Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas stoves, and in particular to a burner cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During long-term use, stoves often experience malfunctions such as flameout, poor flame transmission, and ignition failure. These malfunctions not only significantly reduce cooking efficiency but may also pose safety hazards. Among these problems, overflowing pots and grease buildup clogging the burner vents are major contributing factors.

[0003] By systematically optimizing key technical parameters such as the geometry, material selection, and ventilation hole design of the burner cap, its anti-clogging performance can be effectively improved. However, this technical solution faces practical challenges such as increased production costs and extended development cycles. Therefore, developing an efficient burner cap cleaning auxiliary tool has significant practical value and real-world significance.

[0004] However, existing gas stove cleaning needles have certain design limitations. Their function primarily focuses on cleaning and maintaining the burner holes, while insufficiently considering the cleaning needs of the flame stabilizer groove. Due to the special structure and location of the flame stabilizer groove (usually a ring-shaped groove or strip-shaped channel), traditional straight-handle cleaning needles struggle to effectively reach every corner. In actual use, the flame stabilizer groove easily accumulates grease, food residue, and other impurities. These contaminants directly affect flame stability, leading to incomplete combustion, yellow flames, and other problems. Conventional cleaning needles, lacking a targeted cleaning structure, cannot thoroughly remove stubborn dirt from the groove or provide a comprehensive cleaning of the flame stabilizer groove. Long-term accumulation may affect the normal performance and lifespan of the stove. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new cleaning needle tools specifically designed for cleaning the flame stabilizer groove to improve the overall cleaning effect and maintenance convenience of gas stoves. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect that existing flame cap cleaning auxiliary tools cannot clean the flame cap stabilizing groove and other groove structures at the same time as cleaning the flame cap orifice, and to provide a flame cap cleaning mechanism.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0007] A flame cap cleaning mechanism includes a central portion, a needle portion, and a scraper portion. The surface of the central portion has a structure for a user to hold. The needle portion and the scraper portion are both connected to the central portion and extend outward in different directions to form a needle and a scraper at their ends. The scraper portion includes an arc-shaped end and a free end. The free end is a thin sheet structure and is configured to correspond to the size of the flame cap stabilizing groove. The arc-shaped end is connected to the free end on the side away from the central portion, and the arc-shaped opening of the arc-shaped end faces the same direction as the extension direction of the free end.

[0008] By setting up a needle-like part and a scraper-like part, the burner cap cleaning mechanism can handle the cleaning of the burner cap's flame holes and the cleaning of the flame stabilizing groove and the flame transmission groove, respectively. Moreover, the needle-like part and the scraper-like part extend in different directions on the center part, and the two do not affect each other.

[0009] Meanwhile, a free end corresponding to the size of the flame stabilizing groove on the burner cap is provided on the scraper section, allowing the scraper to penetrate deep into the flame stabilizing groove and collect dirt through the curved structure of the arc end. The arc structure of the arc end generates micro-vortices during cleaning, forming an air cushion effect to prevent dirt from adhering. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the arc, the dirt can be automatically detached after being scraped off, improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0010] Preferably, the arc-shaped end has a shark scale structure.

[0011] By setting the arc shape of the shark scale structure, the frictional resistance experienced by the free end and the arc end when cleaning the flame stabilizer groove can be reduced. When the scraper is pushed, micro-vortices are generated at the arc structure of the arc end, preventing dirt from adhering to the arc end. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the arc, the dirt is automatically detached, which facilitates the cleaning of the flame cap and the cleaning mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the scraper portion has at least one of the arc-shaped ends.

[0013] Preferably, a chamfered structure is provided at the connection between the free end and the arc-shaped end.

[0014] By setting a chamfer structure at the connection between the free end and the curved end, the dirt scraped off from the free end can be pushed to the curved end through the chamfer structure, preventing the dirt from staying in the strip grooves such as the flame stabilizer groove, and facilitating the collection of dirt.

[0015] Preferably, the arc-shaped end surface is coated with a hydrophobic coating.

[0016] By providing a hydrophobic coating on the surface of the arc-shaped end, dirt can be prevented from adhering to the arc-shaped end and causing contamination of the scraper, thus facilitating the cleaning of the flame cover cleaning mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the scraper portion further includes a connecting end, which is connected to the central portion, is adjacent to the arc-shaped end, and is opposite to the free end.

[0018] Preferably, the size of the needle portion corresponds to the size of the flame hole in the flame cap.

[0019] Preferably, the needle part further includes a first needle tip and a second needle tip, the first needle tip being configured to fit the larger aperture of the flame cap's flame hole, and the second needle tip being configured to fit the smaller aperture of the flame cap's flame hole; the first needle tip and the second needle tip are located on the same axis and face opposite directions.

