[0004] However, the above-mentioned dial lever type adjusting assembly has the problems of more parts, complex structure and high assembly difficulty. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model provides a kind of cooking utensil, simple structure, easy to assemble and low in cost, can solve the problem of more parts, complex structure and high assembly difficulty of dial lever type adjusting assembly of electric ceramic stove in relevant technology.

[0006] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of cooking utensil, including shell, heating assembly and dial switch component. Among them, dial switch component includes circuit board, control device and dial component. Heating assembly, circuit board and control device are all arranged in shell, and control device is electrically connected with circuit board, and circuit board is electrically connected with heating assembly. Part of structure of dial component is located in shell, part of structure extends to shell outside, and in the dial direction of dial component, dial component is movably connected with shell. Dial component is drivingly connected with control device, and control device is used to output corresponding power signal according to the dial state of dial component to control the heating power of heating assembly.

[0007] The cooking appliance in the embodiments of the present application reduces the complexity of external connections by placing the heating assembly, circuit board, and control device inside the housing, improving the reliability of the system. The housing provides physical protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors affecting the internal components. Since part of the dial assembly is located outside the housing, the user is isolated from the electrical components when operating, increasing safety. By setting the dial switch assembly and extending part of the dial assembly outside the housing, users can easily perform physical operations. This design provides an intuitive user interface for quick adjustments to heating power.

[0008] By setting the dial switch assembly to include the circuit board, control device, and dial assembly, the number of components is reduced, simplifying the structure of the dial switch assembly, reducing assembly difficulty, and thus reducing costs. In addition, this design typically allows independent replacement and maintenance of the dial assembly, control device, and circuit board, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the control device includes a receiving portion, and the receiving portion is fixedly connected with the dial assembly. The dial state of the dial assembly is input to the control device through the receiving portion.

[0010] By fixing the receiving portion to the dial assembly, it can be ensured that every action of the dial assembly is accurately transmitted to the control device, reducing errors in the signal transmission process. Direct mechanical connection can reduce signal transmission delay, allowing the system to quickly respond to user input. Fixed connection provides higher mechanical stability, reducing the risk of misoperation due to vibration or impact. This design reduces the complexity of intermediate transmission mechanisms, simplifies the overall structure, and reduces manufacturing and assembly costs. Due to the simple structure, maintenance and replacement of components are more convenient. Fixed connection can provide clear physical feedback, making it easier for users to perceive the effects of operation. Fixed connection reduces potential failure points, improving the overall safety and reliability of the system.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the control device includes an encoder or a sensor.

[0012] In this way, the encoder and sensor can provide high-precision position or state detection, allowing the control system to make subtle adjustments and precise power output. Compared with traditional mechanical switches, encoders can achieve more detailed continuous adjustment, rather than just discrete on / off states. Moreover, encoders and sensors are relatively mature technologies, and relevant encoders and sensors can be directly used, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the dial switch assembly, reducing the number of components, and reducing assembly difficulty.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the toggle state of the toggle assembly includes at least one of a position of the toggle assembly and a number of times the toggle assembly is toggled.

[0014] In this way, the control accuracy and flexibility of the toggle assembly can be improved, and different controls can be set according to different needs, thereby improving the applicability of the cooking appliance.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the toggle assembly includes a bracket and a toggle lever. The bracket is located in the housing, and the receiving portion is fixedly connected with the bracket. The toggle lever includes a first end and a second end, the first end of the toggle lever is fixedly connected with the bracket, and the second end extends out of the housing.

[0016] By providing the toggle assembly to include the bracket and the toggle lever, compared with designing the toggle assembly as a relatively large component, the assembly difficulty of the toggle assembly can be reduced. A larger toggle assembly requires a larger assembly space, and there are many other components in the housing of the cooking appliance, so it is difficult to provide a larger space. By providing the toggle assembly as two separate components (the bracket and the toggle lever), the bracket and the toggle lever of a suitable shape can be rotated according to the space on the housing, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the toggle assembly.

