Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking equipment, and in particular to a water tank and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for quality of life increase, users of cooking appliances such as steam ovens and grills not only require basic cooking functions but also decorative lighting to enhance the home and indicate usage locations. While some steam ovens on the market have illuminated structures, such as illuminated handles, the wiring for these handles must be routed from the main unit through concealed parts inside or outside the hinges. This wiring is prone to bending and wear when the door is opened and closed, affecting its lifespan. Furthermore, replacing and repairing illuminated handles after malfunction is cumbersome, requiring the disassembly of numerous components. Similarly, if an illuminated structure is to be installed in the water tank area to meet decorative and reminder needs, current technology struggles to provide convenient power between the water tank and the cooking appliance body, and it is also impossible to achieve stable illumination while ensuring the water tank can be detached for filling. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water tank and cooking equipment that can achieve stable light emission, reliable structure, and convenient maintenance and replacement to address the above problems.

[0004] This utility model first provides a water tank for use in cooking equipment, the cooking equipment including a tank body, comprising:

[0005] The main body is detachably mounted on the housing;

[0006] A light-emitting component is disposed at the front end of the body; and,

[0007] The driving circuit includes a first conductive terminal and a second conductive terminal. The first conductive terminal is disposed on the body and electrically connected to the light-emitting component. The second conductive terminal is disposed on the housing and detachably electrically connected to the first conductive terminal.

[0008] This configuration allows the cabinet to supply power to the light-emitting component via a detachable electrical connection between the first and second conductive terminals of the drive circuit. This enables the light-emitting component to emit light at the front of the main body, meeting the needs of home lighting decoration and reminding users of the location of the water tank. At the same time, since the light-emitting component is located on the main body, the wires do not need to be routed through the door hinge, avoiding the problem of wire bending and wear caused by opening and closing the door, thus extending the service life of the wires. Furthermore, when the light-emitting component or the main body malfunctions, only the main body needs to be disassembled for repair or replacement.

[0009] In one embodiment, the body has a wiring channel extending along the depth direction of the body, and the two ends of the wiring channel are respectively connected to the first conductive end and the light-emitting component. The first conductive end is electrically connected to the light-emitting component through a wire disposed in the wiring channel.

[0010] With this configuration, the wiring channel is located on the side along the depth direction of the main body, providing dedicated space for the wires connecting the first conductive terminal and the light-emitting component. This prevents the wires from being randomly arranged inside the main body and coming into contact with other structures or water, thus preventing short circuits due to water contact or wear due to friction with other structures and extending the service life of the wires.

[0011] In one embodiment, the water tank further includes a touch component, which includes a touch element and a control component. The control component is electrically connected to both the touch element and the driving circuit. The control component is used to receive touch signals emitted by the touch element and control the light-emitting component.

[0012] With this setup, users can send touch signals to the control component via the touchpad. Upon receiving the signal, the control component controls the drive circuit, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the light-emitting component or adjusting the light color, achieving convenient control of the light-emitting component and meeting users' needs to adjust the light status according to their own preferences.

[0013] In one embodiment, the front end of the body is provided with a mounting groove near the bottom of the body, and the touch element is disposed in the mounting groove.

[0014] This design provides a dedicated mounting location for the touch component, enabling it to be positioned and secured, preventing displacement or detachment during use, and improving the stability of the touch component installation.

[0015] In one embodiment, the touch element is snapped onto the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0016] This design eliminates the need for additional fixing components such as screws and adhesives, simplifying the assembly process between the touch component and the main body, reducing assembly costs and difficulty, and improving production efficiency.

[0017] In one embodiment, the touch element is a capacitive sensor; and / or, the touch element is a touchpad extending along the width direction of the body.

[0018] With this configuration, the capacitive sensor identifies touch signals by sensing changes in capacitance when the human body touches the object. This eliminates the need for the user to apply significant pressure; control can be achieved with just a slight touch, improving the sensitivity and comfort of touch operation. The touchpad, which extends along the width of the body, increases the touch sensing area, enhancing the convenience and accuracy of touch operation.

