Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to a filling-type simple gas oven structure in which multiple gas reservoirs are continuously arranged in the oven body and communicate with each other via gas ways. The total capacity of the oven body for reserving the gas is increased so that the combustion time is prolonged. The gas-filling device of the oven body provides double checking effect and prevents the gas from leaking out of the oven body so as to ensure security.

FIG. 10 shows a conventional simple single-port gas oven. An

annular gas reservoir

90 is formed in the oven body 9. A filling pipe 92 of the gas can 91 can be inserted into a filling gate 93 to connect with a gas-filling device 94 disposed on the bottom of the oven body 9 to fill the gas into the gas reservoir 90. When cooking foods, a rotary switch is used to adjust the amount of the supplied gas. An ignition button is pressed to ignite the gas to cook the foods. Such simple gas oven can be easily carried and operated and thus is popularly used.

However, it is found by the applicant that after the single annular gas reservoir is filled up with the gas, the longest heating time under maximum continuous combustion of such gas oven is only about 20 minutes. The longest heating time under minimum continuous combustion of such gas oven is only about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently fill gas into the oven. Moreover, in the conventional gas oven structure, the gas-

filling device

94 only has single leakproof washer and a cooperative valve block which serve as a check mechanism for preventing the gas from leaking out. However, the filling pipe 92 of the gas can 91 is frequently inserted and extracted so that such check mechanism can hardly durably provide checking effect so that the gas tends to leak out. Accordingly, the conventional oven body 9 has insufficient capacity and thus it is necessary to frequently insert and extract the filling pipe 92 of the gas can 91. This makes the check mechanism very likely to damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a filling-type simple gas oven structure in which multiple gas reservoirs are continuously arranged in the oven body and communicate with each other via gas ways. The total capacity of the oven body for reserving the gas is increased so that the combustion time is prolonged. The gas-filling device of the oven body provides double checking effect and prevents the gas from leaking out of the oven body so as to ensure security.

The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
