[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages disclosed in the embodiments of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

[0038] This application provides a stove water guiding device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a stove water guiding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the water guiding device of the stove includes a countertop 1, a water guiding groove 2, and a water collection tank 3.

[0039] In one possible embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water guide trough 2 is set on the countertop 1 and is lower than the plane of the countertop 1, so that the cleaning liquid on the countertop 1 can flow into the lower water guide trough 2. The bottom of the water guide trough 2 is provided with a water outlet 21, and the opening of the water collection tank 3 is located below the water outlet 21 to facilitate the collection of liquid in the water guide trough 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the water guide trough 2 is inclined, with the side of the bottom away from the outlet 21 being higher than the side of the bottom near the outlet 21. With this design, the liquid in the entire water guide trough 2 can flow smoothly to the outlet 21 by gravity, allowing wastewater on the countertop 1 to quickly and thoroughly flow into the collection tank 3. This prevents wastewater from remaining on the countertop 1, achieving thorough cleaning of the stovetop and eliminating the need for manual wiping of wastewater, protecting the user's hands and saving time and effort.

[0041] In this embodiment, the outlet 21 is located at the middle of one long side of the water guide channel 2. The height of the opposite side of the long side where the outlet 21 is located is higher than that of the long side where the outlet 21 is located, so that the wastewater on the opposite side can also flow smoothly to the outlet 21 and then to the water collection tank 3.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the opening of the water collection tank 3 extends upward to form a connecting section, and the outlet 21 extends downward to form a water guiding section. The connecting section of the water collection tank 3 is fitted onto the water guiding section of the outlet 21, which can ensure that all the water flowing out of the outlet 21 flows into the water collection tank 3 and avoids splashing on the ground.

[0043] Optionally, grooves are provided on both sides of the water collection tank 3 to facilitate users to lift the water collection tank 3 to clean the wastewater.

[0044] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the water guide trough 2 is arranged around the stove on the countertop 1. The countertop 1 is rectangular, and the stove is located at the center of the countertop 1. The water guide trough 2 is a rectangular ring and is located on the outside of the stove, which can ensure that the wastewater from cleaning the stove flows completely into the water guide trough 2.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the height of the side of the water guide channel 2 near the water outlet 21 is lower than the height of the side away from the water outlet.

[0046] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, a dustproof plate 4 is also provided on the water guide trough 2. The dustproof plate 4 has multiple through holes, and its upper surface is a sloping arc surface. The multiple through holes can play a filtering role. When some large food residues are washed into the water guide trough 2, they can be blocked by the dustproof plate 4 to prevent clogging of the water outlet 21 below.

[0047] In this embodiment, a flange is provided on the inner wall of the water guide channel 2, and the dustproof plate 4 is movably placed on the flange on the inner wall of the water guide channel 2. The dustproof plate 4 can be removed from the flange to clean the wastewater inside.

[0048] Optionally, a handle may be provided on the dust cover 4 to facilitate the user in removing the dust cover 4 from the flange.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the height of the countertop 1 away from the water guide 2 is higher than the height of the countertop 1 near the water guide 2. In this embodiment, the edge of the countertop 1 is higher than the area near the water guide 2, and the height of the stove position is higher than the area near the water guide 2, forming a countertop 1 with a certain slope that is high in the center, high at the edge, and low at the water guide 2, so that water at the outer edge of the countertop 1 and water at the center of the countertop 1 can flow into the water guide 2.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, a rectangular water-retaining protrusion 11 is provided around the edge of the countertop 1, which can effectively prevent wastewater from overflowing from the edge of the countertop 1 and splashing onto the ground.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a stove water guiding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the stove's water guiding device also includes a lifting platform 5 and a lifting drive mechanism 6.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 6 is configured as a lifting platform 5, and the water collection tank 3 is disposed on the lifting platform 5. The lifting drive mechanism 6 can drive the lifting platform 5 and the water collection tank 3 on the lifting platform 5 to move up and down.

