BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water level display device provided in Example 1 of the utility model.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cooking device provided in Example 2 of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a water level display device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water level display device 100 includes a transparent window 101 , a display screen 102 and a light source 103 .

[0025] The light source is disposed on one side of the display screen close to the water tank 104 .

[0026] When the light from the light source hits the water surface in the water tank, it is reflected and then projected through the transparent window.

[0027] The screen display color of the display screen is consistent with the color of the light source. The screen display color of the display screen can specifically be the color of the display pattern.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, when the light emitted by the light source shines on the water surface in the water tank, it is projected through the transparent window after reflection. Since the screen display color of the display screen is consistent with the color of the light source, the water level change can be displayed more intuitively, making the observation results clearer and more understandable. At the same time, it can give users a sense of perspective technology, ensure the integration of interaction, and make the water level in the water tank feel like both real water waves and electronic display, which is both real and fake.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the light source includes a plurality of lamp beads. In this embodiment, the lamp beads may be ordinary lamp beads or LED lamp beads. The lamp beads are evenly arranged on a side of the display screen close to the water tank, and the color of the light emitted by the lamp beads is the same as the screen display color of the display screen.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the lamp beads are arranged in a dot matrix on one side of the display screen. Figure 1 As shown, the light beads are arranged in a dot matrix on the side of the display screen close to the water tank, evenly illuminating the water tank, so that the user can clearly observe the water level through the transparent window to determine whether there is enough water in the water tank.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the water level display device also includes a power supply, and the power supply is used to supply power to the light source and the display screen.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the power is disconnected, the display screen is turned off and the illumination of the light source is turned off, so that the display screen and the transparent window can be completely turned off.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the cooking device further comprises a housing 203, the water tank is arranged inside the housing, and the water level display device is engaged with the housing. Figure 2 As shown, the water level display device is connected to the housing, and the water level display device can move. In an optional embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the water tank includes a transparent front cover 204. When the light emitted by the light source is irradiated onto the water surface in the water tank, it is reflected and then projected out through the transparent front cover and the transparent window in sequence.

[0036] In this embodiment, the light emitted by the light source is irradiated onto the water surface of the water tank through the transparent front cover, and is then projected through the transparent front cover and the transparent window after being reflected, so that the water level of the water tank can be intuitively seen.

[0037] In another optional embodiment, a transparent water tank is directly used, and when the light emitted by the light source is irradiated onto the water surface in the water tank, it is reflected and then projected through the transparent water tank and the transparent window in sequence.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the water tank also includes a handle 205. In this embodiment, the water tank handle is arranged on the transparent front cover, which is convenient for pushing and pulling the water tank.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the cooking device further comprises a cooking cavity 206, which is arranged below the housing. In this embodiment, the cooking cavity is used to place food to be cooked.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the cooking device is any one of a steamer, an oven, a steam-oven, and a steam-oven-in-one machine.

[0041] In this embodiment, any one of a steamer, an oven, a steam-oven, and a steam-oven combination machine is selected as the cooking device, and the water level is observed through a water level display device to reduce the risk of dry burning due to lack of water and improve the safety of the cooking device.
