[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the illustration, this application proposes a stove, including a control panel 100. The control panel 100 is equipped with a burner assembly 200, an ignition switch 300, and an oil-blocking device. The ignition switch 300 is installed on the front side of the burner assembly 200, and the oil-blocking device is installed on the rear side of the burner assembly 200. The oil-blocking device includes a telescopic bracket 410 and a telescopic baffle 420. The telescopic bracket 410 can extend and retract in the vertical direction. The telescopic bracket 410 is provided with a positioning post 411, and the telescopic baffle 420 is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning post 411 can extend into the positioning hole, and the telescopic baffle 420 is fixed to the telescopic bracket 410 through the positioning hole.
[0035] When the stove provided in this embodiment is not cooking or is steaming / boiling, both the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic baffle 420 are in a retracted state, making the kitchen appear neat and aesthetically pleasing. Both the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic baffle 420 are small in size and occupy little space. Before frying or cooking, the telescopic bracket 410 can be extended first, and then the telescopic baffle 420 can be stretched out. The telescopic baffle 420 is then fitted onto the positioning post 411 through the positioning hole, thus fixing the telescopic baffle 420 to the telescopic bracket 410, thereby fixing the telescopic baffle 420 in the extended state. The telescopic baffle 420 is located on the rear side of the stove head assembly 200, which can, to a certain extent, block liquids, such as oil, splashed from the pot on the stove head assembly 200, reducing oil splashing onto the wall behind the stove and keeping the wall clean to some extent.
[0036] In this embodiment, the front side is the side of the stove that is closer to the operator when in use, and the rear side is the side of the stove that is farther away from the operator when in use.
[0037] The stove provided in this application embodiment can specifically be a liquefied petroleum gas stove or a natural gas stove.
[0038] In some examples, the burner assembly 200 includes a burner 210, a gas pipe, and an igniter, which may be a piezoelectric ceramic igniter, an electronic igniter, etc. One end of the gas pipe is connected to the burner 210, and the other end is connected to a quick-connect fitting.
[0039] In some examples, the cooktop assembly 200 also includes a bracket surrounding the outside of the cooktop 210 for supporting cookware.
[0040] The cooktop may also include a base shell 110, which is installed below the worktable 100. Part of the structure of the burner assembly 200 (e.g., a gas pipe) may be installed inside the base shell 110. The quick-connect fitting for the gas pipe extends below the base shell 110. The cooktop may be countertop or built-in. When the cooktop is countertop, a support leg 111 may be provided at the bottom of the base shell 110 to support the base shell 110 on the countertop. When the cooktop is built-in, the worktable 100 is exposed on the countertop, and the base shell 110 is embedded inside the countertop.
[0041] The number of cooktop assemblies 200 can be one or more, for example, in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the number of burner assemblies 200 is two. In other embodiments, the number of burner assemblies 200 may be other numbers, such as one, three or more.
[0042] The number of ignition switches 300 is the same as the number of burner components 200. Each ignition switch 300 corresponds to one burner component 200, with one ignition switch 300 controlling one burner component 200. The ignition switch 300 activates the igniter of the corresponding burner component 200 to achieve ignition; it also controls the gas intake of the corresponding burner component 200, thereby controlling the flame size.
[0043] In some examples, the ignition switch 300 may be a push-button knob; pressing the ignition switch 300 starts ignition, releasing the ignition switch 300 stops ignition, and rotating the ignition switch 300 is used to adjust the air intake.
[0044] The telescopic bracket 410 is capable of extending and retracting in the vertical direction. When its length in the vertical direction is at its shortest, it is in the retracted state; when its length in the vertical direction is at its longest, it is in the extended state. The bottom of the telescopic bracket 410 is fixed to the operating table 100. The connection between the telescopic bracket 410 and the operating table 100 can be a plug-in connection, snap-fit connection, screw connection, or connection via a connector, such as a bolt or rivet. The telescopic bracket 410 includes at least two telescopic rods 412, with adjacent telescopic rods 412 slidably connected.
