Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stove equipment technology, and in particular to a stove connection structure, a stove and a stove-steam-bake combination machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of IoT technology and smart homes, the intelligence level of cooktops is increasing daily. Common cooktop structures mainly consist of two parts: the cooktop panel and the cooktop chassis. To enhance user experience and product competitiveness, modern smart cooktops integrate more and more functional modules into both the panel and chassis. Therefore, an electrical connection needs to be established between the panel and chassis for power supply and signal communication. Current technology generally uses connecting cables, i.e., a wire harness integrating multiple power and signal lines, which connect to the modules on the panel and chassis respectively.

[0003] However, this traditional wiring harness connection method requires cumbersome wiring. The complex wiring harness is also prone to being squeezed or worn during assembly, leading to potential failures. When the product needs after-sales repair, the repair personnel must first disconnect and plug in multiple sets of connectors and wiring harnesses before they can separate the panel from the chassis. This process is limited by the operating space and poor visibility, which can easily cause secondary damage, greatly increasing the difficulty, risk and time cost of repair. Utility Model Content

By setting upper and lower couplers on the main control board and the sub-control board respectively, and replacing the traditional wire harness connection method with a connection of pins and springs, the connection between the panel and the chassis, and the communication connection between the main control board and the sub-control board are realized.

[0023] This application provides a stove connection structure. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a stove connection structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the stove connection structure includes a panel 1, a chassis 2, a main control board 11, a secondary control board 21, an interaction unit 12, a functional unit 22, and an upper and lower coupler 3.

[0024] In this embodiment of the application, the panel 1 and the chassis 2 are arranged in parallel. The panel 1 is specifically configured as a glass panel 1, and the chassis 2 is specifically configured as a U-shaped structure made of sheet metal, forming a receiving cavity in the middle. After the panel 1 and the chassis 2 are assembled, the receiving cavity can accommodate the various unit modules on the panel 1 and the chassis 2.

[0025] Specifically, the main control board 11 and the interaction unit 12 are disposed on the surface of the panel 1 facing the chassis 2. The main control board 11 and the interaction unit 12 are connected in communication. The interaction unit 12 is used to realize functions such as human-computer interaction.

[0026] Specifically, the secondary control board 21 and the functional unit 22 are located on the surface of the chassis 2 facing the panel 1. The secondary control board 21 and the functional unit 22 are connected in communication. The functional unit 22 is used to realize the basic functions of the stove.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the upper and lower couplers 3 include an upper coupler pin 31 and a lower coupler spring 32. The upper coupler pin 31 is disposed on the surface of the main control board 11 facing the sub-control board 21, and the lower coupler spring 32 is disposed on the surface of the sub-control board 21 facing the main control board 11.

[0028] When the upper coupler pin 31 is inserted into the lower coupler spring 32, the main control board 11 and the secondary control board 21 are connected, and the panel 1 is connected to the chassis 2.

[0029] When assembling the stove, simply connect the main control board 11 and the interaction unit 12, and the secondary control board 21 and the function unit 22 respectively, and then insert the upper coupler pin 31 into the lower coupler spring 32 to achieve quick assembly of the panel 1 and the chassis 2. For subsequent maintenance, simply pull out the upper coupler pin 31 from the lower coupler spring 32 to completely separate the panel 1 from the chassis 2, thus enabling unobstructed and barrier-free maintenance.

[0030] With the above settings, upper and lower couplers 3 are respectively set on the main control board 11 and the secondary control board 21. The connection method of the pin and spring contact is replaced by the traditional wire harness connection method, realizing the connection between the panel 1 and the chassis 2, and the communication connection between the main control board 11 and the secondary control board 21. There is no need to run wire harnesses, which improves the production and assembly efficiency of the stove. The panel 1 and the chassis 2 can be completely separated and disassembled, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a stove connection structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the interaction unit 12 includes a human sensing module, a tapping module, and a WIFI module. The human sensing module can be specifically configured as a personnel detection sensor to detect whether there is human activity within a certain range, so that the main control board 11 can adjust the firepower, the on / off state of buttons on the panel 1, etc., based on the human activity. The tapping module can be specifically configured as a vibration sensor to detect vibration signals generated by the user tapping a specific area of ​​the panel 1, so that the main control board 11 can control the power on / off, and activate other appliances such as the dishwasher and steam oven based on the user's tapping. The WIFI module connects the main control board 11 of the stove to the home wireless local area network (Wi-Fi), thereby enabling data exchange and linkage with the Internet, smartphone applications, smart home ecosystems, and other smart devices.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a stove connection structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3As shown, in one optional embodiment, functional unit 22 includes an ignition module, a fan module, and a valve body module. The valve body module is used to precisely control the gas flow rate, adjusting the opening based on the control of the sub-control board 21 to regulate the gas flow rate. The ignition module is used to generate a high-voltage electric spark based on instructions from the sub-control board 21 to ignite the gas. The fan module is used to provide combustion air based on instructions from the sub-control board 21 and to forcibly exhaust the exhaust gas produced during combustion to ensure efficient combustion and stable firepower.

