Exemplary subranges of the range 1 to 10 include, but are not limited to, 1 to 6.1, 3.5 to 7.8, 5.5 to 10, etc.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This application discloses a pot support, comprising a base ring 1, multiple foot pieces 2, and a fastener assembly. The multiple foot pieces 2 are spaced apart circumferentially along the base ring 1. Specifically, the base ring 1 is located above the burner on the stovetop, maintaining a certain distance from the burner on the stove panel to ensure that the pot can be placed on the pot support and that there is sufficient space between the bottom of the pot and the burner for heat exchange. The foot pieces 2 are typically connected to the base ring 1 by welding or snap-fitting, forming an integral structure with the base ring 1, thus improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the pot support. Furthermore, for ease of cleaning and maintenance, the base ring 1 and the foot pieces 2 can be detachably connected. For example, a mounting block can be provided at the bottom of the foot piece 2, and the base ring 1 has positioning holes. By embedding the mounting block into the positioning holes, the foot piece 2 is connected to the base ring 1. Users can easily disassemble the pot support for cleaning and replacement as needed. The number of foot pieces 2 is multiple; preferably, there are four foot pieces 2, evenly distributed circumferentially along the base ring 1. The fastener is mounted on one of the foot pieces 2 and is rotatably connected to the foot piece 2. Preferably, the fastener is mounted on the foot piece 2 on the side away from the pot handle. When the pot is placed on the pot support, the fastener can balance the force applied to the pot by the handle, so that the pot is less likely to be unstable, slip, or tip over when placed on the pot support.

[0037] The firmware component includes a first link 3 and a second link 4. One end of the first link 3 is rotatably connected to one of the foot pieces 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second link 4. Preferably, when the cookware is placed on the cookware support, one end of the first link 3 is rotatably connected to one of the foot pieces 2 facing away from the cookware handle via a pivot, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second link 4 via a pivot. This balances the force applied to the cookware by the handle and distributes the weight of the cookware reasonably across the foot pieces, thereby achieving stable support for the cookware.

[0038] A first elastic element 6 is provided at the connection between the first link 3 and the second link 4. The first elastic element 6 causes the second link 4 to move relative to the first link 3 toward the cookware, thereby allowing the other end of the second link 4 to overlap the edge of the cookware. Specifically, through the action of the first elastic element 6, the second link 4 can automatically adjust its position so that its end overlaps the edge of the cookware, providing an additional support point for the cookware, enhancing the stability of the cookware on the pot support, and effectively preventing the cookware from sliding or tilting during heating. In addition, because the first elastic element 6 can provide a certain elastic force, the second link 4 can adapt to cookware of different diameters and shapes. Regardless of the size of the cookware, the second link 4 can automatically adjust its overlapping position through the action of the first elastic element 6 to ensure stable support of the cookware.

[0039] The other end of the second connecting rod 4 is provided with multiple locking teeth 5, which extend towards the bottom ring 1. The edge of the pot is located between two adjacent locking teeth 5. Specifically, the locking teeth 5 can be designed as tooth-shaped structures with a certain slope, so that the edge of the pot can slide more easily into the space between two adjacent locking teeth. The slope and spacing of the locking teeth can be optimized according to the edge size of common pots. The necessary elastic force is provided by the first elastic element 6, allowing the second connecting rod 4 to flexibly adjust its position, ensuring that the locking teeth 5 can tightly lock the edge of the pot. At the same time, the design of multiple locking teeth 5 allows the pot support to adapt to pots of different diameters and shapes. No matter how the edge size of the pot changes, a suitable locking tooth gap can always be found to support the pot, improving the versatility and adaptability of the pot support.

[0040] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to Figure 4 The first link 3 includes a first link portion 32 and a second link portion 33. One end of the first link portion 32 is rotatably connected to one of the foot plates 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second link portion 33. Specifically, one end of the first link portion 32 is rotatably connected to one of the foot plates 2 via a pivot, allowing the first link portion 32 to rotate relative to the foot plate 2 around the connection point, thereby realizing the transmission and conversion of motion. The first link portion 32 and the second link portion 33 are also rotatably connected via a pivot, allowing the first link portion 32 and the second link portion 33 to rotate relative to each other, further increasing the degree of freedom of motion of the mechanical structure and enabling it to adapt to more complex motion requirements.

[0041] The connection between the first rod 32 and the second rod 33 is used to support the outer wall of the cookware. Specifically, when the cookware is placed on the cookware support, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the connection between the first rod 32 and the second rod 33 is supported on the outer wall of the pot. The other end of the second connecting rod 4 overlaps the edge of the pot under the action of the first elastic member 6. The edge of the pot is located between two adjacent locking teeth 5, so that the pot is less likely to be unstable, slip, or tip over when placed on the pot support, making the support more stable.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, a second elastic element is provided at the connection between the first rod 32 and the second rod 33. The second elastic element causes the second rod 33 to move away from the cookware relative to the first rod 32. Specifically, the second elastic element is a torsion spring. The torsion spring causes the second rod 33 to maintain a tendency to move away from the cookware relative to the first rod 32, thereby making the connection between the first rod 32 and the second rod 33 supported on the outer wall of the cookware, making the support more stable.

