[0060] Referring to Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present application, the face cover assembly 100 includes a face plate 10, a face cover and a display panel 30, the face plate 10 and the face cover enclosing a mounting cavity, and the display panel 30 is located in the mounting cavity. The display panel 30 is provided with a display module 31. The face plate 10 includes a face film 11, a face plate base 12 and a first separate body 13. The face film 11 is configured with a display area 111. The face plate base 12 is arranged on the surface of the face film 11 facing the face cover side, and the face plate base 12 is configured with a hollow notch portion 121. The first separate body 13 is configured as a frame structure, and the outer side surface of the first separate body 13 is embedded in the notch portion 121. Wherein, the display module 31 is arranged in the inner side of the first separate body 13 and is arranged opposite to the display area 111.

[0061] In the related art, the display module and the face film are still separated by the face plate base, and the light emitted by different light-emitting areas in the display module is refracted in the face plate base. When the light enters the face film, there will be a phenomenon of light jumping, which greatly reduces the display accuracy of the target pattern on the display area of the face film. In the present application, the face plate base 12 is configured with a hollow notch portion 121, the outer side surface of the first separate body 13 is embedded in the notch portion 121, and the display module 31 is arranged in the inner side of the first separate body 13 and is arranged opposite to the display area 111. In this way, the light emitted by the display module 31 does not pass through the face plate base 12, but is directly irradiated onto the display area 111, so that the display accuracy of the target pattern on the face film 11 is improved.

[0062] In addition, since the first separate body 13 is a frame structure, the outer side surface of the first separate body 13 is embedded in the notch portion 121 of the face plate base 12, so that the first separate body 13 and the face plate base 12 can be formed as an integral structure by integral molding, which is simple in structure and easy to process. In some embodiments, the outer side surface of the first separate body 13 can be embedded in the face plate base 12 in the entire range.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the panel 10 is located at the outermost side of the cooking appliance. In order to make the appearance of the cooking appliance more beautiful, the surface of the panel 10 away from the face cover can be provided as a smooth transition surface. For example, the surface of the face film 11 away from the face cover can be a plane or can be an arc surface, and the face cover is partially provided as a structure protruding in the direction away from the panel 10 to form a mounting cavity on the face cover for accommodating the display panel 30. The display panel 30 can be mounted in the mounting cavity through a fastener or the like.

[0064] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the display area 111 on the face film 11 can be printed with a preset pattern. The display module 31 can include a base body 311, and the base body 311 is provided with a plurality of grooves 312, and each groove 312 is provided with an LED lamp. The shapes of the plurality of grooves 312 correspond to the preset pattern. For example, in the case where the preset pattern is a plurality of Arabic numerals "8", a plurality of LED lamps jointly combine the shape of a plurality of Arabic numerals "8". The number of the numerals "8" on the face film 11 can be generally set to four.

[0065] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the panel base body 12 is configured with a hollow notch portion 121, for example, the notch portion 121 can penetrate the panel base body 12 along the thickness direction of the panel base body 12. The formed notch portion 121 can be a closed figure. The first part 13 is configured as a frame structure, for example, a square frame structure or a circular ring structure, as long as the first part 13 is configured as a closed frame structure. The outer side surface of the first part 13 is embedded in the notch portion 121, which means that the circumferential part or the entire circumference of the outer side surface of the first part 13 is embedded in the notch portion 121.

[0066] The display module 31 is embedded in the inner side of the first part 13, which means that at least part of the display module 31 is located in the inner side of the first part 13, and the display end of the display module 31 is arranged opposite to the display area 111.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , the panel base body 12 is integrally connected with the first part 13 and the face film 11 by injection molding.

[0068] In this way, the first sub-body 13 and the face film 11 that have been formed can be arranged in the cavity of the forming mold, and a forming material is injected into the cavity to form the panel base 12. Compared with the liquid forming material, the first sub-body 13 and the face film 11 are both formed structures, and the first sub-body 13 will not be deformed, and the position of the face film 11 corresponding to the first sub-body 13 will not be deformed, collapsed, or the like during the forming of the forming material. In this way, the overall face film 11 formed by the panel base 12, the first sub-body 13, and the face film 11 will not be collapsed at the display area 111 of the face film 11, so that the appearance structure of the face film 11 is relatively stable.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 5 The inner edge of the notch portion 121 is provided with a frame-shaped surrounding rib 40 continuously extending along the inner edge. The outer side surface of the first sub-body 13 is attached to the inner side surface of the surrounding rib 40.

