Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking appliances such as induction cookers and ceramic cooktops are widely used in daily life for cooking food. Ceramic cooktops have advantages such as high heating temperature and compatibility with various cookware, leading to their widespread use.

[0003] An electric ceramic cooktop consists of a heating element and a control panel. The heating element is located below the control panel and generates heat to heat cookware placed on the control panel. Because the surface temperature of the control panel is high when the electric ceramic cooktop is heating, if the cooktop is turned on before the cookware is placed on the control panel, it can easily lead to wasted electricity due to dry burning, and may even pose a safety hazard.

[0004] In related technologies, a weighing component is used to detect changes in gravity on a control panel, thereby identifying whether a pot or pan is on the panel. However, the accuracy of the weighing component decreases after prolonged use, which can easily lead to detection failure and pose a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a cooking appliance that can solve the safety hazard caused by the failure of the pot-free detection.

[0006] This application provides a cooking appliance, which includes:

[0007] case;

[0008] A panel is disposed on the housing, and an accommodating space is formed between the panel and the housing;

[0009] The detection mechanism is at least partially located within the receiving space. The detection mechanism includes a detection component and a trigger. The detection component is retractable relative to the panel. The trigger is located at the bottom of the housing. The detection component includes a detection end and a trigger end. The detection end can extend outside the panel for contact with the cookware. The trigger end is used to trigger the trigger.

[0010] When a pot is placed on the panel, the detection end retracts into the panel, and the trigger end is electrically connected to the trigger element; when the detection end extends out of the panel, the trigger end is disconnected from the trigger element.

[0011] The cooking appliance provided in this application has a detection component whose detection end can be used to contact the cookware. Therefore, when the detection component contacts the cookware, electrical continuity between the detection component and the trigger element indicates that cookware is placed on the panel. When no cookware is placed on the panel, the detection end of the detection component does not contact the cookware, thus eliminating electrical continuity between the detection component and the trigger element. Therefore, the detection component can directly contact the cookware; in other words, there is physical contact between the detection component and the cookware for detecting whether cookware is placed on the panel, resulting in high detection accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, the detection mechanism has a simple structure and low cost.

[0012] Furthermore, the detection component and the trigger are in contact. When the detection component and the trigger are physically connected, it can be determined that a pot is placed on the panel. When the detection component and the trigger are not in contact, it can be determined that no pot is placed on the panel. This design minimizes the risk of malfunction or misjudgment and provides high detection accuracy.

[0013] Specifically, when a pot is placed on the panel, the pot exerts a downward force on the detection component under the influence of gravity. Since the detection component is retractable relative to the panel, it can move downward under the influence of the pot, allowing the trigger end of the detection component to connect with the trigger element located at the bottom of the housing, thus enabling electrical conductivity between the trigger element and the detection component.

[0014] When no cookware is placed on the panel or when the cookware is removed from the panel, the detection component is not subjected to a downward force. The detection end of the detection component can extend beyond the surface of the panel so that the trigger end of the detection component is not connected to the trigger element located at the bottom of the housing, thereby preventing electrical conduction between the trigger element and the detection component.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism includes a first elastic member, one end of which is connected to the detection component, and the other end of which is connected to the heating component of the cooking appliance. The first elastic member is used to support the detection component on the heating component.

[0016] The first elastic element is expandable and contractible along the thickness direction of the panel;

[0017] When the detection end retracts to the panel, the first elastic element is in a retracted state; the first elastic element is reset to drive the detection end to extend out of the panel.

[0018] When the cookware is placed on the panel, the first elastic element can be used to buffer the force exerted by the cookware on the detection component. Furthermore, the first elastic element can also be used to allow the detection component to automatically reset to the state where the detection end extends out of the panel when the cookware is removed from the panel, thereby facilitating subsequent detection of the cookware.

[0019] Specifically, when the cookware is placed on the panel, it exerts a downward force on the detection component. The first elastic element buffers this force, allowing the detection component to move downwards slowly. This prevents the detection component from generating a sudden impact force on the trigger element when the trigger end of the detection component connects to the trigger element, thus protecting both components and extending their lifespan. Furthermore, the buffering effect of the first elastic element also reduces the possibility of abnormal noise caused by a sudden impact force from the detection component on the trigger element when they come into contact.

[0020] When the cookware is placed on the panel, the first elastic element can undergo compressive deformation under the action of the cookware. The first elastic element can accumulate elastic potential energy, so that when the cookware is removed from the panel, the first elastic element can release the elastic potential energy, which can drive the detection component to move upward, and the detection end of the detection component can extend out of the panel.

[0021] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection component includes a detection rod and a trigger rod, the detection rod and the trigger rod are connected along the thickness direction of the panel, and the detection end and the trigger end are respectively located at the ends of the detection rod and the trigger rod that are far apart from each other;

[0022] The detection rod is at least partially conductive.

