Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of induction cookers, in particular to a display control device for an induction cooker. Background Art

[0002] An induction cooker is an electrical cooking appliance made based on the principle of electromagnetic induction heating. It mainly uses a coil disk to generate a low-frequency (20-25KHZ) alternating magnetic field under the action of a control circuit, which generates a large amount of dense eddy current through the magnetic (iron) pot, and converts the induced current into heat to heat food.

[0003] The front of the induction cooker is usually equipped with a display control device for displaying parameters such as temperature and time and for touch control. The display control device includes a glass panel and a light board located below the glass panel. Some indicator lights are set on the light board, which, together with the printed text or pattern on the glass panel, makes the user's touch control operation more intuitive.

[0004] Conventional light panels, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the lamp body 411 is powered on, the light generated by the lamp body diverges toward the glass panel. When the user looks down from above, he sees a larger bright area through the glass panel 20. The focusing effect is poor and the clarity is insufficient, which affects the user's touch control operation judgment.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, some manufacturers have designed some grid-shaped lampshades, such as an induction cooker disclosed in Chinese patent publication No. CN105371316A, which includes a shell, a lamp board and a heating element arranged in the shell; the shell includes a base and a panel sealing the opening of the base; the panel includes a heating panel made of microcrystalline material and an operating panel made of tempered glass; the operating panel is located on one side of the heating panel; the lamp board is installed on the base corresponding to the operating panel; the lamp board includes a lamp board body and a plurality of lamp bodies arranged on the lamp board body; a light-transmitting pattern is provided on the operating panel corresponding to each lamp body; the induction cooker also includes a lampshade covering the lamp board, and the lampshade is arranged close to the operating panel; a lamp body accommodating hole for accommodating the lamp body is provided on the lampshade corresponding to each lamp body, so that there will be no cross-light phenomenon on the panel, thereby enhancing the clarity of the light emitted by the lamp body displayed on the operating panel.

[0006] Although the above-mentioned lampshade can improve the display clarity of the light on the operation panel, the lampshade is made of a larger material and a lamp body accommodating hole is opened on the lampshade to accommodate the lamp body. It is suitable for structures with densely distributed lamp bodies. For lamp panels with relatively dispersed lamp bodies, if this lampshade is used, it will seriously affect the normal arrangement of other electronic components.

[0007] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a display control device for an induction cooker to solve the problem that the lampshade of the prior art occupies a large volume and affects the arrangement of other electronic components on the lamp board.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 9 This embodiment discloses a display control device for an induction cooker, comprising:

[0036] Housing 10;

[0037] A glass panel 20 is fixed to the upper end of the housing 10;

[0038] The inner support 30 is detachably mounted in the outer shell 10;

[0039] The light board 40 is fixed in the inner support 30 and is provided with a plurality of indicator light assemblies 41. The indicator light assemblies 41 include a lamp body 411 electrically connected to the light board 40 and a light shield 412 sleeved on the outside of the lamp body 411.

[0040] The display control device of the present embodiment is suitable for use in an induction cooker. A plurality of indicator light assemblies 41 are provided on a lamp board 40. The indicator light assembly 41 includes a lamp body 411 and a light shield 412. A light-transmitting hole 4121 is provided at one end of the light shield 412. Through the light-shielding effect of the light shield 412, the lamp body 411 can only emit light through the light-transmitting hole 4121, forming a bright area at the position of the printed text or pattern on the glass panel 20. When the user looks at the glass panel 20 from above the glass panel 20, the position of the text or pattern corresponding to the bright area can be seen more clearly, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, one lamp body 411 is provided with one light shield 412, which does not occupy the space on the lamp board 40, thereby avoiding affecting the normal arrangement and installation of other electronic components on the lamp board 40.

[0041] For further information, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 A spherical surface 4111 is provided at one end of the lamp body 411 facing the glass panel 20, and the light shield 412 is provided with a gathering portion 4122 that fits the shape of the spherical surface 4111. The light-transmitting hole 4121 is formed at the top of the gathering portion 4122. By providing the gathering portion 4122, the matching degree between the light shield 412 and the lamp body 411 is improved, and they can fit more closely to prevent loosening.

[0042] Furthermore, the light shield 412 can be made of black thermoplastic material. Before the light shield 412 is formed, it is a cylindrical cover body, which is put on the outside of the lamp body 411 from top to bottom, and then heated by a heating device such as a hot air blower. After heating, the cover body softens and fits on the surface of the lamp body 411. After curing, the light shield 412 forms a structure that matches the shape of the lamp body 411. Compared with the prior art, such as the lampshade in an induction cooker disclosed in Chinese patent announcement No. CN105371316A, there is no need to re-open the mold according to the position of the lamp body 411; this embodiment only needs to pre-produce a large number of covers of the same specification, and then put them in according to the position of the lamp body, heat to soften, and cure to form, which is simpler to operate.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to make the bright area formed by the light emitted by the lamp body 411 on the glass panel 20 present a circular structure, the light-transmitting hole 4121 of this embodiment is a circular hole, but is not limited to a circle.
