Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heating equipment technology, and more specifically to a control device and heating equipment for heating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Heating equipment, as a common household appliance, is usually equipped with a human-machine interface control panel for functions such as turning the device on and off, adjusting the temperature, and switching modes. To ensure ease of operation and overall aesthetics, the control panel is generally integrated into the outer casing of the device.

[0003] Traditional methods of fixing control panels to the casing often involve screws or simple clips. While screws provide a secure connection, they result in cumbersome assembly processes, low production efficiency, and the need for specialized tools during installation or maintenance, leading to a poor user experience. Simple clip-on connections, while enabling quick assembly, are prone to misalignment or displacement during installation, resulting in poor assembly accuracy and affecting product aesthetics. Furthermore, since the control panel area is usually adjacent to the electronic control module, heat generated by the control panel and internal electronic components can accumulate in the enclosed space during operation, causing localized overheating. This not only affects the performance and lifespan of the control panel and internal electronic components but also poses certain safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a control device and heating equipment for heating devices to solve the problems of cumbersome assembly process, poor assembly accuracy and insufficient heat dissipation performance of control panels.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control device for a heating device, comprising: The outer shell has a recessed platform at the top; the bottom of the recessed platform has a through opening, and the inner side wall of the recessed platform has a limiting part and a clearance part. The control panel is installed inside the recessed platform, and there is a gap between the peripheral wall of the control panel and the inner side wall of the recessed platform; the peripheral wall of the control panel is provided with a positioning part, a fastening part and a heat dissipation vent; the positioning part and the limiting part are matched for limiting; the fastening part and the clearance part are matched for locking; the heat dissipation vent is connected to the through opening and the gap.

[0006] Beneficial effects: By setting a recessed platform on the top of the outer casing, and cooperating with limiting and clearance parts to form a locking mechanism with the positioning and fastening parts of the control panel, the control panel can be quickly snapped together and stably fixed without additional fasteners, simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the mutual constraints of the positioning structure prevent the control panel from shifting during installation, ensuring assembly accuracy and structural stability during use. Simultaneously, the gaps between the control panel's peripheral wall and the inner wall of the recessed platform, combined with the connection between the heat dissipation vent and the through-hole at the bottom of the recessed platform, form a heat dissipation channel, effectively guiding the heat generated by the control panel and internal electronic components outwards, preventing internal heat accumulation, and improving product safety and lifespan. This solves the problems of cumbersome assembly procedures, poor assembly accuracy, and insufficient heat dissipation performance of control panels.

[0007] In one alternative implementation, the control panel includes: Panel body; The flange extends from the periphery of the panel body towards the through-hole; the positioning part, fastening part and heat dissipation vent are all located on the flange.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By extending the flange from the periphery of the panel body towards the through-hole, the flange structure provides a stable mounting carrier for the positioning and fastening parts, ensuring the accuracy of assembly positioning and the stability of the connection after fastening; at the same time, the heat dissipation vent is located on the flange, which not only connects the gap on the inner side of the recessed platform with the through-hole to form a smooth heat dissipation channel and ensure efficient heat dissipation, but also avoids openings on the surface of the panel body, avoiding the occupation and interference of the core functional areas such as the operation area and display area of ​​the panel body, ensuring the functional integrity and appearance of the panel body; at the same time, the flange itself can enhance the structural strength of the periphery of the panel body, improving the overall structural rigidity and durability of the control panel.

[0009] In one alternative implementation, the thickness of the panel body is greater than 2 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Setting the thickness of the panel body to be greater than 2mm effectively meets the mandatory safety requirements of electrical appliances for basic insulation, ensuring that a solid insulation barrier of sufficient thickness is formed between the live conductive sensing part and the user-accessible outer surface, reducing the risk of electric shock caused by insulation breakdown or creepage; at the same time, the thickness of more than 2mm can still maintain the dielectric properties required for capacitive touch while ensuring electrical safety, ensuring that the touch signal is sensitive and reliable, and taking into account product safety, functional stability and human-computer interaction experience.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, a reinforcing part is provided on the inner sidewall of the sinking platform, and the reinforcing part is located below the positioning part and the clearance part.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The opening of the positioning part and the avoidance part will have a certain impact on the local structural integrity of the inner side wall of the sinking platform. The reinforcement part located below it can compensate for the strength loss caused by the opening of the functional structure by increasing the local structural thickness, improve the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the remaining structure around the sinking platform, and avoid problems such as cracking and deformation of the sinking platform side wall caused by local stress concentration during long-term use or assembly.

[0013] In an alternative implementation, a controller assembly is also included, disposed within the housing and located below the through-hole.

