Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchenware manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an integrated stove and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated cooktops are a common household appliance in the kitchen appliance market. They mainly consist of a combination cabinet, a gas stove mounted on the countertop, and a range hood that collects and exhausts cooking fumes and smoke. The range hood includes a fume hood for collecting fumes and an air box located inside the cabinet and connected to the fume hood. The air box is used to exhaust fumes and smoke outdoors. Compared to traditional separate kitchen appliance designs, integrated cooktops have the following advantages: a more compact structure, higher space utilization, effectively saving kitchen space; integration of cooking, fume extraction, and storage functions, offering comprehensive functionality and greater convenience; and a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing design, enhancing the kitchen's overall appearance.

[0003] Utility model patent CN215295002U discloses an integrated stove with an adjustable smoke collection hood angle. It includes a stovetop with a one-piece air box inlet at the front of the upper end. A smoke collection hood is installed at the air box inlet, and the hood is connected to the air box via an angle adjustment structure. Specifically, the angle adjustment structure includes a left and right rotating shaft on both sides of the smoke collection hood, and rotating platforms on both sides above the air box. The left and right rotating shafts pass through rotating holes in the rotating platforms and protrude from the holes. A drive mechanism is provided on one side of the smoke collection hood. The main shaft of the drive mechanism extends into and is engaged with the left rotating shaft. The drive mechanism rotates the main shaft to drive the left and right rotating shafts to rotate along the rotating holes, thereby driving the smoke collection hood to swing back and forth, adjusting its angle. To ensure a tighter connection between the air box and the smoke collection hood, the lower end face of the smoke collection hood has an arc-shaped sliding surface. This sliding surface is engaged in sliding grooves on both sides above the air box, with the sliding surface and the sliding grooves having similar shapes.

[0004] However, due to the integrated large-diameter design of the smoke inlet of the fume hood in this patent, the collected fumes are relatively dispersed under the negative pressure of the fan. This means that the overall fume extraction effect of the fume hood is not ideal, and the energy consumption of the fume hood is high when only one side of the stove is turned on. Furthermore, the airtightness of the connection between the fume hood and the air box directly affects the overall fume adsorption effect of the integrated stove. However, in the aforementioned patent, to achieve the angle adjustment structure for adjusting the angle of the fume hood, only a sliding surface and sliding groove of corresponding shape are designed at the junction of the air box and the fume hood, which cannot establish a tight connection between the air box and the fume hood. Therefore, after the air box is turned on, the negative pressure of the air box will inevitably be lost at the gap between the air box and the fume hood, resulting in poor fume collection at the smoke inlet of the fume hood. In addition, after long-term use, the gap between the contact surfaces of the air box and the fume hood will continue to widen, and the fume extraction effect will continuously deteriorate as the gap widens. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an integrated stove with high precision and good fume purification effect, which is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated stove includes a body with two cooktops on its surface; two smoke collection devices are installed on the two sides of the cooktop away from the user; each smoke collection device includes a box for collecting oil fumes and a support pipe that is connected to one end of the box and used to fix the box to the body.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the housing is provided with a smoke guide port, and an oil mesh is provided on the smoke guide port.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the height of the lower surface near the user is higher than the height of the lower surface away from the user.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the housing is also provided with a smoke detection device for detecting the concentration of cooking fumes; the smoke detection device includes a proximal oil fume sensor disposed on the lower surface.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, the housing also includes a front surface that is longitudinally disposed on the side closer to the user and whose lower end is in contact with the lower surface; the smoke detection device also includes a distal oil fume sensor disposed on the front surface.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the integrated stove further includes an installation device for mounting the support pipe onto the body; the installation device includes a fixing component; the fixing component includes a sleeve fitted onto the outer surface of the support pipe, and the lower end of the sleeve forms a base that abuts against the upper surface of the countertop.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, the lower end of the supporting pipe is formed with a bottom ring that connects with the lower surface of the platform.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, the mounting device further includes a sealing fastener mounted on the fixing component and used to strengthen the connection between the sleeve and the supporting pipe.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the sealing fastener has a reinforcing ring inside; the sleeve also has a ring wall groove that abuts against the reinforcing ring.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment, the reinforcing ring is provided with needle rollers; the sleeve also includes limiting rings disposed at the upper and lower ends of the ring wall groove.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, the body is also provided with a smoke collection chamber and an air box that are sequentially connected to the support pipe; the smoke collection chamber includes a first surface for installing the support pipe and a second surface corresponding to the first surface; a through hole for communicating with the air box is provided at the middle position of the second surface.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment, the integrated stove also includes a drive device for driving the cabinet to rotate, and a transmission device that cooperates with the drive device.

