Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The panel control mechanism of the embodiment can be applied to cooking appliances such as an electric oven, a steaming and baking all-in-one machine and a micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine, the cooking appliances usually have an accommodating cavity, and a user can put food materials to be cooked into the accommodating cavity for cooking.

As shown in fig. 1, the panel control mechanism of the present embodiment includes a support structure 10, a hinge assembly 20, a driving assembly 30 and a control panel assembly 40, wherein the support structure 10 is a front panel frame of the cooking appliance, one end of the hinge assembly 20 is fixedly disposed on the front panel frame, the other end of the hinge assembly 20 is fixedly disposed on the control panel assembly 40, a water tank port 11 is disposed on the support structure 10, and the water tank can be placed into a working position through the water tank port 11. The hinge assembly 20 is provided between the support structure 10 and the control panel assembly 40 such that the control panel assembly 40 is reversibly provided on the top of the support structure 10, and referring to fig. 7 and 8, the control panel assembly 40 has a vertical position fastened to the support structure 10 and capable of covering the tank port 11, and a horizontal position unfolded to expose the tank port 11.

After the panel control mechanism is adopted, the driving assembly 30 is arranged between the control panel assembly 40 and the support structure 10, and drives the control panel assembly 40 to turn from the vertical position to the horizontal position, so that the water tank port 11 covered by the control panel assembly 40 is exposed, and the operation of a user is facilitated. The control panel assembly 40 can be effectively maintained in its integrity by being turned over and opened as a whole, thereby improving the visual sense of beauty.

As shown in fig. 7, in the case where the control panel assembly 40 is located at the vertical position, the upper edge of the control panel assembly 40 is located at the predetermined plane, and referring to fig. 10 and 11, the driving assembly 30 is disposed at one side of the support structure, and the output end of the driving assembly 30 can pass through the support structure 10 and be connected with the control panel assembly 40. The output end of the driving assembly 30 is moved away from the support structure 10 to allow the control panel assembly 40 to rotate from the vertical position to the horizontal position, and the hinge assembly 20 restricts the rotation axis of the control panel assembly 40 to be a non-fixed axis during the above movement.

In the common built-in cooking utensil in the market, because control panel and pivot axle have certain volume and thickness, the axis of fixed pivot axle has certain distance to the edge of control panel, and this distance changes into vertically from horizontal in the rotation process of control panel, makes built-in cooking utensil increase certain distance vertically. If the cabinet is designed according to the size of the built-in cooking appliance when the cabinet is closed, the control panel is easy to collide with the cabinet in the overturning process, and the use of the built-in cooking appliance is influenced. In order to avoid the above contact collision condition, a large activity space needs to be reserved for the control panel during the design of the cupboard, so that a large gap exists between the embedded cooking appliance and the cupboard when the cabinet is idle, and the overall appearance is influenced.

The rotation axis of the hinge assembly 20 of the present embodiment is not fixed, and the control panel assembly 40 also has a tendency to move downward as a whole during the tilting of the control panel assembly 40 from the vertical position to the horizontal position, thereby avoiding the situation that the edge of the control panel is raised during the tilting due to the rotation of the fixed shaft in the prior art. The control panel assembly 40 is at the in-process from vertical position to horizontal position activity, and the profile scope when the upper edge of control panel assembly 40 is no longer than vertical position, and then avoids control panel assembly 40 to take place to interfere the condition emergence of colliding with the object around in the upset in-process. Therefore, when the space for installing the embedded cooking appliance such as a cabinet is designed, the size of the panel control structure in the vertical position can be calculated, the size of a gap between the embedded cooking appliance and the surrounding cabinet can be effectively reduced, and the consistency and the harmony between the embedded cooking appliance and the cabinet are improved.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the hinge assembly 20 of the panel control mechanism of the present embodiment includes a first fixing piece 21, a second fixing piece 22, a first connecting piece 23, and a second connecting piece 24, the first fixing piece 21 can be fixedly disposed on the support structure 10, and the second fixing piece 22 can be fixedly disposed in the control panel assembly 40. The first connecting piece 23 is pivotally connected with the first fixing piece 21 through a first pin shaft 26, the first connecting piece 23 is pivotally connected with the second fixing piece 22 through a second pin shaft 27, the second connecting piece 24 is pivotally connected with the first fixing piece 21 through a third pin shaft 28, and the second connecting piece 24 is pivotally connected with the second fixing piece 22 through a fourth pin shaft 29.
