Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food warming board technology, and in particular to a flexible, bendable, multifunctional food warming board. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional food warmers are primarily used to keep food warm at the table, ensuring it doesn't get cold while being prepared or waiting to be eaten. However, existing food warmers have the following problems and shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Simple and bulky structure:

[0004] Most existing food warmers use hard materials (such as glass, ceramic, or metal) as their base. While these materials have good thermal conductivity, they are heavy, bulky, and inconvenient to store and carry. For example, traditional quartz glass food warmers are not only heavy but also prone to cracking when heated unevenly, posing a safety hazard.

[0005] 2. Low and uneven heating efficiency:

[0006] The heating wires in existing food warmers are typically arranged in a simple, elongated S-shape. This arrangement easily leads to exposed wire marks after repeated bending, affecting the appearance. Furthermore, this arrangement results in low heating efficiency, uneven heat distribution, and a tendency for localized overheating or insufficient temperature.

[0007] 3. Inconvenient to store:

[0008] Most cutting boards are not designed with storage in mind. Very few products on the market come with an integrated storage roll, and even if they do, they often have design flaws, such as the storage roll being exposed and easily accumulating dirt and grime.

[0009] 4. Inadequate temperature control system:

[0010] Most existing food warmers use a single thermostat, lacking high-precision temperature detection and intelligent control functions. This not only affects the heat preservation effect but also poses certain safety hazards, such as equipment damage or food spoilage due to excessive temperature. Utility Model Content

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a flexible and bendable multifunctional food warming board, including: a silicone part 30, a control box 60 that is snapped into the end of the silicone part 30, and a storage component 90;

[0049] The silicone part 30 contains a heating element 2. The silicone part 30 is made of flexible silicone material, which allows the food warmer to be bent at will, making it convenient to store and use. This solves the problem of traditional food warmers being bulky and inconvenient to store, and improves the portability and flexibility of the product. It is especially suitable for small kitchens or scenarios that require frequent movement.

[0050] The heating elements 2 are arranged in a vertical S-shape with a column spacing of 15-22mm. This arrangement ensures uniform heat distribution and avoids localized overheating or uneven temperature. Furthermore, no marks from the heating elements 2 are visible on the surface after repeated bending, improving the product's appearance and lifespan.

[0051] The control box 60 is snapped into the silicone part 30 and has an anti-bending and anti-fall-off interlayer inside;

[0052] This design not only enhances the connection stability between the control box and the silicone parts, but also prevents components from detaching due to frequent bending. At the same time, the narrow, elongated oval design of the control box saves practical space and improves the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0053] The control box 60 includes a housing 8, a circuit board 11, a thermostat 6, a temperature detection component 7, and a power socket 12 disposed within the housing 8. The corresponding ends of the circuit board 11 are electrically connected to the corresponding ends of the thermostat 6, the temperature detection component 7, the heating component 2, and the power socket 12. Furthermore, the circuit board 11 is fixed inside the housing 8 by screws 13. The thermostat 6 and the temperature detection component 7 are both disposed on the circuit board 11. The temperature detection component 7 includes a thermistor. The power socket 12 is an embedded power socket that can be stored directly without unplugging the power cord, making it more convenient for lazy people to store. The heating element 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 via wires, and its heating state is controlled by the circuit board 11. The temperature detection element 7 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 via wires and transmits the detected temperature signal to the circuit board 11. The thermostat 6 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11, receives the temperature signal from the temperature detection element 7, and controls the heating state of the heating element 2 according to a preset temperature value. The power socket 12 is connected to the power interface of the circuit board 11 to provide power to the system. The combination of the thermostat and the temperature detection element 7 achieves high-precision and high-safety temperature control, ensuring that the food warmer maintains a stable heat preservation effect during use, while avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive temperature.