[0018] The method of using the integrated stove described in any of the above includes the following steps:

[0020] S2. The controller analyzes the oil fume concentration data and, based on the analysis results, instructs the drive device to rotate the box until the box rotates above the stove to collect the oil fumes.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This application provides two sets of stoves, each equipped with a corresponding smoke collection device with a special structure, which increases the accuracy of smoke extraction and reduces energy consumption to a certain extent. Based on this, the invention, through the structural and positional design of the supporting pipe bottom ring and the fixing component base, effectively prevents smoke from flowing out of the gap between the supporting pipe and the first surface while ensuring the stable installation of the supporting pipe, thus improving the sealing performance at the end of the supporting pipe. Furthermore, by setting sealing fasteners, the connection strength between the fixing component sleeve and the supporting pipe is strengthened, preventing gaps from forming between the upper surface of the bottom ring and the lower surface of the first surface under gravity after long-term use, thus avoiding affecting the sealing effect.

[0023] This application also incorporates a smoke detector and a corresponding drive mechanism. The smoke collection device, driven by the drive mechanism, rotates around the central axis of the supporting pipe, adjusting the relative angle between the smoke inlet of the housing and the cookware above the stove. Therefore, the integrated stove of this application can achieve precise adsorption of cooking fumes. Furthermore, the drive mechanism is activated based on the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detector, further reducing energy consumption and operating costs while ensuring effective fume adsorption.

[0035] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement the present application based on these descriptions. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present application described below are generally only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. Therefore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please see Figures 1-4 The integrated stove disclosed in this embodiment includes:

[0038] The machine body 1 has a tabletop 11 on which two stoves 111 are provided; two smoke collection devices 2 are respectively installed on the two sides of the tabletop 11 away from the user. When either stove 111 is turned on, the corresponding smoke collection device 2 will absorb the oil fumes rising above the stove 111.

[0039] The smoke collection device 2 includes a housing 21 for collecting oil fumes. The lower surface 211 of the housing 21 is provided with a smoke guide 2111. Therefore, oil fumes above the stove 111 flow into the housing 21 through the smoke guide 2111 on the lower surface 211, thus completing the initial absorption of the oil fumes. Since the oil fumes contain a large amount of grease, impurities, and oil fume particles, to prevent them from entering the interior of the housing 21 and accumulating and corroding its inner surface, an oil filter is also provided on the smoke guide 2111 in this embodiment. By setting up the oil filter, the service life of the integrated stove is extended, and the housing 21 is also easier to clean and maintain.

[0040] To increase the collection surface area of ​​the smoke inlet 2111 and improve the smoke extraction efficiency, in this embodiment, the height of the end of the lower surface 211 closer to the user is higher than the height of the end of the lower surface 211 farther from the user. This inclined design of the lower surface 211 guides the smoke into the housing 21 along the lower surface 211, thereby reducing the possibility of smoke overflow and maintaining a clean kitchen environment.

[0041] To enhance the intelligence of the integrated stove's operation and improve its fume purification effect, a smoke detection device 3 is also installed on the housing 21. This device includes a near-end fume sensor 31 disposed on the lower surface 211. To maximize the fume detection area and obtain a more ideal fume concentration range, two sets of near-end fume sensors 31 are configured. One set is disposed on the lower surface 211 near the body 1, and the other set is disposed on the lower surface 211 away from the body 1. The smoke inlet 2111 is positioned between the two near-end fume sensors 31. By using two near-end fume sensors 31, the fume concentration at the location of the housing 21 can be clearly determined.

[0042] In addition to the aforementioned housing 21, the smoke collection device 2 also includes a support pipe 22 for mounting the housing 21 onto the body 1; the support pipe 22 is connected to the side end of the housing 21. Therefore, the oil fumes collected by the housing 21 will flow along the direction of the support pipe 22.

[0043] The main body 1 is also provided with a smoke collection chamber 12 and an air box that are sequentially connected to the supporting pipe 22. The smoke collection chamber 12 includes a first surface 121 for mounting the supporting pipe 22 and a second surface 122 corresponding to the first surface 121. A through hole is provided at the center of the second surface 122 for communicating with the air box. By providing the through hole, the oil fumes from the two smoke collection devices 2 can be collected, so that the oil fumes can flow to the air box better, and the oil fume purification effect is better.