[0017] The separate design of the toggle lever and the bracket allows more flexible modular configuration, and the design of the bracket and the toggle lever can be adjusted according to different application needs. In the production process, the bracket and the toggle lever can be manufactured and tested separately, and then finally assembled, thereby improving the production efficiency and quality control. Different materials and manufacturing processes can be used to optimize the performance and cost of each component. If one of the toggle lever or the bracket has a problem, it can be replaced or repaired individually without replacing the entire component, thereby reducing the maintenance cost. The second end of the toggle lever extends out of the housing, providing a convenient user operation interface, and the internal fixation of the bracket ensures the stability of the operation. The separate design can better adjust the feel and feedback force of the toggle lever, thereby improving the user operation experience.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the housing includes an assembly opening, the toggle lever extends out of the housing from the assembly opening, and the toggle lever is movably connected with the assembly opening.

[0019] By setting the assembly opening, the installation and disassembly of the lever can be made simpler and faster, reducing assembly time and complexity. When maintenance or replacement is needed, the lever can be easily removed and reinstalled through the assembly opening, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. The movable connection of the lever and the assembly opening allows the lever to have some flexibility during operation, reducing wear and damage caused by fixed connection. The design of the assembly opening allows different types of lever assemblies to be integrated with the housing, improving the flexibility and adaptability of product design. The assembly opening makes the exposed part of the lever more closely combined with the housing, improving the overall aesthetics of the device. By reasonably designing the position and size of the assembly opening, the internal space layout of the device can be optimized, making the design more compact.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the bracket includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part is used to be fixedly connected with the receiving part, and the second connecting part is used to be fixedly connected with the first end of the lever. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are arranged in the lever moving direction.

[0021] By arranging the first connecting part and the second connecting part in the moving direction, the bracket can provide more uniform support, reduce stress concentration during lever operation, help stabilize the movement trajectory of the lever, reduce vibration and swing, and improve the accuracy and reliability of operation. The first connecting part and the second connecting part arranged in the moving direction can reduce the space occupied by the lever assembly in the thickness direction of the housing, which is conducive to the development of thin and light cooking utensils. The first connecting part and the second connecting part arranged in the moving direction can better resist the torsional force during lever operation, improving the mechanical strength of the overall structure. The independent first connecting part and the second connecting part design makes it easier to disassemble and replace when needed, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the lever assembly includes a first connecting part. The first connecting part includes a first assembly hole penetrating in the direction from the control device to the lever assembly. Part of the structure of the receiving part penetrates into the first assembly hole from the side of the first assembly hole facing the control device, and the first connecting part is fixedly connected with the receiving part from the side of the first assembly hole facing away from the control device.

[0023] The first connecting piece can improve the stability of the connection between the receiving part and the support of the control device. By setting the first assembly hole in the first connecting part and fixing it on both sides of the first assembly hole (one side of the receiving part and one side of the first connecting piece), a more stable connection can be provided, reducing the looseness and displacement of the operating assembly during operation. This double-sided fixing method can more evenly distribute the stress during operation, reducing the pressure on a single connection point and improving the stability of the overall structure. The double-sided fixing design makes it easier to disassemble and replace when needed, simplifying the maintenance process. The double-sided fixing design reduces the risk of the assembly falling off during operation, improving the safety of the equipment.

[0024] The first assembly hole can provide a precise positioning reference to ensure accurate alignment of the receiving part and the first connecting piece during assembly, improving assembly accuracy. The through-hole design reduces functional failure caused by assembly errors, ensuring the reliability of the toggle switch assembly. The through-hole design of the first assembly hole makes the assembly process simpler and more intuitive, reducing assembly time and complexity. The standardized hole and connecting piece design can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce production costs.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the first connecting part away from the control device includes a first avoiding slot. The first assembly hole communicates with the first avoiding slot, and the first connecting piece is connected with the receiving part from the first avoiding slot.

[0026] By setting the first avoiding slot, the first connecting piece can provide assembly space, making it easier to align and insert the first connecting piece during assembly, reducing the difficulty of assembling the first connecting piece. The first avoiding slot can accommodate deviations caused by manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors to ensure smooth installation of the first connecting piece. The first avoiding slot can provide additional space to prevent damage to the surrounding structure during installation or operation. The design of the first avoiding slot makes it easier to disassemble the first connecting piece when needed, simplifying the maintenance and replacement process. By reasonably designing the position and size of the first avoiding slot, the utilization of internal space can be optimized, making the equipment design more compact.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the second connecting part includes an assembly slot, and the assembly slot is located at the end of the second connecting part facing the toggle lever. The end of the assembly slot facing the toggle lever is open, and the first end of the toggle lever enters the assembly slot from the opening and is fixedly connected with the assembly slot.

