[0065] An embodiment of the present invention provides an installation structure for installing a cooking appliance on an installation surface. It should be noted that the cooking appliances in the embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, ovens, disinfection cabinets, dishwashers, etc. The type of the cooking appliance does not limit the structure of the installation structure.

[0066] The embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking the installation structure applied to a microwave oven as an example:

[0067] An over-the-range microwave oven (OTR) above a stove refers to a microwave oven with both functions of sucking fumes and microwave heating. The OTR is a suspended microwave oven installed above the stove. The OTR can suck fumes, water vapor, etc. generated during the heating process of the cooking appliance, that is, perform a ventilation function to prevent fume pollution to the human body and the indoor environment.

[0068] During the installation process of the OTR microwave oven, the OTR microwave oven is generally installed and fixed on the wall above the stove top and the bottom of the cabinet, so that there is a certain distance between the OTR microwave oven and the stove top in the height direction. The existing installation steps for the OTR microwave oven are mainly as follows: First, install and fix a back mounting plate at a specific position on the wall, then directly pick up the OTR microwave oven, tilt it forward, hook the slot at the bottom edge of the back of the OTR on the lower tongue of the mounting plate, and then rotate the front of the OTR upward to make it close to the bottom of the cabinet; then use self-aligning screws to connect the microwave oven to the top cabinet through the holes in the bottom of the cabinet for fixation. It should be noted that generally, the weight of the OTR is about 28 kg, and the distance from the bottom of the installation cabinet to the ground is about 170 - 200 cm. Therefore, the entire installation process of the OTR requires the cooperation of two people, requires a lot of installation tools, the installation steps are relatively cumbersome, the installation time is relatively long, the labor cost is high, and the disassembly of the relevant installation structure is difficult, and the installation structure cannot be reused after disassembly.

[0069] An embodiment of the present invention provides an installation structure, referring to Figure 1As shown in the figure, the installation structure includes a connection mechanism 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and an unlocking member 3. The connection mechanism 1 is used to fix the cooking appliance 5 to the installation surface 6. That is to say, the connection mechanism 1 can be detachably connected to the cooking appliance 5, and the connection mechanism 1 can also be detachably connected to the installation surface 6 to achieve the fixation of the cooking appliance 5 to the installation surface 6. It should be noted that when the cooking appliance is set as an OTR, the installation surface 6 in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the wall surface above the stove. In the state where the cooking appliance 5 is fixed to the installation surface 6, the clamping mechanism 2 locks the cooking appliance 5. It should be noted that the clamping mechanism 2 in the embodiment of the present invention can be connected to the connection mechanism 1, or the clamping mechanism 2 is connected to the cooking appliance 5, or the clamping mechanism 2 is divided into multiple parts so that the clamping mechanism 2 connects the connection mechanism 1 and the cooking appliance 5 at the same time. That is to say, in addition to fixing the cooking appliance 5 and the installation surface 6 through the connection mechanism 1, the installation structure in the embodiment of the present invention also restricts the relative position relationship between the cooking appliance 5 and the connection mechanism 1 or the installation surface 6 through the clamping mechanism 2, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the cooking appliance and the installation surface, and facilitating the reduction of the installation difficulty.

[0070] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the unlocking member 3 is connected to the clamping mechanism 2, and the unlocking member 3 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move relative to the cooking appliance 5 to release the locking of the clamping mechanism 2 and the cooking appliance 5. That is to say, in the state where the cooking appliance is installed, the clamping mechanism 2 locks the cooking appliance 5 so that the relative position between the cooking appliance 5 and the installation surface 6 is fixed. When it is necessary to remove the cooking appliance 5 from the installation surface 6, the unlocking member 3 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move relative to the cooking appliance 5 to release the locking of the clamping mechanism 2 on the cooking appliance 5. During the disassembly process, the interference of the clamping mechanism 2 on the cooking appliance is reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the cooking appliance, and at the same time reducing the degree of damage to the clamping mechanism 2 during the disassembly process, which is beneficial to the reuse of the installation structure.

