Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display structure technology, and in particular to a display structure for an induction cooker. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional induction cookers typically employ an LED light source combined with an icon overlay design. The LED illuminates the icon to provide a visual cue and facilitate user operation of the corresponding function. However, in this design, the icon appears as a small, focused dot when the LED is lit. Because the overlay has a certain thickness and obstructive properties, the effective transmission area of the LED light source is significantly limited. This results in noticeable light loss after passing through the overlay, significantly reducing the focusing effect. Especially in bright kitchen environments, users may find it difficult to quickly identify the function status due to the blurred icon display, impacting ease of operation. On the other hand, another display structure for traditional induction cookers involves illuminating corresponding icons and performing corresponding functions via operation buttons. These icon controls largely rely on physical buttons, requiring repeated pressing to switch functions. Over time, the mechanical contacts of these buttons are prone to wear and oxidation, leading to poor contact. Furthermore, the gap between the button casing and the base widens with repeated use, eventually causing the buttons to malfunction. This not only reduces the lifespan of the induction cooker but also inconveniences users during daily cooking.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0018] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an induction cooker display structure, which includes a functional component 1, a mounting frame 2, and an icon component 3. The mounting frame 2 includes a connecting frame 21 and an operation area 22. The connecting frame 21 is located at the front end of the operation area 22, the functional component 1 is located at the bottom of the operation area 22, and the icon component 3 is a color film structure located at the top of the operation area 22. The color film structure not only provides rich colors, making the patterns on the icon component 3 clear and aesthetically pleasing, but also possesses properties such as insulation, heat conduction, and corrosion resistance, making the icon component 3 safer and more durable.
[0020] The functional component 1 includes a substrate 11, surface-mount LEDs 12, and a touch spring 13. A plurality of surface-mount LEDs 12 are distributed on the substrate 11. The substrate 11 has a plurality of control areas 111 and a display area 112. The control area 22 includes a plurality of control frames 221 adapted to the control areas 111 and a plurality of display frames 222 adapted to the display areas 112. A plurality of surface-mount LEDs 12 are fitted within the control frames 221 and the display frames 222. Each control frame 221 and display frame 222 has multiple surface-mount LEDs 12, making the icon component 3 more illuminated and clearer.
[0021] The touch spring 13 is also installed inside the control frame 221 and on the base plate 11, with the icon component 3 located on the upper end of the touch spring 13. The touch spring 13 enhances the spring's ability to capture signals, allowing users to accurately operate the corresponding functions by lightly touching the icon component 3, resulting in a better touch experience.
[0022] Therefore, the induction cooker display structure proposed in this utility model not only makes the icons brighter when lit, but also has a touch spring, so that users can operate the corresponding functions by touching the icons with their fingers.
[0023] Specifically, the icon component 3 consists of several icon stickers, which are affixed to the corresponding control frame 221 and display frame 222. The icon component 3 is designed so that users can perform corresponding operations by touching the corresponding icon as needed.
[0024] Furthermore, the touch spring 13 is a rectangular or square multi-turn serpentine wire structure adapted to the shape of the control frame 221, and is made of metal wire through bending. This multi-turn serpentine structure not only provides better elasticity but also improves sensing sensitivity, allowing for more precise user operation.
[0025] It is worth noting that the height of the touch spring 13 is higher than the height of the control frame 221. The icon component 3 is attached to the control frame 221 around its perimeter and in close contact with the top of the touch spring 13 in its center. The lower end of the touch spring 13 is welded to the substrate 11. This design prevents the touch spring 13 from shifting, making it more durable and allowing for more precise operation. Furthermore, it provides a more noticeable tactile feedback for the user, avoiding operational errors caused by incorrect touch positioning.
[0026] Furthermore, the functional component 1 also includes a display screen 4, a capacitor component 5, and a control system 6. The substrate 11, the surface-mount LED beads 12, the touch spring 13, the display screen 4, and the capacitor component 5 are all electrically connected to the control system 6. This makes the induction cooker more automated and easier for users to operate.
[0027] Furthermore, the control area 111 includes a switch area 1111, a function area 1112, a time area 1113, a heating area 1114, and a cooling area 1115. The most frequently used operations for the induction cooker are designed for the control area 111, facilitating quick and easy operation. Simultaneously, the display area 112 includes several cooking method prompt areas 1121, allowing users to clearly see the selected function when operating the function area 1112 as needed. The display screen 4 is positioned between the heating area 1114 and the cooling area 1115, and is connected to the surface-mount LEDs 12 for each function on both the control area 111 and the display area 112. This allows the display screen 4 to promptly display the corresponding illuminated icon from the surface-mount LED 12, providing dual reminders for accurate user operation.
[0028] Furthermore, the icon component 3 is made of a semi-transparent material, while the operation area 22 is made of an opaque material. When the small LED chip 12 is lit, it emits light. Because the operation area 22 is opaque, light can only shine in the direction of the icon component 3; the semi-transparent nature of the icon component 3 allows more light to escape through it. Therefore, even in a brightly lit kitchen environment, users can easily and quickly identify the function status, improving operational convenience.
[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting frame 21 is provided with several connecting posts 211 for connecting to the bottom shell of the induction cooker. This makes the connection between the connecting frame 21 and the induction cooker more stable.
[0030] Furthermore, the connecting frame 21 is a hollow frame with several grooves 212 on its upper part. This not only enhances the aesthetics but also increases friction around the induction cooker, providing a more stable grip when the user moves it. A first slope 223 is provided at the connection between the operating area 22 and the connecting frame 21, sloping downwards from the operating area 22 towards the connecting frame 21. This prevents liquid from overflowing from the cookware on the induction cooker and flowing into the operating area 22, thus extending the overall lifespan of the components in the operating area.
[0031] The operating area 22 is a second slope, sloping downwards along the connecting frame 21 towards its bottom edge. Side walls 224 are provided on both sides of the operating area 22, with the length of the side walls 224 decreasing along the slope direction of the operating area 22. This second slope design not only allows liquids to flow quickly away from the operating area 22, preventing them from accumulating on the icon component 3 and damaging the corresponding parts, but also makes it easier for users to view the icon component 3 more clearly.
[0032] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
