Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically to a burner and a stove containing the burner. Background Technology

[0002] A cooktop typically includes one or more burners (such as two or three), which provide heat to a pot placed on it, enabling cooking methods such as stewing, stir-frying, and deep-frying. The burner is equipped with a gas supply assembly, which primarily supplies gas to the burner. Specifically, after the gas supply assembly delivers gas to the nozzle, the nozzle injects the gas into the injection channel, allowing the gas to mix with air. The ignition needle in the burner then ignites the gas-air mixture in the mixing chamber, producing a flame that provides heat to the pot. The gas supply assembly usually includes control valves, such as proportional valves, to adjust the burner's on / off status and heat level.

[0003] Currently, cooktops typically employ a dual-ring burner structure. For each ring, the mixing chamber is usually uniform, resulting in a relatively limited range of flame patterns. There is still room for improvement in cooktop design to enable burners to produce a wider variety of flame patterns to better suit users' cooking needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems and / or solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems, specifically, how to enable the burner of the stove to produce richer flame patterns.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a burner comprising a burner cap assembly, wherein the outer annular mixing chamber assembly comprises a plurality of outer annular mixing chambers; the burner cap assembly forms an outer annular mixing chamber assembly and an inner annular mixing chamber, the outer annular mixing chamber assembly comprising a plurality of outer annular mixing chambers; wherein the burner cap assembly comprises an outer annular region and an inner annular region, the inner annular mixing chamber being formed in the inner annular region, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of outer annular mixing chambers is arranged circumferentially along the outer annular region.

[0006] This configuration allows for a more diverse range of flame patterns in the burner through the combination of multiple outer ring mixing chambers arranged locally along the circumference.

[0007] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, and distribution of the outer annular mixing chambers in the outer annular region according to actual needs. For example, among multiple outer annular mixing chambers, only a portion may be distributed along a certain circumferential region of the outer annular region, or all of them may be distributed along a certain circumferential region of the outer annular region. For example, the outer annular region includes two circumferential regions arranged radially, and the multiple outer annular mixing chambers are divided into two groups, with each group distributed along one of the two circumferential regions. Taking a certain circumferential region as an example, the multiple outer annular mixing chambers can be distributed evenly or unevenly in all or part of the circumferential region of the outer annular region, and the structural form and relative position of the multiple outer annular mixing chambers can be flexibly selected. For example, a certain circumferential region of the outer annular region includes four evenly divided sections, with two of these sections being outer annular mixing chambers, and the other two being structures such as sealing structures or other structures not used as outer annular mixing chambers.

[0008] In one possible implementation of the burner described above, the burner cap assembly includes a gas distribution structure, through which the outer annular region is divided into at least two circumferentially distributed outer annular mixing chambers.

[0009] This configuration provides a possible way to form the outer ring mixing chamber, such as the gas distribution structure being a sheet-like structure or a block-like structure.

[0010] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned burner, the outer annular mixing chamber includes two or four circumferentially arranged in the outer annular region.

[0011] This configuration provides a possible structural form for the compartmentalized setup.

[0012] Taking two outer annular mixing chambers as an example, the structural form, relative position, and location of each chamber within the outer annular zone can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. Furthermore, in the case of four outer annular mixing chambers, a wider variety of flame patterns can be created for the burner through their combination.

[0013] In one possible implementation of the burner described above, a plurality of the outer annular mixing chambers are symmetrically arranged in the outer annular region.

[0014] This configuration helps to ensure the stability of the burner's flame.

[0015] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned burner, the burner cap assembly includes: a burner cap seat; and a burner cap, which includes: a first burner cap forming the outer annular mixing chamber assembly with the burner cap seat; and a second burner cap forming the inner annular mixing chamber with the burner cap seat; wherein the first burner cap and the second burner cap are provided with flame outlet structures.

[0016] With this configuration, it is possible to generate a wider variety of flame patterns in the burner by combining two outer ring mixing chambers and one inner ring mixing chamber.