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention provides an installation structure, which includes a connection mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and an unlocking member. The connection mechanism is used to fix the cooking appliance to the installation surface. In the state where the cooking appliance is fixed to the installation surface, the clamping mechanism locks the cooking appliance. The unlocking member is connected to the clamping mechanism and is used to drive the clamping mechanism to move relative to the cooking appliance to release the locking of the clamping mechanism and the cooking appliance. By setting the clamping mechanism in the embodiment of the present invention, it is beneficial to further enhance the stability of the connection between the cooking appliance and the installation surface, and the unlocking member can release the locking of the clamping mechanism and the cooking appliance during the disassembly process, thereby reducing the interference of the clamping mechanism on the cooking appliance during the disassembly process, reducing the difficulty of disassembling the cooking appliance, and also reducing the degree of damage to the clamping mechanism during the disassembly process of the cooking appliance, which is beneficial to the reuse of the installation structure and further improves the user experience.

[0072] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the setting forms of the limiting mechanism and the unlocking member, as long as the unlocking member can release the locking of the cooking appliance by the limiting mechanism.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a first limiting member 21 and a second limiting member 22. Referring to Figure 12 as shown, the first limiting member 21 is arranged on the back 51 of the cooking appliance. The second limiting member 22 is connected to the connecting mechanism 1, and the unlocking member 3 is connected to the second limiting member 22. The unlocking member 3 can drive the second limiting member 22 to move relative to the connecting mechanism 1. In the state where the clamping mechanism 2 locks the cooking appliance 5, the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 are in limit. During the process of unlocking the clamping mechanism 2 and the cooking appliance 5, the unlocking member 3 drives the second limiting member 22 to disengage from the limit with the first limiting member 21. That is to say, the unlocking member 3 in the embodiments of the present invention changes the relative position relationship between the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22. In the locked state, the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 remain in limit to achieve fixation; during the unlocking process, the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 are disengaged from the limit under the action of the unlocking member 3, so as to achieve separation. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific limiting form of the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22. The limiting form includes but is not limited to circumferential limiting or limiting in a certain straight line direction. The embodiments of the present invention also do not limit the setting form of the unlocking member 3, as long as an external force acts on the unlocking member 3, so that the unlocking member 3 can drive the first limiting member 21 to move relative to the second limiting member 22 to release the lock.

[0074] By setting the unlocking member in the embodiments of the present invention, it can not only ensure the stability of the limiting state between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, but also facilitate the switching of the relative position relationship between the first limiting member and the second limiting member during the disassembly process, reduce the difficulty of unlocking, and do not require violent disassembly of the first limiting member and the second limiting member, reduce the structural damage to the limiting mechanism, and is beneficial to repeated use.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, at least part of the second limiting member 22 can move relative to the connecting mechanism 1 in a first direction ( Figure 5 the up and down direction shown), in the state where the cooking appliance is fixed to the installation surface, the first direction is the height direction of the cooking appliance 5 (refer to Figure 1The vertical direction shown). It should be noted that in other embodiments, the direction of relative movement of the second limiting member 22 may also be a direction perpendicular to the first direction, or other curved directions, etc. The movement direction of the second limiting member 22 in the present invention includes but is not limited to the above several embodiments. Among them, taking the example that at least a part of the second limiting member 22 can move relative to the connecting mechanism 1 in the first direction for illustration:

[0076] By setting the movement direction of the second limiting member 22 in the first direction, which is the height direction of the cooking appliance in the installed state. That is to say, during the unlocking process, the unlocking member 3 is affected by an external force to change the position of the second limiting member 22. Therefore, the external force on the unlocking member 3 needs to be set at least along the first direction to change the movement state of the second limiting member 22. The external force also needs to be at least in the first direction. In the installed state, this first direction is consistent with the direction of gravity. Compared with applying an external force in other directions, the first direction is more conducive to the user applying an external force, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 and Figure 14 shown, the first limiting member 21 includes a first mounting portion 211 and a second mounting portion 212. The first mounting portion 211 is used to be fixed to the cooking appliance 5. Specifically, the first mounting portion 211 can be fixed to the back 51 of the cooking appliance. Among them, the back 51 of the cooking appliance can be understood as the side facing away from the user in the normal use state. The extending direction of the first mounting portion 211 can be generally fitted with the back 51 of the cooking appliance, and through holes can be provided on the first mounting portion 211 to fix the first mounting portion 211 to the back 51 by means of bolts.

[0078] Such as Figure 5 shown, the second mounting portion 212 is bent relative to the first mounting portion 211, and the second mounting portion 212 is provided with a clamping groove 213. In the locked state, at least a part of the second limiting member 22 extends into the clamping groove 213; in the unlocked state, the second limiting member 22 disengages from the clamping groove 213. It should be noted that the clamping groove 213 in the embodiments of the present invention can be a groove with one end open, or a through hole penetrating in the first direction. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific setting form of the clamping groove 213. In the embodiment where the clamping groove 213 is set as a through hole, it is beneficial to reduce the total weight of the entire first limiting member and also beneficial to improve the stability of the limit.

[0079] The working principle of the second installation part 212 is described below. During the installation process, the cooking appliance and the installation surface are pre-fixed through the connecting mechanism 1 first, and then the cooking appliance is further driven to move relative to the installation surface to achieve secondary fixation. During the secondary fixation process, combined with Figures 10 - 12 As shown, the back 51 of the cooking appliance moves towards the installation surface, and the cooking appliance drives the first limiting member 21 to move towards the installation surface. During the movement, the second installation part 212 gradually approaches the second limiting member 22. Until after the second installation part 212 contacts the second limiting member 22, an external force drives the second installation part 212 to press against the second limiting member 22, causing the second limiting member 22 to move in the first direction. When the clamping groove 213 moves to a position opposite to the second limiting member 22, the second limiting member 22 resumes its movement in the first direction to abut against the inside of the clamping groove 213, thereby restricting the further movement of the second installation part 212. Through the limitation of the clamping groove 213 in the second installation part 212 and the second limiting member 22, the secondary fixation of the cooking appliance and the installation surface is achieved.

[0080] During the disassembly process, as Figure 2 shown, an external force acts on the unlocking member 3. Combined with Figure 5 As shown, the unlocking member 3 drives the second limiting member 22 to move in the first direction, so that the second limiting member 22 disengages from the clamping groove 213, thereby releasing the limitation between the second installation part 212 and the second limiting member 22, and further releasing the fixation between the cooking appliance and the installation surface.

[0081] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting member 22 includes a movable member 221, a support 222, and an elastic member 223. The movable member 221 can move relative to the connecting mechanism 1 in the first direction ( Figure 3 shown as the up and down direction), referring to Figure 6 As shown, the movable member 221 has a first end face 224 in the first direction. The first end face 224 is perpendicular to the first direction. The support 222 is spaced from the first end face 224 in the first direction. The elastic member 223 abuts between the first end face 224 and the support 222. Among them, the unlocking member 3 is connected to the movable member 221, and the unlocking member 3 is used to drive the movable member 221 to move in the first direction. Specifically, during the installation process, the first limiting member 21 is externally forced to abut against the movable member 221, causing the movable member 221 to move downward in the first direction, so that the distance between the first end face 224 and the support 222 in the first direction becomes shorter, thereby compressing the elastic member 223. In the state where the clamping groove in the first limiting member 21 is limited to the movable member 221, the elastic member 223 recovers part of its deformation, but the elastic member 223 is still in a deformed state as a whole, so that the reaction force of the deformation of the elastic member 223 presses against the movable member 221 and the clamping groove for stable limitation.

