Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a display component and a household appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Display components are crucial parts of home appliances, primarily used to display information such as appliance functions and cooking time. In related technologies, the light-emitting element of the display component is typically housed within an opaque casing. When the element is off, it is concealed by the casing's color; when illuminated, the light passes through the casing, displaying its color and the patterns on the casing. However, this display scheme offers limited color display. Using color-changing light-emitting elements would increase the production cost of the display component. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a display component that can display different colors and has a low cost.

[0005] This utility model also proposes a household appliance.

[0006] The display component of this utility model includes: a light-emitting element and a blocking element. The blocking element is disposed on one side of the light-emitting element along a first direction. The blocking element includes a first display part and a second display part. The first display part and the second display part have different thicknesses along the first direction, and the first display part and the second display part can absorb light of different wavelengths. When the light-emitting element is lit, the first display part and the second display part can display different colors.

[0007] According to the display component of this utility model, since the first display part and the second display part can absorb light of different wavelengths, the first display part and the second display part can display different colors when the light-emitting element is lit. Thus, the display component can display different colors of light, and there is no need to design the light-emitting element as a variable color light-emitting structure, thereby saving the production cost of the display component and simplifying the processing and manufacturing.

[0008] Optionally, the light-emitting element includes a first LED, and the blocking member is movable relative to the first LED between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first display unit is arranged opposite to the first LED along a first direction, and in the second position, the second display unit is arranged opposite to the first LED along the first direction. Since the blocking member is movable relative to the first LED between the first and second positions, the positions of the first and second display units can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user or product, allowing the display assembly to display different colors of light. This improves the flexibility of the display assembly during use and reduces production costs.

[0009] Optionally, the first display unit and the second display unit are arranged along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction, and the blocking member is movable along the second direction between the first position and the second position. This simplifies the operation of the blocking member and makes it convenient to use. Furthermore, since the blocking member moves along the second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction, the space occupied by the blocking member in the first direction can be reduced, resulting in a more compact assembly of the display components.

[0010] Optionally, in the second direction, the thickness of the blocking member gradually increases or decreases along the first direction. That is, the thickness of the blocking member along the first direction is gradient, which can increase the range of colors that the blocking member can display, so that the display component can display more colors, expand the application range of the display component, and improve the flexibility of the display component in displaying different colors.

[0011] Optionally, the blocking member has a rotation center, and the first display unit and the second display unit are arranged around the rotation center. The blocking member can rotate between the first position and the second position around the rotation center. This simplifies the operation of the blocking member and makes it convenient to use. In addition, since the blocking member rotates around the rotation center, its space occupation can be reduced, making the assembled display components more compact.

[0012] Optionally, in the rotational direction of the blocking member, the thickness of the blocking member gradually increases or decreases along the first direction. This increases the range of colors that the blocking member can display, allowing the display component to display more colors, expanding the applicability of the display component, and improving the flexibility of the display component in displaying different colors.

[0013] Optionally, the display component further includes a motor component connected to the blocking member, which drives the blocking member to move between the first position and the second position. Because the motor component can automatically drive the blocking member between the first and second positions, the color display of the display component becomes more intelligent. The motor component can be correlated with temperature or time; when the temperature or time changes, the motor component can automatically adjust the position of the blocking member so that the display component can display different colors in real time.

[0014] Optionally, the display component further includes a handheld component connected to the blocking component. The handheld component can move the blocking component between the first position and the second position. The user can operate the handheld component to move the blocking component, allowing the user to adjust the display color of the display component according to actual needs. This reduces the production cost of the display component and eliminates the need for other driving components, thus improving the reliability of the display component during operation.

[0015] Optionally, the light-emitting element includes a first LED and a second LED, with the first LED arranged opposite to the first display unit and the second LED arranged opposite to the second display unit. Since display units of different thicknesses can absorb light of different wavelengths, the color of the light projected by the first LED through the first display unit is different from the color of the light projected by the second LED through the second display unit. This allows a monochromatic light-emitting element to project different colors of light, improving the aesthetics of the display assembly, enhancing the user experience, and reducing the production cost of the display assembly compared to a scheme that "sets the light-emitting element as a variable-color light-emitting structure."

