AI Technical Summary
Existing stainless steel cooktop panels are prone to deformation and warping under high temperatures, resulting in gaps between the panel and the valve body. In existing technologies, threaded connections require manual tightening during assembly and installation, increasing assembly time. Furthermore, the valve body's waterproof ring is small, making it susceptible to water ingress and affecting its lifespan. Welded or screw-locked bracket structures also occupy a significant amount of space.
The device employs a snap-fit connection method between the limiting component and the panel and the bottom shell. The first connecting part of the limiting component snaps into the protrusion of the bottom shell and the snap-fit part of the panel, while the second connecting part snaps into the snap-fit part of the panel. This prevents the panel from shaking, deforming, or warping, simplifies the installation process, and saves costs and space.
This design achieves a stable connection between the panel and the base shell, simplifies the installation process, saves assembly time and costs, reduces space occupation, and improves service life and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically to a stove. Background Technology
[0002] To improve the safety and durability of cooktops, stainless steel panels are now commonly used. However, stainless steel panels can warp and curl at high temperatures, creating gaps between the panel and the countertop. To address this issue, existing methods include using nuts to thread the stainless steel panel and valve body together at the valve stem, or welding or screwing a bracket to secure the stainless steel panel to the bottom shell. These methods ensure the stainless steel panel remains flat and prevent warping and curling.
[0003] However, the use of threaded connections requires manual tightening during assembly and installation, which increases assembly time. Furthermore, due to the threaded connection structure of the valve body, the waterproof ring of the valve body is small, making the valve body prone to water ingress, affecting its service life, and even causing safety hazards. The structure of welding the bottom shell or locking the bracket with screws occupies a large amount of space. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a stove is provided, the technical solution of which is as follows.
[0005] The stove includes a bottom shell, a panel, and a limiting member. The bottom shell forms a receiving cavity with an opening on one side, and a flange is formed around the opening. A protrusion with an opening is formed on the bottom surface of the flange, and a first locking part is formed around the opening on the protrusion. The panel has a plate body that covers the opening, and the outer edge of the plate body is bent to form a second locking part. The limiting member has a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part passes through the opening and engages with the first locking part, and the second connecting part engages with the second locking part.
[0006] The stove of this utility model is connected to the panel and the bottom shell respectively by limiting parts. The first connecting part passes through the opening and engages with the first locking part, and the second connecting part engages with the second locking part. This can effectively prevent the panel from shaking, deforming and lifting, and ensure the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell. In addition, the snap-fit connection method is easy to install, saves assembly time, has a simple structure, saves costs, and occupies less space.
[0007] For example, the second locking part includes a bottom body and a side body. The bottom body is opposite to the plate body, and the side body is connected between the bottom body and the plate body. The bottom body, the side body, and the panel together form a locking cavity, and the second connecting part extends into the locking cavity. This configuration improves the stability of the connection between the second connecting part and the second locking part, thereby effectively preventing the panel from shaking, deforming, or warping through the limiting member.
[0008] For example, the convex bulge has a connecting sidewall opposite to the side body, and an opening is provided on the connecting sidewall. This arrangement facilitates the connection of the limiting member to both the convex bulge and the panel, simplifying installation and saving installation time.
[0009] For example, the convex bulge has a first locking engagement wall away from the bottom surface, and the first connecting portion has a first mating surface. The first connecting portion passes through the opening, and the first mating surface forms surface contact with the first locking engagement wall. This configuration ensures the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion and the first locking portion, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member and the convex bulge, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0010] For example, the convex bulge has a second locking engagement wall connected to the first locking engagement wall, and the first connecting portion has a second engagement surface adjacent to the first engagement surface, with the second engagement surface forming surface contact with the second locking engagement wall. This arrangement prevents the first connecting portion from wobbling between at least two second locking engagement walls, thereby more effectively preventing the panel from wobbling relative to the bottom shell and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0011] For example, a connecting section is provided between the first connecting part and the second connecting part. The connecting section has an outer side surface, and a stepped surface is formed between the outer side surface and the second mating surface. The stepped surface abuts against the connecting side wall. This arrangement prevents the first connecting part from shaking relative to the connecting side wall, thereby more effectively preventing the panel from shaking relative to the bottom shell, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0012] For example, the second connecting part is inclined relative to the connecting section. This arrangement not only facilitates the engagement of the second connecting part with the second locking part, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the second connecting part and the second locking part.