[0045] Taking two adjacent telescopic rods 412 in the telescopic bracket 410 as an example, the sliding fit connection method of the two adjacent telescopic rods 412 is illustrated. In one example, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the lower telescopic rod 412 is sleeved on the outside of the upper telescopic rod 412. The top of the inner telescopic rod 412 extends beyond the outside of the outer telescopic rod 412. The outer wall of the inner telescopic rod 412 contacts the inner wall of the outer telescopic rod 412. When the applied external force is below a threshold, the relative position of the two telescopic rods 412 is fixed by the friction between them. It is worth noting that this threshold must be greater than the pulling force of the telescopic stop 420 on the telescopic rod 412, so that even with the telescopic stop 420, the two telescopic rods 412 remain relatively fixed. When the applied external force exceeds the threshold, the inner telescopic rod 412 is pulled upward, causing it to move upward relative to the outer telescopic rod 412. This increases the exposed size of the inner telescopic rod 412, thereby increasing the total length of the telescopic bracket 410, and thus allowing the telescopic bracket 410 to switch from a retracted state to an extended state. When the applied external force exceeds a threshold, the inner telescopic rod 412 is pushed downwards. The inner telescopic rod 412 moves downwards relative to the outer telescopic rod 412, thereby reducing the exposed size of the inner telescopic rod 412 and thus reducing the total length of the telescopic bracket 410. This allows the telescopic bracket 410 to switch from an extended state to a retracted state. When the telescopic bracket 410 includes more telescopic rods 412, the sliding fit connection between two adjacent telescopic rods 412 can be achieved using the above method. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the telescopic bracket 410 in its retracted state, as one example. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the telescopic support 410 in its extended state; Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the telescopic bracket 410, five telescopic rods 412 are sequentially connected, and a positioning post 411 is installed at the top of the innermost telescopic rod 412. When the length of the telescopic bracket 410 in its extended state is constant, a relatively larger number of telescopic rods 412 results in a shorter length in its retracted state, meaning the telescopic bracket 410 occupies less space in its retracted state.
[0046] In another example, the lower telescopic rod 412 is sleeved on the outside of the upper telescopic rod 412, and the top of the inner telescopic rod 412 extends beyond the outer telescopic rod 412. Two through holes are provided on the side of the outer telescopic rod 412, spaced vertically (this configuration is not shown in the figure). A locking member is provided on the outside of the inner telescopic rod 412, and an elastic member connects the locking member to the inner telescopic rod 412. When the telescopic bracket 410 is in the retracted state, the locking member is opposite to the lower through hole, and the elastic member allows the locking member to extend through the through hole, thus fixing the two telescopic rods 412 in the retracted position. Pressing the locking member inward retracts it to the inside of the outer telescopic rod 412, thereby pulling the inner telescopic rod 412 upward, causing the telescopic bracket 410 to move from the retracted state to the extended state. When the telescopic bracket 410 moves to its extended state, the locking member aligns with the through hole on the upper side, and the elastic member allows the locking member to extend through the through hole, thereby fixing the two telescopic rods 412 in the extended position. The number of through holes can be greater than two, so that two adjacent telescopic rods 412 can be fixed in different positions, thereby allowing the telescopic bracket 410 to be positioned at different lengths.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, a handle 413 may be provided on the top of the telescopic bracket 410. The handle 413 helps the user to pull the telescopic bracket 410 up or push it down, thereby improving the user's comfort.
[0048] The number of telescopic brackets 410 can be one or more. When there is only one telescopic bracket 410, it is positioned in the central area of the cooktop along the left-right direction. When there are multiple telescopic brackets 410, they are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the cooktop. In some examples, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, there are two telescopic brackets 410, which are respectively set opposite to the left and right sides of the telescopic stop 420.
[0049] A positioning post 411 is provided on the telescopic bracket 410. The positioning post 411 is installed on the side of the topmost telescopic rod 412. The positioning post 411 can be perpendicular or inclined to the moving direction of the telescopic rod 412. For example, the extending direction of the positioning post 411 can be horizontal, or the extending direction of the positioning post 411 can be inclined upwards from one end connected to the telescopic rod 412 to the other end. For example, in... Figure 2 In this structure, the positioning post 411 is installed on the front side of the telescopic rod 412, and the positioning post 411 extends horizontally forward relative to the telescopic rod 412. The positioning post 411 can be columnar, conical, hook-shaped, etc.
[0050] The telescopic baffle 420 can be a stacked folding structure, a roll-up folding structure, etc.
