Two operation knobs 13, 14 of the same shape are provided side by side in the left-right direction at the same height as the operation knobs 11, 12 in the area to the left of the grill door 8. The operation knobs 11, 12, 13, 14 are provided for igniting, extinguishing, and adjusting the flame power of the right burner 4, the grill burner (not shown) inside the grill chamber, the rear burner 6, and the left burner 5, respectively.

[0020] The fuel supply device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The stove 1 includes three fuel supply devices 20 in the housing 2, which supply gas as fuel to the right burner 4, the left burner 5, and the back burner 6, respectively. The operation knobs 11, 13, and 14 are attached to the front end of the fuel supply devices 20. The stove 1 also includes a fuel supply device (not shown) in the housing 2 that supplies gas to the grill burner. In addition to the configuration of the fuel supply device 20, the fuel supply device that supplies gas to the grill burner includes an electromagnetic valve for switching the flame of the grill burner between low and high flame, a governor device for adjusting the gas pressure supplied to the grill burner, and the like. The operation knob 12 is attached to the front end of the fuel supply device that supplies gas to the grill burner. The fuel supply device that supplies gas to the grill burner will not be described. Below, the fuel supply device 20 that supplies gas to the back burner 6 and the operation knob 13 corresponding to the fuel supply device 20 that supplies gas to the back burner 6 will be described. The display of the flame power of the rear burner 6 on the operation knob 13, which will be described later, realized by the present invention is performed in the same manner as the display of the flame power of the right burner 4, the grill burner, and the left burner 5 on the operation knobs 11, 12, and 14. In the following, the right burner 4, the left burner 5, the rear burner 6, and the grill burner will be collectively referred to simply as "burners."

[0021] The operation knob 13 is provided with a cylindrical body member 131 extending in the front-rear direction, which has a front plate portion 134 that is a circular flat portion in front view covering the front end, and a cylindrical body portion 132 that extends rearward from the peripheral portion of the front plate portion 134. The fuel supply device 20 ignites and extinguishes the rear burner 6 in response to the pushing operation of the operation knob 13, and adjusts the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6 in response to the turning operation of the operation knob 13. The pushing operation is an operation of pushing the operation knob 13 rearward and pushing the front plate portion 134 of the operation knob 13 rearward from the front surface F of the housing 2 of the stove 1 (the front surface of the decorative panel 80 of the panel device 9B, see FIG. 1). The turning operation is an operation of pinching the body portion 132 of the operation knob 13 with fingers or the like and turning the operation knob 13 around an axis (axis center AX) extending in the front-rear direction.

[0022] The fuel supply device 20 includes a push-push mechanism 24, a gas flow passage section 22, a flame adjustment cam 26, a flow rate adjustment section 31, a connecting member 25, a medium flame guide 90, and the like. The push-push mechanism 24 is a known mechanism, and in this embodiment, it is used to position the operation knob 13 at each of the standby position, the pushed-in position, and the operation position, and to maintain a main valve (not shown) described later in an open state or a closed state according to each position. The standby position is a position where the front plate section 134 of the operation knob 13 is at approximately the same position as the front face F of the housing 2 of the stove 1 in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 6). In the standby position, the front plate section 134 of the operation knob 13 may be located slightly rearward of the front face F, or may be located slightly forward of the front face F. In the pushed-in position, the front plate section 134 of the operation knob 13 is located behind the front face F (not shown). In the pushed-in position, the operation knob 13 is located behind the standby position. The operating position is a position where the rear end of the operating knob 13 is located rearward of the front surface F and where most of the main body member 131 of the operating knob 13 protrudes forward from the front surface F (see Figs. 7 to 9). In the operating position, the operating knob 13 is located forward of the standby position. When in the operating position, the operating knob 13 can be rotated about the axis AX.

[0023] The push-push mechanism 24 includes a slider 40 that moves back and forth in response to the pushing operation of the operation knob 13, a spring (not shown) that pushes the slider 40 back forward, and a valve drive unit (not shown) that drives the main valve. Each time the operation knob 13 is pushed, the slider 40 repeats the action of moving the operation knob 13 from the standby position via the pushed-in position to the operating position and the action of moving from the operating position via the pushed-in position to the standby position. The valve drive unit opens the main valve in conjunction with the movement of the operation knob 13 from the standby position to the operating position and maintains it in an open state, and closes the main valve in conjunction with the movement of the operation knob 13 from the operating position to the standby position and maintains it in a closed state.

[0024] The gas flow passage section 22 is connected to the rear side of the push-push mechanism 24. A first gas passage (not shown) is formed inside the gas flow passage section 22. The first gas passage distributes gas supplied from a gas supply pipe (not shown) connected to an inlet 23 opening at the bottom to the flow rate adjustment section 31. A safety valve (not shown) and a main valve (not shown) are provided in the first gas passage. The safety valve is an electromagnetically operated valve that is elastically biased to a closed state that closes the first gas passage. The main valve is a valve that opens and closes the first gas passage in response to the pushing operation of the operation knob 13. Note that the main valve and the safety valve are well known, so a detailed description of their operations will be omitted.