[0019] In one embodiment, the touch element is a frosted semi-transparent element, and the light-emitting component is disposed on the side of the touch element close to the body.

[0020] This design allows the frosted, semi-transparent touch panel to diffuse the light emitted by the light-emitting component, preventing it from being too glaring. The light-emitting component is positioned on the side of the touch panel closest to the main body, where it can be shielded by the touch panel, preventing it from being directly exposed and protecting it from damage caused by impacts, dust contamination, or water splashes, thus extending its lifespan.

[0021] In one embodiment, the light-emitting component is an LED light strip; and / or, the number of light-emitting components is at least two groups, with each group of light-emitting components arranged at intervals.

[0022] With this configuration, the LED light strip is small in size and thin in thickness, and can be easily installed at the front of the main body; at least two sets of spaced-apart light-emitting components can increase the coverage of the light and make the light at the front of the water tank more uniform.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal are power supply couplers.

[0024] With this configuration, the power supply coupler has excellent detachable electrical connection performance, stable structure, and can withstand wear from repeated disassembly and installation, extending the service life of the first and second conductive terminals and ensuring power supply reliability during long-term use.

[0025] This application also provides a cooking device, including the water tank described above.

[0026] This design allows the cooking equipment to feature a detachable, illuminated water tank. The light emitted by the tank's illuminating components serves both as decorative accents and as a way to indicate the tank's location, enhancing both the practicality and aesthetics of the cooking equipment. Furthermore, since the water tank's wiring does not need to be routed through the door hinges, it avoids the problems of wire bending and wear caused by door opening and closing, extending the lifespan of the internal wiring and reducing the likelihood of equipment malfunction.

The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0038] As people's demands for quality of life increase, users of cooking appliances such as steam ovens and grills not only require basic cooking functions but also decorative lighting to enhance the home and indicate usage locations. While some steam ovens on the market have illuminated structures, such as illuminated handles, the wiring for these handles must be routed from the main unit through concealed parts inside or outside the hinges. This wiring is prone to bending and wear when the door is opened and closed, affecting its lifespan. Furthermore, replacing and repairing illuminated handles after malfunction is cumbersome, requiring the disassembly of numerous components. Similarly, if an illuminated structure is to be installed in the water tank area to meet decorative and reminder needs, current technology struggles to provide convenient power between the water tank and the cooking appliance body, and it is also impossible to achieve stable illumination while ensuring the water tank can be detached for filling.

[0039] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a water tank and cooking equipment. The water tank can achieve stable light emission, has a reliable structure, and is easy to maintain and replace.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, this application provides a water tank for a cooking device. The cooking device includes a housing 4, and the water tank includes a main body 5, a light-emitting component 3, and a driving circuit 2. The main body 5 is detachably mounted on the housing 4. The light-emitting component 3 is located at the front end of the main body 5. The driving circuit 2 includes a first conductive terminal 21 and a second conductive terminal 22. The first conductive terminal 21 is located on the main body 5 and electrically connected to the light-emitting component 3. The second conductive terminal 22 is located on the housing 4 and detachably electrically connected to the first conductive terminal 21. The second conductive terminal 22 can be electrically connected to the power board of the cooking device or directly to an external power source.