[0051] When the telescopic stop 420 is a stacked folding structure, the telescopic stop 420 has a first crease and a second crease spaced vertically, dividing it into multiple telescopic surfaces. The telescopic stop 420 can be folded forward along the first crease and backward along the second crease. When the telescopic stop 420 is in the unfolded state, the multiple telescopic surfaces are in the same vertical plane. When the telescopic stop 420 is in the retracted state, the multiple telescopic surfaces are parallel and stacked. The distance between the first crease and the second crease is the width of the telescopic stop 420 in the retracted state (the dimension of the telescopic stop 420 in the front-back direction is the width). In this configuration, the bottom area of the telescopic stop 420 is fixedly connected to the operating table 100, and the positioning hole is located in the top area of the telescopic stop 420. After the telescopic stop 420 is extended, it can be hung on the telescopic bracket 410 through the cooperation of the positioning hole and the positioning post 411. Since the bottom of the telescopic barrier 420 is fixed relative to the operating table 100 and the top of the telescopic barrier 420 is fixed relative to the telescopic bracket 410, the telescopic barrier 420 can be relatively stably fixed in the unfolded state.
[0052] When the telescopic stop 420 is a wound structure, it is wound into a cylindrical structure in the retracted state. The core of this cylindrical structure is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction and also perpendicular to the up-and-down direction. In this configuration, the bottom area of the telescopic stop 420 is rotatably connected to the operating table 100. The positioning hole is located on the outer layer of the wound telescopic stop 420. During the stretching process, the telescopic stop 420 rotates relative to the operating table. After stretching, the telescopic stop 420 can be hooked onto the telescopic bracket 410 through the cooperation of the positioning hole and the positioning post 411. The bottom of the telescopic stop 420 can be rotatably connected to the operating table 100 via a pivot.
[0053] The telescopic baffle 420 may be made of a high-temperature resistant and oil-resistant material. For example, the telescopic baffle 420 may include tin foil, or the telescopic baffle 420 may include a metal sheet that can stretch and deform.
[0054] When the telescopic baffle 420 includes aluminum foil, the telescopic baffle 420 can be a disposable item. Exemplarily, the telescopic baffle 420 includes a detachable aluminum foil roll, which includes a core and aluminum foil wound around the outside of the core. The core is rotatably connected to the operating table 100, meaning the core is relatively fixed to the operating table 100, and the core can rotate axially relative to the operating table to allow the aluminum foil to be pulled out. The core can be fixed to the operating table 100 by a bracket; or, in other embodiments, an oil-blocking base 430 is mounted on the operating table 100, and the core is rotatably mounted on the oil-blocking base 430, rotatably connected to the operating table via the oil-blocking base 430. Tear-tear structures extending axially along the aluminum foil roll are provided at intervals on the aluminum foil. The tear-tear structures can be tear strips or tear lines, and the tear lines can be weak areas formed by multiple holes spaced axially on the aluminum foil roll. A shielding area is formed between two adjacent tear-tear structures, and each shielding area is provided with a positioning hole. As the top of the telescopic baffle 420 is pulled upwards, the outermost shielding area gradually unfolds and is exposed above the worktable 100. The positioning hole of the outermost shielding area engages with the positioning post 411, thereby fixing the position of the shielding area. After the cooking is completed, the outermost shielding area, which has been splattered with dirt, can be torn off using the tearing structure, and the second shielding area becomes the outermost shielding area, which can be pulled out for use in the next cooking process.
[0055] When the telescopic baffle 420 includes a retractable metal sheet, it is reusable. Before cooking, the telescopic baffle 420 can be pulled out and extended, and connected to the telescopic bracket 410 through the engagement of the positioning hole on the telescopic baffle 420 with the positioning post on the telescopic bracket 410. After cooking, the telescopic baffle 420 can be returned to its retracted state for future use.
[0056] The stove provided in this application embodiment, when not cooking, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the telescopic baffle 420 and the telescopic bracket 410 are in the retracted state, resulting in a relatively small exposed size of the telescopic baffle 420 and the telescopic bracket 410, occupying less space, and allowing the wall behind the cookware to be exposed, thus showcasing a more complete overall kitchen design. Before cooking, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic bracket 410 is first extended to increase the height of the positioning column 411, so as to support and fix the telescopic stop 420 at a higher position. After the telescopic bracket 410 is extended and moved into place, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the telescopic baffle 420 is unfolded, and the positioning hole on the telescopic baffle 420 is aligned with the positioning post 411, so that the positioning post 411 enters or passes through the positioning hole to fix the telescopic baffle 420 on the telescopic bracket 410, thus fixing the telescopic baffle 420 in the unfolded state and providing greater coverage of the wall behind the stove. With this configuration, during cooking, the telescopic baffle 420 can block splashed soup, oil, and other impurities, thereby keeping the wall clean for a longer period, reducing the frequency of cleaning, and simplifying the cleaning process.
