Abstract

This invention discloses a liftable and modular gas stove assembly based on a T-shaped track, relating to the field of kitchen stove technology. The gas stove assembly mainly includes a support housing, a T-shaped track, and multiple independently movable gas stoves. The T-shaped track consists of vertical and horizontal grooves forming a T-shaped sliding rail. The gas stoves engage with the track via rear-mounted wheels and utilize a traction rope and sliding lock system to achieve lifting along the vertical groove and horizontal movement along the horizontal groove, thus flexibly adjusting the number of stoves used on the countertop. Unused stoves can be stored inside the housing, saving space; when multiple stoves need to be used simultaneously, they can be magnetically attached to the countertop. This invention effectively solves the problems of traditional gas stoves occupying fixed space and being unable to flexibly adapt to different usage scenarios, combining convenient operation, high space utilization, and reliable safety, making it particularly suitable for modern compact kitchens.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchen stove technology, specifically relating to a liftable and modular gas stove unit based on a T-shaped rail groove. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing compactness of modern urban living spaces, especially kitchens, achieving a balance between cooking efficiency and space utilization within limited areas has become a crucial issue in kitchen appliance design. Traditional gas stoves are mostly fixed structures, making it difficult to adjust their position and number once installed, thus failing to flexibly adapt to different cooking needs such as daily family meals and large gatherings. Especially in small residences or apartments, the countertop space typically only accommodates one or two gas stoves, making it difficult to quickly expand the cooking area when needed, resulting in limited efficiency. Furthermore, while some portable stoves exist on the market, their simple structure lacks effective storage and integration mechanisms, still requiring significant countertop or storage space after use, failing to fundamentally achieve integrated space management that allows for "expanding when needed and folding away when not in use."

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a gas stove system that can flexibly adjust the number and layout of stoves according to actual usage needs and has efficient storage functions, so as to meet the dual needs of modern kitchens for space utilization and ease of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a lifting and assembly type gas stove unit based on T-shaped rail groove.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lifting and modular gas stove unit based on a T-shaped rail groove, characterized in that it includes:

[0007] Supporting the box body,

[0008] The T-shaped rail grooves provided on the supporting box, and

[0009] At least two gas stoves;

[0010] The T-shaped rail groove includes a vertical groove and a horizontal groove that are connected to each other. The vertical groove is located inside the rear upright plate of the supporting box, and the horizontal groove is located at the upper opening of the supporting box.

[0011] The gas stove is provided with a grooved wheel at the rear, which slides in conjunction with the T-shaped rail groove, so that the gas stove can move up and down along the vertical groove and move horizontally along the horizontal groove, and multiple gas stoves can be selectively placed in the support box for stacking and storage or placed on the horizontal groove for combined use.

[0012] Preferably, the transverse groove includes a slide rail, multiple locking positions, and a sliding lock; the sliding lock is slidably disposed within the slide rail and can selectively lock with the locking positions.

[0013] Preferably, the transverse groove further includes a traction rope, one end of which is connected to the sliding lock, and the other end is fixed after passing around the groove wheel, forming a movable pulley structure.

[0014] Preferably, the grooved wheel includes a fixed wheel and a rotating wheel, the rotating wheel has an inner arc groove on its surface, and the traction rope passes through the inner arc groove.

[0015] Preferably, a magnetic block is attached to the inner surface of the side panel of the gas stove, and adjacent gas stoves can be magnetically joined together by the magnetic block.

[0016] Preferably, the gas stove includes a gas pipe, and gas pipe holes are opened at corresponding positions on the bottom plate of the supporting box and the bottom of the vertical groove. A grooved wheel hole is opened inside the grooved wheel, and the gas pipe passes through the gas pipe hole and the grooved wheel hole in sequence to connect with the gas stove.

[0017] Preferably, the T-shaped rail groove has a groove edge at its opening, so that the T-shaped rail groove forms a narrowed sliding track.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0019] This invention utilizes a unique T-shaped rail groove and grooved wheel structure, along with a traction rope and sliding lock system, to achieve smooth vertical lifting and flexible horizontal positioning of the gas stove. This allows users to freely adjust the number of stoves on the countertop according to the actual number of diners and cooking needs—from a single stove for everyday meals to multiple stoves for large gatherings or commercial scenarios, greatly improving the flexibility of stove use and the adaptability of kitchen space.

[0020] Of particular note is the innovative under-counter storage feature of this invention. Unused gas stoves can be vertically stored within the support box along the track system, significantly saving valuable countertop space compared to traditional side-by-side installations of multiple stoves. This "use as needed, return to its place when not in use" model makes it especially suitable for today's mainstream small-apartment kitchens, effectively resolving the conflict between limited space and functional expansion.

[0021] In terms of user experience, multiple gas stoves can be quickly and securely joined together via magnetic attraction, making connection simple and ensuring a flat countertop. Combined with the locking mechanism and sliding lock at the bottom of the slide rails, the stoves can be reliably locked in any position, ensuring stability and safety during use. Meanwhile, the composite thin gas pipe design provides sufficient flexibility, ensuring safe and smooth gas connection during lifting, lowering, and movement of the stoves.

[0022] In summary, this invention successfully integrates flexibility, functionality, and space saving, providing a novel kitchen cooktop solution that is dynamically adjustable, compact, and highly efficient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the drawings are merely illustrative and do not exhaustively describe all technical solutions of the present invention. In different drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or similar components. The directional terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front," and "rear" used in the description are only for aiding understanding of the present invention based on the accompanying drawings and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection. The following embodiments represent only some implementations consistent with certain aspects of this application and are not exhaustive.

