Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The appearance of cooking equipment can serve a decorative purpose, and it can also be related to the equipment's functions.

[0003] In related technologies, the appearance of cooking equipment can be changed by installing structures such as light strips and displays, and the appearance display can be associated with the working information of the cooking equipment, so that users can understand the working status of the cooking equipment by observing it.

[0004] However, the environment in which cooking equipment is located can also affect its operation. Currently, users cannot obtain feedback on environmental information from the cooking equipment, resulting in technical issues with the practicality and user experience of the cooking equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a cooking device.

[0007] In view of this, the cooking device provided by this utility model includes: a main body; a first display component disposed on the outer surface of the main body; a first sensor disposed on the main body and used to detect environmental information; and a controller connected to the first sensor and the first display component and used to control the operation of the first display component according to the environmental information.

[0008] In this technical solution, a cooking device is proposed, which includes a body, which is the main frame structure of the cooking device. The body can position and protect the working structure in the cooking device. The shape of the body corresponds to the shape of the cooking device, and the outer surface of the body is the appearance surface of the cooking device.

[0009] Based on this, the cooking device also includes a first display component, a first sensor, and a controller.

[0010] The first display component is disposed on the outer surface of the main body, and the first display component can change the appearance of the cooking device by changing the display color and the displayed pattern.

[0011] The first sensor is mounted on the main body and can detect environmental information of the environment in which the main body is located. This environmental information may include the brightness value of the environment, as well as the temperature value and humidity value of the environment.

[0012] The controller is housed within the main body and is electrically connected to the first sensor and the first display component via a control circuit. During operation, the controller can control the operation of the first display component based on environmental information detected by the first sensor. For example, it can control the first display component to change its display color or pattern when the environmental information changes.

[0013] Therefore, this application enables the appearance of the cooking device to be associated with the environmental information of the environment in which the cooking device is located by setting a first display component and a first sensor on the cooking device. This allows the user to understand the characteristics of the environment in which the cooking device is located through the details of the appearance when observing the appearance of the cooking device, and thus make targeted operations based on the characteristics of the environment.

[0014] For example, when the ambient temperature is high, the controller can switch the first display to red. When the user sees the first display is red, they can move the cooking equipment to a cool area to avoid overheating and damage. Furthermore, after being exposed to direct sunlight in hot summer conditions, the outer casing of the cooking equipment will be very hot; displaying red can alert the user to this condition, reducing the probability of burns from the hot casing.

[0015] Correspondingly, when the humidity level of the environment is high, the probability of short circuit failure in the cooking equipment increases. At this time, the controller controls the first display component to switch to blue to remind the user to move the cooking equipment to a dry area, thereby reducing the failure rate of the cooking equipment and extending its service life.

[0016] In summary, this application associates the appearance of cooking equipment with environmental information, giving the appearance more functions. Users can fully understand the characteristics of their environment based on the appearance of the cooking equipment, thereby solving the technical problems existing in related technologies, and thus achieving the technical effect of expanding the functions of cooking equipment, improving the practicality and reliability of cooking equipment, and enhancing the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] The following reference Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a cooking apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking device 100, which includes: a body 110; a first display component 120 disposed on the outer surface of the body 110; a first sensor 130 disposed on the body 110 and used to detect environmental information; and a controller 140 connected to the first sensor 130 and the first display component 120, which is used to control the operation of the first display component 120 according to the environmental information.

[0041] In this embodiment, a cooking device 100 is proposed. The cooking device 100 includes a body 110, which is the main frame structure of the cooking device 100. The body 110 can position and protect the working structure in the cooking device 100. The shape of the body 110 corresponds to the shape of the cooking device 100, and the outer surface of the body 110 is the outer surface of the cooking device 100.

[0042] Based on this, the cooking device 100 also includes a first display component 120, a first sensor 130, and a controller 140.

[0043] The first display component 120 is disposed on the outer surface of the main body 110. The first display component 120 can change the appearance of the cooking device 100 by changing the display color and the displayed pattern.

[0044] The first sensor 130 is disposed on the body 110. The first sensor 130 can detect the environmental information of the environment in which the body 110 is located. The environmental information may include the brightness value of the environment, the temperature value of the environment, the humidity value of the environment, etc.

[0045] The controller 140 is disposed within the main body 110, and is electrically connected to the first sensor 130 and the first display component 120 via a control circuit. During operation, the controller 140 can control the operation of the first display component 120 based on the environmental information detected by the first sensor 130, such as controlling the first display component 120 to change the display color or change the display pattern when the environmental information changes.

