  • the burner cap of the present invention When the burner cap of the present invention is in a maximum fire state, there are flames on all of the outer ring gas outlet on the outer ring cap portion and the first gas outlet and the second gas outlet on the inner ring cap portion.
  • an outer ring gas channel corresponding to the outer ring gas injector is closed, so that the flames on the outer ring cap portion are extinguished, the flames on second gas outlet of the inner ring cap portion are also in an extinguished state, and only the flames on the first gas outlet are maintained.
  • a first advantage of the technical solutions of the present invention is that when the burner cap is in the use state, the inner ring cap portion of the burner can, in the maximum fire state, have a sufficiently high power, to ensure heat efficiency of the entire burner cap, and can, in the minimum fire state, reach a sufficiently low power, to satisfy a demand of a user for a small fire such as melting chocolate, boiling milk, simmering congee, keeping a temperature or making ketchup.
  • a gas cooktop using the burner cap of the present invention has a broader fire or power control range.
  • a burning power of the inner ring cap portion may reach 1000 w, and when the gas cooktop is in the minimum state, flames on the outer ring cap portion are extinguished, the fire power of the inner ring cap portion may be lowered to approximately 100 w.

  • the heat efficiency of the burner of an embodiment of the present invention may reach up to 69 to 70%.
  • the existing burners in the market can only reach, to the best, 64 to 65%.

  • the burner cap base 4 includes three flow diverging portions 420, the outer ring gas inlet 42 is divided by the flow diverging portions 420 into three gas diverging ports 42a, 42b, and 42c, and a gas flow of the outer ring gas inlet 42 is divided into three flows.
  • Each gas guide slot 43 corresponding to a flow diverging portion 420, and each flow diverging portion 420 directly faces a central location of the gas guide slot 43.
  • the flow diverging portion 420 extends along a straight line, and an extending direction of each flow diverging portion 420 overlaps a symmetric axis of the corresponding gas guide slot 43.
  • the extending direction of the flow diverging 420 is perpendicular to a gas flow direction of the gas at the outer ring gas inlet 42. Therefore, a mixture of a part of gas from the gas diverging port 42a and a part of gas from the gas diverging port 42b enters the gas guide slot 43 on the middle upper part of FIG. 9 , and then enters into a groove 47.
  • the description is made from the single perspective of the burner cap base 4.
  • a part of gas from the gas diverging port 42a is mixed with a part of gas from the gas diverging port 42b, and the mixture enters the outer ring gas mixing room 23 through a gas guide channel corresponding to the gas guide slot 43 on the middle upper part of FIG. 9 .
  • descriptions are provided below merely from the perspective of the burner cap base 4.
