In the application, the top surface is one end of the first gear tooth 111 close to the valve rod 5, the bottom surface is one end of the first gear tooth 111 away from the valve rod 5, the thickness is the minimum distance between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first gear tooth 111, the first inclined surface 1111 on the top surface of the first gear tooth 111 is inclined downward from inside to outside, and the first inclined surface 1111 on the bottom surface of the first gear tooth 111 is inclined upward from inside to outside, so that the thickness of the first gear tooth 111 gradually decreases from inside to outside, that is, the edge of the first gear tooth 111 is thinned, and then the friction between the gear ball and the gear 1 is reduced.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the bottom surface of each second gear tooth 121 is provided with a second inclined surface 1211 from inside to outside, so that the thickness of the second gear tooth 121 gradually decreases from inside to outside. This design can reduce the friction area between the gear 1 and the valve core 3, that is, the force friction caused by the rotation of the gear ball and the gear 1 to the valve core 3 can be minimized, and the effect of reducing the torque can be achieved.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, as Figures 1-3As shown, the number of first teeth 111 is less than the number of second teeth 121, and the outer peripheral surface of the second gear disc 12 does not exceed the curved surface where the groove bottom of the adjacent first tooth 111 is located, so that the oil storage structure 13 is arranged between the plurality of first teeth 111 and the plurality of second teeth 121. In this way, the increased lubricating oil of the valve core 3 is stored in the oil storage structure 13, so that the lubricating oil is prevented from overflowing smoothly, the problem of too much lubricating oil running out is avoided, and the problem of increased torque of the cock valve is avoided.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-3 As shown, the adjacent two second teeth 121 are arranged to form an open groove, and the oil storage structure 13 comprises a plurality of oil storage grooves, and the oil storage grooves are formed by the open groove and the corresponding first tooth 111. The oil storage groove can make full use of the space between the gear 1 and the valve core 3 and the valve body 4, prevent the lubricating oil from overflowing smoothly, and achieve the effect of reducing the torque.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The gear structure shown in the figure further comprises a mounting column 2, a reset spring and a gear bead, the mounting column 2 is connected to the valve body 4, and a mounting hole 21 is formed in the axial direction of the mounting column 2; one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 21, and the other end of the reset spring extends in the direction of the gear 1; the gear bead is fixedly connected to the other end of the reset spring, wherein the gear 1 is provided with a plurality of gear grooves 112, and the gear bead can be inserted into or separated from each gear groove 112 to realize switching of different gears. Through the cooperation of the gear 1, the gear bead and the reset spring, each gear has a direct hand feeling, so that the user can conveniently know the firepower size and operate conveniently.

[0045] Preferably, the structures of the plurality of gear grooves 112 are not completely the same, and each gear groove 112 can be different according to needs, so that each gear and different gears have different rotation jerk feelings when converting. In some designs, the firepower size and the gear groove 112 design angle or the gear rotation jerk feeling can be matched, for example, the smaller the firepower, the smaller the jerk feeling, and the user can also rotate the direction to be converted according to the hand feeling.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-3 One of the plurality of gear grooves 112 shown in the figure is a first gear groove 112 corresponding to the 0-degree position of the valve core 3, and the remaining gear grooves 112 are second gear grooves 112 for limiting different rotation angles of the valve core 3, and the rotation angle between the first gear groove 112 and the adjacent second gear groove 112 is greater than or equal to 45°. The off position is also Figure 8In the OFF file, since the valve core 3 in the application can be started in the positive direction or in the reverse direction, in order to increase the sealing performance of the plug valve and ensure the sealing distance, the rotation angle of the OFF file to the reverse 1 file or the positive 1 file is greater than 45°, which prevents gas leakage and improves the safety of the plug valve.

