Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pot support and also to a stove. Background Art

[0002] Currently, household stoves are primarily built-in or countertop, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Built-in stoves offer an aesthetically pleasing overall installation and are easier to clean than countertop stoves. However, they can damage countertops and take up space inside cabinets, hindering the ability to install a sterilizer or cupboard underneath. Furthermore, if the countertop is too airtight, this can affect primary air supply and cause problems with the stove extinguishing when the cabinet door is opened or closed. Countertop stoves offer a less aesthetically pleasing overall installation and are difficult to clean. Because the stove is stationary, grease can drip onto the countertop, creating a buildup that's difficult to clean. Furthermore, current stoves are typically fixed, meaning the burner is affixed to the countertop. These fixed stoves have the following disadvantages: 1. They occupy a significant portion of the countertop, leaving it solely for the stovetop, reducing its usability. As housing becomes increasingly scarce and kitchen space shrinks, cutting boards and serving bowls often have to be placed far from the stove, hindering the cooking experience. 2. They are difficult to clean.

[0003] The gas stoves disclosed in the Chinese utility model patents "An Ultra-Thin Gas Stove" with authorization publication number CN20118782U (application number 201920787898.X) and "A Modular Electric-Controlled Gas Stove" with authorization publication number CN210014393U (application number 201920394313.8) both adopt an upside-down flip structure. However, gas stoves with this structure have the following problems: 1. The upward flip mechanism of the burner limits the installation height and type of the range hood, especially causing interference with the installed side-suction range hood. To avoid this interference, the installation height of the side-suction range hood can only be increased, thereby affecting the range hood's smoke extraction effect. 2. When the burner flips upward, the various components that make up the burner are at risk of falling, and at the same time, oil stains accumulated on the burner will flow downward. This flow process increases the probability of blocking the fire hole or contaminating the ignition needle, thermocouple, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new installation form of stove that combines the advantages of embedded and countertop types. It can not only be truly easy to clean, but also greatly improve the utilization rate of countertops and internal space of cabinets, enhance the operating experience during cooking, and improve cooking safety.

[0004] In addition, the size of the pot supports used in these stoves is usually smaller because they need to be flipped, and the size of the pot supports is fixed, so the stability of the pot placement is relatively poor when in use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pot support with adjustable size in view of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a stove that can improve the utilization rate of the countertop while ensuring the stability of the burner during use and movement, while being able to expand and fold the pot support to match the pot or stove in use.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a pot bracket, characterized in that it includes two bracket bodies supported on a support body and a driving mechanism embedded in the support body, the driving mechanism includes an operating member and two driving members, the operating member has an operating handle exposed outside the support body, each driving member is connected to a bracket body, and the operating member is transmission-connected to the two driving members to drive the two bracket bodies to move closer together and away from each other.

[0008] The structure is simple. A first guide block is provided on the driving member. A first guide channel for inserting the first guide block is provided in the operating member corresponding to each driving member. A first opening for allowing the driving member to pass through is provided at a position corresponding to the first guide channel on the operating member. The first guide block can slide relative to the operating member in the first guide channel when the operating member is actuated, thereby causing the driving members to move closer or farther away from each other.

[0009] Preferably, the two first guide channels are symmetrically arranged, and the two first guide channels gradually approach each other along the pan support unfolding operation direction of the operating member.

[0010] Optionally, the two first guide channels are arranged obliquely relative to the symmetry axis of the two first guide channels;

[0011] Alternatively, the first guide channel has a connected approaching section and a moving away section, wherein the approaching section is arranged parallel to the symmetry axis of the two first guide channels, and the moving away section expands outward in an arc shape relative to the symmetry axis of the two first guide channels.

[0012] In order to facilitate assembly, the operating member includes a first component and a second component that can be matched up and down, and the first component and the second component are respectively formed with guide grooves that can be matched to form the first guide channel.

[0013] In order to ensure the smoothness of the first guide block in the first guide channel, the first guide block is a sphere.

[0014] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a stove, characterized in that it includes the aforementioned pot support, and also includes a base arranged on the table, at least one connecting arm horizontally rotatably connected to the base, and a burner arranged on the connecting arm, the two support bodies in the pot support are arranged on the connecting arm corresponding to the support of the burner and are located on both sides of the burner, and the driving mechanism in the pot support is arranged in the connecting arm.

