However, in actual use, if the user fails to remove the control panel in time when operating the control panel, it is easy to get his hand caught, which poses a safety hazard. In addition, if a faulty object is stuck in the lifting path of the control panel, the motor that controls the lifting will continue to run, which will cause damage to the motor, resulting in a high failure rate.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a control panel assembly, which can prevent the occurrence of hand pinching during operation, improve the safety of use, and reduce the failure rate of cooking appliances. The control panel assembly includes a control panel 1, a driving mechanism 2, and a sensing component.

[0042] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The control panel 1 is disposed in the housing 100 of the cooking appliance, and has an open state and a closed state relative to the housing 100. A sensing area 11 is disposed on the side of the control panel 1 facing the housing 100. The driving mechanism 2 is disposed in the housing 100, and is configured to drive the control panel 1 to move between the open state and the closed state. The sensing component is disposed in the sensing area 11, and is used to sense whether there is an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1. The driving mechanism 2 can stop when the sensing component detects an obstacle.

[0043] The control panel assembly provided in this embodiment has a sensing area 11 disposed on the side of the control panel 1 facing the housing 100, and a sensing component is disposed in the sensing area 11, so the sensing component can detect in real time whether there is an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1. When the user is operating the control panel 1, if the hand is between the control panel 1 and the housing 100, or there are other foreign objects between the control panel 1 and the housing 100, the sensing component will detect that there is an obstacle, so that the drive mechanism 2 can be controlled to stop in time to prevent the control panel 1 from continuing to move and pinching the user's hand, and to prevent the control panel 1 from being stuck by an obstacle and causing the drive mechanism 2 to be overloaded and damaged, which effectively improves the safety of the cooking appliance, while reducing the failure rate of the cooking appliance and enhancing the user experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a removable water tank 200 is disposed above the housing 100. When the control panel 1 is in the open state, the water tank 200 can be exposed, so that the user can conveniently pull out the water tank 200 to change water. When the control panel 1 is in the closed state, the control panel 1 can completely cover the water tank 200, and the front side of the control panel 1 is flush with the front side of the cooking utensil, ensuring that the front side of the cooking utensil is neat and beautiful.

[0045] Furthermore, the moving path of the control panel 1 includes the path of the control panel 1 moving up and down along the height direction of the cooking utensil and the path of the control panel 1 moving forward and backward along the cooking utensil. The sensing components of the sensing area 11 can detect whether there are obstacles around the control panel 1 in all directions to prevent hand pinching and overloading of the driving mechanism 2.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The control panel 1 is provided with an electrical component area 12 on one side facing the housing 100. The electrical component area 12 is located in the middle area of ​​the control panel 1. The sensing area 11 is annular. The annular sensing area 11 is located outside the electrical component area 12. The electrical component area 12 is used to arrange the control circuit board and electrical components to realize the electric control function. The sensing area 11 is designed to be annular so that the surrounding area of ​​the control panel 1 can be detected, thereby effectively preventing the control panel 1 from moving in the presence of obstacles, and providing better safety.

[0047] In other embodiments, the sensing area 11 may also be configured as a plurality of sensing area 11 segments spaced apart along the circumference of the control panel 1 , and a sensing component is disposed in each sensing area 11 segment.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the sensing component includes an electrostatic sensing element arranged in the sensing area 11. That is, the presence of an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1 is detected by electrostatic induction. Exemplarily, the electrostatic sensing element includes an electrostatic induction type reflection sensor, which measures the change of the approach or departure of an obstacle through an electrostatic field. When the electrostatic field changes, the capacitance inside the sensor chip will produce a value change, thereby detecting the presence of an obstacle, and at this time, the driving mechanism 2 is controlled to stop.

[0049] In another optional embodiment, the sensing component includes a signal transmitting element and a signal receiving element, the signal transmitting element is arranged in the sensing area 11, and the signal receiving element is arranged in the box 100 or the control panel 1. When encountering an obstacle, a part of the signal emitted by the signal transmitting element will be blocked by the obstacle, and at this time, the signal strength received by the signal receiving element will change. According to the signal strength received by the signal receiving element, it can be judged whether there is an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1, so that the driving mechanism 2 can be closed in time when there is an obstacle to prevent pinching accidents or avoid overload damage to the driving mechanism 2.

[0050] Exemplarily, the signal transmitting element includes an infrared emitting diode for emitting infrared rays, and the signal receiving element includes an infrared receiving diode, which can convert the received infrared energy into electrical energy and output it to the control system. The infrared emitting diode and the infrared receiving diode are usually connected through a pair of photoelectric couplers to realize the transmission and control of infrared signals, and determine whether there is an obstacle by processing the signal.

[0051] In other embodiments, the signal transmitting element may also be a shock wave transmitter, and correspondingly, the signal receiving element may be a shock wave receiver, which determines whether an obstacle exists through the shock wave signal.

