Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to an integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] As modern kitchens are mainly simple, various integrated stoves have emerged to integrate disinfection cabinets with other functional kitchen equipment such as steamers or ovens to meet different cooking needs and achieve simplicity and convenience. Regardless of whether it is a separate steamer, oven or integrated stove, a water storage box is required to meet the demand for water during steaming, baking or other cooking processes.

[0003] The water tank used in the steam oven on the market often uses a pop-up device to pop out the water box to facilitate adding water to the water box. For example, the Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN202021173174.5 (authorization announcement number: CN212853227U) discloses a water tank structure for an integrated stove with a pop-up device. However, the existing water tank device still has certain shortcomings. After the pop-up device is set, due to its limited pop-up stroke, the remaining removal action still needs to be completed by the user, especially when the water tank is set at a relatively low position, the user needs to bend over to operate. For those with poor body flexibility and older age, the operation experience is not very good.

[0004] Therefore, the existing integrated stoves still need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0036] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In the specification and claims of the present invention, terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", "side", "top", "bottom", etc., are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of the present invention, but these terms are used here only for the purpose of convenience of description and are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only used as explanations and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0038] Figure 1-Figure 11 A preferred embodiment of the integrated stove of the utility model is shown. The integrated stove includes a cabinet 11 as a main body, a range hood device arranged at the rear of the cabinet 11, and a steam oven 113 embedded in the front of the cabinet 11. A stove 12 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 11, and burners 120 are arranged on the stove 12 at intervals on the left and right. The range hood device includes a fan system and a smoke inlet device, and the fan system is arranged in the cabinet 11, generally located behind the steam oven 113. The smoke inlet device 13 has a vertically extending smoke inlet duct, which extends upward a distance above the top surface of the cabinet 11, and a smoke inlet port and a smoke baffle extending forward and blocking the smoke inlet port are formed on the top of the smoke inlet port.

[0039] The integrated stove of this embodiment also includes a water tank assembly 2, which includes a water tank bracket 21 and a water tank body placed on the water tank bracket 21. The top of the body of the water tank bracket 21 is open, and a baffle 211 extending vertically is connected to the front thereof. The height dimension of the baffle 211 is greater than the height dimension of the body of the water tank bracket 21. A mounting opening 1110 is also provided on the front side panel 111 of the cabinet 11 of this embodiment. The water tank assembly 2 is movably arranged on the cabinet 11 and enters and exits the above-mentioned mounting opening 1110. Specifically, the water tank bracket 21 can extend outward from the cabinet 11 through the mounting opening 1110, wherein, when the water tank bracket 21 is in a closed state, the baffle 211 blocks the mounting opening 1110 and is flush with the outer peripheral edge of the mounting opening 1110, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the cabinet 11.

[0040] The water tank assembly 2 (mainly the water tank bracket 21) is driven by the motion mechanism provided on the machine body 1 to move forward and backward relative to the cabinet body 11. The motion mechanism includes a drive motor 23, a transmission rod 230 and a connecting rod assembly 24. The cabinet body 11 is provided with hanging plates 112 arranged at intervals on the left and right. The upper edges of the two hanging plates 112 are connected and designed as an integral whole, so that they can be fixed to the cabinet body 11. The transmission rod 230 is extended and arranged in the left and right directions, penetrated on the two hanging plates 112, and can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the drive motor 23. The connecting rod assembly 24 has two groups arranged at intervals on the left and right, respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the water tank bracket 21. The two sets of connecting rod assemblies 24 are connected to the transmission rod, and move synchronously under the action of the transmission rod 230, thereby driving the water tank bracket 21 to switch between the closed state stored in the body 1 and the open state moved outside the body 1. When the water tank bracket 21 is in the closed state, the water tank bracket 21 is set horizontally as a whole, and when the water tank bracket 21 is in the open state, the water tank bracket 21 is tilted forward and upward as a whole. More specifically, driven by the motion mechanism, the water tank bracket 21 passes through the first position, the second position and the third position in sequence during the process from the closed state to the open state. During the process of the water tank bracket 21 moving from the first position to the second position, the water tank bracket 21 moves outward in the horizontal direction, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 ; During the movement of the water tank bracket 21 from the second position to the third position, the front portion of the water tank bracket 21 gradually deflects upward while moving outward, and in the fully open state, the entire water tank bracket 21 tilts upward from rear to front, that is, tilts forward and upward, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 .

