[0042] The following examples illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited by these examples. Modifications to the specific implementation methods of the present invention or equivalent replacement of some technical features without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the technical solution claimed for protection in the present invention.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 The utility model provides a knob control valve, comprising a valve stem 5, a valve cap 7, a lamp holder 1, a light strip 2 and a shading plate 3. The valve cap 7 is mounted on the upper part of the valve stem 5, and the user can turn the valve stem 5 through the valve cap 7 to open the gas valve. The lamp holder 1 comprises a lamp holder body 11 and a light slot 10 arranged on the upper side of the lamp holder body 11. The light strip 2 is installed in the light slot 10. The shading plate 3 comprises a shading plate body 31 and a mounting portion 32 connected to each other, the shading plate body 31 is located above the light strip 2, and the mounting portion 32 is mounted on the lower part of the valve stem 5 and can rotate with the valve stem 5, so that the shading plate body 31 can rotate between the position of completely blocking the light strip 2 and the position of completely opening the light strip 2. Specifically, when the valve stem 5 rotates, the size of the valve changes accordingly, and the area of ​​the light strip 2 blocked by the shading plate body 31 also changes accordingly, and then the length of the light leaked from the light strip 2 also changes accordingly, and the user can judge the size of the firepower by the length of the light visually seen, the structure is simple, and the user experience is good.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, when the valve is opened to the maximum, the visor body 31 completely opens the light strip 2, so that all the light emitted by the light strip 2 is emitted and can be seen by the user; Figure 5 As shown, when the valve is opened but not fully opened, the visor body 31 partially blocks the light strip 2, so that the light strip 2 can open a corresponding part according to the rotation angle of the valve stem 5, and transmit a corresponding length of light to be seen by the user; Figure 6 As shown, when the valve is closed, the shading plate body 31 completely blocks the light strip 2, and the user cannot see any light.

[0045] Furthermore, when the valve is closed, the circuit of the light strip 2 is also closed at the same time, and the light strip 2 will not emit light, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0046] Optionally, the light strip 2 and the sunshade body 31 are both in the shape of fan rings, so that when the valve stem 5 rotates, the sunshade body 31 can shield the light strip 2.

[0047] Since the valve stem 5 can rotate 180°, in this embodiment, optionally, the central angles of the light strip 2 and the sunshade body 31 are both 180° to match the rotation angle of the valve stem 5 .

[0048] Optionally, a connecting structure 6 is further included, and the lamp holder 1 is installed on the panel 8 of the gas stove through the connecting structure 6 .

[0049] Optionally, the connection structure 6 includes a first connection member 61 and a second connection member 62. The first connection member 61 is disposed on the lower side of the panel 8, and includes a cover plate 611, a light exit hole 60 opened on the cover plate 611, and a connection portion 612 disposed on the cover plate 611. The cover plate 611 is mounted on the lamp holder body 11 and is used to cover the lamp slot 10. The light strip 2 is disposed below the light exit hole 60 so that the light of the light strip 2 can be emitted through the light exit hole 60. The second connection member 62 is disposed on the upper side of the panel 8 and is detachably connected to the connection portion 612.

[0050] Furthermore, the first connecting member 61 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 612 .

[0051] Optionally, the shape of the light exit holes 60 is a fan ring with a central angle of 180° to match the shape of the light strip 2 .

[0052] Optionally, a shading ring is also included. The shading plate body 31 is located in the lamp groove 10, and the shading ring is arranged between the shading plate body 31 and the lamp holder body 11 to block the gap between the shading plate body 31 and the lamp holder body 11, thereby preventing the light emitted by the light strip 2 from leaking from the gap.

[0053] Optionally, an electrical terminal 4 is further included. A wiring hole 100 is provided at the bottom of the lamp trough 10 . The electrical terminal 4 is installed at the lower side of the lamp holder body 11 and is electrically connected to the light strip 2 through the wiring hole 100 .

[0054] Optionally, the light strip 2 includes a light bar and a first lamp bead assembly and a second lamp bead assembly arranged on the light bar, the first lamp bead assembly is arranged at one end of the light bar, and the second lamp bead is arranged at the other end of the light bar, and the first lamp bead and the second lamp bead emit light of different colors, so that the user can roughly identify the fire power by the light color at the same time.

[0055] Specifically, the first lamp bead assembly and the second lamp bead assembly each occupy half of the light strip. When the valve stem 5 rotates from 0° to 90°, the first lamp bead assembly is turned on, and the user sees the color emitted by the first lamp bead assembly (for example, blue). When the valve stem 5 rotates from 90° to 180°, the second lamp bead assembly is also turned on, and the user can see the color emitted by the first lamp bead (for example, blue) and the color emitted by the second lamp bead (for example, red) at the same time.

[0056] On the other hand, the utility model provides a gas stove, including a panel 8, a burner 9 installed on the panel 8 and the above-mentioned knob control valve, the upper side or the lower side of the panel 8 is provided with a shading layer, and the shading layer is provided with a light emitting area at a position above the light strip 2, so that the light can only be emitted from the light emitting area for the user to see.

[0057] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