[0023] By making the detection rod and trigger rod at least partially conductive, electrical continuity is achieved between the detection component and the trigger when the cookware is placed on the panel and comes into contact with it. It is easy to understand that there is no electrical continuity between the detection component and the cookware at this time, ensuring safety during cooking.

[0024] According to one embodiment of this application, the trigger rod further includes a second elastic element, and the trigger end is located at the end of the second elastic element away from the detection rod for connection with the trigger element;

[0025] When the detection end is retracted to the panel, the second elastic element is connected to the trigger element, and the second elastic element is in a retracted state; when the detection end is extended from the panel, the second elastic element is disconnected from the trigger element, and the second elastic element is in a free state.

[0026] The second elastic element can buffer the force exerted by the contact between the detection component and the trigger element. When the second elastic element contacts the trigger element, the expansion and contraction of the second elastic element will prevent the force exerted by the detection component on the trigger element from being too large, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the detection component and the trigger element.

[0027] It is easy to understand that the second elastic element can be used to overcome machining and assembly tolerances, thereby reducing machining difficulty and thus reducing machining and assembly costs.

[0028] Furthermore, during the contact between the second elastic element and the trigger element, the second elastic element can undergo compressive deformation due to its elasticity. When the cookware is removed from the panel, the second elastic element can provide a driving force for the reset of the detection component. The second elastic element can release its elastic potential energy to drive the detection component to move upward, thereby allowing the detection end to extend beyond the upper surface of the panel.

[0029] Specifically, the trigger rod can be connected to the trigger element via a second elastic element. When the cookware is placed on the panel, the detection rod and the trigger rod can move downwards synchronously, allowing the free end of the second elastic element to connect with the trigger element, thus electrically connecting the detection component and the trigger element. When the cookware is removed from the panel, the first detection rod and the trigger rod can move upwards under the reset action of the first elastic element. At this time, the free end of the second elastic element can gradually move upwards until it leaves the trigger element, thus disconnecting the detection component from the trigger element.

[0030] According to one embodiment of this application, the trigger rod includes a second elastic element located at the end of the trigger rod facing the detection rod, and the trigger rod is elastically connected to the detection rod through the second elastic element;

[0031] When the detection end is retracted to the panel, the trigger rod is directly connected to the trigger member, and the second elastic member is in a retracted state; when the detection end is extended from the panel, the trigger rod is disconnected from the trigger member, and the second elastic member is extended relative to the retracted state.

[0032] The second elastic element can be used to buffer the force of the trigger rod retracting towards the panel, so that when the trigger rod is connected to the trigger element, it can slowly retract towards the panel. Furthermore, the second elastic element can also have a resetting function, so that when the cookware is removed from the panel and the detection rod moves upward, the second elastic element allows the trigger end of the trigger rod to extend beyond the lower end face of the detection rod.

[0033] Specifically, during the placement of the cookware on the panel, the detection rod moves downwards. Before the trigger rod connects with the trigger element, the detection rod and the trigger rod move downwards synchronously. The second elastic element does not undergo elastic deformation. When the trigger rod connects with the trigger element, the second elastic element can undergo compressive deformation, allowing the trigger rod to contract towards the panel, so that contact between the trigger rod and the trigger element does not affect the continued downward movement of the detection rod. During this process, the detection rod and the trigger rod can move relative to each other until the detection end contracts against the panel.

[0034] When the cookware is removed from the panel, the detection end is no longer subjected to a downward force. The first elastic element can release its elastic potential energy, causing the detection rod to return to its original position upwards, and the trigger rod gradually moves away from the trigger element. At this time, the detection rod can release its force on the second elastic element, causing the second elastic element to release its elastic potential energy. Under its own weight and the action of the second elastic element, the trigger rod's trigger end can extend downwards a certain distance, so that when the detection assembly moves downwards, the trigger end of the trigger rod can contact the trigger element first.

[0035] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism further includes a first fixing member, one end of which is connected to the panel, and the other end of which can be inserted into and connected to the heating component of the cooking appliance, and the first fixing member forms a first space through which the detection component can be inserted.

[0036] The first fastener can be fixed to the panel and heating assembly, and the detection mechanism can also be secured via the first fastener. The first fastener maintains the stability of the detection assembly's movement. The first space formed by the first fastener provides the detection assembly with a retractable movement space.

[0037] In addition, the first fixing member can also have a heat insulation effect. The first fixing member can block the heat generated by the heating component from entering the first space, which helps to reduce the impact of the heat from the heating component on the structure within the first space and helps to improve the service life of the detection component.

[0038] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism further includes an elastic seal, which is sleeved on the outside of the detection rod and sealed to the detection rod, and the elastic seal is located in the first space;

[0039] At least a portion of the resilient seal is located between the first fastener and the panel to seal the first fastener and the panel.

[0040] Because the detection component is retractable relative to the panel, the detection rod and the panel are clearance-fitted. An elastic seal connects the detection rod to the panel, and this elastic seal also seals the first fixing component and the panel. When liquid on the panel flows into the housing through the gap between the detection rod and the panel, the elastic seal can prevent the liquid from flowing downwards to the heating component, triggering component, and other internal structures, thus reducing the possibility of the liquid affecting the working performance and service life of the internal structures.

