Abstract

A gas oven configured to use a single cooking cavity being divided into a plurality of individual cooking cavities by mounting a divider at the cooking space. The gas oven includes a forced air supplying device capable of forcedly supplying air to the individual cooking space at an upper portion of the cooking space, and a natural air discharging device capable of naturally discharging waste air of the individual cooking space at a lower portion of the cooking space, when each individual cooking space is shut off by the divider.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A gas oven, comprising:
a body;
a cooking cavity formed inside the body, the cooking cavity divided by a divider detachably mounted in the cooking cavity into a first individual cooking cavity at an upper portion of the body and a second individual cooking cavity at a lower portion of the body;
a first burner provided at the first individual cooking cavity;
a second burner provided at the second individual cooking cavity;
a main air supplying passage to supply air to the second individual cooking cavity; and
a subsidiary air supplying device configured to be controlled to supply air from an outside of the cooking cavity to the first individual cooking cavity according to whether the divider is detached or mounted in the cooking cavity and whether at least one of the first burner and the second burner is operated, the subsidiary air supplying device including an air supplying fan to forcedly move the air.

2. The gas oven of claim 1 , wherein the first burner comprises an inlet hole disposed at an inside the subsidiary air supplying passage.

3. The gas oven of claim 1 , wherein the subsidiary air supplying passage includes an overflow hole, whereby a remaining portion of the air that flows at the inside of the subsidiary air supplying passage escapes to an outside of the subsidiary air supplying passage to flow around the first burner.

4. The gas oven of claim 1 , further comprising:
a main air discharge passage to discharge waste gas from the first individual cooking cavity; and
a subsidiary air discharge device configured to selectively discharge waste air of the second individual cooking cavity.

5. The gas oven of claim 1 , wherein the subsidiary air supplying device further comprises:
a subsidiary air supplying passage; and
an air supplying damper to open/close the subsidiary air supplying passage.

6. The gas oven of claim 5 , wherein when the divider is separated from the cooking cavity and one of the first burner and the second burner is operated, the subsidiary air supplying device shuts off the subsidiary air supplying passage.

7. The gas oven of claim 5 , wherein when a self cleaning of the gas oven is performed, the subsidiary air supplying device shuts off the subsidiary air supplying passage.

8. A gas oven, comprising:
a body;
a cooking cavity formed inside the body;
a divider to divide the cooking cavity into a first individual cooking cavity and a second individual cooking cavity, the divider being detachable;
a first burner provided at the first individual cooking cavity;
a second burner provided at the second individual cooking cavity;
a main air discharge passage to discharge waste gas from the first individual cooking cavity; and
a subsidiary air discharge device configured to be controlled to discharge waste air of the second individual cooking cavity according to whether the divider is detached or mounted in the cooking cavity and whether at least one of the first burner and the second burner is operated,
wherein the subsidiary air discharge device comprises:
a subsidiary air discharge passage to communicate the second individual cooking cavity with an outside of the body; and
an air discharge damper to open/close the subsidiary air discharge passage.

9. The gas oven of claim 8 , wherein the subsidiary air discharge passage is separately provided from the main air discharge passage.

10. The gas oven of claim 8 , wherein the subsidiary air discharge passage joins the main air discharge passage at one point of the main air discharge passage.

11. The gas oven of claim 8 , wherein when the divider is separated from the cooking cavity, the subsidiary air discharge device shuts off the subsidiary air discharge passage.

12. The gas oven of claim 8 , wherein when a self cleaning of the gas oven is being performed, the subsidiary air discharge device shuts off the subsidiary air discharge passage.

13. The gas oven of claim 8 , further comprising:
a main air supplying passage to supply air to the second individual cooking cavity; and
a subsidiary air supplying device to selectively supply air to the first individual cooking cavity.
