The second protruding portion 43 of the cover body 40 comes into contact with the upper surface portion 34. The surface (upper surface) of the upper surface portion 34 is an annular surface along a plane perpendicular to the central axis G. A plurality of burner hole grooves 110 are provided in the lower surface portion 35 of the flange portion 32. In a state in which the burner cap 20 is attached to the burner body 6A as shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface portion 35 of the flange portion 32 is disposed opposite the opposing surface 66A of the burner body 6A. In the attached state of FIG. 3, it is desirable that the lower surface portion 35 of the flange portion 32 is placed so as to come into contact with the opposing surface 66A.

[0037] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the cover body 40 is configured as a circular annular plate. The cover body 40 is made of metal (e.g., stainless steel). As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 5, the cover body 40 has a main body portion 41, a first protruding portion 42, and a second protruding portion 43. In the cover body 40, the main body portion 41, the first protruding portion 42, and the second protruding portion 43 are integrally formed from the same material.

[0038] As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the main body 41 is configured as a circular annular plate that covers the flange 32 of the burner cap main body 30 from above. As shown in Fig. 3, the first protrusion 42 is configured to be bent from the main body 41 by, for example, metal processing (bending, etc.). The second protrusion 43 is configured to be bent from the main body 41 by, for example, metal processing (bending, etc.). The cover body 40 is surface-treated (for example, barrel polishing, etc.) to have a smooth and glossy configuration. In the center of the cover body 40, a through hole 44 having a diameter approximately the same as that of the through hole 36 of the burner cap main body 30 is provided so as to penetrate the main body 41 in the thickness direction. The through hole 44 is arranged in communication with the through hole 36 so as to continue to the upper part of the internal space of the above-mentioned through hole 36.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the first protrusion 42 protrudes downward from the circular inner edge of the main body 41. The protruding length of the first protrusion 42 is greater than the protruding length of the second protrusion 43. The first protrusion 42 is cylindrical. The first protrusion 42 is inserted into the tubular portion 31. The first protrusion 42 is fixed to the tubular portion 31 while contacting the inner periphery 39 of the tubular portion 31. Specifically, a recess 50 is provided in the inner periphery 39 of the tubular portion 31, and a hook portion 47 forming a part of the first protrusion 42 is inserted into the recess 50 and hooked on the recess 50, so that the first protrusion 42 does not come off from the tubular portion 31. With this configuration, the cover body 40 is fixed to the burner cap main body 30.

[0040] 5. Structure around the protruding part As shown in Fig. 5, the burner body 6A includes an upper surface portion 66 having an annular opposing surface 66A opposing the flange portion 32, and a recessed portion 66Z recessed into the upper surface portion 66. The opposing surface 66A is a support surface on which the flange portion 32 is placed. The lower surface portion 35 of the flange portion 32 comes into contact with the opposing surface 66A. The lower surface portion 35 constitutes the lower surface of the flange portion 32. The opposing surface 66A is a mortar-shaped tapered surface, and has an upwardly expanding shape with a diameter (diameter centered on the central axis G) increasing toward the upper position.

[0041] The recessed portion 66Z is formed on the upper surface portion 66 and on the inner peripheral wall portion 62. The recessed portion 66Z is configured as a recess recessed downward on the upper surface portion 66, and is configured as a groove portion extending in the vertical direction on the inner peripheral wall portion 62. The recessed portion 66Z is a recessed portion and a groove portion into which the protruding portion 160 fits, and when the protruding portion 160 fits, the recessed portion 66Z restricts the protruding portion 160 from rotating in the circumferential direction around the central axis line G. In the mounting state in which the protruding portion 160 fits into the recessed portion 66Z (the state in which the burner cap 20 is mounted on the burner body 6A), the protruding portion 160 is allowed to move upward while maintaining a posture along the vertical direction, and is restricted (prohibited) from rotating in the circumferential direction or moving downward. Therefore, the recessed portion 66Z restricts the burner cap 20 from rotating around the central axis line G when the burner cap 20 is mounted on the burner body 6A. The recess of the recessed portion 66Z spans between the upper surface portion 66 and the inner circumferential wall portion 62. The recessed portion 66Z is recessed downward from the opposing surface 66A, and is recessed in the inner circumferential wall portion 62 toward the outside in the radial direction.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the burner cap 20 includes a plurality of burner hole grooves 110 and a protruding portion 160. The plurality of burner hole grooves 110 are configured as grooves that allow gas to flow from the inside (the cylindrical portion 31 side) to the outside (the outer peripheral portion 33 side) on the lower surface side of the flange portion 32. The plurality of burner hole grooves 110 are provided on the lower surface portion 35 of the flange portion 32, and are configured as grooves that extend in a radial direction centered on the central axis G or grooves that extend in a direction slightly inclined with respect to the radial direction. Each burner hole groove 110 is a groove that allows gas to flow from the central axis G side to the outer peripheral portion 33 side, and has two wall portions that face each other in the circumferential direction and an upper wall portion, and is a groove that is open on the lower side. Each burner hole groove 110 communicates the space below the annular portion 35A and the space outside the outer peripheral portion 33, and allows gas to flow between these spaces. Each burner hole groove 110 constitutes a part of each burner hole 70. The underside portion 35 is disposed so as to close the lower side of each burner hole groove 110, thereby forming each burner hole 70. Each burner hole 70 is a flow path that allows gas to flow from the central axis G side to the outer circumferential portion 33 side. Each burner hole 70 connects the space below the annular portion 35A to the space outside the outer circumferential portion 33, and is a flow path that allows gas to flow between these spaces. Gas present in the space below the annular portion 35A (the space inside the mixture chamber 6Z) is designed to pass through each burner hole 70 and be released from the outer circumferential portion 33.

