The through hole is a flanged type, and the flange faces the outer side of the dishwasher housing. The screws are tightened through the through hole during installation. In addition, a closing block is installed on the flanged through hole to hide the screws. The mounting structure of the dishwasher in this patent is simple, high in strength, low in cost and aesthetically pleasing.

[0004] However, this installation structure requires that the outer side of the dishwasher fits into the side of the cabinet passage, which greatly limits the size of the dishwasher that can be embedded in the cabinet, increases the difficulty of installing the dishwasher into the cabinet, and affects the ventilation and heat dissipation of the dishwasher.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting assembly for an embedded dishwasher, so as to achieve the purpose of widening the size range of dishwashers that can be embedded in a cabinet and reducing the difficulty of installing the dishwasher.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet using the above-mentioned mounting assembly, so as to improve the utilization rate of kitchen space and ensure that the dishwasher is in a good ventilation and heat dissipation environment.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] A mounting assembly for an embedded dishwasher comprises a positioning frame, the positioning frame is provided with a frame opening for sleeved on the dishwasher, and legs are extended along a frame surface where the frame opening is located in a direction away from the frame opening for connecting with a channel of the embedded dishwasher.

[0010] Furthermore, a frame surface on which the frame opening is arranged has a plurality of elongated holes, and all the elongated holes extend in the same direction and are evenly distributed on the supporting legs.

[0011] Furthermore, the legs are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the frame opening;

[0012] Preferably, the plurality of legs are distributed at the vertices of a rectangle.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning frame is provided with a flange extending from the edge of the frame opening to one side of the frame surface and perpendicular to the frame surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the flange extending along the length direction of the elongated hole is provided with a fixed end for connecting with the side wall of the channel.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes an easy-to-cut fastener detachably connected to the fixed end, which is perpendicular to the fixed end and connected to the side wall of the channel at one end, and is used to adjust the relative position of the positioning frame and the channel in the length direction thereof.

[0016] Furthermore, the easy-to-cut fastener comprises a connecting column provided with a folding opening, the folding opening is recessed radially inward from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting column and at least forms a dividing surface inclined to the axis of the connecting column.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a decorative cover, a socket is provided in the middle of the cover surface, the cover surface of the decorative cover is in contact with the frame surface of the positioning frame, the socket is concentric with the frame opening, and the socket is greater than or equal to the frame opening.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment introduces a mounting assembly for mounting and fixing a dishwasher. The mounting assembly is used at a channel opened on a cabinet, and can also be used at a channel opened on a wall. The mounting assembly is installed at the entrance end of the channel, and is also provided with an opening for penetrating the channel and fixing the dishwasher.

[0036] The cabinet is provided with a channel for accommodating a dishwasher. The channel extends in a horizontal direction and is concave from the front face of the cabinet. The entrance of the channel is located on the front face of the cabinet. The mounting assembly is arranged at the entrance end of the channel.

[0037] The installation assembly includes a positioning frame 10, which is provided with a frame opening 11 for receiving the dishwasher, and a support leg 13 extending along the frame surface where the frame opening 11 is located in a direction away from the frame opening 11 for connecting with a channel in which the dishwasher is embedded.

[0038] Specifically, the installation assembly includes a positioning frame 10. The positioning frame 10 has a flat frame surface and the frame surface is in contact with the front surface of the cabinet. The frame surface and the cabinet are connected together by screws. A frame opening 11 is provided in the middle of the frame surface. The positioning frame 10 is connected to the passage of the cabinet through the frame opening 11.

[0039] In particular, the dishwasher is embedded in the channel from the frame opening 11 and can be connected and fixed to the frame opening 11. Further, by adjusting the relative position of the positioning frame 10 and the channel, the frame opening 11 can be ensured to be located in the middle of the channel, so that the dishwasher is located in the middle of the channel.

