However, this requires designing threads on the igniter's plastic casing, which is prone to cracking, affecting both the structural stability of the plastic casing and the installation stability of the igniter.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 Description of an igniter assembly 1 for a stove according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-2As shown, the igniter assembly 1 for a stove according to the present invention includes: an igniter body 10 and a housing 20, wherein a receiving cavity 20a is formed inside the housing 20, and at least a portion of the igniter body 10 is received in the receiving cavity 20a; wherein the igniter body 10 is formed with a protruding first lug 101, and the housing 20 is formed with a second lug 201 adapted to cooperate with the first lug 101, the second lug 201 extending toward the inside of the receiving cavity 20a.

[0031] Specifically, during the use of the stove, the igniter assembly 1 operates to facilitate the combustion of gas. The igniter assembly 1 includes an igniter body 10 and a housing 20. The igniter body 10 is used to ignite the gas, and the housing 20 is used to separate the igniter body 10 from other structures of the stove to achieve heat insulation. At least a portion of the igniter body 10 is located within a receiving cavity 20a. The igniter body 10 and the housing 20 are connected by a first lug 101 and a second lug 201. To facilitate the concealment of the connection between the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 while ensuring the structural strength of the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 themselves, the second lug 201 can be designed to extend into the receiving cavity 20a so that the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 are connected by the first lug 101 and the second lug 201.

[0032] According to the present invention, the igniter assembly 1 for a stove is designed such that the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 are connected by a first lug 101 and a second lug 201. The second lug 201 is designed to extend into the receiving cavity 20a to hide the connection between the igniter body 10 and the housing 20, thereby improving aesthetics and user experience. At the same time, it ensures the structural strength of the igniter body 10 and the housing 20, prevents the igniter body 10 or the housing 20 from cracking, improves the structural stability of the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 and their installation stability, and can improve the production efficiency of the igniter assembly 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are respectively provided with corresponding first threaded holes and second threaded holes. The first lug 101 and the second lug 201 can be fixedly engaged by screws passing through the first threaded holes and the second threaded holes, thereby fixing the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 together.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the second lug 201 is located on the moving path of the igniter body 10 into the receiving cavity 20a. When the igniter body 10 is installed in the receiving cavity 20a, the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are engaged. Specifically, the second lug 201 is located on the path of the igniter body 10 and the housing 20, so that the first lug 101 can be engaged with the second lug 201 when the igniter body 10 is installed in the receiving cavity 20a. This simplifies the installation and engagement operation of the first lug 101 and the second lug 201, eliminating the need for additional alignment and assembly operations and improving the engagement efficiency of the first lug 101 and the second lug 201.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the housing 20 has an open opening on one side in the first direction that communicates with the receiving cavity 20a. The second lug 201 is located at the edge of the housing 20 defining the open opening. The projection of the igniter body 10 in the second direction is located within the projection of the housing 20 in the second direction, and the second direction intersects with the first direction. Specifically, the igniter body 10 can be installed into the housing 20 along the first direction. The second lug 201 is located at the edge of the housing 20 defining the open opening and extends toward the inside of the receiving cavity 20a. The igniter body 10 and the housing 20 are designed such that, in the second direction, the projection of the igniter body 10 is located within the projection of the housing 20, so that the igniter body 10 is embedded in the housing 20 and does not extend beyond the housing 20 in the first direction. This achieves a hidden design for the igniter body 10, and the connection between the igniter body 10 and the housing 20 can also be hidden, improving aesthetics and user experience.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 20 includes a bottom wall 21 and a side wall. The side wall is disposed on the bottom wall 21 and surrounds at least a portion of the outer periphery of the bottom wall 21. The side wall and the bottom wall 21 together form a receiving cavity 20a. The edge of the side wall away from the bottom wall 21 defines an opening. The second lug 201 is located within the opening. Specifically, the housing 20 is box-shaped, and at least one side of the housing 20 is open to form an opening communicating with the receiving cavity 20a. The igniter body 10 can be installed in the receiving cavity 20a through the opening. The housing 20 includes a bottom wall 21 and a side wall. The bottom wall 21 and the side wall together form a receiving cavity 20a. The side wall is disposed on one side of the bottom wall 21 in a first direction and surrounds at least a portion of the outer periphery of the bottom wall 21. The edge of the side wall away from the bottom wall 21 defines an opening. The second lug 201 is located at the edge of the side wall defining the opening and extends toward the interior of the receiving cavity 20a.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2As shown, the two upper edges of the opposite sidewalls form flanges extending to the opposite side, and the flanges are constructed as second lugs 201. That is, the second lugs 201 are formed by folding the upper edges of the opposite sidewalls. The second lugs 201 are part of the sidewalls and are integrally formed with the sidewalls by folding. There are two second lugs 201 arranged opposite each other, and there are correspondingly two first lugs 101. The two first lugs 101 and the two second lugs 201 respectively cooperate to improve the stability of the fit between the igniter body 10 and the housing 20.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, after the igniter body 10 is installed on the housing 20, the surface of the igniter body 10 facing the bottom wall 21 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 21, thereby achieving heat insulation between the igniter body 10 and the bottom wall 21. In some embodiments, since the first lug 101 protrudes from the igniter body 10, the first lug 101 can be designed to overlap the second lug 201. In this case, the igniter body 10 is spaced apart from the side wall and spaced apart from the bottom wall 21, so that the igniter body 10 can be spaced apart from both the bottom wall 21 and the side wall of the housing 20, thereby further achieving the heat insulation design between the igniter body 10 and the housing 20.

