Preferably, the face cover 120 is further opened with a key hole 122 and a display window 128. The underside of the face cover 120 is also preferably provided with downwardly extending retention formations 127 and window walls 129, corresponding to the location of the key apertures 122 and the display window 128. And the limiting structure 127 is arranged along the periphery of the key hole 122, and the window wall 129 is arranged along the periphery of the display window 128. The control panel 130 further has a button 131 corresponding to the stopper structure 127 and a display 133 corresponding to the display window 128. The button 131 at least partially extends into the limiting structure 127 and passes through the key hole 122 to abut against the lower surface of the operation panel 110, so that the lateral movement of the button 131 can be limited, the assembly is facilitated, the touch operation of a user is facilitated, and the user can directly control the cooking appliance through the operation panel 110. Display screen 133 extends at least partially into window wall 129, thereby limiting lateral movement of display screen 133 and facilitating assembly. Because window wall 129 primarily serves a limiting function, window wall 129 may also be considered a limiting structure to some extent.

To further improve the convenience of assembly, it is preferable that the control board 130 is configured to be able to be snapped to the face cover 120. Specifically, the bottom side of the face cover 120 is further provided with a second clamping portion 125 extending downward. Correspondingly, the control board 130 is provided with a second fitting portion 134 capable of forming a snap connection with the second snap connection portion 125.

Alternatively stated, the side walls 142 and the girth 143 extend upwardly from the bottom wall 141. The sidewall 142 and the bead 143 are spaced apart, so that the sidewall 142, the bottom wall 141 and the bead 143 enclose a sealing groove 145 with an upward opening. Preferably, a sealing ring 150 is disposed within the sealing groove 145.

The first fitting portion 144 is provided on the bead 143. In the present embodiment, the first fitting portion 144 may be configured as a snap similar to a hollow structure. Thus, the blocking wall 123 is located between the sidewall 142 and the surrounding rib 143 and extends into the sealing groove 145, so that the first matching portion 144 and the second clamping portion 125 form a clamping connection. The stopper wall 123 abuts against the seal ring 150, and an interference fit is formed therebetween. Therefore, the control plate 130 and the blocking wall 123 can be accommodated in the protective cover 140, and a seal is provided between the blocking wall 123 and the protective cover 140, so that the protective effect is further improved, and the possibility of liquid entering from a side gap of the protective cover 140 can be reduced.

Referring to fig. 2, the surrounding rib 143 is provided with notches 146, which are located below the second clamping portions 125 and the number of the notches corresponds to the number of the second clamping portions 125. This notch 146 can avoid the downward extension of the second click portion 125, and can avoid interference.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the boot 140 also includes a wire passing portion 147 and a wire trap portion 148. The wire passing portion 147 is disposed at an edge of the bottom wall 141, and is located inside the sidewall 142. The wire clamping portion 148 is disposed outside the sidewall 142 and opposite to the wire passing portion 147.

Specifically, the wire passing portion 147 extends from the bottom wall 141 toward the direction close to the face cover 120, or extends upward, so that a through hole penetrating the bottom wall 141 is formed inside thereof. Thus, the lead wire can extend from the inside of the protective cover 140 to the outside of the protective cover 140 through the through hole. The catching portion 148 is generally configured in a ring shape having an opening so that a wire can enter the catching portion 148. According to the scheme, the wires can be communicated with the inside and the outside of the protective cover 140 by utilizing the wire passing part 147, so that the wires are favorably bundled and protected, and the wires can enter the ring from the opening of the wire clamping part 148, so that the binding and the arrangement of the wires are further favorably realized.