[0020] By setting needle tips of different sizes on the needle part, the need for thorough cleaning of the flame holes of different diameter flame caps can be met.

[0021] Preferably, the central portion further includes a first connecting end and a second connecting end, the first connecting end being connected to the needle portion and the second connecting end being connected to the scraper portion.

[0022] Preferably, the plane containing the first connecting end is perpendicular to the plane containing the second connecting end.

[0023] Preferably, the material of the arc-shaped end is an elastic alloy.

[0024] By using an elastic alloy as the material for the arc-shaped end, the arc-shaped end can adapt to deformation when cleaning the openings of the flame stabilizer and other slots. Furthermore, the arc surface of the arc-shaped end will have a reversible adjustment effect with changes in pressure. When using the flame cap cleaning mechanism to scrape away dirt from the slot, the concentrated pressure will cause the scraper to deform, thereby increasing the contact area of ​​the arc-shaped structure of the arc-shaped end with the dirt and improving the dirt collection effect.

[0025] Preferably, the scraper portion is disposed on the central axis of the needle portion.

[0026] Preferably, the arc-shaped end is oriented toward the axis extending perpendicular to the gripping structure of the center portion.

[0027] By setting the arc-shaped end to extend along the axis perpendicular to the grip structure at the center, users can apply pressure more easily and conveniently when holding the flame cap cleaning mechanism to scrape away dirt, which helps to improve cleaning efficiency.

[0028] Preferably, the material thickness of the free end is in the range of 0.3mm to 0.5mm.

[0029] Preferably, the depth / spacing ratio of the arc-shaped end is in the range of 0.71 to 0.78.

[0030] Preferably, the included angle of the arc surface at the arc end is in the range of 35° to 55°.

[0031] Through the aforementioned material and structural features, the scraper section is designed to be suitable for cleaning the flame cap, reducing resistance caused by dirt during scraping, especially for cleaning special structures such as the flame stabilizer and flame transfer grooves, in order to achieve optimal cleaning results.

[0032] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0033] The burner cleaning mechanism is equipped with a needle and a scraper, which can handle the cleaning of the burner holes and the cleaning of the flame stabilizer and flame transmission grooves respectively. The needle and the scraper extend in different directions on the center and do not interfere with each other.

[0034] Meanwhile, a free end corresponding to the size of the flame stabilizing groove on the burner cap is provided on the scraper section, allowing the scraper to penetrate deep into the flame stabilizing groove and collect dirt through the curved structure of the arc end. The arc structure of the arc end generates micro-vortices during cleaning, forming an air cushion effect to prevent dirt from adhering. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the arc, the dirt can be automatically detached after being scraped off, improving cleaning efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.

[0053] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a flame cap cleaning mechanism 001, which includes a central part 1, a needle part 2, and a scraper part 3. The surface of the central part 1 has a structure for the user to hold. The needle part 2 and the scraper part 3 are both connected to the central part 1 and extend outward in different directions to form a needle and a scraper at the end. The scraper part 3 includes an arc-shaped end 31 and a free end 32. The free end 32 is a thin sheet structure and is set to correspond to the size of the flame cap stabilizing groove. The arc-shaped end 31 is connected to the free end 32 on the side away from the central part 1, and the arc-shaped opening of the arc end 31 is aligned with the extension direction of the free end 32.

[0054] The flame cap cleaning mechanism 001, by incorporating two needle-like parts 2 and a scraper part 3, allows the mechanism to clean the corresponding flame holes of the flame cap via the needle-like parts 2, and simultaneously clean the flame stabilizing grooves and flame transmission grooves of the flame cap via the scraper part 3. The scraper part 3 also features a free end 32 corresponding to the size of the flame stabilizing groove, enabling it to deeply clean the groove. The curved structure of the arc-shaped end 31 efficiently collects dirt. Furthermore, during cleaning, micro-vortices are generated on the arc-shaped end 31, creating an air cushion effect to prevent dirt adhesion. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the arc, dirt automatically detaches after being scraped (i.e., the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped end 31 pushes the dirt away from the flame cap, causing it to fall out during cleaning), improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0055] like Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the arc shape of the arc end 31 is specifically a shark scale structure, and the scraper part 3 has at least one arc end 31. A chamfer structure 33 is provided at the connection between the free end 32 and the arc end 31, and the surface of the arc end 31 is also coated with a hydrophobic coating. By setting the arc shape of the shark scale structure, the frictional resistance encountered by the free end 32 and the arc-shaped end 31 when cleaning the flame stabilizer groove can be reduced. When the scraper part 3 is pushed, micro-vortices are generated at the arc structure of the arc-shaped end 31 to prevent dirt from adhering to the arc-shaped end 31. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the arc, the dirt is automatically detached, which is convenient for cleaning the flame cap and the cleaning mechanism. In addition, by setting a chamfer structure 33 at the connection between the free end 32 and the arc-shaped end 31, the dirt scraped off by the free end 32 can be pushed to the arc-shaped end 31 through the chamfer structure 33, preventing the dirt from staying in the strip groove such as the flame stabilizer groove, which is convenient for the collection of dirt. By setting a hydrophobic coating on the surface of the arc-shaped end 31, dirt can be prevented from adhering to the arc-shaped end 31 and causing contamination of the scraper part 3, which is convenient for cleaning the flame cap cleaning mechanism 001 after cleaning the flame cap.

