Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and more specifically, to a gas cooker. Background Art

[0002] As society continues to develop, people's living standards are gradually improving, and with them comes people's increasing demand for quality of life. As one of the important components of kitchen appliances, gas stoves must also provide people with a safe and comfortable cooking environment. However, most touch-controlled gas stoves on the market are operated through a glass panel, which may have the following problems: 1) As the cooking time increases, the temperature of the glass panel gradually increases, which not only poses a risk of scalding, but also threatens the user's personal safety; 2) Touch control through the panel reduces the sensitivity of the control panel, and there will be water or oil dripping during the cooking process, which in turn further reduces the sensitivity of the control panel; 3) When cleaning the glass panel, it is easy to touch the buttons, causing accidental touches.

[0003] Patent CN2438952Y proposes a switch for a gas stove, which pulls out or pushes the control panel into the stove body by pulling or the like, but there is no heat insulation device around the control panel, which cannot solve the problem of increased temperature of the control panel. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application proposes a gas cooker to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] The present application provides a gas stove, comprising: a stove body; a heat insulation box, which is fixedly accommodated inside the stove body; and a control panel, which is slidably connected to the heat insulation box so that the control panel can be retracted into the heat insulation box or extended out of the stove body.

[0006] The control panel of the gas stove of the present application can be extended out of the stove body or retracted into the stove body. When the control panel is retracted into the stove body, its periphery is protected by a heat insulation box, which will not cause the control panel to overheat due to cooking, thereby ensuring user safety.

[0007] In one embodiment, it further comprises a power mechanism and a transmission mechanism, wherein the transmission mechanism is respectively connected to the power mechanism and the control panel, and is used for converting the rotational motion of the power mechanism into the linear motion of the control panel.

[0008] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes: a slide rail and a slider, the slider is mounted on the slide rail and can move along the slide rail; a first microswitch and a second microswitch, which are respectively used to monitor whether the slider moves to a first preset position and a second preset position; a controller, which is electrically connected to the first microswitch, the second microswitch and the power mechanism, respectively; when the controller receives a signal that the slider moves to the first preset position or a signal that the slider moves to the second preset position, the power mechanism is controlled to stop the rotational movement.

[0009] By setting the first micro switch and the second micro switch, it is possible to automatically detect whether the control panel has moved to a position. For example, when the control panel gradually extends out of the stove body and touches the first micro switch, the controller controls the power mechanism to stop rotating, and the control panel is positioned at this position to facilitate user operation. When the control panel gradually retracts into the heat insulation box (stove body) and touches the second micro switch, the controller controls the power mechanism to stop rotating, and the control panel is completely retracted into the heat insulation box. Thus, the function of retracting the control panel is realized.

[0010] In one embodiment, the slide rail is a screw rod, the slider is threadedly matched with the slide rail, the screw rod is connected to the power mechanism, and rotates around its own central axis driven by the power mechanism, so that the slider moves along the screw rod.

[0011] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a first gear and a second gear meshing with each other, wherein the first gear is connected to the output shaft of the power mechanism, and the second gear is connected to the screw, for converting the rotational motion of the power mechanism into rotation of the screw around its own central axis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a gear box containing the first gear and the second gear, which is arranged at the first end of the screw rod, the bottom wall of the gear box is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cooker body, the output shaft of the power mechanism passes through the first side wall of the gear box to connect to the first gear, and the screw rod is connected to the second gear via a connecting rod passing through the second side wall of the gear box. The transmission mechanism can be fixed to the cooker body through the gear box.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first micro switch is disposed on a side of the gear box close to the slide rail.

[0014] In one embodiment, a limit block is further included, which is arranged at the second end of the slide rail, and the second micro switch is arranged on a side of the limit block close to the slide rail.

[0015] In one embodiment, a slider wing is provided at the end of the slider, and the slider wing is connected to the control panel.

[0016] In one embodiment, the insulation box includes a top cover and a partition, and the partition makes the insulation box a double-layer structure. The upper layer of the insulation box is provided with a slide for the control panel to slide, and the lower layer of the insulation box is provided with the transmission mechanism. An opening is provided in the middle position of the partition, and the side wings of the slider are connected to the control panel through the opening.

[0017] In one embodiment, a switch button is provided on the front side wall of the stove body, and the switch button is electrically connected to the controller so as to control the movement of the control panel through the switch button.

[0018] In one embodiment, a through hole is provided on the front side wall of the stove body at a position corresponding to the control panel, so as to allow the control panel to extend out of the stove body or retract into the heat insulation box through the through hole.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0020] 1) When the control panel of the gas stove of the present application does not need to be operated, the control panel can be retracted into the heat-insulating box, so that the temperature of the control panel will not be too high due to long cooking time, thereby preventing scalding of the user and ensuring the safety of the user.

[0021] 2) When the control panel is retracted into the insulation box, it is not disturbed by water, oil drops, etc. When the control panel needs to be operated, the control panel extends out of the stove body, and the user can directly operate the control panel without operating through the glass panel, which is more sensitive.

[0022] 3) Users will not accidentally touch the control panel when cleaning the glass panel.

[0023] The above technical features can be combined in various suitable ways or replaced by equivalent technical features as long as the purpose of the present invention can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a gas cooker according to the present application is shown, which includes a cooker body 11, a heat insulation box 12 and a control panel 13. The heat insulation box 12 is fixedly accommodated inside the cooker body 11, and the control panel 13 is slidably connected to the heat insulation box 12, so that the control panel 13 can be retracted into the heat insulation box 12 or extended out of the cooker body 11.