[0016] Optionally, the blocking component further includes a third display unit, and the light-emitting component further includes a third LED. The third LED is arranged opposite to the third display unit. The first display unit, the second display unit, and the third display unit are arranged sequentially along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The first display unit, the second display unit, and the third display unit satisfy one of the following conditions: in the second direction, the thickness of the first display unit, the second display unit, and the third display unit increases sequentially along the first direction; or in the second direction, the thickness of the first display unit, the second display unit, and the third display unit decreases sequentially along the first direction. With the above conditions, the colors displayed by the first display unit, the second display unit, and the third display unit can gradually change, allowing the display components to present a marquee display effect, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0017] Optionally, the thickness of the first display unit along the first direction is equal to the thickness of the third display unit along the first direction. In this case, since the thickness of the first display unit and the third display unit along the first direction is equal, the color or brightness displayed by the first display unit can be substantially equal to the color or brightness displayed by the third display unit, thereby enabling the display components to present a display effect of alternating different colors.

[0018] Another embodiment of the present invention includes a household appliance comprising the display component described in any one of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] The household appliance of this invention can display different colors when the light-emitting element is lit because the first display part and the second display part can absorb light of different wavelengths. Thus, the display component can display different colors of light without having to design the light-emitting element as a variable color light-emitting structure, thereby saving the production cost of the household appliance and simplifying the processing and manufacturing process.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 12 This invention describes a display component and a household appliance according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the display component of this utility model embodiment includes: a light-emitting element 1 and a blocking element 2. The blocking element 2 is disposed on one side of the light-emitting element 1 along a first direction. The blocking element 2 includes a first display part 21 and a second display part 22. The first display part 21 and the second display part 22 have different thicknesses along the first direction, and the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can absorb light of different wavelengths. When the light-emitting element 1 is lit, the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can display different colors.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the light-emitting element 1 is located inside the blocking element 2. When the light-emitting element 1 is lit, it can emit light towards the blocking element 2.

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can absorb light of different wavelengths, when the light-emitting element 1 is lit, the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can display different colors. Thus, the display component can display different colors of light, and there is no need to design the light-emitting element 1 as a variable color light-emitting structure, thereby saving the production cost of the display component and simplifying the processing and manufacturing.

[0040] The first direction can be up and down, front and back, or left and right, and this utility model does not limit it.

[0041] The shielding member 2 is a plastic or glass product with added optical additives. For example, the plastic can be made of materials such as PC, ABS, PP, PMMA, PS, etc. It is advantageous to add optical additives to the plastic so that the shielding members 2 of different thicknesses have different absorption capabilities for different wavelengths of light, thereby allowing the first display portion 21 and the second display portion 22 of different thicknesses to display different colors.

[0042] For example, optical additives can enable the first display unit 21 and the second display unit 22 to display colors such as blue, red, and yellow. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the shaded area represents the color displayed by the component, and different shade densities represent different colors.

[0043] When the light-emitting element 1 is not lit, the structure of the blocking element 2 itself is dark (e.g., black), which can prevent users from observing the specific structure of the light-emitting element 1 through the blocking element 2, thereby improving the overall appearance of the display component.

[0044] Optionally, such as Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the light-emitting component 1 includes a first LED bead 11, and a blocking component 2 is movable relative to the first LED bead 11 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, a first display portion 21 is arranged opposite to the first LED bead 11 along a first direction, and in the second position, a second display portion 22 is arranged opposite to the first LED bead 11 along the first direction. Therefore, the blocking component 2 is movable relative to the first LED bead 11 between the first and second positions, allowing the positions of the first display portion 21 and the second display portion 22 to be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user or product, enabling the display component to display different colors of light. This improves the flexibility of the display component during use and reduces production costs.

[0045] In one example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the first display unit 21 and the second display unit 22 are arranged along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The blocking member 2 is movable between a first position and a second position along the second direction. It is understood that the blocking member 2 can translate relative to the first LED bead 11, thereby simplifying the operation of the blocking member 2 and making it convenient to use. Furthermore, since the blocking member 2 moves along the second direction, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, the space occupied by the blocking member 2 in the first direction can be reduced, making the assembled display components more compact.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the second direction, the thickness of the blocking member 2 gradually increases or decreases along the first direction. It can be understood that the thickness of the blocking member 2 along the first direction is gradient, which can increase the range of colors that the blocking member 2 can display, so that the display component can display more colors, expand the application range of the display component, and improve the flexibility of the display component in displaying different colors.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the side of the first display part 21 facing the light-emitting element 1 and the side of the second display part 22 facing the light-emitting element 1 are located in the same plane, and the thickness of the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 along the first direction is gradually changing (gradually increasing or gradually decreasing), which makes the structural design of the shielding member 2 simple and the color change range wider.