[0025] The flow rate adjustment unit 31 is provided above the push-push mechanism 24 and the gas flow path unit 22. A second gas passage (not shown) is formed inside the flow rate adjustment unit 31. The second gas passage passes gas supplied from the gas flow path unit 22 and supplies it to the rear burner 6 via a gas supply pipe (not shown) connected to an outlet (not shown) opening at the top. Although not shown, a governor device is provided above the fuel supply device that supplies gas to the grill burner, and the gas flowing out from the outlet is introduced into the governor device. The governor device adjusts the pressure of the gas introduced inside and supplies it to the grill burner.

[0026] A hole 30 communicating with the second gas passage is formed in the front end of the flow rate adjustment part 31, and a needle valve 28 is inserted into the hole 30. The front end side of the needle valve 28 is exposed to the outside from the hole 30, and the rear end side is disposed within the second gas passage so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. A pin 29 extending in the vertical direction is provided at the front end of the needle valve 28.

[0027] The flame adjustment cam 26 is formed in a roughly semi-cylindrical shape, and is provided so as to cover the upper front end side of the push-push mechanism 24 and be rotatable around the axis AX. The movement of the flame adjustment cam 26 in the front-rear direction is restricted. A cam groove 27 is provided on the outer periphery of the flame adjustment cam 26. The cam groove 27 is formed in a spiral shape centered on the axis AX. The lower end of a pin 29 provided on a needle valve 28 engages with the cam groove 27. When the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates, the cam groove 27 guides the pin 29, moving the needle valve 28 in the front-rear direction.

[0028] The flame adjustment cam 26 has an extension 34 extending forward, and a toothed portion 35 protruding inward at the front end of the extension 34. When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the toothed portion 35 meshes with a toothed portion 38 (described later) of the connecting member 25, and the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates around the axis AX together with the operation knob 13 via the connecting member 25. A cylindrical body operating member 36 is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the extension 34. The cylindrical body operating member 36 has an engagement piece 36B extending forward. The cylindrical body operating member 36 engages with a cylindrical body 70 (described later), and rotates the cylindrical body 70 together with the flame adjustment cam 26 around the axis AX. The extension 34 has a tapered portion 34A that narrows midway. When the operating knob 13 is pressed, the tapered portion 34A engages with the medium flame guide 90 and rotates the medium flame guide 90.

[0029] The connecting member 25 extends forward from the slider 40 of the push-push mechanism 24 and engages with the shaft body 37 whose axis is the axis AX. The connecting member 25 is held at the front end of the shaft body 37 and is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction together with the slider 40 while being rotatable around the shaft body 37 about the axis AX. The operating knob 13 is held at the tip 25A of the connecting member 25 and is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction together with the connecting member 25 and rotatable about the axis AX. The connecting member 25 has a toothed portion 38 on the outer circumferential surface at the rear end, the toothed portion 38 having a plurality of teeth 38A that mesh with the toothed portion 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26. When the operating knob 13 is in the operating position, the toothed portion 38 of the connecting member 25 meshes with the toothed portion 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26, connecting the operating knob 13 and the flame adjustment cam 26. When the operating knob 13 is not in the operating position, the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26 are located in front of the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 and do not mesh with the teeth 38, thereby releasing the connection between the operating knob 13 and the flame adjustment cam 26.

[0030] The medium flame guide 90 is arranged behind the connecting member 25. The medium flame guide 90 is fixed to the shaft body 37 of the slider 40 and is arranged so as to be movable in the front-to-back direction together with the slider 40. The medium flame guide 90 has a fixed portion 91, a half-brim portion 92, and a guide portion 93. The fixed portion 91 is cylindrical and fixes the medium flame guide 90 to the shaft body 37. The half-brim portion 92 protrudes radially outward in a brim-like shape from the lower part of the front end portion of the fixed portion 91. The connecting member 25 is arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the front surface of the half-brim portion 92.

[0031] The guide portion 93 is generally cylindrical, and the inner surface of the rear end of the lower portion is connected to the outer periphery of the half flange portion 92. The upper portion of the guide portion 93 is made larger in diameter than the lower portion, and an opening 94 is formed between the inner surface of the rear end and the upper portion of the front end of the fixing portion 91. The tapered portion 34A of the extension portion 34 of the flame adjustment cam 26 is inserted into the opening 94. The inner diameter of the lower portion of the guide portion 93 is larger than the maximum diameter of the teeth portion 38 of the connecting member 25. In addition, a guide protrusion 95 is provided on the upper surface of the upper portion of the guide portion 93. The guide protrusion 95 engages with a groove portion 36A provided on the lower surface of the cylindrical body operating member 36.