[0041] It should be noted that the elastic seal is elastic. The elastic seal can function to reset the detection component. When the detection component moves downwards under the action of the cookware, the elastic seal can undergo elastic deformation. When the cookware is removed, the elastic seal can reset the detection component. The detection end can extend beyond the panel.

[0042] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism further includes a second fixing member, which is fixedly connected to the end of the first fixing member away from the panel; one end of the first elastic member moves synchronously with the detection rod, and the other end of the first elastic member abuts against the second fixing member.

[0043] Along the thickness direction of the panel, one end of the first fixing member is connected to the panel, and the other end of the first fixing member is connected to the second fixing member. Since one end of the first elastic member moves synchronously with the detection rod, when the detection component moves downward under the action of the pot, the second fixing member can provide support for the first elastic member.

[0044] Specifically, when the detection component moves downward under the action of the cookware, the upper end of the first elastic element can move downward synchronously with the detection rod. The second fixing element is relatively fixed, which can keep the lower end of the first elastic element fixed, so that the first elastic element can undergo compressive deformation within the first space.

[0045] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism further includes a connecting pin, and the trigger rod and the detection rod are connected by the connecting pin; when the detection end extends out of the panel, the connecting pin abuts against the second fixing member.

[0046] The connecting pin can be used to fix the detection rod and the trigger rod together, so that the detection rod and the trigger rod can move synchronously. Furthermore, when the detection end extends out of the panel, the connecting rod abuts against the second fixing member, which can limit the height of the detection end extending out of the panel, ensuring that the height of the detection end extending out of the panel remains consistent when the detection assembly resets, thus improving the detection accuracy of the cookware.

[0047] Specifically, by abutting against the second fixing member with the connecting rod, the excessive height of the detection component extending from the panel under the elastic action of the first and / or second elastic members can be reduced. This would prevent the detection component from extending too far out of the panel when the cookware is placed on the panel, potentially affecting the detection effect. Furthermore, when the detection end extends too far out of the panel, the user needs to apply a certain force to allow the detection component to move downwards when placing the cookware on the panel. This also negatively impacts the stability of the cookware placed on the panel.

[0048] According to one embodiment of this application, the trigger end of the trigger rod is used to be directly connected to the trigger element. Along the thickness direction of the panel, the trigger rod is slidably connected to the detection rod so that when the trigger rod is connected to the trigger element, the trigger rod can retract towards the panel.

[0049] When the trigger rod is connected to the trigger element, by setting the trigger rod to be slidably connected to the detection rod, the trigger rod can be retracted towards the panel to reduce the possibility that the detection end of the detection rod will still protrude from the panel when the trigger rod contacts the trigger element, which may affect the stability of the cookware placed on the panel.

[0050] Specifically, when the cookware is placed on the panel to apply a downward force to the detection component, the detection component moves downward. The trigger end of the trigger rod can directly contact the trigger element. Since the detection rod, trigger rod, and trigger element are all rigid structures, and there are installation tolerances during the installation of the detection mechanism, jamming can easily occur after the trigger rod contacts the trigger element. Therefore, by slidably connecting the trigger rod to the detection rod, the trigger rod can retract a certain distance towards the panel when connected to the trigger element, so that the detection end can retract into the panel.

[0051] According to one embodiment of this application, the detection mechanism further includes a second fixing member, which is connected to the side of the detection rod away from the detection end. The trigger rod can be inserted through the second fixing member, and the second fixing member moves synchronously with the detection rod.

[0052] The second fixing member can provide support for the trigger member, so that the length of the trigger end extending from the detection rod can be kept consistent, and the length of the trigger end extending from the lower end of the detection rod cannot be too large.

[0082] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0083] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. Clearly, the described embodiments are only a portion, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0084] Common cooking appliances include induction cookers and ceramic cooktops, which are commonly used heating devices that can be used with cookware. Taking a ceramic cooktop as an example, a ceramic cooktop includes a heating element and a control panel. The heating element is located below the control panel, and the heat generated by the heating element heats the cookware placed on the control panel.

[0085] Because the surface temperature of an electric ceramic cooktop can reach approximately 600℃ when heated, starting the cooktop before placing any cookware on it can easily lead to wasted electricity and even safety hazards. Related technologies use a weighing component to detect changes in gravity on the cooktop, thus identifying the presence of cookware. However, the accuracy of this weighing component decreases over time, potentially causing detection failure and posing a safety risk. Furthermore, the high cost of weighing components makes them unsuitable for the market.

