[0069] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0070] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0071] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0072] In order to solve the problems of poor interactive experience of operation interface, large size and lack of intelligence in household appliances in the prior art, especially cooking appliances, such as rice cookers, electric pressure cookers, food processors, induction cookers, etc., the present invention provides a household appliance and its operation method and intelligent control method. The following operation is a cooking operation.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the household appliance includes a housing 10, a display panel 20, a control switch 22, a control unit 40, a working state switching unit 50, a light source module 30 for irradiating the display panel 20, and at least one actuator used in the household appliance. The display panel 20 is arranged on the housing 10, and the display panel 20 has a display area. The display area has at least two stacked display interfaces. Different display interfaces are provided with a plurality of display marks 212 of different sizes and / or numbers. The display marks 212 on different display interfaces are displayed under the irradiation of light of different wavelengths respectively; the light source module 30 can selectively emit light of different wavelengths to make the display marks of the same layer in the same time period The display mark 212 is displayed when it senses the light of the corresponding wavelength; the control unit 40 is connected to the light source module 30 to adjust the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30, and the control unit 40 calls the control program corresponding to the light emission wavelength after determining the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30, and the control program has a control logic corresponding to the display mark 212 currently displayed; the working state switching unit 50 adjusts the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30 and calls the corresponding control program through the control unit 40; the control switch 22 is connected to the control unit 40; the control unit 40 is connected to the actuator to control the actuator to perform corresponding operations through the control program when the control switch 22 is triggered.

[0074] It should be noted that the "color rendering" referred to here refers to "display color". That is, when the light source module 30 does not emit light, the display mark 212 cannot be seen by the naked eye. Only when the light of the corresponding wavelength illuminates the display mark 212, the display mark 212 can be seen by the naked eye.

[0075] In this way, the light source module 30 and the display mark 212 are used to realize color display, replacing the original dot matrix screen. In this way, it can not only effectively reduce the cost of household appliances, but also make the interface design of the appliance more miniaturized, and use its operation method and intelligent control method to greatly improve the interactive experience and intelligent requirements of small household appliances. At the same time, it can also greatly reduce the failure rate, effectively reduce the probability of maintenance, and improve user satisfaction. In addition, the display panel 20 of the above structure can double, triple or even more the power menu in a limited display area, and the operation is simple, and the interactive experience is very good.

[0076] Optionally, the display mark 212 is formed by processing a photosensitive medium material, a filter medium material, or a chromophore material. For a photosensitive medium, the corresponding light irradiated onto the medium can excite the medium to develop color to display a pattern. For a filter medium, due to the different wavelengths of light, through the principle of filtering, two or more optical materials are used at the same position, and the wavelengths of the light sources are different, so that different contents are displayed in color; for a chromophore material, the optical material is a coating material containing different chromophores, and this material is combined with a transparent material to only allow light of a specific wavelength to pass through and display color. Optionally, the display mark 212 includes display words and / or display patterns.

[0077] It should be noted that the number and size of the display marks 212 on different display interfaces are inconsistent, so that multiple choices can be provided to the user. A display interface with rich functions can be provided for young people, and a display interface with simplified functions can be provided for the convenience of the elderly. Similarly, a large font interface can be provided for the elderly and a small font interface can be provided for the young by changing the font size.

[0078] Specifically, the first display interface is a simplified interface, the second display interface is a complex interface, and the number of display marks 212 in the simplified interface is less than the number of display marks 212 in the complex interface.

[0079] Furthermore, the size of the display mark 212 in the simplified interface is larger than the size of the display mark 212 in the complex interface.

[0080] exist Figures 2 to 7 In the embodiment shown, the display interface is two layers, and the light source module 30 can selectively display the first wavelength light and the second wavelength light, respectively used to display the two layers of the display interface. When the light source module 30 emits the first wavelength light, the first display mark 212 at the same location is colored, and the second display mark 212 is hidden; when the light source module 30 emits the second wavelength light, the second display mark 212 at the same location is colored, and the first display mark 212 is hidden.

