Abstract

A quick-disconnect gas pipeline comprises a quick-disconnect device (QDD) which comprises a QDD male end and a QDD female end, and a gas hose. The QDD male end is connected to the gas pipeline inside the heating system and the QDD female end is connected to the gas hose outside the heating system. When the heating system is not used, it is easy to disconnect the QDD to prevent people from tripping over the long gas pipeline.

Claims

1. A quick-disconnect gas pipeline for a heating system comprising:

a quick disconnect device (“

QDD”

) which comprises a QDD male end and a QDD female end, and a gas hose, wherein

said QDD male end is connected to the gas pipeline inside the heating system and the QDD female end is connected to the gas hose outside the heating system.

2. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 1, wherein said heating system comprises a gas heating stove or gas heating table which comprises a table top, a plurality of legs, and a heating part, wherein one leg of said plurality of legs has a hole through which said gas hose connects to said gas pipeline.

3. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 1, wherein said heating system comprises a combustion chamber which comprises a base, a table top, and a heating part, said base comprises four solid plates, said four solid plates are connected to a support at each corner, and said QDD male end of said quick-disconnect gas pipeline is fixed onto one solid plate of said four solid plates.

4. The quick-disconnect pipeline according to claim 2, wherein when said heating system is not used, said gas hose outside said heating system is configured to be disconnected at said QDD.

5. The quick-disconnect pipeline according to claim 2, wherein said gas hose outside said heating system is configured to be connected at said QDD so that said heating system is configured to be connected to an external gas tank.

6. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 5, wherein the connection of said QDD is realized by pulling the safety device outside said QDD female end to put said QDD female end on said QDD male end and then releasing said safety device.

7. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 4, wherein the disconnection of said QDD is realized by pulling the safety device outside said QDD female end to remove said QDD female end from said QDD male end and then releasing said safety device.

8. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 2, wherein said heating part comprises a brazier, a burner, a gas valve assembly, an ignition component, and a control knob.

9. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 8, wherein said gas valve assembly comprises a gas valve, a nozzle, a thermocouple, and a regulator and is configured to regulate the gas flow.

10. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 8, wherein said ignition component comprises an ignitor and an ignition pin, wherein said ignition pin is connected to said ignitor with a lead and approaches said burner.

11. The quick-disconnect pipeline according to claim 3, wherein when said heating system is not used, said gas hose outside said heating system is configured to be disconnected at said QDD.

12. The quick-disconnect pipeline according to claim 3, wherein said gas hose outside said heating system is configured to be connected at said QDD so that said heating system is configured to be connected to an external gas tank.

13. The quick-disconnect gas pipeline according to claim 3, wherein said heating part comprises a brazier, a burner, a gas valve assembly, an ignition component, and a control knob.
