SPECIFIC EXECUTION FORMS

[0021] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 12, the present utility model discloses a side burner with a one-piece side burner frame, comprising: A side burner frame 1, wherein the side burner frame 1 is formed by bending a sheet metal component and combining it with a plastic side plate 11 on the left side, wherein a hanging hole is formed on the right side of the side burner frame 1, wherein the side burner can be conveniently mounted on the grill by the interaction of the hanging hole with the grill, while on the underside of the plastic side plate 11 on the left side of the side burner frame 1 an inwardly curved area is formed and a hook 111 is formed in this area to facilitate the hanging of objects; A side burner frame 2, wherein the side burner frame 2 is a sheet metal component formed by bending, wherein the side burner frame 2 is fixedly mounted to the side burner frame 1 using rivets, welding or the like, wherein the side burner frame 2 comprises a base plate 23, first side plates 21 which are formed in one piece on the left and right sides of the base plate 23, and second side plates 22 which are formed in one piece on the front and rear sides of the base plate 23, wherein the side burner frame 2 comprises a heating chamber 24 formed by the base plate 23, the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22, and a cooking area 25 located above the heating chamber 24; A heating burner 3, wherein the heating burner 3 is arranged in the heating chamber 24.

[0022] This results in the following: 1. Food to be cooked can be placed in the cooking area 25, whereby the operation of the heating burner 3 heats the heating chamber 24, so that the heat energy in the heating chamber 24 rises upwards to cook the food in the cooking area 25. 2. Since the side burner frame 2 is formed by the one-piece base plate 23, the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22, the number of components is reduced, requiring only stamping and bending as processing, without the need to manufacture multiple components and then assemble and attach them as in known methods, which significantly simplifies production and thus reduces production costs.

[0023] In this arrangement, a square vertical opening 231 is provided in the base plate 23, wherein the base plate 23 is provided with an upwardly projecting extension 232 at the outer circumference of the vertical opening 231, wherein the extension 232 is furthermore provided in a square-ring shape; wherein the two sides of the first side plates 21 are each connected to different second side plates 22, so that the first side plates 21 and the second side plates 22 combined form an annular circumferential section 4; whereby the heating chamber 24 comprises a collection area 5 formed by the base plate 23, the extension 232 and the circumferential section 4.Therefore, food scraps and fat generated during the cooking process, which fall from the cooking area 25 into the heating area, are collected in the collection area 5, so that, in contrast to known structures, no additional collection box for collecting food scraps and fat needs to be provided, which further simplifies the design.

[0024] Preferably, in this embodiment, the front and rear edges of the first side plates 21 abut the left and right edges of the second side plates 22, so that the sealing effect at the joint between the first side plates 21 and the second side plates 22 is better and prevents food residues and grease from escaping at this point. Furthermore, depending on the sealing performance and actual usage requirements, it can be chosen to carry out additional sealing at the joint between the first side plates 21 and the second side plates 22, for example by welding, in order to reinforce the sealing effect.

[0025] Furthermore, a connecting tab 211 is provided on the front and rear sides of the first side plate 21 by means of bending, wherein the connecting tab 211 and the second side plate 22 are arranged flush, and wherein a connecting element 6 is arranged between the connecting tab 211 and the second side plate 22, which fixes the connecting tab 211 and the second side plate 22, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22, wherein conventional connecting elements 6 include rivets, bolt-nut connections, welding and the like.

[0026] The underside of the upper part of the heating burner 3 is placed on the extension 232 to be supported by the extension 232, making the heating burner 3 more stable, and the elevation of the heating burner 3 by the extension 232 prevents the heating burner 3 from coming into contact with the food residues and grease in the collection area 5, which would lead to combustion with soot formation, while the lower part of the heating burner 3 is passed through the vertical opening 231 to below the side burner frame 2, so that a connection to a gas line can be made.

[0027] In addition, a collection channel 233 is formed in the base plate 23 by punching, so that the grease in the collection area 5 can flow more concentratedly into the collection channel 233 and is easier to clean.

[0028] Furthermore, several air inlet sections 212 projecting towards the heating chamber 24 are formed on the first side plate 21 by punching, wherein a downwardly directed air inlet opening 213, connected to the heating chamber 24, is formed between the underside of the air inlet section 212 and the first side plate 21, thereby connecting the heating chamber 24 and the outer circumference of the side burner frame 2, so that when the airflow in the heating chamber 24 rises to cook the food in the cooking area 25, outside air enters the heating chamber 24 through the air inlet opening 213 to create an airflow.

[0029] An infrared burner is used as the heating burner 3, so that the heating burner 3 can not only heat the air to conduct heat for cooking the food, but can also cook the food by means of infrared radiation. Furthermore, support sections 7 are provided on both sides of the first side plates 21; the cooking area 25 is equipped with a grill rack 8, the grill rack 8 being supported on both sides by the support sections 7 to ensure stability.

