Description
- The subject matter of the present disclosure relates generally to a gas burner for the cooktop of an appliance.
- Gas burners commonly are used on the cooktops of household gas cooking appliances, including, e.g., range ovens and cooktops built into cabinetry. Because of, e.g., limitations in traditional manufacturing processes, such burners typically are assembled from several separate pieces, such as a burner body, a cap, and a gas conduit. For consistent burner performance, the tolerances and clearance fits for these pieces generally are small, e.g., gaps in the interface between the burner body and the cap, which is placed on top of the burner body, often must be controlled to less than 0.008 inches. These tolerances are difficult to maintain with typical manufacturing processes, such as, e.g., forging and casting.
- Additionally, gas burners commonly are exposed to extremely high temperatures, e.g., between 700° F. and 1100° F., and over time, exposure to such high temperatures can cause the gas burner components to warp. Some materials, such as, e.g., die cast aluminums, can permanently expand with age and exposure to high temperatures. The expansion and/or deformation of burner components can interfere with the performance of the gas burner by altering how the burner components fit together, specifically with respect to the mating of dissimilar materials.
- Accordingly, a gas burner with one or more features for eliminating tolerance and clearance fit issues would be useful. A gas burner having with one or more features for eliminating the use of dissimilar materials would be beneficial.
- The present invention provides a gas burner and a gas burner assembly for an appliance. The gas burner assembly includes a unitary gas burner comprising a body portion, a cap portion, and a gas conduit portion. A plurality of burner ports is defined in the sidewall of the body portion of the unitary gas burner. A gas burner is also provided. The gas burner comprises a body portion, a cap portion, and a gas conduit portion that are segments of a single piece forming the gas burner. Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the following description, or may be apparent from the description, or may be learned through practice of the invention.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a gas burner assembly for a cooktop of an appliance is provided. The gas burner assembly includes a unitary gas burner comprising a body portion having a sidewall and extending between a base section and a top section. The body portion also has an interior surface defining a fuel chamber. The gas burner assembly further includes a cap portion defined at the top section of the sidewall; a plurality of burner ports defined along the sidewall of the body portion; and a gas conduit portion defining a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The gas outlet is positioned adjacent the fuel chamber of the body portion. The gas burner assembly also includes an igniter and a gas supply conduit for supplying gas to the unitary gas burner.
- In another exemplary embodiment, a gas burner for a cooktop of an appliance is provided. The gas burner includes a body portion having a sidewall and extending between a base section and a top section. The body portion also has an interior surface defining a fuel chamber. The gas burner further includes a cap portion defined at the top section of the sidewall; a plurality of burner ports defined along the sidewall of the body portion; and a gas conduit portion defining a gas inlet and a gas outlet.

-
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of acooktop appliance 100 as may be employed with the present subject matter.Cooktop appliance 100 includes atop panel 104. By way of example,top panel 104 may be constructed of glass, ceramics, enameled steel, and combinations thereof.Top panel 104 may be part of a range or other appliance, orpanel 104 may be a stand-alone appliance. - For
cooktop appliance 100, a utensil holding food and/or cooking liquids (e.g., oil, water, etc.) may be placed ontogrates 116 at a location of any of a plurality ofburner assemblies 110. As shown inFIG. 1 ,burner assemblies 110 can be configured in various sizes so as, e.g., to provide for the receipt of cooking utensils (i.e., pots, pans, etc.) of various sizes and configurations and to provide different heat inputs for such cooking utensils.Grates 116 are supported on atop surface 118 oftop panel 104. -
Burner assemblies 110 provide thermal energy to cooking utensils ongrates 116. In particular,burner assemblies 110 extend throughtop panel 104 belowgrates 116.Burner assemblies 110 are also mounted totop panel 104.Burner assemblies 110 provide for combustion of a gaseous fuel to provide heat energy for cooking. - A

