Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a heater burner and, more particularly, to a wind resistant outdoor heater burner.

China Patent Application No. 201410258948.7 discloses a high power infrared horizontal heat radiation outdoor fuel gas heater (hereinafter referred to as “the heater”) including a box body for containing a fuel gas bottle. An ignition control device is arranged on the box body. Universal wheels are arranged at the bottom of the box body. An opening is formed in a front panel of the box body. At least two mutually independent infrared fuel gas burners (herein after referred to as “the burners”) are arranged at the opening. The burners are arranged in the horizontally outward radiation direction. A metal mesh enclosure is arranged on the opening.

The heater is generally used outdoors. In use, gas is mixed with air in a gas mixing chamber of the burners. Then, the pressure in the gas mixing chamber blows the mixture outward via pores of porous ceramic plates for subsequent combustion of the mixture. Since the burners with the ceramic plates provide directional heating and have a large combustion area, the high heat of combustion generates a large proportion of infrared heat radiation on the surfaces of the burners and, thus, can provide a highly efficient radiation heat source. This is critical to use in the outdoor environment, because the user can immediately feel comfortable and warm when irradiated with heat similar to the sunlight. However, the burners are liable to extinguish, because the outlets of the ceramic plates are directly subject to wind and have a large windward area. In a case of a strong wind or a gust, backpressure or turbulence is apt to be generated on the surfaces of the burners, failing to maintain the conditions for combustion. Combustion of the burners requires a uniform supply of air and a stable mixture concentration as well as a stable pressure in the gas mixing chamber, such that the mixture flows out of the surfaces of the ceramic plates at a constant low speed for the purpose of maintaining normal and stable combustion.

The heater is for generating thermal radiation for outdoor use. In a real application, gas is mixed with air in a gas mixing chamber of the burners. Then, the pressure in the gas mixing chamber enforces the gas mixture flowing outward of the burner via the pores of the porous ceramic tiles for subsequent combustion. Since the burners with the ceramic tiles provide directional heating and have a large combustion area, the high heat of combustion generates a large proportion of infrared heat radiation on the surfaces of the burners and, thus, can provide an effective radiation heat source. Using radiation heating is critical for the outdoor environment since the user can immediately feel comfortable and warm from the infrared irradiated with heat similar to the sunlight.

However, typical ceramic tile radiant burners are liable to fail under an outdoor environment since the ceramic tiles with a large surface area are exposed directly to the outdoor environment. To maintaining normal and stable combustion requires both consistent supplies of low-speed air flow and a correct mixture of gas fuel. Under the strong or gusty wind environment, high back pressure or turbulence directly applying on the tile surfaces cause the burners to fail to maintain the proper conditions for combustion, induce burner extinction, and even cause risks.

It is inevitable to expose environmental winds to the outdoor radiant heaters. When the wind is too strong, the back pressure and turbulence generated on the ceramic tile surface on the burners by a strong wind or gust often extinguish or even cause dangers, with dangers including, but not limited to, two major risks.

Two types of risks for typical radiant burners are flashback and flashover. Flashback is a condition where the flame is burning inside the mixing chamber of the burner. The strong wind directly blows into the gas mixing chamber and pushes the flame into the gas mixing chamber, leading to a backfire that causes combustion inside the gas mixing chamber rather than outside of the gas mixing chamber. Thus, a large amount of heat is accumulated instantaneously in the gas mixing chamber, which is very dangerous. Operating at this condition can ruin the burner or the whole device.

Flashover occurs when the flame ignites an accumulated gas mixture around the burner. This causes a “huffing” noise and can lead to flashover occurring outside the burner. Periodic gusts can cause instability and extinction. Sometimes, the wind extinguishes the flame, but the gas control system cannot detect extinction of the flames immediately and still keeps supplying gas. Thus, the gas will accumulate in or around the heater. When the heater resumes ignition after the wind becomes smaller or stops, the high-concentration gas mixture around the heater will be ignited at the same time, resulting in a large-scale burning or even a flashover.

Thus, a need exists for a novel windproof outdoor heater burner to overcome the above disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference to FIGS. 1-7, a windproof outdoor heater burner 10 (hereinafter referred to as “the heater burner 10”) of a first embodiment according to the present invention includes a casing 20 and a flow-guiding device 30. The casing 20 defines a chamber and includes an inlet 21 and an outlet 22 spaced from the inlet 21 in a longitudinal direction. The inlet 21 and the outlet 22 intercommunicate with the chamber.

