  In such an inward flame burner, when the heating power is strong, the flame extends long to the vicinity of the center, and the bottom surface of the cooking container can be heated evenly. However, if the heating power is weakened, the flame and combustion gas will rise immediately, so even the swirl flow will only heat the bottom surface of the cooking vessel in a ring shape, the center will be underheated and uneven burning, etc. May cause poor cooking.

  Therefore, the invention described in claim 1 provides a stove that can always heat the cooking container evenly regardless of the strength of the heating power and does not cause cooking failure even when the inward flame burner is used. It is for the purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, air is supplied from an air supply fan, and air is blown from the upper outer peripheral side of the main body portion of the inward flame burner toward the center thereof. It is characterized by providing a blowing means.
In addition to the object of the first aspect, in order to use the blowing means effectively at a necessary timing, the blowing means is provided with a predetermined heating power selected by the heating power adjusting means. Only air is blown out.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the combustion gas is collected by the air blowing means to the central portion of the cooking container and then spread radially and discharged along the bottom surface of the cooking container, the heating power is weak. The cooking container can be heated evenly including the center. Therefore, cooking defects such as burn unevenness do not occur, and good cooking performance is obtained.
According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, the blowing means can be used effectively at a necessary timing, and the cost can be reduced.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a table stove that is an example of a stove to which the present invention is applied. In the table stove 1, an inward flame burner 4 is disposed in an opening 3 formed in a top plate 2, Above the inward flame burner 4, on the top plate 2, on the top plate 2 is a virtue ring 6 that is open at the center, and on the virtuosity ring 6, an inverted L-shaped gothic claw 7, 7,. The five virtues 5 are set, and the cooking container P can be placed on the five virtue claws 7.
The inward flame burner 4 is connected to an air supply fan 9 for supplying combustion air at the upstream end, and a burner body 8 provided with a gas nozzle 10 for injecting fuel gas in the middle of the air supply path; The ring-shaped burner head 11 is placed on the main body 8. The burner body 8 serves as a mixing tube portion 12 for mixing the combustion air supplied from the air supply fan 9 and the fuel gas ejected from the gas nozzle 10, and a mounting portion for the burner head 11, and an annular mixture chamber. 14 and a main body portion 13 that forms 14.

The mixing tube portion 12 and the main body portion 13 are formed by crimping upper and lower metal plates that are press-formed at the end portions, and a flange portion 15 fixed to the upper end of the mixing tube portion 12 is provided on the lower surface of the main body portion 13. They are integrally connected by caulking and coupling at the position of the formed communication hole 16. Moreover, a juice receiving tray 18 is provided on the lower surface of the main body 13 via a mounting piece 17, and a large number of distribution holes 20, 20. An evenly distributed distribution plate 19 is provided.
The burner head 11 includes a flame mouth forming portion 21 in which a strip-shaped metal plate having a plurality of slit-like flame ports 22, 22... Formed in a cylindrical shape, and a joint welded to the upper end of the flame mouth forming portion 21. The ring-shaped weight member 24 joined by the portion 23 is placed, and the weight member 24 is placed at a predetermined position on the main body portion 13 so that the flame port forming portion 21 is concentric with the main body portion 13 and the inner wall thereof. Are assembled to form Moreover, in each flame mouth 22 of the flame mouth formation part 21, as shown in FIG. 2, a guide plate inclined at a predetermined angle from the radial direction of the flame mouth formation part 21 is provided at the inner edge in the vertical direction as a swirl flow imparting means. 25, 25 ... are extended.

On the other hand, the air supply path from the air supply fan 9 branches into a branch supply path 26 separately from the inward flame outlet burner 4 side, and this branch supply path 26 is above the weight member 24 and the five virtue rings 6. Are connected to a blowing ring 27 as a blowing means set between the two. The blowing ring 27 is a flat hollow ring body having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the flame mouth forming portion 21 of the burner head 11, and as shown in FIG. 28,... Project toward the center. An electromagnetic valve 29 for opening and closing the branch supply path 26 is provided on the branch supply path 26.
A control unit 30 is located upstream of the gas nozzle 10 and serves as a gas supply unit that opens and closes a gas supply path in conjunction with an operation of an ignition button (not shown), and 31 is a gas amount adjustment provided in the control unit 30. The control valve (not shown) is rotated by the slide operation to form a known heating power adjusting means for changing the opening of the gas flow path to the inward flame burner 4. The controller 32 detects the amount, and performs rotation control of the air supply fan 9 and opening / closing control of the electromagnetic valve 29.