[0013] For example, the convex bulge has a connecting sidewall opposite to the side body, an opening is provided on the connecting sidewall, and a through hole is provided on the bottom surface between the connecting sidewall and the side body, the through hole communicating with the opening. This configuration facilitates the connection of the limiting member to the convex bulge and the panel respectively, making installation easier and saving installation time.
[0014] For example, the convex bulge has a first locking engagement wall away from the bottom surface, and the first connecting portion has a first mating surface. The first connecting portion passes through the opening, and the first mating surface forms surface contact with the first locking engagement wall. This configuration ensures the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion and the first locking portion, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member and the convex bulge, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0015] For example, the convex bulge has a second latching wall connected to the first latching wall, and the first connecting portion has a second mating surface adjacent to a first mating surface, with the second mating surface and the second latching wall forming surface contact. This arrangement prevents the first connecting portion from wobbling between at least two second latching walls, thereby more effectively preventing the panel from wobbling relative to the bottom shell and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0016] For example, the convex bulge has a third locking engagement wall opposite to the opening, and the end of the first connecting portion away from the second connecting portion abuts against the third locking engagement wall. This arrangement prevents the first connecting portion from wobbling between the third locking engagement wall and the side body, thereby more effectively preventing the panel from wobbling relative to the bottom shell, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0017] For example, a connecting segment is provided between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the connecting segment passes through the through hole. This arrangement not only facilitates the engagement of the first connecting part with the first locking part and the second connecting part with the second locking part, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the limiting member and the bottom shell.
[0018] For example, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are arranged parallel to each other, and the connecting segment is inclined relative to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. This arrangement further facilitates the engagement of the first connecting portion with the first locking portion and the second connecting portion with the second locking portion, and also further enhances the stability of the connection between the limiting member and the bottom shell.
[0019] For example, the convex hull has two connecting sidewalls opposite to the two adjacent side bodies, and an opening passes through the two connecting sidewalls. This configuration allows for the limiting of the second locking portion of each of the two adjacent side bodies by a single limiting member, saving costs and facilitating installation, thereby reducing installation time.
[0020] For example, the convex bulge has a first locking engagement wall away from the bottom surface, and the first connecting portion has a first mating surface. The first connecting portion passes through the opening, and the first mating surface forms surface contact with the first locking engagement wall. This configuration ensures the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion and the first locking portion, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member and the convex bulge, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0021] For example, there are two second connecting parts, each located at one end of the limiting member, and the first connecting part is located between the two second connecting parts. This configuration allows for the limiting of the second locking portions of two adjacent side bodies using a single limiting member, saving costs and effectively preventing panel wobbling, deformation, and warping, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel and the bottom shell.
[0022] For example, there are multiple protrusions, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the flange. This arrangement further effectively prevents the panel from shaking and warping, and further enhances the stability of the connection between the panel and the base shell.

This utility model description is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

Detailed Implementation
[0043] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.
[0044] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.
[0045] This utility model provides a stove that can be used in, but is not limited to, household kitchens. The following will describe in detail one such stove according to an embodiment of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0046] See also Figures 1 to 15 The cooktop 10 may include a bottom shell 100, a panel 200, and a limiting member 300. The bottom shell 100 may form a receiving cavity (not shown) with an opening 110 on one side, and a flange 120 may be formed around the opening 110. A protrusion 122 with an opening 1221 may be formed on the bottom surface 121 of the flange 120. A first locking portion 1222 may be formed around the opening 1221 on the protrusion 122. The panel 200 may have a plate body 210. The plate body 210 may cover the opening 110, and the outer edge of the plate body 210 may be bent to form a second locking portion 220. The limiting member 300 may have a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 320. The first connecting portion 310 may pass through the opening 1221 and engage with the first locking portion 1222. The second connecting part 320 can be engaged with the second locking part 220.
