This invention relates to a portable gas burner comprising an ignition device inside.
Generally, portable gas burners are used by placing a pot or similar item on top of the main body and igniting the gas.
Specifically, a burner body is positioned at the center of the case, forming a fire source. On top of the burner body, there is a grill or pot, and a gas cylinder mounting part that can detach the butane gas cylinder through lever operation is provided.
Furthermore, it operates by manipulating the fuel supply/ignition switch located on the front of the gas cylinder mounting part to supply fuel from the butane gas cylinder and generate piezoelectric electricity, which simultaneously ignites the fuel and emits it into the fire while igniting the flame.
However, such portable gas burners are somewhat large and heavy for portable use, and there is also the inconvenience of requiring additional tools such as pots, kettles, or grills. Additionally, these portable gas burners are made of metal materials that can withstand the flames, making them heavy, and it is rare for methods to be adopted to fold them for miniaturization.
Especially in the case of camping or hiking where other luggage is often carried, miniaturization and lightweight are essential for camping equipment or hiking equipment.
Furthermore, when hiking, there was inconvenience in having to equip a portable gas burner with a stove for heating water needed for beverages or for cooking instant noodles or military rations that require boiling water simultaneously.
To reduce these problems, non-combustible cooking methods exist. However, disposable heat packs used in such methods have disadvantages such as: i) generating disposable waste, ii) being more expensive than items like butane gas, iii) generating a limited amount of heat, which is only enough to heat food that has already been cooked. For example, when using a heat pack to cook instant noodles, the cooking time is over 15 minutes due to the limitation of instant heat generation, and in such cases, the noodles become soggy and cannot be properly cooked.
On the other hand, in the case of backpacking, multiple heat packs are often used, increasing both weight and volume.
On the other hand, there have also been submerged burners used by immersing them in liquids such as water and then igniting a flame.
However, submerged heaters inevitably require that both the intake and exhaust are directed toward the surface of the liquid. Specifically, for combustion, the intake and exhaust gases must move from the surface of the liquid to below it and then rise above it for exhaust after combustion.
But when combustion occurs in the portion submerged in the liquid, hot gas is generated due to the heat of combustion gas. Accordingly, the problem may arise that the intake must circulate against the buoyancy of the hot gas generated.
On the other hand, for the purpose of heating small containers, such as a 150 ml paper cup, the size of the submerged portion may be limited. Therefore, there may be limitations in the thickness of the intake, gas passage, and exhaust of the submerged burner. Due to such limitations in the thickness of the intake, gas passage, and exhaust, the amount of air that can be sucked in may be limited.
Therefore, there is an increasing need for a portable gas burner that can address the above-mentioned problems.
The present invention aims to provide a portable and convenient immersion-type burner.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the portable gas burner includes a first tube in which fuel is first injected and an ignition device that ignites the combustion of the injected fuel on the inner side of the other end. A second tube is connected to the first tube or arranged to surround the first tube, and the first and second tubes are formed in a tubular shape such that the first end and the other end communicate. The first end is open, and the other end is formed to surround the other end of the second tube, and a combustion section where the fuel injected from the first end of the first tube is ignited can be formed on the inner side of the other end of the third tube.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the fuel is injected in a gaseous form, and in the first tube, a first opening that allows external air to flow into the first tube and mix with the fuel injected from the first end may be formed adjacent to the first end.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the first opening may be formed to be spaced apart from the first end of the second tube.
To adjust the flow rate of the gas injected into the first tube in the portable gas burner according to one aspect of the present invention, a flow rate control unit that adjusts the inner diameter of the tube that is connected to the fuel injection unit of the first tube and is disposed at the fuel injection unit of the first tube may be further included.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the flow rate control unit may be configured to adjust the flow rate of the gas that flows into the first tube through the first opening by reducing the internal pressure of the first tube to below atmospheric pressure so that external air flows into the first tube through the first opening.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the other end of the first tube may be formed shorter than the other end of the second tube.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, when the fuel discharged from the other end of the first tube is ignited by the ignition device of the first tube, the air introduced from the first end of the first tube may flow into the combustion occurring at the other end of the second tube.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the other end of the third tube may be arranged so that flames ignited by the ignition device of the first tube come into contact and spread in both directions.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the inner space of the third tube may be formed to allow the combustion gas generated in the combustion section to be discharged.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the outer surface of the third tube may include at least one bent portion to increase the contact area with the outside.