[0017] In one possible implementation of the burner described above, the burner cap assembly includes: the flame outlet structure is provided on all or part of the circumferential region of the first burner cap and / or the second burner cap; and / or the flame outlet structures corresponding to different parts of the circumferential region of the first burner cap and / or the second burner cap may be the same or different.

[0018] This configuration allows for the creation of more diverse flame patterns. For example, for one ring of fire, a half-ring is a small-hole direct fire, and a half-ring is a large-hole direct fire or a ring-seam fire; for the outer ring area, a half-ring includes three rings of fire, and a half-ring includes two rings of fire.

[0019] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned burner, the burner includes a burner head assembly, the burner head assembly comprising: a burner head having a nozzle mounting area; a nozzle group disposed on the burner head and including two first nozzles corresponding to the outer annular mixing chamber group and a second nozzle corresponding to the inner annular mixing chamber; and an air intake channel group disposed on the burner head and including two outer annular air intake channels corresponding to the two first nozzles and an inner annular air intake channel corresponding to the second nozzle; wherein at least a portion of the first nozzles and the second nozzles are centrally disposed.

[0020] This design allows for an increase in the compactness of the burner assembly.

[0021] In one possible implementation of the burner described above, one of the two first nozzles is arranged in conjunction with the second nozzle.

[0022] In one possible implementation of the burner described above, the axes of the first nozzle and the second nozzle, which are centrally located, are parallel; and / or the gas injection directions of the two first nozzles are opposite; and / or the axes of the two first nozzles are coplanar; and / or the outer annular air intake channels of the two first nozzles are perpendicular to each other.

[0023] This configuration provides a possible arrangement of the two first nozzles in the burner head.

[0024] It should be noted that since the gas ejected from the nozzle actually has multiple (approximate) directions, the injection direction can be understood as comparing two directions when they are combined into a general direction. For example, the gas injection direction corresponding to the axis position is used to describe the gas injection direction of the two first nozzles (with directional axes). For example, the axes of the two first nozzles may lie in the same plane or different planes.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the burner assembly includes a burner seat, on which are provided: two first ejector channels through which gas can reach a corresponding outer ring mixing chamber via a first nozzle and a corresponding first ejector channel; and a second ejector channel through which gas can reach an inner ring mixing chamber via a second nozzle and a second ejector channel; wherein the communication positions of the two first ejector channels and the corresponding outer ring mixing chamber are spaced apart circumferentially along the outer ring region.

[0026] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a stove that includes the burner described in any of the preceding claims.

[0027] It is understood that this stove has all the technical effects of the burner described in any of the foregoing items, and will not be repeated here. For example, the stove includes an outer ring gas path assembly and an inner ring gas path assembly. The outer ring gas path assembly includes multiple outer ring gas paths corresponding to multiple outer ring mixing chambers. Gas can reach the corresponding outer ring mixing chamber through the outer ring gas path, and gas can reach the inner ring mixing chamber through the inner ring gas path.

[0056] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with an outer ring mixing chamber assembly comprising two symmetrically arranged outer ring mixing chambers, it is obvious that those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the number, structure, and relative positions of the outer ring mixing chambers, such as one of the two outer ring mixing chambers being larger than a semicircular ring and the other smaller, or the outer ring mixing chambers comprising four, etc.

[0057] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0059] Furthermore, to better illustrate this utility model, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some examples, the principles of burners, which are well-known to those skilled in the art, are not described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this utility model.

[0060] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model is described by at least a portion thereof.