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning frame 10 is arranged at the inlet end of the channel and its frame surface is fitted and connected to the inlet end surface. The outer periphery of the frame surface is provided with supporting feet 13 to increase the contact surface of the positioning frame 10 that can be connected to the inlet end surface, so that the relative position of the positioning frame 10 and the channel can be adjusted. The dishwasher can be inserted into the frame opening 11 so that the same dishwasher can be suitable for more cabinets, and the dishwasher can also be adjusted to the middle of the channel so that a gap is left between the dishwasher and the side wall of the channel so that it can be conveniently connected to the positioning frame 10 laterally, which reduces the difficulty of installing the dishwasher and ensures that the dishwasher can be better ventilated and dissipated.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a positioning frame 10 that can be connected to the side wall of the passage is introduced. The positioning frame 10 has a flat frame surface and the frame surface is in contact with the front surface of the cabinet. A frame opening 11 is provided in the middle of the frame surface, and the channel of the cabinet is connected through the frame opening 11. The positioning frame 10 is provided with a flange 15 extending from the edge of the frame opening 11 to one side of the frame surface and perpendicular to the frame surface.

[0042] The frame surface where the frame opening 11 is provided has a plurality of elongated holes 14 , and all the elongated holes 14 extend in the same direction and are evenly distributed on the supporting legs 13 .

[0043] The positioning frame 10 is further provided with a flange 15 , which extends from the edge of the frame opening 11 to one side of the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 .

[0044] Specifically, the flange 15 is perpendicular to the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 and forms a cylindrical side wall with the frame opening 11 as a through hole.

[0045] In this embodiment, by providing a flange 15 on the edge of the frame opening 11, bending and deformation of the frame surface can be avoided, thereby enhancing the strength of the positioning frame 10. The positioning frame 10 can also be connected to the side wall of the channel by the flange 15, thereby further improving the connection strength between the positioning frame 10 and the channel, thereby ensuring that the dishwasher is more stably arranged in the channel.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a positioning frame 10 installed at the entrance of the passage is introduced. The frame surface of the positioning frame 10 is attached to the front end surface of the cabinet and is provided with a frame opening 11 communicating with the passage.

[0047] The legs 13 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the frame opening 11. Preferably, the plurality of legs 13 are distributed according to the vertices of a rectangle.

[0048] The frame surface of the positioning frame 10 is rectangular. The frame opening 11 is a similar rectangle to the frame surface and is located in the middle of the frame surface. In order to make the same positioning frame 10 applicable to a wider range of channel sizes, a support foot 13 is provided at each vertex of the rectangular frame surface.

[0049] Specifically, the legs 13 extend from the top corners of the rectangular frame surface along the diagonal line of the frame opening 11 in a direction away from the frame opening 11. When the positioning frame 10 is set on the channel, the legs 13 are connected to the end surface of the inlet end of the channel.

[0050] In particular, all the screw holes for fixing and positioning the frame 10 are arranged in the supporting legs 13 .

[0051] In this embodiment, providing the support feet 13 on the positioning frame 10 not only increases the channel size range that the positioning frame 10 can be applied to, but also allows the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 to maintain the original area, thereby saving manufacturing materials and reducing weight gain.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a positioning frame 10 with an optimized structure is introduced. In order to adjust the position of the frame opening 11 relative to the channel when installing the positioning frame 10, a long hole 14 is provided on the frame surface of the positioning frame 10. Moreover, the length direction of all the long holes 14 is exactly the same, so that when the positioning frame 10 is set on the channel, the relative position of the frame opening 11 and the channel can be adjusted along the length direction of the long hole 14.

[0053] In particular, in order to fully utilize the elongated holes 14 and ensure that each elongated hole 14 can be connected to the end surface of the channel, all the elongated holes 14 are arranged on the supporting feet 13 .

[0054] Specifically, each of the supporting legs 13 is provided with at least one elongated hole 14 , and the length directions of all the elongated holes 14 are arranged parallel to the edge lines of the frame opening 11 .

[0055] In this embodiment, by providing the long holes 14 on the supporting feet 13, the position of the frame opening 11 relative to the channel can be adjusted during the installation of the positioning frame 10, thereby ensuring that the frame opening 11 is always located in the middle of the channel when the positioning frame 10 is installed on channels of different sizes. The dishwasher can then be fixed in the middle of the channel, leaving a gap between the dishwasher and the side wall of the channel for convenient lateral connection, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the dishwasher and ensuring that the dishwasher can be better ventilated and dissipated.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a positioning frame 10 that can be more stably connected to the channel side wall is introduced. The frame surface of the positioning frame 10 is rectangular. The frame opening 11 is a similar rectangle to the frame surface and is located in the middle of the frame surface.

