Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking panel technology, specifically to a novel panel structure and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information related to this application to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application more thoroughly and accurately, and it is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Currently, the panels of induction cookers on the market are usually one-piece structures made of microcrystalline glass. For areas on the panel that need to display numbers or other information, the poor light transmittance of the microcrystalline glass means that the displayed content cannot be clearly seen from certain angles during actual use, which reduces the user experience.

[0004] To address this, some manufacturers have split the induction cooker panel into two panels, using a panel with higher light transmittance for areas requiring the display of numbers or other information, thus facilitating the display of different cooking information. The two panels are typically fixed together directly with glue. While this connection method is simple, it cannot guarantee the strength of the connection between the two panels, especially in environments with vibration or impact. Furthermore, direct contact between the two panels may cause mutual interference, leading to unreliable product use. Utility Model Content

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] See Figure 1-2This utility model provides a novel panel structure 1, including a first panel 11 and a second panel 12 arranged at intervals, and a connector 13 disposed between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 to connect them; wherein, the first panel 11 has a bearing area for placing cooking utensils on it and heating and cooking the food inside the cooking utensils; the second panel 12 has a control area for installing buttons, switches or other control elements, and light-emitting elements can also be installed on the second panel 12 to... It facilitates the display of different cooking information, such as power and gear. The connector 13 has an inverted T-shaped structure and includes a vertically arranged first vertical plate 131 and a horizontally arranged first horizontal plate 132 connected to the bottom of the first vertical plate 131. The connector 13 extends in the left and right direction and has a first groove 133 and a second groove 134 arranged at intervals. The first groove 133 is filled with colloid and is bonded and fixed to one side of the first panel 11. The second groove 134 is filled with colloid and is bonded and fixed to one side of the second panel 12.

[0044] The connection between the first vertical plate 131 and the first horizontal plate 132 is provided with a first groove 135 that connects to the first groove 133 and a second groove 136 that connects to the second groove 134. Both the first groove 135 and the second groove 136 are filled with colloid.

[0045] Therefore, by providing a connector 13, which has a first groove 133 and a second groove 134 that are respectively connected to and support the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, the connection between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 is improved. Furthermore, the connector 13 has a first groove 135 that connects to the first groove 133 and a second groove 136 that connects to the second groove 134 at the connection between the first vertical plate 131 and the first horizontal plate 132, thereby increasing the amount of adhesive stored inside the first groove 133 and the second groove 134, and further improving the bonding strength between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. In addition, the first vertical plate 131 on the connector 13 can separate the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 to avoid mutual interference, ensuring the stability and reliability of the product during use.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connector 13 is made of plastic material, which ensures that it can undergo a certain deformation during the bonding process, and avoids cracking or breaking caused by direct hard contact between the first panel 11 or the second panel 12 and the connector 13.

[0047] The first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are made of different materials, and the second panel 12 has a higher light transmittance than the first panel 11. Therefore, by using a panel structure composed of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, the panel material can be independently selected according to actual usage needs, effectively reducing costs while ensuring normal cooking. Furthermore, the higher light transmittance of the second panel 12 means that more light can pass through it. Since the second panel 12 is usually located closer to the user or observer, the higher light transmittance improves the visual effect, allowing the user to see the elements inside or below the panel more clearly. At the same time, by utilizing the high light transmittance of the second panel 12, lower-cost display components can be placed below it, thereby achieving overall cost reduction.

[0048] Preferably, the first panel 11 is a microcrystalline glass plate, and the second panel 12 is a tempered glass plate. Microcrystalline glass has excellent high-temperature resistance, which is crucial for applications operating in high-temperature environments, such as the panel on an induction cooker that supports cooking utensils. Meanwhile, tempered glass is known for its high hardness, providing excellent scratch and impact resistance. Furthermore, its high light transmittance allows for the installation of lower-power light-emitting devices while keeping other components unchanged, thus achieving the same effect at a lower cost.

