[0094] The rotation limiting assembly 18 includes a first limiting member 20 and a second limiting member 21 arranged at left and right intervals, and the ball core 10 is located between the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21;
[0095] Both the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21 are provided with an arc-shaped groove 22 that is adapted to the spherical surface of the ball core 10;

[0102] By setting up a first gas passage 2, a second gas passage 3, and an ignition passage 4, the versatility of the gas valve's flame control function is significantly enhanced. The first gas passage 2 serves as the low-flame passage for the gas stove, allowing users to consistently obtain a suitable low flame when cooking dishes requiring slow simmering or precise heat control, such as soups or fried eggs. The second gas passage 3, in conjunction with the first gas passage 2, forms the high-flame passage, providing strong heat for cooking scenarios requiring high heat, such as stir-frying, to quickly cook ingredients. The ignition passage 4 is used to introduce gas to the ignition needle assembly 15 during the gas valve ignition process.
[0103] The ignition needle assembly 15 is a prior art structure and will not be discussed in detail here.
[0104] The first gas passage 2 is vertically arranged on the valve body 1;
[0105] A ventilation branch 25 extends from one side of the second gas passage 3. A ventilation component 26 is provided at one end of the ventilation branch 25.

[0106] The valve body 1 is also provided with:
[0107] Ball valve core assembly 5, which is rotatably mounted on valve body 1 and used to switch the opening and closing of ignition channel 4, first gas passage 2 and second gas passage 3;
[0108] The ball valve core assembly 5 is provided with:
[0109] The slot 9 is used to connect the first gas passage 2 and to adjust the air intake of the first gas passage 2. The width of the slot 9 gradually increases along the ball valve core assembly 5 in the direction of opening the first gas passage 2.
[0110] The groove 9 is located on the ball valve core assembly 5 and is used to connect the first gas passage 2 and regulate the air intake of the first gas passage 2. The width of the groove 9 gradually increases along the ball valve core assembly 5 towards opening the first gas passage 2. This unique design allows users to achieve stepless adjustment when adjusting the low heat. The wider the groove 9, the greater the air intake. According to actual cooking needs, the air intake of the first gas passage 2 can be controlled to achieve low heat adjustment. Whether it is stewing with very low heat or simmering with slightly higher heat, the gas flow can be precisely controlled by rotating the ball valve core assembly 5 and utilizing the change of the groove 9 to achieve the ideal low heat state.
[0111] The ball valve core assembly 5 is provided with:
[0112] The intake transition channel 6 is used to connect the first gas passage 2, and the ball valve core assembly 5 switches the connection between the intake transition channel 6 and the first gas passage 2 by rotation.
[0113] Ventilation slot 7 is used to connect the intake gradual channel 6 and the second gas passage 3, and the ball valve core assembly 5 switches the connection and disconnection between the ventilation slot 7 and the second gas passage 3 by rotation.
[0114] The sealing spherical surface 8 is used to disconnect the connection between the first gas passage 2 and the intake transition channel 6, and to disconnect the connection between the second gas passage 3 and the ventilation slot 7.
[0115] The ball valve core assembly 5 can be rotated to open the first gas passage 2 alone or to open the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3 simultaneously.
[0116] The ball valve core assembly 5 features an intake gradient channel 6, a vent slot 7, and a sealing spherical surface 8. These components work together to provide the gas valve with efficient and reliable channel on / off control. The intake gradient channel 6 connects to the first gas passage 2. Rotation of the ball valve core assembly 5 allows for easy switching between the intake gradient channel 6 and the first gas passage 2, enabling control over the opening and closing of the slack fire channel. The vent slot 7 connects to the second gas passage 3. Similarly, rotation of the ball valve core assembly 5 switches between the vent slot 7 and the second gas passage 3, allowing for flexible control of the high-heat channel. When high-heat stir-frying is needed, rotating the ball valve core assembly 5 connects the vent slot 7 to the second gas passage 3, quickly providing a powerful flame; when not needed, the flame can be cut off promptly, making operation convenient and efficient. The sealing spherical surface 8 is used to disconnect the connection between the first gas passage 2 and the intake gradient channel 6, as well as to disconnect the connection between the second gas passage 3 and the ventilation slot 7. Moreover, the ball valve core assembly 5 can open the first gas passage 2 alone or open the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3 simultaneously by rotation, providing users with a variety of firepower options. Whether it is cooking with a single low flame or cooking with a combination of high and low flames, it can easily meet the needs, greatly enriching the cooking scenarios and improving the practicality and user experience of the gas valve.
