Theprogram controller 160 outputs a signal to theair flap actuator 145 to control the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 according to the requirements of a combustion load, thedisplacement sensor 146 outputs a detected signal with respect to the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 to theinverter 147, and theinverter 147 accordingly regulates the frequency output to theblower motor 142, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the blower motor. - In the above-mentioned embodiment, the
displacement sensor 146 is linked to theair flap actuator 145, so as to detecting the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143. Obviously, thedisplacement sensor 146 also can be linked to the air flap mechanism 143 (for example, linked to the spindle of the air flap baffle), which also can detect the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143. - Preferably, the
displacement sensor 146 is a rotating-type or sliding-type potentiometer, and theair flap mechanism 143 is linked to the potentiometer. When theair flap actuator 145 regulates the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143, the potentiometer outputs different resistances according the travel of its own rotation angle (or slide distance), served as a control input to theinverter 147. - The
program controller 160 is wired to afirepower regulating controller 150, thefirepower regulating controller 150 is wired to a temperature/pressure sensor 151 fitted at a thermal device (includes heat exchange device or heating device), the sensor detects the temperature/pressure of the thermal device, the temperature/pressure signal detected is fed back to thefirepower regulating controller 150 and accordingly calculates the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 and transfers to theprogram controller 160 to execute the control of theair flap actuator 145. - The safety operation monitoring device mainly includes a flame monitor, which is used for monitoring the condition of the combustion flame and producing fed back signal to the
program controller 160. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , theinverter 147 is provided with a minimum output frequency and a maximum output frequency settings. Between the minimum output frequency and the maximum output frequency settings, its output frequency towards theblower motor 142 is regulated correspondingly to the signal of thedisplacement sensor 146. Referring toFIG. 6 , using a potentiometer as an example, between the minimum and maximum output frequency settings, the output frequency of theinverter 147 is regulated correspondingly to the change of the resistance value of the potentiometer. Certainly, the value illustrated in theFIG. 6 , such as the resistance value of the potentiometer, the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143, the output frequency of theinverter 147, is merely one possible embodiment, but not used for limiting the present invention. - Now take a potentiometer as a displacement sensor for example to illustrate the operation of the burner disclosed by the present invention, which mainly includes the following stages.
- 1. Stand by stage: the contacts of the automatic control loop are separated; the fuel supply is cut off; the
blower device 14 stops running; theair flap mechanism 143 in closed position; and waiting for the startup instruction. - 2. Start up stage: the contacts of the automatic control loop are closed; the burner begins to carry out a series of safety check programs; and a pre-purging program can be started after the system safety check is confirmed.
- 3. Pre-purging stage: the
air flap actuator 145 rotates forward (or moves forward) and opens theair flap mechanism 143 at low speed; simultaneously, theblower motor 142 starts up and begins to rotate at low speed; during theair flap mechanism 143 opening, the resistance output of the potentiometer changes; when the resistance output of the potentiometer exceeds the minimum setting of theinverter 147, theinverter 147 will increase the output frequency according to the input resistance, and theblower motor 142 will increase the rotate speed indirectly to follow the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143; when the resistance output of the potentiometer exceeds the maximum input setting of theinverter 147, theblower motor 142 stops speeding up and continues to rotate at high speed until the pre-purging stage is completed. - 4. Ignition stage: at the end of the pre-purging stage, the
air flap actuator 145 rotates in the opposite direction (or moves backward) to close theair flap mechanism 143 at low speed; simultaneously, theblower motor 142 reduces the rotating speed (corresponding to the output of the potentiometer), theair flap mechanism 143 stops at a preset ignition position (or angle), at this time, theblower motor 142 is running at minimum rotating speed, ready for the ignition of start flame; the ignition electrode(s) is electrified to produce arc discharge, then the pilot valve A4 is opened and allows little fuel to enter into thecombustion head 10 for ignition of the start flame, after the start flame is ignited and confirmed, thefuel regulating valve 121 is opened to allow the fuel to enter into thecombustion head 10 for ignition of the main flame; after the main flame is firing normally and the flame safety check is confirmed, the pilot valve A4 is cut off, at this time, the burner is firing at low flame, the ignition stage is completed. - 5. Normal combustion and load regulating stage: at the normal combustion stage, the adjustment of opening position of the
air flap mechanism 143 is controlled by thefirepower regulating controller 150; theair flap actuator 145 regulates the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 according the load; the resistance variation of the potentiometer (linked with the air flap mechanism 143) controls the output of theinverter 147; the rotating speed of theblower motor 142 is indirectly controlled by theair flap actuator 145; since thefuel regulating valve 121 is an air/fuel ratio fuel regulating valve, the air pressure of theair duct 148 automatically controls the opening position of thefuel regulating valve 121, thereby increasing/reducing the input of fuels. - 6. Post-purging stage: when the contacts of automatic control loop are separated, the
program controller 160 cuts off the fuel valves and stops fuel supply. The burner begins the post-purging stage; theair flap actuator 145 rotates forward (or moves forward) and drives theair flap mechanism 143 to open wider, theblower motor 142 is running at a higher speed to increase the purging air quantity. If the thermal equipment needn't execute a post-purging program, the blast purging program of this stage will be skipped. - 7. Stop running (return to stand by) stage: after finishing (or skipping) the post-purging stage, the
inverter 147 stops operation (theblower motor 142 stops running), theair flap mechanism 143 executes a rotation in opposite direction (or moves backward) to drive the air flap mechanism down until the air flap mechanism moves to a preset closed position (or angle). The burner is in a stand by stage waiting for a next start up instruction. - The
blower device 14 of the present invention has anair flap mechanism 143 controlled by anair flap actuator 145, and aninverter 147 for controlling the rotation speed of ablower motor 142, and has adisplacement sensor 146, linked with theair flap actuator 145 and for controlling the output frequency of theinverter 147. Theprogram controller 160 instructs theair flap actuator 145 to control the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 according to the requirements of a combustion load. According to a signal with respect to the opening position of theair flap mechanism 143 as detected by thedisplacement sensor 146, theinverter 147 regulates the frequency output to theblower motor 142 so as to control the rotation speed of theblower motor 142. Thus, by combining the speed control achieved by changing the frequency and the adjustment of the air flap mechanism, the firepower regulating range of the burner can be extended. For example,FIG. 7 shows an operating curve of the burner when using an inverter to achieve speed control and combining a blower inlet-type air flap mechanism regulation, andFIG. 8 shows an operating curve of the burner when using an inverter to achieve speed control and combining a blower outlet-type air flap mechanism regulation. It can be seen from the figures that, by a way of combining the adjustment of the air flap mechanism and the speed control achieved by changing the frequency, when the combustion load is higher, it can be achieved by using higher frequency output of the inverter cooperated with the adjustment of bigger opening position of the air flap mechanism, when the combustion load is lower, it can be achieved by using lower frequency output of the inverter cooperated with the adjustment of smaller opening position of the air flap mechanism, thereby can achieve the firepower regulating range of 5:1 or even wider. - While the invention has been described in connection with what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments. For example, all of the combustion head, the ignition device, the fuel delivery/regulating device, the safety operation monitoring device and the control device of the burner can adopt suitable structures of the current technology. Any equivalent arrangements or modifications included within the scope of claims should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