[0047] The stove 10 of this utility model is connected to the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100 respectively by limiting members 300. The first connecting part 310 passes through the opening 1221 and is engaged with the first locking part 1222. The second connecting part 320 is engaged with the second locking part 220. This can effectively prevent the panel 200 from shaking, deforming and lifting, and ensure the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. In addition, the snap-fit connection method is easy to install, saves assembly time, has a simple structure, saves costs, and occupies less space.
[0048] It should be noted that the first connecting part 310 can pass through the opening 1221 and engage with the first locking part 1222, and the second connecting part 320 can engage with the second locking part 220. Thus, the protrusion 122 limits the positioning member 300 in the mounting direction X where the panel body 210 covers the opening 110, effectively preventing the panel 200 from wobbling relative to the bottom shell 100 in the mounting direction X. Furthermore, the positioning member 300 can at least partially form surface contact with the bottom surface 121 of the flange 120, further limiting the positioning member 300 in the mounting direction X, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0049] Specifically, the shape of the protrusion 122 can be a hollow cube or a hollow cuboid, which facilitates stamping. Of course, it is also possible that the shape of the protrusion 122 can be a hollow hemisphere. Preferably, the limiting member 300 can be an insert structure, which is easy to process and manufacture, and the use of an insert structure to assemble with the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100 saves assembly time.
[0050] Furthermore, the cooktop 10 may also include a burner 400. The burner 400 is at least partially located within the receiving cavity.
[0051] See again Figures 1 to 15 The second locking portion 220 may include a bottom body 221 and a side body 222. The bottom body 221 may be opposite to the plate body 210. The side body 222 may be connected between the bottom body 221 and the plate body 210. The bottom body 221, the side body 222, and the panel 200 may surround to form a locking cavity 230. The second connecting portion 320 may extend into the locking cavity 230. In this way, the stability of the connection between the second connecting portion 320 and the second locking portion 220 is improved, thereby effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking, deforming, or warping through the limiting member 300.
[0052] Furthermore, the second connecting portion 320 may have a connecting surface 321, which can form a surface contact with the bottom body 221 to limit the limiting member 300 in the installation direction X. The fixing of the bottom body 221 by the limiting member 300 can effectively prevent the edge of the panel 200 from deforming or warping. To further ensure the stability of the connection, the second connecting portion 320 and the bottom body 221 may be in an interference fit.
[0053] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figures 1 to 5 The protrusion 122 can protrude from the bottom surface 121 in the installation direction X so that the first connecting part 310 can be engaged with the first locking part 1222.
[0054] See again Figures 1 to 5 The protrusion 122 may have a connecting sidewall 1223 opposite to the side body 222. An opening 1221 may be provided on the connecting sidewall 1223. This facilitates the connection of the limiting member 300 to both the protrusion 122 and the panel 200, simplifying installation and saving installation time. Preferably, the opening 1221 may be on the entire connecting sidewall 1223, allowing the first connecting portion 310 to easily pass through it. Of course, the opening 1221 may also be on a portion of the connecting sidewall 1223.
[0055] See again Figures 1 to 5The protrusion 122 may have a first locking engagement wall 1224 away from the bottom surface 121. The first connecting portion 310 may have a first mating surface 311. The first connecting portion 310 may pass through the opening 1221. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 may form surface contact. In this way, the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion 310 and the first locking portion 1222 is ensured, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the protrusion 122, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Specifically, the first locking engagement wall 1224 may be parallel to the bottom surface 121. When the first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 form surface contact, the contact pressure distribution is more uniform, improving the durability of the protrusion 122 and facilitating stamping processing.
