Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ovens, in particular to a control component and a cooking device. Background Art
[0002] At present, in outdoor cooking scenarios, the demand for waterproofing of cooking equipment is higher than that of household cooking equipment. In related technologies, only a sealing ring is provided for the assembly between the control panel and the shell. However, during use, the sealing ring may fail due to some harsh scenarios, causing the internal circuit board to short-circuit due to water. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.
[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides a control component.
[0005] An embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention provides a cooking device.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model provides a control component, including: a control base; a control box body, which is detachably connected to the control base, the control base and the control box body are connected to form an installation cavity, and there is an installation gap at the connection between the control box body and the control base; an electric control component, at least part of the electric control component is arranged in the control box body; a waterproof cover, which is arranged in the installation cavity, the waterproof cover is connected to the electric control component, part of the waterproof cover is located below the installation gap in the direction of gravity, and part of the waterproof cover is located above the direction of gravity of the electric control component.
[0007] According to the control assembly proposed by the utility model, including a control base, a control box body, an electric control assembly and a waterproof cover, the installation gap at the connection between the control box body and the control base can improve the waterproof effect through the design of the waterproof cover. Specifically, the detachable connection design between the control base and the control box body is not only convenient for installation and maintenance, but also allows a tight installation cavity to be formed between the two. This design allows the electric control assembly to be safely placed in the control box body, and the overall structural stability is enhanced through the support and fixation of the control base. The installation gap existing at the connection between the control box body and the control base may become a channel for moisture penetration, which is a part that requires special attention in the waterproof design.
[0008] It should be emphasized that the present solution sets a waterproof cover in the installation cavity, which can cover and protect the electronic control components and prevent moisture from directly contacting the electronic components. The waterproof cover is located below the gravity direction of the installation gap. Its function is to use the principle of gravity to guide the moisture that may pass through the gap to flow away from the electronic control components. This design effectively reduces the risk of moisture entering the installation cavity through the installation gap. The other part of the waterproof cover is located above the gravity direction of the electronic control components. This layout helps to form a waterproof barrier, which can prevent moisture from directly contacting the electronic control components to the greatest extent possible even if moisture penetrates from above or from the side.
[0009] Through the above design, the scheme effectively realizes the waterproof protection of the control components. The close cooperation between the control base and the control box body, plus the reasonable layout of the waterproof cover, together constitute a multi-level waterproof protection system. This system not only takes into account the application of waterproof materials, but also cleverly utilizes structural design and physical principles (such as gravity guidance), thereby greatly improving the overall waterproof performance. This is a very important design consideration for outdoor appliances or electrical control equipment used in humid environments, which can effectively extend the service life of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and improve user safety.
[0010] In some technical solutions, optionally, the electric control component includes: a fixed base, which is arranged in the control box body; and a circuit board, which is detachably connected to the fixed base.
[0011] In this technical solution, the design of the electric control component includes a fixed base and a detachably connected circuit board. The fixed base is arranged in the control box body and provides a stable support platform for the circuit board. The detachable connection design between the circuit board and the fixed base allows the circuit board to be easily removed when maintenance or replacement is required. This not only reduces maintenance time, but also reduces maintenance costs.
[0012] The design of the fixed base and circuit board not only enhances the structural stability and waterproof performance of the electronic control component, but also provides the possibility of easy maintenance and replacement through the detachable connection design. This design achieves a good balance in terms of waterproofness, stability and maintenance convenience, and is particularly suitable for electrical equipment that needs to operate outdoors or in humid environments. Through this carefully designed electronic control component, the service life of the equipment can be effectively extended, failures caused by water damage can be reduced, and the safety of the equipment and users can be guaranteed.
[0013] It should be added that by setting the fixing base inside the control box body, it can be waterproofed more easily. For example, waterproof sealing materials can be added to the surface and surrounding of the fixing base to reduce the risk of moisture entering the circuit board area through the fixing point. Of course, the detachable connection also allows special waterproof measures to be adopted at the connection, such as waterproof sealing rings or sealants, to further improve the waterproof performance of the entire control assembly. When removing and reconnecting the circuit board, these waterproof measures can be effectively retained or updated to ensure long-term waterproof effect.
[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, a first port is provided on a side of the control box body away from the control base, the fixed base is detachably connected to the first port, a second port is provided on the fixed base, and the electric control component also includes: a display panel, which is sealed and connected to the second port.
