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.

[0040] As a cooking appliance, induction cooker has the advantages of high energy efficiency, easy cleaning, high intelligence, etc., and is deeply loved by consumers. However, when using induction cooker, users can only know the fire status and the location of the fire heating zone of the induction cooker through the control device or display screen, and cannot directly see the burning status of the fire, which lacks the experience of open flame.

[0041] From the analysis of the above problems, it can be seen that the induction cooker cannot produce fire through electromagnetic heating. Other methods can be considered to replace the fire, such as using light to replace the fire.

[0042] In view of this, the utility model proposes a panel structure and a cooking utensil, aiming to alleviate the problem that users cannot directly see the burning state of the fire and lack the experience of open flame when using an induction cooker. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a top view of a cooking utensil according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a side cross-sectional structure of an embodiment of a cooking utensil provided by the utility model; Figure 3A schematic side cross-sectional structural diagram of another embodiment of the cooking utensil provided by the utility model; Figure 4 The present invention is a schematic side cross-sectional structural diagram of another embodiment of the cooking utensil provided by the present invention.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the utility model, the panel structure 1 is used for a cooking utensil 100, and a light-emitting portion 31 is provided in the cooking utensil 100. The panel structure 1 includes a panel body 11 and a reflecting portion 12. The panel body 11 is light-transmissive, and a fire viewing area is formed on the panel body 11. The panel body 11 has a first side end 111a and a second side end 112a opposite to each other. The first side end 111a is used for placing the pot. The reflecting portion 12 is provided on the end surface of the second side end 112a of the panel body 11, and the reflecting portion 12 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 31 into the panel body 11 to the fire viewing area.

[0044] It should be noted that the optical property of the panel body 11 is that it can transmit light, and there are many choices of materials, such as microcrystalline and black crystal materials, which not only have good light transmission performance, but also have good high temperature resistance. The present application does not limit the material of the panel body 11; the fire viewing area refers to a specific area on the panel body 11. When the pot is placed in this area, the light in this area can be emitted to the side wall of the pot and illuminate it, thereby simulating the effect of visual fire heating; the panel body 11 has a first side end 111a and a second side end 112a opposite to each other, and the first side end 111 a is used to place cookware, it should be understood that the second side end 112a is arranged toward the wire reel assembly 22 in the cooking utensil 100, and the reflecting portion 12 is arranged on the end surface of the second side end 112a, and can reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 31 into the panel body 11 to the fire visible area, it should be understood that the light-emitting portion 31 should be arranged away from the wire reel assembly 22 relative to the reflecting portion 12, the reflecting portion 12 is configured to be able to reflect light and not be affected by electromagnetic induction, and at the same time should also have a certain high temperature resistance. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure and material of the reflecting portion 12.

[0045] According to the technical solution of the utility model, the panel structure 1 is used for the cooking utensil 100. Since the cooking utensil 100 is provided with a light-emitting portion 31, the light-emitting portion 31 can emit light to the panel body 11. Since the second side end 112a of the panel body 11 is provided with a reflecting portion 12, the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 31 to the panel body 11 can be reflected to the fire visible area on the panel body 11 through the reflecting portion 12. When the user places the cooking pot in the fire visible area, the pot wall of the cooking pot can be irradiated by the light in the fire visible area, thereby simulating the visualization effect of heating by fire. The visualization effect can be directly viewed by the user, thereby improving the user's heating experience.

[0046] The position of the light emitting portion 31 relative to the panel structure 1 can be in various situations, as long as the light emitting portion 31 can emit light into the panel body 11 and illuminate the fire visible area under the reflection of the reflective portion 12. For example, in one embodiment, the light emitting portion 31 is arranged on the side of the panel structure 1 away from the wire reel assembly 22 of the cooking utensil 100, but this method will cause the light emitting portion 31 to be located outside the panel structure 1, thereby affecting the flatness of the panel structure 1, occupying additional external space and poorly aesthetically pleasing the cooking utensil 100. In view of this, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, a receiving recess 113 is formed on the panel body 11 for the light emitting portion 31 to extend into.