Thus, although described in the context ofcooktop appliance 100, the present subject matter may be used in cooktop appliances having other configurations, e.g., a cooktop appliance with one, two, or more additional burner assemblies. Similarly, the present subject matter may be used in cooktop appliances that are part of an oven such as, e.g., range appliances. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of agas burner assembly 110 as may be used withcooktop appliance 100. As shown,gas burner assembly 110 includes aburner 120, an igniter 160, abracket 162, and agas supply conduit 168. Igniter 160 is in electrical communication with an electrical source (not shown, e.g., a power supply of one or more electrical features of cooktop 100) such that igniter 160 selectively creates, carries, or directs a voltage differential that can create an electrical arc that ignites gaseous fuel withinburner assembly 110. Further,bracket 162 has atop surface 164 that faces abottom surface 119 oftop panel 104 and is positioned adjacentbottom surface 119;bracket 162 may be attached or mounted totop panel 104 with one or more appropriate fasteners.Bracket 162 also includes agas line support 166 disposed belowtop surface 164 ofbracket 162 along axial direction A.Gas line support 166 may receive and supportgas supply conduit 168. As is understood by those skilled in the art, such tubing can direct a flow of gaseous fuel (e.g., propane or natural gas) from a fuel source (not shown) togas burner assembly 110. - The configuration of
gas burner assembly 110 is provided by way of example only; other types and configurations of igniters 160,brackets 162, andgas supply conduits 168, as well as different or additional components, may also be used. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-section view ofgas burner 120 as may be used inexemplary burner assembly 110. As may be seen inFIG. 3 ,gas burner 120 includes abody portion 122 integrally formed with agas conduit portion 130 and acap portion 138. Thus,gas burner 120 is a unitary gas burner such that, e.g.,body portion 122,gas conduit portion 130, andcap portion 138 are of a unitary construction, i.e., constructed of a single continuous piece of material. For example,body portion 122,gas conduit portion 130, andcap portion 138 may be segments of a single, continuous piece of a metal or other appropriate material forminggas burner 120, as discussed in greater detail below. -
Body portion 122 is a frustum or frusto-conical shaped portion ofburner 120.Body portion 122 includes asidewall 124 and extending between abase section 126 and atop section 128. That is,sidewall 124 may gradually decrease in circumference frombase section 126 totop section 128.Base section 126 can, e.g., be attached or mounted totop panel 104 ofcooktop 100 with one or more appropriate fasteners, orbase section 126 may rest ontop panel 104 ofcooktop 100. As such,base section 126 may be an external support portion ofbody portion 122, supportingburner 120 ontop panel 104 ofcooktop 100.Body portion 122 may have other shapes, such as, e.g., a cylindrical shape, and configurations as well. -
Sidewall 124 extends around a circumferential direction C ofbody portion 122. Agas conduit portion 130 projects along axial direction A and defines agas inlet 132 and agas outlet 134 for gas flow G. As used herein, “gas” or “gas flow” or “fuel” refers to a combustible gas or gaseous fuel mixture.Gas supply conduit 168 is in fluid communication withgas conduit portion 130 ofunitary gas burner 120 to supply gas flow G from a fuel supply toburner 120, as previously described. - Further,
sidewall 124 defines a plurality ofburner ports 136 that, for this exemplary embodiment, are of differing diameters and are evenly spaced apart from each other along the circumferential direction C. As used herein, port refers to an aperture or opening from which a flame may be supported. As further described below,burner ports 136 may be particularly shaped for ease of fabrication or manufacture ofunitary gas burner 120. Additionally,sidewall 124 may define anindented portion 146 for the receipt of igniter 160. - A
cap portion 138 is received ontotop section 128 ofsidewall 124 ofbody portion 122. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , the circumference ofcap portion 138 is greater than the circumference oftop section 128 ofsidewall 124, andcap portion 138 may be curved about the axial direction A. Afuel chamber 140 is positioned betweencap portion 138 andbody portion 122. More specifically,fuel chamber 140 is defined by aninner surface 142 ofbody portion 122 andcap portion 138. Throughgas outlet 134 andfuel chamber 140,burner ports 136 are in fluid communication with gas flow G ingas conduit portion 130. - As further shown in
FIG. 3 ,cap portion 138 includes aninterior support element 144 that projects along axial direction A intofuel chamber 140 fromcap portion 138.Interior support element 144 may be, e.g., conical or triangular in shape, although other shapes may also be used.Interior support element 144 provides support for additional layers of material added during the three-dimensional printing process, such as, e.g.,cap portion 138. - As described,