[0054] The storage component 90 is hidden at the bottom of the silicone part; the hidden design makes the storage roll not take up extra space and is easy to unfold and store when in use;

[0055] The bottom of the silicone part 30 is provided with several heat-insulating support feet 301. The heat-insulating support feet 301 have a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. This structural design reduces the contact area with the countertop, avoids damage to the countertop, and enhances the heat insulation effect, preventing heat from being conducted to the countertop and protecting the countertop from high temperature.

[0056] Furthermore, the silicone component 30 includes an upper silicone mold 1 and a lower silicone mold 3; the surface of the upper silicone mold 1 is sprayed with an oil-resistant coating. The double-layer silicone design can effectively prevent the heating component 2 from directly contacting the outside world, avoiding safety hazards caused by high temperatures, while reducing heat loss and improving thermal efficiency; the oil-resistant coating can effectively prevent oil stains from adhering to the surface of the cooking plate, and even if oil stains come into contact with the plate during cooking, they are easy to wipe clean, reducing cleaning difficulty and time; the oil-resistant coating can prevent oil stains from penetrating into the silicone, avoiding aging and deterioration of the silicone due to long-term contact with oil stains, thereby extending the product's service life.

[0057] Furthermore, the heating component 2 includes a heating wire disposed between the upper silicone mold 1 and the lower silicone mold 3, arranged in a vertical S-shape with a spacing of 15-22mm. This arrangement ensures uniform heat distribution and avoids localized overheating or uneven temperature. Simultaneously, no traces of the heating wire are visible on the surface after repeated bending, improving the product's appearance quality and lifespan.

[0058] Furthermore, a light guide post 10 is also provided inside the housing 8, which is mounted on the circuit board 11. The light guide post 10 is an opaque plastic component. The main function of the light guide post is to prevent external light from interfering with the display content of the control box panel. By reducing light interference, the light guide post can significantly improve the stability of the light source. This allows the display panel of the food warmer control box to display the set insulation temperature more accurately, avoiding display confusion caused by overlapping light sources.

[0059] Furthermore, the housing 8 is also equipped with a power switch button, a timer button, a temperature button, multiple temperature indicator lights, multiple timer indicator lights, and a child lock indicator light (hidden and open).

[0060] The functions of the power switch button, timer button, temperature button, power switch indicator light, multiple temperature indicator lights, and multiple timer indicator lights are further explained in detail; among them, the temperature indicator lights include LED1, LED2, LED3, and LED4; the timer indicator lights include LED5, LED6, and LED7; and the child lock indicator light includes LED8.

The default timer for power-on is 2 hours and the temperature is 80℃. LED6 and LED3 are always on.) The LEDs must not be lit repeatedly. The previous one must be turned off before the next one is lit.

[0062] Timer button K2: Timer (timer switch, default timer 2H / LED6 lit, when power switch button K1 is on and child lock is not activated, the first press of timer button K2 jumps to timer 4H / LED7 is constantly lit, the second press of timer button K2 switches the timer duration to 1H / LED5 is constantly lit and LED7 is off, a total of 3 levels (1H-2H-4H, press timer button K2 to cycle) Child lock is disabled, the LED light must not be lit repeatedly, the previous light must be turned off before the next light is lit;

[0063] Temperature button K3: Temperature adjustment (disabled when child lock is engaged; temperature switch with four settings (40℃-60℃-80℃-100℃). Pressing temperature button K3 cycles through the temperature settings. When button K1 is pressed, the default temperature is 80℃ / LED3 remains constantly lit. (See diagram for temperature and LED indicator: 40℃ / LED1-60℃ / LED2-80℃ / LED3-100℃ / LED4). When child lock is engaged, K3 is disabled, and the LEDs must not light up repeatedly; the previous LED must be turned off before the next one lights up.

