Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of induction cookers, in particular to a panel component and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the panel of an induction cooker is usually made of a combination of two materials. The glass material in the middle used for cooking is different from the glass material on the outside used for control. When connecting the two, the relevant technology will use a U-shaped aluminum strip or a connecting strip of other materials to cover the outer glass. However, in actual use, the U-shaped structure will deform, resulting in the glass being unable to be clamped in the U-shaped structure, affecting the reliability of the product. 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 panel assembly.

[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 panel assembly, including: a panel body, including a first body and a second body arranged at intervals; a splicing piece, arranged between the first body and the second body, the splicing piece including a shielding portion and a fixing portion arranged at both ends along the thickness direction of the panel body, the shielding portion and the fixing portion are connected by a connecting portion located between the first body and the second body; wherein the two ends of the shielding portion are respectively in contact with the first body and the second body, the fixing portion extends toward the second body, and at least one protruding structure is provided on the fixing portion, which protrudes toward the second body along the thickness direction of the panel body, and one end of the protruding structure and the shielding portion respectively abuts against the two side walls of the second body along the thickness direction.

[0007] The panel assembly proposed by the utility model mainly includes a panel body and a splicing piece. The panel body is composed of a first body and a second body arranged at intervals, so that the stability of the panel can be increased, and space for the installation of the splicing piece is also provided. Specifically, the splicing piece is arranged between the first body and the second body, and includes a shielding part and a fixing part arranged at both ends along the thickness direction of the panel body, which are connected by a connecting part located between the first body and the second body, so that the splicing piece can be firmly fixed on the panel body, and additional support is also provided for the panel body.

[0008] It should be added that the two ends of the shielding portion are in contact with the first body and the second body respectively, which can prevent the splicing piece from sliding during use, and also prevent the gap between the first body and the second body from being filled with dust or other debris. The fixing portion extends toward the second body, and the fixing portion is provided with at least one protruding structure that protrudes toward the second body along the thickness direction of the panel body. This design can ensure that the splicing piece can be stably fixed on the second body during the assembly process. The protruding structure and one end of the shielding portion are respectively against the two side walls of the second body along the thickness direction, which can prevent the splicing piece from shifting due to force during use, and can also increase the contact area between the splicing piece and the second body, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0009] It should be emphasized that, under the action of the protruding structure, the assembly between the splicing piece and the second body can be made elastic, which can eliminate the dimensional error between the splicing piece and the second body, improve the product yield and production efficiency, and improve reliability.

[0010] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a first groove, which is provided in a portion of the fixing part connected to the connecting part.

[0011] In this technical solution, by setting the first groove on the fixing part as a deformation bending position, when the thickness of the second body is relatively thick, or the width of the groove is relatively small, that is, the size of the connecting part is relatively small, the design of the first groove can help the fixing part to expand to adapt to the insertion of the second body. To a certain extent, it can adapt to various glass thicknesses and improve the compatibility and flexibility of assembly.

[0012] In addition, due to the presence of the first groove, when the second body is inserted with force, the clamping resilience will be greatly reduced. After applying ink on the back side of the second body, the risk of glass edge breakage or ink scratches caused by excessive clamping force can be reduced. This design not only improves the stability of assembly, but also protects the integrity of the glass.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a second groove, which is arranged in a portion of the shielding part connected to the connecting part, and the second groove is arranged close to the first body.

[0014] In this technical solution, a second groove is provided in the portion of the shielding part connected to the connecting part, and the second groove is provided close to the first body. The second groove is actually a material feeding groove. When the material of the splicing piece is aluminum, during the processing, that is, when the aluminum begins to curl, the wrinkling phenomenon caused by the compression of the inner material can be alleviated under the action of the second groove.

[0015] Specifically, when the aluminum material begins to curl, the inner material will be compressed and the outer material will be stretched. If there is no appropriate design to buffer this compression force, the inner material may be compressed and squeezed, resulting in wrinkles on the appearance. This will not only affect the appearance quality of the product, but also may affect the performance of the product. With the feed trough (i.e., the second trough), when the inner material is squeezed, part of the compression force can be directed to the feed trough, thereby reducing the impact of the extrusion force on the inner material and reducing the risk of wrinkles on the appearance. It can protect both the appearance quality of the product and the performance of the product.

[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, there are multiple protrusion structures, and the multiple protrusion structures are arranged on the fixing part.