[0052] Ultrasonic reflection sensors can emit ultrasonic waves. When the signal wave is reflected by an object, the receiver receives the signal and calculates the distance by measuring the reflection time. The distance of the object can be determined based on the received reflection time and signal strength.

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control panel assembly also includes a connecting rod assembly 3, and the driving mechanism 2 includes a driving member 21 and a mobile bracket 22 slidably disposed on the box 100. One end of the connecting rod assembly 3 is connected to the control panel 1, and the other end of the connecting rod assembly 3 is connected to the mobile bracket 22. The output end of the driving member 21 is transmission-connected to the mobile bracket 22, and is used to drive the mobile bracket 22 to drive the connecting rod assembly 3 to move, so that the control panel 1 is switched between the open state and the closed state. The driving member 21 is electrically connected to the control circuit board on the control panel 1. After the user selects the corresponding control program on the control panel 1, the control circuit board controls the opening and closing of the driving member 21 according to the control program, so as to realize the automatic opening and closing of the control panel 1.

[0054] Specifically in this embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The movable bracket 22 includes a support seat 221, a rotating arm 222 and a mounting frame 223 arranged on the rotating arm 222. The support seat 221 is slidably arranged on the top of the box body 100 along the front-back direction of the box body 100. One end of the rotating arm 222 is rotatably connected to the support seat 221, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod assembly 3. The output end of the driving member 21 is connected to the gear 211 in a transmission manner. The driving member 21 and the gear 211 are both arranged on the mounting frame 223. The driving mechanism 2 also includes a rack 23 arranged on the top of the box body 100, and the gear 211 is meshed with the rack 23 for transmission. When the driving member 21 drives the gear 211 to rotate, the mounting frame 223, the rotating arm 222 and the support seat 221 move relative to the box body 100 under the interaction of the gear 211 and the rack 23, so that the connecting rod assembly 3 drives the control panel 1 to move.

[0055] Furthermore, the rack 23 has a first straight section, an inclined section, and a second straight section connected in sequence, and the height of the second straight section is higher than the height of the first straight section. During the process of the driving member 21 driving the gear 211 from the first straight section to the second straight section via the inclined section, the support seat 221 moves forward relative to the box body 100, and at the same time, the rotating arm 222 rotates upward relative to the support seat 221 (refer to Figure 1In the direction of the middle, the connecting rod assembly 3 moves forward and is lifted upward with the rotating arm 222, so that the control panel 1 is opened forward and upward. On the contrary, when the driving member 21 drives the gear 211 to transmit from the second straight section to the first straight section via the inclined section, the support seat 221 moves backward relative to the box body 100, and the rotating arm 222 rotates downward relative to the support seat 221, so that the connecting rod assembly 3 moves backward and drops downward with the rotating arm 222, so that the control panel 1 is closed backward and downward.

[0056] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , two movable brackets 22 and connecting rod assemblies 3 are provided, which are respectively provided at the two ends of the control panel 1, and one driving member 21 is provided, and the mounting brackets 223 of the two movable brackets 22 are connected through the transmission rod 24. Specifically, the two mounting brackets 223 are provided with gears 211, and the two ends of the transmission rod 24 are connected to the two gears 211 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the driving member 21 can drive the two gears 211 to rotate synchronously, thereby making the two ends of the control panel 1 move synchronously, thereby improving the movement stability of the control panel 1.

[0057] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the top of the box body 100 is provided with a first detection switch 4 and a second detection switch 5 at intervals along the moving direction of the moving bracket 22, and the moving bracket 22 is provided with a contact portion 2211. When the contact portion 2211 contacts the first detection switch 4, the control panel 1 is in an open state, and when the contact portion 2211 contacts the second detection switch 5, the control panel 1 is in a closed state. In this embodiment, the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are both electrically connected to the control circuit board on the control panel 1, and the first detection switch 4 is closer to the control panel 1 than the second detection switch 5, and the distance between the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 is equal to the linear movement stroke of the control panel 1. When the contact portion 2211 contacts the first detection switch 4 or the second detection switch 5, the control circuit board controls the driving member 21 to stop. With such a configuration, the driving member 21 can be closed in time after the control panel 1 moves into position (open state or closed state) to prevent the driving member 21 from being overloaded.

[0058] Exemplarily, the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are both micro switches, the first detection switch 4 has a first spring sheet 41, the second detection switch 5 has a second spring sheet 51, and the contact portion 2211 protrudes on the support seat 221 toward the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5. When the contact portion 2211 elastically abuts against the first spring sheet 41 (the second spring sheet 51), the first detection switch 4 (the second detection switch 5) is triggered.

[0059] In other embodiments, the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 may also be position sensors, etc.

