Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0027] The following will be combined with Figures 1-6 Describe a display component according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0028] The display component according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a panel 1 and a control box 2. The panel 1 is provided with a first display area 121 and a second display area 122. The outer surface of the panel 1 is provided with a menu 111. The menu 111, the first display area 121, and the second display area 122 are spaced apart from each other. The control box 2 is installed on the inner surface of the panel 1. The control box 2 includes a digital tube 221 and a display lamp 222. The digital tube 221 faces the first display area 121 and can display the information of the menu 111. The display lamp 222 faces the second display area 122 and can illuminate the parameter information at the second display area 122.

[0029] According to the display component of the embodiment of the present utility model, various ingredient images that can be cooked by the air fryer and corresponding codes can be displayed on the menu 111 on the outer surface of the panel 1. The digital tube 221 and the display lamp 222 on the control box 2 are respectively opposite to the first display area 121 and the second display area 122 on the panel 1. The display information of the digital tube 221 can be observed from the first display area 121, and the display lamp 222 can illuminate the second display area 122 to represent that the parameter information corresponding to the second display area 122 can be set numerically. When using the display component of this embodiment, the digital tube 221 can display various codes on the menu 111 to represent which ingredient is being cooked. The digital tube 221 can also display the numerical value corresponding to the parameter information of the second display area 122 when the second display area 122 is illuminated by the display lamp 222, so as to facilitate the setting of the parameters. Thus, it is no longer necessary to light up various ingredient images in the menu 111 through the display lamp 222, thereby effectively reducing the number of display lamps 222 on the control box 2, and the manufacturing cost of the display component is lower.

[0030] It should be noted that the second display area 122 corresponds to parameters such as time, temperature, and power that can be adjusted numerically. Taking the parameter as time as an example, when the second display area 122 is illuminated, the content displayed in the second display area 122 can be "time", "T", or other images that can be intuitively recognized as time.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the control box 2 further includes a light-shielding bracket 21. The light-shielding bracket 21 abuts against the inner surface of the panel 1. The light-shielding bracket 21 is provided with a first light-shielding hole 211 opposite to the first display area 121 and a second light-shielding hole 212 opposite to the second display area 122. The digital tube 221 is arranged in the first light-shielding hole 211, and the display lamp 222 is arranged in the second light-shielding hole 212.

[0032] The first light-shielding hole 211 can block the light emitted by the display screen of the digital tube 221 from diverging around, and the second light-shielding hole 212 can block the light emitted by the display lamp 222 from diverging around, effectively ensuring the brightness of the first display area 121 and the second display area 122. At the same time, it also effectively avoids the light emitted by the display screen of the digital tube 221 and the light emitted by the display lamp 222 from illuminating the adjacent display area and affecting the user's judgment, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0033] Exemplarily, the light-shielding bracket 21 is made of an opaque insulating material. The axial directions of the first light-shielding hole 211 and the second light-shielding hole 212 are consistent with the thickness direction of the panel 1. The light-shielding bracket 21 is in close contact with the inner surface of the panel 1, and the panel 1 closes the openings of the first light-shielding hole 211 and the second light-shielding hole 212 adjacent to the panel 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, there are at least two second display areas 122 , the second light shielding holes 212 correspond to the second display areas 122 one by one, each second light shielding hole 212 is provided with a display light 222 , and the parameter information at all second display areas 122 is different.

[0035] By setting at least two display areas, numerical settings can be made for at least two types of parameter information, making the air fryer more powerful.

[0036] For example, the number of the second display areas 122 is two and they correspond to time and temperature respectively. Thus, when cooking ingredients, the display component can flexibly adjust the cooking time and cooking temperature instead of using fixed cooking time and cooking temperature for different ingredients.

[0037] It should be noted that during the cooking process, when the function key on the panel 1 is pressed to illuminate one of the second display areas 122, the digital tube 221 can simultaneously display the numerical information corresponding to the parameter. For example, when the second display area 122 representing time is illuminated, the digital tube 221 displays the remaining cooking time of the food, and when the second display area 122 representing temperature is illuminated, the digital tube 221 displays the cooking temperature of the food.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the number of display lamps 222 is equal to the number of second light shielding holes 212. That is, each second display area 122 corresponds to a display lamp 222, and the display assembly is no longer provided with other display lamps 222, thereby further reducing the number of display lamps 222, and the manufacturing cost of the display assembly is lower.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the panel 1 includes a main body 11 and a display label 12. The main body 11 is provided with a first through hole 113 and a second through hole 114. The first through hole 113 is opposite to the first light-shielding hole 211, and the second through hole 114 is opposite to the second light-shielding hole 212. The first display area 121 and the second display area 122 are both provided on the display label 12. The display label 12 is connected to the side of the main body 11 away from the light-shielding bracket 21 and closes the first through hole 113 and the second through hole 114. The first display area 121 is arranged opposite to the first through hole 113, and the second display area 122 is arranged opposite to the second through hole 114.

