Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils, and in particular to a stove. Background Technology

[0002] Lateral shift of the glass panel in a gas stove can cause the drip tray to scratch the glass panel, resulting in minor product defects. Currently, in the production and transportation of gas stoves, the main solutions to prevent lateral shift between the glass panel and the chassis include double-sided tape fixing (adhesive is applied between the chassis and the glass panel to limit relative displacement through viscous friction), screw pressing structure (the drip tray and positioning ring are locked together by burner screws, and the glass panel is horizontally and vertically limited by a waterproof ring and installation platform), adhesive auxiliary tooling (adhesive is used to fill the gap between the glass panel and the chassis, forming a cured layer after curing), and limiting the chassis skirt by attaching glass panel gaskets to prevent lateral shift. However, most existing technologies rely on adhesives and do not introduce independent mechanical limiting structures, or the limiting structures do not achieve the desired limiting effect.

[0003] This results in the following defects:

[0004] 1. Difficult to repair: When a small amount of double-sided tape is used, the glass panel will shift to the side. When a large amount of double-sided tape is used, it is difficult for service technicians to open the glass panel when repairing the stove. The repairman needs to forcibly remove the glass panel, which can easily cause secondary damage.

[0005] 2. Poor versatility: Existing anti-lateral displacement solutions are ineffective. A solution may be effective in preventing lateral displacement for a certain product, but lateral displacement still exists for other products, causing the liquid tray to scratch the glass panel.

[0006] 3. High cost: Most existing solutions use glass panel spacers and double-sided tape to limit the glass panel, and the glass panel spacers have a large area and low raw material utilization efficiency, resulting in cost waste. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to prevent the cooktop panel from shifting laterally relative to the chassis, and a cooktop is provided for this purpose.

[0008] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0009] A cooktop includes: a panel, a base, and a stop valve fixed to the base;

[0010] The stove also includes a limiting component, which is sleeved and fixed to the valve stem of the plug valve. The panel has an assembly hole through which the valve stem of the plug valve passes. The limiting component is disposed in the assembly hole, and a predetermined gap is left between the outer peripheral surface of the limiting component and the inner wall of the assembly hole.

[0011] In this design, a limiting component is fitted onto the valve stem of the stove. If the panel shifts relative to the chassis, the limiting component can abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby preventing excessive shift between the panel and the chassis and thus avoiding long scratches on the panel.

[0012] Preferably, the predetermined gap is less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0013] In this solution, when the predetermined gap is less than or equal to 1 mm, the offset between the panel and the chassis will not exceed 3 mm. Therefore, even if the liquid tray causes scratches on the panel due to the offset between the panel and the chassis, the length of the scratches will not exceed 3 mm, and will not affect the user's appearance.

[0014] Preferably, the center of the limiting member is provided with a through hole adapted to the valve stem, and the valve stem is inserted into the through hole.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting member is provided with a liquid-holding groove, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the limiting member.

[0016] In this design, the limiting component is equipped with a liquid collection tank to collect liquid that falls into the assembly hole of the panel, preventing the liquid from falling directly onto the valve body of the plug valve and corroding the valve body.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting member is a cylindrical member.

[0018] Preferably, the stove further includes a positioning member, which is fixed to the panel. The positioning member includes an insertion part, and the skirt of the chassis is provided with a socket, into which the insertion part is inserted.

[0019] Preferably, the socket is formed as a V-shaped hole, and the insertion part is adapted to the shape of the socket.

[0020] Preferably, the positioning member is a T-shaped member, and the insertion part protrudes towards the center of the stove along the extension direction of the panel.

[0021] Preferably, the chassis has a first side near the plug valve and a second side opposite to the first side;

[0022] The positioning element is positioned close to the second side.

[0023] In this design, the stove has a limiting component on the first side near the stopcock valve and a positioning component on the second side, thus forming a double-sided positioning system and improving the anti-lateral displacement effect.

[0024] Preferably, the edge of the panel is provided with a limiting strip, and the positioning member is attached to the limiting strip.

[0025] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows: a limiting component is sleeved on the valve stem of the stove. If the panel is offset relative to the chassis, the limiting component can abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby avoiding excessive offset between the panel and the chassis, which would result in longer scratches on the panel.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a stove 100, one example of which is a gas stove using bottled or piped natural gas. The stove 100 can be a multi-burner stove or a single-burner stove 100; this embodiment uses a dual-burner stove 100 as an example. The stove 100 includes a panel 120, a base 130 connected below the panel 120, a burner mounted on the base 130, and a pot support surrounding the burner. The base 130 of the stove 100 may contain an ejector system connected to the burner (in some embodiments, the ejector system may be defined as part of the burner) and a control system for controlling the burner's ignition, timing, flame size, etc.

