2. Background

A cooking appliance is an apparatus which cooks food using heat of a heating source. As an example of a cooking appliance, an oven range includes an oven chamber in which the food is cooked, and a burner in which a gas is burnt to cook the food in the oven chamber.

Korean Patent No. 0516667 (registered on Aug. 29, 2005) discloses a sealed burner installation structure of a gas oven range.

The above-described related document discloses an upper plate which forms an upper case of a top burner part of the gas oven range, a burner body which is inserted into and installed at the top burner part, a burner head which is installed at an upper side of the burner body and located at an upper side of the upper plate, and a burner cap which covers an upper side of the burner head.

A hole through which the burner body passes is formed at the upper plate. A nozzle is provided at the burner body, and the gas injected from the nozzle may flow through an internal space of the burner body, and then may be introduced into the burner head.

According to the above-described related document, in a state in which the nozzle installed at the burner body is located lower than the upper plate, the gas injected from the nozzle flows up, passes through the upper plate, and then is introduced into the burner head.

Therefore, since a space for installing the nozzle and a space for allowing the gas injected from the nozzle to flow up are required in the burner body, a longitudinal height of the burner body should be ensured at a predetermined height, and thus there is a problem in that a height of the top burner part is increased.

Also, when the burner head is separated from the burner body to clean the burner head and the burner cap, the hole formed at the upper plate is exposed to an outside, and thus it is difficult to clean the upper plate, and also water or a foreign substance may be introduced through the hole, while the upper plate is cleaned.

Also, foreign substances may also be prevented from being introduced into the injection hole 155 in the process of cleaning the upper plate 102.

Also, according to the embodiment, since the nozzle 154 is located higher than the upper surface of the upper plate 102, and the burner body 150 blocks the through-hole 114 through which the nozzle 154 passes, the foreign substances may be prevented from being introduced into an inside of the frame 101 of the gas burner 100 through the through-hole 114.

The nozzle 154 may be disposed to be spaced horizontally from the mixed gas flowing part 132.

The injection hole 155 of the nozzle 154 may be disposed to face an entrance of the mixed gas flowing part 132 of the burner head 130. Since the nozzle 154 is located above the upper plate 102, the entire mixed gas flowing part 132 of the burner head 130 may be located at the outside of the frame 101.

The burner set 120 may further include an ignition part 160 which ignites the mixed gas supplied to the burner assembly 121, and a flame detection part 170 which detects whether the flame is generated at the burner assembly 121.

One or more of the ignition part 160 and the flame detection part 170 may be installed at the burner body 150. FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which the ignition part 160 and the flame detection part 170 are installed at the burner body 150.

The upper plate 102 may have a first hole 115 through which the flame detection part 170 passes, and a second hole 116 through which the ignition part 160 passes.

Meanwhile, the burner head 130 may include a chamber forming wall 130a which forms the mixed gas chamber 131.

A receiving recess 138 in which at least a part of the flame detection part 170 is received may be formed at the chamber forming wall 130a.

Also, the chamber forming wall 130a may have a mixed gas guide hole 139 through the mixed gas in the mixed gas chamber 131 passes.

The mixed gas passing through the mixed gas guide hole 139 may flow toward the ignition part 160. Therefore, the mixed gas guide hole 139 may be located adjacent to the ignition part 160.

The burner cap 140 may be seated on the burner head 130, and may cover the mixed gas chamber 131 of the burner head 130.

The burner cap 140 may include a plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 through which the mixed gas is discharged. While the mixed gas is discharged from the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142, the flame is generated. That is, the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 may be referred to as flame holes.

The plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 may be disposed in a ring shape when seen from an upper surface of the burner body 150. At this time, the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 may be disposed to have a plurality of rows in a radial direction of the burner cap 140.

And the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 may be disposed to be spaced from each other at regular intervals from an edge of the burner cap 140 toward a center portion thereof.

Referring to FIG. 5, one or more first slits 144 may be provided at the edge of the burner cap 140. The first slits 144 may spread the flame. That is, the mixed gas discharged through the mixed gas guide hole 139 formed at the chamber forming wall 130a of the burner head 130 is ignited by the ignition part 160, and thus the flame is generated, and the generated flame may be spread to one or more mixed gas discharging holes 142 by the first slits 144.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion B of FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 6, a receiving recess 145 in which at least a part of the flame detection part 170 may be located may be provided at the edge of the burner cap 140. And one or more second slits 146 may be provided at a position which is spaced from the burner cap 140 toward an inside of the receiving recess 145. The second slits 146 serves to allow the flame to be stayed therein. The second slits 146 may be disposed between one of the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 and the flame detection part 170.

