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

[0033] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] The abyss light effect proposed by the utility model is an infinitely superimposed mirror effect formed based on the reflection principle of light, that is, the light source is repeatedly reflected and refracted after passing through the reflector 17 and the semi-transparent mirror 13, which changes the propagation direction and path of the light, forming an infinitely superimposed mirror effect, giving the user an infinitely extended three-dimensional visual experience, thereby increasing the three-dimensional layering and visual effect of the space.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an abyss display device applied to a cooking utensil, which is configured to generate an abyss light effect suitable for a user to observe the working state of the cooking utensil 200. The abyss display device 100 can be arranged on the side of the body 21 of the cooking utensil 200 protruding toward the user side, and can also be arranged on the cover 22 of the cooking utensil 200.

[0036] like Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, the abyss display device 100 includes a light source module 16, a reflector 17, a semi-mirror 13, and a light-homogenizing member 15. The light source module 16 is located between the semi-mirror 13 and the reflector 17. The light source module 16 generates light corresponding to the working state of the cooking utensil 200 in a controlled manner. The reflector 17 reflects the light toward the user, and the semi-mirror 13 focuses the light and changes its propagation direction. The light emitted by the light source module 16 is repeatedly and unlimitedly reflected between the reflector 17 and the semi-mirror 13, so as to form an abyss light effect. Among them, the reflector 17 can be plated with aluminum to reduce light loss and improve light energy utilization.

[0037] In other embodiments, the half-mirror 13 may also be arranged nakedly on the abyss display device 100, such as the front cover 11a may serve as the half-mirror 13.

[0038] The light source module 16 can be an annular light-emitting element that can generate parallel annular apertures. After the annular light source module 16 passes through the reflector 17 and the semi-transparent mirror 13, it forms an infinitely parallel and spaced aperture in the direction away from the user, achieving the abyss light effect of the aperture. The light source module 16 is around the light-equalizing member 15, and the light-equalizing member 15 evenly processes the light emitted by the light source module 16, so that the light becomes uniform and soft, thereby improving the uniformity of the visible light generated by the light source module 16. Preferably, the light-equalizing member 15 is a translucent material, such as glass, translucent plastic, etc., for improving the luminous efficiency of the light-equalizing member 15. Preferably, the light source module 16 can be configured to display different colors of light, and is connected to a control module that can control the working state, so that when the cooking utensil 200 is in different working states, the light source module 16 displays different colors through the control module, so that the user can distinguish.

[0039] In other embodiments, the light source module 16 may be a strip-shaped light-emitting element that can generate parallel light beams. After being refracted and reflected by the reflector 17 and the semi-transparent mirror 13, the strip-shaped light-emitting element will form an infinite parallel light band in the direction away from the user, achieving the abyss light effect of the parallel light band. Of course, in other embodiments, the light source module 16 may also be arranged and combined using a plurality of light-emitting lamp groups, which may be reasonably arranged according to the design requirements of those skilled in the art.

[0040] The abyss display device 100 further includes a mounting frame 14, a front cover 11a and a bottom cover 11b, wherein the mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 11b. The mounting frame 14 is configured to be able to assemble and connect the light source module 16, the reflector 17 and the semi-transparent mirror 13 on the bottom cover 11b. The mounting frame 14 includes a front frame body 14a and a rear frame body 14b, wherein the semi-transparent mirror 13 is positioned on the front frame body 14a, the reflector 17 is positioned on the rear frame body 14b, the light source module 16 and the light homogenizing member 15 are both received in a cavity formed between the front frame body 14a and the rear frame body 14b, and the light homogenizing member 15 is clamped and fixed by the front frame body 14a and the rear frame body 14b. The front frame 14a and the rear frame 14b can be used to assemble and fix the light source module 16, the reflector 17, the light homogenizer 15 and the semi-mirror 13 to prevent the light source module 16, the reflector 17, the light homogenizer 15 and the semi-mirror 13 from moving or misaligning.

[0041] In some embodiments, the peripheral side wall on the outside of the front frame 14a also has a fixing portion for mounting the half mirror 13, and the fixing portion is used to fix the half mirror 13 and the front frame 14a as a whole, and the fixing effect is good; when it is necessary to disassemble, the half mirror 13 is pushed and removed from the inside of the front frame 14a, and the half mirror 13 and the front frame 14a can be disassembled. Correspondingly, the peripheral side wall on the inside of the rear frame 14b is provided with a fixing portion for mounting the reflector 17, and the fixing portion is used to fix the reflector 17 and the rear frame 14b as a whole, and the fixing effect is good. When it is necessary to disassemble, only the reflector 17 is pushed and removed from the outside of the rear frame 14b. The reflector 17 and the rear frame 14b can be disassembled, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient. Further, the fixing portion can be a limit clamp, and the limit clamp can be a convex point or a groove.

[0042] A plurality of corresponding fixing holes 14c are arranged on the periphery of the front frame body 14a and the rear frame body 14b, and the front frame body 14a and the rear frame body 14b are fixed as a whole by screws or other connecting parts passing through the fixing holes 14c to prevent the front frame body 14a and the rear frame body 14b from moving or misaligning. A plurality of ear holes 14d for mounting on the bottom cover 11b are arranged on the periphery of the rear frame body 14b, and the mounting frame 14 is fixed on the bottom cover 11b by screws or other connecting parts passing through the ear holes 14d to prevent the mounting frame 14 and the bottom cover 11b from moving or misaligning.

[0043] The bottom cover 11b and the display panel 18 are provided with a buckling structure 19, and the bottom cover 11b is buckled and fixedly connected with the display panel 18 through the buckling structure 19. When the bottom cover 11b and the display panel 18 are in a buckled state, the abyss display device 100 is accommodated in the display panel 18 of the cooking utensil 200, and the abyss display device 100 is restricted from moving up and down, front and back, or dislocating. The buckling structure 19 includes a buckling portion 19a and a holding portion 19b, and the buckling portion 19a and the holding portion 19b are respectively arranged on the bottom cover 11b and the display panel 18. For example: the buckling portion 19a is arranged on the bottom cover 11b, and the holding portion 19b is arranged on the display panel 18: or the buckling portion 19a is arranged on the display panel 18, and the holding portion 19b is arranged on the bottom cover 11b. The buckling portion 19a and the holding portion 19b are used to buckle and fix the bottom cover 11b and the display panel 18 to thereby fix the abyss display device 100 on the cooking utensil 200.

[0044] The front cover 11a is attached to the bottom cover 11b, and the abyss display device 100 can be packaged as a whole. The light cover is provided with a logo area, and the logo area is provided with a pattern logo and color for displaying the working state corresponding to the light, and the abyss light effect formed is recognizable.
