Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0035] At present, most electronic products on the market need to contact the operation display circuit board, and operate the buttons of various functions to pass the human instructions to the MCU, and then the MCU performs the corresponding operations to realize the various functions of the electronic products. At present, most of the operation buttons of electronic products on the market use light touch buttons and touch buttons, but as users have higher and higher requirements for products, this contact operation method cannot bring a better interactive experience.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an operation display control component, referring to Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the operation display control component includes:

[0037] At least one sensing module 10, wherein a plurality of the sensing modules 10 are arranged at intervals, and the plurality of the sensing modules 10 are used to recognize user gestures and output corresponding trigger signals;

[0038] At least one prompt module 20, each of which is provided corresponding to one of the sensing modules, the prompt module 20 is electrically connected to the sensing module 10, and the prompt module 20 is used to display corresponding prompt information when receiving the trigger signal.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sensing module 10 can be implemented by using sensing sensors such as distance sensors, depth sensors, ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors. The sensor has a long-distance sensing function. When the user places his hand or other parts in front of the sensing module 10, the sensing module 10 can effectively recognize the operation, such as different gestures of the user, and believes that the user needs to perform corresponding functional operations, thereby outputting a trigger signal to the prompt module 20, so that the prompt module 20 displays the corresponding prompt information. In addition, the sensing module 10 can also output a trigger signal to the control module, and the control module implements the corresponding function after receiving the trigger signal. For example, when the operation display control component is used in a cooking appliance, the sensing module 10 can be triggered to realize functions such as starting or stopping heating.

[0040] The prompt module 20 can be implemented by a display device such as a display screen, an LED light, a digital tube, etc. When the prompt module 20 receives a trigger signal, it will display a corresponding prompt message to prompt the user that the sensing prompt module 20 has been successfully triggered, so that the user can know whether his operation is successful. For example, the prompt module 20 is implemented by an LED light. When the prompt module 20 receives a trigger signal, it controls the LED light to emit light to prompt the user that the sensing module 10 has been successfully triggered.

[0041] It is understandable that when the operation display control component is applied to equipment such as cooking utensils, the sensing module 10 can be set on the display panel of the housing of the equipment, and the prompt module 20 can be set next to the sensing module 10 corresponding to the sensing module 10. When the user's hand sweeps over or is placed in front of the sensing module 10, the sensing module 10 can recognize the operation, and determine that the user needs to perform the function operation, and send a trigger signal to the control module in the equipment, and the control module controls the corresponding module to work. At the same time, the sensing module 10 can send a trigger signal to the corresponding prompt module 20, so that the prompt module 20 displays the corresponding prompt information to prompt the user whether the sensing mode is triggered.

[0042] The utility model provides a sensing module 10 and a prompting module 20, so that the user can trigger the sensing module 10 in a non-contact manner, so that the sensing module 10 outputs a trigger signal to the prompting module 20 or other modules to implement corresponding functional operations, which can increase the interactive experience of user control and improve the control diversity and practicality of the device. At the same time, the prompting module 20 can display corresponding prompt information when receiving the triggering signal, and feedback the user's operation status, so that the user can know whether his operation is successful, thereby improving the user's use experience.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the number of the prompt module 20 and the sensing module 10 is multiple, and the multiple sensing modules 10 are arranged at intervals;

[0044] Each of the prompt modules 20 is disposed corresponding to one of the sensing modules 10 .

[0045] In one embodiment, there may be multiple prompt modules 20 and sensing modules 10, and the user can trigger different sensing modules 10 to send different trigger signals to the control module, so that the control module performs different operations to achieve different functions. For example, when the operation display control component is used in a cooking appliance, it can be used to achieve functions such as starting heating, stopping heating, and keeping warm. At the same time, each prompt module 20 corresponds to a sensing module 10. When the user triggers one of the sensing modules 10, the corresponding prompt module 20 will output corresponding prompt information, thereby prompting the user that the corresponding sensing module 10 has been successfully triggered, so that the user can know whether the trigger is successful or whether the correct sensing module 10 is triggered. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of an operation display control component. In the figure, there are multiple sensing modules 10, and the multiple sensing modules 10 are arranged at intervals. Each sensing module 10 corresponds to four prompt modules 20 arranged around it. The user can place his hand in front of the corresponding sensing prompt module 20 to trigger the corresponding sensing module 10 according to the operation required, so that the control module performs different operations to achieve different functions.

[0046] In another embodiment, there are multiple prompt modules 20 , and the multiple prompt modules 20 are disposed around the sensing module 10 .

