Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a gas stove provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The gas stove includes: a control device 8, a fan 5, and a gas stove 12; the control device is equipped with a fan control module; the fan control module, the fan 5, and the gas stove 12 are connected in sequence; the control device 8 is connected to the gas stove 12.

[0032] Here, the control device 8, the fan 5, and the gas stove 12 are all housed in the chassis 9, and a panel 10 is also installed outside the chassis 9. The fan 5 is connected to the gas stove via a fan connecting pipe 6. The gas stove 12 also includes a pot rack 3.

[0033] The control device 8 is used to acquire the gas stove signal input by the user and control the gas stove 12 according to the gas stove signal.

[0034] Here, gas stove signals include on signal, power level signal, off signal, etc.

[0035] The control device 8 can control the gas stove 12 to ignite, change the flame, or turn it off based on the gas stove signal.

[0036] The fan control module is used to generate a fan control signal based on the gas stove signal and the preset fan wind force rules, and send the fan control signal to the fan 5.

[0037] Here, the preset fan power rules can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the fan power level corresponds to the firepower level of the gas stove 12. The higher the firepower level of the gas stove 12, the higher the fan power level.

[0038] The fan 5 is used to output corresponding air force to the gas stove 12 according to the fan control signal, so that the gas output by the gas stove 12 and the air induced by the fan 5 are mixed.

[0039] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a burner provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0040] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control device 8 includes a control board 7; the gas stove 12 also includes a burner 2 and a stove controller; the stove controller is connected to the control device 8; the stove controller is connected to the burner 2.

[0041] Here, the stove controller includes a gas valve assembly 1 and a gas pipe. The gas valve assembly is an electrically controlled valve, which is connected to a nozzle 2112 on the burner head 21 of the gas appliance 1 via the gas pipe. The burner head 21 is provided with a main injector pipe 211, and a nozzle 2112 is provided in the middle of the tail of the main injector pipe 211. Primary air inlets 2111 are provided on both sides of the nozzle 2112.

[0042] The control board is used to acquire signals from the gas stove input by the user.

[0043] Here, the control panel 7 can be either touch input or button input, allowing the user to control the entire gas stove through operations on the control panel 7.

[0044] The control device 8 is also used to control the stove controller to ignite or shut off the burner 2 according to the gas stove signal.

[0045] Here, when gas valve assembly 1 is open, the gas pipe is open, supplying gas to burner 2, thereby igniting burner 2. When gas valve assembly 1 is closed, no gas is supplied to burner 2.

[0046] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a gas splitter provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0047] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a fan provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fan 5 includes a first air outlet 51; the gas stove 12 also includes a gas diversion seat 4; the burner 2 is provided with a nozzle 2112; the gas diversion seat 4 is provided with an air inlet 42, a first air outlet 41 and a second air outlet 45; the air inlet 42 is connected to the first air outlet 51; the first air outlet 41 and the second air outlet 45 are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the nozzle 2112; the fan control signal includes a blower signal.

[0049] Here, the gas distributor 4 is equipped with several fixing feet 44 that cooperate with the chassis 9 for fixed installation. It is located at the tail of the burner head 21. The notch 43 in the middle is to avoid the installation of the gas pipeline of the nozzle 2112. The first gas outlet 41 and the second gas outlet 45 are located on both sides of the nozzle 2112 and are symmetrical, and the three center lines are parallel. When the blower 5 is working, the air ejected from the first gas outlet 41 and the second gas outlet 45 enters the main ejector pipe 211 through the primary air inlets 2111 on the left and right sides. It is fully mixed with the gas ejected from the nozzle 2112 and enters the head of the burner 2. The gas is then ignited at the flame outlet of the burner 2, thus achieving forced-air combustion. The effect is more complete combustion and higher combustion efficiency. The first gas outlet 41 and the second gas outlet 45 adopt Bernoulli's principle. The air ejected from the small orifice has a fast flow rate and low pressure, which facilitates the entry of the gas ejected from the nozzle 2112 and its full mixing, so as to achieve complete combustion.

[0050] The blower 5 is also used to turn on when it receives a blower signal sent by the blower control module, and blows air to the burner 2 through the first air outlet 51 and the gas diversion seat 4.

[0051] The gas splitter 4 is used to ensure that the air output from the first gas outlet 41 and the second gas outlet 45 is delivered in a direction parallel to the gas output from the nozzle 2112.

[0052] In one embodiment, the control board 7 is provided with an opening module; the first air outlet 51 is provided with a first control valve; the first control valve is connected to the fan control module.