[0082] It should be noted that the elastic member in the embodiment of the present invention includes but is not limited to a compression spring, a torsion spring and other components having the ability to deform and restore deformation.

[0083] During the disassembly process, external force acts on the unlocking member 3, and the unlocking member 3 drives the movable member 221 to move downward along the first direction, so that the movable member 221 is disengaged from the limit of the card slot. Then, after the external force on the unlocking member 3 disappears, the restoring force of the elastic member 223 drives the movable member 221 to move upward along the first direction to restore the position of the movable member 221 for subsequent reuse.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and 6 As shown, the connecting mechanism 1 is provided in a first direction ( Figure 6 The movable member 221 is movably disposed in the first through hole 10. When the movable member 221 is not subjected to external force, the movable member 221 protrudes from the upper end of the first through hole 10 in the first direction. Under the action of external force, the movable member 221 retracts relative to the first through hole 10 in the first direction. The elastic member 223 is located between the first through hole 10 and the support 222 in the first direction.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first through hole 10 is provided in the connecting mechanism 1 , and the first through hole 10 can limit the movement of the movable member 221 in the first direction in the circumferential direction, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the movable member 221 .

[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the support 222 is provided in a first direction ( Figure 6 The movable member 221 comprises a column 2211, an abutment 2212 and a slider 2213. The column 2211 is movably arranged in the second through hole 2221, and the elastic member 223 is sleeved on the outside of the column 2211, and the elastic member 223 abuts against the support 222 on one side in the first direction; the abutment 2212 is connected to one end of the column 2211, and the abutment 2212 is arranged on the side of the support 222 away from the elastic member 223 in the first direction; the first end face 224 of the slider 2213 is fixed to the other end of the column 2211. The abutment 2212 can be set as a nut, and an external thread is set on the end of the column 2211 away from the slider 2213, and the nut is fixed to the external thread. The assembly and disassembly is convenient, which is conducive to separate processing, manufacturing and packaging.

