Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more particularly to a cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cooking appliances, such as induction cookers, often have touch buttons on the display panel for convenient operation. Users can easily set and adjust cooking parameters by pressing these buttons. Additionally, the display panel is usually connected to ribbon cables for signal and power transmission.

[0003] For example, patent CN217137580U provides a panel assembly for a cooking appliance, including a button bracket, a display panel, and a back cover. The display panel is disposed between the button bracket and the back cover, and a ribbon cable module is connected to the display panel. The back cover is provided with a ribbon cable through hole for leading out the ribbon cable, and the ribbon cable is led out directly from the ribbon cable through hole through the side of the display panel.

[0004] However, due to limitations in layout and space, the ribbon cable of some existing cooking appliances cannot be routed directly from the side of the display panel adjacent to the ribbon cable. Instead, it needs to bypass the touch buttons and other structures on the display panel before exiting from the other side. This causes the ribbon cable to get very close to or even touch the touch buttons during the routing process, which can cause signal interference to the touch buttons when transmitting signals. This can easily lead to the touch buttons being accidentally triggered or becoming unresponsive. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue of signal interference to touch buttons caused by the display panel's ribbon cable during routing, this application provides a cooking appliance that reduces signal and physical interference to the touch buttons from the display panel's ribbon cable, thereby ensuring the reliability of the touch buttons.

[0006] This application provides a cooking appliance, including a display panel and a mounting body. The display panel is mounted on the mounting body. The display panel has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other. The first surface is provided with touch buttons and a ribbon cable. The ribbon cable extends from the first surface to the second surface and runs along the second surface, and extends out of the display panel from the side of the display panel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the display panel has a first side and a second side that are adjacent to each other and arranged at an angle;

[0008] The ribbon cable is positioned relatively close to the first side on the first surface. The ribbon cable extends from the first surface, through the first side, to the second surface for routing, and extends out of the display panel from the second side.

[0009] In some embodiments, the ribbon cable has a conductor, a first connecting terminal and a second connecting terminal, wherein the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal are respectively connected to two ends of the conductor;

[0010] The first connection terminal is fixed to the first surface, the wire is connected to the side of the first connection terminal facing the first side, and the touch button is located on the side of the first connection terminal facing away from the first side.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mounting body is a mounting bracket, the display panel is mounted on the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket has a buckle on its side, and the ribbon cable extends from the side of the display panel and is limited at the buckle.

[0012] In some embodiments, one end of the buckle is connected to the side of the mounting bracket, and the other end of the buckle forms a notch with the side of the mounting bracket. The cable is inserted into the limiting space formed between the buckle and the side of the mounting bracket via the notch.

[0013] In some embodiments, the display panel has a first side and a second side that are adjacent to each other and arranged at an angle. The ribbon cable extends from the first surface through the first side to the second surface for routing, and extends out of the display panel from the second side. The latch is located outside the second side, and the opening direction of the latch faces away from the first side.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting body is the housing of the cooking appliance, and a recessed receiving groove is provided on the outer side of the housing. The display panel is mounted in the receiving groove from the outside of the housing, and a wire hole is provided on the bottom wall or side wall of the receiving groove for the ribbon cable to pass through.

[0015] Alternatively, the mounting body may be the housing of the cooking appliance, and the display panel may be mounted on the inside of the housing.

[0016] In some embodiments, the display panel has a first side and a second side that are adjacent to each other and arranged at an angle, and the ribbon cable has a first bent section, a first extension section, a second bent section and a second extension section connected in sequence.

[0017] The first bending segment extends from the first surface to the second surface after being bent through the first side. The second extension segment extends along the second surface and extends out of the display panel through the second side. The second bending segment first bends towards the first surface and then bends away from the first surface. The second extension segment extends out of the mounting body.

[0018] In some embodiments, the second surface is provided with copper wires, which are used to form circuits and to shield the ribbon cable from signal interference to the touch button.

[0019] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance is an induction cooker, which includes a base and a top cover. The top cover is mounted on the base, and the mounting body is a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fixed to the inner surface of the top cover, and the display panel is mounted on the side of the mounting bracket facing away from the top cover.

