Description

Combined Combustion Device and Connection Adapter

The present invention relates to a composite combustion device and a connection adapter used therein. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in connection adapters that are arranged between the appliance-side exhaust section of each combustion device and the collective exhaust stack.

Multiple combustion devices each having a burner and a combustion fan are installed side by side, and a combined exhaust pipe for discharging the combustion exhaust emitted from each combustion device to the outside. be. In this type of composite combustion system, the number of operating combustion systems is adjusted according to the load. Therefore, there is a risk that the combustion exhaust gas may flow back from the combustion device in combustion operation to the combustion device in which combustion is stopped via the collective exhaust pipe. In order to prevent the backflow of combustion exhaust gas as described above, it has been proposed to provide a check valve in a connection adapter arranged between each combustion device and a collective exhaust stack (for example, Patent Document 1). .

By the way, in the composite combustion apparatus as described above, when the flue gas passes through the stacking exhaust stack, the water vapor contained in the flue gas is condensed due to the temperature drop, and drain water is generated. This drain water flows into the connection adapter along the inner surface of the collective exhaust stack. If such drain water accumulates in the connection adapter, the drain water will hinder the opening and closing of the check valve. As a result, there is a problem that the passage resistance of the combustion exhaust gas increases and the backflow prevention function deteriorates. Moreover, if the drain water freezes in the connection adapter in winter and the check valve is not opened, there is a problem that the combustion exhaust gas is not discharged from the combustion device to the collective exhaust pipe.

FIG. 3 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional perspective view showing the instrument side exhaust section 5 and the connection adapter 7, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the connection state. A part of the configuration is omitted in FIG. 4 to avoid complication. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the instrument-side exhaust section 5 connected to the instrument body 20 is provided so as to surround the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 in order from the inside. It has a drain water recovery section 55 and an instrument side air supply pipe 60 provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the drain water recovery section 55 . These piping members are formed, for example, by drawing a metal plate such as stainless steel into a predetermined shape.

The instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 has an instrument upper-end exhaust opening and an instrument lower-end exhaust opening, and is vertically open. The instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 includes, in order from below, a lower large-diameter cylindrical portion 51, an inclined portion 52 extending obliquely upward and inward from the upper end of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 51, and a small-diameter cylindrical portion extending upward from the upper end of the inclined portion 52. and a portion 53 .

The large-diameter cylindrical portion 51 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 is fitted in the drain water recovery pipe 56 . The lower end of the drain water recovery pipe 56 extends below the lower end of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . Although not shown, the drain water recovery pipe 56 is connected to a connection pipe extending upward from the main body exhaust port 12a on the lower end side. The drain water recovery pipe 56 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 53 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 on the upper end side. The inner peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 51 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are connected by drawing or the like. Accordingly, the gap between the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the drain water recovery pipe 56 is closed at the lower end side of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . The drain water collection part 55 is opened upward. Therefore, between the small-diameter cylindrical portion 53 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the drain water recovery pipe 56, an upwardly open annular space is formed. An annular concave groove is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the upper end peripheral edge of the drain water recovery pipe 56 to accommodate the O-ring S1.

The drain water discharge pipe 57 is integrally connected with the drain water recovery pipe 56 . The drain water discharge pipe 57 has an inner opening end portion 58 that opens to the peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56, and the lower end of the end portion 58 is above the connecting portion between the instrument side exhaust pipe 50 and the drain water recovery pipe 56. , is connected to a drain water recovery pipe 56 so as to face the inclined portion 52 between the large-diameter cylindrical portion 51 and the small-diameter cylindrical portion 53 . Also, the drain water discharge pipe 57 is connected to the drain water recovery pipe 56 so that the upper end of the inner opening end portion 58 faces the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 53 . Although not shown, the drain water discharge pipe 57 has an open end on the outer side connected to a discharge pipe connected to a drainage groove. Therefore, when drain water flows into the drain water recovery portion 55 from the exhaust manifold 10 , the drain water is trapped between the lower end of the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the lower end of the inner opening end 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 . stored. Furthermore, when the amount of drain water flowing into the drain water collecting portion 55 increases, the drain water is discharged from the drain water discharge pipe 57 to the outside. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the connecting portion between the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the inner peripheral surface on the lower end side of the drain water recovery pipe 56 , and the lower end of the inner opening end portion 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 . , constitutes the drain water reservoir 63 .

