Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated stoves, and in particular to an oil box assembly of an integrated stove, a casing assembly of an integrated stove having the oil box assembly of the integrated stove, an oil storage amount control method of the integrated stove, and an integrated stove having the casing assembly of the integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] The oil collection box of conventional integrated stoves is often placed at the bottom of the housing, out of the user's normal visual range. This can easily lead to users misjudging the grease accumulation within the box, which can lead to overflowing due to inappropriate emptying of the box. Currently, cleaning the oil collection box relies primarily on manual labor. If someone forgets, the oil and water in the box will overflow, leaving the floor covered in oil and water, making it extremely difficult to clean.

[0003] To this end, some detection structures have emerged, including liquid level sensors, pressure sensors, photoelectric sensors, and gravity sensors. However, due to the high viscosity of oil, liquid level sensors can fail, especially in winter when the oil solidifies due to low temperatures. Existing gravity sensors are complex and costly, and they weigh the entire oil collection box, requiring a clearance for deformation. Pressure sensors can only determine whether oil needs to be drained by detecting the on / off state of the circuit, but cannot detect the amount of oil in the oil collection box.

[0033] The integrated stove includes an oil box assembly 10, a support frame 100, a support wall 101, a mounting wall 102, an outer support platform 110, an outer rib 111, an inner support platform 120, an inner rib 121, a gravity detection component 200, a box body 300, a control component 400, and a support plate 500. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The oil box assembly 10 of the integrated stove according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the oil box assembly 10 of the integrated stove according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a support frame 100, a gravity detection component 200, a box body 300 and a control component 400.

[0037] Specifically, the support frame 100 has a support wall 101 and a mounting wall 102, wherein the mounting wall 102 is located on the inner side of the support wall 101 and below the support wall 101. For example, the support wall 101 and the mounting wall 102 extend in the horizontal direction respectively. The gravity detection member 200 is installed on the mounting wall 102 and is used to detect the weight of the outer end of the box body 300. For example, the gravity detection member 200 is a gravity sensor. The outer end of the box body 300 is suitable for being placed on the support wall 101, and the inner end of the box body 300 is suitable for being placed on the gravity detection member 200. When the box body 300 is in place, the inner end of the box body 300 is higher than the outer end of the box body 300. For example, when the box body 300 is in place, it extends from the outside to the inside and tilted upward. The control component 400 is installed on the installation wall 102, and the control component 400 communicates with the gravity detection component 200. The control component 400 analyzes the value measured by the gravity detection component 200 and the calibrated actual oil and water weight data to determine the conversion relationship between the two, thereby obtaining the current actual inventory in the box body 300 and reminding the user to pour out the oil based on the actual inventory.

[0038] The oil box assembly 10 of the integrated stove according to the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the lever principle to obtain the weight of oil and water, thereby reminding the user whether the oil and water need to be poured out, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a support plate 500 is provided between the gravity detection member 200 and the inner end of the box body 300, and the inner end of the box body 300 is placed on the support plate 500. In this way, since the support plate 500 can provide a larger contact area, the force is more uniform, which is conducive to improving measurement accuracy.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the gravity detection member 200 is fixed to the mounting wall 102, and the other end of the gravity detection member 200 is movable in the vertical direction. In this way, the weight of the inner end of the box body 300 causes the gravity detection member 200 to deform, thereby measuring the weight of the inner end of the box body 300. The support plate 500 is connected to the other end of the gravity detection member 200 and moves up and down.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support member is provided with a through hole, so that a certain movement space can be left for the one end of the gravity detection member 200 .

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum vertical distance between the outer bottom wall of the box body 300 and the support wall 101 is 0.1 mm to 3 mm to reserve sufficient deformation space and ensure detection accuracy. Furthermore, the maximum vertical distance between the outer bottom wall of the box body 300 and the support wall 101 is 1 mm to 2 mm.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the outer bottom wall of the box body 300 and the support wall 101 is 0.1°-2° to reserve sufficient deformation space and ensure detection accuracy. Furthermore, the angle between the outer bottom wall of the box body 300 and the support wall 101 is 0.3°-1°.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 100 includes: an outer support platform 110 and an inner support platform 120. The table surface (i.e., the upper surface) of the outer support platform 110 forms a support wall 101. The inner support platform 120 is connected to the outer support platform 110, and the inner support platform 120 is located on the inner side of the outer support platform 110, and the table surface (i.e., the upper surface) of the inner support platform 120 forms a mounting wall 102. In other words, the outer support platform 110 is located above the inner support platform 120, and the upper surface of the outer support platform 110 and the upper surface of the inner support platform 120 are connected by a vertical surface to form a step surface. In this way, the structure is relatively stable, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer support platform 110 is provided with outer ribs 111 extending upward on opposite sides, and the inner support platform 120 is provided with inner ribs 121 extending upward on opposite sides, and the upper edges of the outer ribs 111 are flush with the upper edges of the inner ribs 121. In this way, the box body 300 can be better positioned and the structural integrity is better.

