Abstract

Provided is a burner. The burner includes a burner body receiving a gas and air, a burner head seated on the burner body, the burner head including an inner burner head and an outer burner head, and a burner cap seated on the burner body to cover the burner head. An outer flame hole through which a mixture gas is discharged and a flame spread space for spreading flame into the inner burner head are defined on the outer burner head, and an inner flame hole through which the mixture gas is discharged and an ignition hole defined under the inner flame hole are defined on the inner burner head.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A burner comprising:
a burner body to receive a gas and air;
a burner head seated on the burner body, the burner head comprising an inner burner head and an outer burner head; and
a burner cap seated on the burner body to cover the burner head,
wherein the outer burner head includes an outer flame hole through which a mixture gas is discharged and a flame spread space to spread flame into the inner burner head, and
the inner burner head includes an inner flame hole through which the mixture gas is discharged and an ignition hole through which the mixture gas in the inner burner head is discharged to ignite the mixture gas by the flame that is spread by the flame spread space, wherein the ignition hole is disposed under the inner flame hole.

2. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a highest portion of the ignition hole is lower than a highest portion of the flame spread space.

3. The burner according to claim 2 , wherein a highest portion of the inner flame hole is disposed at a height that is equal to or higher than the highest portion of the flame spread space.

4. The burner according to claim 3 , wherein the burner cap comprises:
an inner burner cap to cover the inner burner head; and
an outer burner cap to cover the outer burner head, and
a rib to guide the mixture gas discharged through the inner flame hole to flow downward, wherein the rib is disposed on the inner burner cap.

5. The burner according to claim 2 , wherein a rib to guide the mixture gas discharged from the ignition hole to flow downward is disposed on the inner burner head.

6. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a highest portion of the ignition hole is higher than a highest portion of the flame spread space, and
a rib to guide the mixture gas discharged from the ignition hole to flow downward toward the flame spread space is disposed on the inner burner head.

7. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a rib to guide the mixture gas discharged from the ignition hole downwardly is disposed on the inner burner head, and
a lowest portion of the rib is lower than a highest portion of the flame spread space.

8. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a flame spread hole to discharge the mixture gas into the flame spared space is included in the outer burner head.

9. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the ignition hole is disposed to face the flame spread space.

10. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the burner cap comprises:
an inner burner cap to cover the inner burner head; and
an outer burner cap to cover the outer burner head, and
wherein a sensor to detect whether an object is present above the burner is disposed on the outer burner cap.

11. The burner according to claim 10 , wherein a portion of the inner burner cap is inserted into the burner body.

12. A burner comprising:
a burner body to receive a gas and air;
a burner head seated on the burner body, the burner head comprising an inner burner head and an outer burner head; and
a burner cap seated on the burner body to cover the burner head,
wherein the outer burner head includes an outer flame hole through which a mixture gas is discharged and a flame spread space to spread flame into the inner burner head, and
the inner burner head includes an inner flame hole through which the mixture gas is discharged, an ignition hole through which the mixture gas in the inner burner head is discharged to ignite the mixture gas by the flame that is spread by the flame spread space, and a rib to guide the mixture gas discharged from the ignition hole toward the flame spread space.

13. The burner according to claim 12 , wherein a lowest portion of the rib is lower than a highest portion of the flame spread space.

14. The burner according to claim 12 , wherein the ignition hole is disposed to face the flame spread space.

15. The burner according to claim 12 , wherein the ignition hole is positioned under the inner flame hole.

16. A cooking appliance comprising:
at least one burner,
wherein the at least one burner comprises:
a burner body to receive a gas and air;
a burner head seated on the burner body, the burner head comprising an inner burner head and an outer burner head; and
a burner cap seated on the burner body to cover the burner head,
wherein the outer burner head includes an outer flame hole through which a mixture gas is discharged and a flame spread space to spread flame into the inner burner head, and
the inner burner head includes an inner flame hole through which the mixture gas is discharged and an ignition hole through which the mixture gas in the inner burner head is discharged to ignite the mixture gas by the flame that is spread by the flame spread space, wherein the ignition hole is positioned under the inner flame hole.