[0117] The ball valve core assembly 5 includes a rotating ball core 10, the ball core 10 being provided with:
[0118] Internal channel 11, which runs vertically through the sphere core 10;
[0119] Vent 12, the vent 12 is disposed on the side of the ball core 10 and communicates with the internal channel 11;
[0120] Ventilation groove 13, the ventilation groove 13 and the ventilation hole 12 are arranged opposite to each other in the ball core 10, and the ventilation hole 12 and the ventilation groove 13 are arranged vertically at intervals;
[0121] The slot 9 is provided on the side of the ball core 10, and one end of the slot 9 extends to the vent 12.
[0122] The slot 9, the vent 12 and the internal channel 11 form an intake gradient channel 6 for connecting the first gas passage 2;
[0123] The vent 12, the internal channel 11, and the vent groove 13 form a vent slot 7 for connecting the second gas passage 3.
[0124] The spherical core 10 has an internal channel 11 that runs vertically through the core, providing a smooth flow of gas within it. A vent 12 is located on the side of the core 10 and connects to the internal channel 11. A vent groove 13, positioned opposite the vent 12 and spaced vertically, together forms the gas flow path within the core 10. A slot 9 is located on the side of the core 10, extending to the vent 12 at one end. The slot 9, along with the vent 12 and the internal channel 11, forms an intake gradient channel 6 connecting to the first gas passage 2, enabling gas flow in the small fire passage. Simultaneously, the vent 12, the internal channel 11, and the vent groove 13 form a venting slot 7 connecting to the second gas passage 3, ensuring gas transmission in the large fire passage. This unique structural design allows for orderly gas flow within the core 10, ensuring stable gas supply to the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3 under different operating conditions. In practical use, when a low flame is needed, the gas enters the internal channel 11 through the slot 9 and vent 12, and then flows to the first gas passage 2 to achieve a low flame output. When a high flame is needed, the gas not only enters the first gas passage 2 through the intake gradient channel 6, but also enters the second gas passage 3 through the vent 12, internal channel 11, and vent groove 13 to form a high flame. This structural design of the spherical core 10 not only optimizes the gas flow path and improves gas transmission efficiency, but also ensures that the gas supply between different channels does not interfere with each other, providing users with stable, reliable, and diverse flame options, effectively improving the performance of the gas valve and the user's cooking experience.
[0125] The valve body 1 is provided with:
[0126] The air intake passage 14 is used to introduce gas when it is open, and to cut off the entry of gas when it is closed.
[0127] The outer side of the ball core 10 is provided with a sealing spherical surface 8. The sealing spherical surface 8 switches the connection and disconnection between the air intake gradual channel 6 and the first gas passage 2, and switches the connection and disconnection between the air passage slot 7 and the second gas passage 3 as the ball core 10 rotates.
[0128] The vent 12 passes through one side of the sealing spherical surface 8 and is connected to the internal channel 11, and the vent groove 13 opposite to the vent 12 passes through the other side of the sealing spherical surface 8 and is connected to the internal channel 11.
[0129] In the initial state, the sealing spherical surface 8 seals the air inlet channel 14 at the air outlet.
