Description

Gas stove

The present invention relates to a combined gas stove, and more particularly to a tool for locking different parts of the combined gas stove in a movable configuration.

There are various gas or electronic stoves to meet the needs of users. However, most of the stoves are directly fixed to a workbench on a base. Although the foregoing method is the longest way to use the stove, there are many disadvantages in this way, which are due to the limitation of the installation, and the worktable for cutting the base is used as the cover of the stove, but in such a manner The process required to disassemble the internal stove during replacement or repair is too complicated. Moreover, for today's most advanced wall-mounted furnaces, it is difficult to remove the residue from the cooking process and clean it, or it is not ideal from a health point of view and requires manual work. .

In fact, only the pan support grilles and the gas rings about the burner can be easily removed for cleaning in the dishwasher, but it is easy to get dirty under the support grid. The surface is fixed. In the patent documents FR 2 656 060, FR 2 678 849 and WO 2005/040683, it is clearly disclosed that a film layer which can absorb water, is lost or washable after use, or a disk having the same shape and size as the furnace and having an opening through which the burner passes is disclosed. To overcome at least this shortcoming.

Although this solution is simple and inexpensive, it is not very satisfactory and practical.

A first object of the invention is to propose a modular gas stove that can be easily disassembled and assembled again.

A second object of the invention is to propose a tool adapted to lock different parts of the modular gas stove in a movable manner.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a modular gas stove having a workmanship In order to collect the pollutants and residues generated during the cooking process.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a tool for collecting contaminants and residues generated during cooking, which is easy to disassemble and simple and quick to clean.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a modular gas stove having a structural design that can have a high degree of aesthetic variation.

These and other objects obtained by the modular gas stove of the present invention are set forth in the following description and attached claims.

The purpose, technical content, features and effects achieved by the present invention will be more readily understood by the detailed description of the embodiments.

Please refer to the first, second, third, fourth and seventh diagrams. The component 1 refers to a gas stove connected to a main gas supply source and located on a worktable 3. Thereafter, in order to simplify a basic unit, it will be referred to as a top. This simplification will not be repeated here.

Furthermore, for easier description, the stove 1 thereafter has a single burner 2 with its head protruding from the top surface 3. However, the stove 1 may also contain a plurality of burners 2, as shown in the eighth figure, which are arranged adjacent to each other.

Referring to the second figure, the stove 1 comprises a burner-support 101 having at least one cup-shaped structure 101.a of the burner 2, a table 102 for accommodating and located on the burner-support 101, Its use is described further below, and a grill 104 is located above the table 102 and is adapted to support the pan and the container.

According to the description, the burner-support 101 is embedded in the top surface 3 and further comprises a knob 101.b for supplying and regulating the air flow reaching the burner 2 by the supply tube 101.c.

The stove 1 is completed by a gas ring 103 and a cover 103.a of the burner 2.

As shown in the first and second figures, the table 102 has an annular section through-hole 102.a substantially at the center of the bottom surface, and an edge 102.b for preventing contaminants and cooking. The residue in the process enters the underlying top surface 3 from the edge.

The working platform 102 and the burner-support 101 are movably coupled together by means of a central element 101.d, and more preferably the central element 101.d has a truncated cone shape and is disposed on the burner 2. Around the cup-shaped structure 101.a.

The central element 101.d on the cup-shaped structure 101.a of the burner 2 can actually be placed at the center of the perforation 102.a of the work platform 102 while the work platform 102 itself is movable.

The work platform 102 can actually be rotated and repositioned in the user's direction, or in any preferred direction relative to the burner-bracket 101 supporting the work platform 102. Moreover, the work platform 102 can be located quickly and easily. The lower burner-bracket 101 is removed for easy cleaning in, for example, a dishwasher.

The center element 101.d may further have a detecting element that is not present in the illustration and that is located on the other side to define the angular position of the work platform 102.

As previously described for the center member 101.d, the work platform 102 can be any shape and size, and regardless of the shape or size of the burner-bracket 101, can be covered by the work platform 102, thereby achieving the stove 1 Personalization and aesthetic variability.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the work platform 102 is essentially rectangular (see first or second).

A grill 104 for supporting the pan and the container is simply supported on the periphery 102.b of the work platform 102 by the foot member 104.c, as shown in the second figure.

However, the grille 104 is integrally formed with the work platform 102 instead of being movably supported on the periphery 102.b of the work platform 102.

The third figure is a schematic view of another embodiment of the present invention. In the third figure, the branches 104.a of the grill 104 are integrated and secured to the work platform 102.

A further variation of the invention (see Figure 5) is that the branches 104.a of the grill 104 are secured to the work platform 102 by means of hinges 104.b for easy lifting and lowering.

This solution makes it possible to stack more than two working platforms 102 and The largest reduction in body size makes them easy to accept and clean in the dishwasher (see Figures 5 and 6).

Moreover, according to this change, the branch 104.a can be replaced by branches of other shapes, sizes and lengths, and thus is more suitable for supporting the actual shape of the pan and the container, such as a boiled fish pot or a Pyrex glass plate ( Pyrex dishes), and more stove patterns can be obtained with only a few component parts to choose from.

The work platform 102 and the grill 104 can be made of a material that is resistant to high temperatures and has an easy cleaning, such as aluminum or ceramic.

Other variations of the stove 1 according to the present invention can be easily achieved by those skilled in the art, and such changes are not so far from the scope of the novel concept of the present invention, which is obvious in actual implementation. In the case of the invention, the several constituent elements previously described may be replaced by elements of technical equivalence.

As far as the work platform 102 is concerned, for example, the circumference 102.b of the gravy and residue generated to accommodate the cooking process can be simply replaced with a concave surface to prevent the residue from falling to the top surface 3 (see the fourth figure).

Furthermore, the burner-bracket 101, not shown in the drawings, can be simply supported on the top surface 3 in place of the previously described embedding method (see the seventh diagram).

In the first example, the housing does not necessarily need to be disposed on the top surface 3 to embed the burner-bracket 101. However, in the example of the second solution, the top surface 3 of the base unit has The perforations 201, 202 of reduced cross-sectional dimensions are each provided for housing the burner 2 and the adjustment knob 101.b, thereby allowing the top surface 3 to remain substantially integral.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any changes or modifications of the features and spirits of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