[0015] In order to effectively realize the driving action of the pot support, the operating member is in the shape of an elongated strip and can be arranged in the connecting arm so as to be movable along the axial direction of the connecting arm. The outer end of the connecting arm has a positioning hole for the end of the operating member to pass through;

[0016] The driving member is a rod body, which can be movably arranged in the connecting arm along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm. A positioning block is provided in the connecting arm, and a limiting hole for the driving member to pass through is provided in the positioning block along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm.

[0017] In order to ensure the stability of the connecting arm when needed, a roller is provided on the bottom surface of the connecting arm, and a braking member capable of braking the roller is provided inside the connecting arm, and the braking member is transmission-connected to the operating member.

[0018] For easy installation, the bottom surface of the connecting arm is arched upward to form a mounting groove for mounting the roller;

[0019] The brake member is a brake rod, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm and passes through the side wall of the mounting slot to abut against the roller;

[0020] A second guide block is provided at one end of the brake member, and a second guide channel for inserting the second guide block is provided in the operating member corresponding to the brake member. A second opening for passing the brake member is provided at a position corresponding to the second guide channel on the operating member, and the second guide block can slide in the second guide channel when the operating member is actuated to achieve braking and releasing of the roller.

[0021] In order to ensure the stability of the brake rod moving perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm and avoid failure of the brake on the roller due to tilting, a limit block is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove corresponding to the position where the brake rod is inserted, and a guide hole for the brake part to penetrate is provided in the limit block along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm.

[0022] As an improvement, the second guide channel has arc segments whose number matches the braking positions of the roller.

[0023] As an improvement, the burner is a gas burner, the connecting arm has a cavity, and the cavity of the connecting arm is provided with an ejector pipe connected to the air inlet of the burner;

[0024] An air supply assembly is provided in the base, and the air supply assembly includes a nozzle connected to the end of the gas pipe and a valve body arranged on the gas pipe near the nozzle. The outlet of the nozzle faces the inlet position of the ejector tube when it is working, and a notch is provided on the side wall of the base corresponding to the outlet of the nozzle.

[0025] In order to ensure the ejection effect, a primary air inlet is provided on the connecting arm corresponding to the air inlet of the ejection tube.

[0026] In order to improve the uniformity of the injected gas mixing, the burner is arranged at the outer end of the connecting arm;

[0027] The ejector tube is extended along the axial direction of the connecting arm, the air inlet of the ejector tube is located at one end of the connecting arm close to the base, and the air outlet of the ejector tube is located at one end of the connecting arm away from the base.

[0028] The structure is simple. A horizontally rotatable wheel body is provided in the base corresponding to each connecting arm. An axle body that can penetrate the center of the wheel body is also provided in the base. The connecting arm is connected to the wheel body through a connecting rod. A guide opening for the connecting rod to pass through is provided on the side wall of the base corresponding to the rotation range of the connecting arm.

[0029] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following advantages: the pot holder of the present invention utilizes the transmission coordination of the operating member and the driving member to achieve the relative movement of the two holder bodies toward each other and away from each other, allowing the pot holder size to be adjusted. When a larger pot is required, the two holder bodies are driven away from each other, thereby increasing the pot holder size and improving the stability of the pot when placed. When a smaller pot is required or the pot holder is not in use, the two holder bodies can be driven together, reducing the pot holder size and occupying less space.

[0030] A stove using this pot holder not only allows for adjustable pot holder size, but also synchronizes the burner movement with the rotation of the connecting arm. When the stove is in use, the connecting arm can be rotated outward to the working position, allowing the user to conveniently use the burner for cooking. When the stove is not in use, the connecting arm can be rotated backward to the non-working position, freeing up more countertop space and making it easier to clean. Furthermore, because the stove is located entirely on the countertop, it does not occupy space within the cabinet, which can be conveniently used for other built-in appliances, improving cabinet space utilization. If at least two connecting arms are provided, only the connecting arm corresponding to the burner in use can be rotated to the working position as needed, eliminating the need to rotate all connecting arms simultaneously. This provides greater flexibility in the use of countertop space. Furthermore, because the connecting arm rotates horizontally, oil stains on the burner cannot escape due to vertical inversion of the burner, reducing the risk of burner clogging and contamination of the ignition pin and thermocouple. At the same time, the burner parts will not fall off due to vertical flipping, ensuring the stability of the stove when it is moving.