[0086] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, the applicant has improved the structure of existing cooking appliances. In this embodiment, the detection component is retractable to the panel. When a pot is placed on the panel, the detection component retracts into the panel under the weight of the pot. The detection component moves downward to connect the trigger end with the trigger element, thereby enabling electrical conductivity between the detection component and the trigger element. When no pot is placed on the panel or the pot is removed from the panel, the detection component extends out of the panel, disconnecting the trigger end from the trigger element, thus preventing electrical conductivity between the detection component and the trigger element. Therefore, through direct contact between the pot and the detection component, the presence or absence of a pot on the panel can be detected with high accuracy and reliability.

[0087] The cooking appliance 100 provided in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0088] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cooking appliance 100 of this application embodiment includes a housing 110, a panel 120, and a detection mechanism 130.

[0089] Panel 120 can be fitted onto housing 110. A receiving space is formed between panel 120 and housing 110. Detection mechanism 130 can be at least partially located within the receiving space. Detection mechanism 130 includes a detection component 131 and a trigger 132. Detection component 131 is retractable relative to panel 120. Trigger 132 is located at the bottom of housing 110. Detection component 131 includes a detection end 131a and a trigger end 131b. Detection end 131a can extend outside panel 120 for contact with cookware 200, and trigger end 131b is used to trigger trigger 132.

[0090] When the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the detection end 131a retracts into the panel 120, and the trigger end 131b is electrically connected to the trigger element 132. When the detection end 131a extends out of the panel 120, the trigger end 131b is disconnected from the trigger element 132.

[0091] In this embodiment, the detection end 131a of the detection component 131 can be used to contact the cookware 200. Therefore, when the detection component 131 contacts the cookware 200, the electrical connection between the detection component 131 and the trigger 132 indicates that the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120. When no cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the detection end 131a of the detection component 131 does not contact the cookware 200, so that there is no electrical connection between the detection component 131 and the trigger 132. Therefore, the detection component 131 can directly contact the cookware 200; in other words, the detection component 131 has physical contact with the cookware 200 to detect whether a cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, which can have high detection accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, the detection mechanism 130 has a simple structure and low cost.

[0092] Furthermore, the detection component 131 and the trigger element 132 are also in contact. When the detection component 131 and the trigger element 132 are physically connected, it can be determined that a pot 200 is placed on the panel 120. When the detection component 131 and the trigger element 132 are not in contact, it can be determined that no pot 200 is placed on the panel 120. This method is less prone to malfunctions or misjudgments and has high detection accuracy.

[0093] Specifically, when a pot 200 is placed on the panel 120, the pot 200 can exert a downward force on the detection component 131 under the action of gravity. Since the detection component 131 is retractable relative to the panel 120, the detection component 131 can move downward under the action of the pot 200, so that the trigger end 131b of the detection component 131 is connected to the trigger member 132 located at the bottom of the housing 110, thereby enabling electrical conduction between the trigger member 132 and the detection component 131.

[0094] When no cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120 or when the cookware 200 is removed from the panel 120, the detection component 131 is not subjected to a downward force. The detection end 131a of the detection component 131 can extend beyond the surface of the panel 120 so that the trigger end 131b of the detection component 131 is not connected to the trigger member 132 located at the bottom of the housing 110, thereby preventing electrical conduction between the trigger member 132 and the detection component 131.

[0095] It is easy to understand that whether or not there is electrical continuity between the trigger 132 and the detection component 131 will produce different signal indications. For example, when there is electrical continuity between the trigger 132 and the detection component 131, the controller can detect this connection signal to issue a heating instruction to the cooking appliance 100. When there is no electrical continuity between the trigger 132 and the detection component 131, the controller can detect this disconnection signal to issue a stop heating instruction to the cooking appliance 100 to avoid the pot 200 dry-burning and causing a safety hazard.

[0096] In some examples, when no cookware 200 is placed on panel 120, the cooking appliance 100 can be in its initial state. The cooking appliance 100 does not activate its heating function. At this time, the detection end 131a can remain extended beyond panel 120. When cookware 200 is placed on panel 120, the cooking appliance 100 can be in a heating state. The cooking appliance 100 can activate its heating function. At this time, the detection end 131a can remain within the upper surface of panel 120 to avoid affecting the stability of the cookware 200 placed on panel 120. When the cookware 200 is removed, the detection end 131a can return to its extended state beyond panel 120.

[0097] In some examples, the detection mechanism 130 may be located in the middle area of ​​the panel 120. For example, the detection mechanism 130 may be located in the middle area of ​​the corresponding heating area on the panel 120.

[0098] In some examples, the detection component 131 can extend or retract relative to the panel 120 along the thickness direction X. When the cooking appliance 100 is placed on a horizontal workbench, the thickness direction X of the panel 120 can refer to the vertical direction. When the pot 200 is placed on the panel 120, the direction of the force exerted by the pot 200 on the detection component 131 can be vertically downward.

[0099] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 of this embodiment includes a first elastic member 133. One end of the first elastic member 133 is connected to the detection component 131. The other end of the first elastic member 133 is connected to the heating component 140 of the cooking appliance 100. The first elastic member 133 is used to support the detection component 131 on the heating component 140.

