GAS IGNITION DEVICE INTEGRATED WITH SOCKET COVER

This invention concerns, instant ignition of gases (natural gas, lpg etc.) with gas ignition device integrated with socket cover which works with battery or mains voltage and ignition of gas with high voltage generated.

Electronic gas ignition devices are being used in almost all cookers and ovens .

In the known solutions, manufacturers use the same conventional method for decades. In this method, at least one high voltage transformer with secondary winding and electronic pulse generator circuit is used. A capacitor which is charged at a certain frequency is discharged over the primary thus energy with high voltage is formed on tips of the secondary winding. This energy is sent to gas burners by insulated special spark plug electrode. Eventually the ignition spark lets the gas burn.

Generation of the higri voltage energy is almost same in all methods but all manufaturers have developed genuine methods for operation principle, manufacturing method and box of the appliance. Common character of all these methods is that the appliance is being manufactured in a box.

Electronic circuits and parts of the operation system are very close in high voltage transformers of electronic gas burner appliances. All parts are mounted into a box and fixed by the help of a spanner wrench or a screw spanner.

Sockets of terminals needed in order to maintain energy to burners are being fixed on the box. Some manufacturer's place these socket of terminals on to the carcass. In some appliances, high voltage transformer is placed in a limited area of the box and electronic circuit is placed to the rest of the area thus oven ignition device is manufactured with separate sections and filled with an insulation material.

These applications do not change operation of the product but competitive technology of the age inevitably needs serial manufacturing and automation.

This invention concerns, .instant ignition of gases (natural gas, lpg etc.) with gas ignition device integrated with socket cover which works with battery or mains voltage and ignition of gas with high voltage generated overcomes all above mentioned problems. And the whole product has a special design with monoblock structure over a socket and made of heat resistant synthetic plastic material.

This method of production makes manufacturing process easy, maintaining easy access for controls. Effective monitoring of possible technical troubles and interference for solution. Electronic gas ignition device integrated with socket cover has two different models, model with a push button and model without a push button.

In this invention, Socket and Socket (model with a push button) (l-la) _v is made of heat resistant synthetic plastic material. Electronic circuit unit and electronic circuit unit (model with a push button) (10-1Oa) and High voltage transformer unit (11) are easily integrated in a monoblock structure.

Socket (1-1 a) has a prism shaped Protrudings of voltage supplier terminal socket (16) on inner surface which helps integration of Electronic circuit unit (10-1Oa) and High voltage transformer unit (11) easily in a monoblock structure. Protrudings of high voltage terminal socket (17) are also found at inner surface of the socket. These are empty and on the middle part of their base; splitted structures are found to fix High voltage terminal (3) and Voltage supplier terminal (4-4a).Empty part is laid externally according to the socket (1-la) and also fixes terminals (3-4-4a). Its depth is sufficient to keep terminals (3-4-4a) in. These empty prisms are called High voltage terminal socket(5) and Voltage supplier terminal socket (6). These (5-6) also help keeping female terminals connected which are being attached to terminals (3-4-4a). High voltage terminal socket and Voltage supplier terminal socket (5-6), socket (1-la) all has a set (29) surrounding them. This set (29), controls depth of socket and socket holes and also avoids liquid flow to the High voltage terminal socket(5) and Voltage supplier terminal socket (6).

Minimum two Voltage supplier terminal socket (6) are found of which Electronic circuit units (10-1Oa) are applied. These terminals are symmetrical. To avoid short circuit of supplier voltage, these symmetrical terminals are separated with Insulation separator (18).

In order to help connection of Voltage supplier terminals (4-4a) to High voltage terminal socket and Voltage supplier terminal socket (5-6), which are specially shaped and installed on to the electronic circuit card (20). Voltage supplier terminal output holes (21) and Voltage supplier terminal socket hole's chamfer (22) also helps easy connection. But the Voltage supplier terminal output holes (21) tightly surrounds Voltage supplier terminal (4-4a) and avoids liquid flow between each other.

Voltage supplier terminals (4-4a) are paralel and symmetrically installed with Electronic circuit card (20), Electronic components (33), Voltage supplier terminal output holes (21) and Socket (Ma).

When voltage supplier terminals (4-4a) installed on electronic circuit card (20), Voltage supplier terminal socket (6) and Voltage supplier terminal output holes (21) are all in same axis and pushed, Voltage supplier terminal and (4-4a) shall rub, supplier terminal output holes (21) and moves to the frontal surface of socket (1-la). supplier terminal output holes (21) are symettrical and paralel each other. Their depth , length are appropriate and conformant with Voltage supplier terminal socket (6). When the proper positioning is achieved than the required insulation distance between soldering surface (31) shall ve valid. ;«

,3 When enough distance between inner surfaces are maintained than Voltage supplier terminal limiting point (30) is coincide with socket base (6).