[0081] Specifically, the first wavelength of light can be set to blue light; the second wavelength of light can be set to red light. Taking the chromophore material as an example, when the light source module 30 emits a long wave (red light), the display mark 212 of the red chromophore material appears, and other parts are not colored. When the light source module 30 emits a short wave (blue light), the display mark 212 of the blue chromophore material appears, and other parts are not colored. "Heating" and "Cooling" are printed in the same place. When the red light is on, only "Heating" is displayed, and when the blue light is on, only "Cooling" is displayed. The interface is simple and easy to understand.

[0082] by Figure 2 and Figure 3 For example, when the red light is emitted, the display panel 20 is displayed as follows Figure 2 As shown, ai is only for illustration and can be set according to the actual product, such as "stirring". When the blue light is emitted, the display panel 20 is displayed as Figure 3 As shown, AD is only for illustration and can be set according to the actual product. Among them, a and A are located at the same or adjacent positions, and the displayed texts are usually different, but can also be the same individually.

[0083] Optionally, the display mark 212 may also be a progress display for each functional interface.

[0084] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by changing the wavelength of the light source module 30, the number of display marks 212 on different display interfaces of the display panel 20 is different. In this way, at the same position of the display panel 20, there are not necessarily two display marks 212 overlapping each other. Figure 2 , the number of display marks 212 is 9. Figure 3 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the number of display marks 212 is 4. That is, the number of display marks 212 is inconsistent in different display interfaces.

[0085] Moreover, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, not only are the numbers of display marks 212 on the two display interfaces different, but the sizes of the display marks 212 also vary.

[0086] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the number of display marks 212 in the two display interfaces is the same. However, the sizes of the display marks 212 in different display interfaces are different. The two display marks 212 are overlapped with each other. In this way, when the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30 is switched, the two display marks 212 can switch colors.

[0087] exist Figure 7In the illustrated embodiment, the number of display marks 212 of the two display interfaces is the same. However, in different display interfaces, the positions of the display marks 212 are slightly shifted, and the two are adjacent to each other. In this way, when the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30 is switched, the two display marks 212 can switch colors. The benefit of adjacent settings is that the coating difficulty is reduced, but the corresponding occupied size will become larger, and it needs to be selected according to the needs of the specific actual product. In addition, the sizes of the display marks 212 in different display interfaces may also be different.

[0088] In a specific embodiment not shown in the figure, the two display marks 212 at the same location are partially overlapped. Similarly, when the light wavelength of the light source module 30 is switched, the two display marks 212 can also switch colors.

[0089] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, Figure 3 For example, the function represented by AD can also be replaced by DG. The specific function can be adjusted according to the personalized needs of the user and can be selected or changed through operations.

[0090] exist Figure 4 In the specific implementation shown, the display panel 20 further includes a display film 21, and the display mark 212 is coated on the display film 21. In this way, a substrate is provided for coating the display mark 212, which is convenient for processing.

[0091] Specifically, the display mark 212 is located on a side of the display film 21 close to the front surface of the display panel 20 .

[0092] exist Figure 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the light source module 30 has a plurality of LED lamps, and one or more LED lamps are correspondingly arranged at each display mark 212. When there are a plurality of LED lamps, different LED lamps can light up different colors. When there is only one LED lamp, the LED lamp can switch to display different colors (i.e., switch to light of different wavelengths).

[0093] In an optional embodiment not shown in the figure, the display mark 212 is coated on both the front and rear surfaces of the display film 21. In this way, the display mark 212 can be processed on the front and rear surfaces of the display film 21 at the same time, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0094] exist Figure 5 In the specific embodiment shown, the display film 21 is not provided in the display panel 20, and the display mark 212 is directly coated on the surface of the display panel 20 or embedded in the interior of the display panel 20. The display panel 20 of such a structure has a higher integration degree and is more cost-effective.

[0095] exist Figure 5In the specific embodiment shown, the light source module 30 is a light source panel, and the light source panel can adjust the wavelength. Similar to LED lights that can display different colors, only one light source panel is required to achieve light switching, and assembly is simpler.

[0096] The household appliance of the present invention further includes at least one replacement display film, which can be replaced with the display film 21. By replacing different replacement display films, the interface display function of the display panel 20 is further expanded, making the functions of the household appliance more abundant.

[0097] Optionally, the display film 21 and the replacement display film can be selectively plugged in and out of the display panel 20. In this way, the disassembly and assembly operation of the replacement display film is facilitated.

