Combustion apparatus

Abstract

A combustion apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a fuel storage container for storing fuel, a combustor having a certain length and connected to the fuel storage container and a pipe so as to be supplied with fuel and combust fuel, an air blower disposed at one end of the combustor and supplying air into the combustor, and a flame plate disposed over the combustor in a longitudinal direction and perfectly combusting air that is imperfectly combusted in the combustor. The combustor has a groove formed in a longitudinal direction of the combustor, an ignition heater disposed in the longitudinal direction of the groove and generating heat, an ignition wick disposed over the ignition heater, absorbing fuel, and igniting by heat, and a pair of combustion wicks disposed in the longitudinal direction of the combustor so as to be spaced away from the ignition wick by a certain distance and combusting fuel.

1 . A combustion apparatus, comprising:
 a fuel storage container which is adapted to store fuel;   a combustor which has a certain length and connected to the fuel storage container and a pipe so as to be supplied with fuel and combust fuel;   an air blower which is disposed at one end of the combustor and supplying air into the combustor; and   a flame plate which is disposed over the combustor in a longitudinal direction and perfectly combusting air that is imperfectly combusted in the combustor,   wherein the combustor comprises:
 a groove which is formed in a longitudinal direction of the combustor; 
 an ignition heater which is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the groove and generating heat; 
 an ignition wick which is disposed over the ignition heater, absorbing fuel, and igniting by heat; and 
 a pair of combustion wicks which are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the combustor so as to be spaced away from the ignition wick by a certain distance and combusting fuel. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the combustor further comprises:
 a combustion chamber wherein the fuel supplied from the fuel storage container can be com busted; and   an air supply chamber which is able to receive air from the air blower and supply the air to the combustion chamber,   wherein a plurality of air holes are formed between the air supply chamber and the combustion chamber so as to supply air of the air supply chamber in order for the fuel, which has been supplied into the combustion chamber, to be efficiently combusted.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the combustor comprises:
 an inner wall which is equipped with a plurality of air holes at its side surface; and   an outer wall which is installed spaced apart at a certain distance from the inner wall from an outer side of the inner wall and defines the air supply chamber together with the inner wall.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the air hole comprises a first combustion air hole which is formed at a lower portion of the inner wall and is adapted to supply air which will be used to first combust the fuel stored in the combustion chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the air hole comprises a second combustion air hole which is formed at an upper portion of the first combustion air hole and is adapted to second combust the fuel which has been first combusted. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the air hole further comprises a plurality of flame alignment air holes which are formed at regular distances at an upper portion of the second combustion air hole and are adapted to align toward the center the flame which has been combusted in the combustion chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a metallic fuel supply pipe which is installed extending from the groove, wherein a fuel adjusting device is provided between the fuel supply pipe and the pipe so as to adjust the amount of the fuel which is inputted into the combustor.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the air blower comprises:
 an air blowing fan which is engaged to a motor shaft and is adapted to generate wind; and   an air blowing duct which is able to guide toward the air supply chamber the air which is being blown from the air blowing fan,   wherein the air blowing duct is equipped with a through hole through which the fuel supply pipe passes through.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the flame plate comprises:
 a ceramic member which is provided at an upper portion of the combustor and is able to completely combust the gas, which has been incompletely combusted by the combustor, in such a way to reheat the incompletely com busted gas; and   a discharge port which is formed smaller than the width of the combustion chamber with the aid of the ceramic member, thus discharging the gas com busted by the combustor.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a fuel pump is installed at the pipe so as to smoothly supply the fuel to the combustor.
