Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to cooking stove. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to gas stove burner assembly with modular flame ports.
BACKGROUND
Gas stove burner assemblies are fundamental to modern cooking, providing efficient heat sources for countless households worldwide. However, the traditional manufacturing processes of these assemblies present several challenges. One of the primary challenges is drilling small holes into the burner assembly without damaging it, a painstaking and time-consuming task. Drilling tiny holes on any metal is very difficult as the base material is tough and hard and it limits the choices of base material. Especially brass, cast iron, aluminium is few majorly used base material which have better machinability to drill tiny holes and low thermal stability rather than other materials like Steel, Stainless Steel, Tungsten, etc which have poor machinability high thermal stability . The existing burners are manufactured by casting, forging and press forming processes. Casting the burner assembly with these small holes in place also poses difficulties, increasing production costs and time. Furthermore, the presence of small holes on material like brass, aluminium, cast iron, etc can compromise the durability of the burner assembly. To overcome these limitations, innovative solutions are required to design a gas stove burner assembly that is easier to manufacture, cost-effective, and more durable.
Gas stove burner assemblies typically have a plurality of small holes drilled into them to allow for the flow of fuel mix to support combustion. Further for better efficiency and for different cooking requirements the burners need to be designed with different sizes, surface angles, combination of number of holes, with one or more burner rings, etc. However, manufacturing burners with complicated designs can be difficult and time-consuming, and it can also cost more and requires complicated machines & processes. Additionally, casting the burner assembly with the small holes in place can be challenging.
Some of the manufacturing challenges are drilling Small Holes: Difficulty in achieving precision without damaging the assembly, Labor-intensive and time-consuming process, Increased production costs due to specialized equipment’s and skilled labour, Complex manufacturing processes of base metal and Challenges in life of burner assembly due to limited base material options.
As a result of these limitations, there is a need for a new gas stove burner assembly that is easier to manufacture and more durable.