[0046] Therefore, by setting a first display component 120 and a first sensor 130 on the cooking device 100, this application enables the appearance of the cooking device 100 to be associated with the environmental information of the environment in which the cooking device 100 is located. This allows users to understand the characteristics of the environment in which the cooking device 100 is located through the details of the appearance when they observe the appearance of the cooking device 100, and thus make targeted operations based on the characteristics of the environment.

[0047] For example, when the ambient temperature is high, the controller 140 can control the first display component 120 to switch to red. When the user observes that the first display component 120 is red, they can move the cooking device 100 to a cool area to avoid overheating and damage. Furthermore, after being exposed to high temperatures in summer, the outer casing of the cooking device 100 will be very hot; displaying red can alert the user to this condition, reducing the probability of the user being burned by the hot casing.

[0048] Correspondingly, when the humidity of the environment is high, the probability of short circuit failure of the cooking equipment 100 increases. At this time, the controller 140 controls the first display component 120 to switch to blue to remind the user to move the cooking equipment 100 to a dry area, so as to reduce the failure rate of the cooking equipment 100 and extend the service life of the cooking equipment 100.

[0049] In summary, this application associates the appearance of the cooking device 100 with environmental information, giving the appearance more functions. Users can fully understand the characteristics of the environment based on the appearance of the cooking device 100, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the related technologies, and thus achieving the technical effect of expanding the functions of the cooking device 100, improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100, and improving the user experience.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the first display component 120 includes: electronic paper, which covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the body 110, and a controller 140 for controlling the electronic paper to change at least one of the display color, display brightness, and display pattern.

[0051] In this embodiment, electronic paper is selected as the first display component 120. Electronic paper, also called digital paper, is an ultra-thin and ultra-light display screen, which can be understood as "a display screen that is as thin, flexible, and erasable as paper." Electronic paper is a thin film, and the layer of charged material "coated" on the film is electronic ink. This can also be seen as a thin embedded remote control display panel.

[0052] In summary, electronic paper has the advantages of being thin and light. Covering the outer surface of the main body 110 with electronic paper can reduce the impact of the first display component 120 on the size of the cooking device 100. At the same time, electronic paper is also flexible, which allows it to fully adhere to the outer surface of the main body 110. This reduces the impact of the first display component 120 on the shape of the main body 110 and allows the display area to cover irregular areas on the outer side of the main body 110, thereby improving the display effect.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the first display component 120 further includes: a light-emitting element disposed on the outer surface of the body 110, and a controller 140 for controlling the color and display brightness of the light-emitting element; and / or a display screen disposed on the outer surface of the body 110, and a controller 140 for controlling the brightness and display pattern of the display screen.

[0054] In this technical solution, the first display component 120 also includes a light-emitting element, which is installed on the outer surface of the main body 110. The light-emitting element includes LED beads, LED strips, LED tubes, etc. For example, the light-emitting element can form a light-emitting array by multiple LED beads. The controller 140 can control the color and brightness of the LED beads according to the environmental information. The controller 140 can also control the on / off state of each LED bead on the light-emitting array according to the environmental information, so that the light-emitting array can display the corresponding pattern.

[0055] Specifically, the first display component 120 also includes a display screen, which is also mounted on the outer surface of the main body 110. The controller can control the brightness and display pattern of the display screen according to environmental information. For example, when the ambient light is high, the controller 140 controls the display screen to turn off to save power. When the ambient light is low, the controller 140 controls the display screen to work, so that the user can accurately locate the position of the cooking device 100 according to the illuminated display screen.

[0056] In summary, this application associates the appearance of the cooking device 100 with environmental information, giving the appearance more functions. Users can fully understand the characteristics of the environment based on the appearance of the cooking device 100, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the related technologies, and thus achieving the technical effect of expanding the functions of the cooking device 100, improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100, and improving the user experience.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the first sensor 130 includes: a first temperature sensor 132, which is used to detect the temperature value of the environment where the cooking equipment 100 is located; and / or a light sensor 134, which is used to detect the brightness value of the environment where the cooking equipment 100 is located; and / or a humidity sensor, which is used to detect the humidity value of the environment where the cooking equipment 100 is located.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first sensor 130 includes at least one of a first temperature sensor 132, a light sensor 134, and a humidity sensor.