[0130] When the sealing spherical surface 8 is separated from the outlet end of the air intake channel 14 as the ball core 10 rotates, and the ball valve core assembly 5 rotates to the point where the air intake channel 14 corresponds to the front section of the slot 9, and the sealing spherical surface 8 is still in the state of disconnecting the vent slot 7 and the second gas passage 3, the first gas passage 2 is opened separately, and the gas enters the first gas passage 2 through the air intake channel 14, slot 9, vent hole 12 and internal channel 11;
[0131] When the ball valve core assembly 5 rotates to the point where the vent hole 12 at the end of the slot 9 corresponds to the air intake channel 14, the gas flows from the air intake transition channel 6 to the first gas passage 2, and the gas enters the second gas passage 3 from the vent hole 12, the internal channel 11 and the vent groove 13, so as to open the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3 at the same time.
[0132] The air intake channel 14 on the valve body 1 cooperates with the sealing spherical surface 8 on the outer side of the ball core 10, providing a strong guarantee for the safety and precise control of the gas valve. The air intake channel 14 is used to introduce gas when open and to cut off gas intake when closed. The sealing spherical surface 8 on the outer side of the ball core 10 rotates with the ball core 10, enabling precise switching between the gradual air intake channel 6 and the first gas passage 2, as well as between the air passage 7 and the second gas passage 3.
[0133] In this technical solution, in the initial state, the sealing spherical surface 8 seals the outlet end of the air inlet channel 14, preventing gas from entering the gas valve and effectively preventing gas leakage, thus ensuring user safety. When the sealing spherical surface 8 rotates away from the outlet end of the air inlet channel 14 with the ball core 10, and the ball valve core assembly 5 rotates to correspond with the front section of the air inlet channel 14 and the slot 9, the first gas passage 2 is opened separately. Gas enters the first gas passage 2 through the air inlet channel 14, the slot 9, the vent hole 12, and the internal channel 11, achieving a small flame supply. As the ball valve core assembly 5 further rotates until the vent hole 12 at the end of the slot 9 corresponds with the air inlet channel 14, gas not only flows from the air inlet transition channel 6 to the first gas passage 2, but also enters the second gas passage 3 through the vent hole 12, the internal channel 11, and the vent groove 13, simultaneously opening the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3, achieving a large flame supply. This control method allows users to control the on / off and flow of gas according to their cooking needs, enabling them to switch between different heat levels. This not only improves the convenience and precision of cooking but also ensures the safety of gas usage, providing users with a safe and efficient user experience.
[0134] The rotation limiting component 18 and the venting chamber 19 provided on the valve body 1 precisely limit and stably support the rotation of the ball core 10, improving the reliability and stability of the gas valve. The rotation limiting component 18 is used to limit the rotation of the ball core 10, ensuring that the ball core 10 can accurately stop at the corresponding angle position during rotation, realizing the opening and closing of different gas passages and the firepower adjustment of the first gas passage 2. The venting chamber 19 is used to install the rotation limiting component 18 and the limiting ball core 10, and the upper and lower ends of the venting chamber 19 are connected, with the upper end connected to the first gas passage 2 (it can be understood that the upper end of the venting chamber 19 is used to install gas valve accessories with the first gas passage 2). The rotation limiting component 18 includes a first limiting member 20 and a second limiting member 21, with the ball core 10 located between the two, respectively arranged at left and right intervals in the venting chamber 19, and both limiting members are provided with arc-shaped grooves 22 that are adapted to the spherical surface of the ball core 10. This design allows the ball core 10 to be stably constrained by the arc-shaped groove 22 during rotation, preventing wobbling or displacement.
