[0036] In order to make the technical problems solved by the utility model, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Among them, the terms "first position" and "second position" are two different positions.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a fire power adjustment visualization device, which can realize the observation of flames without bending over, making the fire power adjustment more convenient and improving the user experience. The fire power adjustment visualization device includes a lifting mechanism and a reflection mechanism 2.

[0040] Among them, a hidden space is reserved between the range hood 10 and the installation wall 20, and the reflection mechanism 2 is arranged at the lower end of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the reflection mechanism 2 to lift and switch between the first position and the second position. In the first position, the lifting mechanism and the reflection mechanism 2 are both hidden in the hidden space. In the second position, the lifting mechanism moves the reflection mechanism 2 to a preset height above the stove to reflect the flame of the burner 100 of the gas stove.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hidden space is located between the back of the range hood 10 and the installation wall 20. The installation wall 20 may be a wall in the kitchen. When the range hood 10 is installed, the above-mentioned hidden space is reserved at the back of the range hood 10.

[0042] The firepower adjustment visualization device provided in this embodiment is that when the gas cooker is not in use, the lifting mechanism and the reflecting mechanism 2 are both hidden in the hidden space. When the burner 100 is ignited by the knob of the gas cooker, the lifting mechanism can be controlled to extend the reflecting mechanism 2 downward out of the hidden space, so that the reflecting mechanism 2 moves to the second position with the lifting mechanism, so that the reflecting mechanism 2 can face the burner 100 of the gas cooker, thereby reflecting the flame of the burner 100. The user stands to view the flame reflected by the reflecting mechanism 2, and can intuitively know the current flame size, which is convenient for the user to adjust the firepower size by hand by turning the knob to get the desired firepower, so as to accurately grasp the fire, and the operation does not need to bend over during the whole process, which is more labor-saving, and improves the cooking efficiency and the user experience of the gas cooker. In addition, after cooking is completed, the lifting mechanism and the reflecting mechanism 2 can be hidden and stored in the hidden space, which will not affect the consistency of the countertop of the gas cooker, making the kitchen more neat and beautiful.

[0043] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting mechanism includes a driving member (not shown) and a lifting rod 11. The output end of the driving member is in transmission connection with the lifting rod 11, and is used to drive the lifting rod 11 to drive the reflecting mechanism 2 to lift. That is, the lifting and switching of the reflecting mechanism 2 between the first position and the second position is realized by the driving member, which is easy to control. Exemplarily, the driving member can be electrically connected to the electric control module of the gas cooker. When the burner 100 is ignited, the electric control module controls the driving member to start, so that the lifting rod 11 descends to the second position, and the reflecting mechanism 2 reflects the flame of the burner 100.

[0044] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The lifting rod 11 includes a screw rod 111 and a threaded sleeve 112 in threaded cooperation. The screw rod 111 is connected to the output end of the driving member. The threaded sleeve 112 is movable along its axial direction and is circumferentially limited. The reflection mechanism 2 is connected to the threaded sleeve 112. Since the threaded sleeve 112 is circumferentially limited, when the driving member drives the screw rod 111 to rotate, the threaded sleeve 112 can only move linearly in the vertical direction, thereby driving the reflection mechanism 2 to rise and fall between the first position and the second position. The cooperation between the screw rod 111 and the threaded sleeve 112 is stable in lifting and lowering, and it is easier to control the lifting height. Exemplarily, the driving member is a rotary motor.

[0045] Furthermore, the installation wall 20 is provided with a guide rail (not shown) in the hidden space, and the threaded sleeve 112 is slidably connected to the guide rail. The slidably connected threaded sleeve 112 to the guide rail can limit the rotation of the threaded sleeve 112, so that the threaded sleeve 112 can only move in the vertical direction. At the same time, the guide rail can guide the moving direction of the threaded sleeve 112, thereby improving the lifting stability.

[0046] In other embodiments, the lifting mechanism may also adopt a linear drive mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0047] Optionally, see Figure 2 When the reflection mechanism 2 is in the second position, the highest point of the reflection mechanism 2 is lower than the height of the pot 300 on the pot rack 200 of the gas cooker. In this way, the reflection mechanism 2 can face the burner 100, thereby reflecting the whole view of the burner 100, so that the user can more comprehensively view the current flame size of the burner 100, and the user can adjust the fire power more accurately.

[0048] The height of the second position can be adaptively adjusted according to factors such as the height of the user, so that users of different heights can use the firepower adjustment visualization device, thereby improving practicality.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reflection mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism so that the reflection angle of the reflection mechanism 2 is adjustable. When the reflection mechanism 2 is lowered to the preset position, the reflection angle of the reflection mechanism 2 can be adjusted by rotating the reflection mechanism 2, so that users of different heights can view the flame condition of the burner 100 through the reflection mechanism 2 when standing in front of the stove, thereby meeting the use needs of users of different heights.

[0050] Optionally, see Figure 3 The reflection mechanism 2 is rotatably installed on the lifting mechanism through a rotating structure 3. Specifically, the rotating structure 3 includes a rotating seat 31 and a rotating shaft 32 that are rotatably matched. The rotating seat 31 is fixedly installed on the threaded sleeve 112 of the lifting rod 11, and the rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the reflection mechanism 2 so that the reflection mechanism 2 can rotate relative to the rotating seat 31 along with the rotating shaft 32.

