The present invention relates to a heating means for promoting combustion efficiency of gas bottles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a heating means for a grilling apparatus for promoting combustion efficiency of gas bottles.
A heating means for gas bottle, the heating means comprises a conduction heat shaft having a first end and a second end, with the first end adjacent to a heat source, a conduction heat plate including a plate body and a pivoting portion formed on the plate body and pivotally connected to the second end of the conduction heat shaft, and a connector provided with the conduction heat plate and coupling with the second end of the conduction heat shaft as to attach a gas bottle with the plate body of the conduction heat plate.
The detailed description and technical characteristics of the present invention are described together with the drawings as follows.
With reference to the appended drawings, a grilling apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be explained.
As shown in
The stove 3 includes a main body 301, a joint 302 provided on a side thereof, a stove burner 303 disposed in the main body 301 for providing heat source to the stove 3, a through-hole 304 formed on a side of the main body 301 and inserted by the heating means 1 and a grill 305 disposed therein above the stove burner 303. The stove burner 303 and the joint 302 communicate with each other.

Each conduction heat plate 20 includes a plate body 22, a pivoting portion 21 provided on a side of the plate body 22 and inserted via the second end 12 of the conduction heat shaft 10, a concavity 23 formed on the center of the plate body 22 and a connector 24 installed in the concavity 23. The plate body 22 is preferably arcuate for increasing contact area between the conduction heat plates 20 and the gas bottle 2. Cooperation of the conduction heat plates 20 provide to receive the gas bottle 2, with the concavities 23 of the conduction heat plates 20 being disposed adjacent the gas bottle 2, with the plate bodies 22 being provided on two sides of the second end 12 of the conduction heat shaft 10 respectively. The connector 24 is a magnetic material in this embodiment as to attach the gas bottle 2 between the conduction heat plates 20. Therefore, the thermal energy that is conducted to the conduction heat plates 20 via the first end 11 can be conducted to the gas bottle 2 for heating the gas bottle 2. Because in the present invention, the manner of thermal energy transportation from the stove 3 to the gas bottle 2 is by thermal conduction rather than thermal radiation. It can transport the thermal energy efficiently without thermal energy loss.
The conduction heat shaft 10 and the conduction heat plates 20 are preferably copper, aluminum, silver or iron, with all of these metals having great heat conduction performance. However, to give consideration to both heat conduction performance and economic benefits, the conduction heat shaft 10 can be made of copper and the conduction heat plates 20 can be made of iron or stainless steel.

Each conduction heat plate 30 includes a plate body 32 and a pivoting portion 31 provided on a side of the plate body 32. The plate body 32 is preferably arcuate for increasing contact area between the conduction heat plates 30 and the gas bottle 2. Moreover, each plate body 32 has a first surface and a second surface. Cooperation of the conduction heat plates 30 provide to receive the gas bottle 2, with the second surfaces of the plate bodies 32 abutted against the gas bottle 2, with the plate bodies 32 being provided on two sides of the second end 12 of the conduction heat shaft 10 respectively. The connector 40 is an elastic material in this embodiment and includes two legs 41 and an elastic portion 42, with each leg 41 being L-shaped, with the elastic portion 42 provided for connecting the legs 41 to each other. The second end 12 of the conduction heat shaft 10 is inserted through the pivoting portion 31 of one conduction heat plate 30, the elastic portion 42 of the connector 40 and the pivoting portion 31 of another conduction heat plate 30 in sequence. In this embodiment, the connector 40 is preferred to be a torsion spring. And then, the legs 41 of the connector 40 are adapted to abut against the first surfaces of the plate bodies 32, respectively, for providing the plate bodies 32 drawing close to each other via elasticity of the connector 40 as to attach the gas bottle 2 between the conduction heat plates 30. The thermal energy that is conducted to the conduction heat plates 30 of the heating means 4 via the first end 11 can be conducted to the gas bottle 2 for heating the gas bottle 2.
