The present invention relates to the technical field of stoves, and in particular to a novel gas heater.
A gas heater is a type of stove, and is mainly used in courtyards and outdoors to realize functions of heating, barbecue, decoration, atmosphere creation and the like. An independent gas heater is usually used with a table, that is to say, the gas heater is placed on the table top and is connected to an external gas cylinder by means of a hose.
In the related art, there are generally two types of interfaces for connecting a hose with a gas heater. One is a side interface, i.e., an interface arranged on a side surface of a body of a gas heater, where the hose extends across the table top and occupies part of the space of the table top, which may cause inconvenience to a user. Another type is shown in “FIRE EFFECT DEVICE AND ATTACHMENT FOR PROVIDING FIRE ON TABLE TOP” disclosed by CN205878246U, where an interface is arranged at a bottom of the gas heater; the gas heater can be used in conjunction with a table having a through hole, and the hose extends downwards through the through hole to a bottom space of the table and connects to a gas cylinder.
Apparently, these two types of interfaces are alternatives where each type is specified for a specific use. The side interface type cannot solve the problem of occupying the space of the table top, while the bottom interface type needs to be used in conjunction with a table having a through hole, so none of them can provide users with diversified uses, thus resulting in limitations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel gas heater, in which an interface can be selectively arranged at a suitable position according to actual use scenarios, thereby enabling relatively flexible use.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

According to the above structures, the present invention has the following technical effects:
By arranging the through hole on a side surface of the heater body and arranging the mounting hole on the support arranged in the mounting cavity, the input end of the gas inlet pipe can have two assembling positions, i.e., the side surface and the bottom surface of the heater body respectively, so that the input end of the gas inlet pipe can be selectively fixed at a proper position among one of two different positions to realize connection to the hose according to actual application requirements, thereby enabling relatively flexible use and more diversified application scenarios.
To further explain the technical solutions of the present invention, a detailed description of the present invention is provided below through specific embodiments.
Referring to
A bottom of the heater body 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 11, and a through hole 12 is formed on a side wall of the mounting cavity 11;
Specific embodiments of the present invention are described as follows.
The present invention also comprises a plug 5. The plug 5 is used to block the through hole 12 when the input end of the gas inlet pipe 3 is not mounted to the through hole 12.
A combustion cavity 13 is formed at a top of the heater body 1; a wind-shielding assembly 6 is detachably mounted around the combustion cavity 13; the wind-shielding assembly 6 comprises a plurality of separator plates 61, which may be made of materials such as glass, thus achieving effects of shielding wind, gathering fire, concentrating heat, decorating and the like.
Furthermore, the wind-shielding assembly 6 further comprises a mounting seat 62 mounted to each corner of the combustion cavity 13, as shown in
The support 2 comprises a transverse plate 21, two vertical plates 22, and two wing plates, wherein one end of each of the two vertical plates 21 is connected to a corresponding one of two ends of the transverse plate 21 and positioned perpendicular to the transverse plate 21, and each of the two wing plates 23 is connected to another end of a corresponding vertical plate 22 and extending outwards from the corresponding vertical plate 22. In other words, the support 2 has an U shape. The wing plates 23 are detachably mounted at a bottom surface of the mounting cavity 11 by detachable connection such as screws, and the mounting hole 211 is formed at a middle part of the transverse plate 21. By mounting the support 2 at the bottom surface of the mounting cavity 11 via the wing plates 23, the transverse plate 21 can be relatively easier to be hidden in the mounting cavity 11, so that by means of the support 2, the input end of the gas inlet pipe 3 is hidden in the mounting cavity 11 and will not be exposed, thus avoiding occupying additional space, facilitating packing, and saving storage and transportation costs.
The input end of the gas inlet pipe 3 is a screw joint 31, and the screw joint 31 penetrates through the through hole 12 or the mounting hole 211 and is fixed by a nut 7. Also, the screw joint 31 can be conveniently and quickly assembled with and disassembled from an end of the hose 4.
The present invention also comprises a gas valve 8 and a gas outlet pipe 9 which are arranged in the mounting cavity 11, and also comprises a burner 10 and an ignition device 20 which are arranged at the top of the heater body 1 (that is, in the combustion cavity 13); an output end of the gas inlet pipe 3 is in communication with an input end of the gas valve 8; two ends of the gas outlet pipe 9 are in communication with an output end of the gas valve 8 and an input end of the burner 10 respectively; the ignition device 20 is arranged on one side of the burner 10. The gas inlet pipe 3 and the gas outlet pipe 9 can both be corrugated pipes.
In some embodiments of the present invention, a control switch 30 is arranged on a side surface of the heater body 1; the control switch 30 controls the gas valve 8 and the ignition device 20.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the burner 10 is a cylinder with a plurality of gas outlet holes 101, and two ends of the cylinder are closed.
As shown in
Further, at least one gas inlet hole 103 is arranged on a circumferential surface of the pipe adapter 102. When the gas valve 8 is opened and gas is delivered to the gas outlet holes 101 of the burner 10 through the gas outlet pipe 9, air is drawn into the pipe adapter 102 and into the burner 10 from said at least one gas inlet hole 103 due to negative pressure formed in the burner 10, such that the gas and the air are better mixed to achieve full combustion.
Also, the output end of the gas outlet pipe 9 is provided with a nozzle 91 to realize acceleration of the gas into the pipe adapter 102; and said at least one gas inlet hole 103 is arranged at a position of the circumferential surface of the pipe adapter 102 adjacent to the output end of the nozzle 91, so as to enable better air intake by utilizing negative pressure principle.
Further, an insect-proof net 50 is arranged in the pipe adapter 102, which can prevent mosquitoes, spiders and other small creatures from entering the pipe adapter and damaging the present invention.