[0032] The following describes how the rear burner 6 is ignited and extinguished, and how the flame power is adjusted by pushing and rotating the operation knob 13. When the rear burner 6 is extinguished, the operation knob 13 is in the standby position. When the user of the stove 1 pushes in the operation knob 13 from the standby position, the safety valve and main valve are opened and the rear burner 6 is ignited by an igniter (not shown). When the user releases the operation knob 13 from the pressed position, the spring of the push-push mechanism 24 pushes the slider 40 back forward, and the operation knob 13 moves to the operating position. The safety valve and main valve are maintained in an open state. The operation knob 13 and the flame power adjustment cam 26 are connected by a connecting member 25.

[0033] When the operation knob 13 in the operating position is rotated, the flame power adjustment cam 26 rotates around the axis AX together with the operation knob 13 with the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 meshing with the teeth 35 of the flame power adjustment cam 26. When the flame power adjustment cam 26 rotates, the pin 29 of the needle valve 28 is guided by the cam groove 27 and moves in the front-rear direction. This causes the needle valve 28 to move in the front-rear direction. Depending on the position of the needle valve 28, the flow rate of gas flowing through the second gas passage is adjusted, and the flame power of the rear burner 6 is changed.

[0034] When the user pushes the operation knob 13 in the operation position and the operation knob 13 moves to the pushed-in position, the safety valve and the main valve are closed. The rear burner 6 is extinguished. When the user releases the operation knob 13 in the pushed-in position, the spring of the push-push mechanism 24 pushes the slider 40 back forward, and the operation knob 13 moves to the standby position. The safety valve and the main valve are maintained in a closed state. That is, in this embodiment, the operation of pushing the operation knob 13 in the standby position to move it to the pushed-in position corresponds to the ignition operation of the burner. The operation of pushing the operation knob 13 in the operation position to move it to the pushed-in position corresponds to the extinguishing operation of the burner. In addition, the operation knob 13 is placed in the operation position from the end of the ignition operation to the start of the extinguishing operation, that is, while the burner is in a burning state. The operation knob 13 is placed in the standby position from the end of the extinguishing operation to the start of the ignition operation.

[0035] In this way, as the operation knob 13 in the operating position is rotated, the connecting member 25 rotates the flame power adjustment cam 26. The rotating flame power adjustment cam 26 moves the needle valve 28, thereby continuously adjusting the flow rate of gas flowing through the second gas passage of the flow rate adjustment unit 31. That is, the connecting member 25 adjusts the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6 according to the amount of rotation of the operation knob 13, and the flame power of the rear burner 6 changes according to the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6. The same applies to the ignition and extinguishing and flame power adjustment of the right burner 4, grill burner, and left burner 5 by pressing and rotating the operation knobs 11, 12, and 14.

[0036] Next, panel device 9B will be described. Stove 1 is equipped with panel device 9A in the area to the right of grill door 8, and panel device 9B in the area to the left of grill door 8 (see FIG. 1). Panel devices 9A and 9B are provided to arrange operation knobs 11-14 on front surface F of housing 2. Panel devices 9A and 9B are fixed to housing 2 in front of fuel supply device 20, and together with grill door 8, constitute front surface F of housing 2.

[0037] Panel device 9B will be described with reference to Fig. 3. The configuration of panel device 9B related to the heating power display on operation knob 13 is the same as that of operation knob 14. Also, the configuration of panel device 9A related to the heating power display on operation knobs 11 and 12 is the same as that of panel device 9B, so the description will be omitted.

[0038] The panel device 9B includes a panel main body 50, a light source board 60, a cylindrical body 70, and a decorative panel 80. The panel main body 50 is attached to the front end of the housing 2. The lower part 51 of the panel main body 50 is formed in a box shape, and an operation panel (not shown) is housed therein for the user to input the selection of heat control according to the cooking contents, set a timer, etc. The upper part 52 of the panel main body 50 protrudes upward from the lower part 51 in a plate shape. The upper part 52 is formed with two through holes 53 that penetrate in the front-rear direction, side by side in the left-right direction. At the top of the two through holes 53, a notch 54 is formed that penetrates the upper part 52 of the panel main body 50 in the front-rear direction in a rectangular shape, similar to the through holes 53. The inner diameter of the through hole 53 is larger than the outer diameter of the operation knobs 13, 14. The fuel supply device 20 of the rear burner 6 is fixed to the upper part 52 of the panel main body 50 from the rear side. The connecting member 25 and the operation knob 13 of the fuel supply device 20 of the rear burner 6 are disposed in the right-side through-hole 53. The fuel supply device 20 of the left burner 5 is disposed next to the left side of the fuel supply device 20 of the rear burner 6, and is fixed to the upper part 52 of the panel main body 50 from the rear side (not shown).

