[0043] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 16 A panel assembly 100 of a cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The panel assembly 100 of the cooking device according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a support panel 1 and a control panel 4. The top wall of the support panel 1 is provided with a support assembly 2. The support assembly 2 comprises a first support surface 211 extending in a horizontal direction. The first support surface 211 is used to support the pot 7. The control panel 4 is provided with an operation area 41 suitable for controlling the cooking device 200. The control panel 4 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed plastic parts, and there is a height difference between the top wall of the control panel 4 and the first support surface 211.

[0045] It should be noted that there is a height difference between the top wall of the control panel 4 and the first supporting surface 211 , and the top wall of the control panel 4 may be lower than the first supporting surface 211 , or the top wall of the control panel 4 may be higher than the first supporting surface 211 .

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the top wall of the control panel 4 is lower than the first support surface 211. Compared with the technical solution in the related art that the support surface of the cookware 7 and the operating area 41 are on the same horizontal plane, the embodiment of the utility model increases the distance between the control panel 4 and the cookware 7, increases the operating space of the user using the operating area 41, and effectively improves the convenience of using the cooking device 200.

[0047] In other specific embodiments, the top wall of the control panel 4 is higher than the first supporting surface 211, which protrudes the position of the control panel 4, making the control panel 4 more obvious and convenient for users to use. In addition, the step formed by the height difference between the control panel 4 and the supporting panel 1 can also limit the cookware 7, restricting the freedom of movement of the cookware 7 in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the stability of the cookware 7.

[0048] In summary, no matter the top wall of the control panel 4 is lower than the first support surface 211 or the top wall of the control panel 4 is higher than the first support surface 211 , the convenience of the user in using the operating area 41 can be improved.

[0049] According to the panel assembly 100 of the cooking device in the embodiment of the utility model, there is a height difference between the top wall of the control panel 4 and the first support surface 211, which improves the convenience for users to use the operation area 41. In the embodiment of the utility model, the control panel 4 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed structural parts, which not only improves the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100, but also reduces the production cost of the panel assembly 100. The panel assembly 100 is constructed as a plastic structural part, which not only has a low material cost, but also facilitates the molding of the panel assembly 100, further reducing the cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the panel assembly 100 is constructed as a BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) structural member. BMC material is a bulk molding compound, which has the properties of precise size control, good flame retardancy and anti-tracking, high dielectric strength, corrosion resistance and stain resistance, and effectively prolongs the service life of the panel assembly 100.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support panel 1 protrudes from the control panel 4 , and the control panel 4 is arranged around the periphery of the support panel 1 .

[0052] In the embodiment of the utility model, the top wall of the control panel 4 is lower than the top wall of the support panel 1, which increases the distance between the control panel 4 and the pot 7, increases the operation space when the user uses the operation area 41, and effectively improves the convenience of using the cooking device 200. In addition, the control panel 4 is arranged around the periphery of the support panel 1, which ensures the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100 and extends the service life of the panel assembly 100. In addition, the control panel 4 is arranged around the periphery of the support panel 1, which also makes the overall outer contour of the panel assembly 100 on the same horizontal plane, which facilitates the panel assembly 100 to cooperate with the base 8 of the cooking device 200, and reduces the assembly cost of the cooking device 200.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the operation area 41 includes a plurality of operation holes 411, each of which is suitable for correspondingly setting at least one operation key 5, and the user can control the working state of the cooking device 200 by triggering the operation key 5 in the operation area 41. The operation area 41 of the panel assembly 100 in the embodiment of the utility model has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, thereby reducing the cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0054] It should be noted that the operation hole 411 may be circular, rectangular, polygonal or irregular, and the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the operation hole 411. In addition, one operation key 5 may be provided in one operation hole 411, or multiple operation keys 5 may be provided in one operation hole 411, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0055] In other embodiments, the operation area 41 of the control panel 4 is constructed to have a thickness lower than that of other parts of the operation panel, so that the operation area 41 can be elastically deformed downward, and the user can press the operation area 41 to trigger the operation key 5 below the operation area 41. The design of the embodiment of the utility model reduces the penetration of external water stains, oil stains and other substances to the bottom of the panel assembly 100, reducing the risk of damage to the cooking device 200.

