Abstract

A combustion furnace includes an inner shell, an outer shell, a gas inlet piping and a flame inhibiting cover. The inner shell defines a receiving cavity therein. The inner shell defines a plurality of first gas holes around the periphery of a top portion thereof. The inner shell defines a gas inlet hole at a bottom thereof. The outer shell encloses the inner shell such that a gas flowing space is defined between the inner shell and the outer shell. The gas inlet piping has an opening formed at one end thereof, and the gas inlet piping communicates with the gas flowing space. The flame inhibiting cover is atop the outer shell and the inner shell, and a lower flange of the flame inhibiting cover is below the first gas holes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A combustion furnace, comprising:
an inner shell, defining a receiving cavity therein, the inner shell defining a plurality of first gas holes around the periphery of a top portion thereof, the inner shell defining a gas inlet hole at a bottom portion thereof;
an outer shell, enclosing the inner shell such that a gas flowing space is defined between the inner shell and the outer shell;
a gas inlet piping having an opening formed at one end thereof and the gas inlet piping communicating with the gas flowing space;
a flame inhibiting cover including a conical portion and a cylindrical portion extending downwardly from the conical portion, a lower edge of the cylindrical portion being disposed below the first gas holes; and
a combustion supporting device disposed in the receiving cavity and above the gas inlet hole, the combustion supporting device comprising:
a tubular member;
a cone-shaped member, defining an inserting groove therein, a bottom of the tubular member received in the inserting groove; and
a base portion, connected to a bottom of the cone-shaped member,

wherein a powdered ceramic material is placed into a space defined by an outer surface of the lower portion of the tubular member and an inner wall of the cone-shaped member to maintain the temperature of the combustion furnace;
wherein a flame stopping plate encloses and is in direct contact with an outer surface of the cylindrical portion for preventing a flame coming out from the receiving cavity.

2. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , further comprising a baffle sheet assembled to a communicating portion between the gas inlet piping and the gas flowing space.

3. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the gas inlet piping is wedge-shaped.

4. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the flame stopping plate is defined in the range from 1.5 cm to 4 cm.

5. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell further comprises a plurality of via holes defined therearound and between the top portion and the bottom portion thereof, and wherein the diameter of each of the via holes is defined in the range from 0.6 cm to 1 cm.

6. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell further comprises a plurality of second gas holes defined around the periphery of the bottom portion thereof, and wherein the diameter of each of the second gas holes is defined in the range from 0.6 cm to 1 cm.

7. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell further comprises a plurality of third gas holes defined at the bottom thereof and defined around the gas inlet hole, and wherein the diameter of each of the third gas holes is defined in the range from 0.9 cm to 1.2 cm.

8. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell further comprises a plurality of ash removing openings formed at the bottom thereof, wherein the dust removing openings are arranged around the gas inlet hole.

9. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the inner shell is defined in the range from 40 cm to 70 cm, wherein the depth of the inner shell is defined in the range from 60 cm to 130 cm, and wherein the diameter of the outer shell is defined in the range from 42 cm to 75 cm.

10. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of each of the first gas holes is defined in the range from 0.8 cm to 1.5 cm.

11. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the gas inlet hole is 5 cm.

12. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the lower flange of the flame inhibiting cover is defined in the range from 27 cm to 60 cm.

13. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the tubular member further comprises a plurality of vents defined around a top portion thereof.

14. The combustion furnace according to claim 1 , wherein a distance is defined between the bottom of the cone-shaped member and the gas inlet hole.
