[0002] With the development of smart home technology, smart gas stoves have gradually become an important cooking tool in modern kitchens; smart gas stoves incorporate a variety of advanced technologies, possess menu cooking functions, and can provide cooking modes such as steaming, frying, boiling water, and cooking noodles through built-in smart menus, and realize intelligent operations such as automatic shutdown at a set time and cooking at a set temperature; these functions can, to a certain extent, improve cooking efficiency and convenience, and meet the personalized needs of users.

[0003] However, currently, the operation methods of most smart gas stoves on the market mainly rely on touch operation panels; users perform operations such as menu selection, timing setting, and temperature adjustment through the touch screen.

[0036] Embodiment 1, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a gas stove provided by this application. As Figure 1 shown, the gas stove includes a manual-automatic integrated valve 1 and a main controller 2.

[0037] The manual-automatic integrated valve 1 includes a multi-functional plug 10, a microswitch 11 and a linkage mechanism 12. Among them, the multi-functional plug 10 includes an intelligent control knob 100, a rotary encoder 101 installed inside the intelligent control knob 100, and a manual knob 102 installed below the intelligent control knob 100. The microswitch 11 and the linkage mechanism 12 are installed below the manual knob 102.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of a gas stove provided by this application.

[0039] In one embodiment, the gas stove provided by this application further includes: a manual plug valve 3.

[0040] Specifically, the manual plug valve 3 is used to manually rotate to select a firepower level and control the firepower size based on the firepower level.

[0041] Specifically, the manual cock valve 3 retains all the functions of a manual cock gas stove. When the power is low and the intelligent functions are limited, users can use the manual function normally, giving them sufficient time to replace the battery and avoiding the situation where the gas stove cannot be used due to low battery power, thus improving the user experience.

[0042] In one embodiment, the gas stove provided by the present application further includes: an intake air manifold component 4.

[0043] Specifically, the intake air manifold component 4 is respectively connected to the manual-automatic integrated valve 1, the manual cock valve 3, and the main controller 2.

[0044] Specifically, the intake air manifold component 4 is responsible for delivering gas from the gas source to different components of the gas stove, ensuring that the gas can reach the burner of the gas stove smoothly; and by connecting the intake air manifold component 4 to the main controller 2, the main controller 2 can control the gas flow through the motor valve 15, thereby controlling the flame of the gas stove.

[0045] In one embodiment, the multi-functional cock 10 further includes a fixing plate 103 and screws 104; as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the multi-functional cock provided by the present application.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing plate 103 is placed between the intelligent control knob 100 and the rotary encoder 101, and the screws 104 are used to fix the fixing plate 103 on the rotary encoder 101.

[0047] In one embodiment, the manual-automatic integrated valve 1 further includes: a pulse igniter 13, a flameout electromagnetic valve 14, and a motor valve 15, as Figure 4a shown, Figure 4a is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the manual-automatic integrated valve provided by the present application, as Figure 4b shown, Figure 4b is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the manual-automatic integrated valve provided by the present application.

[0048] Specifically, the micro switch 11 includes a first micro switch 110 and a second micro switch 111, and the link mechanism 12 includes a first link mechanism 120, a second link mechanism 121, and a valve core 122.

[0049] Specifically, the first link mechanism 120 is connected to the second link mechanism 121, the second link mechanism 121 is connected to the valve core 122, the valve core 122 is connected to the motor valve 15, and the motor valve 15 is connected to the main controller 2; the first microswitch 110 is connected to the pulse igniter 13, and the second microswitch 111 is connected to the manual cock valve 3.

[0050] Specifically, the first link mechanism 120 is located above the second link mechanism 121, the valve core 122 is located on the side of the second link mechanism 121, and the valve core 122 rotates with the rotation of the second link 121.

[0051] Specifically, the first microswitch 110 and the second microswitch 111 are respectively located on both sides of the first link mechanism 120, and when the first microswitch 110 and the second microswitch 111 are on both sides of the first link mechanism 120, their positions and heights are not corresponding.

[0052] Specifically, the first microswitch 110 and the second microswitch 111 are respectively rotatably connected to the first link mechanism 120.

