To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a stove with foldable function. Through a specific folding design, this stove is easier and less time-consuming to fold and unfold compared to modular portable stoves. Additionally, the use of spacers ensures a flat surface after folding. Furthermore, the stove includes a drawer-type ashtray that solves the issue of damage to the ground environment and is also easier to clean.
To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
In some embodiments, it also includes an upper cover plate located on the upper side of the mesh screen, wherein a pair of side edges of the upper cover plate extend downwards with a locking groove adapted to the opening on the upper side of the mesh screen, and a handle extends outwards on a pair of side edges of the upper cover plate.
In some embodiments, the length of the front and rear side panels is the same, the length of the left and right side panels is the same, and the length of the front side panel is greater than the length of the left side panel. The front side panel, rear side panel, left side panel, and right side panel form a rectangle around them.
In some embodiments, the ashtray drawer is arranged on the base.
In some embodiments, the ashtray is provided with a grip.
In some embodiments, the inner side of the base is equipped with a guide slope corresponding to the ashtray:
In some embodiments, the base is provided with an air inlet.
In some embodiments, the base, mesh screen, and upper cover plate are all hardware components.