[0033] In this application, the secondary control board 21 mainly controls the ignition of the stove, and its functions are relatively fixed, making it a standard module. The main control board 11 has different functions and user interface for each product, requiring redevelopment. Separating the two reduces the development cycle, allowing the standardized secondary control board 21 to be paired with different main control boards 11. The main control board 11 has abundant chip resources, communicates with the cloud via a WIFI module, and communicates with related human sensing modules and tapping modules. The program has high real-time performance and convenient logic processing.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the size of the lower coupler spring 32 is larger than the size of the upper coupler pin 31. By increasing the effective contact area, the risk of poor contact or momentary interruption caused by misalignment is reduced, ensuring the stability of power and signal transmission. Even if there are slight assembly deviations during the closing process of the panel 1 or positional shifts after long-term use, the larger contact area of ​​the spring can ensure that the upper pin can still fall stably into its effective contact range.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the upper and lower couplers 3 include multiple sets of upper coupler pins 31 and multiple sets of corresponding lower coupler springs 32. The redundant upper and lower couplers 3 further ensure a reliable connection between the main control board 11 and the sub-control board 21.

[0036] In one optional embodiment, multiple sets of upper coupler pins 31 are spaced apart, and multiple sets of lower coupler contacts 32 are spaced apart. The spaced-apart pins and contacts maintain sufficient spacing, effectively preventing the risk of short circuits between different circuits due to dust or moisture accumulation.

[0037] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the cooktop connection structure further includes a limiting component 4, which is disposed on the surface of the panel 1 facing the chassis 2, and is used to limit the relative positional relationship between the chassis 2 and the panel 1. Since the upper and lower couplers 3 are disposed inside the receiving cavity, their relative positions cannot be clearly seen during installation. The limiting component 4 can play a leading role in the initial stage of lid closing, quickly guiding the chassis 2 to the approximately correct position below the panel 1, avoiding damage to the upper and lower couplers 3 caused by misalignment.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, the limiting component 4 specifically includes multiple limiting blocks. The size of the panel 1 is larger than the size of the chassis 2. The multiple limiting blocks are arranged along the edge of the panel 1. When the multiple limiting blocks abut against the periphery of the chassis 2, the upper coupler pin 31 corresponds to the lower coupler spring 32. When the periphery of the chassis 2 abuts against all the limiting blocks, the chassis 2 is precisely limited to a predetermined position below the panel 1. At this time, the upper coupler pin 31 and the lower coupler spring 32 have achieved precise alignment on the horizontal plane, greatly improving the operational efficiency and experience during production assembly and after-sales maintenance.

[0039] In one alternative embodiment, the cooktop connection structure further includes a locking assembly for locking the panel 1 and the chassis 2. After an electrical connection is established via the upper and lower couplers 3, the locking assembly provides a robust mechanical locking force to the panel 1 and the chassis 2, preventing them from becoming loose due to external vibration or accidental impact.

[0040] Specifically, the sheet metal chassis 2 has a folded edge with through holes, and the glass panel 1 has a connector on its bottom surface with through holes. The locking assembly can be configured as a bolt assembly, which can pass through the folded edge and the through holes on the connector to lock the panel 1 and the chassis 2.

[0041] This application also provides a stove, including the stove connection structure described above.

[0042] This application embodiment also provides a stove-steam-oven combination machine, including the above-mentioned stove and steam oven, with the steam oven located below the stove.

[0043] By setting upper and lower couplers 3 on the main control board 11 and the secondary control board 21 respectively, and replacing the traditional wire harness connection method with the connection of pins and springs, the connection between the panel 1 and the chassis 2 and the communication connection between the main control board 11 and the secondary control board 21 are realized. There is no need to run wire harnesses, which improves the production and assembly efficiency of the stove and the stove-steam-grill combination machine. The panel 1 and the chassis 2 can be completely separated and disassembled for easy maintenance.