[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 9 , Figure 13As shown, the slider 2213 has a second end face 225 in the first direction. The second end face 225 is disposed opposite to the first end face 224, that is to say, the second end face 225 and the first end face 224 are disposed at opposite ends of the slider 2213 in the first direction. The second end face 225 is inclined relative to the first end face 224. Among them, the first end face 224 can be perpendicular to the first direction. It can be understood that in the installed state, the first end face 224 is in the horizontal direction. The inclination of the second end face 225 means that the second end face 225 can be inclined relative to the horizontal direction in this state. Specifically, the angle between the second end face and the first direction can be set to be greater than or equal to 15 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees. And the second end face 225 is disposed on the side facing the first limiting member 21.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, by inclining the second end face 225, during the installation process, the first limiting member 21 moves towards the second end face 225. After the first limiting member 21 contacts the second end face 225, the first limiting member 21 applies a force to the second end face 225. Since the second end face 225 is inclined, the second end face 225 can convert the force into a component force in the first direction to further drive the cylinder 2211 to move in the first direction, which is beneficial to reducing the efficiency of force conversion and further reducing the difficulty of changing the motion state of the slider.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, the connecting mechanism 1 includes a first connecting component 11 and a second connecting component 12. The first connecting component 11 is used to be fixed to the back 51 of the cooking appliance. The second connecting component 12 is used to be fixed to the installation surface. At least part of the clamping component (refer to the second limiting member 22 shown in Figure 12 ) is connected to the second connecting component 12, and the second connecting component 12 is hinged to the first connecting component 11. In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the connecting mechanism as the relatively hinged first connecting component 11 and second connecting component 12, during the installation process, the first connecting component 11 is pre-fixed to the cooking appliance, and the second connecting component 12 is fixed to the installation surface. Then the user drives the cooking appliance to move towards the direction close to the installation surface. During the movement, it rotates with the hinged position of the first connecting component 11 and the second connecting component 12 as the support point. This support point can provide a certain supporting force for the cooking appliance, thereby saving the user's physical strength. Specifically, the weight of the OTR is about 28 kg. Through the support of the support point in the above connecting mechanism, the maximum force required during the installation process is only 16 kg, which is much lower than the weight of the OTR itself, saving about 40% of the force. The installation is labor-saving and reliable, which is beneficial for a person to easily complete the installation, thereby saving the cost required for installation.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 andFigure 7 As shown, the first connection component 11 includes a third installation part 111 and a fourth installation part 112. The third installation part 111 is used to be fixed to the cooking appliance, the fourth installation part 112 is connected to the third installation part 111, and the fourth installation part 112 is detachably connected to the second connection component 12, and the fourth installation part 112 can rotate relative to the second connection component 12. "Detachable" means that the third installation part 111 and the cooking appliance can be installed separately, and the second connection component 12 and the installation surface can be installed separately, so that the installation of the cooking appliance and the installation surface is not restricted by the structure of the connection mechanism. Then, the fourth installation part 112 is connected to the second connection component 12. After connection, the fourth installation part 112 and the second connection component 12 can rotate relative to each other, so as to play a supporting role during the installation process.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 8 shown, the second connection component 12 includes a connecting rod 121. The connecting rod 121 is used to be fixed to the installation surface. One end of the connecting rod 121 in the first direction ( Figure 2 the upper end shown) is connected to the clamping mechanism 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 121 in the first direction ( Figure 2 the lower end shown) is drivably connected to the first connection component 11. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 shown, the lower end of the connecting rod 121 in the first direction is rotatably connected to the fourth installation part 112.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 8 shown, the other end of the connecting rod 121 in the first direction ( Figure 4 the lower end shown) is provided with a bent portion 122. Combining Figure 2 shown, the opening 123 of the bent portion 122 faces the clamping mechanism 2, and the fourth installation part 112 is rotatably connected to the bent portion 122. In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a bent portion with an upward opening at the lower end of the connecting rod, the fourth installation part can not only realize the rotational connection with the bent portion, but also realize the detachable connection between the fourth installation part and the bent portion, which is convenient for installation and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0093] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, there are multiple connection mechanisms 1. The multiple connection mechanisms 1 are arranged in the second direction ( Figure 2The above-mentioned all directions) are arranged at intervals, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In the normal assembled state, the second direction can be understood as the horizontal direction, and the first direction can be understood as the vertical direction. By setting the connecting mechanism 1 as multiple, it is beneficial to improve the installation stability. It should be noted that the number of the connecting mechanism 1 set in the embodiment of the present invention includes but is not limited to two, three, four, five, etc., and the number of the connecting mechanism set can be set according to the volume of the cooking appliance to be installed. Among them, Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, two connecting mechanisms 1 are provided.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, each connecting mechanism 1 is correspondingly provided with a clamping mechanism 2, and the same unlocking member 3 connects multiple clamping mechanisms 2. By setting multiple clamping mechanisms 2, it is beneficial to improve the installation stability of the cooking appliance. By connecting multiple clamping mechanisms 2 to the same unlocking member 3, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of user operation. The user only needs to apply a force on the unlocking member to synchronously unlock multiple clamping mechanisms 2, and the operation is convenient and fast, reducing the difficulty of user disassembly.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the installation structure further includes an installation plate 7. The installation plate 7 is fixed to multiple connecting mechanisms 1. The installation plate 7 is provided with a through positioning hole 71, and the installation plate 7 is fixed to the keel position of the installation surface through the positioning hole 71. It should be noted that the positioning hole 71 in the embodiment of the present invention plays a role of positioning and fixing. Specifically, the keel refers to the skeleton that plays a supporting role in the building wall. By setting the positioning hole 71 on the installation plate 7, the position where the keel is set can be accurately positioned through the positioning hole 71, which is beneficial to positioning the installation plate near the keel position and using the support of the keel position to improve the installation stability of the installation plate, thereby improving the fixing stability of the cooking appliance.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the unlocking member 3 is set as a steel wire rope. In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the unlocking member as a steel wire rope, the steel wire rope can bear a certain load, and the steel wire rope also has a certain anti-corrosion and anti-rust effect, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the installation structure.