[0043] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the underside 35 of the flange 32 has an annular portion 35A that is connected to the tubular portion 31 and protrudes from the tubular portion 31, and a groove portion 35B that is annularly provided around the annular portion 35A. The annular portion 35A is an annular non-forming region where no burner hole grooves 110 are formed. The groove portion 35B is provided between the annular portion 35A and the outer circumferential portion 33 on the underside 35, and is configured with a number of protrusions that protrude downward. The multiple burner hole grooves 110 are lined up in a large number in the circumferential direction in a region away from the tubular portion 31. Each burner hole groove 110 is open on the lower side, and the open lower side is blocked by the opposing surface 66A. As shown in Figures 6, 7 and 10, the multiple flame hole grooves 110 include a plurality of main flame hole grooves 120 which, together with the opposing surface 66A, form the main flame hole 71, a plurality of fire transfer flame hole grooves 130 which, together with the opposing surface 66A, form the fire transfer flame hole 72, and a plurality of flame holding hole grooves 128 which, together with the opposing surface 66A, form the flame holding hole 73 (see also Figures 2 to 5, 8, etc.).

[0044] Of the flame hole grooves 110, the main flame hole groove 120 is a groove that forms a path that guides the gas supplied from the burner body 6A from the center side to the outside of the flange portion 32. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the main flame hole groove 120 forms a main flame hole 71 between itself and the opposing surface 66A of the burner body 6A. Specifically, each main flame hole 71 is formed by each main flame hole groove 120 and the upper surface portion 66. The inner wall surface of each main flame hole 71 is formed by the inner wall surface of each main flame hole groove 120 and the opposing surface 66A.

[0045] Of the flame hole grooves 110, the flame stabilizing hole grooves 128 are grooves that form a path that guides the gas supplied from the burner body 6A from the center side to the outside of the flange portion 32. The vertical size (depth) of the flame stabilizing hole grooves 128 is smaller than the vertical size (depth) of the main flame hole grooves 120. As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the flame stabilizing hole grooves 128 form flame stabilizing holes 73 between themselves and the opposing surface 66A of the burner body 6A. Specifically, each flame stabilizing hole 73 is formed by each flame stabilizing hole groove 128 and the upper surface portion 66. The inner wall surface of each flame stabilizing hole 73 is formed by the inner wall surface of each flame stabilizing hole groove 128 and the opposing surface 66A.

[0046] Among the flame hole grooves 110, the fire transfer flame hole groove 130 is provided between the two main flame hole grooves 120, and is a groove that constitutes the fire transfer flame hole 72 between the opposing surface 66A. Specifically, each fire transfer flame hole 72 is constituted by each fire transfer flame hole groove 130 and the upper surface portion 66. The inner wall surface of each fire transfer flame hole 72 is constituted by the inner wall surface of each fire transfer flame hole groove 130 and the opposing surface 66A. The fire transfer flame hole 72 is a flame hole that releases gas to generate a flame that transfers a flame generated near one main flame hole 71 to the other main flame hole 71 between two main flame holes 71 arranged on both sides (both circumferential sides) of the fire transfer flame hole groove 130. The size of the upper and lower grooves (groove depth) of the fire transfer flame hole groove 130 is smaller than the size of the upper and lower grooves (groove depth) of the main flame hole groove 120. Specifically, regardless of which fire-transfer flame hole groove 130 is focused on, the maximum depth of the fire-transfer flame hole groove 130 is smaller than the maximum depth of the main flame hole groove 120 closest to it on one circumferential side of it, and is smaller than the maximum depth of the main flame hole groove 120 closest to it on the other circumferential side of it.