[0031] In addition, the stove in the present invention can brake and release the roller by utilizing the transmission cooperation between the operating part and the brake part. In this way, when the burner needs to be used, the brake part is used to brake the roller, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting arm during the cooking process and providing a better user experience.

[0040] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] The pot support 8 in this embodiment can be used in various stoves. In this embodiment, a new type of stove is taken as an example, and the pot support 8 and the stove are described in detail.

[0042] Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the stove in this embodiment includes a base 1, at least one connecting arm 2, a burner 4, and a pot support 8. The burner 4 can adopt various burners in the prior art, such as an electromagnetic burner or a gas burner. In this embodiment, a gas burner is adopted, and the stove also includes an ejector pipe 3 and a gas supply assembly 6.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is mounted on a tabletop 9, the connecting arm 2 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 1, the ejector tube 3 is axially disposed within the connecting arm 2, and the burner 4 is embedded in the connecting arm 2. To facilitate cooking operations on the burner 4, in this embodiment, the burner 4 is embedded in the outer end of the connecting arm 2. A pot support 8 is provided on the connecting arm 2 corresponding to the location of the burner 4 for placing cooking utensils thereon. The air outlet of the ejector tube 3 is connected to the air inlet of the burner 4. A gas supply assembly 6 is disposed within the base 1, connected to the gas pipe, and capable of supplying gas to the ejector tube 3.

[0044] To ensure structural stability, the base 1 is fixedly mounted at the rear of the tabletop 9, thereby leaving more operating space in the front of the tabletop 9. The base 1 in this embodiment includes a bottom shell 12 having a receiving cavity and an upper cover 13 that matches and covers the bottom shell 12. The bottom shell 12 includes a planar first side wall 14 and an arcuate second side wall 15. The ends of the second side wall 15 are integrally connected to the ends of the first side wall 14. During installation, the first side wall 14 of the bottom shell 12 is placed against the rear wall, thereby securing it to the tabletop 9. This maximizes the operating space left in the front of the tabletop 9.

[0045] The connecting arm 2 can be rotated manually or electrically. In this embodiment, manual rotation is adopted. Specifically, a horizontally rotatable wheel body 5 is provided in the base 1 corresponding to each connecting arm 2. The base 2 is also provided with a shaft body 51 that can penetrate the center of the wheel body 5. The shaft body 51 is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the base 2. The connecting arm 2 is connected to the wheel body 5 through a connecting rod 20. In order to ensure that the connecting arm can rotate horizontally relative to the base 1, a guide port 16 for the connecting rod 20 to pass through is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the rotation range of the connecting arm 2. On the one hand, the guide port 16 can ensure that the connecting rod 20 can drive the connecting arm 2 to move. On the other hand, it can also provide guidance for the movement of the connecting rod 20 to avoid excessive deviation in the up and down directions during the movement, which affects the use effect.

[0046] The rotation range of the connecting arm 2 is set as needed. In this embodiment, the rotation range of the connecting arm 2 is 60 degrees. After cooking, the connecting arm 2 is controlled to rotate to a position close to the wall, and then the table 9 is wiped, which makes it very easy to clean the table 9.

[0047] The number of connecting arms 2 is set as needed, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, two connecting arms 2 are provided. When not in use, the two connecting arms 2 are placed in a straight line against the wall, leaving the entire front space of the countertop 9 free for users to place items on. When work is required, the burner 4 to be operated is rotated outward 60° horizontally by rotating the connecting arm 2. The user can manually pull the connecting arm 2. Under the action of the guide opening 16, when the connecting arm 2 is rotated to the working position, the connecting rod 20 just touches the end of the guide opening 16, and the connecting arm 2 is rotated into place. Cooking utensils are placed on the pot support 8, and then cooking is performed using the burner 4. At this time, the space on the other side of the countertop 9 can still be used, such as for placing a cutting board or bowl, making cooking more convenient. If two burners 4 are required, both connecting arms 2 are rotated outward 60° horizontally to the working position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the end surface of the connecting arm 2 is an arcuate surface that matches the second side wall 15 of the base 1. This allows the end surface of the connecting arm 2 to tightly mate with the side wall of the base 1, thereby improving the sealing between the connecting arm 2 and the side wall of the base 1 and preventing the accumulation of oil and dirt directly between the base 1 and the connecting arm 2. The connecting arm 2 is supported on the table 9 by rollers 23, so that a gap is provided between the connecting arm 2 and the table 9, allowing air to circulate around the connecting arm 2.

