Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly to a cooktop panel assembly and a cooktop including the same. Background Art

[0002] The main functions of the cooktop panel gasket strip are spacer, gap adjustment, sealing, waterproofing, fixing, etc. On the one hand, the edge of the panel gasket strip must coincide with the edge of the panel. On the other hand, the panel gasket strip must also have sufficient width to limit the chassis skirt, facilitating assembly by production line workers.

[0003] In the prior art, as Figure 1 shown, it includes a cooktop panel 1' and a gasket strip assembly. The cooktop panel includes a first edge 11', a second edge 12', a third edge 13' and a fourth edge 14'; the gasket strip assembly includes a first gasket strip 21', a second gasket strip 22', a third gasket strip 23' and a fourth gasket strip 24'. A through hole 3' is also provided on the cooktop panel.

[0004] In the existing glass panel gasket strips, usually the gasket strip assembly is directly designed as a rectangle, which results in a large usage area of the raw materials of the gasket strip assembly, high cost, and low utilization rate of the raw materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of too low utilization rate of the raw materials of the gasket strip assembly in the prior art, and provide a cooktop panel assembly and a cooktop including the same.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problem by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cooktop panel assembly includes a gasket strip assembly and a cooktop panel. The gasket strip assembly includes a first gasket strip, a second gasket strip, a third gasket strip and a fourth gasket strip. The cooktop panel includes a first edge and a second edge spaced apart in its width direction, and a third edge and a fourth edge spaced apart in its length direction. The first gasket strip is connected to the first edge, the second gasket strip is connected to the second edge, the third gasket strip is connected to the third edge, and the fourth gasket strip is connected to the fourth edge;

[0008] The second gasket strip is provided with a first groove and a second groove, and the openings of the first groove and the second groove both face the first gasket strip; the third gasket strip is provided with a first protrusion, and the fourth gasket strip is provided with a second protrusion. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided at one end of the third gasket strip and the fourth gasket strip facing each other;

[0009] The width of the first protruding portion in the length direction of the cooktop panel is the same as the depth of the first groove in the width direction of the cooktop panel, and the length of the first protruding portion in the width direction of the cooktop panel is the same as the length of the first groove in the length direction of the cooktop panel; the width of the second protruding portion in the length direction of the cooktop panel is the same as the depth of the second groove in the width direction of the cooktop panel, and the length of the second protruding portion in the width direction of the cooktop panel is the same as the length of the second groove in the length direction of the cooktop panel.

[0010] In this solution, by providing grooves on the second cushion strip and protruding portions on the third and fourth cushion strips, without affecting the widths of the second, third, and fourth cushion strips, the third and fourth cushion strips occupy part of the material of the second cushion strip. At the same time, the protective effect of the cushion strip is not affected. This solution reduces the volume of the cushion strip assembly and improves the utilization rate of the cushion strip raw material without affecting the use of the cushion strip assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooktop panel.

[0012] In this solution, the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip are symmetric. After installation, the stress on both sides of the cooktop panel during use is balanced, greatly reducing the risk of damage caused by uneven stress, improving the stability and durability of the panel, and effectively extending the service life of the panel.

[0013] Preferably, the cooktop panel further includes two through holes that are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooktop panel. The through holes are used to place burners, and at least part of the first protruding portion and the through holes are located at the same width position of the cooktop panel in the width direction.

[0014] In this solution, by arranging the first protruding portion close to the through hole, when the cooktop panel bears an external force, the first protruding portion can fully participate in the force, reasonably disperse the stress that might originally be concentrated around the through hole, achieve an even distribution of stress, avoid excessive local stress at the through hole causing damage to the panel, and make the stress state of the entire cooktop panel more uniform, improving the anti-damage ability of the panel.

[0015] Preferably, the central axis of the through hole in the length direction of the cooktop panel is parallel to the central axis of the first protruding portion in the length direction of the cooktop panel.

[0016] In this solution, the above setting makes the relative position of the through hole and the first protruding portion optimal, with the minimum stress when the through hole is stressed, effectively reducing the possibility of overall damage to the cooktop caused by deformation of the through hole under stress.

[0017] Preferably, a plane where one end face of the first protruding portion is located in the width direction of the cooktop panel and the hole wall of the through hole form an intersection point p, and a connecting line between the intersection point p and the center of the through hole forms an included angle A with the width direction of the cooktop panel, and the value range of the included angle A is 0° - 30°.

[0018] In this solution, the above-mentioned included angle range enables the stress distribution between the first protruding portion and the through hole to be the most balanced when the cooktop panel is stressed, improving the stability of the cooktop panel.

[0019] Preferably, the first groove and the second groove are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooktop panel.

[0020] In this solution, the symmetry of the first groove and the second groove enables the stress at the second edge to be balanced during the use of the cooktop panel after installation, greatly reducing the risk of damage caused by uneven stress, improving the stability and durability of the panel, and effectively extending the service life of the panel.