[0014] Beneficial effects: By placing the controller component inside the housing and below the through-hole, forming a vertically corresponding layout with the control panel above the through-hole, the signal transmission path between the controller component and the control panel is shortened, signal attenuation and external interference are reduced, the response speed and accuracy of command transmission are improved, and the collaborative working efficiency between the two is ensured; at the same time, the controller component located below the through-hole can work together with the through-hole, the heat dissipation opening of the control panel and the gap of the countertop to dissipate heat. The heat generated by the controller component during operation can be quickly dissipated upward through the through-hole, avoiding heat accumulation inside the housing, and solving the problem of unstable performance or shortened lifespan of the controller component due to high temperature.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, a mounting bracket is provided inside the housing, located below the through-hole; the controller assembly includes: The display control panel is mounted on the top of the fixed bracket; The main control board is mounted on the side of the fixed bracket and is electrically connected to the display control board.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By installing a fixed bracket inside the housing and mounting the display control board and main control board on their top and sides respectively, a modular and compact layout of the controller components is achieved. This effectively utilizes the internal three-dimensional space of the housing, avoids mutual interference between the display control board and the main control board, and provides stable mechanical support through the fixed bracket, ensuring the stable position and reliable connection of the display control board and main control board during transportation or use. Simultaneously, the display control board is aligned directly with the through-hole, facilitating alignment with the control panel and ensuring the accuracy of display and operation functions.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the fixing bracket includes: The main control board is fixed to the side of the vertical support section. The mounting platform is located at the top of the vertical support, and the display control panel is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting platform.

[0018] Beneficial Effects: By configuring the mounting bracket to include a vertical support section and a mounting platform on top of the vertical support section, the installation layout of the main control board and the display control board is optimized. The vertical support section provides a stable lateral mounting surface for the main control board, making full use of vertical space and reducing the overall structural thickness. The top mounting platform elevates the display control board to a suitable height, aligning it with the mounting position of the control panel above, shortening the distance between the display control board and the control panel, and ensuring display quality and touch sensitivity accuracy. The arrangement of the vertical support section and mounting platform allows the main control board and the display control board to be spatially adjacent but partitioned, facilitating short-distance signal cable connections, reducing interference, and improving connection stability.

[0019] In one optional implementation, the panel body includes a perspective window and function buttons; the display control panel includes: The display screen is positioned to correspond to the perspective window via a through-hole. The conductive sensing part is fixed at one end to the display control board, and the other end passes through the through-hole and extends to the inner surface of the panel body, corresponding to the position of the function button.

[0020] Beneficial effects: Clearly dividing the panel body into a transparent window and function buttons makes the control panel layout intuitive and clear, allowing users to quickly identify the display area and operation area, reducing the probability of misoperation and improving ease of use; the display screen is aligned with the transparent window through the through-hole to ensure clear visibility of information; one end of the conductive sensing unit is fixed to the display control board, and the other end extends through the through-hole to the inner surface of the panel body, corresponding to the position of the function buttons on the outer surface, so that when the user touches the marked area, capacitive coupling is formed between the panel insulation layer and the conductive sensing unit to control the product status.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the conductive sensing part includes an elastic structure.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The conductive sensing part adopts an elastic structure, which can adapt to the tolerance between the panel body and the display control board through its own elastic deformation during the assembly process. This ensures that it always maintains a tight and stable contact with the function button marking area on the inner surface of the panel body. This effectively avoids problems such as poor contact and signal interruption caused by insufficient assembly precision or environmental changes in rigid structures, thus improving the sensitivity and reliability of operation sensing. Furthermore, the elastic structure can form a flexible buffer when the user presses the panel body. This can absorb the impact of pressing, reduce mechanical damage to the display control board and internal electronic components, extend the service life of the components, and provide users with a soft and clear pressing feedback, optimizing the operating feel and improving the user experience.

[0023] In one alternative implementation, an acoustic component is also included, comprising: The mounting bracket is fixed to the side of the fixed bracket away from the main control board; and the mounting bracket is provided with a first mounting position and a second mounting position. The speaker is installed in the first mounting position; The microphone is installed in the second mounting position.

[0024] Beneficial effects: By placing the acoustic components on the side of the mounting bracket away from the main control board, the internal space of the housing is made reasonable use of the space, effectively avoiding the electromagnetic interference of the main control board on the speakers and microphones, improving the purity of the audio signal and communication quality, and ensuring the stability of acoustic performance. In addition, the mounting bracket is equipped with a first mounting position and a second mounting position for fixing the speakers and microphones respectively, so that the speakers and microphones are clearly separated in space, ensuring that they are reasonably arranged in a limited space and do not interfere with each other. At the same time, it facilitates standardized assembly and subsequent individual debugging, maintenance and upgrade replacement, reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the side wall of the housing is provided with a sound output hole and a sound input hole; in the assembled state, the mounting bracket is attached to the inner wall of the housing, the speaker is aligned with the sound output hole, and the microphone is aligned with the sound input hole.

