Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of steam ovens, and particularly relates to an adjustable protective cover for a steam oven and a mounting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The heating principle of the steam oven is to make the resistance wire (rod) energized and heated, so that the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy, so that the temperature inside the box is increased, and then the food is baked until it is cooked. This process is from the outside to the inside. Processing food in a steam oven is a baking process. Direct baking with an open flame will produce carcinogens, but using a steam oven, carcinogens are almost not produced. Therefore, it can be said that using a steam oven to process food is a relatively safe processing method. In actual use, the existing steam oven is generally placed directly on the kitchen countertop, and the top of the steam oven is easily damaged by high-altitude objects, which causes damage to the steam oven and affects the service life of the steam oven. Summary of the invention

[0014] The method for installing the adjustable protective cover for a steam oven as described above is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0015] The steps include:

[0016] 1) Assembly of two end brackets:

[0017] (1) First, assemble the lever assembly, insert the two ends of the adjustment rod into the slots of the two adjustment sleeves respectively, and ensure that the two ends of the adjustment rod are in contact with the end faces of the corresponding slots, and then tighten the first set screw to complete the assembly; first, ensure that the adjustment rod is inserted into the end of the slot, and ensure that the initial length of the lever assembly is the minimum value in the adjustment value range, so as to facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the actual length of the lever assembly;

[0018] (2) Then, the lever assemblies assembled in step (1) are installed one by one between the two end brackets, and the two adjustment sleeves on the lever assemblies are respectively inserted into the rear end surfaces of the side support plates of the two end brackets; the lever assemblies are used to realize the preliminary installation and positioning between the two end brackets, thereby ensuring the symmetrical arrangement between the two end brackets, and the installation is convenient and simple without the need to measure any dimensions;

[0019] (3) According to the actual number of installed gear lever assemblies, adjust the upper and lower positions of the gear lever assemblies on the end brackets. After the adjustment, install brackets at both ends of each gear lever assembly, and move the brackets against the bottom surface of the end of the adjustment sleeve toward the side support plate until the protrusions on the brackets are completely inserted into the longitudinal grooves on the side support plates. Since the actual number of installed gear lever assemblies can be selected according to actual needs, by appropriately adjusting the upper and lower positions of the gear lever assemblies on the end brackets, try to ensure that the gear lever assemblies are evenly distributed on the rear side of the end brackets, thereby improving the overall structural stability and firmness of the protective cover. Then, by installing the brackets, since the protrusions on the brackets and the longitudinal grooves are interference fit, the fastening performance between the brackets and the side support plates can be ensured, thereby providing auxiliary support and lifting for both ends of the gear lever assemblies through the brackets, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the gear lever assemblies.

[0020] (4) Finally, adjust the horizontal spacing between the two end brackets according to the actual length of the steam oven, loosen the first fixing screws on all the lever assemblies, and move the two end brackets in opposite directions at the same time until the spacing between the two side support plates is greater than the actual length of the steam oven, and then tighten the first fixing screw; loosen the first fixing screw so that the adjustment sleeve can slide relative to the adjustment rod, so that the actual length of the lever assembly can be adjusted, and then the spacing between the two end brackets is adjusted to match the actual length of the steam oven. After adjustment, tighten the first fixing screw to ensure the structural firmness of the protective cover, and during the adjustment process, try to ensure the synchronous movement of the two end brackets, so that there will not be a large difference between the lengths of the adjustment rod inserted into the two adjustment sleeves, and ensure the overall stability of the lever assembly itself as much as possible;

[0021] 2) Installation of top baffle assembly:

[0022] (1) First, assemble the top baffle assembly, place the two fixed plates horizontally and symmetrically, and then match the card slots on the fixed ends of the telescopic plate with the card strips on the two fixed plates, and completely insert the card strips into the card slots; the telescopic plate and the fixed plate are precisely connected and fixed by the card strips and the card slots, and installation and disassembly are convenient and simple;

[0023] (2) Then screw a limit nut into each threaded adjustment rod, adjust the length of the telescopic plate so that the perforations on the two fixed plates correspond to the threaded adjustment rods on the two end brackets, insert the fixed plate into the threaded adjustment rod, and then screw a limit nut into each threaded adjustment rod; the entire installation process is clear and convenient, and the fixed plate is clamped and limited on the threaded adjustment rod by the upper and lower limit nuts, ensuring the installation stability of the fixed plate;

[0024] (3) Then adjust the height of the two fixed plates on the threaded adjustment rod according to the height of the steam oven actually placed, rotate the limit nuts under the two fixed plates so that the distance between the bottom surface of the fixed plate and the top surface of the bottom support plate is greater than the actual height of the steam oven, and ensure that the two fixed plates are arranged horizontally and symmetrically, and then rotate the limit nuts above the fixed plates toward the fixed plates until the upper limit nuts are pressed tightly against the top surface of the fixed plates; adjust the upper and lower heights of the fixed plates below the fixed plates on the threaded adjustment rods to adjust the installation height of the fixed plates so that the height of the fixed plates matches the height of the steam oven actually placed, thereby facilitating the placement and storage of the steam oven by the protective cover, and the adjustment is convenient and simple;

[0025] 3) Installation of storage table:

[0026] (1) First, install a limit sleeve on the top of each threaded adjustment rod, then insert the plug plate into the slide grooves of the two storage tables, ensure that the plug plate contacts the end surface of the slide groove, install the two storage tables on the top of the two fixed plates respectively, and insert the storage tables into the two adjacent limit sleeves in front and behind through the embedding grooves on the bottom surface, and then move the two storage tables toward each other until the limit sleeve contacts the end of the embedding groove; the limit sleeve is used to realize the clamping support of the storage table to ensure the stability of the clamping of the storage table, and the installation process moves the storage tables toward each other until the limit sleeve contacts the end of one side of the embedding groove, so as to ensure that the two storage tables are arranged horizontally and symmetrically, so as to facilitate the further adjustment of the storage tables;

