The utility model relates to a novel perforated checker brick, which can effectively resolve problems of poor heat-exchange capacity of heat retainers, nonuniform airflow distribution and accumulation of gas dust in checker holes. The technical scheme includes that the novel perforated checker brick comprises an equilaterally polygonal brick body which is vertically distributed with vertical through holes, each vertical through hole is composed of an isometric segment and a reducing segment, the outer port of the reducing segment and an oblique large aperture connected with the brick body form a flared passage, and the outer bottom surface of the isometric segment is provided with a parallel and horizontal passage which is communicated with the outer port of the isometric segment. Dust blocking can be eliminated because platforms formed by dislocation of checker holes are removed after the novel perforated checker bricks are stacked, flow field characteristics of continuous shrinking and diffusion in check holes strengthen heat transmission process, and then airflow distribution is enabled to be uniform by utilizing the horizontal passage and characteristics of airflow in holes. The utility model not only can effectively resolve the problems of poor heat-exchange capacity of heat retainers, non-uniform airflow distribution in a regenerating chamber and the like, but also has fine economic and social benefits in application.