A primer winding (12), High voltage unit (11); ferrite core (14), seconder winding (13) at is over seconder carcass and high voltage terminals (3). High voltage terminal socket (5) in which (11) is applied are two pieces and their number vary into burners ignited.

High voltage terminal (3) and High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23) are in coordination and symmetrically placed on socket (1-la).

High voltage terminal sotket hole's chamfer (19) is created on High voltage terminal output hole (25) for easier connection of High voltage terminal (3) that has riveted to High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23) and to High voltage terminal socket (5) High voltage terminal output hole (25) sizes are so designed to surround High voltage terminal (3) tightly avoiding liquid flow between High voltage terminal output hole (25) and High voltage terminal (3).

High voltage terminal (3) connected on High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23). When High voltage terminal socket (5) and High voltage terminal output hole (25) at the inner surface are gathered together on the same axis and pressed ; High voltage terminal (3) rubs High voltage terminal output hole (25)'s wall and moves from High voltage terminal socket (5) to exterior side of socket (1-1 a). Thus when the socket is observed (1-la); High voltage terminals (3) in the High voltage terminal socket (5) are symmetrical and paralel. They are conformant with female terminals plugged except their length but so designed not to leave High voltage terminal socket (5). High voltage terminal (3) has their fitting area over High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23). They are fixed by attaching their thin tips over High voltage bobin carcass hole (52). Their tips should contact, Secondary winding (13) and allow soldering of secondary winding by Seconder winding tip point soldering (26). So when High voltage terminal (3) is inserted to their housing on High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23). Thin tips should definitely not be over High voltage bobbin carcass external diameter tangent.

Insulation distance between electronic components and voltage supplier terminal socket hole base (37) is constant between Socket (1-la), Electronic circuit unit (10-1Oa), box (2-2a) , Electronic components (33) and Voltage supplier terminal socket (6) base.

Enough Insulation distance between High voltage bobbin carcass external diameter tangent and socket inner surface (34) is maintained; between High voltage bobbin carcass external diameter tangent (24) and Socket (1-la) when High voltage bobbin carcass knob (23) and High voltage terminal socket (5) meet and The height of High voltage terminal socket (5), from socket (1-la) inner surface is inserted to the housing.

When socket (1-1 a) is integrated to the box (2-2a) and insulation material (9) is filled over gas ignition system , the Insulation distance between High voltage bobbin carcass external diameter tangent and socket inner surface (34) is so designed to avoid any Leakage or short circuit. At least one, hole for filling insulaton material is needed to fill insulation material (9) in.

Box (2-2a) is made of heat resistant synthetic plastic material and surrounds the electronic gas ignitioner electronic components (33). But box (2-2a) inner wall and High voltage bobbin carcass external diameter tangent (24) constitute a distance of insulation. (35) To fix Electronic circuit card (20) in models with a push button, the box (2-a) has an Electronic circuit fixing channel. (40). This channel is found on the same axis with Electronic circuit card fixing part (38). When socket (Ia) is closed on to the box (2a) ; Electronic circuit card (20) is pressed between Electronic circuit fixing channel (40).

Insulation material separator (41) is also found in Electronic circuit fixing channel (40).

Push button adjusting mechanism (42) is mounted on external, side surface of the box

(2-a) and lays to the opposite direction with the device is fitted.

Push button adjusting mechanism's (42) axis is on the same line with Electronic circuit card (20) and Start key. Push button adjusting mechanism (42),made up of Push button body (45), Mobile adaptor (46) and Adaptor spring (47).

Push button body (45) is shaped like a cylinder which is empty inside. And has an

Adaptor spring's hole (48) which adaptor spring (47) can fit. Two Level determination holes (49) are found on side walls which are symmetrical. These holes (49) restrict Mobile adaptor's movement. (46).

Push button wings (43) are also found on Push button body (45). Mechanism adaptor

(46) is shaped like a cylinder which is full inside and has a Level fixing cap (50). Two

Level determination nails (51) can be seen on side surfa^s and off position is maintained by the help of Adaptor spring (47). When Start key (44) is 'ON' (OFF) position, Level determination nail (51) reaches to the highest point of Level determination hole (49) on Push button body (45).

the highest point of Level determination hole (49) on Push button body (45).

When adaptor cap (50) is pushed, Start key is either ON or OFF and voltage reaches or cuts off from Electronic circuit card (20).

Moreover in some models, there is a hole (28) for earthing element (27).

Box (2-2a) is only a cover for integrated circuit elements (53-53a), a housing for insulation material (9), Push button adjusting mechanism's (42) main body, and has nails (7) and knobs on it to fix the appliance to somewhere appropriate.