[0026] Beneficial effects: By setting sound output and sound input holes on the side wall of the housing, and ensuring that the mounting bracket fits tightly against the inner wall of the housing in the assembled state, a direct and efficient acoustic communication path is ensured between the speaker and the sound output hole, and between the microphone and the sound input hole. This shortens the sound wave transmission distance and reduces sound reflection, attenuation, or crosstalk within the cavity, thereby improving the clarity of the speaker's sound quality and the microphone's pickup sensitivity. At the same time, the tight fit between the mounting bracket and the inner wall of the housing also plays a certain role in sealing and positioning, preventing the acoustic components from loosening or shifting, and enhancing structural stability.

[0027] In one alternative implementation, the housing includes: The shell has an opening on one side, and a recessed platform is located on the top of the shell; End caps are detachably mounted at the opening of the housing.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The opening on one side of the housing provides ample space for the installation and operation of core components such as internal mounting brackets, controller components, and acoustic components. The positioning, fixing, and wiring of each component can be quickly completed directly from the opening, avoiding the limitations imposed by a closed housing on assembly operations, significantly simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the end cap can be detachably installed at the housing opening, quickly closing it to form a complete protective cavity. This effectively blocks external dust and moisture from corroding the internal electronic components and acoustic components, improving the housing's protection level and the operational reliability of the internal electronic components. Furthermore, the detachable connection of the end cap facilitates subsequent maintenance, repair, and upgrades. Without disassembling the entire housing or damaging the structure, the internal electronic components can be quickly accessed by removing the end cap, enabling troubleshooting, component replacement, or functional upgrades, reducing maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0029] In one alternative embodiment, the housing and the end cap are stopped and engaged by a stop assembly; the stop assembly includes a stop groove and a stop platform that cooperate with each other, one of which is located at the periphery of the opening of the housing and the other is located at the periphery of the end cap.

[0030] Beneficial effects: By setting mutually matching stop grooves and stop platforms around the periphery of the shell opening and the periphery of the end cover, a reliable stop assembly is formed, which realizes axial limiting of the two during the assembly process, preventing the end cover from being misaligned, warped or producing appearance differences during installation or use, and ensuring that the overall outline of the shell is smooth and beautiful; at the same time, the stop structure can also block external pollutants such as dust and moisture from entering the shell through the mating gap to a certain extent, improving the product's sealing performance and environmental adaptability.

[0031] In one alternative embodiment, the housing and the end cap are engaged by a snap-fit ​​assembly; the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​groove and a snap-fit ​​protrusion that cooperate with each other, one of which is located at the periphery of the opening of the housing and the other is located at the periphery of the end cap.

[0032] Beneficial effects: By setting interlocking protrusions and grooves at the periphery of the housing and end cap to form a snap-fit ​​assembly, quick, reliable, and tool-free pre-assembly between the two is achieved. Based on the initial positioning of the stop assembly, the snap-fit ​​assembly further restricts the axial or circumferential displacement of the end cap, preventing accidental loosening during transportation, handling, or use. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​engagement has good elastic reset capability, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the end cap and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, since the snap-fit ​​structure is integrated into the periphery of the opening, it does not occupy additional space and eliminates the need for screws or other fasteners, simplifying the overall structure and maintaining the simplicity and integrity of the housing's appearance.

[0033] In one alternative embodiment, the housing and the end cap are detachably connected by a fastening assembly; the fastening assembly includes: The connection hole is located on the side wall of the opening of the housing; A connecting post is located on the periphery of the end cap and has a threaded hole inside; Fasteners that pass through the connecting hole and connect to the threaded hole.

[0034] Beneficial effects: By setting up a fastening assembly consisting of a connecting hole, a threaded connecting post, and fasteners, a secure and detachable connection is achieved between the housing and the end cap. The connecting hole is located on the side wall around the opening of the housing, and the connecting post is integrated into the periphery of the end cap. The two are locked together by fasteners, ensuring that the end cap will not loosen due to vibration or external force during long-term use. Furthermore, it works in conjunction with the stop assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly to improve the overall structural stability and sealing reliability. Moreover, the fastening assembly is hidden within the periphery, not affecting the overall appearance of the product; the threaded hole inside the connecting post eliminates the need for additional parts such as nuts, simplifying the assembly process and reducing material costs.

[0042] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0043] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a control device 1 for a heating device is provided, including a housing 11 and a control panel 12; the top of the housing 11 is provided with a recessed platform 1111; the bottom of the recessed platform 1111 is provided with a through opening 1112, and the inner sidewall of the recessed platform 1111 is provided with a limiting part 1113 and a clearance part 1114; the control panel 12 is installed inside the recessed platform 1111, and a gap is provided between the peripheral wall of the control panel 12 and the inner sidewall of the recessed platform 1111; the peripheral wall of the control panel 12 is provided with a positioning part 1221, a fastening part 1222 and a heat dissipation vent 1223; the positioning part 1221 and the limiting part 1113 are mutually limiting; the fastening part 1222 and the clearance part 1114 are mutually engaging; the heat dissipation vent 1223 communicates with the through opening 1112 and the gap.

