- An air stove comprises an outer shell, a heating unit 5, a control unit 8, an insulation layer 9, and also comprises a furnace cavity 3 and a fan system, wherein the furnace cavity is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity with at least two cavities connected at both ends;
- the fan system comprises a motor 601 and a fan blade 602, wherein the fan blade is arranged in the furnace cavity, the motor is arranged outside the insulation layer 9, and the fan blade is connected to the shaft of the motor;
- the heating unit 5 is arranged in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3; the fan system inhales air from one end of the furnace cavity, and the air flows through the heating unit and then enters the inner cavity of the furnace cavity from the other end.
- the shell of the air stove is composed of an upper shell 1 and a bottom cover 2.
- This is a shell structure form of a single stove. If the air stove of the present invention except the upper shell and the bottom cover is installed in other stoves, the structure that supports and isolates the stove can be regarded as the shell. For example, if the present invention is used to transform into a heating table, the tabletop is the shell. If the present invention is integrated into an integrated stove, the shell of the integrated stove is the shell.
- the furnace cavity 3 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is barrel-shaped, with one end open for placing pots and pans, and is divided into two spaces connected at both ends of the inner cavity and the outer cavity, so as to realize the cold and hot circulation of air in the furnace cavity, and also realize the electrical safety isolation of the heating unit 5; of course, there is also the function of thermal isolation, which prevents the heating unit 5, the furnace cavity 3, the heat insulation layer 9, etc. from directly heating the pots through air convection and radiation after heat storage, causing a delay in adjusting the firepower. This will not be explained in detail here, and will be introduced in detail later.
- the 3 has a conical space as the inner cavity and an outer cavity outside the conical space, which is a concentric structure in which the outer cavity surrounds the inner cavity; or two or more cavities may adopt a parallel structure, one or more inner cavities are used to place pots, one or more outer cavities are used to place heating units, and the inner cavity and the outer cavity are connected at both ends, so that after the pot is placed to seal the furnace cavity opening, the air circulates between the inner cavity and the outer cavity of the furnace cavity.
- the cavity where the pot is placed is regarded as the inner cavity, and the other cavities are the outer cavities, because the opening where the pot is placed is generally the center of the stove, the center is the inner cavity, and the periphery is the outer cavity.
- the insulation layer can be made of refractory insulation materials such as glass wool and rock wool. If household products require to be small and extraordinar, nano-aerogel materials with lower thermal conductivity can be used, such as silica nano-aerogel felt.
- the insulation layer can be thinner, making the appearance of the air stove thinner and more appealing; of course, vacuum insulation is used, the effect is better and the size is thinner, but the vacuum is easy to lose vacuum and fail.
- the heating unit 5 is assembled in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, mainly for safety considerations. It is electrically isolated by the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity. The user cannot touch the position where it is installed, and even children cannot touch it with iron wire.
- the fan system must at least include a motor 601 and a fan blade 602 to achieve its function.
- the fan blade 602 is mounted on the throat where the inner cavity of the furnace cavity is connected to the bottom of the outer cavity.
- the motor 601 is installed outside the heat insulation layer 9 to isolate it from the furnace cavity.
- the shaft of the motor 601 passes through the heat insulation layer and the furnace cavity and is connected to the fan blade 602.
- the motor is installed at the bottom of the furnace cavity, coaxial with the fan blade. This is a simple and space-saving installation method.
- the motor can also be installed on the side wall of the furnace cavity to transmit torque to the fan blade through gears, chains or belts.
- the arrow in FIG2 is an air flow indicator when there is no pot placed on the air stove.
- the air blown by the fan blade 602 is dispersed into the atmosphere. If a pot is placed, the opening on the furnace cavity will be sealed. As indicated by the arrow in FIG8 or FIG3, the air circulates inside the furnace cavity. In addition to the heat dissipation of the heat insulation layer and the heat storage loss of the air stove, the heat energy will be fully transferred to the pot, which is much more energy-saving than the gas stove. If the heat insulation layer is well insulated, the weight of the furnace cavity, the heating unit, the fan blade and other heat storage parts is as light as possible, and the efficiency of the air stove will be comparable to that of the electromagnetic stove.
- the motor 601 drives the fan blade 602 to rotate, blowing air into the inner cavity of the furnace cavity 3, thereby forming a negative pressure in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, and the air is sucked from the gap between the inner and outer cavities.
- the sucked air passes through the heating unit 5. If the heating unit 5 is outside the working state, the air flowing through will be heated, and the hot air is blown into the inner cavity by the fan blade, so that the hot air is used as a medium for heating.
- the motor 601 and the heating unit 5 are controlled by the control unit 8.
- the control unit 8 may be a circuit board including a variety of electronic components, which can realize the control of parameters such as the motor speed, the heating unit power, and the temperature of the furnace cavity; the control unit 8 may also be only one or more mechanical switches, and the switch is used to manually control the power on and off of the heating unit 5 and the motor. Even if the control unit 8 is a simple form of a mechanical switch, since the heating unit 5 is electrically isolated and meets the safety standards of Class II electrical appliances, the forced convection of hot air simulates the heating method of the gas stove fire pot, with high heat transfer efficiency and uniform temperature. Its safety and use effect are much higher than those of electric stoves, and the use effect is also much better than that of electric ceramic stoves and induction cookers. Compared with the two, it is not picky about the shape and material of the pot.
- the structure shown in Figure 1 can realize the basic functions of the air stove.
- the heating unit and the motor are controlled by a mechanical switch.
- the insulation layer is made thick enough, the inside of the shell will maintain a suitable temperature.
- the shaft of the motor is long enough, the heat transferred from the fan blades to the motor will be dissipated along the way, and a ceramic shaft with poor thermal conductivity can be used, or the motor shaft and the fan blades can be connected in a heat-insulating manner, so that there is no problem even if the motor is not cooled.
- the furnace cavity 3 includes a furnace cavity inner wall 301, a furnace cavity outer wall 302, and a furnace cavity cover 303. Any two of the furnace cavity inner wall, furnace cavity outer wall, and furnace cavity cover can form a whole and then be assembled with a third part to form a furnace cavity; or each of them can be an independent part, and the three can be assembled together to form a furnace cavity.
- the space surrounded by the furnace cavity inner wall 301 alone is the inner cavity
- the space surrounded by the furnace cavity inner wall, furnace cavity outer wall, and furnace cavity cover together is the outer cavity.
- the furnace cavity inner wall and the furnace cavity outer wall can be formed by rolling up metal sheets and welding, or by stretching or extrusion, or by casting or extrusion of refractory insulating materials such as clay, refractory clay, and refractory cement, forming at least two cavities connected at both ends.
- the inner cavity is a space for heating pots or food, and the outer cavity is used to place heating elements and other related elements.
- the inner wall of the furnace cavity can also be made of high-temperature resistant glass material, so that the heat radiation of the heating unit can directly heat the pot or food through the inner wall of the furnace cavity; of course, the inner wall of the furnace cavity is made of thin metal material, and part of the heat energy can also be transferred to the inner cavity.
- the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity is like a pot placed on an electric stove. It only needs to control the power of the heating unit 5 through the control unit 8 to keep the temperature in the outer cavity within a suitable range to work normally; this mode that does not require the operation of the fan system mainly uses natural convection heat transfer, and the heating efficiency is extremely low across several layers of thermal barriers. It can be used for stewing sweet potatoes, keeping warm, and other purposes that require low firepower.
- the inner wall of the furnace cavity and the outer wall of the furnace cavity can be connected together to form a part, and can be integrally formed, such as by extrusion or casting of refractory materials, by stretching and stamping of metal plates, or by welding.
- the inner wall of the furnace cavity 301 can also be combined with the furnace cavity cover 303.
- the motor and the fan blade shell are the same as the furnace cavity cover, which can ensure their concentricity.
- these three can also be independent parts assembled together to form a furnace cavity.
- the fan housing 4 can be integrally formed with the furnace cavity inner wall 301, or can be an independent part assembled with the furnace cavity. As shown in Figures 2, 14, and 15, if it is an axial flow fan, the fan housing 4 is not required.
- the fan housing is only a necessary structure in the centrifugal fan or mixed flow fan structure.
- the inner wall and outer wall of the furnace cavity can be made of 0.25 thick stainless steel material.
- Some concave and convex shapes can be stamped to increase strength, and even thinner stainless steel can be used.
- the furnace cavity cover 303 needs to install a motor, a certain strength and rigidity are required, so a 0.5 thick stainless steel sheet can be stamped and formed, and the strength can be improved by stamping reinforcement ribs.
- Stainless steel materials maintain good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance below 800 degrees. It is a preferred solution for manufacturing furnace cavities with light weight, less heat storage, long life, low price, and simple processing technology.
- a filter screen 306 is provided in the passage connecting the inner cavity of the furnace cavity and the upper end of the outer cavity.
- the filter screen may be a part of the furnace cavity or an independent part.
- the filter screen is used to prevent foreign matter from entering the outer cavity of the furnace cavity from here, and to prevent children from reaching in with wire from here and touching the heating unit 5.
- the filter screen holes may also adopt a shielding structure.
- a temperature sensor 13 can be added, and the temperature sensor is installed on the air outlet channel of the heating unit 5. If the stove is to be accurately controlled in temperature, a temperature sensor needs to be added. In such a high temperature environment, thermocouples, infrared temperature measurement and the like can generally be used. The figure shows a thermocouple. Considering the air outlet temperature of the air stove, it is better to install the temperature sensor 13 under the fan blade 602, because this is where the hot air converges, and the average value of the hot air mixed at various places can be collected.
- the temperature sensor 11 can be installed under the heating unit 5, and the temperature difference with the air outlet temperature of the nozzle 11 can be measured through actual testing. If it is too large, it needs to be set at a position with a smaller temperature difference.
- two temperature sensors can also be used, one to sense the temperature of the air outlet and the other to prevent dry burning.
- a fan blade shell 4 and an air guide wheel 10 can be added.
- the fan blade shell is arranged at the lower end connecting the inner cavity and the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, and the fan blade 602 is arranged in the fan blade shell; the air guide wheel is arranged at the end of the fan blade shell where the air is discharged, and the air guide wheel uses spokes and inclined surfaces to guide the flow direction of the air.
- the fan blade 602 shown in FIG5 adopts the structure of a mixed flow fan blade, so a fan blade shell 4 is arranged.
- the inclination of the fan blade shell is to allow the wind thrown onto it to flow toward the inner cavity of the furnace cavity 3. In fact, it can also be a straight surface.
- the fan blade shell 4 can be arranged on the inner wall of the furnace cavity, and can be integrally formed with the inner wall of the furnace cavity or assembled together in a split manner; the fan blade shell 4 can also be arranged on the furnace cavity cover 303, and the bottom opening thereof allows air to be inhaled; in short, the fan blade shell can be assembled in any manner at the position where the bottom of the inner and outer cavities are connected; the wind guide wheel 10 is installed at the end of the wind blade shell that is connected to the wind in a fixed or detachable manner.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an air guide wheel.
- a push rod 604, a spring 605, and a nozzle 11 can also be added.
- the shaft of the motor is set as a hollow shaft, and the spring is assembled in the hollow shaft of the motor; the nozzle is arranged outside the guide wheel, and the nozzle can move up and down along the axis direction of the fan blade shell; one end of the push rod is connected to the spring, and the other end is connected to the nozzle.
- the fan blade 602 is assembled on the motor shaft, and the spring 605 and the push rod 604 are assembled in the motor shaft; the motor shaft is also equipped with a heat sink 603 for dissipating heat from the motor shaft.
- the heat sink 603 If the heat sink 603 is processed into a fan blade shape, it will drive air convection when the motor rotates, which can not only dissipate heat from the motor shaft, but also dissipate heat from the motor body.
- a shock-absorbing pad 606 can also be added to the motor 601. When the motor is installed on the furnace cavity 3, the shock-absorbing pad reduces the vibration transmitted from the motor to the stove. As shown in FIG8 and FIG9, the sizes of the pots 16 in the two figures are different. The nozzle 11 automatically adjusts the height under the weight of the pot and the action of the spring 605 and the push rod 604, so that the nozzle and the pots of various sizes are kept at a reasonable distance, ensuring the efficiency of the air stove heating the pot.
- the air flow diffuses and the air with a lower temperature in the surrounding area is mixed due to the Venturi effect, so that the air temperature reaching the pot is reduced or the heating is not concentrated, thereby reducing the efficiency.
- the end of the push rod that contacts the nozzle 11 is ground into a spherical shape, or a small round ball is added at the position where the push rod contacts the nozzle. Stainless steel or ceramic beads can be used.
- the motor 601 rotates, the friction between the nozzle and the nozzle is small enough to prevent the nozzle from rotating.
- the function of this structure is to automatically adjust the height of the nozzle 11 according to the size and shape of the pot, which can increase the heating efficiency of the air stove.
- the heat energy generated by the heating unit will be absorbed by the pot, so no matter whether the nozzle is far or near from the pot, the efficiency should be the same. This consideration is correct but one-sided.
- the air temperature of the heating pot becomes lower, since the heat transfer area and thermal conductivity coefficient have not changed, but the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the pot has decreased, the heat energy absorbed by the pot will decrease. If the heating unit does the same work, it means that the temperature of the air sucked back from the inner cavity becomes higher.
