Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] A DUAL BURNER GAS OVEN

[0003] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0004] The invention relates to a dual burner gas oven providing safe heating with safety precautions.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006] In ovens where burners are not ignited simultaneously, there are gas cut-off systems for flame safety. These systems cut off the gas supply to the burner in case of an explosion in the burner for any reason. However, there is no arrangement that cuts off the incoming gas when the burners are switched separately, and one of the switches is left open. There is a need in the literature for solutions that include a safety apparatus that controls the upper and lower burners separately through separate switch lines and cuts off the incoming gas when one of the switches remains open.

[0007] EP2715237 relates to a gas oven, where flame safety is ensured by a gas safety valve, and numerous burners are controlled by only one valve. Additionally, the invention concerns a method for operating a gas oven. In the invention, there is a one-way valve that selectively directs the gas coming from a gas inlet to one of the gas outlets, burners, and a safety valve that controls the gas inlet by blocking the incoming gas when necessary.

[0008] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The object of the invention is to provide a dual burner gas oven that includes a gas shutoff safety device that prevents the lower and upper burners from operating simultaneously, ensuring safe heating.

[0010] To achieve the mentioned objectives, the invention describes a dual burner gas oven comprising a lower burner that allows the flow of gas from a gas inlet; an upper burner that receives gas from the lower burner and opens to a hob port; and a control panel that is electrically connected to the lower and upper burners, controlling their ignition on the hob port through electrical transmission. The dual burner gas oven includes a gas shutoff safety device that controls the combustion of the upper burner with a predetermined electronic structure, placing a switch on the lower burner gas valve to prevent both burners from operating simultaneously by limiting their separate gas valve controls, and preventing the permanent combustion of the upper burner when the lower burner gas valve is open. This ensures that the EN 30-1 standard is met in gas ovens by preventing both burners from operating simultaneously due to the limitation of their separate gas valve controls.

[0011] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a rotatable first button on the control panel that provides ignition control by being electrically connected to the switch, which allows the gas valve of the lower burner to be opened or closed. This way, the first button specifically enables control of the lower burner.

[0012] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a rotatable second button on the control panel that provides ignition control for the upper burner to which it is connected. This way, the second button specifically enables control of the upper burner. Additionally, a low flame feature is provided in the upper burner combustion.

[0013] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a sensor connected to the gas shutoff safety device by a cable at its upper end, which provides flame detection for safety purposes. In case of flame safety issues detected by the sensor, the gas shutoff safety device cuts off the gas supply.

[0014] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a lighter that is electrically connected to the gas safety device by a cable at one side. This ensures that the device controls the gas flow or cuts it off when a signal is received from the grid voltage, depending on whether the first button is open or closed.

[0015] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes the gas valve being connected to the lower end of the gas safety device, ensuring flame safety. This way, the gas coming from the lower burner is directed by the gas valve.

[0016] A preferred embodiment of the invention includes the first button being connected to a switch that is electrically connected to the multiple pins located at the lower ends of the lighter. This way, the lighter control is performed through the first button. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In this detailed description, the subject matter of the invention is explained with references to examples without any limitations and solely to better understand the subject.

[0023] Figure 1 schematically shows the dual burner gas oven according to the invention. The gas oven (10) has numerous hob ports (16) providing hob heating. In the gas oven (10), the flame control, i.e., heating control, of each hob port (16) is performed with the control panel (22).

[0024] Figure 2 schematically shows the dual burner structure related to the dual burner gas oven according to the invention. In Figure 2, there is a lower burner (14) providing gas flow from a gas inlet (12). The lower burner (14) transmits the incoming gas. There is an upper burner (18) where the gas transmitted by the lower burner (14) opens to a hob port (16). The general representation of the connections of a first button (26) and a second button (28) located on the control panel (22) shown in Figure 1 is provided in Figure 2. The connections of the first button (26) and the second button (28) provide ignition control on the hob port (16) through electrical transmission of the lower burner (14) and upper burner (18). The first button (26) is a rotatable button and allows the gas valve (30) of the lower burner (14) to open or close. The second button (28) is also a rotatable button and controls the ignition of the upper burner (18) to which it is connected. Figure 3 schematically shows the buttons controlling the burners in the dual burner gas oven according to the invention.

[0025] Figure 4 schematically shows the electrical line providing flame safety in the dual burner gas oven according to the invention. A gas shutoff safety device (32) is provided that controls the burning of the upper burner (18) with a predetermined electronic structure, with a switch (24) placed on the gas valve (30) of the lower burner (14) to limit the gas valve (30) control of the lower and upper burners (14) (18) separately and prevent them from operating simultaneously. Furthermore, the gas shutoff safety device (32) prevents the permanent burning of the upper burner (18) due to the gas valve (30) in the lower burner (14) remaining open when the first button (26) is in the open position. Here, the first button (26) provides ignition control thanks to its electrical connection to the switch (24). In the invention, there is a sensor (34) connected to the gas shutoff safety device (32) from the upper end by a cable (20). The sensor (34) is a detector for providing flame safety. There is also a lighter (36) electrically connected to the gas safety device (32) from a side end by a cable (20). The lighter (36) is powered by the mains voltage (40) to provide electrical transmission. The gas valve (30) is also connected to the lower end of the gas safety device (32) by a cable (20) for providing flame safety. Additionally, the switch (24) is electrically connected to the multi-pins (38) located at the lower ends of the lighter (36) by a cable. Here, the first button (26) is electrically connected to the switch (24).

[0026] The advantages provided by the dual burner gas oven according to the invention are also listed below:

[0027] • The electrical and electronic structure preventing the upper burner (18) from permanently burning is equipped, meeting the requirements of EN30-1 safety standards.

[0028] • The upper burner (18) also provides a low flame feature.

[0029] • An easy-to-use, safe hob heating gas oven is provided.
