FIELDThe present disclosure relates to the field of hot water devices, and in particular, to a fire grate, a burner, and a gas water heater.
BACKGROUNDA gas water heater is a gas appliance that uses fuel gas as a fuel and combusts a mixture of air and fuel gas within a combustion chamber through a burner to generate high-temperature flue gas and exchanges heat with cold water in a heat exchanger through a high-temperature flue-gas-flow heat exchanger for achieving the purpose of producing hot water, and is widely employed due to its convenience in use, rapid hot water preparation, and other advantages. The burner is a core component of the gas water heater and is internally provided with a fire grate. In the prior art, a combustion intensity of the fire grate at a fire hole position is high, and performance of smoke gas discharged during instantaneous combustion is poor, resulting in a high level of nitrogen oxides, which is unfavorable for meeting requirements of low nitrogen emission performance.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
In the technical solution of the present disclosure, the flame stabilizer 200 is additionally provided at an outer side of the fire grate body 100, to increase the auxiliary gas channel 201 at the outer side of the fire grate body 100. The auxiliary gas channel 201 is in communication with the main gas channel 110 through the communication opening 130 at the side of the fire grate body 100. The main gas outlet 120 of the main gas channel 110 and the auxiliary gas outlet 202 of the auxiliary gas channel 201 together form a fire hole of the fire grate. After a gas flow is conveyed to the main gas channel 110, part of the gas flow enters the auxiliary gas channel 201 through the communication opening 130. The gas flow is shunted through the auxiliary gas channel 201, to reduce a gas outlet amount of the main gas outlet 120, which reduces a combustion intensity of a main gas opening. The auxiliary gas outlet 202 of the auxiliary gas channel 201 is equivalent to increasing a fire hole area of the fire grate. In this way, the combustion intensity of the fire grate is lowered, which is beneficial to ensuring a sufficient degree of the gas flow in the fire hole. Therefore, smoke performance of instantaneous combustion emission can be improved, and nitrogen oxides generated by combustion are reduced.
Further, in the embodiment, the flame stabilizer 200 includes two first connectors 210 arranged opposite to each other and connected to the fire grate body 100. The communication opening 130 is formed on each of two opposite sides of the fire grate body 100. One of the two sides of the fire grate body 100 corresponding to one of the two first connectors 210 forms the auxiliary gas channel 201, and the auxiliary gas outlet 201 is formed at a top of the first connector 210 and in communication with the corresponding auxiliary gas channel 201. In this way, a gas outlet amount of the main gas outlet 120 and a fire hole area of the fire grate can be further reduced, to further lower the combustion intensity of the fire grate, which is beneficial to ensuring that the gas flow is fully combusted in the fire hole. Therefore, the smoke performance of instantaneous combustion emission is further improved, and the nitrogen oxides generated during combustion are reduced.
Further, in the embodiment, the fire grate body 100 has a plurality of communication openings 130 formed at the side of the fire grate body 100. The plurality of communication openings 130 is arranged at intervals in a longitudinal direction of the fire grate body 100. The auxiliary gas channel 201 correspondingly extends in the longitudinal direction of the fire grate body 100. In this way, a flow area of the communication opening 130 is increased, which can improve circulation efficiency of the gas flow from the main gas channel 110 to the auxiliary gas channel 201, and facilitates an improvement in a shunting effect of the auxiliary gas channel 201 on the gas flow. Moreover, the plurality of communication openings 130 is arranged at intervals, allowing for a dispersed inflow of the gas flow to the auxiliary gas channel 201 from the main gas channel 110. In this way, a gas-out speed of the main gas outlet 120 and a gas-out speed of the auxiliary gas outlet 202 can be slowed down, and sufficient combustion of the gas flow is facilitated. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, it may also be that the communication opening 130 is constructed as an elongated shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the fire grate body 100.
In an embodiment, as illustrated in
Further, in this embodiment, the flame stabilizer 200 further includes a plurality of second connectors 220 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the fire grate body 100. Two ends of each of the plurality of second connectors 220 is connected to the tops of the two first connectors 210, respectively. The flame stabilizer 200 is sleeved on the fire grate body 100. The plurality of second connectors 220 is connected to the top of the fire grate body 100 and avoids the main gas outlet 120. The top of the first connector 210 is spaced apart from the corresponding side of the fire grate body 100. A bottom of the first connector 210 abuts against the side of the fire grate body 100. A top of the first connector 210 is spaced apart from the fire grate body 100 and is connected to the top of the fire grate body 100 through the second connector 220. Moreover, the second connector 220 avoids the main gas outlet 120. In this way, a connection stability of the flame stabilizer 200 and the fire grate body 100 is ensured, while a combustion area of the main gas outlet 120 is also ensured. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, it may also be that the two second connectors 220 are independently connected to two sides of the fire grate body 100 through a plurality of fixed-connection protruding portions 211 arranged at intervals in a longitudinal direction of the two second connectors 220, to construct two auxiliary gas channels 201.
Further, in the embodiment, as illustrated in
Further, in this embodiment, as illustrated in
Further, in the embodiment, the main gas outlet 120 further includes a plurality of second fire holes 122 formed in the partition 140. The plurality of second fire holes 122 is arranged in a rectangular array or arranged at intervals in the transverse direction of the fire grate. By providing the plurality of partitions 140, the plurality of first fire holes 121 is formed to preliminarily shunt the gas-out of the gas flow. Moreover, the plurality of second fire holes 122 is provided at a spacing portion, and at least two second fire holes 122 are arranged at intervals in a transverse direction of the fire grate body 100 to implement secondary shunting of the gas flow. In this way, an area of the first fire hole 121 may be set to be great to reduce an arrangement number of the first fire holes 121. Meanwhile, the arrangement of the plurality of second fire holes 122 can further improve the uniformity of the flame.
