Abstract

A cooking device includes a frame to form a cooking chamber; a burner disposed in the cooking chamber and to generate a flame for supplying heat to the cooking chamber; a burner cover in which the burner is installed and having a plate with an outlet opening through which an air passes; a fan to flow an air of the cooking chamber; and a stabilizer to reduce an influence of the air on a flame of the burner when the air of the cooking chamber passes through the outlet opening of the burner cover by the fan. The stabilizer includes: a body having an opening for air passage; a barrier extended from the body; and a fastening unit for fastening the body to the burner cover, and while the fastening unit is fastened to the burner cover, the body is spaced apart from the plate of the burner cover.

Claims (27)

1. A cooking device comprising:

a frame that forms a cooking chamber;

a burner cover disposed in the cooking chamber, the burner cover defining a combustion chamber;

a burner disposed in the combustion chamber;

a fan that moves the air inside the cooking chamber; and

a stabilizer installed on the burner cover, the stabilizer reducing an influence of the air on a flame of the burner,

wherein the stabilizer comprises a forming unit that is formed in a direction away from the fan to increase a gap between the stabilizer and the fan.

2. The cooking device of claim 1 , wherein the forming unit comprises an opening through which the air passes.

3. The cooking device of claim 2 , wherein a diameter of the opening of the forming unit is less than an outer diameter of the fan.

4. The cooking device of claim 2 , wherein the burner cover comprises:

a first cover covering a front of the burner; and

a second cover covering a rear of the burner,

wherein the stabilizer is installed on the second cover.

5. The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the forming unit is formed in a direction towards the first cover.

6. The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein a diameter of the opening of the forming unit is less than a diameter of a second opening of the second cover.

7. The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the fan is disposed between the second cover and the frame.

8. The cooking device of claim 7 , wherein the forming unit covers a portion of a front surface of the fan.

9. The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the stabilizer further comprises:

a stabilizer body having the opening; and

a stabilizer barrier that extends from the stabilizer body.

10. The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the forming unit is located within an area formed by the stabilizer barrier.

11. The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the stabilizer barrier is extended vertically toward the first cover from the stabilizer body.

12. The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the stabilizer further comprises a stabilizer fastener that attaches the stabilizer body to the second cover.

13. The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the burner further comprises a gas outlet hole, and the stabilizer barrier extends toward the gas outlet hole from the stabilizer body.

14. The cooking device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an assembly cover covering the burner cover, the assembly cover defining an exhaust passage between the assembly cover and a rear wall of the frame.

15. The cooking device of claim 14 , wherein the fan is disposed in the exhaust passage.