[0049] The gas supply assembly 6 includes a nozzle 61 fixedly connected to the end of the gas pipe and a valve body 62 positioned near the nozzle 61. To ensure a stable gas injection direction from the nozzle 61 and effective operation, the outlet of the nozzle 61 faces the inlet of the ejector tube 3 during operation. A notch 11 is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the outlet of the nozzle 61. The nozzle 61 injects gas through this notch 11 into the ejector tube 3 within the connecting arm 2. To minimize damage to the countertop 9 from the gas pipe, the gas pipe is installed within the bottom wall or rear side wall of the bottom shell 12 of the base 1.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, to ensure the gas injection velocity and improve the gas injection capacity, the connecting arm 2 has a cavity within it. The ejector tube 3 extends axially along the connecting arm 2 and is disposed within the cavity. The end of the connecting arm 2 near the base is open to ensure that the gas ejected from the nozzle 61 through the notch 11 enters the ejector tube 3, facilitating the injection of gas into the ejector tube 3 and facilitating the injection of primary air. The inlet of the ejector tube 3 is located at the end near the base 1, while the outlet is located at the end away from the base 1. In this structure, the nozzle 61 is located away from the burner 4. Compared to existing top-inlet burners, the structure of the connecting arm 2 allows the ejector tube 3 in this embodiment to be closer in length to that of the ejector tube in bottom-inlet burners. The longer ejector tube 3 allows for more uniform mixing of the gas and the injected primary air, significantly improving the injection capacity. Furthermore, the nozzle 61 is located away from the burner 4, which minimizes the effects of heat on the nozzle 61 and prevents clogging by cooking liquid.

[0051] When the connecting arm 2 reaches the working position, the axis of the nozzle 61 is aligned with the axis of the ejection tube 3, thereby improving the ejection capability of the gas. Furthermore, this structure allows the nozzle 61 to be kept away from the burner 4, effectively preventing the burner 4 from becoming clogged. A primary air inlet 21 is provided on the wall of the connecting arm 2 at a position corresponding to the inlet of the ejection tube 3. Specifically, a primary air inlet 21 is provided on the rear side wall and bottom surface of the connecting arm 2, thereby maintaining the integrity of the outer wall of the connecting arm 2 at positions convenient for observation, such as the front and rear sides, thereby improving the aesthetics of the stove. The size of the primary air inlet 21 is set as required, and primary air can be ejected into the ejection tube 3 from the rear and bottom of the connecting arm 2, thereby ensuring the supply of primary air.

[0052] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the pot support 8 comprises two support bodies 81 mounted on a support structure, and a drive mechanism embedded within the support body. Depending on the specific application scenario of the pot support 8, the support body can be composed of different components. In this embodiment, the support body is the connecting arm 2. The two support bodies 81 of the pot support 8 are mounted on the connecting arm 2 to support the burner 4 and are located on the front and rear sides of the burner 4. The drive mechanism of the pot support 8 is located within the cavity of the connecting arm 2.

[0053] The driving mechanism includes an operating member 82 and two driving members 83. The operating member 82 has an operating handle 820 exposed outside the connecting arm 2 for easy operation. Each driving member 83 is connected to a bracket body 81. The operating member 82 is connected to the two driving members 83 in a transmission connection to drive the two bracket bodies 81 to move closer together and away from each other.

[0054] In this embodiment, the operating member 82 is elongated and is disposed within the connecting arm 2 so as to be movable along the axis of the connecting arm 2. The outer end of the connecting arm 2 has a positioning hole 22 for the outer end of the operating member 82 to pass through. This positioning hole 22 restricts the movement of the operating member 82 perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm, ensuring stable transmission with the driving member 83 and the braking member 84 described below. Thus, the operating handle 820 is located outside the outer end of the connecting arm 2. In this embodiment, the operating handle 820 is a ring-shaped member to facilitate the user's pulling of the operating member 82 along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, the driving member 83 is a rod, and the driving member 83 is arranged in the connecting arm 2 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the connecting arm axis. The connecting arm 2 is provided with a positioning block 24. In this embodiment, the positioning block 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the connecting arm. The positioning block 24 is provided with a limiting hole 241 perpendicular to the connecting arm axis for the driving member 83 to pass through. As a result, under the action of the positioning block 24, the driving member 83 cannot move in the axial direction of the connecting arm 2, but can only move in a direction perpendicular to the connecting arm axis. This prevents the support body 81 of the pot support 8 from being displaced along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2 relative to the burner 4 on the connecting arm 2.

