[0045] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following embodiments.
[0046] This embodiment provides a cooktop, which includes a knob assembly 100 and a valve stem, with the knob assembly 100 connected to the valve stem.
[0047] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the knob assembly 100 includes a knob body 200 and a positioning member 300. The positioning member 300 is located on the bottom surface of the knob body 200, and the bottom surface of the positioning member 300 has a slot 320 for engaging with the valve stem of the stove. The bottom surface of the knob body 200 has a locking part 210, and the positioning member 300 has a locking part 310 that cooperates with the locking part 210. The locking part 210 is detachably connected to the locking part 310, and the locking part 210 and the locking part 310 can be connected at different angles in the horizontal direction to change the setting angle of the slot 320 relative to the knob body 200.
[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slots 320 on the bottom surface of the positioning element 300 face different directions, thus allowing the use of valve stems with different orientations. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the two slots 320 are different in size. The size and shape of the slot 320 can be selected according to different stove valve stems, so as to adapt to different models of valve stems and make the knob assembly 100 more adaptable.
[0049] The engaging part 210 of the knob body 200 is connected to the engaging part 310 of the positioning member 300, and the connection angle between the engaging part 210 and the engaging part 310 in the horizontal direction can be changed so that the setting angle of the slot 320 relative to the knob body 200 can be changed, thereby enabling the slot 320 to engage with the stove valve stem in different directions, making the application range of the knob assembly 100 wider and facilitating the production and assembly of the stove.
[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the engaging portion 210 consists of multiple positioning rods 211, and the engaging portion 310 consists of multiple positioning slots 311 that match the positioning rods 211. The positioning rods 211 are detachably inserted into the positioning slots 311. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 210 is a positioning rod 211, and the engaging portion 310 is a positioning slot 311. The connection between the knob body 200 and the positioning member 300 is achieved by inserting the positioning rods 211 into the positioning slots 311. The number of positioning slots 311 and positioning rods 211 is multiple, thereby making the positioning member 300 more securely connected to the knob body 200. The positioning rod 211 and the positioning groove 311 are detachable. When it is necessary to match valve stems in different directions, the positioning rod 211 and the positioning groove 311 are detached, the positioning component 300 is rotated relative to the knob body 200 by a certain angle, and the positioning rod 211 is reinserted into the positioning groove 311 to change the setting angle of the slot 320 on the bottom surface of the positioning component 300 relative to the knob body 200.
[0051] In other embodiments, the engaging portion 210 may be configured as a positioning groove 311 and the engaging portion 310 as a positioning rod 211. Alternatively, the structure of positioning groove 311 and positioning rod 211 may not be used. Those skilled in the art may choose other suitable structures for engaging portion 210 and engaging portion 310.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning rod 211 extends vertically, which facilitates the connection and disassembly of the positioning rod 211 and the positioning groove 311, making it easier to adjust the setting angle of the slot 320 on the bottom surface of the positioning member 300 relative to the knob body 200, and making it easier for the user to operate. In other embodiments, the positioning rod 211 may also extend at an angle, and those skilled in the art can choose a suitable extension direction of the positioning rod 211 as needed.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple positioning grooves 311 are provided on the top surface of the positioning member 300. The multiple positioning grooves 311 are located near the periphery of the top surface of the positioning member 300, and the connection position is close to the periphery, so that the positioning member 300 is more firmly connected to the knob body 200.
[0054] In this embodiment, multiple positioning slots 311 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the positioning member 300, resulting in a more uniform connection position. This makes the positioning member 300 more securely connected to the knob body 200 and also facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the positioning member 300 relative to the knob body 200, ensuring that the adjustable angle is evenly distributed along the circumference of the positioning member 300. In other embodiments, the multiple positioning slots 311 may not be evenly spaced along the circumference of the positioning member 300. Those skilled in the art can adjust the specific arrangement of the positioning slots 311 and their matching positioning rods 211 according to actual conditions.
[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are eight positioning rods 211 and eight positioning slots 311, which allows the knob assembly 100 to adapt to eight different valve stem directions: up, down, left, right, upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right, thus broadening the application range of the knob assembly 100. In other embodiments, the number of positioning rods 211 and positioning slots 311 can also be selected from other numbers deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art can choose the number of positioning rods 211 and positioning slots 311 according to the actual situation.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the engaging portion 210 is located at the center of the bottom surface of the knob body 200, thereby making the connection between the positioning member 300 and the knob body 200 more stable and facilitating the disassembly and installation of the positioning member 300 and the knob body 200. In other embodiments, the engaging portion 210 may also be located at other positions on the knob body 200, and those skilled in the art can select the specific position of the engaging portion 210 according to the actual situation.
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the knob assembly 100 also includes a handle 400, which is detachably connected to the top of the knob body 200, allowing the user to operate the knob assembly 100 more conveniently. The handle 400 is detachable and replaceable, making it easier to maintain the knob assembly 100 in the future, and the user can also replace different handles 400 by themselves.
[0058] In this embodiment, the handle 400 is pen-shaped. In other embodiments, the handle 400 may also be bridge-shaped, or other handle 400 shapes deemed suitable by those skilled in the art may be selected. By selecting different types of handles 400, the knob assembly 100 can adapt to more usage scenarios, improving the compatibility between the knob assembly 100 and the stove, and expanding its application range.
