[0002] With the widespread adoption and intelligent development of modern kitchen appliances, gas stoves and integrated cooktops have become one of the core appliances in family kitchens. Integrated cooktops, as kitchen appliances that combine a range hood, gas stove, and disinfection cabinet, primarily use an oil cup designed to collect oil produced during cooking. Currently, most oil cups use snap-on or magnetic installation structures. While these designs are stable initially, they have significant shortcomings in practical use.
[0003] Whether it's a snap-on or magnetic structure, users need to apply external force when taking out or putting in the oil cup. During operation, uneven force can easily cause the oil cup to tilt, leading to oil leakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil cup and an integrated stove to alleviate the technical problem of oil cups easily spilling.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an oil cup, comprising: a support and a cup body, wherein the cup body and the support are connected by a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction of the oil cup, and the two parts of the cup body located on both sides of the rotating shaft have the same weight, so that the cup body can maintain a horizontal state after the support rotates relative to the cup body around the rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, the support includes a frame, with a hollow area enclosed in the middle of the frame, and the cup is located within the hollow area.
[0007] Furthermore, bearings are installed on the bracket;
[0008] The rotating shaft is mounted on the cup body and is connected to the bearing.
[0009] Furthermore, the cup body includes a first inner sidewall, a second inner sidewall, a third inner sidewall, and a fourth inner sidewall connected end to end in the circumferential direction, and the first inner sidewall and the third inner sidewall are parallel, and the second inner sidewall and the fourth inner sidewall are parallel.
[0010] The pivot is perpendicular to the first inner wall and the third inner wall;
[0011] A first guide rib is provided on the first inner sidewall and the second inner sidewall. The first guide rib extends from the first inner sidewall to the second inner sidewall, and along the direction from the first inner sidewall to the second inner sidewall, the first guide rib is inclined towards the opening of the cup body.
[0012] The third inner wall and the fourth inner wall are provided with second guide ribs. The second guide ribs extend from the third inner wall to the fourth inner wall, and along the direction from the third inner wall to the fourth inner wall, the second guide ribs are inclined towards the opening of the cup body.
[0013] Furthermore, along the direction from the first inner wall toward the third inner wall, the second inner wall is inclined in a direction away from the fourth inner wall;
[0014] Along the direction of the third inner wall toward the first inner wall, the fourth inner wall is inclined away from the second inner wall.
[0015] Furthermore, among the first inner wall, the second inner wall, the third inner wall, and the fourth inner wall, the joints connecting the two are rounded.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the cup body includes a first inclined surface located on one side of the pivot and a second inclined surface located on the other side of the pivot, with the distance between the first and second inclined surfaces gradually decreasing from top to bottom.
[0017] Furthermore, the support is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part, which are located on opposite sides of the rotating shaft. The first limiting part is located below one end of the cup body, and the second limiting part is located below the other end of the cup body, in order to prevent the cup body from rotating relative to the support beyond a preset angle.
[0018] Furthermore, handles are provided on the bracket.
[0019] Secondly, the present invention provides an integrated stove, including the aforementioned oil cup.
[0020] This utility model has at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0021] The oil cup provided by this utility model includes: a bracket and a cup body. The cup body and the bracket are connected by a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction of the oil cup. The two parts of the cup body located on both sides of the rotating shaft have the same weight, so that the cup body can maintain a horizontal state after the bracket rotates around the rotating shaft relative to the cup body.
[0022] During the insertion and removal of the oil cup, the user is in contact with the bracket.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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 this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the oil cup provided by this utility model includes: a support 1 and a cup body 2. The cup body 2 is connected to the support 1 by a rotating shaft 3, which is perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction of the oil cup. For ease of explanation, it is assumed that in this solution, the rotating shaft 3 extends in the left-right direction, and the insertion and removal direction is the front-back direction.
[0039] The two parts of the cup body 2 located on both sides of the rotating shaft 3, namely the front part and the rear part of the rotating shaft 3, have the same weight, thus maintaining the balance of the cup body 2.
[0040] The oil cup is typically inserted into a slot on the integrated stove body. When removing it, the user pulls the oil cup forward, contacting bracket 1. Therefore, the user's hand movement is directly transmitted to bracket 1, which may cause bracket 1 to tilt in the insertion and removal direction. For example, during the pulling process, the user's hand exerts an upward pulling force, causing bracket 1 to tilt upward. Bracket 1 and cup body 2 are connected by a pivot 3, and cup body 2 is always kept horizontal due to gravity to prevent oil spillage.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support 1 includes a frame, with a hollow area 11 enclosed in the middle. The cup 2 is located within the hollow area 11. A pivot 3 is installed on both the left and right walls of the cup 2, and a bearing 12 is installed on the support 1. The pivot 3 is connected to the bearing 12 to reduce friction, thus allowing for smoother relative movement between the support 1 and the cup 2. The support 1 surrounding the cup 2 also serves to protect the cup 2, preventing it from directly colliding with other components when handling the oil cup.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the cup body 2 has a roughly rectangular box-like structure. The cup body 2 includes a first inner wall 21, a second inner wall 22, a third inner wall 23, and a fourth inner wall 24 connected sequentially along its circumference. The first inner wall 21 and the third inner wall 23 are parallel, and the second inner wall 22 and the fourth inner wall 24 are parallel. The rotating shaft 3 is perpendicular to the first inner wall 21 and the third inner wall 23. In this embodiment, the first inner wall 21, the second inner wall 22, the third inner wall 23, and the fourth inner wall 24 correspond to the left, rear, right, and front sides, respectively.