The instrument-side air supply pipe 60 has an instrument upper-end air supply opening and an instrument lower-end air supply opening, and is vertically open. The lower end of the instrument-side air supply pipe 60 is located above the lower end of the drain water recovery pipe 56 . The instrument side air supply pipe 60 is connected to the main body air supply port 11a on the lower end side. The drain water recovery pipe 56 and the instrument side air supply pipe 60 are fixedly connected to each other by belt-like joint members 65 joined to predetermined positions on the outer peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the inner peripheral surface of the instrument side air supply pipe 60. It is A connection flange portion 64 that is bent outward and extends horizontally is formed at the lower end of the instrument-side air supply pipe 60 . The connection flange portion 64 is joined to the upper part of the periphery of the main body air supply port 11 a of the air supply collective portion 11 .

The connection adapter 7 includes, in order from the inside, a first exhaust pipe 70, a second exhaust pipe 80 provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the first exhaust pipe 70, and a second exhaust pipe 80 provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the second exhaust pipe 80. and an air supply pipe 90 . These piping members are formed, for example, by drawing a metal plate such as stainless steel into a predetermined shape.

The first exhaust pipe 70 has an upper end side opening and a lower end side opening. A check valve, which will be described later, is provided at the upper end side opening. Therefore, the first exhaust pipe 70 is opened downward while combustion is stopped. The first exhaust pipe 70 has a cylindrical portion 71 and a flange portion 72 that expands outward from the lower end of the cylindrical portion 71 . The cylindrical portion 71 has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 53 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 so that the cylindrical portion 71 fits onto the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . When the first exhaust pipe 70 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are connected, the first exhaust pipe 70 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 communicate with each other. The flange portion 72 is arranged so that when the first exhaust pipe 70 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are connected, the inner peripheral surface of the flange portion 72 substantially contacts the outer peripheral surface of the inclined portion 52 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . is formed in Further, when the first exhaust pipe 70 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are connected, the first exhaust pipe 70 (that is, the lower end of the flange portion 72) is connected to the previously described drain water collecting pipe. It is formed so as to be located below the lower end of the inner side opening end portion 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 that opens to the peripheral surface of the drain water discharge pipe 56 .

At the upper end side opening of the first exhaust pipe 70, there is a check valve 75 that is opened by the combustion exhaust discharged from the instrument body 20 during the combustion operation of the combustion device 2 and closed by its own weight during the stop of combustion. is provided. A support portion 76 that rotatably supports the check valve 75 is provided between the first exhaust pipe 70 and the second exhaust pipe 80 radially outward of the check valve 75 . Therefore, when combustion exhaust is discharged from the device body 20 and the check valve 75 is opened, the first exhaust pipe 70 and the second exhaust pipe 80 form an exhaust passage.

The second exhaust pipe 80 has a lower second exhaust pipe 81 connected to the drain water recovery pipe 56 of the instrument side exhaust section 5 at its lower end, and an upper second exhaust pipe 85 connected to the collective exhaust pipe 10 at its upper end. split. The lower second exhaust pipe 81 and the upper second exhaust pipe 85 are integrally connected by welding or the like. Note that the second exhaust pipe 80 may be composed of one pipe.

The lower second exhaust pipe 81 is open vertically. The lower second exhaust pipe 81 includes a lower small-diameter cylindrical portion 82, an inclined portion 83 extending obliquely upward and outward from the upper end of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 82, and a large-diameter cylindrical portion 84 extending upward from the upper end of the inclined portion 83. have. The small-diameter cylindrical portion 82 of the lower second exhaust pipe 81 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the first exhaust pipe 70 . Therefore, a gap having a constant width is formed between the first exhaust pipe 70 and the lower second exhaust pipe 81 in the radial direction. The lower second exhaust pipe 81 is formed so that its lower end is located above the lower end of the first exhaust pipe 70 and its upper end is located above the upper end of the first exhaust pipe 70 . When the lower second exhaust pipe 81 is connected to the drain water recovery pipe 56, the gap between the first exhaust pipe 70 and the lower second exhaust pipe 81 communicates with the drain water recovery portion 55 to drain the drain water. It functions as an introduction part that leads to the water recovery part 55 . The first exhaust pipe 70 and the lower second exhaust pipe 81 are fixed to each other by band-shaped joint members 89 joined to predetermined positions on the outer peripheral surface of the first exhaust pipe 70 and the inner peripheral surface of the second exhaust pipe 80, respectively. It is connected.

