Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reflection type oil burner in which a temperature of an upper wall, or a top plate, of a frame body can be lowered more than that of a conventional device, and more particularly to a reflection type oil burner in which radiation efficiency can be enhanced by lowering the temperature of the upper wall, or of the top plate, of the frame body and also by reflecting a heat ray radiated from a combustion-cylinder structure toward the outside of the frame body.
  • reflection type oil burner provided with a combustion-cylinder structure and with a reflection plate provided behind the combustion-cylinder structure in a frame body.
  • the reflection plate reflects a heat ray radiated from the combustion-cylinder structure in a forward direction from the frame body through an opening portion provided on a front wall of the frame body. Radiant heat, or a heat ray, and high-temperature exhaust gas, or combustion gas run out of this kind of reflection type oil burner.
  • the high-temperature exhaust gas, or combustion gas flows up out of the combustion-cylinder structure, then is guided by one or more heat-shielding plate provided between an upper portion of the reflection plate and the upper wall, or the top plate, of the frame body, and flows toward the opening portion provided at the front wall of the frame body.
  • the exhaust gas which has flown out of a front end of the heat-shielding plate through the opening portion, flows up right away. Therefore a temperature is elevated on an upper end of the opening portion located at a front region of the frame body, and on a front portion of the upper wall of the frame body.
  • the heat-shielding plates are located right above the combustion-cylinder structure, a temperature of the heat-shielding plate is elevated by the heat ray and the high-temperature exhaust gas which upwardly run out of the combustion-cylinder structure. Therefore the temperature of the whole upper wall of the frame body is elevated by the high-temperature heat-shielding plates.
  • a temperature of a frame body and a safety guard are defined by the UL safety standard in the United States and the NF safety standard in France.
  • a temperature of a frame body is required to be low enough to prevent a serious burn injury in case one touches a frame body.
  • a safety guard is required so as to prevent one's hand from touching high-temperature portions close to an opening portion.
  • a prior art in which a temperature of a frame body is lowered is proposed as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6199/1974 .
  • an upper heat-shielding plate is provided between a lower heat-shielding plate which is to be at a high temperature and the upper wall of the frame body.
  • An electric fan is employed to forcibly send winds into a space between the upper and lower heat-shielding plates, and also between the upper heat-shielding plate and the upper wall, so that the temperature of the upper wall can be lowered.
  • Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 15885/1975 discloses a prior art in which a fin is provided at a lower side of an end of a heat-shielding plate to change an angle at which exhaust gas flows out. This fin enables the exhaust gas to flow in a forward direction from a frame body to prevent exhaust gas from approaching an upper wall of the frame body. Thus a temperature of the upper wall of the frame body is kept low.
  • United State Patent Publication No. 5,226,811 based on Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 110308/1992 discloses a reflection type oil burner comprising: a frame body including a front wall having an opening portion, a rear wall opposing to said front wall, two side walls connecting said front wall and said rear wall, and upper wall connected to an upper end portion of each of said walls; a combustion-cylinder structure provided in said frame body, for radiating a heat ray around a heat ray-radiating section thereof; a partition wall laterally extending in said frame body and having a through hole through which said heat ray-radiating section of said combustion-cylinder structure passes; a reflection plate provided at both sides of and behind said heat ray-radiating section of said combustion-cylinder structure, for reflecting said heat ray toward said opening portion; a plurality of heat-shielding plates including a lower heat-shielding plate and an upper heat-shielding plate which are vertically spaced between said reflection plate and said upper wall portion, for preventing heat emitted from said combustion
  • Exhaust gas, or combustion gas collides with the combustion-gas-collision member and is diffused while flowing along the lower heat-shielding plate.
  • the combustion-gas-collision member provided at the lower heat-shielding plate can be prevented from forming a region where combustion gas intensively flows out. Consequently a local elevation of a temperature at the central portion on the end of the upper wall of the frame body is prevented.
  • a heat ray has emitted from a combustion-cylinder structure and reflected by a reflection plate is radiated in a forward direction from a frame body through an opening portion provided at a front wall of the frame body.
  • a heat ray upwardly emitted from a combustion-cylinder structure and reflected by a lower heat-shielding plate is radiated toward a lower region in a frame body, thereby being unable to advance toward an opening portion.
  • radiation efficiency of the conventional structure was low, thereby elevating a temperature in the frame body.
  • the heat ray reaches a floor surface far away from the frame body, but not a floor surface close to the frame body, since the angle at which the heat ray is reflected by the reflection plate is not appropriate for the closer surface of the floor. Therefore a temperature of the floor surface close to the frame body is low. If a temperature is low on a part of a floor, the part of the floor surface deprives its surrounding area of the heat, thereby deteriorating heating efficiency. Thus there is much in demand for warming up a wide range of a floor surface.
