Patent number: 10465903Abstract: A burner comprising a base cup, an annular flame splitter, and a flame cover. The base cup comprises an air inlet channel and two nozzles in communication with the air inlet channel and arranged upwards. The annular flame splitter arranged on the base cup comprises two Venturi tubes respectively arranged opposite the two nozzles. The annular flame splitter is separated from the base cup to form a gap, thus allowing primary air to enter the two Venturi tubes from the gap to be mixed with a fuel gas sprayed into the two Venturi tubes by the two nozzles to form a gaseous mixture. Groove openings are formed on the top of the annular flame splitter in communication with the mixing cavity. The flame cover covers the mixing cavity and limits the groove openings to define the outlet for the gaseous mixture, thus forming a flame ring.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventors: Cheng Wang, Guangwu Wang, Shiping Zhu, Guosheng Shi
