Abstract

A cooking appliance includes a cavity to define a cooking chamber, a door to open and close the cooking chamber, a partition plate to partition the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, the partition plate facing the door in the closed state, wherein the door closes the first chamber, a burner provided in the second chamber to burn gas, thereby generating flame, and a fan provided in the second chamber to allow heated air to flow.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cooking appliance comprising:
a cavity to define a cooking chamber;
a door to open and close the cooking chamber;
a partition plate to partition the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, the partition plate facing the door in the closed state, wherein the door closes the first chamber;
a burner provided in the second chamber to burn gas, thereby generating flame;
a burner cover arranged to cover the burner and define a combustion chamber in which the burner is disposed, within the second chamber,
a fan provided in the second chamber to allow heated air to flow, and disposed at an outside of the combustion chamber,
wherein the burner cover comprises:
a first cover including a first plate, a first extension part extending backward from the first plate, and a first coupling part bent from the first extension part, and
a second cover including a second plate, a second extension part extending forward from the second plate, and a second coupling part bent from the second extension part,
the first cover includes a first opening defined on the first plate and the second cover includes a second opening defined on the second plate, wherein the first opening and the second opening are concentrically aligned,
the burner comprises a burner tube having an inner periphery and an outer periphery, wherein a plurality of gas outlet holes are defined on the inner periphery of the burner, wherein the burner extends along the periphery of the first and second openings such that the flame extends from the gas outlet holes into the space defined between the first and second openings,
wherein, when air within the first chamber is introduced into the combustion chamber, the air introduced into the combustion chamber passes through a region in which the inner periphery of the burner is defined.

2. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the burner cover is disposed adjacent to a rear wall of the cavity.

3. The cooking appliance according to claim 2 , wherein the fan is disposed between the rear wall of the cavity and the burner cover.

4. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the burner tube having one end in which a supply part to receive the gas is disposed and an other end that is blocked.

5. The cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein both ends of the burner tube are spaced apart from each other, and the gas within the burner tube flows in one direction from the end in which the supply part is disposed to the end which is blocked.

6. The cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of gas outlet holes are arranged on the inner periphery of the burner tube in a plurality of rows.

7. The cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of gas outlet holes comprise first gas outlet holes arranged in one row and second gas outlet holes arranged in another row, wherein the first gas outlet holes and the second gas outlet holes are disposed in a zigzag form.

8. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the inner or outer periphery of the burner tube has a constant curvature.

9. The cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the inner or outer periphery of the burner tube has a plurality of curvatures different from each other.

10. The cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein among the plurality of gas outlet holes defined on the inner periphery of the burner tube, the gas outlet holes defined on the side of the end that is blocked have a diameter less than that of the gas outlet holes defined on the side of the end having the supply part.

11. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the burner comprises an installation part to install the burner so that the burner is spaced apart from the burner cover.

12. The cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein a support to install an igniter is disposed on the burner cover or the burner.
