Abstract

A burner includes a burner head to receive a mixed gas; and a burner cap to cover the burner head, wherein the burner head includes an outer wall having a plurality of first flame holes through which a flame is discharged, an inner wall located at an inside of the outer wall and having a plurality of second flame holes through which the flame is discharged, and a mixed gas chamber between the outer wall and the inner wall; the burner cap includes a distribution guide to guide a flow of the mixed gas so that the mixed gas flows along a circumferential direction of the mixed gas chamber, and a first portion of the mixed gas flowing along the distribution guide is distributed to the first flame holes, and a second portion of the mixed gas flowing along the distribution guide flows toward the second flame holes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A burner comprising:
a burner head to receive a mixed gas; and
a burner cap to cover the burner head,
wherein the burner head comprises an outer wall having a plurality of first flame holes through which a flame is discharged, an inner wall located at an inside of the outer wall and having a plurality of second flame holes through which the flame is discharged, a mixed gas chamber between the outer wall and the inner wall, and a chamber forming wall which forms a flame staying chamber for containing the flame;
wherein the burner cap comprises a distribution guide to guide a flow of the mixed gas so that the mixed gas in the mixed gas chamber flows in a circumferential direction of the mixed gas chamber, and
wherein a first portion of the mixed gas flowing along the distribution guide is distributed to the plurality of first flame holes, and a second portion of the mixed gas flowing along the distribution guide flows toward the plurality of second flame holes,
wherein the distribution guide protrudes downward from a lower surface of the burner cap, and includes a guide lower surface, a first guide surface to form an inner periphery of the distribution guide, and a second guide surface to form an outer periphery of the distribution guide,
wherein the distribution guide includes a groove for preventing interference with the chamber forming wall,
wherein the groove is recessed from the second guide surface toward the first guide surface, and
wherein when the burner cap is seated on the burner head, the chamber forming wall is located in the groove.

2. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first guide surface and the second guide surface is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical line perpendicular to the lower surface of the burner cap.

3. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the burner head further comprises a mixed gas supply pipe to supply the mixed gas to the mixed gas chamber, and
wherein a width of the guide lower surface is smaller than an inner diameter of the mixed gas supply pipe.

4. The burner according to claim 3 , wherein a part of the guide lower surface, and a part of each of the first and the second guide surfaces are longitudinally overlapped with the mixed gas supply pipe.

5. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the burner head further comprises a plurality of mixed gas supply pipes to supply the mixed gas to the mixed gas chamber, and
wherein the guide lower surface is longitudinally overlapped with each of the plurality of mixed gas supply pipes.

6. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the distribution guide is curved, and includes a first end and a second end spaced apart from each other, and
wherein a circumferential length of the distribution guide is longer than a horizontal distance between the first and the second ends of the distribution guide.

7. The burner according to claim 6 , wherein the burner head further comprises a flame spread passage to spread the flame, and
wherein the flame spread passage is between the first and the second ends of the distribution guide.