- the heating unit When the air outlet temperature of the air stove nozzle is maintained consistent, the heating unit must reduce the power, which means that the firepower of the air stove becomes smaller; if the same power is maintained for heating, the temperature will rise, shortening the life of the heating wire, making the hot air density smaller, and the air volume blown out by the fan blade at the same speed will be smaller. High temperature increases heat dissipation, so that the insulation layer must use more temperature-resistant materials, making the working environment of the fan blade worse, etc., which brings a series of problems. Therefore, it is beneficial to adjust the height of the nozzle. Of course, you can also use special pots without setting the nozzle, or you can use manual adjustment.
- the four arrows of the furnace cavity 3 in FIG8 represent the flow of air.
- a pot When a pot is placed on the air stove, the open end of the furnace cavity is sealed by the pot. At this time, when the air stove is working, the air in the furnace cavity is in an internal circulation state.
- the fan blade 602 blows the hot air to the pot. After the hot air releases part of the heat energy to the pot, it is sucked into the outer cavity from the gap above the furnace cavity. After being heated by the heating unit 5, it is blown to the pot again. This cycle continues. Except for the heat loss of the heat insulation layer, the heat energy can only be absorbed and transferred by the pot, and the efficiency is very high.
- the motor 601 is arranged on the air suction side of the fan blade 602, and an air suction gap is arranged between the insulation layer 9 and the motor shaft through hole and the shaft of the furnace cavity 3.
- the motor 601 drives the fan blade 602 to rotate, cold air is sucked in from the air suction gap to cool the shaft of the motor.
- Fig. 9 shows two arrows at the position of the motor shaft, which represent that the cold air is sucked into the furnace cavity from here.
- a circle of heat-insulating circular cylindrical structure is also set at the position of the motor shaft through hole of the furnace cavity cover 303. This cylindrical structure can be designed as a double layer, and the interior can be filled with heat-insulating materials.
- the motor shaft extending into the furnace cavity cannot be cooled. It is in high temperature for a long time, and it is easy to deform at high speed, causing the fan system to fail. On the other hand, the heat transferred to the motor body through the shaft will increase, which will damage the life of the motor.
- this circular column can be set to be close to the fan blade, so that the area where the fan blade and the motor shaft cooperate can also be cooled, so that the connection between the fan blade and the motor is at a lower temperature, making the connection more reliable.
- the amount of cold air sucked in can be controlled by adjusting the gap here to achieve the required cooling effect.
- a heat sink can also be set on the motor shaft, then the hot and cold effect of the motor shaft is better, and the heat sink can also be processed into the shape of the fan blade, but the flow direction of its wind must be towards the air suction gap, otherwise it will make the air suction gap unable to inhale air and cause counter-effect.
- FIG10 is an exploded view of the heating unit 5, which provides a preferred solution of the heating unit.
- the heating unit 5 includes a heating wire 502, a heating wire coil rack 501, and a terminal 503.
- the heating wire coil rack is provided with a ventilation slot, and the heating wire is installed in the ventilation slot; one end of the terminal is connected to the heating wire by a conductive method, and the other end passes through the furnace cavity and is connected to the control unit by a wire;
- the control unit 8 includes a wind force adjustment module and a temperature control module.
- the annular groove on the heating wire coil rack is through the front and back in the thickness direction, and a clamp is provided to fix the heating wire in the groove, and the heating wire is welded or crimped on the terminal.
- the terminal 503 passes through the furnace cavity cover 303 and the insulation layer 9, and the position where it contacts the furnace cavity has a high temperature resistant insulation layer to prevent leakage.
- the part of the terminal exposed from the insulation layer 9 is connected to the control unit 8 by a wire, which can be connected to the switch element of the control unit 8, such as a relay, a thyristor, etc.
- a manual mechanical switch can also be directly connected.
- the electric heating wire coil rack can be made of refractory insulating materials such as ceramics, mica, and refractory cement, and its strength, density, specific heat capacity, resistivity, etc.
- the mica sheet is the lightest and has the least heat storage, but its durability and strength may not be as good as those made of ceramics, which requires experimental verification.
- the heating unit 5 does not necessarily have to adopt the solution of resistance wire. As long as the air can be heated to an applicable temperature and has a suitable life and cost, it can be adopted, such as carbon fiber, ceramic heater, silicon nitride heating plate, high-frequency heating, etc., but comprehensive consideration, the current price performance is the highest resistance wire.
- the operation panel of the air stove is provided with a wind force adjustment button 17 and a temperature adjustment button 18.
- the control unit 8 must be provided with a module for adjusting temperature and wind force, so that the air stove can be controlled by two parameters.
- the temperature adjustment can be achieved by directly adjusting the power, and the control unit can automatically adjust the power according to the temperature by adjusting the temperature setting value, but the latter requires a temperature sensor to achieve.
- Adjustable temperature is very important.
- the air stove can adjust the temperature precisely from dozens of degrees to more than 650 degrees, which is very beneficial to various cooking conditions, making cooking simpler and healthier. It can reduce more than 90% of the oil smoke while achieving the same taste as gas cooking. For people who care more about health, they can even achieve almost smoke-free cooking by lowering the temperature. Gas stoves can only adjust the firepower but not the temperature. Turning down the firepower only makes the flame smaller.
- the air stove is constant temperature, and when the air volume is reduced or increased, the power is automatically adjusted to keep the hot air at the set value. The temperature remains unchanged, but the air flow rate changes, and the overall heat blown to the pot or food changes, which is the same as the flame size adjustment of gas. If the air stove is like an electric ceramic stove or electric stove, and the firepower is adjusted by adjusting the power or temperature, there will be a lag. For example, if the temperature is 650 degrees now and the firepower is to be reduced to 300 degrees once it is reduced to less than half, the heating unit, the outer wall of the furnace cavity, the furnace cavity cover, the heat insulation layer, etc. of the air stove must be reduced from 650 degrees to 300 degrees.
- the heat stored in these components can be released for a period of time, and the temperature is slowly reduced. Even if the power of the heating unit is reduced to zero, the temperature difference of 350 degrees provided by the heat storage can last for tens of seconds before the desired firepower is finally achieved. However, it is different by adjusting the wind force. Although these components also store so much heat, they are in thermal equilibrium at the same temperature, and the stored heat will not be released. In extreme cases, if the fan system is turned off, the stored heat still needs to be transferred outward, but because the main heat storage components are separated by the inner wall 303 of the furnace cavity, they rely on natural convection through multiple thermal barriers to the pot, and the heat energy transferred per unit time is small, which is completely different from electric stoves and electric ceramic stoves.
- control unit 8 has only one of the three functions of wind force regulation, temperature regulation, and power regulation, or even none of the above functions, it can also achieve part of the purpose of the present invention, but it is not comprehensive. For example, if only the wind force can be adjusted, only the use effect of the gas stove can be achieved, which seriously reduces the cooking ability of the air stove; if only the power or temperature can be adjusted, there will be thermal lag, and when grilling or stewing, the wind force is too strong, resulting in the temperature not coming up, the food being dehydrated and dried, and other problems; only when both the temperature and the wind force can be adjusted can the advantages of the air stove be fully utilized.
- the temperature and wind force can be adjusted through buttons or touch screens, but it is faster to adjust through knobs, and it is more in line with user habits. As shown in Figure 16, a wind force adjustment button and a temperature adjustment button are set on the operation panel.
- the furnace cavity includes a furnace cavity inner wall 301, a furnace cavity outer wall 302, and a furnace cavity cover 303;
- the furnace cavity inner wall constitutes the inner cavity of the furnace cavity, and the inner cavity is the space for the air stove to heat pots or food;
- the furnace cavity inner wall, the furnace cavity outer wall and the furnace cavity cover together constitute the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, and the heating unit 5 is arranged in the outer cavity;
- the furnace cavity inner wall is connected to the top and bottom of the furnace cavity outer wall; it also includes a fan blade shell and an air guide wheel, the fan blade shell is arranged on the furnace cavity inner wall or the furnace cavity cover, the fan blade is arranged in the fan blade shell, and the air guide wheel is arranged on the air outlet side of the fan blade shell;
- the furnace cavity cover is arranged at the bottom of the furnace cavity, the motor is installed on the furnace cavity cover, and the motor shaft is connected to the fan blade after passing through the insulation layer and the furnace cavity cover; it also includes a temperature sensor 13, and the temperature sensor is installed
- the conical surface surrounded by the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity is the inner cavity. Both ends of the inner cavity are open. The large end is used to place the pot, and the small end is connected to the outer cavity so that the hot space in the outer cavity can enter.
- the inner cavity can also be in the shape of a cylinder or a step, but the conical surface has a higher space utilization rate. When the space for placing the pot is satisfied, more space can be left for the outer cavity, and there is more space for installing the heating unit.
- the hot air flow is sprayed into the inner cavity from the nozzle 11 to heat the pot 16 or food placed on the inner cavity.
- the sunken inner cavity can hold round-bottomed pots, and can also hold ingredients for baking, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.; if only flat-bottomed pots are considered, and the inner cavity is deliberately set shallow so that it does not look like a cavity, but as long as the pot is set up, the hot air sprayed on the pot is sucked back into the outer cavity of the furnace cavity through the fan system, and the cycle works in this way, it also completely falls within the protection scope of the present invention. There must be a certain volume of space between the wind blown by the fan 602 and the pot, which can be regarded as an inner cavity, but it is very shallow.
- the outer cavity which is a space surrounded by the inner wall of the furnace cavity, the outer wall of the furnace cavity and the furnace cavity cover.
- the outer cavity is connected to the top and bottom of the inner cavity, as indicated by the arrows in Figure 3, so that the hot air can circulate in these two cavities.
- the structures and installations of the fan housing, the guide wheel, the motor and the fan blades have been introduced above and will not be repeated here.
- an inner cavity drain pipe 304, an outer cavity drain pipe 305, and a one-way drain device 14 can also be added; the inner cavity drain pipe is arranged on the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity, and the outer cavity drain pipe 305 is arranged on the furnace cavity cover 303.
- the inner cavity drain pipe uses the space of the outer cavity drain pipe for drainage; the one-way drain device is arranged on the water outlet channel of the outer cavity drain pipe to prevent a large amount of air from being sucked into the outer cavity drain pipe.
- a circular groove is formed between the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity and the fan blade shell.
- the depth of this groove increases, and the inner cavity drain pipe 304 is arranged at the bottom of this groove for easy drainage.
- the outer cavity water drain pipe 305 is also arranged at the bottom of the furnace cavity cover.
- the water outlet of the inner drain pipe 304 is directly opposite to the water inlet of the outer cavity drain pipe, and the water of the inner cavity drain pipe is discharged through the outer cavity drain pipe.
- the water inlet position of the outer cavity drain pipe is in a negative pressure state, and hot air will not overflow from the drain pipe, but in a negative pressure state, cold air will be sucked in from the outside, so a one-way drain device 14 is set on the water outlet channel of the outer cavity drain pipe.
- the one-way drain device in Figure 11 is a thin sheet that can rotate around an axis. It is in a vertical state under the action of gravity, and the drain port is closed. Even if the seal is not tight, only a trace amount of air can be sucked in from here, which has no effect on the air stove.
- the one-way drain device 14 When water is discharged, the one-way drain device 14 opens to drain water under the dual effects of the kinetic energy of the water flow and the gravitational potential energy.
- the one-way drain device can be other one-way valve structures, but it requires a small opening force and a large opening space, such as a one-way diaphragm valve.
- a filter screen can also be set at the entrance of the inner cavity drain pipe 304 to prevent large particles of debris from entering.
- the shell includes an upper shell 1 and a bottom cover 2.
- the bottom cover is provided with a ventilation slot 201.
- One end of the ventilation slot is provided with an exhaust hole 202.
- the motor is placed in the ventilation slot;
- the bottom cover is also provided with an air inlet 203.
- the position of the air inlet allows the air entering the shell to flow through the control unit 8; and a cooling fan 7 is also provided.
- the air inlet 701 of the cooling fan is connected to the space where the control unit is located, and the air outlet 702 of the cooling fan is connected to the ventilation slot 201 of the bottom cover.
- the convex shape of the ventilation slot is provided on the bottom cover 2. On the one hand, it is to reduce the thickness of the entire stove and make the visual effect better. On the other hand, it is to concentrate the wind cooling of the cooling fan 7 to cool the motor 601.
- two or more cooling fans are used to cool the inside of the stove. Their approach is only to allow a larger flow of air to flow inside the stove, but there is no more scientific planning of the cold air path. In fact, it is only necessary to cool the operation panel, control unit, power supply, and motor that the user needs to touch. If the air flow path can be planned well, only a cooling fan is needed.
- the cooling fan can use an axial flow fan, but due to the obstruction of internal parts, a centrifugal turbo fan is used, which is more efficient, has a greater wind pressure, and can change the direction of air flow.
- the air suction port 701 of the cooling fan 7 is located in the space where the control unit 8 and the power supply 12 are located. Since the hot air density is lower and it will rise, the air suction port is extended to the top of the space to effectively absorb the hot air in the entire space.
- the bottom cover 2 is provided with an air inlet 203 at the location of the control unit 8 and the power supply 12. The position of the air inlet is preferably concentrated at the location of the heat sink and the components with large heat generation.
- the cold air from the outside is sucked in from here, and the electronic components are cooled at the first time, and then sucked in by the cooling fan 7, blown to the motor 601, and then discharged from the exhaust hole 202 of the bottom cover ventilation slot.