[0045] In the above embodiment, by setting a recessed platform 1111 on the top of the outer shell 11, and cooperating with the limiting part 1113, the avoidance part 1114, and the positioning part 1221 and the fastening part 1222 of the control panel 12, the control panel 12 can be quickly snapped together and assembled without the need for additional fasteners 1152 to achieve stable fixation. This simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the mutual constraint of the positioning structure prevents the control panel 12 from shifting during installation, ensuring assembly accuracy and structural stability during use. Simultaneously, the gap between the peripheral wall of the control panel 12 and the inner wall of the recessed platform 1111, combined with the connection design between the heat dissipation vent 1223 and the bottom through-hole 1112 of the recessed platform 1111, forms a heat dissipation channel. This effectively guides the heat generated by the control panel 12 and its internal electronic components to dissipate outwards, preventing internal heat accumulation and improving product safety and service life. This solves the problems of cumbersome assembly procedures, poor assembly accuracy, and insufficient heat dissipation performance of the control panel 12.

[0046] Specifically, the gap between the peripheral wall of the control panel 12 and the inner side wall of the recessed platform 1111 is 0.3mm. This gap not only allows the heat dissipation port 1223 to connect with the bottom through-hole 1112 of the recessed platform 1111 to form a heat dissipation channel, but also ensures that the control panel 12 can be smoothly installed into the recessed platform 1111.

[0047] In one embodiment, the control panel 12 includes a panel body 121 and a flange 122; the flange 122 extends from the periphery of the panel body 121 toward the direction of the through opening 1112; the positioning part 1221, the fastening part 1222 and the heat dissipation vent 1223 are all provided on the flange 122.

[0048] In the above embodiment, by providing a flange 122 extending from the periphery of the panel body 121 towards the through opening 1112, the flange 122 structure provides a stable mounting carrier for the positioning part 1221 and the fastening part 1222, ensuring the accuracy of assembly positioning and the stability of connection after fastening; at the same time, the heat dissipation vent 1223 is provided on the flange 122, which not only connects the gap inside the recessed platform 1111 with the through opening 1112 to form a smooth heat dissipation channel and ensure efficient heat dissipation, but also avoids opening on the surface of the panel body 121, avoiding the occupation and interference of the core functional areas such as the operation area and display area of ​​the panel body 121, ensuring the functional integrity and appearance of the panel body 121; at the same time, the flange 122 itself can enhance the structural strength of the periphery of the panel body 121, and improve the overall structural rigidity and durability of the control panel 12.

[0049] Specifically, the flange 122 includes a first side, a second side, and two third sides, wherein the first side and the second side are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side, the third side, the second side, and the other third side are connected end to end to form the flange 122.

[0050] Specifically, the positioning part 1221 includes one or more positioning bosses, which are evenly distributed at intervals on the first side of the flange 122. The positioning part 1221 includes one or more limiting grooves, which correspond one-to-one with the positioning bosses. The limiting grooves are located on the inner side wall of the recess 1111. During assembly, the bosses are embedded in the corresponding limiting grooves to form a limiting fit.

[0051] Specifically, the fastening part 1222 includes a buckle provided on the second side of the flange 122. Since the first side and the second side are arranged opposite to each other, the buckle is arranged opposite to the positioning boss. Correspondingly, the clearance part 1114 includes a clearance opening provided on the inner side wall of the recessed platform 1111. During the assembly process, the buckle passes through the clearance opening and engages with the inner side wall of the recessed platform 1111, thereby fixing the control panel 12 inside the recessed platform 1111.

[0052] Specifically, one or more heat dissipation vents 1223 are provided on the two third sides of the flange 122. The heat dissipation vents 1223 are evenly and spaced along the extension direction of the third side to effectively improve the air circulation efficiency between the control panel 12 and the interior of the housing 111 while ensuring structural strength, and promote heat dissipation.

[0053] Specifically, the control panel 12 is embedded in the recessed platform 1111 on the top of the outer shell 11. After assembly, the top surface of the control panel 12 is flush with the surface of the outer shell 11, forming a continuous and flat appearance. The recessed platform 1111 not only provides good positioning and support for the control panel 12, but also reduces the precision requirements for the mating dimensions of the parts, making the assembly process simpler. It also facilitates the control of the gap between the control panel 12 and the recessed platform 1111. When assembling the whole machine, the control panel 12 is placed in the recessed platform 1111 and the position is confirmed to be correct. Then, it can be directly snapped together to complete the installation. When disassembling, the end cover 112 of the outer shell 11 is first removed, and then the clips of the control panel 12 are opened from the inside of the outer shell 111 to remove the control panel 12.

