Abstract

A kiln includes a stage, a stove, a gas supply assembly, and a combustion device wherein, the stage includes a stage body and a carrier member. The stage body has a first chamber, while the carrier member is detachably disposed at the stage body. The stove is joined to the stage body and has an entry and a second chamber. The gas supply assembly is disposed at the stage body, and part of the gas supply assembly is located in the first chamber. The combustion device is located in the second chamber. The carrier member can be detached from the stage body and be moved out of the stove from the entry so that the first chamber communicates with the second chamber. In this way, the working space inside the kiln can be increased, which is convenient for users to repair and maintain the gas supply assembly or the combustion device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A kiln, comprising:
a stage including a stage body and a carrier member, wherein the stage body has an upper opening and a first chamber which is located therein and communicates with the upper opening; the carrier member is detachably disposed at the stage body and covers the upper opening; wherein the carrier member includes a platen and at least one carrier plate;
a stove having an entry, a lower opening, and a second chamber which is located therein and communicates with the entry and the lower opening; the stove is joined to the stage body, while the lower opening faces the carrier member;
a gas supply assembly disposed at the stage body and communicating with a gas source, and part of the gas supply assembly located at the first chamber; and
a combustion device located at the second chamber and communicating with the gas supply assembly;
a stopper detachably disposed at the stage body and is located at a bottom of the entry; the platen having an outer end, and the stopper located outside the outer end to abut against the outer end of the platen;
wherein, the carrier member can be detached from the stage body and be moved out of the stove from the entry, so that the first chamber communicates with the second chamber.

2. The kiln of claim 1 , wherein the platen is detachably disposed at the stage body and covers the upper opening, while the at least one carrier plate is detachably disposed on the platen.

3. The kiln of claim 1 , wherein the carrier member includes at least one handle connected to the outer end of the platen.

4. The kiln of claim 3 , wherein the stopper has an inner surface which is concavely formed with at least one opening; the at least one handle extends into the at least one opening.

5. The kiln of claim 1 , wherein a top of the stage body includes two joint parts, the upper opening is located between the two joint parts, and each joint part is provided with a first joint member; the stove includes two side walls, the lower opening is located between bottoms of the two side walls, the bottom of each side wall is placed at each joint part and provided with a second joint member; each second joint member is detachably joined to one corresponding first joint member so that the stove is joined to the stage body.

6. The kiln of claim 5 , wherein each joint part includes a joint hole, each first joint member is joined to one corresponding joint hole and has a head; the bottom of each side wall includes a joint frame which has a through hole forming one second joint member; when each first joint member passes through one corresponding through hole and is joined to one corresponding joint hole, the head of each first joint member generates a force pressing downwardly around the corresponding through hole of each joint frame.

7. The kiln of claim 6 , wherein the two joint frames are elongated and extend in the same direction; each through hole includes a first through hole section and a second through hole section in communication with each other along a long axis of each joint frame; a diameter of each first through hole section is greater than a diameter of each second through hole section; an outer diameter of the head of each first joint member is smaller than the diameter of each first through hole section and is greater than the diameter of each second through hole section, and when the head of each first joint member passes through one corresponding second through hole section, the force presses downwardly around the corresponding second through hole section.

8. The kiln of claim 7 , including a plurality of elastic gaskets, wherein each elastic gasket has a fixed section and an elastic section, each fixed section is joined to one corresponding joint frame and is located around one corresponding first through hole section, and each elastic section is located between the head of one corresponding first joint member and one corresponding second through hole section.

9. The kiln of claim 8 , wherein each elastic gasket has a penetrating hole including a first penetrating hole section and a second penetrating hole section which communicate with each other; the outer diameter of the head of each first joint member is smaller than a diameter of each first penetrating hole section and is greater than a diameter of each second penetrating hole section; each first penetrating hole section corresponds to one first through hole section, each second penetrating hole section corresponds to one second through hole section, and each first joint member passes through one corresponding second penetrating hole section and one corresponding second through hole section.

10. The kiln of claim 7 , wherein each joint hole is a threaded hole, each first joint member includes a threaded section joined to one corresponding threaded hole; after loosening each first joint member relative to the corresponding threaded hole, the stove can be moved relative to the stage body along the long axis of each joint frame so that the head of each first joint member is disposed at one corresponding first through hole section.

11. A kiln, comprising:
a stage including a stage body and a carrier member, wherein the stage body has an upper opening and a first chamber which is located therein and communicates with the upper opening; the carrier member is detachably disposed at the stage body and covers the upper opening;
a stove having an entry, a lower opening, and a second chamber which is located therein and communicates with the entry and the lower opening; the stove is joined to the stage body, while the lower opening faces the carrier member;
a gas supply assembly disposed at the stage body and communicating with a gas source, and part of the gas supply assembly located at the first chamber; and
a combustion device located at the second chamber and communicating with the gas supply assembly;
wherein, the carrier member can be detached from the stage body and be moved out of the stove from the entry, so that the first chamber communicates with the second chamber;
wherein a top of the stage body includes two joint parts, the upper opening is located between the two joint parts, and each joint part is provided with a first joint member; the stove includes two side walls, the lower opening is located between bottoms of the two side walls, the bottom of each side wall is placed at each joint part and provided with a second joint member; each second joint member is detachably joined to one corresponding first joint member so that the stove is joined to the stage body;
wherein each joint part includes a joint hole, each first joint member is joined to one corresponding joint hole and has a head; the bottom of each side wall includes a joint frame which has a through hole forming one second joint member; when each first joint member passes through one corresponding through hole and is joined to one corresponding joint hole, the head of each first joint member generates a force pressing downwardly around the corresponding through hole of each joint frame.

12. The kiln of claim 11 , wherein the carrier member includes a platen and at least one carrier plate, the platen is detachably disposed at the stage body and covers the upper opening, while the at least one carrier plate is detachably disposed on the platen.

13. The kiln of claim 12 , comprising a stopper which is detachably disposed at the stage body and is located at a bottom of the entry; the platen having an outer end, and the stopper located outside the outer end.