[0039] In some embodiments, the sidewall is provided with a second lug 201 on both sides in the second direction, and the igniter body 10 is provided with a first lug 101 on both sides in the second direction.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a groove 201a is formed on one of the first lug 101 and the second lug 201, and the other lug 201 is received within the groove 201a. Specifically, one of the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 is received within the groove 201a of the other to achieve a positioning fit. The first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are then fixedly fitted together with screws, thereby fixing the igniter body 10 to the housing 20. In some embodiments, the groove 201a is located on the second lug 201 and is recessed in a first direction. The igniter body 10 is installed to the housing 20 along the first direction. In this case, the first lug 101 can first be positioned and fitted with the groove 201a of the second lug 201 to facilitate the subsequent fixed connection of the first lug 101 and the second lug 201.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a recess 201a is provided on the first lug 101. When the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are engaged, the surface of the first lug 101 away from the bottom wall 21 is flush with the surface of the igniter body 10 away from the bottom wall 21. Here, when the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are engaged, the second lug 201 is received in the recess 201a of the first lug 101. The surface of the first lug 101 away from the bottom wall 21 is also the top surface of the first lug 101, and the surface of the igniter body 10 away from the bottom wall 21 is also the top surface of the igniter body 10. The top surface of the first lug 101 is flush with the top surface of the igniter body 10, so that the igniter body 10 is embedded in the housing 20 and does not extend beyond the housing 20 in the first direction. This achieves a hidden design of the igniter body 10, improving aesthetics and user experience.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sink 201a is provided on the second lug 201. When the first lug 101 and the second lug 201 are in place, the surface of the second lug 201 away from the bottom wall 21, the surface of the first lug 101 away from the bottom wall 21, and the surface of the igniter body 10 away from the bottom wall 21 are flush with each other. Here, when the first ear 101 and the second ear 201 are properly engaged, the first ear 101 is housed in the recess 201a of the second ear 201. The surface of the second ear 201 away from the bottom wall 21 is also the top surface of the second ear 201. The surface of the first ear 101 away from the bottom wall 21 is also the top surface of the first ear 101. The surface of the igniter body 10 away from the bottom wall 21 is also the top surface of the igniter body 10. The top surfaces of the second ear 201, the first ear 101, and the igniter body 10 are flush, so that the igniter body 10 is embedded in the housing 20 and does not extend beyond the housing 20 in the first direction. This achieves a hidden design for the igniter body 10, improving aesthetics and user experience.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a wire passage 24a is formed in the side wall, which is suitable for the connection harness of the igniter body 10 to other structures to pass through. The wire passage 24a can be formed on the edge of the side wall or in the center of the side wall. There can also be at least one wire passage 24a. The design can be made according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, a first flange 241 is formed on the edge of the wire passage 24a. When the connecting wire harness of the igniter body 10 and other structures passes through the wire passage 24a, in order to avoid the edge of the wire passage 24a on the side wall being too sharp and cutting the connecting wire harness, causing wear to the connecting wire harness, a first flange 241 can be designed on the edge of the wire passage 24a on the side wall to increase the contact area between the edge of the wire passage 24a and the connecting wire harness, avoid the edge of the wire passage 24a from wearing the connecting wire harness, extend the service life of the connecting wire harness, and thus extend the service life of the igniter assembly 1. The design of the first flange 241 can also prevent the edge of the wire passage 24a from being too sharp and causing scratches to the operator, improving the safety of using the igniter assembly 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sidewall includes a first sidewall 22 and a second sidewall 23 facing each other in the second direction; the sidewall also includes a third sidewall 24, which is connected to the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 23 on the same side in the third direction, and the third direction intersects the first direction and the second direction respectively; wherein the edges of the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 23 away from the third sidewall 24 are respectively formed with second flanges 202 extending in the direction away from each other.

[0046] Specifically, the housing 20 includes a bottom wall 21 and side walls. The side walls include a first side wall 22, a second side wall 23, and a third side wall 24. The first side wall 22 and the second side wall 23 face each other in a second direction. The third side wall 24 is connected to the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 23 on the same side in a third direction. The bottom wall 21, the first side wall 22, the second side wall 23, and the third side wall 24 together form a receiving cavity 20a. The edges of the first side wall 22, the second side wall 23, and the third side wall 24 away from the bottom wall 21 define an opening. The second lug 201 is constructed as two and is respectively disposed on the edges of the opening defined by the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 23. Furthermore, the edges of the bottom wall 21, the first side wall 22, and the second side wall 23 away from the third side wall 24 define an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity 20a. The edges of the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 23 away from the third side wall 24 are respectively formed with second flanges 202. The second flanges 202 can increase the contact area between the edge of the opening and other structures, avoid the edge of the opening being too sharp and causing scratches to the operator, and improve the safety of using the igniter assembly 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the edges of the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 23 away from the third sidewall 24 are both first edges, and the edges of the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 23 away from the bottom wall 21 are both second edges. The first and second edges of a single sidewall are connected by an arc transition. Specifically, the arc transition between the first and second edges of the first sidewall 22 makes the junction between the first and second edges smoother, preventing scratches to the operator and improving the safety of the igniter assembly 1. Similarly, the arc transition between the first and second edges of the second sidewall 23 makes the junction between the first and second edges smoother, preventing scratches to the operator and improving the safety of the igniter assembly 1.