[0034] The cooktop 100 can be a smart appliance equipped with a smart voice control module or a smart gesture sensing control module. The smart voice control module includes a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, which are then parsed by the voice parsing module. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the cooktop 100's gas intake valve, ignition switch, and other functions to perform corresponding operations, thereby achieving intelligent control of the cooktop 100's firepower and ignition / extinguishing mechanism, improving the user experience of using this smart appliance. The smart gesture sensing control module includes a controller, a motion detection module, and a motion parsing module. The motion detection module detects the user's gestures, which are then parsed by the motion parsing module. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the cooktop 100's gas intake valve, ignition switch, and other functions to perform corresponding operations, thereby achieving intelligent control of the cooktop 100's firepower and ignition / extinguishing mechanism, improving the user experience of using this smart appliance.

[0035] The cooktop 100 includes: a panel 120, a base 130, and a stop valve 110 fixed to the base 130.

[0036] The stove 100 also includes a limiting member 150, which is sleeved and fixed to the valve stem 111 of the plug valve 110. The panel 120 has an assembly hole 121 through which the valve stem 111 of the plug valve 110 passes. The limiting member 150 is disposed in the assembly hole 121, and a predetermined gap is left between the outer peripheral surface of the limiting member 150 and the inner wall of the assembly hole 121.

[0037] A limiting member 150 is fitted on the valve stem 111 of the stove 100. If the panel 120 is offset relative to the chassis 130, the limiting member 150 can abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 121, thereby preventing excessive offset between the panel 120 and the chassis 130, which would result in longer scratches on the panel 120.

[0038] In this embodiment, panel 120 is a glass panel. However, this invention is not limited to this; the structure of this invention can also be applied to stainless steel panels, etc.

[0039] The plug valve 110 is fixed to the bottom surface of the chassis 130 by bolts or other threaded components. The valve stem 111 of the plug valve 110 is connected to the knob 160. The user can turn the knob 160 to switch the flame on and off and adjust the flame intensity.

[0040] Preferably, the predetermined gap is less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0041] When the predetermined gap is less than or equal to 1 mm, the offset between the panel 120 and the chassis 130 will not exceed 3 mm. Therefore, even if the liquid tray produces scratches on the panel 120 due to the offset between the panel 120 and the chassis 130, the length of the scratches will not exceed 3 mm and will not affect the user's perception.

[0042] The center of the limiting member 150 is provided with a through hole 151 that is adapted to the valve stem 111, and the valve stem 111 is inserted into the through hole 151.

[0043] The bottom of the limiting member 150 is provided with a liquid holding tank 152, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the limiting member 150.

[0044] The limiting member 150 is provided with a liquid collection tank 152, which is used to collect liquid that falls into the mounting hole 121 of the panel 120, and to prevent the liquid from falling directly onto the valve body of the plug valve 110 and corroding the valve body.

[0045] The limiting member 150 is a cylindrical member. Here, the cylindrical member is not a standard cylinder, but refers to the fact that its main part is formed as a cylinder. It should be understood that the limiting member 150 is not a standard cylinder because it includes the liquid holding tank 152.

[0046] The cooktop 100 also includes a positioning member 140, which is fixed to the panel 120. The positioning member 140 includes an insertion part 141. The skirt 131 of the chassis 130 is provided with a socket, and the insertion part 141 is inserted into the socket.

[0047] The socket is formed as a V-shaped hole, and the insertion part 141 is adapted to the shape of the socket.

[0048] The positioning member 140 is a T-shaped member, and the insertion part 141 protrudes towards the center of the stove 100 along the extension direction of the panel 120.

[0049] The chassis 130 has a first side 127 near the plug valve 110 and a second side 128 opposite to the first side 127; the positioning member 140 is disposed near the second side 128.

[0050] The cooktop 100 has a limiting member 150 on the first side 127 near the stopcock valve 110, and a positioning member 140 on the second side 128, thus forming a double-sided positioning and improving the anti-lateral displacement effect.

[0051] A limit strip 125 is provided on the edge of the panel 120, and the positioning piece 140 is attached to the limit strip 125.

[0052] A limiting strip 125 is provided on the edge of the panel 120, and the height of the limiting protrusion is lower than the height of the limiting strip 125 extending beyond the lower surface of the panel 120. The limiting strip 125 may be a silicone strip adhered to the lower edge of the panel 120 or a protective sleeve structure covering the edge of the panel 120, etc.

[0053] The height of the limiting protrusion is lower than the height of the limiting strip 125 extending beyond the lower surface of the panel 120, facilitating the transportation of the cooktop 100 without affecting the countertop clearance. When the cooktop 100 is installed on the kitchen countertop, the countertop will only contact the limiting strip 125 and not the limiting protrusion, avoiding any impact on the limiting effect of the limiting structure during installation.

[0054] In this embodiment, a limiting strip 125 is provided on the edge of the panel 120. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the limiting strip 125 is not provided on the edge of the panel 120, the positioning member 140 can be directly pasted onto the lower surface of the panel 120.
