1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a gas valve switch structure of a gas stove.
2. Description of the Related Prior Art
The closest prior art of which the applicant is aware is disclosed in the Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 273879, entitled by “Gas Switch Device of a Water Heater”, which discloses two magnetic members that are mounted in a water disk to actuate a transmission member so that the transmission member is deflected. The deflected transmission member drives a valve rod to displace linearly to open a hole which is used to control the valve.
However, such a conventional switch device has the following disadvantages.
1. The magnetic capacity of the magnetic member easily reduces during long-term utilization, so that the valve cannot be closed completely, thereby affecting the safety of use.
2. The two magnetic members are easily displaced during operation, so that the two magnetic members are not aligned with each other, thereby reducing the magnetic capacity, so that the valve cannot be closed completely.
3. The closing action of the magnetic member is easily affected by other iron members, so that the valve cannot be closed completely.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a gas valve switch structure of a gas stove, wherein two electromagnetic valves are used to control upper and lower fixing pieces, thereby controlling input and output of gas, so as to achieve an electrical double safety switch.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a gas valve switch structure of a gas stove, wherein a control bolt is used to control input of gas into a female base, thereby achieving a manually operated safety switch.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a gas valve switch structure of a gas stove, wherein the top base has a pressure outlet hole and a pressure inlet hole for detecting pressure of inlet gas and outlet gas thereby facilitating adjusting the pressure of gas.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a Gas valve switch structure of a gas stove, wherein the female base has two sides each defining a side hole for fitting a warming stove with different outlet directions.
In accordance with one aspect of the present intention, there is provided a gas valve switch structure of a gas stove comprising: a top base, an aluminum plate, a sealing washer, two rubber washers, two fixing pieces, a female base, and a protective plate, wherein,
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
The top base 100 is substantially rectangular and has a bottom defining an oblong hole 407. The oblong hole 407 has a bottom defining an air draining hole 419. The top base 100 has an upper end integrally defining two trough holes 104, and a pressure outlet hole 105 and a pressure inlet hole 106 located between the two through holes 104. The two through holes 104 are each respectively fitted with a female fire electromagnetic valve 102 and a main fire electromagnetic valve 101. The main fire electromagnetic valve 101 has its top provided with a pressure regulating knob 103, wherein the female fire electromagnetic valve 102 is used to control movement of the fixing piece 201 which is located above the female base 400, and the main fire electromagnetic valve 101 is used to control movement of the fixing piece 201 which is located under the top base 100. The pressure outlet hole 105 and the pressure inlet hole 106 are each respectively screwed with a bolt 107.
The aluminum plate 300 is a rectangular piece, and has a center defining an air draining hole 301. The air draining hole 301 has one side defining a rectangular hole 302, and a plurality of circular holes 303.
The sealing washer 304 is a rectangular piece, and has a center defining an air draining hole 301. The air draining hole 301 has one side defining a rectangular hole 302, and a plurality of circular holes 303.
The rubber washer 203 is an oblong piece, and has a center integrally formed with a fixing bolt 204, and two ends each defining an air outlet hole 205, and a periphery defining a plurality of draining holes 206.
The fixing piece 201 is an oblong disk, and has a center defining a locking hole 202, and two ends each defining an air outlet hole 205.
The female base 400 is substantially rectangular, and has an inner portion integrally formed with a plurality rib walls for separating the inner portion into a first air storing chamber 408, a second air storing chamber 409, and a third air storing chamber 410. The female base 400 has one side defining a female fire air outlet hole 401 and a main fire air outlet hole 402, and the other side defining a fixing hole 405 and an air inlet hole 404, and has two ends each defining a side hole 403. The first air storing chamber 408 communicates with the air inlet hole 404. The inner portion of the female base 400 defines a channel 418 so that the second air storing chamber 409 communicates with the female fire air outlet hole 401 The female base 400 has a bottom defining an oblong hole 407. The oblong hole 407 has a bottom defining an air draining hole 419. A control bolt 411 passes through the fixing hole 405. The control bolt 411 has one end with a semi-cylindrical shape, and the other end fitted with a washer 413, and has a tail end screwed with a wrench 412. An air pressure valve 414 is secured in the first air storing chamber 408. The air pressure valve 414 is a piece having a center provided with a protruding knob 415, and the semi-cylindrical end of the control bolt 411 is rested on a lower end of the air pressure valve 414.
The protective plate 417 is substantially rectangular, and has a center defining an oblong hole 407. The oblong hole 407 has a center defining a circular recess 404.
In assembly, the oblong holes 407 of the top base 100 and the female base 400 each respectively receive a rubber washer 203, thereby closing the oblong hole 407 by the rubber washer 203. The fixing bolt 204 of the rubber washer 203 is fitted with a fixing piece 201. The fixing piece 201 defines a circular recess 406 for receiving a spring 200, so that the fixing piece 201 may be displaced on the fixing bolt 204. Then, the protective plate 417 is used for sealing the rubber washer 203 and the fixing piece 201 in the oblong bole 407 of the female base 400. Then, the top base 100 is screwed on a top of the female base 400, with the aluminum plate 300 and the sealing washer 304 being clamped between the top base 100 and the female base 400. The plurality of air storing chambers of the female base 400 are closed while the rubber washer 203 and the fixing piece 201 of the top base 100 are sealed in the oblong hole 407 of the female base 400 by provision of the aluminum plate 300 and the sealing washer 304. The gas valve switch structure of the gas stove achieves a gas triple safety switch by provision of the two electromagnetic valves and the control bolt.
It should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
