The present application provides a cooking appliance, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the cooking appliance according to an embodiment of the present application includes a pot body 1 and a pot cover (not numbered), and the pot cover covers the pot body 1 to form a cooking cavity. The pot body 1 comprises a shell 11, a base 12, a heat preservation cover 13, an inner pot 14 and a heating device 15, wherein the base 12 is installed at the bottom of the shell 11, the heat preservation cover 13 is arranged in a cavity formed by the shell 11 and the base 12, the inner pot 14 is placed in the heat preservation cover 13 and can be taken out for cleaning, and the heating device 15 is arranged between the heat preservation cover 13 and the bottom of the inner pot 14. The application still provides a control panel subassembly, and the control panel subassembly can be used to aforementioned cooking utensil, sets up on the shell 11 of the pot body 1, and the consumer passes through control panel subassembly control cooking utensil's culinary art work.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a partial enlarged view of a portion a in fig. 2, and the control board assembly includes a control board 2 and a key holder 3 located at one side of the control board 2. The control panel 2 includes a printed circuit board and various electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board, including a plurality of key switches 21. The key-holder 3 is provided with a first side 31 facing the control panel 2 and a second side 32 facing away from the control panel 2. The key support 3 is provided with a plurality of key posts 33 corresponding to the plurality of key switches 21, and the key posts 33 are located at the first side surface 31 and aligned with the key switches 21.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a partial enlarged view of fig. 3, showing a detailed structure of a matching portion of the key post 33 and the key switch 21, wherein an end surface 34 is disposed at a terminal of the key post 33 close to the control board 2, the key post 33 can move towards the control board 2 when being pressed, the end surface 34 presses against the key switch 21 to trigger the key switch 21 to send a signal, and the control system receives a relevant signal and then controls the cooking appliance to execute a corresponding program operation.

The key post 33 is further provided with a guide portion 35 adjacent to the end surface 34, and the guide portion 35 cooperates with the key switch 21 to guide the key post 33 to move toward the key switch 21. By the guidance of the guiding part 35, the key post 33 can keep the state of being aligned with the key switch 21 in the pressed moving process, and the problem of key depression or dead-stop caused by the deflection of the key post 33 is avoided.

In one embodiment, the guide portion 35 is a rib 36 located around the end surface 34, and the rib 36 protrudes from the end surface 34 toward the push switch 21. The guide 35 in the form of the stop rib 36 is simple in construction and easy to manufacture. After the control board 2 and the key holder 3 are assembled with each other, the blocking rib 36 is located around the key switch 21 and is in limit fit with the key switch 21 to prevent the key holder 3 from deflecting relative to the key switch 21.

As an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the distance L1 that the rib 36 of the key post 33 protrudes from the end surface 34 is greater than the distance L2 between the end surface 34 and the key switch 21. The design enables the stop rib 36 to have enough size, so that even if the key column 33 is not pressed, the key switch 21 and the key column 33 still partially overlap in the pressing direction, the stop rib 36 can be ensured to be always matched with the key switch 21, the key column 33 can be always guided, and the key column 33 is effectively prevented from deflecting.

The specific shape and configuration of the ribs 36 can vary. As one embodiment, shown in connection with FIG. 5, the bead 36 is annular and is disposed about the end surface 34. The outer side surface of the rib 36 and the outer side surface of the key post 33 can be arranged in a coplanar manner, so that the structure is simplified. A guide cavity 37 is formed at the end of the key post 33, and the key switch 21 protrudes into the guide cavity 37 to cooperate with the guide cavity 37 to guide the key post 33. As mentioned above, the rib 36 is designed to be long enough to keep the key switch 21 in the guiding cavity 37, and the rib 36 will abut against the side of the key switch 21 no matter the key post 33 is deflected in any direction, so as to limit and adjust the position of the key post 33, and ensure the key post 33 is aligned with the key switch 21. The rib 36 forms a guide cavity 37, and the guide cavity 37 receives the push switch 21 to form a reliable interaction and guiding function. The ribs 36 may be arranged continuously or in a ring shape at intervals.

In one embodiment, a groove 38 is formed between the rib 36 and the end surface 34, and the groove 38 is annular and disposed around the end surface 34. The groove 38 can avoid the problem of stress concentration at the connection between the rib 36 and the key post 33.

In one embodiment, the guiding cavity 37 is cylindrical, the key switch 21 is cylindrical, the guiding cavity 37 is aligned with the central axis of the key switch 21, and the diameter of the guiding cavity 37 is larger than that of the key switch 21, so that a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the guiding cavity 37 and the outer peripheral wall of the key switch 21, and the guiding cavity 37 and the key switch 21 are in clearance fit, thereby avoiding unnecessary interference between the key post 33 and the key switch 21 when moving.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the key holder 3 is formed by injection molding of plastic material and is configured in an arc plate shape in accordance with the annular shape of the casing 11 of the pot body 1. The key support 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 39, and the other end of the key post 33 far away from the control board 2 is arranged in the through holes 39 through the elastic cantilever 310. The elastic cantilever 310 is approximately in an S shape horizontally laid in the through hole 39, and the middle section of the S shape is connected with the side surface of the key column 33; the resilient cantilever 310 has resilience to allow the key post 33 to reciprocate perpendicular to the key holder 3, i.e., toward the control board 2. When the key post 33 is pressed by an external force, it moves toward the key switch 21, and the elastic cantilever 310 deforms; after the external force is removed, the elastic cantilever 310 drives the key post 33 to reset. The key post 33 is movably disposed by the elastic cantilever 310 to be capable of reciprocating.

The key holder 3 is further provided with a plurality of snap arms 311 around the key holder 3. The housing 11 is provided with a mounting cavity 110, the mounting cavity 110 is provided with a bottom wall 111 and an opening 112, and the housing 11 is provided with a plurality of fastening holes 113 around the mounting cavity 110. When assembling, the control board 2 is mounted on the bottom wall 111, the snap arms 311 of the key holder 3 are snap-fitted with the snap holes 113, and the key holder 3 is assembled at the opening 112 of the mounting cavity 110.

The control board assembly further includes a panel (not shown), which is also arc-shaped and is attached to a side of the key holder 3 opposite to the control board 2, i.e., the second side 32, and covers the second side 32 of the key holder 3 as a whole. The panel is also provided with keys (not shown) corresponding to the key holders 3 for the pressing operation of the consumer. The panel can make the control panel assembly more neat and simple, improve the appearance aesthetic feeling, and can also avoid dust pollution to the control panel 2 and the key support 3.