[0054] In one embodiment, the thickness of the panel body 121 is greater than 2 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the thickness of the panel body 121 is set to be greater than 2mm, which effectively meets the mandatory safety requirements of electrical appliances for basic insulation, ensuring that a solid insulation barrier of sufficient thickness is formed between the charged conductive sensing part 1312 and the user-accessible outer surface, reducing the risk of electric shock caused by insulation breakdown or creepage; at the same time, the thickness of more than 2mm can maintain the dielectric properties required for capacitive touch under the premise of ensuring electrical safety, ensuring that the touch signal is sensitive and reliable, and taking into account product safety, functional stability and human-computer interaction experience.

[0056] Specifically, the thickness of the panel body 121 is greater than 2 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm, which can ensure the structural strength of the panel to withstand daily operating loads, while avoiding the impact of excessive thickness on the overall appearance and installation compatibility of the equipment.

[0057] In one embodiment, a reinforcing part 1115 is provided on the inner sidewall of the recessed platform 1111, and the reinforcing part 1115 is located below the positioning part 1221 and the clearance part 1114.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the opening of the positioning part 1221 and the avoidance part 1114 will have a certain impact on the local structural integrity of the inner sidewall of the sinking platform 1111. The reinforcing part 1115 located below it can compensate for the strength loss caused by the opening of the functional structure by increasing the local structural thickness, and improve the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the remaining structure around the sinking platform 1111. This avoids problems such as cracking and deformation of the sidewall of the sinking platform 1111 caused by local stress concentration during long-term use or assembly.

[0059] Specifically, the reinforcing section 1115 is arranged circumferentially along the platform 1111, and can be a continuous integral structure or multiple local reinforcing sections distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0060] Specifically, the reinforcing part 1115 includes, but is not limited to, a groove, and may also be a raised rib, a reinforcing rib, a locally thickened area, or other components that can improve the structural rigidity and strength, thereby enhancing the stability and resistance to deformation of the component during stress or assembly. In this embodiment, the reinforcing part 1115 is preferably a groove.

[0061] In one embodiment, a controller assembly 13 is also included, which is disposed within the housing 11 and located below the through-hole 1112.

[0062] In the above embodiment, by placing the controller component 13 inside the housing 11 and below the through-hole 1112, forming a vertically corresponding layout with the control panel 12 above the through-hole 1112, the signal transmission path between the controller component 13 and the control panel 12 is shortened, signal attenuation and external interference are reduced, the response speed and accuracy of command transmission are improved, and the collaborative working efficiency between the two is ensured. At the same time, the controller component 13, located below the through-hole 1112, can work together with the through-hole 1112, the heat dissipation opening of the control panel 12, and the gap between the recessed platform 1111 to dissipate heat. The heat generated by the controller component 13 during operation can be quickly dissipated upward through the through-hole 1112, avoiding heat accumulation inside the housing 11, and solving the problem of unstable performance or shortened lifespan of the controller component 13 due to high temperature.

[0063] In one embodiment, a fixing bracket 14 is provided inside the housing 11, and the fixing bracket 14 is located below the through opening 1112; the controller assembly 13 includes a display control board 131 and a main control board 132; the display control board 131 is mounted on the top of the fixing bracket 14; the main control board 132 is mounted on the side of the fixing bracket 14, and the main control board 132 is electrically connected to the display control board 131.

[0064] In the above embodiment, by providing a fixed bracket 14 inside the housing 11 and mounting the display control board 131 and the main control board 132 on its top and side respectively, a modular and compact layout of the controller assembly 13 is achieved. This effectively utilizes the internal three-dimensional space of the housing 111, avoiding mutual interference between the display control board 131 and the main control board 132. The fixed bracket 14 also provides stable mechanical support, ensuring that the display control board 131 and the main control board 132 are firmly positioned and reliably connected during transportation or use. Simultaneously, the display control board 131 is aligned with the through-hole 1112, facilitating alignment with the control panel 12 and ensuring the accuracy of display and operation functions.

[0065] In one embodiment, the fixed bracket 14 includes a vertical support portion 141 and a mounting platform 142; the main control board 132 is fixed to the side of the vertical support portion 141; the mounting platform 142 is located at the top of the vertical support portion 141, and the display control board 131 is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting platform 142.

