Next, the operation of an embodiment of a cooking appliance according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

13 and 14 are operation state diagrams showing the on / off process of the valve assembly in the embodiment of the cooking appliance according to the present invention, Figure 14 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the flow of air in the embodiment of the cooking appliance according to the present invention. to be. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a process of cooking food in the first burner assembly 200 among the first to third burner assemblies 200, 200 ′, 200 ″ will be described.

First, referring to FIG. 13, in a state where the valve 411 of the valve assembly 410 is shielded, the ignition switch 417 is turned off by the first driving lever 416. The flashing switch 418 maintains the on-operation state by the second driving lever 417. Therefore, no gas is supplied to the nozzle assembly 300 (see FIG. 10), no spark is generated in the spark plug 241 (see FIG. 3), and the display lamp 430 (see FIG. 1) is also turned off. Will be maintained.

Referring to FIG. 14, when the user rotates the knob 420 (see FIG. 1) clockwise to open the valve 411, the valve shaft 413 to which the knob 420 is coupled. Rotate clockwise on the drawing. Therefore, the valve 411 is opened to start supplying gas to the nozzle assembly 300. In addition, the gas supplied to the nozzle assembly 300 is mixed with air in the cabinet 100 and supplied to the first burner assembly 200 through the tube assembly 250 in the form of a mixed gas.

In addition, when the knob 420 continues to rotate clockwise in the drawing, the valve shaft 413 also rotates in the clockwise direction in the drawing. When the opening degree of the valve 411 is maximized by the rotation of the knob 420 in the clockwise direction and the rotation of the valve shaft 413 in the clockwise direction, the first drive is performed. The ignition switch 417 is turned on by the lever 415. Accordingly, a current is applied to the spark plug 241 to generate sparks, and the mixed gas supplied to the first burner assembly 200 is ignited and combusted. In addition, when the opening degree of the valve 411 is maximized, the flashing switch 418 is turned off. Accordingly, the display lamp 430 is turned on so that the user can recognize that the mixed gas is being burned in the first burner assembly 200.

As such, when the mixed gas supplied to the first burner assembly 200 is ignited by the spark generated by the spark plug 241, the valve 411 is rotated by turning the knob 420 counterclockwise on the drawing. Adjust the degree of opening. Therefore, substantially the amount of the mixed gas supplied to the first burner assembly 200 is adjusted to control the fire power of the mixed gas combusted in the first burner assembly 200.

Referring to FIG. 14, heat generated while the mixed gas is ignited and combusted in the first burner assembly 200 and the combustion mat 230 is transferred to the top surface of the top glass 520 through the top glass 520. Delivered to a seated container. Thus, the container is heated to cook food contained in the container substantially.

At this time, the combustion of the mixed gas is hindered by the combustion preventing member 231 in the central portion of the combustion mat 230. Therefore, even when a container such as a casserole is seated on the top surface of the top glass 520, a phenomenon in which heat is transferred to a space between the top surface of the top glass 520 and the bottom of the container is prevented. Therefore, heat is concentrated in the space between the top surface of the top glass 520 and the bottom surface of the container, thereby preventing the top glass 520 from being damaged.

Meanwhile, high temperature combustion gas is generated while the mixed gas is burned in the combustion mat 230. Such combustion gas flows through a space formed by the second burner band 265 and the upper barrier 270, that is, through the exhaust flow path Po. The combustion gas is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust hole 620 of the vent grill 600 communicating with the exhaust passage Po. At this time, since the combustion gas is relatively high temperature, the exhaust flow path Po flows by convection and is discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the exhaust hole 620 to the outside of the cabinet 100. The combustion gas discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the exhaust hole 620 is guided forward by the guide part 720 of the connection bracket 700. Therefore, the phenomenon that the combustion gas discharged through the exhaust hole 620 contaminates the rear wall, that is, the wall of the kitchen is prevented.

In addition, the upper barrier 270 is a part of the heat of the combustion gas flowing through the exhaust passage (Po), that is, only the heat enough to heat the food to the top glass 520 corresponding to the upper portion of the exhaust passage (Po) Delivered. Therefore, food can be heated by using a warm zone formed in a part of the top glass 520 corresponding to the exhaust passage Po. In addition, a phenomenon in which heat of the combustion gas flowing through the exhaust passage Po is transferred to the tube assembly 250 by the lower barrier 280 is prevented.

In addition, when the combustion gas is discharged into the room through the exhaust hole 620, the pressure inside the cabinet 100 is relatively lowered. Therefore, the air in the room is formed between the bottom surface of the cabinet 100 and the bottom surface of the second burner vant 265 through the intake hole 610 and the auxiliary intake hole 630 of the vent grill 600. It flows into the cabinet 100 through a flow path Pi. As described above, the air flowing into the cabinet 100 is mixed with the gas injected from the nozzle assembly 300 and supplied to the first burner assembly 200 in the form of a mixed gas. . That is, in this embodiment, the supply of air for the combustion of the gas in the first burner assembly 200 and the discharge of the combustion gas are made by convection according to the temperature difference.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the air inside the installation space 3 of the cabinet 1 in which the cabinet 100 is installed is connected to the cabinet through the cooling holes 110 of the cabinet 100. Air is sucked into the interior of 100 to flow the cooling flow path Pc. As such, the air flowing through the cooling flow path Pc cools the various components constituting the control unit 400 and is discharged through the cooling hole 110.

In the process of opening and closing the doors 5 and 7 of the cabinet 1, a large amount of air may be introduced into the installation space 3 at high pressure. However, in the present embodiment, even though the air introduced into the installation space 3 is introduced into the cabinet 100 through the cooling hole 110, the nozzle assembly 300 is formed by the air barrier 252. The phenomenon of flowing toward the side is prevented. Therefore, the phenomenon that the gas injected from the nozzle assembly 300 is not accurately flowed toward the tube assembly 250 by the air introduced into the cabinet 100 through the cooling hole 110 is prevented.
