Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a cookware support assembly and a gas stove. Background Technology

[0002] The stovetop is equipped with a pot support for placing pots and pans, and a drip tray at the bottom of the pot support is used to collect spilled soup, oil, etc. during cooking, preventing them from flowing into the gas stove and thus protecting the normal operation of the gas stove. A foot pad is provided between the pot support and the drip tray to cushion the impact, preventing direct hard contact between the pot support and the drip tray, and also to prevent slipping and ensure stable placement of the pot support.

[0003] In related technologies, the foot pad has a large contact area with the pot support, and the pot support can transfer more heat to the foot pad, causing the foot pad to deform due to heat, affecting the life of the foot pad, and after long-term use, the foot pad is prone to falling off the pot support. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cookware support component to reduce the impact of the heat from the cookware support on the feet and to ensure the stability of the feet.

[0005] The cookware support assembly includes a cookware bracket, a liquid-holding tray, and a buffer structure. The liquid-holding tray is located below the cookware bracket and has a liquid-holding portion and a support platform connected to the outer periphery of the liquid-holding portion. The support platform has an assembly hole that extends through the liquid-holding tray axially. The buffer structure includes a contact portion and an assembly portion connected to the contact portion. The assembly portion passes through the assembly hole and extends radially along the liquid-holding tray. The contact portion is larger than the assembly portion and extends straight along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray, being pressed between the cookware bracket and the liquid-holding tray. The buffer structure engages with the liquid-holding tray.

[0006] Understandably, the buffer structure is inserted into the mounting hole through the assembly part. The assembly part and the mounting hole mutually limit each other, which is conducive to the stable assembly of the buffer structure. At the same time, the buffer structure is snapped into the liquid-holding tray, which facilitates the fixation of the buffer structure. The operation is simple and it is also convenient for timely replacement and disassembly. By pressing the contact part between the pot support and the liquid-holding tray, and extending the contact part straight along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray, the contact between the pot support and the buffer structure is limited to the surface of the contact part. The contact part not only provides a cushioning and anti-slip function, but also reduces the heat transferred from the pot support to the buffer structure, slowing down the thermal deformation of the buffer structure and extending its service life. After long-term use, the buffer structure remains snapped into the liquid-holding tray and will not fall off on its own, ensuring assembly stability.

[0007] In one embodiment, the buffer structure further includes a support portion along the axial direction of the liquid-holding tray, the support portion being connected to the end of the assembly portion away from the contact portion, and protruding relative to the assembly portion along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray, the support portion abutting against the surface of the support platform on the side opposite to the contact portion.

[0008] In one embodiment, the support includes a support block and at least two spaced-apart legs. The support block abuts against the surface of the support platform opposite to the contact portion. The support block is connected to the legs on the side opposite to the pot support along the axis of the liquid tray. Along the circumference of the assembly hole, at least two legs are projected along the axial direction of the liquid tray onto the outer periphery of the assembly hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, along the axis of the liquid-holding tray, the legs are tapered from the support block toward the direction away from the pot support.

[0010] In one embodiment, along the axis of the liquid-holding tray, the support portion is tapered from the mounting hole toward the pot support and forms a guide slope angled to the axis of the liquid-holding tray; along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray, at least one side of the support portion forms the guide slope.

[0011] In one embodiment, the liquid-holding tray further includes a flange surrounding the support platform and connected to the edge of the support platform. The flange is angled to the support platform and extends toward the side away from the pot support. Along the axial direction of the liquid-holding tray, the side of the flange away from the pot support is higher than the support portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the surface of the liquid-holding tray facing the pot support is recessed or bent along the axis of the liquid-holding tray to form an assembly groove. The bottom of the assembly groove is provided with the assembly hole, and the contact portion is provided in the assembly groove, the contact portion abutting against the groove wall of the assembly groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the assembly groove extends radially along the liquid-holding tray, and along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray, the assembly groove has an opening on the side opposite to the axis of the liquid-holding portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the assembly part engages with the wall of the assembly hole.

[0015] This application also provides a gas stove, including a stovetop and a cookware support assembly, the cookware support assembly being installed on the stovetop. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a cookware support assembly 100, which includes a pot support 10 and a liquid collection tray 20. The pot support 10 is used to support the cookware. The liquid collection tray 20 is located below the pot support 10 and has a liquid collection part 21 for collecting soup, oil stains, etc. that overflow during cooking.

[0030] In related technologies, the bottom of the pot support 10 is fixedly covered with feet to form a cushion and avoid hard contact. However, this arrangement results in at least three contact surfaces between the pot support 10 and the feet, with a large contact area. The feet absorb the heat transferred from the pot support 10, causing them to deform due to high temperatures. After prolonged use, under the influence of friction, pressure, and high temperatures, the feet are prone to detaching from the pot support 10.