[0135] The structural design of the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21, and their cooperation with the ball core 10 and the gas passage, further optimize the control accuracy and stability of the gas valve. The first limiting member 20 is correspondingly set with the air intake passage 14, and has a first through hole 23 coaxially connected to the outlet end of the air intake passage 14. The sealing ball surface 8 seals the first through hole 23 and seals the outlet end of the air intake passage 14. At this time, the first gas passage 2, the second gas passage 3 and the ignition passage 4 are in a closed state, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring safe use. When the first through hole 23 corresponds to the front section of the slot 9, the first gas passage 2 is opened separately to achieve small flame supply. Since the outer diameter of the first through hole 23 is larger than the width of the slot 9, during the correspondence between the two, it can ensure that the gas flows accurately into the slot 9. When the ball core 10 rotates, the width of the slot 9 gradually changes, so the gas flow rate of the small flame passage can be controlled. When the first perforation 23 aligns with the vent 12 at the end of the groove 9, the first gas passage 2 and the second gas passage 3 are simultaneously opened, providing high-heat supply and precisely meeting the user's heat requirements at different cooking stages. The second limiting member 21 is provided with a second perforation 24 for connecting the second gas passage 3. When the vent groove 13 and the second perforation 24 are misaligned, the second gas passage 3 is in a closed state; when connected, the second gas passage 3 is in an open state. The outer diameter of the second perforation 24 is larger than the groove width of the vent groove 13, and one end of the vent groove 13 extends upward toward the second perforation 24 and is located on the inner side of the ball core 10. This design allows for precise control of the connection and disconnection between the vent groove 13 and the second perforation 24 during the rotation of the ball core 10, avoiding gas leakage or accidental opening of passages due to unreasonable structural design. The first perforation 23 and the second perforation 24 are coaxially arranged, further ensuring precise and orderly switching between the gas passages during the rotation of the ball core 10, effectively improving the control accuracy and stability of the gas valve, and providing users with a reliable cooking heat adjustment experience.
[0136] The valve body 1 is provided with:
[0137] A switching valve 16 is used to open and close the input end of the air intake channel 14. A trigger assembly 17 is provided between the switching valve 16 and the ball valve core assembly 5. The ball valve core assembly 5 drives the switching valve 16 to open the air intake channel 14 through the trigger assembly 17.
[0138] The ball valve core assembly 5 includes a main shaft 31 movably mounted on the valve body 1. The main shaft 31 has elastic axial movement and circumferential rotation.
[0139] The trigger assembly 17 includes a swing block 29 rotatably disposed in the valve body 1, a rod 30 axially movable in the valve body 1, and a connecting block 32 mounted on the main shaft 31;
[0140] When the main shaft 31 makes an elastic axial movement, the connecting block 32 acts on the rod 30 to drive the rod 30 to trigger the rotation of the swing block 29. The rotation of the swing block 29 acts on the switching valve 16, thereby opening the input end of the air intake channel 14.
[0141] The ball valve core assembly 5 also includes a valve sleeve 33, the lower part of which is connected to the main shaft 31, and the upper part of which is connected to the ball core 10.
[0142] The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a plug end 34, and the ball core 10 is provided with a retaining groove 35 for limiting insertion into the plug end 34;
[0143] The lower part of the valve sleeve 33 is provided with an inner cavity 36 for inserting the main shaft 31. The lower outer side of the valve sleeve 33 is provided with a first spring 37. The first end of the first spring 37 abuts against the outer side of the valve sleeve 33, and the second end of the first spring 37 abuts against the connecting block 32, so that the main shaft 31 can move elastically axially.
[0144] The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a positioning block 38 acting on the first spring 37 on its outer side;
[0145] A non-rotational structure is provided between the main shaft 31 and the lower inner cavity 36 of the valve sleeve 33 to prevent them from rotating relative to each other, so that the valve sleeve 33 and the ball core 10 rotate synchronously with the main shaft 31.