[0047] There can be multiple prompt modules 20, and multiple prompt modules 20 are arranged around a sensing module 10. In this way, the number of prompt information that can be displayed by the sensing module 10 is increased. For example, the prompt module 20 can be two LED lights, one is a red light and the other is a green light. When the sensing module 10 is not triggered by the user, the display control module 30 controls the red light to light up. When the sensing module 10 is triggered by the user, the display control module 30 controls the green light to light up. In this way, the user can determine whether the triggering operation is successful through different prompt modules 20. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of an operation display control component. In the figure, there are multiple sensing modules 10, and the multiple sensing modules 10 are arranged at intervals. Each sensing module 10 corresponds to four prompt modules 20 arranged around it. The user can place his hand in front of the corresponding sensing prompt module 20 to trigger the corresponding sensing module 10 according to the operation required, so that the control module performs different operations to achieve different functions.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the operation display control component further includes:

[0049] The display control module 30 is electrically connected to the sensing module 10 and the prompt module 20 respectively. The display control module 30 is used to control the prompt module 20 to display corresponding prompt information when receiving the trigger signal.

For example, when the operation display control component is applied to a cooking appliance, and the sensing module 10 is used to output a heating trigger signal, the user triggers the sensing module 10 to output the heating trigger signal to the display control module 30. After the display control module 30 receives the heating trigger signal, it controls the corresponding heating module in the cooking appliance to work for heating, so as to realize the function of heating the cooking appliance. At the same time, the control prompt module 20 displays the corresponding prompt information to prompt the user that the heating function is successfully triggered. It can be understood that the number of sensing modules 10 can be multiple, and the user can send different trigger signals to the display control module 30 by triggering different sensing modules 10, so that the display control module 30 performs different operations to realize different functions. For example, when the operation display control component is applied to a cooking appliance, it can be used to realize functions such as starting heating, stopping heating and keeping warm.

At the same time, the display control module 30 can also control the prompt module 20 to display prompt information and feedback the user's operation status, so that the user can know whether his operation is successful, thereby improving the user's use experience.

[0053] The display module 40 is electrically connected to the display control module 30 , and the display module 40 displays corresponding information based on the control of the display control module 30 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the display module 40 can be implemented by display devices such as a display screen, a display digital tube, and a touch screen. The display control module 30 can control the display module 40 to display corresponding working information according to the trigger signal or the signal sent by other modules. For example, when applied to cooking utensils, the display module 40 can be used to display working parameters such as the inner pot temperature, steam temperature, working current, and working voltage. In this way, the user can obtain the working information of the device through the display module 40, or sense the triggering status of the prompt module 20.

[0057] An audio processing module, the input end of the audio processing module is connected to the output end of the pickup device, and the output end of the audio processing module is connected to the display control module 30. The audio processing module is used to filter and analyze the audio signal, and output the processed audio signal to the display control module 30, so that the display control module 30 works according to the processed audio signal.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sound pickup device can be an audio collection device such as a microphone. The sound pickup device can collect audio signals in the form of sound waves in the air, and convert them into corresponding electrical signals and then output them. The audio processing module can be constructed based on a filtering circuit. The audio processing module is used to receive the audio signal output by the sound pickup device when the device is working. The audio processing module can filter the audio signal output by the sound pickup device to filter out the noise in the audio signal, such as environmental noise. After filtering, the audio processing module analyzes the audio signal to determine the voice command that is closest to the filtered audio signal. The audio processing module can send the voice command determined after filtering and analysis to the display control module 30, so that the display control module 30 can control the corresponding functional load according to the received voice command to achieve operations such as starting heating, stopping heating, and keeping warm. In this way, the user can also perform corresponding functional operations by voice control through voice control of the display control module 30, which can increase the interactive experience of user control and improve the control diversity and practicality of the device.

[0062] In this embodiment, the filter circuit can use a digital filter chip, which can run an integrated analog-to-digital conversion circuit or an analog-to-digital conversion algorithm to convert the audio detection signal and the audio signal of the analog signal into a digital signal composed of "0 level" and "1 level". The digital filter chip can run a digital-to-analog conversion circuit or a digital-to-analog conversion algorithm to convert the audio signal of the filtered digital signal into an analog signal again and output it to the audio analysis circuit.

[0063] The audio analysis circuit can be implemented by using a speech recognition chip and a memory. The audio analysis circuit can convert the audio signal of the analog signal into a digital signal, and then analyze it in real time by running the corresponding analysis program or algorithm; and during the analysis process, the pre-stored voice instructions in the storage device can be called in real time to determine the closest voice instructions.
