Burning set of barbecue stove
Abstract
A burning set is disclosed for a barbecue stove. The burning set
includes a burner, an igniter and a circular cover. The burner
includes an annular cage, an annular cover, a conductor and a
channel. The annular cage defines vents near an external edge. The
annular cover is installed on the annular cage and made with a
plurality of orifices near an internal edge. The conductor is
formed on the annular cover near the orifices. The channel is
directed in an outward sense of a radial direction from the
conductor. The igniter generates arcs to the conductor. The
circular cover shields the igniter and an internal annular portion
of the annular cover from sauce and juice during barbecuing and

Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a barbecue stove and, more
particularly, to a burner thereof that can easily be cleaned and
can prevent an igniter from getting wet.
[0003] 2. Related Prior Art
[0004] A barbecue is an activity that participants can easily fling
themselves into and communicate with one another. Hence, barbecues
are getting popular. The development of the related devices is
diverse and comprehensive. For example, there are devices ranging
from simple DIY barbecue stoves to full-functional barbecue stoves
operated on fuel ranging from coal to gas. There are various
barbecue stoves devised in view of satisfying different needs of
customers.
[0005] Such full-functional barbecue stoves are used in occasions
where a lot of people take part and a lot of food has to be cooked.
Therefore, such full-functional barbecue stoves are mostly operated
on gas. Existing burners of such full-functional barbecue stoves
are derived from ordinary domestic stoves operated on gas. Such a
burner includes several groups of orifices. In each of the groups,
the orifices are arranged along a circle. The groups are
co-centric. An igniter is positioned outside and near the burner in
order to provide a large area of fire. However, there are some
problems with such a bumer used in a barbecue stove. For example,
there is only a grill, no pan, above such a burner in barbecuing, a
lot of sauce and juice drop onto such a burner. Such a burner is
contaminated, and its orifices are blocked. The evenness of the
fire is affected. Hence, after some time of use, such a burner must
be cleaned. It is however difficult to clean such an igniter. If
washing such an igniter, a user will wet it, and will not be able
to actuate it properly, and will jeopardize the following
barbecuing. There is not any barbecue stove with a burner that can
easily be cleaned and an igniter that can be kept dry during the
cleaning of the burner.
[0006] The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at
least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0007] It is the primary objective of the present invention to
provide a barbecue stove with a burner that can easily be cleaned
and an igniter that can be kept dry during the cleaning of the
burner.
[0008] According to the present invention, a burning set is
disclosed for a barbecue stove. The burning set includes a burner,
an igniter and a circular cover. The burner includes an annular
cage, an annular cover, a conductor and a channel. The annular cage
defines vents near an external edge. The annular cover is installed
on the annular cage and made with a plurality of orifices near an
internal edge. The conductor is formed on the annular cover near
the orifices. The channel is directed in an outward sense of a
radial direction from the conductor. The igniter generates arcs to
the conductor. The circle cover shields the igniter and an internal
annular portion of the annular cover from sauce and juice during
barbecuing and from water during washing.
[0009] Other objectives, advantages and features of the present
invention will become apparent from the following description
referring to the attached drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, shown is a burning set for use in a
barbecue stove according to the preferred embodiment of the present
invention. The burning set includes a burner 1 in the form of a
ring and an igniter 20 encircled by means of the burner 1.
[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, the burner 1 includes an
annular cage 10 and an annular cover 15 positioned on the annular
cage 10 securely by means of riveting. The annular cage 10 and the
annular cover 15 thus define a space.
[0018] The annular cage 10 includes a floor, an external wall on
the floor and an internal wall on the floor. The floor of the
annular cage 10 defines an aperture through which an outlet of a
gas pipe 13 is inserted into the burner 1. The external wall of the
annular cage 10 defines a plurality of vents 11 in the form of a
slit. A gas guide 12 is positioned on the floor of the annular cage
10 around the outlet of the gas pipe 13 in order to distribute gas
evenly in the burner 1. The annular cage 10 is installed on a frame
of a barbecue stove by means of a bracket 14.
[0019] The annular cover 15 includes a ceiling and an internal wall
extending down from and around the ceiling. Formed on the ceiling
of the annular cover 15 is a conductor 16 in and along which a
channel 160 is defined. Defined in the internal wall of the annular
cover 15 is a plurality of orifices 150 for venting a small portion
of the gas that can be ignited by means of the igniter 20.
[0020] A plurality of columns 17 is positioned on the floor of the
annular cage 10. The columns 17 are directed through a space within
the annular cover 15. A circular cover 18 is positioned on the
columns 17. The circular cover 18 is in the form of a flat cone.
The circular cover 18 shields an internal annular portion of the
annular cover 15. Therefore, in barbecuing, sauce and juice drop
onto the annular cover 15 and flow in an outward sense of every
radial direction, and do not affect the igniter 20.
[0021] The igniter 20 is installed within the internal edge of the
annular cover 15 by means of a mount 25. The igniter 20 includes a
working tip 21 directed to the channel 160 of the annular cover 15
of the burner 1. The working tip 21 of the igniter 20 charges the
conductor 16 so that arcs occur between the working tip 21 of the
igniter 20 and the conductor 16 in order to ignite the small amount
of the fuel that vents from the orifices 150. The flame goes from
the orifices 150 to the vents 11 through the channel 160.
[0022] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the igniter 20 is shielded by
means of the burner 1 and the circular cover 18 so that the igniter
20 will not get wet of water when the burning set is washed. The
following operation of the igniter 20 will not be affected. Thus,
the burning set can easily be cleaned without affects on the
following operation of the igniter 20.
[0023] In operation, only an external annular portion of the
annular cover 15 is exposed to the sauce and the juice. The washing
of the burning set can be done on the external annular portion of
the annular cover 15 and will not be hindered by means of the
igniter 20. The igniter 20 will not be wetted.
[0024] The present invention has been described via detailed
illustration of the preferred embodiment. Those skilled in the art
can derive variations from the preferred embodiment without
departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the
preferred embodiment shall not limit the scope of the present
invention defined in the claims.
