[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 A panel assembly 100 of a cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the utility model, the panel assembly 100 of the cooking device includes a main body 1 and a support assembly 8 arranged on the main body 1. The main body 1 includes a first plane 11 and a second plane 12. The first plane 11 is lower than the second plane 12, and the second plane 12 is arranged around the first plane 11.

[0037] The support assembly 8 is used to support the cookware 7. At least a portion of the support assembly 8 is disposed on the second plane 12. The support assembly 8 includes a first support surface 21 and a second support surface 22. The first support surface 21 is located on a side of the second support surface 22 that is away from the first plane 11. The first support surface 21 extends in a horizontal direction, and the second support surface 22 extends downward in a direction away from the first support surface 21.

[0038] In the above technical solution, the first support surface 21 of the support assembly 8 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 21 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 21, 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.

[0039] 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 22 of the support assembly 8 extends downwardly at a side facing the first plane 11. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 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 21 , and the second supporting surface 22 is suitable for supporting the concave bottom wall of the concave bottom cookware 72 .

[0040] 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.

[0041] It should be noted that the concave bottom cookware 72 may be a round bottom cookware, a conical bottom cookware or a cookware of other shapes that is at least partially concave.

[0042] According to the panel assembly 100 of the cooking device in the embodiment of the utility model, the cooperation between the first supporting surface 21 and the second supporting surface 22 of the supporting assembly 8 makes the panel assembly 100 of the utility model 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 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.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support assembly 8 includes a first support member 2 protruding from the main body 1 , and the first support member 2 defines a first support surface 21 and a second support surface 22 .

[0044] By protruding the first support member 2 from the main body 1, the heights of the first support surface 21 and the second support surface 22 are further raised, the air layer between the cookware 7 and the panel assembly 100 is increased, and the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100 is further improved.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first support surface 21 is formed as a plane, and the second support surface 22 is connected to the inner side of the first support surface 21. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 21 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 21 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.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the first support member 2 is formed into a long strip extending toward the center of the first plane 11, and the first support surface 21 and the second support surface 22 are arranged in the length direction of the first support member 2. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 21 extends in a direction away from the center of the first plane 11, so that the first support surface 21 can support a larger pan 71, further expanding the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, a portion of the first support member 2 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 .

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the portion of the first support member 2 where the first support surface 21 is provided extends from the second plane 12 to the first plane 11 .

[0049] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support surface 21 protrudes from the second plane 12 in the horizontal direction, and the second support surface 22 is located on the side of the first support surface 21 away from the second plane 12. When the second support surface 22 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 21 extends to the first plane 11, so that the first support surface 21 can also support a smaller flat-bottom pot 71, further increasing the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the first supporting surface 21 is higher than the second plane 12. When the first supporting surface 21 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.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple first support members 2 and they are arranged around the first plane 11. The cookware 7 is supported by multiple first support members 2, which ensures the stability of the cookware 7. The gap between two adjacent first support members 2 increases the air layer between the cookware 7 and the main body 1, further improving the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, four first support members 2 are provided, and the four first support members 2 are evenly distributed around the first plane 11. In some other embodiments, the number of the first support members 2 can also be three, five, six, or other numbers, and the utility model is not limited to this. In some other embodiments, the number of the first support member 2 can also be one, and the first support member 2 is configured as an annular structure that is externally mounted on the first plane 11, which reduces the difficulty of installing the first support member 2.

[0053] In the above solutions, the first support surface 21 is a plane. In other embodiments, the first support member 2 may be provided with protruding and horizontally extending support ribs to define the first support surface 21. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support member 2 may support the flat-bottomed pan 71 through the support ribs, thereby reducing the contact area between the first support member 2 and the flat-bottomed pan 71, and further improving the heat transfer of the pan 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second supporting surface 22 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 22 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, effectively improving the stability of the support of the second supporting surface 22.

[0055] In other embodiments, the second supporting surface 22 is formed as an inclined surface. On the one hand, the second supporting surface 22 in the embodiment of the utility model is easy to form, which reduces the processing cost of the first supporting member 2; 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.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the first support member 2 is provided with a protruding oblique rib extending obliquely downward to define the second support surface 22. In the embodiment of the utility model, the first support member 2 can support the concave bottom cookware 72 through the oblique rib, which reduces the contact area between the first support member 2 and the concave bottom cookware 72, and further improves the heat transfer of the cookware 7 toward the panel assembly 100.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first groove 13 is provided on the top wall of the main body 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.

[0058] 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 .

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a first supporting boss 4 protruding upward is provided on the top of the main body 1 , and the first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are provided on the top wall of the first supporting boss 4 .

[0062] In the above technical solution, the structural strength of the panel assembly 100 is enhanced by the first supporting boss 4, and the application range of the cooking device 200 is also increased. Through the design of the first supporting boss 4, the panel assembly 100 in the embodiment of the utility model can be applied to a built-in stove, for example, the main body 1 is arranged inside the stove, and the first supporting boss 4 protrudes to the top surface of the stove.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first support member 2 and the first support boss 4 are integrally formed, which reduces the cost of the panel assembly 100 and improves the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 100 .

