Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stove accessories technology, and in particular to a water tray structure for a stove. Background Technology
[0002] In modern kitchens, cooktops are essential equipment for cooking food, and their performance and safety are always a major concern. The water pan structure of a cooktop, as a crucial component, not only supports and secures the burner but also needs to be designed for ease of cleaning, aesthetics, and convenient installation.
[0003] Traditional cooktop water pan structures typically include a water pan body with burner clearance holes for accommodating the burner and mounting holes for connecting the water pan body to the burner or other cooktop components. However, this design presents some problems in practical use.
[0004] On the one hand, traditional mounting holes are often directly exposed, which not only affects the overall aesthetics of the cooktop but also makes mounting components, such as screws and nuts, susceptible to rust or corrosion from oil and water stains during use, thus affecting their connection stability and lifespan. Furthermore, as consumers' demands for cooktop performance and appearance continue to rise, traditional cooktop water pan structures are no longer sufficient to meet the diverse needs of the market. This is especially true for high-end cooktops, where the detailed design and aesthetics of the water pan structure are paramount, requirements that traditional designs often fail to meet.
[0005] This utility model is based on the above-mentioned circumstances. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a water tray structure for a stove that can cover the mounting holes and mounting connectors, thereby making the appearance cleaner and smoother, with no exposed mounting parts.
[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] A water tray structure for a stove includes a water tray body, on which a burner clearance hole and a mounting countersunk hole for connecting the water tray body to the burner are provided. The mounting countersunk hole is located next to the mounting hole, and a cover cap for covering the mounting connector is detachably connected inside the mounting countersunk hole.
[0009] As described above, in a stove water pan structure, the shielding cap includes a top plate and a support plate connected to the bottom of the top plate. The support plate and the top plate together form an insertion cavity for inserting a connector.
[0010] As described above, in the water tray structure of a stove, the support plate is provided with grooves for dividing it into several support blocks.
[0011] In the water tray structure of the stove described above, a limiting hole is provided on the side wall of the mounting recess.
[0012] In the water tray structure of a stove as described above, one or more of the support blocks are provided with outwardly protruding protrusions, which are inserted into limiting holes.
[0013] As described above, the water pan structure of a stove has multiple mounting recesses on its body, which are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outside of the burner clearance holes.
[0014] In the water tray structure of the stove described above, the shape of the shield cap matches the shape of the countersunk head at the top of the mounting hole.
[0015] In the water tray structure of a stove as described above, the upper surface of the shielding cap is flush with the upper surface of the water tray body or the upper surface of the shielding cap is lower than the upper surface of the water tray body.
[0016] In the water tray structure of the stove described above, the countersunk head at the top of the mounting hole is connected to the burner clearance hole.
[0017] As described above, the water pan structure of a stove also includes an insertion hole on the water pan body for inserting the air duct of the burner.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0019] This invention improves the overall aesthetics of the cooktop by providing a countersunk hole on the water tray body and installing a cover cap inside the countersunk hole to effectively conceal mounting components such as screws and nuts. This design results in a cleaner, smoother appearance after installation, with no exposed mounting parts, meeting consumers' high demands for cooktop aesthetics.
[0020] Secondly, the design of the countersunk hole and the cover cap enhances the installation flexibility of the cooktop. Since the cover cap is detachable, its position can be adjusted or different styles can be replaced during installation to suit different cooktop models or installation environments. This design improves the cooktop's adaptability and ease of installation.
[0021] Finally, the protective cap effectively protects the mounting connectors from contaminants such as oil and water stains. In traditional cooktop sink structures, the mounting holes are often directly exposed, making the connectors susceptible to contamination, rust, or corrosion, thus affecting their connection stability and lifespan. This new sink structure, through the protective cap, effectively extends the lifespan of the mounting connectors, improving the overall performance and safety of the cooktop.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 9 The water tray structure of a stove shown includes a water tray body 1. The water tray body 1 is provided with a burner clearance hole 2 and a mounting countersunk hole 3 for connecting the water tray body 1 to the burner. The mounting countersunk hole 3 is located next to the mounting hole. A cover cap 4 for covering the mounting connector is detachably connected in the mounting countersunk hole 3.
