An embodiment of the stove of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>
The stove according to the first embodiment uses, for example, a liquid material such as bioethanol as a fuel, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a casing provided with a combustion section 3 for burning the fuel on the surface 2a. The body 2 and the adjustment device 4 that is provided on the surface 2 a of the housing 2 and adjusts the combustion fluid supplied to the combustion unit 3 are provided.

The housing 2 has an accommodation space (not shown) for accommodating fuel formed therein, and communicates with the accommodation space, and the combustion section 3 for vaporizing and discharging the fuel accommodated in the accommodation space is a surface 2a. And has a substantially columnar shape in the present embodiment. The combustion section 3 is provided with a hole 3a communicating with the accommodation space, and the combustion fluid (oxygen in the air) is combined with the vaporized fuel discharged from the hole 3a, whereby the combustion section 3a is connected. At, the fuel is burned and a flame is generated.

The adjusting device 4 adjusts the combustion fluid to the combustion section 3, and is arranged on the surface 2a of the housing 2 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. A plurality of adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c are arranged so as to be surrounded.

For the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c, for example, a ceramic material having heat resistance can be used, and in this embodiment, heat resistant glass is used. By using such a member having transparency, it becomes easier for the user to visually recognize the state of the flame, and the aesthetics of the interior can be improved.

The plurality of adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c are arranged at intervals from the adjacent adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c, and are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the center line of the surface 2a of the housing 2. The gaps provided between the adjoining adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c become the flow passage A, the flow passage B, and the flow passage C, respectively, which move the combustion fluid to the combustion unit 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first flow path A is provided between the first adjusting plate 4a and the second adjusting plate 4b, and the second flow path A is provided between the second adjusting plate 4b and the third adjusting plate 4c. B is provided, and the third flow path C is provided between the third adjusting plate 4c and the first adjusting plate 4a.

At this time, the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c block the advancing direction of at least a part of the flow path A, the flow path B, and the flow path C. In the present embodiment, the advancing direction of the first flow path A is changed. The second adjusting plate 4b blocks the moving direction of the second flow path B, the third adjusting plate 4c blocks the moving direction of the third flow path C, and the first adjusting plate 4a blocks the moving direction of the third flow path C.

With the configuration described above, a part of the combustion fluid supplied from the first flow path A to the combustion section 3 is combined with the fuel vaporized in the combustion section 3, and a part of the combustion fluid contacts the second adjustment plate 4b. Further, a part of the combustion fluid supplied from the second flow path B to the combustion section 3 is combined with the fuel vaporized in the combustion section 3, and a part of the combustion fluid contacts the third adjusting plate 4c. Further, a part of the combustion fluid supplied from the third flow path C to the combustion section 3 is combined with the fuel vaporized in the combustion section 3, and a part of the combustion fluid comes into contact with the first adjustment plate 4a.

In order to prevent the advancing direction of the combustion fluid from being substantially at a right angle, the contact surface is tilted in advance from a position at which it is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the combustion fluid. That is, the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c are adjusted so that the distance from the one end of each of the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c to the combustion part 3 and the distance from the other end of each of the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c are different. Deploy.

In the present embodiment, for example, in the first adjustment plate 4a, the distance from the one side end portion where the third adjustment plate 4c is arranged next to the combustion section 3 is the other side end portion where the second adjustment plate 4b is arranged next. Is arranged so as to be longer than the distance from the combustion section 3 to the combustion section 3, and the second adjustment plate 4b has a distance from the one side end where the first adjustment plate 4a is adjacent to the combustion section 3 to the third side. The adjusting plate 4c is arranged so as to be longer than the distance from the other end located next to the combustion section 3, and the third adjusting plate 4c is the one end located next to the second adjusting plate 4b. The distance from the burner section 3 to the burner section 3 is longer than the distance from the other end portion adjacent to the first adjusting plate 4a to the burner section 3.

By doing so, the combustion fluid that has passed through the third flow path C and is in contact with the first adjustment plate 4a changes its traveling direction to the direction in which the second adjustment plate 4b is arranged, and passes through the first flow path A. The combustion fluid abutting the second adjusting plate 4b changes its traveling direction to the direction in which the third adjusting plate 4c is arranged, and the combustion fluid abutting the third adjusting plate 4c passes through the second flow path B. By changing the traveling direction to the direction in which the first adjusting plate 4a is arranged, counterclockwise convection is generated around the combustion section 3.

Due to the generation of this convection, the flame of the combustion section 3 swirls in a counterclockwise direction, and the shape of the flame of the combustion section 3 changes and draws a spiral.

The stove of the first embodiment configured as described above has a flow passage A, a flow passage B, and a flow passage C for supplying a combustion fluid to the combustion section 3 provided between the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, and 4c. Are arranged so that the advancing directions thereof are blocked by the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c, so that the combustion fluid supplied from the flow paths A, B, C is adjusted by the adjusting plates 4a, 4b, 4c. When it comes into contact with, the direction of travel thereof changes, and convection is performed so as to rotate around the combustion section 3, and the flame of the combustion section 3 rotates spirally due to this convection. With this configuration, the shape of the flame of the combustion section 3 can be changed, and the visual aesthetics of the interior can be obtained.

As a modified example of the stove 1′ of the above-described first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a surface of the adjusting plates 5a, 5b, 5c that is close to the combustion section 3 is curved in a mountain shape. Can be mentioned. In this embodiment, for example, in the first adjusting plate 5a, the distance from the one side end where the third adjusting plate 5c is arranged next to the combustion part 3 is the other side end where the second adjusting plate 5b is arranged next. Is arranged so as to be shorter than the distance from the combustion section 3 to the combustion section 3, and the second adjustment plate 5b is arranged such that the distance from the one side end adjacent to the first adjustment plate 5a to the combustion section 3 is The third adjusting plate 5c is arranged so as to be shorter than the distance from the other end portion adjacent to the third adjusting plate 5c to the combustion section 3, and the third adjusting plate 5c is one side where the second adjusting plate 5b is adjacent to the third adjusting plate 5c. The distance from the end portion to the combustion portion 3 is arranged to be shorter than the distance from the other end portion adjacent to the first adjustment plate 5a to the combustion portion 3.

In the above-described configuration, the combustion fluid supplied from the flow paths A, B, C contacting the curved adjusting plates 5a, 5b, 5c has a curved surface in more directions than in the case of being flat. Since the traveling direction of the flame can be changed, the convection can be generated more smoothly and the shape of the flame can be changed into a spiral shape. In this embodiment, clockwise convection is generated, so clockwise convection can be generated.
