Safety device for
flame control of a plurality of gas burners, in which each burner (2i) comprises:-a
thermocouple (30j) positioned to be hit by at least one
flame (8) generated by said burner (2j) and inserted into a thermoelectric circuit controlling the supply of gas to said burner (2i),-an
electromagnet (20) belonging to said thermoelectric circuit and acting on a
shutter element (16) of a
solenoid valve (10j), the invention relates to a
gas burner (2j) comprising:-an
electromagnetic valve (32) provided in a
gas supply conduit leading to said burner (2j),-an electrical contact device (32i, 33i, 38i, 39i) powered by a mains
voltage and configured to allow current to flow in said thermoelectric circuit in the presence of said mains
voltage and to prevent current flow in the absence of said supply
voltage, -a
Hall effect sensor (48) for monitoring the current generated by said thermocouples (30i), characterized in that each burner (2j) comprises a first connection connected to the
thermocouple (30j) associated therewith of said
electromagnet (20), and a second connection connected to the same
thermocouple (30) of the Hall sensor (48) common to all burners (2j), an electrical contact device (32j, 33i, 38i, 39j) is inserted in each of the first and second connections, which electrical contact device is controlled by a single
control unit (46), and a single
control unit (46) powered by mains supply and configured to periodically and temporarily close the electrical contact means (33i, 39i) inserted into the second connection of the thermocouple (30i) associated with the burner (2i) when the burner (2j) is in an operating state, and simultaneously opening the electrical contact means (32i, 38i) inserted into a first connection of the same thermocouple (30j) and the electrical contact means (33j, 39j) inserted into a second connection of all other thermocouples (30j) associated with other burners (2j) in operation, said electrical contact means (32i, 38i) inserted into said first connection of all thermocouples (30j) being connected to said burners (2j) in operation. 38i) is selected to be shorter than a
switching time of a
solenoid valve (10j) associated with each of the electromagnets (20).