  In the table stove 1 configured as described above, when the cooking container P is placed on the virtues 5 and an ignition button (not shown) is pressed, the air supply fan 9 is rotated by the controller 32 and the fuel from the gas nozzle 10 is increased. After the gas is jetted out and flows into the main body 13 through the mixing tube section 12 of the burner body 8 and diffuses evenly in the air-fuel mixture chamber 14 by the distribution plate 19, each flame outlet of the burner head 11. 22 is ejected from the inner circumference side. And, it is ignited by the operation of an igniter (not shown), and flames are formed from the respective flame ports 22. However, since the air-fuel mixture is angled by the guide plate 25, the flames are formed in a spiral shape as a whole. The bottom of the cooking container P is heated. The inward flame burner 4 is forcibly supplied with necessary combustion air by the air supply fan 9, so that a secondary air introduction path is provided between the inward flame burner 4 and the cooking vessel P. It is not necessary to ensure, and the distance between the inward flame burner 4 and the cooking container P can be reduced. Therefore, energy loss is eliminated and thermal efficiency is improved.

  When the thermal power is adjusted by operating the knob 31, the controller 32 controls the rotational speed of the air supply fan 9 in accordance with the selected thermal power so that the air / fuel ratio becomes an appropriate value. When “weak” is selected, the controller 32 opens the electromagnetic valve 29 of the branch supply path 26, and supplies air from the air supply fan 9 to the blowing ring 27. Therefore, as indicated by arrows in FIG. 3, air is blown out horizontally from the outlets 28, 28,. Due to the blowing of air, the combustion gas rises after gathering near the center of the burner head 11, contacts the bottom surface of the cooking container P, moves radially along the bottom surface, and moves along the side surface of the cooking container P. Will rise.

Thus, according to the table stove 1 of the said form, the supply which receives supply of air from the air supply fan 9, and blows off air toward the center direction from the upper outer peripheral side of the main-body part 13 of the inward flame burner 4 is carried out. By providing the ring 27, the combustion gas is collected up to the center of the cooking container P and then spreads radially along the bottom surface of the cooking container P and discharged. Therefore, even if the thermal power is weak, the cooking container P can be heated evenly including the central portion, and cooking failure such as uneven burning does not occur and good cooking performance can be obtained.
In particular, since the air is blown out from the blowing ring 27 only when the flame is short and the heating power is “weak”, the blowing ring 27 can be used effectively at the necessary timing, and the cost can be reduced.

  Note that the number of blowing rings is not limited to one, and a plurality of upper and lower stages may be provided, or not only in the horizontal direction but also in a slightly upward direction. Further, the inner diameter and the outer diameter can be appropriately changed. Furthermore, the design is not limited to a flat hollow body, and a design change such as connecting a small pipe serving as an outlet in a radial direction to a ring-shaped pipe having a circular cross section is also possible.

On the other hand, the blowing means is not necessarily a ring body, and the branch supply path is further divided into a plurality of branches, and a branch pipe having one or a plurality of outlets is provided around the inward flame burner. Then, air may be blown out toward the center.
Further, the timing of using the blowing means such as the blowing ring 27 is not limited to the one that is used only when the heating power is “low” as in the above embodiment, but it is always used when the heating power is “medium” or lower, or conversely, It is also possible to use blowing means over the entire area. In this case, it is desirable that the opening degree of the solenoid valve is changed according to the heating power by the controller so that the blowing strength becomes weaker as the heating power becomes larger.
The stove to be applied is not limited to the table stove, and the present invention can also be applied to a built-in stove incorporated in a kitchen counter or the like.

It is explanatory drawing of a table stove. It is an enlarged view of the flame part of a burner head. It is a top view of a blowing ring.
