe 329 to pass through the seat hole 31 inside the base seat 3, the gas intake control valve 32, the gas intake channel 312 and the regulation valve 51 for being accommodated in the bottom plate chamber 341 below the partition membrane 52, such that the combustion gas is enabled to pass through the gas outtake control valve 36 in the engagement pipe 35 then ejected from the ejection nozzle 612 installed in the flame device 6; because the aperture of the ejection nozzle 612 is relatively smaller, excessive combustion gas or the liquid fuel which has not completely vaporized yet are rapidly filled and remained in the bottom plate chamber 341. As shown in FIG. 10b, when the pressure inside the bottom plate chamber 341 is rapidly increased, the partition membrane 52 is forced to upwardly move to compress the retractable spring 53, at this moment, the elevation rod 512 is upwardly moved and the seventh resilient member 513 is stretched, and the tube hole 511a is sealed through the seal ring 514 for terminating the gaseous/liquid fuel supply.

When the combustion gas inside the bottom plate chamber 341 is gradually ejected from the ejection nozzle 612, the pressure inside the bottom plate chamber 341 is decreased, so the retractable spring 53 is recovered, and the partition membrane 52 is downwardly pushed, so the elevation rod 512 is downwardly pushed and the seventh resilient member 513 is compressed, thereby the gaseous/liquid fuel supply state as shown in FIG. 9b is formed again. As a matter of fact, the speed of the fuel flowing between the base seat 3 and the pressure stabilizing device 5 is very fast, the partition membrane 52 and the elevation rod 512 are also rapidly and reciprocally moved, so the fuel can be completely vaporized to form the combustion gas, thereby a constant pressure effect is obtained.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the flame device 6 utilizes the sleeve pipe 61 to be sleeved in the engagement pipe 35, the rear of the sleeve pipe 61 is installed with a nozzle seat 611, the front thereof is installed with the ejection nozzle 612, the rear thereof is provided with a resilient engagement ring 613 and a guide ring 614, the interior of the guide ring 614 is formed with an inclined surface to guide the thimble valve 361 to be inserted in the engagement ring 613, such that the combustion gas which is completely vaporized and having a constant pressure is ejected from the ejection nozzle 612. The middle portion of the sleeve pipe 61 is formed with plural ventilation holes 615 allowing air to be introduced from an air guiding slot 19 preset at the periphery of the opening 13 at the front of the housing 1 then enter the sleeve pipe 61 via the ventilation holes 615 for being mixed with the combustion gas ejected from the ejection nozzle 612.

Moreover, the sleeve pipe 61 is provided with a detach seat 62 having an outer pipe 63 inside for being connected to a conventional connection member, e.g. a screw, passing through a positioning convex block 621 radially preset at the rear portion of the detach seat 62 and the outer pipe 63, then being fastened with the sleeve pipe 61. The detach seat 62 is radially protruded with a seat ring 622, a notch of the seat ring 622 is fastened with a contact terminal 623 which is received in a terminal slot 625 integrally extended at the front of the seat ring 622, and a seal cover 626 is used to seal the terminal slot 625, a wire 624 connected to the contact terminal 623 enters the outer pipe 63 and one end of the wire 624 is fastened with a wire positioning ring 64 installed at the inner front end of the outer pipe 63.

For generating a special flame effect, another gas guiding component 65 is installed in the flame pipe 66, and a connection ring cover 67 is sleeved on the flame pipe 66, and abutted against a flange 661 formed at the rear, then combined at the front of the outer pipe 63. The front of the gas guiding component 65 can be provided with, e.g. but not limited to, inclined guiding sheets 651 rotating toward the same direction, so when the mixed combustion gas passes through the inclined guiding sheets 651, a turbine flame can be formed for enhancing the combustion effect.

When the flame device 6 is connected to the engagement pipe 35, the positioning convex block 621 is aimed and inserted into a concave slot 131 radially formed in the opening 13 at the front of the housing 1, because the positioning convex block 621 is restrained by the stop block 132 at the rear of the opening 13 as shown in FIG. 3, the positioning convex block 621 can only be rotated to a pre-determined angle, e.g. 90 degrees, toward one direction, such that the positioning convex block 621 is abutted against the inner wall of the opening 13, and the sleeve pipe 61 is inserted in the pipe slot 351 of the engagement pipe 35, such that an airtight connection is formed between the gas outtake control valve 36 and the nozzle seat 611, and the seat ring 622 of the detach seat 62 rotates along the electric conductive terminal 382 till the notch at the rear of the contact terminal 623 being moved to be in contact with the electric conductive terminal 382, so as to form an electrical connection. If the flame device 6 is desired to be detached, only an operation of reverse rotation is needed to be processed to allow the positioning convex block 621 to be in contact with the stop block 132 for removing the flame device 6, such that the electric conductive terminal 382 and the contact terminal 623 and the gas outtake control valve 36 and the nozzle seat 611 are separated, thereby the gas outtake control valve 36 is in the closing state for stopping the ejection of the combustion gas.

When the piezoelectric device 38 is compressed, the generated static electricity is transmitted through the wire 371, the electric conductive terminal 382, the contact terminal 623 and the wire 624, and sparks are generated between the wire 624 and the inner wall of the flame pipe 66 so as to ignite the mixed combustion gas passing the gas guiding component 65.

In actual practice, please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b, a user holds the housing 1 with one hand, the recessed part between the thumb and the index finger of the user abuts the protrusion part at the rear of the pressure adjusting button 56, then uses his middle finger to press the latching button 21, such that the latch end 222 of the connection rod 22 pivoted above is backwardly moved for releasing the locking state of the control button 23; then the user uses his index finger to press the control button 23, so during the upward movement, the swing sheet 33 of the base seat 3 is actuated and the piezoelectric device 38 is compressed, such that the swing sheet 33 pushes the gas intake control valve 32 in the base seat 3, for forming the opening state as shown in FIG. 9a and FIG. 9b.

At this moment, the gas/liquid fuel supplied by the canned gas, which is connected with the pivotal connection device 4, passes through the convey pipe 329, the seat hole 31, the gas intake control valve 32, the gas intake channel 312, the regulation valve 51 to the location of the partition membrane 52 for processing pressure stabilizing, then passes through the gas outtake control valve 36 of the engagement pipe 35 for being ejected from the ejection nozzle 612 in the sleeve pipe 61, so the combustion gas which is completely vaporized and having a constant pressure is ejected into the sleeve pipe 61 for being mixed with air, the mixed combustion gas passes through the outer pipe 63 for entering the flame pipe 66, and formed as a special airflow through the guiding effect of the gas guiding component 65 then ejected from the pipe opening; the static electricity generated by the piezoelectric device 38 which is synchronously pressed by the control button 23 is transmitted by the wires 381, 624 for generating sparks at the inner wall of the flame pipe 66 so as to ignite the mixed combustion gas for processing the combustion operation.

As shown in FIG. 10a, the user uses another hand to press the continuous button 24, and the extension sheet 242 extends to the front bottom of the control button 23, so the engagement part 243 of the continuous button 24 is buckled with the buckle part 236b at the front bottom of the control button 23. At this moment, the user can release his index finger, and the fuel in the canned gas can be continuously supplied to the flame pipe 66 for the purpose of combustion.