- This structure makes some trade-offs in cooling locations, clarifies the path of the cooling airflow, and makes arrangements for whether components should be cooled by suction or by blowing according to their characteristics. For example, if the location of the motor must be cooled by concentrated air with a higher flow rate, it is placed at the outlet of the cooling fan. This structure reduces the use of cooling fans and has certain practical value.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of the air stove, in which the three-dimensional effect of the main components can be seen. This figure is helpful for understanding the structure of the air stove.
- the fan blade 602 is installed in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, on the air inlet side of the heating unit 5, and the fan blade blows the air to the heating unit, and the air is ejected from the bottom of the inner cavity of the furnace cavity after being heated by the heating unit.
- the fan blade of this structure has a large outer diameter, and a large air volume can be achieved at a low speed, which is good for noise and motor life.
- the central disc of the fan blade connected to the motor blocks the path of the wind flow to the inner cavity, so it is necessary to open holes on the central disc of the fan blade to connect with the spokes, but when rotating at high speed, the spokes are equivalent to forming an entity, just like a fan, a table tennis ball can pass through the gap between the fan blades when it is stationary, once the fan rotates, it can no longer pass through, unless it is fast enough. Air molecules are also like small balls, and they can only partially pass through when the wind speed is fast enough. At this time, there is a contradiction. To increase the wind speed, the rotation speed of the fan blade 602 must be increased. When the rotation speed is high, the spoke rotation speed of the central disc is also faster.
- Figure 14 is only a schematic diagram, which is used to illustrate that the fan blades can also be installed in the outer cavity.
- the fan blades can be designed to be cup-shaped, and the fan blades are distributed circumferentially inside the cup wall.
- the heating unit 5 is also installed in the cup, which avoids the above problem.
- the power connection line of the heating unit can be led out along the inner wall of the furnace cavity to avoid the rotating fan blades.
- Figure 14 has no fan blade shell and no nozzle. It is only necessary to set holes for ventilation at the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace cavity. Meshes can also be set to prevent large particles from falling into the outer cavity.
- the features in Example 1 that do not conflict with the fan blade installation method of this embodiment can be adopted in this embodiment.
- the arrows in the figure are used to indicate how the air flows in the furnace cavity 3.
- the hot air in this embodiment is ejected from the upper part of the inner cavity. After the hot air completes the heat exchange with the cookware, it is sucked into the outer cavity from the bottom of the inner cavity. An air outlet is opened on the upper part of the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity. In order to prevent water from entering from here, the position where the air outlet is opened is made into a vertical surface.
- an extended shield can be set on the top, just as shown in Figures 2, 8, and 9, the extended inclined surface of the upper shell 1 where the cookware is placed covers the gap above the furnace cavity 3.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that the direction of air flow is consistent with the direction of its natural convection. For example, after being heated by the heating unit 5, the temperature increases, the density decreases, and the airflow flows upward; after being sprayed into the inner cavity and exchanging heat with the cookware, the temperature drops, the density increases, and the air sinks downward; in accordance with the direction of natural convection, the fan blade 602 does not need to do additional work to overcome the force of this natural convection, but instead increases the force driving the air flow.
- this structure may result in the temperature at the center of the pot being lower than the temperature at the edge.
- this can be improved by adjusting the position and direction of the air outlet of the furnace cavity.
- This problem is not a big problem in some commercial stoves. For example, in a cafeteria, when cooking large pots of food, the amount of food is large and the high edge temperature becomes an advantage. If the edge temperature is low, the intensity and frequency of stir-frying need to be increased to heat the food evenly. Therefore, this method has practical value in certain specific occasions, and by improving the air outlet, the heating effect in Example 1 may also be achieved.
- FIG15 shows the structure of an axial flow fan.
- a centrifugal fan can also be used.
- the air inlet of the centrifugal fan blade shell is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace cavity. If the disc-shaped heating unit in the figure is used, the air outlet of the centrifugal fan is blown directly. Since the heating unit area is too large and the air outlet area of the fan is small, it is impossible to provide uniform airflow to the heating unit. Therefore, the air outlet of the centrifugal fan may not be directly aimed at the heating unit, but by applying wind pressure to the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, the air flows through the heating unit more evenly. Since the air outlet pressure of the centrifugal fan is large, it can provide a sufficiently large pressure to the entire outer cavity.
- the structures and solutions in the first embodiment can be adopted in this embodiment.
- the guide wheel, nozzle, nozzle extension and lowering in the first embodiment do not conflict, but they cannot bring beneficial effects when used in this fan blade structure; while the manufacturing method of the furnace cavity, the heating unit, the control unit, the motor cooling and other features can adopt the same solution, which will not be repeated here.

Abstract
Description
本发明属于炉灶领域,特别是一种电灶。The invention belongs to the field of stoves, in particular to an electric stove.
现有各类炉灶还存在不足,燃气灶功能单一,火焰的温度高,油易裂解,食物易焦糊,即使调小火力,只是总体热能减小,局部温度依然高,煎炸需要更多的油利用其对流传热作为导热媒介才不至焦糊,所以燃气灶实际上导致烹饪不健康;由于要连接气源,使得位置固定不方便移动使用;还由于废气、熄火、燃气泄漏、高温明火引起火灾等安全隐患,尤其是老人及儿童使用时安全隐患较大;燃气灶近一半的热能没有被锅具吸收而直接逸散到周围环境中,效率低造成能源浪费,夏天炒菜很热;在没有管道天然气的地方,使用罐装燃气成本高,安全隐患大;天然气灶的火力受限于管道压力,同时使用的用户过多时,火力也不够大;但即使还存在这么多的问题,燃气灶还是当前烹饪中用得最广泛的灶具,这是因为当前用电的炉灶问题更多。比如用电炉灶中最流行的电磁炉,不仅挑锅,且由于铁体直接发热,升温过于迅速,导致锅温不易控制,非常容易炒糊,在同等功率下油烟比燃气灶大很多,炒菜不好吃且不健康;电磁炉的功能也与燃气灶一样非常单一。电陶炉就是在普通电炉上盖了一块玻璃,除了比电炉安全,其它方面比普通电炉还差,升温慢、蓄热大,效率低,面板容易烫伤人,也可能爆裂。以上是它们各自的问题,它们共同的问题是不能精准控制锅温,导致对个人掌握火候的技术要求高,且烹饪不够健康,功能单一,导致厨房电器过多造成拥挤和浪费。The existing stoves still have some shortcomings. Gas stoves have single functions, high flame temperature, easy cracking of oil, easy burning of food, and even if the fire is turned down, only the overall heat energy is reduced, and the local temperature is still high. Frying requires more oil to use its convection heat transfer as a heat transfer medium to avoid burning, so gas stoves actually lead to unhealthy cooking; because they need to be connected to a gas source, they are fixed in position and inconvenient to move and use; there are also safety hazards such as exhaust gas, flameout, gas leakage, and fire caused by high-temperature open flames, especially when used by the elderly and children. Nearly half of the heat energy of the gas stove is not absorbed by the pot but directly dissipated into the surrounding environment, which is inefficient and causes energy waste. It is very hot to cook in summer; in places where there is no pipeline natural gas, the cost of using bottled gas is high and the safety hazard is great; the firepower of the natural gas stove is limited by the pipeline pressure, and when there are too many users at the same time, the firepower is not strong enough; but even with so many problems, the gas stove is still the most widely used stove in current cooking, because the current electric stoves have more problems. For example, the most popular induction cooker among electric stoves is not only picky about the pot, but also because the iron body directly heats up, the temperature rises too quickly, making it difficult to control the pot temperature, and it is very easy to burn the pot. At the same power, the oil smoke is much larger than that of a gas stove, and the cooking is not tasty and unhealthy; the function of the induction cooker is also very simple like that of a gas stove. The electric ceramic stove is just a piece of glass covered on an ordinary electric stove. Except for being safer than an electric stove, it is worse than an ordinary electric stove in other aspects. It heats up slowly, has a large heat storage, is inefficient, and the panel is easy to burn people and may also burst. The above are their respective problems. Their common problem is that they cannot accurately control the temperature of the pot, resulting in high technical requirements for individuals to master the heat, and cooking is not healthy enough. The single function leads to too many kitchen appliances causing congestion and waste.

一种空气灶,包括外壳、发热单元5、控制单元8、隔热层9,还包括炉腔3、风机系统,所述炉腔分隔成内腔与外腔至少两个两端连通的腔体;所述风机系统包括电机601与风叶602,所述风叶设置在所述炉腔中,所述电机设置在所述隔热层9外,所述风叶与所述电机的轴连接;所述发热单元5设置在所述炉腔3的外腔中;所述风机系统从所述炉腔的一端吸入空气,空气流过发热单元后再从另一端进入所述炉腔的内腔中。An air stove comprises an outer shell, a heating unit 5, a control unit 8, an insulation layer 9, and also comprises a furnace cavity 3 and a fan system, wherein the furnace cavity is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity with at least two cavities connected at both ends; the fan system comprises a motor 601 and a fan blade 602, wherein the fan blade is arranged in the furnace cavity, the motor is arranged outside the insulation layer 9, and the fan blade is connected to the shaft of the motor; the heating unit 5 is arranged in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3; the fan system inhales air from one end of the furnace cavity, and the air flows through the heating unit and then enters the inner cavity of the furnace cavity from the other end.
如图2、图3及图1所示,由上壳1及底盖2构成空气灶的外壳,这是单灶的一种外壳结构形式,如果把本发明的空气灶除上壳与底盖的其余部分安装在其它灶具中,则对炉灶起支撑与隔电作用的结构都可视之为外壳,比如利用本发明改造成一张取暖桌,则桌面就是外壳,把本发明集成到集成灶中,则集成灶的外壳就是外壳。图2、图3所示的炉腔3为桶状,一端开口用于放置锅具,分隔成了内腔与外腔两个两端连通的空间,以便实现空气在炉腔内的冷热循环,同时也可以实现对发热单元5的电气安全隔离;当然,还有热隔离的作用,防止发热单元5、炉腔3、隔热层9等蓄热后通过空气对流及辐射直接加热锅具,造成调节火力滞后,此处不展开说明,后面有详细介绍。图2与图3中所示的炉腔3,圆锥形空间为内腔,除圆锥形空间之外的为外腔,是一种外腔包围内腔的同心结构;也可以两腔或多腔采用并列结构,一或多个内腔放置锅具,一或多个外腔放置发热单元,内腔与外腔两端连通,使得放置锅具密封了炉腔开口后空气在炉腔内腔与外腔间循环即可,放置锅具的腔视为内腔,其余腔为外腔,因为放置锅具的口一般为炉灶的中心,中心即为内,周边即为外。图3中的箭头指示空气如何在炉腔的内外腔之间循环,这种循环也是放置了锅具才有的效果,如果没有放置锅具,则如图2中的箭头所示,热空气大多会释放到大气中,炉腔吸入的大多是外界冷空气。只要有两个两端连通的腔,不管是同心结构还是并列结构,就可以实现功能,但也可以多个腔,比如在多个发热单元或多个灶眼的情况。As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 1, the shell of the air stove is composed of an upper shell 1 and a bottom cover 2. This is a shell structure form of a single stove. If the air stove of the present invention except the upper shell and the bottom cover is installed in other stoves, the structure that supports and isolates the stove can be regarded as the shell. For example, if the present invention is used to transform into a heating table, the tabletop is the shell. If the present invention is integrated into an integrated stove, the shell of the integrated stove is the shell. The furnace cavity 3 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is barrel-shaped, with one end open for placing pots and pans, and is divided into two spaces connected at both ends of the inner cavity and the outer cavity, so as to realize the cold and hot circulation of air in the furnace cavity, and also realize the electrical safety isolation of the heating unit 5; of course, there is also the function of thermal isolation, which prevents the heating unit 5, the furnace cavity 3, the heat insulation layer 9, etc. from directly heating the pots through air convection and radiation after heat storage, causing a delay in adjusting the firepower. This will not be explained in detail here, and will be introduced in detail later. The furnace cavity 3 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 has a conical space as the inner cavity and an outer cavity outside the conical space, which is a concentric structure in which the outer cavity surrounds the inner cavity; or two or more cavities may adopt a parallel structure, one or more inner cavities are used to place pots, one or more outer cavities are used to place heating units, and the inner cavity and the outer cavity are connected at both ends, so that after the pot is placed to seal the furnace cavity opening, the air circulates between the inner cavity and the outer cavity of the furnace cavity. The cavity where the pot is placed is regarded as the inner cavity, and the other cavities are the outer cavities, because the opening where the pot is placed is generally the center of the stove, the center is the inner cavity, and the periphery is the outer cavity. The arrows in FIG. 3 indicate how the air circulates between the inner and outer cavities of the furnace cavity. This circulation is also an effect that can only be achieved when the pot is placed. If the pot is not placed, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, most of the hot air will be released into the atmosphere, and most of the cold air inhaled by the furnace cavity is the outside. As long as there are two cavities connected at both ends, whether it is a concentric structure or a parallel structure, the function can be achieved, but there can also be multiple cavities, such as in the case of multiple heating units or multiple stove eyes.