[0056] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some other embodiments, the operation area 41 of the control panel 4 is provided with an installation opening 412 , and the installation opening 412 is suitable for installing the touch panel 3 , and the touch panel 3 is suitable for communicating with the control module of the cooking device 200 .

[0057] It should be understood that the operation area 41 may also be designed as other structures as long as the user can control the cooking device 200 through the operation area 41 .

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the top wall of the supporting panel 1 includes a first plane 11 and a second plane 12, the first plane 11 is arranged on a side of the second plane 12 close to the center of the supporting panel 1, the first plane 11 is lower than the second plane 12, and the second plane 12 is arranged around the first plane 11.

[0059] The support assembly 2 is used to support the cookware 7. At least a portion of the support assembly 2 is arranged on the second plane 12. The support assembly 2 includes a first support surface 211 and a second support surface 212. The first support surface 211 is located on the side of the second support surface 212 away from the first plane 11. The first support surface 211 extends in a horizontal direction, and the second support surface 212 extends downward in a direction away from the first support surface 211.

[0060] The various pots 7 can be divided into flat-bottomed pots 71 and concave-bottomed pots 72 according to the shape of the bottom. The bottom wall of the flat-bottomed pot 71 is flat, and the bottom wall of the concave-bottomed pot 72 is at least partially concave relative to the flat-bottomed pot 71. The concave-bottomed pot 72 can be a round-bottomed pot 7, a conical-bottomed pot 7 or a pot 7 of another shape that is at least partially concave.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the first support surface 211 of the support assembly 2 extends in the horizontal direction. When the user uses the flat-bottomed pan 71, the flat-bottomed pan 71 is placed on the panel assembly 100, and the first support surface 211 contacts the flat bottom wall of the flat-bottomed pan 71 to support the flat-bottomed pan 71. The first plane 11 is lower than the first support surface 211, so an air layer is formed between the first plane 11 and the flat-bottomed pan 71, which improves the heat transfer of the pan 7 toward the panel assembly 100, reduces the waste of heat energy, and reduces the risk of damage to the panel assembly 100.

[0062] The first plane 11 is lower than the second plane 12, so that the panel assembly 100 is more easily adapted to the concave bottom pot 72, and the second support surface 212 of the support assembly 2 extends downwardly at a side facing the first plane 11. Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.16 When the user uses the concave bottom cookware 72 , the concave bottom cookware 72 is placed on the panel assembly 100 , and at least part of the concave bottom cookware 72 is concave to the lower side of the first supporting surface 211 , and the second supporting surface 212 is suitable for supporting the concave bottom wall of the concave bottom cookware 72 .

[0063] If the concave bottom cookware 72 is concave at a shallow depth, an air layer is formed between the first plane 11 and the concave bottom cookware 72, thereby improving the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100 and reducing the waste of heat energy; if the concave bottom cookware 72 is concave at a deep depth, the concave bottom cookware 72 contacts the first plane 11, that is, the first plane 11 also supports the concave bottom cookware 72, thereby further improving the stability of the concave bottom cookware 72.

[0064] In the embodiment of the utility model, through the cooperation of the first supporting surface 211 and the second supporting surface 212, the panel assembly 100 can not only support the flat-bottomed pot 71, but also support a variety of different types of concave-bottomed pots 72, thereby increasing the application range of the cooking device 200; and through the first plane 11 being lower than the second plane 12, the panel assembly 100 can be more adapted to the concave-bottomed pot 72, and an air layer can be formed between the pot 7 and the panel assembly 100, thereby improving the heat transfer of the pot 7 toward the panel assembly 100, reducing the waste of heat energy, and reducing the risk of damage to the panel assembly 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, the support assembly 2 includes a first support member 21 protruding from the support panel 1 , and the first support member 21 defines a first support surface 211 and a second support surface 212 .