[0033] A through hole 14 is provided on the front side wall of the stove body 11 at a position corresponding to the control panel 13 , so as to allow the control panel 13 to extend out of the stove body 11 or retract into the heat insulation box 12 through the through hole 14 .

[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the gas cooker further includes a power mechanism 15 and a transmission mechanism 16 . The transmission mechanism 16 is respectively connected to the power mechanism 15 and the control panel 13 , and is used for converting the rotational motion of the power mechanism 15 into the linear motion of the control panel 13 .

[0035] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism 16 includes a slide rail 161 and a slider 162, a first micro switch 163 and a second micro switch 164 and a controller 165 (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).

[0036] The slider 162 is sleeved on the slide rail 161 and can move along the slide rail 161. Figure 5In the embodiment shown, the slide rail 161 is a screw rod, the slider 162 is threadedly matched with the slide rail 161, the screw rod is connected to the power mechanism 15, and rotates around its own central axis under the drive of the power mechanism 15, so that the slider 162 moves along the screw rod 161. In one embodiment, the power mechanism 15 is a motor.

[0037] In one embodiment, the rotational motion of the power mechanism 15 is converted into the rotation of the screw 161 around its own central axis in the following manner. Specifically, the output shaft of the power mechanism 15 is connected to the first gear 166, and the screw 161 is connected to the second gear 167, and the rotational motion of the power mechanism 15 is converted into the rotation of the screw 161 around its own central axis through the meshing of the first gear 166 and the second gear 167.

[0038] The first gear 166 and the second gear 167 are both accommodated in a gear box 168, which is disposed at the first end of the screw rod 161, and the bottom wall of the gear box 168 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the stove body 11, the output shaft 151 of the power mechanism 15 passes through the first side wall of the gear box 168 to connect to the first gear 166, and the screw rod 166 is connected to the second gear 167 via a connecting rod 169 passing through the second side wall (the wall close to the screw rod) of the gear box 168. By providing the gear box 168, the technical purpose of fixing the transmission mechanism 16 to the bottom wall of the stove body 11 is achieved.

[0039] The first micro switch 163 and the second micro switch 164 are used to monitor whether the slider 162 moves to the first preset position and the second preset position, respectively. In this embodiment, the first preset position is the position where the control panel 13 just completely extends out of the stove body 11, and the second preset position is the position where the control panel 13 just completely retracts into the heat insulation box 12. The controller 165 is electrically connected to the first micro switch 163, the second micro switch 164 and the power mechanism 15, respectively; when the controller 165 receives a signal that the slider 162 moves to the first preset position or a signal that the slider 162 moves to the second preset position, the power mechanism 15 is controlled to stop rotating.

[0040] By setting the first micro switch 163 and the second micro switch 164, it is possible to automatically detect whether the control panel 13 has moved to a position. For example, when the control panel 13 gradually extends out of the stove body 11 and touches the first micro switch 163, the controller 165 controls the power mechanism 15 to stop rotating, and the control panel 13 is positioned at this position to facilitate user operation. When the control panel 13 gradually retracts into the heat insulation box 12 (stove body 11) and touches the second micro switch 164, the controller 165 controls the power mechanism 15 to stop rotating, and the control panel 13 is completely retracted into the heat insulation box 12. Thus, the function of retracting the control panel 13 is realized.

[0041] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment, the first micro switch 163 is disposed on the side of the gear box 168 close to the slide rail 161. In addition, a stopper 1611 is disposed at the end of the screw rod 161 away from the gear box 168, and the second micro switch 164 is disposed on the side of the stopper 1611 close to the screw rod 161.

[0042] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the heat-insulating box 12 includes a top cover (not shown) and a partition 121. The top cover is used to prevent the high temperature generated by cooking from being transmitted to the control panel 13, thereby protecting the control panel 13. The partition 121 forms the heat-insulating box 12 into a double-layer structure. The upper layer of the heat-insulating box 12 is provided with a slideway 122 for the control panel 13 to slide. The lower layer of the heat-insulating box 12 is provided with a transmission mechanism 16. An opening 123 is provided in the middle of the partition 121, and the slider 162 is connected to the control panel 13 through the opening 123. Preferably, slider side wings 1621 are provided at both ends of the slider 162, and the slider side wings 1621 are connected to the control panel 13.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a switch button 111 is provided on the front side wall of the stove body 11 , and the switch button 111 is electrically connected to the controller 165 to control the movement of the control panel 13 through the switch button 111 .

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stove body 11 also includes a bottom shell 112 and a glass panel 113, an inner ring fire cover 114, an outer ring fire cover 115 and a pot support 116. These components are common components of kitchen stoves, and their arrangement can be arranged according to the existing kitchen stove arrangement, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0046] 1) When the control panel of the gas stove of the present application does not need to be operated, the control panel can be retracted into the heat-insulating box, so that the temperature of the control panel will not be too high due to long cooking time, thereby preventing scalding of the user and ensuring the safety of the user.

[0047] 2) When the control panel is retracted into the insulation box, it is not disturbed by water, oil drops, etc. When the control panel needs to be operated, the control panel extends out of the stove body, and the user can directly operate the control panel without operating through the glass panel, which is more sensitive.

[0048] 3) Users will not accidentally touch the control panel when cleaning the glass panel.