According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the other end of the third tube may be arranged to be supported on the ground so that the third tube is supported against the ground, and the other end of the third tube may extend to the ground.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the other end of the second tube may include a discharge portion that becomes narrower as it goes toward the other end, and the other end of the third tube may be formed so that the inner side rises toward the outer diameter side of the third tube as flames flow in from the other end of the first tube and are introduced into the combustion section.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the lower end of the third tube may be curved and extended in a direction perpendicular to the direction extending from the upper end of the third tube.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the portable gas burner includes a fuel injection unit located at the first end for fuel injection, the first tube which houses an ignition device for igniting the injected fuel, and the second tube formed in a tubular shape to facilitate communication between the first and second ends which can either be connected to or arranged to surround the first tube. Additionally, the third tube with an open first end and the other end configured to encircle the other end of the second tube. The third tube includes a partition portion that divides the internal space of the third tube into two or more sections, and the lower part of this partition portion allows communication. In the first space created by the partition, the fuel flowing from the end of the first tube ignites to form a combustion zone, and the resulting combustion gas is then directed to the second space through the communication unit located at the lower part of the compartment.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the portable gas burner includes a first tube with a fuel injection unit formed at one end, an ignition device to ignite the fuel injected, and the first tube is connected to or arranged to encircle it. There's a second tube formed in a tubular shape that either connects to or surrounds the first tube and allows communication between one end and the other end. Furthermore, a third tube is included, which has an open end at the side top, allowing the second tube to penetrate, and the second tube, originating from the first end, extends through the side of the third tube towards the other end of the third tube.
According to another aspect of the present invention, in the portable gas burner, the second tube includes a first body connected to the first tube, a second body that penetrates through the opening of the third tube, and a third body that connects the first body and the second body, and the third body can be made to have elasticity.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a clamp unit that connects the first tube and the second tube is further included in the portable gas burner, and the clamp unit may include a first clamp that is fixed to the first tube and a second clamp that is coupled to the first clamp and is fixedly coupled to the second tube.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the first clamp in the portable gas burner includes a clip part, and the clip parts receive forces in opposite directions and move, creating first and second clips to secure the internal space, and the height of the second clamp may be longer than the height of the first clamp.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the second clamp in the portable gas burner can be fixed to the shield formed in the second tube.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a holder that fits between the first tube and the second tube is further included in the portable gas burner, and on the outer surface of the first tube, a first groove is formed where the rear end of the holder is fitted, and on the inner surface of the second tube, a second groove can be formed where the front end of the holder is fitted.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner is compact, highly portable, and capable of generating a sufficient amount of heat to boil a substantial amount of water due to continuous fuel supply and high flame temperature. Additionally, there is an advantage of being able to use the invention in lightweight silicone containers, as the containers do not necessarily have to be made of metal. Furthermore, foldable silicone containers can maximize portability when used with the invention.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner has the advantage that a sufficient amount of air can be introduced into the first opening by having the first opening formed in the first tube spaced apart from the first end of the second tube. Consequently, even when submerged in cold liquid, the flame can be maintained.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner has the effect that exhaust gases are discharged in a horizontal direction, protecting the user, the first tube, and the second tube from high-temperature exhaust gases. This is achieved by curving and extending the open portion of the exhaust pipe in a direction closer to the direction extending vertically from the outer diameter of the first tube to the third tube as the exhaust pipe goes upward.
Additionally, due to the outer surface of the third tube, which is composed of the first side, the second side, and the intervening space, the contact area between the outer surface of the third tube and the liquid is increased. This results in faster heat transfer from the inside of the third tube to the liquid, shortening the time it takes to heat the liquid.
Moreover, in one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner provides a compact portable gas burner through the respective structures and their interconnection relationships of the first tube, the second tube, and the third tube.