[0056] See again Figures 1 to 5 The protrusion 122 may have a second latching wall 1225 connected to the first latching wall 1224. The first connecting portion 310 may have a second mating surface 312 adjacent to the first mating surface 311. The second mating surface 312 and the second latching wall 1225 may form surface contact. In this way, the first connecting portion 310 is prevented from shaking between at least two second latching walls 1225, thereby more effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking relative to the bottom shell 100, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Specifically, there may be two second mating surfaces 312, which may be arranged opposite to each other. There may also be two second latching walls 1225, which may be arranged opposite to each other and may be located on both sides of the opening 1221. The two second mating surfaces 312 and the two second locking mating walls 1225 can form a one-to-one surface contact, which facilitates the limiting member 300 to be limited, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0057] Preferably, the protrusion 122 may have a third locking engagement wall 1226 opposite to the opening 1221, and the end of the first connecting portion 310 away from the second connecting portion 320 may also have a certain distance from the third locking engagement wall 1226, thereby saving costs. In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the end of the first connecting portion 310 away from the second connecting portion 320 may abut against the third locking engagement wall 1226. In this way, the first connecting portion 310 is prevented from shaking between the third locking engagement wall 1226 and the side body 222, thereby more effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking relative to the bottom shell 100, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0058] See again Figures 1 to 5A connecting section 330 may be provided between the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320. The connecting section 330 may have an outer surface 331. A stepped surface 340 may be formed between the outer surface 331 and the second mating surface 312. The stepped surface 340 may abut against the connecting sidewall 1223. Specifically, the stepped surface 340 may be provided on both sides of the first connecting portion 310, and the stepped surface 340 may abut against the end of the connecting sidewall 1223 or the second locking mating wall 1225 near the connecting sidewall 1223. In this way, the first connecting portion 310 is prevented from shaking relative to the connecting sidewall 1223, thereby more effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking relative to the bottom shell 100, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. In an embodiment not shown in the figures, the outer surface 331 of the connecting segment 330 may have a stepped protrusion, which may abut against the end of the connecting sidewall 1223 or the second locking engagement wall 1225 near the connecting sidewall 1223. The connecting segment 330 may have a stepped protrusion in the installation direction X, which may abut against the end of the connecting sidewall 1223 or the first locking engagement wall 1224 near the connecting sidewall 1223.
[0059] Furthermore, the end of the second connecting part 320 away from the first connecting part 310 can abut against the side body 222, thereby preventing the limiting member 300 from shaking between the connecting side wall 1223 and the side body 222, and further improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0060] See again Figures 1 to 5 The second connecting portion 320 can be inclined relative to the connecting section 330. Specifically, the second connecting portion 320 is inclined relative to the connecting section 330 in the installation direction X. This not only facilitates the engagement of the second connecting portion 320 with the second locking portion 220, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the second connecting portion 320 and the second locking portion 220. Of course, it is not ruled out that the second connecting portion 320 may be an arc-shaped segment protruding in the direction opposite to the installation direction X.
[0061] It should be noted that during assembly, the plate body 210 is first fastened to the opening 110, and then the first connecting part 310 is passed through the opening 1221. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking mating wall 1224 form surface contact, and the second mating surface 312 and the second locking mating wall 1225 form surface contact, until the stepped surface 340 abuts against the connecting side wall 1223, thus completing the engagement of the first connecting part 310 and the first locking part 1222. The limiting member 300 can have a certain elasticity, so that the second connecting part 320 is bent relative to its initial state and inserted into the locking cavity 230 under the action of external force. After the elastic restoring force restores the initial state, the connecting surface 321 of the second connecting part 320 forms surface contact with the bottom body 221, and the end of the second connecting part 320 away from the first connecting part 310 abuts against the side body 222, so as to complete the installation of the panel 200 relative to the bottom shell 100.
[0062] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figures 6 to 10 The protrusion 122 can protrude from the bottom surface 121 in the opposite direction to the mounting direction X, so as to improve the limiting of the bottom shell 100 and the panel 200 on the limiting member 300 in the mounting direction X.
[0063] See again Figures 6 to 10 The convex bulge 122 may have a connecting sidewall 1223 opposite to the side body 222. An opening 1221 may be provided on the connecting sidewall 1223. A through hole 1211 may be provided on the bottom surface 121 between the connecting sidewall 1223 and the side body 222. The through hole 1211 may communicate with the opening 1221. This facilitates the connection of the limiting member 300 to both the convex bulge 122 and the panel 200, simplifying installation and saving installation time. Preferably, the opening 1221 may be on the entire connecting sidewall 1223, allowing the first connecting part 310 to pass through it. It is not excluded that the opening 1221 may be on only a portion of the connecting sidewall 1223. For ease of manufacturing, the through hole 1211 may be a square hole. Of course, the through hole 1211 may also be a circular hole or an elliptical hole, etc.