  • the present invention provides a reflection type oil burner which solves the problems as described above and which especially serves to avoid overheating of the upper wall.
  • a reflection type oil burner is comprising: a frame body 1 including a front wall having an opening portion 2, a rear wall opposing to said front wall, two side walls connecting said front wall and said rear wall, and upper wall connected to an upper end portion of each of said walls; a combustion-cylinder structure 3 provided in said frame body 1, for radiating a heat ray around a heat ray-radiating section thereof; a partition wall (8) laterally extending in said frame body 1 and having a through hole 8a through which said heat ray-radiating section of said combustion-cylinder structure 3 passes; a reflection plate 4 provided at both sides of and behind said heat ray-radiating section of said combustion-cylinder structure 3, for reflecting said heat ray toward said opening portion 2; a plurality of heat-shielding plates 5 including a lower heat-shielding plate 5b and an upper heat-shielding plate 5a which are vertically spaced between said reflection plate 4 and said upper
  • the exhaust gas, or the combustion gas is diffused to lower its temperature when flowing over the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • the combustion gas continues to flow along a lower surface of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b at an increasing flow speed.
  • the combustion gas flows out of the frame body 1 in a forward direction.
  • the angle at which the combustion gas flows up right after flowing out through the opening portion 2 starts to increase at a position a certain distance away from the opening portion 2.
  • the upper wall 1E of the frame body can be prevented from being directly heated up by the combustion gas which has flown out of the opening portion 2.
  • the elevation of the temperature of the upper wall 1E is suppressed.
  • Cool air, or air outside the frame body, which has entered through one or more air inlet 1b provided on the rear wall 1B of the frame body 1 passes through between the upper heat-shielding plate 5a and the lower heat-shielding plate 5b, and flows out of the outlet 1a provided at a front portion of the frame body 1.
  • the air which has run out of the outlet 1a advance along an upper side of the flowing the exhaust gas which has flown over the combustion-gas-collision member 6. The air, then, prevents the exhaust gas from flowing up after the exhaust gas flows out through the opening portion 2.
  • the exhaust gas flows out of an end portion of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b in a forward direction of the frame body 1, and advance along the lower side of the running air which has run out of the air outlet 1a.
  • the high-temperature exhaust gas flows apart from the front portion of the upper wall 1E of the frame body 1, thereby being able to keep the upper wall 1E at a low temperature.
  • An inclined angle of a front portion of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b is smaller than that of a rear portion thereof.
  • the front portion thereof is located in front of the combustion-gas-collision member 6, the rear portion thereof being located behind the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • a central portion 6a of the combustion-gas-collision member 6 facing the combustion-cylinder structure 3 is formed lower than side portions 6b located on both sides of the central portion 6a.
  • combustion gas can flow over the central portion 6a easier than the side portions 6b.
  • This arrangement can alleviate a decrease of a flowing speed of the combustion gas flowing over the central portion 6a of the combustion-gas-collision member 6. Consequently, the combustion gas at the highest temperature, which is to forwardly flow out at the end portion of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b, can advance further away from the front portion of the upper wall 1E of the frame body 1, thereby being able to suppress the elevation of the temperature at the central portion of the front end of the upper wall 1E.
  • a flow of combustion gas toward the opening portion 2 along the lower heat-shielding plate 5b is hindered by the combustion-gas-collision member 6, thereby elevating a temperature of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b.
  • radiation heat from the lower heat-shielding plate 5b at a high temperature increases, and reflects in a forward direction from the frame body 1 through the opening portion 2.
  • the combustion gas and the radiation heat which run out in a forward direction from the frame body 1 increase, thereby enhancing radiation efficiency.
  • the reflection type oil burner mentioned above is characterized in that: a plurality of protrusions 7 protruding toward said partition wall 8 are provided at an area of said lower heat-shielding plate 5b between a facing region of said lower heat-shielding plate 5b facing said combustion-cylinder structure 3 and said combustion-gas-collision member 6; said plurality of protrusions 7 are so formed to extend radially from said facing region of said lower heat-shielding plate toward combustion-gas-collision member 6, and are so spaced as to be capable of guiding said combustion gas while radially diffusing said combustion gas, which has flown out of said combustion-cylinder-structure 3 and has hit said facing region of said lower heat-shielding plate, toward said opening portion; said plurality of protrusions 7 are press-formed in a wave shape integrally with said lower heat-shielding plate 5b, and a shape of each surface of said plurality of protrusions 7 is so defined that a heat ray emitted from
  • the combustion gas flowing toward the opening portion 2 is diffused, thereby lowering a temperature of the combustion gas when the combustion gas flows out of the opening portion 2. Furthermore, since the combustion gas is also diffused when it flows over the heat-collision member, the temperature of the combustion gas is lowered, thereby suppressing an elevation of a temperature of the upper wall 1E.
