Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a multi-directional switch for a smart cookware handle and a smart cookware handle. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-directional switches are incorporated into the handles of smart cookware to reduce the number of buttons required. As the name suggests, a multi-directional switch has multiple contacts, and activation of these contacts is achieved through movement in multiple directions. Since smart cookware handles are commonly used in kitchens, the waterproof performance of the multi-directional switch is particularly important.

[0003] To address the above issues, a multi-directional push-button switch has been proposed, comprising a housing, a multi-directional push-button switch body, a keycap, and a protective component. The keycap includes a connected rod and a cap, with the cap protruding from the housing. A slot is formed at the bottom of the rod, allowing the keycap and switch body to be connected by inserting the top of the multi-directional push-button switch body into the slot. The cap protrudes from the housing, and the protective component is fitted onto the rod. When the protective component swings in multiple directions with the keycap, its outer wall remains in contact with the wall of the mounting hole, thus sealing the hole. This structure achieves dust and water resistance by ensuring the protective component remains in contact with the wall of the mounting hole during swinging. However, this structure has shortcomings: although the protective component remains in contact with the wall of the mounting hole, there is relative movement between the two parts, inevitably creating a gap, which leads to insufficient waterproofing performance.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-way switch for smart cookware handles and a smart cookware handle to solve the problem of insufficient waterproof performance of multi-way switches. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-directional switch for a smart cookware handle and a smart cookware handle, so as to improve the waterproof performance of the multi-directional switch for the smart cookware handle.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-directional switch for a smart cookware handle is mounted on the handle body. The handle body has a mounting groove with a through hole at the bottom. A rocker switch is located inside the handle body and below the through hole. The multi-directional switch for the smart cookware handle includes:

[0008] A flexible seal is fitted into the mounting groove, and the flexible seal is provided with mounting holes;

[0009] The button includes a pressing part and a connecting part that are connected to each other. The connecting part passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the rocker switch through the mounting hole and the through hole. The connecting part and the mounting hole are interference fit. When the connecting part is activated, the flexible seal undergoes elastic deformation.

[0010] As an alternative, the upper end face of the flexible seal is provided with an annular protrusion, the mounting hole penetrates the protrusion, and the pressing part can squeeze the protrusion to deform the flexible seal.

[0011] As an alternative, notches are provided on both sides of the protrusion along the front-back or left-right direction of the pressing part.

[0012] As an alternative, the lower end face of the flexible seal is provided with two grooves that correspond one-to-one with the two notches. Along the front-back or left-right direction of the pressing part, the two grooves are located on both sides of the mounting hole and communicate with the mounting hole.

[0013] As an alternative, the connecting part includes a first intermediate part and a limiting guide part that are connected to each other. The first intermediate part is connected to the pressing part. The limiting guide part has a stepped surface on the side connected to the first intermediate part. When the first intermediate part is located in the mounting hole, the stepped surface is limited to the lower end face of the flexible seal.

[0014] As an alternative, the limiting guide includes a cylindrical segment and a conical segment connected to each other. The end of the cylindrical segment away from the conical segment is the stepped surface. The cross-sectional area of ​​the conical segment gradually decreases in the direction away from the cylindrical segment, and the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the conical segment is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the cylindrical segment.

[0015] As an alternative, the mounting groove is provided with an annular boss, the flexible seal is provided with an annular groove, and the annular boss is embedded in the annular groove.

[0016] As an optional feature, the flexible seal is further provided with a clearance groove, the protrusion is located in the clearance groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion is spaced apart from the inner peripheral surface of the clearance groove.

[0017] As an alternative, the protrusion has a cavity that allows the protrusion to deform.

[0018] As an alternative, support portions are provided on both sides of the cavity along the front-back or left-right direction of the pressing part, the support portions extend toward the mounting hole, and the support portions abut against the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0019] As an alternative, the mounting groove is provided with an annular boss, the flexible seal is provided with a recessed groove, the annular boss is embedded in the recessed groove, and the annular boss abuts against the support portion.

[0020] As an alternative, the connecting portion includes a second intermediate portion and a guide portion that are interconnected, the second intermediate portion being connected to the pressing portion, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide portion gradually decreasing in the direction away from the second intermediate portion.

