Description

  The present invention controls a fuel supply pressure to a burner by using a combustion device that can be suitably used as, for example, a component of a gas hot water supply device, and more specifically, a pressure regulating valve of a type called a pressure equalizing valve. The present invention relates to a combustion apparatus configured to do so.

  In a combustion apparatus that supplies combustion air to a burner using a fan, it is desirable to make the air-fuel ratio constant and to improve the combustibility. Therefore, conventionally, there is means for controlling the fuel supply pressure to the burner using a pressure regulating valve of a type called a pressure equalizing valve (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The pressure regulating valve uses the discharge pressure of the fan as a signal pressure and controls the fuel supply pressure to the burner to a pressure corresponding to the discharge pressure of the fan. According to such a configuration, for example, when the supply amount of combustion air from the fan to the burner is large and the discharge pressure of the fan is high, the fuel supply amount to the burner is increased correspondingly, and the air-fuel ratio is kept constant. Can be achieved.

  However, the above-described pressure regulating valve uses, for example, a sirocco fan as a fan in order to set the fuel supply pressure to a pressure corresponding to the discharge pressure of the fan (for example, the fuel supply pressure is the same pressure as the discharge pressure). And when this fan is used at low rotation, the fuel supply pressure tends to be low. When the fuel supply pressure is high, there are few effects of variations in the pressure regulation tolerance, and the flow rate of the fuel ejected from the fuel ejection nozzle is increased and mixing of the fuel and air is promoted. According to the configuration described above, it is difficult to obtain such an advantage. Increasing the rotational speed of the fan provides the above-mentioned advantages, but it causes noise problems.

  As means for suppressing the above-described problem, there is means for providing an orifice in an air flow path connected to a discharge port of a fan, and providing a signal pressure detection unit upstream of the orifice in the air flow direction (for example, Patent Document 3). See). According to such a configuration, the signal pressure can be increased due to the presence of the orifice.

  However, the above-described conventional orifice has a configuration in which a wall portion serving as air resistance is provided over the entire inner circumference of the air flow path, and greatly reduces the cross-sectional area of a part of the air flow path. For this reason, a big pressure loss arises. For this reason, when the orifice is provided, it becomes necessary to increase the discharge pressure by increasing the rotational speed of the fan, but this causes a problem that noise during driving of the fan increases. .

JP 2007-107865 A JP-A-60-26220 Japanese Patent No. 2572773

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances described above, and is used in a pressure regulating valve even when the rotational speed of a fan used for supplying combustion air is not so high. It is an object of the present invention to provide a combustion apparatus that can increase the signal pressure to be increased and increase the fuel supply pressure to the burner.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

  A combustion apparatus provided by the present invention includes a fan for supplying combustion air to a burner, a signal pressure detection unit for detecting a discharge pressure of the fan as a signal pressure, and a fuel supply toward the burner A pressure control valve that controls the pressure to a pressure corresponding to the signal pressure, the combustion device being located downstream of the signal pressure detection unit in the air flow direction to increase the signal pressure The resistance plate portion is arranged so as to be biased toward a part of the peripheral edge portion of the discharge port from the center position of the discharge port in the facing direction of the discharge port of the fan. It is characterized in that only a region near a part of the peripheral edge is closed and other regions other than this are in an open state.

  According to such a configuration, since the resistance plate portion is located in the downstream portion of the signal pressure detection unit in the air flow direction, the signal pressure can be increased. On the other hand, the resistance plate portion only blocks a region near a part of the peripheral portion of the discharge port as viewed from the facing direction of the discharge port of the fan, and other regions are in an open state. For this reason, the pressure loss due to the presence of the resistance plate portion is considerably small as compared with the case where the conventional orifice is provided. Therefore, there is little need to increase the rotational speed of the fan for the purpose of compensating for the pressure loss due to the presence of the resistance plate portion. For this reason, according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the signal pressure and increase the fuel supply pressure to the burner while reducing the operation noise by setting the rotational speed of the fan to be relatively low.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the discharge port of the fan has a rectangular shape, and the resistance plate portion is any one of the four corners of the discharge port when viewed from the facing direction of the discharge port. It is provided so as to block only a corner or only a region near one of the four sides connected to the peripheral edge of the discharge port in a rectangular shape.

  According to such a configuration, it is more preferable to form the resistance plate portion in a small size that is largely deviated in one direction from the center of the discharge port of the fan to reduce the pressure loss.

