Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating apparatus having a built-in gas stove and a gas oven range, and more particularly to a heating apparatus which is easy to open and close, and has excellent usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional heating apparatus having a built-in gas stove, etc., has the heating apparatus 1 dropped into an opening formed in a countertop 8 of a heating apparatus cabinet. The gas pipe 2 that is locked and drawn out from the inside of the main body case of the heating device 1 is connected to the primary pipe 4 drawn into the cooktop cabinet 3 through a main plug 5, and the main plug 5 is rotated. By doing so, the gas is supplied to the gas burners 6, 6, 6 or is installed so as to cut off the supply.

However, in such a conventional heating device of this kind, when opening and closing the main plug 5,
Since the opening / closing doors 7 and 7 of the kitchen cabinet 3 must be opened each time, the posture must be lowered and the above operation must be performed, which is extremely inconvenient. For this reason, it is often forgotten to close the main plug 5. It occurred and had a problem with safety measures.

The present invention was devised in view of the present situation, and an object thereof is to easily open and close the gas main valve without opening and closing the door of the heating equipment cabinet. It can be done easily with posture,
Not only can the usability of this type of heating device be improved, but it is also possible to effectively prevent forgetting to close the main plug to improve safety, and the main plug is installed at a site that was not previously available. Therefore, since the design is novel, the present invention intends to provide a heating device that can motivate purchasing.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the heating device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the main plate for supplying or shutting off gas to the gas burner is provided on the top plate surface of the heating device body. Is arranged.

[0006] In this case, the main plug is a portion which is not affected by heat from the Gotoku or grill or the oven disposed on the top plate, for example, the top, as described in claim 2. It is characterized in that it is arranged on one side of the depth side of the plate. Of course, in the present invention, the above-mentioned main plug may be arranged at one side on the front side of the top plate or at an appropriate position on the front panel.

In addition, as described in claim 3, the main plug is disposed in a state of being housed in a recessed portion of the top plate, and the upper surface of the grip of the main plug does not protrude from the top plate surface. It is desirable to dispose the lid in such a manner that the lid is opened and closed in the concave portion in which the lid is housed, so that the lid is contaminated by oil stains or the like. It is desirable to prevent this.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described in detail based on an embodiment example shown in the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2, reference numeral 10 indicates a gas stove, which is dropped into an opening (not shown) formed in the countertop 8 of the heating equipment cabinet 3. It is installed in the state.

On the right side of the depth of the top plate 11 of the gas stove 10 is formed a recess 13 which can be opened and closed via a lid 12. Inside the recess 13, the main plug 1
5 is rotatably housed.

Of course, as shown in FIG. 2, the main plug 15 directs the gas flow to a midway portion of a gas flow path which connects the gas burner 6 arranged in the gas stove 10 and the primary pipe 9 to each other. Since it is the same as the conventional gas stove 10 of this type that is mounted so as to be opened and closed, a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. Reference numeral 17 in the drawing is an exhaust hole of the grill.

Further, the main plug 15 is, in this embodiment,
The upper surface of the grip portion 16 is housed so as not to project upward from the surface of the top plate 11.

With this structure, it is possible not only to prevent the pot or frying pan from accidentally colliding with the main plug 15 during cooking, but to prevent the main plug 15 from being damaged. It is possible to reliably prevent the juice from splashing out of the pot or the like.

Furthermore, the gas stove 10 according to this embodiment
In this case, since the recess 13 in which the main plug 15 is housed can be opened and closed by the lid 12, it is possible to reliably prevent the main plug 15 from being contaminated by oil or smoke scattered during cooking. The gas stove 10 can be used in a clean state.

As described above, in the gas stove 10 according to this embodiment, since the gas main plug 15 is arranged on the top plate surface of the heating device and not affected by the heat from the gas burner 6. Since it is safe and can be opened and closed in a comfortable posture, it is easy to use, and it is possible to effectively prevent forgetting to close the main stopper 15 which is easy to forget due to troublesome thoughts. .

In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the gas stove 10 having a plurality of gas burners has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it can also be applied to a single-port tabletop gas stove.

[0017]

As described above, in the heating device according to the first aspect of the invention, the main plate for supplying or shutting off the gas to the gas burner is arranged on the top plate surface of the heating device body. You can easily do it in a comfortable posture while standing without opening and closing the door of the counter cabinet,
Not only can the usability of this type of heating device be improved, but it is also possible to effectively prevent forgetting to close the main plug to improve safety, and the main plug is installed at a site that was not previously available. Since it is innovative in terms of design, it can also motivate purchasing.

Further, in the heating device according to the second aspect of the invention, the main plug is arranged at a portion which is not affected by heat from the Gotoku, the grill or the oven arranged on the top plate. , High safety.

Further, in the heating device according to a third aspect of the present invention, the main plug is arranged in a state of being housed in a recessed portion of the top plate, and the upper surface of the grip of the main plug does not protrude from the top plate surface. It is possible to prevent the pot and frying pan from accidentally colliding with the main stopper during cooking and damaging the main stopper.Moreover, the impact causes the cooked food or juice to splash from the pan. It can be surely prevented.

Furthermore, in the heating device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the lid is arranged to be openable and closable in the recess for accommodating the main plug, the main plug is contaminated by oil stains or the like. Can be reliably prevented.