[0047] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of plug valve, as shown in Figures 4-8 The plug valve includes the above-mentioned gear structure, valve core 3 and valve body 4, valve core 3 is connected to the inside of valve body 4, gear 1 is connected to valve core 3, mounting column 2 is connected to valve body 4. Because the plug valve includes any of the above-mentioned gear structures, the plug valve of the embodiment also has the above-mentioned technical effects, which can not only increase the feel of each gear, reduce the friction area between gear 1 and valve body 4, but also prevent further overflow of lubricating oil and improve the user's experience of gear switching.

[0048] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of plug valve, as shown in Figures 4-8 Valve core 3 is provided with air inlet hole 31 corresponding to each second gear slot 112 along its circumference. Multiple air inlet holes 31 can be divided into two kinds, one of which is first air inlet hole 31a for positive starting and air inlet, and the other is second air inlet hole 31b for reverse starting and air inlet, as shown in Figure 8 As shown in

[0049] In this embodiment, the user can start the ignition of the stove by rotating the knob in the positive direction, i.e. counterclockwise, to adjust the fire to the desired fire, such as high fire, medium fire, etc. It can also be directly started in the reverse direction, i.e. clockwise, to facilitate the user to start the stove directly with small fire, saving the process of first turning to large fire and then adjusting to small fire, and improving the user's cooking experience.

[0050] Preferably, the valve core 3 further includes a first air outlet group 32 and a second air outlet 33. The first air outlet group 32 is disposed on the side wall of the valve core 3 and includes a plurality of first air outlets 321 arranged circumferentially along the side wall of the valve core 3. The second air outlet 33 is disposed on the bottom wall of the valve core 3. The plurality of first air outlets 321 and the second air outlet 33 communicate with the first air inlet group 21 and the second air inlet group 22 via the valve core cavity 10. During forward actuation of the valve core, the air inlet pipe 11 of the valve body 1 communicates with the first air inlet 31a. Gas in the first air inlet group 31a can be discharged through the first air outlet group 32 and the second air outlet 33, or the second air outlet 33. During reverse actuation of the valve core, the air inlet pipe 11 of the valve body 1 communicates with the second air inlet 31b and the second air outlet 33. As the clockwise rotation angle of the valve core increases, the air flow rate of the second air inlet 31b gradually decreases. In this way, the user can directly start the stove by reverse starting, and start the stove directly to low heat, eliminating the process of turning to high heat and then adjusting to low heat, thereby improving the user's cooking experience.

[0051] Figure 8 It illustrates the precise control of firepower in five forward gears and three reverse gears. Forward gears 1-4 all use the first air outlet pipe 12 and the second air outlet pipe 13 to exhaust air, that is, the inner and outer rings exhaust. For forward gear 5, only the second air outlet pipe 13, that is, the inner ring exhausts air. Among them, forward gear 1 is a specific firepower adjustment point that is not the maximum fire, and is usually set to a commonly used non-high-fire cooking mode. This design can match the medium-temperature cooking mode by setting the aperture size; forward gear 2 is the maximum load position, that is, the commonly used stir-fry mode; forward gear 3 has a double-ring firepower reduction relative to forward gear 2, realizing firepower reduction control; forward gear 4 has a double-ring firepower reduction again relative to forward gear 3, realizing firepower reduction control; forward gear 5 only has inner ring exhaust, with minimum firepower load; this design satisfies the user's need to switch to low heat after cooking over high heat to avoid the problem of excessive angle rotation, thereby improving the user's cooking experience. The second air inlet 31b for reverse start-up all exhausts from the inner ring and operates at a low fire load. Reverse 1 is a low fire load; Reverse 2 has a lower fire power than Reverse 1; and Reverse 3 has a lower fire power than Reverse 2, representing the minimum fire load. Of course, the number of forward and reverse gears can also be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or even more, depending on user needs. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0052] The present invention provides a plug valve. Figures 4-8 The multiple air intake holes 31 are staggered along the outer periphery of the valve core 3. The valve core 3 does not cause a sudden increase or decrease in the air intake due to the change in the hole diameter during rotation. The air intake path is increased, the flow rate is slowed down, and a stable air intake flow rate is achieved, thus achieving stable combustion on the stove.