[0027] (2) Pull out the plug boards in the two storage tables and move the two plug boards toward each other until the two plug boards are in contact with each other and fit together, then rotate the adjustment support plate at the bottom of each plug board 180°; at the same time, move the plug boards synchronously, so as to minimize the length difference between the two plug boards when they are pulled out of the slide slots, and ensure the balance of the two sides of the storage tables. When the two plug boards are in contact with each other, since the adjustment support plates are completely located in the corresponding open slots in the initial state, through 180° rotation, one end of the adjustment support plate in the left open slot can be rotated to the right open slot, and one end of the adjustment support plate in the right open slot can be rotated to the left open slot, so that the two plug boards are mutually supported and connected through the two adjustment support plates, and the two storage tables are indirectly connected to each other, and the middle parts of the two storage tables are auxiliary connected, so that the combination formed by the two storage tables is more stable and more convenient for the placement and storage of objects.

[0028] 4) Installation of door panel assembly:

[0029] First, hinge and fix the door panel and the side support panel by hinges, then insert the extension plate into the adjustment groove on the top surface of the door panel, adjust the insertion length of the extension plate in the adjustment groove according to the actual height of the fixed plate, so that the top surface height of the extension plate is not lower than the actual height of the fixed plate, and then tighten the second set screw; by adjusting the height of the extension plate, the door panel assembly can be matched with the actual height of the top baffle assembly, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the protective cover, the design is ingenious and reasonable, and the installation is convenient and simple.

[0030] The present invention has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0031] The protective cover can be used to store and place the steam oven, and the outer surface of the steam oven is protected. The end brackets shield and protect the two sides of the steam oven, and at the same time, the bottom of the steam oven is supported firmly, so that the steam oven is placed stably. In addition, the design of the heat dissipation slots on the surface of the end brackets can ensure air circulation on the sides and bottom of the steam oven, and the heat dissipation performance of the surface of the steam oven is ensured. The top baffle assembly can shield and protect the top of the steam oven, and effectively prevent high-altitude objects from falling on the surface of the steam oven and causing damage to the steam oven. The fixing plate is also provided with heat dissipation slots, which can ensure air circulation and heat dissipation effect on the top of the steam oven. At the same time, a storage table is added. The design of the storage table facilitates the placement of other objects, so that the storage performance of the protective cover is better, thereby making the kitchen countertop neater and more beautiful. The door panel assembly can shield and protect the front side of the steam oven to a certain extent, so that the overall appearance of the protective cover is more beautiful. Moreover, the door panel is opened laterally, which is also convenient for the use and operation of the steam oven in the protective cover.

[0032] In the present invention, the two end brackets are connected by a gear lever assembly to ensure the structural stability of the protective cover. The number of gear lever assemblies can also be adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, through the design of the specific structure of the gear lever assembly, the length of the adjusting rod inserted into the adjusting sleeve is adjustable, so that the length between the two end brackets can be adjusted, thereby realizing the placement and storage of steam ovens of different lengths by the protective cover. In the top baffle assembly, due to the telescopic performance of the telescopic plate, the actual length of the entire top baffle assembly can be adjusted, so that the top baffle assembly can match the spacing between the two end brackets, thereby facilitating the installation of the top baffle assembly. In addition, an adjustable installation method is adopted between the top baffle assembly and the end bracket, so that the installation height of the top baffle assembly on the end bracket is adjustable, so that the protective cover can be suitable for the placement and storage of steam ovens of different heights, further expanding the application scope of the protective cover, so that the protective cover can be suitable for the storage and protection of steam ovens of different lengths and heights. The door panel assembly is also designed to be height-adjustable, so that the door panel assembly can match the installation height of the top baffle assembly, making the structure of the protective cover more beautiful. The door panel assembly can provide certain shielding and protection for the front side of the protective cover. At the same time, the side-pull method of the door panel can also facilitate the operation of the steam oven in the protective cover. Finally, a storage table is used to increase the practical performance of the protective cover. Other objects can be placed on the storage table, and the two storage tables can be adjusted with the actual spacing between the two end brackets through the auxiliary adjustment of the plug plate, which makes installation and use more convenient.

[0033] During the entire installation process of the present invention, the ingenious design of the structure of each component can facilitate the installation and splicing of the various components. The lever assembly is first assembled to ensure that the length of the lever assembly is the minimum, thereby ensuring that the initial lengths of multiple lever assemblies are consistent, which is convenient for the assembly between the lever assembly and the end, and also convenient for the subsequent adjustment of the length between the two end brackets. The two end brackets are then assembled with each other through the lever assembly, and multiple lever assemblies are clamped between the two end brackets to ensure the connection stability of the two end brackets. The length of the lever assembly is then adjusted, thereby adjusting the length between the two end brackets, so that the length between the end brackets can match the actual length of the steam oven placed. The top baffle assembly is then installed. The assembled top baffle assembly is installed on the top of the two end brackets. The top baffle assembly is installed by stretching or compressing the telescopic plate to make the fixed plate correspond to the corresponding threaded adjustment rod. Then, the height of the fixed plate on the threaded adjustment rod is adjusted so that the height of the top baffle assembly can match the height of the actual steam oven. Then, the storage table is installed, and whether the storage table is installed can be selected according to actual needs. The functionality of the protective cover is increased by the storage table, so that the protective cover can also store some other objects. Finally, the door panel assembly is installed. The front side of the protective cover is shielded by the door panel assembly to prevent the steam oven from tipping over from the front side of the protective cover. In addition, the door panel can be opened sideways to facilitate the operation of the steam oven inside the protective cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
