[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 An integrated kitchen appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an appliance body 10 and a power cord 22. The appliance body 10 has a mounting opening 14 on its side panel 12, a terminal block 16 inside the appliance body 10, and a first fixing bracket 18 detachably mounted at the mounting opening 14. The first fixing bracket 18 has a wire-through hole 20. The power cord 22 is located inside the appliance body 10 and includes a first end 24 and a second end 26. The first end 24 is connected to the terminal block 16, and the second end 26 is connected to the first fixing bracket 18. The power cord 22 is configured such that the second end 26 extends out of the appliance body 10 through the wire-through hole 20.

[0033] The aforementioned integrated kitchen appliance 100 pre-installs the power cord 22 inside the appliance body 10, reducing the possibility of the power cord 22 being lost. The first end 24 of the power cord 22 is connected to the terminal block 16, and the second end 26 is connected to the first fixed bracket 18, reducing the difficulty of installation and thus improving the reliability of the power cord 22 connection.

[0034] Specifically, see Figures 1-5 The integrated kitchen appliance 100 of the present invention includes an appliance body 10 and a power cord 22. The two ends of the power cord 22 are a first end 24 and a second end 26, respectively. The first end 24 is connected to the interior of the integrated kitchen appliance 100, and the second end 26 is movably connected to a first fixed bracket 18 on the side plate 12. Figure 1 As shown, when the integrated kitchen appliance 100 needs to be installed in a user's home, the second end 26 of the power cord 22 needs to extend out of the appliance body 10 through the wire hole 20 to connect to the power socket. (See also...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this invention, the power cord 22 of the integrated kitchen appliance 100 is pre-fixed to the terminal block 16 inside the appliance body 10, reducing the possibility of the power cord 22 being lost. The first end 24 of the power cord 22 is fixedly connected to the terminal block 16, and the second end 26 is connected to the first fixed bracket 18 that is detachably installed at the installation port 14, reducing the difficulty of installation and thus improving the reliability of the power cord 22 connection. This avoids having to connect the power cord 22 inside the appliance after the integrated kitchen appliance 100 is installed in the user's cabinet 56.

[0035] In some embodiments, the integrated kitchen appliance 100 includes a mounting block 28, which is installed at the mounting opening 14. The mounting block 28 has a receiving groove 29 recessed towards the interior of the appliance body 10. The first fixing bracket 18 includes a mounting plate 30, which is detachably mounted on the mounting block 28 and located within the receiving groove 29. Thus, the engagement between the receiving groove 29 recessed towards the interior of the appliance body 10 on the mounting block 28 and the mounting plate 30 facilitates the detachable installation of the first fixing bracket 18 at the mounting opening 14.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting block 28 installed at the mounting opening 14 has a recessed receiving groove 29 facing the interior of the electrical body 10. The mounting plate 30 of the first fixing bracket 18 is detachably installed in the receiving groove 29, which can stably install the first fixing bracket 18 at the mounting opening 14. In one embodiment, the receiving groove 29 is a groove with a rectangular opening, and the mounting plate 30 is a rectangular plate whose size is adapted to the receiving groove 29. The mounting plate 30 is detachably installed on the mounting block 28 and located inside the receiving groove 29.

[0037] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 30 has a first mounting hole 32, and the mounting block 28 has a second mounting hole 34. The integrated kitchen appliance 100 includes a first fastener 36, which passes through the first mounting hole 32 and the second mounting hole 34 and connects the mounting plate 30 and the mounting block 28. In this way, the first fixing bracket 18 can be securely mounted to the mounting opening 14 on the side plate 12 of the appliance body 10.

[0038] Specifically, see Figure 2 The mounting plate 30 and the mounting block 28 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole 32 and a second mounting hole 34. A first fastener 36 passes through the first mounting hole 32 and the second mounting hole 34 to connect the mounting plate 30 of the first fixed bracket 18 and the mounting block 28 installed at the mounting opening 14. In this way, the first fixed bracket 18 is fixed to the mounting opening 14. In one embodiment, there are two sets of first mounting holes 32 and second mounting holes 34. The first mounting holes 32 and the second mounting holes 34 can be screw holes, and the first fastener 36 can be a screw. That is, the first fixed bracket 18 is fixed to the mounting block 28 by screws. When it is necessary to disassemble the first fixed bracket 18, the screws can be removed to remove the first fixed bracket 18, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first fixed bracket 18.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first fixing bracket 18 includes a support portion 38 connected to the mounting plate 30. The support portion 38 has a support groove 40, and the second end 26 is partially accommodated in the support groove 40. A movable first fixing block 42 is mounted on the support portion 38, and the first fixing block 42 presses the second end 26 against the support groove 40. In this way, it is convenient to fix the second end 26 of the power cord 22 on the first fixing bracket 18.