When the flame stays in the second slits 146, the flame detection part 170 may detect the flame in the second slits 146. When the flame is not detected by the flame detection part 170, a gas supply to the burner body 150 may be cut off. That is, a gas injection of the nozzle 54 may be prevented.

FIG. 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the gas burner according to the embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, a part of the burner body 150 may pass through the upper plate 102, and then may be located at the outside of the frame 101, and another part of the burner body 150 may be located at the inside of the frame 101.

The nozzle installation part 152 and the nozzle 154 are located at the outside of the frame 101.

According to the embodiment, in the burner body 150, since the nozzle installation part 152 and the nozzle 154 are located at the outside of the frame 101, a height (hereinafter referred to as an “internal height of the burner body”) of the burner body 150 located at the inside of the frame 101 may be minimized.

A gas supply pipe 162 may be connected to the burner body 150. Even when a height of the gas supply pipe 162 is considered, the internal height of the burner body of the embodiment may be lower than that of the burner body when the nozzle is located at the inside of the frame.

Therefore, according to the embodiment, an entire height of the gas burner may be reduced.

The height of the gas burner is associated with a volume of the cooking chamber of the oven unit located at a lower side of the gas burner.

Since an entire height of the cooking appliance is limited, a height of the cooking chamber of the oven unit should be reduced, when the height of the gas burner is increased. When the height of the cooking chamber of the oven unit is reduced, the volume of the cooking chamber is reduced.

However, according to the embodiment, since the height of the gas burner is reduced, the height of the cooking chamber of the oven unit may be increased, and thus the volume of the cooking chamber may also be increased.

The mixed gas flowing part 132 of the burner head 130 may be seated on the upper plate 102 of the frame 101. Also, the burner head 130 may be seated on the nozzle installation part 152 of the burner body 150.

The burner cap 140 may further include an inner wall 147a which is located at the mixed gas chamber 131, and an outer wall 148a which is located at an outside of the chamber forming wall 130a of the burner head 130.

The inner wall 147a may extend downward from the lower surface of the burner cap 140. And a lower end of the inner wall 147a may be spaced from the bottom wall 133 of the mixed gas chamber 131.

A hole 148 through which the mixed gas passes may be formed at the inner wall 147a. The hole 148 may be disposed to face the mixed gas guide hole 139 of the burner head 130.

Due to the outer wall 147b and the inner wall 147a of the burner cap, the burner cap 140 may be prevented from being easily separated from the burner head 130.

As another example, one of the outer wall 147b and the inner wall 147a may be omitted from the burner cap 140.

Hereinafter, an operation of the gas burner will be described.

The gas G may be supplied to the burner body 150 through the gas supply pipe 162. The gas G supplied to the burner body 150 may be injected through the injection hole 155 of the nozzle 154.

The gas G may be horizontally injected from the nozzle 154. The gas G injected from the nozzle 154 may be introduced into the mixed gas flowing part 132.

At this time, since the nozzle 154 is spaced from the entrance of the mixed gas flowing part 132, air A near the mixed gas flowing part 132 may be introduced into the mixed gas flowing part 132 in the process in which the gas G injected from the nozzle 154 is introduced into the mixed gas flowing part 132.

The air A and the gas G introduced into the mixed gas flowing part 132 may flow horizontally and then flow vertically. The air and the gas may be mixed while they flow along the mixed gas flowing part 132.

The mixed gas may flow along the guide part 134 toward a lower surface of a center portion of the burner cap 140. As the mixed gas flows along the guide part 134 toward the lower surface of the center portion of the burner cap 140, it may be minimized that the mixed gas discharged from the guide part 134 and introduced into the mixed gas chamber 131 is concentrated on some of the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142 of the burner cap 140.

Some of the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber 131 passes through the hole 148 of the inner wall 147a of the burner cap 140 and the mixed gas guide hole 139 of the burner head 130. The mixed gas passing through the mixed gas guide hole 139 may be ignited by the ignition part 160.

The flame formed by the ignition part 160 is spread along the first slits 144, and then spread along each of the plurality of mixed gas discharging holes 142. Therefore, the flame may be generated upward at the burner cap 140.

According to the embodiment, structures of the burner head and the burner cap may be simplified, and non-uniformity of the flame generated when the burner cap is erroneously seated on the burner head may be prevented.

Even though all the elements of the embodiments are coupled into one or operated in the combined state, the present disclosure is not limited to such an embodiment. That is, all the elements may be selectively combined with each other without departing the scope of the invention. Furthermore, when it is described that one comprises (or comprises or has) some elements, it should be understood that it may comprise (or include or have) only those elements, or it may comprise (or include or have) other elements as well as those elements if there is no specific limitation.
