Detailed Description

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, however, embodiments of the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the scope of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

A heat exchanger structure 100, a water heating apparatus 200 and a home appliance 300 provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 10.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a heat exchanger structure 100, which includes a housing 110, a smoke exhaust pipe 120, a plurality of fin segments 130, and at least one heat exchange pipe 140. The housing 110 can be understood as a part of the housing assembly 310 in the device, and the housing 110 in the present application can be in any shape and can be flexibly configured according to actual requirements. The housing 110 comprises a first end plate 111 and a second end plate 112, the first end plate 111 and the second end plate 112 being arranged at a distance, i.e. a distance is present between the two end plates. Further, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is disposed on the casing 110, and the smoke is finally exhausted from the smoke exhaust pipe 120 after being cooled by the heat exchanger structure 100, that is, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is a position for exhausting the smoke. Specifically, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is detachably connected with the housing 110, so that the maintenance and replacement of workers are facilitated. Certainly, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 and the shell 110 can also be connected in a welding mode, so that the processing and the production are convenient; or the smoke exhaust pipe 120 and the shell 110 are of an integrated structure, and compared with a post-processing mode, the smoke exhaust pipe has good mechanical property and higher connection strength, and is beneficial to reducing the number of parts.

Further, a plurality of fin segments 130 are each disposed between the first end plate 111 and the second end plate 112. Specifically, the fin section 130 includes a plurality of fins 131 arranged in parallel, and the pitches of the plurality of fins 131 in the same fin section 130 may be the same or different; the fin 131 spacing in different fin sections 130 may be the same or different. In addition, the heights of the different fin segments 130 may be the same or different. By assembling the plurality of fin segments 130, a structure having a sufficiently large heat exchange area can be formed, and a heat exchange effect can be ensured. The flue gas can flow to the smoke exhaust pipe 120 through the fin segments 130, in other words, the flue gas needs to be cooled by the fin segments 130 and then exhausted from the smoke exhaust pipe 120. Further, one end of the heat exchange tube 140 passes through the first end plate 111 and the plurality of fin segments 130, and outwardly passes out of the second end plate 112. The water flows through the heat exchange tube 140 from the first end plate 111 to the second end plate 112, and the heat exchange tube 140 may have a plurality of bent sections in order to improve the heat exchange effect.

It should be noted that if the fins 131 are distributed at equal intervals, the way in which the flue gas enters the smoke exhaust pipe 120 at the left and right sides of the heat exchanger structure 100 is longer than the way in which the flue gas enters the smoke exhaust pipe 120 at the middle position of the heat exchanger structure 100, and turns many times, so that the resistance at the two sides is larger, and the flow rate of the flue gas is less. In other words, under the influence of the smoke exhaust pipe 120, the resistance of the portion of the heat exchanger structure 100 directly below the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is small, the distributed smoke flow is large, the resistance of the area far away from the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is large, the distributed smoke flow is small, and this design mode may cause uneven flow distribution, reduce the thermal efficiency, and cause energy waste. In addition, under the working condition of small load, the efficiency is higher, and condensed water is easy to generate, so that corrosion damage is caused.

In the technical scheme defined by the application, the distance between the fins 131 of the closest one of the fin segments 130 and the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is smaller than that between the fins 131 of any other fin segment 130. Specifically, the smaller fin 131 spacing is adopted at the position right below the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120, and the larger fin 131 spacing is adopted at the position far away from the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120, so that on one hand, the resistance of the part of the fin section 130 close to the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120 to the smoke is increased, the smoke is distributed more uniformly among the fins 131 of the heat exchanger structure 100, and the heat efficiency is higher; on the other hand, under the little load operating mode, can the segmentation burning, the flue gas only carries out the heat transfer through the great fin 131 region of interval, is favorable to reducing heat transfer area, and then reduces the risk that the comdenstion water produced.

Further, the smoke exhaust 120 may be located directly above the middle of the fin segments 130, and of course, the smoke exhaust 120 may be located at other positions. The distance between the fins 131 in the heat exchanger structure 100 can be gradually changed, that is, the distance between the middle part and the two side parts is gradually increased, so that the resistance of the flue gas passing through the heat exchanger structure 100 is further ensured to be consistent, and the flue gas flow distribution is more uniform. Compared with the mode that only two or three kinds of the intervals of the fins 131 are arranged and the different intervals are distributed in a staggered mode, the possibility of generating condensed water at the smaller intervals is greatly reduced.

It should be noted that the number of the heat exchange tubes 140 is at least one, that is, the number of the heat exchange tubes 140 may be one, two or more, and the heat exchange tubes 140 are flexibly arranged in consideration of heat exchange effect, space utilization, cost and other factors.

Further, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is disposed on the casing 110, and the smoke is finally exhausted from the smoke exhaust pipe 120 after being cooled by the heat exchanger structure 100, that is, the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is a position for exhausting the smoke.

Further, a plurality of fin segments 130 are each disposed between the first end plate 111 and the second end plate 112. The flue gas can flow through the fin segments 130 to the smoke exhaust pipe 120, and one end of the heat exchange pipe 140 passes through the first end plate 111 and the plurality of fin segments 130 and passes outward through the second end plate 112. In the technical scheme defined by the application, the distance between the fins 131 of the closest one of the fin segments 130 and the smoke exhaust pipe 120 is smaller than that between the fins 131 of any other fin segment 130. Specifically, the smaller fin 131 spacing is adopted at the position right below the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120, and the larger fin 131 spacing is adopted at the position far away from the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120, so that on one hand, the resistance of the part of the fin section 130 close to the inlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 120 to the smoke is increased, the smoke is distributed more uniformly among the fins 131 of the heat exchanger structure 100, and the heat efficiency is higher; on the other hand, under the little load operating mode, can the segmentation burning, the flue gas only carries out the heat transfer through the great fin 131 region of interval, is favorable to reducing heat transfer area, and then reduces the risk that the comdenstion water produced.
