Description

  The present invention relates to a glass top stove in which a top plate that covers an upper surface of a stove housing is made of glass.

  In recent years, a glass top stove with a top plate made of glass has come to be marketed because it has a beautiful appearance and good cleanability. The top plate is made of tempered glass having high impact resistance or crystallized glass having excellent heat resistance.

  The strength of the top plate made of crystallized glass or the top plate made of tempered glass decreases when the thickness is reduced for weight reduction. For this reason, for example, when maintenance or cleaning work of the range hood placed above the stove, when a person accidentally puts his feet on the top plate, or heavy parts fall on the top plate from a high place, The top plate may break.

  Therefore, as a glass top stove with measures to prevent cracking of the top plate, conventionally, a support member that supports the top plate from the lower position of Gotoku is provided, and this support member is connected to the bottom of the stove housing. (See Patent Document 1). According to this configuration, the load applied to the top plate via the five virtues is supported by the support member, and the top plate is prevented from being bent, so that the load resistance of the top plate is improved.

JP 2004-93056 A

  However, as in Patent Document 1, in the configuration in which the load applied to the top plate is partially supported by the edge of the opening for exposing the burner or the like, due to an impact such as when a heavy component falls directly on the top plate It is impossible to prevent the top plate from cracking. In the unlikely event that the top plate is cracked, it becomes difficult to support the five virtues stably around the burner. For this reason, even if the burner functions normally, if the top plate is broken, the cooking container cannot be stably placed on the five virtues, and cooking cannot be performed.

  In view of the above points, the present invention not only can dramatically reduce the load from the five virtues on the glass top plate to prevent the top plate from cracking, but even if the top plate is broken. It aims at providing the glass top stove which can place a cooking container stably in five virtue and can perform cooking.

  The present invention relates to a bottomed stove casing opened upward, a gas burner having a burner head installed in the stove casing and having a plurality of flame holes formed on the outer periphery, and the burner head exposed on the top plate. A glass top stove comprising a glass top plate having a burner opening to cover the upper surface of the stove housing and a virtues placed around the burner opening, wherein the burner opening is around the burner opening. A seating member provided at a position separated from the seat, for seating the virtues, a penetrating member penetrating the top plate in the vertical direction and connected to the upper end side of the seating member, and standing at the bottom of the stove housing And a support member that supports the seating member from directly below through the penetrating member.

  According to the above configuration, the seating member is connected to the support member by the penetrating member. Thereby, the load from the five virtues seated on the seating member is applied to the bottom of the stove housing through the support member without passing through the top plate. Since the load from the virtues does not hang on the top plate, even if a heavy cooking container is placed on the virtues and the food is placed on the virtues, the top plate will not bend. Can be reliably prevented.

  Furthermore, since the virtues are supported by the support member via the seating member and the penetrating member, the cooking container can be stably placed on the virtues even if the top plate is broken. Therefore, if the burner functions normally, cooking can be performed without any problem even if the top plate is broken.

  Further, in the present invention, the five virtues are configured such that a plurality of five virgin claws are connected to and supported by a ring-shaped virtuosity frame, the virtues frame is seated on the seat member, and the seat member extends along the virtues frame. It is preferable that a plurality of the penetrating member and the supporting member are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the seating member. Since the seating member has a shape extending along the five virtue frames, the seating member and the five virtue frames can be seen integrally from the outside when the seating member is seated on the seating member. Deterioration of the appearance of the plate can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the seating member has a shape extending along the five virtue frames, not only the seating member receives a load from the five virtues in a relatively wide area, but also the load can be distributed to a plurality of support members. .

  By the way, when the seating member has a shape extending along the five virtue frames, the secondary air for combustion directed to the burner along the upper surface of the top plate hits the seating member and cannot go straight, and the secondary air for smooth combustion Flow may be hindered. Therefore, by providing the seating member with a communicating portion that communicates from the outer edge side to the inner edge side, the secondary combustion air is directed to the burner through the communicating portion, so that The secondary air is smoothly supplied.

  Further, in the present invention, a plurality of the seating members may be provided at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the five virtue frames. As a result, even if spillage or the like flows down on the top plate between the seating member and the burner opening, it easily flows out from between the plurality of seating members to the outside of the seating member, and between the seating member and the burner opening. It is possible to reduce the adhesion of dirt to the surface.