[0028] By setting the second connecting part as an assembly groove facing the lever opening, and by extending the partial structure of the first end of the lever into the assembly groove, that is, by embedding the first section of the lever into the assembly groove, the torsional force during operation of the lever can be effectively resisted, and the stability and durability of the overall structure are improved. In addition, the assembly groove provides a clear positioning reference, ensuring accurate alignment of the lever during assembly, improving assembly accuracy. Embedded fixation reduces the risk of the lever falling off during operation, improving the safety of the equipment. In addition, compared to directly stacking the first end of the lever and the second connecting part, this embedded design can reduce the size of the shell of the cooking utensil in the thickness direction, facilitating the development of light and thin cooking utensils.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the lever assembly includes a second connecting piece. The groove wall of the assembly groove is provided with a second assembly hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the shell, and the first end of the lever includes a third assembly hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the shell. The partial structure of the second connecting piece passes through the second assembly hole and the third assembly hole and is fixedly connected with the first end of the lever.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, the second connecting piece firmly fixes the first end of the lever in the assembly groove through the penetrating mode, providing stronger mechanical connection and reducing the possibility of loosening and displacement. The penetrating connection can effectively resist the torsional force and tensile force during operation of the lever, improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. The second assembly hole and the third assembly hole provide a clear positioning reference, ensuring accurate alignment of the lever during assembly, improving assembly accuracy. Reducing functional failure caused by assembly errors ensures the reliability of the lever switch assembly. The penetrating design makes the installation process of the connecting piece more simple and intuitive, reducing assembly time and complexity. The standardized hole and connecting piece design can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce production costs. The second connecting piece provides additional safety protection to ensure that the lever remains stably connected even under extreme conditions.

[0031] In a possible implementation, one side of the second connecting part is provided with a second avoiding groove in the thickness direction of the shell. The orthographic projection of the second assembly hole in the thickness direction of the shell is located in the avoiding groove, and the second connecting piece is connected with the first end of the lever from the second avoiding groove.

[0032] The second avoiding groove on the support in the embodiment of the application provides additional space, so that the second connecting piece is easier to align and insert during assembly, simplifying the assembly process. The second avoiding groove can accommodate deviations caused by manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors, ensuring that the second connecting piece can be smoothly installed. And when part of the structure of the second connecting piece is located in the second avoiding groove, it does not increase the thickness of the support, thereby not occupying the space of the shell in the thickness direction, which is conducive to the light and thin development of the cooking utensil. By reasonably designing the position and size of the second avoiding groove, the utilization of internal space can be optimized, and the device design is more compact. The design of the second avoiding groove can hide part of the structure of the second connecting piece, improving the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] It should be noted that the cooking appliance provided in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to electric ceramic stove, electromagnetic stove, electric heating stove, electric oven, electric rice cooker, frying and baking machine / electric baking tray, electric kettle, slow cooker, multifunctional cooking pot, electric chafing dish, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the cooking appliance is not further limited, and the cooking appliance is taken as an electric ceramic stove as an example for description below.

[0052] The cooking appliance will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0053] Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of a cooking appliance provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the cooking appliance is taken as the z direction, the toggle direction of the toggle lever is taken as the x direction, and the direction from the control device to the toggle assembly is taken as the y direction for convenient description.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking appliance comprises a control device 32, a toggle assembly 33 and a toggle lever 332. Figure 1As shown, the utility model embodiment provides a kind of cooking utensil 100, can include shell 10, heating assembly 20 and toggle switch component 30.Thereinto, as Figure 2 As shown, toggle switch component 30 can include circuit board 31, control device 32 and toggle component 33.Heating assembly 20, circuit board 31 and control device 32 are all arranged in shell 10, and control device 32 is electrically connected with circuit board 31, and circuit board 31 is electrically connected with heating assembly 20.The partial structure of toggle component 33 is located in shell 10, and part of structure extends to the outside of shell 10, and toggle component 33 is movably connected with shell 10.Toggle component 33 is drivingly connected with control device 32, and control device 32 is used to export corresponding power signal according to the toggle state of toggle component 33 to control the heating power of heating assembly 20.