由于炉腔的工作温度高,所以底部与侧面有隔热层9包裹,隔热层可采用玻璃棉、岩棉等耐火保温材料,家用产品要求小巧精致,则可以采用导热系数更底的纳米气凝胶材料,比如二氧化硅纳米气凝胶毡,保温层可以较薄,使空气灶的外观更轻薄精致;当然,采用真空隔热,则效果更好,尺寸更薄,但真空容易失去真空度而失效。发热单元5装配在炉腔3的外腔中,主要是从安全方面考虑,利用炉腔内壁301对其进行了电气隔离,其安装的位置用户不能触碰到,甚至儿童使用铁丝也难以触及,汤水进入炉腔也不能淋到发热单元;当然,安装在外腔中还解决了蓄热导致锅具调温热滞后的好处,像电炉、电陶炉这类灶具就无法像燃气灶一样调温迅速反馈,就是发热单元蓄热直接作用于锅具所致。图2中的发热单元为盘式发热器,这是由炉腔的结构决定的,如果炉腔的内外腔不是同心结构,则可能采用别的发热器结构会更好,任何结构及原理的发热器,只要能满足使用要求,都可以采用,但从优选角度考虑,重量轻、成本低、寿命长的发热器才是更好的,之所以要重量轻,就是考虑蓄热要少,这样空气灶升温快,关机后余热少。Since the working temperature of the furnace cavity is high, the bottom and the side are wrapped with an insulation layer 9. The insulation layer can be made of refractory insulation materials such as glass wool and rock wool. If household products require to be small and exquisite, nano-aerogel materials with lower thermal conductivity can be used, such as silica nano-aerogel felt. The insulation layer can be thinner, making the appearance of the air stove thinner and more exquisite; of course, vacuum insulation is used, the effect is better and the size is thinner, but the vacuum is easy to lose vacuum and fail. The heating unit 5 is assembled in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, mainly for safety considerations. It is electrically isolated by the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity. The user cannot touch the position where it is installed, and even children cannot touch it with iron wire. Soup cannot pour into the furnace cavity. Of course, installing it in the outer cavity also solves the problem of heat storage causing the temperature lag of the pot. Cookers such as electric stoves and electric ceramic stoves cannot quickly adjust the temperature like gas stoves, which is caused by the direct action of the heat storage of the heating unit on the pot. The heating unit in Figure 2 is a disc heater, which is determined by the structure of the furnace cavity. If the inner and outer cavities of the furnace cavity are not concentric structures, it may be better to use other heater structures. Heaters of any structure and principle can be used as long as they can meet the use requirements. However, from the perspective of preference, heaters with light weight, low cost and long life are better. The reason for light weight is to consider less heat storage, so that the air stove heats up quickly and has less residual heat after shutdown.
风机系统至少要包括电机601与风叶602才能实现功能,图2中风叶602装配在炉腔的内腔与外腔底部连通的喉部,电机601安装在隔热层9的外面,使之与炉腔热隔离,电机601的轴穿过隔热层和炉腔与风叶602连接。图2中电机安装在炉腔的底部,与风叶同轴,这是一种简易且节省空间的的安装方式,电机也可以安装在炉腔的侧壁,通过齿轮、链条或皮带等把力矩传递给风叶。图2中的箭头为空气灶上没有放置锅具时的气流指示,此时被风叶602吹出的空气散入大气中,如果放置了锅具,则炉腔上面的开口会被密封,则如图8或图3箭头所指示的一样,空气在炉腔的内部循环,除了隔热层散热及空气灶蓄热损失之外,热能将全部传递给锅具,比燃气灶节能很多,如果隔热层做到隔热良好,炉腔、发热单元、风叶等蓄热部分重量尽可能轻,本空气灶的效率将比肩电磁灶。如图2所示,电机601带动风叶602旋转,把空气吹向炉腔3的内腔中,从而在炉腔的外腔中形成负压,空气从内、外腔上面的夹缝中被吸入,被吸入的空气经过发热单元5,如果发热单元5外于工作状态,流过的空气就会被加热,热空气被风叶吹进内腔,如此利用热空气作为媒介进行加热工作。通过控制单元8对电机601与发热单元5进行控制,控制单元8可以是包括多种电子元器件的电路板,可实现对电机转速、发热单元功率、炉腔的温度等参数进行控制;控制单元8也可以仅是一个或多个机械开关,用开关手动控制发热单元5及电机的通断电。即使控制单元8为一个机械开关的简易形式,由于发热单元5电气安全隔离,符合二类电器的安全标准,强制对流的热空气模拟燃气灶火包锅的加热方式,传热效率高,温度均匀,其安全性与使用效果远高于电炉,使用效果也远好于电陶炉与电磁炉,相比两者还不挑锅具的形状与材质。The fan system must at least include a motor 601 and a fan blade 602 to achieve its function. In FIG2 , the fan blade 602 is mounted on the throat where the inner cavity of the furnace cavity is connected to the bottom of the outer cavity. The motor 601 is installed outside the heat insulation layer 9 to isolate it from the furnace cavity. The shaft of the motor 601 passes through the heat insulation layer and the furnace cavity and is connected to the fan blade 602. In FIG2 , the motor is installed at the bottom of the furnace cavity, coaxial with the fan blade. This is a simple and space-saving installation method. The motor can also be installed on the side wall of the furnace cavity to transmit torque to the fan blade through gears, chains or belts. The arrow in FIG2 is an air flow indicator when there is no pot placed on the air stove. At this time, the air blown by the fan blade 602 is dispersed into the atmosphere. If a pot is placed, the opening on the furnace cavity will be sealed. As indicated by the arrow in FIG8 or FIG3, the air circulates inside the furnace cavity. In addition to the heat dissipation of the heat insulation layer and the heat storage loss of the air stove, the heat energy will be fully transferred to the pot, which is much more energy-saving than the gas stove. If the heat insulation layer is well insulated, the weight of the furnace cavity, the heating unit, the fan blade and other heat storage parts is as light as possible, and the efficiency of the air stove will be comparable to that of the electromagnetic stove. As shown in FIG2, the motor 601 drives the fan blade 602 to rotate, blowing air into the inner cavity of the furnace cavity 3, thereby forming a negative pressure in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, and the air is sucked from the gap between the inner and outer cavities. The sucked air passes through the heating unit 5. If the heating unit 5 is outside the working state, the air flowing through will be heated, and the hot air is blown into the inner cavity by the fan blade, so that the hot air is used as a medium for heating. The motor 601 and the heating unit 5 are controlled by the control unit 8. The control unit 8 may be a circuit board including a variety of electronic components, which can realize the control of parameters such as the motor speed, the heating unit power, and the temperature of the furnace cavity; the control unit 8 may also be only one or more mechanical switches, and the switch is used to manually control the power on and off of the heating unit 5 and the motor. Even if the control unit 8 is a simple form of a mechanical switch, since the heating unit 5 is electrically isolated and meets the safety standards of Class II electrical appliances, the forced convection of hot air simulates the heating method of the gas stove fire pot, with high heat transfer efficiency and uniform temperature. Its safety and use effect are much higher than those of electric stoves, and the use effect is also much better than that of electric ceramic stoves and induction cookers. Compared with the two, it is not picky about the shape and material of the pot.
图1的所示的结构即可以实现本空气灶的基本功能,由机械开关控制发热单元与电机的通断电;没有冷却风扇对外壳内部进行冷却,只要隔热层做得足够厚,则外壳内部会保持合适的温度;只要电机的轴足够长,从风叶传递到电机的热量就会沿途散掉,且可以采用导热差的陶瓷轴,或电机轴与风叶采用隔热方式连接,这样即使不对电机进行冷却,也没有问题;没有温度传感器,通过匹配好发热单元的功率与风叶的风量即可,万一电热丝热负荷过大,就是烧断而已,不会对用户及周边环境造成危险。The structure shown in Figure 1 can realize the basic functions of the air stove. The heating unit and the motor are controlled by a mechanical switch. There is no cooling fan to cool the inside of the shell. As long as the insulation layer is made thick enough, the inside of the shell will maintain a suitable temperature. As long as the shaft of the motor is long enough, the heat transferred from the fan blades to the motor will be dissipated along the way, and a ceramic shaft with poor thermal conductivity can be used, or the motor shaft and the fan blades can be connected in a heat-insulating manner, so that there is no problem even if the motor is not cooled. There is no temperature sensor. It only needs to match the power of the heating unit with the air volume of the fan blade. In case the heat load of the heating wire is too large, it will just burn out, and will not cause danger to the user and the surrounding environment.
为了实现更好的效果,下面介绍空气灶的可选改良方案:In order to achieve better results, the following are optional improvements to the air stove:
如图3所示为炉腔剖面示意图,给出一种较为优选的炉腔结构,所述炉腔3包括炉腔内壁301、炉腔外壁302、炉腔盖303,所述炉腔内壁、炉腔外壁、炉腔盖可任意两者构成一个整体再与第三者装配成炉腔;也可各自为一个独立零件,三者装配在一起组成炉腔。炉腔内壁301单独围成的空间为内腔,炉腔内壁、炉腔外壁、炉腔盖共同围成的空间为外腔。炉腔内壁、炉腔外壁可用金属皮卷起来焊接成型,或采用拉伸、挤压成型,也可以采用陶泥、耐火土、耐火水泥等耐火绝缘材料浇铸或挤压成型,构成至少两个两端连通的腔,内腔是加热锅具或食物的空间,外腔放置发热元件及其它相关元件。炉腔内壁还可以采用耐高温的玻璃材质,这样发热单元的热辐射可以透过炉腔内壁直接加热锅具或食物;当然,炉腔内壁采用薄的金属材料,也可以把一部分热能传递到内腔中,在风机系统不工作的情况下,炉腔内壁301此时就像一只摆在电炉上的锅,只需通过控制单元8控制发热单元5的功率使外腔中的温度保持在合适范围即可正常工作;此种无需风机系统工作的模式,主要通过自然对流传热,隔着几层热障,加热效率极低,可以用在煨红薯、保温等对火力要求低的用途。炉腔内壁与炉腔外壁可以连接在一起构成一个零件,可以一体成型,比如采用耐火材料挤压或浇铸成型,采用金属板拉伸、冲压成型,也可焊接成型,如图14所示,炉腔内壁与炉腔外壁通过多个角片307焊接在一起构成了一个零件;此零件可与炉腔盖通过螺丝连接,图示中的凸沿为锁螺丝的位置,但也可以通过设置螺丝柱而不要凸沿,也可以采用铆接等方案。炉腔外壁也可与炉腔盖连接在一起构成一个零体,如图4及图15所示,此时两者是一个零件,此时的炉腔盖其实就是零件的底,不是传统意义上的盖,由于实现本发明目的方式很多,难免矛盾,故不拘泥名称,炉腔外壁与炉腔盖连接在一起的工艺与上述相同。炉腔内壁301也可与炉腔盖303组合在一起,此种组合方式电机与风叶壳基准同为炉腔盖,可保证其同心度。当然,此三者也可为独立的零件装配在一起构成炉腔。风叶壳4可与炉腔内壁301一体成型,也可为独立零件与炉腔装配在一起。如图2、图14、图15所示,如为轴流风叶,可不用风叶壳4,风叶壳只有在离心风叶或混流风叶结构中才是必要结构。As shown in FIG3 , a schematic diagram of a furnace cavity cross section is provided, which provides a more preferred furnace cavity structure. The furnace cavity 3 includes a furnace cavity inner wall 301, a furnace cavity outer wall 302, and a furnace cavity cover 303. Any two of the furnace cavity inner wall, furnace cavity outer wall, and furnace cavity cover can form a whole and then be assembled with a third part to form a furnace cavity; or each of them can be an independent part, and the three can be assembled together to form a furnace cavity. The space surrounded by the furnace cavity inner wall 301 alone is the inner cavity, and the space surrounded by the furnace cavity inner wall, furnace cavity outer wall, and furnace cavity cover together is the outer cavity. The furnace cavity inner wall and the furnace cavity outer wall can be formed by rolling up metal sheets and welding, or by stretching or extrusion, or by casting or extrusion of refractory insulating materials such as clay, refractory clay, and refractory cement, forming at least two cavities connected at both ends. The inner cavity is a space for heating pots or food, and the outer cavity is used to place heating elements and other related elements. The inner wall of the furnace cavity can also be made of high-temperature resistant glass material, so that the heat radiation of the heating unit can directly heat the pot or food through the inner wall of the furnace cavity; of course, the inner wall of the furnace cavity is made of thin metal material, and part of the heat energy can also be transferred to the inner cavity. When the fan system is not working, the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity is like a pot placed on an electric stove. It only needs to control the power of the heating unit 5 through the control unit 8 to keep the temperature in the outer cavity within a suitable range to work normally; this mode that does not require the operation of the fan system mainly uses natural convection heat transfer, and the heating efficiency is extremely low across several layers of thermal barriers. It can be used for stewing sweet potatoes, keeping warm, and other purposes that require low firepower. The inner wall of the furnace cavity and the outer wall of the furnace cavity can be connected together to form a part, and can be integrally formed, such as by extrusion or casting of refractory materials, by stretching and stamping of metal plates, or by welding. As shown in FIG14, the inner wall of the furnace cavity and the outer wall of the furnace cavity are welded together through multiple corner pieces 307 to form a part; this part can be connected to the furnace cavity cover by screws, and the convex edge in the figure is the position of the locking screw, but it can also be provided by setting a screw column without the convex edge, or by riveting and other schemes. The outer wall of the furnace cavity can also be connected with the furnace cavity cover to form a zero body, as shown in FIG4 and FIG15, at this time, the two are a part, and the furnace cavity cover at this time is actually the bottom of the part, not the cover in the traditional sense. Since there are many ways to achieve the purpose of the present invention, it is inevitable to contradict, so it is not limited to the name, and the process of connecting the outer wall of the furnace cavity and the furnace cavity cover together is the same as above. The inner wall of the furnace cavity 301 can also be combined with the furnace cavity cover 303. In this combination mode, the motor and the fan blade shell are the same as the furnace cavity cover, which can ensure their concentricity. Of course, these three can also be independent parts assembled together to form a furnace cavity. The fan housing 4 can be integrally formed with the furnace cavity inner wall 301, or can be an independent part assembled with the furnace cavity. As shown in Figures 2, 14, and 15, if it is an axial flow fan, the fan housing 4 is not required. The fan housing is only a necessary structure in the centrifugal fan or mixed flow fan structure.