  The glass top stove of this embodiment has a shape shown in plan view in FIG. 1, for example, a drop-in type equipped with a glass top plate 1 made of crystallized glass or the like having excellent heat resistance. It is a stove.

  The top plate 1 has a burner opening 2. A gas burner 4 is accommodated in the stove casing 3, and a burner head 5 provided in the gas burner 4 is exposed from the burner opening 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the stove housing 3 has a flange 6 on the outer periphery thereof and is suspended from a countertop 7 of the system kitchen.

  The gas burner 4 is fixed to a pedestal (not shown) provided on the bottom plate 8 of the stove housing 3, and as shown in FIG. 2, many flame holes are formed on the outer periphery of the burner head 5 positioned concentrically with the burner opening 2. In addition, a so-called external flame type is adopted. A gap between the lower side of the burner head 5 and the inner peripheral edge of the burner opening 2 of the top plate 1 is closed by a removable closing plate 9.

  In addition, the protection member 10 is provided in the inner periphery of the burner opening 2 over the perimeter. The protective member 10 not only prevents the burner opening 2 from being damaged, but also prevents boiled juice or the like spilled from a cooking container (not shown) such as a pan during cooking from flowing into the stove casing 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation knob 11 for operating the gas burner 4 is disposed on the front side of the top plate 1, and a cooking container is placed in correspondence with the burner opening 2. Gotoku 12 is placed.

  The five virtues 12 are composed of a plurality of five virgin claws 13 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction and an annular five virtuosity frame 14 connecting the five virgin claws 13. In the present embodiment, the five virtue claws 13 and the five virtue frames 14 are each formed of an iron-based material (for example, stainless steel). The virtuosity claw 13 is formed in a plate shape, and includes an extension support portion 15 that extends substantially horizontally to support the cooking container and a leg portion 16 that extends downward from the extension support portion 15. As shown in FIG. 2, the virtually frame 14 is formed of a rod-like body having a quadrangular sectional view, and the lower edge thereof is a contact surface 17. And the 5 virtue claw 13 and the 5 virtue frame 14 are integrally formed by joining the lower end part of the leg part 16 of the 5 virtue claw 13 to the 5 virtue frame 14 by welding.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a seating member 18 for seating the virtues 12 is provided on the top plate 1. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of seating members 18 are arranged outside the burner opening 2 so as to surround the burner opening 2 with a predetermined distance. Each seat member 18 extends in a shape that curves along the shape of the virtuosity frame 14, and is provided at a predetermined interval from each other. Each seating member 18 prevents the virtues 12 from coming into direct contact with the top plate 1 and can prevent the top plate 1 from being damaged.

  Although not shown, the seating member 18 may be formed as a single ring, but when the broth spilled from the cooking container on the virtues 12 flows between the burner opening 2 and the seating member 18, If a plurality of seating members 18 are arranged at a predetermined interval as in the present embodiment, the broth can flow out to the outside of the seating member 18 through the gap between the adjacent seating members 18. This is advantageous in that it is possible to prevent the boiled juice from accumulating inside the member 18.

  The seating member 18 is formed of a metal (for example, stainless steel) belt-like plate, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flat seating surface 19 that contacts and seats the contact surface 17 of the virtually frame 14; And a standing wall 20 that rises from the side edge of the seating surface 19. As shown in FIG. 2, the standing wall 20 faces the inner peripheral wall surface of the virtuosity frame 14, and prevents the displacement of the virtuosity frame 14 seated on the seating surface 19.

  The standing wall 20 has a plurality of recesses 21 whose upper ends are open. The recesses 21 are provided corresponding to the five virtue claws 13, and when the virtue 12 is seated on the seating member 18, the leg portions 16 of the virtue claws 13 are locked to the recesses 21. Thereby, the virtues 12 in the state of being seated on the seating member 18 are prevented from rotating. According to this, when the small flame hole for preventing the sword of the virtuosity claw 13 among the flame holes of the burner head 5 is provided, the virtuosity claw 13 is surely associated with the position of the small flame hole. Can do.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a pair of support members 22 is provided immediately below each seating member 18. The lower end of each support member 22 is connected to the bottom plate 8 of the stove housing 3, and the seating member 18 is connected to the upper end by a screw member 23. The screw member 23 is inserted into a hole 24 formed in the top plate 1, and the lower end is screwed into the support member 22. A spacer 25 is mounted on the screw member 23 to maintain the distance between the seating member 18 and the support member 22 to be larger than the thickness of the top plate 1. In addition, the said screw member 23 and the said spacer 25 comprise the penetration member of this invention.