[0021] Preferably, the sum of the lengths of the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip in the width direction of the cooktop panel is equal to the length of the second cushion strip in the length direction of the cooktop panel;

[0022] The third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip have the same width in the length direction of the cooktop panel.

[0023] In this solution, the sum of the lengths of the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip is equal to the length of the second cushion strip, and during the production process, it can be directly cut from a complete cushion strip without further length adjustment, which is convenient for production. At the same time, the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip have the same width and can be directly symmetrically cut from a longer cushion strip. The third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip are respectively located on both sides of the cooktop panel, and the same width can enable the stress to be evenly dispersed when the cooktop panel bears an external force, making it not easy to be damaged.

[0024] Preferably, both ends of the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip are respectively abutted against the first cushion strip and the second cushion strip.

[0025] In this solution, the abutment of the cushion strips can not only play a sealing role, and no liquid will penetrate through the gap between the cushion strips to the bottom of the cooktop panel during use, resulting in uncleanability, improving the overall anti-overflow effect; at the same time, the edges of the cushion strips abut against each other without generating stress notches, causing the cooktop panel to be damaged due to uneven stress, improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0026] Preferably, an end face of the third cushion strip away from the fourth cushion strip in the length direction of the cooktop panel and an end face of the cooktop panel away from the fourth cushion strip in its length direction are located in the same plane;

[0027] One end face of the fourth cushion strip, which is far from the third cushion strip in the length direction of the cooktop panel, is located in the same plane as one end face of the cooktop panel, which is far from the third cushion strip in its length direction.

[0028] In this solution, one side of the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip coincides with the edge of the cooktop panel, so that the cushion strip does not protrude from the cooktop panel, affecting the overall aesthetics of the cooktop panel. At the same time, there will be no difficult-to-clean space between the bottom of the cooktop and the cushion strip, resulting in water accumulation, effectively improving the practicability of the cooktop panel.

[0029] A cooktop includes the above-mentioned cooktop panel assembly.

[0030] The positive and progressive effects of the present invention are as follows: By providing a groove in the second cushion strip and protrusions on the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip, without affecting the width of the second cushion strip, the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip, the third cushion strip and the fourth cushion strip occupy part of the material of the second cushion strip. At the same time, the protective effect of the cushion strip is not affected. This solution reduces the volume of the cushion strip assembly and improves the utilization rate of the cushion strip raw material without affecting the use of the cushion strip assembly.

[0062] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments thereby.

[0063] In this embodiment, a cooktop is provided. The cooktop includes a cooktop panel assembly. As Figures 2 - 4 shown, the cooktop panel assembly includes a cushion strip assembly 2 and a cooktop panel 1. The cushion strip assembly 2 includes a first cushion strip 21, a second cushion strip 22, a third cushion strip 23 and a fourth cushion strip 24. The cooktop panel 1 includes a first edge 11 and a second edge 12 that are spaced apart in its width direction, and a third edge 13 and a fourth edge 14 that are spaced apart in its length direction. The first cushion strip 21 is connected to the first edge 11, the second cushion strip 22 is connected to the second edge 12, the third cushion strip 23 is connected to the third edge 13, and the fourth cushion strip 24 is connected to the fourth edge 14.

[0064] The second cushion strip 22 is provided with a first groove 221 and a second groove 222, and the openings of the first groove 221 and the second groove 222 both face the first cushion strip; the third cushion strip 23 is provided with a first protrusion 231, and the fourth cushion strip 24 is provided with a second protrusion 241. The first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241 are arranged at one end of the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 facing each other; the width of the first protrusion 231 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is the same as the depth of the first groove 221 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1, and the length of the first protrusion 231 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is the same as the length of the first groove 221 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1; the width of the second protrusion 241 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is the same as the depth of the second groove 222 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1, and the length of the second protrusion 241 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is the same as the length of the second groove 222 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1.

[0065] Wherein, by arranging grooves on the second cushion strip 22 and protrusions on the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24, without affecting the widths of the second cushion strip 22, the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24, the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 occupy part of the material of the second cushion strip 22. At the same time, the protective effect of the cushion strip is not affected either. In this embodiment, without affecting the use of the cushion strip assembly 2, the volume of the cushion strip assembly 2 is reduced, and the utilization rate of the cushion strip raw material is improved.

[0066] In this embodiment, the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1. The third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 are symmetrical. After installation, the stress on both sides of the cooking appliance panel 1 during use is balanced, greatly reducing the risk of damage caused by uneven stress, improving the stability and durability of the panel, and effectively extending the service life of the panel. In other embodiments, other protective structures may also be arranged on the third cushion strip 23 or the fourth cushion strip 24 according to the actual structure of the cooking appliance panel 1.