[0100] The first elastic element 133 is extendable and retractable along the thickness direction X of the panel 120. When the detection end 131a is retracted within the panel 120, the first elastic element 133 is in a retracted state. The first elastic element 133 resets to drive the detection end 131a to extend beyond the panel 120.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the first elastic member 133 can be used to buffer the force exerted by the cookware 200 on the detection component 131. Furthermore, the first elastic member 133 can also be used to automatically reset the detection component 131 to the state where the detection end 131a extends out of the panel 120 when the cookware 200 is removed from the panel 120, thereby facilitating subsequent detection of the cookware 200.

[0102] Specifically, when the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the cookware 200 applies a downward force to the detection component 131. The first elastic member 133 can buffer the force of the cookware 200, allowing the detection component 131 to slowly move downward. Therefore, when the trigger end 131b of the detection component 131 connects to the trigger member 132, the detection component 131 is less likely to generate a momentary impact force on the trigger member 132, which helps protect both the detection component 131 and the trigger member 132 and improves their service life. Furthermore, the buffering effect of the first elastic member 133 also reduces the possibility of abnormal noise caused by the momentary impact force of the detection component 131 on the trigger member 132 when they come into contact.

[0103] When the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the first elastic element 133 can undergo compressive deformation under the action of the cookware 200. The first elastic element 133 can accumulate elastic potential energy so that when the cookware 200 is removed from the panel 120, the first elastic element 133 can release the elastic potential energy, and the first elastic element 133 can drive the detection component 131 to move upward. The detection end 131a of the detection component 131 can extend out of the panel 120.

[0104] In some examples, the first elastic element 133 is sleeved on the outside of the detection rod 1311. The first elastic element 133 may be, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0105] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the detection component 131 of this embodiment includes a detection rod 1311 and a trigger rod 1312. The detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 are connected along the thickness direction X of the panel 120. The detection end 131a and the trigger end 131b are located at the ends of the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 that are far apart from each other, respectively. The trigger rod 1312 is at least partially conductive.

[0106] In this embodiment, by providing at least a partial conductive element to the trigger rod 1312, electrical conductivity is achieved between the detection component 131 and the trigger element 132 when the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120 and comes into contact with the detection component 131. It is easily understood that electrical conductivity may not occur between the detection component 131 and the cookware 200 at this time, thus ensuring safety during cooking.

[0107] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the trigger rod 1312 in this embodiment includes a second elastic member 136. The trigger end 131b is located at the end of the second elastic member 136 away from the detection rod 1311, for electrical connection with the trigger member 132.

[0108] When the detection end 131a is retracted to the panel 120, the second elastic element 136 is connected to the trigger element 132, and the second elastic element 136 is in a retracted state. When the detection end 131a is extended out of the panel 120, the second elastic element 136 is disconnected from the trigger element 132, and the second elastic element 136 is in a free state.

[0109] In this embodiment, the second elastic member 136 can buffer the force of the contact between the detection component 131 and the trigger member 132. When the second elastic member 136 contacts the trigger member 132, the force exerted by the detection component 131 on the trigger member 132 will not be too large due to the extension and contraction of the second elastic member 136, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the detection component 131 and the trigger member 132.

[0110] It is easy to understand that the second elastic element 136 can be used to overcome machining and assembly tolerances, thereby reducing machining difficulty and thus reducing machining and assembly costs.

[0111] Furthermore, during the contact between the second elastic element 136 and the trigger element 132, the second elastic element 136 can undergo compressive deformation due to its elasticity. When the cookware 200 removes the panel 120, the second elastic element 136 can provide a driving force for the reset of the detection component 131. The second elastic element 136 can release its elastic potential energy to drive the detection component 131 to move upward, thereby allowing the detection end 131a to extend beyond the upper surface of the panel 120.

[0112] Specifically, the trigger rod 1312 can be connected to the trigger member 132 via the second elastic member 136. When the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120, the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can move downwards synchronously, so that the free end of the second elastic member 136 can connect with the trigger member 132, thereby making the detection component 131 electrically connected to the trigger member 132. When the cookware 200 is removed from the panel 120, the first detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can move upwards under the reset action of the first elastic member 133. At this time, the free end of the second elastic member 136 can gradually move upwards until it leaves the trigger member 132, thereby disconnecting the detection component 131 from the trigger member 132.

[0113] In some examples, the second elastic element 136 is part of the trigger rod 1312. The second elastic element 136 may be made of metal so that when the second elastic element 136 is connected to the trigger element 132, the detection assembly 131 and the trigger element 132 are electrically connected.

[0114] It should be noted that when the detection rod 1311 is made of metal, the metal material can provide better strength, reducing the possibility of deformation or wear when subjected to the cookware 200, which could affect the accuracy of detecting the cookware 200. In this case, the portion of the trigger rod 1312, except for the second elastic element 136, can be made of insulating material, so that the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can be insulated from each other. This ensures that there is no electrical conductivity between the detection assembly 131 and the cookware 200, guaranteeing safety during cooking.