[0021] As an alternative, the end of the connecting part away from the pressing part is provided with a plug-in cavity, and the outer circumferential surface of the connecting part is provided with a through hole communicating with the plug-in cavity.

[0022] A smart cookware handle, employing the multi-directional switch of any of the above-mentioned solutions for smart cookware handles.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] This invention provides a multi-directional switch for a smart cookware handle, mounted on the handle body, which has a mounting groove and a through hole. The multi-directional switch includes a flexible seal and a button. The flexible seal is elastic and embedded in the mounting groove, and has a mounting hole. The button includes a pressing part and a connecting part connected to each other. The connecting part passes through the mounting hole and is interference-fitted with it. The connecting part is inserted into a rocker switch through the mounting hole and the through hole. Pressing the pressing part triggers the rocker switch. This multi-directional switch for the smart cookware handle uses a flexible seal embedded in the mounting groove, meaning there is an interference fit between the flexible seal and the mounting groove, and between the connecting part and the mounting hole. When the pressing part is pressed, the flexible seal only deforms due to its own elasticity, without displacement with the mounting groove or the connecting part. This effectively prevents water or dust from entering the handle body through the through hole and the mounting hole, improving dust and water resistance, and making it suitable for use in harsh environments such as kitchens.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This invention provides a multi-directional switch for a smart cookware handle, installed on the handle body 100, which effectively prevents water or dust from entering the handle body 100. Figures 1-6As shown, the multi-directional switch of the smart cookware handle includes a flexible seal 1 and a button 2. The handle body 100 has a mounting groove 101 with a through hole 102. The flexible seal 1 is made of silicone or rubber and is elastic. It has a mounting hole 11 and is elastically embedded in the mounting groove 101. The peripheral and bottom surfaces of the flexible seal 1 abut against the peripheral and bottom surfaces of the mounting groove 101 to prevent water or dust from entering the handle body 100 through the peripheral surface of the flexible seal 1. The button 2 includes a pressing part 21 and a connecting part 22 connected to each other. The connecting part 22 passes through the mounting hole 11 and is connected to a rocker switch 200 inside the handle body 100 via the mounting hole 11 and the through hole 102. The connecting part 22 and the mounting hole 11 are press-fitted. This connection structure effectively prevents water or dust from entering the handle body 100 through the mounting hole 11. In this embodiment, button 2 has three pressing actions: pressing forward and backward along the long side of the handle body 100, and pressing downward perpendicular to the handle body 100.

[0050] The multi-directional switch on the smart cookware handle can activate the connecting part 22 by pressing the pressing part 21, which in turn triggers the rocker switch 200. It can be understood that when the pressing part 21 activates the connecting part 22, the flexible sealing member 1 deforms due to its own elasticity to facilitate the movement of the connecting part 22.

[0051] The multi-directional switch of the smart cookware handle is embedded in the mounting groove 101 through a flexible seal 1. That is, there is an interference fit between the flexible seal 1 and the mounting groove 101, as well as between the connecting part 22 and the mounting hole 11. When the pressing part 21 is pressed, the flexible seal 1 only deforms through its own elasticity, without displacement with the mounting groove 101 and the connecting part 22. This can effectively prevent water from entering the handle body 100 through the through hole 102 and the mounting hole 11, thus improving the waterproof performance and making it suitable for use in harsh environments such as kitchens.

[0052] To facilitate pressing the flexible seal 1 with the pressing part 21, causing it to deform. (Continue referring to...) Figures 2-4 The flexible seal 1 has an annular protrusion 12 on its upper surface away from the handle body 100. The mounting hole 11 passes through the protrusion 12, and the connecting part 22 passes through the mounting hole 11. The pressing part 21 abuts against the protrusion 12. When the pressing part 21 is pressed, the pressing part 21 can deform the protrusion 12, thereby deforming the flexible seal 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, pressing is achieved along the front-to-back direction of the pressing part 21. Notches 121 are provided on both sides of the protrusion 12 to make it more convenient to press forward or backward, and to provide a pressing trigger feel in the forward or backward direction. It can be understood that if pressing in the left-right direction is required, the notches 121 can also be provided in the left-right direction of the pressing part 21.