[0057] The positioning frame 10 is also provided with a flange 15. The flange 15 extends from the edge of the frame opening 11 to one side of the frame surface of the positioning frame 10. Moreover, the flange 15 is perpendicular to the frame surface of the positioning frame 10, forming a cylindrical side wall with the frame opening 11 as a through hole.

[0058] The frame surface of the positioning frame 10 is also provided with a long hole 14. Preferably, each of the legs 13 has at least one long hole 14 and the length direction of all the long holes 14 is parallel to the edge line of the frame opening 11. That is, the long hole 14 extends in the horizontal direction or in the vertical direction.

[0059] The flange 15 includes two types, one extending in the horizontal direction and the other extending in the vertical direction. Accordingly, the flange 15 parallel to the length direction of the long hole 14 is provided with a fixed end 16 for connecting with the side wall of the channel. That is, if the long hole 14 is extended in the horizontal direction, the fixed end 16 is provided on the flange 15 extending in the horizontal direction, and the connecting screw is vertically supported between the fixed end 16 and the side wall of the channel; if the long hole 14 is extended in the vertical direction, the fixed end 16 is provided on the flange 15 extending in the vertical direction, and the connecting screw is horizontally supported between the fixed end 16 and the side wall of the channel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the positioning frame 10 adjusts the relative position between the frame opening 11 and the channel in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively through the long holes 14 and the fixed ends 16 set on the flanges 15, thereby ensuring that the positioning frame 10 can be more flexibly applied to channels with a larger size range, and the positioning frame 10 is connected to the channel through the long holes 14 and the fixed ends 16 so that the positioning frame 10 is fixed to the channel from two side walls that are perpendicular to each other, thereby improving the stability of the connection of the positioning frame 10.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting assembly capable of adjusting the gap with the channel more conveniently is introduced. The mounting assembly also includes an easy-to-cut fastener 30. One end of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is connected to the fixed end 16, and the other end of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is connected to the channel.

[0062] The easy-to-cut fastener 30 is detachably connected to the fixed end 16 , is perpendicular to the fixed end 16 and is connected to the side wall of the channel at one end, and is used to adjust the relative position of the positioning frame 10 and the channel in the length direction thereof.

[0063] The length direction of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is perpendicular to the fixed end 16 and the side wall of the channel, and is supported in the gap between the fixed end 16 and the side wall of the channel. The easy-to-cut fastener 30 can be shortened as needed to adjust the relative position of the positioning frame 10 and the channel in the length direction of the easy-to-cut fastener 30.

[0064] In this embodiment, the installation component is connected to the channel via an easy-to-cut fastener 30, so that the length of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 can be adjusted so that the installation component can be connected to channels of different sizes more conveniently and labor-savingly, thereby increasing the application range of the installation component.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized mounting assembly is introduced. The mounting assembly is connected to the channel through an easy-to-cut fastener 30. The easy-to-cut fastener 30 includes a connecting column 31 with a folding opening 32. The folding opening 32 is recessed radially inward from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting column 31 and at least forms a dividing surface inclined to the axis of the connecting column 31.

[0066] Specifically, the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is provided with a folding opening 32 extending perpendicularly to the length direction thereof. During use, the installer can easily break the easy-to-cut fastener 30 by applying force along the extending direction of the folding opening 32 by hand, so that the installer can conveniently and quickly adjust the length of the fastener according to the relative size between the dishwasher and the channel.

[0067] Preferably, the folding opening 32 is arranged to extend along a vertical plane in the length direction of the fastener, and the cross section flush with the folding opening 32 is at least partially connected.

[0068] In this embodiment, by providing a folding opening 32 on the easy-cut fastener 30, it is ensured that when the installation component is connected to channels of different sizes, the easy-cut fastener 30 can be quickly matched according to the gap size, thereby avoiding deformation and damage of the side wall of the dishwasher after fixing it and improving the installation efficiency of the dishwasher.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting assembly for a cabinet is introduced. The mounting assembly also includes a decorative cover 20. After the mounting assembly is mounted on the cabinet, the decorative cover 20 is covered to keep the color and style of the dishwasher consistent with that of the cabinet.

