Abstract:
A gas burner comprising:a gas valve block, said gas valve block comprising a gas input control part, and a gas output control part, said gas input control part comprising a gas inlet, and an axle hole in communication with the gas inlet, said gas output control part comprising a gas passage in communication with the axle hole of said gas input control part, the gas passage of said gas output control unit comprising a gas input hole, a gas output hole, and a communication hole connected between the gas input hole and the gas output hole; a cock installed in the axle hole of said gas valve block and rotated to close/open the passage between the gas inlet of said gas input control part of said gas valve block and the gas input hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block; a gas nozzle; a flame tube connected to the gas output hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block, said flame tube having a plurality of flame holes; a differential pressure device coupled to the gas output control part of said gas valve block and adapted to close/open the communication hole between the gas input hole and gas output hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block, said differential pressure device defining a right gas chamber disposed in communication with the communication hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block, a left gas chamber, a rubber diaphragm suspended between said right gas chamber and said left gas chamber, a diaphragm rod moved with said rubber diaphragm to close/open the communication hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block, and spring means adapted to force said diaphragm rod into a position of closing the communication hole of said gas output control part of said gas valve block; discharging electrode means; an electronic igniter controlled to discharge sparks through said discharging electrode means for burning fuel gas outputted through said gas nozzle to produce an igniting flame for burning fuel gas outputted through the flame holes of said flame tube; a battery adapted to provide a necessary working voltage to said electronic igniter; a micro-switch controlled by said cock to turn on/off said electronic igniter; a normal-close valve installed in said differential pressure device and electrically connected to said electronic igniter and suitable to be used in a fuel gas passage connected between the left gas chamber of said differential pressure device and said gas nozzle; a normal-open valve installed in said differential pressure device and electrically connected to said electronic igniter and controlled by said micro-switch to control a fuel gas passage between said right gas chamber and said left gas chamber of said differential pressure device; and an induction electrode electrically connected to said electronic igniter, and adapted to detect whether an igniting flame occurs and to output a signal to said electronic igniter and said normal-open valve when no ignition flame at said gas nozzle is detected, for causing said electronic igniter to stop discharging sparks through said discharging electrode means and said normal-open valve to close the passage between said right gas chamber and said left gas chamber.