[0067] Furthermore, the cooking appliance panel 1 further includes two through holes 3 that are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1. The through holes 3 are used to place burners, and at least part of the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241 are located at the same width position of the cooking appliance panel 1 in the width direction as the through holes 3. By arranging the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241 close to the through holes 3, when the cooking appliance panel 1 bears an external force, the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 241 can fully participate in the force, reasonably disperse the stress that might originally be concentrated around the through holes 3, achieve an even distribution of stress, avoid local stress concentration at the through holes 3 resulting in panel damage, and make the stress state of the entire cooking appliance panel 1 more uniform, thus enhancing the anti-damage ability of the panel.

[0068] Specifically, the central axis of the through hole 3 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is parallel to the central axes of the first protruding portion 231 and the second protruding portion 241 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1. The above setting optimizes the relative positions of the through hole 3, the first protruding portion 231, and the second protruding portion 241, minimizing the stress at the through hole 3 when it is stressed, and effectively reducing the possibility of overall damage to the cooking appliance caused by the deformation of the through hole 3 due to stress.

[0069] In other embodiments, the relative positions of the protruding portion and the through hole 3 are not specifically limited. Part of the protruding portion may coincide with the through hole 3 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1, or they may not coincide at all, as long as the protection of the through hole 3 and the cooking appliance panel 1 is not affected.

[0070] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown, a plane where one end face of the first protruding portion 231 or the second protruding portion 241 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 forms an intersection point p with the hole wall of the through hole 3. The connecting line between the intersection point p and the center of the through hole 3 forms an angle A with the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1, and the value range of the angle A is 0° - 30°. The above angle range enables the most balanced stress distribution between the first protruding portion 231 or the second protruding portion 241 and the through hole 3 when the cooking appliance panel 1 is stressed, enhancing the stability of the cooking appliance panel 1.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first groove 221 and the second groove 222 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1. The symmetry of the first groove 221 and the second groove 222 enables the stress at the second edge 12 to be balanced during the use of the cooking appliance panel 1 after installation, greatly reducing the risk of damage caused by uneven stress, improving the stability and durability of the panel, and effectively extending the service life of the panel. In this embodiment, the positions of the first groove 221 and the second groove 222 can be adjusted according to the position of the through hole 3, as long as the protection of the cooking appliance panel 1 by the second cushion strip 22 is not affected.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the sum of the lengths of the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 in the width direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 is equal to the length of the second cushion strip 22 in the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1; the widths of the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 along the length direction of the cooking appliance panel 1 are equal. The sum of the lengths of the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 being equal to the length of the second cushion strip 22 can be directly cut from a complete cushion strip during the production process without further length adjustment, facilitating production. At the same time, the widths of the third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 are the same and can be directly cut symmetrically from a longer cushion strip. The third cushion strip 23 and the fourth cushion strip 24 are respectively located on both sides of the cooking appliance panel 1, and the same width enables the stress to be evenly dispersed when the cooking appliance panel 1 bears an external force, making it not easily damaged.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the gasket strip assembly 2 can be cut from a rectangular gasket. Through the dimension design of the gasket assembly and the corresponding design of the protruding part and the groove, the volume of the complete gasket is reduced, and then the gasket strip assembly 2 is produced by cutting. Without affecting the use of the gasket strip assembly 2, the material utilization rate is improved.

[0074] Furthermore, both ends of the third gasket strip 23 and the fourth gasket strip 24 are respectively abutted against the first gasket strip 21 and the second gasket strip 22. The mutual abutment of the gasket strips can not only play a sealing role, and during use, no liquid will penetrate through the gap between the gasket strips to the bottom of the cooker panel 1, resulting in inability to clean, which improves the overall anti-overflow effect; at the same time, the edges of the gasket strips abut against each other without generating stress notches, so that the cooker panel 1 will not be damaged due to uneven stress, which improves the overall structural stability.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the loading and unloading of the cooker panel 1, the edge of the first gasket strip 21 does not directly coincide with the edge of the cooker panel 1, and there is a certain space between the first gasket strip 21 and the edge, from which the cooker panel 1 can be lifted or lowered. In other embodiments, one end face of the third gasket strip 23 away from the fourth gasket strip 24 in the length direction of the cooker panel 1 and one end face of the cooker panel 1 away from the fourth gasket strip 24 in its length direction are located in the same plane; one end face of the fourth gasket strip 24 away from the third gasket strip 23 in the length direction of the cooker panel 1 and one end face of the cooker panel 1 away from the third gasket strip 23 in its length direction are located in the same plane. One side of the third gasket strip 23 and the fourth gasket strip 24 coincides with the edge of the cooker panel, so that the gasket strip will not protrude from the cooker panel 1, affecting the overall aesthetics of the cooker panel 1, and at the same time, there will be no difficult-to-clean space between the bottom of the cooker and the gasket strip, resulting in water accumulation, effectively improving the practicability of the cooker panel 1, and the relative position between the gasket strip assembly 2 and the cooker panel 1 can also be adjusted according to the actual use situation.

[0076] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only for illustration. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