[0064] Reference Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the first support member 2, the first support boss 4 and the main body 1 are all integrally formed parts, and the materials are all BMC (Bulk Molding Compound). Bulk molding compound has precise size control and is easy to mold, which is conducive to improving the refinement of the product. In addition, bulk molding compound has good flame retardancy, anti-tracking, corrosion resistance and stain resistance, which effectively prolongs the service life of the panel assembly.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, the first support member 2 includes a main body portion 23 and a metal support member 24. The main body portion 23 and the first supporting boss 4 are integrally formed. The metal support member 24 is disposed on the top of the main body portion 23 to support the cookware 7. The above-mentioned first supporting surface 21 and second supporting surface 22 are formed on the metal support member 24.

[0066] In the above technical solution, the main body 23 and the first supporting boss 4 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 2 supports the cookware 7 through the metal support member 24, avoiding direct contact between the main body 23 and the cookware 7, thereby reducing the risk of the cookware 7 scalding the panel assembly 100.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, the metal support 24 is connected to the main body 23 by injection molding; in some other embodiments, the metal support 24 and the main body 23 can also be connected by bonding, clamping, screwing, etc., and the utility model is not limited to this.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first plane 11 is provided with a second support member 3 for supporting the cookware 7, so as to avoid direct contact between the cookware 7 and the first plane 11, thereby reducing the risk of the panel assembly 100 being scalded. The second support member 3 may be made of metal, glass or ceramic, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, the second support member 3 and the protrusion 14 are connected by injection molding; in some other embodiments, the second support member 3 and the protrusion 14 can also be connected by bonding, clamping, screwing, etc., and the utility model is not limited to this.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the top surface of the second support member 3 is formed as a plane, so that the second support surface 22 can be used to support pots 7 of various shapes, thereby increasing the application range of the cooking device 200.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the maximum height difference between the top surface of the second support member 3 and the first support surface 21 is A, and A satisfies: 0<A≤14mm.

[0072] If A=0, it will affect the second support surface 22 supporting the concave bottom pot 72. The larger the value of A is, the more types of concave bottom pots 72 that the panel assembly 100 can support. However, because the heating module for heating the pot 7 in the cooking device 200 is arranged below the panel assembly 100, if A>14mm, when the first support surface 21 supports the pot 7, the distance between the pot 7 and the heating module is too large, affecting the heating effect of the pot 7. Therefore, in the embodiment of the utility model, A satisfies: 0<A≤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.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the maximum value A of the height difference between the top surface of the second support member 3 and the first support surface 21 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 value A of the height difference between the top surface of the second support member 3 and the first support surface 21 can also be 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm or other sizes.

[0074] In some embodiments, the top surface of the second support member 3 is lower than the lowest point of the second support surface 22 , so as to prevent the second support member 3 from affecting the second support surface 22 in supporting the cookware 7 .

[0075] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the support component 8 is a second support boss 81 that protrudes from the main body 1 and is integrally formed with the main body 1. A portion of the second support boss 81 is tilted downward and recessed to define a second support surface 22 and a first plane 11. The remaining portion of the second support boss 81 defines the first support surface 21, and the second plane 12 is coplanar with the first support surface 21.

[0076] It should be noted that the second supporting boss 81 is different from the first supporting boss 4 in the above embodiment. The supporting assembly 8 in the above embodiment is arranged on the first supporting boss 4 (such as Figure 2 ), and in this embodiment, the second supporting boss 81 is the supporting component 8. The embodiment of the present application defines the first supporting surface 21 and the second supporting surface 22 through the second supporting boss 81, which has a simple structure and reduces the cost of the cooking device 200.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the second supporting boss 81 and the main body 1 are integrally formed and made of ceramic, which is resistant to high temperatures and easy to form, thereby extending the service life of the panel assembly 100 and reducing the cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0078] Reference Figure 7 In some specific embodiments, the downwardly recessed portion of the second supporting boss 81 defines a second groove 82 , the side walls of the second groove 82 are defined by a plurality of sequentially connected second supporting surfaces 22 , and the bottom wall of the second groove 82 is defined by the first plane 11 .

[0079] In the above technical solution, the second supporting boss 81 has a simple structure, which reduces the cost of the panel assembly 100 .

[0080] Reference Figure 7 In some further embodiments, the second groove 82 includes a central portion 821 and a branch portion 822 connected to the central portion 821, the central portion 821 is arranged in the central area of ​​the second supporting boss 81, and the branch portion 822 extends in a direction away from the central portion 821. The branch portion 822 is used to guide the air around the pot 7 into the central portion 821 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the panel assembly 100, reduce the heat energy transferred toward the cooking device 200, and reduce the risk of damage to the cooking device 200.