从减少蓄热以提高空气灶的升温速度以及减小蓄热损失的角度考虑,炉腔3采用薄壁金属材料制造最合适,比如炉腔内壁与炉腔外壁可采用0.25厚的不锈钢材料制作,为增加强度可以冲压一些凹凸形状,甚至还可以使用更薄的不锈钢,而炉腔盖303由于要安装电机,需要一定的强度与刚度,所以可以采用0.5厚左右的不锈钢片冲压成型,通过冲压加强筋来提高强度。不锈钢材料在800度以下都保持较好的力学性能和抗蚀性能,用于制造炉腔重量轻、蓄热少、寿命长、价格低、加工工艺简单,是一种优选方案。如图4的炉腔剖视图所示,所述炉腔的内腔与外腔上端连通的通道设置有滤网306,所述滤网可以是炉腔的一部分,也可以是独立的零件;所述滤网用于防止异物从此处进入所述炉腔的外腔中,也可防止儿童用铁丝从此处探入而触及发热单元5,滤网孔还可采用遮挡结构。From the perspective of reducing heat storage to increase the heating rate of the air stove and reducing heat storage loss, it is most appropriate to use thin-walled metal materials to make the furnace cavity 3. For example, the inner wall and outer wall of the furnace cavity can be made of 0.25 thick stainless steel material. Some concave and convex shapes can be stamped to increase strength, and even thinner stainless steel can be used. Since the furnace cavity cover 303 needs to install a motor, a certain strength and rigidity are required, so a 0.5 thick stainless steel sheet can be stamped and formed, and the strength can be improved by stamping reinforcement ribs. Stainless steel materials maintain good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance below 800 degrees. It is a preferred solution for manufacturing furnace cavities with light weight, less heat storage, long life, low price, and simple processing technology. As shown in the furnace cavity cross-sectional view of Figure 4, a filter screen 306 is provided in the passage connecting the inner cavity of the furnace cavity and the upper end of the outer cavity. The filter screen may be a part of the furnace cavity or an independent part. The filter screen is used to prevent foreign matter from entering the outer cavity of the furnace cavity from here, and to prevent children from reaching in with wire from here and touching the heating unit 5. The filter screen holes may also adopt a shielding structure.
如图5所示,可增设温度传感器13,所述温度传感器安装在所述发热单元5的出风通道上。如要对炉灶进行精准的温度控制,则需要增加温度传感器,在此种高温环境下,一般可以采用热电偶、红外测温等方式,图中示出的是热电偶。从控制空气灶出风温度考虑,温度传感器13安装在风叶602下边会更好,因为此处是热风汇集处,可采集到各处热风混合后的平均值。但安装在此处一方面容易受到从喷头11掉落的污物影响,另一方面在风机系统故障发生干烧时,不能及时感应到发热单元的温度。所以,综合考虑,可以把温度传感器11安装在发热单元5的下面,通过实际测试测出与喷头11出风温度的温差大小,如果过大,则需要设置在温差较小的位置。当然,也可以采用两个温度传感器,一个感应出风的温度,一个防止干烧。As shown in FIG5 , a temperature sensor 13 can be added, and the temperature sensor is installed on the air outlet channel of the heating unit 5. If the stove is to be accurately controlled in temperature, a temperature sensor needs to be added. In such a high temperature environment, thermocouples, infrared temperature measurement and the like can generally be used. The figure shows a thermocouple. Considering the air outlet temperature of the air stove, it is better to install the temperature sensor 13 under the fan blade 602, because this is where the hot air converges, and the average value of the hot air mixed at various places can be collected. However, if it is installed here, it is easily affected by the dirt falling from the nozzle 11 on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the fan system fails and dry burning occurs, the temperature of the heating unit cannot be sensed in time. Therefore, considering comprehensively, the temperature sensor 11 can be installed under the heating unit 5, and the temperature difference with the air outlet temperature of the nozzle 11 can be measured through actual testing. If it is too large, it needs to be set at a position with a smaller temperature difference. Of course, two temperature sensors can also be used, one to sense the temperature of the air outlet and the other to prevent dry burning.
如图5所示,可增加风叶壳4、导风轮10,所述风叶壳设置在所述炉腔3内腔与外腔的下端连通口,所述风叶602设置在风叶壳内;所述导风轮设置在所述风叶壳出风的一端,所述导风轮利用辐条及斜面引导空气的流向。图5所示的风叶602采混流风叶的结构,所以设置了风叶壳4,风叶壳的斜度是为了让甩到上面的风向炉腔3的内腔流动,其实也可以是直面,这是由于混流风叶中轴流起主导作用,且可以通过风叶壳尾端的收口使挤到四周的风向前压,不像纯粹的离心风叶,必须依靠风叶壳的曲面改变风的流向。风叶壳4可设置在炉腔内壁上,可与炉腔内壁一体成型或分体装配在一起;风叶壳4还可以设置在炉腔盖303上,其底部开孔使空气可吸入即可;总之,风叶壳可以任意方式装配在内、外腔底部相通的位置;导风轮10采用固定或可拆方式安装在风叶壳出风的一端,如采用固定的不可拆的方式,风叶602必须能从风叶壳的小端装入才行,这种方式不利于后期清理,采用便于拆卸的方式更为合理。导风轮10的目的是对风进行导向,旋转的风会在离心力的作用下向周围散开,使之不能集中吹向锅底中心,利用导风轮的辐条可以让旋转的风改为垂直向上吹,而导风轮侧面也可以做成斜面,让风向中心聚拢,通过调节这个面的斜度可以调节风均匀度,还可以在特定的位置增加一些斜面,使风流向设定的方向,通过导风轮,可能做到使锅具受热更加均匀。图6是导风轮的示意图。As shown in FIG5 , a fan blade shell 4 and an air guide wheel 10 can be added. The fan blade shell is arranged at the lower end connecting the inner cavity and the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, and the fan blade 602 is arranged in the fan blade shell; the air guide wheel is arranged at the end of the fan blade shell where the air is discharged, and the air guide wheel uses spokes and inclined surfaces to guide the flow direction of the air. The fan blade 602 shown in FIG5 adopts the structure of a mixed flow fan blade, so a fan blade shell 4 is arranged. The inclination of the fan blade shell is to allow the wind thrown onto it to flow toward the inner cavity of the furnace cavity 3. In fact, it can also be a straight surface. This is because the axial flow plays a leading role in the mixed flow fan blade, and the wind squeezed to the surroundings can be pressed forward by the closing of the tail end of the fan blade shell, unlike a pure centrifugal fan blade, which must rely on the curved surface of the fan blade shell to change the flow direction of the wind. The fan blade shell 4 can be arranged on the inner wall of the furnace cavity, and can be integrally formed with the inner wall of the furnace cavity or assembled together in a split manner; the fan blade shell 4 can also be arranged on the furnace cavity cover 303, and the bottom opening thereof allows air to be inhaled; in short, the fan blade shell can be assembled in any manner at the position where the bottom of the inner and outer cavities are connected; the wind guide wheel 10 is installed at the end of the wind blade shell that is connected to the wind in a fixed or detachable manner. If a fixed non-detachable manner is adopted, the fan blade 602 must be able to be loaded from the small end of the wind blade shell, which is not conducive to later cleaning, and it is more reasonable to adopt a method that is easy to disassemble. The purpose of the wind guide wheel 10 is to guide the wind. The rotating wind will spread around under the action of centrifugal force, so that it cannot be concentrated to the center of the bottom of the pot. The spokes of the wind guide wheel can be used to change the rotating wind to blow vertically upward, and the side of the wind guide wheel can also be made into an inclined plane to gather the wind toward the center. The wind uniformity can be adjusted by adjusting the inclination of this surface. Some inclined planes can also be added at specific positions to make the wind flow in the set direction. Through the wind guide wheel, it is possible to make the pot heated more evenly. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an air guide wheel.
如图7至图9所示,还可增加顶杆604、弹簧605、喷头11,所述电机的轴设置为空心轴,所述弹簧装配在电机的空心轴内;所述喷头设置在所述导风轮外,所述喷头沿风叶壳轴线方向可以上下活动;所述顶杆的一端与弹簧连接,另一端与喷头连接。如图7所示,风叶602装配在电机轴上,弹簧605及顶杆604装配在电机轴内;电机轴上还装配了散热片603,用于对电机轴进行散热,如散热片603加工成风叶形状,则在电机旋转时会驱动空气对流,不仅可以对电机轴散热,还可以对电机本体进行散热。电机601上还可增设减震垫606,当电机安装到炉腔3上时,通过减震垫减小电机传递到炉灶的震动。如图8与图9所示,两图中的锅具16的尺寸不同,喷头11在锅的重量及弹簧605与顶杆604的作用下自动调节了高度,从而使喷头与各种尺寸的锅具间都保持合理的距离,保证空气灶加热锅具的效率。当喷头离锅具太远时,气流扩散以及由于文丘里效应导致吸入周边较低温度的空气混合,使到达锅具的空气温度降低或加热不集中,从而降低了效率。顶杆与喷头11接触的那一端磨成球形,或者在顶杆与喷头接触的位置增加一个小圆珠,可采用不锈钢或陶瓷珠,当电机601旋转时与喷头间的摩擦力足够小,防止带动喷头旋转。本结构的作用是根据锅具尺寸与形状自动调节喷头11的高度,可以增加空气灶的加热效率。从能量守恒的角度,除去隔热层的散热损失,发热单元产生的热能都会被锅吸收,所以不管喷头距离锅具远还是近,效率应该是一样的。这个考虑正确但片面,当加热锅具的空气温度变低时,由于传热面积、导热系数都没有变,但锅的内外壁温差减小了,会导致被锅吸收的热能变少,如果发热单元作了同样的功,则意味着从内腔中吸回去的空气温度变高,维持空气灶喷口出风温度一致的情况下,发热单元就必须减小功率,也就意味着空气灶的火力变小了;保持一样的功率加热,则会升温,使电热丝寿命减短,热空气密度更小,风叶在同样的转速下吹出的风量更小,高温使散热增加,使隔热层必须采用更耐温的材料,使风叶的工作环境更加恶劣等等,带来一系列问题。所以,调节喷头的高度是有益的,当然,也可以采用专用锅具则无需设节喷头,也可以采用手动调节。As shown in Figures 7 to 9, a push rod 604, a spring 605, and a nozzle 11 can also be added. The shaft of the motor is set as a hollow shaft, and the spring is assembled in the hollow shaft of the motor; the nozzle is arranged outside the guide wheel, and the nozzle can move up and down along the axis direction of the fan blade shell; one end of the push rod is connected to the spring, and the other end is connected to the nozzle. As shown in Figure 7, the fan blade 602 is assembled on the motor shaft, and the spring 605 and the push rod 604 are assembled in the motor shaft; the motor shaft is also equipped with a heat sink 603 for dissipating heat from the motor shaft. If the heat sink 603 is processed into a fan blade shape, it will drive air convection when the motor rotates, which can not only dissipate heat from the motor shaft, but also dissipate heat from the motor body. A shock-absorbing pad 606 can also be added to the motor 601. When the motor is installed on the furnace cavity 3, the shock-absorbing pad reduces the vibration transmitted from the motor to the stove. As shown in FIG8 and FIG9, the sizes of the pots 16 in the two figures are different. The nozzle 11 automatically adjusts the height under the weight of the pot and the action of the spring 605 and the push rod 604, so that the nozzle and the pots of various sizes are kept at a reasonable distance, ensuring the efficiency of the air stove heating the pot. When the nozzle is too far away from the pot, the air flow diffuses and the air with a lower temperature in the surrounding area is mixed due to the Venturi effect, so that the air temperature reaching the pot is reduced or the heating is not concentrated, thereby reducing the efficiency. The end of the push rod that contacts the nozzle 11 is ground into a spherical shape, or a small round ball is added at the position where the push rod contacts the nozzle. Stainless steel or ceramic beads can be used. When the motor 601 rotates, the friction between the nozzle and the nozzle is small enough to prevent the nozzle from rotating. The function of this structure is to automatically adjust the height of the nozzle 11 according to the size and shape of the pot, which can increase the heating efficiency of the air stove. From the perspective of energy conservation, except for the heat loss of the insulation layer, the heat energy generated by the heating unit will be absorbed by the pot, so no matter whether the nozzle is far or near from the pot, the efficiency should be the same. This consideration is correct but one-sided. When the air temperature of the heating pot becomes lower, since the heat transfer area and thermal conductivity coefficient have not changed, but the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the pot has decreased, the heat energy absorbed by the pot will decrease. If the heating unit does the same work, it means that the temperature of the air sucked back from the inner cavity becomes higher. When the air outlet temperature of the air stove nozzle is maintained consistent, the heating unit must reduce the power, which means that the firepower of the air stove becomes smaller; if the same power is maintained for heating, the temperature will rise, shortening the life of the heating wire, making the hot air density smaller, and the air volume blown out by the fan blade at the same speed will be smaller. High temperature increases heat dissipation, so that the insulation layer must use more temperature-resistant materials, making the working environment of the fan blade worse, etc., which brings a series of problems. Therefore, it is beneficial to adjust the height of the nozzle. Of course, you can also use special pots without setting the nozzle, or you can use manual adjustment.
