Detailed implementation manners

[0031] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial technical effects to be solved by the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and multiple exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] Figure 1 A top view schematically shows an example of the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance. The cooking appliance 1 is, for example, a gas stove, but may also be other forms of cooking appliances 1. The existing bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance has a mounting opening 10 for mounting the battery box 2, which is usually formed by the opening 4 of the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance. Sometimes, the size of the battery box 2 varies with different manufacturers or rated voltages, so that the existing mounting opening 10 cannot meet the installation of battery boxes 2 of different sizes. For this reason, the present application proposes a battery box mounting structure for a cooking appliance that improves the versatility of the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance.

[0033] Figures 2 to 6 Schematic diagrams illustrate different examples of the battery box mounting structure for a cooking appliance according to the present application.

[0034] The above-mentioned mounting structure further includes a mounting unit 3, which is connected to an opening 4 in the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance (the opening 4 is Figure 3 enclosed by the dashed line part in the figure), and the mounting unit 3 and / or the opening 4 are adapted to form a mounting opening 10 for mounting the battery box 2, that is, the mounting opening 10 can be formed separately by the mounting unit 3 or the opening 4 alone, or jointly formed by the mounting unit 3 and the opening 4.

[0035] The mounting unit 3 includes at least one adjusting element 30 adjacent to the opening 4, and the size of the mounting opening 10 can be determined by selecting the number of the adjusting elements 30. The part where the adjusting element 30 is adjacent to the opening 4 is configured as a preset separation part 5.

[0036] Thus, on the one hand, the battery box 2 can be mounted in the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance through the mounting opening 10; on the other hand, the versatility of the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance can be improved by selecting the number of the adjusting elements 30.

[0037] More specifically, the preset separation part 5 is adapted to be separated in a tool-free manner. Exemplarily, the preset separation part 5 can be a preset break-off part.

[0038] In another example, the preset separation part 5 is configured as a material reduction part. The material reduction part is particularly narrower, thinner and / or provided with at least one (through or non-through) void compared with the surrounding area, so that the material reduction part is easier to separate from the surrounding area, thereby forming the preset separation part 5. In addition, the user can know from the appearance that the redundant adjusting element 30 can be removed from the material reduction part, that is, select the appropriate number of adjusting elements 30.

[0039] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the adjusting element 30 is provided with a hollow part 31 and the outer periphery of the adjusting element 30 is adjacent to the opening 4 in a preset separated manner, and the preset separation part 5 (dashed line part) is adapted to be separated in a tool-free manner or configured as a material reduction part so as to separate the adjusting element 30 from the opening 4.

[0040] Furthermore, the hollow part 31 is adapted to form the mounting opening 10. When the size of the battery box 2 is small, maintaining the connection relationship between the adjusting element 30 and the opening 4 of the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance (that is, the number of the adjusting elements 30 is 1), the battery box 2 can be mounted in the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance by being embedded in the hollow part 31; when the size of the battery box 2 is large, the adjusting element 30 is separated from the opening 4 through the preset separation part 5 (that is, the number of the adjusting elements 30 is 0), and at this time the mounting opening 10 is surrounded by the side edges of the opening 4, and the battery box 2 is mounted in the bottom shell 1 of the cooking appliance by being embedded in the opening 4.

[0041] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, the adjusting element 30 includes a fixed edge 31 adjacent to the opening 4 in a preset separation manner, and a free edge 32 opposite to the fixed edge 31; the free edge 32 and the opening 4 are adapted to form an installation opening 10. When the size of the battery box 2 is small, the connection relationship between the adjusting element 30 and the opening 4 of the cooker bottom shell 1 is maintained (i.e., the number of adjusting elements 30 is 1). At this time, the installation opening 10 is jointly surrounded by the free edge 32 and three side edges of the opening 4. When the size of the battery box 2 is large, the adjusting element 30 can be separated from the opening 4 through a preset separation part 5 (i.e., the number of adjusting elements 30 is 0) to expand the installation opening 10.

[0042] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, the number of adjusting elements 30 is multiple and they are respectively adjacent to different side edges of the opening 4; the sizes of the multiple adjusting elements 30 adjacent to different side edges of the opening 4 are different. The user can freely select the adjusting elements 30 of the corresponding size to be separated according to the size of the battery box 2, and can adapt to more sizes of battery boxes 2.

[0043] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 6 shown, the number of adjusting elements 30 is multiple and they are connected in series with each other; the connecting parts between the multiple adjusting elements 30 are configured as a preset separation part 5. The user can freely select the number of adjusting elements 30 to be separated according to the size of the battery box 2, and can adapt to more sizes of battery boxes 2.

[0044] Figure 7 and Figure 8 shows an example of the assembly structure of the battery box 2 and the cooker bottom shell 1 in a schematic diagram.

[0045] The battery box 2 includes a receiving cavity 20 and a lower cover 21 for encapsulating the receiving cavity 20; wherein, the outer wall surface 22 of the receiving cavity 20 is clamped with the installation opening 3. Specifically, the receiving cavity 20 is used to receive batteries, and the lower cover 21 facilitates the user to open the battery box 2 from below the cooker bottom shell 1 to replace the batteries. The battery box 2 is installed on the cooker bottom shell 1 by clamping the outer wall surface 22 thereof with the installation opening 3.

[0046] Furthermore, an elastic cantilever 220 is provided on the outer wall surface 22; the elastic cantilever 220 is configured to undergo elastic deformation under the pressing of the installation opening 3 during the installation process and undergo elastic recovery after entering the cooker bottom shell 1 to support the battery box 2. Optionally, the battery box 2 is embedded and installed from bottom to top (Z direction). During the installation process, the side wall of the installation opening 3 presses against the elastic cantilever 220, enabling the main body of the battery box 2 to enter the cooker bottom shell 1 and no longer being pressed after reaching the installation position. The elastic cantilever 220 returns to its initial state, causing the free end of the elastic cantilever 220 to abut against the inner surface of the cooker bottom shell 1, thereby supporting the entire battery box 2.

[0047] The present application also proposes a cooker embodiment, which includes the above-mentioned battery box installation structure for the cooker.

[0048] Components of different embodiments can be combined with each other in any feasible manner to achieve the purpose of the present application.

[0049] It should be additionally noted that the present application should not be construed as being limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be construed as covering all possible implementation cases determined by combining the claims of the present application with the disclosure of the specification. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the technical solution of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