[0098] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the specific embodiment shown, there are multiple control switches 22, and the multiple control switches 22 are set in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple display marks 212. When the control switch 22 is triggered, the corresponding display mark 212 corresponding to the actuator is controlled by the control program to perform a corresponding operation. In this way, when a certain display interface is lit, the control switch 22 corresponding to each display mark 212 is in an available state. At this time, triggering the corresponding control switch 22 can make the corresponding actuator perform a corresponding action.

[0099] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the working state switching unit 50 sends different working state signals to trigger a simplified interface or a complex interface, and all display marks 212 in the simplified interface or the complex interface are displayed.

[0100] Optionally, the control switch 22 is located on a side of the display film 21 facing away from the front surface of the display panel 20 .

[0101] like Figure 8 In the specific embodiment shown, the household appliance further includes a display screen 60, which is connected to the control unit 40 and is used to display a corresponding control interface and / or a cooking status interface and / or a cooking guide interface on the display screen 60 according to the control program called by the control unit 40. In this way, by using the display screen 60 as an output device, the user can easily view the current operation status, understand the operation progress, and feel more intuitive. The display screen 60 is usually selected for some small household appliances that do not have too high requirements on size. If the requirements for small size are very high, there is no need to add the display screen 60.

[0102] Specifically, if Figure 8As shown, the control unit 40 includes a plurality of control modules, each of which has a different control program. When different control modules are called, the light wavelength of the light source module 30 is different. That is, when a certain control module is called, the control program of the control module enters the enabled state, and then the control switch 22 is triggered to enable the actuator to perform the corresponding operation according to the displayed function.

[0103] It should be noted that each control module has a different control program, and different control programs determine that different display interfaces can be displayed on the display screen 60. Of course, the display interface is not limited to the control interface and / or cooking status interface and / or cooking guidance interface listed above. It can also be a startup welcome interface, a fault alarm interface, etc.

[0104] From the above description, it can be known that the key point of enabling the light source module 30 to change the emission wavelength is that the working state switching unit 50 needs to give an instruction so that a certain control module in the control unit 40 is called. As for how to make the working state switching unit 50 give an instruction, multiple ways will be given below.

[0105] Method 1

[0106] The control module is selected by using a key switch or a knob switch.

[0107] In this way, the working state signal can be sent to adjust the luminous wavelength of the light source module 30 by triggering a key switch or rotating the knob switch, and the corresponding control module can be called. When the working state switching unit 50 is only a key switch or a knob switch, a control module can be called by default after powering on, and then switch to another control module after operating the key switch or the knob switch. The user can make a corresponding control module be called by pressing a button or turning a knob. For example, for an electric rice cooker, the control module corresponding to cooking can be called by default, and when the key switch or the knob switch represented by the working state switching unit 50 is triggered, it is switched to calling the control module corresponding to cooking porridge, and so on.

[0108] Of course, if the operating state switching unit 50 corresponds to a plurality of key switches, different key switches can directly call different control modules. For example, for an electric rice cooker, one key switch can call the control module corresponding to cooking rice, and another key switch can call the control module corresponding to cooking porridge, etc.

[0109] Method 2

[0110] The working state switching unit 50 includes a remote control device, which communicates with the wireless module built into the control unit 40 through wireless signals to determine the control module to be called according to the sent working state signal. In this way, the user can also communicate with the control unit 40 through the remote control device to select the working state of the household appliance by remote control.

[0111] Specifically, the remote control device is a device such as a smartphone or a remote control panel.

[0112] Method 3

[0113] In order to improve the intelligence of household appliances, avoid misoperation, and set operation permissions, the working state switching unit 50 includes a human tissue recognition device, which is connected to the human component recognition module built into the control unit 40, so as to send a working state signal to determine the control module to be called according to the received recognition information. In this way, only human information that can be recognized by the household appliance can have the authority to operate the household appliance, which can effectively avoid accidental injuries caused by children's mis-touch.

[0114] Specifically, the human tissue recognition device can use fingerprint recognition, iris recognition and other methods. Taking fingerprint recognition as an example, the index finger and middle finger can be used to call different control modules respectively to display different display interfaces. For example, for an electric rice cooker, the index finger can be used to call the control module for cooking rice, the middle finger can be used to call the control module for cooking porridge, and so on.