[0053] Specifically, when the manual cock valve is pressed and rotated, it drives the first link mechanism 120 to rotate. During the rotation of the first link mechanism 120, the outer circumferential surface of the first link mechanism 120 comes into contact with and is connected to the first microswitch 110, and triggers the first microswitch 110 to be in a closed state.

[0054] Specifically, when the manual cock valve is pressed and rotated, it drives the first link mechanism 120 to rotate. When the manual cock valve 3 is manually rotated to the maximum fire state, the first link mechanism 120 comes into contact with and is connected to the second microswitch 111, and triggers the second microswitch 111 to be in a closed state.

[0055] In one embodiment, the rotary encoder 101 is connected to the main controller 2, and the main controller 2 is configured to identify the pulse signal generated by the rotary encoder 101 due to the rotation of the intelligent control knob and perform the fire control corresponding to the target intelligent menu.

[0056] Specifically, the opening, selection, setting and other functions of the intelligent menu are controlled by rotating the intelligent control knob 100.

[0057] Specifically, since the rotary encoder 101 is installed on the intelligent control knob 100 and is used to detect the rotation action and position of the intelligent control knob 100, when the user rotates the intelligent control knob 100, the rotary encoder 101 can convert this mechanical rotation into an electrical signal, that is, a pulse signal.

[0058] Specifically, when the intelligent control knob 100 is rotated, the rotary encoder 101 generates pulse signals, and these pulse signals are transmitted to the main controller 2 through the connection line; the main controller 2 determines the rotation intention of the intelligent control knob 100 by identifying these pulse signals, such as which intelligent menu is selected.

[0059] Specifically, once the main controller 2 identifies the pulse signals transmitted by the rotary encoder 101, it will execute the corresponding target intelligent menu according to the content of the pulse signals; for example, if the user selects the "soup cooking" mode by rotating the intelligent control knob, the main controller 2 will start the preset "soup cooking" program.

[0060] Specifically, when the target intelligent menu is executed, the main controller 2 will adjust the gas flow by controlling the valve opening of the motor valve 15 according to the firepower requirements of the target intelligent menu, so as to achieve precise firepower control; this firepower control includes but is not limited to turning off the fire at a fixed time, cooking at a fixed temperature, or other preset cooking parameters.

[0061] Specifically, the intelligent menu includes but is not limited to constant temperature, frying, pan-frying, noodle cooking, steaming and stewing, boiling, soup cooking, and timing, etc.; as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the interface of the intelligent menu in a gas stove provided by the present application. The intelligent menu is set at the outer circumferential position of the hand-automatic integrated valve 1; the intelligent menu adopts a rotary knob type intelligent menu automatic selection mode, which can realize timing setting and constant temperature setting, greatly shortening the operation time of the user.

[0062] In one embodiment, when the manual knob 102 is subjected to a downward pressing and rotating force, the manual ignition or manual flameout is controlled through the link mechanism 12 and the micro switch 11.

[0063] Specifically, the user directly controls the gas supply and ignition of the gas stove by pressing and rotating the manual knob 102.

[0064] Specifically, when the manual knob 102 is pressed down, it transmits the downward pressing and rotating force through the first link mechanism 120 and the second link mechanism 121, and then drives the valve core 122 to rotate, realizing the manual adjustment of the valve opening of the motor valve 15, that is, opening or closing the gas supply; and the flameout solenoid valve 14 is manually opened by being pressed by the first link mechanism 120.

[0065] Specifically, the microswitch 11 closes when the manual knob 102 is pressed down. When the first microswitch 110 closes, the main controller 2 simultaneously powers on the flameout solenoid valve 14 to keep the flameout solenoid valve 14 in the open valve state, and this action also triggers the pulse igniter 13 to start ignition; the closing of the first microswitch 110 connects the circuit of the pulse igniter 13, enabling the pulse igniter 13 to generate sparks and ignite the gas.