[0053] The control device 8 is also used to control the stove controller to turn on and ignite the burner 2 when it receives an on signal input by the user through the on module.

[0054] Here, burner 2 is also equipped with an igniter and a thermocouple.

[0055] Specifically, the user turns on the power via the activation module to initiate ignition. Upon receiving the activation signal, the control device 8 drives the gas valve assembly 1 to open, and the igniter discharges and ignites, causing the burner 2 to ignite at its maximum setting. Simultaneously, a thermocouple is used to detect whether the burner has successfully ignited.

[0056] The fan control module is also used to, if an activation signal is received, generate a first blower signal according to the activation signal and a preset fan wind force rule after a preset first time period, and send the first blower signal to the fan 5 and the first control valve respectively; if an activation signal is received, generate a second blower signal according to the activation signal and the preset fan wind force rule after a preset second time period, and send the second blower signal to the fan 5 and the first control valve respectively; wherein, the first blower signal includes a fan activation signal, a first control valve activation signal, and a minimum speed signal; the second blower signal includes a maximum speed signal.

[0057] Here, both the first and second time periods can be set according to the actual situation, with the second time period being longer than the first time period. Specifically, the first time period can be set to 5 seconds, and the second time period can be set to 1 minute.

[0058] The blower 5 is also used to turn on when the first blower signal is received and to operate at the preset minimum level; and to operate at the preset maximum level when the second blower signal is received.

[0059] The first control valve is used to open at the minimum preset control valve position when a first blower signal is received, and to open at the maximum preset control valve position when a second blower signal is received.

[0060] Here, the first control valve is an electrically controlled valve. The first control valve is preset with different settings, which can be used in conjunction with the fan setting to adjust the size of the first air outlet 51, ensuring the stability of the burner 2's combustion at each setting.

[0061] Specifically, in order to prevent burner 2 from igniting poorly when cold, after burner 2 is successfully ignited, the fan is turned on at the lowest setting after burner 2 continues to burn for 5 seconds. At this time, the first control valve works with the fan to adjust the size of the first air outlet 51 so that the gas output from the gas stove and the air induced by the fan 5 are mixed.

[0062] After the burner 2 has been working for 1 minute, the fan 5 automatically adjusts to run at the maximum speed. At this time, the first control valve works with the fan to adjust the size of the first air outlet 51 so that the gas output by the gas stove 12 and the air injected by the fan 5 can be mixed.

[0063] In one embodiment, the control board 7 is also provided with a firepower level module.

[0064] The control device 8 is also used to, if it receives a fire level signal input by the user through the fire level module, control the stove controller to adjust the burner 2 to operate according to the preset fire level corresponding to the fire level signal.

[0065] The blower control module is also used to generate a third blower signal based on the firepower level signal and the preset firepower-wind power correspondence rule, and send the third blower signal to the blower 5 and the first control valve respectively; wherein the third blower signal includes the wind power level signal.

[0066] Fan 5 is also used to operate at the wind speed corresponding to the wind speed signal when the third blower signal is received.

[0067] The first control valve is also used to open at the control valve position corresponding to the wind speed signal when the third blower signal is received.

[0068] Specifically, the control device 8 obtains the firepower level input by the user through the control panel 7, adjusts the gas valve assembly 1 to adjust the gas delivery volume, thereby causing the burner 2 to burn at the corresponding firepower level. At the same time, the fan speed is adjusted accordingly based on the firepower level, and the size of the first air outlet is adjusted through the first control valve to ensure the stability of combustion of the burner 2 at each firepower level.

[0069] In one embodiment, the firepower level module includes an inner ring firepower level unit.

[0070] The control device 8 is also used to, if it receives an inner ring fire signal input by the user through the inner ring fire level unit, control the stove controller to adjust the burner to operate according to the preset inner ring fire level.

[0071] The fan control module is also used to generate a first control valve closing signal based on the inner ring fire signal and the preset fire-wind correspondence rule, and send the first control valve closing signal to the first control valve.

[0072] The first control valve is also used to close when a first control valve closure signal is received.

[0073] Specifically, when the firepower level is adjusted to the inner ring firepower level, the fan control module issues a command to close the first control valve, thereby stopping the supply of air to the gas distributor.

[0074] In one embodiment, the control board 7 is also provided with a shutdown module.

[0075] The control device is also used to control the stove controller to shut down the burner if it receives a shutdown signal input by the user through the shutdown module.

[0076] The wind turbine control module is also used to generate a wind turbine shutdown signal based on the shutdown signal and the preset wind turbine wind force rules after a preset third time period if a shutdown signal is received, and send the wind turbine shutdown signal to the wind turbine.

