[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the glass tabletop provided by this utility model includes: an integrally formed first flat portion 1 and a beveled portion 2.

[0039] From back to front, the inclined portion 2 slopes downward, and the upper edge of the inclined portion 2 connects with the front edge of the first flat portion 1. The first flat portion 1 is provided with a burner head mounting hole 3, and the burner head passes through the burner head mounting hole 3 from bottom to top.

[0040] The inclined portion 2 has an installation structure for mounting valve body control components, which are used to control the flow rate of the gas.

[0041] In this embodiment, the countertop is manufactured using a one-piece molding process. There are no seams between the one-piece molded first flat portion 1 and the inclined portion 2, preventing oil residue buildup and facilitating smoother wiping, thus improving overall ease of cleaning and reducing the risk of scratching the user. Furthermore, the inclined portion 2 makes it easier for the user to operate the valve control components, conforming to ergonomic principles.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a second planar portion 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the inclined portion 2. In the left and right direction, the inclined portion 2 and the second planar portion 4 are spaced apart, and an arc-shaped transition surface 5 connects the two. The arc-shaped transition surface 5 is connected to the inclined portion 2, the second planar portion 4 and the first planar portion 1 respectively. The first planar portion 1, the inclined portion 2, the second planar portion 4 and the arc-shaped transition surface 5 are integrally formed.

[0043] The gas stove can be embedded in the cabinet. By setting the second flat part 4, the second flat part 4 can be flush with the cabinet countertops on the left and right sides, thus making the connection between the glass countertop and the cabinet more seamless.

[0044] The arc-shaped transition surface 5, located between the second flat portion 4 and the inclined portion 2, connects the entire glass tabletop into a single irregularly shaped surface, which facilitates wiping and further improves its ease of cleaning.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the included angle β between the first planar portion 1 and the inclined portion 2 is in the range of 180°<β≤240°, so as to facilitate adjustment according to the actual height of the product and meet the needs of convenient operation.

[0046] The glass tabletop can be made of high borosilicate glass.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the installation structure includes an installation area 6 for installing the screen 8. The screen 8 can be a display screen or a touch screen. When the screen 8 is a touch screen, the valve body mounting hole 7 does not need to be set in the installation structure. The gas stove using this glass countertop uses an electric control valve to control the gas flow. The electric control valve is connected to the screen 8. This makes the glass countertop more integrated and easier to clean.

[0048] In the left-right direction, the length of the inclined portion 2 is greater than or equal to the length of the screen 8, and the length of the inclined portion 2 is greater than or equal to the center distance between the two burners, thereby expanding the operating area and facilitating the placement of a larger screen 8.

[0049] The width 'a' of the inclined portion 2 is greater than or equal to the width of the screen 8 that it is paired with.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the mounting structure includes a valve body mounting hole 7. The gas stove using this glass countertop uses a mechanical valve to control the gas flow, and the mechanical valve needs to pass through the valve body mounting hole 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, screen 8 can be a display screen or a touch screen.

[0053] In the left-right direction, the length of the inclined portion 2 is greater than the length of the screen 8, and the two valve body mounting holes 7 are located on the left and right sides of the screen 8 mounting structure, respectively.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the gas stove provided in this embodiment includes the glass countertop of Embodiment 1.

[0056] The gas stove also includes a screen 8 and an electronically controlled valve that controls the gas flow. The screen 8 is a touch screen and is connected to the electronically controlled valve, forming a valve control component. Users can activate the touch screen through the inclined section 2 to adjust the gas flow (including turning the gas on and off). There is no mechanical valve, so there are no knobs on the glass countertop, making the entire glass countertop easier to wipe and clean.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a gas stove that uses the glass countertop of Embodiment 2.

[0059] The gas stove includes a mechanical valve that controls the gas flow rate. The mechanical valve forms part of the valve body control component. After passing through the valve body mounting hole 7, the mechanical valve is connected to the knob. The user manually rotates the knob to control the gas flow rate.

[0060] Example 5

[0061] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, based on Embodiments 3 and 4; or not based on Embodiments 3 and 4, but only on Embodiments 1 and 2, the gas stove also includes a support frame 9. The support frame 9 is located below the glass panel, and the bottom surface of the glass tabletop is connected to the support frame 9. The two can be connected by silicone.

[0062] The support frame 9 is contoured, with a contoured opening at the top. The shape of the contoured opening is consistent with the shape of the glass tabletop, so that the continuous circumferential edges of the contoured opening are in contact with the bottom surface of the glass tabletop.

[0063] Furthermore, the dimensions of the irregularly shaped glass tabletop are greater than or equal to the dimensions of the support frame 9. In the top view, the projection of the support frame 9 onto the glass tabletop coincides with or is located entirely inside the glass tabletop to ensure visual consistency.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
