[0028] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The touch adjustment device provided by the utility model is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a touch sensing module 1 closely attached to the bottom of the panel 100 of the cooker, which is used to sense the touch operation of the user and then generate a sensing signal.

[0030] The lighting assembly 2 is arranged corresponding to the touch sensing module 1, and preferably, is arranged below the touch sensing module 1. The lighting assembly 2 and the touch sensing module 1 are both connected to the control module 3. The touch adjustment device also includes a housing 4 for accommodating the touch sensing module 1, the lighting assembly 2 and the control module 3, and the housing 4 is used to be connected to the panel of the cooker.

[0031] The control module 3 generates a control signal according to the sensing signal to control the operation of the cooker, and at the same time generates a lighting control signal according to the sensing signal to control the lighting component 2 to perform corresponding lighting.

[0032] The touch sensing module 1 is aligned with the lighting assembly 2, that is, preferably, Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the length of the touch sensing module 1 is almost the same as the total length of the lighting assembly 2 . Such a configuration enables the touch signal sensed by the touch sensing module 1 to be displayed intuitively through the lighting assembly 2 .

[0033] The control module 3 is connected to the lighting assembly 2, and the lighting assembly 2 includes a plurality of lighting elements 21, so as to control the time-sharing and simultaneous lighting of the lighting elements on the lighting assembly 2. The control module 3 is also connected to the stove control system, and is used to control the stove to make corresponding adjustments according to the sensed sensing signal, such as adjusting the fire power of the stove. For example, the stove control system can adjust the gas flow or the size of the stage valve according to the received control signal.

[0034] The touch sensing module 1 includes a long strip of touch sensing area 11. When a finger slides on it, a corresponding touch signal is generated. After the touch signal is transmitted to the control module 3, the control module 3 generates a corresponding control signal according to the content of the touch signal, which not only controls the cooker to make corresponding adjustments, but also controls the lighting mode of the lighting assembly 2. The touch sensing area 11 includes a light-transmitting area, which is used to transmit the light emitted by the lighting assembly 2 below. When the touch sensing area 11 is operated, the lighting assembly below the touch sensing area can be controlled to light up or turn off at the same time, allowing the user to feel the effect of synchronous adjustment.

[0035] Preferably, the lighting assembly 2 is directly disposed on the control module 3 , that is, the control module 3 is a control board, the lighting assembly 2 is directly disposed on the control board, and the control module 3 is connected to the touch sensing module 1 at one end through a flexible FPC 5 .

[0036] Preferably, the lighting assembly 2 includes a plurality of lighting elements 21, and the plurality of lighting elements 21 are distributed at intervals along the touch sensing area 11 of the touch sensing module 1. Preferably, each lighting element 21 includes at least two colors of LED light emitting units, so that when the at least two colors of LED light emitting units are brightness controlled, different colors of light can be generated by color matching, thereby forming different display effects.

[0037] Preferably, the control module 3 further comprises a sensing signal acquisition unit for acquiring the sensing signal generated by the touch sensing module 1; the sensing signal acquisition unit may be a control circuit for converting the sensing signal into an electrical signal.

[0038] The control signal conversion unit is used to convert the sensing signal generated by the touch sensing module 1 into a corresponding control signal and a lighting control signal; the control signal conversion unit also includes a control circuit and a microprocessor or a processing chip.

[0039] The signal sending unit is used to send a control signal to the cooker control system to control the change of the cooker, and to send a lighting control signal to the lighting control unit to control the lighting element 21. The signal sending unit can be various communication signal sending chips or circuits.

[0040] The control module 3 also includes a lighting control unit, which is connected to each lighting element on the lighting assembly and is used to receive a lighting control signal sent by a signal sending unit, thereby controlling the lighting of the lighting elements on the lighting assembly or turning them off.

[0041] Preferably, the touch sensing area 11 is a touch film, which outputs different signals for sensing capacitance changes, and the touch film is light-transmissive for emitting light from the lighting assembly 2 below. On the corresponding cooker panel, a light-transmitting area corresponding to the light-transmitting area of ​​the touch film is provided.

[0042] The touch film on the top of the touch sensing module 1 is bonded to the back of the panel of the cooker by an adhesive. Preferably, a diffusion sheet is provided between the top of the touch sensing module 1 and the cooker panel to mix the light emitted from the bottom of the touch sensing module 1 so that the light seen from the outside of the cooker panel is more uniform.

[0043] The adjustment method of the adjustment device can be set according to the needs or preferences of the user. For example, it can be set as follows:

[0044] When the cooker is not started, two touch points at any position on the cooker panel corresponding to the touch sensing area 11 are pressed for three seconds or double-clicked at the same time, and the cooker is started. The igniter is energized to generate electric sparks, the stage valve is opened for ventilation, the burner is ignited, and the initial firepower is the minimum gear. At the same time, the lighting components are turned on as feedback, and the lighting components can be lit from left to right in sequence, and finally all white lights are turned on to indicate that the standby mode has been entered.

[0045] When adjusting the firepower, slide from left to right at the position corresponding to the touch sensing area 11 on the stove panel to increase the firepower, otherwise it will decrease. Or slide a certain distance to the right on the touch sensing area 11 with one hand and press and hold, the firepower will also increase. Conversely, slide a certain distance to the left and press and hold to reduce the firepower. The lighting component lights up at the position corresponding to the finger, and when the finger slides, the lit position moves accordingly for feedback signals. When the firepower is minimum, the lit color is light yellow, and as the firepower increases, the color gradually deepens, and the color is red when the firepower is maximum. When the finger leaves, the action ends, and the lit position spreads to the entire area in the form of water, and the color remains unchanged, indicating that the adjustment command ends and stays at the current firepower level. The lighting element position corresponding to this firepower level flashes white light intermittently, indicating the current firepower level.

[0046] A quick operation mode can also be set. For example, on the panel of the cooker, at the position corresponding to the touch sensing area 11, slide to the right at a relatively fast speed, the firepower directly reaches the maximum, and all the lighting elements on the lighting assembly are adjusted to red, flashing three times and then staying on. Conversely, slide to the left at a relatively fast speed in the sensing area, the firepower directly reaches the minimum, and all the lighting components are light yellow, flashing three times and then staying on. With the length of the slide, the firepower of the cooker is adjusted according to the size of the sensing signal, and the corresponding lighting element is also lit according to the length of the slide for intuitive display.

[0047] When the stove is working, long pressing for three seconds or double-clicking two touch points at any position in the touch sensing area at the same time can turn off the stove, close the stage valve, and extinguish the fire after the remaining gas in the channel is burned out.

[0048] The touch adjustment device provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a touch sensing module that can sense the user's operation and generate a corresponding sensing signal to control the switch of the stove or the adjustment of the firepower. In addition, the sensing signal can also be converted into a lighting control signal, thereby controlling the lighting component corresponding to the touch sensing area of ​​the touch sensing module to display, so that the user can intuitively see the state of the stove, which is convenient for use. Moreover, the touch adjustment device can also be used in other household appliances such as range hoods, water heaters, etc.

[0049] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that the present invention may be modified and varied by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