[0044] Furthermore, the airtightness of the installation between the supporting pipe 22 and the first surface 121 will significantly affect the fume extraction effect of the integrated stove. Therefore, the integrated stove in this embodiment also includes an installation device 4 for installing the supporting pipe 22 on the first surface 121. Specifically, the installation device 4 includes a fixing component 41, which includes a sleeve 411 fitted onto the surface of the supporting pipe 22. The lower end of the sleeve 411 has a base 412 that contacts the upper surface of the first surface 121. Further, to ensure stable installation of the supporting pipe 22 by the fixing component 41, a bottom ring 221 is formed at the lower end of the supporting pipe 22, abutting against the lower surface of the first surface 121. Through the structural and positional design of the bottom ring 221 of the supporting pipe 22 and the base 412 of the fixing component 41, this embodiment effectively prevents fumes from flowing out of the gap between the supporting pipe 22 and the first surface 121 while ensuring a stable installation of the supporting pipe 22, thus improving the sealing performance at the end of the supporting pipe 22.

[0045] To increase the flexibility and intelligence of the smoke collection device 2's placement, in this embodiment, the integrated stove also includes a drive device for driving the smoke collection device 2 to rotate around the central axis of the supporting pipe 22. The integrated stove also includes a transmission device that cooperates with the drive device. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive device includes a drive gear 6; the transmission device is a transmission gear 5 mounted on the bottom ring 221, and the transmission gear 5 meshes with the drive gear 6. Through the meshing relationship between the transmission gear 5 and the drive gear 6, the smoke collection device 2 can rotate around the central axis of the supporting pipe 22 under the drive of the drive device, adjusting the relative angle between the smoke inlet 2111 of the housing 21 and the cookware above the stove 111. This means that the integrated stove can achieve precise adsorption of cooking fumes. Furthermore, after use of the stove 111, the housing 21 can be returned to its original position using the drive device, resulting in a cleaner kitchen.

[0046] Furthermore, this embodiment also discloses the above-mentioned method of using the integrated stove, including the following steps:

[0047] S1. The monitoring probes of the two near-end fume sensors 31 respectively collect the fume concentration data near the stove 111 of the integrated stove, and then the communication module of the near-end fume sensor 31 uploads the fume concentration data to the controller.

[0048] S2. The controller analyzes the two sets of oil fume concentration data and, based on the analysis results, instructs the drive device to rotate the smoke collection device 2 around the central axis of the support pipe 22 until the box 21 rotates above the stove 111 to collect oil fumes.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Please see Figures 5-9 The integrated stove disclosed in this embodiment includes:

[0051] The machine body 1 has a tabletop 11 on which two stoves 111 are provided; two smoke collection devices 2 are respectively installed on the two sides of the tabletop 11 away from the user. When either stove 111 is turned on, the corresponding smoke collection device 2 will absorb the oil fumes rising above the stove 111.

[0052] The smoke collection device 2 includes a housing 21 for collecting oil fumes. The lower surface 211 of the housing 21 is provided with a smoke guide 2111. Therefore, oil fumes above the stove 111 flow into the housing 21 through the smoke guide 2111 on the lower surface 211, thus completing the initial absorption of the oil fumes. Since the oil fumes contain a large amount of grease, impurities, and oil fume particles, to prevent them from entering the interior of the housing 21 and accumulating and corroding its inner surface, an oil filter is also provided on the smoke guide 2111 in this embodiment. By setting up the oil filter, the service life of the integrated stove is extended, and the housing 21 is also easier to clean and maintain.

[0053] The housing 21 also includes a front surface 212, which is longitudinally disposed on the side closer to the user and whose lower end is connected to the lower surface 211. By designing the front surface 212, dead corners inside the housing 21 are reduced to a certain extent, which can prevent oil droplets and other substances from growing in the dead corners inside the housing 21, thus ensuring the quality of the housing 21.

[0054] To increase the collection surface area of ​​the smoke inlet 2111 and improve the smoke extraction efficiency, in this embodiment, the height of the end of the lower surface 211 closer to the user is higher than the height of the end of the lower surface 211 farther from the user. This inclined design of the lower surface 211 guides the smoke into the housing 21 along the lower surface 211, thereby reducing the possibility of smoke overflow and maintaining a clean kitchen environment.

