Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric furnace panel technology, and in particular to a lighting structure for an electric furnace panel. Background Technology

[0002] In the use of electric stoves such as induction cookers and ceramic cooktops, setting up lighting structures on the panel to achieve illumination and create a lighting range has become a common design trend in the industry in order to improve user convenience and enhance the lighting atmosphere.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the utility model patent with announcement number CN208418847U, a new type of induction cooker panel structure is disclosed. It sets up a light strip device between the glass panel and the panel shelf, and works with the light-transmitting strip around the corresponding functional control area on the glass panel. The light emitted by the light strip device can be emitted outward through the light-transmitting strip, thereby achieving the lighting effect around the functional control area. This solves the problem of inconvenient operation for users in dim environments to a certain extent, and also enhances the aesthetics of the product.

[0004] However, this type of structure still has significant shortcomings in practical applications. It directly clamps the entire LED strip device between the panel and the panel shelf, and the panel and shelf are often fixed with adhesive. This fixing method makes it difficult to disassemble the panel and shelf without damage when the LED strip device malfunctions and needs maintenance or replacement. Forced disassembly is not only cumbersome but also easily causes the glass panel to break, significantly increasing maintenance costs and difficulty, thus lacking practicality and requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a lighting structure for an electric furnace panel.

[0006] A lighting structure for an electric furnace panel designed for this purpose includes a panel and a panel support. The lower surface of the panel is attached to the upper surface of the panel support, and the upper surface of the panel support is provided with a downwardly recessed mounting groove.

[0007] The panel has a light-transmitting area corresponding to the position of the mounting slot;

[0008] A light guide is provided inside the mounting slot;

[0009] A circuit board is provided below the panel bracket, and the circuit board is provided with a number of LED beads. An opening corresponding to the position of the LED beads is provided on the lower surface of the panel bracket.

[0010] The lamp bead extends at least partially through the opening into the mounting groove; the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead faces the light guide, and the light emitted by the lamp bead is irradiated to the outside through the light guide and the light-transmitting area.

[0011] Preferably, the light guide has a recessed groove from bottom to top corresponding to the position of the opening, and the lamp bead is at least partially inserted into the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead is the front and back surface or the left and right surface of the lamp bead.

[0013] Preferably, the light-transmitting area, the mounting groove, and the light guide are all arranged in a ring structure; a number of lamp beads are arranged along the ring.

[0014] Preferably, a control area is provided on the panel inside the light-transmitting area;

[0015] A clearance area is provided on the panel support below the control area, and the clearance area is a space that runs vertically through the control area; the circuit board is located directly below the clearance area.

[0016] Preferably, the panel and the panel bracket are fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0017] Preferably, the circuit board and the panel bracket are fixedly connected by screws.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] Easy maintenance and replacement: By placing the LEDs on the circuit board below the panel bracket, with the LEDs extending through an opening on the lower surface of the panel bracket into the mounting slot, and the light guide independently placed in the mounting slot, the design limitations of clamping the entire lighting assembly between the panel and the panel bracket are avoided. When the LEDs or light guide malfunction, there is no need to disassemble the panel and panel bracket, which are fixed by adhesive or other methods. Maintenance or replacement can be completed simply by operating the circuit board below the panel bracket or the light guide in the mounting slot. This effectively reduces the difficulty of disassembly, prevents the glass panel from breaking due to forced removal, greatly improves the convenience and safety of maintenance, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0020] Stable and reliable lighting effect: The light emitted by the LED beads is conducted and uniformly processed by the light guide in the mounting slot, and then irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting area on the panel. This ensures that the light is evenly and stably diffused, which not only ensures effective lighting of the functional areas of the panel and improves the user's ease of operation in dim environments, but also creates a soft lighting atmosphere, enhancing the product's aesthetics and user experience.

[0021] The structural design is reasonable and practical: the panel and panel bracket are closely connected, and the LED beads and light guides are precisely matched through openings and mounting slots. The structural layout achieves the lighting function while taking into account the stability and compactness of the overall structure. It avoids structural loosening or functional failure caused by improper installation of lighting components, thereby improving the overall reliability and service life of the product.

[0025] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Enlarged structural diagram at point A in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 A lighting structure for an electric furnace panel includes a panel 10 and a panel support 20. The lower surface of the panel 10 is attached to the upper surface of the panel support 20, and the upper surface of the panel support 20 is provided with a downwardly recessed mounting groove 200.

