Description

  The present invention relates to a stove provided with a burner on a top plate, and a heating power adjustment lever for adjusting the heating power of the burner protruding forward from an operation panel on the front surface.

  As such a stove, an operation panel formed of a sheet metal is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this configuration, the heating power is adjusted not by turning the lever but by rotating a dial-type heating power adjustment knob. In contrast, the operation panel is provided with a rectangular opening that is long in the left-right direction, the heating power control lever protrudes forward from the inside of the stove through the opening, and the heating power adjustment lever slides in the left-right direction to adjust the heating power of the burner. An apparatus that performs an operation is known (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  In the case of the one provided with the heating power adjustment lever that is operated to the left and right, there is a risk that the broth enters the stove from the opening provided to project the operation lever forward. In particular, in a structure in which an electronic substrate including an operation switch is provided below the operation lever, it is necessary to prevent the broth from reaching the electronic substrate. In this way, in order to prevent the broth from entering the stove, the one described in Patent Document 2 forms a bank at the rear end portion inside the opening, and the broth enters the opening. However, this bank is configured so that the broth does not enter the stove.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-26144 (paragraph 0008, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-85085 (FIGS. 2 and 5)

  Since the operation panel described in Patent Document 2 in which a bank is formed in the opening has the operation panel made of resin, the bank can be formed relatively easily. However, when the operation panel is formed of sheet metal as in the stove described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the opening portion cannot be formed well on the bank.

  Further, even if the bank is formed as in Patent Document 2, if the amount of broth to be infiltrated is large, the broth may get over the bank and go around the back of the operation panel. When the broth enters the back side of the operation panel in this manner, there is a possibility that the broth will reach the electronic board when the electronic board is mounted.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention can provide an opening well even if the operation panel is formed of sheet metal, and even if the broth enters the stove through this opening, It is an issue to provide a stove that does not reach.

  In order to solve the above problems, the stove according to the present invention has a sheet metal operation panel on the front surface, protrudes forward from the inside, and passes through a thermal power adjusting lever that adjusts the thermal power of the burner by sliding left and right. An opening is provided in the operation panel, and a rectangular tube-shaped boiled juice intrusion prevention member that is fitted into the opening is formed of resin on a stove that incorporates an electronic board including an operation switch below the opening and behind the operation panel. Then, the broth intrusion part that collects and dripping the broth that has entered the back of the operation panel beyond this broth intrusion prevention member is collected at a predetermined position set so that the infiltrated broth does not reach the electronic board. It was formed at the rear end of the prevention member.

  If the opening is formed only by sheet metal, it is difficult to form an opening having a satisfactory function because of deep drawing. Therefore, the entire operation panel is formed of sheet metal, but a resin-made simmered intrusion preventing member is fitted into the opening so that the operation panel has the same opening as that formed of resin. In addition, even if the broth infiltrates further through the opening, the broth is led to a place where there is no actual harm in the broth concentration part.

  As the broth concentration portion, for example, a plate-like portion that hangs downward from the lower edge of the rear end of the broth intrusion prevention member, from the left and right toward the dropping position set in one place on the lower edge of the plate-like portion You may form in the shape which inclines downward.

  In that case, it is more effective to form a flow guide part that guides the broth to the dropping position at the part inclined downward from the left and right.

  In addition to dropping from the dropping position, a connecting portion to which the drain tube can be connected may be formed at the dropping position, and the boiled juice may be further guided to a place where there is no actual harm.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention can provide an opening even if the operation panel is formed of sheet metal, and even if the broth enters the stove from the opening, It can be prevented from reaching.

  Referring to FIG. 1, 1 is an example of a stove according to the present invention. The stove 1 is of a type called a table stove, and the top plate on the upper surface is provided with two gas burners 10 on the left and right. In addition, on the front surface, a left operation panel 11 and a right operation panel 2 are provided with a central grill portion interposed therebetween. The right operation panel 2 will be described as an example. The operation panel 2 is provided with a fire extinguishing button 12, and when any one of the fire extinguishing buttons 12 is pressed, the corresponding gas burner is ignited, and that point is again displayed. When the fire extinguishing button 12 is pressed, the corresponding gas burner is extinguished. The heating power of the gas burner during ignition can be increased or decreased by sliding the heating power adjustment lever 13 in the left-right direction.

  Referring to FIG. 2, operation panel 2 is made of sheet metal, and electronic unit 21 to which switches used for automatic cooking or the like are attached is attached from the front. Although not shown, the electronic unit 21 includes an electronic board on the back. When each switch is pushed, a signal corresponding to the type of operation is generated and transmitted to a controller (not shown). The number of the timer is displayed according to the signal from the troller.

  A resin holder member 15 is attached to the operation panel 2 from the back side. Although omitted in FIG. 2 to facilitate understanding, the fire extinguishing button 12 is held by the holder member 15. Similarly, a resin child lock lever 16 is attached to the holder member 15.

  As will be described later, when the broth enters from the opening of the operation panel 2, it is not desirable for the broth to reach the electronic substrate of the electronic unit 21. Therefore, a cover 17 made of sheet metal is attached to the holder member 15 so that the broth is not applied to the electronic board even if the broth is dropped from above. An opening 20 is formed so that the heating power adjusting lever 13 can protrude forward. An opening member 3 that is a resin-made intrusion prevention member is fitted into the opening 20. Reference numeral 14 denotes a resin side part.

  The shape of the opening member 3 will be described below with reference to FIG. 3, but in this drawing, the opening member 3 is shown as viewed from the rear. Referring to FIG. 5A, the opening member 3 is made of resin, and is formed below the heating power adjustment lever 13 and is formed with a bank 31 that prevents intrusion of the broth. However, the boiled juice concentration part 32 was integrally formed in the rear end part in preparation for the case where the boiled broth entered over the bank 31. The soup concentrating portion 32 is plate-shaped, and inclined portions 34 are provided from the left and right toward a dropping position 33 set at substantially the center in the left-right direction. Therefore, even if the broth passes over the bank 31, the broth flows downward along the surface of the broth concentration portion 32, and further reaches the inclined portion 34 and is guided to the dropping position 33 when reaching the inclined portion 34. The dripping position 33 is set to be located above the cover 17, and the broth dripped from the dripping position 33 falls on the upper surface of the cover 17 and flows backward along the surface of the cover 17. No boiled soup will be applied.

  In addition, as shown to the same figure (b), it is also considered that the bank 35 which is a flow guide part is provided in the inclined part 34, and boiled juice is not dripped down in the middle of the inclined part 34. FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the connecting portion 36 may be formed so that the drain tube DC can be connected to the dropping position 33. If the other end of the drain tube DC is exposed to the outside from the lower surface of the stove, the broth can be discharged below the stove without staying inside the stove.

  By the way, when the child lock lever 16 is assembled, the knob portion of the child lock lever 16 projects forward from the lower part of the operation panel 2. In order to recognize that the protruding knob portion is the child lock lever 16, conventionally, the fact is printed in advance on the operation panel 2 and then press working is performed. However, in this method, not only the printing man-hours are required, but also the printed portion has to be pressed so as not to shift, and the shifted one becomes a defective product, resulting in a decrease in yield.

  4 and 5, when the holder member 15 is molded, the display 15a is formed integrally with the holder member 15, and the display is performed with the holder member 15 assembled to the operation panel 2. 15a is exposed from the operation panel 2 so that it can be visually recognized.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described form, You may add a various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
