Description

BRULEUR A GAZ POUR APPAREIL CULINAIRE GAS BURNER FOR KITCHEN APPLIANCE
La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements apportés dans le domaine des brûleurs à gaz pour appareil culinaire et plus spécifiquement apportés à ceux de ces brûleurs qui présentent au moins deux, et de préférence trois, couronnes de flammes concentriques, de tels brûleurs comprenant : - un pot de brûleur agencé pour supporter centralement un injecteur de gaz d'axe sensiblement vertical, - une tête de brûleur reposant sur ledit pot en étant écartée au-dessus de celui-ci et comportant une tête centrale avec une couronne centrale de flammes, et . une tête annulaire entourant coaxialement ladite tête centrale et présentant au moins une couronne circonférentielle de flammes, et - des moyens d'amenée de mélange air-gaz auxdites couronnes centrale et circonférentielle de flammes comprenant un orifice central s ' ouvrant dans le fond de la tête centrale coaxialement à 1 ' injecteur, ledit fond étant annulairement incliné radialement vers le bas et vers l'extérieur pour définir, avec un chapeau, une chambre centrale formant venturi annulaire radial, une chambre annulaire dans ladite tête annulaire pour distribuer le mélange air-gaz à ladite au moins une couronne circonférentielle de flammes, et une pluralité de canaux radiaux s 'étendant radialement entre ladite chambre centrale et ladite chambre circonférentielle . Des agencements de brûleur à gaz à deux ou trois couronnes concentriques de flammes sont déjà connus dans la technique (par exemple documents GB 2 233 444, EP 0 552 135, EP 0 797 048, EP 0 903 538) . Tous ces brûleurs sont constitués d'un nombre relativement élevé de pièces constitutives qui nécessitent des matériels appropriés pour leurs fabrications respectives; notamment, s 'agissant de pièces de fonderie (par exemple en alliage d'aluminium) , il est nécessaire de fabriquer autant de moules différents qu'il y a de pièces constitutives, et ces moules sont très onéreux. Or il existe, de la part des fabricants d'appareils de cuisson culinaire, une demande constante de réduction des prix des éléments constituant lesdits appareils, et notamment des brûleurs à gaz. L'invention a donc essentiellement pour but de répondre à cette demande de réduction du prix des brûleurs à gaz à travers une simplification structurelle des brûleurs due à un nombre aussi réduit que possible de leurs pièces constitutives entraînant corrélativement une réduction sensiblement des matériels de fabrication, tout en faisant en sorte que les brûleurs perfectionnés ainsi obtenus dans de meilleures conditions économiques soient aptes à fonctionner de façon au moins aussi efficace que les brûleurs actuels, voire puissent être interchangeables avec ces derniers . A ces fins, l'invention propose un brûleur à gaz tel que mentionné au préambule qui se caractérise, étant agencé selon l'invention, en ce que lesdits canaux possèdent au moins des parois de dessus respectives qui s'étendent entre la tête centrale et la tête annulaire et qui solidarisent celles-ci l'une à l'autre, et lesdits canaux possèdent au moins des parois de fond respectives formées sur des portions en saillie vers le haut dudit pot . Grâce à cet agencement structurel particulier, le brûleur à gaz conforme à l'invention est constitué essentiellement uniquement de deux pièces, à savoir le pot et, reposant sur celui-ci, une pièce unique regroupant la tête centrale et la tête annulaire qui sont solidarisées mécaniquement par les parois de dessus respectives des susdits canaux radiaux délivrant le mélange air-gaz dans la chambre annulaire à partir de la chambre centrale. On obtient ainsi un brûleur à gaz capable de fonctionner dans les mêmes conditions, notamment géométriques et énergétiques, qu'un brûleur actuel, avec toutefois l'avantage d'une simplification structurelle due à la présence de seulement deux pièces constitutives alors qu'un brûleur actuel compte trois, voire quatre pièces constitutives (non comptés les deux chapeaux de la tête centrale et de la tête annulaire respectivement) . Ces deux pièces constitutives, qui présentent des formes complexes (surtout la tête de brûleur) , peuvent très avantageusement être des pièces de fonderie, notamment en alliage d'aluminium. Seuls deux moules sont alors à prévoir, et il en résulte une économie substantielle sur ce poste de fabrication. En outre les dispositions conformes à l'invention peuvent trouver application aussi bien dans des brûleurs à deux couronnes concentriques de flammes (une pour la tête centrale et une - soit intérieure, soit extérieure - pour la tête annulaire) qu'avantageusement pour des brûleurs à trois couronnes