Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of cooking appliances, and in particular, to a knob according to the preamble of claim 1, used in a cooking appliance.
  • An existing knob is generally manufactured integrally. Therefore, the whole knob is manufactured by adopting the same material. In this way, a problem is caused. If a material suitable for electroplating is adopted to obtain a better appearance effect, the knob is easily fractured. However, if a high-strength material is adopted to avoid fracturing, a new disadvantage is caused that the electroplating cannot be performed to obtain the better appearance effect.
  • Prior art document US 2 190 577 A discloses a knob comprising a shell and a shaft lever accommodating portion, wherein the shaft lever accommodating portion is provided with a shaft hole adapting to an end portion of a shaft lever, and the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are separately manufactured.
  • An object of the present invention is to further develop a knob of the kind as described in the technical field, in such way that the efficiency of fixing the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion may be improved and the cost may also be saved.
  • the present invention puts forward a knob and a cooking appliance provided with the knob.
  • the knob put forward by the present invention includes a shell and a shaft lever accommodating portion.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion is provided with a shaft hole adapting to an end portion of a shaft lever, and the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are separately manufactured. In this way, it is possible that the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are manufactured by adopting different materials, and thereby, both the appearance and the strength of the knob may be taken into account.
  • a main body of the shaft lever accommodating portion is provided in the shell.
  • the shell is manufactured by adopting a material suitable for electroplating. In this way, the beauty of the appearance of the knob may be guaranteed.
  • the shell is manufactured by adopting an ABS plastic material or a mixed material of ABS and PC.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion is manufactured by adopting a nylon material or a metal material or a PBT material.
  • the strength of the knob may be guaranteed, thereby reducing the occurrence of fracturing in use and increasing the service life of the knob.
  • the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are fixed together in a hot riveting manner.
  • the efficiency of fixing the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion may be improved, and the cost may also be saved.
  • the shell is provided with at least one hollow cylindrical plastic protrusion; the shaft lever accommodating portion is provided with a through hole for the cylindrical plastic protrusion to pass through; and the cylindrical plastic protrusion is used to be hot riveted after passing through the corresponding through hole, so as to fix the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion together. In this way, the efficiency of fixing the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion may be improved, and the cost may also be saved.
  • the number of the cylindrical plastic protrusion is 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion includes a supporting portion, and an outer edge of the supporting portion fits an inner wall of the shell. In this way, it helps to improve the fixed effect between the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion.
  • the supporting portion is provided with at least one gap; the inner wall of the shell is provided with a protruding portion corresponding to the gap; and when the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are fixed together, the protruding portion is retained in the gap.
  • the protruding portion is retained in the gap.
  • the shell is provided with at least one hollow cylindrical plastic protrusion; the supporting portion is provided with a through hole for the cylindrical plastic protrusion to pass through; and the cylindrical plastic protrusion is used to be hot riveted after passing through the corresponding through hole, so as to fix the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion together.
  • the efficiency of fixing the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion may be improved, and the cost may also be saved.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion is provided with a protruding portion or a gap;
  • the shell is provided with a gap corresponding to the protruding portion on the shaft lever accommodating portion, or a protruding portion corresponding to the gap on the shaft lever accommodating portion; and when the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion are fixed together, the protruding portion is retained in the corresponding gap.
  • it not only helps to improve the fixed effect between the shell and the shaft lever accommodating portion, but also functions to limit a position, that is, it is convenient to determine the specific position where the shaft lever accommodating portion is retained in the shell, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
  • the present invention also puts forward a cooking appliance, which includes a valve body and a knob as described above.
  • the valve body includes a shaft lever, and the knob is retained on the shaft lever.
  • the present invention puts forward a knob embodiment, as shown in FIGs. 1 to 12 .
  • the knob embodiment includes a shell 1 and a shaft lever accommodating portion 2.
  • the shaft accommodating portion 2 is provided with a shaft hole 4 adapting to an end portion of a shaft lever 3.
  • the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 are separately manufactured, and are then assembled together.
  • the shell 1 is integrally formed.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is also integrally formed.
  • a main body of the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is provided in the shell 1.
  • the "main body” is used for limitation because the part of the shaft hole 4 of the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 extends out of the cavity enclosed by the shell 1.
  • the shell 1 is manufactured by adopting a material suitable for electroplating, such as a mixed material of ABS and PC.
  • the ABS is an abbreviation for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic.
  • the PC is an abbreviation for polycarbonate, which is a colorless and transparent amorphous thermoplastic material.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is manufactured by adopting a nylon material or a metal material or a PBT material.
  • the PBT is an abbreviation for polybutylene terephthalate.
  • the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 are fixed together in a hot riveting manner.
  • the shell 1 is provided with four hollow cylindrical plastic protrusions 5.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 includes a supporting portion 7, and the supporting portion 7 is provided with four through holes 6 for the four cylindrical plastic protrusions 5 to pass through.
  • Each of the cylindrical plastic protrusions 5 is used to be hot riveted after passing through the corresponding through hole 6, so as to fix the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 together.
  • Each of the cylindrical plastic protrusions 5 adopts a hollow structure to facilitate performing a fusion welding operation on the cylindrical plastic protrusion 5, thereby accomplishing the hot riveting.
  • FIGs. 9 to 11 The fixed effect of the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is shown in FIGs. 9 to 11 , where an outer edge of the supporting portion 7 fits an inner wall of the shell 1.
  • the whole supporting portion 7 is in a round structure.
  • the shell 1 includes an opening, a bottom wall and a circle of sidewall provided along the edge of the bottom wall, and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 enters the shell 1 through the opening.
  • the inner wall of the shell 1 facing the opening is provided with four protruding portions 9a, and the four protruding portions 9a are arranged in a "cross" shape.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is provided with four gaps 8a one-to-one corresponding to the four protruding portions 9a.
  • the bottom wall of the shell 1 is provided with a gap 8b.
  • the gap 8b is essentially a round through hole 6.
  • the shaft lever accommodating portion 2 is provided with a protruding portion 9b corresponding to the gap 8b.
  • the protruding portion 9b is retained in the corresponding gap 8b.
  • the setting of the protruding portion 9b and the gap 8b not only helps to improve the fixed effect between the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2, but also functions to limit a position, and may also mark the knob, so as to conveniently determine a rotation position in use.
  • the supporting portion 7 is provided with four gaps 8c.
  • the inner wall of the shell 1 is provided with four protruding portions (not shown) respectively corresponding to the four gaps 8c.
  • the four protruding portions are respectively retained in the corresponding gaps 8c.
  • the setting of the protruding portions and the gaps 8c helps to improve the fixed effect between the shell 1 and the shaft lever accommodating portion 2.
  • the number of the cylindrical plastic protrusion may also be 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 or 6 or more.
  • the cylindrical plastic protrusions may also be arranged asymmetrically.
  • a reinforcing rib may also be provided on the shell.
  • the present invention also puts forward a cooking appliance, which is provided with a valve body and the above knob embodiment.
  • the valve body includes a shaft lever and the knob is retained on the shaft lever.
  • the cooking appliance may be a gas stove, an induction cooker, or a stove combining a gas stove and an induction cooker.