[0059] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 132 can detect the ambient temperature, and the controller 140 can adjust the display color and pattern of the first display component 120 based on this temperature value. For example, it can display red when the temperature is too high and blue when the temperature is too low, or display a flame pattern when the temperature is too high and a snowflake pattern when the temperature is too low. This allows users to make targeted operations by observing the first display component 120, reducing the probability of users being burned by overheated casings and reducing the probability of heat damage to the cooking equipment 100, thus achieving the technical effect of improving the user experience.

[0060] The light sensor 134 can detect the brightness value of the surrounding environment, and the controller 140 can adjust the brightness value of the first display component 120 based on this brightness value. For example, when the brightness value of the surrounding environment is low, the controller controls the first display component 120 to increase its brightness so that the user can locate the cooking device 100 in a dark environment. When the brightness value of the surrounding environment is high, the controller controls the first display component 120 to decrease its brightness to reduce energy consumption.

[0061] The humidity sensor can detect the humidity level of the environment, and the controller 140 can adjust the color and display pattern of the first display component 120 based on this humidity level. For example, it can display blue when the humidity level is too high, or it can display a water droplet pattern when the humidity level is too high. Thus, the user can observe the first display component 120 to understand that the humidity of the environment in which the cooking appliance 100 is located is too high, prompting the user to move the cooking appliance 100 to a dry area in time, thereby reducing the failure rate of the cooking appliance 100.

[0062] Therefore, by setting the first sensor 130, the appearance of the cooking device 100 can be associated with the characteristics of the environment, thereby giving the appearance of the cooking device 100 more functions, and thus achieving the technical effect of improving the practicality of the cooking device 100 and optimizing the user experience.

[0063] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the correspondence between the brightness information of the surrounding environment and the display color of the first display component 120 is shown in Table 1 below, and the correspondence between the temperature information of the surrounding environment and the display color of the first display component 120 is shown in Table 2 below.

[0064] Table 1

[0065] The brightness level of the surrounding environment Display color Brightness level 1 Blue Depth Level 1 Brightness level 2 Blue Depth Level 2 Brightness level 3 Blue depth 3 levels Brightness level 4 Blue depth level 4 Brightness level 5 Blue depth level 5

[0066] Among them, the higher the brightness level, the higher the brightness value of the surrounding environment; the higher the color depth level, the darker the color.

[0067] Table 2

[0068] Temperature value of the surrounding environment Display color 15℃-23℃ Red, orange, yellow 23℃-28℃ Blue, green, purple

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, there are multiple first sensors 130, which are used to detect various environmental information; there are multiple first display components 120, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple first sensors 130, and the display colors of the multiple first display components 120 are different.

[0070] In this embodiment, there are multiple first sensors 130, each used to detect different environmental information. Furthermore, each first sensor 130 is assigned a corresponding display component, allowing multiple pieces of environmental information to be displayed through multiple first display components 120.

[0071] For example, when the cooking device 100 is an air fryer, the ambient temperature is detected by a first temperature sensor 132, and a first display component 120 associated with the first temperature sensor 132 is disposed around the lid of the air fryer. The ambient brightness is detected by a light sensor 134, and a first display component 120 associated with the light sensor 134 is disposed on the body of the air fryer. The ambient humidity is detected by a humidity sensor, and a first display component 120 associated with the humidity sensor is disposed on the top of the lid of the air fryer.

[0072] It can be seen that by setting a one-to-one corresponding first display component 120 for multiple first sensors 130, different areas on the outer surface of the main body 110 can display different features of the environment to the user, thereby achieving the technical effect of broadening the functions of the cooking equipment 100 and improving the practicality of the cooking equipment 100.

[0073] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the main body 110 includes a plurality of mounting positions 1102; the first display component 120 is detachably disposed on the mounting position 1102.

[0074] In this embodiment, the main body 110 is provided with a plurality of mounting positions 1102, the first display component 120 is adapted to the plurality of mounting positions 1102 at the same time, and the first display component 120 is detachably connected to the main body 110.

[0075] During use, the user can install the first display component 120 on one of the mounting positions 1102 according to their personal needs. As the user needs change, the user can also adjust the first display component 120 to other mounting positions 1102.

[0076] Therefore, this embodiment allows users to freely adjust the display position of the first display component 120 according to their personalized needs, thereby improving the user experience and enhancing the product's appeal.