[0057] In some other embodiments, the telescopic stop 420 can always be sleeved on the positioning post 411 through the positioning hole, so that the top of the telescopic stop 420 is connected to the telescopic bracket 410. In this way, the telescopic stop 420 can be driven to expand or retract synchronously during the telescopic bracket 410's extension and retraction.
[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, in some examples, to facilitate the unfolding of the telescopic barrier 420, a lifting member 421 can be provided at the top edge of the telescopic barrier 420. The structural strength of the lifting member 421 can be greater than that of the telescopic barrier 420, and the dimensions of the lifting member 421 in the front-to-back direction can be larger than those of the telescopic barrier 420, in order to increase the contact area between the lifting member and the user's hand, thereby improving comfort during the lifting process. In specific applications, the lifting member 421 is a rod-shaped lifting rod, and the top edge of the telescopic barrier 420 is connected to the lifting rod. The two ends of the lifting rod can be connected to the upper end of the telescopic bracket 410 through positioning holes and positioning posts 411.
[0059] In an optional design, the oil baffle device further includes an oil baffle base 430, which is mounted on the operating table 100. The oil baffle base 430 has an inner cavity and a first opening and a second opening communicating with the inner cavity. A telescopic bracket 410 is installed in the inner cavity and extends out to the outside of the inner cavity through the first opening. A positioning post 411 is located on the outside of the inner cavity. A portion of the telescopic baffle body 420 is accommodated in the inner cavity and extends out to the outside of the inner cavity through the second opening.
[0060] The oil baffle base 430 provides some protection for the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic baffle 420. In addition, the oil baffle base 430 can reduce the exposed size of the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic baffle 420 when they are in the retracted state, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the stove.
[0061] In some examples, the oil baffle base 430 includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and multiple side plates. These side plates are connected end-to-end in the circumferential direction, and the top plate and bottom plate are connected via the side plates. The top plate, bottom plate, and side plates together form an inner cavity. One of the side plates can be detachably connected to the other side plates, top plate, and bottom plate. This allows the inner cavity to be exposed by removing the side plate, facilitating maintenance of the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic stop 420. When the telescopic stop 420 is for single use, it can be disassembled and replaced. Alternatively, a through hole can be formed on one of the side plates, and a door can be installed at the through hole. The door covers the through hole and can be opened. One side of the door can be hinged to the side plate; rotating the door opens or closes the through hole. The door facilitates exposure of the inner cavity, enabling maintenance of the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic stop 420. When the telescopic stop 420 is for single use, it can be disassembled and replaced.
[0062] The oil baffle base 430 and the control panel 100 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected.
[0063] The oil baffle base 430 can be completely installed on the top surface of the control panel 100. Alternatively, a through hole can be provided in the control panel 100, with part of the oil baffle base 430 installed below the control panel 100, part passing through the through hole of the control panel 100, and extending out of the top of the control panel 100. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, a through hole can be provided in the control panel 100, with the oil baffle base 430 completely installed below the control panel 100, and parts of the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic stop 420 extending out of the through hole.
[0064] When the oil baffle base 430 is partially or entirely located below the operating table 100, the size of the bottom shell 110 can be increased to house the oil baffle base 430 inside the bottom shell 110. The bottom shell 110 can provide some protection for the oil baffle base 430, and the oil baffle base 430 can be connected to the bottom shell 110, thereby increasing the connection points of the oil baffle base 430 and improving the connection stability of the oil baffle base 430.
[0065] When the oil baffle base 430 is fully installed on the top surface of the operating table 100, the operating table 100 does not require drilling, thereby improving the structural stability of the operating table 100. Since the ground of the oil baffle base 430 can be in complete contact with the operating table 100, the contact area between the operating table 100 and the oil baffle base 430 is relatively larger, and the operating table 100 provides better support for the oil baffle base 430, thereby improving the connection stability between the oil baffle base 430 and the operating table 100, and also improving the stability of the oil baffle base 430 during the extension and retraction of the telescopic bracket 410.