[0061] Main reference Figures 1 to 6In one possible implementation, the stove mainly includes a burner 100 and a gas circuit assembly 200. Typically, one or more burners are provided on the stove surface. In the case of multiple burners, the operating parameters such as the on / off state and firepower of each burner can be controlled independently, allowing multiple burners to cook the same / different ingredients of the same / different types simultaneously. The burner 100 includes a burner cap assembly 1 and a burner head assembly 2. The gas path assembly 200 includes an outer ring gas path 201 and an inner ring gas path 202. The burner cap assembly 1 is disposed on the burner head assembly 2, and the gas path assembly 200 can be connected to the burner head assembly 2. Based on this, after the gas reaches the burner head assembly 2 through the outer / inner ring gas path of the gas path assembly 200, it reaches the mixing chamber (including an outer ring mixing chamber and an inner ring mixing chamber 152) through the ejector channels (including a first ejector channel 141 and a second ejector channel 142) of the burner cap assembly 1. The burner 100 is provided with an ignition needle 24 (ignition function) and a thermocouple 25 (flameout protection function). By controlling the ignition of the ignition needle 24, the gas mixture of gas and air in the mixing chamber can be burned. The burner cap assembly 1 has flame outlet structures 13, such as flame outlet holes and flame outlet slits, at a position corresponding to the mixing chamber. The flame generated in the mixing chamber is released through the flame outlet structures 13, thus providing the cookware placed on the burner with the heat required for cooking. The gas circuit assembly 200 typically includes a main on / off valve, an on / off valve, and a proportional valve (or motor valve). The main on / off valve is usually located on the main gas line of the gas circuit assembly and is mainly used to control the gas flow of the entire gas circuit. The on / off valve is mainly used to control the gas flow of a specific gas line. The proportional valve is mainly used to adjust the gas flow of the corresponding gas line, thereby adjusting the burner's flame intensity. The motor valve has the same function as the proportional valve, but it uses a motor to control the gas flow of the corresponding gas line, thereby adjusting the burner's flame intensity. The following description uses a burner of a stove as an example, combining its structure and the gas circuit assembly configured thereon to illustrate this invention.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the burner assembly 1 includes a burner seat 11 and a burner, wherein the burner seat includes an outer ring region 101 and an inner ring region 102 located radially inside the outer ring region, and the burner includes a first burner 121 (which may be referred to as an outer ring burner) and a second burner 122 (which may be referred to as an inner ring burner), the first burner 121 and the second burner 122 being respectively disposed at positions corresponding to the outer ring region and the inner ring region of the burner assembly. Based on this, the outer ring burner and the first burner seat are engaged at the position corresponding to the outer ring region to form an outer ring mixing chamber assembly including two outer ring mixing chambers, and the inner ring burner and the second burner seat are engaged at the position corresponding to the inner ring region to form an inner ring mixing chamber 152.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the gas path assembly 200 includes an outer ring gas path group and an inner ring gas path 202. The outer ring gas path group includes two outer ring gas paths 201 capable of supplying gas to the mixing chamber corresponding to the outer ring region, and the inner ring gas path capable of supplying gas to the mixing chamber corresponding to the inner ring region. In this example, the gas supply direction of the outer ring gas path 201 and the inner ring gas path 202 is shown only in dashed lines.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the mixing chamber includes an outer ring mixing chamber group and an inner ring mixing chamber 152. The two outer ring mixing chambers of the outer ring mixing chamber group are denoted as outer ring mixing chamber 151(a) and outer ring mixing chamber 151(b), respectively. The aforementioned two outer ring gas paths can supply fuel gas to the two outer ring mixing chambers in a one-to-one, relatively independent manner. The inner ring gas path can supply fuel gas to the inner ring mixing chamber. The outer ring region 101 is divided into two outer ring mixing chambers along its circumference by a pair of gas distribution structures 1011, such as outer ring mixing chamber 151(a) and outer ring mixing chamber 151(b), respectively. In this example, the gas distribution structure is approximately a block structure, and the outer ring mixing chambers 151(a) and 151(b) are approximately symmetrical. If the circumferential dimensions of the gas distribution structure are ignored, the outer annular mixing chamber 151(a) and the outer annular mixing chamber 151(b) are both approximately semi-annular mixing chambers.

