For example, the control panel 11 may be heat-dissipated by the heat dissipation module 13, and the air flow may be circulated through the heat dissipation module 13 by natural circulation of air or by driving with a driving mechanism, so that the control panel 11 is heat-dissipated when the air flow passes through the control panel 11. For another example, the heat dissipation module 13 is used to dissipate heat of other components in the cooking device, and the heat dissipation module 13 for dissipating heat of other components in the cooking device can be integrated with the panel assembly 10, so that the integration of the cooking device can be effectively improved, and the structures of the panel assembly 10 and the cooking device can be simplified. Of course, the heat dissipation module 13 of the present invention may also be configured to dissipate heat of the control panel 11 and other components in the cooking device, which will be described in other contents of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, in some examples of the present invention, the control panel 11 is configured to have a box shape with an opening facing the heat dissipation module 13, and a heat dissipation hole 103 is provided on a sidewall of the control panel 11, and the heat dissipation hole 103 is configured to be suitable for an airflow guided by the heat dissipation module 13 to pass through.

Wherein, the heat dissipation hole 103 arranged on the control panel 11 can facilitate the air flow circulation, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and effect.

In addition, the heat dissipation holes 103 are disposed on the side wall of the control panel 11, so as to avoid reducing the airflow blowing toward the appearance panel 12, effectively improve the display effect of the appearance panel 12, improve the appearance display effect of the panel assembly 10, and reduce the possibility of generating condensation on the appearance panel 12.

In the present invention, the air flow may flow from the heat dissipation module 13 to the inside of the control panel 11 and flow out from the heat dissipation hole 103, or the air flow may be set to flow from the heat dissipation hole 103 to the inside of the control panel 11 and flow out from the heat dissipation module 13. Of course, the selection can be performed according to the actual situation, so as to achieve the purpose of simplifying the structure or improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

As described above, the heat dissipation module 13 in the present invention may circulate in a manner of forced airflow convection and natural convection, and may be adjusted according to the actual heat generation amount and different objects of the heat dissipation module 13 for heat dissipation, wherein in some embodiments of the present invention, the heat dissipation module is configured to dissipate heat in a manner of forced airflow convection, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

Thus, the air flow can be driven by the heat dissipation fan 132 to circulate along the heat dissipation air duct 102, for example, the air flow can be driven by the air flow to blow toward the control panel 11 through the heat dissipation air duct 102; the air flow can also be driven to be drawn away in a direction away from the heat dissipation air duct 102.

In combination with the foregoing embodiment, the heat dissipation module 13 may be configured to dissipate heat of other components (for example, a hot air device in an oven), and the gap 104 is provided between the appearance panel 12 and the control panel 11, and the gap 104 is set to be empty or filled with a medium, so that heat transfer between the control panel 11 and the appearance panel 12 can be reduced. Particularly, when the heat dissipation module 13 is used to dissipate heat of other components in the cooking apparatus, the temperature of the control panel 11 rises relatively faster, and therefore, by providing the gap 104 or filling the medium between the appearance panel 12 and the control panel 11, the temperature rise rate of the appearance panel 12 can be further reduced.

The heat dissipation fan 132 can drive the air flow to circulate along the heat dissipation air duct 102, wherein the heat dissipation air duct 102 is communicated with the control panel 11, and therefore, the air flow will pass through the heat dissipation panel during the circulation process. For example, the heat dissipation fan 132 drives the airflow to circulate from back to front, and the airflow flows to the control panel 11 after passing through the heat dissipation air duct 102, and then can circulate from the heat dissipation holes 103 on the heat dissipation panel; for another example, the heat dissipation fan 132 drives the airflow to circulate from front to back, that is, the airflow will enter the control panel 11 from the heat dissipation hole 103, then flow to the heat dissipation fan 132 along the heat dissipation air duct 102, and then be sent out from the heat dissipation fan 132. By arranging the heat dissipation air duct 102, heat dissipation of components connected with the heat dissipation module 13 can be realized, the heat dissipation effect of the cooking device is improved, and the operation stability of the cooking device is effectively improved.
