- the fuel gas and the air for combustion are suitably mixed.
- the mixed gas ejecting from the opening 9 collides with an inner surface of the mixing chamber 6, and is divided into two directions. Then the mixed gas reversely directs along the inner surface of the mixing chamber 6.
- the flow of the gas promotes mixing of the fuel gas and the combustion air more. Further, an eddy flow does not occur at the both sides of the extension pipe 8.
- the mixing chamber 6 When the mixing chamber 6 is filled with the mixed gas, the mixed gas is led into the burner head 3 through the communication hole 17, and ejects from respective first and second burner ports 15 and 16 for combustion. At this time, since ejecting speeds of the mixed gases from the burner ports 15 and 16 are small, the flame comes close to the burner ports 15 and 16. Thus, surface combustion is carried out at an almost whole surface of the side plate 13, and temperatures of the burner ports become 800°C or more. Further, since the whole surface of the cylindrical side face becomes a combusted surface, the influence of thermal stress can be suppressed.
- the high temperature combustion gas generated by burner combustion goes up along a lower surface of the lower mirror plate 22, and passes through the central exhaust pipe 25 to be exhausted to outside of the main body 21.

- the mixing pipe 4 is provided to direct to a direction where the mixing pipe 4 is crossed with the axis line of the burner head 3 at substantially right angles to each other, the sufficient burner port area can be secured, and the ejection speed of the mixing gas from the first and second burner ports 15 and 16 is decreased to suppress fluid resistance.
- the mixing air can be smoothly and uniformly supplied from the mixing chamber 6 to the burner head 3, and thus the size of the whole burner height can be suppressed to be small.
- the burner can be suitably used as an all primary air burner and a natural combustion type burner not using a fan, and downsizing and reduction of cost can be expected. Further, since a combustion surface becomes the side surface, dropping material s from an upper side are not accumulated on the first and second burner ports 15 and 16.
- the burner port is configured that a slit-shaped first burner port 15 in the vertical direction, and the line of plural round second burner ports 16 arranged in the vertical directions are alternately arranged each other in the peripheral direction and the vertical directions, a preferable burner port can be arranged, in which while a necessary burner port area is provided by the first burner port 15, rigidity can be kept by the second burner ports 16.
- the extension pipe 8 protruding inside the mixing chamber 6 is provided on the mixing pipe 4 of the burner main body 2, a sufficient mixing distance inside the mixing chamber can be secured. Further, since an eddy flow does not occur when the mixing air flows into the mixing chamber 6 from the mixing pipe 4, the required primary air can be taken in using ejecting energy of the fuel gas. Further, the fuel gas and the air for combustion can be favorably mixed in the mixing chamber 6. Furthermore, since the protruded end of the extension pipe 8 is cut to be inclined so as to have the upward opening 9, a preferable configuration in which the more amount of primary air is taken can be obtained.
- a burner port in a burner head is not limited to the burner port in the above-described embodiment.
- a size, a shape, an arrangement pattern, and the like can be suitably changed.
- the structure of an upper plate and a lower plate, and connecting configuration are not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, when caulking parts between an upper or lower plate and a side plate are bent in a V shape toward an opposite side of the upper or lower plate as illustrated in Fig. 6 , the strength is increased, and thus warping under thermal conditions can be effectively prevented.
- the protruded end of the extension pipe is cut to be inclined so as to have the upward opening.
- the protruded end may be cut to be inclined so as to have a downward opening, or be cut in the vertical direction so as to have a sideways opening. In these cases, the amount of primary air taken in is more increased compared to a burner main body not having an extension pipe.
- an extension pipe is not limited to the pipe using an end part of an internal pipe.
- An extension pipe can be formed by connecting only a portion corresponding to an opening edge of a mixing pipe in a mixing chamber.
- a burner of the present invention is not limited to the above-described hot water storage type water heater, and can be used as heating means in the other gas combustion appliance such as a hot water supply appliance in which water passing through the inside of the appliance is heated by a heat exchanger.

Description
- The present invention relates to a burner used for a gas combustion appliance such as a hot water storage type water heater.
- A conventional burner includes a burner main body having a mixing pipe to which fuel gas and combustion air are supplied, and a mixing chamber at a top end on a downstream side of the mixing pipe. Further, the burner includes a burner head at an upper part of the burner main body while communicating with the mixing chamber and including a burner port for ejecting a mixed gas of the fuel gas and combustion air from the mixing chamber. For example, patent document 1 describes that such a burner is used to heat hot and cold water and the like in a gas combustion appliance such as a hot water storage type water heater. The burner used in this patent document 1 is a Bunsen burner in a combustion chamber arranged below a hot water storage chamber, and includes a burner main body facing a top end of a gas nozzle and having a throat part taking combustion air in, and a burner head placed on the burner main body and having intermittently burner ports therearound.