burner 120 may be fabricated as a unitary gas burner such that, e.g.,burner 120 is formed of a single continuous piece of metal such as, e.g., a stainless steel or a metal alloy, or other suitable material. More particularly,unitary gas burner 120 may be manufactured or formed using an additive process, such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Laser Net Shape Manufacturing (LNSM), electron beam sintering, three-dimensional printing, and other known processes. An additive process fabricates plastic or metal components using three-dimensional information, for example a three-dimensional computer model, of the component. The three-dimensional information is converted into a plurality of slices, each slice defining a cross section of the component for a predetermined height of the slice. The component is then “built-up” slice by slice, or layer by layer, e.g., by fusing or polymerizing a metallic powder using laser energy or heat, until the component is finished. The component may be fabricated using any suitable additive manufacturing machine. For example, any suitable laser sintering machine, inkjet printer, or laserjet printer may be used. - Various components, facets, features, or portions of
burner 120 may be shaped to facilitate building up each successive layer ofburner 120 during the additive fabrication process without requiring temporary support elements that are needed only to support layers ofburner 120 during fabrication or manufacture ofburner 120. For example,burner ports 136 may be round or triangular in shape, or any other appropriate shape such that each layer is capable of supporting the next successive layer without requiring temporary support elements. That is,burner ports 136 are of a shape that gradually changes along the axial direction A to form a closed shape. Thus,burner ports 136 may be formed using an additive process without requiring removal of material, such as temporary support elements, after the additive process has been completed. - Similarly, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 3 ,inner surface 142 is curved such thatfuel chamber 140 is generally toroid-shaped. More specifically,inner surface 142 is curved about the circumferential direction C such thatinner surface 142 is curved in multiple planes.Inner surface 142 may have any other appropriate shape such thatfuel chamber 140 is formed without requiring temporary support elements withinchamber 140, i.e., each successive layer ofbody portion 122 andcap portion 138 is supported by the preceding layer to formburner 120 havingfuel chamber 140 as illustrated. Further, in some embodiments, all downward facing surfaces may be curved or at an angle with respect the radial direction R to eliminate the use of temporary support elements that would require removal in post-processing clean up. For example, as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 ,cap portion 138 is curved about the axial direction A. Other portions ofburner 120 may be shaped and/or configured to readily facilitate the fabrication ofburner 120 by an additive process as described. - By avoiding the use of temporary support elements that are needed only to support layers of
burner 120 during fabrication,unitary gas burner 120 requires less material and less post-fabrication clean up time and expense, because no temporary support elements must be removed fromburner ports 136 orfuel chamber 140. However, in some embodiments, support elements may be incorporated into the design ofunitary gas burner 120, and such support elements may not be removed in post-processing clean up. In the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 3 ,interior support element 144 is incorporated into the design ofburner 120 and provides support during the fabrication ofburner 120, specifically with respect to the layers that formcap portion 138. In addition, other embodiments may include external features ofburner 120 that require temporary support elements, which, in contrast to internal temporary support elements, may be easily removed during post-fabrication clean up because they are located externally. In this way, various configurations ofburner 120 may be used that are suitable for fabrication or manufacture using an additive process as described. - Accordingly,
unitary gas burner 120 may have fewer components and/or joints than known gas burners. Specifically,burner 120 may require fewer components becauseburner 120 may be a single piece of continuous metal or other material, e.g., rather than multiple pieces of one or more materials joined or connected together. Thus, becauseburner 120 is constructed as one continuous piece, tolerance and clearance fit issues, e.g., between the burner body and the burner cap, can be eliminated. Also, becauseburner 120 is constructed as one continuous piece of a single material, thermal expansion issues resulting from the use of different materials can be eliminated or avoided. As a result,burner 120 may provide an improved gas burner life cycle, e.g., by retaining the characteristics and pattern of gas flow G over time. - This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods. The patentable scope of the invention is defined by the claims and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they include structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims or if they include equivalent structural elements with insubstantial differences from the literal language of the claims.