[0015] In this technical solution, a comprehensive waterproof electric control component system is formed by defining the specific connection mode and structural features between the control box body, the fixed base, and the display panel. Among them, a first port is provided on the side of the control box body away from the control base, so that the fixed base can be detachably connected to the control box body through the first port. A second port is provided on the fixed base, which is sealed and connected to the display panel. This connection method ensures that the interface between the display panel and the fixed base is in a completely sealed state, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating into the electric control component, which is crucial for waterproof protection of the display panel.
[0016] The sealed connection with the display panel through the second port not only provides waterproof performance, but also increases the stability and shock resistance of the display panel, which is especially important for electrical equipment in outdoor or sports environments.
[0017] This design achieves high waterproof performance and convenient maintenance of the electronic control components through the detachable connection between the first port of the control box and the fixed base, and the sealed connection between the second port on the fixed base and the display panel. The design of the first port allows easy access and maintenance of the fixed base, while the sealed connection between the second port and the display panel ensures waterproof protection of key electronic components. This design not only provides the necessary waterproof protection, but also takes into account the long-term use and convenience of maintenance of the equipment. It is an ideal electronic control component design for electrical equipment in outdoor or humid environments.
[0018] In addition, the presence of the first port requires additional waterproof measures, such as using a sealing ring or waterproof tape to ensure that water does not enter the control box through this interface. This design needs to find a balance between ensuring access convenience and waterproof performance.
[0019] In some technical solutions, optionally, the circuit board includes a knob panel and a key panel, and the projections of the knob panel and the key panel on the display panel are independent of each other.
[0020] In this technical solution, the knob plate and the key plate are designed as independent parts, and each part can be customized and optimized according to specific application requirements. For example, the knob plate may be specially designed to adjust a specific parameter, while the key plate is used to select or activate different functions.
[0021] When one of the knob board or key board fails, the independent design allows only the problematic portion to be replaced without having to replace the entire board, which reduces repair costs and time.
[0022] In addition, the independent design also allows greater flexibility in circuit board layout, which can optimize the circuit board layout to suit specific usage scenarios and user needs while maintaining waterproof performance.
[0023] Designing the knob panel and key panel to be independent of each other and not overlapping the projections on the display panel can provide a more intuitive and easy-to-use user interface. Users can more easily distinguish the functions of the knobs and keys, improving the accuracy and comfort of operation. The independent design is not only practical, but also provides more aesthetics and customization according to design requirements, making the final product more attractive to consumers.
[0024] In summary, the design of independent projection of the knob board and the key board on the display board not only improves the functionality and user experience of the circuit board, but also enhances the comprehensive performance of the entire control box by optimizing the waterproof performance and layout design. This design is an important aspect to consider for electronic devices, especially those that need to be used outdoors or work in humid environments.
[0025] Among them, on the display panel, the projections of the knob panel and the key panel are independent of each other, which means that the interfaces between them and between them and the display panel can be specially reinforced with waterproof measures, such as sealing rings or waterproof glue, thereby reducing the risk of moisture penetration through these interfaces.
[0026] In some technical solutions, optionally, a through hole is provided on the display panel, and the electronic control component also includes: a connecting structure, one end of which extends outward through the through hole; a knob structure, which is provided outside the control box body, and the knob structure is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the knob structure is connected to the connecting structure.
[0027] In this technical solution, the relative positional relationship between the through hole, the connection structure and the knob structure is defined. Specifically, the through hole is arranged on the display panel to provide a passage for the connection structure to pass through the display panel. Thus, electrical connection can be achieved without destroying the overall structure of the display panel. One end of the connection structure extends outward through the through hole. Such a design allows the circuit board to be electrically connected to an external device or component.
[0028] The knob structure is arranged outside the control box body, and can provide a direct operation interface for the user. The electrical connection between the knob structure and the circuit board allows the user to adjust parameters or perform other control functions through the knob.
[0029] The knob structure is connected to the connection structure, which ensures that the operation of the knob can be directly converted into an electrical signal on the circuit board to achieve precise control.
[0030] This design achieves efficient operation and stable connection of the electronic control components through the carefully arranged through-holes, connection structures and knob structures. The through-holes on the display board provide the necessary channels for the connection structures, while the connection structures serve as a bridge between the circuit board and the outside world. The knob structure not only provides an intuitive user interaction method, but also ensures the precision and reliability of operation.
[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, it further includes: a sealing ring, which is provided on the display panel, and the sealing ring is sleeved outside the connecting structure to seal the gap between the through hole and the connecting structure.