[0047] It should be noted that there are many specific structural forms of the accommodating recess 113, for example, it can be a accommodating groove or a accommodating hole. At the same time, there are many specific settings of the accommodating recess 113 according to its specific structure, as long as it is on the panel body 11, it is intended that when the light-emitting part 31 extends into the accommodating recess 113, it can be located inside the panel body 11. The present embodiment does not limit its specific structural form and specific setting position; the accommodating recess 113 is used for the light-emitting part 31 to extend therein, which means that the light-emitting part 31 can be fixedly set on the inner side of the accommodating recess 113, or it can be extended into the accommodating recess 113 through other structures.

[0048] According to the above technical solution, by opening a accommodating recess 113 on the panel body 11, the light-emitting part 31 can be extended into the panel body 11. On the one hand, it protects the light-emitting part 31 itself, and on the other hand, it makes the surface of the panel structure 1 smoother and tidier, which can maintain the overall aesthetics of the cooking utensil 100.

[0049] The display of fire simulation can be realized by irradiating a single light emitting portion 31, but a single light emitting portion 31 can usually only illuminate a part of the pot wall of the pot, which causes the effect of fire simulation to be distorted and abrupt in appearance. In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, a plurality of accommodating recesses 113 are provided and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the firepower viewing area.

[0050] It should be noted that the accommodating recess 113 is used for the light-emitting portion 31 to extend therein. Providing a plurality of accommodating recesses 113 means that the light-emitting portion 31 can be adapted to accommodate a plurality of accommodating recesses 113. The circumferential arrangement of the plurality of accommodating recesses 113 along the visible fire zone means that the peripheral side wall of the cookware can be illuminated by the plurality of light-emitting portions 31.

[0051] According to the above technical solution, by arranging a plurality of accommodating recesses 113 at intervals along the circumference of the fire visibility zone, a plurality of light-emitting portions 31 can be inserted therein. When the cookware is placed in the fire visibility zone, the plurality of light-emitting portions 31 can illuminate it from all angles on the circumference through the reflective portion 12, thereby illuminating the circumferential pot wall of the cookware, thereby enhancing the realism of the fire simulation and improving the user's viewing experience.

[0052] For further information, see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the plurality of accommodating recesses 113 are distributed on a circular curve with the center of the fire power visible area as the center. In this arrangement, since the plurality of accommodating recesses 113 are distributed on the circular curve, the intensity of the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting portions 31 irradiating the pot wall around the pot can be uniformly controlled, thereby ensuring uniform brightness of the fire power simulation and avoiding the problem of misjudging the fire power by the user due to uneven brightness.

[0053] The cooking utensil 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is an electromagnetic cooking utensil 100, which generally includes a wire coil assembly 22. The electromagnetic induction generated by the wire coil assembly 22 heats the pot, so it will affect any metal parts in its heating area. In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, a wire reel alignment area is further formed on the panel body 11, and the wire reel alignment area is used to correspond to the wire reel assembly 22 in the cooking utensil 100; the accommodating recess 113 is arranged on the outer side of the wire reel alignment area.

[0054] It should be noted that the wire reel alignment area is the area where the wire reel assembly 22 therein is aligned in the thickness direction of the panel structure 1 after the cooking utensil 100 is assembled and formed. The wire reel alignment area can be generally understood as an electromagnetic heating area. The metal parts in this area are greatly affected by the electromagnetic induction effect from the wire reel assembly 22, and the light-emitting portion 31 can be generally understood as an optical device, which inevitably includes metal conductive materials.

[0055] According to the above technical solution, the accommodating recess 113 is arranged outside the line drum alignment area, which ensures that the light-emitting part 31 therein can also be outside the line drum alignment area, and is less affected by the line drum assembly 22, thereby ensuring the service life of the light-emitting part 31.