In the present invention, preferably, the fan is a centrifugal fan in which an opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port is substantially uniform in an air discharge direction, and the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit are center lines of the discharge port. Is located on the opposite side of the fan from the tongue.
Here, the “tongue” of the fan is a portion that becomes the starting point of the spiral shape of the casing of the fan.

  In a centrifugal fan in which the opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port is substantially uniform in the air discharge direction, generally, the region on the opposite side of the fan tongue from the center of the discharge port is the tongue. The discharge pressure is higher than the area on the part side. Therefore, according to the above-described configuration in which the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit are provided in the region where the discharge pressure becomes high, it is advantageous to obtain a high signal pressure while reducing the rotation speed of the fan. .

  In the present invention, preferably, the fan is a centrifugal fan in which an opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port increases toward a downstream side in the air discharge direction, and the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit are close to a tongue of the fan. Is located.

A centrifugal fan having a configuration in which the opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port increases toward the downstream side in the air discharge direction is different from the centrifugal fan in which the opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port is substantially uniform. In general, the discharge pressure is higher in the region on the part side than in the region on the opposite side. Therefore, according to the above configuration in which the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit are provided in such a region where the discharge pressure becomes high, it is advantageous to obtain a high signal pressure while also reducing the rotation speed of the fan. Become.

  In the present invention, preferably, the fan is a centrifugal fan having a suction port on one side, and the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit are located on one side opposite to the one side of the fan. .

  In a centrifugal fan, the discharge pressure is generally higher in a region on the opposite side of the discharge port than in a region on the suction port side of the fan. Therefore, the above-described configuration is more preferable for obtaining a high signal pressure when the fan rotates at a low speed.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show an example of a combustion apparatus to which the present invention is applied and a configuration related thereto.
As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the combustion device C of the present embodiment constitutes a gas hot water supply device in combination with a heat exchanger 8 for heating hot water. Are provided with a burner B, a combustion air supply fan 2, an auxiliary member 4 attached to the fan 2, and a pressure regulating valve V provided in the fuel gas supply path 3. As will be described later, the auxiliary member 4 includes a signal pressure detection unit 40 and a resistance plate unit 41 for detecting a signal pressure input to the pressure regulating valve V.

The burner B is a gas burner, and a casing 5 for fuel distribution is provided below the burner B. The fuel gas that has passed through the pressure regulating valve V flows into the casing 5 and then proceeds from the jet port 51 toward the burner B, and is mixed with combustion air separately supplied from the fan 2 in the process. This air-fuel mixture is supplied to the burner B. The fuel gas ejection amount from the casing 5 toward the burner B corresponds to the differential pressure between the fuel ejection region pressure P1 around the ejection port 51 and the fuel gas supply pressure. As will be described later, the fuel gas supply pressure is the same as the signal pressure Ps detected by the signal pressure detection unit 40, for example. The casing 5 includes a plurality of solenoid valves 52.
By these opening and closing operations, it is possible to switch on / off the fuel gas supply from the inside of the casing 5 to a predetermined region of the burner B.

  The heat exchanger 8 is for recovering heat from the combustion gas generated by the burner B. The heat exchanger 8 includes a primary heat exchanging portion 81 for recovering sensible heat and a secondary heat exchanging portion 82 for recovering latent heat. Have. The hot water supplied to the water inlet 83 is heated in the process of sequentially passing through the secondary heat exchange unit 82 and the primary heat exchange unit 81, and is discharged from the water outlet 84. The combustion gas that has finished heat recovery is discharged as exhaust gas from the exhaust port 11 at the top of the can 1. In the present embodiment, only one set of burner and heat exchanger is provided in the can 1, but it is needless to say that a plurality of sets of these can be provided. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the secondary heat exchange part 82 for latent heat collection | recovery is comprised, the structure which has only the primary heat exchange part 81 for sensible heat collection | recovery as a heat exchanger, without having this. It can also be.

  The fan 2 is a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan, and has a structure in which a rotary blade 23 driven by a motor M is accommodated in a casing 22 having a suction port 21 on one side 26a. The fan 2 is attached to the lower portion of the can body 1 using an appropriate bracket (not shown), and can supply combustion air discharged from the discharge port 20 into the can body 1.

  The pressure regulating valve V is a signal for inputting the downstream secondary pressure (fuel gas pressure in the casing 5) to the port 60 without being affected by the fluctuation of the primary pressure upstream of the fuel gas supply path 3. It has a function of setting a value corresponding to the pressure Ps (same in this embodiment). That is, the higher the signal pressure Ps, the larger the opening degree of the valve body 62. The structure of the pressure regulating valve V itself can be the same as that conventionally known, and detailed description thereof is omitted. The signal pressure Ps input to the port 60 is a pressure detected by the signal pressure detection unit 40 among the discharge pressure of the fan 2.