[0051] Exemplarily, the rotating seat 31 has a spherical groove, and the end of the rotating shaft 32 is provided with a spherical structure, which is restricted by the spherical groove and rotates with the spherical groove to achieve the rotation angle adjustment of the reflection mechanism 2. The cooperation between the spherical structure and the spherical groove allows the rotating shaft 32 to rotate 360 ​​degrees in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 32, thereby making the angle adjustment range of the reflection mechanism 2 wider and more flexible during adjustment.

[0052] Further, see Figure 3 The reflection mechanism 2 includes a reflection mirror 21 and a fixing bracket 22 . The reflection mirror 21 is mounted and fixed on the fixing bracket 22 . The side of the fixing bracket 22 facing away from the reflection mirror 21 is fixedly connected to the above-mentioned rotation shaft 32 .

[0053] See also Figure 2 , the angle between the reflector 21 and the horizontal plane is defined as α. In this embodiment, the value range of α is: 50°≤α≤90°. The user can adjust the reflection angle of the reflector 21 according to his / her height during use, which is flexible to use.

[0054] Optionally, two reflection mechanisms 2 are provided, and the two reflection mechanisms 2 are provided one-to-one with the two burners 100 of the gas cooker. The flame sizes of the two burners 100 can be checked respectively through the two reflection mechanisms 2, meeting the firepower adjustment requirements when the two burners 100 are used simultaneously.

[0055] It can be understood that when the gas stove has three or more burners 100 , three or more reflection mechanisms 2 can be provided accordingly, and each reflection mechanism 2 reflects the flame of one burner 100 .

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a cross bar 113 is provided at the end of the lifting mechanism, and two reflection mechanisms 2 are respectively provided at both ends of the cross bar 113. That is, a cross bar 113 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded sleeve 112, and a reflection mechanism 2 is rotatably installed at each end of the cross bar 113 to reflect the flames of the two burners 100 respectively.

[0057] In another alternative embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, two lifting mechanisms are provided, and two reflecting mechanisms 2 are provided on the two lifting mechanisms in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two lifting mechanisms are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two burners 100 of the gas cooker. That is, the two reflecting mechanisms 2 can be raised and lowered separately by the corresponding lifting mechanisms. With such a configuration, when cooking with a single stove head, only one of the lifting mechanisms can be controlled to lower the reflecting mechanism 2 to the second position, which is more convenient to use.

[0058] In a new embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, there is one reflection mechanism 2, and one reflection mechanism 2 is located between two burners 100 of the gas cooker. That is, the same reflection mechanism 2 can reflect the flames of the two burners 100 at the same time, and can also meet the firepower adjustment requirements when the two burners 100 are used at the same time.

[0059] Exemplarily, the reflection mechanism 2 is located in the middle position above the gas cooker, and the reflector 21 is in an oblong shape, ensuring that the reflector 21 can illuminate the two burners 100 at the same time.

[0060] It is understandable that if the gas stove has three burners 100, two reflective mechanisms 2 can be provided accordingly, so that there is a reflective mechanism 2 between every two adjacent burners 100; if the gas stove has four burners 100, two reflective mechanisms 2 can also be provided, and the four burners 100 are divided into two groups, each group has two burners 100, and each group is matched with a reflective mechanism 2, and the reflective mechanism 2 reflects the flames of the two burners 100 in the corresponding group. And so on, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0061] The working process of the firepower adjustment visualization device is as follows:

[0062] When the burner 100 of the gas stove is ignited, the electronic control module controls the driving member to start, so as to drive the lifting rod 11 to drive the reflecting mechanism 2 to descend to a preset height (second position) above the stove, and the user adjusts the angle of the reflecting mirror 21 according to the actual situation so that the mirror image formed in the reflecting mirror 21 achieves the best visual effect. In this way, during the cooking process, the flame state can be viewed in real time when adjusting the fire power, and the fire size can be accurately controlled without bending over.

[0063] After cooking is finished, when the gas cooker is turned off by turning the knob, the electronic control module controls the driving member to start again, so that the lifting rod 11 drives the reflecting mechanism 2 to rise and hide in the hidden space, and is integrated with the range hood 10, which is neat and beautiful.

[0064] This embodiment also provides a gas stove, including a burner 100 and a firepower adjustment visualization device as described above. When the gas stove adopts the firepower adjustment visualization device, the lifting mechanism can be controlled to lower the reflection mechanism 2 to the second position to reflect the flame of the burner 100. At this time, the user stands to view the flame reflected by the reflection mechanism 2, and can intuitively know the current flame size, which is convenient for the user to adjust the firepower by hand to accurately grasp the fire. There is no need to bend down during the operation, which is more labor-saving and effectively improves the user experience of the gas stove. In addition, after cooking is completed, the lifting mechanism and the reflection mechanism 2 can be hidden and stored in the hidden space, which will not affect the consistency of the countertop of the gas stove, making the kitchen more neat and beautiful.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a kitchen appliance, including a range hood 10 and the gas cooker as described above, wherein the hidden space is located between the back of the range hood 10 and the mounting wall 20. In this way, the fire power adjustment visualization device can be integrated with the range hood 10 to ensure the neatness and beauty of the kitchen.

[0066] In other embodiments, the kitchen appliance may also be an integrated stove, and the fire power adjustment visualization device may be disposed on the head of the integrated stove to realize visualization of the flame of the burner 100.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