[0039] A light source board 60 is fixed to the rear surface of the upper portion 52. The light source board 60 is a board in which a mounting surface on which a plurality of LEDs 61 (see Figs. 8 and 9) serving as light sources are mounted is formed in a generally rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction. The light source board 60 is held by a board holder 62 that holds the light source board 60. The board holder 62 is fixed to the rear surface of the upper portion 52 at a position above the through-hole 53 by a plurality of screws 63.

[0040] The decorative panel 80 is a plate-like body that is attached to the front side of the upper portion 52 of the panel main body 50. The decorative panel 80 has two openings 86 that penetrate in the front-rear direction, and light-transmitting portions 81 that are disposed above each opening 86. The decorative panel 80 has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and has a slide lock 85 at its upper end. When the slide lock 85 is slid to the right while the decorative panel 80 is attached to the upper portion 52 of the panel main body 50, the decorative panel 80 is fixed to the panel main body 50.

[0041] The two openings 86 are formed side by side in the left-right direction. The inner diameters of the two openings 86 are larger than the outer diameters of the operation knobs 13, 14. The operation knobs 13, 14 are disposed inside the two openings 86, respectively. The light-transmitting portion 81 is provided in front of the light source board 60 in a state in which the decorative panel 80 is assembled to the upper portion 52 of the panel main body 50.

[0042] The cylindrical body 70 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. The cylindrical body 70 includes a main body 71 and a flange 76. The main body 71 is cylindrical and extends in the front-rear direction. The outer diameter of the main body 71 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through-hole 53 of the panel main body 50. The inner diameter of the main body 71 is larger than the outer diameter of the operation knobs 11, 12, 13, and 14 (see Fig. 3). A light passing portion 77 is formed at the front end of the main body 71. The light passing portion 77 is a portion in which approximately half of the front end of the main body 71 is cut out rearward by a predetermined width.

[0043] The flange portion 76 is formed in a flange shape radially outward in a portion of the front end of the main body portion 71 where the light transmitting portion 77 is not provided. The main body portion 71 is provided with hook pieces 75 at two circumferential positions (see FIG. 2) that are hooked from the rear side to the edge of the through hole 53 of the panel main body portion 50. The flange portion 76 abutting the front surface of the edge of the through hole 53 and the hook pieces 75 prevent the cylindrical body 70 from coming off when the main body portion 71 is disposed in the through hole 53, and the cylindrical body 70 is held rotatably around the axis AX in the through hole 53. An engagement portion 74 is provided in the main body portion 71 at a position between the two hook pieces 75. The engagement portion 74 engages with an engagement piece 36B (see FIG. 2) provided at the tip of the cylindrical body operation member 36. In the main body portion 71, the portions that sandwich the engagement portion 74 from both sides in the circumferential direction extend rearward, making it difficult for the engagement piece 36B to come off.

[0044] The operation knob 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The operation knob 13 includes a main body member 131, a light guide member 136, and a regulating member 139. The main body member 131 includes a plurality of recesses 142A on the outer periphery of the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132. Each of the recesses 142A is recessed radially inward of the body portion 132 with respect to the outer periphery of the body portion 132. Each of the recesses 142A is formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132 at the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132. Each of the recesses 142A extends forward from the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 in a comb-teeth shape. The rear ends of the recesses 142A are connected to the rear ends of the adjacent recesses 142A. That is, the recesses 142A are connected to each other at the rear end portion of the body portion 132 to form one recess 142.

[0045] A flat surface portion 143 is provided in front of each of the multiple recesses 142A, and the flat surface portion 143 has a width in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132 that corresponds to the width of each of the multiple recesses 142A. Each of the flat surface portions 143 is disposed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132, with its normal line aligned along the radial direction of the body portion 132. That is, in the body portion 132, the multiple flat surface portions 143 are provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction with their surfaces facing radially outward of the body portion 132.

[0046] The body portion 132 has engagement holes 141 which are holes penetrating the body portion 132 at the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132. In this embodiment, three engagement holes 141 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132. Each of the three engagement holes 141 is provided in a portion of the recess 142 where a plurality of recesses 142A are connected to each other.

[0047] The light guide member 136 is made of a light guide material. As the light guide material, a material that has transparency and can guide light, such as an acrylic resin, can be used. A plate-shaped body formed of a light guide material in a plate shape guides light to any part or the entire surface of the plate body by diffusing light incident from an end face (small edge) of the plate body inside. The light guide member 136 includes a mounting portion 137 and an extension portion 138. The mounting portion 137 is an annular shape having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. The extension portion 138 includes a plurality of protruding portions 138A that protrude forward from the mounting portion 137 at equal intervals in a comb-tooth shape. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the mounting portion 137 is disposed rearward of the upper portion 52 of the panel main body portion 50 (rearward of the front surface of the decorative panel 80) when the operation knob 13 is in the operation position. When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, most of the extension portion 138, except for a portion adjacent to the mounting portion 137, is disposed forward of the decorative panel 80 (forward of the front surface F of the housing 2).