[0115] Method 4

[0116] In addition, the operating state switching unit 50 can also include a voice-activated switch, which is connected to the built-in voice-activated module of the control unit 40, so as to send a working state signal to determine the control module to be called according to the voice command received. Like this, according to the command of the voice, different control modules can be called to select the working state. For example, for an electric rice cooker, after the user sends the instruction of "cooking", the control module of cooking will be called by the household appliance, and the control program corresponding to cooking will be put into use.

[0117] Method 5

[0118] The working state switching unit 50 includes a weight detection element for detecting the weight of the product being cooked. The weight detection element is arranged in the housing 10. The working state signal is a weight signal. The weight detection element sends a weight signal. The control unit 40 receives the weight signal to select the control module to be called. In this way, according to the weight of the product being cooked, the control module suitable for cooking the product can be called so that the corresponding control program can be put into use. Taking the frying machine as an example, when performing the cooking operation of scrambling eggs or making pancakes, the same cooking mode cannot be used for cooking operations because the weights of the two are inconsistent. Through the weight detection element, the quality of the product being cooked can be detected. According to the quality, the corresponding control module and control program are selected, that is, the parameters such as cooking time and cooking temperature are selected to make the ingredients have a better cooking taste.

[0119] Method 6

[0120] The working state switching unit 50 includes a temperature detection element for detecting the temperature of the product being cooked. The temperature detection element is arranged in the housing 10. The working state signal is a temperature signal. The temperature detection element sends a temperature signal. The control unit 40 receives the temperature signal to select the control module to be called. In this way, the corresponding control module and control program are selected according to the temperature of the product being cooked. In a specific embodiment, when the temperature of the product being cooked is less than 20 degrees, the control module for heating is selected to heat the product to ensure that the user will not eat cold food and suffer from diarrhea.

[0121] Method 7

[0122] The working state switching unit 50 includes a solid-liquid ratio detection element for detecting the solid-liquid ratio of the cooked product. The solid-liquid ratio detection element is disposed in the housing 10. The working state signal is a solid-liquid ratio signal. The solid-liquid ratio detection element sends a solid-liquid ratio signal. The control unit 40 receives the solid-liquid ratio signal to select the control module to be called. In this way, the corresponding control module and control program can be selected according to the solid-liquid ratio of the cooked product. In a specific embodiment, when the solid-liquid ratio of the cooked product is too high, the control module for heating is selected to heat the product to reduce the solid-liquid ratio of the product.

[0123] Method 8

[0124] The working state switching unit 50 includes an appliance type detection element for detecting the types of different cooking appliances carried by the household appliance. The appliance type detection element sends an appliance type signal, and the control unit 40 receives the appliance type signal to select the control module to be called. That is, by detecting the type of the cooking appliance, the corresponding control module can be directly selected to perform the cooking operation according to the different types of the cooking appliances.

[0125] For example, cooking utensils may have different sizes, and different sizes of cooking utensils correspond to different cooking operations. Large-sized cooking utensils usually contain a large amount of ingredients, and when performing cooking operations, it is necessary to appropriately extend the cooking time and increase the cooking temperature; while in smaller cooking utensils, the amount of ingredients is usually small, and at this time, too long cooking time and cooking temperature are not required. Therefore, through the detection of the type of utensils, the control module suitable for the cooking utensils can be called, thereby improving the degree of intelligence.

[0126] According to different detection methods, there are several examples below for reference.

[0127] Embodiment 1

[0128] The cooking utensil has a trigger, and the utensil type detection element includes a trigger switch. The cooking utensil is placed in the household appliance. After the trigger switch is triggered by the trigger, the trigger switch sends a corresponding utensil type signal. In other words, a protruding structure can be provided on the cooking utensil as a trigger, and a trigger switch matching the trigger is provided in the household appliance. When the cooking utensil is placed in place, the trigger can press the trigger switch. If the match is successful, the trigger switch sends a corresponding utensil type signal, so that the corresponding control module is called.

[0129] Embodiment 2

[0130] The cooking utensil has a sensing element, and the utensil type detection element includes a sensing switch. The cooking utensil is placed in the household appliance. After the sensing switch senses the sensing element, the sensing switch sends a corresponding utensil type signal. Different sensing elements can be installed on pots and cups of different sizes. The sensing switch detects the control module and control program that the cooking utensil should call according to the different sensing elements, so as to improve the automation of the household appliance.