[0055] To enhance the intelligence of the integrated stove's operation and improve its fume purification effect, a smoke detection device 3 is also installed on the housing 21. To maximize the fume detection area and obtain a more ideal fume concentration range, the smoke detection device 3 includes a distal fume sensor 32 mounted on the front surface 212 and a proximal fume sensor 31 mounted on the lower surface 211 near the body 1. By using the distal fume sensor 32 and the proximal fume sensor 31, the fume concentration at the location of the housing 21 can be clearly determined.

[0056] In addition to the aforementioned housing 21, the smoke collection device 2 also includes a support pipe 22 for mounting the housing 21 onto the body 1; the support pipe 22 is connected to one end of the housing 21. Therefore, the oil fumes collected by the housing 21 will flow along the direction of the support pipe 22. Furthermore, to improve the load-bearing capacity of the support pipe 22 on the housing 21, in this embodiment, the support pipe 22 is disposed on the lower surface 211 of the housing 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, the body 1 is further provided with a smoke collection chamber 12 and an air box that are sequentially connected to the supporting pipe 22. The smoke collection chamber 12 includes a first surface 121 for mounting the supporting pipe 22 and a second surface 122 corresponding to the first surface 121. A through hole is provided at the center of the second surface 122 for communicating with the air box. By providing the through hole, the fumes from the two smoke collection devices 2 can be collected, so the fumes can flow to the air box more effectively, resulting in better fume purification.

[0058] Furthermore, the airtightness of the installation between the supporting pipe 22 and the first surface 121 will significantly affect the fume extraction effect of the integrated stove. Therefore, the integrated stove in this embodiment also includes an installation device 4 for installing the supporting pipe 22 on the first surface 121. Specifically, the installation device 4 includes a fixing component 41, which includes a sleeve 411 fitted onto the surface of the supporting pipe 22. The lower end of the sleeve 411 has a base 412 that contacts the upper surface of the first surface 121. Further, to ensure stable installation of the supporting pipe 22 by the fixing component 41, a bottom ring 221 is formed at the lower end of the supporting pipe 22, abutting against the lower surface of the first surface 121. Through the structural and positional design of the bottom ring 221 of the supporting pipe 22 and the base 412 of the fixing component 41, this embodiment effectively prevents fumes from flowing out of the gap between the supporting pipe 22 and the first surface 121 while ensuring a stable installation of the supporting pipe 22, thus improving the sealing performance at the end of the supporting pipe 22. In addition, the mounting device 4 also includes a sealing fastener 42 mounted on the fixing component 41 and used to strengthen the connection between the sleeve 411 and the supporting pipe 22.

[0059] Specifically, the sealing fastener 42 has a reinforcing ring 421 inside, and the reinforcing ring 421 is provided with needle rollers. Correspondingly, the sleeve 411 is also provided with an annular wall groove 4111 that abuts against the reinforcing ring 421; the upper and lower ends of the annular wall groove 4111 are also provided with limiting rings 4112. In this embodiment, by setting the annular wall groove 4111, the limiting rings 4112, and the reinforcing ring 421, the sealing fastener 42 will be securely set on the sleeve 411, thus improving the long-term oil fume sealing effect of the equipment.

[0060] To increase the flexibility and intelligence of the smoke collection device 2's placement, in this embodiment, the integrated stove also includes a drive device for driving the smoke collection device 2 to rotate around the central axis of the supporting pipe 22. The integrated stove also includes a transmission device that cooperates with the drive device. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive device includes a drive gear 6; the transmission device is a transmission gear 5 mounted on the bottom ring 221, and the transmission gear 5 meshes with the drive gear 6. Through the meshing relationship between the transmission gear 5 and the drive gear 6, the smoke collection device 2 can rotate around the central axis of the supporting pipe 22 under the drive of the drive device, adjusting the relative angle between the smoke inlet 2111 of the housing 21 and the cookware above the stove 111. This means that the integrated stove can achieve precise adsorption of cooking fumes. Furthermore, after use of the stove 111, the housing 21 can be returned to its original position using the drive device, resulting in a cleaner kitchen.

[0061] Furthermore, this embodiment also discloses the above-mentioned method of using the integrated stove, including the following steps:

[0062] The monitoring probes of S1, near-end fume sensor 31, and far-end fume sensor 32 respectively collect the fume concentration data rising near the integrated stove 111, and then upload the fume concentration data to the controller through their respective communication modules.

[0063] S2. The controller analyzes the two sets of oil fume concentration data and, based on the analysis results, instructs the drive device to rotate the smoke collection device 2 around the central axis of the support pipe 22 until the box 21 rotates above the stove 111 to collect oil fumes.