[0041] This design allows the main body 5 to be detachably installed on the cooking appliance's housing 4. This facilitates user disassembly of the main body 5 for water filling and also enables the housing 4 to supply power to the light-emitting component 3 via a detachable electrical connection between the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal 22 of the drive circuit 2. This allows the light-emitting component 3 to illuminate at the front of the main body 5, fulfilling the needs of home lighting and indicating the location of the water tank. Furthermore, since the light-emitting component 3 is mounted on the main body 5, the wiring does not need to pass through the door hinge, avoiding bending and wear caused by door opening and closing, thus extending the lifespan of the wiring. Additionally, if the light-emitting component 3 or the main body 5 malfunctions, only the main body 5 needs to be disassembled for repair or replacement, simplifying the repair process and improving efficiency.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the body 5 has a wiring channel 51 extending along the depth direction of the body 5. The two ends of the wiring channel 51 are respectively connected to a first conductive end 21 and a light-emitting component 3. The first conductive end 21 is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 3 through a wire disposed within the wiring channel 51. In the illustrated embodiment, the wiring channel 51 is disposed on the side of the body 5 along the depth direction, and the front end of the body 5 has a wiring groove 511 communicating with the light-emitting component 3. This arrangement, with the wiring channel 51 disposed on the side along the depth direction of the body 5, provides dedicated space for the wires connecting the first conductive end 21 and the light-emitting component 3, preventing the wires from being randomly arranged within the body 5 and coming into contact with other structures or water within the body 5. This prevents the wires from short-circuiting due to water contact or wearing down due to friction with other structures, thus extending the service life of the wires. Meanwhile, the directional extension design of the wiring channel 51 makes the wiring arrangement more orderly, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the wiring later. When it is necessary to repair the wiring or the light-emitting component 3, the wiring position can be quickly found, improving the maintenance efficiency. On the basis of realizing the detachable light-emitting function of the water tank, the safety and stability of the wiring are further guaranteed, and the overall reliability of the water tank is improved.

[0043] In another embodiment, the extension direction and arrangement position of the wiring channel 51 within the body 5 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the wiring channel 51 can be arranged at the end of the body 5 along the width direction of the body 5.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the water tank also includes a touch component, which comprises a touch element 1 and a control component. The control component is electrically connected to both the touch element 1 and the drive circuit 2. The control component receives touch signals from the touch element 1 and controls the light-emitting component 3. With this configuration, the user can send touch signals to the control component by touching the touch element 1. Upon receiving the signal, the control component controls the drive circuit 2, thereby controlling the light-emitting component 3 to turn on, off, or adjust its color, thus achieving convenient control of the light-emitting component 3 and meeting the user's need to adjust the lighting status according to their preferences. When the user does not want the light-emitting function, they can turn off the light-emitting component 3 by touch, improving the user's flexibility. In addition to achieving detachable lighting for the water tank and avoiding wiring issues with the door, the addition of a light control function enhances the user experience. Furthermore, the touch control method eliminates the need for physical buttons, simplifying the structure of the water tank's front end and making the water tank's appearance more concise and aesthetically pleasing.

[0045] Specifically, to prevent touch, the unlock function needs to be used by tapping twice consecutively. Within 30 seconds, a single touch will adjust the color of the light-emitting component 3, while two consecutive touches will turn the light-emitting component 3 on and off. If there is no touch action within 30 seconds, the touch control will automatically exit. The system will retain the state of the previous action by default and store it until the power is turned off and restarted to confirm whether to restore the last setting. Otherwise, the last setting will be used by default.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the main body 5 is provided with a mounting groove 52 near the bottom of the main body 5. The touch element 1 is set in the mounting groove 52, and the front end of the touch element 1 is preferably flush with the outer surface of the front end of the main body 5. This design provides a dedicated mounting position for the touch element 1 in the mounting groove 52, which can position and fix the touch element 1, preventing it from shifting or falling off during use and improving the stability of the touch element 1 installation. Positioning the mounting groove 52 near the bottom of the main body 5 conforms to the user's hand movement habits during daily operation, making it easier for the user to pick up and put down the water tank or operate the touch element 1, thus improving operational convenience. The front end of the touch element 1 being flush with the outer surface of the front end of the main body 5 makes the front surface of the water tank smoother, avoiding damage caused by protrusions or depressions of the touch element 1, and also making the water tank's appearance simpler and more aesthetically pleasing. In addition to achieving convenient control and stable illumination, this design further improves the installation stability, operational convenience, and aesthetic appearance of the water tank.