[0056] In other embodiments, the arc shape of the arc end 31 can also be a sine curve, cosine curve, or other curved structure to adapt to the cleaning needs of different slots on the flame cap. The scraper part 3 can be provided with multiple arc ends 31 with different curved structures to clean slots of different sizes and positions at the same time. Meanwhile, other structures such as a slope structure can be provided at the connection between the arc end 31 and the free end 32 to facilitate pushing the dirt scraped off by the free end 32 into the arc surface of the arc end 31. These will not be described in detail here.

[0057] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the scraper part 3 further includes a connecting end 34, which is connected to the central part 1. The connecting end 34 is disposed adjacent to the arc-shaped end 31 and opposite to the free end 32. The scraper part 3 is disposed on the central axis of the needle part 2, and the arc-shaped end 31 is oriented perpendicular to the axis extending in the gripping structure 13 of the central part 1. In addition, the material of the arc-shaped end 31 is an elastic alloy. Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic alloy is a nickel-titanium alloy. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped end 31 can adaptively deform when cleaning the grooves such as the flame stabilizer, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped end 31 will have a reversible adjustment effect with the change of pressure. When the flame cap cleaning mechanism 001 is used to scrape the dirt from the groove, the concentrated pressure will cause the scraper to deform, thereby increasing the contact area of ​​the arc structure of the arc-shaped end 31 with the dirt and improving the dirt collection effect. By setting the axis of the arc-shaped end 31 to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the grip structure 13 of the center part 1, the user can apply pressure more easily and conveniently when holding the flame cap cleaning mechanism to scrape dirt, which is conducive to improving cleaning efficiency.

[0058] In other embodiments, the orientation of the arc-shaped end 31 may also form an angle greater than 90° but less than 180° with the gripping direction of the center portion 1, so as to generate a force-saving lever when cleaning while gripping the center portion 1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the material thickness of the free end 32 ranges from 0.3mm to 0.5mm, the depth / spacing ratio of the arc end 31 ranges from 0.71 to 0.78, and the arc angle of the arc end 31 ranges from 35° to 55°.

[0060] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the dimensions of the two needle parts 2 correspond to the different sizes of flame holes in the flame cap, specifically a first needle tip 21 and a second needle tip 22. The first needle tip 21 is designed to fit flame holes with larger diameters, typically used for cleaning and unblocking the main flame holes. The second needle tip 22 is designed to fit flame holes with smaller diameters, typically used for cleaning and unblocking the flame stabilizing holes. In this embodiment, the first needle tip 21 and the second needle tip 22 are located on the same axis and face opposite directions. By maximizing the distance and orientation of the first needle tip 21 and the second needle tip 22, confusion during use can be avoided. By providing multiple needle parts 2 on the central portion 1, with different needle tip sizes, the need for thorough cleaning of flame holes in flame caps of different diameters can be met.

[0061] In other embodiments, the needle part 2 may also be provided with two or more needle ends, the size of each needle end being set to correspond with the flame hole of the flame cap to be cleaned, so as to adapt to the cleaning needs of flame caps of different specifications. At the same time, the relative positional relationship of different needle ends can be adapted and improved with reference to the structure of the flame cap to be cleaned, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the central part 1 also includes a first connecting end 11 and a second connecting end 12. The first connecting end 11 is connected to the needle part 2, and the second connecting end 12 is connected to the scraper part 3. The plane where the first connecting end 11 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second connecting end 12 is located.

[0063] In other embodiments, the plane where the first connecting end 11 is located may also have other angular relationships with the plane where the second connecting end 12 is located, in order to adapt to the cleaning requirements of flame caps of different sizes and structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0064] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
