Abstract

A cooking appliance includes a cavity to provide a cooking chamber, a burner disposed within the cooking chamber to generate flame for supplying heat to the cooking chamber, a burner cover on which the burner is installed, the burner cover having an opening through which air within the burner cover passes, a fan to allow the air within cooking chamber to flow, the fan to discharge the air within the burner cover through the opening of the burner cover, and a stabilizer including a barrier to abut the flame of the burner from reaching the fan when the air passes through the opening of the burner cover by operation of the fan.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cooking appliance comprising:
a cavity to provide a cooking chamber;
a burner disposed within the cooking chamber to generate flame to supply heat to the cooking chamber;
a burner cover on which the burner is installed, the burner cover defining a combustion chamber in which the burner is received, and including a first cover provided with a first opening and a second cover provided with a second opening and coupled to the first cover;
a fan to allow the air within cooking chamber to flow, the fan to discharge the air within the burner cover through the second opening of the burner cover; and
a stabilizer coupled to the burner cover and comprising a barrier to abut the flame of the burner from reaching the fan when the air passes through the second opening of the burner cover by operation of the fan,
wherein the stabilizer comprises a body coupled to the second cover,
the burner comprises one or more gas outlet holes, and
the barrier extends from the body to a position that is adjacent to the one or more gas outlet hole of the burner.

2. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more gas outlet holes are defined on an inner periphery of the burner, and
the inner periphery of the burner has a curvature radius greater than a curvature radius of the barrier.

3. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the fan is disposed between the burner cover and a wall of the cavity, and
the stabilizer comprises a forming part formed on a portion of the body in a direction away from the fan to increase a distance between the forming part and the fan.

4. The cooking appliance according to claim 3 , wherein the forming part comprises an opening through which the air passes, and
the opening of the forming part has a diameter less than an outer diameter of the fan.

5. The cooking appliance according to claim 3 , wherein the forming part is disposed within a region defined by the barrier.

6. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the fan is disposed between the burner cover and a wall of the cavity,
the stabilizer further comprises a coupling part coupled to the body, and
the coupling part comprises a forming part formed on a portion of the coupling part in a direction away from the fan to increase a distance between the forming part and the fan.

7. The cooking appliance according to claim 6 , wherein the forming part comprises an opening through which air passes, and
the opening of the forming part has a diameter less than an outer diameter of the fan.

8. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the fan is disposed between the burner cover and a wall of the cavity, and
the burner cover comprises a forming part formed on a portion of the burner cover in a direction away from the fan.

9. The cooking appliance according to claim 8 , wherein the forming part comprises the second opening through which air passes, and
the second opening of the forming part has a diameter less than an outer diameter of the fan.

10. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , comprising a partition plate that partitions the cooking chamber into a first chamber in which a food is accommodated and a second chamber in which the burner cover is disposed, the partition plate being coupled to a wall of the cavity.