[0066] Specifically, when the manual knob 102 is pressed down, it first acts on the first microswitch 110, causing the first microswitch 110 to close and starting the pulse igniter for ignition operation; at the same time, the first link mechanism 120 and the second link mechanism 121 rotate due to the pressing and rotating action of the manual knob 102, thereby opening the flameout solenoid valve 14 and keeping it powered on to ensure the stability of the gas flow; at this time, the gas is ignited to ensure the normal operation of the stove.

[0067] Specifically, when the user releases the manual knob 102, that is, when the manual knob 102 is not pressed and rotated, the link mechanism 12 will reset, thereby causing the flameout solenoid valve to close and the valve of the motor valve 15 to be closed. At the same time, the first microswitch 110 opens, disconnecting the circuit of the pulse igniter 13 and stopping generating sparks to achieve manual flameout.

[0068] In one embodiment, the gas stove described in the present application can be a plug-in gas stove or an integrated stove; and the manual-automatic integrated valve can be used for the integrated control of multiple burners, where the multiple burners include but are not limited to single burner, double burner, and triple burner, etc.

[0069] In one embodiment, by setting the manual-automatic integrated valve to a double-layer design, with the intelligent control knob on the upper layer and the manual knob on the lower layer, it can achieve the combination of manual firepower adjustment and automatic firepower adjustment, realize manual-automatic integrated control, and take into account the intelligent requirements and the user habits of traditional operations, greatly reducing the usage threshold of the intelligent stove.

[0070] Embodiment 2, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for manual-automatic integrated control of a gas stove provided by the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the manual-automatic integrated control method is applied to the gas stove described in the above embodiment, and the manual-automatic integrated control method includes Step 201 - Step 202, specifically as follows:

[0071] Step 201: Detect the rotation amplitude of the intelligent control knob through the rotary encoder, and generate a pulse signal corresponding to the rotation amplitude based on the rotation amplitude.

[0072] Specifically, in a gas stove, the intelligent control knob is connected to a rotary encoder, which is a sensor that can detect and measure the rotational position of the intelligent control knob.

[0073] Specifically, when the user rotates the intelligent control knob, the rotary encoder can detect the rotation amplitude of the intelligent control knob, that is, the rotation angle of the intelligent control knob.

[0074] Specifically, after detecting the rotation amplitude, the rotary encoder generates corresponding pulse signals, which contain the rotation position information of the intelligent control knob, such as the rotation direction and the rotation amount.

[0075] Step 202: Send the pulse signal to the main controller so that after receiving the pulse signal, the main controller determines the target intelligent menu corresponding to the pulse signal, and based on the target firepower value corresponding to the target intelligent menu, adjusts the valve opening of the motor valve to perform automatic fire control.

[0076] Specifically, each intelligent menu corresponds to a specific rotational position of the intelligent control knob and a specific set of firepower values.

[0077] Specifically, after receiving the pulse signal sent by the rotary encoder, the main controller analyzes and processes the pulse signal to confirm the target rotational position of the intelligent control knob corresponding to the pulse signal, and based on the target rotational position, determines the corresponding target intelligent menu.

[0078] Specifically, after determining the target intelligent menu, the main controller adjusts the valve opening of the motor valve according to the target firepower value corresponding to the target intelligent menu. Among them, the motor valve is responsible for controlling the gas flow, thereby controlling the size of the firepower.

[0079] Specifically, by adjusting the opening of the motor valve by the main controller, the main controller can achieve automatic fire control, enabling the gas stove to automatically adjust the firepower according to the requirements of the intelligent menu without manual adjustment by the user; in this way, the user only needs to select the corresponding intelligent menu, and the gas stove can automatically complete the cooking task, making the operation of the gas stove more convenient and intelligent.

[0080] In one embodiment, when it is detected that the flame-out solenoid valve is in the open state and the first microswitch is in the closed state, the flame-out solenoid valve is energized, and the pulse igniter is controlled to perform an ignition operation until the ignition operation is completed, and then the flame-out solenoid valve is de-energized; wherein, the open state of the flame-out solenoid valve is the state when the flame-out solenoid valve is in the downward rotation state under the downward rotation force applied by the manual knob on the first link mechanism and the second link mechanism; the closed state of the first microswitch is the state when the manual knob is in the downward rotation state under the downward rotation force applied by the intelligent control knob, driving the link mechanism to rotate so that the link mechanism closes the first microswitch.

