Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a hanging rack assembly and a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, wall-mounted range hoods are generally installed using a bracket structure. To ensure that the hooks don't detach from the mounting holes after being inserted, traditional brackets typically have the hooks angled upwards. However, while this type of bracket effectively limits the hook's position and prevents it from slipping out, it requires the range hood to be raised and then lowered into place during installation. This vertical movement necessitates leaving space above the range hood, resulting in a gap between the range hood's smoke collection hood and the lower side of the cabinet after installation. This affects the overall aesthetics and can lead to dust accumulation.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mounting bracket assembly to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a mounting bracket assembly and a range hood that allows the range hood to be installed horizontally from front to back, and the hooks to be inserted horizontally into the hanging holes, thereby achieving the assembly of the hooks and the hanging holes. This solves the problem in the prior art where the hooks are tilted upwards, and the range hood can only be installed from top to bottom so that the hooks can be inserted vertically into the hanging holes. This requires leaving enough space in the vertical direction for installation, and after the range hood is installed, the reserved space is left unused, forming gaps that result in an unsightly appearance and easy dust accumulation.

[0005] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions: A mounting bracket assembly, comprising: The bracket structure includes a bracket body and a hook disposed on the front side of the bracket body. The hook extends horizontally. The bracket body is installed on a pre-installed wall. The chassis of the machine to be installed has a hanging hole corresponding to the hook. The hook passes through the hanging hole from back to front. A locking structure is installed on the chassis, and the locking structure is detachably connected to the front end of the hook.

[0006] Optionally, the hook is provided with a locking hole, and the locking structure includes a first blade, a second blade, and a rotating shaft. The upper ends of the first blade and the second blade are both hinged to the rotating shaft. The second blade is located in front of the first blade. The first blade is connected to the chassis. The lower end of the second blade is set lower than the lower end of the first blade and is located in the hook hole. When the hook passes through the hook hole from back to front, the lower end of the second blade is inserted into the locking hole.

[0007] Optionally, multiple slots are arranged sequentially along the front-to-back direction, and the lower end of the second blade is inserted into any one of the slots.

[0008] Optionally, the locking structure further includes a limiting part, which is disposed between the first blade and the second blade and connected to the first blade.

[0009] Optionally, the hanger structure further includes a reinforcing member connected to the hanger body, the reinforcing member being located on the lower side of the hook and abutting against the lower side of the hook.

[0010] Optionally, the reinforcing member and the hook are integrally formed with the hanging bracket body.

[0011] Optionally, at least two hooks are provided in the left-right direction.

[0012] Optionally, at least two locking structures are provided along the left-right direction, and each locking structure corresponds to a hook.

[0013] Another aspect of the present invention provides a range hood, including a housing and the aforementioned mounting bracket assembly, wherein the mounting hole is formed on the upper part of the rear side panel of the housing.

[0014] Optionally, the front side of the rear panel has a recessed groove facing rearward, the hanging hole is formed in the groove, and the locking structure is installed in the groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The bracket assembly provided by the present invention includes a bracket structure and a locking structure. The bracket structure includes a bracket body and a hook disposed on the front side of the bracket body. The hook extends horizontally. The bracket body is installed on the pre-installed wall. The range hood housing has a hanging hole corresponding to the hook. The hook passes through the hanging hole from back to front. In this way, the range hood can be installed horizontally from front to back, and the hook can be inserted horizontally into the hanging hole, thereby realizing the assembly of the hook and the hanging hole. This solves the problem in the prior art where the hook is tilted upwards, and the range hood can only be installed from top to bottom to insert the hook vertically into the hanging hole. This requires leaving enough space in the vertical direction for installation. After the machine is installed, the reserved space is left unused, forming a gap, which causes an unsightly appearance and easy dust accumulation. The locking structure is installed on the chassis and is detachably connected to the front end of the hook, thereby limiting the distance between the hook and the hanging hole and preventing the hook from coming out of the hanging hole, thus ensuring the stability of the range hood installation.

[0018] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific embodiments of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in the present invention.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-10 The present invention provides a hanging bracket assembly, including a hanging bracket structure 100 and a locking structure 200. The bracket structure 100 includes a bracket body 11 and a hook 12 disposed on the front side of the bracket body 11. The hook 12 extends horizontally. The bracket body 11 is installed on the pre-installed wall. The casing 300 of the machine to be installed (in this embodiment, the machine to be installed is a range hood; in other embodiments, the machine to be installed can also be other electrical appliances) has a hanging hole 303 corresponding to the hook 12. The hook 12 passes through the hanging hole 303 from back to front. In this way, the range hood can be installed horizontally from front to back, and the hook 12 can be inserted horizontally into the hanging hole 303, thereby realizing the assembly of the hook 12 and the hanging hole 303. This solves the problem in the prior art where the hook 12 is tilted upwards, and the range hood can only be installed from top to bottom so that the hook 12 can be inserted vertically into the hanging hole 303. This requires leaving enough space in the vertical direction for installation. After the range hood is installed, the reserved space is left unused, forming a gap, which causes an unsightly appearance and easy dust accumulation. The locking structure 200 is installed on the housing 300. The locking structure 200 is detachably connected to the front end of the hook 12, thereby limiting the distance between the hook 12 and the hanging hole 303 and preventing the hook 12 from coming out of the hanging hole 303, thus ensuring the stability of the range hood installation.
