Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas burner, and particularly but not exclusively to a gas burner for use in domestic heating appliances.
  • the burner may be of the 'premix' type, meaning that all of the air required for complete combustion is mixed with the fuel gas prior to combustion.
  • Conventional premix burners include an outer cylindrical wall defining a cavity for receiving a gas and air mixture, and the gas and air mixture passes through apertures in the outer cylindrical wall for combustion.
  • An inner cylindrical wall can be located inside, and secured to, the outer cylindrical wall and a mounting member can be provided to enable the burner to be mounted in a heating appliance.
  • a gas burner including:
  • At least part of the circumferential inner rim may be deformable to provide the radially outwardly extending part and the at least one slot may facilitate deformation to provide the radially outwardly extending part.
  • the circumferential inner rim may include a plurality of said slots extending therearound, and the slots may be equispaced around the circumferential inner rim.
  • the plurality of slots may be arranged so that the circumferential inner rim is defined by a plurality of projections.
  • the projections may be equispaced around the circumferential inner rim.
  • Each projection may include a radially inwardly extending portion which may extend in a radially inwards direction.
  • Each projection may include an axially extending portion and the axially extending portion may extend in an axial direction outwardly away from said one end of the outer substantially cylindrical wall and outwardly away from the internal cavity.
  • Each projection may include a radially outwardly extending portion which may extend in a radially outwards direction.
  • Each projection may have a generally C-shaped configuration and this configuration may be defined by the radially inwardly extending portion, the axially extending portion and the radially outwardly extending portion.
  • Part of the axially extending portion of each of the plurality of projections may be arranged to be deformed in a radially outwards direction, possibly to thereby define the radially outwardly extending portion.
  • the axially extending portions of the plurality of projections may together define the substantially circumferential inner rim of the substantially circular opening in the securing member.
  • the axially extending portions may be arranged to facilitate location of the circular flange of the inner substantially cylindrical wall in the substantially circular opening.
  • the gas burner may include a mounting member, possibly for mounting the gas burner in a heating appliance, and the mounting member may be secured to the burner by the securing member.
  • the mounting member may include a substantially circumferential inner rim which may be located, in use, between the radially inwardly extending portion and the radially outwardly extending portion of each of the plurality of projections to thereby secure the mounting member to the gas burner.
  • each of the plurality of projections may define a circumferential securing channel, and the circumferential inner rim of the mounting member may be located in the circumferential securing channel to secure the mounting member to the gas burner.
  • a gas burner in accordance with any of the preceding definitions of the first aspect of the invention, the method comprising:
  • Step (ii) may include bending the substantially circular flange in a radially outwards direction.
  • Step (ii) may be performed by a deformation operation, such as a spinning operation.
  • the method may comprise locating the substantially circumferential inner rim of the mounting member radially outwardly of the axially extending portion of each of the plurality of projections, and may thereafter comprise performing step (ii), wherein step (ii) may cause deformation of part of the axially extending portion of each of the plurality of projections to form said radially outwardly extending portion.
  • each of the plurality of projections formed by step (ii) may define a circumferential securing channel, and the circumferential inner rim of the mounting member may be located in the circumferential securing channel.
  • a heating appliance including a gas burner according to any of the preceding definitions of the first aspect of the invention or a gas burner manufactured in accordance with any of the preceding definitions of the second aspect of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a gas burner 10 located within a heating appliance including a combustion zone 12 and a heat exchanger 14.
  • the gas burner 10 is of a known design and is described here to facilitate understanding of the present invention, described later with reference to Figs. 2 to 6.
  • the gas burner 10 includes an outer cylindrical wall 16 defining an internal cavity 20 and a concentric inner cylindrical wall 18, for example in the form of a restrictor tube, located inside the internal cavity 20.
  • An end cap 22 is attached to the outer cylindrical wall 16 and closes one axial end of the gas burner 10.
  • a mounting member 24 is attached to the other axial end of the outer cylindrical wall 16 and extends radially outwardly therefrom.
  • the gas burner 10 is attached to a housing 25 of the heating appliance via the mounting member 24.
  • the outer cylindrical wall 16 is provided with a plurality of apertures in the form of flame ports 26, just a few of which are illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • the flame ports 26 are about 0.8mm in diameter and their centres are about 2 to 3mm apart.
