BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stove in which an operation button for a heat source provided on the stove body is arranged on an operation panel on the front surface of the stove body, and the heat source is activated by a pressing operation of the operation button.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a stove of this type, a front bulge is formed on the operation panel so that it is substantially flush with the finger contact surface of the operation button when the operation button is not pushed in, and the operation button is exposed to the bulge. The one that opened a button hole is known. And in this thing, in order to prevent that the space on the back side of the bulge part becomes visible through the button hole when the operation button is pushed in, it is rearward along the side of the operation button to the opening edge of the button hole. A partition wall that extends is formed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the stove, when spilled boiled, boiled spilled juice may hang down on the operation panel. In this case, if the button hole is opened in the bulging part of the operation panel as in the above-mentioned conventional example, the boiled juice enters the gap between the operation button and the partition wall from the button hole, and the side surface of the operation button is There is a possibility that the operation buttons will become inoperable due to sticking to the partition wall by boiled juice.
[0004]
In addition, when another operation button is disposed adjacent to the operation button, boiled juice may enter the gap between the operation buttons and the operation buttons may stick to each other.
[0005]
In view of the above points, the present invention can effectively prevent sticking of an operation button due to boiled juice that enters between the operation button and another member including a partition wall adjacent thereto and other operation buttons. The challenge is to provide cooked stoves.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a stove in which an operation button for a heat source provided on the stove body is arranged on the operation panel on the front surface of the stove body, and the heat source is activated by pressing the operation button. The gap between the front edge of the side portion and the other member is formed on the side portion of the operation button that overlaps the projection surface of the other member adjacent to the operation button on the operation button side at the non-pressed position of the operation button. A concave portion is formed to widen a gap between the other members so as to remain as a narrowed protrusion.
[0007]
Here, the operation panel is formed with a forward bulge that is substantially flush with the finger contact surface of the operation button at the non-depressed position of the operation button, and a button hole for allowing the operation button to face the bulge is formed. When opening a partition wall that extends rearward along the side of the operation button at the opening edge of the button hole, or without forming a bulge, the opening edge of the button hole to be opened on the operation panel When forming a partition wall extending rearward along the side surface of the operation button, the concave portion is formed using the partition wall as the other member. That is, on the side surface portion of the operation button that overlaps the projection surface of the partition wall on the operation button side at the non-pressed position of the operation button, the ridge that the front edge of the side surface portion narrows the gap between the partition wall As a result, a recess that widens the gap with the partition wall is formed.
[0008]
According to the above configuration, even if boiled juice enters between the operation button and another member made up of a partition wall or other operation button adjacent to the operation button, there is a gap between the operation button and the other member. Since it is widened by the concave portion, the operation button does not stick to other members over a wide range, and operation failure of the operation button does not occur.
[0009]
In addition, when a wide gap due to the concave portion between the operation button and the other member appears in the appearance, the appearance is deteriorated, but this wide gap is blinded by the protrusions remaining on the front edge portion of the side portion of the operation button. Therefore, the appearance will not be damaged.

An opening is opened, and an exhaust port 2c for grill is opened at the rear of the outer frame 2b. Then, the left and right five virtues 5 and 5 are placed on the glass plate 2a so as to surround both the stove openings. The left-hand stove burner 3 is composed of an internal flame burner, and the right-hand stove burner 4 is composed of an external flame burner provided with a pan bottom temperature sensor 4a.
[0011]
A central grill door 6 and left and right operation panels 7L and 7R are provided on the front surface of the stove body 1. The right operation panel 7R includes a first operation button 8G for the grill, a second operation button 8R for the right-side burner 4 located on the left side thereof, and an upper grille located above the first operation button 8G. A pair of upper and lower thermal power adjustment levers 9G ₁ and 9G ₂ for the fire burner and the lower fire burner, a thermal power adjustment lever 9R for the right side burner 4 located above the second operation button 8R, and a second operation button 8R A lock lever 10 </ b> R that locks the first and second operation buttons 8 </ b> G and 8 </ b> R so as not to be operated is disposed below. Further, the left operation panel 7L has a third operation button 8L for the left-hand side burner 3, a battery case 11 located on the left side thereof, and a heating power for the left-side burner 3 located above the third operation button 8L. An adjustment lever 9L and a lock lever 10L, which is positioned below the third operation button 8L and locks the third operation button 8L so as not to be operated, are disposed.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 4, each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L includes a lever portion 81 located on the back side of each operation panel 7R, 7L extending upward from the button body having the front surface as a finger contact surface 80. Hinge pins 82 are provided on the left and right of the upper end of the lever portion 81, and the hinge pins 82 are pivotably locked to hinge receivers (not shown) formed on the back surfaces of the operation panels 7R and 7L. The operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L can be pushed back and operated with the hinge pin 82 as a fulcrum. The corresponding burners are operated to burn through the gas control devices (not shown) by pressing the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L. Note that the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L are normally biased and held at the front non-pressed position by a spring incorporated in each gas control device. Further, a claw portion 83 for operation lock protrudes from the rear end portion of the lower surface of the button body.