  A packing 26 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the bottom surface of the seating member 18 is provided between the top plate 1 and the seating member 18, and the spacer 25 passes through the packing 26 and the upper edge is in contact with the seating member 18. . Further, the lower edge of the spacer 25 is in contact with the support member 22, and a packing 27 having cushioning properties is also provided on the outer periphery of the spacer 25 between the top plate 1 and the support member.

  According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, since the seating member 18 is provided along the five virtue frame 14, a sense of unity with the five virtue frame 14 is obtained, and the top plate 1 by providing the seating member 18 The appearance does not deteriorate. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the seating member 18 can be provided at a relatively distant position outside the burner opening 2 on the top board 1, so that the diameter of the virtually frame 14 is increased to improve stability. be able to. At this time, since a relatively large gap is formed between the burner opening 2 and the seating member 18, the periphery of the burner head 5 is visually simplified and the appearance is improved.

  Further, a seating member 18 on which the virtues 12 are seated is connected to the support member 22 by a screw member 23, and a distance between the seating member 18 and the support member is larger than the thickness of the top plate 1 by a spacer 25 attached to the screw member 23. Therefore, the shock when the cooking container is vigorously moved on the virtues 12 and the loads of the virtues 12 and the cooking containers are hardly applied to the top plate 1.

  And even if the top plate 1 is removed from the stove casing 3, the state where the seating member 18 is connected to the support member 22 via the screw member 23 and the spacer 25 is maintained as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if the top plate 1 is broken, a cooking container having a weight on the virtues 12 can be stably placed and cooking can be performed.

  Since the seating member 18 is separate from the virtues 12, it is not necessary to use the same material as the virtues 12. For example, if the seat member 18 is formed using a metal (for example, aluminum) that is lighter than the virtues 12, Advantageously, the load on the plate 1 can be reduced.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the five virtue frames 14 are formed in a circular shape in plan view, and a plurality of seating members 18 having a curved shape are provided corresponding thereto. However, the shape of the seating member of the present invention may correspond to the shape of the five virtue frames. That is, although not shown, if the virtually frame is formed in a square shape in plan view, the seating member can be in a square shape in plan view, or a plurality of linear seating members can be provided along each side of the virtually frame. You may arrange | position with a predetermined space | interval. In addition, when the virtuosity frame is formed in a square shape in plan view, the rotator of the virtues like the concave portion 21 is not necessary.

  Moreover, although the seating member 18 of this embodiment is extended along the five virtue frames 14, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, a communication portion 28 that communicates from the outer edge side of the seating member 18 to the inner edge side is provided. A plurality of the seating surface 19 and the standing wall 20 may be provided by notching. According to this, the secondary air at the time of combustion of each flame hole of the burner head 5 smoothly flows through the communication portion 28, and a sufficient amount of secondary air for combustion can be supplied. Furthermore, the provision of the communication portion 28 also has an advantage that the spilled simmered juice easily flows out from the inside of the seating member 18 through the communication portion 28.

  As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the virtues 30 include a plate-like virtuosity frame 31, a seating member 32 formed in a substantially square shape in cross-section can be employed.

  That is, when the lower surface of the virtually frame 31 is the contact surface 33 and the hanging wall 34 bent downward is formed on the outer periphery of the virtually frame 31, the upper surface of the seating member 32 is used as the seating surface 35. Sit down. According to this, the hanging wall 34 of the five virtue frame 31 is in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the seating member 32, and the positional displacement of the five virtue frame 31 seated on the seating surface 35 is surely prevented, and the seating member 32 can be easily It can be made into a shape and is inexpensive. Furthermore, since the seat member 32 is in a state in which the five virtue frames 31 are covered, the seat member 32 is not visually recognized from the outside, and the aesthetic appearance can be improved.

  Furthermore, although not shown, if a groove-like communication portion is formed on the bottom surface of the seating member 32 and the communication portion allows air to flow between the outer edge and the inner edge of the seating member 32, sufficient combustion is achieved when the burner burns. The secondary air can be supplied, and the spilled broth can flow out of the seating member 32 through the communicating portion.