[0056] It needs to be explained that the principle of controlling the heating power of heating assembly 20 by toggle switch component 30 can be that the toggle state of toggle component 33 is input to control device 32, control device 32 converts the mechanical signal of toggle component 33 into digital signal, then converts digital signal into power signal by circuit board 31, and then controls the heating power of heating assembly 20.

[0057] The cooking utensil 100 in the embodiment of the application reduces the complexity of external connection by placing heating assembly 20, circuit board 31 and control device 32 in shell 10, improves the reliability of system.Shell 10 provides physical protection to prevent dust, moisture and other environmental factors from affecting internal components.As part of the structure of toggle component 33 is located outside shell 10, user operation is isolated from electrical part, increasing the safety of use.By setting toggle switch component 30, and extending part of toggle component 33 to the outside of shell 10, user can easily perform physical operation.This design provides intuitive user interface, facilitates quick adjustment of heating power.

[0058] By setting toggle switch component 30 to include circuit board 31, control device 32 and toggle component 33, there are fewer components, which can simplify the structure of toggle switch component 30, reduce assembly difficulty, and then reduce cost.In addition, this design usually allows independent replacement and maintenance of toggle component 33, control device 32 and circuit board 31, reduces maintenance cost and difficulty.

[0059] Illustratively, circuit board 31 and control device 32 are fixedly connected, so that toggle switch component 30 can be a module, facilitating assembly.

[0060] As Figure 3 As shown, control device 32 can include receiving part 321, receiving part 321 is fixedly connected with toggle component 33, and the toggle state of toggle component 33 is input to control device 32 through receiving part 321.

[0061] For example, the receiving portion 321 extends along the direction (y direction) from the control device 32 to the dial assembly 33, and part of the structure extends to the outside of the control device 32 to be fixedly connected with the dial assembly 33.

[0062] By fixedly connecting the receiving portion 321 with the dial assembly 33, it can be ensured that each action of the dial assembly 33 can be accurately transmitted to the control device 32, reducing errors in the signal transmission process. Direct mechanical connection can reduce the delay of signal transmission, enabling the system to quickly respond to user input. Fixed connection provides higher mechanical stability, reducing the risk of misoperation due to vibration or impact. This design reduces the complexity of intermediate transmission mechanisms, simplifies the overall structure, and reduces manufacturing and assembly costs. Due to the simple structure, it is more convenient to maintain and replace parts. Fixed connection can provide clear physical feedback, making it easier for users to perceive the effects of operation. Fixed connection reduces potential failure points, improving the overall safety and reliability of the system.

[0063] In a possible implementation, the control device 32 can include an encoder or a sensor. For example, the receiving portion 321 is connected with the encoder or the sensor. The receiving portion 321 is configured as a receiving unit of the encoder or the sensor.

[0064] In this way, the encoder and the sensor can provide high-precision position or state detection, so that the control system can make subtle adjustments and accurate power output. Compared with traditional mechanical switches, the encoder can achieve more detailed continuous adjustment, rather than just discrete on / off states. In addition, the encoder and the sensor technology is relatively mature, and the encoder and the sensor in related technologies can be directly used, which is easy to obtain and can reduce the difficulty of obtaining the control device 32, facilitating mass production. In addition, it can also reduce the structural complexity of the dial switch assembly 30, so that the dial switch assembly 30 has fewer parts and lower assembly difficulty.

[0065] It should be noted that the encoder or the sensor in the control device 32 can use the encoder and the sensor in related technologies, for example, an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder. As long as the signal conversion can be performed, it can be selected according to specific needs, and in the embodiments of the present application, the type of the encoder or the sensor in the control device 32 is not limited further.

[0066] In a possible implementation, the dial state of the dial assembly 33 can include at least one of the position of the dial assembly 33 and the number of times the dial assembly 33 is dialed.

[0067] For example, the toggle state of the toggle assembly 33 is the position of the toggle assembly 33, and when the position of the toggle assembly 33 changes, the heating power of the heating assembly 20 can be changed. Alternatively, the toggle state of the toggle assembly 33 is the number of times the toggle assembly 33 is toggled, and when the toggle assembly 33 is toggled once, the heating power of the heating assembly 20 can be changed once, for example, toggling once is the first heating power, and toggling twice is the second heating power. Alternatively, the toggle state can include the position of the toggle assembly 33 and the number of times the toggle assembly 33 is toggled, so that the heating power can be controlled by two variables, and thus the heating power of the heating assembly 20 can be more accurately controlled.

