[0047] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This invention provides a method for adjusting the speed of a gas stove, applied to the controller of the gas stove; see also Figure 1 The flowchart shown in this embodiment of the invention provides a method for adjusting the gear level of a gas stove. The method includes:

[0050] Step S102: Respond to the gear adjustment signal and obtain the adjusted gear of the gas stove.

[0051] Specifically, when users need to adjust the power level, they input the adjustment signal through the operating interface. For example, users can increase or decrease the power by touching the "+" or "-" buttons on the screen, or directly input the adjusted power level, such as inputting level 9.

[0052] Step S104: Detect the current setting of the gas stove.

[0053] Specifically, the controller detects the current flame level through sensors connected to the gas stove. These sensors can be temperature sensors, flow sensors, etc., used to monitor the gas flow or combustion status in real time. Generally, the controller can directly obtain the current flame level information by checking historical records, or it can detect the rotation angle of the knob and determine the current flame level based on the rotation angle.

[0054] Step S106: Determine the target speed when adjusting the gear using the knob based on the current gear and the adjusted gear.

[0055] Specifically, the controller calculates the angle difference that the knob needs to be adjusted based on the user-set target setting and the detected current setting, and further determines the target rotation speed of the knob. During this process, the controller takes into account the characteristic curve of the gas stove to ensure a smooth adjustment process and avoid excessive shocks.

[0056] Furthermore, existing gas stove burners are mostly configured to include an inner ring flame and an outer ring flame. When the burner is below a certain setting, only the inner ring flame is activated; when the burner is above a certain setting, both the inner and outer ring flames are activated simultaneously. In this embodiment, the target speed can be determined based on whether the outer ring flame is activated or deactivated. For example, the gas stove has 9 settings: settings 1 to 4 activate the inner ring flame, settings 5 ​​to 9 activate both the inner and outer ring flames simultaneously, and the current setting is setting 4. If the adjusted setting is setting 1, and the outer ring flame is not activated during the flame adjustment process, a preset low speed is determined as the target speed, and the knob is rotated at the target speed. If the current setting is setting 4, and the adjusted setting is setting 8, and the outer ring flame is activated during the flame adjustment process, a preset high speed is determined as the target speed, and the knob is rotated at the target speed. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the aforementioned low and high speeds can be constant speeds or variable speeds.

[0057] When adjusting gears, user experience should be a primary consideration. Sometimes, a large gear difference can lead to a prolonged adjustment time due to the fixed motor speed, resulting in a poor user experience. In some preferred embodiments of this invention, the motor speed can be adjusted based on the gear difference. For example, if the gear difference is less than 3 gears, a slower adjustment can be made; if the difference is between 3 and 6 gears, a more uniform adjustment can be made; and if the difference is more than 6 gears, a faster adjustment can be made.

[0058] Step S108: Control the knob drive mechanism to rotate the knob at the target speed to achieve the gas stove gear adjustment.

[0059] Specifically, the controller sends a control signal to the knob drive mechanism, which then rotates the knob to the designated position at the target speed. The rotation of the knob directly affects the opening of the gas valve via a mechanical linkage or other transmission device, thereby regulating the gas flow and flame intensity.

[0060] This invention provides a method for adjusting the gear level of a gas stove, applied to a gas stove controller. The method includes: responding to a gear level adjustment signal and acquiring the adjusted gear level of the gas stove; detecting the current gear level of the gas stove; determining a target rotation speed for adjusting the gear level using a knob based on the current gear level and the adjusted gear level; controlling the knob drive mechanism to rotate the knob at the target rotation speed to achieve gear level adjustment; and determining the target rotation speed of the knob based on the acquired adjusted gear level and the current gear level, providing different target rotation speeds for different adjustment situations, reducing delays caused by large gear level adjustment ranges, and improving the user experience.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] Most cooktops currently feature outer and inner ring flames. Taking a nine-speed cooktop as an example, when the speed setting is five or higher, both the outer and inner ring flames activate simultaneously. When the speed setting is lower than five, the outer ring flame is off, and only the inner ring flame operates. When adjusting the speed slightly, the knob can move smoothly. However, when the speed change is significant and involves the activation and deactivation of the outer ring flame, the knob movement may be delayed, preventing immediate adjustment to the desired speed. This could result in the cooktop screen displaying a high setting before the outer ring flame is activated, or vice versa. Users might perceive this as a slow speed change and a poor user experience. In such cases, the motor speed can be adjusted based on the cooktop's speed settings to reduce the flame delay and improve usability.