[0081] Specifically, the flame-out solenoid valve is an important component in a gas stove, used to control the supply of gas; when the flame-out solenoid valve is open, gas can flow to the burner.

[0082] Specifically, the open state of the flame-out solenoid valve is controlled by the first link mechanism and the second link mechanism. These two link mechanisms are subjected to the downward rotation force applied by the manual knob, causing the flame-out solenoid valve to be in the downward rotation state and thus open.

[0083] Specifically, the microswitch is a small switch used to detect mechanical positions or actions. In a gas stove, the first microswitch is used to detect the position of the manual knob; when the manual knob is subjected to the downward rotation force applied by the intelligent control knob, the link mechanism will rotate and close the first microswitch, and this action indicates that the user has rotated the manual knob to the ignition position.

[0084] Specifically, when the flame-out solenoid valve is in the open state and the first microswitch is closed, the main controller will detect these two conditions and then energize the flame-out solenoid valve. This energization action is to maintain the open state of the flame-out solenoid valve. At the same time, the pulse igniter starts to perform the ignition operation; the pulse igniter is a device that can generate electric sparks and is used to ignite gas.

[0085] Specifically, the ignition operation will continue until the gas is successfully ignited. Whether the gas is ignited is usually determined by detecting the presence of a flame through a thermocouple; once the flame is detected, indicating that the ignition operation is completed, the system will de-energize the flame-out solenoid valve; after de-energization, the flame-out solenoid valve will remain in the open valve state but no longer requires an external power source to maintain.

[0086] Specifically, after ignition, the maintenance of the flame-out solenoid valve no longer depends on an external power source but is maintained by the electricity generated by the thermocouple; the thermocouple is a sensor that generates an electromotive force in a flame, and the electricity it generates is sufficient to maintain the open valve state of the flame-out solenoid valve.

[0087] In one embodiment, by pressing and rotating the manual rotary valve by the user, zero-second manual ignition can be achieved. An example of the zero-second manual ignition process is as follows: after the manual rotary plug is pressed and rotated, the flameout solenoid valve is manually opened by being pressed by the linkage mechanism. At the same time, based on the rotation of the linkage mechanism, the first micro switch is pressed to make it closed and connected, and the pulse igniter starts to be powered on for 3 - 5 seconds. While the pulse igniter is powered on, the flameout solenoid valve is also powered on to maintain the open valve state. After the pulse igniter works, the gas is ignited at the burner. The pulse igniter is powered off, and the thermocouple generates a potential difference after the flame burns, providing a holding current for the flameout solenoid valve to keep the flameout solenoid valve in the open valve state during the combustion process.

[0088] For the intelligent gas stoves on the market, although users need to rotate the manual valve to the maximum fire and then turn on the intelligent function, when the user is in a non-maximum fire state, the intelligent function can still be turned on, which may lead to the cooking temperature not reaching the preset temperature, increasing the cooking time, and even the food not being cooked thoroughly, extremely affecting the cooking effect. The intelligent function may become a useless function in the eyes of users.

[0089] In one embodiment, when it is detected that the gas stove has completed the ignition operation and the manual rotary plug valve is manually rotated to the maximum fire state, the second micro switch is controlled to close, and the main controller is controlled to enter the standby state.

[0090] Specifically, when the gas stove has completed the ignition operation, it means that the gas has been ignited and a stable flame has been formed. At the same time, the user rotates the manual rotary plug valve to the maximum fire state, which is usually to ensure that the gas stove can provide the maximum firepower.

[0091] Specifically, the closed state of the second micro switch indicates that the manual rotary plug valve has been rotated to the maximum fire state. Among them, the closed state of the second micro switch is used to notify the main controller that the gas stove is ready for intelligent control.

[0092] Specifically, in the standby state, the main controller consumes less electrical energy and waits for further operation instructions from the user. This state also means that the intelligent control function has not been activated.