[0032] In this technical solution, a sealing ring is provided on the display panel to seal the gap between the through hole and the connection structure. By sealing these potential moisture and dust entry points, the protection level of the electronic control component can be significantly improved, thereby further enhancing the overall waterproof performance and ensuring the stability and safety of the electronic control component under various environmental conditions.
[0033] By setting a sealing ring on the display panel and sleeved outside the connection structure, the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the entire electronic control component are significantly improved. This design not only improves the environmental adaptability of the electronic control component, but also enhances its ability to operate stably for a long time. In addition, the use of the sealing ring also provides an additional layer of protection for the electronic control component, enabling it to resist various harsh environmental conditions, such as outdoor rain, dust, etc., ensuring the safe and reliable use of electrical equipment.
[0034] Of course, the sealing ring can also prevent moisture and corrosive substances from damaging the connection structure and extend the service life of the electronic control components.
[0035] In some technical solutions, optionally, the waterproof cover includes at least a guide section, a first end of the guide section is connected to an end of the electric control component close to the installation gap, the first end of the guide section is arranged in the control box body, and the second end of the guide section is arranged in the control base, and the guide section is inclined so that the liquid flowing from the installation gap to the guide section flows along the surface of the guide section to the second end.
[0036] In this technical solution, part of the waterproof cover is a guide section, and the first end of the guide section is connected to the end of the electric control component close to the installation gap, ensuring that any liquid that may enter through the installation gap can be immediately guided to the guide section. The guide section is set at an angle, and the principle of gravity is used to make the liquid flow along the surface of the guide section from the first end (located in the control box body) to the second end (located in the control base). The design of the guide section can prevent liquid from accumulating near the electric control component, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit or corrosion.
[0037] The guide section uses simple gravity guidance, which not only improves the adaptability of the electronic control components to the environment, but also reduces the potential risk of failure caused by liquid intrusion, providing users with a safer and more reliable product.
[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distance between the guide section and the plane where the installation gap is located changes monotonically, and a first distance between one end of the guide section and the installation gap is smaller than a second distance between the other end of the guide section and the installation gap.
[0039] In this technical solution, in the design of the guide section, the distance between the guide section and the plane where the installation gap is located changes monotonically, which can ensure that the liquid can flow smoothly from one end to the other end. The design of the guide section ensures that when the liquid flows from the installation gap to the guide section, it can flow along a monotonically changing path, which helps to reduce the resistance of the liquid flow and improve the diversion efficiency.
[0040] By adjusting the distance between the guide section and the installation gap, the flow rate of the liquid on the guide section can be controlled to avoid liquid splashing due to too fast flow rate or liquid accumulation due to too slow flow rate. The smaller distance between one end of the guide section and the installation gap means that the liquid can be quickly guided from the installation gap to the guide section, reducing the time the liquid stays in the control box. The smaller initial distance helps reduce the accumulation of liquid at the starting end of the guide section, thereby reducing the potential risks caused by liquid accumulation.
[0041] The distance between the other end of the guide section and the installation gap is larger, which provides a longer flow path for the liquid, helping to further reduce the residence time of the liquid in the control box. The larger distance helps to guide the liquid into the control base, away from the electronic control components, promotes the discharge of the liquid, and reduces the potential threat to the electronic control components.
[0042] The design of monotonically changing the distance between the guide section and the plane where the installation gap is located significantly improves the waterproof performance of the electronic control components by optimizing the liquid flow path and controlling the flow rate. This design can not only quickly respond to liquid intrusion, but also effectively promote the discharge of liquid, protecting the electronic control components from moisture and corrosion.
[0043] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a water leakage hole, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the control base.
[0044] In this technical solution, a drain hole is provided on the bottom surface of the control base, allowing any liquid accumulated in the control base to be discharged through the drain hole, thereby avoiding potential damage caused by liquid accumulation. The drain hole can prevent the accumulation of internal pressure caused by liquid accumulation, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the control base.
[0045] The presence of the leak hole can prevent electrical failures or safety accidents caused by liquid accumulation, and improve the safety of the entire electronic control component. It can be understood that it not only improves the adaptability of the electronic control component to the environment, but also reduces the potential risk of failure caused by liquid intrusion, providing users with a safer and more reliable product.
[0046] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a cooking device, including: a cooking body; and a control component, which is arranged on the cooking body.
[0047] The cooking device provided in the present application includes a cooking body and a control component. The cooking body is used to cook food, and the control component is used to control the operation of the cooking body.