[0056] See also Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the accommodating recess 113 has a recessed opening, and the recessed opening is formed on the end surface of the second side end 112a.

[0057] It should be noted that the accommodating recess 113 has a recessed opening, which can be understood as the accommodating recess 113 being configured to accommodate a blind hole or an accommodating groove, and the recessed opening being formed on the end surface of the second side end 112a means that the accommodating recess 113 is disposed toward the inner side of the cooking utensil 100 .

[0058] According to the above technical solution, the recessed opening of the accommodating recess 113 is set on the end surface of the second side end 112a, and the light-emitting portion 31 can extend from the second side end 112a into the accommodating recess 113, thereby ensuring the flatness of the first side end 111a of the panel body 11, making it convenient for the user to clean the first side end 111a of the panel body 11 after using the cooking utensil 100, that is, avoiding the first side end 111a of the panel body 11 from accumulating dirt.

[0059] It is understandable that the panel body 11 of the panel structure 1 in the cooking utensil 100 is usually set to be relatively thin, and it is usually difficult to machine the receiving recess 113 that meets the depth requirement on the panel body 11, and the machining accuracy is difficult to ensure. In view of this, please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the panel body 11 includes an inner plate 112, which is provided with a through hole, and an outer plate 111 is stacked on the inner plate 112, and the outer plate 111 covers one end opening of the through hole to form a accommodating recess 113; the first side end 111a is formed on the outer plate 111, and the second side end 112a is formed on the inner plate 112.

[0060] It should be noted that the panel body 11 in this embodiment is composed of an inner plate 112 and an outer plate 111. Since the first side end 111a is formed on the outer plate 111 and the second side end 112a is formed on the inner plate 112, it can be understood that the outer plate 111 is used to place the cookware, and the inner plate 112 is arranged close to the wire drum assembly 22; the inner plate 112 and the outer plate 111 are stacked and the brackets of the two can be glued or riveted, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0061] According to the above technical solution, the panel body 11 is formed by stacking the inner panel 112 and the outer panel 111. When processing the accommodating recess 113, a through hole can be first opened on the inner panel 112, and then the outer panel 111 is combined by stacking and splicing, and the accommodating recess 113 is formed by blocking the through hole by the outer panel 111. Since the opening of the through hole does not require controlling the processing depth, compared with directly processing the accommodating recess 113 with depth requirements on a whole panel body 11, this embodiment has the effect of reducing the processing difficulty of the accommodating recess 113.

[0062] Since the panel body 11 is light-transmissive, the light emitting portion 31 disposed in the receiving recess 113 can be seen by the user, which reduces the aesthetics of the cooking device 100. At the same time, when the light emitting portion 31 is working, the light emitted by the light emitting portion 31 can also be emitted from the first side end 111a of the panel body 11, which can easily interfere with the user's sight. In view of this, please refer to Figures 2 to 4In one embodiment, the accommodating recess 113 has a mounting wall opposite to the recessed opening, and the light shielding portion 13 is arranged on the mounting wall.

[0063] It should be noted that the installation wall of the accommodating recess 113 is opposite to the recessed opening. The installation wall can usually be understood as the bottom wall of the accommodating recess 113, that is, the wall surface close to the first side end 111a of the panel body 11. The light emitted by the light-emitting portion 31 is mainly emitted from the panel body 11 through the installation wall and interferes with the user's line of sight. The function of the shading portion 13 is to block the light, and this embodiment does not limit its structural form and material.

[0064] According to the above technical solution, a shading portion 13 is provided on the mounting wall. On the one hand, the color of the shading portion 13 can be matched with the color of the panel body 11, and the light-emitting portion 31 can be shielded by the shading portion 13, so that the light-emitting portion 31 is difficult to be observed from the outside, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking utensil 100. On the other hand, the shading portion 13 can also play a reflective role, so as to reflect part of the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 31 to the reflecting portion 12, and reflect the part of the light to the fire visible area through the reflecting portion 12, thereby enhancing the brightness of the fire visible area.