[0017] In this technical solution, by arranging a plurality of protrusion structures on the fixing portion, the plurality of protrusion structures can provide more contact points, thereby increasing the contact area between the splicing piece and the second body, thereby increasing the overall stability.

[0018] In addition, multiple protruding structures can better adapt to glass of different thicknesses, improving assembly compatibility and flexibility.

[0019] Of course, the design of multiple raised structures also helps protect the glass, because the raised structures can disperse the clamping force and reduce the pressure at a single point, thereby reducing the risk of glass chipping or ink scratching.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, there are multiple protrusion structures, the fixing portion includes multiple extension portions, and each extension portion is provided with at least one protrusion structure.

[0021] In this technical solution, the fixing portion includes a plurality of extension portions. By providing one or more protruding structures on each extension portion, the fixing portion can be adapted to a second body of different thicknesses under the action of the plurality of extension portions, thereby effectively improving the compatibility and flexibility of assembly.

[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distances between the multiple extension parts and the shielding part are different, and among the multiple extension parts, the distance between the extension part and the shielding part is positively correlated with the distance between the extension part and the connecting part.

[0023] In this technical solution, by limiting the widths of the multiple extensions to be different, that is, the distances between the multiple extensions and the shielding parts are different, so that the splicing piece can better adapt to glasses of different sizes and thicknesses, thereby improving the overall flexibility. In addition, the distances between the extensions and the shielding parts are positively correlated with the distances between the extensions and the connecting parts, that is, the closer the extensions are to the gap between the first body and the second body, the narrower the width is, and the farther the extensions are from the gap, the wider the width is, wherein the width of the extensions is the distance between the extensions and the shielding parts in the thickness direction of the second body.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distance between the end of the shielding portion extending toward the second body and the connecting portion is not less than the distance between any protruding structure and the connecting portion.

[0025] In this technical solution, by limiting the extension length of the shielding portion to be greater than or equal to the distance between the farthest protruding structure and the connecting portion, the farthest protruding structure and the shielding portion can be adjusted to achieve effective clamping of the second body, thereby increasing the stability between the splicing piece and the second body.

[0026] In some technical solutions, optionally, each extension portion extends along the surface of the second body, and the multiple extension portions are parallel to each other.

[0027] In this technical solution, by limiting the parallelism between multiple extension parts, each extension part extends along the surface of the second body. On this basis, the protruding structure located on each extension part can be perpendicular to the surface of the second body, so that the contact between the protruding structure and the second body is line contact or point contact. At the same time, when the second body is inserted, the force direction is vertical, thereby improving the clamping ability.

[0028] It should be supplemented that the multiple extension portions are parallel to each other so as to be suitable for second bodies with different thicknesses.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the material of the first body is microcrystalline glass, and the material of the second body is tempered glass.

[0030] In this technical solution, by limiting the first body to microcrystalline glass and the second body to tempered glass, the microcrystalline glass and tempered glass each have different characteristics. Specifically, tempered glass has higher strength and safety, while microcrystalline glass has excellent transparency and uniform optical properties. The first body is arranged in the middle part of the annular second body, and the first body is used to carry cooking utensils to facilitate electromagnetic heating thereof.

[0031] The embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model provides a cooking device, comprising: a cooking shell; and any one of the panel components in the first aspect, arranged on the cooking shell.

[0032] The cooking device proposed according to the utility model includes a cooking shell and a panel assembly. The cooking shell has the effect of limiting and protecting the panel assembly and the internal structure. Since the cooking device includes any of the above-mentioned panel assemblies, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned schemes, which will not be repeated here.

[0033] 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

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 Some embodiments according to the present invention are described.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, a panel assembly 100 proposed in this embodiment mainly includes a panel body 102 and a splicing piece 104. The panel body 102 is composed of a first body 1022 and a second body 1024 that are spaced apart, thereby increasing the stability of the panel and providing space for the installation of the splicing piece 104. Specifically, the splicing piece 104 is disposed between the first body 1022 and the second body 1024, and includes a shielding portion 1042 and a fixing portion 1044 disposed at both ends along the thickness direction of the panel body 102, which are connected by a connecting portion 1043 located between the first body 1022 and the second body 1024, so that the splicing piece 104 can be firmly fixed on the panel body 102, and also provides additional support for the panel body 102.

[0046] The splicing piece 104 is ring-shaped and can be made of aluminum.