[0033] The core objective of this invention, a liftable and modular gas stove unit based on a T-shaped rail groove, is to flexibly adjust the number of gas stoves 3 used on the stovetop according to actual cooking needs. For example... Figure 1As shown, when there are few family members or for simple daily meals, only one gas stove 3 can be used to maximize countertop space saving; while when dining with many people or when efficient food preparation is required, multiple gas stoves 3 can be combined for use, significantly improving cooking efficiency. This flexible and adaptable usage mode makes it particularly suitable for today's mainstream small-area kitchens.

[0034] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, the gas stove assembly of the present invention mainly consists of a support box 1, a T-shaped rail 2, and multiple gas stoves 3. The support box 1 is preferably a rectangular box made of lightweight metal, with an open upper part and an internal cavity for accommodating the gas stoves 3. The inner and outer surfaces of the support box 1 are flat, offering advantages such as light weight, high strength, and ease of cleaning of grease.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the T-shaped track groove 2 is the key structure for realizing the movement and storage of the stove in this invention. The T-shaped track groove 2 is composed of a vertical groove 21 and a horizontal groove 22. The vertical groove 21 is located in the lower middle position of the horizontal groove 22, and the top of the vertical groove 21 intersects and connects with the bottom surface of the middle section of the horizontal groove 22, thereby forming a T-shaped three-way sliding groove. A groove edge 23 is also provided at the edge of the groove opening of the T-shaped track groove 2. The groove edge 23 makes the entire sliding groove form a narrowing structure, constituting a stable sliding track.

[0036] The vertical groove 21 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rear upright plate of the support box 1 by means of bolts or riveting, and is preferably located on the central vertical axis of the upright plate. The bottom end of the vertical groove 21 contacts the bottom plate of the support box 1, and a gas pipe hole 11 is hollowed out at the contact area. The height of the vertical groove 21 is flush with the top opening of the support box 1, and the bottom surface of the horizontal groove 22 contacts and connects with the top opening of the support box 1.

[0037] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transverse groove 22 integrates a slide rail 221, multiple locking positions 222, and a sliding lock 223. The slide rail 221 is a horizontal strip-shaped opening formed on the vertical surface of the transverse groove 22. At the bottom of the slide rail 221, multiple downwardly recessed locking positions 222 are spaced apart. There are two sliding locks 223, one on the left and one on the right. Each sliding lock contains an anchor rope hoop, has a rotating shaft in the middle, and is equipped with a knob on the outside. The sliding lock 223 can slide within the slide rail 221. When it slides above either of the locking positions 222, it can be locked in place by rotating the knob.

[0038] The gas stove 3 is generally rectangular in shape, with a flat cooktop surface, and its upper pot rack support structure can be concealed. Magnetic blocks are attached to the inner surfaces of both side panels of the gas stove 3. Figure 5 As shown, a grooved wheel 30 is welded to the center of the rear upright plate of the gas stove 3. Figure 6 As shown, the grooved wheel 30 consists of a fixed wheel 301, a rotating wheel 302, and a grooved wheel hole 303 passing through both. The fixed wheel 301 and the rotating wheel 302 have the same outer diameter, and the grooved wheel hole 303 is conical. The fixed wheel 301 is fixed relative to the gas stove 3, while the rotating wheel 302 is an independently rotatable wheel with an inner arc groove machined on its surface.

[0039] Multiple gas stoves 3 can be vertically stacked within the support box 1 by the cooperation of their rear grooved wheels 30 with the T-shaped rail groove 2. Specifically, the stacking operation involves sliding the grooved wheel 30 of each gas stove 3 into one end of the horizontal groove 22, and finally into the vertical groove 21 on the rear side of the support box 1, thereby achieving a compact stacking of multiple stoves.

[0040] Each gas stove 3 is connected to a gas pipe 31. The gas pipe 31 is preferably a composite thin pipe with good flexibility and pressure resistance, and is provided with sufficient expansion allowance. The gas pipe 31 is connected to an external gas source, passes through the gas pipe hole 11 on the bottom plate of the support box 1, then passes upward into the grooved wheel hole 303 of the grooved wheel 30, and finally connects to the gas inlet of the gas stove 3.

[0041] To achieve convenient lifting and moving of the gas stove 3, such as Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, two traction ropes 224 made of thin steel wire or similar materials are also installed inside the transverse groove 22. One end of each traction rope 224 is fixedly connected to the anchor rope hoop inside the slide lock 223, and the other end is fixedly installed in the slide groove in the middle of the transverse groove 22. The traction rope 224 passes around the inner arc groove on the surface of the rotating wheel 302, thus forming a movable pulley structure. By operating the slide lock 223 and pulling the traction rope 224, the gas stove 3 can be driven to move up and down along the vertical groove 21 and move horizontally left and right along the transverse groove 22 with minimal effort.

[0042] In summary, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 By embedding the gas stove assembly of this invention into the kitchen cabinet countertop, two core usage modes can be achieved. In the stacked state, only one or a few of the gas stoves 3 remain on the countertop, while the rest are stored underneath, greatly saving space. In the assembled state, multiple gas stoves 3 can be moved to a predetermined position on the countertop and attract each other through the magnetic blocks on the sides to form a stable assembled countertop, meeting the needs of high-efficiency cooking.

[0043] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments, but these embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions, improvements, and modifications made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