[0070] The inner side surface of the surrounding rib 40 is provided with a first matching portion 41, and the outer side surface of the first sub-body 13 is provided with a second matching portion 42. The first matching portion 41 and the second matching portion 42 are snap-fitted.

[0071] By providing the surrounding rib 40, the outer side surface of the first sub-body 13 is attached to the inner side surface of the surrounding rib 40, so that the surrounding rib 40 is wrapped around the first sub-body 13, which can prevent the first sub-body 13 from moving relative to the panel base 12 in the left-right and front-back directions.

[0072] By snap-fitting the first matching portion 41 and the second matching portion 42, the first sub-body 13 and the surrounding rib 40 can be connected to each other. The first sub-body 13 is prevented from being displaced relative to the panel base 12 in the thickness direction of the panel base 12. In addition, the surrounding rib 40 can be integrally formed with the edge of the notch portion 121.

[0073] Further, the first matching portion 41 is configured as a convex rib continuously extending around the circumference of the surrounding rib 40. The second matching portion 42 is configured as a concave groove continuously extending around the circumference of the first sub-body 13. In this way, the surrounding rib 40 and the first sub-body 13 can be snap-fitted around the entire circumference. The positioning strength of the surrounding rib 40 on the first sub-body 13 is higher. In other embodiments, the first matching portion 41 can be a concave groove, and the second matching portion 42 can be a convex rib, as long as the snap-fitting of the first matching portion 41 and the second matching portion 42 can be achieved.

[0074] Continuing to refer to Figure 1The surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover is flush with the surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover. In this way, the surface of the panel base 12 and the surface of the first sub-body 13 constitute a smooth transition surface. For example, if the surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover is a curved surface, then the surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover is also a curved surface, and the radii of the curved surfaces are the same. If the surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover is a flat surface, then the surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover is also a flat surface. In this way, the first sub-body 13 can tightly adhere to the face film 11, and support the face film 11 and prevent the face film 11 from sagging.

[0075] In combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the inner side of the first sub-body 13 defines a receiving cavity 133, and the inner side of the first sub-body 13 is used to abut the second sub-body 14, so that the second sub-body 14 blocks the receiving cavity 133. The surface of the first sub-body 13 facing the cover is provided with a mounting portion 132, so that the second sub-body 14 is detachably mounted to the first sub-body 13 through the mounting portion 132.

[0076] By arranging the second sub-body 14 on the inner side of the first sub-body 13, the second sub-body 14 can support the face film 11 during the process of integrally injection molding the panel base 12, the first sub-body 13, and the face film 11. Moreover, the second sub-body 14 is detachably connected to the first sub-body 13, and can be detached after the process of injection molding is completed. This will not affect the installation of the display module 31.

[0077] Further, referring to Figure 10 The surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover, the surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover, and the surface of the second sub-body 14 away from the cover define a smooth transition surface. For example, if the surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover is a curved surface, then the surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover and the surface of the second sub-body 14 away from the cover are also curved surfaces, and the radii of the curved surfaces are the same. If the surface of the panel base 12 away from the cover is a flat surface, then the surface of the first sub-body 13 away from the cover and the surface of the second sub-body 14 away from the cover are also flat surfaces. In this way, the first sub-body 13 and the second sub-body 14 can tightly adhere to the face film 11, and support the face film 11 and prevent the face film 11 from sagging.

[0078] In combination Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the second part 14 has a main body part 141 and a flange connecting part 142 arranged at the end of the main body part 141. The surface of the first part 13 facing the cover is provided with a recess 131, and the mounting part 132 is a mounting hole arranged on the bottom wall of the recess 131. The recess 131 is used to accommodate the flange connecting part 142 when the main body part 141 is arranged inside the first part 13.

[0079] In this way, after the second part 14 is mounted into the first part 13, it is convenient to disassemble from the side of the second part 14 facing the cover. Exemplarily, the flange connecting part 142 can be connected into the mounting part 132 by a fastener 1421 such as a screw.