[0066] By protruding the first support member 21 from the support panel 1, the heights of the first support surface 211 and the second support surface 212 are further raised, thereby increasing the air layer between the cookware 7 and the panel assembly 100, and further improving the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first support surface 211 is formed as a plane, and the second support surface 212 is connected to the inner side of the first support surface 211. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 211 is suitable for surface contact with the flat-bottomed pan 71, which ensures the stability of the flat-bottomed pan 71 and reduces the risk of sliding of the flat-bottomed pan 71. In other embodiments, the first support surface 211 can also be in line contact with the flat-bottomed pan 71, reducing the contact area between the flat-bottomed pan 71 and the panel assembly 100, reducing the heat of the pan 7 directed to the panel assembly 100, and improving the utilization rate of the heat.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, the first support member 21 is formed into a long strip extending toward the central area of ​​the first plane 11, and the first support surface 211 and the second support surface 212 are arranged in the length direction of the first support member 21. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 211 extends in a direction away from the central area of ​​the first plane 11, so that the first support surface 211 can support a larger pan 71, further expanding the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0069] In some embodiments, a portion of the first support member 21 is located on the first plane 11 and another portion is located on the second plane 12 , thereby improving the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100 .

[0070] In some specific embodiments, the portion of the first support member 21 where the first support surface 211 is provided extends from the second plane 12 to the first plane 11 .

[0071] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 211 protrudes from the second plane 12 in the horizontal direction, and the second support surface 212 is located on the side of the first support surface 211 away from the second plane 12. When the second support surface 212 supports the concave bottom pot 72, there is a gap between the concave bottom pot 72 and the second plane 12 in the horizontal direction, which further increases the air layer between the concave bottom pot 72 and the panel assembly 100, further improves the heat transfer of the pot 7 toward the panel assembly 100, and reduces the risk of damage to the panel assembly 100. In addition, the first support surface 211 extends to the first plane 11, so that the first support surface 211 can also support a smaller flat-bottom pot 71, further increasing the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the first supporting surface 211 is higher than the second plane 12. When the first supporting surface 211 supports the cookware 7, an air layer is formed between the cookware 7 and the second plane 12 in the vertical direction, which further improves the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100 and reduces the risk of damage to the panel assembly 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, there are multiple first support members 21 and they are arranged around the first plane 11. The cookware 7 is supported by multiple first support members 21, which ensures the stability of the cookware 7. The gap between two adjacent first support members 21 increases the air layer between the cookware 7 and the supporting panel 1, further improving the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0074] Reference Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, four first support members 21 are provided, and the four first support members 21 are evenly distributed around the first plane 11. In some other embodiments, the number of the first support members 21 can also be three, five, six, or other numbers, and the utility model is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the number of the first support member 21 can also be one, and the first support member 21 is configured as an annular structure that is externally mounted on the first plane 11.

[0075] In the above solutions, the first support surface 211 is a plane. In other embodiments, the first support member 21 may be provided with support ribs protruding from the first support member 21 and extending horizontally to define the first support surface 211. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support member 21 may support the flat-bottomed pan 71 through the support ribs, thereby reducing the contact area between the first support member 21 and the flat-bottomed pan 71 and further improving the heat transfer of the pan 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second supporting surface 212 is formed as an arc-shaped surface, which is suitable for matching the curvature of the bottom wall of the concave bottom cookware 72. When the second supporting surface 212 supports the bottom wall of the concave bottom cookware 72, the arc-shaped surface can fit with the bottom wall of the concave bottom cookware 72, thereby effectively improving the stability of the support of the second supporting surface 212.

[0077] In other embodiments, the second supporting surface 212 is formed as an inclined surface. On the one hand, the second supporting surface 212 in the embodiment of the utility model is easy to form, which reduces the processing cost of the first supporting member 21; on the other hand, the inclined surface can support more shapes of concave bottom pots 72, further increasing the application range of the cooking equipment 200.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the first support member 21 is provided with oblique ribs protruding therefrom and extending obliquely downward to define the second support surface 212. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support member 21 can support the concave bottom pot 72 through the oblique ribs, reducing the contact area between the first support member 21 and the concave bottom pot 72, and further improving the heat transfer of the pot 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a first groove 13 is provided on the top wall of the support panel 1, a protrusion 14 is provided in the first groove 13, and a top wall of the protrusion 14 defines a first plane 11. The protrusion 14 enhances the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100.