  The auxiliary member 4 is configured separately from the fan 2 and the can 1, and is attached to the fan 2. Preferably, the auxiliary member 4 is detachable from the fan 2 so that the parts can be easily replaced. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the auxiliary member 4 includes a resistance plate portion 41, a support portion 42 that extends downward from the edge of the resistance plate portion 41 and supports the resistance plate portion 41, and the support portion 42. A signal pressure detection unit 40 is provided. The auxiliary member 4 can be entirely made of metal, but can be made of resin having excellent durability instead.

  The signal pressure detection unit 40 is provided by supporting the short pipe portion 43 in a state where the short pipe portion 43 is passed through the support portion 42, and the pressure acting on the one end opening 43 a of the short pipe portion 43 is the signal pressure Ps. A part of the short pipe part 43 is configured as a pipe connection part 43b protruding to the outer surface side of the support part 42, and a pipe member 65 for connecting to the pressure regulating valve V is connected to the pipe connection part 43b. One end is connected.

  The auxiliary member 4 is attached to the peripheral edge 24 of the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. More specifically, the discharge port 20 has a rectangular shape, and the auxiliary member 4 closes only one corner c1 of the four corners c1 to c4 of the discharge port 20 with the resistance plate 41. As shown in FIG. As this attachment means, for example, the support portion 42 is formed in a substantially L shape in a plan sectional view, and the screw body 90, after the inner surface side of the support portion 42 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the casing 22 of the fan 2, A means for fixing using the screw body insertion hole 49 and the screw hole 29 can be employed. The casing 22 of the fan 2 is provided with a notched or non-notched opening 25, and the short pipe portion 43 is inserted into the opening 25, thereby the short pipe portion 43 and the casing 22. Interference with is avoided. The opening 25 is appropriately closed by the support portion 42.

  The resistance plate portion 41 is positioned downstream of the signal pressure detection unit 40 in the air flow direction and plays a role of increasing the signal pressure Ps. The resistance plate portion 41 is formed in, for example, a triangular shape in plan view, and efficiently closes the corner portion c1 of the discharge port 20 in a state where the size is reduced. Of the four corners c1 to c4, the corner c1 is a corner located on the opposite side to the tongue 27 of the fan 2 across the center line CL of the discharge port 20, as shown in FIG. Part. Further, the corner c1 is also a corner located on one side 26b opposite to the one side 26a where the suction port 21 of the fan 2 is provided, as shown in FIG. Part shown by cross-hatching). The resistance plate portion 41 has an area other than the corner portion c1 of the discharge port 20 open. Of course, the signal pressure detection unit 40 is located at the corner c1, and is provided so that the discharge pressure of the fan 2 at the corner c1 can be detected as the signal pressure Ps. Unlike the fan 2 </ b> A described later with reference to FIG. 6, the fan 2 is configured such that the opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port 20 is substantially uniform in the air discharge direction (vertical direction in the present embodiment).

  Next, the operation of the combustion apparatus C configured as described above will be described.

  When the fan 2 is driven and the burner B is driven and burned by receiving fuel gas, the pressure regulating valve V receives the signal pressure Ps detected by the signal pressure detection unit 40 via the piping member 65, and the burner The fuel gas supply pressure toward B is controlled to be the same pressure as the signal pressure Ps. As a result, the air-fuel ratio in the burner B can be kept constant.

  As described above, since the resistance plate portion 41 is located downstream of the signal pressure detection unit 40 in the air flow direction, this increases the pressure in the vicinity of the signal pressure detection unit 40, and the signal pressure Ps. Can be increased. On the other hand, the resistance plate portion 41 is formed in a small size, and only closes one corner c <b> 1 of the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. The opening area of the discharge port 20 is secured to a large size. For this reason, there is little need to increase the rotational speed of the fan 2 for the purpose of compensating for the pressure loss due to the presence of the resistance plate portion 41. For this reason, in this combustion apparatus C, the fuel gas supply pressure Ps toward the burner B can be increased while the rotational speed of the fan 2 is made relatively low to reduce the operating noise.