[0080] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , there is a gap between the display module 31 and the inner side of the first part 13. The display panel 30 is further provided with a capacitor 50, which is located in the gap and abuts against the first part 13 and the display module 31, respectively. In this way, the capacitor 50 can support the inner side of the first part 13 to prevent the first part 13 from falling off the surrounding rib 40.

[0081] Further, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the display area 111 of the face mask 11 is provided with a preset pattern, which corresponds to the light-emitting parts on the display module 31 one by one.

[0082] In some embodiments, the gap between the face mask 11 and the display module 31 is less than 0.5 mm. In this way, the light emitted from the display module 31 will only be emitted to the corresponding position on the face mask 11 and will not be emitted to other positions. In the case where the preset pattern is a plurality of Arabic numerals “8”, the light emitted from the display module 31 will be emitted to the corresponding strokes of the preset pattern and will not be emitted to adjacent strokes, that is, there will be no light jumping problem.

[0083] The embodiments of the present application also provide a cooking appliance including the face cover assembly 100 described above. The cooking appliance can be an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker, an electric stew pot, etc., and the specific form thereof is not limited here.

[0084] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the embodiments of the present application also provide a manufacturing method of a face cover assembly, which is used to manufacture the face cover assembly 100 described above. The manufacturing method of the face cover assembly includes:

[0085] S10, detachably mounting the second part to the inner side of the frame-shaped first part.

[0086] S20, the mask, the first and second parts are installed into the cavity of the forming mold, and the same side surfaces of the first and second parts abut against the mask.

[0087] S30, injecting the forming material into the cavity, and forming the forming material into the panel base body which is integrally formed with the mask and the first part, wherein the panel base body is attached to the outer side of the first part.

[0088] S40, disassembling the second part from the first part, and passing the display module of the display panel through the inner side of the first part to correspond to the display area of the mask.

[0089] By placing the mask 11, the first and second parts 13 and 14 which are installed into the cavity of the forming mold, and the same side surfaces of the first and second parts 13 and 14 abut against the mask 11, injecting the forming material into the cavity, and forming the forming material into the panel base body 12 which is integrally formed with the mask 11 and the first part 13. Compared with the liquid forming material, the first and second parts 13 and 14 and the mask 11 are all formed structures, and during the forming process of the forming material, even if the size of the forming material shrinks, because the first and second parts 13 and 14 will not deform, the position on the mask 11 corresponding to the inner side of the first part 13 will not deform, collapse and the like due to the support of the second part 14, so that the overall panel base body 12, the first and second parts 13 and 14, and the mask 11 formed by the forming material will not collapse and the like at the position of the display area 111 of the mask 11, so that the appearance structure of the mask 11 is relatively stable.

[0090] After the panel base body 12 is formed, the second part 14 is disassembled from the first part 13, and the display module 31 of the display panel 30 is passed through the inner side of the first part 13 to correspond to the display area 111 of the mask 11, so that the display module 31 is arranged opposite to the display area 111 by being passed through the inner side of the first part 13. In this way, the light emitted from the display module 31 does not pass through the panel base body 12, but is directly irradiated onto the display area 111, so that the display precision of the target pattern on the mask 11 is improved.

[0091] It can be understood that after the forming material is injected into the cavity to form the panel base body 12 which is integrally formed with the mask 11 and the first part 13, the first part 13 and the panel base body 12 are integrally connected and cannot be disassembled. The second part 14 is disassembled from the first part 13 after the size of the panel base body 12 is stable, for example, after 24 hours. Then, the display module 31 can pass through the panel base body 12 and be as close to the mask 11 as possible.

[0092] As described above, in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 7The second part 14 has a main body part 141 and a flange connecting part 142 arranged at the end of the main body part 141. One end face of the first part 13 in the thickness direction is provided with a relief groove 131, and the bottom wall of the relief groove 131 is provided with a mounting hole as a mounting part 132.

[0093] In step S10, the step of detachably mounting the second part 14 to the inner side of the frame-shaped first part 13 includes:

[0094] The main body part 141 is inserted into the inner side of the first part 13, the flange connecting part 142 is accommodated in the relief groove 131, and the flange connecting part 142 is connected to the mounting hole by the fastener 1421.

[0095] Thus, when the fastener 1421 is removed, it is easy to operate from the side of the panel base 12 away from the face film 11. The fastener 1421 may, for example, be a screw.