[0047] It should be added that the two ends of the shielding portion 1042 are in contact with the first body 1022 and the second body 1024 respectively, which can prevent the splicing piece 104 from sliding during use, and also prevent the gap between the first body 1022 and the second body 1024 from being filled with dust or other debris. The fixing portion 1044 extends toward the second body 1024, and the fixing portion 1044 is provided with at least one protruding structure 105 protruding toward the second body 1024 along the thickness direction of the panel body 102. This design can ensure that the splicing piece 104 can be stably fixed on the second body 1024 during the assembly process. The protruding structure 105 and one end of the shielding portion 1042 are respectively against the two side walls of the second body 1024 along the thickness direction, which can prevent the splicing piece 104 from shifting due to force during use, and can also increase the contact area between the splicing piece 104 and the second body 1024, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0048] It should be emphasized that, under the action of the protruding structure 105, the assembly between the splicing piece 104 and the second body 1024 can be made elastic, which can eliminate the dimensional error between the splicing piece 104 and the second body 1024, improve the product yield and production efficiency, and at the same time improve reliability.

[0049] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 2As shown, a first groove 106 is provided on the fixing portion 1044 as a deformation bending position. When the thickness of the second body 1024 is relatively thick, or the width of the groove is relatively small, that is, the size of the connecting portion 1043 is relatively small, the design of the first groove 106 can help the fixing portion 1044 to expand to accommodate the insertion of the second body 1024. To a certain extent, it can adapt to various glass thicknesses and improve the compatibility and flexibility of assembly.

[0050] In addition, due to the presence of the first groove 106, when the second body 1024 is inserted with force, the clamping resilience is greatly reduced. After the ink is applied to the back side of the second body 1024, the risk of glass edge breakage or ink scratches caused by excessive clamping force can be reduced. This design not only improves the stability of assembly, but also protects the integrity of the glass.

[0051] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 4 As shown, a second groove 108 is provided in a portion of the shielding portion 1042 connected to the connecting portion 1043, and the second groove 108 is provided close to the first body 1022. The second groove 108 is actually a material feeding groove, and when the material of the splicing piece 104 is aluminum, during the processing thereof, that is, when the aluminum begins to curl, the wrinkling phenomenon of the inner material caused by compression can be alleviated under the action of the second groove 108.

[0052] Specifically, when the aluminum material begins to curl, the inner material will be compressed and the outer material will be stretched. If there is no suitable design to buffer this compression force, the inner material may be compressed and squeezed, resulting in wrinkles in appearance. This will not only affect the appearance quality of the product, but also may affect the performance of the product. With the feeding trough (i.e., the second trough 108), when the inner material is squeezed, part of the compression force can be guided to the feeding trough, thereby reducing the impact of the squeezing force on the inner material and reducing the risk of wrinkles on the appearance surface. It can protect both the appearance quality of the product and the performance of the product.

[0053] In some embodiments, optionally, a plurality of protruding structures 105 are provided on the fixing portion 1044 . The plurality of protruding structures 105 can provide more contact points, thereby increasing the contact area between the splicing piece 104 and the second body 1024 , thereby increasing the overall stability.

[0054] In addition, the plurality of protruding structures 105 can better adapt to glass of different thicknesses, thereby improving assembly compatibility and flexibility.

[0055] Of course, the design of multiple protrusion structures 105 also helps to protect the glass, because the protrusion structures 105 can disperse the clamping force, reduce the pressure at a single point, and thus reduce the risk of glass chipping or ink scratching.

[0056] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, the fixing portion 1044 includes a plurality of extension portions 1045. By providing one or more protruding structures 105 on each extension portion 1045, the plurality of extension portions 1045 can be adapted to the second body 1024 of different thicknesses, thereby effectively improving the compatibility and flexibility of assembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, the widths of the plurality of extensions 1045 are optionally limited to be different, that is, the distances between the plurality of extensions 1045 and the shielding portion 1042 are different, so that the splicing piece 104 can better adapt to glasses of different sizes and thicknesses, thereby improving the overall flexibility. In addition, the distance between the extensions 1045 and the shielding portion 1042 is positively correlated with the distance between the extension 1045 and the connecting portion 1043, that is, the closer the extension 1045 is to the gap between the first body 1022 and the second body 1024, the narrower the width is, and the farther the extension 1045 is from the gap, the wider the width is, wherein the width of the extension 1045 is the distance between the extension 1045 and the shielding portion 1042 in the thickness direction of the second body 1024.

