DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a combustion wick used in a liquid fuel combustor, and its purpose is to reduce the amount of fuel vaporized due to tar-like substances that are generated and accumulated in the fuel vaporization part of the combustion wick, and to reduce the amount of fuel vaporized. An object of the present invention is to provide a combustion wick that can maintain stable combustion for a long period of time while preventing the generation of irritating odors, carbon monoxide, etc. that accompany combustion.

A so-called suction vaporization type combustor sucks up liquid fuel by the capillary action of the combustion wick, and vaporizes and burns the liquid fuel from the tip of the combustion wick exposed in the vaporization chamber, that is, the surface of the fuel vaporization section. is widely used in oil stoves, oil stoves, etc. In this type of combustor, the fuel vaporization section is exposed to a high temperature and oxygen-containing atmosphere, so some of the liquid fuel becomes a tar-like substance due to oxidation, polymerization, etc. The phenomenon of accumulation easily occurred. In particular, if trace amounts of high-boiling components are mixed into the fuel (for example, when machine oil, light oil, salad oil, etc. are mixed into kerosene), or if some of the fuel components are altered (for example, when kerosene is left at high temperatures for a long period of time or exposed to direct irradiation), When the product contains oxides, peroxides, resins, etc. that are generated when stored under sunlight, the generation and accumulation of the tar-like substances increases significantly.

When this tar-like substance accumulates in the fuel vaporization section,
The capillary tubes on the surface or inside the fuel vaporizing section are blocked, inhibiting fuel suction and vaporization. As a result, the amount of fuel vaporized is abnormally reduced, and as a result, the amount of heat generated is significantly reduced, causing problems such as the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber being disrupted and the generation of odor, soot, and toxic carbon monoxide. Also, during ignition, the temperature of the fuel vaporization section increases rapidly due to the tar-like substance mentioned above.
The increase in the amount of fuel vaporized was prevented, and it took a significantly long time to reach stable combustion, during which time the generation of odors, soot, carbon monoxide, etc. due to unstable excessive combustion increased. Furthermore, there are dangerous situations in which tar-like substances adhere to the combustion wick and the metal parts that support it, making it impossible for the combustion wick to operate mechanically, making it impossible to extinguish the fire by lowering the combustion wick.

That is, fuel F (solid arrow) is sucked up within the main core 1 and vaporized from the surface of the fuel vaporization section 3. At this time, in the first conventional example, as shown in FIG. 2, a large amount of the fuel F is vaporized from the tip of the fuel vaporizing section 3. However, trace amounts of high-boiling components and degraded components in the fuel do not easily vaporize. For this reason, high boiling point components and altered components accumulate at this tip and change into a tar-like substance T (white arrow) under the influence of temperature and oxygen.
Accumulated. Furthermore, in the second conventional example, the third
As shown in the figure, by providing the vaporization suppressing layer 6 on the surface of the fuel vaporizing section 3, the fuel F can be transferred to the fuel vaporizing section 3.
A certain amount of vaporization occurs from the tip, but because the vaporization is suppressed, the amount of vaporization is smaller than in the case where the vaporization suppression layer 6 is not provided, and the temperature at the tip of the vaporization part increases due to the accumulation of heat. . Therefore, trace amounts of high-boiling components and altered components in the fuel are easily thermally decomposed and vaporized at this high-temperature tip. Furthermore, the inorganic pigment and silicic anhydride used as the vaporization suppressing layer 6 are a kind of oxidation catalyst, and the catalytic action promotes this thermal decomposition action. However, it is still insufficient to completely decompose and vaporize minute amounts of high-boiling components and altered components in the fuel, and a decrease in calorific value is inevitable. Further, this vaporization suppressing layer 6 also had the risk of gradually peeling off, cracking, etc. due to aging, ignition/extinguishing operations, repeated dry firing, etc.

However, as shown in FIG.
The entire structure contains and adsorbs an inorganic pigment dispersed in silicic anhydride, and the content and adsorption amount of the inorganic pigment is gradually decreased from the upper tip to the lower part of the fuel vaporization section 3. At the tip of the vaporization part, where the pore diameter is reduced to some extent due to silicic anhydride, vaporization is suppressed and the temperature reaches a high temperature, making it easy for trace amounts of high-boiling components and altered components in the fuel to be thermally decomposed. Furthermore, since the inorganic pigment and silicic anhydride are diffused and adsorbed throughout the interior of the vaporizing section, their catalytic action becomes active and the thermal decomposition action is greatly promoted. Furthermore, in the lower part of the fuel vaporization section 3,
Since the amount of dispersion and adsorption of inorganic pigments and silicic anhydride is reduced, the pore size does not become smaller, and therefore, a sufficient supply of fuel is always maintained. As a result, problems such as a decrease in combustion amount due to insufficient fuel supply to the tip of the fuel vaporizing section 3 will not occur.

An inorganic pigment containing 50% by weight of silicic anhydride is contained throughout the fuel vaporization section 3 from the top tip to the bottom of the fuel vaporization section 3,
Comparing these three types, the amount of adsorption was gradually decreased to an average of 0.2 g/ cm3 , as shown in Figure 5.
The content and adsorption amount of silicic anhydride and inorganic pigment are gradually decreased from the upper tip to the lower part of the fuel vaporization section 3 (3), (* mark) is the final treated one (1) (○ mark)

Furthermore, since silicic acid anhydride etc. are dispersed and adsorbed in the fuel vaporization section 3, the strength of the fuel vaporization section 3 is increased, and the mechanical movement of the combustion wick due to contraction of the fuel vaporization section 3 due to dry firing, etc. The problem of not being able to do this has also disappeared.
