Description

Instant heater for hot smoke machine 【0001】

The present invention relates to a heater for a smoke machine, and more particularly to a heater for heating and vaporizing smoke oil stored in a smoke machine into smoke and outputting it.

【0002】

There is a commercially available smoke machine that is suitable for use with stage performances. This type of smoke machine heats vaporized oil stored inside into a mist and ejects it, creating a misty effect on the stage. The conventional smoke machine usually has an electric heating rod, and a pipe made of a heat conductive material is spirally wrapped around the outer circumference of the electric heating rod, and one end of the pipe is connected with the pump, and the pump is additionally stored with a pump. The fuel tank is connected, so that when the electric heating rod is heated, heat is transferred to the pipeline through the heat conduction, and the smoke oil in the pipeline is heated to be vaporized into a mist and ejected from the other end of the pipeline, and further wound into a spiral shape. The pipeline can increase the time it takes for the fumes to be heated, so that the fumes can be reliably vaporized into a mist.

[0003]

However, there are some problems in the use of such a smoke machine. In detail, the smoke machine heats the smoke oil indirectly through the heat conduction, so a long warm-up time is required, and the pipe wound around the outside of the heating rod is The contact area of the outside world is increased, causing most of the heat to be quickly dissipated. Therefore, the heat storage material must be coated on the outside of the pipeline. Therefore, the design of the smoke machine is inefficient by indirect heating of the pipeline by the heat conductive material. Therefore, the speed of vaporization of the smoke oil is not fast enough, causing the smoke machine to be unable to operate continuously for too long. In addition, since the smoke machine only heats the smoke oil indirectly through the heat conduction, the smoke machine needs to be preheated after starting from the stop state. ~10 minutes to work, and in the standby state when there is no smoke spray, the heating rod still needs to continue intermittent heating, so that the pipe of the fog machine maintains a certain temperature, so that the smoke can be provided in a timely manner, so that the whole smoke machine The temperature is often kept at a high temperature. To prevent the temperature of the case from being too high, the volume must also be increased, and the related electronics Parts are more susceptible to damage and the heating of the heating rods consumes more power.

[0004]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a heater for a smoke machine, comprising a heating rod comprising an outer section and an inner section, and an outer surface extending between the inner and outer sections, the inner section of the heating rod An outer tube that is to be electrically connected to a power supply system of a smoke machine, and is disposed on an outer circumference of the heating rod, the outer tube including a first end facing the outer section and a second end facing the inner section. The outer tube further includes an inner circumference extending between the first and second ends, the inner circumference is separated by a tube chamber, and is sealingly fixed to one end cover of the first end of the outer tube, and the end cover includes a communicating with the heating passage The outlet cover covers the outer side of the outer portion of the heating rod, and a connecting cover is sealingly fixed to the second end of the outer tube, and the connecting cover comprises a set of connecting holes communicating with the heating passage, the outer surface of the heating rod and the outer surface A heating passage is formed between the inner circumference of the tube, the end cover and the connecting cover, and a conduit is disposed at one end of the sleeve in the socket of the connecting cover, and the other end of the tube is to be used with the fog machine. The storage tank is connected.

[0005]

The heater of the present invention directly heats the smoke oil to the state of vaporization through the heating rod, and can achieve the vaporization smoke effect without other heat storage or heat conduction devices, thereby increasing the heating rate, because it can be continued without heat storage. The smoke is uninterrupted, and no heat storage and heat preservation is required during standby, which will not cause the loss of spare heat energy, resulting in waste of electricity and electricity, and further saving energy. In addition, since the heating oil directly heats the smoke oil, the heating speed is fast, so that the time for warming up the smoke machine can be greatly reduced, and since the warm-up time is short, the smoke machine does not need to be insulated during the standby state. There is no need to install insulation materials to maintain the heat storage temperature, which can greatly reduce the standby temperature of the smoke machine and greatly reduce the internal space of the body, so that the overall size of the body can be greatly reduced, and more design can be reduced, and the material cost can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. The probability of damage to electronic parts, because it does not require heat storage and insulation, can save the insulation material and further reduce costs.

[0006]

In addition, a spiral baffle is received between the inner tube of the outer tube and the inner periphery of the outer tube and the outer surface of the heating rod. The flow guiding member includes an outer circumference and an inner circumference, and the flow guiding member The outer peripheral edge abuts the inner circumference of the outer tube, and the inner peripheral edge of the flow guide abuts the outer surface of the heating rod to separate the spiral heating passage.

