[0027] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The present invention provides a countertop assembly and a stove. Several embodiments are given below to describe the countertop assembly and the stove provided by the present invention in detail.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The table assembly provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a table top 1, a vibration detection mechanism 2 and a liquid detection mechanism 3; the vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to the table top 1, and the vibration detection mechanism 2 is used to detect the vibration information of the cookware; the table top 1 includes an overflow detection area, and the overflow detection area can be set outside the cookware; the liquid detection mechanism 3 is set in the overflow detection area, and the liquid detection mechanism 3 is used to detect whether there is liquid in the overflow detection area.

[0031] When the pot is about to overflow, the entire pot will vibrate strongly due to the rolling of the liquid or food and the generated steam. This strong vibration will be transmitted to the bottom of the pot, and the bottom of the pot will contact the pot rack on the table 1, thereby transmitting the strong vibration to the table 1.

[0032] Vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to tabletop 1. It detects the vibration of tabletop 1 to obtain vibration information about the cookware. If the vibration of the cookware exceeds a preset value, it can be determined to be at risk of spillage. If liquid spills from the cookware and flows into the spillage detection area, liquid detection mechanism 3 can detect the presence of liquid within the spillage detection area.

[0033] The countertop assembly provided in this embodiment determines that the cookware is overflowing when it simultaneously detects that the vibration information of the cookware is greater than a preset value and that liquid is present in the overflow detection area. The cookware overflow is judged based on two factors: the degree of vibration of the cookware and the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area. Because the degree of vibration of the cookware and the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area are less affected by other conditions, their accuracy is relatively high. Moreover, the cookware overflow can only be determined when both factors are met. This makes the judgment of cookware overflow more accurate, thereby improving cooking safety.

[0034] The outer side of the cookware refers to the side of the cookware facing the outside of the cookware along the radial direction of the cookware.

[0035] The liquid detection mechanism 3 may be a contact-type liquid detection device or a non-contact-type liquid detection device.

[0036] For example, the liquid detection mechanism 3 is a contact liquid detection device, the overflow detection area can be set as a disc-shaped structure, and the liquid detection mechanism 3 is set in the disc-shaped structure to detect whether there is liquid in the overflow detection area.

[0037] Furthermore, the liquid detection mechanism 3 includes a non-contact liquid detection device, which is connected to the bottom surface of the overflow detection area.

[0038] The overflow detection area can be set as a flat surface or an inclined surface. When the overflow detection area is an inclined surface, the inner edge of the overflow detection area is higher than the outer edge of the overflow detection area. After the liquid flows into the inclined surface, it will quickly gather at the lowest point of the inclined surface, which is convenient for collecting the liquid overflowed from the pot, so that the liquid detection mechanism 3 can detect the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area in a timely manner.

[0039] When liquid falls into the overflow detection area, the non-contact liquid detection device can detect the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area. The non-contact liquid detection device does not need to come into contact with the liquid to detect whether there is liquid in the overflow detection area, which can improve the service life of the non-contact liquid detection device.

[0040] The non-contact liquid detection device is connected to the bottom surface of the overflow detection area, so that the non-contact liquid detection device is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the overflow detection area, and then the non-contact liquid detection device is installed under the table 1. The table 1 can protect the non-contact liquid detection device and prevent damage to the non-contact liquid detection device.

[0041] The non-contact liquid detection device may be connected to the bottom surface of the overflow detection area in any suitable manner, such as a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0042] The overflow detection area can be set outside the pot. Specifically, the overflow detection area can be set outside the projection of the pot on the table 1, so that liquid overflowing from the pot can flow into the overflow detection area.

[0043] In order to make the overflow detection area suitable for pots of different sizes, the width of the overflow detection area along the radial direction of the pot rack can be set to a relatively wide value. The projection of smaller pots on the table 1 can overlap with the inner edge of the overflow detection area, and the projection of medium and larger pots on the table 1 can overlap with the position between the inner and outer edges of the overflow detection area.

[0044] The overflow detection area can be configured as a strip structure, or as any other suitable shape such as an arc structure. For example, the overflow detection area can be formed by multiple arc structures spaced apart to form a ring, so that the multiple arc structures are arranged outside the projection of the cookware on the table 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the overflow detection area is annular.

[0046] The overflow detection area can be arranged outside the projection of the pot on the table 1, so that the probability of liquid overflowing from the pot flowing into the overflow detection area is increased, thereby improving the accuracy of overflow detection.

[0047] The number of the vibration sensor 21 may be one or more.

[0048] Furthermore, the vibration detection mechanism 2 includes a plurality of vibration sensors 21 , and the plurality of vibration sensors 21 are arranged at intervals in a ring shape.