[0034] This invention improves the overall aesthetics of the stove by providing a countersunk hole 3 on the water pan body 1 and a cover cap 4 inside the countersunk hole 3, effectively concealing the mounting connectors, such as screws and nuts. This design results in a cleaner, smoother appearance after installation, with no exposed mounting parts, meeting consumers' high demands for stove appearance. Simultaneously, the cover cap 4 effectively protects the mounting connectors from oil, water stains, and other contaminants, extending their service life and improving the overall performance and safety of the stove.
[0035] In one embodiment, the water tray body 1 is made by stamping a metal sheet; of course, the water tray body 1 can be made by injection molding a plastic material.
[0036] In one embodiment, the shield cap 4 includes a top plate 41 and a support plate 42 connected to the bottom of the top plate 41. The support plate 42 and the top plate 41 together form an insertion cavity 43 for inserting a connector. When installing the shield cap 4, it is only necessary to directly insert it into the mounting countersunk hole 3, making installation very convenient and quick. The support plate 42 cooperates with the mounting countersunk hole 3, thus providing good stability and the overall aesthetics of the stove. The support plate 42 and the top plate 41 are an integral structure.
[0037] In one embodiment, the support plate 42 is provided with slots 44 for dividing it into several support blocks. This improves the adaptability of the support plate 42, simplifies the maintenance and replacement process, and reduces costs. In different installation environments or usage scenarios, support blocks of different shapes or sizes may be required to meet specific support needs. By adjusting the position and number of slots 42, a support structure that meets the requirements can be easily customized, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the stove water pan structure 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, a limiting hole 31 is provided on the side wall of the mounting countersunk hole 3. One or more of the support blocks are provided with outwardly protruding protrusions 421, which are inserted into the limiting hole 31. By designing the mating structure between the protrusions 421 and the limiting hole 31, displacement or detachment of the shielding cap 4 can be effectively prevented during use, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the support block and the mounting countersunk hole 3, improving the stability of the entire structure, and eliminating the need for additional fasteners or complex installation steps. This not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces installation costs. The support blocks have a certain degree of elasticity; they can be pressed together during installation and automatically reset after installation.
[0039] In one embodiment, the water pan body 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting countersunk holes 3, which are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the burner clearance hole 2. Four mounting countersunk holes 3 are preferred.
[0040] In one embodiment, the shape of the shielding cap 4 matches the shape of the countersunk head at the top of the mounting hole 3, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the installation. This allows the shielding cap 4 to be precisely inserted into the mounting hole 3, forming a tight fit with the countersunk head. This tight fit not only ensures the positioning accuracy of the shielding cap 4 during installation but also effectively prevents it from loosening or falling off during use, thus improving the overall stability of the structure. No complex adjustments or corrections are required during installation; simply align the shielding cap 4 with the mounting hole 3 and gently press it in. This not only saves installation time but also reduces installation difficulty, making the installation of the shielding cap 4 more convenient and efficient.
[0041] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the shielding cap 4 is flush with the upper surface of the water tray body 1, or the upper surface of the shielding cap 4 is lower than the upper surface of the water tray body 1, thereby maintaining the overall flatness and aesthetics of the water tray. This flat appearance not only enhances the visual appeal of the product but also makes the water tray easier to clean and maintain.
[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the countersunk head at the top of the mounting countersunk hole 3 communicates with the burner clearance hole 2, thereby making the burner easier to install. Of course, the mounting countersunk hole 3 can also be a separate hole.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the water pan body 1 is also provided with an insertion hole 11 for inserting the air duct of the burner, so that the water pan structure can better match the burner.
