Abstract

Provided is a burner including 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 at which a flame is generated, an inner wall located at an inside of the outer wall and having a plurality of second flame holes at which a flame is generated, and a mixed gas chamber defined between the outer wall and the inner wall, and the burner cap includes a distribution guide to guide a flow of the mixed gas so that the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber is evenly distributed in the mixed gas chamber.

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 at which a flame is generated, an inner wall having a plurality of second flame holes at which a flame is generated, and a mixed gas chamber provided between the outer wall and the inner wall, wherein the inner wall is provided at an inside area of the outer wall, wherein the burner cap comprises a distribution guide to guide a flow of the mixed gas so that the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber is substantially evenly distributed in the mixed gas chamber, whereby the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber flows along the distribution guide in a circumferential direction, and a portion of the mixed gas flowing in the circumferential direction is distributed to the plurality of first flame holes of the outer wall, and another portion of the mixed gas flowing in the circumferential direction flows over the distribution guide and toward the plurality of second flame holes of the inner wall.

2 . The burner of claim 1 , wherein the distribution guide protrudes downward from a lower surface of the burner cap, and wherein the distribution guide has a shape that is rounded in a horizontal direction and comprises a first end and a second end that are spaced apart from each other.

3 . The burner of claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of the distribution guide is spaced from a bottom wall to form the mixed gas chamber, the lower surface being located at a lower position than a lowest point of the second flame holes.

4 . The burner of claim 1 , wherein the distribution guide protrudes downward from a lower surface of the burner cap, the distribution guide being located between the inner wall and the outer wall and spaced apart from the inner wall and the outer wall.

5 . The burner of claim 4 , wherein the distribution guide is located closer to the inner wall than to the outer wall.

6 . The burner of claim 5 , wherein the distribution guide comprises:
a guide lower surface; an inner circumferential surface; and an outer circumferential surface, wherein the inner and outer circumferential surfaces connect the guide lower surface with the lower surface of the burner cap, and wherein the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber flows along the outer circumferential surface of the distribution guide in the circumferential direction.

7 . The burner of claim 6 , wherein the outer circumferential surface of the distribution guide is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical line so that the mixed gas flowing along the outer circumferential surface flows over the distribution guide toward the inner circumferential surface thereof.

8 . The burner of claim 6 , wherein the inner circumferential surface of the distribution guide is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical line so that the mixed gas flowing over the distribution guide flows toward the second flame holes.

9 . The burner of claim 1 , wherein the burner head further comprises a mixed gas supply pipe to supply the mixed gas to the mixed gas chamber, and
the burner cap further comprises a distribution protrusion that faces the mixed gas supply pipe and protrudes from a lower surface of the burner cap.

10 . The burner of claim 9 , wherein the distribution protrusion is provided between the distribution guide and the outer wall.

11 . The burner of claim 9 , wherein a protruding height of the distribution guide from the lower surface of the burner cap is higher than the protruding height of the distribution protrusion from the lower surface of the burner cap.

12 . The burner of claim 9 , wherein the burner cap further comprises a flow resistance portion to prevent the mixed gas supplied from the mixed gas supply pipe from being concentrated on the plurality of first flame holes provided adjacent to the mixed gas supply pipe.

13 . The burner of claim 1 , wherein the burner cap further comprises a recessed portion to guide a flow of the mixed gas when the mixed gas flows along the distribution guide in the circumferential direction.

14 . 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 at which a flame is generated, an inner wall having a plurality of second flame holes at which a flame is generated, and a mixed gas chamber provided between the outer wall and the inner wall, wherein the inner wall is provided at an inside area of the outer wall, the burner cap comprises a distribution guide to guide a flow of the mixed gas so that the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber is substantially evenly distributed in the mixed gas chamber, whereby the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber flows along the distribution guide in a circumferential direction, and a lower surface of the distribution guide is located lower than a lowest point of the second flame holes relative to a bottom wall of the mixed gas chamber.

15 . The burner of claim 14 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the distribution guide is located closer to the inner wall than to the outer wall, such that the mixed gas introduced into the mixed gas chamber flows along the outer circumferential surface of the distribution guide.

16 . The burner of claim 14 , wherein a difference in height between the height of the lowest point of the second flame holes relative to the bottom wall of the mixed gas chamber and the height of the lower surface of the distribution guide relative to the bottom wall of the mixed gas chamber is at least 2 mm.

17 . The burner of claim 14 , wherein the distance between the lower surface of the distribution guide and the inner wall of the burner head is at least 1 mm.