[0065] In one possible implementation, flame outlet structures 16, such as flame outlet holes and flame outlet slits, can be provided at the top, near the top, and sides of the inner / outer ring burner cap to enable the burner to form flame patterns such as direct flame and ring-slit flame. For example, in this example, the inner ring burner cap has flame outlet structures on the radially outer side and radially inner side near the top, while the outer ring burner cap has flame outlet structures at the top and radially inner side near the top. Obviously, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the structural form, specifications (such as slit width, aperture, etc.), distribution position / density, etc., of the flame outlet structures according to actual needs. For example, the shape / aperture and specifications of different flame outlet holes can be the same or different, the flame outlet structures in different parts along the circumference can be the same or different, and the flame outlet structures corresponding to different parts of the outer / inner ring area can be the same or different. For example, in a certain ring fire of the outer ring area, part is a ring-seam fire and the other part is a direct fire; in a certain ring fire of the outer ring area, only a flame outlet structure is provided in a local area in the circumferential direction (such as an arc-shaped area); a certain part of the outer ring area includes three rings (arcs) of fire distributed radially, and another part of the outer ring area (such as a part near the user) includes two rings (arcs) of fire.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the burner assembly 2 includes a burner 21 and a nozzle group disposed on the burner 21. In this embodiment, the nozzle group includes two first nozzles 221 (which may be referred to as the first nozzle group) corresponding to the two outer ring gas paths in the outer ring gas path group, and a second nozzle 222 corresponding to the inner ring gas path. The burner 21 is provided with an air intake channel group, which includes an outer ring air intake channel group and an inner ring air intake channel 232. The outer ring air intake channel group includes two outer ring air intake channels 231 corresponding to the two outer ring gas paths in the outer ring gas path group. Based on this, the gas can reach the corresponding first nozzle 221 via the outer ring gas path and the outer ring air intake channel in the outer ring gas path group, and the gas can reach the second nozzle 222 via the inner ring gas path and the inner ring air intake channel.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the burner head 21 is provided with a nozzle mounting area 211, and at least a portion of the first nozzle 221 and the second nozzle 222 are concentrated in the nozzle mounting area of ​​the burner head. In this example, the nozzle mounting area is generally a plane, with one of the two first nozzles concentrated with the second nozzle. Exemplarily, the main body of the nozzle mounting area is generally circular, with two sub-regions at approximately both ends of a diameter. One of the two sub-regions has two nozzles (one first nozzle and one second nozzle), and the other has one first nozzle. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the nozzle mounting area and the distribution of nozzles thereon according to actual needs; for example, the nozzle mounting area can be a conical surface sloping downwards from the center to the outer edge.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the axes of the three nozzles are substantially parallel and coplanar, wherein the gas injection directions of the centrally located first nozzle 221 and second nozzle 222 are substantially the same and substantially opposite to the gas injection direction of the other first nozzle 221. The outer annular air intake passages corresponding to the centrally located first nozzles 221 and 222 are substantially parallel to the inner annular air intake passages, while the outer annular air intake passage corresponding to the other first nozzle 221 is substantially perpendicular to it. Corresponding to the separate placement of the two first nozzles, the air intake positions (air intake positions of the two first ejector channels) of the two first nozzles in the outer annular region are spaced apart.

[0069] Obviously, the specific distribution of the nozzles / intake channels on the burner head described above is only an exemplary description. Those skilled in the art can determine the setting position / direction of the nozzles / intake channels on the burner head, the relative position between different nozzles / intake channels, etc., according to actual needs. For example, the gas injection direction of the first and second nozzles set in a concentrated manner has an included angle, only the axes of the two first nozzles are coplanar, etc., and the direction of the intake channel is adjusted according to the outer ring / inner ring gas path, etc.

[0070] It can be seen that, in the preferred embodiment of the utility model, based on the stove having two outer ring gas passages and one inner ring gas passage, by making corresponding arrangements to the burner cap assembly and burner head assembly, it is expected that the burner can produce a richer variety of flame states while ensuring flame quality. For example, by differentially controlling multiple outer ring mixing chambers, various flame patterns such as low flame, high-efficiency high flame, multi-ring uniform flame, and outer ring flame can be formed. For example, by differentially setting the flame outlet structure of the two outer ring mixing chambers, the burner can produce a richer variety of flame patterns corresponding to the outer ring area.

[0071] The technical solution of this utility model has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
