DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(14) To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure more obvious, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and obviously, the described embodiments are some, rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments acquired by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

(15) As shown in FIG. 1, disclosed in the embodiment is a burner. The burner includes a housing, a fan, a burning head and an ignition mechanism. The housing 1 includes an air inlet 6, and the air inlet and an input end of the burning head form a pressure equalizing cavity 7. The fan blows mixed gas of fuel gas and air through the burning head to uniformly mix the mixed gas. The ignition mechanism is arranged at an output end of the burning head 4 and is used for igniting the mixed gas of the fuel gas and the air. In this embodiment, the ignition mechanism may be an ignition needle 5. The burning head includes a main frame and at least one stable burning isolation strip 13. An interior of the main frame 11 is divided into at least two ventilation areas by the stable burning isolation strip in a gas channel direction, and a plurality of separation mechanisms are arranged in each ventilation area and divide the ventilation area into a plurality of through holes 12 distributed in the gas channel direction. The through holes are used for allowing mixed gas to pass through and strengthening a mixing effect of fuel gas and air, burning flames of a burning surface of the main frame may be separated to form mutually independent flames by means of the stable burning isolation strip. The fuel gas passing through a micro-channel rectifier is ignited to form a hollow conical flame 9.

(16) By means of an air distributor 2 arranged between the air inlet 6 of the housing and the burning head 4 or between the air inlet 6 of the housing and the micro-channel rectifier 3, the fuel gas and the air are uniformly distributed, and an outlet of the mixed gas of the fuel gas and air is an outlet of the micro-channel rectification burner. A micro-channel rectifier 3 is further arranged in the pressure equalizing cavity, so as to form a secondary gas pressure equalizing mixing cavity 8 to obtain a better rectification effect.

(17) In some implementation modes, an air outlet of the fan is connected to an air inlet of the housing, and a fuel gas outlet of a fuel gas pipeline is connected in front of an air inlet or behind the air outlet of the fan.

(18) In other optional implementation modes, the burner further includes a smoke pipe, where the air inlet of the fan is connected to a smoke outlet of the housing, the smoke pipe is connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the fuel gas outlet of the fuel gas pipeline is connected behind the air inlet of the housing. The fan 112 is used for providing combustion air.

(19) The stable burning isolation strip is attached to a surface of the main frame, or penetrates the main frame in a thickness direction, or extends into the main frame by a preset length; the stable burning isolation strip is fixed on the main frame, and the ventilation areas are embedded in the main frame; alternatively, the ventilation areas are fixed on the main frame, and the stable burning isolation strip is attached to the main frame; and alternatively, the ventilation areas are fixed on the stable burning isolation strip, and the ventilation areas and the stable burning isolation strip are integrally fixed on the main frame, or an integral structure is integrally formed.

(20) In a process that fuel gas is input into the gas channel in the main frame by an air blower/exhaust fan, there are many directions for the entering gas. Under the condition that the area of ventilation areas is too large, a flame connecting phenomenon is prone to occurring, and therefore the single ventilation area having an area small enough is required. When the embodiment is used in various fields, the cross-sectional area of the single through hole may be different, but it should be guaranteed that the single through hole has a cross-sectional area S.sub.hole satisfying 0.1 mm.sup.2S.sub.hole9 mm.sup.2. According to different manufacturing processes or other possible influencing factors, a certain defective rate, non-uniform pore sizes, or specifications of a certain number of pores exceeding a range of the present disclosure may be considered to be within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

(21) The ventilation areas have a thickness/height h satisfying 4 mmh1000 mm. Different through holes may have equal heights or not, upper surfaces and lower surfaces of the holes may be planar or not, but it needs to be guaranteed that after entering the micropores, the mixed gas of fuel gas and air may continuously collide at the pore walls of the micropores and mix due to limitation of a pore volume, and then a output direction of the fuel gas at the output end of the gas channel is a straight line. The micropores have an effect of mixing and rectification in the process, such that the burning efficiency of the flame is further enhanced.

(22) The stable burning isolation strip has a width D.sub.1 satisfying 2 mmD.sub.150 mm.

(23) The ventilation area is formed by patches of continuous through holes, and each ventilation area has a cross-sectional area S.sub.n satisfying 30 mm.sup.2S.sub.n22500 mm.sup.2.

The main frame is rectangular, and the internal stable burning isolation strips are elongated shape, which divides the interior of the rectangle into a plurality of uniform areas, and the flames of adjacent pores are of pyramid-like shape (flame surfaces are of hollow cone shape). As shown in FIG. 6, in other optional embodiments, the areas divided in the interior of the rectangle may be different in area, the stable burning isolation strip may also be discontinuous, but it needs to be guaranteed that the stable burning isolation strip has a width D.sub.1 equal to a total length of three to ten through holes and a discontinuous section has a width D.sub.2 equal to a total length of one or two through holes. The separation mechanism may be of an illustrated linear type or other regular or irregular shapes, but the separation mechanism is needed.

Its main purpose is to separate the main frame. In a traditional process that fuel gas is input into the gas channel in the main frame by an air blower/exhaust fan, due to spiral action of the fan, the output air is high in flow speed in a local area and low in flow speed in another local area, causing an erratic flame, and therefore burning is incomplete. In the present disclosure, the main frame is divided into a plurality of areas by the stable burning isolation strips. Although burning powers of the adjacent areas are still different, the adjacent flames may be unaffected, so as to achieve stable burning.

(30) Materials of the burning component include non-metal material and metal material. For example, the non-metal material may be honeycomb ceramic, and it is to be noted that an use principle of an existing honeycomb ceramic porous burner is intra-hole burning, which is different from a principle of the present disclosure (as for a honeycomb ceramic porous structure, burning is firstly carried out in a flame form, after a ceramic plate is heated by the flame, burning returns to porous channels and is completed in the porous channels; and the burner is in a red hot state and generates a large amount of infrared radiation, and is also called an infrared burner; and the burner is prone to burst after being rapidly cooled and rapidly heated, burning power is limited, and the burner cannot be used as a high-power heater).