The upper second exhaust pipe 85 is open vertically. The upper second exhaust pipe 85 includes a lower large-diameter cylindrical portion 86 extending upward from the upper end of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 84 of the lower second exhaust pipe 81 and an inclination extending obliquely upward and inward from the upper end of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 86 . and a small-diameter cylindrical portion 88 extending upward from the upper end of the inclined portion 87 . The large-diameter cylindrical portion 86 of the upper second exhaust pipe 85 has substantially the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 84 of the lower second exhaust pipe 81 . An annular recessed groove for accommodating the O-ring S2 is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the upper end peripheral edge of the upper second exhaust pipe 85 .

The air supply pipe 90 has an air supply opening on the lower end side and opens downward. The air supply pipe 90 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameters of the large-diameter

cylindrical portions

86 and 84 of the upper and lower

second exhaust pipes

85 and 81 . Therefore, a gap having a constant width is formed between the upper and lower

second exhaust pipes

85 and 81 and the air supply pipe 90 in the radial direction. In addition, the air supply pipe 90 has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the instrument side air supply pipe 60 already described. Therefore, when the air supply pipe 90 and the instrument side air supply pipe 60 are connected, the gap between the upper and lower

second exhaust pipes

85 and 81 and the air supply pipe 90 becomes the gap between the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the instrument side air supply pipe 60. Communicate with the gap between. The lower end of the air supply pipe 90 is located above the lower end of the second exhaust pipe 80 (that is, the lower end of the lower second exhaust pipe 81), and the upper end of the air supply pipe 90 is positioned above the upper end of the second exhaust pipe 80 (that is, the upper second exhaust pipe). 85). An upper wall portion 91 is formed between the upper end portion of the air supply pipe 90 and the upper second exhaust pipe 85 to block the gap between the upper end portion of the air supply pipe 90 and the upper second exhaust pipe 85 . Alternatively, the air supply pipe 90 may be opened vertically without forming the upper wall portion 91 .

A large number of openings 92 are formed on the peripheral surface of the air supply pipe 90 . These openings 92 are formed to be positioned above the upper end of the instrument-side air supply pipe 60 when the air supply pipe 90 and the instrument-side air supply pipe 60 are connected. These openings 92 thus form an air supply into which outside air is introduced by operating the combustion fan 15 . Further, the gap between the upper and lower

second exhaust pipes

85, 81 and the air supply pipe 90 constitutes an air supply passage.

When the air supply pipe 90 is pushed into the instrument side air supply pipe 60, the lower end of the instrument side exhaust part 5 and the connection adapter 7 joins the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the instrument side air supply pipe 60. The downward movement of the connection adapter 7 is restricted by contacting the upper end of the joint member 65 , and the connection adapter 7 is positioned vertically. Also, at this time, the flange portion 72 at the lower end of the first exhaust pipe 70 substantially contacts the inclined portion 52 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . In addition, the lower end of the second exhaust pipe 80 (that is, the lower end of the lower second exhaust pipe 81) is located above the upper end of the inner opening end portion 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 that opens on the peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56. is also located above.

The collective exhaust stack 10 communicates with the outdoors. The collective exhaust stack 10 has connecting pipes 10 a branching from the main pipe at positions corresponding to the respective combustion devices 2 . The connection pipe 10 a has an outer diameter that substantially matches the inner diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 88 of the upper second exhaust pipe 85 . By connecting the connection pipe 10a and the connection adapter 7, the combustion exhaust gas from each combustion device 2 is discharged to the collective exhaust pipe 10, and the combustion exhaust gas is discharged to the outside through the collective exhaust pipe 10.

Next, the connection between the instrument-side exhaust part 5 and the connection adapter 7 and the connection between the connection adapter 7 and the connection pipe 10a of the collective exhaust pipe 10 will be described. The first exhaust pipe 70 is fitted to the instrument side exhaust pipe 50 , the lower second exhaust pipe 81 is internally fitted to the drain water recovery pipe 56 , and the air supply pipe 90 is internally fitted to the instrument side air supply pipe 60 . The connection adapter 7 is pushed into the side exhaust portion 5 from above. As described above, since the inner diameter of the first exhaust pipe 70 is set to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50, the first exhaust pipe 70 slides downward on the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50. pushed in. Then, the first exhaust pipe 70 is pushed toward the instrument side exhaust pipe 50 until the final position where the lower end of the air supply pipe 90 contacts the upper end of the joint member 65 connecting the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the instrument side air supply pipe 60. be At this time, as described above, the inner peripheral surface of the flange portion 72 at the lower end of the first exhaust pipe 70 substantially contacts the outer peripheral surface of the inclined portion 52 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . Therefore, at the lower end side of the first exhaust pipe 70, the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the inner peripheral surface of the first exhaust pipe 70 are substantially in surface contact, whereby the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 and the first exhaust pipe 70 are in contact with each other. A metal seal is formed with the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe 70 .