[0030] Specifically, the support section 7 comprises a support plate 71 and an extension post 72, wherein the support plate 71 is a structure formed by bending the first side plate 21, and wherein a horizontal first support surface 711 is provided on the upper side of the support plate 71, the extension post 72 being fixedly attached to the support plate 71, and wherein a second support surface 721 is provided on the upper side of the extension post 72, the second support surface 721 being higher than the first support surface 711; wherein first support feet 811 are provided on opposite sides of the grill grate 8; wherein the first support feet 811 are supported on the first support surface 711 to form a Fig. 2 to form the first state shown, and the first support feet 811 are supported on the second support surface 721 to form a Fig. to form the second state shown in 3.

[0031] Therefore, the first support feet 811 can interact with the first support surface 711 to form the first state in which the grill grate 8 is closer to the heating burner 3, resulting in stronger heating, while the first support feet 811 can interact with the second support surface 721 to form the second state in which the grill grate 8 is further away from the heating burner 3, resulting in weaker heating, thus providing more cooking states to better adapt cooking to different situations.

[0032] In this embodiment, the number of extension posts 72 is four, so that the four extension posts 72 are arranged in a matrix-like arrangement, wherein correspondingly the number of first support feet 811 is also four, and the four first support feet 811 and the four extension posts 72 are provided in a corresponding arrangement, so that the four first support feet 811 can be placed simultaneously on the four locations of the second support surfaces 721.

[0033] Furthermore, second support feet 821 are provided on opposite sides of the grill grate 8, and the side edge of the grill grate 8 on which the first support feet 811 are provided and the side edge of the grill grate 8 on which the second support feet 821 are provided are arranged adjacently, the underside of the first support foot 811 being lower than that of the second support foot 821; the second support foot 821 being supported on the first support surface 711 to form a Fig. to form the third state shown in 1.

[0034] Therefore, the grill rack 8 can be made from the in Fig. 2 and Fig. The 3 states shown can be changed by rotating them 90° in the Fig.The second support feet 821 interact with the first support surface 711 to form a third state in which the grill grate 8 is even closer to the heating burner 3 compared to the first state, further increasing the heating, thus providing more cooking states to better adapt cooking to different situations.

[0035] Specifically, the grill grate 8 comprises a plurality of first grill grate bars 81 and second grill grate bars 82, wherein the longitudinal direction of the first grill grate bars 81 and the longitudinal direction of the second grill grate bars 82 are arranged perpendicularly to form a mesh-like grill grate 8 by cross-welding, wherein the first grill grate bars 81 are arranged above the second grill grate bars 82; wherein the two longitudinal ends of two first grill grate bars 81 are bent downwards and form first support feet 811; wherein the two longitudinal ends of each second grill grate bar 82 extend along the longitudinal direction of the second grill grate bar 82 and form second support feet 821.

[0036] This allows food to be cooked on the mesh-like grill rack 8, with the lower airflow and infrared radiation penetrating directly through the spaces of the grill rack 8 and irradiating the food on the grill rack 8, which improves the cooking effect, while both the first support feet 811 and the second support feet 821 are the extension structure of the corresponding first grill rack bars 81 and second grill rack bars 82 respectively, which makes the processing more convenient.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a U-shaped retaining ring 722 is integrally formed on the upper side of the extension post 72, with the U-shaped opening of the retaining ring 722 facing the other support section 7 on each of the support sections 7. This ensures that when the four first support feet 811 are placed on the four positions of the second support surface 721, the retaining ring 722 prevents the first support feet 811 from detaching from the second support surface 721, thus guaranteeing the stability of the grill grate 8. Additionally, the U-shaped retaining ring 722 prevents any limitation on the opposing sides of the two first support feet 811 of the same first grill grate bar 81, thereby allowing a certain tolerance in the distance between the two first support feet 811 of the same first grill grate bar 81.

[0038] Furthermore, a first mounting bore 723 and a rotary positioning section 724 are provided on the underside of the extension post 72, wherein a vertically penetrating second mounting bore 712 is provided on the support plate 71, wherein the underside of the extension post 72 is placed on the top side of the support plate 71, wherein a mounting bolt (not shown in the drawing) is provided between the extension post 72 and the support plate 71 for passing through the first mounting bore 723 and for screwing it to the second mounting bore 712, wherein the rotary positioning section 724 is located at the edge of the support plate 71 and extends downwards to limit the relative rotation between the extension post 72 and the support plate 71.

[0039] Therefore, the extension post 72 is firmly mounted to the support plate 71 by means of the mounting bolt, and the interaction of the rotary positioning section 724 with the edge of the support plate 71 ensures the stability of the assembly in the circumferential direction of the extension post 72, thereby ensuring the precision of the alignment of the safety surround 722.

[0040] Furthermore, a burner cover 9 is hingedly connected at the rear above the side burner frame 1, wherein, when the grill grate 8 is in the third position, the burner cover 9 can be folded forward to cover the upper end of the heating chamber 24, and wherein objects can be placed on the burner cover 9.