[0043] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The foot piece 2 includes a vertical connecting part and a horizontal supporting part. One end of the vertical connecting part is fixedly connected to the bottom ring 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal supporting part. Specifically, the vertical connecting part is mainly responsible for connecting with the bottom ring 1 and the horizontal supporting part. It has a certain height and strength and can withstand vertical forces and torques. The vertical connecting part can be fixedly connected to the bottom ring 1 by welding, threaded connection, riveting, etc., to ensure that the connection between the vertical connecting part and the bottom ring 1 is firm and reliable, improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. In addition, the horizontal supporting part and the vertical connecting part can be integrally formed. The horizontal supporting part provides horizontal support, has a certain width and strength, and can withstand horizontal forces and torques, ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0044] The other end of the horizontal support extends horizontally towards the bottom ring 1, forming a support slope. Specifically, the other end of the horizontal support extends horizontally inward, and the side of the horizontal support facing away from the vertical connection has a support slope. The cookware support slope extends inward from top to bottom. The inclination angle of the support slope needs to be designed according to the actual usage environment and stress conditions. An angle that is too large or too small will affect the support effect and the stability of the structure. The optimal inclination angle can be determined through mechanical analysis and experimental verification. By designing the support slope, the contact area between the horizontal support and the cookware or other support surfaces can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the entire structure. In addition, to increase the friction coefficient of the support slope and prevent slippage, the support slope can be surface-treated, such as by sandblasting, painting, or applying an anti-slip coating.

[0045] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The first connecting rod 3 is located at the connection between the vertical connecting part and the horizontal support part. Specifically, the foot piece 2 is L-shaped and includes a vertical connecting part and a horizontal support part. One end of the first connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the outer corner of the vertical connecting part and the horizontal support part of one of the foot pieces 2. This position is the turning point of the foot piece 2 structure, which has good mechanical properties, can withstand a large torque, and is also convenient for connection and cooperation with other components. The first connecting rod 3 can rotate around this connection point, thereby realizing the transmission and conversion of motion.

[0046] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The first connecting rod 3 has a storage groove 31 facing the cookware side, which is used to store the second connecting rod 4. Specifically, the thickness of the first connecting rod 3 is greater than that of the second connecting rod 4, giving the first connecting rod 3 sufficient space and structural strength to create the storage groove 31. At the same time, the greater thickness not only provides the physical basis for the formation of the storage groove 31, but also ensures that the structural strength and stability of the first connecting rod 3 are not affected when storing the second connecting rod 4, reliably bearing the weight of the second connecting rod 4 and any external forces it may experience. When the second connecting rod 4 is not in use, it can be stored in the storage groove 31, allowing it to be properly stored in its non-working state. This prevents the second connecting rod 4 and the locking teeth 5 from being contaminated, avoids damage that might occur from haphazard placement, and also makes the entire mechanical structure look neater and more orderly.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the bottom ring 1 is circular; or the bottom ring 1 is square. Specifically, the bottom ring 1 can be either circular or square, depending on the structure of the stove. By selecting a suitable shape for the bottom ring 1 according to the specific needs of the stove structure, the overall performance and reliability of the stove can be ensured, while improving the user experience.

[0048] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to Figure 2 The first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 7. Specifically, the rotating shaft 7 is typically a cylindrical shaft, with its two ends connected to the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4, respectively. The diameter and length of the rotating shaft 7 can be designed according to the actual force conditions and motion requirements to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection. To reduce friction between the rotating shaft 7 and the connecting rods and improve the flexibility and accuracy of rotation, bearings or bushings can be installed between the rotating shaft 7 and the connecting rods. Bearings or bushings can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the components.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the first elastic element 6 is a torsion spring; specifically, a torsion spring is an elastic element capable of withstanding torsional torque, typically made of spring steel, and possessing a certain initial torque. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the first connecting rod 3, and the other end is fixed to the second connecting rod 4. The torsion spring causes the second connecting rod 4 to maintain a tendency to move towards the cookware relative to the first connecting rod 3, thereby causing the other end of the second connecting rod 4 to overlap the edge of the cookware.

[0050] Alternatively, the first elastic element 6 may be a U-shaped spring sheet. Specifically, a U-shaped spring sheet is an elastic sheet with a U-shaped shape, usually made of elastic metal materials (such as spring steel, stainless steel, etc.), which has a certain elastic deformation capacity, can bend and deform when subjected to external force, and return to its original shape after the force is removed. The two ends of the U-shaped spring sheet are fixed to the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4, and the middle part provides elastic support.

[0051] This application embodiment also provides a gas stove, including a stove body and the aforementioned pot support. The pot support is disposed on the stove body, and the fixing components on the pot support can ensure that the pot is placed stably on the pot support, effectively avoiding common problems such as unstable support, pot slippage and tipping, and significantly improving the safety and stability of pot use.

[0052] This application discloses a pot support and a gas stove. The pot support provided by this application includes a base ring, multiple feet, and a fastener assembly. The multiple feet are spaced apart circumferentially along the base ring. The fastener assembly includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to one of the feet, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod. A first elastic element is provided at the connection between the first and second connecting rods. The first elastic element causes the second connecting rod to move relative to the first connecting rod toward the pot, thereby allowing the other end of the second connecting rod to overlap the edge of the pot. The other end of the second connecting rod is provided with multiple locking teeth extending toward one side of the base ring, with the edge of the pot located between two adjacent locking teeth. This ensures that the pot is placed stably on the pot support, effectively avoiding problems such as unstable support, pot slippage, and tipping, significantly improving the safety and stability of pot use.

[0053] The above description is only an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
