Abstract

A radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater comprises a glass tube having a section of heat-resistant net tube made of high-temperature resistant material and mounted on an upper opening thereof; a heat-resistant net tube including countless meshes at a periphery thereof, a top outlet sealed and a bottom outlet connected to the upper opening of the glass tube; and a cover being a bowl-shaped arranged on the heat-resistant net tube and including a multitude of circulation holes at a periphery thereof; whereby a flame emitted from the flame outlet along the glass tube up to the top outlet of the heat-resistant net tube by chimney effect to accumulate the heat and produce infrared to increase the radiation thermal of the glass tube; an exhaust in the glass tube outflows from the meshes of the heat-resistant net tube to the circulation holes of the cover and discharges upward.

Claims (16)

1. A radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater, comprising:

a housing defining an inside space for installing a gas barrel;

a base mounted on the housing and having a burner therein and a flame outlet at a top thereof;

a plurality of support members disposed on the housing and having a bottom end arranged at a periphery of the flame outlet;

a frame body arranged at a top of the plurality of support members, a mounted space being formed between the support members;

a glass tube having a lower opening at a first end thereof mounted on the flame outlet for positioning the glass tube in the mounted space between the support members;

a heat-resistant net tube made of high-temperature resistant material and mounted to extend longitudinally upward from an upper opening of the glass tube; the heat-resistant net tube including an intermediate portion having a plurality of mesh openings formed therethrough, the heat-resistant net tube having a top end sealed and a bottom outlet connected to the upper opening of the glass tube; and

a cover arranged on the heat-resistant net tube to be longitudinally displaced from the intermediate portion thereof, the cover including a multitude of circulation holes at a periphery thereof;

whereby a flame emitted from the flame outlet along the glass tube heats the heat-resistant net tube to thereby increase the thermal radiation of the glass tube; and an exhaust in the glass tube flows out through the mesh openings of the heat-resistant net tube to be discharged through the circulation holes of the cover.

2. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 1 , wherein a lid body seals the top end of the heat-resistant net tube, and an annular sleeve body is mounted on the bottom outlet of the heat-resistant net tube, and an inserted hole extending through a bottom edge of the annular sleeve body for receiving the upper opening of the glass tube and a plurality of elastic pieces are mounted at a periphery of the inserted hole for positioning an opposing second end of the glass tube.

3. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 2 , wherein a bottom surface of the cover is locked to a top of the lid body by a plurality of bolts.

4. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 3 , further comprising a convex ring at a top periphery of the cover, wherein the convex ring is locked between a top end of the plurality of support members and a bottom surface of the frame body by a plurality of bolts.

5. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 1 , wherein the glass tube is made of quartz glass.

6. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 1 , wherein the heat-resistant net tube is made of a high-temperature resistant metal of the stamping forming or a heat-resistant ceramic.

7. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of protective wire mesh pieces being fixed between the support members.

8. The radiant heat lifting device for outdoor flame heater as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cover is bowl-shaped.
