[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an integrated stove with a warming plate device includes a stove body (1) and a range hood (2) connected above the stove body (1);

[0030] A dish warmer (3) is installed on the upper surface of the range hood (2). The dish warmer (3) includes a plate (3a), a heating element (3b), and a placement plate (3c). The plate (3a) is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the range hood (2). The placement plate (3c) is installed on the upper surface of the plate (3a). There is an installation space between the placement plate (3c) and the plate (3a). The heating element (3b) is fixed in the installation space. The middle part of the upper surface of the placement plate (3c) is recessed downward to form a placement area (3ca). The placement area (3ca) is used to place dishes.

[0031] To compensate for the insufficient utilization of space above the range hood (2), a dish warmer (3) is provided above the range hood (2) in this invention. Since the height of the range hood (2) is relatively low in the integrated stove, the dish warmer (3) makes it convenient for users to take out dishes or place cooked food on the dish warmer (3) to keep it warm. When the range hood (2) is in operation, due to the operation of the internal fan, some poorly installed integrated stoves may cause the range hood (2) to vibrate slightly when the fan is turned on. If a dish is placed on the dish warmer (3), the dish will move continuously until it moves to the edge of the range hood (2) and falls off. Therefore, the placement plate (3c) of the dish warmer (3) in this invention is recessed in the middle to form a placement area (3ca). Placing the dish in the placement area (3ca) can limit the dish and prevent it from falling off the dish warmer (3).

[0032] The warming device (3) is composed of a plate (3a) and a plate (3a) structure of a placement plate (3c). After assembly, its thickness is relatively small and will not affect the original device above the range hood (2), thus greatly improving the space utilization rate above the range hood (2).

[0033] Preferably, multiple placement plates (3c) are provided, and multiple placement plates (3c) are installed sequentially and adjacent to each other above the plate body (3a).

[0034] Multiple placement plates (3c) are provided, and the width of the multiple placement plates (3c) is different. Users can place their dishes in different placement areas (3ca) according to the size of their own dishes, so as to improve the practicality of the dish warmer (3).

[0035] Preferably, the placement plate (3c) is made of glass.

[0036] In addition to using the plate warmer (3) to heat and keep the plate warm, users can also place cooked food on the plate warmer (3) to keep it warm. However, when food is placed or taken out, some juice will drip onto the placement plate (3c), and as the heating element (3b) heats it, it will dry on the placement plate (3c), affecting its hygiene. If the placement plate (3c) is made of glass, it is easier for users to observe dirt and remind them to clean it. At the same time, the glass placement plate (3c) is easier to clean oil stains.

[0037] In addition, since the heating components (3b) are mostly electrically heated, their temperature is relatively high. If other materials are used, the temperature of the placement plate (3c) will be too high, which will affect the user's ability to directly pick up the warmed plate and will not be conducive to the user's experience.

[0038] Preferably, it also includes a support pipe (4), one end of which is connected to the bottom of the plate (3a), and the other end of which is connected to the back of the range hood (2).

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the range hood (2) of some integrated cooktops is curved. In order to better support the dish warmer (3), a support tube (4) is also provided on the lower end of the dish warmer (3). The support tube (4) is connected to the back of the range hood (2) without adding extra space consumption. The support tube (4) can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the dish warmer (3), so that when it can bear the weight of the dish, its force-bearing surface is more uniform, thereby improving its practicality.

[0040] Preferably, the support tube (4) includes a first support tube (4a) and a second support tube (4b), both of which have a hollow tube structure.

[0041] The plate (3a) is also provided with an air inlet pipe (3aa) and an air outlet pipe (3ab). The air inlet pipe (3aa) and the air outlet pipe (3ab) pass through the upper end face and the lower end face of the plate (3a) respectively. The upper end of the first support pipe (4a) is connected to the air inlet pipe (3aa), and the upper end of the second support pipe (4b) is connected to the air outlet pipe (3ab).

[0042] The stove body (1) also includes a steaming and baking module (5), which is connected to a first exhaust pipe (6). The end of the first exhaust pipe (6) is connected to a first branch pipe (7) and a second branch pipe (8). The first branch pipe (7) is connected to the lower end of the first support pipe (4a), and the second branch pipe (8) is connected to the exhaust port of the stove body (1).

[0043] The range hood (2) is connected to a second exhaust pipe (9), the upper end of which is connected to the lower end of the second support pipe (4b), and the lower end of which is connected to the second branch pipe (8).

[0044] When the user uses the steam oven module (5), high-temperature steam is generated. Ordinary integrated stoves will discharge excess steam from the stove body (1) through the second branch pipe (8). Due to the addition of the extra support pipe (4), the support pipe (4) not only improves the stress on the warming plate device (3), but also facilitates the connection between the first exhaust pipe (6) of the steam oven module (5) and the warming plate device (3). Some of the steam can be input to the warming plate device (3) through the first exhaust pipe (6). In order to avoid excessive steam affecting the user experience, the second exhaust pipe (9) of the range hood (2) is connected to the second support pipe (4b). At this time, after the steam is heated on the warming plate device (3), it will be drawn away by the second exhaust pipe (9) connected to the exhaust pipe (3ab). This achieves the effect of warming the plate. At this time, the power of the heating component (3b) can be reduced or the heating component (3b) can be turned off to save energy.

[0045] Preferably, it also includes a heat insulation cover (12), one side of which is hinged to one side of the plate (3a).

[0046] In order to make better use of steam to warm the dish, a heat insulation cover (12) is added to the dish warming device (3) in this utility model. The heat insulation cover (12) allows the steam to be retained in the dish warming device (3) and the heat insulation cover (12), thereby improving the heat utilization rate of the steam.

[0047] Preferably, it also includes an electronic three-way valve (10) and an electronic ball valve (11), wherein the electronic three-way valve (10) is connected to the first exhaust pipe (6), the first branch pipe (7) and the second branch pipe (8) respectively;

[0048] The electronic ball valve (11) is disposed inside the exhaust pipe;

[0049] The electronic ball valve (11) and the electronic three-way valve (10) are electrically connected to the range hood (2).

[0050] Of course, in order to better control the use of steam, the steam input can be controlled by controlling the electronic three-way valve (10), and then the steam recovery amount can be adjusted by adjusting the electronic ball valve (11). The steam retention time in the warming device (3) and the heat preservation cover (12) can be effectively balanced, and the temperature of the steam can be used to warm the dishes, so that the dishes or food are kept at a reasonable temperature.

[0051] Preferably, the heating component (3b) is a heating wire, with both ends of the heating wire fixed to the plate (3a) and the heating wire meandering within the installation space.

[0052] To achieve better heating, the heating wires are distributed in a meandering manner within the installation space, ensuring that all parts of the placement area (3ca) are effectively heated, thus avoiding uneven heating in certain areas that could result in poor dish warming performance.
