Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] The embodiment of the present invention provides a gas stove knob that can display the fire power level. Figure 1As shown, it includes a knob mechanism connected to the gas stove valve body 5, the knob mechanism includes a knob assembly 1 provided with a fire power gear code 14, a fixing sleeve assembly 2 that can emit a light source, a fixing seat 3 and an elastic reset member 4, the knob assembly 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 51 on the valve body 5 and is sleeved on the fixing sleeve assembly 2, the fixing seat 3 is arranged below the fixing sleeve assembly 2 and one end is matched with the fixing sleeve assembly 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the valve cover assembly 52 on the valve body 5, and the elastic reset member 4 is arranged between the fixing sleeve assembly 2 and the fixing seat 3 to prevent the fixing sleeve assembly 2 from being separated from the knob assembly 1 and failing to display the fire power gear.

[0028] After adopting the above scheme, by setting the knob assembly 1 provided with the firepower gear code 14 on the fixed sleeve assembly 2 that can emit a light source and setting an elastic reset member 4 between the fixed sleeve assembly 2 and the fixed seat 3, it is effectively achieved that when the user presses down and rotates the knob assembly 1 to ignite cooking, when the knob assembly 1 drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate to a certain position, the light source emitted from the fixed sleeve assembly 2 passes through the knob assembly 1 to illuminate the firepower gear code 14 on the knob assembly 1. This not only effectively achieves the purpose of displaying the specific firepower gear in real time, but also achieves the purpose of allowing the user to know the firepower size at any time during the cooking process.

[0029] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the knob assembly 1 includes a knob body 11 and a knob cover 12. The knob cover 12 is arranged above the knob body 11 and fixedly connected to the knob body 11. At least two grids 13 are provided on the knob body 11, and the knob cover 12 is provided with a firepower gear code 14 matching the number of the grids 13.

[0030] In this way, by setting a grid 13 on the knob body 11 and setting a fire power level code 14 on the knob cover 12 that matches the number of grids 13, when the light source emitted by the fixed sleeve assembly 2 passes through the grid 13 on the knob body 11 to illuminate the level code 14 on the knob cover 12, it is not only possible to display the specific fire power level in real time and let the user know the fire power size at any time during the cooking process, but also it is possible to display only the code of the fire power level when the light source is emitted by the fixed sleeve assembly 2, and there will be no problem of light leakage.

[0031] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing sleeve assembly 2 includes an annular groove 21, a fixing cylinder 22 and an indicator light 23. The fixing cylinder 22 is arranged below the annular groove 21 and is fixedly connected to the annular groove 21. The indicator light 23 is arranged in the annular groove 21 to allow the light it emits to pass through the grid 13 and illuminate the digital symbol 14.

[0032] In this way, by setting an indicator light 23 in the annular groove 21, when the knob assembly 1 is rotated, the light emitted by the indicator light 23 passes through the grid 13 on the knob body 11 to illuminate the gear code 14 on the knob cover 12, thereby allowing the user to know the fire power size at any time during the cooking process.

[0033] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 211 for accommodating the indicator light 23 is provided in the annular groove 21 .

[0034] In this way, by setting a groove 211 in the annular groove 21, the scattering of the light source emitted by the indicator light 23 can be effectively avoided, so that the indicator light 23 is not bright enough when illuminating the gear code 14 on the knob cover 12, thereby causing the problem of unclear display of the firepower gear.

[0035] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, two notches 221 are formed on the side wall of the fixing cylinder 22 , and limiting members 222 are provided in the two notches 221 . The limiting members 222 are connected with the fixing seat 3 .

[0036] Furthermore, a groove or through hole 31 for accommodating the limiting member 222 is provided on the side wall of the fixing seat 3 .

[0037] In this way, by providing a limit member 222 on the side wall of the fixing cylinder 22, and providing a groove or through hole 31 for accommodating the limit member 222 on the side wall of the fixing seat 3, when the user presses down the knob assembly 1 to ignite, the downward displacement of the fixing sleeve assembly 2 relative to the fixing seat 3 is not affected due to the cooperation between the limit member 222 and the groove or through hole 31.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic component 4 is a spring, one end of which passes through the interior of the fixing tube 22 and is connected to the annular groove 21 , and the other end of the spring is connected to the fixing seat 3 .

[0039] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, a positioning groove 213 is also provided on the central side wall of the annular groove 21, and a protrusion is provided on the upper end surface of the fixing seat 3. One end of the spring passes through the fixing tube 22 and is engaged with the positioning groove 213, and the other end is sleeved on the protrusion and abuts against the upper end surface of the fixing seat 3.

[0040] In this way, by engaging one end of the spring with the positioning groove 212 and the other end with the upper end surface of the fixing seat 3, the spring is always in a compressed state, so that the annular groove 21 can always press against the knob body 11, avoiding the problem that the annular groove 21 is separated from the knob body 11 and the fire gear cannot be displayed.

[0041] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided at the center of the knob body 11 , and the fixing groove is engaged with the end of the rotating shaft 51 on the valve body 5 .

[0042] The use process of the gas stove knob that can display the fire power level provided in this embodiment is as follows ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown):

[0043] The user presses down and rotates the knob assembly 1 to ignite. After the ignition is successful, the user continues to rotate the knob assembly 1 until it is turned to the appropriate firepower size. At this time, since the fixed sleeve assembly 2 is not rotatable relative to the knob assembly 1, the light source emitted by the indicator light 23 in the fixed sleeve assembly 2 will pass through one of the multiple grids 13 on the knob body 11 to illuminate the firepower gear code 14 on the knob cover 12, that is, the illuminated firepower gear code 14 is the gear of the current firepower size (for example, when the illuminated firepower gear code is 3, the current firepower size is gear 3). When the user wants to change the current firepower size, he continues to rotate the knob assembly 1 until it is turned to the appropriate firepower size. Another more suitable firepower size, at this time, the light source emitted by the indicator light 23 in the fixed sleeve assembly 2 will pass through another one of the multiple grids 13 on the knob body 11 to illuminate the firepower gear code 14 on the knob cover 12, that is, the illuminated firepower gear code 14 is the gear of the current firepower size after the firepower is changed (for example, when the illuminated firepower gear code is 5 after the firepower is changed, the current firepower size after the firepower is changed is gear 5), and the above process is repeated until cooking is completed; this not only effectively achieves the purpose of displaying the specific firepower gear in real time, but also achieves the purpose of allowing users to know the firepower size at any time during the cooking process.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides a gas stove, comprising a gas stove body, a valve body and the knob described in Example 1. The valve body is arranged in the gas stove body, and the knob body 11 in the knob is connected to the rotating shaft 51 on the valve body 5.

[0046] By applying the gas stove knob capable of displaying the fire power level described in Example 1 to the gas stove body 1 of this embodiment, when the user presses down and rotates the knob assembly 1 in the gas stove knob described in Example 1 to ignite and cook, when the knob assembly 1 drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate to a certain position, the light source emitted from the fixed sleeve assembly 2 passes through the knob assembly 1 to illuminate the fire power level code 14 on the knob assembly 1. This not only effectively achieves the purpose of displaying the specific fire power level in real time, but also achieves the purpose of allowing the user to know the fire power level at any time during the cooking process.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