[0093] In one embodiment, when the main controller receives the pulse signal sent by the rotary encoder, the main controller is controlled to enter the normal working state, and the target firepower value is determined based on the target intelligent menu corresponding to the pulse signal. The current temperature of the gas stove is obtained based on the temperature sensor, and the temperature difference between the target temperature corresponding to the target firepower value and the current temperature of the gas stove is calculated. Based on this, the main controller automatically adjusts the valve opening of the motor valve according to the temperature difference to perform automatic firepower control.

[0094] Specifically, once the main controller receives the pulse signal from the rotary encoder, it will change from the standby state to the normal working state and be ready to execute intelligent control tasks.

[0095] Specifically, the main controller analyzes the pulse signal to determine the target intelligent menu selected by the user, and determines the corresponding target firepower values according to the target intelligent menu. These target firepower values are preset in the intelligent menu to ensure the firepower control during the cooking process.

[0096] Specifically, the main controller of the gas stove monitors the difference between the target temperature corresponding to the target firepower value and the current temperature of the gas stove in real time through the temperature sensor. The main controller calculates the difference between the target temperature corresponding to the target firepower value and the current temperature of the gas stove. According to the calculated temperature difference, the main controller automatically adjusts the valve opening of the motor valve to adjust the gas flow rate, thereby changing the firepower and making the temperature of the gas stove close to the target temperature to achieve automatic control of the firepower, ensuring that the gas stove can automatically adjust the firepower according to the requirements of the intelligent menu without manual intervention by the user.

[0097] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 is the schematic diagram of the gas path of a gas stove provided by this application; the motor valve is located at the main gas path position of the left gas path of the gas stove, and its main function is to control the size of the gas flow rate of the entire gas path; the motor valve can adjust the opening degree electrically to accurately control the gas supply volume.

[0098] Specifically, in the manual adjustment mode, the motor valve is set to the maximum valve opening state, which means it allows the maximum gas flow rate to pass through; in this mode, the size of the firepower depends entirely on the valve size of the manual cock; the user adjusts the firepower by rotating the manual cock to control the size of the outer ring fire and the inner ring fire; only when the manual cock is rotated to the position of the maximum valve opening, the corresponding micro switch will close, and then the intelligent mode can be activated; this design ensures that the intelligent mode will not be wrongly started in the non-maximum firepower state.

[0099] Specifically, in the intelligent mode, the adjustment of the firepower is no longer controlled manually by the user, but by the motor valve; the valve opening of the motor valve is determined by the target intelligent recipe program on the main controller; this means that the gas stove can automatically adjust the firepower according to the preset target intelligent recipe without any manual adjustment by the user; and since the manual cock is already in the maximum opening state in the intelligent mode, the firepower adjustment is no longer affected by the manual cock, which can ensure the accuracy of the firepower adjustment of the target intelligent recipe and avoid poor cooking effects caused by inaccurate manual adjustment.

[0100] An example description of the automatic firepower adjustment process in this embodiment is as follows: After the gas stove completes the ignition operation, the manual cock is adjusted to the maximum fire state, and the link mechanism triggers the second micro switch to close. After the main controller obtains the maximum fire state and the closed state of the second micro switch, the controller responsible for the intelligent part enters the low-power standby state, waiting for the user's next operation. If the user operates with the intelligent control knob, the main controller will obtain the pulse signal sent by the rotary encoder and enter the normal working state. When the user rotates the intelligent control knob, at this time, the display intelligent menu set on the outer circumference of the intelligent control knob will be lit in sequence. When the user presses the intelligent control knob, the corresponding target intelligent menu is selected, and the target intelligent menu program is executed, such as soup cooking, timing, etc. At this time, the gas stove does not require the user to manually adjust the firepower. The main controller compares the target firepower value set on the target intelligent menu program with the current temperature of the gas stove detected by the temperature sensor, and intelligently rotates the valve opening of the motor valve to adjust the firepower, realizing the automatic custody of the firepower.

[0101] Specifically, through real-time monitoring and adjustment, it is ensured that the gas stove can automatically control the firepower according to the preset intelligent menu, realizing precise cooking control; this automated firepower control improves the efficiency and quality of cooking, while reducing the user's manual operation.