[0048] In another example, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the blocking member 2 has a rotation center P, and the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 are arranged around the rotation center. The blocking member 2 can rotate between a first position and a second position around the rotation center. It can be understood that the blocking member 2 can rotate relative to the first LED bead 11, making the operation of the blocking member 2 simple and convenient. In addition, since the blocking member 2 can rotate around the rotation center, the space occupied by the blocking member 2 can be reduced, making the assembled display assembly more compact.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in the rotation direction of the blocking member 2, the thickness of the blocking member 2 gradually increases or decreases along the first direction. For example, the cross-section of the blocking member 2 is approximately circular, and the center of rotation is located at the center of the circle of the cross-section of the blocking member 2. In the circumferential direction of the blocking member 2, the axial dimension (thickness dimension) of the outer wall surface of the blocking member 2 gradually increases or decreases. This can increase the range of colors that the blocking member 2 can display, so that the display component can display more colors, expand the application range of the display component, and improve the flexibility of the display component in displaying different colors.

[0050] For example, the display assembly also includes a motor component (not shown), which is connected to the blocking member 2. The motor component drives the blocking member 2 to move between a first position and a second position. It is understood that the motor component can drive the blocking member 2 to move automatically between the first and second positions, making the color display of the display assembly more intelligent. For example, the motor component can be associated with temperature or time; when the temperature or time changes, the motor component can automatically adjust the position of the blocking member 2 so that the display assembly can display different colors in real time.

[0051] For example, the display component also includes a handheld component (not shown), which is connected to the blocking component 2. The handheld component can drive the blocking component 2 to move between a first position and a second position. It is understood that the user can operate the handheld component to drive the blocking component 2 to move, so that the user can adjust the display color of the display component according to actual needs. This can reduce the production cost of the display component and eliminate the need for other driving components, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the display component during operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting element 1 includes a first LED 11 and a second LED 12. The first LED 11 is arranged opposite to the first display unit 21, and the second LED 12 is arranged opposite to the second display unit 22. It is understood that since display units of different thicknesses (the first display unit 21 and the second display unit 22) can absorb light of different wavelengths, the color of the light projected by the first LED 11 to the outside through the first display unit 21 is different from the color of the light projected by the second LED 12 to the outside through the second display unit 22. This allows the monochromatic light-emitting element 1 to project different colors of light, which improves the aesthetics of the display component, enhances the user experience, and reduces the production cost of the display component compared to a solution that "sets the light-emitting element 1 as a variable-color light-emitting structure."

[0053] For example, the first LED 11 and the second LED 12 can be LEDs, which emit white light when unobstructed. When the thickness of the first display unit 21 is 1mm, the light projected by the first LED 11 to the outside through the first display unit 21 is blue. When the thickness of the second display unit 22 is 2mm, the light projected by the second LED 12 to the outside through the second display unit 22 is red.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the shielding member 2 also includes a third display section 23, and the light-emitting member 1 also includes a third lamp bead 13. The third lamp bead 13 is arranged opposite to the third display section 23. The first display section 21, the second display section 22, and the third display section 23 are arranged sequentially along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The first display section 21, the second display section 22, and the third display section 23 satisfy one of the following conditions:

[0055] (1) In the second direction, the thickness of the first display unit 21, the second display unit 22 and the third display unit 23 increases sequentially along the first direction.

[0056] (2) In the second direction, the thickness of the first display unit 21, the second display unit 22 and the third display unit 23 decreases sequentially along the first direction.

[0057] (3) The thickness of the first display section 21 along the first direction is equal to the thickness of the third display section 23 along the first direction.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first and second cases, the colors displayed by the first display unit 21, the second display unit 22 and the third display unit 23 can gradually change, so that the display components can present a marquee display effect, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the third case, since the thickness of the first display unit 21 and the third display unit 23 is equal along the first direction, the color or brightness displayed by the first display unit 21 is approximately equal to the color or brightness displayed by the third display unit 23, thereby enabling the display components to present a display effect of alternating different colors.

[0060] This invention does not limit the number of display sections in the shielding member 2. In other examples, the shielding member 2 also includes a fourth display section, a fifth display section, and a sixth display section, with the first display section 21, the second display section 22, the third display section 23, the fourth display section, the fifth display section, and the sixth display section arranged sequentially along a first direction, and each display section corresponding to one LED bead.

[0061] Another embodiment of the present invention includes a household appliance comprising the display component of the present invention.

[0062] In the household appliance of this utility model embodiment, since the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can absorb light of different wavelengths, the first display part 21 and the second display part 22 can display different colors when the light-emitting element 1 is lit. Thus, the display component can display different colors of light, and there is no need to design the light-emitting element 1 as a variable color light-emitting structure, thereby saving the production cost of household appliances and simplifying the processing and manufacturing.

[0063] For example, household appliances can be air fryers, electric kettles, electric pressure cookers, rice cookers, or blenders.
