GAS STOVE PROVIDED WITH ANTI-DRY-BURNING DEVICE
A gas stove equipped with an anti-dry-burning device comprises the anti-dry-burning device and a gas cooker with a flameout protection device. The anti-dry-burning device is arranged at the central position of a combustor of the gas stove and is fixed on the gas stove. The anti-dry-burning device at least comprises a temperature controller, a temperature controller insulating base, a spring, an anti-dry-burning probe body and an anti-dry-burning probe base. The temperature controller is a bimetal thermostat, and is serially connected between an inductive probe of the gas cooker flameout protection device and a gas solenoid valve. The inductive probe of the gas cooker flameout protection device at least comprises a thermocouple and an ion sensor needle.
CONTROL KNOB WITH OPTICAL SHAFT ENCODER AND VISUAL FEEDBACK OF ANGULAR POSITION
A control knob assembly for a consumer appliance is provided. The control knob assembly provides a compact means for determining the angular position of the control knob and illuminating a plurality of indicators to communicate that angular position to a user of the appliance. More specifically, the control knob assembly includes an optical encoder disc that defines a plurality of teeth that are in operable communication with a plurality of optical sensors. The position of the sensors and the spacing of the plurality of teeth are configured to generate signals as the control knob is rotated that allow for the precise determination of the angular position of the control knob. Moreover, the optical encoder disc may fit inside a lighting assembly and may have a low profile, resulting in a compact control knob assembly that may easily fit within the area underneath the control knob and control panel.
GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
An apparatus includes a high-pressure tank, a controller, a valve, controlled by the controller, and a heater.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATING APPARATUS AND COOKING APPLIANCE HAVING SAME

WIRELESS TEMPERATURE CONTROL TURKEY FRYER
The present invention provides wireless temperature control turkey fryer which relates to the field of cooking apparatus technologies; the main technical scheme comprises a fryer body, a fryer lid matching the fryer body and an outer ring seat supporting the fryer body. A stove body for heating the bottom of the fryer body is disposed inside the outer ring seat. The stove body is provided with a gas disconnecting piece for cutting off a gas passage. The fryer lid is provided with an electronic thermometer. The electronic thermometer is provided with a temperature insertion pin for being inserted into the fryer body for temperature monitoring. The temperature insertion pin is in communication connection with the gas disconnecting piece such that the gas disconnecting piece is enabled to start and cut off the gas passage when a temperature in the fryer body exceeds a set threshold, achieving convenient temperature control effect.
FLAME CONTROL DEVICE FOR BURNERS
The invention relates to a flame control device for managing the operation of a gas burner apparatus, comprising: an input prepared to receive a supply signal, an output intended to be connected to said gas burner apparatus, a control unit connected to said input to be supplied by the supply signal and to said output to control the operation of said burner by means of at least one output signal, a load configured to be controlled by the control unit so as to absorb power in a varying manner over time when said input is supplied by the supply signal.
Knob assembly for cook top
A knob assembly includes a front panel, a knob located at a front side of the front panel and configured to rotate based on operation by a user, a knob shaft that is coupled to the knob and that extends through the front panel, a supporting pipe that receives the knob shaft and that supports the knob shaft, the supporting pipe being configured to maintain a position relative to the front panel, a valve configured to control supply of gas to the appliance, a valve shaft connected to the valve and configured to control the valve to adjust a flow rate of gas based on rotation of the valve shaft, and a joint that couples the knob shaft to the valve shaft and that is configured to transfer at least one of a rotational motion or a linear motion of the knob shaft to the valve shaft.
METHOD OF OUTPUTTING INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING APPLIANCE AND WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS THEREFOR
A wireless power transmission apparatus including at least one processor configured to drive a plurality of working coils to transmit power to drive a communication interface of a cooking appliance with which a communication connection has been released when the cooking appliance is moved from a first cooking zone; receive a first wireless communication signal including identification information from the cooking appliance, and drive the working coils to generate respectively corresponding magnetic fields according to a plurality of different power transmission patterns corresponding to a plurality of cooking zones; and output second cooking zone information through an output interface in response to receiving a second wireless communication signal including the identification information regarding the cooking appliance and information regarding the second cooking zone corresponding to one of the plurality of different power transmission patterns detected at a current location of the cooking appliance.
APPLIANCES WITH A MOBILE USER INTERFACE
A cooking appliance that includes a heating element, a controller, and a dock, each mounted to a panel. The cooking appliance also includes a user interface which is removably mountable to the panel, so that the user interface can be used separated from the cooking appliance. The controller is configured for detecting a proximity of the user interface relative to the panel. Further, the controller is configured for deactivating the heating element in response to the detected proximity of the user interface relative to the panel passing a deactivation threshold.