concentriques de flammes (une pour "la tête centrale et deux - respectivement intérieure et extérieure - pour la tête annulaire) . Enfin, et il s'agit là d'un avantage qui est loin d'être négligeable, la structure du brûleur conforme à l'invention permet de réaliser un brûleur de très faible hauteur, particulièrement approprié éventuellement pour équiper des plaques de cuisson ; notamment, une plus grande compacité verticale peut être obtenue en prévoyant un embout d'alimentation en gaz qui soit horizontal et d'étendue radiale et qui soit accolé à la face de dessous du pot pour venir de moulage avec celui-ci. De façon avantageuse, les parois de dessus des canaux sont solidaires de parois latérales respectives des canaux. Ainsi, les parties radiales de liaison entre la tête centrale et la tête annulaire présentent une section en forme approximative de U leur conférant une meilleure résistance mécanique. Dans un mode de réalisation intéressant, on prévoit que la chambre centrale de la tête centrale est située sensiblement plus haut que la chambre annulaire de la tête annulaire, que les canaux sont sensiblement inclinés vers le bas depuis la tête centrale vers la tête annulaire, et que les susdites portions en saillie du pot comportent supérieurement des plans inclinés vers le bas en direction de la périphérie constituant les susdites parois de fond des canaux. Dans ce cas, il est souhaitable que l'inclinaison des parois de fond des canaux soit sensiblement la même que l'inclinaison du fond de la tête centrale, ce grâce à quoi les canaux prolongent l'effetThe present invention relates to improvements made in the field of gas burners for culinary apparatus and more specifically made to those of these burners which have at least two, and preferably three, concentric flame crowns, such burners comprising: - a pot burner arranged to centrally support a gas injector with a substantially vertical axis, - a burner head resting on said pot while being spaced above the latter and comprising a central head with a central ring of flames, and. an annular head coaxially surrounding said central head and having at least one circumferential crown of flames, and - means for supplying air-gas mixture to said central and circumferential crowns of flames comprising a central orifice opening in the bottom of the head central coaxially to the injector, said bottom being annularly inclined radially downwards and outwards to define, with a cap, a central chamber forming a radial annular venturi, an annular chamber in said annular head for distributing the air-gas mixture to said at least one circumferential ring of flames, and a plurality of radial channels extending radially between said central chamber and said circumferential chamber. Gas burner arrangements with two or three concentric rings of flames are already known in the art (for example documents GB 2 233 444, EP 0 552 135, EP 0 797 048, EP 0 903 538). All these burners are made up of a relatively large number of component parts which require appropriate materials for their respective manufacturing; in particular, being foundry parts (for example aluminum alloy), it is necessary to manufacture as many different molds as there are constituent parts, and these molds are very expensive. However, there is a constant demand on the part of manufacturers of cooking appliances for reducing the prices of the elements constituting said appliances, and in particular gas burners. The object of the invention is therefore essentially to meet this demand for reducing the price of gas burners through a structural simplification of the burners due to the smallest possible number of their constituent parts, correspondingly resulting in a significant reduction in manufacturing equipment, while ensuring that the improved burners thus obtained under better economic conditions are able to operate at least as efficiently as current burners, or even can be interchangeable with the latter. For these purposes, the invention provides a gas burner as mentioned in the preamble which is characterized, being arranged according to the invention, in that said channels have at least respective top walls which extend between the central head and the annular head and which join them to each other, and said channels have at least respective bottom walls formed on upwardly projecting portions of said pot. Thanks to this particular structural arrangement, the gas burner according to the invention consists essentially only of two parts, namely the pot and, resting thereon, a single part grouping the central head and the annular head which are secured mechanically via the respective top walls of the above-mentioned