[0146] The coordinated operation of the switching valve 16, trigger assembly 17, and ball valve core assembly 5 mounted on the valve body 1 provides strong support for the ease of operation and safety of the gas valve. The switching valve 16 is a solenoid valve used to open and close the input end of the air intake channel 14. The trigger assembly 17 is located between the switching valve 16 and the ball valve core assembly 5. The ball valve core assembly 5 drives the switching valve 16 to open the air intake channel 14 via the trigger assembly 17. This design allows the user to control the opening of the switching valve 16 by simply pressing the ball valve core assembly 5 when operating the gas valve, via the trigger assembly 17. The ball valve core assembly 5 includes a main shaft 31 movably mounted on the valve body 1, which has elastic axial movement and circumferential rotation. The trigger assembly 17 includes a swing block 29 rotatably mounted within the valve body 1, a rod 30 axially movable within the valve body 1, and a connecting block 32 mounted on the main shaft 31. When the main shaft 31 moves elastically in the axial direction, the connecting block 32 acts on the rod 30, driving the rod 30 to trigger the swing block 29 to rotate. The rotation of the swing block 29 acts on the switching valve 16, thereby opening the input end of the air intake channel 14. The entire triggering process is rapid and reliable. The ball valve core assembly 5 also includes a valve sleeve 33. The lower part of the valve sleeve 33 is connected to the main shaft 31, and the upper part of the valve sleeve 33 is connected to the ball core 10. The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a plug-in end 34, and the ball core 10 is provided with a retaining groove 35 for limiting the insertion of the plug-in end 34. This connection method ensures stable transmission between the ball core 10 and the main shaft 31, enabling the ball core 10 to accurately respond to the rotation of the main shaft 31. The lower part of the valve sleeve 33 is inserted into the inner cavity 36 of the main shaft 31, and a first spring 37 is provided on the outer side. The first end of the first spring 37 abuts against the outer side of the valve sleeve 33, and the second end of the first spring 37 abuts against the connecting block 32, causing the main shaft 31 to move elastically in the axial direction. The first spring 37 can be used to reset the main shaft 31, causing the trigger assembly 17 to reset after ignition and re-close the ignition channel 4. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the thermocouple. When the gas stove is in flame combustion mode, the solenoid valve remains energized, so the ignition channel 4 is closed after the gas valve is opened. A positioning block 38 is provided on the outside of the valve sleeve 33, which acts on the first spring 37 to limit the position of the first spring 37 and ensure the stability of the spring's operation. An anti-rotation structure is provided between the main shaft 31 and the lower inner cavity 36 of the valve sleeve 33 to prevent relative rotation between the two, so that the valve sleeve 33 and the ball core 10 rotate synchronously with the main shaft 31, ensuring the coordination and accuracy of the actions of the various components of the gas valve.
[0147] The valve body 1 is also provided with:
[0148] Assembly cavity 39, which is used to install valve sleeve 33, the lower end of vent cavity 19 is connected to assembly cavity 39, and the side of assembly cavity 39 is connected to vent hole 40 of ignition channel 4.
[0149] The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a movable rod 41 that can move axially with elasticity, and an air intake gap 42 is provided between the valve sleeve 33 and the movable rod 41 for connecting the internal channel 11 of the ball core 10.
[0150] In the initial state, the movable rod 41 closes the input end of the air intake gap 42. During the elastic axial movement of the main shaft 31 toward the movable rod 41, the movable rod 41 is triggered to move axially and open the input end of the air intake gap 42. When the ball core 10 rotates to correspond to the front section of the slot 9, the gas flows through the gas slot 9 of the ball core 10, the internal channel 11 and the air intake gap 42 of the valve sleeve 33 to the vent hole 40 and the ignition channel 4.
[0151] The valve sleeve 33 is provided with an opening 43 for connecting the air inlet gap 42 and the vent hole 40, and the outer side of the valve sleeve 33 is provided with a sealing element 44 for abutting against the inner wall of the assembly cavity 39.
[0152] The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a positioning step 45 corresponding to the input end of the air intake gap 42. The upper end of the movable rod 41 is provided with a sealing ring 46 that is positioned on the positioning step 45 in the initial state to seal the input end of the air intake gap 42.