[0066] When the oil baffle base 430 is partially or completely installed under the worktable 100, the size of the oil baffle base 430 protruding above the worktable 100 is reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied above the worktable 100 and improving the aesthetics of the stove.
[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in one optional design, the front side of the oil-blocking base 430 is a mirror 431 that is tilted upwards from front to back. Specifically, the bottom area of the front side of the oil-blocking base 430 is closer to the burner head 210, while the top area of the front side of the oil-blocking base 430 is farther away from the burner head 210. In this arrangement, the user can observe the flame above the burner head 210 through the mirror 431. When there is a pot above the burner head 210, the user can observe the flame without bending over, facilitating the adjustment of the ventilation and improving the user's comfort during cooking. Because the mirror 431 is tilted upwards, it is convenient for the user to observe the image reflected in the mirror 431 from above the front of the stove. In some specific embodiments, the oil-blocking base 430 may be made of a high-temperature resistant metal material, and the front side of the oil-blocking base 430 may be polished to form a mirror 431.
[0068] In an alternative design, the telescopic baffle 420 extends and retracts in the vertical direction to switch between a retracted state and an extended state; the oil-blocking device also includes a reset body 440, which is connected to the telescopic baffle 420 and installed in the inner cavity. The reset body 440 is used to switch the telescopic baffle 420 from the extended state to the retracted state.
[0069] It is worth noting that the telescopic stop 420's ability to extend and retract in the vertical direction means that its extension and retraction direction is generally vertical, not limited to being perpendicular to the horizontal plane; it can also be at an angle to the horizontal plane. For example, during the extension of the telescopic stop 420, the bottom edge remains unchanged, while the top edge moves vertically upward or obliquely upward. During the retraction of the telescopic stop 420, the bottom edge remains unchanged, while the top edge moves vertically downward or obliquely downward. The state where the telescopic stop 420 is at its smallest vertical dimension is the retracted state, and the state where the telescopic stop 420 is at its largest vertical dimension is the extended state. After the telescopic stop 420 extends to a certain extent, the positioning hole of the telescopic stop 420 aligns with the positioning post 411 of the telescopic bracket 410. The telescopic stop 420 can be fitted around the positioning post 411 through the positioning hole, thereby fixing the telescopic bracket 410 and the telescopic stop 420. The telescopic bracket 410 thus fixes the telescopic stop 420 in its extended state, which can be either an unfolded state or an extended state between a retracted and unfolded state. During the movement of the telescopic stop 420 from the retracted state to the unfolded state, the operator controls the telescopic stop 420. After the telescopic stop 420 is fully extended, the telescopic bracket 410 positions the telescopic stop 420 through the cooperation of the positioning hole and the positioning post 411. During the retraction of the telescopic stop 420 to the retracted state, the reset body 440 moves the telescopic stop 420, causing it to return to the retracted state. The reset body 440 may include an elastic structure connected to the telescopic stop 420. During the movement of the telescopic stop 420 from its retracted state to its extended state, the elastic structure elastically deforms and stores force. After the telescopic stop 420 is used, the operator moves the telescopic stop 420, causing the positioning pin 411 to disengage from the positioning hole. Then, the elastic structure can drive the telescopic stop 420 to move back to its retracted state. Exemplarily, the reset body 440 may include an elastic rope or a coil spring 442 (e.g., ...). Figure 8The telescopic stop 420 has an elastic structure (as shown). When the telescopic stop 420 is a stacked folding structure, the reset body 440 may include an elastic rope, the two ends of which can be connected to the top and bottom of the telescopic stop 420 respectively. During the unfolding of the telescopic stop 420, the elastic rope stretches to store force. When the telescopic stop 420 is a coiled folding structure, the reset body 440 may include a coil spring 442. One end of the coil spring 442 can be fixed to the oil baffle base 430 or the operating table 100, and the other end of the coil spring 442 is connected to one end of the telescopic stop 420. The telescopic stop 420 is coiled around the outside of the coil spring 442, and the edge of the telescopic stop 420 coiled on the outside is the top edge. When the top edge moves upward, it causes the coil spring 442 to coil and compress, so that the coil spring 442 stores force. In the above embodiments, the reset body 440 facilitates the reset of the telescopic stop 420, making the reset operation of the telescopic stop 420 more effortless.