[0043] First guide ribs 41 are provided on the first inner wall 21 and the second inner wall 22. The first guide ribs 41 extend from the first inner wall 21 to the second inner wall 22, and along the direction from the first inner wall 21 to the second inner wall 22, the first guide ribs 41 are inclined towards the opening of the cup body 2. When the oil cup shakes in the back-and-forth direction, the oil in the cup body 2 tends to splash upwards. When the splashed oil encounters the first guide ribs 41, it is blocked and flows down by the first guide ribs 41, and is guided towards the second inner wall 22, thereby relieving the force of the splashing oil. Similarly, second guide ribs 42 are provided on the third inner wall 23 and the fourth inner wall 24. The second guide ribs 42 extend from the third inner wall 23 to the fourth inner wall 24, and along the direction from the third inner wall 23 to the fourth inner wall 24, the second guide ribs 42 are inclined towards the opening of the cup body 2. The second guide rib 42 has the same function as the first guide rib 41, which is to guide the oil and relieve pressure, thus preventing oil spillage. The first guide rib 41 and the second guide rib 42 are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, along the direction from the first inner wall 21 toward the third inner wall 23, the second inner wall 22 is inclined in a direction away from the fourth inner wall 24; along the direction from the third inner wall 23 toward the first inner wall 21, the fourth inner wall 24 is inclined in a direction away from the second inner wall 22.
[0045] The second inner wall 22 is sloped. When oil spills from inside the cup 2 towards the second inner wall 22, the second inner wall 22 acts as a guide, directing the oil spill towards the third inner wall 23, preventing it from directly impacting the second inner wall 22 and splashing upwards. Similarly, the splash-proof design of the fourth inner wall 24 is consistent with that of the second inner wall. The second inner wall 22 and the fourth inner wall 24 are also designed in a centrally symmetrical manner.
[0046] In summary, by setting the first guide rib 41, the second guide rib 42, the inclined second inner wall 22, and the inclined fourth inner wall 24, oil splashing can be reduced, and the oil moving in the front-back direction is guided into circumferential rotational motion, avoiding direct impact with the inner wall of the cup body 2 and splashing.
[0047] Among the four inner walls 21, 22, 23 and 24, the joints between the two are rounded, so that the resistance is smaller when oil flows between two adjacent inner walls.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom surface of the cup body 2 includes a first inclined surface 25 located on one side of the rotating shaft 3 and a second inclined surface 26 located on the other side of the rotating shaft 3. From top to bottom, the distance between the first inclined surface 25 and the second inclined surface 26 gradually decreases.
[0049] The bottom of the cup body 2 is symmetrically arranged, with the two sides higher and the middle lower, which can collect oil in the middle of the cup body 2. On the one hand, it concentrates the oil, which makes it easier for impurities in the oil to settle and easy to clean. On the other hand, it concentrates the weight of the oil collection cup in the middle, maintaining the overall balance of the cup body 2.
[0050] In another feasible solution, the support 1 is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part, which are located on opposite sides of the rotating shaft 3 and are symmetrically arranged. The first limiting part is located below one end of the cup body 2, and the second limiting part is located below the other end of the cup body 2, in order to prevent the cup body 2 from rotating relative to the support 1 beyond a preset angle.
[0051] In other words, the first and second limiting parts are designed to prevent the cup body 2 from rotating too much relative to the support 1. Normally, when a user picks up the support 1, they won't intentionally rotate it at a large angle; it will only tilt slightly due to inattention. Therefore, relative rotation is only required within a certain preset angle, such as within 20°. If the oil inside the cup body 2 is unevenly distributed due to accident, causing the cup body 2 to tilt due to gravity, the first and second limiting parts can prevent it from tilting at a larger angle, thus preventing the oil inside the cup body 2 from completely spilling out (complete spillage would occur after the cup body 2 rotates 180° relative to the support 1).
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, a handle 13 is provided on the bracket 1, through which the user pushes and pulls the oil cup.
[0053] The integrated stove provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned oil cup. Because the integrated stove provided by this utility model uses the aforementioned oil cup, it also possesses the advantages of an oil cup.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
