Definitions
- This invention relates to a system for setting the minimum level of a gas-fired atmospheric burner, particularly for cooking hobs, ovens and like domestic appliances, the burner being associated with flow rate regulator means and flame detection and ignition devices.
- the minimum flame power deliverable by any gas-fired atmospheric burner is influenced by a large number of factors, resulting in the minimum flame power not being able to be correctly set by the final user if using known burners and the relative currently used flow rate regulator means (taps).
- a minimum power regulator screw is currently provided on the tap.
- This screw is used to preset at the manufacturing stage the minimum gas flow rate required to ensure that the flame is present when the gas pressure is the minimum prescribed by regulations.
- the installer makes a fine adjustment using this screw. In this manner the minimum gas flow rate is ensured, but only under the operating conditions prevailing at the moment of this adjustment.
- the minimum flow rate preset in this manner can undergo change to the extent of resulting in extinguishing of the burner.
- the reference numeral 1 indicates a conventional gas-fired atmospheric burner connected to a gas source via a pipe 2 into which there is connected a gas flow rate control device 3, which may be a pulse-duration modulation controlled solenoid valve, a proportional valve, a motorized tap or similar means enabling the gas flow rate to be regulated non-manually.
- the device 3 is controlled by a microcontroller (or the like) indicated by 4.
- a flame detector such as a thermocouple
- an electrical-discharge ignition device 6 the electrode of which is indicated by 7.
- thermocouple 5 is connected to an input of the microcontroller 4 via an electronic signal conditioner 8, the purpose of which is to provide said input with a digital signal indicating flame present or flame absent.
- a user interface 9 ie a device provided with controls (of touch, knob, slider, pushbutton or similar type) on which the user acts to obtain the required flame power at the burner.
- the illustrated example shows in particular an ignition pushbutton 11, a display 12 showing the chosen power and two pushbuttons, one 13 for increase and one 14 for decrease, for selecting the desired power.
- a certain number (for example 9) of preset flame power levels is memorized in the microcontroller 4, the lowest level being that which enables the flame to remain alight at the minimum gas pressure prescribed by regulations. This hence ensures the existence of the flame under any operating condition on initial ignition of the burner if minimum power level is selected by the pushbuttons 13, 14.
- the user If the user wishes to obtain a power level less than that memorized (for example because the particular cooking operation requires a long time at a very low power level), the user operates the selection pushbuttons, for example by keeping the finger pressed on the power decrease pushbutton 14 after this has attained the lowest level.
- the microcontroller 4 then acts on the flow rate control device 3 so as to slowly reduce the power delivered by the burner 1. At the same time the microcontroller 4 continues to check the presence of the flame by reading the digital signal provided by the conditioning circuit 8 connected to the thermocouple 5.
- the flow rate reduction finally reaches the point at which the flame of the burner 1 is extinguished. This occurrence is sensed by the thermocouple, and a corresponding signal reaches the microcontroller 4 to enable it to determine the final flow rate level able to maintain the flame alight.
- the microcontroller 4 then relights the flame by operating the electrical-discharge ignition device 6, 7 and acting on the flow rate control device 3 to obtain a flow rate which facilitates burner ignition (this flow rate value is memorized in the memory of the microcontroller 4).
- the microcontroller Having achieved relighting, the microcontroller returns the gas flow rate to the minimum level just determined, as required by the user.
- the burner 1 can now operate at the real minimum flow rate relative to the particular operating conditions of the moment.
- the microcontroller 4 having been informed of the absence of flame at the burner 1, gradually increases the gas flow rate (within a preferred range but to less than a maximum value of minimum flow rate) and keeps the ignition device 6, 7 in operation, to then halt the increase in flow rate when it is informed that the flame is alight, this corresponding to a new minimum flow rate level.
- a suitable visual indicator for example is activated, indicated by 20 and positioned on the interface 9.
- the system is able to return to the preset minimum flow rate value which preceded the extinguishing of the flame.
- microcontroller 4 sensing the signal (originating from the thermocouple 5) indicating that the flame has been relit at the new flow rate value, sensing the lack of signal from the interface 9, and comparing the flow rate value reached after re-ignition, with the preset value.