[0066] In the above embodiment, by configuring the fixed bracket 14 to include a vertical support portion 141 and a mounting platform 142 located on top of the vertical support portion 141, the installation layout of the main control board 132 and the display control board 131 is optimized. The vertical support portion 141 provides a stable lateral mounting surface for the main control board 132, making full use of vertical space and reducing the overall structural thickness. The top mounting platform 142 can raise the display control board 131 to a suitable height, aligning it with the mounting position of the upper control panel 12, shortening the distance between the display control board 131 and the control panel 12, and ensuring display effect and touch sensing accuracy. The arrangement of the vertical support portion 141 and the mounting platform 142 allows the main control board 132 and the display control board 131 to be spatially adjacent but partitioned, facilitating short-distance signal cable connections, reducing interference, and improving connection stability.

[0067] In one embodiment, the panel body 121 includes a perspective window 1211 and function buttons 1212; the display control board 131 includes a display screen 1311 and a conductive sensing part 1312; the display screen 1311 is positioned corresponding to the perspective window 1211 through a through-hole 1112; one end of the conductive sensing part 1312 is fixed to the display control board 131, and the other end passes through the through-hole 1112 and extends to the inner surface of the panel body 121, and is positioned corresponding to the function buttons 1212.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the panel body 121 is clearly divided into a perspective window 1211 and function buttons 1212, making the functional layout of the control panel 12 intuitive and clear. Users can quickly identify the display area and the operation area, reducing the probability of misoperation and improving ease of use. The display screen 1311 is aligned with the perspective window 1211 through the through-hole 1112 to ensure that the information is clearly visible. One end of the conductive sensing part 1312 is fixed to the display control board 131, and the other end extends through the through-hole 1112 to the inner surface of the panel body 121 and corresponds to the position of the function buttons 1212 on the outer surface. Thus, when the user touches the marked area, capacitive coupling is formed between the panel insulating layer and the conductive sensing part 1312 to control the product status.

[0069] Specifically, the main body of the panel 121 includes a transparent area and a non-transparent area. The transparent area forms a perspective window 1211 through which the overall parameters and status of the display screen 1311 can be observed. The function buttons 1212 are located in the non-transparent area.

[0070] Specifically, graphic labels are provided at the positions corresponding to the function buttons 1212 to intuitively indicate the operation functions of each function button 1212, making it easier for users to quickly identify and operate accurately, thereby improving the convenience of human-computer interaction and user experience.

[0071] In one embodiment, the conductive sensing part 1312 includes an elastic structure.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the conductive sensing part 1312 adopts an elastic structure, which can adapt to the tolerance between the panel body 121 and the display control board 131 through its own elastic deformation during the assembly process. This ensures that it always maintains a tight and stable contact with the function button 1212 marking area on the inner surface of the panel body 121. This effectively avoids problems such as poor contact and signal interruption caused by insufficient assembly precision or environmental changes in rigid structures, thereby improving the sensitivity and reliability of operation sensing. Furthermore, the elastic structure can form a flexible buffer when the user presses the panel body 121, which can absorb the pressing impact, reduce mechanical damage to the display control board 131 and internal electronic components, extend the service life of the components, and provide the user with a soft and clear pressing feedback, optimizing the operation feel and improving the user experience.

[0073] Specifically, when a user touches the function button 1212 on the control panel 12, the human body, the control panel 12 (which acts as an insulating medium), and the conductive sensing part 1312 together form a capacitor-like structure, thereby sensing a change in capacitance and triggering corresponding control commands to switch the product state. Since the button spring is energized and the control panel 12 is an external surface that the user can directly contact, the control panel 12 must have reliable insulation performance. Especially in Class I electrical appliances, to meet the basic insulation safety requirements, the solid insulation thickness of the control panel 12 must be no less than 2mm to effectively prevent the risk of electric shock and ensure safe use.

[0074] In one embodiment, the system further includes an acoustic component 15, which includes a mounting bracket 151, a speaker 152, and a microphone 153. The mounting bracket 151 is fixed to the side of the fixed bracket 14 away from the main control board 132. The mounting bracket 151 is provided with a first mounting position and a second mounting position. The speaker 152 is mounted at the first mounting position, and the microphone 153 is mounted at the second mounting position.

[0075] In the above embodiments, by placing the acoustic component 15 on the side of the fixed bracket 14 away from the main control board 132, the internal space of the housing 111 is rationally utilized, effectively avoiding the electromagnetic interference of the main control board 132 on the speaker 152 and microphone 153, improving the purity of the audio signal and the communication quality, and ensuring the stability of the acoustic performance. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 151 is provided with a first mounting position and a second mounting position, which are used to fix the speaker 152 and microphone 153 respectively, so that the speaker 152 and microphone 153 are clearly separated in space, ensuring that the two are rationally arranged in a limited space and do not interfere with each other. At the same time, it is convenient for standardized assembly and subsequent individual debugging, maintenance and upgrade replacement, reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0076] In one embodiment, the side wall of the housing 11 is provided with a sound output hole 1116 and a sound input hole 1117; in the assembled state, the mounting bracket 151 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 11, the speaker 152 is aligned with the sound output hole 1116, and the microphone 153 is aligned with the sound input hole 1117.