[0097] The embodiment of the present invention provides an OTR microwave oven assembly. The OTR microwave oven assembly includes the installation structure according to any of the above embodiments and an OTR microwave oven. The OTR microwave oven is detachably connected to the installation structure. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 10 - 12 shown, the following describes the installation process of the OTR microwave oven assembly:

[0098] When the user gets the installation structure, the first limiting member 21 and the first connection assembly 11 have been installed and fixed on the OTR microwave oven (refer to Figure 12 the back 51 shown) with screws. During installation, the overall installation structure installed on the back of the cabinet (refer to Figure 10 the installation surface 6 shown) has also been pre-installed as a whole (except for the mounting plate 7), and the user does not need to install it by themselves. The installation process of the integral installation structure is as follows: Refer to Figure 6 shown, the user first assembles the second limiting member 22 by themselves, connects the cylinder 2211 and the slider 2213 together with an elastic pin, sleaves the elastic member 223 on the cylinder 2211, then passes the cylinder 2211 through the second through hole 2221 and sleaves it on the support 222. Subsequently, sleave the slider on the first through hole 10 above the second connection assembly 12, fix the support 222 at the corresponding position above the first connection assembly 11 with screws, then sleave the compression ring of the steel wire rope (unlocking member 3) on the cylinder 2211, and screw the nut (abutting member 2212) onto the cylinder 2211. The above is the overall structure installed on the back of the cabinet (installation surface 6) (this process does not require the user to install by hand). What the user gets is the above integral installation structure and a mounting plate. When the user installs, first determine the position where the second connection assembly 12 is fixed on the installation surface 6, and fix the second connection assembly 12 and the support together on the back of the cabinet with screws. Subsequently, fix the mounting plate 7 at a specific position with screws; then place the OTR microwave oven obliquely on the middle tabletop of the cabinet (the bottom of the OTR microwave oven is facing up), and sleave the first connection assembly 11 at the bottom of the OTR microwave oven from top to bottom into the bending part 122 below the second connection assembly 12, and then slowly turn the OTR microwave oven upwards ( Figure 11 ), until the first limiting member 21 on the back 51 of the OTR microwave oven touches the second limiting member 22. Hold the OTR microwave oven with one hand, and pull the steel wire rope (unlocking member 3) on the back of the OTR microwave oven with the other hand to drive the second limiting member 22 to move downwards. Then slowly turn the OTR microwave oven again. When the OTR microwave oven is in place (the second limiting member 22 can move in the first direction to be clamped with the first limiting member), release the steel wire rope (unlocking member 3). As Figure 6 shown, the slider 2213 moves reversely upwards under the compression of the elastic member 223, and the slider 2213 sleaves in the limiting groove of the first limiting member. At this time, the entire installation process is completed. Due to the limiting effect of the slider, the OTR microwave oven cannot rotate reversely and is firmly installed on the installation surface.

[0099] When the installation is finally completed, the first limit member, the slider, the support and the second connecting component are parallel, and the second connecting component is tightly against the installation surface. During the entire installation process, due to the upward support of the OTR microwave oven by the second connecting component, the upward force required during the installation process can be saved. In addition, the installation process of this installation structure has fewer steps, less installation time, fewer installation tools, extremely labor-saving installation, and extremely reliable installation. It can be easily installed by one person, saving considerable installation costs. In addition, when disassembling the OTR, you only need to pull down the unlocking piece to disengage the first limit member from the limiting effect of the second limit member, and then slowly flip the OTR over, which is convenient and quick.

[0100] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