In addition, since the O-ring S1 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the upper end peripheral edge of the drain water recovery pipe 56, the lower second exhaust pipe 81 is pushed into the drain water recovery pipe 56 while pressing the O-ring S1. will be lost. As a result, an airtight and watertight seal is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower second exhaust pipe 81 on the lower end side of the second exhaust pipe 80 . At this time, as described above, the lower end of the second exhaust pipe 80 (that is, the lower end of the lower second exhaust pipe 81) is located on the inner side of the drain water discharge pipe 57 opening on the peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56. It is positioned above the upper end of the open end portion 58 . In addition, the check valve 75 is positioned above the upper end of the drain water recovery portion 55 .

After the connection adapter 7 is connected to the instrument side exhaust section 5 as described above, the connection pipe 10a is pushed into the upper second exhaust pipe 85 from above the connection adapter 7. Since the O-ring S2 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the upper end peripheral edge of the upper second exhaust pipe 85, the connection pipe 10a is pushed into the upper second exhaust pipe 85 while pressing the O-ring S2. Thereby, an airtight and watertight seal is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the upper second exhaust pipe 85 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting pipe 10a.

According to the present embodiment, as indicated by the thin dashed arrow in FIG. 4, the drain water D generated in the collective exhaust stack 10 flows into the second exhaust pipe 80 of the connection adapter 7 via the connecting pipe 10a. Then, the drain water D travels along the inner peripheral surface of the second exhaust pipe 80 surrounding the outer periphery of the first exhaust pipe 70 and is collected by the drain water collecting portion 55 provided in the instrument side exhaust portion 5 . Therefore, even if the drain water D flows into the connection adapter 7 , the drain water D does not hinder the opening and closing of the check valve 75 provided at the upper end side opening of the first exhaust pipe 70 . As a result, as indicated by the downward thick solid line arrow in FIG. Backflow of exhaust gas G can be prevented. Further, as indicated by the upward thick solid line arrow in FIG. 4, the combustion exhaust gas G can be smoothly discharged from the combustion device 2 during the combustion operation to the collective exhaust pipe 10 . Further, since the instrument-side air supply pipe 60 and the air supply pipe 90 of the instrument-side exhaust section 5 of the double-pipe system are communicated with each other, air can flow smoothly into the instrument body 20 from the outside as indicated by the thick dashed arrow in FIG. H can be introduced.

Drain water flowing down through the connection adapter 7 flows into a drain water reservoir 63 formed between the lower end of the drain water recovery pipe 56 and the lower end of the inner opening end 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57. do. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the lower end of the flange portion 72 of the first exhaust pipe 70 is located above the lower end of the inner opening end portion 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 that opens to the peripheral surface of the drain water recovery pipe 56 . is also located below. Therefore, when the first exhaust pipe 70 and the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are connected, the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the lower end of the flange portion 72 of the first exhaust pipe 70 and the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 is It is water-sealed by the drain water flowing into the drain water reservoir 63 . Therefore, even if a perfect seal is not formed between the inner peripheral surface of the first exhaust pipe 70 and the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50, backflow of the combustion exhaust from the collective exhaust pipe 10 can be prevented. can be done. Also, even if more drain water than the capacity of the drain water storage part 63 flows into the drain water storage part 63 , it is discharged to the outside through the drain water discharge pipe 57 . Therefore, the opening and closing of the check valve 75 provided above the drain water discharge pipe 57 is not hindered by the stored drain water. The inner peripheral surface of the flange portion 72 of the first exhaust pipe 70 is substantially in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inclined portion 52 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 . Therefore, even before the drain water is stored up to the lower end of the first exhaust pipe 70 in the drain water storage part 63, when the drain water flows into the drain water storage part 63, the drain water flows into the first exhaust pipe due to capillary action. It penetrates into the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the pipe 70 and the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 to water-seal the gap. In addition, since the flange portion 72 of the first exhaust pipe 70 and the inclined portion 52 of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 are substantially in contact with each other on the inclined surfaces, the drain water is likely to be retained in the gap. For this reason, if the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the first exhaust pipe 70 and the outer peripheral surface of the instrument-side exhaust pipe 50 is water-sealed by the drain water, the lower end of the first exhaust pipe 70 will be the drain water recovery pipe 56. It may be arranged slightly above the lower end of the inner opening end portion 58 of the drain water discharge pipe 57 that opens to the peripheral surface.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the second exhaust pipe 80 is connected to the drain water recovery pipe 56 so as to fit inside the drain water recovery pipe 56 on the lower end side.