[0077] In the above embodiments, by providing a sound output hole 1116 and a sound input hole 1117 on the side wall of the housing 11, and by ensuring that the mounting bracket 151 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the housing 11 in the assembled state, a direct and efficient acoustic communication path is formed between the speaker 152 and the sound output hole 1116, and between the microphone 153 and the sound input hole 1117. This shortens the sound wave transmission distance and reduces sound reflection, attenuation, or crosstalk within the cavity, thereby improving the clarity of the speaker 152 and the pickup sensitivity of the microphone 153. At the same time, the tight fit between the mounting bracket 151 and the inner wall of the housing 11 also plays a certain role in sealing and positioning, preventing the acoustic components 15 from loosening or shifting, and enhancing structural stability.

[0078] Specifically, the vertical support portion 141 of the fixed bracket 14 has a protruding mounting portion 143, which is located on the side away from the main control board 132; the mounting bracket 151 has a screw hole 1511, and is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 143 by fasteners such as screws passing through the screw hole 1511. By making the mounting part 143 protrude, it is ensured that the display control board 131 mounted on the top mounting platform 142 of the fixed bracket 14 is located directly below the through-hole 1112 and accurately corresponds to the perspective window 1211 on the control panel 12. At the same time, it ensures that the mounting bracket 151 fits tightly against the inner wall of the housing 11 in the assembled state, thereby ensuring that the acoustic components such as the speaker 152 and microphone 153 are precisely aligned with the corresponding sound output holes 1116 and sound input holes 1117 on the side wall of the housing 11, effectively improving acoustic transmission efficiency and overall structural stability. It also makes full use of the three-dimensional space inside the housing 111, realizing the functional partitioning and compact integration of the display module and the acoustic module, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the whole machine and the assembly reliability.

[0079] In one embodiment, the housing 11 includes a housing 111 and an end cap 112; one side of the housing 111 is open, and a recess 1111 is disposed on the top of the housing 111; the end cap 112 is detachably installed at the opening of the housing 111.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the design of the opening on one side of the housing 111 provides ample installation and operation space for core components such as the internal fixing bracket 14, controller assembly 13, and acoustic assembly 15. The positioning, fixing, and wiring of each component can be completed quickly and directly from the opening, avoiding the limitations of the closed housing 111 on assembly operations, greatly simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the end cover 112 is detachably installed at the opening of the housing 111, which can quickly close the opening of the housing 111 to form a complete protective cavity, effectively blocking external dust, moisture, etc. from corroding the internal electronic components and acoustic assembly 15, improving the protection level of the housing 11 and the working reliability of the internal electronic components. Moreover, the detachable connection of the end cover 112 provides convenience for subsequent maintenance, repair, and upgrades. It is not necessary to disassemble the entire housing 11 or damage the structure. The internal electronic components can be quickly accessed by removing the end cover 112 to realize fault diagnosis, component replacement, or function upgrade, reducing maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0081] In one embodiment, the housing 111 and the end cap 112 are stopped and engaged by a stop assembly; the stop assembly includes a stop groove 1131 and a stop platform 1132 that cooperate with each other, one of the stop groove 1131 and the stop platform 1132 is located at the periphery of the opening of the housing 111, and the other is located at the periphery of the end cap 112.

[0082] In the above embodiments, by providing mutually cooperating stop grooves 1131 and stop platforms 1132 around the opening of the housing 111 and around the end cover 112, a reliable stop assembly is formed, which realizes axial positioning of the two during the assembly process, preventing the end cover 112 from being misaligned, warped or having appearance differences during installation or use, and ensuring that the overall outline of the housing 11 is smooth and beautiful; at the same time, the stop structure can also block external pollutants such as dust and moisture from entering the interior of the housing 111 along the mating gap to a certain extent, improving the product's sealing performance and environmental adaptability.

[0083] Specifically, the end cap 112 includes a cover plate 1121 and an extension edge 1122. The extension edge 1122 extends from the periphery of the cover plate 1121 toward the housing 111. The extension edge 1122 is arranged around the circumference of the cover plate 1121 and is used to connect with the inner wall or mating structure of the housing 111 when the end cap 112 is assembled to the opening of the housing 111, thereby realizing the functions of positioning, sealing and fixing.

[0084] In this embodiment, the stop groove 1131 is disposed at the periphery of the opening of the housing 111 and is continuously disposed around the periphery of the opening; the stop platform 1132 protrudes from the outer surface of the extension edge 1122 of the end cover 112 and is continuously disposed around the periphery of the end cover 112; during assembly, the extension edge 1122 of the end cover 112 is inserted into the interior of the housing 111 from the opening of the housing 111, so that the stop platform 1132 and the stop groove 1131 fit together to form a continuous circumferential snap fit, thereby realizing precise alignment, axial limiting and reliable sealing connection between the end cover 112 and the housing 111.