[0115] In some examples, one of the second elastic element 136 and the trigger element 132 can be connected to the controller via a wiring harness, and the other of the second elastic element 136 and the trigger element 132 can be grounded via a wiring harness. When the second elastic element 136 is connected to the trigger element 132, the detection component 131 can be electrically connected to the controller via the trigger element 132.

[0116] In other possible implementations, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the trigger lever 1312 also includes a second elastic element 136. The second elastic element 136 is located at the end of the trigger lever 1312 facing the detection lever 1311. The trigger lever 1312 is elastically connected to the detection lever 1311 through the second elastic element 136.

[0117] When the detection end 131a is retracted to the panel 120, the trigger rod 1312 is directly connected to the trigger member 132. The second elastic member 136 is in the retracted state. When the detection end 131a extends out of the panel 120, the trigger rod 1312 is disconnected from the trigger member 132. The second elastic member 136 extends relative to the retracted state.

[0118] In this embodiment, the second elastic member 136 can be used to buffer the force of the trigger rod 1312 contracting towards the panel 120, so that when the trigger rod 1312 is connected to the trigger member 132, the trigger rod 1312 can slowly contract towards the panel 120. Furthermore, the second elastic member 136 can also have a resetting function, so that when the cookware 200 moves away from the panel 120 and the detection rod 1311 moves upward, the second elastic member 136 allows the trigger end 131b of the trigger rod 1312 to extend beyond the lower end face of the detection rod 1311.

[0119] Specifically, during the process of placing the cookware 200 on the panel 120, the detection rod 1311 moves downward. Before the trigger rod 1312 connects with the trigger member 132, the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 move downward synchronously. The second elastic member 136 does not undergo elastic deformation. When the trigger rod 1312 connects with the trigger member 132, the second elastic member 136 can undergo compressive deformation, allowing the trigger rod 1312 to contract towards the panel 120, so that contact between the trigger rod 1312 and the trigger member 132 will not affect the continued downward movement of the detection rod 1311. During this process, the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can move relative to each other until the detection end 131a contracts at the panel 120.

[0120] When the cookware 200 removes the panel 120, the detection end 131a is no longer subjected to a downward force, and the first elastic element 133 can release its elastic potential energy, causing the detection rod 1311 to return to its upward position, and the trigger rod 1312 to gradually move away from the trigger element 132. At this time, the detection rod 1311 can release its force on the second elastic element 136, causing the second elastic element 136 to release its elastic potential energy. Under its own weight and the action of the second elastic element 136, the trigger rod 1312 can extend its trigger end 131b downward a certain distance, so that when the detection assembly 131 moves downward, the trigger end 131b of the trigger rod 1312 can first contact the trigger element 132.

[0121] In some examples, the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a second space 1311c for the trigger rod 1312 to slide. The second elastic member 136 may undergo elastic deformation within the second space 1311c. The upper end of the second elastic member 136 may abut against the inner wall of the second space 1311c facing the trigger member 132.

[0122] In some examples, the trigger rod 1312 may be provided with an annular protrusion 1312a. The lower end of the second elastic element 136 may abut against the annular protrusion 1312a.

[0123] The trigger rod 1312 can be directly connected to the trigger element 132. The trigger rod 1312 can be conductive. In this case, the detection rod 1311 can be made of an insulating material to prevent electrical continuity between the cookware 200, the detection component 131, and the trigger element 132.

[0124] When the detection rod 1311 is made of an insulating material (e.g., plastic), the detection end 131a of the detection rod 1311 that contacts the cookware 200 can be provided with a metal cover 139. The metal cover 139 can protect the detection end 131a of the detection rod 1311, thereby increasing the strength at the detection end 131a and reducing the possibility that the detection rod 1311 will deform or wear under the action of the cookware 200, thus affecting the accuracy of detecting the cookware 200. In some possible implementations, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 in this embodiment further includes a first fixing member 134. One end of the first fixing member 134 is connected to the panel 120. The other end of the first fixing member 134 can be inserted into and connected to the heating component 140 of the cooking appliance 100. The first fixing member 134 forms a first space 134a through which the detection component 131 can pass.

[0125] In this embodiment, the first fixing member 134 can be fixed to the panel 120 and the heating component 140. The detection mechanism 130 can be fixed by the first fixing member 134. The first fixing member 134 can maintain the movement stability of the detection component 131. The first space 134a formed by the first fixing member 134 can provide a retractable movement space for the detection component 131.

[0126] In addition, the first fixing member 134 can also have a heat insulation effect. The first fixing member 134 can block the heat generated by the heating component 140 from the first space 134a, which helps to reduce the impact of the heat of the heating component 140 on the structure inside the first space 134a and helps to improve the service life of the detection component 131.

[0127] In some examples, the heating assembly 140 may include a heating element 141 and a heat insulation assembly 142. The heat insulation assembly 142 covers the outer periphery and bottom of the heating element 141 to prevent the heat generated by the heating element 141 from easily diffusing outwards and downwards, so that the heat generated by the heating element 141 can be concentrated more towards the panel 120 to reduce heat loss and improve the heating efficiency of the cookware 200 on the panel 120.