[0070] In an alternative design, the reset body 440 includes a shaft 441 and a coil spring 442. The shaft 441 is installed in the inner cavity, one end of the coil spring 442 is connected to the shaft 441, and the other end is connected to the telescopic stop 420. At least a portion of the telescopic stop 420 is wound around the outside of the coil spring 442.
[0071] The shaft 441 is installed inside the cavity of the oil baffle base 430, and its axial ends can be connected to the inner walls of opposite sides of the cavity. The connection between the shaft 441 and the inner wall of the cavity can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection. Fixed connections can be achieved through welding, bonding, etc., while detachable connections can be achieved through snap-fitting, screwing, etc. For example, hooks can be provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the cavity, with the tops of the hooks extending upwards. Sockets are provided at both ends of the side of the shaft 441. The shaft 441 is placed with the sockets facing downwards and inserted into the cavity of the oil baffle base 430 from top to bottom, so that the hooks extend into the corresponding sockets, thereby engaging the two ends of the shaft with the inner wall of the cavity. The coil spring 442 can be made of a thin, elastic metal sheet wound together. The telescopic stop 420 and the coil spring 442 can be connected by bonding, welding, bolting, riveting, etc. In this configuration, the reset body 440 is installed inside the oil-blocking base 430. The oil-blocking base 430 provides some protection for the reset body 440 and also acts as a shield, enhancing the aesthetics of the stove. The reset body 440 includes a coil spring 442, enabling the folding baffle to adopt a coiled folding structure. This folding method does not produce obvious creases during folding, thereby reducing stress concentration at the creases and increasing the number of times the folding baffle can be reused.
[0072] In an optional design, the oil-blocking device further includes a scraper 450, which is mounted on the oil-blocking base 430 and contacts the front side of the telescopic baffle 420. The scraper 450 can be made of materials such as rubber or sponge, and has a certain degree of toughness. The scraper 450 has a strip-shaped structure, with its width in the front-to-back direction, its thickness in the top-to-bottom direction, and its length in the left-to-right direction of the stove. In the left-to-right direction of the stove, the size of the scraper 450 is equal to or slightly larger than the size of the telescopic baffle 420. As the telescopic baffle 420 moves from its extended state to its retracted state, the scraper 450 scrapes off impurities (such as oil, soup, water, etc.) from the front side of the telescopic baffle 420, thus providing a self-cleaning effect. This means that when cleaning the telescopic baffle 420 is required, the operator does not need to manually clean the entire front side of the extended baffle 420; only the impurities scraped off near the scraper 450 need to be cleaned. The cleaning process is convenient and quick, and it also reduces oil buildup on the telescopic baffle 420. The second opening can be increased in the front-rear direction to accommodate the scraper 450, positioning it at the front of the telescopic baffle 420. Alternatively, the scraper 450 can be positioned on the top surface of the oil-blocking base 430. The scraper 450 can be connected to the oil-blocking base 430 at both ends along its length.
[0073] In an alternative design, the oil blocking device further includes an oil reservoir 460, and the scraper 450 has an oil guiding surface for guiding the liquid scraped off by the scraper 450 to the oil reservoir 460.
[0074] The oil-guiding surface of the scraper 450 is located on its top surface, and may be part or all of the top surface. The oil-guiding surface is inclined and can be flat or curved. It slopes downwards from the side near the telescopic baffle 420 towards the side near the oil reservoir 460, allowing impurities scraped by the scraper 450 to flow towards the oil reservoir 460 under the guidance of the oil-guiding surface. It is worth noting that the oil-guiding surface can serve not only as a guide for oil but also as a guide for other impurities such as broth and water scraped by the scraper 450. The oil reservoir 460 can serve not only as a temporary storage space for oil but also as a temporary storage space for other impurities such as broth and water scraped by the scraper 450. When the cooktop includes an oil-retaining base 430, the oil reservoir 460 can be located within the inner cavity of the base, and the oil reservoir 460 can be detachably connected to the base. Alternatively, the oil reservoir 460 can be placed inside the base, with the inner wall of the base limiting its position, without further connecting the oil reservoir 460 to the base. This design facilitates the removal of the oil reservoir 460 from the oil-retaining base 430 for cleaning. Because of the oil-guiding surface and the oil reservoir 460, it is unnecessary to clean the debris scraped off by the scraper 450 each time, reducing cleaning frequency and improving user comfort.