[0047] As shown in Figs. 6, 8 and 9, the protruding portion 160 is a protrusion provided on the lower surface portion 35 so as to protrude downward. The downward protrusion of the protruding portion 160 is greater than the downward protrusion of each wall portion constituting the plurality of burner hole grooves 110. The lower end position of the protruding portion 160 is lower than the lowermost end position of the plurality of burner hole grooves 110. The protruding portion 160 is disposed by entering into the recessed portion 66Z when the burner cap 20 is attached to the burner body 6A. When the burner cap 20 is attached to the burner body 6A, the tube portion 31 is inserted into the support tube 76, so that the movement of the tube portion 31 in the radial direction (the radial direction centered on the central axis G) is restricted. In other words, when the burner cap 20 is attached to the burner body 6A, the burner cap 20 is in a movement restricted state in which it does not move in the horizontal direction (the planar direction perpendicular to the central axis G). Furthermore, since the protrusion 160 fits into the recessed portion 66Z, rotation of the cylindrical portion 31 around the central axis G within the support cylinder 76 is restricted, and the burner cap 20 is positioned so as not to rotate around the central axis G.

[0048] 10 and 11, the first fire transfer flame hole groove 131, the second fire transfer flame hole groove 132, and the inner fire transfer flame hole groove 133 are part of the multiple fire transfer flame hole grooves 130. The first fire transfer flame hole groove 131, the second fire transfer flame hole groove 132, and the inner fire transfer flame hole groove 133 form a fire transfer flame hole groove group on the radially outer side of the protruding portion 160, and this fire transfer flame hole groove group includes a first wall 141 arranged on one side of the protruding portion 160 in the circumferential direction of the flange portion 32, a second wall 142 arranged on the other side of the protruding portion 160 in the circumferential direction, and multiple partition walls 144 arranged between the first wall 141 and the second wall 142 in the circumferential direction. The first flame-transfer flame hole groove 131, the second flame-transfer flame hole groove 132, and the inner flame-transfer flame hole groove 133 are provided between the first main flame hole groove 120X and the second main flame hole groove 120Y in the circumferential direction of the flange portion 32, and are flame holes that emit gas so as to generate a flame that transfers a flame generated in one of them to the other. The circumferential direction of the flange portion 32 is a direction along the surface (outer peripheral surface) of the outer peripheral portion 33 in the flange portion 32. For example, when a virtual plane is defined that passes through the upper end positions (the uppermost positions of the multiple main flame hole grooves 120) of the multiple main flame hole grooves 120 present in the flange portion 32 and is perpendicular to the central axis G, and when a virtual circle (the largest virtual circle when multiple virtual circles can be set) is defined on the virtual plane with the central axis G as its center and passing through the position of the surface (outer peripheral surface) of the outer peripheral portion 33, the direction of this virtual circle (circumferential direction) may be the circumferential direction of the flange portion 32.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the partition walls 144 include one partition wall 144A and another partition wall 144B. The first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131 is formed by using the one partition wall 144A and the first wall 141 as components. The first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131 is a groove in which the one partition wall 144A and the first wall 141 are arranged apart from each other and have an upper wall portion (upper wall in the groove) connecting the one partition wall 144A and the first wall 141, and is formed as a flow path through which gas flows toward the outlet 131A between the one partition wall 144A and the first wall 141. The outlet 131A is an exhaust port including a radially outer end of the first wall 141 and a radially outer end of the one partition wall 144A. The second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132 is formed by using the other partition wall 144B and the second wall 142 as components. The second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132 is a groove in which the other partition wall 144B and the second wall 142 are arranged apart from each other and have an upper wall portion (upper wall in the groove) connecting the other partition wall 144B and the second wall 142, and is configured as a flow path through which gas flows toward the outlet 132A between the other partition wall 144B and the second wall 142. The outlet 132A is an exhaust port configured including the radially outer end of the second wall 142 and the radially outer end of the other partition wall 144B. The inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133 is configured with the one partition wall 144A and the other partition wall 144B as components. The inner flame transfer flame hole groove 133 is a groove in which one partition wall 144A and another partition wall 144B are arranged apart from each other and have an upper wall portion (upper wall in the groove) connecting the one partition wall 144A and the other partition wall 144B, and is configured as a flow path through which gas flows toward the outlet 133A. The outlet 133A is an exhaust port configured to include a radially outer end of the one partition wall 144A and a radially outer end of the other partition wall 144B.