[0048] The mounting portion 137 and the extension portion 138 are both outer peripheral surfaces of a plate-shaped body made of a light-guiding material. The plate-shaped body made of the light-guiding material used in the light-guiding member 136 is configured so that when light is incident from an end face, the incident light is guided to the entire surface, and the entire surface emits light uniformly. The light-guiding member 136 is assembled to the rear end portion 133 of the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131. The number of the protruding portions 138A is the same as the number of the teeth 38A of the toothed portion 35 of the connecting member 25. Therefore, the user can easily match the amount of rotation of the operation knob 13 with the amount of rotation of the toothed portion 38 of the flame power adjustment cam 26 during the turning operation. In addition, the number of the multiple flat portions 143 in the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131 is the same as the number of the protruding portions 138A in the extension portion 138. In addition, the mounting portion 137 is provided with a reverse flange portion 151. The reverse flange portion 151 is a portion that protrudes from the rear end portion of the mounting portion 137 toward the inside in the radial direction of the mounting portion 137 .

[0049] The restricting member 139 restricts the light guide member 136 attached to the main body member 131 from being misaligned with respect to the main body member 131, and is a member for holding the operation knob 13 at the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25. The restricting member 139 includes a tubular portion 161, a front portion 164, a flange portion 162, an engagement portion 163, and a holding portion 165. The tubular portion 161 is cylindrical with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131. The front portion 164 is a surface portion that is circular in front view and is provided at the front end portion of the tubular portion 161. The length from the rear end portion of the tubular portion 161 to the front portion 164 is slightly shorter than the length of the main body member 131 in the front-rear direction. The flange portion 162 is a portion that protrudes from the rear end portion of the tubular portion 161 to the outside in the radial direction of the tubular portion 161. The engaging portion 163 is a hook-shaped portion that protrudes slightly radially outward from the rear portion of the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 161. In this embodiment, three engaging portions 163 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 161. The holding portion 165 is a shaft-shaped portion that extends rearward from the center of the rear surface of the front portion 164. The holding portion 165 is a portion to be inserted into a hole 25B (see FIG. 5) provided in the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25.

[0050] The shape of each of the plurality of protruding portions 138A in the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 corresponds to the shape of each of the plurality of recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131. The mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 connects the rear portions of each of the plurality of protruding portions 138A so that the intervals in the circumferential direction of the plurality of recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131 and the intervals of each of the plurality of protruding portions 138A are the same. When the light guide member 136 is inserted from the rear into the inside of the recess 142 of the main body member 131, each of the plurality of protruding portions 138A of the extension portion 138 is inserted from the rear toward the front into each of the plurality of recesses 142A. Therefore, the light guide member 136 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132 with respect to the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. In this state, the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 covers the outer periphery of the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 in an annular shape.

[0051] The front surface 164 and the cylindrical portion 161 of the restricting member 139 are inserted from the rear into the inside of the trunk 132 of the main body member 131 in which the light guide member 136 is inserted into the recess 142. At this time, the restricting member 139 is inserted into the trunk 132 such that the three engagement holes 141 in the trunk 132 of the main body member 131 and the three engagement portions 163 in the cylindrical portion 161 of the restricting member 139 are aligned at the same position in the front-rear direction. The front surface 164 and the cylindrical portion 161 of the restricting member 139 inserted into the trunk 132 of the main body member 131 are pushed into positions where the three engagement portions 163 engage with the three engagement holes 141 in the trunk 132, respectively. The three engagement portions 163 engage with the three engagement holes 141, respectively, so that the main body member 131, the light guiding member 136, and the regulating member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13. The holding portion 165 of the regulating member 139 is inserted into the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25, so that the connecting member 25 fixes the operation knob 13 integrally at the tip portion 25A.

[0052] The appearance of operation knob 13 in the standby position and the detailed configuration of operation knob 13 will be described with reference to Figure 6. In the standby position, operation knob 13 has front panel portion 134 located at approximately the same position in the front-to-rear direction as front surface F of housing 2 of stove 1. Therefore, when operation knob 13 is in the standby position (in this embodiment, when the burner is turned off and stove 1 is not being used for cooking, etc.), the appearance of stove 1 from the front can be made to look flat and unified with operation knob 13 not standing out.

[0053] As shown in the W1 region of FIG. 6, in a state in which the main body member 131, the light guiding member 136, and the regulating member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136 protrudes radially inward from the rear end portion 133 of the barrel portion 132 of the main body member 131. That is, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136 abuts against the rear end portion 133 of the barrel portion 132 of the main body member 131. In addition, the flange portion 162 of the regulating member 139 protrudes radially outward from the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 161 behind the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136. Therefore, in the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136 is sandwiched in the front-rear direction between the rear end of the barrel portion 132 of the main body member 131 and the flange portion 162 of the regulating member 139. Therefore, the light guide member 136 is prevented from being misaligned in the front-rear direction in the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131 .

