The disclosure relates to kitchen equipment, and more particularly to a gas stove.
Conventionally, the gas stoves include an external pot support and adopt an external combustion mode, which are unsightly in appearance, inconvenient to use, difficult to clean, and have a low heat efficiency. In addition, the pot support is unstable on the gas stoves and occupies much space. In recent years, integrated stoves have been developed. However, the burning is an open mode, and the pot support is externally disposed. The oil fumes are not purified and are directly discharged to the air, which is environmentally unfriendly.
Existing non-open gas stoves without pot supports include a heat conduction panel above the burner, and the hot flue gas generated by the combustion is directly diffused into the air, which leads to many defects. For example, the heat conduction efficiency of the heat conduction panel is low, the temperature rise of the cooker is slow, and the directional thermal conduction to the cooker cannot be realized, resulting in unnecessary high temperatures in surrounding areas of the cooker, which leads to a serious decline in thermal efficiency, and may burn or scald operators and destroy food materials or instruments.

In another aspect, the disclosure further provides a gas stove comprising: a stove body, a heat conduction panel, a burner, a bottom wall, an annular side wall, and a blocking and diversion member. The heat conduction panel is disposed on the burner; the bottom wall and the annular side wall are at least one-layered; the bottom wall is disposed outside the burner and faces the heat conduction panel, so that hot smoke produced by the burner is diffused through a gap between the heat conduction panel and the bottom wall; a top end of the annular side wall abuts against the heat conduction panel, a bottom end of the annular side wall abuts against the bottom wall.

The blocking and diversion ring comprises a folding-belt-type blocking and diversion ring; gaps 292 between every two adjacent ripples 291 of the folded belt function as the plurality of air guide channels; the hot smoke is blocked by the folded belt to form the turbulence; the plurality of air guide channels diverts the blocked hot smoke and directs it to the hot smoke release channel.
The gas stove comprises other features as understood in Example 14 and hence are not described in greater detail herein.
A fifteenth example of the gas stove is illustrated in
In the example, the blocking and diversion member 14 comprises a plurality of blocking and diversion rings disposed between the burner 15 and the fume outlet 19.
In one example, the plurality of blocking and diversion rings comprises the only one of the plurality of fin-type blocking and diversion rings 56 in Example 14, the plurality of belt-type blocking and diversion rings in Example 17, or the plurality of folding-belt-type blocking and diversion rings in Example 18; the plurality of blocking and diversion rings is spaced evenly outward from the center of the burner 15.
In one example, the plurality of blocking and diversion rings comprises at least two of the plurality of fin-type blocking and diversion rings 56 in Example 14, the plurality of belt-type blocking and diversion rings in Example 17, and the plurality of folding-belt-type blocking and diversion rings in Example 18; preferably, the plurality of blocking and diversion rings is spaced evenly outward from the center of the burner 15. For example, the plurality of blocking and diversion rings comprises the plurality of fin-type blocking and diversion rings 56 in Example 14 and the plurality of belt-type blocking and diversion rings in Example 17, both of which are spaced sequentially outward from the center of the burner 15.
The gas stove comprises other features as understood in Examples 14-18 and hence are not described in greater detail herein.
A twentieth example of the gas stove is illustrated in
In the example, the gas stove does not comprise the fresh air exchanger; and the surface of the stove body 1 comprises a plurality of air inlets 32 through which fresh air enters the gas stove. A fume release passage 33 is disposed in the stove body 1 or the heat conduction panel 2 and is connected to the smoke outlet 19; the hot smoke is discharged through the fume release passage 33 and the smoke outlet 19. Preferably, the fume release passage 33 is disposed on the heat conduction panel 2.
The gas stove comprises other features as understood in Examples 14-19 and hence are not described in greater detail herein.
The following advantages are associated with the gas stove of the disclosure:
A combustion zone of the gas stove is located under the heat conduction panel 2, and a cookware is directly placed on the heat conduction panel 2; the infrared heat energy emitted by the burner 15 is transmitted to the heat conduction panel 2 to heat the cookware. Compared with the prior art gas stove, a cookware frame is removed so that the surface of the gas stove is easy to clean and wind-resistant. The heat conduction panel is flat and hence allows the cookware to rest on, preventing the accident from occurring. As a result, a kitchen appliance or foodstuff may be placed or cut on the surface of the heat conduction panel to improve kitchen space utilization.
The burner, the bottom wall and the annular side wall of the thermal insulation and guide device 13 is disposed under the heat conduction panel; as a result, the gas stove combustion zone is more wind-resistant and safer than the prior art.
The vertical arm 3 is disposed on the stove body 1; the fume absorption inlet is disposed on the vertical arm above the heat conduction panel; the air blower and the fume release channel 221 are disposed in the vertical arms; the fume release channel 221 connected to the fume absorption inlet 11; the fume outlet 19 is disposed on the thermal insulation and guide device 13 to allow the fume to be discharged from the combustion chamber; one end of the hot smoke release channel 21 is connected to the fume outlet 19, and the other end of the hot smoke release channel 21 is connected to the fume release channel 221; the air blower is disposed in the fume release channel 221, so that the negative pressure is formed in the fume outlet 19 in the fume absorption inlet 11 and the smoke outlet 19, and the oil fume and the hot smoke are absorbed into the fume release channel 221. The air blower operates to absorb the oil fume formed in the process of food cooking while generating an aerodynamic force and facilitating the air circulation in the burner 15, thus increasing the heating efficiency of the gas stove.
The blocking and diversion member is configured to block and divert the flow of the hot smoke; the smoke outlet 19 is disposed on the bottom wall 59 and the annular side wall 58 of the thermal insulation and guide device 13. As the burner 15 is turned on, the hot smoke is generated from the combustion layer of the burner 15 and flows to the fume outlet 19, during which the hot smoke is blocked and diverted by the blocking and diversion member 14, and a turbulence occurs due to formation of swirls and eddies. Thus, the hot smoke maintains contact with the heat conduction panel and/or the blocking and diversion member, increasing the intensity of infrared radiation above the heat conduction panel 2, and improving the heating efficiency. The thermal insulation and guide device 13 is configured to prevent heat dissipation, so that the heat energy is concentrated in the combustion chamber and spread over only an area above the heat conduction panel, thus improving safety and the heat transfer efficiency and
Further, the closed stove comprises the directional heat conduction panel which increases the heat transfer efficiency and improves safety.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
