【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は、石油ストーブ・石油こんろ等に用い
る燃焼器具用芯の製造方法に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wick for a combustion appliance used in a kerosene stove, kerosene stove, etc.
従来、石油燃焼器具用芯を製するには織機で織
成された織成組織のものと、経編機等にて編成式
に編綴する編成組織としたもの等が提案されてい
るが、いずれも上部がガラス繊維などの耐熱燃焼
芯、下部を木綿繊維などの燃焼吸上芯とで構成さ
せていたものである。 Conventionally, two methods have been proposed for manufacturing cores for oil-burning appliances: one is woven using a loom, and the other is knitted using a warp knitting machine. In both cases, the upper part consists of a heat-resistant combustion wick made of glass fiber or the like, and the lower part consists of a combustible wick made of cotton fiber or the like.
従つて前者の織成組織で全体を構成することは
工程が複雑多岐にわたり、しかも材料のロスが多

発性能が低下する欠点があり、また芯全体を編成
組織によるときは横糸の数量が織成組織のものよ

筋目が上下方向に連成されるため緊急消火時に際
し、芯全体を急降下させるとタンク内の内圧ガス
が、この筋目を通つて燃焼筒上に噴上げられるた
め器具上に異常立炎する欠点があつた。 Therefore, constructing the entire structure using the former type of woven structure requires complicated and diverse processes, and has the drawbacks of high cost due to a large amount of material loss, as well as a decrease in fuel absorption rate and evaporation performance during use. When the entire core is made of a knitted structure, the number of weft threads is significantly smaller than that of a woven structure, so when used in a cylindrical shape, the stiffness becomes weak, so it is necessary to attach a thin stainless steel plate or other reinforcing plate for reinforcement. In addition, when the entire core is made into a knitted structure, the lines formed between the holes between each warp yarn are connected in the vertical direction, so when the entire core is suddenly lowered during an emergency fire extinguishment, the internal pressure gas in the tank will be able to move through these lines. The problem was that the flames would flare up abnormally on the equipment because they would be ejected through the combustion chamber and onto the combustion tube.
そこで、燃料吸上部芯を織成、編成又は不織布
のものとして、この上部に編成組織の耐熱燃焼部
芯を接続したものも提案されているが、本発明方

を排除しようとするにある。 Therefore, it has been proposed to use a woven, knitted or non-woven fabric as the fuel suction core, and to connect a knitted heat-resistant combustion core to the upper part. This invention relates to an improved invention for processing the tip of the core, and is effective for ignition,
The aim is to improve fire circulation and eliminate various problems caused by tar adhesion.

のである。 That is, the method for manufacturing a wick for a combustion appliance of the present invention involves adding a plurality of heat-resistant reinforcing cores to the front and back surfaces of the reinforcing core, which is arranged in parallel with a space of an appropriate width. Warp yarns made of fiber threads bundled to a constant thickness are arranged in a single row or in multiple rows while being repeatedly folded in a zigzag shape in the vertical direction, and these warp rows on the front and back are knitted together with the reinforcing core. Alternatively, by sewing, and then cutting and dividing the front and back warp groups located in the space between the reinforcing cores so that the front and back warp groups are shifted vertically along the longitudinal direction, the cut edges are provided with fluff at different levels. A heat-resistant combustion part wick is formed with two stages of shaped parts, and the other end of each heat-resistant combustion part wick is integrally attached to the upper edge of the fuel suction part wick so that the fluffy part becomes the tip of the combustion part. It is characterized by being connected.

合2c″したものを段違いに裁断することできる。 In addition, various means can be considered for arranging the warp threads 2b and 2b', and in the second illustrated example, two warp thread rows are arranged by repeatedly folding back so as to intertwine with each other. Although this is not shown, a single warp thread row may be arranged in a folded manner, or three or more warp thread rows may be arbitrarily intermingled and arranged in a repeated folded arrangement. It is something. These arrangement means are carried out by a warp knitting machine called a ratchet knitting machine, etc., to arrange the warp threads 2b, 2
b' (when knitted with a knitting machine, it becomes a weft and is repeatedly folded and arranged left and right) is folded and arranged, and the reinforcing core 2a is wound in advance between the folded rows of the warps 2b and 2b', 2a' are sequentially interposed and fed in, allowing continuous knitting with multiple rows of weft yarns 2c and 2c' (which become warp yarns when knitting with a knitting machine). In the next step, in the space 6, it is also possible to continuously process the front and back warp portions by cutting them at different levels at positions along the vertically biased lines B and C, respectively. Thereafter, it may be cut into a certain length and connected to the fuel suction section 3 to form a flat core or a cylindrical core. As another example, as shown in Fig. 6, warp rows on the front and back sides are individually knitted and sewn into multiple rows 2c'' with reinforcing cores 2a and 2a' interposed in the middle, and then cut into uneven pieces. I can do that.

る。 When the manufacturing method of the present invention is used, as described above, the heat-resistant fibers are arranged in a dispersed manner in the longitudinal direction at the tip of the heat-resistant combustion part core 2, which becomes the crater, without the reinforcing cores 2a, 2a' intervening. Since the fluffy portions 7a, 7b (7c, 7d) are formed in two different levels in the vertical direction, the evaporation and suction of the fuel due to capillary action becomes extremely good, improving the combustion characteristics. In addition, in the case of Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-47325, which has only a single row of this fluffy part, that is, in FIG. A core for a combustion appliance is shown in which threads of heat-resistant fibers are arranged in the vertical direction and then cut and divided in the middle so that the threads on one side are slightly protruded from the upper edge of the other thread along with the core. However, this means that the threads that protrude from the upper edge of the center core and form the fluffy portion are only in one stage. However, when using the method of the present invention, the warp groups on the front and back sides of the reinforcing core that protrude from the upper part of the reinforcing core are formed in two stages with upper and lower steps being different. Since the lower part is thinner than the lower part, there is less heat capacity at the time of initial ignition, and fire rotation occurs quickly, stabilizing all-round combustion, shortening the time until red hot, and achieving uniform combustion. This has the advantage of preventing bad odors, eye irritation, and the generation of oily smoke, and in addition, the excess fuel evaporates and burns smoothly without accumulating in the fluffy part 7a (7c) at the tip of the wick, resulting in long-term combustion. In addition to achieving stable combustion, it is also possible to prevent the formation of tar due to thermal decomposition of excess accumulated fuel, and to suppress the generation of carbon monoxide.
しかも裁断時に段違いに裁断するのみで形成し
得るから材料のロスや裁断くずの散乱等も防止し
得るのみならず、省資源、省エネルギーとなる等
の利点もある。 Moreover, since it can be formed by simply cutting into different levels during cutting, it not only prevents material loss and scattering of cutting waste, but also has the advantage of saving resources and energy.