2001-304691 - In
patent specification GB 1 443 553 - The international patent application
WO 2004/104477 describes an adjustable burner having a body and a Venturi tube and a distributing element inside the body. In several embodiments, the body of the burner is provided with various arrangements of round and slit-shaped burner ports. - From a viewpoint to suppress generating NOx (nitrogen oxide) in a combustion gas, it is desirable that a burner is an all-primary air burner taking in air which has more than the theoretical equivalence required for combustion as primary air. In the all-primary air burner, the highest temperature of a flame can be decreased by all primary low-load combustion, and thus NOx generation can be suppressed.
- However, when an inner pressure of the burner is high, a volume of primary air taken in becomes insufficient. Particularly, when a burner port area is small like the burner disclosed in the above-described patent document 1, an ejection speed of the mixing air of primary air and air for combustion from the burner port becomes high to increase fluid resistance. Since sufficient primary air cannot be taken in due to increased inner pressure it becomes necessary to compulsively supply combustion air using a fan. Thus, downsizing of a burner cannot be made, which increases the cost.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a burner capable of taking in sufficient primary air and mixing it with fuel gas without using a fan, and being used as an all primary air burner.
- In order to achieve the above-described object, a first aspect of the invention includes a burner head, wherein the burner head is in a cylindrical shape having a plurality of burner ports bored around an almost whole periphery of a side face of the burner head, and is provided right above a mixing chamber of a burner main body while a mixing pipe is directed in a direction where an axis line of the mixing pipe crosses with an axis line of the burner head at substantially right angles.
- A second aspect of the invention includes, in addition to the first aspect, the burner ports including a vertical slit-shaped first burner port, and the line of plural round second burner ports arranged vertically, each of which is alternately arranged in the peripheral direction and the vertical directions, in order to obtain suitable burner ports capable of having a necessary burner port area and securing rigidity.
- According to the first aspect of the invention, a sufficient burner port area can be provided with the cylindrical burner head, and the ejection speed of mixing gas from the burner ports decreases to suppress fluid resistance. In addition, the mixing air can be smoothly and uniformly supplied from the mixing chamber to the burner head, and thus the whole height can be suppressed to be small. Thus, the burner can be suitably used as an all-primary air burner and a natural combustion type burner not using a fan, and thus downsizing of the burner and reduction of cost can be expected. Further, since a combustion surface becomes a side surface, dropping materials from above are not accumulated on the burner ports.
- According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, while a necessary burner port area is provided by the first burner ports, rigidity can be secured by the second burner ports.

exhaust pipe 25 is provided on the center of axle of hotwater storage chamber 23, and thisexhaust pipe 25 penetrates the hotwater storage chamber 23 to be protruded toward the upper side of themain body 21. Through theexhaust pipe 25, combustion gas generated in thecombustion chamber 24 is exhausted outside themain body 21. A baffle plate (not illustrated) having a spiral passage is provided inside theexhaust pipe 25. - The burner 1 is supported on a disc-shaped
placing base 26 provided at a lower side of thecombustion chamber 24 by a supportingplate 27. Thethroat part 5 of the burnermain body 2 faces a gas nozzle 28 whose top end protrudes into thecombustion chamber 24. Theburner head 3 is positioned at a center of thecombustion chamber 24. The reference numeral "29" indicates a pilot burner. - The burner 1 is supported by the supporting