[0054] With reference to Figs. 7 to 9, the heat display on the operation knob 13 will be described. In Figs. 7 to 9, the operation knob 13 is in the operation position. The light source board 60 is installed in a tilted state so that the mounting surface on which the LEDs 61 are mounted faces downward rather than the front. All of the LEDs 61 on the light source board 60 are turned on when the safety valve is opened. The LEDs 61 emit light in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. Therefore, the light emitted from the LEDs 61 is directed obliquely downward from the light source board 60 toward the upper part of the rear end of the operation knob 13. By using multiple LEDs 61, the light source board 60 can emit stronger light toward the rear end of the operation knob 13 than when a light source such as a single LED is used.

[0055] As described above, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the flame power adjustment cam 26 is connected to the operation knob 13 and adjusts the flame power of the rear burner 6 according to the rotation operation of the operation knob 13. When the operation knob 13 rotates, the cylindrical body 70 rotates around the axis AX together with the flame power adjustment cam 26 via the cylindrical body operation member 36. The main body 71 of the cylindrical body 70 blocks the emitted light of the LED 61 from the rear end of the operation knob 13, except for the position where the light passing portion 77 is provided. The emitted light of the LED 61 passes through the position where the light passing portion 77 is provided, and the emitted light reaches the upper part of the rear end of the operation knob 13. When the operation knob 13 is rotated to change the flame power, the light passing portion 77 moves in the circumferential direction around the axis AX, so that the range where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the rear end of the operation knob 13 changes.

[0056] As described above, when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the front plate portion 134 of the main body member 131 is disposed at a position that is substantially the same as the front surface F in the front-rear direction, and the entire light guide member 136 is disposed behind the decorative panel 80 (behind the front surface F of the housing 2). Therefore, when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the user cannot see the light guide member 136. On the other hand, when the operation knob 13 moves from the standby position to the operating position via the pressed-in position, most of the main body member 131 of the operation knob protrudes forward from the front surface F. Accordingly, as shown in the W2 region in FIG. 9, the tip portion of the extension portion 138 is disposed to protrude forward from the front surface of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the user can see the tip portion of the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136.

[0057] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the rear end of the operation knob 13 is covered in an annular shape by the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136. The light emitted from the LED 61 passing through the light passing portion 77 irradiates the portion of the mounting portion 137 corresponding to the position where the light passing portion 77 is arranged. The light irradiating the mounting portion 137 enters the inside of the light guide member 136 from the end face of the mounting portion 137, the entering light is diffused inside the light guide member 136, and the diffused light is guided to the protruding portion 138A. Therefore, the protruding portion 138A arranged near the portion of the mounting portion 137 where the emitted light from the LED 61 reaches emits light. On the other hand, the light emitted from the LED 61 does not enter the portion of the mounting portion 137 corresponding to the position where the light passing portion 77 is not arranged, so the protruding portion 138A corresponding to that portion does not emit light. Therefore, as the operation knob 13 is rotated to change the flame power, the range in which the emitted light from the LED 61 reaches the mounting portion 137 of the light-guiding member 136 changes.

[0058] Since the extension part 138 has a plurality of protrusions 138A, the protrusions 138A arranged in front of the part of the mounting part 137 where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches emit light, and the protrusions 138A in the part where the emitted light does not reach do not emit light. That is, each of the protrusions 138A emits light independently according to the flame power of the rear burner 6. The wider the range where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, the more the number of the emitting protrusions 138A increases. Also, the narrower the range where the emitted light reaches the mounting part 137, the less the number of the emitting protrusions 138A decreases. Therefore, the operation knob 13 can indicate the degree of the flame power of the rear burner 6 corresponding to the amount of rotation of the operation knob 13 by the range where the extension part 138 emits light (the number of the emitting protrusions 138A) in the upper part of the body 132 of the operation knob 13.

[0059] In this embodiment, the stronger the flame power of the rear burner 6, the wider the range in which the light emitted by the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, and the wider the range in which the extension part 138 emits light (the more the number of the emitting protrusions 138A). Also, the weaker the flame power of the rear burner 6, the narrower the range in which the light emitted by the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, and the narrower the range in which the extension part 138 emits light (the fewer the number of the emitting protrusions 138A). Therefore, the stove 1 allows the user to intuitively grasp the flame power of the rear burner 6 based on the range in which the extension part 138 emits light. The body part 132 of the operation knob 13 in the operating position is disposed forward of the front face F (see FIG. 1) of the housing 2 of the stove 1. A user who uses the stove 1 for cooking or the like can recognize the flame power of the rear burner 6 by looking down from above at the emitting range of the extension part 138 in the body part 132 while in a cooking posture.