[0056] Specifically, a first guide block 831 is provided on the inner end of the driver 83. A first guide channel 821 is provided within the operating member 82, corresponding to each driver 83, for the first guide block 831 to be placed therein. A first opening 822 is provided on the operating member 82 at a position corresponding to the first guide channel 821, through which the driver 83 can pass. When the operating member 82 is actuated, the first guide block 831 can slide relative to the operating member 82 within the first guide channel 821, thereby causing the driver 83 to move closer to or further away from the operating member 82. To ensure smooth movement of the first guide block 831 within the guide channel, the first guide block 831 in this embodiment is a sphere.

[0057] Since there are two driving members 83 in this embodiment, there are two first guide channels 821 in the operating member 82. The two first guide channels 821 are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the connecting arm 2, and the two first guide channels 821 gradually approach each other along the unfolding operation direction of the pot support 8 of the operating member 82.

[0058] The two first guide channels 821 can be arranged at an angle relative to the axis of symmetry of the two first guide channels 821; or the first guide channel 821 can include a connected approaching section 8211 and a separating section 8212, with the approaching section 8211 arranged parallel to the axis of symmetry of the two first guide channels 821, and the separating section 8212 expanding outward in an arc shape relative to the axis of symmetry of the two first guide channels 821. In this embodiment, the first guide channel 821 adopts the latter solution.

[0059] To facilitate assembly, the operating member 82 includes a first component 8201 and a second component 8202 that can be matched up and down. The first component 8201 and the second component 8202 are respectively formed with guide grooves that can be matched to form the aforementioned first guide channel 821.

[0060] The two support bodies 81 of the pot support 8 are initially positioned close to each other, with the first guide block 831 on the driving member 83 located within the approaching section 8211 of the first guide channel 821. When the pot support 8 needs to be increased in size to accommodate larger pots, the operating handle 820 can be pulled outwardly along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2, thereby driving the operating member 82 to move outward along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2. Since the driving member 83 cannot move in the axial direction of the connecting arm 2, the first guide block 831 on the driving member 83 gradually enters the away section 8212 of the first guide channel 821, causing the driving member 83 to move outward relative to the connecting arm 2 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. This in turn drives the two support bodies 81 away from each other, i.e., away from the connecting arm 2, increasing the distance between the two support bodies 81, thereby achieving an increase in the size of the pot support 8 and facilitating the placement of larger pots. The process of reducing the size of the pot support 8 is the opposite of the above process. That is, when cooking is not required or a small pot is placed on the pot support 8, the two support bodies 81 are brought closer together. In other words, when the connecting arm 2 is restored to the non-operating position, the two support bodies 81 can be relatively retracted on the connecting arm 2 by pushing the operating member 82 toward the connecting arm 2.

[0061] In order to improve the smoothness of rotation of the connecting arm 2, a roller 23 is provided on the bottom surface of the connecting arm 2. However, the roller 23 makes the connecting arm 2 more likely to rotate. Therefore, it is necessary to brake the roller 23 when the connecting arm 2 rotates to the working position to ensure the stability of the connecting arm 2. If necessary, the roller 23 can also be braked when the connecting arm is reset to the non-working position. The braking position and number of the connecting arm 2 are specifically set according to needs.

[0062] In this embodiment, a brake member 84 capable of braking the roller 23 is disposed within the connecting arm 2 and is in transmission connection with the operating member 82. Specifically, the bottom surface of the connecting arm 2 is arched upward to form a mounting slot 231 for mounting the roller 23. In this embodiment, the brake member 84 is a brake rod. The brake member 84 extends perpendicularly to the axis of the connecting arm and passes through the sidewalls of the mounting slot 231, allowing it to abut against the roller 23. To prevent the brake member 84 from tilting and affecting the braking of the roller 23, a limit block 25 is provided on the sidewalls of the mounting slot 231, corresponding to the position where the brake rod is inserted. A guide hole 251 is provided within the limit block 25, perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm, for the brake member 84 to pass through. This prevents the brake member 84 from moving axially in the connecting arm 2 and from tilting.

