Abstract
A vent and a cooker having a vent are provided for which a built-in component accommodated in the cooker is not easily visible from the outside through an exhaust hole provided in the vent, which enables simple manufacturing and assembly, which can smoothly discharge exhaust gas, and has a function as a support structure of the cooker, and a vent structure thereof. The vent may include a main vent configured to be exposed through an upper portion of the cooker and including a main exhaust surface having main exhaust holes and a sub-vent spaced apart from a lower portion of the main vent and aligned in parallel with the main exhaust surface and including a sub-exhaust surface having sub-exhaust holes.
Claims12
A cooker including a vent configured to be installed at a rear side of an upper surface of the cooker, the vent comprising:
- a main vent configured to be exposed through the upper surface of the cooker and including a main exhaust surface having a plurality of main exhaust holes;
- and
- a sub-vent spaced apart from a lower portion of the main vent and including a sub-exhaust surface having a plurality of sub-exhaust holes, wherein the cooker comprises:
- a first heater housed in the cooker, the first heater being a gas combustion heater having an exhaust duct which extends to a rear portion of the cooker;
- and
- a second heater housed in the cooker adjacent to the first heater, wherein the second heater is not a gas combustion heater, wherein a discharge port is provided at an end of the exhaust duct, and an exhaust gas burned in the first heater is discharged upwardly through the discharge port, wherein the main vent is divided into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the main vent is a portion at an upper surface of the discharge port, wherein the second portion of the main vent is a portion other than the first portion of the main vent, wherein the sub-exhaust surface is positioned at a lower surface of the second portion of the main vent, wherein the discharge port communicates with the first portion of the main vent without communicating with the sub-vent such that the sub-exhaust surface does not face a flow of the exhaust gas discharged through the discharge port to the first portion of the main vent, wherein the sub-vent includes a first sub-vent tab bent up from a first edge of the sub-exhaust surface, wherein a portion of the first sub-vent tab is provided at and extends along an end of the exhaust duct so that the flow of the exhaust gas discharged through the discharge port is guided up along the first sub-vent tab, wherein the sub-vent includes a first sub-vent, and a second sub-vent spaced apart from each other, wherein the first sub-vent and the second sub-vent are connected to each other through a connecting piece, wherein the sub-vent further includes second sub-vent tabs, wherein each of the second sub-vent tabs is provided at each of the first sub-vent and the second sub-vent, and wherein the second sub-vent tabs are provided at and extend along the end of the exhaust duct.
3 more elements
A cooker, comprising:
- a top plate frame to which a top plate is fixed;
- a vent fixed to an inside of a rear end of the top plate frame;
- and
- a case fixed underneath the vent and the top plate frame and having a first cooking heater and a second cooking heater therein, wherein the first cooking heater is a gas combustion heater having an exhaust duct which extends to a rear portion of the case and the second heater is not a gas combustion heater, wherein the vent includes:
- a main vent exposed through an upper surface of the cooker and including a main exhaust surface having a plurality of main exhaust holes;
- and
- a sub-vent spaced apart from the main vent and aligned with the main exhaust surface, and including a sub-exhaust surface including a plurality of sub-exhaust holes, wherein an exhaust gas burned in the first cooking heater is discharged upwardly through a rear end of the exhaust duct, wherein the main vent is divided to a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the main vent is a portion at an upper surface of the rear end of the exhaust duct, wherein the second portion of the main vent is a portion other than the first portion of the main vent, wherein the sub-exhaust surface is positioned at a lower surface of the second portion of the main vent, wherein the rear end of the exhaust duct communicates with the first portion of the main vent without communicating with the sub-vent such that the sub-exhaust surface does not face a flow of the exhaust gas discharged from the rear end of the exhaust duct to the first portion of the main vent, wherein the sub-vent includes a first sub-vent tab bent up from a first edge of the sub-exhaust surface, wherein a portion of the first sub-vent tab is provided at and extends along an end of the exhaust duct so that the flow of the exhaust gas discharged through the rear end of the exhaust duct is guided up along the first sub-vent tab, wherein the sub-vent includes a first sub-vent, and a second sub-vent spaced apart from each other, wherein the first sub-vent and the second sub-vent are connected to each other through a connecting piece, wherein the sub-vent further includes second sub-vent tabs, wherein each of the second sub-vent tabs is provided at each of the first sub-vent and the second sub-vent, and wherein the second sub-vent tabs are provided at and extend along the end of the exhaust duct.