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the first wall 141 constituting a part of the first flame-transfer flame hole groove 131 includes a first inner wall 141A, which is an inner wall on the protruding portion 160 side, and a third inner wall 141C, which is provided on the outer peripheral portion 33 side from the first inner wall 141A. The first inner wall 141A and the third inner wall 141C are configured so that the end of the first inner wall 141A constitutes the end of the third inner wall 141C. The first inner wall 141A and the third inner wall 141C are arranged on the back side (opposite sides in the circumferential direction) of the inner wall on one side of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120X, and the first wall 141 and the inner wall on one side of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120X are provided on a common protrusion (protrusion protruding downward). This common protrusion is configured to protrude downward from the upper wall of the groove of the first flame-transfer flame hole groove 131 and the upper wall of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120X. At least a part of the first inner wall 141A faces the base end of the protruding portion 160 in the circumferential direction. The first gas flow passage 151 is configured with the first inner wall 141A, the base end of the protruding portion 160 (specifically, the part of the base end on the first inner wall 141A side), and an upper wall part (upper part of the inner wall in the groove) arranged between the base end and the first inner wall 141A, and is a flow passage that flows gas radially outward between the first inner wall 141A and the base end of the protruding portion 160. The "base end of the protruding portion 160" that constitutes a part of the first gas flow passage 151 is a root part of the protruding portion 160, a part that is provided away from the first inner wall 141A and arranged facing the first inner wall 141A, and is an inner wall of the groove that flows gas between the first inner wall 141A and the base end. The first gas flow passage 151 is a gas flow passage that leads to the first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133. That is, the gas that flows through the first gas flow passage 151 branches into the first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133. The first inner wall 141A is inclined so as to approach the second wall 142 as it approaches the outer circumferential portion 33. In the example of FIG. 11, the direction of the first inner wall 141A is a direction that approaches the imaginary plane L as it becomes radially outward. The imaginary plane L is a plane that passes through the central axis G and the center of the protruding portion 160. The first gas flow passage 151 is a direction that flows toward the one partition wall 144A side. The third inner wall 141C is inclined so as to move away from the second wall 142 as it approaches the outer circumferential portion 33.In the first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131, the region where the third inner wall 141C and one partition wall 144A face each other in the circumferential direction has a width (circumferential groove width) that increases toward the outer circumferential portion 33.

[0051] The second wall 142 constituting a part of the second flame-transfer flame hole groove 132 includes a second inner wall 142B, which is an inner wall on the protruding portion 160 side, and a fourth inner wall 142D provided on the outer peripheral portion 33 side from the second inner wall 142B. The second inner wall 142B and the fourth inner wall 142D are configured so that the end of the second inner wall 142B constitutes the end of the fourth inner wall 142D. The second inner wall 142B and the fourth inner wall 142D are arranged on the back side (opposite sides in the circumferential direction) of the inner wall on one side of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120Y, and the second wall 142 and the inner wall on one side of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120Y are provided on a common protrusion (protrusion protruding downward). This common protrusion is configured to protrude downward from the upper wall of the groove of the second flame-transfer flame hole groove 132 and the upper wall of the groove of the main flame hole groove 120Y. At least a part of the second inner wall 142B faces the base end of the protruding portion 160 in the circumferential direction. The second gas flow passage 152 is configured with the second inner wall 142B, the base end of the protruding portion 160 (specifically, the part of the base end on the second inner wall 142B side), and an upper wall part (upper part of the inner wall in the groove) arranged between the base end and the second inner wall 142B, and is a flow passage that flows gas radially outward between the second inner wall 142B and the base end of the protruding portion 160. The "base end of the protruding portion 160" that constitutes a part of the second gas flow passage 152 is a root part of the protruding portion 160, is a part that is provided away from the second inner wall 142B and is arranged facing the second inner wall 142B, and is an inner wall of the groove that flows gas between the second inner wall 142B and the base end of the protruding portion 160. The second gas flow passage 152 is a gas flow passage that leads to the second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133. That is, the gas that flows through the second gas flow passage 152 branches into the second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133. The second inner wall 142B is inclined so as to approach the first wall 141 as it approaches the outer periphery 33. In the example of FIG. 11, the second inner wall 142B is oriented so as to approach the imaginary plane L as it moves radially outward. The second gas flow passage 152 flows toward the other partition wall 144B. The fourth inner wall 142D is inclined so as to move away from the first wall 141 as it approaches the outer periphery 33. In the second flame transfer hole groove 132, the region where the fourth inner wall 142D and the other partition wall 144B face each other in the circumferential direction has a width (circumferential groove width) that increases as it approaches the outer circumferential portion 33.

