Abstract

An infrared ray generation mesh adapted to a combustion device comprising a mesh body which includes a first surface and a second surface positioned back-to-back, and a peripheral edge which has a first part and a second part on opposite sites. Wherein, the mesh body is bent or folded integrally to form a plurality of corrugations, each of the corrugations extending from the first part to the second part; and the mesh body is flame heated to generate infrared rays. Whereby, the infrared ray generation mesh improves accumulation of thermal energy generated by open fire, such that the heating range of infrared rays is getting wider and the infrared intensity per unit area is higher to achieve better heat control.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An infrared ray generation mesh system, comprising:
a burner;
a mesh body including a first surface and a second surface positioned back-to-back and a peripheral edge having a first part and a second part on opposite ends of the peripheral edge, the first and second surfaces being substantially smooth, the mesh body being bent or folded integrally to form a plurality of corrugations, each of the corrugations extending straight from the first part to the second part; and the mesh body being flame heated, by the burner, to thereby to generate the infrared rays and direct the rays onto to an object;
wherein the mesh body has a middle part and two side parts, the two side parts are located respectively on opposite sides of the middle part, the corrugations form a plurality of first crests on the first surface, and the corrugations form a plurality of second crests on the second surface; wherein the plurality of first crests and the plurality of second crests extend in a lengthwise direction, wherein the plurality of first crests and the plurality of second crests run parallel in a substantive orthogonal direction; and
wherein the distances from each of the plurality of first crests to both orthogonally adjacent crests of the plurality of corresponding one of the plurality of second crests on the middle part are larger than the distance from each of the plurality of first crests to both orthogonally adjacent crests of the plurality of second crests on each of the side parts, such that infrared rays emitted by the first surface of the mesh body result in a wider heating range of the system;
wherein the first crests are located on a first reference surface,
wherein the first reference surface is a curved surface, and
wherein the spacing along the first reference surface between two adjacent first crests increases from the middle part toward the side parts.

2. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein cross sections of the corrugations are waved.

3. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein cross sections of the corrugations are serrated.

4. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein the second crests are located on a defined second reference surface.

5. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 4 , wherein the second reference surface is a flat surface.

6. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one fixation bar, wherein the at least one fixation bar is joined to the corrugations.

7. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one fixation bar, wherein the at least one fixation bar penetrates the corrugations.

8. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein a spacing between two adjacent first crests and a spacing between two adjacent second crests are getting larger from the first part toward the second part.

9. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein the corrugations extend along the same direction.

10. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , further comprising a retaining mesh joined to the second part, wherein an angle is formed between the retaining mesh and a long axis of each of the first crests on the mesh body.

11. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 10 , wherein the angle is equal to or greater than 90 degrees.

12. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein a peripheral edge of the mesh body is a rectangular shape, a peripheral edge of the mesh body has four edges, two of the opposite edges form the first part and the second part.

13. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein a peripheral edge of the mesh body is a circular shape, the peripheral edge is divided into two halves, the first part and the second part are located respectively on the two halves.

14. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body has a plurality of holes near the first part.

15. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body has a cover rate per unit area, the cover rate ranges from 43% to 64%.

16. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 15 , wherein the mesh body has a first area and a second area, the mesh body has the cover rate per unit area on the first area and has another cover rate per unit area on the second area, the another cover rate ranges from 43% to 64% and is different from the cover rate.

17. The infrared ray generation mesh system of claim 16 , wherein the cover rate of the first area is smaller than the another cover rate of the second area.