[0077] Specifically, the first display component 120 can be magnetically attached to the outside of the main body 110, and the first display component 120 and the controller 140 can be electrically connected through contacts.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the environmental information includes the brightness value of the environment in which the cooking device 100 is located. The cooking device 100 also includes: an operation panel 150, which is disposed on the body 110, and a first display component 120 is disposed at least around the operation panel 150; or the first display component 120 is at least partially located on the operation panel 150.

[0079] In this embodiment, the main body 110 is provided with an operation panel 150, which allows the user to control the operation of the cooking device 100.

[0080] Based on this, the first sensor 130 is at least capable of detecting the brightness value of the surrounding environment, and the first display component 120 is at least arranged around the operation panel 150, or the first display component 120 is directly arranged on the operation panel 150.

[0081] When the ambient light is low, the controller 140 can control the first display component 120 to increase the brightness based on the detection result of the first sensor 130. The first display component 120 surrounding the operation panel 150 or set on the operation panel 150 can make the operation panel 150 stand out, so that the user can accurately locate the position of the operation panel 150 in a dark environment, making it convenient for the user to control the cooking equipment 100 in a dark environment, thereby improving the practicality of the cooking equipment 100 and providing convenient conditions for the user.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the environmental information includes the temperature value of the environment in which the cooking device 100 is located. The cooking device 100 also includes a temperature regulating component 160, which is disposed on the body 110. A controller 140 is connected to the temperature regulating component 160, and the controller 140 is used to control the temperature regulating component 160 to adjust the temperature value of the outer surface of the body 110 according to the temperature value of the environment in which the cooking device 100 is located.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first sensor 130 is at least able to detect the temperature value of the surrounding environment.

[0084] Based on this, a temperature regulating component 160 is also provided on the main body 110. The temperature regulating component 160 is connected to the controller 140. The controller 140 can control the temperature regulating component 160 to adjust the temperature of the outer surface of the main body 110 based on the temperature value detected by the first sensor 130.

[0085] For example, when the ambient temperature is too high, the outer surface of the main body 110 may burn the user. In response, the controller 140 controls the temperature regulating component 160 to cool the outer surface of the main body 110 to prevent the user from being burned.

[0086] Correspondingly, when the ambient temperature is too low, the controller 140 controls the temperature adjustment component 160 to heat the outer surface of the main body 110, so as to reduce the stinging sensation when the user touches the cold outer surface, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the safety and reliability of the cooking equipment 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0087] Specifically, the temperature regulating component 160 includes a semiconductor cooling chip.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cooking device 100 specifically includes: an alarm device 170, which is disposed on the main body 110, and a controller 140 connected to the alarm device 170. The controller 140 is used to control the alarm device 170 to work according to environmental information.

[0089] In this embodiment, the cooking device 100 also includes an alarm device 170, which is located on the outside of the main body 110 and is connected to the controller 140. The controller 140 can control the alarm device 170 to work based on the environmental information detected by the first sensor 130.

[0090] For example, when the first sensor 130 detects that the temperature or humidity of the environment is too high, the control alarm device 170 issues an alarm to remind the user to move the cooking equipment 100 to a cool and dry area in time, so as to reduce the probability of damage to the cooking equipment 100, extend the service life of the cooking equipment 100, and thus achieve the technical effect of improving the safety and reliability of the cooking equipment 100.

[0091] Specifically, the alarm device 170 includes a buzzer and a signal transmitter.

[0092] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, specifically, the first sensor 130 is also used to detect the working information of the cooking device 100; the controller 140 is used to control the first display component 120 to work according to the working information; wherein, the working information includes the temperature value of the cooking cavity 1104, and the controller 140 is used to control the display color of the first display component 120 according to the temperature value of the cooking cavity 1104.

[0093] In this technical solution, the first sensor 130 can also detect the working information of the cooking device 100, and the controller 140 can control the first display component 120 to work according to the working information detected by the first sensor 130. The working information includes the temperature value in the cooking cavity 1104, the cooking time, and whether the cooking is completed.

[0094] Therefore, by setting the first sensor 130 and the first display component 120, the appearance of the cooking device 100 can be associated with its working status. This allows users to fully understand the internal and external information of the cooking device 100 by observing the status of the first display component 120 from an area away from the cooking device 100, thereby improving the practicality of the cooking device 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0095] Specifically, the main body 110 includes a cooking cavity 1104, in which food is heated.

[0096] In one embodiment of this application, the first sensor 130 can detect the temperature value of the cooking cavity 1104, and the controller 140 can control the display color of the first display component 120 and the display pattern of the first display component 120 based on the temperature value of the cooking cavity 1104.