In particular, by the length relationship between the first tube and the second tube, the formation of the first opening in the first tube, the opening at the top of the second tube, the combustion section of the third tube, and the exhaust pipe, the invention separates the incoming air and the outgoing air from mixing. This enhances safety during use by protecting the user from the discharged air.
Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner prevents the mixing of incoming air and outgoing exhaust gases by having an extension part formed higher than the third tube. The incoming air and the exhaust gases are not mixed in one of the first space or the second space.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner has the advantage of using a partitioned section and a wider-diameter third tube at the top to heat the liquid. This allows for quicker heating of liquid contained in large containers. Moreover, it has the advantage of being able to be inserted and fixed inside the third tube without being relatively constrained by the sizes of the first tube and the second tube.
Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, a compact first tube, second tube, and third tube are used, allowing the invention to be used by submerging it in ordinary-sized containers such as cup ramen containers, soup bowls, or small paper cups. The portable gas burner of the present invention is a compact device for heating liquid directly when submerged, making it highly portable.
Furthermore, the fuel reservoir connected to the fuel connection of the first tube can be easily connected to readily available portable butane gas or similar products made in cans, making it convenient for outdoor use.
Furthermore, when ignition occurs at the bottom of the first tube, the ignited flame points downward from the bottom of the first tube. At this time, since the lower end of the first tube is made shorter than the lower end of the second tube, there is an advantage in that the necessary air for the flame generated at the bottom of the first tube is sufficiently supplied.
The present invention can undergo various modifications and have several embodiments, and a specific embodiment is provided herein for illustrative and detailed description purposes. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to a particular embodiment, and it should be understood to encompass all modifications, equivalents, or substitutes falling within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
The terminology used in the present invention is used for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the present invention, terms such as “include” or “have” indicate the presence of features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof as set forth in the specification, not precluding the presence or possibility of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
Below, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying diagrams. In this case, it should be noted that identical components in the accompanying diagrams are indicated by identical reference numerals whenever possible. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of functions and configurations that may obscure the gist of the present invention will be omitted. For the same reason, some components are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted in the accompanying diagrams.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) is a device that submerges a heating portion, the third tube (300) of the portable gas burner (1000), into water liquid (12) contained in various containers (10), such as silicon containers (10) or Styrofoam containers (10), and directly heats the water liquid (12).
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) includes a first tube (100), a second tube (200), and a third tube (300).
The first tube (100) includes a fuel inlet unit (110) into which fuel is injected.
Specifically, referring to
The fuel connection part (109) may include a flow control unit (115). Specifically, the flow control unit (115) may be disposed in an injection tube connected to the fuel inlet unit (110) of the first tube (100) to adjust the flow rate of gas introduced into the first tube (100). The flow control unit (115) may adjust the amount of fuel injected into the main tube (120) by adjusting the internal diameter of the inner tube located inside the fuel inlet unit (110) of the first tube (100).
The flow control unit (115) may be configured to control the flow rate of gas introduced into the first tube (100) by reducing the pressure inside the first tube (100) below atmospheric pressure to allow external air to flow into the first tube (100) through the first opening (130). The flow control unit (115) may include a control dial (115a) for adjusting the flow rate and a control shaft (115b) connected to the control dial (115a).
The fuel can be injected in gaseous form. Specifically, the fuel inside the fuel reservoir (20) may be in liquid (12) form, but when injected into the first tube (100), it may vaporize into gas and be injected into the first tube (100).
The main tube (120) extends to the lower portion of the fuel inlet unit (110). The main tube (120) may have a first opening (130) formed therein. An ignition device (180) for ignition may be disposed at the bottom of the main tube (120).
A first opening (130) that allows external air to flow into the first tube (100) and mix with the fuel injected from the first end may be formed adjacent to the first end to allow the fuel injected from the first end to mix with the air in the first tube (100). Specifically, a first opening (130) can be formed at the top of the main tube (120) of the first tube (100).
Specifically, referring to
In this case, the first opening (130) may be arranged to be spaced apart from the first end (201) of the second tube (200). This prevents insufficient air from being introduced into the first opening (130) due to the air introduced into the top of the second tube (200). In other words, by spacing the first opening (130) apart from the first end (201) of the second tube (200), sufficient air can be introduced into the first opening (130).