On the other hand, anair passage 32 is provided vertically on a gas nozzle 28 side of thecombustion chamber 24, where theair passage 32 partitions the inside space of thechamber combustion 24. However, an upper space in the placingbase 26 partitioned by thepartition plate 31 is kept communicated with thethroat part 5 of the burnermain body 2. Thus, as indicated by an arrow, external air passes through the opening of thepartition plate 31 and reaches to theair passage 32 after flowing into the placingbase 26 from theair feed port 30. Then, the air goes up through theair passage 32 and is introduced into the burnermain body 2. - In the hot water storage
type water heater 20, when an ignition knob of a controller (not illustrated) provided at an external of themain body 21 is operated, a gas flow passage to thepilot burner 29 is opened and thepilot burner 29 is ignited. When the ignition is detected by a thermocouple (not illustrated), an electromagnetic valve of the gas flow path is opened and is kept open. In such a condition, when the ignition knob is operated to open a main gas flow passage, the fuel gas ejects from the gas nozzle 28 to be supplied from thethroat part 5 to the burnermain body 2. By the ejecting energy of the fuel gas, air outside of themain body 21 is taken into the mixingpipe 4 of the burnermain body 2 from theair feed port 30 through the inside of the placingbase 26 and theair passage 32. - At this time, since the length from the
throat part 5 to theopening 9 is sufficiently kept by theextension pipe 8 protruding inside the mixingchamber 6, the fuel gas and the air for combustion are suitably mixed. In addition to this, the mixed gas ejecting from theopening 9 collides with an inner surface of the mixingchamber 6, and is divided into two directions. Then the mixed gas reversely directs along the inner surface of the mixingchamber 6. Thus, the flow of the gas promotes mixing of the fuel gas and the combustion air more. Further, an eddy flow does not occur at the both sides of theextension pipe 8. - When the mixing
chamber 6 is filled with the mixed gas, the mixed gas is led into theburner head 3 through thecommunication hole 17, and ejects from respective first andsecond burner ports burner ports burner ports side plate 13, and temperatures of the burner ports become 800°C or more. Further, since the whole surface of the cylindrical side face becomes a combusted surface, the influence of thermal stress can be suppressed. - The high temperature combustion gas generated by burner combustion goes up along a lower surface of the
lower mirror plate 22, and passes through thecentral exhaust pipe 25 to be exhausted to outside of themain body 21. By the movement of the combustion gas, hot water in the hotwater storage chamber 23 is heated by thelower mirror plate 22 and theexhaust pipe 25. - On the other hand, radiation heat generated by combustion at the side surface of the
burner head 3 is radially radiated from theburner head 3 as illustrated with wavy arrows. However, since the whole side surface of theburner head 3 faces the hotwater storage chamber 23, the radiation heat is effectively transmitted to hot water in the hotwater storage chamber 23 to heat the hot water. - Since the radiation heat is effectively transmitted to the hot
water storage chamber 23 as illustrated above, a temperature of the air below the burner 1 in thecombustion chamber 24 does not become high. Thus, the combustion air from theair feed port 30 to thethroat part 5 can be suppressed to become high temperature. Therefore, a volume of the combustion air is not expanded, and a sufficient amount of primary air can be taken into the burner 1, which leads to the reduction of NOx generation. - According to the burner 1 of the above-described embodiment, the
burner head 3 is in a cylindrical shape having a plurality of first andsecond burner ports chamber 6 of the burnermain body 2. On the other hand, since the mixingpipe 4 is provided to direct to a direction where the mixingpipe 4 is crossed with the axis line of theburner head 3 at substantially right angles to each other, the sufficient burner port area can be secured, and the ejection speed of the mixing gas from the first andsecond burner ports chamber 6 to theburner head 3, and thus the size of the whole burner height can be suppressed to be small. Thus, the burner can be suitably used as an all primary air burner and a natural combustion type burner not using a fan, and downsizing and reduction of cost can be expected. Further, since a combustion surface becomes the side surface, dropping material s from an upper side are not accumulated on the first andsecond burner ports - Particularly, since the burner port is configured that a slit-shaped
first burner port 15 in the vertical direction, and the line of plural roundsecond burner ports 16 arranged in the vertical directions are alternately arranged each other in the peripheral direction and the vertical directions, a preferable burner port can be arranged, in which while a necessary burner port area is provided by thefirst burner port 15, rigidity can be kept by thesecond burner ports 16. - Further, as the
extension pipe 8 protruding inside the mixingchamber 6 is provided on the mixingpipe 4 of the burnermain body 2, a sufficient mixing distance inside the mixing chamber can be secured. Further, since an eddy flow does not occur when the mixing air flows into the mixingchamber 6 from the mixingpipe 4, the required primary air can be taken in using ejecting energy of the fuel gas. Further, the fuel gas and the air for combustion can be favorably mixed in the mixingchamber 6. Furthermore, since the protruded end of theextension pipe 8 is cut to be inclined so as to have theupward opening 9, a preferable configuration in which the more amount of primary air is taken can be obtained. - It should be noted that in the burner head, a burner port in a burner head is not limited to the burner port in the above-described embodiment. A size, a shape, an arrangement pattern, and the like can be suitably changed. The structure of an upper plate and a lower plate, and connecting configuration are not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, when caulking parts between an upper or lower plate and a side plate are bent in a V shape toward an opposite side of the upper or lower plate as illustrated in
Fig. 6 , the strength is increased, and thus warping under thermal conditions can be effectively prevented. - Additionally, in the above-described embodiment, the protruded end of the extension pipe is cut to be inclined so as to have the upward opening. However, contrary to this, the protruded end may be cut to be inclined so as to have a downward opening, or be cut in the vertical direction so as to have a sideways opening. In these cases, the amount of primary air taken in is more increased compared to a burner main body not having an extension pipe.
- Further, an extension pipe is not limited to the pipe using an end part of an internal pipe. An extension pipe can be formed by connecting only a portion corresponding to an opening edge of a mixing pipe in a mixing chamber.
- Furthermore, a burner of the present invention is not limited to the above-described hot water storage type water heater, and can be used as heating means in the other gas combustion appliance such as a hot water supply appliance in which water passing through the inside of the appliance is heated by a heat exchanger.
