[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0027] The present invention provides a gas stove, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , comprising: a stove 1; an installation cavity 2, the installation cavity 2 being located below the stove 1; a touch assembly 3, at least a portion of which is installed in the installation cavity 2, the touch assembly 3 having a touch panel 30, the touch panel 30 being rotatably arranged around a predetermined axis so that the touch panel 30 can be flipped relative to the stove 1 so that the touch end surface of the touch panel 30 is located in a direction toward the stove 1 or in a direction away from the stove 1; wherein, an avoidance opening 10 for avoiding the touch panel 30 is provided on the stove 1.

[0028] The gas stove provided by the present invention includes a stovetop 1, an installation cavity 2, and a touch control assembly 3. The installation cavity 2 is located below the stovetop 1, and at least a portion of the touch control assembly 3 is installed within the installation cavity 2. The touch control assembly 3 includes a touch panel 30. The touch panel 30 is rotatably arranged about a predetermined axis so that the touch panel 30 can be flipped relative to the stovetop 1 so that the touch end surface of the touch panel 30 is located toward the stovetop 1 or away from the stovetop 1. The stovetop 1 is provided with an escape opening 10 for evading the touch panel 30. This arrangement enables the touch end surface of the touch panel 30 to be flipped to face the interior of the installation cavity when the touch panel 30 is not in operation. It should be noted that the touch end surface is located toward the interior of the installation cavity, that is, away from the stovetop 1. When a user cleans the stovetop surface, the touch end surface will not be touched, thereby avoiding the risk of accidental operation of the stovetop.

[0029] To facilitate installation of the touch panel, the touch assembly 3 further includes a mounting member 31, which is rotatably mounted about a predetermined axis. The mounting member 31 has a first end face and a second end face disposed opposite each other. The touch panel 30 is mounted on the first end face, so that the mounting member 31 causes the touch panel 30 to flip. This arrangement allows the touch panel 30 to flip to its initial position (i.e., the initial position in which the touch panel 30 faces the interior of the mounting cavity 2, with the second end face facing the stovetop 1). Ordinary glass can be mounted on the second end face, while a thinner, chemically reinforced glass can be mounted on the touch end face of the touch panel 30 to enhance touch sensitivity.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the gas stove further includes a driving component 4, which is disposed in the installation cavity 2 and is drivingly connected to the touch panel 30 to drive the touch panel 30 to rotate. The driving component 4 is preferably a driving motor.

[0031] Specifically, to facilitate installation of the drive component 4, the gas stove further includes a mounting bracket 5, which is mounted within the mounting cavity 2, and on which at least a portion of the drive component 4 is mounted. This arrangement also facilitates the mating of the drive component 4 with the touch panel 30, thereby improving the mating accuracy of the drive component 4 and the touch panel 30.

[0032] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the gas stove further includes: a first thermal insulation box 6, which is disposed within the mounting cavity 2. At least a portion of the touch control assembly 3 is mounted within the first thermal insulation box 6, and the top opening of the first thermal insulation box 6 is opposite the avoidance opening 10. Because the mounting cavity of the gas stove also contains a burner, during cooking, the burner can radiate heat to components within the mounting cavity, potentially damaging the components. Therefore, the first thermal insulation box 6 is provided, and the touch control assembly 3 is mounted within the first thermal insulation box 6 to isolate the touch control assembly 3 from radiant heat from the burner.

[0033] During the specific implementation, in order to prevent the touch panel 30 from interfering with the side wall of the first insulation box 6 during the flipping process, an avoidance portion is provided on the side wall of the first insulation box 6 to avoid the body of the touch panel 30 when the touch panel 30 is flipped.

[0034] Preferably, the avoidance portion is an arc-shaped depression.

[0035] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the gas stove further includes a driving component 4, which is drivingly connected to the touch panel 30 to drive the touch panel 30 to rotate. The gas stove also includes a second thermal insulation box 7, which is disposed within the mounting cavity 2. The driving component 4 is mounted within the second thermal insulation box 7. The sidewall of the second thermal insulation box 7 is provided with a through hole, through which at least a portion of the driving shaft 40 of the driving component 4 passes to connect with the touch panel 30. This arrangement can prevent the heat radiation generated by the burner in the mounting cavity from interfering with the heat radiation generated by the driving component 4 during operation.

[0036] Specifically, the gas stove further includes: a controller 8 , which is installed in the installation cavity 2 , and is connected to the touch panel 30 , so as to control the flipping of the touch panel 30 through the controller 8 .

[0037] In a specific implementation, the gas stove further includes an operating button 9 mounted on the stovetop 1 and connected to a controller 8 for controlling the flipping of the touch panel 30. The operating button 9 is a fingerprint recognition component. The fingerprint recognition component includes a fingerprint recognition module. Only a specific user can flip the touch panel after their fingerprint information has been entered into the fingerprint recognition module. This prevents children from accidentally operating the touch panel and increases the safety of the gas stove.

[0038] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0039] The gas stove provided by the present invention includes a stovetop 1, an installation cavity 2, and a touch control assembly 3. The installation cavity 2 is located below the stovetop 1, and at least a portion of the touch control assembly 3 is installed within the installation cavity 2. The touch control assembly 3 includes a touch panel 30. The touch panel 30 is rotatably arranged about a predetermined axis so that the touch panel 30 can be flipped relative to the stovetop 1 so that the touch end surface of the touch panel 30 is located toward the stovetop 1 or away from the stovetop 1. The stovetop 1 is provided with an escape opening 10 for evading the touch panel 30. This arrangement enables the touch end surface of the touch panel 30 to be flipped to face the interior of the installation cavity when the touch panel 30 is not in operation. It should be noted that the touch end surface is located toward the interior of the installation cavity, that is, away from the stovetop 1. When a user cleans the stovetop surface, the touch end surface will not be touched, thereby avoiding the risk of accidental operation of the stovetop.