The flow-guiding device 30 includes an inlet pipe 31, a flow-guiding member 32, and a diffuser plate 33. The inlet pipe 31 is connected to the inlet 21 and includes a first end 311 and a second end 312 opposite to the first end 311. The first end 311 of the inlet pipe 31 is located outside of the casing 20. The second end 312 of the inlet pipe 31 is located in the chamber of the casing 20. The inlet pipe 31 further includes a neck 313 located between the first end 311 and the second end 312 and received in the inlet 21 of the casing 20. An inner cross-sectional area of the neck 313 perpendicular to a longitudinal axis is smaller than an inner cross-sectional area of the first end 311 or the second end 312 of the inlet pipe 31 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

The flow-guiding member 32 is mounted in the chamber of the casing 20 and is connected to the second end 312 of the inlet pipe 31. The flow-guiding member 32 includes a flow-guiding channel 34 therein and a plurality of first through-holes 321. Each first through-hole 321 includes a first end intercommunicated with the flow-guiding channel 34 and a second end intercommunicated with the chamber of the casing 20. The flow-guiding channel 34 includes a first area extending non-rectilinearly from the second end 312 of the inlet pipe 31 to the first through-holes 321. The flow-guiding channel 34 includes a first section 341 and a second section 342 at a non-parallel angle to the first section 341 to form a turn therebetween. The first section 341 intercommunicates with the inlet pipe 31. The first section 341 and the second section 342 are connected and intercommunicate with each other.

The flow-guiding member 32 further includes a first baffle 322 adjacent to an inner periphery of the first section 341. The first baffle 322 is on a side of the first section 341 opposite to the inlet pipe 31 and faces the second end 312 of the inlet pipe 31. The flow-guiding member 32 further includes a second baffle 323 adjacent to an inner periphery of the second section 342. The second baffle 323 is on a side of the second section 342 opposite to the first section 341 and faces an end of the first section 341 opposite to the inlet pipe 31 and adjacent to the second section 342.

The flow-guiding channel 34 further includes a third section 343 connected and intercommunicated with an end of the first section 341 opposite to the second section 342. The first section 341 is at a non-parallel angle to the third section 343 to form a turn therebetween.

The flow-guiding member 32 further includes a third baffle 324 adjacent to an inner periphery of the third section 343. The third baffle 324 is on a side of the third section 343 opposite to first section 341 and faces an end of the first section 341 opposite to the second section 342. A side of the flow-guiding member 32 adjacent to the third section 343 but opposite to the third baffle 324 includes a plurality of second through-holes 325. Each second through-hole 325 has a first end intercommunicated with the flow-guiding channel 34 and a second end intercommunicated with the chamber of the casing 20. The flow-guiding channel 34 includes a second area extending non-rectilinearly from the second end 312b of the inlet pipe 31 to the second through-holes 325.

The diffuser plate 33 is connected to the outlet 22 and includes a first side 331 and a second side 332 opposite to the first side 331. The diffuser plate 33 further includes a plurality of first exhaust holes 333 located between the first side 331 and the second side 332 and intercommunicated with the chamber of the casing 20. The first exhaust holes 333 are not aligned with the flow-guiding member 32. The first exhaust holes 333 in the diffuser plate 33 have gradually reducing areas from the first side 331 to the second side 332 along the longitudinal axis. The sum of areas of the first exhaust holes 333 in the diffuser plate 33 is larger than the inner cross-sectional area of the neck 313 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first side 331 is adjacent to the inlet 20 of the casing 21. The second side 332 is adjacent to a side of the casing 20 opposite to the inlet 21.