[0040] Specifically, see Figures 6-9 The first fixed bracket 18 includes a support portion 38, which is connected to a mounting plate 30. The mounting plate 30 on the first fixed bracket 18 has the support portion 38 on the side opposite to the second end 26 of the power cord 22. A movable first fixing block 42 mounted on the support portion 38 can be installed on the side of the support portion 38 away from the mounting plate 30. A support groove 40 in the support portion 38 can accommodate part of the power cord 22. The first fixing block 42 fixes the second end 26 of the power cord 22 in the support groove 40 of the first fixed bracket 18.

[0041] In some embodiments, the support portion 38 is provided with a buckle 44, one end of the first fixing block 42 is movably connected to one side of the support groove 40, and the other end of the first fixing block 42 has a locking hole 46. The buckle 44 locks the first fixing block 42 through the locking hole 46. In this way, the buckle 44 locks the first fixing block 42 through the locking hole 46 to fix the second end 26 of the power cord 22. When the buckle 44 disengages from the locking hole 46, it releases the first fixing block 42 to allow the second end 26 of the power cord 22 to move, and the length of the second end 26 extending out of the wire hole 20 can be changed.

[0042] Specifically, the cable hole 20 is installed on the side of the mounting plate 30 near the second end 26. The buckle 44 of the support part 38 and the locking hole 46 of the first fixing block 42 are opened on the same side. The buckle 44 connects with the locking hole 46 to lock the first fixing block 42 to fix the second end 26 of the power cable 22. Figure 6 As shown. Remove the sealant from the wire hole 20, and the clip 44 disengages from the clip hole 46 to allow the second end 26 of the power cord 22 to move, thus changing the length of the second end 26 extending out of the wire hole 20, as shown. Figure 7 As shown.

[0043] In some embodiments, the integrated kitchen appliance 100 also includes a closure 48 that fills at least a portion of the cable hole 20. This protects the power cord 22.

[0044] Specifically, see Figure 6 The integrated kitchen appliance 100 also includes a closure 48 that seals the wiring hole 20. When the integrated kitchen appliance 100 is not installed, the wiring hole 20 is partially filled, preventing the second end 26 of the power cord 22 from passing through the wiring hole 20. This protects the power cord 22 and prevents it from protruding from the appliance body 10 during installation or transportation. In one embodiment, the closure 48 can be a sealant that fills at least a portion of the wiring hole 20. When it is necessary to install the second end 26 of the power cord 22 to the power source, the sealant is first removed from the wiring hole 20, allowing the second end 26 of the power cord 22 to protrude from the wiring hole 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, the integrated kitchen appliance 100 includes a second fixing bracket 50 and a second fixing block 52 disposed inside the appliance body 10, the second fixing block 52 pressing the first end 24 against the second fixing bracket 50. In this way, the first end 24 of the power cord 22 is pre-fixed to the second fixing bracket 50 inside the appliance body 10.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The second fixing block 52, located inside the appliance body 10, presses the first end 24 of the power cord 22 firmly onto the second fixing bracket 50. This allows the power cord 22 to be pre-installed inside the appliance body 10, reducing the possibility of loss, simplifying installation, and improving the reliability of the power cord 22 connection.

[0047] In some embodiments, one end of the second fixing block 52 is rotatably connected to the second fixing bracket 50, and the other end of the second fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the second fixing bracket 50 by a second fastener 54. In this way, the first end 24 of the power cord 22 can be stably fixed.

[0048] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the second fixing block 52 is rotatably connected to the second fixing bracket 50, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second fixing bracket 50 through the second fastener 54. In this way, the second fixing bracket 50 is fixed and stable to fix the first end 24 of the power cord 22, and the first end 24 of the power cord 22 is prevented from falling off.

[0049] The installation method of the power cord 22 of the present invention is as follows: (See reference) Figures 1-9 Before the machine is installed in the user's cabinet 56, the first end 24 of the power cord 22 is connected to the terminal block 16. The first end 24 is pre-fixed to the second fixing bracket 50 by the second fastener 54. In this way, the power cord 22 is pre-installed inside the appliance body 10, reducing the possibility of the power cord 22 being lost, reducing installation difficulty, and thus improving the reliability of the power cord 22 connection. The second end 26 of the power cord 22 is installed on the first fixing bracket 18, which is detachably installed at the mounting port 14 on the side plate 12 of the appliance body 10. The first fixing bracket 18 has a wire through hole 20, which is sealed with sealant, and the second end 26 of the power cord 22 does not pass through the wire through hole 20. The mounting plate 30 of the first fixing bracket 18 is fixed to the mounting block 28 by screws. When the machine needs to be installed in the user's cabinet 56, loosen the two screws that fix the first fixed bracket 18 to the mounting block 28, pull out the first fixed bracket 18 and the second end 26 of the power cord 22 fixed to the first fixed bracket 18, loosen the first fixing block 42 on the support part 38 of the first fixed bracket 18, disengage the locking hole 46 of the first fixing block 42 from the buckle 44 so that the second end 26 of the power cord 22 can move, then remove the sealant sealing the wire hole 20 on the first fixed bracket 18, and let the second end 26 of the power cord 22 pass through the wire hole 20 and connect to the power source, then put the first fixed bracket 18 back into the mounting block 28 and fix it with screws.