[0048] Since the cooking device includes any of the above-mentioned control components, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned control components, which will not be described in detail here.
[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or will be understood through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0059] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0060] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 Some embodiments according to the present invention are described.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a control assembly 100 proposed in this embodiment includes a control base 102, a control box body 104, an electric control assembly 106 and a waterproof cover 108. For the installation gap 1042 at the connection between the control box body 104 and the control base 102, the waterproof effect can be improved by the design of the waterproof cover 108. Specifically, the detachable connection design between the control base 102 and the control box body 104 is not only convenient for installation and maintenance, but also allows a tight installation cavity 103 to be formed between the two. This design allows the electric control assembly 106 to be safely placed in the control box body 104, and the overall structural stability is enhanced by the support and fixation of the control base 102. The installation gap 1042 existing at the connection between the control box body 104 and the control base 102 may become a channel for water penetration, which is a part that requires special attention in the waterproof design.
[0062] It should be emphasized that the present solution sets a waterproof cover 108 in the installation cavity 103, which can cover and protect the electronic control component 106 and prevent moisture from directly contacting the electronic components. The waterproof cover 108 is partially located below the gravity direction of the installation gap 1042, and its function is to use the principle of gravity to guide the moisture that may pass through the gap to flow away from the electronic control component 106. Such a design effectively reduces the risk of moisture entering the interior of the installation cavity 103 through the installation gap 1042. Another part of the waterproof cover 108 is located above the gravity direction of the electronic control component. Such a layout helps to form a waterproof barrier, which can prevent moisture from directly contacting the electronic control component 106 to the greatest extent even if moisture infiltrates from above or from the side.
[0063] Through the above design, the solution effectively realizes the waterproof protection of the control assembly 100. The close cooperation between the control base 102 and the control box body 104, plus the reasonable layout of the waterproof cover 108, together constitute a multi-level waterproof protection system. This system not only takes into account the application of waterproof materials, but also cleverly utilizes structural design and physical principles (such as gravity guidance), thereby greatly improving the overall waterproof performance. This is a very important design consideration for outdoor electrical appliances or electrical control equipment used in humid environments, which can effectively extend the service life of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and improve user safety.
[0064] In some embodiments, the design of the electric control assembly 106 optionally includes a fixed base 1062 and a detachably connected circuit board 1064, wherein the fixed base 1062 is disposed in the control box body 104, and provides a stable support platform for the circuit board 1064. The detachable connection design between the circuit board 1064 and the fixed base 1062 enables the circuit board 1064 to be easily removed when maintenance or replacement is required. This not only reduces maintenance time, but also reduces maintenance costs.
[0065] The design of the fixed base 1062 and the circuit board 1064 not only enhances the structural stability and waterproof performance of the electric control component 106, but also provides the possibility of easy maintenance and replacement through the detachable connection design. This design achieves a good balance in terms of waterproofness, stability and maintenance convenience, and is particularly suitable for electrical equipment that needs to operate outdoors or in a humid environment. Through this carefully designed electric control component 106, the service life of the equipment can be effectively extended, the failure caused by water damage can be reduced, and the safety of the equipment and users can be guaranteed.
[0066] It should be added that by setting the fixing base 1062 in the control box body 104, it can be more easily waterproofed. For example, waterproof sealing materials can be added to the surface and surrounding of the fixing base 1062 to reduce the risk of moisture entering the circuit board 1064 area through the fixing point. Of course, the detachable connection also allows special waterproof measures to be used at the connection, such as a waterproof sealing ring 110 or a sealant, to further improve the waterproof performance of the entire control assembly 100. When the circuit board 1064 is disassembled and reconnected, these waterproof measures can be effectively retained or updated to ensure a long-term waterproof effect.
[0067] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 2 As shown, the specific connection mode and structural features between the control box body 104, the fixed base 1062, and the display panel 1074 are defined to form a comprehensive waterproof electric control component 106 system. Among them, the control box body 104 is provided with a first port 1041 on the side away from the control base 102, so that the fixed base 1062 can be detachably connected to the control box body 104 through the first port 1041. The fixed base 1062 is provided with a second port 1072, which is sealed and connected to the display panel 1074. This connection method ensures that the interface between the display panel 1074 and the fixed base 1062 is in a completely sealed state, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating into the interior of the electric control component 106, which is crucial to the waterproof protection of the display panel 1074.
[0068] The sealed connection between the second port 1072 and the display panel 1074 not only provides waterproof performance, but also increases the stability and shock resistance of the display panel 1074, which is particularly important for electrical equipment in outdoor or sports environments.
