Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a deep drawn burner mechanism for domestic gas cooking apparatuses where burner (cooking) tap (2) and injector (7) are positioned in an air-gas mixture chamber ( 28 ) which is formed by shaping cooking (burner) plate (1) in a manner that would provide flame balance and kept at that position, and furthermore with the use of a deep drawn burner mechanism for such cooking apparatuses having a burner plate (1) consisting of a pot-type gas-burner at least.
  • Injector in a cooking apparatus which takes place in a European Patent Application, No. EP 0751352 A1 is held by a tube-shaped component of an injector carrier passing through inferior orifice of plate deep drawn.
  • This tube shaped component consists of some teeth and is attached to burner plate deep drawn with a nut or a part similar thereto.
  • Burner tap in the same apparatus consists of some wings providing central channel of burner tap become centered on longitudinal axis of injector. These wings which provide centering are leant on outer edge of the nut. Because of an additional part is needed to hold the wings and also because of high temperature, the nut welds injector holder which is made by aluminum injection in general, so, resulting difficulty of taking it out of that component, form significant disadvantages.
  • Burner tap in document EP-A-0 751 352 is fixed on burner plate deep drawn through lateral positioning wings. Positioning wings sit on burner plate. Tuning of burner tap around longitudinal axis of the injector is prevented by a sparking plug extending vertically on burner plate. A notch on external edge of burner tap prevents the turning of burner tap by serving as housing for the plug. As a disadvantage, there is a need for a sparking plug on burner plate or a similar part for preventing of turning.
  • Burner tap of the apparatus as referred to in the patent application, No. GB 2256268 A consists of radial wings. It is suggested that a limiting circular housing should be formed to make these radial wings be sat tightly by shaping burner plate. A notch on external edge of burner tap prevents the turning of burner tap by serving as housing for the plug. As a disadvantage, there is a need for a sparking plug on burner plate or a similar part for preventing of turning.
  • this housing has a vertical and narrow edge section rising from the surface of the plate.
  • usage of steel sheet as burner plate in general makes almost impossible of obtaining such a structure by shaping sheet plates in the press.
  • forming such a structure on burner plate having that type of limiting and surrounding walls could be evaluated as a more difficult and complex process.
  • an additional component in ring form would be welded burner plate for forming the housing, it could easily be estimated that process would cause some problems during the phase of enamel coating of the plate and affect adversely the esthetical integrity of the product.
  • a subject of the present invention is to realize a deep drawn burner mechanism having a deep drawn burner plate consisting of structural details which could easily be shaped in the press and which is capable of preventing the turning of burner tap around its own axis, after it has been made sat into its housing of moving on horizontal surface, even if any sparking plug extending on burner plate vertically or any technical element did not exist.
  • Another aim of the invention is to give effect to a deep drawn burner mechanism with a burner tap consisting of certain structures which could provide the centering of burner tap with longitudinal axis of injector without the need for an additional component for any supplementary shaping which renders the production difficult in deep drawn burner plate or to hold the burner tap.
  • Invention is principally referred to in the details of positioning of burner tap (2) and injector (7) in air-gas mixture chamber (28) which is formed by shaping burner plate (1) (through deep drawing process) in such a form providing flame balance and keeping it in that position.
  • Part of deep drawn burner plate (1) forming mixture chamber (28) and other parts where burner tap (2) is sat have a section profile which could be easily obtained under press.
  • side wall (30) of mixture chamber (28) has a section profile broadening upward from the bottom ( Figure 1).
  • Placement of burner tap (2) into air-gas mixture chamber (28) in a suitable position is effected by centering leg (6) and sitting leg (23) both of which are located beneath the burner tap (2).
  • Sitting leg (23) keep burner tap (2) at such a height whereby a suitable primary air inlet space (9) would be created between burner plate (1) and burner tap (2).
  • there are three sitting legs (23) and three settling housings (3). Legs (23) are placed below burner tap (2) and housings (3) on upper edges of mixture chamber (28) on burner plate (1) with equal angular intervals ( Figure 3 and Figure 4).
  • housings (3) prevent horizontal movement of sitting legs (23) which have a pressed structure from both sides in such a way particularly not permitting burner tap (2) to turn around its own axis.
  • Number of housings (3) and sitting legs (23) and angular value between them could be different than that of the preferred arrangement.
  • Burner tap (2) could consist of some gaps (24 and 25) through which a sparking plug which extends vertically on burner plate (1) according to the model of product or a thermic element could pass. These gaps (24 and 25) contribute to restrict the lateral movements of burner tap (2), but it is also observed that settling housings (3) in the mechanism under present invention have satisfactorily fulfilled that function ( Figure 2).
  • centering leg (6) between each sitting leg (23) and the center of burner tap (2).
  • these legs (6) are located on the direction of the same radius.
  • centering and sitting legs (6 and 23) could be in more different positions in comparison with each other; be in different quantity and angular distance within themselves.
  • Each of centering leg (6) has an edge (29) in the same inclination with side wall (30) of mixture chamber (28) ( Figure 4). This edge (29) approaches to inner lateral surface (10) of air-gas mixture chamber ( 28 ) as close as touching it while burner tap (2) is sat into settling housings (3) on burner plate (1) ( Figure 1).
  • Centering legs (6) which are in that close positions to inner surface (10) naturally provide the intersection of burner tap central gap (8) with vertical axis of inferior central gap (18) of air-gas mixture chamber ( 28 ). In other words, when centering legs (6) are leant on inner lateral surface (10) of air-gas mixture chamber (28), then burner tap (2) becomes centered with longitudinal axis of injector (7).
  • centering legs (6) do not necessarily have an inclined edge (29); legs (6) could lean against lateral inner surface (10) of mixture chamber (28) by extending downwards, with their side edges for example ( Figure 6).
  • Figure 6 Several arrangements could be achieved similar to that of shown in Figure 6 as sample, for centering burner tap (2) by centering legs (6) touching or leaning on lateral internal surface (10).
  • Injector holder (4) which is produced by aluminum injection method is securely fixed on burner plate (1) by inserting through that gap (18).
  • Injector holder (4) consists of a sitting surface (22), two centering elements (12) which extend vertically against that surface (22), and a central locking extension (16) ( Figure 5).
  • cylindrical pins are used preferably as centering element (12).
  • claw channels (17) in both sides of the part of locking extension (16) remained within mixture chamber ( 28 ). These channels ( 17 ) serve in securely fixing of injector holder (4) by locking on burner plate (1).
  • injector holder (4) is fixed on burner plate (1), locking extension ( 16 ) is passed through inferior central gap (18) of mixture chamber (28) , and centering pins through pin gaps (19).
  • injector holder (4) is being fixed in such a manner that it could move neither laterally to burner plate (1) nor angularly around its own axis, and being center to air-gas mixture chamber (28).
  • Inner edge of locking sheet (5) consists of locking claws (13) which have an harmonized shape with claw channels (17) on locking extension ( 16 ).
  • Locking sheet (5) is rotated around its own axis for a given degree after it was passed through such claw channels (17). Angle of rotation is limited with detaining edges (14) located on outer edge on the sheet (5) and caused the sheet (5) to be leant against centering pins. Assembling splits (15) it has, provide its getting locked by a simple turning movement, after locking sheet (5) is passed over the centering elements (12) and locking extensions (16), which were passed through inferior central gap (18) ( Figure 3).