[0131] Example 1: A sensing element is provided on the cooker, the sensing element is a magnetic device, a magnetic sensing switch is provided on the cooker body, the type of the cooking utensil is determined by magnetic induction, and a corresponding control module is called.

[0132] Example 2: The cooker is provided with a resistance element, which is a sensing element. A resistance sensing switch for sensing resistance value is provided on the cooker body. The type of the cooking utensil is determined by sensing different resistance values, and the corresponding control module is called.

[0133] Embodiment 3

[0134] The cooking appliance has a microcontroller with a built-in wireless module, and the appliance type detection element includes a wireless receiving module. The microcontroller in the cooking appliance can set a marking program wirelessly, and the marking program records the appliance type signal to trigger the corresponding control module to be called. In other words, the microcontroller of the cooking appliance stores the appliance type signal, and the appliance type signal can be modified. The microcontroller communicates with the control unit 40 of the household appliance, so that the corresponding control module can be called. Since different control modules record different control programs, the interface display is also different according to the different control programs.

[0135] From the above content, we can see that reference Fig.10 The operation method of the household appliance includes: the working state switching unit 50 sends a working state signal; the control unit 40 receives the working state signal to adjust the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30 so that the corresponding display mark 212 is displayed; the control unit 40 calls the control program corresponding to the light emission wavelength according to the light emission wavelength of the light source module 30; according to the triggering condition of the control switch 22, the control unit 40 calls the corresponding control program to control the execution element to perform the corresponding subsequent cooking operation.

[0136] In addition to the above embodiment in which each display mark 212 corresponds to one control switch 22 , the number of control switches 22 in use can be effectively controlled by changing the specific structure of the control switch 22 .

[0137] exist Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, the control switch 22 includes a selection switch 221 and an execution switch 222. The selection switch 221 is used to select one or more of the multiple display marks 212 to be in an activated state, and the execution switch 222 is used to execute the operation corresponding to the activated display mark 212. Figure 2 and 3 The main difference between the illustrated embodiments is that, in the same time period, in the same display interface, only all or part of the display marks 212 are colored; the control switch 22 is connected to the control unit 40 and one or more of them are selected to be in an activated state through the control unit 40; the control unit 40 is connected to the actuator so that when the control switch 22 is triggered, the corresponding actuator in the activated state is controlled by the control program to perform corresponding operations.

[0138] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the work state switching unit 50 sends different work state signals to trigger a simplified interface or a complex interface, and part or all of the display marks 212 in the simplified interface or the complex interface are activated by the triggering of the control switch 22. According to the specific structure of the control switch 22, three reference embodiments are provided.

[0142] Specifically, the button switch of the working state switching unit 50 can be used to select interface A or B. The button switch corresponding to the selection switch 221 is used to select a display mark 212 to display (such as brighter than other display marks 212) after a certain interface is selected, such as interface A is selected. The button switch corresponding to the execution switch 222 is used to confirm after a certain display mark 212 is selected. For example, after the "heating" display mark 212 is selected, pressing the button switch corresponding to the execution switch 222 executes the heating function, and pressing it again cancels the heating function, and so on.

[0143] Reference Example 2

[0145] For example, after powering on, rotate the knob switch first to switch between interfaces A and B. When interface A is needed, press the button switch when it stays on interface A, and interface A will be fixed at this time (if you make a wrong selection, press the button switch again to rotate the interface again). If you make no wrong selection, rotate the knob switch again to activate a display mark 212. After confirmation, press the button switch again to activate its corresponding function.

[0146] Optionally, the push button switch is arranged in the center of the knob switch, which not only has a compact structure, but also has a beautiful appearance and is easy to install.

[0147] exist Fig.13 In the specific embodiment shown, the control switch 22 is a wireless control switch. In this way, the appearance of the household appliance can be made neater, and the problem of misoperation can be effectively avoided, which is conducive to improving the degree of intelligence.

Optionally, the remote control device is a smart phone.

[0151] With the acceleration of the replacement of electrical appliances, electrical appliances must be continuously upgraded to make them popular with users.
