Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a gas stove, and more particularly to a flow regulating valve of a gas stove.
- Gas stoves such as barbecue grills or kitchen gas stoves are the most commonly used stoves. The reason is, compared to electric heating stoves, gas stoves have higher heat energy generated by burning gas, so the heating time and the response time of flames adjusting are faster than those of electric heating stoves.
- a conventional gas stove includes a burner, a manual flow regulating valve and a knob.
- press the knob When in use, press the knob first and rotate to have gas flowing through the manual flow regulating valve to the burner to ignite flames and then for cooking.
- the gas flow is regulated by the manual flow regulating valve to adjust the flames output from the burner.
- a purpose of the present invention is to provide a flow regulating valve of a gas stove that can be applied to automatic control.
- the present invention provides a flow regulating valve of a gas stove, including a valve member, a plug member, a connecting member, a fixed base, and a stepper motor.
- the valve member has an inlet hole, an outlet hole, and a chamber which respectively communicates with the inlet hole and the outlet hole.
- the valve member has a joint end which is provided with an opening communicating with the chamber.
- the plug member rotatably provided in the chamber of the valve member has an axial bore in an axial direction and a flow regulating structure in a radial direction.
- the axial bore corresponds to the outlet hole and communicates with the flow regulating structure, and the flow regulating structure corresponds to the inlet hole.
- the plug member has a connecting end facing away from the axial bore and corresponding to the opening of the joint end.
- the connecting member that is disposed on the connecting end has a block in a radial direction, and at least a part of the block is located outside the opening of the joint end.
- the fixed base has a first side and a second side positioned back-to-back. The first side is engaged with the joint end of the valve member.
- the fixed base further has a through hole communicating with the first side and the second side and corresponding to the opening. A wall of the through hole is provided with a first block section and a second block section, and a space for rotating the block is formed between the first block section and the second block section.
- the connecting member passes through the through hole, and at least a part of the block is in the space to limit a rotating angle of the plug member.
- the stepper motor that includes a motor body and a rotating shaft is connected to the second side of the fixed base, and the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting member.
- An advantage of the present invention is to form a modular flow regulating valve by engaging the stepper motor with the valve member through the fixed base. And, the rotating shaft of the stepper motor drives the connecting member to rotate, the connecting member then drives the plug member to rotate, resulting in the flow regulating structure of the plug member rotating relative to the inlet hole of the valve member to regulate the flow rate of the gas, so that the automatic control of the gas flow can be achieved and gas stoves are more convenient to use.
- the first block section and the second block section of the fixed base can further limit the rotating angle of the plug member, so that the rotating position of the plug member can be determined.

- a head of one bolt 50 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 524.
- the two bores 48 are both located on the inner face of the receiving cavity 524 so that two heads of the two bolts 50 can be both accommodated in the receiving cavity 524.
- each of the first joint parts 54 has a connecting section 542 and an engaging section 544.
- Each of the connecting sections 542 is located between one engaging section 544 and the corresponding one side wall 522 of the base body 52, and each connecting section 542 has a plurality of reinforced ribs.
- a thickness A of each connecting section 542 is greater than a thickness B of each engaging section 544.
- the thickness A of each connecting section 542 increases gradually from each engaging section 544 to the corresponding one side wall 522 of the base body 52, whereby a structural strength of the first joint part 54 increases.
- Each of the engaging sections 544 of the first joint parts 54 has a threaded hole 546 (shown in FIG. 3 .)
- the stepper motor 60 includes a motor body 62 and a rotating shaft 64. There are a stator and a rotor inside the motor body 62 (not shown in figures).

- the second rotating direction D2 is opposite to the first rotating direction D1, and a number of the third predetermined steps is greater than or equal to the sum of the first predetermined steps and the second predetermined steps, such that the rotating shaft 64 drives the connecting member 30 to rotate along the second direction and the block 32 is back to the origin position P0.
- the number of the third predetermined steps is greater than the sum of the first predetermined steps and the second predetermined steps, so that the block 32 can abut against the first block section 462a to ensure that the block 32 moves back to the origin position P0 to block the gas flow.
- the sum of the steps in the second rotating direction D2 is greater than that in the first rotating direction D1, it is ensured that the block 32 is back to the origin position P0.
- the flow regulating valve of the gas stove of the present invention controls gas flow through the stepper motor to achieve the automatic control of the gas stove.
- the valve member and the motor body are connected to each other through the fixed base to achieve the modular flow regulating valve, which is advantageous for assembly in the gas stove.