图8中炉腔3的4个箭头代表空气的流动,当空气灶上放置有锅具时,炉腔开口那一端被锅具密封,此时当空气灶工作时,炉腔内的空气处于内部循环状态,风叶602把热空气吹向锅具,热空气向锅具释放部分热能之后,又从炉腔上面的夹缝中被吸入到外腔中,经发热单元5加热后又被吹向锅具,如此不断循环,除了隔热层散热损失之外,热能只能被锅吸收并传递出去,效率很高。即使锅具与空气灶匹配不严存在间隙,热空气的损失也是非常小的,因为一旦有空气外泄,就必然会导致炉腔气压平衡被打破,形成负压,从而阻止了热空气进一步外泄。经实验验证,650度热空气充分加热锅具后,回收的空气温度还接近450度,所以采用热空气加热的方案,如果没有这种内循环的结构,将效率极低,无法使用。如图2与图5没有放置锅具时,热空气的大部分被释放到空气中,吸入炉腔3的外腔中的大部分是冷空气,但此功能也可以用于烧烤、烘干等。The four arrows of the furnace cavity 3 in FIG8 represent the flow of air. When a pot is placed on the air stove, the open end of the furnace cavity is sealed by the pot. At this time, when the air stove is working, the air in the furnace cavity is in an internal circulation state. The fan blade 602 blows the hot air to the pot. After the hot air releases part of the heat energy to the pot, it is sucked into the outer cavity from the gap above the furnace cavity. After being heated by the heating unit 5, it is blown to the pot again. This cycle continues. Except for the heat loss of the heat insulation layer, the heat energy can only be absorbed and transferred by the pot, and the efficiency is very high. Even if the pot and the air stove are not matched tightly and there is a gap, the loss of hot air is very small, because once there is air leakage, it will inevitably cause the pressure balance of the furnace cavity to be broken, forming a negative pressure, thereby preventing the hot air from leaking further. It has been verified by experiments that after the 650-degree hot air fully heats the pot, the temperature of the recovered air is still close to 450 degrees. Therefore, if there is no such internal circulation structure, the scheme of hot air heating will be extremely inefficient and cannot be used. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 , when no pot is placed, most of the hot air is released into the air, and most of the air sucked into the outer cavity of the oven cavity 3 is cold air. However, this function can also be used for grilling, drying, etc.
图8与图9所示,电机601设置在所述风叶602的吸风侧,所述隔热层9及炉腔3的电机轴过孔与轴之间设置有吸风间隙,当电机601带动风叶602旋转时,冷风从所述吸风间隙吸入,对所述电机的轴进行冷却。图9在电机轴的位置画有两个箭头,代表冷空气从此处被吸入到炉腔中,为了保证对轴更好的冷却,在炉腔盖303电机轴过孔的位置还设置了一圈隔热的圆环柱状结构,此柱状结构可以设计成双层,内部可以填充隔热材料,一方面阻止了热空气直接作用于电机轴,另一方面引导冷空气冷却轴的全长,如不设置圆环柱,冷空气一进入炉腔内就扩散与热空气混合,此处吸入的冷空气量很小,不足热空气流量的百分之一,故一混合就高温,伸入炉腔内部的电机轴就不能得到冷却,长期处于高温中,高速旋转容易变形,导致风机系统失效,另一方面通过轴传递到电机本体的热量会增加,损害电机寿命。同时,此圆环柱的高度可以设置到接近风叶,则还可对风叶与电机轴配合的区域进行冷却,使得风叶与电机的连接处处于较低温度,使连接更为可靠。可以通过调节此处的间隙控制吸入冷空气的量,以达到需要的冷却效果。图9中的结构,经过发热单元5加热的空气大部分将从风叶壳外圈就被吸入,这是由于沿风叶直径方向越往外叶片的线速度就越大,压生的负压也越大,且此处结构热空气也是从外往中心流动,于是在这双重因素的作用下,风叶中心空气流量很少,使得电机轴只需微量的冷空气就可以有效冷却,这少量的冷空气几乎不会降低空气灶的热空气温度。能从外面吸入空气,是因为风叶旋转在风叶背面形成的负压所致。如图8所示,在增加了吸风间隙的同时,还可以在电机轴上设置散热片,则对电机轴的冷热效果更好,还可以把散热片加工成风叶的形状,但其风的流向必须向着吸风间隙,否则反而会使吸风间隙不能吸入空气造成反效果。As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the motor 601 is arranged on the air suction side of the fan blade 602, and an air suction gap is arranged between the insulation layer 9 and the motor shaft through hole and the shaft of the furnace cavity 3. When the motor 601 drives the fan blade 602 to rotate, cold air is sucked in from the air suction gap to cool the shaft of the motor. Fig. 9 shows two arrows at the position of the motor shaft, which represent that the cold air is sucked into the furnace cavity from here. In order to ensure better cooling of the shaft, a circle of heat-insulating circular cylindrical structure is also set at the position of the motor shaft through hole of the furnace cavity cover 303. This cylindrical structure can be designed as a double layer, and the interior can be filled with heat-insulating materials. On the one hand, it prevents the hot air from directly acting on the motor shaft, and on the other hand, it guides the cold air to cool the full length of the shaft. If the circular column is not set, the cold air will diffuse and mix with the hot air as soon as it enters the furnace cavity. The amount of cold air sucked in here is very small, less than one percent of the hot air flow, so it will be hot as soon as it is mixed. The motor shaft extending into the furnace cavity cannot be cooled. It is in high temperature for a long time, and it is easy to deform at high speed, causing the fan system to fail. On the other hand, the heat transferred to the motor body through the shaft will increase, which will damage the life of the motor. At the same time, the height of this circular column can be set to be close to the fan blade, so that the area where the fan blade and the motor shaft cooperate can also be cooled, so that the connection between the fan blade and the motor is at a lower temperature, making the connection more reliable. The amount of cold air sucked in can be controlled by adjusting the gap here to achieve the required cooling effect. The structure in Fig. 9, most of the air heated by the heating unit 5 will be sucked from the outer ring of the fan blade shell, this is because the linear velocity of the blades is greater the more outward along the fan blade diameter direction, the greater the negative pressure generated by the pressure, and the hot air in the structure here also flows from the outside to the center, so under the effect of this dual factor, the air flow rate in the center of the fan blade is very small, so that the motor shaft only needs a small amount of cold air to effectively cool, and this small amount of cold air can hardly reduce the hot air temperature of the air stove. The reason why air can be sucked from the outside is because of the negative pressure formed by the fan blade rotating on the back of the fan blade. As shown in Figure 8, while increasing the air suction gap, a heat sink can also be set on the motor shaft, then the hot and cold effect of the motor shaft is better, and the heat sink can also be processed into the shape of the fan blade, but the flow direction of its wind must be towards the air suction gap, otherwise it will make the air suction gap unable to inhale air and cause counter-effect.
图10是发热单元5的爆炸图,给出一种发热单元的优选方案,所述发热单元5包括电热丝502、电热丝盘架501、接线柱503,所述电热丝盘架开设有通风槽,所述电热丝安装在通风槽内;所述接线柱一端与电热丝通过导电方式连接,另一端穿过所述炉腔后与所述控制单元通过导线连接;所述控制单元8包括风力调节模块与温控模块。如图所示,电热丝盘架上的圆环槽在厚度方向前后贯通,设置有卡位使电热丝在槽内固定,电热丝焊或压接在接线柱上。如图9所示,接线柱503穿过炉腔盖303和隔热层9,其与炉腔接触的位置有耐高温绝缘层防止漏电。接线柱露出隔热层9的部分与控制单元8通过导线连接,其可以连接控制单元8的开关元件,比如继电器、可控硅等,在极简版本中,也可以直接连接一个手动的机械开关。电热丝盘架可用陶瓷、云母、耐火水泥等耐火绝缘材质制造,主要考虑其强度、密度、比热容、电阻率等,使之蓄热尽可能少,空气灶的升温速度就会更快,关机之后余热也将更少。采用云母片制作质量最轻,蓄热最少,但其耐久性和强度可能不如采用陶瓷制作,需实验验证。发热单元5也不一定要采用电阻丝的方案,只要能把空气加热到适用的温度并具有合适的寿命与成本,都可以采用,比如碳纤维、陶瓷发热器、氮化硅加热片、高频加热等,但综合考虑,目前性价比最高还是电阻丝。如图16所示,空气灶的操作面板设置有风力调节钮17和温度调节钮18,相应的,控制单元8必须设置调节温度与风力的模块,可以实现空气灶双参数控制,温度调节既可以通过直接调功率来实现,又可以通过调节温度设定值由控制单元自动根据温度调功率,但后者需要有温度传感器才能实现。可调节温度非常重要,空气灶可以从几十度到650度以上任意精准调温,非常利于各种烹饪工况,使烹饪更为简单和健康,可在实现与燃气炒菜一样的口感时减少90%以上的油烟,对于更在乎健康的人群,甚至可以通过调低温度实现几乎无油烟烹饪。而燃气灶只能调火力大小而不能调温,调小火力只是火苗小了,火苗接触的位置同样是高温,故用最小火力煎炸也会焦,火苗燎到的锅中心油烟还大,只有通过多加油利用对流把温度散开才可以,但费油且不健康。对于初学下厨的人来说,使用燃气灶或电磁炉这些灶具,煎个鸡蛋都可能烧焦,学会看火候需要长时间实践;而可精准控温的空气灶却不同,只需根据说明设置好温度,至少不担心糊菜,比如炒花生米,把温度设置到250左右,甚至都不用翻炒就能达到颇有经验的人利用传统炉灶才能达到的效果。用燃气灶炒菜,根据锅中食物的火候来适时调节火力大小需要经验,但反应迅速很好调节,但像电炉、电陶炉由于炉灶的炉芯及玻璃面板本身蓄热,调节火力有一个滞后的过程,其滞后的时间由炉灶蓄热的量来决定,往往需要30秒甚至更多的时间才能达到设置的火力,所以电炉与电陶炉调节火力不能像燃气灶或电磁炉一样如反应迅速,哪怕经验丰富,炒菜的火候都不好掌握。本发明的空气灶虽然也要蓄热,但通过调节风力大小来调节火力,就如燃气灶一样没有滞后了。这是由于空气灶恒温,调小或调大风量时会自动调节功率以让热空气保持在设定值,温度不变,但空气流量变了,吹向锅具或食物的总体热量就变了,这与燃气调节火苗大小一样。如果空气灶也像电陶炉或电炉一样,是通过调节功率或温度来调节火力,则一样会滞后,比如现在温度650度,要把火力一下降到一半以下调到300度,则空气灶的发热单元、炉腔外壁、炉腔盖、隔热层等都要从650度都要降到300度,这些部件蓄的热量释放出来是能支撑一段时间的,温度是缓慢下降的,哪怕发热单元的功率降到零,可能这350度的温差由蓄热提供也能坚持几十秒的时间才最终达到想要的火力,而通过调节风力大小则不同,虽然这些部件也蓄了这么多热,但在一样的温度下处于热平衡,蓄的热些热不会释放。极端情况,如果关闭了风机系统,蓄热还是要往外传递,但由于主要的蓄热部件隔着炉腔内壁303,依靠自然对流通过多层热障再到锅具上,单位时间传递的热能少,与电炉和电陶炉是完全不同的。如果控制单元8仅有风力调节、温度调节、功率调节这三者中一种功能,甚至以上都不需要,也能实现本发明的部分目的,但不全面。比如仅能调节风力,则仅可以达到燃气灶的使用效果,严重降低了空气灶的烹饪能力;如仅能调节功率或温度,又存在热滞后,且在烧烤或煨制等功能时风力过大而导致温度上不来、食物脱水烤干了等问题;既能调温又能调风力大小才能充分发挥空气灶优势。可以通过按钮或触摸屏调节温度与风力,但通过旋钮调节更为快速,也更符合用户习惯,如图16所示,操作面板上设置了风力调节钮和温度调节钮。FIG10 is an exploded view of the heating unit 5, which provides a preferred solution of the heating unit. The heating unit 5 includes a heating wire 502, a heating wire coil rack 501, and a terminal 503. The heating wire coil rack is provided with a ventilation slot, and the heating wire is installed in the ventilation slot; one end of the terminal is connected to the heating wire by a conductive method, and the other end passes through the furnace cavity and is connected to the control unit by a wire; the control unit 8 includes a wind force adjustment module and a temperature control module. As shown in the figure, the annular groove on the heating wire coil rack is through the front and back in the thickness direction, and a clamp is provided to fix the heating wire in the groove, and the heating wire is welded or crimped on the terminal. As shown in FIG9, the terminal 503 passes through the furnace cavity cover 303 and the insulation layer 9, and the position where it contacts the furnace cavity has a high temperature resistant insulation layer to prevent leakage. The part of the terminal exposed from the insulation layer 9 is connected to the control unit 8 by a wire, which can be connected to the switch element of the control unit 8, such as a relay, a thyristor, etc. In the minimalist version, a manual mechanical switch can also be directly connected. The electric heating wire coil rack can be made of refractory insulating materials such as ceramics, mica, and refractory cement, and its strength, density, specific heat capacity, resistivity, etc. are mainly considered to make it store as little heat as possible, so that the air stove will heat up faster and there will be less residual heat after shutting down. The mica sheet is the lightest and has the least heat storage, but its durability and strength may not be as good as those made of ceramics, which requires experimental verification. The heating unit 5 does not necessarily have to adopt the solution of resistance wire. As long as the air can be heated to an applicable temperature and has a suitable life and cost, it can be adopted, such as carbon fiber, ceramic heater, silicon nitride heating plate, high-frequency heating, etc., but comprehensive consideration, the current price performance is the highest resistance wire. As shown in Figure 16, the operation panel of the air stove is provided with a wind force adjustment button 17 and a temperature adjustment button 18. Correspondingly, the control unit 8 must be provided with a module for adjusting temperature and wind force, so that the air stove can be controlled by two parameters. The temperature adjustment can be achieved by directly adjusting the power, and the control unit can automatically adjust the power according to the temperature by adjusting the temperature setting value, but the latter requires a temperature sensor to achieve. Adjustable temperature is very important. The air stove can adjust the temperature precisely from dozens of degrees to more than 650 degrees, which is very beneficial to various cooking conditions, making cooking simpler and healthier. It can reduce more than 90% of the oil smoke while achieving the same taste as gas cooking. For people who care more about health, they can even achieve almost smoke-free cooking by lowering the temperature. Gas stoves can only adjust the firepower but not the temperature. Turning down the firepower only makes the flame smaller. The place where the flame touches is also high temperature, so frying with the minimum firepower will also burn. The center of the pot where the flame burns is