[0065] In one embodiment, the shading portion 13 includes a shading coating. By directly coating the shading coating on the mounting wall, the shading coating can be bonded to the mounting wall autonomously without connecting the two through other structures, and without processing the shading portion 13 to fit the size of the mounting wall. The arrangement is relatively simple, and the thickness of the shading coating is relatively thin, and the shading effect is good.

[0066] In one embodiment, the reflective portion 12 includes a reflective coating. By directly coating the reflective coating on the end surface of the second side end 112a, the reflective coating can be bonded to the second side end 112a autonomously without connecting the two through other structures, and the arrangement is relatively simple. At the same time, the reflective coating is relatively thin, has a good reflective effect, and occupies very little space of the cooking utensil 100.

[0067] In one embodiment, the shading coating and the reflective coating are made of the same material, for example, acrylic resin is used as the raw material, and a certain proportion of reflective material is mixed in a solvent to form a reflective coating. The embodiment of the present application does not limit its specific material.

[0068] The utility model also proposes a cooking utensil 100, which includes a panel structure 1. The specific structure of the panel structure 1 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the cooking utensil 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0069] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cooking utensil 100 further includes a base 2 and a light-emitting structure 3, the base 2 is formed with an installation cavity 21 with an upper opening, a cable reel assembly 22 is arranged in the installation cavity 21, the panel body 11 of the panel structure 1 covers the opening of the installation cavity 21, the second side end 112a of the panel body 11 is arranged toward the installation cavity 21, and an accommodating recess 113 is arranged on the end surface of the second side end 112a of the panel body 11; the light-emitting structure 3 includes a light-emitting portion 31, and the light-emitting portion 31 extends into the accommodating recess 113 to emit light in the panel body 11.

[0070] It should be noted that the light emitting structure 3 may be composed of a single light emitting portion 31 or a plurality of light emitting portions 31 . The present embodiment does not limit the number of the light emitting portions 31 in the light emitting structure 3 .

[0071] According to the above technical solution, the recessed opening of the accommodating recess 113 is set on the end surface of the second side end 112a, and the light-emitting portion 31 can extend from the second side end 112a into the accommodating recess 113, thereby ensuring the flatness of the first side end 111a of the panel body 11, making it convenient for the user to clean the first side end 111a of the panel body 11 after using the cooking utensil 100, that is, avoiding the first side end 111a of the panel body 11 from accumulating dirt.

[0072] Specifically, a mounting structure extending along the thickness direction of the panel structure 1 is disposed in the mounting cavity 21 of the base 2 , and the light emitting portion 31 is disposed on the mounting structure, thereby obtaining a stable mounting foundation.

[0073] To ensure the authenticity of the firepower display in the firepower viewing area, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the accommodating recess 113 and the light emitting portion 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence as a light emitting group, and a plurality of light emitting groups are arranged and spaced along the circumference of the fire power visible area. By arranging a plurality of light emitting groups along the circumference of the fire power visible area, when the pot is placed in the fire power visible area, the plurality of light emitting portions 31 can illuminate it from all angles on the circumference through the reflective portion 12, thereby illuminating the circumferential pot wall of the pot, thereby improving the realism of the fire power simulation and improving the user's viewing experience.