[0031] Therefore, in this application, the cookware support assembly 100 also includes a buffer structure 30, which abuts against the cookware support 10 to achieve a buffering effect on the cookware support 10. The buffer structure 30 is snapped into the liquid tray 20 to form a fixed assembly, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and facilitates timely replacement.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the liquid-holding tray 20 is further constructed with a support platform 22 connected to the outer periphery of the liquid-holding part 21, which provides reliable support for the pot support 10. The support platform 22 is constructed with an assembly hole 201, which is provided through the liquid-holding tray 20 axially. The buffer structure 30 includes a contact part 31 and an assembly part 32 connected to the contact part 31. The assembly part 32 passes through the assembly hole 201, and the assembly part 32 and the hole wall of the assembly hole 201 form a mutual restraint, which is beneficial to the stability of the assembly process.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20, the contact portion 31 is larger than the assembly portion 32. The contact portion 31 extends straight along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20 and is pressed between the pot support 10 and the liquid-holding tray 20. Thus, the buffer structure 30 mainly achieves buffering through the contact portion 31, avoiding hard contact between the pot support 10 and the support platform 22. The contact portion 31 is limited to the surface of the support platform 22. Combined with the snap-fit ​​design between the buffer structure 30 and the liquid-holding tray 20, the buffer structure 30 is not easy to fall off the liquid-holding tray 20, and it can ensure the stable assembly of the buffer structure 30 relative to the liquid-holding tray 20 even after long-term use. At the same time, since the pot support 10 only abuts against the surface of the contact portion 31, the contact area is small, and the heat transferred is relatively small. In addition, the assembly portion 32 can also transfer and dissipate heat along the axial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20, which helps to reduce the impact of high temperature on the buffer structure 30, slow down the deformation of the buffer structure 30, and extend the service life of the buffer structure 30.

[0034] In summary, by snapping the buffer structure 30 onto the liquid tray 20 and limiting the contact portion 31 of the buffer structure 30 to the support platform 22, the buffer structure 30 is stably assembled relative to the liquid tray 20 and is not easy to fall off on its own. Since the pot support 10 only contacts and abuts against the surface of the contact portion 31, the contact area is small, which helps to reduce the heat transferred from the pot support 10 to the buffer structure 30, reduce the degree of deformation of the buffer structure 30, and extend its service life.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a gas stove 1000, including a stove 200 and the aforementioned cookware support assembly 100. By setting the aforementioned cookware support assembly 100, daily cooking is made more convenient, and the buffer structure 30 is less likely to fall off frequently, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the buffer structure 30 is made of an elastic material, which can deform under force so that the buffer structure 30 can be smoothly assembled with the liquid tray 20. At the same time, it can return to its original shape after the force is removed so as to form a limiting fixation with the liquid tray 20, making the snap-fit ​​process smoother.

[0037] In a further embodiment, the buffer structure 30 is made of a flexible and elastic material, adding flexibility to the elasticity so that the buffer structure 30 can absorb the force of the pot support 10 on the support platform 22, thereby achieving a good buffering effect.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the buffer structure 30 further includes a support portion 33. Along the axial direction of the liquid tray 20, the support portion 33 is connected to the end of the assembly portion 32 away from the contact portion 31 and protrudes radially relative to the assembly portion 32 along the liquid tray 20. The support portion 33 abuts against the surface of the support platform 22 on the side opposite to the contact portion 31. Thus, along the axial direction of the liquid tray 20, the support portion 33 and the support platform 22 form a limiting relationship, so that the support platform 22 is sandwiched between the support portion 33 and the contact portion 31, enhancing the limiting effect. The support portion 33 can also increase the volume of the buffer structure 30, dissipating the heat received by the contact portion 31 from the pot support 10 and reducing the impact of high temperature.