[0020] The technical solution provided in this application has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0021] 1. The cooking appliance provided in this application has a display panel with a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other. The first surface is provided with touch buttons and a ribbon cable. By extending the ribbon cable from the first surface of the display panel to the second surface and routing it along the second surface, and by extending the ribbon cable out of the display panel from the side, that is, the ribbon cable is routed along the second surface of the display panel, while the touch buttons are located on the first surface of the display panel, this arrangement ensures that the ribbon cable avoids or stays away from the touch buttons as much as possible during the routing process. This effectively reduces signal interference to the touch buttons caused by the ribbon cable when transmitting signals, and also reduces physical interference to the touch buttons during the routing process. This ensures the reliability of the touch buttons and reduces the occurrence of button failure.

[0022] 2. By placing the ribbon cable on the first surface of the display panel relatively close to the first side, the ribbon cable extends from the first surface, through the first side, to the second surface for routing. This routing method allows the ribbon cable to avoid or stay away from the touch buttons as much as possible during the routing process, thereby effectively reducing signal and physical interference to the touch buttons caused by the ribbon cable during routing. At the same time, the ribbon cable eventually extends out of the display panel from the second side, thus realizing the normal exit of the ribbon cable from the second side of the display panel, solving the problem that the ribbon cable cannot directly exit from the first side of the display panel due to limitations such as layout space.

[0023] 3. By providing a buckle on the side of the mounting bracket, the ribbon cable is limited at the buckle after extending out of the display panel from the side. This allows the ribbon cable to be positioned in a regular manner, that is, the buckle restricts the ribbon cable to run along a predetermined position, so that the ribbon cable can better avoid components such as touch buttons on the display panel, thereby reducing the physical obstruction and interference of the ribbon cable to the components.

[0024] 4. By setting the buckle on the outer side of the second side of the display panel, and with the opening of the buckle facing away from the first side of the display panel, the ribbon cable can be effectively prevented from coming out of the limiting space after it is inserted into the limiting space between the buckle and the side of the mounting bracket.

[0025] 5. By incorporating copper wires on the second surface of the display panel, which form the panel's circuitry and provide shielding to reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference, the copper wires effectively shield the touch buttons from signal interference by routing the ribbon cable along the second surface. This ensures the reliability of the touch buttons. Furthermore, the copper wires are inherent to the display panel itself, rather than being additionally provided. This means that the copper wires are used to shield the touch buttons from signal interference, resulting in a simple structure that is easier to implement. Attached Figure Description

[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a cooking appliance, including a display panel 1 and a mounting body, wherein the display panel 1 is mounted on the mounting body.

[0044] It should be noted that the mounting body is the component used to mount or support the display panel 1. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1As shown, the mounting body can be a mounting bracket 2, with the display panel 1 mounted on the mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 can be connected to other components of the cooking appliance, such as the shell or cover, to achieve the installation of the display panel 1 on the cooking appliance. Alternatively, the mounting body can be the shell of the cooking appliance. Specifically, it can have a recessed receiving groove on the outer surface of the shell, with the display panel 1 installed from the outside of the shell into the receiving groove, thus achieving the installation of the display panel 1 on the cooking appliance. Furthermore, the mounting body can also include a mounting bracket and a shell. The display panel 1 can be first mounted on the mounting bracket, and then together with the mounting bracket, installed in the recessed receiving groove on the outer surface of the shell, also achieving the installation of the display panel 1 on the cooking appliance. Additionally, the display panel 1 can be directly installed on the inner side of the shell of the cooking appliance. This application does not specifically limit the specific structural form of the mounting body; it can be reasonably set and adjusted according to the actual structure of the cooking appliance, as long as it can achieve the installation or support of the display panel 1.

[0045] Among them, reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the display panel 1 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 arranged opposite to each other. The first surface 101 is provided with a touch button 11 and a ribbon cable 12. The ribbon cable 12 extends from the first surface 101 to the second surface 102 and is routed along the second surface 102. It also extends out of the display panel 1 from the side of the display panel 1.

[0046] It should be noted that the first surface 101 of the display panel 1 is the front of the display panel 1, and the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 is the back of the display panel 1. The touch button 11 and the ribbon cable 12 are both located on the front of the display panel 1. The ribbon cable 12 extends from the front of the display panel 1 to the back of the display panel 1 and runs along the back of the display panel 1. Then it extends out of the display panel 1 from the side.

[0047] The cooking appliance provided in this application embodiment has a ribbon cable 12 running along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1, while the touch button 11 is located on the first surface 101 of the display panel 1. This arrangement ensures that the ribbon cable 12 avoids or stays away from the touch button 11 as much as possible during the routing process, thereby effectively reducing signal interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11 when transmitting signals. At the same time, it reduces physical interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11 during the routing process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the touch button 11 and reducing the occurrence of button failure.