The first tube (100) includes an ignition device (180) disposed on the inner side of the lower end of the first tube (100) that ignites the combustion of the injected fuel.
Specifically, referring to
When the fuel discharged from the lower end of the first tube (100) is ignited by the aforementioned ignition device (180) of the first tube (100), the air introduced from the first end (201) of the second tube (200) serves as the necessary air for the combustion of the flame (F) generated at the lower end of the first tube (100). Thus, continuous combustion of the flame (F) at the lower end of the first tube (100) is possible.
On the other hand, the lower end of the first tube (100) may be shorter than the lower end (202) of the second tube (200).
Specifically, referring to
By making the lower end of the first tube (100) shorter than the lower end (202) of the second tube (200), additional air can be supplied smoothly when the fuel discharged from the lower end of the first tube (100) by the ignition device (180) is ignited.
Specifically, referring to
The second tube (200) can be connected to the first tube (100) or arranged to enclose the first tube (100) and may be configured in a tubular shape where the first end and the second end are communicative.
Specifically, as shown in
On the other hand, the second tube (200) can include a baffle (210) that protrudes from the outer side of the second tube (200) and covers the lower end (302) of the third tube (300).
Specifically, referring to
If exhaust gas is mixed with the air introduced at the top of the second tube (200), the air introduced at the top of the second tube (200) into the flame (F) ignited at the bottom of the first tube (100) may not be sufficient to sustain the flame (F). The baffle (210) has the effect of preventing exhaust gas from being mixed with the air introduced at the top of the second tube (200).
The distance between the outer diameter of the first tube (100) and the inner diameter of the second tube (200) can be from 1 mm to 20 mm. Specifically, referring to
When the distance between the outer diameter of the first tube (100) and the inner diameter of the second tube (200) is less than 1 mm, the air (a2) flowing through between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) may not be sufficient. Additionally, when the space between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) is narrow, noise may be generated by the air flowing through between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200).
Furthermore, when the distance between the outer diameter of the first tube (100) and the inner diameter of the second tube (200) is greater than 20 mm, it may be difficult to achieve the lightweight and compact design of the present invention. Moreover, increasing the distance between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) may loosen the connection between them.
Therefore, it is desirable that the distance between the outer diameter of the first tube (100) and the inner diameter of the second tube (200) is from 1 mm to 20 mm.
The distance between the first end of the first tube (100) and the first end (201) of the second tube (200) can be from 20 mm to 40 mm. Referring to
When the distance between the first end of the first tube (100) and the first end (201) of the second tube (200) is less than 20 mm, there may not be sufficient space for the first opening (130) in the first tube (100). Additionally, there may not be enough space for the connection between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200).
If the distance between the first end of the first tube (100) and the first end (201) of the second tube (200) increases to more than 40 mm, the path for the mixture of vaporized fuel and air to travel from the inside of the first tube (100) to the bottom of the first tube (100) may become too long to deliver a sufficient mixture of fuel and air to the bottom of the first tube (100).
The third tube (300) has an open first end and covers the lower end (202) of the second tube (200).
Specifically, referring to
The flame (F) generated at the bottom of the first tube (100) burns between the bottom of the second tube (200) and the bottom of the third tube (300). The space between the bottom of the first tube (100) and the bottom of the third tube (300) where the flame (F) is generated can be referred to as a combustion zone (303).
Specifically, inside the third tube (300), a combustion zone (303) is formed. Inside the lower end (302) of the third tube (300), a combustion zone (303) is formed by igniting the fuel introduced from the first end of the first tube (100).
The flame (F) generated in the combustion zone (303) can be discharged externally along the space between the third tube (300) and the second tube (200). In other words, exhaust gas generated in the combustion zone (303) is discharged externally along the space between the third tube (300) and the second tube (200).
The high-temperature exhaust gas passing through the space between the third tube (300) and the second tube (200) can heat the inner side (300a) and outer side (300b) of the third tube (300). The bottom side and outer side (300b) of the heated third tube (300) exchange heat with the liquid (12) contained in the container (10), allowing the liquid (12) to be heated.