[0052] The distance between the first inner wall 141A and the second inner wall 142B (the distance in the direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane L) becomes narrower toward the outer circumferential portion 33. The distance between the third inner wall 141C and the fourth inner wall 142D (the distance in the direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane L) becomes wider toward the outer circumferential portion 33.

[0053] On the outer periphery 33 of the flange portion 32, respective outlets 131A, 132A, 133A of a first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131, a second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132, and an inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133 are provided.

[0054] 9 to 11, a step portion 170 is provided between the protruding portion 160 and the multiple partition walls 144. As shown in Fig. 10 and 11, the step portion 170 and the multiple partition walls 144 form a third gas flow passage 153 that guides the gas flowing through the first gas flow passage 151 and the second gas flow passage 152 to the inner flame transfer hole groove 133. The step portion 170 covers the space formed between the inner wall portion of the recessed portion 66Z and the protruding portion 160 from above.

[0055] 6.Examples of Effects In the gas stove 1, a first gas flow passage 151 including a first inner wall 141A on the protruding portion 160 side of the first wall 141 serves as a gas flow passage leading to the first fire-transfer flame hole groove 131 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133, and a second gas flow passage 152 including a second inner wall 142B on the protruding portion 160 side of the second wall 142 serves as a gas flow passage leading to the second fire-transfer flame hole groove 132 and the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133. The first inner wall 141A is inclined so as to approach the second wall 142 as it approaches the outer periphery 33 of the flange portion 32, and the second inner wall 142B is inclined so as to approach the first wall 141 as it approaches the outer periphery 33 of the flange portion 32. Due to this configuration, in the vicinity of the protruding portion 160, the gas flowing in from the first inner wall 141A side can be guided to the radially outer side of the protruding portion 160 so as to move as close as possible to the second wall 142, and the gas flowing in from the second inner wall 142B side can be guided to the radially outer side of the protruding portion 160 so as to move as close as possible to the first wall 141. Therefore, in the gas stove 1 in which the protruding portion 160 of the burner cap 20 is positioned by fitting it into the recessed portion 66Z of the burner body 6A, it is easy to make the gas flow around the back side of the protruding portion 160 (the radially outer side opposite to the central axis), and the ignition ability in the vicinity of the flame groove on the radially outer side of the protruding portion 160 can be improved.

[0056] In the gas stove 1, the gas flowing in from the first inner wall 141A side in the vicinity of the protruding portion 160 is guided by the first inner wall 141A to the radial outside of the protruding portion 160, and after passing through the first inner wall 141A, the flow of the gas can be spread to the side away from the second wall 142. Similarly, the gas flowing in from the second inner wall 142B side in the vicinity of the protruding portion 160 is guided by the second inner wall 142B to the radial outside of the protruding portion 160, and after passing through the second inner wall 142B, the flow of the gas can be spread to the side away from the first wall 141. Therefore, the gas passing in the vicinity of the first inner wall 141A and the vicinity of the second inner wall 142B can be made to flow with a certain degree of spread, rather than being concentrated only on the back side (radial outside) of the protruding portion 160, so that the ignition ability can be improved more uniformly over a wider range. It can be made to flow not only to the 133A but also to the fire transfer flame holes on both sides.

[0057] In the gas stove 1, the gas flowing through the first gas flow passage 151 and the second gas flow passage 152 is easily guided to the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133 by the third gas flow passage 153, thereby further improving the ignition ability near the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133.

[0058] The gas stove 1 can prevent gas flowing near the protrusion 160 from flowing into the vicinity of the recessed portion 66Z due to the presence of the step portion 170, making it easier to prevent excessive gas from flowing through the vicinity of the recessed portion 66Z into the vicinity of the inner fire-transfer flame hole groove 133.
