Induction range having improved durability by reducing heat tranmission using an induction heating part

Abstract

Disclosed is an induction range having improved durability and a height difference with respect to a cooking vessel. The induction range comprises: an induction heating part for heating a cooking vessel using electromagnetic induction; a glass part formed on an upper portion of the induction heating part; and a circumference part having a shape surrounding the circumference of the glass part and having a height greater than the glass part so as to provide a vertically stepped portion with respect to the glass part.

1 . An induction range having improved durability, comprising:
 an induction heating unit heating a cooking vessel through electromagnetic induction;   a glass portion formed on an upper side of the induction heating unit; and   a circumference portion surrounding a circumference of the glass portion and having a greater height than the glass portion to provide a vertical step between the glass portion and the circumference portion.   
     
     
         2 . The induction range according to  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the glass portion surrounded by the circumference portion comprises an insulating material. 
     
     
         3 . The induction range according to  claim 1 , wherein the glass portion comprises a ceramic or reinforced glass material having heat resistance. 
     
     
         4 . An induction range having improved durability comprising:
 an induction heating unit heating a cooking vessel through electromagnetic induction;   a glass portion formed on an upper side of the induction heating unit;   a circumference portion surrounding a circumference of the glass portion and having a greater height than the glass portion to provide a vertical step between the glass portion and the circumference portion; and   a plurality of support protrusions formed on an upper surface of the circumference portion to contact a bottom surface of the cooking vessel and separating the circumference portion from the cooking vessel.   
     
     
         5 . The induction range according to  claim 4 , wherein a portion of the glass portion surrounded by the circumference portion comprises an insulating material. 
     
     
         6 . The induction range according to  claim 4 , wherein the glass portion comprises a ceramic or reinforced glass material having heat resistance. 
     
     
         7 . The induction range according to  claim 4 , wherein the support protrusions are integrally formed with, or are separately provided to the upper surface of the circumference portion. 
     
     
         8 . The induction range according to  claim 4 , wherein a portion of each of the support protrusions contacting a bottom surface of a cooking vessel comprises an insulating material. 
     
     
         9 . An induction range having improved durability, comprising:
 an induction heating unit heating a cooking vessel through electromagnetic induction;   a glass portion formed on an upper side of the induction heating unit;   a circumference portion surrounding a circumference of the glass portion and having a greater height than the glass portion to provide a vertical step between the glass portion and the circumference portion; and   a plurality of support protrusions formed on an upper surface of the glass portion to contact a bottom surface of the cooking vessel and separating the glass portion from the cooking vessel.   
     
     
         10 . The induction range according to  claim 9 , wherein the support protrusions are formed on the upper surface of the glass portion in an X-shaped pattern. 
     
     
         11 . The induction range according to  claim 9 , wherein the support protrusions are formed on an central upper surface of the glass portion.