  The fan 2 is, for example, a sirocco fan, and since the opening area of the discharge port 20 is substantially uniform in the air discharge direction, a region on the opposite side of the discharge port 20 from the region on the tongue portion 27 side. This tends to increase the discharge pressure. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2B, the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41 are provided in such a region where the discharge pressure becomes high. Further, in the discharge port 20, the discharge pressure tends to be higher in the region on the one side 26 b side opposite to the region on the one side 26 a side where the suction port 21 is provided. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2A, the signal pressure detector 40 and the resistor plate 41 are also provided in such a region. If these things are totaled, the signal pressure detection part 40 and the resistance board part 41 will be provided in the location where a pressure becomes the highest among each part of the discharge outlet 20. FIG. Therefore, it is optimal for obtaining a high signal pressure Ps while reducing the rotation speed of the fan 2.

In this combustion apparatus C, since the auxiliary member 4 is provided with the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41, it is necessary to assemble the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41 individually with respect to the fan 2. Therefore, it is easy to assemble them. Further, if a plurality of types of auxiliary members 4 having different relative positional relationships between the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41 are prepared, for example, the type of fuel gas is changed. When it is necessary to change the positional relationship between the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41, the auxiliary member 4 may be replaced with another auxiliary member. Therefore, there is also an advantage that such a specification change can be easily and appropriately performed.

  5 to 9 show other embodiments of the present invention. In these drawings, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals as in the above embodiment.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the configuration of the auxiliary member 4 </ b> A is different from the auxiliary member 4 described above. First, the auxiliary member 4A is provided with a frame portion 48 that can be locked to the peripheral edge 24 so as to surround the peripheral edge 24 of the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. If such a frame portion 48 is provided, the attachment of the auxiliary member 4A to the fan 2 can be made more stable. Also in the auxiliary member 4 described above, the frame portion 48 can be provided. Although omitted in FIG. 5, as the means for securely fixing the auxiliary member 4 </ b> A to the fan 2, the same screwing means as the auxiliary member 4 described above can be used.

  The resistance plate portion 41A provided in the auxiliary member 4A has a rectangular shape in plan view, and closes these regions in a state of straddling between the two corners c1 and c2 of the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. is doing. In other words, the resistance plate portion 41A is located near one side 24a among the four sides 24a to 24d connected to the rectangular shape of the peripheral edge 24 of the discharge port 20, and has a narrow width near the one side 24a. The area AR1 is closed. The other region of the discharge port 20 is in an open state. The signal pressure detection unit 40 is preferably located at the corner c1 where the discharge pressure is highest as described above. However, in the area AR1, it is possible to arrange other than the corner c1.

  According to this embodiment, compared with the resistor plate portion 41 of the above embodiment, the size of the resistor plate portion 41A is slightly larger, and the resistance against the discharge pressure from the fan 2 is increased accordingly, but the resistor plate portion 41A is Only the narrow area AR1 near the one side 24a of the peripheral edge 24 of the discharge port 20 is blocked. Therefore, the pressure loss can be considerably reduced. Further, since the resistance plate portion 41A and the signal pressure detection portion 40 are located on the opposite side of the tongue portion 27 of the fan 2, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, the resistance plate portion 41A and the signal pressure detection portion 40 are more effective in obtaining a high signal pressure Ps. preferable.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the fan 2 </ b> A has the peripheral edge 24 of the discharge port 20 inclined so as to be widened, and the opening cross-sectional area of the discharge port 20 increases toward the downstream side in the air discharge direction (upper side in the drawing). ing. The resistance plate portion 41 </ b> B closes only the corner portion c <b> 4 of the discharge port 20. The corner c4 is a portion of the four corners c1 to c4 that is located near the tongue 27 of the fan 2 and on the one surface 26b side opposite to the one surface 26a provided with the suction port 21. (Part shown by cross-hatching in FIG. 2C). The signal pressure detection unit 40 is located at the corner c4.