[0047] In another embodiment, the touch element 1 can be set in other locations on the cooking device according to actual needs, such as the handle of the cooking device for easy user operation.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the touch element 1 is snap-fitted onto the inner wall of the mounting groove 52. Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting groove 52 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 62, and the touch element 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 61 corresponding to the second snap-fit ​​portion 62. This design eliminates the need for additional fixing components such as screws and adhesives, simplifying the assembly process between the touch element 1 and the body 5, reducing assembly costs and difficulty, and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​structure facilitates disassembly and replacement of the touch element 1 in case of future malfunctions. It allows for removal of the touch element 1 without damaging the body 5 or the touch element 1; external force is sufficient to separate the snap-fit ​​structure, reducing maintenance costs and time. Furthermore, it enhances the ease of assembly and maintenance while maintaining stable installation, convenient control, and detachable water tank illumination, thereby reducing costs. The number of first snap-fit ​​portions 61 can be one, two, three, four, or more, with multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 61 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the touch element 1. The number of second snap-fit ​​portions 62 is the same as the number of first snap-fit ​​portions 61, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] In another embodiment, the touch element 1 can be attached to the body 5 by means of adhesive, screwing, magnetic attraction, etc.

[0050] In one embodiment, the touch element 1 is a capacitive sensor. With this configuration, the capacitive sensor identifies touch signals by sensing changes in capacitance when touched by a human body. This eliminates the need for significant pressure from the user; control is achieved with just a slight touch, improving the sensitivity and comfort of touch operation and reducing the effort required by the user. Furthermore, the capacitive sensor has a simple structure and compact size, making it easy to integrate into the front end of the main body 5 without occupying excessive space or complicating the front structure of the water tank. In addition, the capacitive sensor is durable and resistant to wear and failure from prolonged touch operation, extending the lifespan of the touch element 1. In addition to providing convenient control and stable illumination, it further enhances the sensitivity, comfort, and durability of touch operation.

[0051] In another embodiment, the touch element 1 can be designed as a pressure-sensitive sensing structure, a thermal sensing structure, or a photosensitive sensing structure, or other structures capable of transmitting touch signals.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the touch element 1 is a touch panel extending along the width direction of the body 5. This configuration increases the touch sensing area, eliminating the need for precise alignment with a specific location during touch operations. Users can simply touch any area of ​​the touch panel to generate a touch signal, improving the convenience and accuracy of touch operations, especially suitable for quick operations during busy cooking processes. Furthermore, the touch panel's extension along the width direction of the body 5 aligns with the width direction of the front end of the body 5, resulting in a more harmonious structural layout and aesthetically pleasing appearance at the front of the water tank. This avoids the visual disharmony caused by an excessively small or irregularly shaped touch element 1.

[0053] The shape and placement of the touchpad can be designed according to actual needs, such as the square shape shown in the illustration.

[0054] In another implementation, the extension direction of the touchpad can be designed according to actual needs, for example, extending along the height direction of the body 5.

[0055] In one embodiment, the touch element 1 is a frosted semi-transparent part, and the light-emitting component 3 is disposed on the side of the touch element 1 closer to the body 5. This arrangement allows the frosted semi-transparent touch element 1 to diffuse the light emitted by the light-emitting component 3, preventing excessive glare and making the light softer, thus enhancing the comfort and aesthetics of home lighting. Simultaneously, the soft light clearly indicates the location of the water tank to the user without obstructing their view. The light-emitting component 3, being disposed on the side of the touch element 1 closer to the body 5, can be shielded by the touch element 1, preventing direct exposure and protecting it from damage by impacts, dust contamination, or water splashes, thus extending its lifespan. In addition to convenient control and stable light emission, this arrangement further improves the softness of the lighting effect and the safety of the light-emitting component 3.

[0056] In another embodiment, the touch element 1 is a frosted element, and its transparency can be designed according to actual needs.

[0057] In another embodiment, the touch element 1 is a frosted element with adjustable transparency.

[0058] In another embodiment, the light-emitting component 3 can be designed to be arranged separately from the touch component 1 according to actual needs. For example, the light-emitting component 3 can be arranged at the bottom of the water tank to produce a refraction effect.