[0128] The heat insulation assembly 142 may include a connected heat insulation pad 1421 and a support pad 1422. The heat insulation pad 1421 may be located between the heating element 141 and the support pad 1422. The heat insulation pad 1421 has a good heat insulation effect. The support pad 1422 can be used to improve the overall strength of the heat insulation assembly 142.

[0129] In some examples, the first fastener 134 may pass through the heating element 141 and the heat insulation pad 1421, and the lower end face of the first fastener 134 may abut against the upper end face of the support pad 1422. The support pad 1422 may have a supporting and abutting function for the first fastener 134 to maintain the connection stability between the first fastener 134 and the heating assembly 140.

[0130] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 in this embodiment further includes an elastic seal 135. The elastic seal 135 is sleeved on the outside of the detection rod 1311 and is sealed to the detection rod 1311. The elastic seal 135 is located in the first space 134a. At least a portion of the elastic seal 135 is located between the first fixing member 134 and the panel 120 to seal the first fixing member 134 and the panel 120.

[0131] In this embodiment, the detection component 131 is retractable relative to the panel 120, therefore, the detection rod 1311 and the panel 120 are in clearance fit. The detection rod 1311 is sealed to the elastic seal 135, which also seals the first fixing member 134 and the panel 120. When liquid on the panel 120 flows into the housing 110 through the gap between the detection rod 1311 and the panel 120, the elastic seal 135 can block the liquid, reducing the possibility of the liquid flowing downwards to the heating component 140, trigger member 132, and other internal structures, thus affecting the working performance and service life of the internal structures.

[0132] In some examples, the resilient seal 135 may be fitted over the outside of the detection rod 1311 and interference-fitted with the outer surface of the detection rod 1311 to achieve a sealed connection with the detection rod 1311. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a first slot 1311a, and the elastic seal 135 may be interference-fitted with the wall of the first slot 1311a.

[0133] See in some examples Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the outer edge of the elastic seal 135 may have a downward-facing opening 135a. The upper end of the first fixing member 134 may be inserted into the opening 135a of the elastic seal 135. The first fixing member 134 can press the elastic seal 135 onto the panel 120 and the heating assembly 140 to improve the sealing effect between the first fixing member 134 and the panel 120.

[0134] It is easy to understand that when liquid enters the housing 110 through the gap between the detection rod 1311 and the panel 120, the liquid can remain in the space between the elastic seal 135 and the panel 120. The liquid is less likely to flow downwards, thus protecting the components below.

[0135] It should be noted that the elastic seal 135 is elastic. The elastic seal 135 can function to reset the detection component 131. When the detection component 131 moves downward under the action of the cookware 200, the elastic seal 135 can undergo elastic deformation. When the cookware 200 is removed, the elastic seal 135 can reset the detection component 131. The detection end 131a can extend out of the panel 120.

[0136] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 also includes a second fixing member 138. The second fixing member 138 is fixedly connected to the end of the first fixing member 134 away from the panel 120. One end of the first elastic member 133 moves synchronously with the detection rod 1311. The other end of the first elastic member 133 abuts against the second fixing member 138.

[0137] In this embodiment, along the thickness direction X of the panel 120, one end of the first fixing member 134 is connected to the panel 120, and the other end of the first fixing member 134 is connected to the second fixing member 138. Since one end of the first elastic member 133 moves synchronously with the detection rod 1311, when the detection component 131 moves downward under the action of the cookware 200, the second fixing member 138 can provide support for the first elastic member 133.

[0138] Specifically, when the detection component 131 moves downward under the action of the cookware 200, the upper end of the first elastic member 133 can move downward synchronously with the detection rod 1311. The second fixing member 138 is relatively fixed, and the second fixing member 138 can keep the lower end of the first elastic member 133 fixed, so that the first elastic member 133 can generate compression deformation within the first space 134a.

[0139] In some examples, the detection mechanism 130 may further include a retaining spring 1372 and a washer 1373. The washer 1373 may be fixed to the detection rod 1311 by the retaining spring 1372. The upper end of the first elastic member 133 may abut against the washer 1373. Exemplarily, the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a second retaining groove 1311b, into which the retaining spring 1372 engages.

[0140] In some examples, the first fastener 134 and the second fastener 138 can be detachably connected. The first fastener 134 and the second fastener 138 can be connected by, but are not limited to, threaded connections, fastener locking, etc.

[0141] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 in this embodiment may further include a connecting pin 1371. The trigger rod 1312 and the detection rod 1311 are connected by the connecting pin 1371. When the detection end 131a extends out of the panel 120, the connecting pin 1371 abuts against the second fixing member 138.