[0028] The panel 10 has a light-transmitting area 100 at the position corresponding to the mounting groove 200;

[0029] A light guide 40 is provided inside the mounting groove 200;

[0030] A circuit board 30 is provided below the panel bracket 20. The circuit board 30 is provided with a plurality of LED beads 310. An opening 210 corresponding to the position of the LED beads 310 is provided on the lower surface of the panel bracket 20.

[0031] The lamp bead 310 extends at least partially through the opening 210 into the mounting groove 200; the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead 310 faces the light guide 40, and the light emitted by the lamp bead 310 is irradiated to the outside through the light guide 40 and the light-transmitting area 100.

[0032] The working principle of the electric furnace panel lighting structure is as follows:

[0033] When the circuit is turned on, the LED beads 310 on the circuit board 30 below the panel bracket 20 are powered on and emit light. The light-emitting surface of the LED beads 310 faces the light guide 40 in the mounting groove 200 directly. Since the LED beads 310 extend into the mounting groove 200 through the opening 210 on the lower surface of the panel bracket 20 at least partially, the light loss in the transmission path can be reduced. The light is first projected onto the light guide 40. After the light guide 40 conducts and homogenizes the light, the light is evenly distributed and guided to the light-transmitting area 100 on the panel 10 corresponding to the mounting groove 200. Finally, the light shines through the light-transmitting area 100 to the outside, realizing the illumination of the functional area of ​​the panel or the creation of a lighting atmosphere. This not only ensures the stability and uniformity of the light output, but also ensures the efficient realization of the lighting function through structural cooperation.

[0034] The principle of subsequent maintenance and disassembly / reassembly of the electric furnace panel lighting structure is as follows:

[0035] The panel bracket and the furnace housing are detachably connected by screws. When maintenance of the LEDs is required, simply unscrew the screws connecting the panel bracket and the furnace housing to separate them. At this point, the circuit board, previously located beneath the panel bracket, is exposed, allowing operators to easily disassemble it and inspect or replace the LEDs. The entire process eliminates the need to disassemble the bonded panel and bracket, effectively avoiding the risk of panel damage during disassembly, significantly simplifying the maintenance process and improving the convenience and safety of LED maintenance.

[0036] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The light guide 40 has a recessed groove 410 at the position corresponding to the opening 210, and the lamp bead 310 is at least partially inserted into the groove 410. The groove on the light guide and the lamp bead are inserted into each other, which allows the light emitted by the lamp bead to be guided into the light guide more concentratedly, reducing light loss, improving light guiding efficiency, and ensuring that the light in the light-transmitting area is more uniform and bright.

[0037] In this invention, the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead 310 is either the front / back surface or the left / right surface of the lamp bead 310. Since the lamp bead is assembled by inserting it in the vertical direction, setting its light-emitting surface as the front / back surface or the left / right surface allows the light to be emitted in the horizontal direction, which is exactly matched with the extension direction of the light guide. This allows the light to be emitted more directly and fully into the light guide, reducing the dispersion of light in the vertical direction, improving the light utilization rate, and enhancing the light guiding effect.

[0038] In this invention, the light-transmitting area 100, the mounting groove 200, and the light guide 40 are all arranged in a ring structure; a plurality of LED beads 310 are arranged in a ring. The ring structure of the light-transmitting area, the mounting groove, and the light guide, combined with the ring-arranged LED beads, allows light to be evenly dispersed along the ring-shaped light-transmitting area after being conducted by the light guide, forming a continuous and complete ring-shaped light and shadow effect. This not only enhances the sense of immersion and atmosphere of the lighting but also makes the light distribution more coordinated, improving the visual aesthetics of the product.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A control area 110 is provided on the panel 10 inside the light-transmitting area 100; a clearance area 220 is provided on the panel support 20 below the control area 110, and the clearance area 220 is a vertically continuous space; the circuit board 30 is located directly below the clearance area 220. In this embodiment, the clearance area below the control area, and the circuit board located directly below it, not only reserves installation and working space for related components of the control area (such as button sensing components), ensuring the normal realization of control functions, but also shortens the signal transmission path between the circuit board and the control area, reduces interference, and improves the accuracy and sensitivity of control response. Moreover, the light-transmitting area 100 can also provide illumination for the touch buttons in the control area 110, allowing users to clearly identify the position and function of each touch button in low-light environments, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation, and enhancing the visual guidance effect during operation.

[0040] In this utility model, the panel 10 and the panel support 20 are fixedly connected by adhesive.

[0041] In this invention, the circuit board 30 and the panel bracket 20 are fixedly connected by screws.