[0070] Specifically, a socket 21 is provided in the middle of the cover surface of the decorative cover 20. After the decorative cover 20 is covered on the positioning frame 10, the cover surface of the decorative cover 20 fits with the frame surface of the positioning frame 10. Moreover, the socket 21 is concentric with the frame opening 11, that is, the center of the socket 21 coincides with the center of the frame opening 11.

[0071] In particular, the socket opening 21 is set to be larger than or equal to the frame opening 11 , so that the edge of the socket opening 21 is located on the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 .

[0072] In another embodiment of the present invention, a clamping structure for keeping the decorative cover 20 attached to the positioning frame 10 is provided on the decorative cover 20 and the positioning frame 10 .

[0073] Specifically, the decorative cover 20 is provided with a latch 22, and the positioning frame 10 is provided with a socket 12, and the latch 22 can be correspondingly inserted into the socket 12. A plurality of latches 22 are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the periphery of the socket 21. The latches 22 are perpendicular to the cover surface of the decorative cover 20.

[0074] Correspondingly, a plurality of sockets 12 are evenly distributed on the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 along the periphery of the frame opening 11 , and the intervals between adjacent sockets 12 are equal to the intervals between the latch teeth 22 .

[0075] In this embodiment, the decorative cover 20 has a color and style that is unified with the cabinet. It is covered on the outside of the positioning frame 10 to cover the irregular structure of the positioning frame 10, thereby beautifying the installation component. By providing a snap-fit ​​structure near the socket 21 and the frame opening 11, it is ensured that the decorative cover 20 fits tightly to the positioning frame 10, and the installation and removal of the decorative cover 20 are more convenient, and the surface of the decorative cover 20 can be kept smooth and beautiful.

[0076] The present invention also provides a cabinet, equipped with any of the above-mentioned dishwasher installation components. The cabinet is provided with a channel for accommodating the dishwasher. The channel extends in a horizontal direction and is concave from the front end of the cabinet. The inlet of the channel is located on the front end of the cabinet. The installation component is arranged at the inlet end of the channel.

[0077] When installing the dishwasher, first, the positioning frame 10 is embedded in the channel, and then the position of the positioning frame 10 in the channel is adjusted according to the size of the channel. Next, the support leg 13 is connected to the end surface of the channel entrance and the fixed end 16 is connected to the side of the channel. After that, the dishwasher is pushed into the channel from the frame opening 11. Finally, the decorative cover 20 is covered on the positioning frame 10.

[0078] In this embodiment, the cabinet can increase the applicable range of dishwasher sizes by setting up the installation components, thereby improving the utilization rate of the kitchen space. At the same time, the dishwasher can be located in the middle of the channel with a sufficient gap between the dishwasher and the side walls of the channel to improve the ventilation and heat dissipation of the dishwasher.

[0079] Embodiment 2

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an easy-to-cut fastener 30 for a dishwasher mounting assembly is introduced. The easy-to-cut fastener 30 includes a connecting post 31. The connecting post 31 has a folding opening 32 opened inward from its outer circumference, and the folding opening is extended along the circumference of the connecting post 31.

[0081] Specifically, the folding opening 32 can be set as an annular surface distributed on the outer periphery of the connecting column 31, and radially extends from the outer periphery of the connecting column 31 to the center of the connecting column 31. The folding opening 32 can also be set as a circular surface distributed in the center of the connecting column 31, and radially extends from the center of the connecting column 31 to the outer periphery of the connecting column 31. The folding opening 32 can also be set as a rectangular surface that penetrates the connecting column 31 in any diameter direction, and the width of the rectangular surface is smaller than the width of the connecting column 31 to ensure that the cross section flush with the folding opening 32 is at least partially connected.

[0082] In particular, the folding opening 32 extends along a surface perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting column 31, so that the end surface of the connecting column 31 after folding can be directly connected to the mating surface. In one embodiment, the folding opening 32 is set as a curved surface and extends radially from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting column 31 to the central axis of the connecting column 31.

