Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gas stove accessory, specifically a gas stove cookware support. Background Technology

[0002] Gas stoves are common cooking appliances in modern kitchens. They are usually equipped with pot supports to stably place pots and pans above the flame for heating.

[0003] Currently, most gas stove cookware supports on the market are made of high-temperature resistant steel plates, etc. Their basic structure mainly includes: a support body for placing around the burner of the stove, which usually forms an open frame structure, such as ring, square or polygonal; several upward-protruding support parts are provided on the support body, and the top surfaces of these support parts together form a planar or near-planar support area to support the bottom of the cookware, so that the cookware can be stably suspended above the flame; at the same time, several legs are connected to the bottom of the support body to stably support the entire support on the gas stove panel.

[0004] The primary function of this existing support structure is to provide stable physical support. However, in practical use, this type of existing support structure has significant drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Significant heat loss and low thermal efficiency: Besides the portion of heat generated by the gas stove flame that is directly radiated upwards and transferred to the bottom of the cookware via convection, a considerable portion is lost through downward and sideways radiation. The open frame structure of existing cooktops and the large space typically beneath the support components lack an effective mechanism for recovering or utilizing this lost heat. The heat is directly radiated to the cooktop or dissipated into the surrounding environment, failing to effectively heat the cookware.

[0006] 2. Energy waste and extended cooking time: Due to the significant heat loss mentioned above, the overall thermal efficiency of gas stoves is not high. To reach the required cooking temperature or complete the cooking process, users need to consume more gas, and the heating time is relatively long. This not only wastes energy but also reduces cooking efficiency.

[0007] 3. Lack of heat gathering function: The existing support structure design mainly considers load-bearing and stability. The structure under the cookware is usually an open space or a simple connecting beam. It is not designed to gather or guide heat to concentrate on the bottom of the cookware. This makes the heat generated by the flame relatively diffuse, which is not conducive to quickly and evenly heating the central area of ​​the cookware. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a gas stove cookware support that is simple in structure, easy to manufacture and process, can effectively reduce heat loss, improve the thermal efficiency of gas stoves, shorten cooking time and save energy.

[0009] The objective of this utility model is achieved in the following way: a gas stove cookware support, comprising:

[0010] A support body having a frame structure defining a central space, with a plurality of downwardly extending legs connected to the lower part of the frame structure.

[0011] Multiple support parts are provided on the frame structure of the bracket body and protrude upwards. The tops of the support parts together form a support position for supporting the bottom of the pot.

[0012] A heat reflector is fixedly connected to the bracket body and is located below the support position formed by the top of the support portion. The heat reflector has a reflective surface facing upwards, i.e. towards the central space.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame structure of the support body is rectangular.

[0014] Furthermore, four support parts and legs are provided, distributed in the middle of the side length of the support body.

[0015] Furthermore, the reflective surface of the heat reflector is an upwardly concave curved surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the upwardly concave curved surface is a spherical, parabolic, or bowl-shaped inner wall structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the reflective surface of the heat reflector is a basically flat plate-like structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the heat reflector and the support body are integrally formed.

[0019] Furthermore, the heat reflector, bracket body, legs, and support are integrally cast.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support leg is equipped with an anti-slip pad.

[0021] Furthermore, the surface of the heat reflector is provided with an enamel layer.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Simple structure, low production cost, and improved market competitiveness.

[0023] 2. A heat reflector is added to this structure. Located below the cookware support, this reflector effectively intercepts heat lost through downward and lateral radiation from the flame and reflects it upwards to the bottom of the cookware. This design significantly reduces ineffective heat loss, allowing more heat energy to be concentrated on heating the cookware, thereby significantly improving the gas stove's thermal efficiency and achieving the goals of saving gas consumption and shortening cooking time.

[0024] 3. When the support is set to four parts and roughly arranged in a cross shape, it can provide stable and even support for cookware of different sizes. This layout not only ensures the stability of the cookware, but also helps the center area of ​​the bottom of the cookware to be aligned with the center of the flame and heat reflector, which helps to concentrate the heat reflection and evenly heat the bottom of the cookware, further improving the heating effect and cooking quality.

[0025] 4. The use of integral casting technology allows the bracket body, legs, support components, and even the heat reflector to be formed in one piece, greatly simplifying the production process. Compared to the traditional process that requires the separate manufacture of multiple parts followed by welding or assembly, integral casting reduces assembly steps, shortens the production cycle, improves production efficiency, and helps reduce manufacturing costs.

[0026] 5. The integrally cast structure has no potential weak points such as welds or connection points, which makes the entire cookware support have higher structural strength and rigidity, stronger load-bearing capacity, and less prone to deformation or damage, thereby extending the product's service life and improving its durability.

[0027] 6. An enamel layer is applied to the surface of the heat reflector or the entire support frame. The smooth, dense, high-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant properties of the enamel layer make it difficult for oil stains and food residue to adhere to the support frame surface, making it very easy to clean. At the same time, the enamel layer can further protect the substrate, enhance the product's durability and aesthetics, and help improve heat reflection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A gas stove cookware support includes: a support body 1, the support body 1 having a frame structure defining a central space, and a plurality of downwardly extending legs 2 connected to the lower part of the frame structure; a plurality of support parts 3, the support parts 3 being disposed on the frame structure of the support body 1 and protruding upward, the tops of the support parts 3 collectively forming a support position for supporting the bottom of the cookware; and a heat reflector 4, the heat reflector 4 being fixedly connected to the support body 1 and located entirely below the support position formed by the tops of the support parts 3, the heat reflector 4 having a reflective surface facing upward, i.e., towards the central space.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support body 1 forms the basic frame, defining the space for flame combustion and pot placement. The legs 2 stably support the entire support on the gas stove surface, ensuring the relative position of the support and the stove is fixed. The support portion 3 directly supports the bottom of the pot, suspending it at a specific height above the flame for easy heating.