still full of oil smoke. Only by adding more oil and using convection to disperse the temperature can it be done, but it is oil-consuming and unhealthy. For beginners, using gas stoves or induction cookers, frying an egg may burn, and learning to read the fire requires a long time of practice; but air stoves with precise temperature control are different. You only need to set the temperature according to the instructions, at least you don’t have to worry about burning the dishes. For example, when frying peanuts, set the temperature to about 250, and you can achieve the effect that experienced people can achieve using traditional stoves without even frying. When cooking with a gas stove, it takes experience to adjust the firepower in time according to the heat of the food in the pot, but it reacts quickly and is easy to adjust. However, since the stove core and the glass panel of the electric stove and the electric ceramic stove store heat, there is a lag process in adjusting the firepower. The lag time is determined by the amount of heat stored in the stove, and it often takes 30 seconds or even more time to reach the set firepower. Therefore, the electric stove and the electric ceramic stove cannot adjust the firepower as quickly as the gas stove or the electromagnetic cooker. Even if you are experienced, it is not easy to master the heat of cooking. Although the air stove of the present invention also needs to store heat, it adjusts the firepower by adjusting the wind force, just like the gas stove, there is no lag. This is because the air stove is constant temperature, and when the air volume is reduced or increased, the power is automatically adjusted to keep the hot air at the set value. The temperature remains unchanged, but the air flow rate changes, and the overall heat blown to the pot or food changes, which is the same as the flame size adjustment of gas. If the air stove is like an electric ceramic stove or electric stove, and the firepower is adjusted by adjusting the power or temperature, there will be a lag. For example, if the temperature is 650 degrees now and the firepower is to be reduced to 300 degrees once it is reduced to less than half, the heating unit, the outer wall of the furnace cavity, the furnace cavity cover, the heat insulation layer, etc. of the air stove must be reduced from 650 degrees to 300 degrees. The heat stored in these components can be released for a period of time, and the temperature is slowly reduced. Even if the power of the heating unit is reduced to zero, the temperature difference of 350 degrees provided by the heat storage can last for tens of seconds before the desired firepower is finally achieved. However, it is different by adjusting the wind force. Although these components also store so much heat, they are in thermal equilibrium at the same temperature, and the stored heat will not be released. In extreme cases, if the fan system is turned off, the stored heat still needs to be transferred outward, but because the main heat storage components are separated by the inner wall 303 of the furnace cavity, they rely on natural convection through multiple thermal barriers to the pot, and the heat energy transferred per unit time is small, which is completely different from electric stoves and electric ceramic stoves. If the control unit 8 has only one of the three functions of wind force regulation, temperature regulation, and power regulation, or even none of the above functions, it can also achieve part of the purpose of the present invention, but it is not comprehensive. For example, if only the wind force can be adjusted, only the use effect of the gas stove can be achieved, which seriously reduces the cooking ability of the air stove; if only the power or temperature can be adjusted, there will be thermal lag, and when grilling or stewing, the wind force is too strong, resulting in the temperature not coming up, the food being dehydrated and dried, and other problems; only when both the temperature and the wind force can be adjusted can the advantages of the air stove be fully utilized. The temperature and wind force can be adjusted through buttons or touch screens, but it is faster to adjust through knobs, and it is more in line with user habits. As shown in Figure 16, a wind force adjustment button and a temperature adjustment button are set on the operation panel.
如图3至图9所示,所述炉腔包括炉腔内壁301、炉腔外壁302、炉腔盖303;所述炉腔内壁构成所述炉腔的内腔,所述内腔是空气灶加热锅具或食物的空间;所述炉腔内壁、炉腔外壁及炉腔盖共同构成所述炉腔的外腔,所述发热单元5设置在外腔中;所述炉腔内壁与炉腔外壁的顶部及底部连通;还包括风叶壳、导风轮,所述风叶壳设置在所述炉腔内壁或炉腔盖上,所述风叶设置在风叶壳内,所述导风轮设置在风叶壳的出风侧;所述炉腔盖设置在所述炉腔的底部,所述电机安装在炉腔盖上,电机轴穿过所述隔热层和炉腔盖后与风叶连接;还包括温度传感器13,所述温度传感器安装在所述发热单元的出风通道上。图3所示,炉腔内壁301围成的圆锥面为内腔,内腔的两头都是开放的,大端用于放置锅具,而小的那一端与外腔连通,使外腔中的热空间可以进入;内腔也可以是圆柱或台梯等形状,只是锥面空间利用率更高,在满足放置锅具的空间时可把更多的空间留给外腔,安装发热单元有更多的空间;结合图8,热气流从喷头11喷入内腔中,加热放置在内腔上的锅具16或食物,凹陷进去的内腔可以安放圆底的锅具,也可以容纳用于烘烤的食材,比如红薯、土豆等;如只考虑使用平底锅具,而特意把内腔设置浅,使之看起来不像一个腔,但只要架设锅具后,喷到锅具上的热空气又通过风机系统被吸回炉腔的外腔中,如此循环工作,则也完全属于本发明的保护范围,风叶602吹出的风与锅具之间一定还有一定容积的空间,可以视之为内腔,只是很浅而已。图3中除去内腔空间外都属于外腔,它是由炉腔内壁、炉腔外壁及炉腔盖共同围成的空间,外腔与内腔的顶部和底部都是连通的,如图3中的箭头指示,使得热空气可在这两个腔中循环流动。风叶壳与导风轮及电机与风叶等结构与安装在前面已经介绍,在此不赘述。As shown in Figures 3 to 9, the furnace cavity includes a furnace cavity inner wall 301, a furnace cavity outer wall 302, and a furnace cavity cover 303; the furnace cavity inner wall constitutes the inner cavity of the furnace cavity, and the inner cavity is the space for the air stove to heat pots or food; the furnace cavity inner wall, the furnace cavity outer wall and the furnace cavity cover together constitute the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, and the heating unit 5 is arranged in the outer cavity; the furnace cavity inner wall is connected to the top and bottom of the furnace cavity outer wall; it also includes a fan blade shell and an air guide wheel, the fan blade shell is arranged on the furnace cavity inner wall or the furnace cavity cover, the fan blade is arranged in the fan blade shell, and the air guide wheel is arranged on the air outlet side of the fan blade shell; the furnace cavity cover is arranged at the bottom of the furnace cavity, the motor is installed on the furnace cavity cover, and the motor shaft is connected to the fan blade after passing through the insulation layer and the furnace cavity cover; it also includes a temperature sensor 13, and the temperature sensor is installed on the air outlet channel of the heating unit. As shown in FIG3 , the conical surface surrounded by the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity is the inner cavity. Both ends of the inner cavity are open. The large end is used to place the pot, and the small end is connected to the outer cavity so that the hot space in the outer cavity can enter. The inner cavity can also be in the shape of a cylinder or a step, but the conical surface has a higher space utilization rate. When the space for placing the pot is satisfied, more space can be left for the outer cavity, and there is more space for installing the heating unit. In conjunction with FIG8 , the hot air flow is sprayed into the inner cavity from the nozzle 11 to heat the pot 16 or food placed on the inner cavity. The sunken inner cavity can hold round-bottomed pots, and can also hold ingredients for baking, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.; if only flat-bottomed pots are considered, and the inner cavity is deliberately set shallow so that it does not look like a cavity, but as long as the pot is set up, the hot air sprayed on the pot is sucked back into the outer cavity of the furnace cavity through the fan system, and the cycle works in this way, it also completely falls within the protection scope of the present invention. There must be a certain volume of space between the wind blown by the fan 602 and the pot, which can be regarded as an inner cavity, but it is very shallow. Except for the inner cavity space in Figure 3, everything else belongs to the outer cavity, which is a space surrounded by the inner wall of the furnace cavity, the outer wall of the furnace cavity and the furnace cavity cover. The outer cavity is connected to the top and bottom of the inner cavity, as indicated by the arrows in Figure 3, so that the hot air can circulate in these two cavities. The structures and installations of the fan housing, the guide wheel, the motor and the fan blades have been introduced above and will not be repeated here.
如图4和图11所示,还可以增加内腔排水管304、外腔排水管305、单向排水装置14;所述内腔排水管设置在所述炉腔内壁301上,所述外腔排水管305设置在所述炉腔盖303上,所述内腔排水管利用外腔排水管的空间进行排水;所述单向排水装置设置在外腔排水管的出水通道上,防止从外腔排水管吸入大量空气。如图4所示,炉腔内壁301与风叶壳之间构成了一个圆环形的槽,当装配了导风轮与喷头时,此槽的深度增加,内腔排水管304就设置在此槽的最底部,便于排水。外腔水排管305也设置在炉腔盖的最底部,为减少排水管占用的空间以及减少排水口的数量,内排水管304的出水口正对着外腔排水管的进水口,内腔排水管的水通过外腔排水管排出。当空气灶工作时外腔排水管的进水口位置处于负压状态,热空气不会从排水管溢出,但处于负压状态会从外面吸入冷空气,所以在外腔排水管的出水通道上设置单向排水装置14。图11中的单向排水装置就是一块能绕轴旋转的薄片,其在重力作用下处于垂直状态,排水口被关闭,就算密封不严实也仅能从此处吸入微量空气,对空气灶没有影响。当有水排出时,单向排水装置14在水流的动能及重力势能的双重作用下打开进行排水。单向排水装置可以是其它单向阀结构,但要求打开的力度小及打开的空间大才行,比如单向膜片阀就是可行的。内腔排水管304的入口还可以设置滤网,防止大颗粒的杂物进入。As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 11, an inner cavity drain pipe 304, an outer cavity drain pipe 305, and a one-way drain device 14 can also be added; the inner cavity drain pipe is arranged on the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity, and the outer cavity drain pipe 305 is arranged on the furnace cavity cover 303. The inner cavity drain pipe uses the space of the outer cavity drain pipe for drainage; the one-way drain device is arranged on the water outlet channel of the outer cavity drain pipe to prevent a large amount of air from being sucked into the outer cavity drain pipe. As shown in Fig. 4, a circular groove is formed between the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity and the fan blade shell. When the guide wheel and the nozzle are assembled, the depth of this groove increases, and the inner cavity drain pipe 304 is arranged at the bottom of this groove for easy drainage. The outer cavity water drain pipe 305 is also arranged at the bottom of the furnace cavity cover. In order to reduce the space occupied by the drain pipe and reduce the number of drainage outlets, the water outlet of the inner drain pipe 304 is directly opposite to the water inlet of the outer cavity drain pipe, and the water of the inner cavity drain pipe is discharged through the outer cavity drain pipe. When the air stove is working, the water inlet position of the outer cavity drain pipe is in a negative pressure state, and hot air will not overflow from the drain pipe, but in a negative pressure state, cold air will be sucked in from the outside, so a one-way drain device 14 is set on the water outlet channel of the outer cavity drain pipe. The one-way drain device in Figure 11 is a thin sheet that can rotate around an axis. It is in a vertical state under the action of gravity, and the drain port is closed. Even if the seal is not tight, only a trace amount of air can be sucked in from here, which has no effect on the air stove. When water is discharged, the one-way drain device 14 opens to drain water under the dual effects of the kinetic energy of the water flow and the gravitational potential energy. The one-way drain device can be other one-way valve structures, but it requires a small opening force and a large opening space, such as a one-way diaphragm valve. A filter screen can also be set at the entrance of the inner cavity drain pipe 304 to prevent large particles of debris from entering.