[0053] Optionally, a limit block is provided on the lifting platform 5. The limit block is specifically configured as a protrusion surrounding the lifting platform 5. The size of the protrusion is adapted to the size of the water collection tank 3. The limit block is used to limit the water collection tank 3 to prevent the water collection tank 3 from shifting or shaking during the lifting process, and also to facilitate the user to return the water collection tank 3 to its original position after cleaning.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, the stove's water guiding device also includes a weight detection component 7 and a control module 8 (not shown in the figure). The weight detection component 7 can be configured as a pressure sensor, which is located between the lifting platform 5 and the water collection tank 3 and is communicatively connected to the control module 8 to detect the weight information of the water collection tank 3 in real time.

[0055] The control module 8 is communicatively connected to the lifting drive mechanism 6 and is used to send control signals to the lifting drive mechanism 6 based on weight information.

[0056] The stove's water guiding device also includes a buzzer alarm device, which is connected to the control module 8. The buzzer alarm device is used to prompt the user to clean the water collection tank 3 based on the control signal of the control module 8. When the wastewater in the water collection tank 3 reaches a certain weight, the control module 8 will control the buzzer alarm device to sound an alarm to prompt the user to clean the wastewater.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 6 specifically includes a base 61, a linear drive component 62, a height limiting component 63, and two sets of folding frames 64. The two sets of folding frames 64 are symmetrically arranged to ensure strength and stability, ensuring that the upper lifting platform can support a certain weight of load.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 61 has two sets of storage slots, specifically configured as rectangular protrusions adapted to the shape of the folding frame. The two sets of folding frames 64 are arranged in parallel.

[0059] Two sets of folding frames 64 are respectively set on two sets of storage slots. The inner sidewalls of the storage slots are provided with guide slots and rotating slots. The guide slots are waist-shaped and the rotating slots are circular. The folding frame 64 is formed by multiple support rods arranged in a cross pattern. One support leg of the folding frame 64 is rotatably set in the rotating hole, and the other support leg of the folding frame 64 is slidably set in the waist-shaped guide slot.

[0060] When the lifting drive mechanism 6 is in the lowering state, the legs of the folding frame 64 slide along the waist-shaped guide groove, and the height decreases, so that the two sets of folding frames 64 are folded and stored in the storage groove.

[0061] The linear drive unit 62 can be specifically configured as a linear motion motor or a linear cylinder, and is set between the two sets of folding frames 64. The telescopic end of the linear drive unit 62 is connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 5. The linear drive unit 62 is communicatively connected to the control module 8 and is used to drive the lifting platform 5 to rise and fall based on the control signals of the control module 8.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, the height limiting member 63 is located below the lifting platform 5 to limit the height of the lifting platform 5 as it descends. Specifically, it is configured as a U-shaped limiting frame with a preset height, so that the lifting drive mechanism 6 stops descending after moving to the position of the limiting frame, which makes it convenient for the user to replace the water collection tank 3.

[0063] This application also provides a stove, continuing as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the stove includes the aforementioned stove water guiding device and spray head 9; the spray head 9 is set on the countertop 1 and is used to spray the cleaning solution onto the countertop 1. The cleaning solution then flows into the water guiding groove 2 of the stove water guiding device, and then into the water collection tank 3, forming a complete spray cleaning system.

[0064] In some alternative embodiments, the cooktop also includes multiple nozzles 9, annular conduit 10, and a water pump.

[0065] In this embodiment, six nozzles 9 are provided on the cooktop 1, surrounding the water guide trough 2 and the cooktop. An annular conduit 10 is provided below the cooktop 1, in the shape of a rectangular ring, and has an inlet and six outlets. The six outlets are connected to the six nozzles 9 respectively, and the inlet is connected to a water pump.

[0066] With the above setup, the water pump delivers the cleaning solution to the annular conduit 10. The liquid in the annular conduit 10 enters the six nozzles 9 through the six outlets. The six nozzles 9 spray the cleaning solution onto the stovetop 1. By simultaneously delivering the cleaning solution to the six nozzles 9 through an annular conduit 10 and a water pump, the water pressure is kept stable and the spraying area of ​​the six nozzles 9 is approximately the same. On the other hand, this effectively saves costs.

[0067] The cleaning solution after washing enters the water guide trough 2 and then flows into the water collection tank 3, preventing it from staying on the countertop 1. This allows for thorough cleaning of the stovetop without the need to manually wipe away wastewater, protecting the user's hands and saving time and effort.

[0068] It should be noted that the order of the embodiments described above is merely for descriptive purposes and does not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments.
