Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated stove technology, and in particular to a connection structure for an integrated cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most commercially available cooking machines from major brands consist of a steam oven module and a cooktop module connected by screws. The steam oven module's casing is constructed from left and right side panels, a rear panel, and a bottom panel. Due to structural limitations, the steam oven door assembly must be removed during assembly at the customer's home. The burner assembly and water collection box on the cooktop module must also be removed. Next, the screws securing the soup tray must be removed. The cooking machine is then lifted and inserted through the rectangular hole in the cabinet panel, placing it on the panel so that the back of the cooktop's bottom shell is flush against the cabinet panel. At this point, the entire weight of the cooking machine rests on the cabinet panel, leaving the bottom of the machine suspended. Therefore, a metal pad must be used to fill the bottom during installation, allowing some of the weight to be transferred to the cabinet's partition. The cooking machine is then further secured, and finally, the door is assembled.

[0003] The installation process for cooking machines assembled in this way is rather cumbersome. Furthermore, if the power board needs repair, the above steps must be repeated to remove the cooking machine and disassemble the two modules, making repairs also quite complicated. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing cooking machines, which are cumbersome to maintain, by providing a new connection structure for an integrated cooking machine.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated cooking appliance connection structure includes a cooktop module, a steam-bake module, and a cabinet. The cooktop module and the steam-bake module are fixed to the cabinet. The upper end of the cabinet has a cooktop mounting hole, and a load-bearing partition is installed inside the cabinet. The steam-bake module passes through the cooktop mounting hole. The cooktop module includes a cooktop platform, a cooktop base shell, a condenser assembly, and an adapter assembly. The outer edge of the cooktop base shell has a flange. The upper surface of the flange is fixedly connected to the cooktop platform, and the lower surface of the flange is connected to the cooktop mounting hole on the cabinet. The outer edges of the holes abut each other, and a stove cavity is formed between the stove platform and the stove bottom shell. The adapter assembly and the condenser assembly are placed inside the stove cavity. The steam oven module includes a steam box, an exhaust hose, a signal transmission component, and a cover assembly. The steam oven module is placed on the load-bearing partition plate. The exhaust hose passes through the stove bottom shell and is inserted into the condenser assembly. The signal transmission component passes through the stove bottom shell and is inserted into the adapter assembly. The steam oven module also includes a U-shaped enclosure and a power board. The power board is vertically fixed on the U-shaped enclosure.

[0007] The cooktop module and the steaming / grilling module are independent integrated modules, making disassembly and assembly convenient. The cooking machine frame shell adopts a U-shaped panel one-piece molding structure, reducing manufacturing processes, lowering production costs, and improving efficiency. The power board is vertically installed on the U-shaped panel, and only the cover plate assembly needs to be removed for maintenance, saving space and making maintenance convenient and quick. The outer edge of the cooktop bottom shell is provided with a bottom shell flange, which plays a load-bearing role and reduces the strength requirements of the connections between the various components within the cooktop module, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. The cooktop module and the steaming / grilling module are connected to the gas circuit, electrical circuit, and communication via a plug-in connection, which can realize the quick switching on and off of the gas circuit, electrical circuit, and communication during installation and maintenance of the cooking machine, making disassembly and assembly of the cooking machine even simpler.

[0008] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the cooktop has a cooktop through hole, the cooktop bottom shell has a bottom shell through hole, the position of the bottom shell through hole corresponds to the position of the cooktop through hole, and the adapter component includes an adapter plug, which passes through the bottom shell through hole and connects to the signal transmission component.

[0009] The cooktop module and the steam oven module are electrically connected via an adapter plug. The cooktop platform has a through hole, and the cooktop bottom shell has a through hole. When plugging or unplugging the adapter plug, the operator can use the through hole in the platform to manipulate the adapter plug through the through hole in the bottom shell to connect or disconnect it from the signal transmission component.

[0010] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the adapter assembly further includes an adapter protective plate and a cover. The adapter protective plate is placed inside the cavity of the stove and its lower end is fixed to the edge of the bottom shell through hole. The adapter plug passes through the adapter protective plate, the cover is connected to the through hole of the countertop, and the upper end of the adapter protective plate is placed inside the cover.

[0011] The adapter protective cover protects the connection between the adapter plug and the signal transmission component, ensuring that any debris that may be generated inside the stove cavity will not affect the connection between the adapter plug and the signal transmission component.

[0012] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the cooktop is also provided with a condensation hole, the condensation component includes a condensation plate, a water collection box and a split connecting sleeve, the water collection box is placed below the condensation hole, the split connecting sleeve cooperates with the exhaust hose to connect the internal space of the steam oven and the internal space of the water collection box, and the condensation plate covers the condensation hole.

[0013] The steam oven module uses an upward exhaust system with an external condenser plate and water collection box. This not only effectively utilizes the remaining space inside the cooktop cavity but also reduces the size of the steam oven module and lowers the requirements for cabinet dimensions.

[0014] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the through hole in the countertop and the through hole in the condenser are arranged adjacent to each other, and the condenser plate covers both the through hole in the condenser and the through hole in the countertop.

[0015] The through holes in the countertop and the through holes for condensation are arranged adjacent to each other, and the condensation plate covers both the through holes for condensation and the through holes in the countertop, making the cooktop countertop more visually unified and aesthetically pleasing.

[0016] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the cover plate assembly is provided with two positioning slots, the exhaust hose is provided with a hose connector, the split connecting sleeve is inserted into the hose connector and the hose connector is fixed in one of the positioning slots, the signal transmission component is fixed in the other positioning slot, and the stove module also includes a positioning block that is snapped into the positioning slot.

[0017] The positioning slot and positioning block work together to limit the stove module in the left and right directions. The hose connector and signal transmission component are each fixed in a positioning slot. Therefore, after the stove module is installed, you only need to move the stove module back and forth to move it to the appropriate position. Then, connect the split connecting sleeve to the hose connector and connect the adapter plug to the signal transmission component.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the positioning groove is provided with a positioning block clearance hole, and the positioning block is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom shell of the stove and is inserted into the positioning block clearance hole.

[0019] The positioning block and the positioning block clearance hole further limit the stove module in the front and back direction, so the user can operate blindly. First, pass the stove module through the stove installation hole, then insert the positioning block into the positioning slot, and then move the stove module back and forth until the positioning block is inserted into the positioning block clearance hole. At this time, the positioning of the stove module is completed. The split connecting sleeve can be connected to the hose connector, and the adapter plug can be connected to the information transmission component.

[0020] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the hose connector is inverted conical.

[0021] The hose connector is inverted conical, making it easier to connect the hose connector to the split-type connector sleeve.

[0022] Preferably, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, a foam pad is attached to the side of the bottom shell flange that is in contact with the stove countertop.

[0023] The bottom edge is folded to bear weight, and the foam pad provides cushioning and shock absorption, protecting the cooktop.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, in the connection structure of the integrated cooking machine described above, the cabinet is provided with a front support strip, a rear support strip, and a stove plate. The stove mounting holes are provided on the stove plate. The front and rear support strips are fixed to the top of the cabinet. The stove plate is connected to the front and rear support strips.

[0025] The addition of front and rear support strips to the cabinets enhances their load-bearing capacity, enabling them to better support the cooktop module.

[0026] Furthermore, the above design enables quick connection and disconnection between the various modules of the cooking machine. If maintenance is required after the cooking machine is installed, simply unplug the adapter plug and the split connection sleeve to quickly disconnect the gas circuit, electrical control, and communication.