The flow-guiding device 30 further includes a first partitioning member 35, a second partitioning member 36, and a third partitioning member 37. The first partitioning member 35 abuts a side of the diffuser plate 33 opposite to the casing 20 and extends from the casing 20. The first partitioning member 35 is aligned with an area of the diffuser plate 33 having the first exhaust holes 333. The first exhaust holes 333 are divided into two sections by the first partitioning member 35. The second partitioning member 36 and the third partitioning member 37 abut the side of the diffuser plate 33 opposite to the casing 20 and extend away from the casing 20. The second partitioning member 36 is aligned with the area of the diffuser plate 33 having the first exhaust holes 333. The first exhaust holes 333 are divided into two sections by the second partitioning member 36. The extending direction of the first partitioning member 35 is parallel to the extending direction of the second partitioning member 36. The extending direction of the third partitioning member 37 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first partitioning member 35. The third partitioning member 37 intersects with the first partitioning member 35 and the second partitioning member 36.

The flow-guiding device 30 further includes a ceramic plate 38 disposed on the side of the diffuser plate 33 opposite to the casing 20. The ceramic plate 38 includes a plurality of through-holes 381 extending from a side of the ceramic plate 38 adjacent to the diffuser plate 33 through another side of the ceramic plate 38 opposite to the diffuser plate 33. The ceramic plate 38 abuts a side of the first partitioning member 35, a side of the second partitioning member 36, and a side of the third partitioning member 37. The sides of the first, second, and third partitioning members 35, 36, 37 are opposite to the diffuser plate 33.

The heater burner 10 with the above structure permits the gas and air in the casing 20 to be mixed uniformly to increase the heating efficiency during combustion of the gas mixture and reducing the waste of the gas while achieving an excellent windproof effect. Extinction or backfire of the flame of the heater burner 10 will not occur even when subjected to a strong wind, increasing the use safety. After entering the casing 20, the gas passes through the flow-guiding channel 34 that extends non-rectilinearly, such that the gas is stopped and deflected by the first baffle 322, the second baffle 323, and the third baffle 324 to increase the turbulent effect for more uniformly mixing the gas and the air. The pressure and the concentration of the gas in the gas-mixing chamber are stable. Then, the gas mixture flows through the chamber of the casing 20, the diffuser plate 33, and the ceramic plate 38 for subsequent ignition. The heat energy generated by the combustion of the gas mixture is transmitted to the ambience of the heater burner 10 through radiation to increase the outside temperature (see FIG. 6).

With reference to FIG. 7, when the heater burner 10 is subject to a wind from the front side, the wind passing through the ceramic plate 38 will not directly enter the flow-guiding channel 34 even if the wind enters the casing 20, because the first exhaust holes 333 of the diffuser plate 33 are not aligned with the flow-guiding channel 34. Furthermore, the first exhaust holes 333 in the diffuser plate 33 have gradually reducing areas from the first side 331 to the second side 332 along the longitudinal axis, such that the wind is apt to enter the casing 20 from an area adjacent to the first side 331 and then flows out of another area adjacent to the second side 332. Thus, even if the heater burner 10 is subjected to a wind, the flame keeps burning at the outside of the ceramic plate 38 without the risk of extinction and backfire.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show a heater burner 10 of a second embodiment according to the present invention which is substantially the same as the first embodiment. The main differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment are that the flow-guiding channel 34a in the second embodiment includes a first section 341a and a second section 342a at a non-parallel angle to the first section 341a to form a turn therebetween. The first section 341a intercommunicates with the inlet pipe 31a. The first section 341a and the second section 342a are connected and intercommunicate with each other.

The flow-guiding member 32a includes a first baffle 322a adjacent to an inner periphery of the first section 341a.

The first through-holes 321a are located on a side of the flow-guiding member 32a adjacent to the second section 342a but opposite to the second baffle 323a.

The fourth section 344b is connected with the first section 341b and the second section 342b and extends in a direction away from the second section 342b. The second section 342b and the fourth section 344b extend along the same axis parallel to the longitudinal axis. The second baffle 323b is located adjacent to the inner periphery of the second section 342b and an inner periphery of the fourth section 344b.

The flow-guiding channel 34b further includes a third area extending non-rectilinearly from the second end 312b of the inlet pipe 31b to the third through-holes 326b.

The fifth section 345b is connected to the first section 341b and the third section 343b and extends in a direction away from the third section 343b. The third section 343b and the fifth section 345b extend along the same axis parallel to the longitudinal axis. The third baffle 324b is adjacent to the inner periphery of the third section 343b and an inner periphery of the fifth section 345b. A turn is formed between the first section 341b and the fifth section 345b.
