Abstract

A heat source device including a sheet-metal burner body ( 30 ), a fan casing ( 40 ) connected to the burner body ( 30 ), an annular packing ( 90 ) connecting a burner-side connection end surface ( 340 ) with a fan-side connection end surface ( 410 ) in an airtight state, a sheet-metal connection part ( 80 ) disposed between the burner-side connection end surface ( 340 ) and the fan-side connection end surface ( 410 ), wherein the connection part has an opening ( 85 ) and a packing storage portion ( 84 ) storing the annular packing ( 90 ), wherein the opening ( 85 ) is provided in such a manner that an opening edge is positioned outside of those of an inlet port ( 35 ) and a blowout port ( 44 ) in a state where the connection part ( 80 ) is disposed between the burner-side connection end surface ( 340 ) and the fan-side connection end surface ( 410 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A heat source device comprising:
a sheet-metal burner body having a burner mounted thereon, the sheet-metal burner body being formed of a press-molded sheet metal;
a fan casing connected to the burner body;
a fan disposed in the fan casing and configured to supply a mixture gas of fuel gas and combustion air to the burner;
an annular packing connecting, in an airtight state, a burner-side connection end surface in a peripheral portion of an inlet port formed at an upstream end of a burner-side connection flow passage of the burner body with a fan-side connection end surface in a peripheral portion of a blowout port formed at a downstream end of a fan-side connection flow passage of the fan casing; and
a sheet-metal connection part disposed between the burner-side connection end surface and the fan-side connection end surface,
wherein the connection part is fixed to the burner body and fastened to the fan casing,
wherein the connection part has an opening and a packing storage portion storing the annular packing,
wherein the packing storage portion is positioned between the opening and the burner-side connection end surface,
wherein the packing storage portion is a recess portion surrounded by the burner-side connection end surface, the fan-side connection end surface, and an opening edge of the opening of the connection part in a state where the connection part is disposed between the burner-side connection end surface and the fan-side connection end surface,
wherein the opening is configured such that the opening edge of the opening is positioned outside of an opening edge of the inlet port and an opening edge of the blowout port in a state where the connection part is disposed between the burner-side connection end surface and the fan-side connection end surface,
wherein the connection part is welded to the burner-side connection end surface, and the connection part is fastened to the fan-side connection end surface with a screw.

2. The heat source device according to claim 1 , wherein
the annular packing has a projecting portion projecting outward from an outer peripheral portion thereof, and
the projecting portion engages to a peripheral portion of the opening.

3. The heat source device according to claim 1 , wherein
the burner body includes:
a main burner body unit on which the burner is mounted; and
an introducing unit protruding upward and outward from a portion of the main burner body unit, having a side face including the inlet port, and defining the burner-side connection flow passage, wherein
the connection part is fixed by welding to an upper exterior surface of the main burner body unit, to an upper exterior surface of the introducing unit, and to the burner-side connection end surface in the peripheral portion of the inlet port.
