Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated stoves, and in particular to an integrated stove countertop structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing integrated cooktop countertop structures, such as the Midea 2201A Smart 1 split-type integrated cooktop manufactured by our company, include a countertop and a valve body structure for controlling the start of the cooktop. The countertop has a first mounting hole for the valve body structure. This valve body structure includes a valve body, a valve stem, and a valve cover connected to the top of the valve body. The valve cover has a connecting pipe extending into the first mounting hole. The bottom of the valve stem can move through the connecting pipe and be inserted into the valve body. It also includes a sealing structure made of elastic material. To ensure both the movement of the valve stem and the sealing effect, an upper sealing ring and a lower sealing ring are designed. Both the upper and lower sealing rings are circular. The upper sealing ring is fitted over the valve stem and presses against the first mounting hole; the lower sealing ring is fitted over the connecting pipe. However, this structure requires two sealing rings, making installation inconvenient. Furthermore, spills on the countertop can easily flow from the gap between the upper sealing ring and the valve stem into the space between the two sealing rings, making cleaning difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated cooktop structure that reduces the number of sealing rings, facilitates installation, prevents soup from flowing in, and makes cleaning easier.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an integrated cooktop structure, including a cooktop and a valve body structure for controlling the start of the cooktop; the cooktop is provided with a first mounting hole for mounting the valve body structure; the valve body structure includes a valve body, a valve stem, and a valve cover connected to the top of the valve body, the valve cover having a connecting pipe extending into the first mounting hole, the bottom of the valve stem being movable through the connecting pipe and inserted into the valve body, and also includes a sealing structure made of elastic material, the sealing structure including a sealing plug sleeved outside the connecting pipe, the outer periphery of the sealing plug being threaded to the first mounting hole, the top of the sealing plug having an annular pressing edge pressing against the top surface of the cooktop, the top of the sealing plug forming an upwardly convex conical surface, the middle of the conical surface forming a first hole, the top of the valve stem passing through the first hole to connect to a knob, and an active space being formed inside the sealing plug below the conical surface. The sealing plug of this product is threaded onto the first mounting hole, thus achieving a seal at the first mounting hole. The sealing plug is designed with a movable space and a conical surface. The conical surface is thinner, allowing it to compress downwards into the movable space as the valve stem moves. Even when the conical surface is pressed tightly against the valve stem, it will not affect normal movement, thus ensuring a seal at the valve stem and accommodating the up-and-down movement of the valve stem. Furthermore, the conical surface bulges upwards in the middle, increasing the height of the first hole to prevent spills and facilitate cleaning. Additionally, the annular pressing edge presses firmly against the top surface of the countertop, also ensuring a good seal. The entire product requires only one sealing plug, making the structure simpler and easier to assemble and disassemble.

[0005] Furthermore, the countertop is provided with a second mounting hole for installing the stove.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This product has only one sealing plug, which reduces the number of sealing rings and facilitates installation. In addition, the height of the first hole is increased to ensure the sealing effect, prevent soup from flowing in, and facilitate cleaning. The design provides room for movement to ensure the normal movement of the valve stem. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the invention and not all structures. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0013] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0014] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0015] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an integrated cooktop countertop structure includes a countertop 1, two second mounting holes 5, and two valve body structures 2. The two second mounting holes 5 are located on the countertop 1 and are used to install cooktops. The valve body structures 2 are used to control the start and stop of the cooktops. The countertop 1 has two first mounting holes 3, each of which houses one valve body structure 2. The valve body structure 2 includes a valve body 21, a valve stem 22, and a valve cover 23. The valve cover 23 is connected to the top of the valve body 21 and has a connecting pipe 231 extending into the first mounting holes 3. The bottom of the valve stem 22 can be movably inserted into the valve body 21 through the connecting pipe 231. It also includes a sealing structure 4 made of elastic material. This part of the structure is similar to the structure on existing integrated cooktops, such as the structure of our company's 2201A Smart Supreme 1 split-type integrated cooktop, and will not be described again here.

[0016] The sealing structure 4 of this product is completely different from existing sealing structures. Specifically, the sealing structure 4 of this product includes a cylindrical sealing plug 41, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 231. The sealing plug 41 is threaded into the first mounting hole 3, that is, the outer periphery of the sealing plug 41 has external threads, and the inner ring of the first mounting hole 3 has internal threads, with the internal threads threadedly connected to the external threads. The top periphery of the sealing plug 41 has an annular pressing edge 42, which is pressed against the top surface of the platform 1. An active space 42 is formed inside the sealing plug 41. The top of the sealing plug 41 forms a conical surface 411, which bulges upward in the middle. The active space 43 is located directly below the conical surface 411. A first hole is provided in the middle of the top of the conical surface 411. The top of the valve stem 22 passes through the first hole to connect to the knob, and the valve stem 22 is pressed into the first hole. Both the sealing plug 41 and the conical surface 411 are made of rubber material, and the conical surface 411 is made into a thinner structure for easy movement.

[0017] In use, press the knob, which in turn presses the valve stem 22. The valve stem 22 can cause the conical surface 411 to be recessed downwards and squeeze the movable space 43. Rotate the knob, which in turn causes the valve stem 22 to rotate around the conical surface 411, thereby realizing the gas on / off and ignition operations of the valve body. The specific methods of gas on / off and ignition are common knowledge and will not be elaborated here. Please refer to our company's 2201A Smart Supreme 1 split-type integrated stove.

[0018] The improvement of this product lies in the sealing structure 4, where the sealing plug 41 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 3 to achieve a seal at the first mounting hole. Furthermore, the conical surface bulges upwards in the middle, increasing the height of the first hole in the middle of the conical surface, preventing soup from flowing into the gap between the first hole and the valve stem 22. Pressing the valve stem 22 causes the conical surface 411 to deform and compress the active space. For the issue of venting the active space, venting can be achieved through the first hole or by opening a hole at the bottom of the active space. Moreover, the rubber material itself has a certain degree of elasticity, so it will not affect use. Furthermore, the conical surface 411 and the sealing plug 41 are designed as a single unit, eliminating gaps and preventing soup from flowing into the active space 43, facilitating cleaning. Only one sealing structure needs to be installed, meaning there is only one part, making disassembly and assembly convenient and not affecting the normal movement of the valve stem 22.

[0019] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