radial channels delivering the air-gas mixture into the annular chamber from the central chamber. A gas burner is thus obtained capable of operating under the same conditions, in particular geometric and energetic, as a current burner, with however the advantage of a structural simplification due to the presence of only two component parts while a burner current has three or even four constituent parts (not counting the two caps of the central head and the annular head respectively). These two constituent parts, which have complex shapes (especially the burner head), can very advantageously be foundry parts, in particular made of aluminum alloy. Only two molds are then to be expected, and this results in a substantial saving on this manufacturing station. In addition, the arrangements in accordance with the invention can find application both in burners with two concentric crowns of flame (one for the central head and one - either internal or external - for the annular head) as advantageously for burners with three concentric rings of flames (one for the "central head and two - respectively inner and outer - for the annular head). Finally, and this is an advantage which is far from negligible, the structure of the burner according to the invention makes it possible to produce a burner of very low height, particularly suitable possibly for equipping cooking plates; in particular, a greater vertical compactness can be obtained by providing a gas supply nozzle which is horizontal and of radial extent and which is attached to the underside of the pot to come from molding therewith. Advantageously, the top walls of the channels are integral with respective side walls of the channels. Thus, the radial connecting parts between the central head and the annular head have a cross-section in an approximate U shape giving them better mechanical strength. In an interesting embodiment, provision is made for the central chamber of the central head to be situated substantially higher than the annular chamber of the annular head, that the channels are substantially inclined downwards from the central head to the annular head, and that the above-mentioned projecting portions of the pot have upwardly inclined planes towards the periphery constituting the above-mentioned bottom walls of the channels. In this case, it is desirable that the inclination of the bottom walls of the channels is substantially the same as the inclination of the bottom of the central head, whereby the channels prolong the effect.
Venturi jusqu'à la chambre annulaire de la tête annulaire. Dans un exemple de réalisation concret, on' prévoit que les canaux soient au nombre de quatre disposés sensiblement en croix. L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit de certains modes de réalisation préférés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs) . Dans cette description, on se réfère aux dessins annexés sur lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue éclatée, en perspective de trois quarts par le dessus, d'un brûleur à gaz agencé conformément à 1 ' invention ; - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de trois quarts par le dessous de la tête de brûleur de la figure 1 ; et - les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues en coupe diamétrale, respectivement selon les lignes III-III et IV- IV, du brûleur de la figure 1. En se reportant maintenant à l'ensemble des figures 1 à 4, le brûleur à gaz qui y est représenté comprend essentiellement : deux pièces constitutives principales, à savoir une pièce inférieure ou pot de brûleur 1 propre à être fixé (par exemple par des vis) à une plaque d'un appareil de cuisson et une pièce supérieure ou tête de brûleur 2 propre à reposer sur le pot 1 ; deux chapeaux, à savoir un chapeau central 3 de forme discoïdale et un chapeau extérieur 4 de forme annulaire, propres à reposer sur la tête de brûleur 2 ; et diverses pièces accessoires telles qu'une bougie d'allumage électrique 5 et un capteur de présence de flammes à thermocouple 6 fixés par exemple sur des excroissances latérales 7 du pot 1. Le pot de brûleur 1 peut présenter toute conformation d'ensemble souhaitable, avec une portion centrale 8 en forme de cuvette au fond et au centre de laquelle est prévu un alésage 10 borgne d'axe vertical dans lequel est fixé un injecteur de gaz 9. Dans l'alésage borgne 10 débouche un conduit 11 d'étendue sensiblement radiale qui s'étend jusqu'au voisinage du bord périphérique du pot 1. A son extrémité libre, le conduit 11 présente un orifice agencé pour recevoir un embout de raccordement d'une tubulure d'alimentation en gaz. Le pot 1 pouvant avantageusement être une pièce de