[0060] Optionally, see Figure 5 A limiting protrusion 101 is provided on the top of the box 100, and an elastic clamp (not shown) is provided on the movable bracket 22. When the control panel 1 is switched to the closed state, the elastic clamp is engaged with the limiting protrusion 101. When the control panel 1 is moved to the closed state, the elastic clamp is engaged with the limiting protrusion 101, which can lock the movable bracket 22 in the current position, prevent the control panel 1 from being accidentally opened, and improve the reliability of the control panel 1 after being closed. In this embodiment, the elastic clamp is an elastic sheet provided at the bottom of the support seat 221, and the elastic sheet is bent to form a slot, and the slot is engaged with the limiting protrusion 101.

[0061] In order to further improve the operating reliability of the driving member 21, the following design can be added on the basis of the above solution:

[0062] The driving member 21 includes a rotating motor, and the control panel assembly further includes a first detection member, which is used to detect the operating current of the rotating motor. The rotating motor can be shut down when the current detected by the first detection member exceeds the current threshold. When the current detected by the first detection member exceeds the current threshold, it indicates that the rotating motor is overloaded. At this time, the rotating motor is controlled to shut down to avoid damage to the rotating motor.

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, it is a control flow for executing the closing action of the control panel 1. Specifically, when the user selects the operation instruction to close the control panel 1 on the control panel 1, it is first determined whether the first detection switch 4 is in a triggered state and the second detection switch 5 is in an untriggered state; if not, it indicates that the first detection switch 4 and / or the second detection switch 5 are abnormal, and the closing action of the control panel 1 cannot be performed, and the fault information is displayed on the control panel 1, so that the user can take corresponding measures in time; if yes, it indicates that the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are both normal, and the rotating motor is controlled to start, and the first detection member detects the running current of the rotating motor in real time. If the current detected by the first detection member does not exceed the current threshold, after the control panel 1 is closed in place (that is, the first detection switch 4 is in an untriggered state, and the second detection switch 5 is triggered), the rotating motor is controlled to be closed to prevent the rotating motor from overloading. If the current detected by the first detection member exceeds the current threshold, the rotating motor is controlled to be closed immediately, and the fault information is displayed on the control panel 1 to prompt the user that the closing action of the control panel 1 is not completed, and it is necessary to detect and troubleshoot the fault. The cause of the fault may be that there is an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first detection component is a current sensor, the current threshold is the stall current of the rotating motor, and the stall current can be calculated based on electrical characteristic parameters of the rotating motor, such as rated voltage, rated power, and rated speed.

[0065] In order to further prevent the driving member 21 from being overloaded, the following design may be added on the basis of the above solution:

[0066] Optionally, the driving member 21 includes a rotating motor, and the control panel assembly further includes a second detection member, which is used to detect the number of rotations of the rotating motor, and the rotating motor can be shut down when the number of rotations detected by the second detection member reaches a set threshold. Specifically, during the closing (or opening) process of the control panel 1, when the number of rotations detected by the second detection member reaches a set threshold, it indicates that the control panel 1 has moved into place, and at this time, the rotating motor is controlled to shut down immediately to avoid overload damage to the rotating motor. Among them, the set threshold of the number of rotations can be determined based on preliminary tests, and the set threshold is calculated by measuring the relationship between the number of rotations of the rotating motor and the displacement of the control panel 1.

[0067] It is understandable that the first detection switch 4, the second detection switch 5 and the second detection member can be set at the same time, and the rotating motor can be controlled to stop in time through two feedback mechanisms to achieve a double insurance effect. Alternatively, only the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 can be set, or only the second detection member can be set.

[0068] Exemplarily, the second detection member is a rotary encoder with a counter, which is mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor to detect the number of rotations of the output shaft.

[0069] In other embodiments, the second detection element may also be a Hall sensor. During the rotation of the output shaft of the rotating motor, the Hall sensor detects signal changes at different positions, thereby deriving the number of rotations.

[0070] The present embodiment also provides a cooking utensil, comprising a housing 100, a cooking cavity, and a control panel assembly as described above, wherein the cooking cavity is disposed in the housing 100, and the control panel assembly is disposed outside the housing 100. In the cooking utensil using the control panel assembly, since the control panel 1 is provided with a sensing area 11 on the side facing the housing 100, and the sensing area 11 has a sensing component, the sensing component can detect in real time whether there is an obstacle on the moving path of the control panel 1. When the user is operating the control panel 1, if the hand is between the control panel 1 and the housing 100, or there are other foreign objects between the control panel 1 and the housing 100, the sensing component will detect that there is an obstacle, so that the driving mechanism 2 can be controlled to stop in time to prevent the control panel 1 from continuing to move and pinching the user's hand, and to prevent the control panel 1 from being stuck by an obstacle and causing overload damage to the driving mechanism 2, thereby effectively improving the safety of the cooking utensil, while reducing the failure rate of the cooking utensil, and enhancing the user experience.

[0071] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention is described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