[0041] Both groups of connecting rod assemblies 24 include a first connecting rod 241, a second connecting rod 242, a third connecting rod 243 and a fourth connecting rod 244. The first end of the first connecting rod 241 is rotatably connected to the suspension plate 112 through a pin extending to the left and right, and the axis of the pin is the first axis. The second connecting rod 242 is L-shaped as a whole, and its first end is connected to the above-mentioned transmission rod, and can be deflected forward or backward under the drive of the transmission rod, and the axis of the transmission rod is the second axis. The second end of the second connecting rod 242 is also rotatably connected to the second end of the third connecting rod 243 through a pin extending to the left and right, and the corner position of the L-shaped structure of the second connecting rod 242 is also rotatably connected to the second end of the fourth connecting rod 244 through a pin extending to the left and right. The back of the baffle plate 211 of the water tank support 21 is provided with a vertically extending connecting bracket 212. The first end of the third connecting rod 243 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting bracket 212 through a pin extending left and right. The axis of the pin is the third axis. The connecting rod is also slightly bent in its extending direction, and the two sections of the bend are obtuse angles. The first end of the fourth connecting rod 244 is rotatably connected to the lower end between the connecting rods through a pin extending left and right. The axis of the pin is the fourth axis. The fourth connecting rod 244 is also L-shaped as a whole, and the corner of its L-shaped structure is also relatively large, which is an obtuse angle. The corner position of the L-shaped structure of the fourth connecting rod 244 is also rotatably connected to the second end of the first connecting rod 241 through a pin extending left and right. The position where the hanging plate 112 is connected to the first end of the first connecting rod 241 is located in front of the position where the hanging plate 112 is connected to the first end of the second connecting rod 242. In order to ensure that the water tank bracket 21 is always in a horizontal state during the front movement, when the water tank bracket 21 is in a closed state, the third connecting rod 243 and the fourth connecting rod 244 are arranged crosswise, that is, the corresponding parts of the third connecting rod 243, the fourth connecting rod 244 and the second connecting rod 242 form an inverse parallelogram connecting rod mechanism.

[0042] In order to reasonably design the stroke of horizontal movement and deflection movement between the water tanks, the point where the first end of the second connecting rod 242 is connected to the body 1 is rotatably recorded as point A, the point where the second connecting rod 242 is connected to the second end of the fourth connecting rod 244 is rotatably recorded as point B, the point where the fourth connecting rod 244 is connected to the second end of the first connecting rod 241 is rotatably recorded as point C, the point where the first end of the first connecting rod 241 is connected to the body 1 is rotatably recorded as point D, the point where the second end of the third connecting rod 243 is connected to the second end of the second connecting rod 242 is rotatably recorded as point E, the point where the first end of the fourth connecting rod 244 is connected to the connecting bracket 212 is rotatably recorded as point F, and the point where the first end of the third connecting rod 243 is connected to the connecting bracket 212 is rotatably recorded as point G, wherein the distance between point A and point D is recorded as L. AD , the distance between point A and point B is denoted as L AB , the distance between point B and point C is recorded as L BC , the distance between point C and point D is recorded as L CDThe connecting rod assembly 24 constitutes a six-bar linkage ABCDEFG, wherein the six-bar linkage can be regarded as composed of two four-bar linkages, namely four-bar linkage ABCD and four-bar linkage BEFG, wherein the four-bar linkage ABCD provides horizontal movement for the water tank bracket 21, and the four-bar linkage BEFG provides angular deflection movement for the water tank. The four-bar linkage ABCD is a double crank mechanism, and the above distances meet the conditions: L AD <L AB , L AD <L BC , L AD <L CD , L AD +L CD ≤L AB +L BC .

[0043] The water tank body 22 of this embodiment is placed on the water tank bracket 21. The water tank bracket 21 can be pulled out and opened under the drive of the motion mechanism. After opening, the water tank bracket 21 is tilted forward and upward as a whole and faces the user, so that the user can easily take the water tank body 22 out of the water tank bracket 21, and put the water tank body 22 on the water tank bracket 21 after filling the water, without the need for the user to bend over, thereby improving the user's experience. The water tank assembly 2 realizes a relatively complex movement of a combination of translation and rotation through a six-bar linkage. Among them, since the movement of the six-bar linkage is completed by the rotation between each link, the relative sliding of the guide rail and the rotation are more stable and precise, which can provide a better movement effect and user experience.