[0083] In this embodiment, by providing a folding opening 32 on the easy-to-cut fastener 30, the installer can easily break the easy-to-cut fastener 30 by applying force along the extension direction of the folding opening 32 by hand, and the folding opening 32 extends from the outer circumference of the connecting column 31 to the center of the connecting column 31 along the radial direction of the connecting column 31, and a dividing surface is formed on the connecting column 31 to separate the connecting column 31, ensuring that the easy-to-cut fastener 30 can be more easily broken along the dividing surface, so that the length of the fastener 30 can be adjusted more conveniently and quickly, so that the easy-to-cut fastener 30 can be suitable for any size of gap between the dishwasher and the channel, which not only avoids deformation and damage of the side wall of the dishwasher after fixing it, but also improves the installation efficiency of the dishwasher.

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved easy-to-cut fastener 30 is introduced. The connecting column 31 is provided with a connecting hole 34 extending from one end to the other end along the length direction. The folding opening 32 passes through the outer peripheral surface of the connecting column 31 to the connecting hole 34.

[0085] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 34 is provided along the length direction of the connecting column 31, which can be directly connected to standard parts such as screws, so that the easy-cut fastener 30 can be more conveniently used in the installation assembly, thereby increasing the applicability of the easy-cut fastener 30. Extending the folding opening 32 to the connecting hole 34 can make the connecting column 31 easier to break, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the length of the easy-cut fastener 30.

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved easy-to-cut fastener 30 is introduced.

[0087] In order to make the broken surface of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 flush and avoid the broken surface from being torn and deformed, the connecting column 31 is symmetrically provided with at least two broken openings 32 in the same cross section. Moreover, a support block 33 extending along the radial direction of the connecting column 31 is formed between adjacent broken openings 32 to ensure that the connecting column 31 does not bend or break when subjected to pressure.

[0088] In particular, the connecting column 31 is symmetrically provided with four folding openings 32 on the same cross section. The folding openings 32 are fan-shaped with an angle of 90° and penetrate from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting column 31 to the connecting hole 34. Support blocks 33 are evenly distributed between the four folding openings 32.

[0089] In this embodiment, the folding openings 32 located on the same cross section of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 are symmetrically and evenly distributed, which enables a more uniform force to be applied to the connecting column 31 when the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is bent, ensuring that its broken surface is flat and can be directly used for connecting and installing the installation component, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the installation component.

[0090] like Figure 2As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved easy-to-cut fastener 30 is introduced.

[0091] In order to make the easy-to-cut fastener 30 more conveniently connected to the side wall of the channel, the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is further provided with a seat plate 35. The plate surface of the seat plate 35 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting column 31 and is connected to the connecting column 31.

[0092] In another embodiment, at least two fixing holes 36 are dispersedly disposed on the plate surface of the seat plate 35 for inserting screws to fix the easy-to-cut fastener 30 .

[0093] In particular, a plurality of fixing holes 36 are arranged on the seat plate 35 and are evenly distributed around the connecting column 31 , so that the distance between any fixing hole 36 and the connecting column 31 is equal.

[0094] In this embodiment, the easy-to-cut fastener 30 can be more stably connected to the side wall of the channel through the seat plate 35, and the other end of the connecting column 31 can vertically support the connection installation component, ensuring that the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is only subjected to pressure parallel to its length direction, thereby preventing the connecting column 31 of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 from being easily broken due to being tilted on the side wall of the channel, resulting in unstable connection of the installation component.

[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved easy-to-cut fastener 30 is introduced.

[0096] In order to ensure that the connecting column 31 is perpendicular to the seat plate 35 and increase the supporting strength of the connecting column 31 , the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 37 .

[0097] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 37 has at least two mutually perpendicular sides, one side of which is connected to the seat plate 35 and the other side of which is connected to the connecting column 31. The reinforcing rib 37 can be set as a right triangle. The reinforcing rib 37 can also be set as a rectangle.

[0098] In particular, at least two reinforcing ribs 37 are disposed on the easy-to-cut fastener 30 , and the reinforcing ribs 37 are symmetrically distributed along the outer circumference of the connecting column 31 .