  • the flame ports 26 may be arranged evenly over the whole of the outer cylindrical wall 16.
  • a gas and air mixture is fed into the internal cavity 20, and this passes through the flame ports 26 in the outer cylindrical wall 16 to the outer surface 16a thereof and into the combustion zone 12, where combustion takes place.
  • the heat thereby produced is utilised via the heat exchanger 14, with the flue products passing out of the unit as indicated by the arrow A.
  • the inner cylindrical wall 18 is in the form of a restrictor tube, its purpose is to eliminate the interaction of sound pressure waves, created as a result of combustion, with the incoming gas and air mixture to thereby reduce the likelihood of resonance and consequent flame and flow instability.
  • Figs. 2, 5 and 6 illustrate a gas burner 30 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the gas burner 30 is similar to the known gas burner 10 described above, and corresponding components are therefore designated with corresponding reference numerals.
  • the gas burner 30 includes an outer cylindrical wall 16, defining an internal cavity 20 and including a plurality of flame ports 26, and a concentric inner cylindrical wall 18 open at both axial ends thereof, for example in the form of a restrictor tube.
  • the gas burner 30 includes a securing member 32, the purpose of which will be described later in the specification, and this is attached to one of the axial ends 33 of the outer cylindrical wall 16, by a suitable deformation operation, such as spinning, in which the circumferential outer edge 34 of the securing member 32 is bent or folded over the circumferential edge of the of the axial end 33 of the outer cylindrical wall 16.
  • the securing member 32 has a generally annular configuration and includes a circumferential inner rim 36 defining a circular opening 38.
  • the circumferential inner rim 36 includes a plurality of equispaced slots 40 extending therearound and the circumferential inner rim 36 is thus defined by a plurality of equispaced projections 42.
  • each projection 42 is generally L-shaped and includes a radially inwardly extending portion 44 and an axially extending portion 46 which extends in an axial direction outwardly away from the axial end 33 of the outer cylindrical wall 16 and away from the internal cavity 20.
  • the inner cylindrical wall 18 includes a circular flange 48 at an axial end 50 thereof and the flange 48 is locatable inside the circumferential inner rim 36 of the securing member 32 so that it extends through the circular opening 38.
  • the inner cylindrical wall 18 includes a circumferential radially outwardly projecting ridge 52 which partly defines the flange 48 and in particular limits the extent to which the inner cylindrical wall 18 can extend through the circular opening 38.
  • the circular flange 48 is deformed, for example by a spinning operation, to bend it in a radially outwards direction to the position shown in Fig. 6.
  • the projections 42 are also deformed, and in particular the axially extending portion 46 of each projection 42 is bent in the radially outwards direction.
  • Each projection 42 is thus defined by the radially inwardly extending portion 44, part of the original axially extending portion 46 and a radially outwardly extending portion 54, and together these define a circumferentially extending securing channel 56.
  • the radially extending securing channel 56 is to secure the mounting member 24 to the burner 30 without the need for welding or similar operations.
  • the mounting member 24 defines a circumferential inner rim 58 which, when the burner 30 is in the part-manufactured condition, is located adjacent to, and radially outwardly of, the axially extending portions 46 of the projections 42.
  • each projection 42 deforms around the circumferential inner rim 58 to define the radially outwardly extending portion 54, thereby resulting in the formation of the circumferentially extending securing channel 56 with the circumferential inner rim 58 located therein.
  • a securing member 32 having a circumferential inner rim 36 including a plurality of slots 40 provides significant advantages over the prior art.
  • the force required to bend the circular flange 48 of the inner cylindrical wall 18 in the radially outwards direction to secure it to the securing member 32, and to thereby secure the mounting member 24 to the burner 30, is substantially reduced when compared to a securing member without slots.
  • the force required to bend the projections 42 is substantially less than the force that would be required to bend a securing member having a continuous circumferential inner rim defined, for example, by a continuous circumferential radially inwardly extending portion 44 and a continuous circumferential axially extending portion 46.
  • the securing member 32 may include any suitable number of slots 40, and hence projections 42.
  • the projections 42 may have a different configuration to that illustrated in the drawings.
  • the slots 40, and hence projections 42, may not be equispaced.
  • the securing member 32 may be secured to the outer cylindrical wall 16 by a method other than a spinning operation.