[0153] The movable rod 41 is provided with a sealing sleeve 47 for sealing the mating gap between the valve sleeve 33 and the movable rod 41. The sealing sleeve 47 is located below the opening 43. The movable rod 41 is provided with a first positioning pad 48 located below the sealing sleeve 47, a second spring 49 located below the first positioning pad 48, and a second positioning pad 50 located below the second spring 49. The second spring 49 is located between the first positioning pad 48 and the second positioning pad 50. When the movable rod 41 is triggered to move axially by the main shaft 31, the second spring 49 is in a compressed state to open the ignition channel 4. After the second spring 49 is reset, the sealing ring 46 re-seals the input end of the air intake gap 42, and the ignition channel 4 is closed.
[0154] The assembly cavity 39 on the valve body 1, along with the structural design of the valve sleeve 33 and the movable rod 41, provides significant advantages for precise control of the ignition channel 4 and overall performance improvement of the gas valve. The assembly cavity 39 is used to install the valve sleeve 33. The lower end of the vent cavity 19 connects to the assembly cavity 39, facilitating the assembly of the ball core and the valve sleeve. The side of the assembly cavity 39 connects to the vent hole 40 of the ignition channel 4. The valve sleeve 33 contains a movable rod 41 with elastic axial movement. An air inlet gap 42 is provided between the valve sleeve 33 and the movable rod 41 to connect to the internal channel 11 of the ball core 10. In the initial state, the movable rod 41 closes the input end of the air inlet gap 42, at which point the ignition channel 4 is closed, effectively preventing gas leakage. When the main shaft 31 moves elastically towards the movable rod 41, it triggers the movable rod 41 to move axially and open the input end of the air intake gap 42. When the ball core 10 rotates to correspond to the front section of the slot 9, the gas flows through the slot 9 of the ball core 10, the internal channel 11, and the air intake gap 42 of the valve sleeve 33 to the vent hole 40 and the ignition channel 4, thus opening the ignition channel 4 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the gas supply during ignition. The valve sleeve 33 is provided with an opening 43 for connecting the air intake gap 42 and the vent hole 40. The outer side of the valve sleeve 33 is provided with a sealing element 44 for abutting against the inner wall of the assembly cavity 39, ensuring the sealing of the gas during the flow of gas in the valve sleeve 33 and preventing gas leakage. The valve sleeve 33 is provided with a positioning step 45 corresponding to the input end of the air intake gap 42. The upper end of the movable rod 41 is provided with a sealing ring 46 that is positioned on the positioning step 45 in the initial state to seal the input end of the air intake gap 42, further improving the sealing performance when the ignition channel 4 is closed. The movable rod 41 is equipped with a sealing sleeve 47, located below the opening 43, to seal the gap between the valve sleeve 33 and the movable rod 41, preventing gas leakage at the end of the movable rod 41 and the valve sleeve 33. The movable rod 41 also has a first positioning washer 48, a second spring 49, and a second positioning washer 50, with the second spring 49 located between the first positioning washer 48 and the second positioning washer 50. When the movable rod 41 is triggered to move axially by the main shaft 31, the second spring 49 is compressed, opening the ignition channel 4; after the second spring 49 returns to its original position, the sealing ring 46 re-seals the input end of the air intake gap 42, closing the ignition channel 4. This design allows for precise control of the opening and closing of the ignition channel 4, ensuring smooth ignition and improving the safety of the gas valve in non-ignition states, effectively enhancing the overall performance of the gas valve and the user experience.
[0155] The valve sleeve 33 has a limiting step corresponding to the sealing sleeve 47. The sealing sleeve 47 is axially limited between the limiting step and the first positioning washer 48. The second positioning washer 50 can be fixedly welded to the movable rod 41, or the movable rod 41 is provided with a retaining ring to prevent the second positioning washer 50 from axially disengaging from the movable rod 41. The movable rod 41 is provided with a groove for installing the retaining ring.
[0156] A positioning piece is provided on the outer side of the valve sleeve 33 to abut against the first spring 37.
[0157] The valve body 1 is provided with a small opening for connecting the air intake passage 14, corresponding to the switch valve 16.