[0085] In one embodiment, the housing 111 and the end cap 112 are engaged by a snap-fit ​​assembly; the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​groove 1141 and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1142 that cooperate with each other, one of the snap-fit ​​groove 1141 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1142 being located at the periphery of the opening of the housing 111, and the other being located at the periphery of the end cap 112.

[0086] In the above embodiments, by providing mutually cooperating snap-fit ​​protrusions 1142 and snap-fit ​​grooves 1141 at the periphery of the housing 111 and the end cap 112, a snap-fit ​​assembly is formed, enabling quick, reliable, and tool-free pre-assembly between the two. Based on the initial positioning by the stop assembly, the snap-fit ​​assembly further restricts the axial or circumferential displacement of the end cap 112, preventing accidental loosening during transportation, handling, or use. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​engagement has good elastic reset capability, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the end cap 112 and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, since the snap-fit ​​structure is integrated into the periphery of the opening, it does not occupy additional space and eliminates the need for screws or other fasteners 1152, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the simplicity and integrity of the housing 11's appearance.

[0087] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​groove 1141 is disposed on the outer surface of the extension edge 1122 of the end cap 112 and is located on the side of the stop platform 1132 away from the cover plate 1121; the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1142 is disposed at the periphery of the opening of the housing 111 and is located on the side of the stop groove 1131 away from the opening direction of the housing 111; during the assembly process, the extension edge 1122 of the end cap 112 is inserted into the housing 111 from the opening of the housing 111, so that the stop platform 1132 and the stop groove 1131 first engage to achieve axial positioning and circumferential alignment, and then the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1142 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 1141 to form a reliable secondary lock, thereby enhancing the connection stability and anti-loosening ability between the end cap 112 and the housing 111.

[0088] Specifically, the extension edge 1122 is provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 1141 on both sides; correspondingly, the periphery of the opening of the housing 111 is provided with two corresponding snap-fit ​​protrusions 1142. During assembly, the snap-fit ​​grooves 1141 on both sides are synchronously snap-fitted with the corresponding snap-fit ​​protrusions 1142, thereby ensuring that the end cover 112 is subjected to balanced force.

[0089] In one embodiment, the housing 111 and the end cap 112 are detachably connected by a fastening assembly; the fastening assembly includes a connecting hole 1151, a connecting post, and a fastener 1152; the connecting hole 1151 is located on the periphery of the opening of the housing 111; the connecting post is located on the periphery of the end cap 112 and has a threaded hole inside; the fastener 1152 passes through the connecting hole 1151 and is connected to the threaded hole.

[0090] In the above embodiment, a secure and detachable connection between the housing 111 and the end cap 112 is achieved by providing a fastening assembly consisting of a connecting hole 1151, a connecting post with a threaded hole, and a fastener 1152. The connecting hole 1151 is located on the periphery of the opening of the housing 111, and the connecting post is integrated into the periphery of the end cap 112. The two are locked together by the fastener 1152, which not only ensures that the end cap 112 will not loosen due to vibration or external force during long-term use, but also works in conjunction with the stop assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly to improve the stability and sealing reliability of the overall structure. Furthermore, the fastening assembly is hidden within the periphery, which does not affect the overall appearance of the product; the threaded hole in the connecting post eliminates the need for additional parts such as nuts, simplifies the assembly process, and reduces material costs.

[0091] In this embodiment, the connecting post is disposed on the bottom surface of the extension edge 1122 of the end cap 112, and has a threaded hole inside; the connecting hole 1151 is disposed on the bottom surface of the periphery of the opening of the housing 111. During the assembly process, the extension edge 1122 of the end cap 112 is inserted into the housing 111 from the opening of the housing 111. First, the axial limit and circumferential precise alignment are achieved by the engagement of the stop plate 1132 and the stop groove 1131. Then, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1142 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1141 complete the snap-fit, forming a reliable secondary lock to prevent loosening. Finally, the fasteners such as screws 1152 pass through the connecting hole 1151 on the housing 111 and are screwed into the threaded hole of the connecting post to achieve a firm and detachable connection between the end cap 112 and the housing 111.

[0092] Preferably, the bottom of the housing 111 is also provided with casters as pulley assembly 16 to facilitate the movement of the control device 1.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a heating device is also provided, including the control device 1 for the heating device described above.

[0094] Specifically, the heating equipment includes a main heating mechanism 2 for providing heat energy, and a control device 1 is located at the end of the main heating mechanism 2 for operating and regulating parameters such as heating power, operating mode and temperature, so as to realize human-machine interaction and intelligent management.

[0095] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended application.