[0046] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box body 300 moves from right to left to enter the interior of the integrated stove, and the box body 300 is placed obliquely upward from the outside to the inside. When the box body 300 is in place, the angle between the imaginary line between the contact point between the box body 300 and the support plate 500 and the contact point between the outer end of the box body 300 and the support wall 101 and the support wall 101 is 0.5°, and the maximum distance between the box body 300 and the support wall 101 is 1.5mm. In this way, based on the deformation of the gravity detection member 200 caused by the weight of the box body 300, the weight of part of the oil and water in the box body 300 can be measured (it should be understood that this weight is not the total weight of the oil and water in the box body 300). Based on the analysis of the measured partial weight and the calibrated actual oil and water weight, the conversion relationship between the two is determined, and the total weight of the oil and water in the box body 300 can be obtained, thereby deciding whether to remind the user to pour the oil. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0047] In the present application, by placing the weighing device at the inner end of the box body 300, the weight of the oil and water in the box body 300 can be measured by only the deformation of the inner end of the box body 300. Compared with the solution in which the weight of the oil box can only be obtained by the deformation of the entire oil box, the box body 300 can be clamped, and it is also easier for the user to push the oil box.

[0048] The housing assembly of an integrated stove according to a second embodiment of the present invention comprises: the oil cartridge assembly 10 of the integrated stove according to the first embodiment of the present invention; and a housing. The housing has a storage opening, and a support frame 100 is disposed on the housing. When the oil cartridge 300 is in place, the outer end of the housing 300 closes the storage opening.

[0049] According to the housing assembly of the integrated stove according to the embodiment of the present invention, the oil box assembly 10 of the integrated stove as described above can remind the user whether oil or water needs to be poured out, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0050] The integrated stove according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes the housing assembly of the integrated stove according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] According to the integrated stove of the embodiment of the present invention, the housing assembly of the integrated stove as described above can remind the user whether to pour oil or water, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0052] Other structures and operations of the integrated stove according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to ordinary technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, according to the oil storage amount control method of the integrated stove according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the integrated stove is the integrated stove according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and the method includes:

[0054] The total capacity of the box body 300 of the integrated stove and the current partial stock in the box body 300 are obtained, for example, the weight of the inner end of the box body 300 is obtained.

[0055] The current total inventory in the box body 300 is obtained based on the current partial inventory. For example, the current total weight of oil and water in the box body 300 is obtained based on the current weight of the inner end of the box body 300.

[0056] The amount of liquid injected into the box body 300 by the additional function is obtained. For example, if the additional function is steam washing, the amount of liquid injected into the box body 300 by the steam washing program is obtained.

[0057] The decision to pour oil when the additional function is activated is made based on the liquid volume, the current total volume, and the total capacity. For example, if the sum of the current total volume and the liquid volume is greater than or equal to the total capacity (or the current total volume is greater than or equal to the difference between the total capacity and the liquid volume), the user is reminded to pour oil before steam washing begins. If the sum of the current total volume and the liquid volume is less than the total capacity (or the current total volume is less than the difference between the total capacity and the liquid volume), the user does not need to be reminded to pour oil before steam washing begins, and the oil can be poured after steam washing is completed, thus avoiding interruptions to steam washing due to the need to pour oil midway. Of course, the weight of the box body 300, which is composed of the oil, water, and the weight of the box body 300 itself, can also be used for judgment.

[0058] It should be noted that the above processes are not arranged in an execution order, and the order of the above processes can be adjusted according to specific implementation conditions.

[0059] According to the oil storage control method of the integrated stove according to the embodiment of the present invention, the total weight of the oil and water is obtained by using part of the storage, so that the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the smooth operation of the additional functions can be guaranteed.