  • the heat ray reflected by the lower heat-shielding plate 5b diffuses and radiates. Since the heat ray diffusely reflects and radiates through the opening portion 2 while diffusing, a wide range of the front portion of the frame body 1 and a floor surface can be evenly warmed up.
  • a heat ray reflected by the reflection plate 4 and radiated in a forward direction of the flame body 1, and a radiation heat from the reflection plate 4 are radiated toward a floor surface apart from the frame body 1 as well as a floor surface in front of the frame body 1.

  • a flow of combustion gas toward the opening portion 2 along the lower heat-shielding plate 5b is hindered by the combustion-gas-collision member 6, thereby elevating a temperature of the lower heat-shielding plate 5b.
  • radiation heat from the lower heat-shielding plate 5b at a high temperature increases, and reflects in a forward direction from the frame body 1 through the opening portion 2.
  • a plurality of through holes 6c, passing through said combustion-gas-collision member 6 toward said opening portion 2, are formed at said side portions 6b, except the central portion 6a, of said combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • the combustion gas is blocked by the central portion 6a of the combustion-gas-collision member 6, and then is separated into the right and left.

Therefore the heat ray advancing toward a floor surface does not concentrate on a certain part but evenly reaches in a forward direction from the frame body 1 or on a floor surface, thereby enhancing heating efficiency as well as radiation heat ray efficiency.
  • a central portion 6a of the combustion-gas-collision member 6 facing the combustion-cylinder structure 3 is formed lower than side portions 6b located on both sides of the central portion 6a thereof.
  • combustion gas can flow over the central portion 6a easier than the side portions 6b.
  • This arrangement can alleviate a decrease of a flow speed of combustion gas flowing over the central portion 6a of the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • a plurality of through holes 6c are provided at side portions 6b, except a central portion 6a, of the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • the combustion gas passes through the through holes 6c provided at the right and left sides 6b of the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • the combustion gas is separated into the right and left and, then, can be prevented from concentrating at the central portion of the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • the combustion gas is, then, stirred by diffusing when passing through the through holes 6c, thereby lowering the temperature of the combustion gas.
  • the combustion gas of even temperature diffuses and flows in a wide range over the whole of the combustion-gas-collision member 6.
  • a combustion-gas-collision member 6 for blocking the flow of the combustion gas is provided on the lower-heat-shielding plate 5b so as to increase the radiation heat from the lower-heat-shielding plate 5b which is to be at high temperature by the combustion-gas-collision member 6A.
  • the radiation heat can be radiated in a forward direction from the frame body 1 through the opening portion 2.
  • a wide range in front of the flame body 1 can be warmed up so as to enhance heating efficiency.
  • a lower heat-shielding plate is provided in such a manner to be higher at an opening portion.
  • a heat ray reflected by an inclined surface of the lower heat-shielding plate as well as a heat ray reflected by the reflection plate can be reflected in a forward direction of the frame body through the opening portion.
  • the air outside the body frame has been drawn through one or more air inlet provided at the rear wall portion of the frame body, and flows between an upper heat-shielding plate and the lower heat shield in plate. And then the air runs out of the outlet in a forward direction from the outlet.
  • the air which has run out of an air outlet advance along an upper side of the flowing exhaust gas and prevents the exhaust gas, which has flown over the combustion-gas-collision member, from flowing up after the exhaust gas flows out of the opening portion.
  • a combustion-gas-collision member for blocking a flow of the exhaust gas since a combustion-gas-collision member for blocking a flow of the exhaust gas is located not closer to a front end of a lower heat-shielding plate but closer to a combustion-cylinder structure, the exhaust gas flows along the lower heat-shielding plate again toward the opening portion at an increasing flow speed after flowing over the combustion-gas-collision member. And the exhaust gas flows out in a forward direction from the frame body. Along with increasing a flow speed of the combustion gas flowing out of the opening portion, the angle at which the combustion gas flows up right after flowing out of the opening portion starts to increase at a position a certain distance away from the opening portion. As a result, it is possible to prevent an upper wall of the frame body from directly being heated up by the combustion gas which has flown out of the opening portion, and to suppress an elevation of a temperature of the upper wall rather than that of the conventional arts.
