[0037] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a height-adjustable cooktop embedded in a kitchen countertop, including a cooktop 1 and a housing 2. For clarity, the direction of the cooktop 1 facing the user is defined as "front," and the direction away from the user is defined as "rear." The cooktop 1 includes a support plate 11 and a burner 12, which is disposed within a fire hole 13 in the support plate 11. A support base 14 is provided at the rear end of the support plate 11, and a horizontal rotating shaft 15 passes through the support base 14, allowing the support base 14 to rotate around the rotating shaft 15. A torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided within the rotating shaft 15 to keep the support plate 11 horizontal in its normal state. A lifting mechanism 3 is provided inside the housing 2, and the lifting mechanism 3 is disposed on both sides of the cooktop 1. The lifting mechanism 3 has a vertically extendable lifting rod 31, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 15 are connected to the top ends of the corresponding lifting rods 31. The top of the housing 2 has a lifting port 21 corresponding to the cooktop 1, allowing the cooktop 1 to move vertically into the housing 2.

[0038] like Figures 5-6 , Figures 8-9 As shown in the illustration, the adjustable cooktop embedded in the countertop of the cabinet provided in this embodiment is installed by mounting the housing 2 below the mounting hole 42 on the top surface 41 of the cabinet 4. The lifting rod 31 of the lifting mechanism 3 is raised by controlling the knob 43, causing the cooktop 1 to rise along with the lifting rod 31 and extend from the lifting port 21 at the top of the housing 2, passing through the mounting hole 42 to above the countertop 41. Under the action of the torsion spring within the rotating shaft 15, the support plate 11 gradually becomes horizontal and supports the countertop 41, allowing the user to perform cooking operations. After the user finishes cooking, the support plate 11 can be raised 90 degrees, making the cooktop 1 vertical and perpendicular to the countertop 41. Then, the lifting rod 31 of the lifting mechanism 3 is lowered by controlling the knob 43, causing the cooktop 1 to retract completely into the housing 2, achieving complete concealment. The adjustable cooktop embedded in the countertop provided in this embodiment can be completely hidden, freeing up countertop space and solving the problems of traditional cooktops occupying countertop space, incomplete concealment, and inconvenient operation, while combining aesthetics and practicality. Furthermore, since the cooktop 1 is hidden vertically, it does not occupy excessive internal space in the cabinet 4, providing space for installing other equipment (such as a steam oven or disinfection cabinet) within the cabinet 4.

[0039] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the housing 2 is rectangular in shape and is integrally formed from metal to facilitate transportation, installation, and storage of the stove 1. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 3 is an electric push rod.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, to prevent the rotating shaft 15 from being exposed, in one embodiment of this utility model, both ends of the rotating shaft 15 are located inside the support base 14, and the bottom of the support base 14 is provided with through grooves 141 corresponding to the two ends of the rotating shaft 15. The top of the lifting rod 31 is provided with a horizontal connecting rod 32. One end of the connecting rod 32 is provided with an upwardly extending vertical rod 33, which passes through the through groove 141 and connects to the end corresponding to the rotating shaft 15. To reduce the resistance when the support base 14 rotates, the end of the rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the vertical rod 33. Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, furthermore, in order to store and limit the stove 1, the housing 2 is provided with a storage groove 22 corresponding to the stove 1, and the side wall of the storage groove 22 is provided with a vertical guide groove 23. The lifting mechanism 3 is provided on both sides of the storage groove 22, and the connecting rod 32 passes through the guide groove 23, and the vertical rod 33 is located inside the storage groove 22. In order to cover the stove 1 in the stored state, such as Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 24 is provided on the front side of the storage slot 22.

[0041] In order to supply gas to the burner 12, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the vertical rod 33 and the connecting rod 32 have interconnected gas passages inside. The rotating shaft 15 is hollow and has a first gas pipe 5 inside. One end of the first gas pipe 5 passes through the rotating shaft 15 and the side wall of the support base 14 in sequence and is connected to the burner 12. The other end of the first gas pipe 5 is connected to the interior of the vertical rod 33. Preferably, the rotating shaft 15 and the vertical rod 33 are connected by a rotary joint, and the first gas pipe 5 is connected to the rotary joint to prevent the first gas pipe 5 from twisting when the rotating shaft 15 rotates. One end of the connecting rod 32 is connected to the gas pipeline 7 through a second gas pipe 6. Preferably, the second gas pipe 6 is a telescopic pipe to accommodate the free extension and retraction of the stove 1 within its travel stroke, for example, a corrugated pipe, allowing ±30° rotation. The gas pipeline 7 is a metal pipe to ensure service life.

[0042] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, there are two stoves 1, and each stove 1 is provided with the lifting mechanism 3 on both sides, so as to lift the two stoves 1 separately, avoiding the situation where only one stove needs to be used but both stoves must be lifted at the same time and cannot be adjusted independently.

[0043] like Figures 1-2As shown, in order to conceal the lifting port 21 and the stove 1 inside when the stove 1 is stored, in one embodiment of this utility model, a movable cover plate 25 is provided on the top of the housing 2, and the bottom of the movable cover plate 25 is hinged to the top of the housing 2. The movable cover plate 25 can completely cover the top of the housing 2, and preferably, after the movable cover plate 25 completely covers the top of the housing 2, its top is flush with the countertop 41 of the cabinet 4, with a flatness error ≤0.3mm. Furthermore, a magnetic positioning component (not shown in the figure) is provided between the movable cover plate 25 and the top of the housing 2 to prevent the movable cover plate 25 from being accidentally opened after it is closed. When it needs to be opened, the movable cover plate 25 can be easily lifted by the upward force of the lifting mechanism 3 without affecting the lifting of the stove 1.

[0044] To improve the stability of the stove, such as Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a horizontal bar 34 is provided between the two vertical bars 33, and the two vertical bars 33 are connected together by the horizontal bar 34 to form a bracket, which greatly improves the support stability.

[0045] like Figures 8-9 As shown, this utility model also provides an installation structure for a height-adjustable cooktop embedded in a kitchen cabinet countertop, including a cabinet 4 and the aforementioned height-adjustable cooktop embedded in the countertop. The cabinet 4 has a countertop 41 at its top, and the countertop 41 has mounting holes 42 corresponding to the housing 2. The housing 2 is located inside the cabinet 4 below the mounting holes 42. Preferably, the mounting holes 42 are located on the rear side of the cabinet 4.

[0046] The height-adjustable cooktop embedded in the kitchen countertop provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0047] 1. Space saving: When hidden, it can be completely stored under the countertop, freeing up 60% of the countertop space;

[0048] 2. Concealed Aesthetics: The cooktop is stored vertically, with the top cover flush with the kitchen countertop;

[0049] 3. Improve cabinet space utilization: Free up the front space of the cabinets to install a steam oven or sterilizer, increasing space utilization by 50%.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