[0063] A second guide block 841 is provided at one end of the brake member 84. A second guide channel 823 is provided within the operating member 82, corresponding to the brake member 84, for the second guide block 841 to be positioned within. A second opening 824 is provided on the operating member 82 at a position corresponding to the second guide channel 823, through which the brake member 84 can pass. The second guide block 841 can slide within the second guide channel 823 when the operating member 82 is actuated, thereby braking and releasing the roller 3. In this embodiment, the second guide channel 823 has arcuate segments corresponding to the number of braking positions on the roller 23. These arcuate segments guide the brake member 84 toward the braking roller 23. In this embodiment, the second guide block 841 also has a spherical structure.

[0064] When the roller 23 needs to be braked, the operating member 82 can be pulled along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2. Since the brake member 84 does not move in the axial direction of the connecting arm 2, the second guide block 841 on the brake member 84 will gradually move to the arc segment in the second guide channel 823, thereby causing the brake member 84 to move closer to the roller 23. When the second guide block 841 reaches the highest position of the arc segment in the second guide channel 823, the brake member 84 will tightly contact the wheel surface of the roller 23, thereby braking the roller 23. When the roller needs to be released, the operating member 82 can be pushed into the connecting arm to release the brake on the roller. When the operating member 82 is pushed into the connecting arm, the second guide block 841 can gradually enter another arc segment. In this way, when the connecting arm is reset to a position close to the rear wall, the roller 23 can still be locked after the operating member 82 is retracted into the connecting arm 2.

[0065] As needed, each connecting arm 2 can be provided with two rollers 23, which are spaced apart on either side of the operating member 82 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting arm 2. A brake member 24 is provided corresponding to each roller 23, and a second guide channel 823 is provided corresponding to each brake member 24. The two second guide channels 823 are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the connecting arm 2.

[0066] At the same time, the spacing distance between the second guide channel 823 and the first guide channel 821 can be designed to ensure that when the operating member 82 is pulled outward, the two bracket bodies 81 are relatively separated, thereby increasing the support size of the pot bracket 8 and braking the roller 23, thereby facilitating the user's cooking operations.

[0067] The stove of the present invention rotates the connecting arm 2 to synchronize the burners 4. When the stove is in use, the connecting arm 2 can be rotated outward to the working position, allowing the user to conveniently use the burners 4 for cooking. When the stove is not in use, the connecting arm 2 can be rotated backward to the non-working position, freeing up more space on the countertop and facilitating cleaning. Furthermore, because the stove is located entirely on the countertop, it does not occupy space within the cabinet, which can be conveniently used for other built-in appliances, improving cabinet space utilization. When at least two connecting arms 2 are provided, only the connecting arm 2 corresponding to the burner 4 in use can be rotated to the working position as needed, eliminating the need to rotate all connecting arms 2 simultaneously. This provides greater flexibility in the use of the operating space on the countertop 9. Furthermore, because the connecting arm 2 rotates horizontally, oil stains on the burners 2 are prevented from flowing out due to vertical inversion of the burners 4, reducing the risk of clogged flame holes and contamination of the ignition pins and thermocouples. Furthermore, burner 4 parts are prevented from falling due to vertical inversion.

[0068] The stove of the present invention utilizes the transmission cooperation of the operating member 82 and the driving member 83 to achieve the relative movement of the two support bodies 81 toward and away from each other, so that the size of the pot support 8 can be adjusted. When a larger pot needs to be placed, the two support bodies 81 are driven relatively apart, which increases the size of the pot support 8 and improves the stability of the pot when placed. When the pot to be placed is smaller or the pot support 8 is not in use, the two support bodies 81 can be driven relatively close together, which reduces the size of the pot support 8 and takes up less space. The transmission cooperation of the operating member 82 and the brake member 84 can achieve the braking and release of the roller. In this way, when the burner needs to be used, the brake member 84 is used to brake the roller 23, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting arm during the cooking process and providing a better user experience.