On the other hand, the third tube (300) can have a baffle (310).
Specifically, as shown in
Furthermore, the third tube (300) can include an exhaust duct (320) that protrudes from the top of the baffle (310). As shown in
The exhaust duct (320) can be formed with a curve. Specifically, as shown in
On the other hand, the first end of the exhaust duct (320) can be spaced further apart from the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) as it goes upward.
Specifically, as shown in
The third tube (300) can include a support portion (390) that extends from the lower end (302) of the third tube (300) protruding to the floor to support the third tube (300) against the floor.
Specifically, referring to
The support portion (390) can consist of three or more legs, each of which may be adjustable in length. Through this, the support portion (390) can maintain horizontal stability by adjusting the lengths of its legs, even if the bottom of the container (10) is not flat.
The lower end (302) of the third tube (300) can be positioned to allow the flame (F) ignited by the ignition device (180) of the first tube (100) to contact it and spread to both sides.
Specifically, referring to
Additionally, as shown in
This allows the flame (F) generated inside the portable gas burner (1000) to effectively spread within the third tube (300), increasing the temperature inside the third tube (300), and the elevated temperature inside the third tube (300) can heat the liquid (12) filled in the container (10).
On the other hand, the first tube (100), second tube (200), and third tube (300) can be coupled to each other through coupling means (400).
Specifically, referring to
Additionally, the coupling means (400) can further include a second coupling element (420) that couples the second tube (200) and the third tube (300) with features similar to the aforementioned first coupling element (410). The second coupling element (420) can have bolts inserted through openings formed in the third tube (300) and can be rotated to apply pressure against the outer surface of the second tube (200).
In this case, bolt-inserted fixed grooves (not shown) may be formed on the outer surfaces of the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) to increase the fixing force of the aforementioned bolts.
Below, referring to
Through the fuel inlet unit (110), fuel can be injected from the fuel reservoir (20) into the main tube (120). The injected fuel can be vaporized fuel.
In the main tube (120), vaporized fuel injected through the fuel inlet unit (110) and air (a1) introduced through the first opening (130) can mix. For convenience, this can be referred to as the first inlet air (a1).
At this time, the fuel passing through the main tube (120) does not escape to the outside through the first opening (130). This is because the pressure inside the main tube (120) is lower than the external pressure, and according to Bernoulli's theorem, air from the outside is introduced through the first opening (130).
A gas (b2) in which fuel and air are mixed can flow into the lower part of the main tube (120). By the ignition device (180) arranged in the lower part of the main tube (120), the gas mixture of fuel and air can be ignited.
On the other hand, external air can be introduced through the upper opening of the second tube (200). For convenience, this can be referred to as the second inlet air (a2).
In cases where the mixture of fuel and air at the lower part of the main tube (120) is ignited by the ignition device (180) placed there, additional air may be required. The aforementioned second inlet air (a2) can be supplied to the ignited flame (F), allowing it to be sustained.
The flame (F) generated in the combustion zone (303) inside the third tube (300) can raise the temperature inside the portable gas burner (1000). Furthermore, the exhaust gas (c1) produced by combustion within the inner part of the third tube (300) can be discharged to the outside (c2) through the space between the second tube (200) and the third tube (300).
On the other hand, referring to
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) provides a compact portable gas burner (1000) through the respective structures and coupling relationships of the first tube (100), the second tube (200), and the third tube (300). In particular, by configuring the lengths of the first tube (100) and the second tube (200), the first opening (130) formed in the first tube (100), the opening at the top of the second tube (200), the combustion zone (303) of the third tube (300), and the exhaust duct (320), the air drawn in and the air discharged can be separated while simultaneously enhancing user safety by protecting the user from the discharged air.
Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) allows for use with ordinary-sized containers, such as cup ramen containers (10) or bowls, small paper cups, and the like, by using compact first tube (100), second tube (200), and third tube (300). The portable gas burner (1000) of the present invention has the advantage of being compact and can be used by immersing it directly in water liquid (12).
