Burner control system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6221409
A burner control system is described for use with a gas stove having at least one burner and a gas supply conduit for supplying gas to the burner, the burner control system comprising: a solenoid valve in the conduit for controlling the main flow of gas to the burner, the solenoid valve having an open position in which it permits gas flow to the burner and a second position in which it reduces gas flow through the burner; sensing means for providing a first signal when a utensil is on the burner and a second signal when no utensil is on the burner; the sensing means including a switch having first and second states for providing the first and second signals, respectively, and an actuator rod extending between the burner and the switch. The switch is normally in the second state and the actuator rod being engageable and movable by a utensil on the burner to move the switch to the first state to provide the first signal; circuit means responsive to the first signal to move the solenoid valve to the open position where gas can be supplied to the burner and responsive to the second signal to move the solenoid valve to the second position. Gas flows through the solenoid valve to the burner reduced; the switch being below the burner; a shield is mounted on the actuator rod for movement therewith and interposed between the switch and the burner; and mounting means is located entirely beneath the shield and slidably cooperating with the actuator rod for mounting the actuator rod for movement.