[0080] In some further embodiments, the shape of the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 13 and the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 14 are different to reduce the concentrated stress of the panel assembly 100 .

[0081] Furthermore, the shape of the inner circumferential wall of the first groove 13 is different from the shape of the outer circumferential wall of the protrusion 14, so that a gap is formed between the inner circumferential wall of the first groove 13 and the outer circumferential wall of the protrusion 14, thereby further increasing the air layer between the cooker 7 and the panel assembly 100, further improving the heat transfer of the cooker 7 toward the panel assembly 100, and reducing the risk of damage to the panel assembly 100.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 13 is formed into a rectangle, and the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 14 is formed into a circle. In some other embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 13 can also be formed into a pentagon, hexagon, etc., and the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 14 can also be formed into a triangle, square, etc. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific shape of the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 13 and the specific shape of the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 14, as long as the shape of the inner peripheral wall of the first groove 13 and the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 14 are different.

[0083] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first support member 21 is integrally formed with the support panel 1 , which reduces the cost of the panel assembly 100 and improves the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100 .

[0084] Reference Fig. 9 In other embodiments, the first support member 21 includes a main body portion 213 and a metal support member 214. The main body portion 213 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed. The metal support member 214 is arranged on the top of the main body portion 213 to support the cookware 7. The above-mentioned first support surface 211 and second support surface 212 are formed on the metal support member 214.

[0085] In the above technical solution, the main body 213 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed to reduce the cost of the panel assembly 100 and improve the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100. The first support member 21 supports the cookware 7 through the metal support member 214, avoiding direct contact between the main body 213 and the cookware 7, thereby reducing the risk of the cookware 7 scalding the panel assembly 100.

[0086] In some specific embodiments, the metal support 214 is connected to the main body 213 by injection molding; in some other embodiments, the metal support 214 and the main body 213 can also be connected by bonding, clamping, screwing, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0087] Reference Fig.12 In some other specific embodiments, the overall extension direction of the first support member 21 is perpendicular to the direction of the first support member 21 toward the central area of ​​the support panel 1, and the first support surface 211 and the second support surface 212 are arranged in the width direction of the first support member 21. In the embodiment of the utility model, the inclined surface length of the second support surface 212 is relatively long, which can have a larger contact area with the concave bottom cookware 72, thereby improving the stability of the concave bottom cookware 72.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first support members 21 are multiple and are arranged at intervals around the central area of ​​the support panel 1. The overall extension direction of the first support member 21 is perpendicular to the direction of the first support member 21 toward the second support member, and the first support surface 211 and the second support surface 212 are arranged in the width direction of the first support member 21. In addition, in the length direction of the first support member 21, the first support member 21 includes a first end and a second end, the volume of the first end is greater than the volume of the second end, and the first end of one of the circumferentially adjacent first support members 21 is arranged close to the second end of another first support member 21. Through the above technical solution, the structural strength of the panel assembly 100 is increased.

[0089] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the support assembly 2 further includes a heat conductive member 22 disposed on the support panel 1, and the heat conductive member 22 is respectively adapted to abut against the pot 7 and the first temperature measuring structure 9. When the cooking device 200 is working, the first temperature measuring structure 9 of the cooking device 200 is adapted to detect the temperature of the pot 7 through the heat conductive member 22, so that the cooking device 200 can control the power of the heating coil 6, ensure the cooking effect of the cooking device 200, and improve the reliability of the use of the cooking device 200.

[0090] In addition, the support panel 1 is in contact with the cookware 7 via the heat conducting member 22 , which reduces the contact area between the support panel 1 and the cookware 7 , reduces the risk of the support panel 1 being scalded by the cookware 7 , and extends the service life of the panel assembly 100 .

