The present invention relates to an electric range, and more particularly to a mounting structure of the burner assembly.

In general, the electric range (electric range) is a device for cooking food using an electric heater or a separate heating element as a heat source.

The above-mentioned electric range is generally mounted on the cook-top of an electric oven or the like.

1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an internal structure of a conventional general electric range.

As can be seen through this, the conventional electric range is largely composed of a main body 10, a plurality of burner assembly 20, the power supply 30, the control assembly 40 and the top plate 50.

The main body 10 has a predetermined space for mounting the burner assembly 20, the power supply unit 30, and the control assembly 40 while forming the appearance of the electric range.

And, each burner assembly 20 is provided in the front space and the rear space in the main body 10, respectively, and serves to cook food while generating heat by power supply.

In addition, the power supply unit 30 is provided in the main body and serves to supply power to the burner assembly 20, the control assembly 40, and the like, by receiving external power.

The control assembly 40 is configured to perform operation control of each burner assembly 20 by a user's manipulation.

The top plate 50 is configured to block the space formed by the main body 10 from the outside, and is formed of tempered glass such as ceramic glass.

The burner assembly 20 of each part of the conventional electric range having the above-described series of structures should be in close contact with the bottom surface of the upper plate 50 when the assembly of the product is completed.

This is because the internal temperature of the burner assembly 20 rises to significant high temperatures (approximately 600 ° C. or higher) due to the heat generation of the heater.

That is, when the clearance between the upper surface of the burner assembly 20 and the bottom surface of the upper plate 50 is generated, hot air is introduced into the space in the main body 10 through the gap, so that the control assembly 40 or the power supply unit ( 30) The upper surface of the burner assembly 20 must be in close contact with the upper plate 50 because it damages the back and the like.

In the related art, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of elastic members 60 are provided at the bottom of the burner assembly 20.

At this time, since the elastic member 60 is mounted toward the radial from the central portion of the burner assembly 20, the front circumference of the upper surface of the burner assembly 20 is stably with the bottom of the upper plate 50 Close contact.

However, the mounting structure for the conventional burner assembly 20 described above simply allows the burner assembly 20 to be in close contact with the bottom surface of the upper plate 50, but does not provide a structure for stable fixing.

That is, since the positioning of the burner assembly 20 was not made when assembling the upper plate part 50, the difficulty of accurate assembly was caused.

In addition, since each of the elastic members 60 is simply fastened only one portion to the upper surface of the main body 10, there is also a problem that the elastic member 60 is difficult to adjust the correct position in the direction of the fastening operation during the fastening operation. .

In addition, as described above, since each elastic member 60 is directly fastened to the upper surface of the main body 10, a screw or the like protrudes to the bottom of the main body 10.

At this time, when the screw or the like protrudes to the bottom of the main body 10, because it is difficult to accurately seat the entire set, it is inclined toward either side, causing user dissatisfaction.

Of course, although not shown, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-35924 forms a locking piece formed with a fitting hole on the circumferential surface of the burner assembly, and forms an intermittent pin coupled to the fitting hole on the inner surface of the casing. To prevent the burner assembly from tipping.

However, the above-described prior art also has a problem that the intermittent pins may be separated from the fitting holes of the burner assembly by the elastic force of the support contacting means before the upper plate member is coupled to the upper surface of the casing.

In addition, since the screw for fastening the support adhesion means to the heat shield plate protrudes to the casing through the heat shield plate, there is a problem that the overall shape of the casing has to be rounded downward toward the center side.

Of course, since the prior art is a portable electric range can be provided with the casing, the electric range that is actually applied to the kitchen is extremely difficult to provide the casing.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the object of the present invention is to ensure the close contact between the burner assembly and the top plate, and also to prevent the position variation of the burner assembly during the final assembly of the top plate portion It relates to a burner assembly mounting structure of an electric range.

In addition, another object of the present invention relates to an electric range so that the operation of fixing the burner assembly to the main body can be made smoothly, and a screw or the like for fixing the burner assembly does not protrude more than the bottom of the main body. .