[0068] In this way, the control accuracy and flexibility of the toggle assembly 33 can be improved, and different controls can be set according to different needs, thereby improving the applicability of the cooking appliance 100.

[0069] In one possible implementation, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 11, the toggle assembly 33 can include a bracket 331 and a toggle rod 332. The bracket 331 is located in the housing 10, and the receiving portion 321 is fixedly connected to the bracket 331. The toggle rod 332 includes a first end 332a and a second end 332b. The first end 332a of the toggle rod 332 is fixedly connected to the bracket 331, and the second end 332b extends out of the housing 10.

[0070] By providing the toggle assembly 33 to include the bracket 331 and the toggle rod 332, compared to designing the toggle assembly 33 as a relatively large component, the separate design of the toggle rod 332 and the bracket 331 can reduce the assembly difficulty of the toggle assembly 33. Because a larger toggle assembly 33 requires a larger assembly space, and there are many other components in the housing 10 of the cooking appliance 100, it is difficult to provide a larger space. By providing the toggle assembly 33 as two separate components (the bracket 331 and the toggle rod 332), the bracket 331 and the toggle rod 332 of a suitable shape can be rotated according to the space on the housing 10, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the toggle assembly 33.

[0071] The separate design of the lever 332 and the bracket 331 allows for more flexible modular configuration, allowing the design of the bracket 331 and the lever 332 to be adjusted according to different application requirements. They can be manufactured and tested separately during the production process, and then finally assembled, improving production efficiency and quality control. Different materials and manufacturing processes can also be used to optimize the performance and cost of each component. If a problem occurs in one of the lever 332 or the bracket 331, it can be replaced or repaired individually without the need to replace the entire component, reducing maintenance costs. The second end 332b of the lever 332 extends outside the housing 10, providing a convenient user operation interface, while the internal fixation of the bracket 331 ensures the stability of the operation. The separate design can better adjust the feel and feedback force of the lever 332, improving the user's operation experience.

[0072] For example, the housing 10 includes an assembly port 11 (see Figure 1 The lever 332 extends from the assembly port 11 outside the housing 10, and the lever 332 is movably connected to the assembly port 11.

[0073] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the shape and size of the assembly port 11 are not further limited, as long as the lever 332 can be assembled to the housing 10.

[0074] By providing the assembly port 11, the installation and removal of the lever 332 can be made simpler and faster, reducing assembly time and complexity. When maintenance or replacement is required, the lever 332 can be easily removed and reinstalled through the assembly port 11, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. The movable connection of the lever 332 and the assembly port 11 allows the lever 332 to have some flexibility during operation, reducing wear and damage caused by fixed connection. The design of the assembly port 11 allows different types of lever assemblies 33 to be integrated with the housing 10, improving the flexibility and adaptability of product design. The assembly port 11 makes the exposed part of the lever 332 more closely combined with the housing 10, improving the overall aesthetics of the device. By reasonably designing the position and size of the assembly port 11, the internal space layout of the device can be optimized, making the design more compact.

[0075] For example, the lever assembly 33 can also include a first connecting piece 333 and a second connecting piece 334 (see Figure 4 The first connecting piece 333 is used to fixedly connect the bracket 331 with the receiving portion 321 of the control device 32, and the second connecting piece 334 is used to fixedly connect the bracket 331 and the lever 332. By providing the first connecting piece 333 and the second connecting piece 334, the connection stability of the bracket 331 and the control device 32, and the connection stability between the bracket 331 and the lever 332 can be improved.

[0076] In a possible implementation, continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 331 can include a first connecting portion 3311 and a second connecting portion 3312. The first connecting portion 3311 is configured to be fixedly connected with the receiving portion 321, and the second connecting portion 3312 is configured to be fixedly connected with the first end 332a of the dial lever 332. The first connecting portion 3311 and the second connecting portion 3312 are arranged in a spaced manner in the dialing direction (x direction) of the dial lever 332.

[0077] For example, the first connecting portion 3311 is arranged towards the receiving portion 321, and the second connecting portion 3312 is arranged towards the bracket 331, so that the structure of the dialing switch assembly 30 is more compact.