[0091] It should be noted that the material of the heat conducting member 22 may be metal, glass or ceramic, or other materials, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0092] In some specific embodiments, the support panel 1 is provided with a first avoidance hole 15 for avoiding the first temperature measuring structure 9 , and the first temperature measuring structure 9 passes through the first avoidance hole 15 to abut against the heat conducting member 22 .

[0093] In the above technical solution, the first temperature measuring structure 9 passes through the first avoidance hole 15 and stops at the heat conductor 22, thereby avoiding contact between the first temperature measuring structure 9 and the supporting panel 1, avoiding the influence of the temperature of the supporting panel 1 on the first temperature measuring structure 9, and improving the accuracy of the first temperature measuring structure 9.

[0094] In some further embodiments, the inner wall of the first avoidance hole 15 extends downward to form an extension wall 16 , and the extension wall 16 defines an installation space for the first temperature measuring structure 9 . The first temperature measuring structure 9 is suitable for being installed in the extension wall 16 .

[0095] In the above technical solution, the extension wall 16 not only ensures the stability of the first temperature measuring structure 9 , but also improves the structural strength of the panel assembly 100 .

[0096] In some further embodiments, the heat conducting member 22 covers the first avoidance hole 15 .

[0097] Through the above technical solution, the risk of water stains, oil stains and other substances entering the lower side of the panel assembly 100 through the first avoidance hole 15 is reduced, and the service life of the cooking device 200 is extended.

[0098] Reference Figure 8 In some specific embodiments, the support panel 1 is provided with a mounting groove 17 , which is constructed as an annular groove arranged around the first avoidance hole 15 , and the heat conducting member 22 is provided with an annular flange 221 , which is inserted into the mounting groove 17 .

[0099] Through the above technical solution, not only the stability of the connection between the heat conducting member 22 and the supporting panel 1 is improved, but also the possibility of water stains, oil stains and other substances passing through the first avoidance hole 15 is further reduced.

[0100] In some specific embodiments, the heat conductive member 22 is connected to the support panel 1 by injection molding; in some other embodiments, the heat conductive member 22 and the support panel 1 may also be connected by bonding, snapping, screwing, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0101] In some embodiments, the heat conductor 22 is disposed on the first plane 11, and the top surface of the heat conductor 22 is higher than the top surface of the first plane 11, which reduces the possibility of the cookware 7 contacting the first plane 11 and further reduces the risk of the support panel 1 being scalded.

[0102] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the maximum height difference between the top surface of the heat conducting member 22 and the first supporting surface 211 is B, and B satisfies: 0<B≤14mm.

[0103] If B=0, it will affect the second support surface 212 supporting the concave bottom pot 72. The larger the value of B, the more types of concave bottom pots 72 that the panel assembly 100 can support. However, because the heating coil 6 for heating the pot 7 in the cooking device 200 is arranged below the panel assembly 100, if B>14mm, when the first support surface 211 supports the pot 7, the distance between the pot 7 and the heating coil 6 is too large, affecting the heating effect of the pot 7. Therefore, in the embodiment of the utility model, B satisfies: 0<B≤14mm, so that the panel assembly 100 of the utility model can be applied to flat-bottomed pots 71 and various concave bottom pots 72, while also ensuring the heating effect of the cooking device 200 on the pot 7.

[0104] In some specific embodiments, the maximum height difference B between the top surface of the heat conducting member 22 and the first supporting surface 211 is 7 mm. In the embodiment of the utility model, the panel assembly 100 can be applied to the flat bottom pot 71 and various concave bottom pots 72, and the cooking device 200 has the best heating effect on the pot 7. In other embodiments, the maximum height difference B between the top surface of the heat conducting member 22 and the first supporting surface 211 can also be 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm or other sizes.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the first temperature measuring structure 9 of the cooking device 200 is suitable for detecting the temperature of the pot 7 by abutting against the heat conductive member 22 of the support assembly 2. In other embodiments, the first temperature measuring structure 9 of the cooking device 200 can also detect the temperature of the pot 7 by abutting against the first support member 21 of the support assembly 2.