Additionally, a portable butane gas container or the like, which is easy to obtain in the market, can be connected to the fuel reservoir (20) connected to the fuel connection part (109) of the first tube (100), making it easy to use outdoors.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the third tube (300) of the portable gas burner (1000) can have a curved portion.
Specifically, the outer side (300b) of the third tube (300) can include one or more curved portions to increase the contact area with the external environment.
Referring to
The curved portion can create a gap (300b3) between the first side (300b1) and the second side (300b2) due to the difference in the extent of protrusion of the first side (300b1) and the recessed second side (300b2). Depending on the inflow and outflow of the liquid (12) inside the container (10) in the gap (300b3), heat transfer from inside the third tube (300) to the liquid (12) inside the container (10) can occur at a faster rate. As a result, the liquid (12) inside the container (10) can be heated more quickly.
Due to the outer side (300b) of the third tube (300) composed of the first side (300b1), the second side (300b2), and the gap (300b3), the contact area between the outer side (300b) of the third tube (300) and the liquid (12) increases. This effect allows for faster transfer of heat within the third tube (300) to the liquid (12), thereby reducing the time required to heat the liquid (12).
On the other hand, referring to
Referring to
On the other hand, the lower end (202) of the second tube (200) can be formed to narrow as it goes further, creating a narrowing exhaust lower end. Additionally, the lower end (302) of the third tube (300) can be formed so that, as the flame entering from the lower end of the first tube (100) flows into the combustion zone (303) of the third tube (300), it disperses outward toward the outer circumference of the third tube (300) by gradually rising inward.
Specifically, referring to
Through this configuration, the mixed gas of fuel and air passing through the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) can be concentrated through the lower end (202) of the second tube (200). Furthermore, the flame (F) entering the third tube (300) can spread less widely, providing an advantage in increasing the intensity of the flame (F).
Additionally, by reducing the diameter of the lower end (202) of the second tube (200), the mixed gas of fuel and air can be concentrated. Ignition of the concentrated mixed gas with flame (F) can lead to a stable, concentrated, and powerful flame (F).
The second tube (200) and the third tube (300) can be curved and elongated.
Specifically, referring to
The third tube (300), which extends downward along the first tube (100), can also be curved and extended in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction. Additionally, the second tube (200) that is placed inside the third tube (300) can also be curved and extended in a direction corresponding to the third tube (300). In other words, an extension part (202a) of the second tube (200) can be provided.
With this structure, in an embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) can be used even with a container (10) having a wide bottom, allowing it to be submerged or used for submerged heating. Additionally, the increased contact surface area with the submerged liquid (12) allows for faster heating of the liquid (12).
In this case, the flame (F) generated at the bottom of the first tube (100) may not be discharged to the outer part of the second tube (200). However, the flame (F) generated at the bottom of the first tube (100) is expelled very quickly. Consequently, the exhaust gas (c1a) generated from the flame (F) is also expelled (c1b) very quickly in the same direction as the progress of the flame (F). Therefore, the exhaust gas can be expelled (c1b) through the extended part of the second tube (200) towards the third tube (300).
The exhaust gas (c1c) expelled into the third tube (300) can flow through the space between the second tube (200) and the third tube (300). The exhaust gas (c1) is expelled (c2) towards the top of the third tube (300).
Because the temperature of the exhaust gas is high, the third tube (300) can be heated by this exhaust gas. The heated third tube (300) can heat the liquid (12) through heat exchange. In this case, the outer side (300b) of the third tube (300) can have curved portions.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) can have the second tube (200) and the third tube (300) extended horizontally, increasing the contact area with the liquid (12) contained in the wide container (10) and allowing for rapid heating.
Additionally, when the container (10) is large, there is an advantage in using the second tube (200) and the third tube (300), which are elongated and curved as described above, to quickly heat the liquid (12) contained in the large container (10).
Referring to
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) can include the first tube (100) and the third tube (300).
Specifically, referring to
The third tube (300) includes a partitioning part (350) that divides the interior space of the third tube (300) into two or more spaces.