如图9、图12、图13所示,给出一种可行的外壳及冷却结构。所述外壳包括上壳1、底盖2,所述底盖设置有通风槽201,所述通风槽的一端设有排气孔202,上壳与底盖装配后使所述电机处于通风槽中;所述底盖上还设有进气孔203,所述进气孔的位置使进入外壳中的空气流经所述控制单元8;还包括冷却风扇7,所述冷却风扇的吸风口701与控制单元所在的空间连通,所述冷却风扇的出风口702与所述底盖的通风槽201连通。如图13所示,底盖2上设置通风槽这个凸起的形状,一方面是为了减薄整个灶具的厚度,使视觉效果更好,另一方面是集中冷却风扇7的风力冷却电机601。对于功率较大的电磁炉或电陶炉,都采用两把甚至两把以上的冷却风扇对炉灶内部进行冷却,它们的做法只在于让炉灶内部有更大流量的空气流动,而没有更科学规划冷风的路径。其实只需对用户需要触摸的操作面板、控制单元、电源、电机这些部件进行冷却即可,如果能规划好空气的流动路径,则仅需一把冷却风扇即可。冷却风扇可以采用轴流风扇,但由于内部零件的阻碍,故采用离心式涡轮风扇,效率更高,风压更大,且可以改变空气的流向。如图12所示,冷却风扇7的吸风口701位于控制单元8、电源12所在的空间,由于热空气密度更低会往上升,所以吸风口延长到空间的顶部才能有效的把整个空间的热空气吸走。底盖2在控制单元8及电源12所在的位置开设有进气孔203,进气孔的位置最好集中在散热片及发热量大的元件的位置,外界的冷空气从此处被吸入,第一时间冷却了电子元器件,然后被冷却风扇7吸入,吹向电机601,再从底盖通风槽的排气孔202排出。此种结构对冷却的部位有所取舍,明确了冷却气流的路径,对元器件该用吸风冷却还是吹风冷却都根据其特性做了安排,比如电机所在的位置必须要用较高流速的空气集中冷却,就让其处于冷却风扇的出风口。本结构减少了冷却风扇的使用,具有一定的实用价值。As shown in Fig. 9, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, a feasible shell and cooling structure are provided. The shell includes an upper shell 1 and a bottom cover 2. The bottom cover is provided with a ventilation slot 201. One end of the ventilation slot is provided with an exhaust hole 202. After the upper shell and the bottom cover are assembled, the motor is placed in the ventilation slot; the bottom cover is also provided with an air inlet 203. The position of the air inlet allows the air entering the shell to flow through the control unit 8; and a cooling fan 7 is also provided. The air inlet 701 of the cooling fan is connected to the space where the control unit is located, and the air outlet 702 of the cooling fan is connected to the ventilation slot 201 of the bottom cover. As shown in Fig. 13, the convex shape of the ventilation slot is provided on the bottom cover 2. On the one hand, it is to reduce the thickness of the entire stove and make the visual effect better. On the other hand, it is to concentrate the wind cooling of the cooling fan 7 to cool the motor 601. For induction cookers or electric ceramic cookers with higher power, two or more cooling fans are used to cool the inside of the stove. Their approach is only to allow a larger flow of air to flow inside the stove, but there is no more scientific planning of the cold air path. In fact, it is only necessary to cool the operation panel, control unit, power supply, and motor that the user needs to touch. If the air flow path can be planned well, only a cooling fan is needed. The cooling fan can use an axial flow fan, but due to the obstruction of internal parts, a centrifugal turbo fan is used, which is more efficient, has a greater wind pressure, and can change the direction of air flow. As shown in Figure 12, the air suction port 701 of the cooling fan 7 is located in the space where the control unit 8 and the power supply 12 are located. Since the hot air density is lower and it will rise, the air suction port is extended to the top of the space to effectively absorb the hot air in the entire space. The bottom cover 2 is provided with an air inlet 203 at the location of the control unit 8 and the power supply 12. The position of the air inlet is preferably concentrated at the location of the heat sink and the components with large heat generation. The cold air from the outside is sucked in from here, and the electronic components are cooled at the first time, and then sucked in by the cooling fan 7, blown to the motor 601, and then discharged from the exhaust hole 202 of the bottom cover ventilation slot. This structure makes some trade-offs in cooling locations, clarifies the path of the cooling airflow, and makes arrangements for whether components should be cooled by suction or by blowing according to their characteristics. For example, if the location of the motor must be cooled by concentrated air with a higher flow rate, it is placed at the outlet of the cooling fan. This structure reduces the use of cooling fans and has certain practical value.
图1是空气灶的爆炸图,可以看到各主要部件的立体效果,结合本图便于理解空气灶的结构。Figure 1 is an exploded view of the air stove, in which the three-dimensional effect of the main components can be seen. This figure is helpful for understanding the structure of the air stove.
如图14所示,风叶602安装在炉腔3的外腔中,处于发热单元5的进风侧,风叶把空气吹向发热单元,经发热单元加热后从炉腔的内腔底部喷出。此种结构的风叶外径大,可以低转速实现大风量,对于噪音与电机寿命都有好处。如图14所示,此风叶连接电机的中心圆盘挡住了风流向内腔的路径,所以需要在风叶中心圆盘上开设孔洞以辐条连接,但高速旋转时,辐条就相当于构成了一个实体,就比如风扇,乒乓球可以从静止时的风叶间隙穿过,一旦风扇旋转起来,就无法再穿过去了,除非足够快才有机率。空气分子也如一个个小小的球,只有当风速足够快时才能部分穿过,此时有一个矛盾,要增加风速就必须要增加风叶602的转速,转速一高中心圆盘的辐条转速也更快,空气需要更快的速度才能部分通过,两相抵消,没了用处。所以图14中的结构只是示意图,用于说明风叶也可以安装在外腔中。为避免上述情况,风叶可以设计成杯状,风叶在杯壁内部周向分布,发热单元5也安装在杯内,就规避了上面的问题,发热单元电源连线可以沿炉腔内壁引出,避开旋转的风叶。图14没有风叶壳,也没有喷头,仅需在炉腔内壁底部设置孔洞通风即可,也可设置网孔防止大颗粒掉入外腔中。实施例一中不与本实施例风叶安装方式相冲突的特征,本实施例均可采纳。As shown in Figure 14, the fan blade 602 is installed in the outer cavity of the furnace cavity 3, on the air inlet side of the heating unit 5, and the fan blade blows the air to the heating unit, and the air is ejected from the bottom of the inner cavity of the furnace cavity after being heated by the heating unit. The fan blade of this structure has a large outer diameter, and a large air volume can be achieved at a low speed, which is good for noise and motor life. As shown in Figure 14, the central disc of the fan blade connected to the motor blocks the path of the wind flow to the inner cavity, so it is necessary to open holes on the central disc of the fan blade to connect with the spokes, but when rotating at high speed, the spokes are equivalent to forming an entity, just like a fan, a table tennis ball can pass through the gap between the fan blades when it is stationary, once the fan rotates, it can no longer pass through, unless it is fast enough. Air molecules are also like small balls, and they can only partially pass through when the wind speed is fast enough. At this time, there is a contradiction. To increase the wind speed, the rotation speed of the fan blade 602 must be increased. When the rotation speed is high, the spoke rotation speed of the central disc is also faster. The air needs a faster speed to partially pass through, and the two phases offset each other, which is useless. Therefore, the structure in Figure 14 is only a schematic diagram, which is used to illustrate that the fan blades can also be installed in the outer cavity. To avoid the above situation, the fan blades can be designed to be cup-shaped, and the fan blades are distributed circumferentially inside the cup wall. The heating unit 5 is also installed in the cup, which avoids the above problem. The power connection line of the heating unit can be led out along the inner wall of the furnace cavity to avoid the rotating fan blades. Figure 14 has no fan blade shell and no nozzle. It is only necessary to set holes for ventilation at the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace cavity. Meshes can also be set to prevent large particles from falling into the outer cavity. The features in Example 1 that do not conflict with the fan blade installation method of this embodiment can be adopted in this embodiment.
如图15所示,图中的箭头用于指示炉腔3中空气如何流动,与前两个实施例热空气从所述炉腔3的内腔底部喷出不同,本实施例的热空气从内腔的上部喷出,热空气与锅具完成热交换后从内腔的底部吸入到外腔中。炉腔内壁301的上部开设了出风孔,为防止水从此处进入,所以开设出风口的位置做成了垂直面,为更有效防水,可以在顶部设置延伸的遮挡,就如同图2、图8、图9所示的一样中,上壳1放置锅具的延伸斜面遮住了炉腔3上面的缝隙。此实施例的好处在于空气的流向与其自然对流的方向是一致的,比如经过发热单元5加热后温度升高,密度变小,气流向上流动;喷到内腔中与锅具换热后温度下降,密度变大,空气向下沉;符合自然对流的方向,风叶602就不需要额外作功来克服这种自然对流的力,反而额外增加了驱动空气流动的作用力。但这种结构可能导致锅具中心温度还没有边沿温度高,不过可以通过调节炉腔空气出口的位置与方向来改善,且在一些商用灶的场合这个问题也不在乎,比如食堂炒大锅菜,菜量大,边沿温度高反而成了优势,如果边沿温度低了,则需要加大翻炒的力度和频率才能使菜热得均匀,所以此种方式,在某些特定场合有其实际价值,且通过出风口的改进,可能也能实现实施例一中的加热效果。As shown in Figure 15, the arrows in the figure are used to indicate how the air flows in the furnace cavity 3. Unlike the previous two embodiments in which the hot air is ejected from the bottom of the inner cavity of the furnace cavity 3, the hot air in this embodiment is ejected from the upper part of the inner cavity. After the hot air completes the heat exchange with the cookware, it is sucked into the outer cavity from the bottom of the inner cavity. An air outlet is opened on the upper part of the inner wall 301 of the furnace cavity. In order to prevent water from entering from here, the position where the air outlet is opened is made into a vertical surface. In order to be more effective in waterproofing, an extended shield can be set on the top, just as shown in Figures 2, 8, and 9, the extended inclined surface of the upper shell 1 where the cookware is placed covers the gap above the furnace cavity 3. The advantage of this embodiment is that the direction of air flow is consistent with the direction of its natural convection. For example, after being heated by the heating unit 5, the temperature increases, the density decreases, and the airflow flows upward; after being sprayed into the inner cavity and exchanging heat with the cookware, the temperature drops, the density increases, and the air sinks downward; in accordance with the direction of natural convection, the fan blade 602 does not need to do additional work to overcome the force of this natural convection, but instead increases the force driving the air flow. However, this structure may result in the temperature at the center of the pot being lower than the temperature at the edge. However, this can be improved by adjusting the position and direction of the air outlet of the furnace cavity. This problem is not a big problem in some commercial stoves. For example, in a cafeteria, when cooking large pots of food, the amount of food is large and the high edge temperature becomes an advantage. If the edge temperature is low, the intensity and frequency of stir-frying need to be increased to heat the food evenly. Therefore, this method has practical value in certain specific occasions, and by improving the air outlet, the heating effect in Example 1 may also be achieved.
图15中画出的是轴流风机的结构,还可以采用离心风机,离心风机风叶壳的吸风口与炉腔内壁底部连接,如采用图中圆盘式的发热单元,离心风机的出风口如对着直吹,由于发热单元面积太大,而风机的出风口面积又小,不可能给发热单元均匀提供气流;所以离心风机的出风口可不直接对准发热单元,而是通过对炉腔的外腔施加风压使空气较均匀的流过发热单元,由于离心风机的出风压力大,是可以给整个外腔提供足够大的压力的。如果把发热单元面积做小,不采用这种大圆盘式结构,当其迎风面积与离心风机的出风口相差不大时,则可以直接对着发热单元吹风。无论是轴流风机还是离心风机,都是成熟技术,所以略去离心风机方案的附图。FIG15 shows the structure of an axial flow fan. A centrifugal fan can also be used. The air inlet of the centrifugal fan blade shell is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace cavity. If the disc-shaped heating unit in the figure is used, the air outlet of the centrifugal fan is blown directly. Since the heating unit area is too large and the air outlet area of the fan is small, it is impossible to provide uniform airflow to the heating unit. Therefore, the air outlet of the centrifugal fan may not be directly aimed at the heating unit, but by applying wind pressure to the outer cavity of the furnace cavity, the air flows through the heating unit more evenly. Since the air outlet pressure of the centrifugal fan is large, it can provide a sufficiently large pressure to the entire outer cavity. If the area of the heating unit is made small and this large disc-shaped structure is not used, when its windward area is not much different from the air outlet of the centrifugal fan, it can be blown directly to the heating unit. Both axial flow fans and centrifugal fans are mature technologies, so the attached figure of the centrifugal fan scheme is omitted.
在不相冲突的情况下,实施例一中的结构与方案本实施例均可采纳。像实施例一中的导风轮、喷头、喷头伸降等虽然不冲突,但用在此种风叶结构中不能带来有益效果;而炉腔的制作方法、发热单元、控制单元、电机冷却等等特征,则可以采用完全相同的方案,在此不再赘述。In the absence of conflicts, the structures and solutions in the first embodiment can be adopted in this embodiment. For example, the guide wheel, nozzle, nozzle extension and lowering in the first embodiment do not conflict, but they cannot bring beneficial effects when used in this fan blade structure; while the manufacturing method of the furnace cavity, the heating unit, the control unit, the motor cooling and other features can adopt the same solution, which will not be repeated here.
上述几个实施例并不能穷尽所有的结构与方法,上述所有方案的组合以及任何通过本发明能轻易想到的方案,均是本发明的保护范围。The above embodiments are not exhaustive of all structures and methods. The combination of all the above solutions and any solution that can be easily thought of through the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