[0064] See again Figures 6 to 10The protrusion 122 may have a first locking engagement wall 1224 away from the bottom surface 121. The first connecting portion 310 may have a first mating surface 311. The first connecting portion 310 may pass through the opening 1221. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 may form surface contact. In this way, the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion 310 and the first locking portion 1222 is ensured, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the protrusion 122, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Specifically, the first locking engagement wall 1224 may be parallel to the bottom surface 121. When the first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 form surface contact, the contact pressure distribution is more uniform, improving the durability of the protrusion 122 and facilitating stamping processing.
[0065] See again Figures 6 to 10 The protrusion 122 may have a second latching wall 1225 connected to the first latching wall 1224. The first connecting portion 310 may have a second mating surface 312 adjacent to the first mating surface 311. The second mating surface 312 and the second latching wall 1225 may form surface contact. In this way, the first connecting portion 310 is prevented from shaking between at least two second latching walls 1225, thereby more effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking relative to the bottom shell 100, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Specifically, there may be two second mating surfaces 312, which may be arranged opposite to each other. There may also be two second latching walls 1225, which may be arranged opposite to each other and may be located on both sides of the opening 1221. The two second mating surfaces 312 and the two second locking mating walls 1225 can form a one-to-one surface contact, which facilitates the limiting member 300 to be limited, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0066] See again Figures 6 to 10 The protrusion 122 may have a third locking engagement wall 1226 opposite to the opening 1221. The end of the first connecting portion 310 away from the second connecting portion 320 may abut against the third locking engagement wall 1226. This prevents the first connecting portion 310 from wobbling between the third locking engagement wall 1226 and the side body 222, thereby more effectively preventing the panel 200 from wobbling relative to the bottom shell 100, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Preferably, the third locking engagement wall 1226 may be inclined relative to the first locking engagement wall 1224, facilitating the abutment of the end of the first connecting portion 310 away from the second connecting portion 320 against the third locking engagement wall 1226.
[0067] Furthermore, the end of the second connecting part 320 away from the first connecting part 310 can abut against the side body 222, thereby preventing the limiting member 300 from shaking between the third locking engagement wall 1226 and the side body 222, and further improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0068] See again Figures 6 to 10 A connecting section 330 may be provided between the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320. The connecting section 330 may pass through the through hole 1211. This not only facilitates the engagement of the first connecting portion 310 with the first locking portion 1222 and the second connecting portion 320 with the second locking portion 220, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the bottom shell 100. Furthermore, the through hole 1211 may have two hole sidewalls 1211a on both sides opposite to the opening 1221. The connecting section 330 may have two outer surfaces 331. The two outer surfaces 331 abut against the two hole sidewalls 1211a one-to-one to prevent the connecting section 330 from wobbling between the two hole sidewalls 1211a. Specifically, for ease of manufacturing, the through hole 1211 may be a square hole. Of course, the through hole 1211 may also be a circular hole or an elliptical hole, etc.
[0069] In some embodiments, the through hole 1211 may have two hole connecting walls 1211b opposite to the opening 1221, and the two hole connecting walls 1211b may at least partially abut against the connecting section 330 to enhance the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the bottom shell 100.
[0070] See again Figures 6 to 10 The first connecting portion 310 can be arranged parallel to the second connecting portion 320, and the connecting segment 330 can be arranged at an angle relative to the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320. This further facilitates the engagement of the first connecting portion 310 with the first locking portion 1222 and the second connecting portion 320 with the second locking portion 220, and also further enhances the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the bottom shell 100.