[0078] By arranging the first connecting portion 3311 and the second connecting portion 3312 in a spaced manner in the dialing direction, the bracket 331 can provide more uniform support, reduce stress concentration when the dial lever 332 is operated, help stabilize the movement trajectory of the dial lever 332, reduce vibration and swing, and improve the accuracy and reliability of operation. The first connecting portion 3311 and the second connecting portion 3312 arranged in a spaced manner in the dialing direction can reduce the space occupied by the dialing assembly 33 in the thickness direction of the housing 10, which is conducive to the development of the thinness of the cooking appliance 100. The first connecting portion 3311 and the second connecting portion 3312 arranged in a spaced manner in the dialing direction can better resist the torsional force when the dial lever 332 is operated, and improve the mechanical strength of the overall structure. The independent first connecting portion 3311 and the second connecting portion 3312 design makes it easier to disassemble and replace when needed, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0079] In a possible implementation, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting portion 3311 can include a first assembly hole 3316 penetrating in the direction (y direction) from the control device 32 to the bracket 331. Part of the structure of the receiving portion 321 penetrates into the first assembly hole 3316 from the side of the first assembly hole 3316 facing the control device 32, and the first connecting piece 333 is fixedly connected with the receiving portion 321 from the side of the first assembly hole 3316 facing away from the control device 32.

[0080] The first connecting member 333 can improve the stability of the connection between the receiving portion 321 of the control device 32 and the bracket 331. By providing the first assembly hole 3316 in the first connecting portion 3311 and fixing it on both sides of the first assembly hole 3316 (one side of the receiving portion 321 and one side of the first connecting member 333), a more stable connection can be provided, reducing the looseness and displacement of the toggle assembly 33 during operation. This double-sided fixing method can more evenly distribute the stress during operation, reducing the pressure on a single connection point and improving the stability of the overall structure. The double-sided fixing design makes it easier to disassemble and replace when needed, simplifying the maintenance process. The double-sided fixing design reduces the risk of components falling off during operation, improving the safety of the equipment.

[0081] The first assembly hole 3316 can provide a precise positioning reference, ensuring accurate alignment of the receiving portion 321 and the first connecting member 333 during assembly, improving assembly accuracy. The through-hole design reduces the risk of functional failure due to assembly errors, ensuring the reliability of the toggle switch assembly 30. The through-hole design of the first assembly hole 3316 makes the assembly process simpler and more intuitive, reducing assembly time and complexity. The standardized hole and connecting member design can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce production costs.

[0082] It should be noted that the connection method of the first connecting portion 3311 and the receiving portion 321 can also be other methods, such as clamping, riveting, bonding, welding, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the connection method of the first connecting portion 3311 and the receiving portion 321 is not limited further.

[0083] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the side of the first connecting portion 3311 away from the control device 32 includes a first relief groove 3313. The first assembly hole 3316 communicates with the first relief groove 3313, and the first connecting member 333 is connected with the receiving portion 321 from the first relief groove 3313. That is, during assembly of the toggle switch assembly 30, the first connecting member 333 can be assembled with the receiving portion 321 from the first relief groove 3313. The existence of the first relief groove 3313 can increase the assembly space of the first connecting member 333, thereby facilitating assembly.

[0084] For example, the receiving portion 321 is provided with a threaded hole 3211, and part of the structure of the first connecting member 333 is screwed into the threaded hole 3211 of the receiving portion 321 and fixedly connected with the receiving portion 321.

[0085] For example, the first relief groove 3313 is recessed from the side of the first connecting portion 3311 away from the control device 32 along the thickness direction of the housing 10. This can also reduce the material usage of the bracket 331, thereby reducing the weight of the bracket 331 and reducing costs.

[0086] By setting the first avoiding groove 3313, assembly space can be provided for the first connecting piece 333, making it easier to align and insert the first connecting piece 333 during assembly, reducing the difficulty of assembling the first connecting piece 333. The first avoiding groove 3313 can accommodate deviations due to manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors, ensuring that the first connecting piece 333 can be smoothly installed. The first avoiding groove 3313 can provide additional space to prevent the first connecting piece 333 from causing damage to the surrounding structure during installation or operation. The design of the first avoiding groove 3313 makes it easier to disassemble the first connecting piece 333 when needed, simplifying the maintenance and replacement process. By reasonably designing the position and size of the first avoiding groove 3313, the utilization of internal space can be optimized, making the device design more compact.