[0069] This design achieves high waterproof performance and convenient maintenance of the electric control assembly 106 by detachably connecting the first port 1041 of the control box 104 with the fixed base 1062, and sealingly connecting the second port 1072 on the fixed base 1062 with the display panel 1074. The design of the first port 1041 allows easy access and maintenance of the fixed base 1062, while the sealing connection between the second port 1072 and the display panel 1074 ensures waterproof protection of key electronic components. This design not only provides the necessary waterproof protection, but also takes into account the long-term use and convenience of maintenance of the equipment, and is an ideal design of the electric control assembly 106 for electrical equipment in outdoor or humid environments.
[0070] In addition, the presence of the first port 1041 requires additional waterproof measures, such as using a sealing ring 110 or waterproof tape, to ensure that water does not enter the control box body 104 through this interface. This design needs to find a balance between ensuring access convenience and waterproof performance.
[0071] In a specific embodiment, the knob panel 1066 and the key panel 1068 are designed as independent parts, and each part can be customized and optimized according to specific application requirements. For example, the knob panel 1066 may be specially designed to adjust a specific parameter, while the key panel 1068 is used to select or activate different functions.
[0072] When one of the knob board 1066 or the key board 1068 fails, the independent design allows only the problematic portion to be replaced without having to replace the entire circuit board 1064, which can reduce maintenance costs and time.
[0073] In addition, the independent design also allows greater flexibility in the layout of the circuit board 1064, and the layout of the circuit board 1064 can be optimized to adapt to specific usage scenarios and user needs while maintaining waterproof performance.
[0074] The knob plate 1066 and the key plate 1068 are designed to be independent of each other, and the projections on the display panel 1074 do not overlap, which can provide a more intuitive and easy-to-use user interface. Users can more easily distinguish the functions of the knobs and keys, improving the accuracy and comfort of operation. The independent design is not only practical, but also can provide more aesthetics and customization according to design requirements, making the final product more attractive to consumers.
[0075] In summary, the design of projecting the knob plate 1066 and the key plate 1068 independently on the display panel 1074 not only improves the functionality and user experience of the circuit board 1064, but also enhances the comprehensive performance of the entire control box body 104 by optimizing the waterproof performance and layout design. This design is an important aspect to consider for electronic devices, especially those that need to be used outdoors or work in a humid environment.
[0076] Among them, on the display panel 1074, the projections of the knob panel 1066 and the key panel 1068 are independent of each other, which means that the interfaces between them and between them and the display panel 1074 can be specially reinforced with waterproof measures, such as sealing rings 110 or waterproof glue, thereby reducing the risk of moisture penetration through these interfaces.
[0077] In another specific embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the relative positional relationship of the through hole 1075, the connection structure 1076 and the knob structure 1078 is defined. Specifically, the through hole is provided on the display panel 1074 to provide the connection structure 1076 with a passage through the display panel 1074. Thus, the electrical connection can be achieved without destroying the overall structure of the display panel 1074. One end of the connection structure 1076 extends outward through the through hole, and such a design allows the circuit board 1064 to be electrically connected to an external device or component.
[0078] The knob structure 1078 is disposed outside the control box body 104 and can provide a direct operation interface for the user. The electrical connection between the knob structure 1078 and the circuit board 1064 allows the user to adjust parameters or perform other control functions through the knob.
[0079] The knob structure 1078 is connected to the connection structure 1076, which ensures that the operation of the knob can be directly converted into an electrical signal on the circuit board 1064 to achieve precise control.
[0080] This design achieves efficient operation and stable connection of the electronic control assembly 106 through carefully arranged through holes, connection structure 1076 and knob structure 1078. The through holes on the display panel 1074 provide the necessary channels for the connection structure 1076, and the connection structure 1076 serves as a bridge between the circuit board 1064 and the outside world. The knob structure 1078 not only provides an intuitive user interaction method, but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of the operation.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, optionally, a sealing ring 110 is provided on the display panel 1074 to seal the gap between the through hole and the connection structure 1076. By sealing these potential moisture and dust entry points, the protection level of the electronic control component 106 can be significantly improved, thereby further enhancing the overall waterproof performance and ensuring the stability and safety of the electronic control component 106 under various environmental conditions.