[0071] It should be noted that during assembly, the plate body 210 is first fastened to the opening 110, so that the first connecting part 310 passes through the through hole 1211 until the connecting section 330 passes through the through hole 1211. Then, the first connecting part 310 is passed through the opening 1221 until the end of the first connecting part 310 away from the second connecting part 320 abuts against the third locking engagement wall 1226. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 form surface contact, and the second mating surface 312 and the second locking engagement wall 1225 form surface contact. A surface contact is formed, and the first connecting part 310 and the first locking part 1222 are engaged. The limiting member 300 can have a certain elasticity, so that the second connecting part 320 is bent relative to its initial state and inserted into the locking cavity 230 under the action of external force. After the initial state is restored by the elastic restoring force, the connecting surface 321 of the second connecting part 320 forms a surface contact with the bottom body 221, and the end of the second connecting part 320 away from the first connecting part 310 abuts against the side body 222, so as to complete the installation of the panel 200 relative to the bottom shell 100.
[0072] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figures 11 to 15 The protrusion 122 can protrude from the bottom surface 121 in the installation direction X so that the first connecting part 310 can be engaged with the first locking part 1222.
[0073] See again Figures 11 to 15 The convex bulge 122 may have two connecting sidewalls 1223 opposite to the two adjacent side bodies 222. The opening 1221 may penetrate through the two connecting sidewalls 1223. In this way, the second locking portion 220 of each of the two adjacent side bodies 222 can be limited by a limiting member 300, which saves costs and facilitates installation, thereby saving installation time. Preferably, the opening 1221 may fully penetrate through the two connecting sidewalls 1223, making it easy for the first connecting portion 310 to pass through the opening 1221. Of course, it is not excluded that the opening 1221 may partially penetrate through the two connecting sidewalls 1223.
[0074] See again Figures 11 to 15The protrusion 122 may have a first locking engagement wall 1224 away from the bottom surface 121. The first connecting portion 310 may have a first mating surface 311. The first connecting portion 310 may pass through the opening 1221. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 may form surface contact. In this way, the stability of the connection between the first connecting portion 310 and the first locking portion 1222 is ensured, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting member 300 and the protrusion 122, and further ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100. Specifically, the first locking engagement wall 1224 may be parallel to the bottom surface 121. When the first mating surface 311 and the first locking engagement wall 1224 form surface contact, the contact pressure distribution is more uniform, improving the durability of the protrusion 122 and facilitating stamping processing.
[0075] See again Figures 11 to 15 There can be two second connecting portions 320. The two second connecting portions 320 can be located at opposite ends of the limiting member 300, and the first connecting portion 310 can be located between the two second connecting portions 320. In this way, a single limiting member 300 can limit the second locking portions 220 of each of the two adjacent side bodies 222, saving costs and effectively preventing the panel 200 from shaking, deforming, or warping, ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0076] Furthermore, the ends of the two second connecting portions 320 that are away from the first connecting portion 310 can abut against the two side bodies 222 one by one, thereby preventing the limiting member 300 from shaking between the two adjacent side bodies 222 and further improving the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the bottom shell 100.
[0077] It should be noted that during assembly, the plate body 210 is first fastened to the opening 110, and then the first connecting part 310 is passed through the opening 1221 and abuts against the connecting side wall 1223. The first mating surface 311 and the first locking mating wall 1224 form a surface contact, thus completing the locking of the first connecting part 310 and the first locking part 1222. The limiting member 300 can have a certain elasticity. When a second connecting part 320 is bent relative to its initial state by external force and inserted into the locking cavity 230, after returning to its initial state by the elastic restoring force, the connecting surface 321 of the second connecting part 320 forms a surface contact with the bottom body 221, and the end of the second connecting part 320 away from the first connecting part 310 abuts against the side body 222. The other second connecting part 320 is then subjected to the above operation to complete the installation of the panel 200 relative to the bottom shell 100.
[0078] In some embodiments, multiple protrusions 122 may be present. These multiple protrusions 122 may be spaced apart circumferentially along the flange 120. Understandably, multiple limiting members 300 may be present. Each limiting member 300 corresponds to one of the multiple protrusions 122. This further effectively prevents the panel 200 from shaking or warping, and further enhances the stability of the connection between the panel 200 and the base shell 100. It should be noted that different structures of protrusions 122 can be matched with corresponding structures of limiting members 300, allowing selection based on different sizes of panels 200 or different application scenarios of the cooktop 10.
