Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kochstelle für Gasherde, deren Brenner mit Primärluftvormischung betrieben wird, bestehend aus zwei übereinander angeordneten Gasluftgemisch-Versorgungskammern (1,2), die beide durch einen an der Brennerkopfunterseite angebrachten, jeweils getrennten Gaseingang (1a,2a) mit einer Gasluftmisch-Einrichtung zur Bildung des Gasluftgemisches für eine Haupt- und vorzugsweise Halteflamme, und für eine extrem niedrige Simmerflamme sorgen. Der obere Brennerring (3) der oberen Gasluftgemisch-Versorgungskammer (1) weist an seinem äußeren Durchmesser Gasaustrittsöffnugen (7) auf, die die Haupt- und vorzugsweise Halteflamme erzeugen, und der unter dem oberen Brennerring (3) liegende zweite Brennerring (4) der unteren Gasluftgemisch-Versorgungskammer (2) an seinem äußeren Durchmesser eine rundum spaltförmige Gasaustrittsöffnung (5) zur Auflage des Brennerkopfes (6) hin aufweist, der die Simmerflamme erzeugt, und die beiden Außendurchmesser der Brennerringe (3,4) im Flammenbereich die gleiche Größe aufweisen.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a hotplate for gas stoves, the burner of which is operated with primary air premixing, consisting of two gas air mixture supply chambers (1, 2) arranged one above the other, both of which have a separate gas inlet (1a, 2a) on the underside of the burner head with a gas air mixing Device for forming the gas-air mixture for a main and preferably holding flame, and for an extremely low simmer flame. The upper burner ring (3) of the upper gas-air mixture supply chamber (1) has gas outlet openings (7) on its outer diameter, which generate the main and preferably holding flame, and the second burner ring (4) located below the upper burner ring (3) lower gas-air mixture supply chamber (2) has an all-round gap-shaped gas outlet opening (5) on its outer diameter for supporting the burner head (6) that generates the Simmerflame, and the two outer diameters of the burner rings (3,4) have the same size in the flame area .