[0142] In this embodiment, the connecting pin 1371 can be used to fix the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 together, so that the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can move synchronously. Furthermore, when the detection end 131a extends out of the panel 120, it abuts against the second fixing member 138 through the connecting rod, which can limit the height of the detection end 131a extending out of the panel 120, so that the height of the detection end 131a extending out of the panel 120 can remain consistent when the detection assembly 131 is reset, which is beneficial to improving the detection accuracy of the cookware 200.

[0143] Specifically, by abutting against the second fixing member 138 via the connecting rod, the height of the detection component 131 extending beyond the panel 120 under the elastic action of the first elastic member 133 and / or the second elastic member 136 can be reduced. This would prevent the detection component 131 from extending too far beyond the panel 120, increasing the downward movement path of the cookware 200 when it is placed on the panel 120, thus affecting the detection effect on the cookware 200. Furthermore, when the detection end 131a extends too far beyond the panel 120, the user needs to apply a certain force to allow the detection component 131 to move downward when placing the cookware 200 on the panel 120. This also negatively impacts the stability of the cookware 200 when placed on the panel 120.

[0144] See in some examples Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 can each be provided with corresponding positioning holes 1311d. The axis of the positioning hole 1311d can be perpendicular to the vertical direction. The connecting pin 1371 can pass through the positioning holes 1311d on the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 respectively. The connecting pin 1371 allows the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 to move synchronously upward or downward, and the detection rod 1311 and the trigger rod 1312 are not prone to relative rotation.

[0145] See in some examples Figure 5 As shown, the lower end face of the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a second space 1311c. Part of the trigger rod 1312 may be located in the second space 1311c, and the trigger end 131b of the trigger rod 1312 may extend out of the lower end of the detection rod 1311.

[0146] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the trigger end 131b of the trigger rod 1312 is used to be directly connected to the trigger member 132. Along the thickness direction X of the panel 120, the trigger rod 1312 is slidably connected to the detection rod 1311 so that when the trigger rod 1312 is connected to the trigger member 132, the trigger rod 1312 can retract towards the panel 120.

[0147] In this embodiment, when the trigger rod 1312 is connected to the trigger member 132, by setting the trigger rod 1312 to be slidably connected to the detection rod 1311, the trigger rod 1312 can be retracted towards the panel 120, so as to reduce the possibility that when the trigger rod 1312 contacts the trigger member 132, the detection end 131a of the detection rod 1311 will still extend out of the panel 120, which may affect the stability of the cookware 200 placed on the panel 120.

[0148] Specifically, when the cookware 200 is placed on the panel 120 to apply a downward force to the detection component 131, the detection component 131 moves downward. The trigger end 131b of the trigger rod 1312 can directly contact the trigger element 132. Since the detection rod 1311, the trigger rod 1312, and the trigger element 132 are all rigid structures, and there are installation tolerances during the installation of the detection mechanism 130, it is easy for the trigger rod 1312 to jam after contacting the trigger element 132. Therefore, the trigger rod 1312 is slidably connected to the detection rod 1311. When the trigger rod 1312 is connected to the trigger element 132, the trigger rod 1312 can retract a certain distance towards the panel 120 so that the detection end 131a can retract into the panel 120.

[0149] In some examples, the trigger rod 1312 may be conductive when it can be directly connected to the trigger element 132. The detection rod 1311 may be insulating. The detection end 131a of the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a metal cover 139.

[0150] In some examples, one of the trigger lever 1312 and the trigger element 132 can be connected to the controller via a wiring harness, and the other of the trigger lever 1312 and the trigger element 132 can be grounded via a wiring harness. When the trigger lever 1312 is connected to the trigger element 132, the detection component 131 can be electrically connected to the controller through the trigger element 132.

[0151] In some examples, the detection rod 1311 may be provided with a flange structure 1311e. The upper end of the first elastic member 133 may abut against the flange structure 1311e. The lower end of the first elastic member 133 may abut against the support pad 1422. The support pad 1422 may support the lower end of the first elastic member 133. When the detection rod 1311 moves downward, the flange structure 1311e moves downward simultaneously and approaches the support pad 1422, causing the first elastic member 133 to undergo compressive deformation.

[0152] In some feasible implementations, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the detection mechanism 130 also includes a second fixing member 138. The second fixing member 138 is connected to the side of the detection rod 1311 away from the detection end 131a. The trigger rod 1312 can be inserted through the second fixing member 138. The second fixing member 138 moves synchronously with the detection rod 1311.

[0153] In this embodiment of the application, the second fixing member 138 can provide support for the trigger member 132 so that the length of the trigger end 131b of the trigger member 132 extending out of the detection rod 1311 can be kept consistent, and the length of the trigger end 131b extending out of the lower end of the detection rod 1311 can not be too large.

[0154] In some examples, the annular protrusion 1312a on the trigger lever 1312 can overlap the second fastener 138.

[0155] In some examples, the second fastener 138 and the detection rod 1311 can be detachably connected. The connection between the second fastener 138 and the detection rod 1311 can be, but is not limited to, a threaded connection, a fastener lock, etc.
