Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To facilitate positioning of the top plate of the built-in gas cooker. [Structure] In a gas cooker to be mounted on built-in furniture, the burner projects from the opening formed in the top plate, and the peripheral edge of the top plate is covered with a seal member to be fixed to the counter. An upright portion is formed on a flange portion of the lower case that constitutes an outer shell for housing that abuts the peripheral edge portion of the furniture counter opening, and the inner surface of the seal member covering the peripheral edge portion of the top plate and the upright surface press the top plate. The burner is located at the center of the top plate opening.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a member for positioning a top plate of a domestic gas cooker, and more particularly to a member for automatically placing the top plate in a predetermined position when a built-in gas appliance is installed on a furniture counter. Is.

[0002]

[Constitution and problem of conventional example]

 The construction and construction of the built-in gas appliance will be described with reference to FIG.

In a built-in gas appliance to be installed by providing an opening (not shown) on the counter 12 of furniture, a flange portion of a lower case that constitutes a lower outer shell of the main body 1 of the gas appliance is placed on the peripheral edge of the opening, and gas piping is performed. After that, adjust and cover the top plate 2 on the upper surface. In use, a plurality of stoves 4 are arranged on the upper surface of the top plate 2, an exhaust pipe 7 is located at the rear of the stove 4, and the stove 4 and the central lower part of the stove 4 are located at the front. There is an instrument plug knob 9 for controlling the gas supply amount of the grill burner for heating the grill 8 located at, and a door 10 mounted on the front surface of the grill 8 so that the handle 11 can be opened and closed.

The burner housed in the stove portion 4 of the top plate 2 is formed so as to project from the top plate surface in the central portion of the opening 5 on the top plate surface. It flows down the flame plate and the skirt at the bottom of the flame plate to the top plate surface. If the burner is not correctly positioned in the center of the top plate opening, a gap will be created between the burner and the top plate opening, and the juice will fall from this gap and collect in the lower case, corroding the material. Therefore, the burner must be correctly positioned in the center of the top plate opening. However, the top plate has a lower case built-in and is installed after connecting the pipes.Therefore, if the operator is inexperienced, it may take time to position the burner and the top plate relative to each other in order to properly position them in the central position. I had to make a match.

Since the burner is fixed to the lower case through the bracket, if the top plate is accurately placed on the lower case, the burner will be positioned at the center of the top plate opening. For this reason, methods such as fixing to the burner bracket from the opening of the top plate with screws, or fixing to the cut-and-raised surface of the peripheral edge of the lower case from the peripheral edge of the top plate with screws etc. are used. It can be applied to the case where there is a gap between the top plate opening part and the top plate, but it cannot be applied to the case without it. In the latter case, the burner may not be correctly positioned in the opening of the top plate if the left and right screws are tightened improperly, so it took skill to position them properly.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the present invention ensures that the method of fixing the burner bracket to the burner bracket from the opening of the top plate and the method of fixing to the cut-and-raised surface of the lower case peripheral edge from the peripheral edge of the top plate by screws are not correct. It is designed to be fixed.

[0007]

[Means for Attempting to Solve the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the flange of the lower case is integrally formed with the lower case, and further, a standing portion having a standing surface that rises vertically to the flange surface and faces the inner surface of the peripheral portion of the top plate is provided to cover the top plate when the top plate is covered. Align the top plate and the lower case by automatically sliding the inner surface of the seal member that fits into the peripheral edge of the plate on the upright surface, and the burner will automatically open in the center of the top plate opening. It was done so.

[0008]

[Action]

 The peripheral edge of the top plate is covered on four sides with a seal member that prevents leakage of water from the counter. The inner surface of the seal member engages with the standing surface to fix the top plate and open the top plate. The burner will automatically come to the center of the hole.

[0009]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a construction state. In the figure, the flange 14 of the lower case 13 is fixed at the peripheral edge of the opening of the counter (not shown), and the flange 14 of the lower case 13 has at least four directions in each direction. One or more standing portions 15 are provided. The burner 6 is joined to the lower case 13 via a bracket (not shown) and corresponds to the opening of the top plate.

In the figure, the upright portion 15 is shown as a claw upright shape that is integrally molded when the flange is molded, but if the upright surface is held, it is molded separately from the lower case 13 and joined as a unit. The structure may be different.

FIG. 2 is an embodiment showing a section taken along the line P-P in FIG. 1. In the figure, a standing portion 15 is provided on the upper surface of a flange 14 of a lower case 13. The peripheral portion 3 of the top plate is covered with a seal member 18 for preventing leakage of water entering from the counter 12, and the inner surface 19 of the seal member and the standing surface 16 face each other with a slight gap m therebetween.

FIG. 3 is another embodiment showing the P-P cross section of FIG. 1, in which the standing surface 16 forms a standing inclined surface 17 which is inclined with respect to the flange vertical surface, and The inner surface 19 of the seal member is also inclined x. The inner side surface 19 of the seal member and the erected inclined surface 17 face each other so as to be in contact with each other.

Therefore, if the inner surface 19 of the sealing member is pressed toward the counter while sliding on the upright surface 16, the top plate is securely fixed on the upright surface 16 and located at the center of the top plate opening. Burner comes automatically.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 By sliding the inner surface of the seal member toward the counter while sliding it to the surface of the upright part, the top plate is securely fixed on the surface of the upright part and the burner automatically comes to the center of the top plate opening. ..

The top plate is fixed to the lower case without using screws for fixing the top plate.