[0060] Since the operation knob 13 is provided with a plurality of flat portions 143, the user can firmly grasp the operation knob 13 during the rotation operation and adjust the flame power with precision. The protruding portions 138A in the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 and the plurality of flat portions 143 give the impression of extending in a line in the front-rear direction in the operation knob 13, improving the aesthetic appearance of the operation knob 13. In addition, as shown in the W2 region of FIG. 9, when the operation knob 13 is in the operation position, the engagement hole 141 in the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131 and the engagement portion 163 of the regulating member 139 that engages with the engagement hole 141 are located behind the front surface (front surface F) of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, the engagement hole 141 and the engagement portion 163 are not visible to the user performing the rotation operation of the operation knob 13 in the operation position. By devising such an arrangement of the engagement holes 141 and the engagement parts 163, the appearance of the stove 1 can be prevented from being impaired even if the engagement holes 141 and the engagement parts 163 are provided.

[0061] The light-transmitting portion 81 (see Figs. 7 and 9) provided in the decorative panel 80 at a position in front of the light source board 60 emits light emitted from the LED 61 and incident from the rear side through the cutout portion 54 (see Fig. 3) of the upper portion 52 of the panel main body 50 to the front from the front surface of the decorative panel 80. The light-transmitting portion 81 can notify the user that the rear burner 6 is igniting by emitting the light of the LED 61. The LEDs 61 of the light source board 60 are also lit when an error occurs in the burner 1 when the safety valve is closed. In this case, the light-transmitting portion 81 can notify the user that an error occurs in the burner 1 by emitting the light of the LED 61. When the safety valve is closed, the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, and the light-guiding member 136 does not display the flame power of the rear burner 6, so the user does not mistakenly believe that an error occurs in the burner 1 and that the rear burner 6 is igniting.

[0062] As described above, the main body member 131 has three engagement holes 141 in the trunk 132. The restricting member 139 has three engagement portions 163 in the tubular portion 161. When the tubular portion 161 is inserted from the rear into the trunk 132 to which the light guiding member 136 is attached, the three engagement portions 163 in the tubular portion 161 engage with the three engagement holes 141 in the trunk 132, respectively. In this way, the main body member 131, the light guiding member 136, and the restricting member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13. In the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136 protrudes radially inward from the rear end portion 133 of the trunk 132 of the main body member 131. Flange portion 162 of regulating member 139 protrudes radially outward from the rear end of cylindrical portion 161 behind reverse flange portion 151 of light guiding member 136. This causes reverse flange portion 151 of light guiding member 136 to be sandwiched in the front-rear direction between flange portion 162 and the rear end of body portion 132. Therefore, misalignment of light guiding member 136 in the front-rear direction relative to main body member 131 is regulated. By devising the shapes of main body member 131, light guiding member 136, and regulating member 139, stove 1 can prevent misalignment of light guiding member 136 simply by integrating main body member 131, light guiding member 136, and regulating member 139 to form operation knob 13.

[0063] In the operation knob 13, the mounting portion 137 and the extension portion 138 of the light guiding member 136 are inserted into a recess 142 provided in the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131. This prevents the light guiding member 136 from being misaligned relative to the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131 when the light guiding member 136 rotates in the circumferential direction of the trunk portion 132.

[0064] The recess 142 includes a plurality of recesses 142A. Each of the recesses 142A is recessed radially inward of the body 132 with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the body 132. Each of the recesses 142A is formed to extend forward from the rear end of the body 132 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 includes a plurality of protruding portions 138A protruding forward from the mounting portion 137 at equal intervals in a comb-tooth shape. The mounting portion 137 connects the rear portions of the protruding portions 138A to be spaced apart at the same intervals as the intervals between the recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131. The protruding portions 138A are provided in accordance with the shapes of the recesses 142. When light guide member 136 is inserted from the rear into the inside of recess 142 of main body member 131, each of multiple protrusions 138A of extension portion 138 is inserted from the rear toward the front into each of multiple recesses 142A. This restricts light guide member 136 from rotating in the circumferential direction of body portion 132 relative to body portion 132 of main body member 131. Therefore, stove 1 can prevent light guide member 136 from being misaligned in the circumferential direction relative to body portion 132.

[0065] In stove 1, light guiding member 136 of main body member 131 of operation knob 13 is provided with a plurality of flat surfaces 143, so that when a user turns operation knob 13 in the operating position, the fingers gripping operation knob 13 are less likely to slip, improving the operability of operation knob 13. In addition, stove 1 can prevent light guiding member 136 from shifting in the circumferential direction relative to body 132, even when operation knob 13 is turned. Each of protruding portions 138A in extension portion 138 of light guiding member 136 and each of the plurality of flat surfaces 143 give the impression that operation knob 13 extends in a line in the front-rear direction, improving the aesthetic appearance of operation knob 13.

[0066] When the operating knob 13 is in the operating position, the engaging hole 141 in the trunk 132 of the main body member 131 and the engaging portion 163 of the restricting member 139 that engages with the engaging hole 141 are located behind the front surface (front surface F) of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, the engaging hole 141 and the engaging portion 163 are not visible to a user who is rotating the operating knob 13 that is in the operating position. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the stove 1 can be prevented from being impaired.