[0048] Specifically, due to space constraints, the ribbon cable 12 of some cooking appliances cannot exit directly from the side of the display panel 1 adjacent to the ribbon cable 12, but needs to be routed to the other side of the display panel 1. Figure 1Taking the structure shown as an example, the area indicated by arrow a in the diagram is the area where the ribbon cable 12 is installed on the display panel 1, and the area indicated by arrow b in the diagram is the area where the ribbon cable 12 exits on the display panel 1. The ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 is adjacent to the lower side of the display panel 1, but due to limitations such as layout space, the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 cannot directly exit from the lower side of the display panel 1 (this will be discussed in conjunction with the following). Figure 8 and Figure 9 (Detailed description required), and the cable needs to be routed to the right side of display panel 1.

[0049] Existing solutions typically involve routing the ribbon cable close to the first surface of the display panel, where touch buttons are located. This often results in the ribbon cable coming very close to, or even touching, the touch buttons during routing, causing signal interference and potentially leading to accidental triggering or unresponsive buttons. However, the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment routes the ribbon cable 12 around the second surface 102 of the display panel 1. Specifically, it can route the cable directly from the side of the display panel 1 adjacent to the ribbon cable 12 to the second surface 102, effectively avoiding or moving away from the touch buttons 11. This significantly reduces signal interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 during signal transmission and minimizes physical interference with the touch buttons 11 during routing, ensuring the reliability of the touch buttons and reducing the likelihood of button failure.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the display panel 1 has a first side 103 and a second side 104 that are adjacent to each other and arranged at an angle; the ribbon cable 12 is positioned on the first surface 101 relatively close to the first side 103, the ribbon cable 12 extends from the first surface 101 through the first side 103 to the second surface 102 for routing, and extends out of the display panel 1 from the second side 104.

[0051] By positioning the ribbon cable 12 on the first surface 101 of the display panel 1, relatively close to the first side 103, the ribbon cable 12 extends from the first surface 101 through the first side 103 to the second surface 102 for routing. This routing method allows the ribbon cable 12 to avoid or stay away from the touch button 11 as much as possible during routing, thereby effectively reducing signal and physical interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11 during routing. At the same time, the ribbon cable 12 eventually extends out of the display panel 1 from the second side 104, thus enabling the ribbon cable 12 to be normally led out from the second side 104 of the display panel 1, solving the problem that the ribbon cable 12 cannot be directly led out from the first side 103 of the display panel 1 due to limitations such as layout space.

[0052] In practice, the first side 103 and the second side 104 of the display panel 1 can be set vertically. Of course, the shape of the display panel 1 and the included angle formed between the first side 103 and the second side 104 of the display panel 1 can also be reasonably set and adjusted according to the actual layout space.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the ribbon cable 12 has a wire, a first connecting terminal 121, and a second connecting terminal 122, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the wire. The first connecting terminal 121 is fixed to the first surface 101 of the display panel 1, the wire is connected to the side of the first connecting terminal 121 facing the first side 103 of the display panel 1, and the touch button 11 is located on the side of the first connecting terminal 121 facing away from the first side 103 of the display panel 1.

[0054] By connecting the wire to the side of the first connection terminal 121 facing the first side 103 of the display panel 1, the wire can smoothly pass through the first side 103 of the display panel 1 and wrap around to the second surface 102 of the display panel 1; and the touch button 11 is located on the side of the first connection terminal 121 facing away from the first side 103 of the display panel 1, that is, the touch button 11 is located away from the wire of the ribbon cable 12, so that the routing of the ribbon cable 12 avoids or stays away from the touch button 11 on the display panel 1 as much as possible, thereby better reducing the signal interference and physical interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11 during the routing process.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the main body of the installation is the mounting bracket 2, the display panel 1 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2, the side of the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a buckle 21, the ribbon cable 12 extends out of the display panel 1 from the side of the display panel 1 and is limited at the buckle 21.

[0056] By providing a buckle 21 on the side of the mounting bracket 2, the ribbon cable 12 extends out of the display panel 1 from the side and is limited at the buckle 21. In this way, the buckle 21 can be used to form a regular positioning of the ribbon cable 12, that is, the buckle 21 is used to restrict the ribbon cable 12 to run along a predetermined position, so that the ribbon cable 12 can better avoid components such as the touch button 11 on the display panel 1, thereby reducing the physical obstruction and interference of the ribbon cable 12 to the components.