[0063] Based on this, and taking a gas stove with nine gears as an example, this embodiment of the invention provides another method for adjusting the gears of a gas stove, which mainly determines the target speed based on the gears before and after adjustment.

[0064] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the target speed includes: a first speed and a second speed; wherein the first speed is less than the second speed. The step of determining the target speed when adjusting the knob based on the current gear and the adjusted gear includes: if the current gear is greater than a preset adjustment gear, and the adjusted gear is greater than the preset adjustment gear, then the preset first speed is determined as the target speed.

[0065] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the step of determining the target speed when adjusting the knob based on the current gear and the adjusted gear further includes: if the current gear is greater than a preset adjustment gear and the adjusted gear is less than or equal to the preset adjustment gear, then the preset second speed is determined as the target speed.

[0066] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the step of determining the target speed when adjusting the knob based on the current gear and the adjusted gear further includes: if the current gear is less than or equal to a preset adjustment gear, and the adjusted gear is less than or equal to the preset adjustment gear, then the preset first speed is determined as the target speed.

[0067] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the step of determining the target speed when adjusting the knob based on the current gear and the adjusted gear further includes: if the current gear is less than or equal to a preset adjustment gear, and the adjusted gear is greater than the preset adjustment gear, then the preset second speed is determined as the target speed.

[0068] For example, see Figure 2The flowchart shown is for another gas stove gear adjustment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the four gears in the following examples are the adjustment gears in this embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:

[0069] Step A1: The user turns on the stove, and the stove begins to work.

[0070] Step A2: The stove receives a power level adjustment signal; the user sends a signal remotely or automatically through the recipe program to command the stove to adjust the current power level; the stove detects the power level adjustment signal and executes step A3.

[0071] Step A3: Check the current firepower of the stove.

[0072] Step A4: Check if the current setting is greater than four. If it is greater than four, it means that the outer ring flame of the stove is on. Proceed to step B1. If it is not greater than four, it means that the outer ring flame of the stove is off. Proceed to step C1.

[0073] Step B1: Check the adjusted firepower level of the stove.

[0074] Step B2: Check if the adjusted gear is greater than four. If it is greater than four, it means that the outer ring ignition is still running after adjustment, and proceed to step C3; if it is not greater than four, it means that the outer ring ignition is turned off after adjustment, and proceed to step B3.

[0075] In step B3, the motor operates at the second speed to accelerate the rotation of the knob.

[0076] Step C1: Check the adjusted firepower level of the stove.

[0077] Step C2: Check if the adjusted gear is greater than four. If it is greater than four, it means that the outer ring ignition has started after adjustment, and proceed to step B3; if it is not greater than four, it means that the outer ring ignition is still off after adjustment, and proceed to step C3.

[0078] In step C3, the motor operates at the first speed, and the knob rotates at a constant speed.

[0079] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the target speed further includes: a third speed and a fourth speed; wherein the third speed is less than the fourth speed; the step of determining the target speed when adjusting the gear based on the current gear and the adjusted gear further includes: determining a gear adjustment value based on the current gear and the adjusted gear; if the gear adjustment value is less than or equal to a preset adjustment threshold, determining the preset third speed as the target speed; if the gear adjustment value is greater than the preset adjustment threshold, determining the preset fourth speed as the target speed.

[0080] Specifically, when the gear adjustment value is less than or equal to the preset adjustment threshold, it indicates that the user expects a small change in firepower. In this case, selecting a lower third speed as the target speed will meet the adjustment needs. This design helps avoid unnecessary high-speed rotation, reduces mechanical wear, and provides the user with a smoother firepower transition. When the gear adjustment value is greater than the preset adjustment threshold, it means that the user needs a larger change in firepower. In this case, the system will automatically select a higher fourth speed as the target speed. For example, when the difference between the gears before and after adjustment is less than 3 gears, a slower third speed can be used for adjustment; when the difference is greater than 3 gears, a faster fourth speed can be used for adjustment. It should be noted that both the third and fourth speeds can be constant speeds or variable speeds. Using a higher speed allows for faster gear adjustment to meet the user's need for rapid changes in firepower. This combination of high and low speeds ensures both timely adjustment and smooth operation and equipment durability.

[0081] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the gas stove includes: a knob drive mechanism, a knob, and a controller; the knob drive mechanism is drive-connected to the knob; and the controller is electrically connected to the knob drive mechanism.

