Abstract

A cooking appliance is proposed. The cooking appliance includes a frame ( 60 ) having a cooking chamber, a circulation device (C) provided in the frame ( 60 ) and having a circulation chamber (SA), and a heating device ( 100 ) having a combustion chamber (S 5 ) connected to the circulation chamber (SA) through a connection passage ( 61 a ) of the frame ( 60 ). The heating device ( 100 ) includes a burner case ( 110 ) forming the combustion chamber (S 5 ), and a burner ( 120 ) including a flame hole for generating a flame. The heating device ( 100 ) includes a flame guide ( 140 ) arranged between an upper portion of the flame hole ( 125 ) and the connection passage ( 61 a ). The flame guide ( 140 ) directs secondary air toward a flame. Accordingly, the flame guide ( 140 ) allows stable generation of a flame and simultaneously complete combustion with secondary air supply.

         3 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein a junction part is provided by the flame guide and the burner case spaced apart from each other, and the secondary air is transferred toward the flame via the junction part. 
     
     
         4 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein an air introduction hole is formed open in the flame guide, and the secondary air is transferred from an upper space of the flame guide toward the flame via the air introduction hole. 
     
     
         5 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the flame guide comprises:
 a fixation body coupled to the burner; and   a guide blade extending from the fixation body and arranged between the flame hole and the connection passage,   wherein the guide blade extends in an upward-inclined direction toward the connection passage.   
     
     
         6 . The cooking appliance of  claim 5 , wherein an air introduction hole is formed through the guide blade, and the secondary air is transferred from an upper space of the flame guide toward the flame via the air introduction hole. 
     
     
         7 . The cooking appliance of  claim 5 , wherein a space for a flame to be generated is provided at a lower portion of an end of the guide blade, and a junction part is provided at an upper portion of the end of the guide blade for the secondary air to be joined toward the flame. 
     
     
         8 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein a cooling flow path is formed between the flame guide and a lower portion of the frame, and a heating flow path is formed between the flame guide and a lower portion of the burner case. 
     
     
         9 . The cooking appliance of  claim 2 , wherein a rear bent portion is provided on one end portion of the flow path guide, a flow path entrance end is provided on a lower portion of the frame along an edge of the connection passage, and a cooling flow path partitioned from the heating flow path is formed by the rear bent portion and the flow path entrance end spaced apart from each other. 
     
     
         10 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the flame guide is arranged in an upward-inclined direction from the burner toward the connection passage, and a heating flow path guiding heated air is formed between a lower portion of the flame guide and a bottom surface of the burner case. 
     
     
         11 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the heating device is arranged at the side opposite to the circulation device with the connection passage located therebetween, and the combustion chamber is arranged at a lower portion of the circulation chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising: an outer case containing the frame,
 wherein the heating device comprises a first inlet part open toward a surface of the burner, and   a second inlet part connected to the combustion chamber is provided between the heating device and the outer case.   
     
     
         13 . The cooking appliance of  claim 1 , wherein when air heated by the burner moves from the combustion chamber to the circulation chamber, the combustion chamber has a pressure lower than an external pressure of the heating device. 
     
     
         14 . A cooking appliance comprising:
 a frame in which a cooking chamber is formed;   a circulation device having a circulation chamber therein, the circulation chamber communicating with the cooking chamber;   a burner in which a combustion chamber connected to the circulation chamber is formed, and configured to heat air in the combustion chamber;   a flow path guide provided in the heating device and directing air heated by the combustion chamber into the circulation chamber; and   a flame guide arranged between the burner and the flow path guide,   wherein the flow path guide and the flame guide are connected to each other, and a cooling flow path and a heating flow path partitioned from each other are formed in the combustion chamber.