[0049] The multiple vibration sensors 21 are arranged at intervals and arranged in a ring shape, so that the multiple vibration sensors 21 detect the vibration values of the table 1 at different positions, and the detection accuracy is high.

[0050] Furthermore, the vibration detection mechanism 2 is arranged inside the overflow detection area.

[0051] The vibration detection mechanism 2 is arranged inside the overflow detection area, so that the vibration detection mechanism 2 is arranged closer to the pot rack, so that the vibration value detected by the vibration detection mechanism 2 is closer to the vibration value of the pot, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0052] It should be noted that the inner side of the overflow detection area refers to the side of the overflow detection area facing the heating mechanism 4 along the radial direction of the cookware.

[0053] The vibration detection mechanism 2 may be connected to the top surface of the table 1 or to the bottom surface 11 of the table.

[0054] Furthermore, the vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom surface 11 of the table.

[0055] The vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom surface 11 of the table, and the connection method can be a detachable connection or a fixed connection.

[0056] The vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom surface 11 of the table, so that the vibration detection mechanism 2 is fixedly installed below the table 1. The table 1 can protect the vibration detection mechanism 2 and prevent the vibration detection mechanism 2 from being damaged.

[0057] Furthermore, the table assembly also includes a control mechanism; the vibration detection mechanism 2 and the liquid detection mechanism 3 are respectively connected to the control mechanism; when the vibration information of the pot is greater than a preset value and there is liquid in the overflow detection area, the control mechanism can output an overflow signal.

[0058] The control mechanism is respectively connected to the vibration detection mechanism 2 and the liquid detection mechanism 3. The vibration information detected by the vibration detection mechanism 2 is sent to the control mechanism, and the information of whether there is liquid in the overflow detection area detected by the liquid detection mechanism 3 is sent to the control mechanism. When the vibration information of the cookware is greater than the preset value and there is liquid in the overflow detection area, the control mechanism can output an overflow signal to prompt the user or adjust the heating power of the stove, thereby preventing safety accidents caused by overflow.

[0059] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes an alarm module, which can output an alarm signal when the vibration information of the cookware is greater than a preset value.

[0060] When the pot is about to overflow, the entire pot will vibrate strongly due to the rolling of the liquid or food and the generated steam. This strong vibration will be transmitted to the bottom of the pot, and the bottom of the pot will contact the pot rack on the table 1, thereby transmitting the strong vibration to the table 1.

[0061] The vibration detection mechanism 2 is connected to the table top 1. The vibration detection mechanism 2 obtains the vibration information of the cookware by detecting the vibration value of the table top 1. When the vibration information of the cookware is greater than a preset value, it can be determined that there is a risk of overflow. The alarm module can output an alarm signal to help the user take timely measures to avoid chaos and safety problems in the cooking area caused by overflow.

[0062] When in use, the vibration detection mechanism 2 can be turned on first, and when the vibration information of the cookware is greater than a preset value, the liquid detection mechanism 3 can be turned on; the vibration detection mechanism 2 and the liquid detection mechanism 3 can also be turned on all the time.

[0063] Furthermore, the table assembly also includes a heating mechanism 4, which is arranged inside the overflow detection area; the heating mechanism 4 is connected to a control mechanism, and the control mechanism can adjust the heating power of the heating mechanism 4.

[0064] The heating mechanism 4 may be an electromagnetic heating mechanism 4 or a gas heating mechanism 4 .

[0065] The heating mechanism 4 is connected to the table 1, and the overflow detection area is sleeved on the outside of the heating mechanism 4. The heating mechanism 4 and the overflow detection area are coaxially arranged.

[0066] The control mechanism can adjust the heating power of the heating mechanism 4 to adjust the heating power.

[0067] When the control mechanism outputs the overflow signal, the control mechanism can adjust the heating mechanism 4 to be closed, or reduce the heating power of the heating mechanism 4, so as to promptly deal with the overflow phenomenon and prevent the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] The cooker provided in this embodiment and the countertop assembly provided in Example 1 are configured to determine whether the cooker is overflowing when both the vibration information of the cooker is detected to be greater than a preset value and liquid is present in the overflow detection area. The cooker overflow is determined based on two factors: the degree of cooker vibration and the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area. Because the degree of cooker vibration and the presence of liquid in the overflow detection area are less susceptible to interference from other conditions, their accuracy is relatively high. Furthermore, only when both factors are met can a cooker overflow be determined. This results in a high degree of accuracy in determining cooker overflow, thereby improving cooking safety.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