[0032] Among them, the heat reflector 4 is located below the bottom of the pot and within the range of flame radiation. The working principle of its upward reflective surface is to intercept and capture the flame radiation heat and some of the convective heat carried by the high-temperature flue gas that would originally dissipate downward or to the side, and redirect this part of the heat upward through reflection so that it acts on the bottom of the pot.

[0033] Compared to traditional technologies, the introduction of the heat reflector 4 significantly alters the heat transfer path. Compared to existing technologies without the reflector, this solution effectively recovers lost heat and reuses it for heating cookware, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the gas stove and achieving the effects of saving gas consumption and shortening cooking time.

[0034] In one embodiment, the frame structure of the bracket body 1 is rectangular. The rectangular structure better adapts to the layout of commonly available rectangular or square gas stove panels, resulting in a more regular and stable placement of the bracket. Furthermore, the rectangular structure is relatively simple, facilitating mold design and standardized production.

[0035] In one embodiment, four support parts 3 and four legs 2 are provided, distributed at the middle position of the side length of the support body 1. Specifically, the number of support parts 3 and legs 2 is four, and their positions are distributed at the middle positions of the four sides of the rectangular body. This arrangement allows the four support parts 3 to roughly form a cross-shaped or symmetrically distributed support point.

[0036] In this embodiment, the four support points are arranged in a cross shape, providing very stable and balanced support for round or square cookware, making it less prone to tilting. At the same time, this layout helps to align the center of the cookware with the center of the flame and heat reflector plate 4 below, resulting in more concentrated heat reflection and more even heating of the bottom of the cookware. Furthermore, the symmetrical distribution of the four support parts and four legs makes the overall structure more regular and aesthetically pleasing.

[0037] In one embodiment, the reflective surface of the heat reflector 4 is an upwardly concave curved surface. Its working principle is similar to a concave mirror or a focusing bowl: when the thermal radiation generated by the flame, which can be approximated as parallel light or point-source diverging light, shines on this concave curved surface, the curved surface will concentrate the reflected heat into a smaller area or focal point or focal region, which is aligned with the center of the bottom of the cookware.

[0038] Compared to planar reflection, concave reflection has a heat focusing effect, which can concentrate the reflected heat energy onto the bottom of the cookware, especially in the central area, which can further improve the heating speed and thermal efficiency, especially for applications that require rapid heating of the center.

[0039] In one embodiment, the upwardly concave surface is a spherical, parabolic, or bowl-shaped inner wall structure.

[0040] In one embodiment, the reflective surface of the heat reflector 4 is a generally flat, plate-like structure. Another optional shape for the reflective surface in this embodiment is a generally flat, plate-like structure. Its working principle utilizes the reflective properties of a plane to reflect downwardly and laterally radiated heat upwards in a roughly parallel manner, effectively preventing heat loss downwards.

[0041] In one embodiment, the heat reflector 4 and the support body 1 are integrally formed. This allows the two components to form a single, seamless whole during manufacturing, rather than requiring later assembly. The absence of connection points such as welds and bolt holes reduces stress concentration and potential fracture points, resulting in a more robust and durable overall structure. Furthermore, the use of integral forming processes such as casting reduces subsequent assembly steps.

[0042] In one embodiment, the heat reflector 4, the bracket body 1, the legs 2, and the support 3 are integrally cast. In this embodiment, not only is the body integral, but all core metal components—the reflector, body, legs, and support—are manufactured in a single casting process, forming a complete single component. The casting process is suitable for mass production, allowing for one-time molding of all major structures, greatly simplifying the manufacturing process and eliminating the need for any assembly. Simultaneously, the entire bracket is a seamless whole, possessing the highest structural strength and rigidity, ensuring its service life. Furthermore, the integral casting structure, for mass production, reduces mold costs, making the manufacturing cost of individual products advantageous.

[0043] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad 5 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 2. This pad is typically made of rubber, silicone, or other materials with a high coefficient of friction. Its working principle is to increase the static friction between the support leg and the stove surface. This significantly improves the stability of the support on the stove, preventing slippage or displacement when placing cookware, stirring food, or during accidental collisions, thus enhancing safety during use.

[0044] In one embodiment, the surface of the heat reflector 4 is provided with an enamel layer. Enamel is a vitreous glaze layer formed on a metal surface through high-temperature sintering. Its working principle utilizes the physical and chemical properties of the enamel layer to improve the performance of the reflector. Simultaneously, the enamel surface is smooth and dense, does not easily adhere to oil stains, and is very easy to clean. Furthermore, the enamel layer effectively protects the internal metal substrate, resisting corrosion from high temperatures, oil stains, cleaning agents, etc., extending its service life. In addition, the enamel color can be selected; for example, using white or specially formulated enamel also provides better heat reflection performance, potentially helping to further improve thermal efficiency. At the same time, different colors and gloss levels can be provided to enhance the product's appearance, thus allowing for widespread use.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
