Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a gas burner for food cooking, comprising a sensor of the temperature reached by food contained in heated containers.
- A burner of the type indicated is known for example by the Italian patent for industrial invention nr. 1.159.956.
- Such patent describes a gas burner for the cooking of food contained in containers, to which there is associated an automatic control system of the temperature reached by the food, by means of a temperature sensor that is kept in contact with the bottom of the heated container.
- Such a burner however presents some disadvantages, because it has been verified that the primary air quantity for the air-gas mixture, taken from the lower part of the burner, can be of some difficulty to control, with consequent mixing incostancy, bad combustion, or even extinction of the flame, expecially in the minimum position.
- The invention is based on the recognition of the fact that it is harmful to take the air from a zone where the temperature can be altered due to the presence of an underlying oven, or other heat sources eventually connected with the automatic control system; and that an other troubling element is represented by taking the air from a zone in which turbolence is present, both for thermic convenction effect, both in case that the system needs a forced ventilation to assure that electronic components do not reach dangerous temperatures. Purpose of the present invention is thus that to obviate to the indicated disadvantanges of the known systems, teaching as it is possible to obtain a burner of the described type that even inspite of its simplicity assures mixing costancy of air and gas and thus a perfect combustion.
- To achieve such purpose the present invention has for object a gas burner for food cooking, comprising a sensor of the temperature reached by food contained in heated containers, characterised by the fact that the primary air for the air-gas mixture is taken from above the cooking plane.
- Further purposes and advantages of the present invention will be clear from the detailed description which follows and the annexed drawings, which are supplied only as an explanatory and not limiting example, wherein:
- - figure 1 shows in section the burner according to the invention;
- - figure 2 shows the flame-separator of the burner of figure 1;
- - figure 3 shows the actual burner element of the device according to the invention;
- - figure 4 shows the sump of the burner of figure 1;
- - figure 5 shows the temperature sensor of the burner of figure 1.
- In figure 1, which shows in section the burner according to the invention, reference number 1 indicates the first element of the burner, or flame-separator element;
reference number 2 indicates the second element of the device, or actual burner; reference number 3 indicates the third element of the burner, or air-gas mixing sump;reference number 4 indicates the temperature sensor;reference number 5 indicates the gas entry, reference number 11 indicates the injector that feeds the gas to the mixing sump, or air-mixing sump;reference number 6 indicates the entry slot for the mixing primary air; reference number 7 indicates one of the holes used to fix the burner to the cooking plane. - The
entry slot 6 for the air is a circular one; the air entering by it is fixed in the sump 3 with the gas entering by theentry 5; the mixture rises until the flame-separator 1; the flames exit through theholes 8. - The cooking container is supported in a known way by a support grill, not represented in the figures and which is arranged around the burner.
- As shown the
sensor 4 is disposed in a vertical passage, passing through theelements 1, 2 and 3 of the burner, and is secured inferiorly to the sump 3 by means of special screw, whose seat is shown in the figure. - The
sensor 4 is partially shielded from the heat radiated by the flames owerflowing through theholes 8 by means of the shield realized by the hollow cylindrical particular 12, while it is shielded from the conduction heat of the burner by means of the air flow which crosses thechimney 13. - Figure 2 shows in section and in view the flame-separator element 1 of the burner according to the invention; the
reference number 9 indicates eight equidistant centring-teeth, arranged on a circumference. - Figure 3 shows in section the
actual burner 2 of the device according to the invention. - From figure 1 it is possible to realize how the vertical passage for the temperature sensor, obtained in the
elements 2 and 3, is also used for the vertical positioning of said second element in respect of said third element, so determining also the height of the entry slot for the primary air to be mixed with the gas. - In figure 4, which shows in section the sump 3 of the burner according to the invention, it is shown, indicated with
reference number 10, a centring tooth, which ingages in a special recess obtained in theburner elenent 2, as shown in figure 1; thetooth 10 is in effect a prolongation of the wall of the vertical passage for thesensor 4. Thetooth 10 assures therefore the centring of the gas jet that exits through the gas injector 11 in respect of the Venturi tube indicated in figure 1 withreference number 14. - In figure 5 there is shown the
temperature sensor 4 of the burner according to the invention. - The
sensor 4 superiorly includes a spring-cap, so that it is pressed against the cooking container, and internally, also superiorly, the element sensitive to the temperature, which is a resistor with negative temperature coefficient (NTC); such resistor is inserted in a suitable control electronic circuit, of known type, to mantain the container at a constant temperature. - The mechanic support having the purpose to house the element sensitive to the temperature (NTC) is secured to the third element of the burner 3 by means of a threaded hole 15 and a screw not shown in the figure.
- To minimize the 'by contact' heat transmission to the mechanic support of the element (NTC) coming from the third element 3 of the burner, in the point of contact of the two particulars, protruding point-shaped elements, such as pyramidal protrusions, are provided to minimize the zone of contact.
- The characteristics of the described burner are clear from the given description and the annexed drawings.
- Also clear are the advantages of the balancing burner object of the present invention.
- Specifically, they are represented by the fact that a constant supply of primary air quantity is warranted by simple means, assuring of consequence a perfect combustion in all the operation conditions.
- It is clear that many variants can be apported to the burner, which has been described as an example, by the man skilled in the art, without departing from the novelty principles inherent to the invention.
- For instance it is possible to realize the centring of the gas injectior 11 in respect of the Venturi
tube 14 by means of a hollow obtained in the particular 3 of the burner and a reference tooth obtained in the particular 2 of the burner.