[0087] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting part 3312 can include an assembly groove 3315 located at one end of the second connecting part 3312 facing the lever 332, and the end of the assembly groove 3315 facing the lever 332 is open. The first end 332a of the lever 332 enters the assembly groove 3315 from the opening and is fixedly connected with the assembly groove 3315. That is, the first end 332a of the lever 332 is embedded in the assembly groove 3315.

[0088] By setting the second connecting part 3312 as an assembly groove 3315 open to the lever 332, and inserting part of the structure of the first end 332a of the lever 332 into the assembly groove 3315, that is, embedding the first section of the lever 332 into the assembly groove 3315, it can effectively resist the torsional force when the lever 332 is operated, improve the stability and durability of the overall structure. In addition, the assembly groove 3315 provides a clear positioning reference, ensuring accurate alignment of the lever 332 during assembly, improving assembly accuracy. Embedded fixation reduces the risk of the lever 332 falling off during operation, improving the safety of the device. In addition, compared to directly stacking the first end 332a of the lever 332 and the second connecting part 3312, this embedded design can reduce the size of the shell 10 of the cooking utensil 100 in the thickness direction, facilitating the development of the thin and light cooking utensil 100.

[0089] Continuing to refer to Figure 4As shown, the groove wall of the assembly groove 3315 is provided with a second assembly hole 3317 penetrating in the thickness direction (z direction) of the shell 10. Exemplarily, in the z direction, one second assembly hole 3317 is provided on the top wall and the bottom wall of the assembly groove 3315 respectively, and the two second assembly holes 3317 are oppositely arranged. The first end 332a of the lever 332 comprises a third assembly hole 3321 penetrating in the thickness direction of the shell 10. Part of the structure of the second connecting piece 334 passes through the second assembly hole 3317 and the third assembly hole 3321 and is fixedly connected with the first end 332a of the lever 332.

[0090] It should be noted that when the two second assembly holes 3317 and the third assembly hole 3321 are aligned during assembly, the second connecting piece 334 can be assembled.

[0091] In the embodiment of the application, the second connecting piece 334 firmly fixes the first end 332a of the lever 332 in the assembly groove 3315 by penetrating, providing stronger mechanical connection and reducing the possibility of loosening and displacement. The penetrating connection can effectively resist the torsional force and tensile force during operation of the lever 332, improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. The second assembly hole 3317 and the third assembly hole 3321 provide a clear positioning reference, ensuring accurate alignment of the lever 332 during assembly and improving assembly accuracy. Reducing functional failure caused by assembly errors ensures the reliability of the toggle switch assembly 30. The penetrating design makes the installation process of the connecting piece simpler and more intuitive, reducing assembly time and complexity. The standardized hole and connecting piece design can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce production costs. The second connecting piece 334 provides additional security, ensuring that the lever 332 remains stably connected even under extreme conditions.

[0092] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in the thickness direction (z direction) of the shell 10, one side of the second connecting portion 3312 is provided with a second avoiding groove 3314. The orthogonal projection of the second assembly hole 3317 in the thickness direction of the shell 10 is located in the avoiding groove, and the second connecting piece 334 is connected with the first end 332a of the lever 332 from the second avoiding groove 3314.

[0093] Exemplarily, the second avoiding groove 3314 is recessed from one side of the second connecting portion 3312 along the thickness direction of the shell 10. In this way, the material of the bracket 331 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the bracket 331 and reducing costs.

[0094] The second avoiding groove 3314 on the support 331 in the embodiment of the present application provides additional space, so that the second connecting piece 334 is easier to align and insert during assembly, simplifying the assembly process. The second avoiding groove 3314 can accommodate deviations caused by manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors, ensuring that the second connecting piece 334 can be smoothly installed. And when part of the structure of the second connecting piece 334 is located in the second avoiding groove 3314, it will not increase the thickness of the support 331, and thus will not occupy the space of the shell 10 in the thickness direction, which is conducive to the development of the thin and light cooking utensil 100. By reasonably designing the position and size of the second avoiding groove 3314, the utilization of internal space can be optimized, and the device design can be more compact. The design of the second avoiding groove 3314 can hide part of the structure of the second connecting piece 334, and improve the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0095] For example, a rib plate 3318 can be arranged between the first avoiding groove 3313 and the second avoiding groove 3314, which can improve the structural strength of the support 331.