[0074] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting groups form a light-emitting module. On the panel body, a plurality of light-emitting modules are arranged. The light-emitting portion of each light-emitting module has a different light-emitting angle toward the light-reflecting portion, and the distance from the wire reel assembly is different, so as to form fire power viewing areas of different sizes and different light-emitting angles. Each fire power viewing area is respectively for cookware of different specifications, for example, Figure 2In the embodiment, for a straight-cylinder type of cookware, the distance between the light-emitting portion and the wire drum assembly is large, and the light-emitting angle toward the reflective portion is small, so as to finally adapt to the bottom of the cookware of this type to be illuminated toward the pot wall on the side thereof, while in the embodiment of the embodiment of the invention, the distance between the light-emitting portion and the wire drum assembly is large, and the light-emitting angle toward the reflective portion is small, so as to finally adapt the light-emitting portion of the straight-cylinder type of cookware to the bottom of the pot wall on the side thereof. Figure 4 In the present invention, for a pot with a pot wall having a certain slope, the distance between the light-emitting portion and the wire drum assembly is small, and the light-emitting angle toward the reflective portion is large, so as to ultimately adapt to the bottom of this type of pot to light the surrounding pot wall.

[0075] The light emitting portion 31 in the embodiment of the present application is used to emit light toward the reflecting portion 12, thereby illuminating the surrounding pot wall of the pot. Therefore, the light emitting direction of the light emitting portion 31 should have certain requirements to reduce the ineffective power loss of the light emitting portion 31. Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the light-emitting portion 31 emits light to form a light-emitting area in the panel body 11, and the projection of the light-emitting area in the horizontal plane has two boundary lines, and the central axis of the light-emitting area is defined between the two boundary lines; the center of the wire drum assembly 22 is projected in the horizontal plane to form a center point, and the center point is on the central axis.

[0076] It should be noted that the light emitted by the light-emitting part 31 forms a light-emitting area in the panel body 11 which can project a fan-shaped area in the horizontal plane. The projection area has two boundary lines, and the central axis of the two boundary lines is the direction of the light-emitting part 31. According to the above technical solution, the light-emitting part 31 is set toward the center point of the wire drum assembly 22, which can ensure that most of the light emitted by the light-emitting part 31 can be reflected by the reflecting part 12 into the visible area of ​​the firepower, thereby maximizing the utilization of the light intensity of the light-emitting part 31 and reducing the ineffective power loss of the light-emitting part 31.

[0077] In another embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a control device 4 , which is electrically connected to the light emitting portion 31 and the cable reel assembly 22 .

[0078] According to the above technical scheme, the control device 4 is a core electronic control component in the cooking utensil 100. By electrically connecting the light-emitting part 31 and the wire reel assembly 22 through the control device 4, the luminous intensity of the light-emitting part 31 can be associated with the heating power of the wire reel assembly 22, so as to feedback-control the luminous intensity of the light-emitting part 31 to match the heating power of the wire reel assembly 22. That is, the greater the heating power of the wire reel assembly 22, the greater the luminous intensity of the light-emitting part 31. Therefore, the heating power of the wire reel assembly 22 can be perceived by observing the intensity of light irradiated on the pot. This light interaction method is similar to the open flame interaction method, which is more intuitive and convenient for users to perceive the current firepower.

[0079] It should be explained that there is a positive correlation between the luminous intensity of the luminous portion 31 and the heating power of the wire drum assembly 22, which can be a direct proportional correlation or a quadratic or exponential correlation, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0080] In an interactive scenario, when the cooking utensil 100 does not detect that the pot is in the visible fire area, or when the wire reel assembly 22 has no power output when the pot is detected, the control device 4 controls the light-emitting portion 31 to remain in an off state; when the cooking utensil 100 detects that the pot is in the visible fire area and the wire reel assembly 22 has power output, the light-emitting portion 31 is controlled to be turned on with the corresponding light intensity, and the light intensity of the light-emitting portion 31 is adapted to the current output power of the wire reel assembly 22.

[0081] For further information, see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the panel body 11 is formed with an interactive control area; the control device 4 includes an interactive control panel 41 arranged corresponding to the interactive control area. It should be noted that the specific interactive form of the interactive control panel 41 can be realized by a touch screen or by a physical button, which is not limited in this embodiment. According to the above technical solution, the interactive control panel 41 can facilitate the user to operate the cooking appliance 100, such as turning on or off the wire reel assembly 22, increasing or decreasing the heating gear, etc.

[0082] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