fonderie, notamment en alliage d'aluminium, le conduit 11 est accolé contre la face inférieure du pot et vient de fonderie avec celui-ci . La tête de brûleur 2 est agencée pour reposer sur le pot de brûleur 1 en restant écartée au-dessus de celui- ci de manière à définir des passages d'air dans des conditions qui seront exposées plus loin. La tête de brûleur 2 comporte : - une tête centrale 12 présentant une paroi périphérique qui est munie d'encoches 13 et qui supporte supérieurement le susdit chapeau central 3, de sorte que cette tête centrale génère une couronne centrale de flammes ; - une tête annulaire 14 entourant coaxialement ladite tête centrale 12 et présentant deux parois latérales respectivement intérieure et extérieure dont l'une au moins (notamment la paroi extérieure) est munie d'encoches 15 .et qui supportent supérieurement le susdit chapeau annulaire 4, de sorte que cette tête annulaire génère au moins une couronne circonférentielle (notamment extérieure) de flammes ; dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, la tête annulaire 14 présente des encoches 15 sur ses deux parois latérales de sorte que sont générées deux couronnes circonférentielles - respectivement intérieure et extérieure - de flammes (brûleur à trois couronnes de flammes) ; et - des moyens d'amenée de mélange air-gaz aux couronnes centrale et circonférentielle (s) de flammes qui sont agencés comme il suit. La tête centrale 12 présente un fond 16 au centre duquel se trouve un orifice d'un puits central défini par un manchon 17 s ' étendant verticalement et coaxialement à l' injecteur 9. Le fond 16 définit, avec la paroi de dessous du chapeau central 3 qui est en vis-à-vis, une chambre centrale 18 formant Venturi annulaire radial ; à cet effet le fond 16 est annulairement incliné radialement vers le bas et en direction de l'extérieur autour de l'orifice central. Une chambre circonférentielle annulaire 19 est définie dans la tête annulaire 14 par les deux parois latérales précitées et la face inférieure du chapeau annulaire 4 et est propre à distribuer le mélangé air-gaz à la couronne circonférentielle ou aux couronnes circonférentielles, intérieure et extérieure, de flammes. Enfin une pluralité de canaux 20 radiaux s'étendent radialement entre ladite chambre centrale 18 et ladite chambre annulaire 19 de manière que 1-es deux chambres 18 et 19 soient mises en communication fluidique l'une avec l'autre et que du mélange air-gaz délivré dans la chambre centrale 18 s'écoule, via les canaux radiaux 20, dans la chambre annulaire 19. Conformément à l'invention, les canaux 20 sont agencés de la façon suivante : les canaux 20 possèdent au moins des parois de dessus 21 respectives qui s'étendent entre la tête centrale 12 et la tête annulaire 14 et qui solidarisent mécaniquement celles-ci l'une à l'autre, et les canaux 20 possèdent au moins des parois de fond 22 respectives définies par des portions 23 en saillie vers le haut du pot 1. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré qui est celui illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, les parois de dessus 21 des canaux 20 sont solidaires des parois latérales 24 des canaux, de sorte que la tête centrale 12 et la tête annulaire 14 sont solidarisées mécaniquement par des entretoises à section en U qui sont mécaniquement beaucoup plus résistantes. Grâce à cet agencement, le brûleur est constitué essentiellement uniquement de deux pièces (non comptés les chapeaux) , à savoir le pot de brûleur 1 et la tête de brûleur 2 réalisée sous forme d'une pièce monobloc regroupant la tête centrale 12 et la tête annulaire 14 solidarisées par au moins les susdites parois de dessus 21 des canaux 20 formant entretoises de liaison. Bien que de forme relativement complexe, la tête de brûleur 2 peut être une pièce de fonderie, notamment en alliage d'aluminium, ne nécessitant qu'un moule unique. Une telle pièce peut être produite en grande série à un coût moindre que celui d'un ensemble de plusieurs pièces. Les entretoises à section en U sont particulièrement bien visibles sur la vue en perspective de dessous de la tête de brûleur 2 illustrée à la figure 2 (sur laquelle les reliefs prévus sur la face de dessous et par lesquels la tête de brûleur 2 repose sur le pot 1 n'ont pas été représentés par souci de simplification). Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré aux figures 1 à 4, les têtes centrale 12 et annulaire 14 sont ainsi agencées que la chambre centrale 18 est située sensiblement plus haut que la chambre annulaire 19. Il en résulte que les canaux 20 sont sensiblement inclinés vers le bas depuis la tête centrale 12 vers la tête annulaire 14. Dans ces conditions, les susdites portions en saillie 23 prévues sur le pot 1 comportent supérieurement des plans inclinés vers le bas en direction de la périphérie qui constituent les susdites parois de fond 22 des canaux 20. Dans ce contexte, il est intéressant que l'inclinaison des parois de fond 22 des canaux (autrement dit l'inclinaison des faces supérieures des portions en saillie 23 du pot 1) soit sensiblement la même que l'inclinaison du fond 16 de la tête centrale, comme cela est particulièrement visible à la figure 3 : ainsi, les canaux prolongent l'effet Venturi jusqu'à la chambre annulaire 19. Dans un exemple de réalisation simple qui semble devoir donner satisfaction pour les applications courantes de ces brûleurs et quelle que soit la puissance (et donc la taille) des brûleurs, les canaux 20 sont au nombre de quatre disposés sensiblement en croix comme visible aux figures 1 et 2. Comme cela ressort clairement de ce qui précède, les dispositions conformes à l'invention conduisent à une structure plus simple et plus économique de brûleurs à gaz à deux, ou avantageusement à trois, couronnes de flammes. En outre, grâce, d'une part, à l'écart vertical entre le pot 1 et la tête de brûleur 2 et, d'autre part, à la mise en œuvre de portions 23 en saillie sur le pot 1 qui sont réparties angulairement en restant distinctes les unes des autres, on définit au sein du brûleur de multiples passages par lesquels l'air peut circuler librement : on réalise ainsi une alimentation efficace en air primaire en direction de l' injecteur 9 situé centralement en même temps que peuvent se créer des courants d'air ascendant pour l'alimentation des diverses couronnes de flammes en air secondaire. Venturi to the annular chamber of the annular head. In a concrete embodiment, it ' provides that the channels are four in number arranged substantially in a cross. The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of certain modes of preferred embodiments given only by way of nonlimiting examples). In this description, reference is made to the appended drawings in which: - Figure 1 is an exploded view, in perspective of three quarters from above, of a gas burner arranged in accordance with one invention; - Figure 2 is a perspective view of three quarters from below of the burner head of Figure 1; and - Figures 3 and 4 are views in diametral section, respectively along lines III-III and IV-IV, of the burner of Figure 1. Referring now to all of Figures 1 to 4, the burner gas represented therein essentially comprises: two main constituent parts, namely a lower part or burner pot 1 suitable for being fixed (for example by screws) to a plate of a cooking appliance and an upper part or head burner 2 suitable for standing on the pot 1; two caps, namely a central cap 3 of discoidal shape and an outer cap 4 of annular shape, suitable for resting on the burner head 2; and various accessory parts such as an electric spark plug 5 and a thermocouple flame presence sensor 6 fixed for example on lateral protuberances 7 of the pot 1. The burner pot 1 can have any desirable overall conformation, with a central portion 8 in the form of a bowl at the bottom and in the center of which is provided a blind bore 10 with a vertical axis in which a gas injector is fixed 9. In the blind bore 10 opens a conduit 11 of substantially extended radial which extends to the vicinity of the edge peripheral of the pot 1. At its free end, the conduit 11 has an orifice arranged to receive a connection end piece for a gas supply pipe. The pot 1 can advantageously be a foundry piece, in particular made of aluminum alloy, the conduit 11 is placed against the underside of the pot and comes from the foundry therewith. The burner head 2 is arranged to rest on the burner pot 1 while remaining apart above it so as to define air passages under conditions which will be explained below. The burner head 2 comprises: - a central head 12 having a peripheral wall which is provided with notches 13 and which supports the above-mentioned central cap 3 above, so that this central head generates a central crown of flames; an annular head 14 coaxially surrounding said central head 12 and having two respectively inner and outer side walls, at least one of which (in particular the outer wall) is provided with notches 15 . and which support the above-mentioned annular cap 4 above, so that this annular head generates at least one circumferential (in particular external) crown of flames; in the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the annular head 14 has notches 15 on its two side walls so that are generated two circumferential rings - interior and exterior respectively - of flames (burner with three