[0077] The fan is also used to shut down when a fan shutdown signal is received.

[0078] Here, the third time period can be set according to the actual situation; for example, it can be set to 3 minutes. The third time period is longer than the first time period.

[0079] Specifically, upon receiving a shutdown signal from the user, the burner shuts off, and the fan 5 operates for a 3-minute delay before shutting off. This solves the problem of excessive temperature rise due to reduced air convection inside the unit during shutdown.

[0080] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fan 5 also includes a second air outlet 52 and an air guide device 11; the second air outlet 52 is connected to the air guide device 11; the air guide device 11 is located on one side of the control device 8. The fan control signal also includes a heat dissipation signal.

[0081] The fan 5 is also used to output airflow when it receives a heat dissipation signal sent by the fan control module, and guide the airflow to the control device 8 through the air guide device 11 to cool the control device 8.

[0082] Here, the air guide device 11 is located on one side of the control panel 7. The fan 5 blows air onto the control panel 7 through the air guide device 11, using controlled airflow to remove excess heat and thus achieve a heat dissipation effect.

[0083] In one embodiment, a second control valve is provided on the second air outlet 52.

[0084] Here, the second control valve is an electrically controlled valve.

[0085] The fan control module is also used to, if an activation signal is received, generate a first heat dissipation signal based on the activation signal and the preset fan wind force rules after a preset fourth time period, and send the first heat dissipation signal to the second control valve.

[0086] Here, the fourth time period can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the fourth time period can be set to 10 minutes.

[0087] The second control valve is used to open when the first heat dissipation signal is received.

[0088] Specifically, after the burner 2 has been working for 10 minutes, the fan control module controls the second control valve to open, so that the fan 5 blows air to the control device 8 through the air guide device 11 to achieve heat dissipation.

[0089] This invention provides a gas stove, comprising: a control device, a fan, and a gas stove appliance; the control device includes a fan control module; the fan control module, the fan, and the gas stove appliance are connected in sequence; the control device is connected to the gas stove appliance; the control device is used to acquire a gas stove appliance signal input by the user and control the gas stove appliance according to the gas stove appliance signal; the fan control module is used to generate a fan control signal according to the gas stove appliance signal and a preset fan force rule, and send the fan control signal to the fan; the fan is used to output corresponding air force to the gas stove appliance according to the fan control signal, so as to mix the gas output by the gas stove appliance with the air induced by the fan. In this method, by setting the fan control module to adjust the fan force, the combustion stability of the gas stove is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0090] Example 2:

[0091] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another gas stove provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0092] Reference Figure 5 The control device 8 in the gas stove also includes a temperature sensor 13; the temperature sensor 13 is connected to the fan control module.

[0093] Temperature sensor 13 is used to monitor the real-time temperature value of control board 7 and send the real-time temperature value to the fan control module.

[0094] Here, the temperature sensor 13 detects the temperature of the control board 7 to provide feedback on the real-time temperature value inside the gas stove.

[0095] The fan control module is used to send a second heat dissipation signal to the second control valve when the real-time temperature value is greater than or equal to the preset maximum temperature value; and to send a second control valve closing signal to the second control valve when the real-time temperature value is less than or equal to the preset minimum temperature value.

[0096] Here, the maximum and minimum temperature values ​​are set according to the actual situation. For example, the maximum temperature value can be set to 60℃ and the minimum temperature value can be set to 35℃.

[0097] The second control valve is used to open when a second heat dissipation signal is received, and to close when a second control valve closing signal is received.

[0098] Specifically, when the real-time temperature reaches 60°C, the second control valve opens, and the airflow flows out through the air guide device 11 to dissipate heat from the control board 7. When the temperature of the control board drops to, for example, 35°C, the second control valve closes, stopping the heat dissipation from the control board 7.

[0099] This invention provides a gas stove, comprising: a control device, a fan, and a gas stove appliance; the control device includes a fan control module; the fan control module, the fan, and the gas stove appliance are connected in sequence; the control device is connected to the gas stove appliance; the control device is used to acquire gas stove appliance signals input by the user and control the gas stove appliance according to the gas stove appliance signals; the fan control module is used to generate a fan control signal according to the gas stove appliance signals and preset fan force rules, and send the fan control signal to the fan; the fan is used to output corresponding air force to the gas stove appliance according to the fan control signal, so as to mix the gas output by the gas stove appliance with the air induced by the fan. In this method, the temperature of the gas stove is monitored by a temperature sensor, thereby avoiding the gas stove from continuing to dissipate heat at high temperature limits, thus reducing energy consumption.