[0057] It should be noted that, in addition to the touch button 11, the display panel 1 can also be equipped with other components such as knobs and indicator lights as needed. By routing the ribbon cable 12 along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 and using the clip 21 to position the ribbon cable 12 in a regular manner, the ribbon cable 12 can better avoid other components on the display panel 1, thereby reducing the physical obstruction and interference of the ribbon cable 12 to other components.

[0058] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the buckle 21 is connected to the side of the mounting bracket 2, and the other end of the buckle 21 forms a slot 22 between the buckle 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2. The ribbon cable 12 is inserted into the limiting space 23 formed between the buckle 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2 via the slot 22.

[0059] With this setup, during assembly, the ribbon cable 12 only needs to be inserted into the limiting space 23 formed between the buckle 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2 through the snap 22. This allows the buckle 21 to limit the ribbon cable 12, resulting in a simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0060] Specifically, the ribbon cable 12 may include multiple wires arranged side by side. The width of the notch 22 formed between the clip 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2 can be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the wires (of course, it can also be slightly larger than the diameter of the wires). During assembly, the ribbon cable 12 can press the clip 21, causing the clip 21 to undergo a certain elastic deformation in the direction away from the side of the mounting bracket 2. This allows the ribbon cable 12 to be smoothly inserted into the limiting space 23 formed between the clip 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2 through the notch 22. The return of the clip 21 prevents the ribbon cable 12 from coming out of the limiting space 23.

[0061] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the display panel 1 has a first side 103 and a second side 104 that are adjacent to each other and arranged at an angle. The ribbon cable 12 extends from the first surface 101 through the first side 103 to the second surface 102 for routing, and extends out of the display panel 1 from the second side 104. The buckle 21 is located on the outside of the second side 104, and the opening direction of the latch 22 is opposite to the first side 103.

[0062] By setting the buckle 21 on the outside of the second side 104 of the display panel 1, and with the opening direction of the buckle 21's slot 22 facing away from the first side 103 of the display panel 1, the ribbon cable 12 can be effectively prevented from coming out of the limiting space 23 formed between the buckle 21 and the side of the mounting bracket 2 after it is inserted into the limiting space 23 through the slot 22.

[0063] Of course, the specific structure of the buckle 21 is not limited to the above limitations. It can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, as long as the buckle 21 can be used to limit the ribbon cable 12.

[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the display panel 1 has a first side 103 and a second side 104 that are adjacent and arranged at an angle. The ribbon cable 12 has a first bent section 123, a first extension section 124, a second bent section 125, and a second extension section 126 connected in sequence. The end of the first bent section 123 away from the first extension section 124 can be connected to the first connection terminal 121 of the ribbon cable 12, and the end of the second extension section 126 away from the second bent section 125 can be connected to the second connection terminal 122 of the ribbon cable 12.

[0065] Specifically, the first bending segment 123 extends from the first surface 101 through the first side 103 of the display panel 1 to the second surface 102 of the display panel 1. The second extension segment 126 extends along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 and extends out of the display panel 1 through the second side 104 of the display panel 1. The second bending segment 125 first bends towards the first surface 101 of the display panel 1 and then bends away from the first surface 101 of the display panel 1. The second extension segment 126 extends out of the mounting bracket 2.

[0066] This configuration allows the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 to extend from the first surface 101 of the display panel 1, through the first side 103 of the display panel 1, to the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 for routing. After routing along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1, it extends out of the display panel 1 through the second side 104 of the display panel 1, and finally extends out of the mounting bracket 2 from the outside of the second side 104 of the display panel 1, thus realizing the lead-out of the ribbon cable 12.

[0067] The first bending section 123 is designed to allow the ribbon cable 12 to change its routing direction after passing around the first side 103 of the display panel 1. The second bending section 125 is designed to allow the ribbon cable 12 to be inserted into the buckle 21 on the side of the mounting bracket 2 after passing around the second side 104 of the display panel 1, and then extend out of the mounting bracket 2 to realize the lead-out of the ribbon cable 12.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 is provided with copper wires, which are used to form circuits and to shield the signal interference of the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11.

[0069] By providing copper wires on the second surface 102 of the display panel 1, the copper wires are used to form the circuit of the display panel 1 and have a shielding effect, which can reduce or eliminate the influence of electromagnetic interference on the signal. Thus, by setting the ribbon cable 12 to run along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1, the copper wires can effectively shield the signal interference of the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11, thereby ensuring the reliability of the touch button 11.