[0013]
Each operation panel 7R, 7L is formed with a forward bulging portion 70 that is substantially flush with the finger contact surface 80 of each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L at the non-pressed position of each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L. Each button hole 71 for opening each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L to the bulging portion 70 is opened. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, a partition wall 72 extending rearward along the side surface of each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L is formed at the opening edge of each button hole 71, and each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L is pushed in. At this time, the space behind the bulging portion 70 is prevented from being visible through the button holes 71.
[0014]
By the way, when the bulging portion 70 is formed in this way, when the spilled portion is produced, the spilled juice is easily dropped from the top 2 to the bulging portion 70. Then, the dripping boiled juice enters the button holes 71, and the side surfaces of the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L are adhered to the partition wall 72 over a wide range by the boiled juice, and the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L are May become inoperable.
[0015]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L that overlap the projection surfaces of the partition wall 72 toward the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L at the non-depressed positions of the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L. In the state where the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L are in the non-depressed position, the operation buttons 8G, 8R, which enter the shadow of the partition wall 72 projected on the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L side. Between the partition wall 72 and the front edge portion of the side surface portion, that is, the side edge portion of the finger contact surface 80 is left as a protruding portion 84 that narrows the gap between the partition wall 72 and the side surface portion of 8L. A recess 85 that widens the gap is formed.
[0016]
According to this, even if boiled juice enters between each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L and the partition wall 72 adjacent thereto, the space between each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L and the partition wall 72 Since the gap is widened by the concave portion 85, the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L are not attached to the partition wall 72 in a wide range, and the operation buttons 8G, 8R, 8L do not malfunction. Further, when a wide gap due to the recess 85 between each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L and the partition wall 72 appears in appearance, the appearance of the wide gap becomes a side surface of each operation button 8G, 8R, 8L. Since it is blindfolded by the protrusion 84 remaining on the front edge of the part, the appearance is not impaired.
[0017]
In the present embodiment, the protrusion 84 is formed so as to extend from the side edge of the finger contact surface 80 to the side edge of the front surface of the lower surface of the button body. Since it is normal to look at the operation panels 7R and 7L from the side, even if the protrusions 84 are formed only on the side edges of the finger contact surface 80, the appearance is not impaired. Further, when the partition wall 72 extending rearward along the side surface of the operation button 8G, 8R, 8L is formed at the opening edge of the button hole 71 without forming the bulging portion 70 on the operation panels 7R, 7L. Similarly to the above-described embodiment, the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L can be prevented from sticking by forming the concave portions 85 in the side portions of the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L.
[0018]
The case where the partition plate 72 is disposed adjacent to the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L has been described above. However, when other members other than the partition plate 72 such as other operation buttons are disposed adjacent to the operation buttons, the other members are also arranged. On the side surface portion of the operation button that overlaps the projection surface to the operation button side at the non-pressed position of the operation button, so that the front edge portion of the side surface portion remains as a protrusion that narrows the gap between the other members, By forming the recess that widens the gap between the other members, it is possible to prevent the operation buttons from sticking to the other members without impairing the appearance.
[0019]
In the above-described embodiment, the operation buttons 8G, 8R, and 8L are hinge-type swinging with the hinge pin 82 as a fulcrum, but when using a direct-acting operation button that moves linearly in the front-rear direction. Similarly, the present invention can be applied. The present invention is not limited to a gas stove, and the present invention can be similarly applied to an electric stove using a heat source such as an electromagnetic induction coil or a halogen lamp that is energized and operated by an operation button.