[0058] In some embodiments, the extension length of the shielding portion 1042 is optionally limited to be greater than or equal to the distance between the farthest protruding structure 105 and the connecting portion 1043. The farthest protruding structure 105 and the shielding portion 1042 can be adjusted to effectively clamp the second body 1024, thereby increasing the stability between the splicing piece 104 and the second body 1024.

[0059] In some embodiments, optionally, multiple extension portions 1045 are defined to be parallel to each other, and each extension portion 1045 extends along the surface of the second body 1024. On this basis, the protruding structure 105 located on each extension portion 1045 can be perpendicular to the surface of the second body 1024, so that the contact between the protruding structure 105 and the second body 1024 is line contact or point contact. At the same time, when the second body 1024 is inserted, the force direction is vertical, thereby improving the clamping ability.

[0060] It should be supplemented that the plurality of extension portions 1045 are parallel to each other so as to be suitable for the second body 1024 with different thicknesses.

[0061] In some embodiments, optionally, the first body 1022 is limited to microcrystalline glass and the second body 1024 is tempered glass. Microcrystalline glass and tempered glass each have different properties. Specifically, tempered glass has higher strength and safety, while microcrystalline glass has excellent transparency and uniform optical properties. The first body 1022 is set in the middle part of the annular second body 1024. The first body 1022 is used to carry cooking utensils to facilitate electromagnetic heating thereof.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, the present application proposes another cooking device 200, including a cooking shell 202 and a panel assembly 100. The cooking shell 202 has the effect of limiting and protecting the panel assembly 100 and the internal structure. Since the cooking device 200 includes any of the above-mentioned panel assemblies 100, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, an induction cooker is provided, comprising a cooktop panel (i.e., a first body 1022), tempered glass (i.e., a second body 1024), an aluminum ring (i.e., a splicing piece 104), an upper cover, a housing, a wire reel, a circuit board, a base, and a display panel, wherein the lower end of the aluminum strip is changed from a straight type to a convex type (i.e., a convex structure 105). This has the advantage of adjusting the assembly of the aluminum strip U-shaped groove and the glass from a hard assembly to an elastic assembly, eliminating the assembly influence caused by the size error of the aluminum strip and the glass, improving the product yield and production efficiency, and simultaneously improving the reliability.

[0064] A groove (i.e., the first groove 106) is formed between the convex structure of the aluminum strip and the vertical structure. When the tempered glass is thicker or the width of the aluminum strip groove is smaller, the groove is equivalent to a deformation bending position. When the glass is inserted into the U-shaped groove of the new structure, the convex structure is deformed downward by force. At this time, the U-shaped groove will be stretched at the position of the groove to ensure that the U-shaped groove can fit tightly with the glass. Due to the existence of the groove, the clamping rebound force will be greatly reduced, so that the glass edge will not be broken or the ink will not be scratched.

[0065] The convex structure of the aluminum strip is to ensure that the tempered glass can be clamped while minimizing the contact area between the aluminum strip and the back of the glass. Because the back of the tempered glass is usually made of silk-screen ink and other processes that are easy to scratch, the point or line contact using a convex structure has better reliability than the surface contact of the old structure, and the risk of scratching the back silk-screen is greatly reduced. In addition, the U-shaped clamp adopts a convex structure. When the tempered glass is inserted, the force direction is more vertical, which is more conducive to decomposing the deformation of the deformation bending position (i.e., the first groove 106).

[0066] When the aluminum strip is not assembled in a straight state but needs to be bent and rolled before assembly, a material feeding groove (i.e., the second groove 108) can be provided inside the roll. Because when the aluminum material starts to roll, the inner material will be compressed and the outer material will be stretched, so the inner material will be compressed and squeezed, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles.

[0067] When a material trough is set up, the inner material can be buffered into the trough after being squeezed, thereby reducing the risk of wrinkles on the surface.

[0068] In another specific embodiment, the convex structures can be arranged continuously so as to achieve the assembly suitable for glass with different thicknesses.

[0069] According to the panel assembly and cooking equipment provided by the utility model, the assembly between the splicing piece and the second body is an elastic assembly, which can eliminate the dimensional error between the splicing piece and the second body, improve the product yield and production efficiency, and improve reliability.