[0082] By providing the sealing ring 110 on the display panel 1074 and sleeved on the connection structure 1076, the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the entire electric control component 106 are significantly improved. This design not only improves the environmental adaptability of the electric control component 106, but also enhances its ability to operate stably for a long time. In addition, the use of the sealing ring 110 also provides an additional protective layer for the electric control component 106, enabling it to resist various harsh environmental conditions, such as outdoor rain, dust, etc., ensuring the safe and reliable use of the electrical equipment.
[0083] Of course, the sealing ring 110 can also prevent moisture and corrosive substances from damaging the connection structure 1076 , thereby extending the service life of the electronic control component 106 .
[0084] In a specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, part of the waterproof cover 108 is a guide section 1082, and the first end of the guide section 1082 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown in the middle A part, the first end is connected to one end of the electric control component 106 near the installation gap 1042, and the first end is located above one end of the fixed base 1062, ensuring that any liquid that may enter through the installation gap 1042 can be immediately guided to the guide section 1082. The guide section 1082 is tilted, and the liquid flows from the first end (located in the control box body 104) to the second end (located in the control base 102) along the surface of the guide section 1082 by the principle of gravity. The design of the guide section 1082 can prevent liquid from accumulating near the electric control component 106, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit or corrosion.
[0085] The guide section 1082 not only improves the adaptability of the electronic control component 106 to the environment through simple gravity guidance, but also reduces the potential risk of failure caused by liquid intrusion, providing users with a safer and more reliable product.
[0086] In a specific embodiment, optionally, in the design of the guide section 1082, the distance between the guide section 1082 and the plane where the installation gap 1042 is located changes monotonically, which can ensure that the liquid can flow smoothly from one end to the other end. The design of the guide section 1082 ensures that when the liquid flows from the installation gap 1042 to the guide section 1082, it can flow along a monotonically changing path, which helps to reduce the resistance of the liquid flow and improve the diversion efficiency.
[0087] By adjusting the distance between the guide section 1082 and the installation gap 1042, the flow rate of the liquid on the guide section 1082 can be controlled to avoid liquid splashing due to too fast flow rate or liquid accumulation due to too slow flow rate. The distance between one end of the guide section 1082 and the installation gap 1042 is small, which means that the liquid can be quickly guided from the installation gap 1042 to the guide section 1082, reducing the time the liquid stays in the control box 104. The smaller initial distance helps to reduce the accumulation of liquid at the starting end of the guide section 1082, thereby reducing the potential risks caused by liquid accumulation.
[0088] The distance between the other end of the guide section 1082 and the installation gap 1042 is relatively large, which provides a longer flow path for the liquid, and helps to further reduce the residence time of the liquid in the control box body 104. The larger distance helps to guide the liquid into the control base 102, away from the electronic control component 106, promotes the discharge of the liquid, and reduces the potential threat to the electronic control component 106.
[0089] The design of monotonically changing the distance between the guide section 1082 and the plane where the installation gap 1042 is located significantly improves the waterproof performance of the electronic control component 106 by optimizing the liquid flow path and controlling the flow rate. This design can not only quickly respond to the intrusion of liquid, but also effectively promote the discharge of liquid, protecting the electronic control component 106 from moisture and corrosion.
[0090] In a specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 4 As shown, a drain hole 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the control base 102, allowing any liquid accumulated in the control base 102 to be discharged through the drain hole 112, thereby avoiding potential damage caused by liquid accumulation. The drain hole 112 can prevent the accumulation of internal pressure caused by liquid accumulation, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the control base 102.
[0091] The presence of the leak hole 112 can prevent electrical failure or safety accidents caused by liquid accumulation, and improve the safety of the entire electronic control component 106. It can be understood that not only the adaptability of the electronic control component 106 to the environment is improved, but also the potential failure risk caused by liquid intrusion is reduced, providing users with a safer and more reliable product.
[0092] In a specific embodiment, a control box waterproof system is provided, wherein the waterproof cover cooperates with the display screen fixing seat (i.e., the fixing base) to prevent water from entering the electronic components inside, affecting the use, and avoiding electric shock to consumers. Specifically, the installation matching surface of the display screen fixing seat and the waterproof cover is inside the installation gap (where water may enter), and the waterproof cover is designed to be downslope, so that the water entering can only flow away from the installation matching surface under the action of gravity.
[0093] The front display panel and the display screen fixing base are bonded with a circle of silicone seal to ensure the sealing. The knob shaft is sealed with a silicone pad to ensure the waterproof system of the entire control box assembly, protecting the internal knob PCB (Printed Circuit Board) board (i.e. knob board), key display PCB board (key board), and power PCB board, thereby achieving a waterproof function.