[0106] Reference Fig.13and Fig.14 In some other embodiments, a second temperature measuring structure 91 is installed at the bottom of the support panel 1 through a mounting bracket 19, and at least a portion of the second temperature measuring structure 91 is penetrated through the support panel 1 through the first avoidance hole 15, and the second temperature measuring structure 91 is suitable for directly abutting against the pot 7 to sense the temperature of the pot 7. In the embodiment of the present application, the heat conducting member 22 is not provided to cover the first avoidance hole 15, so the second temperature measuring structure 91 can directly abut against the pot 7.

[0107] In the embodiment of the utility model, the second temperature measuring structure 91 can extend out of the first avoidance hole 15 to directly contact the pot 7 to detect the temperature of the pot 7, further improving the accuracy of the cooking device 200 in detecting the temperature of the pot 7.

[0108] In some further embodiments, the inner wall of the first avoidance hole 15 extends downward to form an extension wall 16 , and the extension wall 16 defines an installation space for the second temperature measuring structure 91 . The second temperature measuring structure 91 is suitable for being installed in the extension wall 16 .

[0109] In the above technical solution, the extension wall 16 not only ensures the stability of the second temperature measuring structure 91 , but also improves the structural strength of the panel assembly 100 .

[0110] Reference Fig.13 and Fig.14 In some specific embodiments, the mounting bracket 19 further includes a support spring 92, which is disposed in the extension wall 16, and the two ends of the support spring 92 respectively abut against the mounting bracket 19 and the second temperature measuring structure 91, and the support spring 92 is suitable for applying a force to the second temperature measuring structure 91, and the force is suitable for driving the second temperature measuring structure 91 to move upward. The second temperature measuring structure 91 is provided with a stop portion 93 protruding from its peripheral wall, and the stop portion 93 is suitable for abutting against the support panel 1 to limit the second temperature measuring structure 91 from completely passing through the first avoidance hole 15.

[0111] In the embodiment of the utility model, the second temperature measuring structure 91 can float up and down under the action of the support spring 92, thereby avoiding interference between the second temperature measuring structure 91 and the pot 7, and ensuring the stability of the support panel 1 supporting the pot 7. In addition, because the second temperature measuring structure 91 can float up and down, the second temperature measuring structure 91 can stop against the pot 7 with different degrees of concavity, thereby expanding the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0112] Reference Fig.15 In some embodiments, the support assembly 2 is integrally formed with the support panel 1 , a portion of the support panel 1 is tilted downward and recessed to define a second support surface 212 , and the rest of the support panel 1 defines a first support surface 211 .

[0113] In this embodiment, the support assembly 2 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed, which has a simple structure and reduces the cost of the cooking device 200.

[0114] In some specific embodiments, the support assembly 2 and the support panel 1 are integrally formed and made of ceramic, which is high temperature resistant and easy to form, thus extending the service life of the panel assembly 100 and reducing the cost of the panel assembly 100 .

[0115] In some specific embodiments, the downwardly concave portion of the support panel 1 defines a second groove 18 , and the sidewall of the second groove 18 is defined by a plurality of second supporting surfaces 212 connected in sequence.

[0116] In the above technical solution, the structure of the supporting panel 1 is simple, which reduces the cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0117] Reference Fig.11 In some embodiments, the panel assembly 100 includes a plurality of support panels 1, each of which is provided with a support assembly 2. One support panel 1 is suitable for supporting one pot 7. The plurality of support panels 1 enables the panel assembly 100 to support a plurality of pots 7 at the same time, further increasing the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0118] In some specific embodiments, two support panels 1 are provided, and the two support panels 1 are arranged in a linear shape. In some other embodiments, the support panels 1 can also be provided in other numbers such as three, four, five, etc., and the present utility model is not limited thereto.

[0122] In some embodiments, the heating coil 6 is disposed in the panel assembly 100 .

[0123] In the above technical solution, the heating coil 6 is arranged on the panel assembly 100, which reduces the distance between the heating coil 6 and the pot 7 and improves the heating effect on the pot 7. In some specific embodiments, the heating coil 6 is fixed to the bottom side of the panel assembly 100 by fasteners or mounting brackets.