[0040] The first display area 121 and the second display area 122 are disposed on the display label 12 instead of directly forming the first display area 121 and the second display area 122 on the main body 11. In this case, the material of the main body 11 may be different from that of the display label 12. For example, the main body 11 may be made of a lower-cost opaque material, thereby effectively reducing the production cost of the panel 1.

[0041] Exemplarily, the body 11 is made of an opaque material. The menu 111 is disposed on the outer surface of the body 11. The outer contour of the cross-section of the first through hole 113 matches the outer contour of the cross-section of the first light-shielding hole 211, and the outer contour of the cross-section of the second through hole 114 matches the outer contour of the cross-section of the second light-shielding hole 212. Along the thickness direction of the panel 1, the projection of the first through hole 113 covers the projection of the first display area 121, and the projection of the second through hole 114 covers the projection of the corresponding second display area 122.

[0042] In addition, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the display sticker 12 is generally circular. The two second display areas 122 are respectively located above and below the first display area 121, and the second display area 122 is adjacent to the first display area 121, thereby making the volume of the display sticker 12 smaller. Accordingly, the arrangement of the digital tubes 221 and the display lamps 222 on the control box 2 is more compact, and the volume of the control box 2 can be designed to be smaller, thus further reducing the manufacturing cost of the display component.

[0043] In some embodiments, the display sticker 12 includes a light-transmitting plate and a light-shielding layer. The light-shielding layer is disposed on the inner surface or the outer surface of the light-transmitting plate. Among them, as Figure 1 shown, the inner and outer contours of the light-shielding layer match the inner and outer contours of the second display area 122, that is, the area where the light-shielding layer is located is the second display area 122. At this time, when the light-transmitting plate is made of a material with a darker color close to the color of the light-shielding layer, the colors of all positions on the outer surface of the display sticker 12 are generally the same, and there is only a difference when the digital tube 221 or the display lamp 222 is working, thereby effectively improving the appearance beauty of the display component.

[0044] Or, as Figure 4 shown, the light-shielding layer surrounds to form the first display area 121 and the second display area 122. That is, the light-shielding layer blocks all other areas of the light-transmitting plate except the first display area 121 and the second display area 122. At this time, the first display area 121 and the second display area 122 can be clearly distinguished, reducing the operation difficulty of the display component.

[0045] Exemplarily, the light-transmitting plate is made of a semi-transparent material with a darker color, such as a semi-transparent lamp sheet.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the outer surface of the body 11 is provided with a mounting groove 112. The bottom surface of the mounting groove 112 is provided with the first through hole 113 and the second through hole 114, and the display sticker 12 is fitted in the mounting groove 112.

[0047] By providing a mounting groove 112 on the main body 11 for accommodating the display label 12, it is possible to prevent the panel 1 from protruding outward at the position of the display label 12, which affects the aesthetic appearance of the panel 1. At the same time, the mounting groove 112 also limits the display label 12, reducing the installation difficulty of the display label 12 on the main body 11.

[0048] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown, after the display label 12 is fitted and installed in the mounting groove 112, the outer surface of the display label 12 is generally smoothly connected to the outer surface of the main body 11, so as to further improve the aesthetic appearance of the display assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the display label 12 and the inner surface of the mounting groove 112 are bonded. This makes the connection between the two convenient and reliable, and also effectively ensures the connection sealing performance between the display label 12 and the main body 11.

[0050] Exemplarily, an adhesive layer is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the display label 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting groove 112, and / or an adhesive layer is provided between the inner surface of the display label 12 and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 112.

[0051] In some embodiments, an installation cavity is provided on the side of the light-shielding bracket 21 facing away from the panel 1. The control box 2 further includes an electronic control board 22 and a mica sheet 23. The electronic control board 22 is nested in the installation cavity, and both the display lamp 222 and the digital tube 221 are installed on the electronic control board 22. The mica sheet 23 is snap-fitted with the light-shielding bracket 21 and closes the opening of the installation cavity.

[0052] The electronic control board 22 and the mica sheet 23 are integrally installed on the light-shielding bracket 21, thereby effectively ensuring the reliable and stable installation of the digital tube 221 and the display lamp 222 in the corresponding first light-shielding holes 211 and second light-shielding holes 212.

[0053] Exemplarily, after the electronic control board 22 is nested in the installation cavity, the electronic control board 22 closes the openings of the first light-shielding hole 211 and the second light-shielding hole 212 away from the panel 1, thereby effectively preventing the light emitted by the display lamp 222 and the digital tube 221 from leaking out to the installation cavity, and further ensuring the light-converging effect of the first light-shielding hole 211 and the second light-shielding hole 212. The mica sheet 23 is snap-fitted on the side of the light-shielding bracket 21 facing away from the panel 1.
