A cooking device is provided. The cooking device includes a frame that forms a cooking chamber; a burner provided inside the frame and having a plurality of gas outlet holes; an ignition unit provided inside the frame to ignite a mixed gas discharged from at least one of the plurality of gas outlet holes; and a fixing device to affix a position of the ignition unit with respect to the burner.

A system for igniting a grill can include a solenoid valve, a flame rectification sensor, an igniter, and a control circuit connected to the solenoid valve and the flame rectification sensor. The solenoid valve controls flow of gas to the grill's burner and includes a switch that closes when a handle connected to the switch opens the solenoid valve. The control circuit sends current to the solenoid valve when the switch is closed to hold the solenoid valve open. After the switch closes, the igniter is ignited. After ignition, the control circuit monitors the presence of a flame with a flame rectification sensor. If no flame is detected after a certain amount of time, the control circuit stops sending current to the solenoid valve to close the solenoid valve.

A knob assembly includes a front panel, a knob located at a front side of the front panel and configured to rotate based on operation by a user, a knob shaft that is coupled to the knob and that extends through the front panel, a supporting pipe that receives the knob shaft and that supports the knob shaft, the supporting pipe being configured to maintain a position relative to the front panel, a valve configured to control supply of gas to the appliance, a valve shaft connected to the valve and configured to control the valve to adjust a flow rate of gas based on rotation of the valve shaft, and a joint that couples the knob shaft to the valve shaft and that is configured to transfer at least one of a rotational motion or a linear motion of the knob shaft to the valve shaft.

A decorative device which includes at least one controllable winch (8) which is intended for unwinding and winding up an elongated non-rigid element (4), and the elongated non-rigid element (4) is connected to a respective burner (11) at one end (6) and to the at least one winch (8) at the other end (7), and the burner (11) can be moved down towards the floor (1) and up away from the floor (1) with the unwinding and winding up of the elongated non-rigid element (4), characterised in that the burner (11) can be ignited to generate a flame by means of an igniter via a controller (9) arranged outside the burner (11).

The present disclosure relates to a switching assembly for an ignition circuit of a gas cooker, a switching mechanism including the switching assembly, and a gas cooker including the switching mechanism. The gas cooker includes a gas valve structure configured for the passing through and cutting off of a gas, the gas valve structure includes a plunger and a valve housing, and the switching assembly includes: a permanent magnet carrier configured to be connected to the plunger to move between an initial position and a working position with the plunger; a permanent magnet fixed onto the permanent magnet carrier; a reed switch connected to the ignition circuit via a cable; a sealing structure configured to be provided at a connection segment between the reed switch and the cable so as to protect the connection segment from an environment where the switching assembly is located. When the permanent magnet carrier is in the initial position, a distance between the permanent magnet and the reed switch allows the reed switch to be free from the effect of the permanent magnet; and when the permanent magnet carrier is in the working position, the permanent magnet is close to the reed switch so as to exert a magnetic effect on the reed switch.

A universally applicable regulation function is provided for a gas-operated heating device with more than one burner. The function facilitates start-up, regulation, and deactivation processes. A first valve and a second valve are connected together in a gas-tight manner. The first valve has an ignition lock which closes the main gas flow in the event of an ignition, a thermoelectric ignition fuse, a thermostat, and optionally an integrated pressure regulator. The start-up of the first valve allows the activation and deactivation of the gas flow. The first valve has two gas outlets, a first outlet for connecting the second valve, wherein the first outlet is located downstream of the ignition fuse and the optional pressure regulator and upstream of the thermostat, and a second outlet downstream of the thermostat, the second outlet leading to a first burner. The second valve is a thermostat. The first outlet of the first valve is connected to the inlet of the second valve, and the outlet of the second valve is connected to a second burner.

A decorative device which includes at least one controllable winch (8) which is intended for unwinding and winding up an elongated non-rigid element (4), and the elongated non-rigid element (4) is connected to a respective burner (11) at one end (6) and to the at least one winch (8) at the other end (7), and the burner (11) can be moved down towards the floor (1) and up away from the floor (1) with the unwinding and winding up of the elongated non-rigid element (4), characterised in that the burner (11) can be ignited to generate a flame by means of an igniter via a controller (9) arranged outside the burner (11).

An igniter assembly for a gas cooking appliance is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the igniter assembly may have an igniter that can be removed from and/or inserted into an igniter socket through a surface of a cooking appliance without having to remove the surface of the cooking appliance. Accordingly, when the surface is being cleaned after cooking applications, the igniter can be removed from the surface, thereby eliminating any potential damage to the igniter and allowing the surface to be thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, the igniter can then be re-inserted into the igniter socket through the surface of the cooking appliance without having to remove the surface of the cooking appliance.