Specifically, referring to
In this case, the second space (305) can be an exhaust section. The high-temperature exhaust gas transferred to the exhaust section can heat the third tube (300), and the heated third tube (300) can heat the liquid (12) contained in the container (10).
On the other hand, the first tube (100) can be coupled to the third tube (300) through a third coupling element (430). Specifically, the third coupling element (430) can include a string (432) that surrounds the first tube (100) and a fixing element (431) that fixes the string (432) from the outside of the third tube (300).
The first tube (100) can be coupled to the third tube (300) through the third coupling element (430), and the screen (140) formed on the first tube (100) can extend over the end of the third tube (300). With the screen (140) hung on the end of the third tube (300), the first tube (100) and the third tube (300) can be more securely coupled through the third coupling element (430).
Referring to
The first tube (100) can be placed in the first space (308) or the second space (305). The space opposite to where the first tube (100) is placed can become an exhaust space where exhaust gas is discharged.
By having the extension part formed higher than the third tube (300), air drawn into the first space (308) or the second space (305) and exhaust gas discharged from one of the first space (308) and the second space (305) may not mix with each other.
The third tube (300) can have a larger diameter at the top than at the bottom. Specifically, as shown in
In cases where the exhaust gas does not easily pass through the second space (305), exhaust gas can be discharged to the top of the first space (308), and in such cases, sufficient air may not be supplied to the flame (F), which may extinguish. However, in this invention, external air can be introduced into the top of the first space (308) through the aforementioned structure, allowing the flame (F) to continue burning by supplying air. Additionally, exhaust gas can be easily discharged into the second space (305).
According to an embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the upper-diameter third tube (300) with the partitioning part (350), the liquid (12) can be heated more quickly in a large container (10). Furthermore, there is an advantage that it can be inserted and fixed inside the third tube (300) without being relatively restricted in size compared to the first tube (100).
The embodiments shown in
Referring to
The first tube (100) includes a fuel inlet unit (110) where fuel is injected, and an ignition device (180) is arranged on the inner side of the lower end to cause combustion of the injected fuel.
The second tube (200) can be connected to the first tube (100) or arranged to surround the first tube (100), forming a tubular shape where the head and tail are communicative. The second tube (200) is connected to the first tube (100) and extends from there, penetrating the side of the third tube (300) to extend toward the lower end (302) of the third tube (300).
The third tube (300) has an open top, and the lower end can surround the lower end (202) of the second tube (200).
In this case, an opening is formed at the side top of the third tube (300) through which the second tube (200) can penetrate. Specifically, an opening is formed at the side top of the third tube (300) through which the second tube (200) can penetrate and be wedged. At the top of the third tube (300), the second screen (340) can protrude on both sides. The second screen (340) can be configured to secure the third tube (300) or to fix the third tube (300) to the container (10).
Referring first to
The second tube (200) can be connected to the first tube (100). For example, as shown in
The lower end of the first tube (100) and the upper end of the second tube (200) can be connected to each other through a clamp unit (440). In this case, as shown in
In this embodiment, since the top of the second tube (200) is not open, a second opening (230) for introducing additional air necessary for additional combustion can be provided in the second tube (200). The second opening (230) can be arranged closer to the ignition device (180) than shown in the diagrams.
On the other hand, the second opening (230) in the second tube (200) is not always open but can be selectively opened or closed by an opening cover (231). When the opening cover (231) is in the open state, external air can be introduced, and when it is in the closed state, the introduction of external air can be blocked.
In this embodiment, the ignition device (180) can be located in the second tube (200). Specifically, as shown in
Additionally, the exhaust gas generated by the flame (F) can flow into the interior of the third tube (300) along the second tube (200) due to the high temperature and high-speed combustion of the flame (F) in the same direction as the progress of the fuel.
The reason exhaust gases do not flow backward in the second tube (200) but flow into the interior of the third tube (300) after entering the lower part of the second tube (200) is that the flame (F) generated by the ignition device (180) is formed very hot and rapidly in the same direction as the fuel's progression.