  According to the present embodiment, in the fan 2A, unlike the fan 2 of the previous embodiment, the discharge pressure of the region on the tongue 27 side of the discharge port 20 is higher than the region on the opposite side. easy. On the other hand, the signal pressure detection part 40 and the resistance plate part 41B are provided in such a region where the discharge pressure becomes high. Of the discharge port 20, the discharge pressure tends to be higher in the region on the one side 26 b side opposite to the region on the one side 26 a side where the suction port 21 is provided, and the signal pressure detection unit 40 and The point that the resistance plate portion 41B is provided is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, the signal pressure detection unit 40 and the resistance plate unit 41B are provided at the portion where the pressure is highest among the respective portions of the discharge port 20 of the fan 2A, and the rotational speed of the fan 2A. It is optimal to obtain a high signal pressure Ps while lowering the speed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, in the discharge port 20 of the fan 2A, the area AR2 (cross-hatched area) straddling between the two corners c3 and c4 is closed by the resistance plate (resistance). The illustration of the plate portion is omitted, and this is the same in FIG. 8 described later). In other words, in the present embodiment, the resistance plate portion is positioned near one side 24c of the peripheral edge portion 24 of the discharge port 20, and only the narrow area AR2 near this one side 24c is closed. Of course, the signal pressure detection unit is also arranged in the area AR2. The configuration of the present embodiment is similar to that of FIG. 5C. Compared to the configuration shown in FIG. 6C, the size of the resistance plate portion is slightly larger, but the opening area of the discharge port 20 is still the same. It is possible to appropriately detect the signal pressure Ps in a region where the discharge pressure becomes high while ensuring a large amount.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8A, a signal pressure detecting portion and a resistor plate portion (not shown) are provided in a partial area AR3 near the side 24d in the peripheral portion 24 surrounding the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. Is provided. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5B, the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate unit (illustrated) are formed in a partial area AR4 near the side 24a so as to avoid the two corners c1 and c2 of the discharge port 20. Abbreviation) is provided. In order to increase the signal pressure detected by the signal pressure detection unit as much as possible, it is preferable to provide the signal pressure detection unit and the resistance plate at the corner c1 (corner c4 in the fan 2A in FIG. 6). You may try to avoid the area. In the present invention, the resistance plate portion is arranged to be deviated from the central position of the discharge port of the fan toward a portion of the peripheral portion of the discharge port, and only the region near the partial portion of the peripheral portion is blocked, The area may be open. The signal pressure detection part should just be located in the air flow direction upstream part of a resistance board part.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the signal pressure detection unit 40 is provided in the fan 2, whereas the resistance plate portion 41 </ b> C is provided in the can 1. The resistance plate portion 41 </ b> C closes a part of the discharge port 20 at a position slightly above the discharge port 20 of the fan 2. Even in such a configuration, it is possible to increase the signal pressure Ps detected by the signal pressure detection unit 40 and obtain the intended effect of the present invention.

  As can be understood from the present embodiment, in the present invention, it is possible to dispose the resistance plate part slightly away from the discharge port of the fan, and the resistance plate part can be either inside or outside the discharge port of the fan. It doesn't matter if it is located in. In the present invention, it is a requirement that the resistance plate portion be arranged so as to be biased from the central position of the discharge port toward a part of the peripheral portion. This requirement is satisfied when the discharge port of the fan is viewed in a facing direction. It only has to be. Here, “face-to-face view” means a view from the face-to-face direction of the discharge port, for example, a plan view when the fan discharge port is an upward opening, and a bottom view when the discharge port is a downward opening. It is. In the configuration shown in FIG. 9, the signal pressure detection unit 40 is provided in the discharge port 20, but the signal pressure detection unit 40 is also brought close to the discharge port 20 and discharged from the discharge port 20 like the resistance plate portion 41 </ b> C. It is also possible to adopt a configuration provided outside of 20. Moreover, it can also be set as the structure which has arrange | positioned both the resistance board part and the signal pressure detection part inside the discharge outlet.

  The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiment. The specific configuration of each part of the combustion apparatus according to the present invention can be variously changed in design.

  For example, the resistance plate portion may not be a substantially triangular or rectangular flat plate shape, and may be a flat plate shape different from these or a plate shape other than the flat plate shape (for example, a curved plate shape or a square shape). It is also possible to use a bent plate shape or the like. The signal pressure detection unit only needs to be able to detect the discharge pressure (signal pressure) of the fan. For example, a configuration in which a through hole is formed in the casing of the fan so that the discharge pressure acts on the opening of the through hole. Alternatively, the other end of the piping member whose one end is connected to the pressure regulating valve may be inserted into the through hole so that the discharge pressure acts on the opening at the other end of the piping member. The pressure regulating valve only needs to have a function of controlling the fuel supply pressure toward the burner to a pressure corresponding to the signal pressure, and its specific structure is not limited.

  A fan other than a centrifugal fan can be used as the fan. Although not very realistic, it is also possible to form the fan discharge port in a shape other than a rectangle, for example, an oval shape or a circular shape, and even in such a case, the present invention can be applied. .

  The combustion apparatus according to the present invention can be configured, for example, as a reverse combustion type (a system in which the combustion gas generated by the burner travels downward), and the direction in which the combustion air and the combustion gas travel is limited upward. Not. Further, the combustion apparatus according to the present invention does not need to be used for a hot water supply apparatus, and can be configured as a combustion apparatus for a hot air apparatus or an incinerator, for example, and a specific application is not limited.