[0054] To further improve the convenience of pressing in the forward or backward direction, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible seal 1 has two grooves 13 on its side opposite to the protrusion 12, corresponding one-to-one with the two notches 121. Along the front-rear direction of the pressing part 21, the two grooves 13 are located on both sides of the mounting hole 11 and communicate with it. This structure, in conjunction with the notches 121, makes the flexible seal 1 thinner in the front-rear direction, thus making it easier to deform in the front-rear direction compared to the left-right direction, thereby reducing the effort required when pressing the pressing part 21 forward or backward.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 An annular boss 103 is provided in the mounting groove 101, and the annular boss 103 surrounds the periphery of the through hole 102. The flexible seal 1 is provided with an annular groove 14. When the flexible seal 1 is embedded in the mounting groove 101, the annular boss 103 is embedded in the annular groove 14, so that an annular seal is added between the two sides of the flexible seal 1 and the mounting groove 101 that are in contact, which not only enhances the waterproof performance, but also enhances the connection between the flexible seal 1 and the handle body 100.

[0056] Furthermore, when the flexible seal 1 is embedded in the mounting groove 101, adhesive can be added to make the flexible seal 1 more firmly fixed to the handle body 100. Optionally, the flexible seal 1 and the handle body 100 can also be formed by secondary injection molding.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting part 22 includes a first intermediate part 221 and a limiting guide part 222 that are interconnected. The first intermediate part 221 is connected to the pressing part 21. The limiting guide part 222 has a stepped surface on the side connected to the first intermediate part 221. During installation, the limiting guide part 222 is first passed through the mounting hole 11 of the flexible seal 1, and the first intermediate part 221 is located inside the mounting hole 11. The stepped surface is limited to the lower end face of the flexible seal 1 away from the protrusion 12. This structure, by limiting the lower end face of the flexible seal 1 with the stepped surface, ensures that the connecting part 22 and the rocker switch 200 are properly inserted, ensuring accurate assembly of the button 2 and the flexible seal 1, and preventing the connecting part 22 from coming out of the mounting hole 11 of the flexible seal 1 after assembly.

[0058] Furthermore, the limiting guide portion 222 includes a cylindrical segment 2221 and a conical segment 2222 connected to each other. The cylindrical segment 2221 is connected to the first intermediate portion 221, and the end of the cylindrical segment 2221 facing away from the conical segment 2222 is a stepped surface. From the limiting guide portion 222 to the pressing portion 21, the cross-sectional dimension of the conical segment 2222 gradually increases, and the cross-sectional dimension of the end face where the conical segment 2222 connects to the cylindrical segment 2221 is equal to the cross-sectional dimension of the cylindrical segment 2221. When the connecting portion 22 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the structural design of the conical segment 2222 has a guiding function, making insertion easier; and the cylindrical segment 2221 has thickness, which can ensure the strength of the stepped surface limiting.

[0059] Optionally, the end of the connecting part 22 opposite to the pressing part 21 has a insertion cavity 225, and the outer circumferential surface of the connecting part 22 has a through hole 226 communicating with the insertion cavity 225, so that the rocker switch 200 can be inserted into the insertion cavity 225 to fix the connecting part 22 and the rocker switch 200 together. (Continue referring to...) Figure 6 The limiting guide portion 222 has a insertion cavity 225 on its end face opposite to the first intermediate portion 221. The insertion cavity 225 extends onto the first intermediate portion 221, and the outer circumferential surface of the first intermediate portion 221 has a through hole 226 communicating with the insertion cavity 225. During the process of inserting the rocker switch 200 into the insertion cavity 225, the air in the insertion cavity 225 is discharged through the through hole 226, so that the rocker switch 200 is inserted more smoothly and can be inserted in place.

[0060] Furthermore, to ensure a more secure connection between the rocker switch 200 and the connecting part 22, glue is first added to the insertion cavity 225 before insertion, and then the rocker switch 200 is inserted into the insertion cavity 225. Excess glue can be discharged through the through hole 226, which is beneficial for the curing of the glue. The through hole 226 has both venting and glue overflow functions, making the structural design more reasonable.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 Because the pressing part 21 is pressed for a long time, the pressing part 21 drives the connecting part 22 to exert an interaction force on the joystick switch 200. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the joystick switch 200. To solve the above problem, the joystick switch 200 is set on the Bluetooth board 201. The Bluetooth board 201 is fixed inside the handle body 100 by screws. The handle body 100 also includes a cover plate 104. The cover plate 104 and the handle body 100 are detachable. A top post 1041 is provided on the side of the cover plate 104 facing the inside of the handle body 100. When the cover plate 104 is placed on the handle body 100, the top post 1041 can abut against the side of the Bluetooth board 201 away from the joystick switch 200 to support the Bluetooth board 201, effectively preventing the Bluetooth board 201 from falling off due to prolonged pressing of the pressing part 21, and enhancing the stability of the structure.

