Description of the Prior Art
A common infrared stove mainly includes an ignition device, a stove core and a gas-exhausting adjusting device, and fire is sent out through a plurality of fire holes on the stove core to heat food on a utensil; however, when there is wind, the fire may be easily put out, and when cooking the food, boiling water may spill out and put out the fire while the gas continues to be exhausted, if a user does not find that the fire has been put out and does not turn off the gas in time, there may be gas explosion. To prevent this kind of accident from happening, the infrared stove is further improved, a bottom cover, a gas-splitting member and a multi-hole stove board are disposed on the stove core, after the gas passes through the gas-splitting member, the multi-hole stove board ignites the gas to produce fire. Since the gas is exhausted through pores on the multi-hole stove board and is ignited to produce fire, the multi-hole stove board can prevent the problems like the fire being put out by wind or water.
In TWM387967, a gas stove head and a portable gas stove having the same is disclosed, and the gas stove head and the portable gas stove having the same is a stove core structure of a gas stove which has a gas-splitting member and a multi-hole stove board, mainly including a top cover; a multi-hole stove board, disposed above the top cover and having a plurality of through holes for gas to flow therethrough; a net member, disposed under the multi-hole stove board and having a plurality of meshes; a multi-hole gas-splitting member, disposed under the net member, the multi-hole gas-splitting member having the plurality of through holes for the gas to flow therethrough; a bottom cover, engaged with the top cover, the multi-hole stove board, the net member and the multi-hole gas-splitting member being sandwiched between the bottom cover and the top cover so that circumferential sides of the multi-hole stove board, the net member and the multi-hole gas-splitting member contact a wall of the bottom cover tightly so as to maintain an assembling stability and to prevent the multi-hole stove board, the net member and the multi-hole gas-splitting member from shaking in the bottom cover. When the gas stove head and the portable gas stove having the same is in use, the gas is exhausted through the through hole at a center of the bottom cover and split through holes on the multi-hole gas-splitting member and flows out through the meshes of the net member and the pores on the multi-hole stove board, and then the gas is ignited by the ignition device to produce fire so as to heat or cook the food on the utensil.
In TWM387967, a gas stove head and a portable gas stove having the same is disclosed, and in actual practice, the gas flows through pores of a multi-hole gas-splitting member and flows out from a net member and a multi-hole stove board, and the gas is gathered at a center of the gas stove head to produce fire. When a utensil is placed on the gas stove head, the utensil corresponds to and covers above the fire at the center so as to heat or cook food in the utensil. However, since the fire at the center of the gas stove head is completely covered by the utensil above, air contacting the fire is largely decreased, and there may be incomplete combustion. According to the national standard safely regulations, carbon monoxide released by the gas stove into the air needs to be lower than 1400 PPM so as to prevent the gas stove from releasing too much carbon monoxide into the air and to prevent the user from carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore, if the gas stove releases less carbon monoxide when being used, it is safer for the user to use, problems like incomplete combustion and waste of gas may be prevented, and a thermal efficiency can be elevated.