【0007】

Alternatively, the inner circumference of the outer tube is spiral, and the inner circumference includes a spiral peak that abuts the heating rod against the outer surface of the heating rod, and a spiral peak and valley area separated from the outer surface is separated by a spiral heating. path.

[0008]

Wherein the outer surface of the heating rod is spiral, the outer surface includes a spiral peak that abuts against the inner circumference of the outer tube, and a spiral peak and valley region spaced from the inner circumference separates the spiral heating passage.

【0009】

The end cap includes a groove chamber formed on the end surface, the bottom surface of the groove chamber defining an abutting surface for providing an end surface of the outer portion of the heating rod, and the end cover further includes a plurality of drainage grooves formed on the abutting surface.

Heating rod 52 is heated to vaporized into smoke-like.

[0022]

Referring to Figures 8-10, the present invention further provides the heater 50 of the third embodiment. The heater 50 of the third embodiment does not include the flow guiding member 62 as compared with the heater 50 of the first embodiment. The outer surface 58 of the heating rod 52 of the heater 50 of the third embodiment is located between the end surface of the outer section 54 and the inner section 56 in a helical groove, that is, a helical peak is defined at the outer surface 58. 58A and the helical peak valley 58B, the peak 58A abuts against the inner periphery 70 of the outer tube 64, and the peak valley 58B is spaced from the inner circumference 70, such that the outer surface 58 of the heating rod 52 and the outer tube 64 are inside.

[0023]

The heater 50 of the present invention directly heats the smoke oil to the state of vaporization into the smoke through the heating rod 52, and can achieve the vaporization smoke effect without other heat storage or heat conduction means, thereby increasing the heating rate because no heat storage is required. It can continue to smoke continuously (the traditional smoke machine device must stop the smoke to preheat when the heat storage temperature is insufficient), and does not need heat storage and heat preservation during standby, which will not cause the loss of excess heat energy, resulting in air consumption and waste of electricity. Achieve energy savings. In addition, since the heating oil is directly heated by the heating rod 52, the heating speed is fast, so that the time for warming up the fog machine 10 can be greatly reduced, and since the warm-up time is short, the fog machine 10 does not need to stand by. Insulation can save the heat storage temperature without adding insulation material. This can greatly reduce the standby temperature of the smoke machine 10 and greatly reduce the internal space of the machine body, so that the overall size of the machine body can be greatly reduced, and more design and material cost can be reduced. Moreover, the probability of damage to the electronic components can be reduced, and since the heat storage and heat preservation is not required, the insulation material can be saved to further reduce the cost.

[0024]

In summary, the design can not only improve the efficiency to achieve continuous uninterrupted smoke, but also greatly reduce the production cost. The size of the fog machine can reduce the size of the machine and reduce the temperature of the body during standby. More than % of electricity use further saves energy.

[0025]

The basic teachings of this creation have been described, and many extensions and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the flow guiding member 62 of the heater 50 of the first embodiment may be non-helical, that is, the flow guiding member 62 is used to separate the bypassed heating passage 71, causing the smoke oil to enter the heating passage 71. The distance to be moved is greater than the length of the outer tube 64 in the axial direction, so that the smoke oil has sufficient time to be heated to vaporize into a mist, so that the flow guiding member 62 is in a shape capable of causing the smoke oil to move back and forth in the heating passage 71. can. Alternatively, the peaks and valleys 70B of the inner peripheral edge 70 of the outer tube 64 of the heater 50 of the second embodiment may be non-helical, for example, a plurality of convex portions which are non-linear in the surface of the inner peripheral edge 70 may cause the smoke oil to be heated. The passage 71 can only move in a roundabout manner. Alternatively, the peaks and valleys 58B of the outer surface 58 of the heating rod 52 of the heater 50 of the third embodiment are non-helical, for example, a non-linear groove is formed on the outer surface 58 of the heating rod 52, and the smoke oil can only follow the concave The displacement of the tank back to the ground also allows the smoke oil to have sufficient heating time to be heated to a state of vaporization into smoke.

[0026]

In addition, the heating passage 71 may also be non-helical, for example, the heating passage 71 may be a narrow channel having a circular cross section, and the inner diameter of the outlet 78 is reduced, so that the smoke oil requires a higher pressure to pass the heating passage 71. The air is forced out of the outlet 78 and into the heating passage 71. Further, it takes a period of time for the smog oil to reach the outlet 78, causing the smog oil to have sufficient time to be heated and vaporized into smoke.
