[0035] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 for a first embodiment of a stove core structure of an infrared gas stove. The stove core structure of the infrared gas stove includes a bottom cover 1, the bottom cover 1 has a receiving groove 11, a center of a bottom portion of the receiving groove has a gas through hole 12, the receiving groove 11 of the bottom cover 1 has a guiding plate 2, an infrared ceramic piece 3 is disposed above the guiding plate 2, the infrared ceramic piece 3 is assembled on an opening of the receiving groove 11 of the bottom cover 1, and the infrared ceramic piece 3 has a plurality of holes for gas to flow therethrough. In addition, the infrared ceramic piece 3 is fixed on the opening the bottom cover 1 via an annular top cover 4, and the annular top cover 4 has a hollow-out hole 41 for the infrared ceramic piece 3 to be exposed.

[0036] The guiding plate 2 is elevated in the receiving groove 11, and the guiding plate 2 and the bottom portion of the receiving groove 11 of the bottom cover 1 have the space 6 therebetween so that the gas through hole 12 is non-covered; and a gap 7 which is arranged around the circumferential side of the guiding plate 2 and for the gas to pass therethrough as a main gas flow line, so after the gas passes through the gas through hole 12 and enters the receiving groove 11, the gas passes through the space 6 and flows upward through the gap 7 around the circumferential side of the guiding plate 2. An elevating portion 5 is disposed between the guiding plate 2 and the receiving groove 11 of the bottom cover 1, and an outer diameter of the guiding plate 2 is smaller than an inner diameter of the receiving groove 11 to form the gap 7 which is annular between an outer periphery of the guiding plate 2 and an inner wall of the receiving groove 11.

[0037] The elevating portion 5 is formed by at least two hollow tube bodies 51, the at least two hollow tube bodies 51 are arranged equidistantly corresponding to each other and take the center of the bottom portion of the receiving groove 11 as a circle center, a top end and a bottom end of each said hollow tube body 51 respectively abut against a bottom face of the guiding plate 2 and the bottom portion of the receiving groove 11, the bottom portion of the receiving groove 11 at least has two first lock holes 13 corresponding to the at least two hollow tube bodies 51, and each said first lock hole 13 is for a fixing member 52 to be disposed therethrough from bottom to top, through a tube hole 511 of the hollow tube body 51 and a second lock hole 21 which is preset on the guiding plate 2 and be fixedly screwed with a nut 53 so that a distal end 521 of the fixing member 52 is exposed outside of a bottom face of the bottom cover 1. Therefore, the bottom cover 1, the guiding plate 2 and the elevating portion 5 can be fixedly assembled, and the guiding plate 2 and the infrared ceramic piece 3 have a space therebetween.

[0038] Please refer to FIG. 3 for the stove core structure of the present invention being adapted to a portable gas stove. Firstly, when a user turns on a gas-exhausting adjusting device 8 of the infrared gas stove, and the gas received in a storage groove (not shown) in the stove flows through the gas through hole 12 of the bottom cover 1 and into the receiving groove 11. Since the elevating portion 5 is disposed between the guiding plate 2 and the bottom portion of the receiving groove 11 of the bottom cover 1 to prop the guiding plate 2 to produce the space 6, and the outer periphery of the guiding plate 2 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 have the gap 7 which is annular therebetween, so the gas in the bottom cover 1 can pass through the gas through hole 12, into the receiving groove 11, the space 6, the gap 7, flows upward through the circumferential side of the guiding plate 2 to a circumferential side of the infrared ceramic piece 3, and is exhausted through the tiny holes on the circumferential side of the infrared ceramic piece 3. After an ignition device is ignited, the gas starts to burn to produce fire to heat or cook a food on a utensil placed on the infrared ceramic piece 3. Second, as disclosed in FIG. 2, fire appearing from a periphery of the infrared ceramic piece 3 is greater than fire appearing from a center thereof because an amount of the gas exhausted from the periphery of the infrared ceramic piece 3 is greater than an amount of the gas exhausted from the center thereof.

[0039] Since the circumferential side of the infrared ceramic piece 3 is non-covered by the utensil, so the gas can contact air completely and fully combusted so that the gas exhausted from the periphery of the infrared ceramic piece 3 can be fully combusted and the thermal efficiency is largely elevated. The present invention has been tested by Taiwan Gas Appliance Research and Development Center with the CNS14529 standard, and the result found that monoxide released into the air by the present invention is 0.0084% which is lower than an emission standard 1,400 PPM. Therefore, the stove core release a small amount of monoxide into the air when in use, and the gas is fully combusted, so it is safer and economical for the user to use.