[0062] This embodiment also provides a smart cookware handle. The multi-directional switch of the smart cookware handle described above can improve the dustproof and waterproof performance of the smart cookware handle to adapt to the kitchen environment.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The multi-directional switch for the smart cookware handle provided in this embodiment has a structure and principle that are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1. For convenience, only the differences will be described first. The following is a detailed description... Figures 7-14 The following explanation will be provided.

[0065] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the flexible seal 1 is also provided with a relief groove 15, and the protrusion 12 is located in the relief groove 15. The outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the relief groove 15 are spaced apart, i.e., there is a gap. This structure makes it easier for the flexible seal 1 to deform when the pressing part 21 squeezes the protrusion 12.

[0066] Furthermore, a cavity 122 is provided on the side of the protrusion 12 facing the rocker switch 200, so that when the pressing part 21 is pressed, the protrusion 12 can deform, thereby causing the flexible seal 1 to deform, making it more convenient for the connecting part 22 to drive the rocker switch 200 to operate.

[0067] To obtain a better pressing feel for the pressing part 21 in the front-to-back direction, refer to Figure 9 Along the front-back direction (i.e., left-right direction) perpendicular to the pressing part 21, support parts 123 are provided on both sides of the cavity 122 facing each other. The support parts 123 extend toward the mounting hole 11, and when the flexible seal 1 is embedded in the mounting groove 101, the support parts 123 abut against the bottom of the mounting groove 101. In this structure, the support parts 123 increase the thickness of the cavity 122 in the left-right direction, making the protrusion 12 less prone to deformation in the left-right direction, and the bottom of the mounting groove 101 abuts against the support parts 123, further enhancing the stability of the support parts 123. It can be understood that if the pressing part 21 is to achieve pressing in the left-right direction, then the support parts 123 are provided in the front-back direction of the pressing part 21.

[0068] Furthermore, an annular boss 103 is provided within the mounting groove 101, and a recessed groove 16 is provided on the flexible seal 1. When the flexible seal 1 is embedded in the mounting groove 101, the annular boss 103 is embedded in the recessed groove 16, and the annular boss 103 can abut against the support portion 123. This structure effectively improves the sealing performance of the flexible seal 1 and the mounting groove 101, and the abutment between the annular boss 103 and the support portion 123 significantly improves the support effect.

[0069] The thickness of the flexible seal 1 on the side facing the pressing part 21 in the front-to-back direction is less than the thickness of the flexible seal 1 in the left-to-right direction, so as to make the pressing feel better.

[0070] like Figure 10 As shown, the connecting part 22 includes a second intermediate part 223 and a guide part 224 that are connected to each other. The second intermediate part 223 is connected to the pressing part 21. The guide part 224 is conical, and its cross-sectional size gradually increases from the guide part 224 to the second intermediate part 223. This structure makes it easier to insert the connecting part 22 into the mounting hole 11.

[0071] The following is combined with Figures 11-14 Let me explain the principle of pressing in detail.

[0072] Figures 11-12 This is a cross-sectional view along the front-to-back direction. Figures 11-12 It can be seen that the support position of the annular boss 103 is far away from the gap between the cavity 122, the protrusion 12 and the clearance groove 15. There is no support at the gap and the cavity 122 of the flexible seal 1. Therefore, the flexible seal 1 is prone to deformation in the front and back direction of the pressing part 21.

[0073] Figures 13-14 This is a cross-sectional view along the left and right sides. Figures 13-14 As can be seen, the support position of the annular boss 103 is located directly below the support part 123. When the pressing part 21 presses to the left and right, the support part 123 needs to be deformed downward first. The annular boss 103 has a supporting effect on the support part 123. Therefore, the flexible seal 1 is not easy to deform in the left and right direction.

[0074] The multi-directional switch design of the smart cookware handle provided in this embodiment has a simple and novel structure, and its sealing performance is significantly improved.

[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