[0039] In another embodiment, the assembly part 32 engages with the wall of the assembly hole 201, which can also achieve stable assembly between the buffer structure 30 and the liquid tray 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, the buffer structure 30 can abut against the stove 200 via the support portion 33.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, the support portion 33 includes a support block 331 and at least two spaced-apart legs 332. The support block 331 abuts against the surface of the support platform 22 on the side opposite to the contact portion 31. The support block 331 is connected to the legs 332 along the axis of the liquid tray 20 on the side opposite to the pot support 10. Along the circumference of the mounting hole 201, at least two legs 332 are projected along the axial direction of the liquid tray 20 onto the outer periphery of the mounting hole 201. With this arrangement, the liquid tray 20 can abut against the stove 200 through the legs 332, forming a support. When a pot is placed on the pot support 10, the pot support 10 presses down on the buffer structure 30, thereby pressing down the legs 332 and preventing the buffer structure 30 from moving. At the same time, at least two legs 332 are provided on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 201, and the force can be distributed to at least two legs 332, which is conducive to support and stability. This also makes the part of the structure between the legs 332 free from pressure, avoiding direct pressure and arching deformation, which would cause unevenness of the pot support 10.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the assembly hole 201 is rectangular. Along the long side of the assembly hole 201, a support leg 332 is provided on one side and another on the other side. The support legs 332 on both sides of the assembly hole 201 provide support, facilitating the distribution of force. Alternatively, the support leg 332 can be provided on one side and another on the other side along the width of the assembly hole 201; or, support legs 332 can be provided on both sides of the assembly hole 201, both along its width and length.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the mounting hole 201 is circular. In this case, at least two legs 332 are distributed circumferentially around the mounting hole 201 to achieve uniform force distribution. Of course, the mounting hole 201 can also be other shapes, and the distribution of the legs 332 can be adjusted according to the shape of the mounting hole 201.

[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, along the axis of the liquid tray 20, the support leg 332 is gradually tapered from the support block 331 away from the pot support 10, so that the pot support 10 can more firmly press the support leg 332 into a fixed position and prevent the buffer structure 30 from moving.

[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, along the axis of the liquid tray 20, the support portion 33 is gradually tapered away from the pot support 10 along the self-assembly hole 201, and forms a guide slope 333 at an angle to the axis of the liquid tray 20, so that at least one side of the support portion 33 forms a guide slope 333 along the radial direction of the liquid tray 20. Since the end of the support portion 33 away from the pot support 10 is small in size, it is easy to extend into the assembly hole 201. The guide slope 333 is provided to guide the support portion 33 through the assembly hole 201 and reduce the pressure generated by the snap-fit.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, taking the assembly hole 201 as a rectangular shape as an example, along the long side of the assembly hole 201, the assembly hole 201 has a guide slope 333 on at least one side. Along the axial direction of the liquid tray 20, the guide slope 333 extends obliquely to the support leg 332. The surface of the support leg 332 on the side where the guide slope 333 is located is also an inclined surface. The guide slope 333 and the surface of the support leg 332 on the side where the guide slope 333 is located are connected to form a continuous plane, which facilitates snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the liquid tray 20 further includes a flange 23, which surrounds the support platform 22 and is connected to the edge of the support platform 22. The flange 23 is set at an angle to the support platform 22 and extends toward the side away from the pot support 10 to cover the support part 33, which helps to protect the structure of the support part 33 and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0048] Specifically, along the axial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20, the side of the flange 23 facing away from the pot support 10 is higher than the support part 33 to avoid the flange 23 directly abutting against the stove 200, thereby avoiding significant wear on the stove 200. When the liquid-holding tray 20 is subjected to pressure from the pot support 10, it will exert a downward squeezing force on the support part 33. At this time, there is a slight gap between the flange 23 and the stove 200.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the flange 23 self-supporting platform 22 extends axially along the liquid-holding tray 20. In another embodiment, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the flange 23 gradually widens along the axial direction of the liquid tray 20 toward the direction away from the pot support 10, leaving enough space for the assembly of the support part 33.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the surface of the liquid tray 20 facing the pot support 10 is recessed or bent along the axis of the liquid tray 20 to form an assembly groove 202. The bottom of the assembly groove 202 has an assembly hole 201, and a contact portion 31 is provided inside the assembly groove 202, abutting against the groove wall of the assembly groove 202. Thus, the groove wall of the assembly groove 202 and the contact portion 31 mutually limit each other, promoting stable assembly of the buffer structure 30. This also prevents the contact portion 31 from protruding relative to the surface of the support platform 22, reducing interference. When cleaning the liquid tray 20, it is less likely to touch the buffer structure 30, which is beneficial for protecting the buffer structure 30 and improving aesthetics. At the same time, this arrangement also prevents dirt and grime from accumulating between the contact portion 31 and the groove wall of the assembly groove 202.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the assembly groove 202 is located at the connection between the support platform 22 and the flange 23. This ensures the structural strength of the flange 23 while making full use of its structure, without requiring a large support platform 22, thus keeping the overall size of the liquid tray 20 relatively small.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the assembly groove 202 extends radially along the liquid-holding tray 20, and along the radial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20, the assembly groove 202 has an opening 2021 on the side opposite to the axis of the liquid-holding part 21. This arrangement allows the opening 2021 to communicate with the outside, and during assembly, the opening 2021 and the outside together form a clearance space, allowing part of the buffer structure 30 to be located at the opening 2021, simplifying assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the liquid-holding part 21 is recessed relative to the support platform 22 along the axial direction of the liquid-holding tray 20, so as to receive soup and other liquids during the cooking process.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
