This ignition flame is discharged upward from the ignition chamber 28 through the hole 32 and ignited by the fuel gas ejected from the main flame hole 4a and the auxiliary flame hole 4b.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a flame α as a main flame is formed so as to be discharged from the main flame hole 4a, and a flame α as a supplementary flame is formed so as to be discharged from the supplementary flame hole 4b. by the way,
When the amount of the fuel gas discharged from the main flame holes 4a is increased, the flame α becomes large, and when the fuel gas of the gas discharged from the main flame holes 4a is decreased, the flame α is changed to a small fire.
The flame α is being discharged independently from each of a. However, when the fuel gas is squeezed to an extremely small fire, the number of flames α emitted from the adjacent main flame holes 4a in the communication recess 5 becomes one, and the flow rate of the fuel gas ejected from each main flame hole 4a becomes smaller than that in the conventional case. Even if the amount is reduced, the flame α is not extinguished, and the small fire performance that enables small fire is improved. Actually, as a heat quantity, the small fire performance can be improved by about 70% as compared with the conventional one. As described above, the condition that the number of flames α discharged from the adjacent main flame holes 4a is one is that the main flame holes 4a
When the height of a is L and the interval between adjacent main flame holes 4a is x, it is necessary to satisfy x <L.

Further, in the example of the present embodiment, the flame-retarding holes 4b which are regularly provided in the circumferential direction of the burner have a narrowed flow passage on the inner peripheral side near the annular space 12 and the outlet on the outer peripheral side. Since the flow passage area is large, the flow velocity of the fuel gas ejected from the flame-retarding holes 4b is slow and the shape of the flame hole is such that lifting is unlikely to occur, and the lifting performance when the burner gas amount is increased is improved. . In addition, in the example of the present embodiment,
The flame hole 4 provided in the burner is a combination of the main flame hole 4a and the supplementary flame hole 4b in which the amount of fuel gas ejected is smaller than that of the main flame hole 4a. When designing as a burner that is large and consumes a small amount of fuel gas, the burner that consumes a large amount of fuel gas and the burner base 2 have the same dimensions, and the burner body 1 and the like can be commonly used. Sometimes there is. Further, the characteristics of the burner can be variously changed by changing the shape of the flame-compensating hole 4b and changing the type of combustion performance. For example, in the case of the flame-retarding hole 4b of the present embodiment, although the lifting performance is good but the small fire performance is poor,
When the shape of b is a shape such as a round hole that is difficult to cool, it is a flame-retarding hole 4 having a small fire performance equivalent to or better than the main flame hole 4a.
b can be provided, and a burner with better small fire performance can be obtained.