[0049] See also Figure 1 The novel panel structure 1 also includes several support bars disposed at the bottom of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 and used for connection with the bottom shell 2. The several support bars include two first support bars 14 arranged at intervals from left to right and two second support bars 15 arranged at intervals from front to back. Both first support bars 14 are connected to the bottom of the first horizontal plate 132. The second support bar 15 located on the front side is connected to the bottom of the first panel 11, and the second support bar 15 located on the rear side is connected to the bottom of the second panel 12.

[0050] Specifically, both the first support bar 14 and the second support bar 15 are inverted L-shaped structures and include a horizontally arranged second horizontal plate and a vertically arranged second vertical plate connected to the second horizontal plate. The second horizontal plate in the first support bar 14 is connected to the bottom of the first horizontal plate 132, and the second vertical plate in the first support bar 14 is used to connect to the bottom shell 2. The second horizontal plate in the second support bar 15 located on the front side is connected to the bottom of the first panel 11, and the second vertical plate in the second support bar 15 located on the front side is connected to the bottom shell 2. The second horizontal plate in the second support bar 15 located on the rear side is connected to the bottom of the second panel 12, and the second vertical plate in the second support bar 15 located on the rear side is connected to the bottom shell 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second horizontal plate of the first support bar 14 and the second support bar 15 is connected to the bottom of the first horizontal plate 132, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 by adhesive; the second vertical plate of the first support bar 14 and the second support bar 15 is fixed to the bottom shell 2 by bolt connection.

[0052] Therefore, by setting several support bars at the bottom of the first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the connector 13, the support bars can not only improve the support strength of the panel structure, but also facilitate the connection and fixation of the panel structure with the bottom shell 2, achieving two goals at once.

[0053] In this embodiment, both the first support bar 14 and the second support bar 15 are made of aluminum, which can further improve their support strength.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] See Figure 3 The difference between the novel panel structure in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 lies in the different positions of its support bars. In this embodiment, the two first support bars 14 are located on the left and right outer sides of the connector 13 and are respectively connected to the bottom of the first panel 11 and the bottom of the second panel 12. This arrangement can ensure an increase in the contact area between the first support bar 14 and the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, thereby better supporting the panel structure and further improving its support.

[0056] The second horizontal plate in the first support bar 14 is connected to the bottom of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, and the second vertical plate in the first support bar 14 is connected to the bottom shell 2.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] See Figure 4-5 The present invention also provides a cooking device, including the novel panel structure 1 of the above embodiment 2 and the bottom shell 2 disposed at the lower part of the novel panel structure 1. The novel panel structure 1 is detachably connected to the bottom shell 2 by means of a support strip.

[0059] The cooking equipment includes, but is not limited to, induction cookers, ceramic cookers, rice cookers, and other devices that require the temperature of the support plate to be measured.

[0060] Specifically, the cooking device also includes several heating coils 3, a control button panel 4, and a circuit board 5 disposed within the bottom shell 2. The heating coils 3 and the control button panel 4 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The heating coils 3 are correspondingly arranged with the bearing area of ​​the first panel 11, thereby heating the cooking device placed on the first panel 11. The control button panel 4 is correspondingly arranged with the control area of ​​the second panel 12, thereby protecting it. Simultaneously, the parts that need to be displayed on the control button panel 4 can be displayed through the second panel 12. Furthermore, when the second panel 12 is made of tempered glass, an LED panel can also be installed within the control button panel 4, allowing the user to clearly obtain the cooking status or other parameters through the second panel 12.

[0061] In summary, the novel panel structure and cooking device provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0062] (I) The novel panel structure 1 of this utility model, by setting a connector 13, has a first groove 133 and a second groove 134 that are respectively connected to and support the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, thereby improving the connection firmness between the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. In addition, the connector 13 has a first groove 135 that communicates with the first groove 133 and a second groove 136 that communicates with the second groove 134 at the connection between the first vertical plate 131 and the first horizontal plate 132, thereby increasing the amount of adhesive stored in the first groove 133 and the second groove 134, thereby further improving the bonding firmness of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. Furthermore, the first vertical plate 131 on the connector 13 can separate the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 to avoid mutual interference between them, ensuring the stability and reliability of the product during use.