[0082] Specifically, the rotational motion of the electric motor in the knob drive mechanism is transmitted to the knob, enabling it to precisely adjust the flame intensity. This transmission connection ensures that the knob can be smoothly and accurately rotated to the designated position, thereby adjusting the gas flow to change the flame intensity.

[0083] The knob is the user's direct interface, allowing them to manually adjust the flame level by rotating it. In electronically controlled gas stoves, the knob's position and operation are captured by sensors and transmitted to the controller. In some gas stove designs, the knob may serve only as a decorative or auxiliary function, with the primary adjustment function automatically controlled by the electronic system.

[0084] The controller is the brain of the gas stove, typically containing a microprocessor and other electronic components. It receives instructions from the user interface (such as buttons, a touchscreen, or remote control) and controls the knob drive mechanism accordingly. Based on a set program or algorithm, the controller calculates the necessary speed and direction of rotation, then sends an electrical signal to the knob drive mechanism, driving the knob to the appropriate position for precise flame control.

[0085] The electrical connection between the controller and the knob drive mechanism is achieved through a circuit. The controller sends a low-voltage control signal to the knob drive mechanism to instruct it on how to operate.

[0086] The drive mechanism for the knob is mechanically connected to the knob, for example, through mechanical components such as gears, connecting rods, or belts. This allows the knob to rotate as the drive mechanism moves, thereby adjusting the opening and closing degree of the gas valve and affecting the gas flow rate of the burner.

[0087] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the knob drive mechanism includes: a reduction gear assembly and a rotary motor; the reduction gear assembly includes: a first gear 100, a second gear 200, a third gear 300 and a fourth gear 400; the first gear 100 meshes with the second gear 200; the second gear 200 and the third gear 300 are coaxial; the third gear 300 meshes with the fourth gear 400; the output end of the rotary motor is drivenly connected to the first gear 100; the fourth gear 400 is drivenly connected to the knob.

[0088] For details, see Figure 3 The schematic diagram of a speed reduction assembly provided in the embodiment of the present invention shown shows that the diameter of the first gear 100 is smaller than that of the second gear 200, the diameter of the second gear 200 is larger than that of the third gear 300, and the diameter of the third gear 300 is smaller than that of the fourth gear 400. The rotating shaft of the rotary motor drives the first gear 100 to rotate. Through the meshing of the small gear and the large gear, the speed is gradually reduced and the torque is increased, thereby greatly reducing the rotational speed of the knob that is connected to the fourth gear 400 and greatly increasing the torque.

[0089] Specifically, the first gear 100 is connected to the motor, and its angular velocity and torque are equal to those of the motor. The second gear 200 is connected to the stove knob, and the angular velocity and torque of the stove knob are equal to those of the second gear 200. Based on the formula for gear torque and rotational speed, the relationship between the rotational speed and torque of the motor and the stove knob can be obtained, where T represents gear torque, N represents gear rotational speed, Z represents the number of gear teeth, and η represents gear transmission efficiency. The motor's torque and rotational speed are equal to those of the first gear 100, and the stove knob's torque and rotational speed are equal to those of the second gear 200. The derived formula is as follows:

[0090] T3=η×(Z3 / Z1)×T1; T4=T3; T2=η×(Z2 / Z4)×T4;

[0091] T2=η 2 ×(Z3 / Z1)×(Z2 / Z4)×T1;

[0092] N3=(Z1 / Z3)×N1; N4=N3; N2=(Z4 / Z2)×N4;

[0093] N2 = (Z1 / Z3) × (Z4 / Z2) × N1;

[0094] Wherein, T1 is the torque of the first gear 100, T2 is the torque of the second gear 200, T3 is the torque of the third gear 300, T4 is the torque of the fourth gear 400, Z1 is the number of teeth of the first gear 100, Z2 is the number of teeth of the second gear 200, Z3 is the number of teeth of the third gear 300, Z4 is the number of teeth of the fourth gear 400, N1 is the rotational speed of the first gear 100, N2 is the rotational speed of the second gear 200, N3 is the rotational speed of the third gear 300, and N4 is the rotational speed of the fourth gear 400.

[0095] The above formula derivation shows that the motor torque increases significantly after the gear set is used. This increase in torque can be controlled by adjusting the number of teeth on the gears. This means that compared to directly driving the knob with a motor, a motor with lower power and torque can be used to meet the functional requirements. This also reduces the stove's power consumption and increases the motor's lifespan.