[0059] In one embodiment, the light-emitting component 3 is an LED light strip. This design allows the LED light strip to be small and thin, easily installed at the front of the main body 5 without taking up too much space, making it suitable for smaller water tank structures and solving the problem of rationally arranging the light source in a smaller water tank structure. The LED light strip has high brightness and low energy consumption, meeting the needs of home lighting decoration and location reminders while reducing power consumption, meeting the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection. At the same time, the LED light strip has a long service life and is not easily damaged, reducing the replacement frequency of the light-emitting component 3 and lowering user operating costs. Building upon the achievement of detachable light emission from the water tank and avoiding the problem of door wiring, it further adapts to the small-volume structural characteristics of the water tank, improving energy efficiency and durability.

[0060] In another implementation, the light-emitting component 3 can be designed as other light-emitting structures such as lamp beads or lamp columns, depending on actual needs.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of light-emitting components 3 is at least two sets, with each set of light-emitting components 3 arranged at intervals. This arrangement, with at least two sets of spaced-apart light-emitting components 3, increases the coverage of the light, making the light at the front of the water tank more uniform and avoiding the possibility of localized over-brightness or under-brightness that might occur with a single light-emitting component 3. This improves the decorative effect of the light and the clarity of the location indicator. Simultaneously, the arrangement of multiple sets of light-emitting components 3 increases the overall brightness of the light. Even if one set of light-emitting components 3 malfunctions, the other sets can still function normally, ensuring that the light function does not completely fail and improving the reliability of the light-emitting function. Furthermore, it enhances the uniformity, aesthetics, and functional reliability of the light while achieving detachable light emission from the water tank and avoiding issues with door wiring.

[0062] In the illustrated embodiment, the light-emitting component 3 is an LED light strip, and two sets of light-emitting components 3 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The parallel and spaced arrangement also makes the light distribution more regular, visually improving the aesthetics of the water tank.

[0063] In another implementation, the number of light-emitting components 3 can be reduced to one set, depending on actual needs.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 are power supply couplers. This configuration provides the power supply coupler with excellent detachable electrical connection performance. When the main body 5 is installed on the housing 4, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 can quickly and accurately connect, achieving stable power supply and ensuring the normal illumination of the light-emitting component 3. When the main body 5 is removed from the housing 4, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 can be easily separated without damage, facilitating user disassembly of the main body 5 for water filling. The power supply coupler has a stable structure, can withstand wear from repeated disassembly and installation, extends the service life of the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22, and ensures reliable power supply during long-term use. In addition to enabling detachable illumination of the water tank and avoiding the problem of door wiring, it further improves the convenience of power access and the stability of power supply.

[0065] In the illustrated embodiment, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 are arranged at the rear end of the bottom of the water tank.

[0066] In another embodiment, depending on actual needs, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 can also be arranged at other locations such as the front end of the bottom of the water tank.

[0067] Specifically, the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal 22 can be designed as pluggable power supply couplers.

[0068] In another embodiment, the first conductive end 21 and the second conductive end 22 can be designed as a plug and socket structure.

[0069] Furthermore, the water tank can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the water tank to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent regulation of the water tank and improving the user experience.

[0070] This application also provides a cooking device including the aforementioned water tank. With this configuration, the cooking device, equipped with the water tank, can achieve a detachable light-emitting function. The light emitted by the water tank's light-emitting component 3 serves both as decorative lighting for the home and as an indicator of the water tank's location, enhancing the practicality and aesthetics of the cooking device. Simultaneously, since the water tank's wiring does not need to be routed through the door hinge, it avoids the problems of wire bending and wear caused by door opening and closing, extending the lifespan of the internal wiring and reducing the probability of malfunction. The detachable design of the water tank also facilitates water filling and maintenance, improving the user experience and ease of repair. Furthermore, if the water tank is equipped with a touch component, the user can conveniently control the status of the light-emitting component 3, further enhancing the flexibility and user satisfaction of the cooking device.

[0071] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