crowns of flames); and - means for supplying air-gas mixture to the central and circumferential crowns of flames which are arranged as follows. The central head 12 has a bottom 16 in the center of which is an orifice of a central well defined by a sleeve 17 extending vertically and coaxially to the injector 9. The bottom 16 defines, with the bottom wall of the central cap 3 which is opposite, a central chamber 18 forming a radial annular Venturi; for this purpose the bottom 16 is annularly inclined radially downwards and in the direction of the outside around the central orifice. An annular circumferential chamber 19 is defined in the annular head 14 by the two aforementioned side walls and the underside of the annular cap 4 and is capable of distributing the air-gas mixture to the circumferential crown or to the circumferential crowns, interior and exterior, of flames. Finally, a plurality of radial channels 20 extend radially between said central chamber 18 and said annular chamber 19 so that the two chambers 18 and 19 are placed in fluid communication with each other and that air-mixture gas delivered into the central chamber 18 flows, via the radial channels 20, into the annular chamber 19. According to the invention, the channels 20 are arranged as follows: the channels 20 have at least top walls 21 respective which extend between the central head 12 and the annular head 14 and which mechanically join the latter to each other, and the channels 20 have at least respective bottom walls 22 defined by portions 23 projecting upwards from the pot 1. In a preferred embodiment which is that illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the top walls 21 of the channels 20 are integral with the side walls 24 of the channels, so that the central head 12 and the annular head 14 are mechanically secured by U-section spacers which are mechanically much more resistant. Thanks to this arrangement, the burner consists essentially only of two parts (not counting the caps), namely the burner pot 1 and the burner head 2 produced in the form of a single piece grouping the central head 12 and the head annular 14 secured by at least the above-mentioned top walls 21 of the channels 20 forming connecting spacers. Although relatively complex in shape, the burner head 2 can be a foundry piece, in particular made of aluminum alloy, requiring only a single mold. Such a part can be mass produced at a lower cost than that of a set of several parts. The U-shaped spacers are particularly clearly visible in the perspective view from below of the burner head 2 illustrated in FIG. 2 (on which the reliefs provided on the underside and by which the burner head 2 rests on the pot 1 have not been represented for the sake of simplification). In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the central 12 and annular 14 heads are so arranged that the central chamber 18 is situated substantially higher than the annular chamber 19. As a result, the channels 20 are substantially inclined towards the bottom from the central head 12 towards the annular head 14. Under these conditions, the aforesaid projecting portions 23 provided on the pot 1 have upwardly inclined planes towards the periphery which constitute the aforesaid bottom walls 22 of the channels 20. In this context, it is interesting that the inclination of the bottom walls 22 of the channels (in other words the inclination of the upper faces of the protruding portions 23 of the pot 1) is substantially the same as the inclination of the bottom 16 of the central head, as is particularly visible in Figure 3: thus, the channels extend the Venturi effect to the annular chamber 19. In a simple embodiment which seems to be satisfactory for the current applications of these burners and whatever the power (and therefore the size) of the burners, there are four of the channels 20 arranged substantially in a cross as seen in Figures 1 and 2. As res clearly emerges from the above, the arrangements in accordance with the invention lead to a simpler and more economical structure of gas burners with two, or advantageously three, crowns of flame. In addition, thanks, on the one hand, to the vertical distance between the pot 1 and the burner head 2 and, on the other hand, to the implementation of portions 23 projecting from the pot 1 which are distributed angularly by remaining distinct from one another, multiple passages are defined within the burner through which air can circulate freely: an efficient supply of primary air is thus directed towards the injector 9 located centrally at the same time as can be create rising air currents to supply the various crowns of flame with secondary air.