[0099] Preferably, the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is provided with two reinforcing ribs 37 distributed on both sides of the connecting column 31 along the diameter direction.

[0100] In this embodiment, after the reinforcing ribs 37 are connected between the connecting column 31 of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 and the seat plate 35, the connecting column 31 can resist a certain bending force, thereby preventing the installation component from being displaced along the extension direction of the channel and preventing the dishwasher from being separated from the channel of the cabinet. At the same time, the supporting strength of the connecting column 31 is increased, which is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the installation component and the channel.

[0101] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved easy-to-cut fastener 30 is introduced.

[0102] In order to increase the adjustable length range of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 , a plurality of folding openings 32 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting column 31 in the easy-to-cut fastener 30 .

[0103] Meanwhile, a plurality of break grooves 38 are provided on the surface of the reinforcing rib 37. The extending direction of the break grooves 38 is parallel to the plate surface of the seat plate 35. The break openings 32 are connected to the break grooves 38 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0104] In another embodiment of the present invention, a structure connected with a standard part such as a screw is provided on the circumferential surface of the connection hole 34. For example, a thread extending along a spiral line is provided along the circumferential surface of the connection hole 34. Alternatively, a circular groove is provided on the circumferential surface of the connection hole 34. The groove may protrude from the circumferential surface of the connection hole 34 or may be recessed in the circumferential surface of the connection hole 34.

[0105] In this embodiment, a plurality of folding openings 32 are provided along the length direction of the connecting column 31, so that the easy-cut fastener 30 has a larger size adjustment range. At the same time, a breaking groove 38 connected to the folding opening 32 is provided on the plate surface of the reinforcing rib 37, thereby ensuring that the easy-cut fastener 30 can be easily broken and avoiding the problem of being unable to break at the reinforcing rib 37.

[0106] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an installation assembly using the above-mentioned easy-to-cut fastener 30. The installation assembly includes a positioning frame 10, and a frame opening 11 is provided through the middle of the frame surface. A flange 15 perpendicular to the frame surface is extended from the edge of the frame opening 11 to one side of the frame surface. One end of the easy-to-cut fastener 30 is connected to the flange 15, and the other end is connected to the cabinet.

[0107] Specifically, the mounting assembly is used at a channel opened on a cabinet, and can also be used at a channel opened on a wall. The mounting assembly is installed at the inlet end of the channel, and is also provided with an opening for penetrating the channel and fixing the dishwasher.

[0108] The cabinet is provided with a channel for accommodating a dishwasher. The channel extends in a horizontal direction and is concave from the front face of the cabinet. The entrance of the channel is located on the front face of the cabinet. The mounting assembly is arranged at the entrance end of the channel.

[0109] In this embodiment, the installation assembly is located at the entrance end of the channel and a frame opening 11 is provided on the positioning frame 10, so that the same dishwasher can be applied to more cabinets with channels of different sizes, and the entrance of the channel is reduced to the frame opening 11. Therefore, by adjusting the relative position of the installation assembly and the channel, the dishwasher can always be located in the middle of the channel, and a gap is left between the dishwasher and the side wall of the channel so that the installation assembly can be conveniently connected laterally, which reduces the difficulty of installing the dishwasher and ensures better ventilation and heat dissipation of the dishwasher.

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, an optimized and improved mounting assembly is introduced.

[0111] In the installation assembly, the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 is a rectangle. The frame opening 11 is a rectangle similar to the frame surface and is located in the middle of the frame surface.

[0112] In order to make the same positioning frame 10 applicable to a wider range of channel sizes, a support foot 13 is provided at each vertex of the rectangular frame surface.

[0113] Specifically, the legs 13 extend from the top corners of the rectangular frame surface along the diagonal line of the frame opening 11 in a direction away from the frame opening 11. When the positioning frame 10 is set on the channel, the legs 13 are connected to the end surface of the inlet end of the channel.

[0114] In this embodiment, providing the support feet 13 on the positioning frame 10 not only increases the channel size range that the positioning frame 10 can be applied to, but also allows the frame surface of the positioning frame 10 to maintain the original area, thereby saving manufacturing materials and reducing weight gain.

[0115] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