The second tube (200) and the third tube (300) in the embodiment described in
Next, referring to
In this embodiment, the first tube (100) can be inserted into the interior of the second tube (200) and the upper part of the first tube (100) can be coupled to the upper part of the second tube (200) by a clamp unit (440). The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in the previous embodiment, the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) are connected to each other, whereas in this embodiment, a part of the first tube (100) is inserted into the interior of the second tube (200) and fixed.
The structure of the clamp unit (440) for coupling the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is as shown in
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) may further include a clamp unit (440) for connecting the first tube (100) and the second tube (200).
Referring to
Referring to
Alternatively, space inside the first clamp (441) can be secured to allow the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) to be coupled together. For example, as shown in
The first clamp (441) and the second clamp (446) can be welded together. Specifically, the first clamp (441) and the second clamp (446) can be welded to each other along a welding line (445) of the first clamp (441).
The height (d2) of the second clamp (446) can be longer than the height (d1) of the first clamp (441). Specifically, as shown in
The second clamp (446) can be formed in a rounded shape to engage with the first clamp (441) and includes a rounded portion (446b) that is rounded and extends vertically from both ends of the rounded portion (446b), wing portions (446a) that extend vertically from the rounded portion (446b) at the bottom of the wing portions (446a) and horizontal portions (446c) that extend in the direction vertical to the rounded portion (446b). Additionally, the second clamp (446) can be fixed to the baffle (210) formed in the second tube (200).
The first clamp (441) is welded and coupled to the rounded portion (446b). Except for the welding line (445), there may be no contact between the rounded portion (446b) and the first clamp (441), forming a space. Air circulates through this space, allowing the temperature of the first clamp (441) and the second clamp (446) to be reduced.
The wing portion (446a) may be formed to ensure stable fixation of the clamp unit (440). The wing portion (446a) provides a space where the horizontal portion (446c) is formed. The wing portion (446a) can separate the front and rear spaces of the wing portion (446a) from each other. This allows for adjusting the position of the wing portion (446a) to divide the opening formed at the top of the second tube (200) into two areas when necessary.
The horizontal portion (446c) can be fixed to the baffle (210) formed at the top of the second tube (200). Specifically, referring to
The second tube (200) comprises a first body that is connected to the first tube (100), a second body that extends through the opening of the third tube (300) in the direction of its extension, and a third body that connects the first body and the second body, wherein the third body may be made to have elasticity.
Specifically, referring to
The second body can extend through the opening of the third tube (300) in the same direction as the extension of the third tube (300). Specifically, as shown in
The third body can be fitted in the area where the second body protrudes to the outer side of the third tube (300). The third body can be made of an elastic rubber material. The third body plays a role in allowing the first body and the second body to be easily coupled to each other. Specifically, the third body can be coupled within the end of the second body, and the first body can be fitted inside the third body.
However, in contrast to the above, the third body may not be provided. In such a case, the end of the second body can be formed of a material with elasticity, allowing the first body to be directly coupled to the end of the second body.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a portable gas burner may further include a holder (450) that is fitted between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200).
Specifically, referring to
Grooves in which the holder (450) can be fitted can be formed on the first tube (100) and the second tube (200).
Specifically, as shown in
A second groove (200a) in which the front end (450a) of the holder (450) can be fitted may be formed on the inner side of the second tube (200). The second groove (200a) can be formed at one location to allow the front end (450a) of the holder (450) to be fitted on the inner side of the second tube (200).
Furthermore, as shown in (a) of
As shown in (a) and (b) of
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the portable gas burner (1000) can include a holder (450) fitted between the first tube (100) and the second tube (200), providing advantages of fixing the relative positions of the first tube (100) and the second tube (200) to each other or allowing for relative position changes using a simpler structure than one using bolts or nuts.
On the other hand, the fuel used in the portable gas burner of the present invention can include not only fuel contained in butane gas cylinders, but also liquefied fuel (such as gasoline or alcohol) contained in containers at similar pressures to atmospheric pressure. In such cases, the portable gas burner may also include a vaporization pipe that allows the liquid fuel, such as gasoline or alcohol, to pass through and vaporize.
In conclusion, while the embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention by adding, changing, deleting, or substituting components without departing from the scope of the claims of the present invention, and these modifications and changes are also within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
