When the inner pot is arranged in the inner pot accommodating cavity of the cooker body, the lower temperature sensing device can sense the temperature of the bottom wall of the inner pot, and for example, the lower temperature sensing device can be in direct or indirect contact with the bottom wall.

The cover 100 of the cooking appliance according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 7.

Reference is first made to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The cover body 100 includes a cover 110, a lamp panel 120, a key frame 130, and a decorative sheet 140. The face cover 110 is provided with a mounting portion 111. In the present embodiment, the mounting portion 111 may be a mounting groove recessed downward. The lamp panel 120 and the key frame 130 are both disposed on the mounting portion 111, the key frame 130 is disposed on the outer side of the lamp panel 120, and the decorative sheet 140 is mounted on the front cover 110 and covers the mounting portion 111. Specifically, lamp plate 120 and key frame 130 all are located the mounting groove, and key frame 130 is located lamp plate 120 top, and decorative sheet 140 is located the top of key frame 130.

Among them, the key frame 130 is preferably made of a translucent material, such as translucent plastic, and the transparency thereof may be 20% to 30%. The decorative sheet 140 may also be preferably made of a translucent material, such as translucent plastic, etc., and illustratively, the transparency of the decorative sheet 140 may be 20% to 30% as same as that of the key frame 130, and other ranges of transparency may be selected as needed.

The light panel 120 is provided with a light emitting element 121, and light emitted therefrom can penetrate through the key frame 130 and then be projected onto the decorative sheet 140 to form a light spot 122. The light spot 122 is observed by the user because the decorative sheet 140 can partially transmit light.

The key frame 130 includes a body 136 and a cover part 131, the cover part 131 is configured as a blind hole having a thinned top wall 132, and the thinned top wall 132 covers the light emitting element 121. That is, the position of the thinned top wall 132 corresponds to the position of the light emitting element 121.

Specifically, refer to fig. 2, 3, 4, and 5. The cap portion 131 includes side walls 135 and the above-described thinned top wall 132. The side wall 135 is circumferentially disposed at the bottom of the thinned top wall 132. Alternatively, the sidewall 135 is disposed along the circumference of the thinned top wall 132 and extends toward the light emitting element 121. Thus, the lamp cover portion 131 can be formed into a groove shape with its mouth facing downward, and the blind hole is formed in the inner space thereof. The cover portion 131 is sleeved to the light emitting element 121, so that at least part of the light emitting element 121 is located in the blind hole. Therefore, the light emitted by the light emitting element 121 can be blocked by the lampshade portion 131 as much as possible, and the phenomenon of light leakage and light fleeing is reduced.

Preferably, the thinned top wall 132 includes a main body portion 133 and a thin portion 134, the thin portion 134 being located in the middle of the main body portion 133. Or the body portion 133 surrounds the thin-walled portion 134. The thickness of the thin portion 134 is smaller than that of the main body portion 133, and the thin portion 134 covers the light emitting element 121. That is, the position of the thin portion 134 corresponds to the position of the light emitting element 121.

According to the cover body 100 of the present invention, the light emitting element 121 is surrounded by the cover portion 131, and at least a portion of the light emitting element is covered by the thinned top wall 132, so that the enclosed cover portion 131 makes light firstly pass through the thinned top wall 132 and then project to the surface of the cover body 100 to form a light spot to indicate a selected cooking function, and the thinned top wall 132 also diffuses or filters the light to a certain extent, so that the light spot 122 projected to the surface of the cover body 100 is bright and uniform, and thus, the light spot can be used as an indication mark, and a user cannot see a bright wick without light leakage, thereby improving the user experience.

The thickness of the thin wall 134 may be 0.1 to 1.5mm, preferably 0.3 to 1.0 mm. The thickness of the main body 133 may be 1.5 to 3 mm. Further, a surface of the thin portion 134 remote from the light emitting element 121 is preferably flush with a surface of the main body portion 133 remote from the light emitting element 121. That is, the upper surface of the body 133 is flush with the upper surface of the thin portion 134. It will be readily appreciated that the entire upper surface of the key frame 130 may be flush.

Thus, for example, the structure with a thin middle and a thick periphery can form a structure similar to a concave lens, so that the light emitted from the point-shaped light source is converted into approximately parallel light after being refracted by the concave lens structure. Alternatively, the light emitting element 121 may be located at the virtual focus of the concave lens structure.

In an alternative embodiment, the thickness of the main body portion 133 of the thinned top wall 132 may also be less than the thickness of the body 136 of the key frame 130. It is easily understood that, in order to improve the production efficiency, the thickness of the main body 133 may be equal to the thickness of the body 136 of the key frame 130.

When the light emitting element 121 is turned off, as shown in fig. 6, the light spot 122 is not projected on the decorative sheet 140, so that the position of the light emitting element 121 cannot be observed on the decorative sheet 140, and the integrity of the decorative sheet 140 can be highlighted.

When the light emitting element 121 is lit, as shown in fig. 7, almost all of the light emitted from the light emitting element 121 is blocked and absorbed by the cover portion 131. Since the thickness of the side wall 135 and the main body 133 of the thinned top wall 132 is relatively thick, almost all of the light rays directed to the side wall 135 and the main body are blocked, absorbed, or scattered, and a small portion of the light rays are refracted to the thin wall 134 of the thinned top wall 132. The light emitted to the thin wall portion 134 is uniformly projected to the decorative sheet 140 in the form of approximately parallel light by the scattering and refraction, so that the visible uniform and bright light spots 122 are formed on the surface of the decorative sheet 140. The concentration of light is reduced or the light seen by the user is converted from a radiation form to an approximately parallel form, so that the view of a shining wick can be avoided.

Thus, the illuminated structure on the underside of the translucent trim panel 140 may be displayed through the trim panel 140, while the other non-illuminated or illuminated structure on the underside of the translucent trim panel 140 may appear less visible from the view of the trim panel 140 due to the filtering effect of the translucent material.

In addition, the decorative sheet 140 is preferably provided with a prompt area 141, and the prompt area 141 is located near the projection light spot 122 of the thinned top wall 132 on the decorative sheet 140. For example, the prompt field 141 may also be provided on a key. The prompt area 141 may be provided with a mark such as a text or a pattern to facilitate the prompt operation.