[0070] It should be noted that the copper wire is included with the display panel 1 itself rather than being an additional feature. That is, the copper wire included with the display panel 1 is used to shield the signal interference of the ribbon cable 12 to the touch button 11. The structure is simple and easier to implement.

[0071] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 has multiple snap fasteners 24 spaced apart along its circumference. The display panel 1 is snapped into the inner area of ​​the multiple snap fasteners 24, and the ribbon cable 12 is set to avoid the snap fasteners 24.

[0072] This configuration allows the display panel 1 to be positioned on the mounting bracket 2 using multiple snap-fit ​​fasteners 24, facilitating assembly. Furthermore, the ribbon cable 12 is positioned to avoid the snap-fit ​​fasteners 24, thus preventing structural interference between the ribbon cable 12 and the snap-fit ​​fasteners 24.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with mounting holes 25 corresponding to the touch buttons 11 on the display panel 1. The touch buttons 11 are exposed on the side of the mounting bracket 2 facing away from the display panel 1 through the mounting holes 25.

[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a clearance notch 26. The mounting position of the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 on the first surface 101 of the display panel 1 corresponds to the clearance notch 26. That is, the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 is located at the clearance notch 26.

[0075] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the cooking appliance is an induction cooker, which includes a base and a top cover 3. The top cover 3 is installed on the base, and the main mounting body is a mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 is fixed on the inner surface of the top cover 3, and the display panel 1 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 2 that is away from the top cover 3.

[0076] Specifically, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with multiple snap fasteners 24 at intervals along its circumference, and the display panel 1 can be snapped into the inner area of ​​the multiple snap fasteners 24; the mounting bracket 2 is provided with multiple mounting holes at intervals, and the mounting bracket 2 can be fixed to the upper cover 3 by fasteners 4 passing through the mounting holes.

[0077] Understandably, for ease of user operation, the display panel 1 is typically mounted on the inner side of the front end of the top cover 3. (Refer to...) Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 is located on the lower side of the display panel 1, and relatively close to the lower edge of the upper cover 3. The area indicated by arrow c in the figure is the space area on the upper cover 3 located below the display panel 1. This space area is relatively small, causing the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 to be unable to exit directly from this space area. Therefore, the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 is routed along the second surface 102 of the display panel 1 and exits from the right side (or the left side) of the display panel 1. The area indicated by arrow d in the figure is the space area on the right side of the upper cover 3 located on the display panel 1. This space area is relatively large, allowing the ribbon cable 12 of the display panel 1 to exit from this space area.

[0078] This configuration ensures the normal routing of the ribbon cable 12 while minimizing or avoiding the touch button 11 during its routing process. This effectively reduces signal and physical interference caused by the ribbon cable 12 during signal transmission to the touch button 11, thereby ensuring the reliability of the touch button 11 and reducing the occurrence of button failure.

[0079] Of course, in practice, the display panel 1 is not limited to being mounted on the mounting bracket 2; it can also be mounted on other parts of the cooking appliance as needed.

[0080] In some embodiments, the mounting body is the housing of a cooking appliance, that is, the display panel is directly mounted on the housing of the cooking appliance; specifically, a recessed receiving groove is provided on the outer side of the housing, and the display panel 1 is mounted in the receiving groove from the outside of the housing, and a wire hole for the ribbon cable 12 to pass through is provided on the bottom wall or side wall of the receiving groove.

[0081] By opening a through hole on the bottom or side wall of the receiving groove for the ribbon cable 12 to pass through, the ribbon cable 12 can extend out of the display panel 1 from the side and then pass through the through hole on the housing. The through hole can limit the routing of the ribbon cable 12. That is, the through hole can be used to form a regular positioning of the ribbon cable 12 to restrict the ribbon cable 12 from running along a predetermined position. This allows the ribbon cable 12 to better avoid components such as the touch button 11 on the display panel 1, thereby reducing the physical obstruction and interference of the ribbon cable 12 to the components.

[0082] Of course, the main body of the installation can also include a mounting bracket and a housing. The display panel 1 can be installed on the mounting bracket first, and then installed together with the mounting bracket in the receiving groove formed by the recess on the outer side of the housing, which can also realize the installation of the display panel 1 on the cooking appliance.

[0083] In addition, the display panel 1 can also be directly installed inside the housing of the cooking appliance.