[0067] In this embodiment, the stove 1 corresponds to the "stove" of the present invention. The decorative panel 80 corresponds to the "front panel" of the present invention. The operation knobs 11, 12, 13, and 14 correspond to the "on / off button" of the present invention. The main body member 131 corresponds to the "main body member" of the present invention. The front plate portion 134 corresponds to the "front plate" of the present invention. The body portion 132 corresponds to the "body portion" of the present invention. The engagement hole 141 corresponds to the "engagement hole" of the present invention. The LED 61 of the light source board 60 corresponds to the "light emitting portion" of the present invention. The light guide member 136 corresponds to the "light guide member" of the present invention. The mounting portion 137 corresponds to the "mounting portion" of the present invention. The extension portion 138 corresponds to the "extension portion" of the present invention. The reverse flange portion 151 corresponds to the "reverse flange portion" of the present invention. The regulating member 139 corresponds to the "regulating member" of the present invention. The cylindrical portion 161 and the front portion 164 correspond to the "insertion portion" of the present invention. Flange portion 162 corresponds to the "flange portion" of the present invention. Engagement portion 163 corresponds to the "engagement portion" of the present invention. The multiple recesses 142A correspond to the "multiple recesses" of the present invention. The multiple protrusions 138A of extension portion 138 correspond to the "multiple extension portions" of the present invention. The multiple flat portions 143 correspond to the "multiple flat portions" of the present invention.

[0068] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the flange portion 162 does not need to protrude radially outward from the entire rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 161. It is sufficient that the flange portion 162 protrudes radially outward from at least a portion of the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 161. In this case, it is preferable that the flange portion 162 protrudes radially outward from at least three portions of the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 161.

[0069] The extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 may not include the protrusion 138A, but may have a shape that extends forward in an annular shape continuous with the mounting portion 137 in the body portion 132 of the operation knob 13.

[0070] The front plate portions 134, 144 of the operation knob 13 do not need to be completely circular when viewed from the front, but may have a shape that approximates a circle. For example, the front plate portions 134, 144 may be an ellipse that is slightly distorted from a circle, or a polygonal shape that approximates a circle.

[0071] The operation knob 13 may be located at the operation position in cases other than after the end of the ignition operation. For example, the operation knob 13 may be located at the operation position during the period from the end of the extinguishing operation to the start of the ignition operation (when the burner is extinguished and the stove 1 is not being used for cooking, etc.).

[0072] For example, the width of the front end of the main body 71 cut out in the circumferential direction as the light passing portion 77 may be wider or narrower than that of the above embodiment. For example, the width of the front end of the main body 71 cut out in the circumferential direction as the light passing portion 77 may be approximately the same as the circumferential width of one protrusion 138A of the extension portion 138. In this case, as the operation knob 13 is rotated to change the flame power, the position at which the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 arranged at the rear end of the operation knob 13 changes, and one protrusion 138A corresponding to the position of the mounting portion 137 where the emitted light reaches is illuminated. Therefore, the operation knob 13 can indicate the flame power of the rear burner 6 by changing the position at which the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 emits light (the position at which one protrusion 138A emits light).

[0073] Operation knob 13 does not need to be completely cylindrical, and may be shaped such that, for example, body portion 132 of main body member 131 of operation knob 13 gradually tapers from rear end portion 133 toward front plate portion 134 .

[0074] The stove 1 is a built-in type gas stove, but the stove 1 may also be a gas table stove, a cassette type gas stove, or the like, in which the flame power is adjusted by turning an operating knob 13.

[0075] In stove 1, it is not necessary for all of operation knobs 11, 12, 13, and 14 to display flame power using light-guiding member 136 on their outer periphery. For example, if the flame power of the grill burner can be adjusted in multiple steps rather than continuously, each of the multiple steps may be displayed by light emitted from extension portion 138 of light-guiding member 136 of operation knob 12, or light-guiding member 136 may not be provided on operation knob 12.

[0076] When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the amount by which the extension portion 138 is exposed forward of the decorative panel 80 may be an amount that allows a user using the stove 1 to visually recognize part of the extension portion 138. Therefore, the amount by which the extension portion 138 is exposed forward of the decorative panel 80 can be changed as desired depending on the appearance of the flame power display by the light guiding member 136, and may be more or less than in the above embodiment.

[0077] In the above embodiment, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 mesh with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26, and when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 do not mesh with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26. For example, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 may be configured to mesh with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26 regardless of the position of the operation knob 13. In this case, the light guide member 136 may be provided only on the portion of the body 132 of the operation knob 13 that is located on the upper side. In other words, the mounting portion 137 may be shaped to cover a part of the rear end portion 133 of the body 132. [Explanation of symbols]