[0064] LED1: 40℃ indicator light (white);

[0065] LED2: 60℃ indicator light (white);

[0066] LED3: 80℃ indicator light (white);

[0067] LED4: 100℃ indicator light (white);

[0068] LED5: 1H timer indicator (white);

[0069] LED6: 2H timer indicator (white);

[0070] LED7: 4H timer indicator (white);

[0071] LED8: Child lock switch indicator light / normally closed by default, turns on when k1 is pressed and held for ≥3 seconds (white);

[0072] Function 1: When the K1-K2-K3 buttons respond, the buzzer (located on the housing 8, not shown) emits a beep sound;

[0073] Function 2: When the temperature is out of control (greater than 10% of the set temperature), the buzzer will output a multi-frequency signal with three beeps followed by three pauses, such as: beep~beep~beep~, beep~beep~beep~, beep~beep~beep~;

[0074] After connecting the power, press the power switch button K1 to turn on the machine. The buzzer will make a "beep" sound. At this time, the default temperature is 80 degrees (LED3 is lit), and the default timer is 2 hours (LED6 is lit). Then press the temperature button K3 to adjust the temperature. The buzzer will make a "beep" sound again. After pressing, the temperature indicator light will reverse from LED3 (80℃) to LED4 (100℃). LED3 will turn off, and the cycle will continue.

[0075] If you press the timer button k2, LED7 / 4H will light up; press the timer button k2 again, LED5 / 1H will light up, and LED7 will turn off, and so on. After the power is on, k2 and k3 can be adjusted in any order.

[0076] Finally, when the power switch button K1 is pressed and held, the panel will enter child lock mode. The buzzer will sound a long beep for 1 second, and LED8 will light up, indicating that the child lock is activated. The panel will then enter self-locking mode. When the power switch button K1 is pressed and held for 3 seconds, the child lock will be released, and the panel functions will return to normal.

[0077] Furthermore, the storage component 90 includes a storage roll 5 and a roll fixing post 4. Both ends of the roll fixing post 4 are inserted into the silicone lower mold 3, serving to fix and support the storage roll 5. One end of the storage roll 5 is set on the roll fixing post 4 and can be fastened to the fixing post 4 with a buckle. The other end of the storage roll 5 is provided with a Velcro 50, which is used to fix the storage roll 5 to the surface of the silicone lower mold 3. In use, the user can easily tear off the Velcro 50 to unfold the storage roll 5, making it convenient and quick to use. The storage roll 5 is located in the middle of the silicone lower mold 3. Positioning the storage roll in the middle makes the food warming board more balanced when stored, avoiding center of gravity shift due to improper roll position. Aesthetically, the middle setting allows the storage roll to be hidden at the bottom of the silicone lower mold 3 when not in use, without affecting the overall appearance of the product, thus improving its aesthetics. This shows that the concealed storage roll design reduces the space occupied by the cutting board when storing it, making it more suitable for small kitchens or use scenarios with limited space. With the convenient design of Velcro 50 and the balanced setting of the storage roll, it is more convenient for users to store and use the cutting board, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0078] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0079] Flexible and bendable design: Made of flexible silicone material, the cutting board can be bent at will, making it easy to store and carry. It is especially suitable for small kitchens or scenarios that require frequent movement. The waterproof and oil-proof properties of silicone material, combined with the silicone mold with an oil-proof coating on the surface, significantly improve the product's durability and ease of cleaning.

[0080] Highly efficient heating system: The heating wires are arranged in a vertical S-shape with a spacing of 15-22mm to ensure uniform heat distribution and avoid local overheating or insufficient temperature. After multiple bends, there are no traces of heating wires on the surface, which improves the appearance quality and service life of the product.

[0081] Intelligent temperature control system: Integrating a thermostat and a thermistor, it ensures that the food warmer maintains a stable heat retention effect during use through high-precision temperature detection and intelligent control, while avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive temperature.

[0082] Optimized storage function: The storage roll is hidden at the bottom of the silicone part and is fixed to the surface of the silicone lower mold with Velcro. The clever design does not take up extra space and is easy to store and unfold.