[0075] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in one optional design, the control panel 100 is equipped with a cover 480, and the top of the oil reservoir 460 has an oil inlet. The oil inlet includes a first section and a second section 461. The first section is located in front of the second section 461. The cover 480 covers the first section, and the oil-guiding surface of the scraper 450 is used to guide the liquid to the second section 461. In some examples, the oil inlet is divided into two areas in the front-rear direction, and the two areas are connected. The area in front is the first section, and the area in the rear is the second section 461. It is worth noting that the first section and the second section 461 are only for easy distinction between two different areas in the front-rear direction of the oil inlet, and are not physically separated.
[0076] The cover 480 can be directly placed on top of the oil reservoir 460 and cover the first area. Alternatively, if an oil baffle base 430 is provided, the oil baffle base 430 has an opening in the area opposite to the top oil inlet of the oil reservoir 460, and the cover 480 can be placed on the opening of the oil baffle base 430 and located above the first area, thereby covering and covering the first area.
[0077] In this configuration, the oil inlet of the oil reservoir 460 is relatively large to facilitate cleaning. Since the cover 480 covers the first section, it protects the oil reservoir 460 during use, reducing dust accumulation. Furthermore, the cover 480 provides some concealment of the oil reservoir 460, improving the overall aesthetics of the stove. The cover 480 can be made of the same material as the oil baffle base 430 or a different material. When the cover 480 is placed on the oil baffle base 430, using the same material as the cover 480 ensures a higher degree of visual consistency for the oil baffle base 430.
[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, in an optional design, the oil-blocking device further includes a nozzle 470, a pumping component, and a cleaning fluid tank. The cleaning fluid tank is installed inside the inner cavity, and the nozzle 470 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank via the pumping component. The pumping component is used to deliver liquid from the cleaning fluid tank to the nozzle 470, which sprays liquid onto the front side of the telescopic baffle 420. The cleaning fluid tank contains cleaning fluid, which can be water or a cleaning agent with stronger degreasing and stain-removing effects. By spraying cleaning fluid onto the telescopic baffle 420 through the nozzle 470, the cleaning fluid can dissolve the oil stains on the telescopic baffle 420 to a certain extent, making it easier to separate the oil stains from the telescopic baffle 420. The cleaning fluid also increases the amount of liquid on the telescopic baffle 420, thereby helping to allow solid or liquid impurities scraped from the telescopic baffle 420 to flow along the oil guide surface into the oil storage tank 460 by gravity. The cleaning fluid tank can be fixedly installed in the inner cavity. The oil baffle base 430 is provided with an opening communicating with the cleaning fluid tank, through which cleaning fluid can be poured into the cleaning fluid tank. Alternatively, in some other examples, the cleaning fluid tank is housed within the inner cavity and can be removed from the inner cavity for easy addition of cleaning fluid or for deep cleaning of the cleaning fluid tank. The pumping unit has an on / off switch for controlling the start or stop of the pumping unit, and the on / off switch controls whether the nozzle 470 sprays. The on / off switch can be installed on the oil baffle base 430 or on the control panel 100.
[0079] The nozzle 470 can be installed on top of the oil baffle base 430, or the nozzle 470 can also be installed inside the oil baffle base 430. Figure 8As shown, in one optional design, a notch is provided at the top of the front sidewall of the oil reservoir 460, through which the nozzle 470 is exposed. In this arrangement, the nozzle 470 is installed inside the oil baffle base 430, which shields and protects the nozzle 470, improving the aesthetics of the stove. Before use, the cover 480 is opened to expose the nozzle 470, and the on / off switch is activated to control the nozzle 470 to spray cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid passes through the oil inlet of the oil reservoir 460 and is sprayed onto the telescopic baffle 420. In this arrangement, the cleaning fluid travels above the oil reservoir 460, so at least part of the cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the telescopic baffle 420. Even if some cleaning fluid falls during the movement, it falls into the oil reservoir 460, facilitating the collection and unified treatment of the cleaning fluid.
[0080] The oil-blocking device in the stove provided in this application embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can provide a certain degree of shielding for the wall behind the stove to reduce the oil splashed onto the wall behind the stove and keep the wall clean to a certain extent.
[0081] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
