[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application provides an induction cooker to solve the problem that the existing induction cooker sets an identification pattern on a glass panel for users to align their cookware, but this method is time-consuming, labor-intensive and difficult to align, which will be explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below.

[0040] The induction cooker provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the induction cooker provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a support 1, a stove 2 and a light ring 3. The stove 2 is convexly arranged on the support 1, and the side of the stove 2 facing away from the support 1 is conformally matched with the bottom surface of the pot, and the stove 2 is used to heat the pot; the light ring 3 is arranged around the stove 2.

[0041] In the induction cooker provided in the embodiment of the present application, the stove 2 is convexly arranged on the bracket 1, and the side of the stove 2 facing away from the bracket 1 is conformally matched with the bottom surface of the pot. Therefore, when placing the pot, the user can directly align the pot with the side of the stove 2 facing away from the bracket 1. Compared with aligning the pot using the identification pattern, the induction cooker with this structure can align the pot directly by aligning the outer edge of the pot with the outer edge of the stove 2, which is simpler and more convenient. In addition, a luminous ring 3 is provided around the outer periphery of the stove 2, which indicates the outer contour of the stove 2, further helping the user to align the pot and the outer edge of the stove 2 through sight.

[0042] The model of the induction cooker is not further limited here. For example, it can be double-headed or single-headed, embedded or external, portable, commercial or household, etc.

[0043] Optionally, the cooktop 2 includes a wire reel 21 and a panel 22. The wire reel 21 is at least partially protruded from the bracket 1, and the luminous ring 3 is arranged around the side of the wire reel 21; the panel 22 is at least partially protruded from the wire reel 21, and the panel 22 is conformally matched with the bottom surface of the pot. Among them, the wire reel 21 is suitable for installing a coil, and the coil generates an AC magnetic field after being energized. The AC magnetic field is a magnetic field with a strength that keeps changing, and the frequency is generally in the range of 20kHz to 27kHz. When the AC magnetic field passes through the pot placed on the panel 22, the energy is converted into heat energy in the pot by two physical phenomena. On the one hand, it is eddy current. The AC magnetic field causes the bottom of the pot to generate induced eddy current, and the eddy current is blocked inside the pot and then converted into heat energy. On the other hand, it is hysteresis loss. When the AC magnetic field constantly changes the direction of the magnetic pole of the metal of the pot, it will cause energy loss and turn into heat energy. The main source of heat is mainly generated by eddy current, and the heat energy generated by hysteresis loss is less than 10%. The heated pot can heat food.

[0044] That is, the wire drum 21 provides an installation space for the coil, the panel 22 provides a placement platform for the pot, and the coil passes through the panel 22 to heat the pot. Since the panel 22 is convexly arranged on the wire drum 21, when placing the pot, the user only needs to align the outer edge of the pot with the outer edge of the panel 22. The material of the panel 22 is not further limited here, for example, it can be microcrystalline glass.

[0045] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional view at AA in the middle. Figure 3 for Figure 2In the cross-sectional view at point B, a mounting groove 11 is recessed on one side of the bracket 1 facing the wire drum 21. The bracket 1 includes a side wall surrounding the mounting groove 11. The wire drum 21 is installed in the mounting groove 11, and a receiving cavity is sandwiched between the wire drum 21 and the side wall; please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a wire reel for an induction cooker provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein a peripheral recess of the wire reel 21 is provided with a receiving groove, the receiving groove is communicated with the receiving cavity, the luminous ring 3 includes a first portion 31 and a second portion 32 connected, the first portion 31 is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the second portion 32 is arranged in the receiving groove; wherein the luminous ring 3 is made of a flexible material.

[0046] That is, the second part 32 of the light-emitting ring 3 is clamped between the wire drum 21 and the bracket 1, and the light-emitting ring 3 is fastened to prevent the light-emitting ring 3 from falling off the side wall of the wire drum 21, thereby improving the fastening effect of the light-emitting ring 3. The connection method between the light-emitting ring 3, the wire drum 21 and the bracket 1 is not further limited here, and can be glued. Since the light-emitting ring 3 is made of a flexible material and the light-emitting ring 3 is clamped between the wire drum 21 and the bracket 1, when the wire drum 12 is pressed downward by an external force to squeeze the bracket 1, the light-emitting ring 3 is simultaneously compressed and elastically deformed to absorb part of the vibration, thereby improving the shock-absorbing effect between the wire drum 21 and the bracket 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the luminous ring 3 can be configured to be interference-fitted in the accommodating cavity and the accommodating groove, so as to further improve the fastening and shock-absorbing effects of the luminous ring 3. The material of the luminous ring 3 is not further limited here, and can be, for example, plastic or rubber.

[0048] Optionally, a stopper 311 is convexly provided on one side of the first part 31 facing the wire drum 21, and a stopper groove is concavely provided on the wire drum 21, and the stopper 311 is installed in the stopper groove. In some examples, the stopper 311 may be a convex block; in other examples, the stopper 311 may be a convex ring and extend along the circumference of the first part 31. The stopper 311 may be located on the side of the first part 31 facing away from the bracket 1, or the stopper 311 may be located on the side of the first part 31 facing the bracket 1.

[0049] By providing the limiting portion 311 , the limiting effect of the accommodating groove on the first portion 31 is further enhanced to prevent the first portion 31 from being loosened from the accommodating groove.

[0050] Optionally, the side wall of the receiving groove 12 relative to the notch is configured as a guiding inclined surface, and the guiding inclined surface is inclined along the gravity direction toward the side close to the wire drum 21. Then, when the light ring 3 needs to be replaced, the guiding inclined surface guides the light ring 3 to a certain extent, so that the user can take out the light ring 3 from the receiving groove and the receiving cavity.

[0051] Optionally, the luminous ring 3 further includes a plurality of lamp beads 33, which are arranged at intervals on the side of the first part 31 facing outside the receiving groove. The plurality of lamp beads 33 are electrically connected and connected to a power source. After being powered on, the plurality of lamp beads 33 are connected to form an outline of the outer contour of the wire reel 21, so that the user can assist in alignment through the field of vision. At the same time, the outer contour of the wire reel 21 has a luminous effect, which also improves the overall aesthetics and appearance of the product, thereby improving the texture of the product and increasing the user's experience.

[0052] Optionally, a groove is formed on one side of the first portion 31 facing outside the accommodating groove, and a plurality of lamp beads 33 are arranged in the groove at intervals, and the groove extends along the circumference of the first portion 31 .
