Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a glass panel assembly structure, an electric rice cooker and a household appliance. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the upper cover of mid-to-high-end rice cookers in the industry uses a glass panel structure, which is not only beautiful, but also more durable than plastic panels.

[0003] Currently, the assembly of glass panels mainly uses glass and brackets to form a ground-to-sky structure, which are bonded together with glue and then assembled to the upper cover, and are fastened with buckles or screws.

[0004] However, in the actual production process, the tolerance of glass is affected by the size. The tolerance of large-sized glass panels such as those of range hoods and gas stoves (size of about 800-1000mm) is about 1mm (+1.0); the glass panels of rice cookers (size of about 300-400mm) have an average tolerance of ±0.3mm. The tolerance of plastic parts (size 200-400mm) for assembling glass panels is as low as ±0.38mm and as high as ±0.65mm depending on the accuracy level. The fitting clearance caused by the cumulative tolerance of glass and plastic parts is inevitable, which makes the glass panel and the bracket abnormal during assembly, resulting in poor assembly consistency and low qualified rate. For example, if the glass panel is too large or the bracket is too small, the glass panel cannot be fully installed in the bracket, which will cause the edge to warp and the local bonding to be inadequate. If the glass panel cannot be fully installed in the bracket, it may even cause the bracket to be scrapped, resulting in increased production costs. If the glass size is too small or the bracket size is too large, the gap between the glass panel and the bracket is large. After gluing, there will still be a gap. Common dirt such as oil, detergent, etc. are likely to remain in the gap, affecting the appearance. There may even be some corrosive liquids in the gap, which will cause the glass panel adhesive to fail and reduce the service life of the product. Utility Model Content

[0042] The utility model provides a glass panel assembly structure, an electric rice cooker and a household appliance capable of improving the assembly consistency and the qualified rate of the glass panels.

[0043] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution provided by the utility model is described in more detail.

[0044] The present invention provides a glass panel assembly structure, comprising a panel bracket 100, wherein the panel bracket 100 is an annular structure, and a mounting groove 110 adapted to a glass panel 200 is provided on the panel bracket 100, and the glass panel 200 is mounted in the mounting groove 110;

[0045] At least one opening 120 is provided on the panel bracket 100, and a buffer member 150 is provided between the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120. An adjustment component is provided on the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120, and the adjustment component is used to drive the two free ends of the opening 120 to move relatively closer or away from each other to adjust the compression amount of the buffer member 150.

[0046] The glass panel assembly structure provided by the present invention includes a panel bracket 100 with an annular structure. The panel bracket 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110 for mounting a glass panel 200. The panel bracket 100 is provided with at least one opening 120, and a buffer member 150 and an adjustment component are provided between the two free ends of the opening 120. The adjustment component is used to drive the two free ends of the opening 120 to move relatively closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the compression amount of the compression buffer member 150, so that the gap between the panel bracket 100 and the glass panel 200 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the assembly consistency and qualified rate of the glass panel 200, effectively reducing production costs, and avoiding the existence of assembly gaps, thereby ensuring the service life of the product.

[0047] It can be understood that if the glass panel 200 is too large or the panel bracket 100 is too small, the compression amount of the compression buffer 150 can be reduced, so that the size of the panel bracket 100 becomes larger, so that the panel bracket 100 and the glass panel 200 can be adaptively installed; if the glass size is too small or the panel bracket 100 is too large, the compression amount of the buffer 150 can be increased, so that the size of the panel bracket 100 becomes smaller, so that the panel bracket 100 and the glass panel 200 can be adaptively installed.

[0048] After the glass panel 200 and the panel bracket 100 are adaptively installed, firstly, it can ensure that the panel bracket 100 and the glass panel 200 do not need to be scrapped, thereby reducing production costs; secondly, after the glass panel 200 and the panel bracket 100 are glued together, the gap between the two is completely filled, thereby preventing dirt from entering, ensuring the bonding effect, and ensuring the service life of the product.

[0049] In a further improvement of the present invention, mounting ears 160 away from the mounting slot 110 are provided on two free ends of at least one of the openings 120 , and the adjustment assembly is connected to the mounting ears 160 .

[0050] In the above-mentioned further improvement of the present invention, mounting ears 160 are provided on the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120, away from the mounting slot 110, and the adjustment component is connected to the mounting ears 160. Since the mounting ears 160 are provided away from the mounting slot 110, the adjustment component can be hidden, and the two mounting ears 160 can be not exposed to the outside, and the user will not directly see the adjustment component, thereby ensuring that the product has a better appearance effect and making the product more beautiful.

[0051] It should be noted here that since the mounting ear 160 is arranged in a direction away from the mounting groove 110, when the panel bracket 100 is installed, for example: when the panel bracket 100 is used on an electric rice cooker, a corresponding avoidance groove needs to be provided on the electric rice cooker cover 300 to accommodate the mounting ear 160 and avoid interference between the mounting ear 160 and the cover 300.

[0052] In a further improvement of the present invention, the buffer member 150 includes a main body 151 and an extension portion 152, wherein the main body 151 is located between the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120, and the extension portion 152 is located between the two mounting ears 160 on the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120.

[0053] In the above-mentioned further improvement of the present invention, the buffer member 150 includes a main body 151 and an extension portion 152. The main body 151 is located between the two free ends of at least one of the openings 120. The main body 151 can be squeezed by the two free ends of the opening 120 under the adjustment of the adjustment component, and the compression amount changes accordingly, which can ensure the installation effect and sealing effect of the panel bracket 100, and ensure that there is no gap between the panel bracket 100 and the glass panel 200 after installation, and dirt is not easy to enter; the extension portion 152 is arranged between the two mounting ears 160, and the pressure of the adjustment component directly acts on the mounting ears 160 and the extension portion 152, which can better control the adjustment amount of the adjustment component, avoid the situation where the adjustment force is not controlled in place, resulting in excessive compression of the glass panel 200, and effectively protect the glass panel 200.

[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the main body 151 and the extension portion 152 are in a T-shaped structure.

[0055] In a further improvement of the present invention, the adjustment assembly is a bolt 130 and a nut 140. The bolt 130 and the nut 140 are easy and quick to adjust and have low cost.

[0056] In a further improvement of the present invention, the cross-section of the mounting groove 110 of the panel bracket 100 is L-shaped. The glass panel 200 is installed in the mounting groove 110. The L-shaped structure of the mounting groove 110 can better adapt to the glass panel 200, ensuring that all four sides of the glass panel 200 can be well aligned with the side walls of the mounting groove 110, thereby improving the installation effect of the glass panel 200 and the panel bracket 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the buffer member 150 is made of an elastic material, specifically, silicone or rubber.

[0058] The utility model provides an electric rice cooker, comprising an upper cover 300 , a glass panel 200 and the glass panel 200 assembly structure as described above, wherein the panel bracket 100 is detachably arranged on the upper cover 300 , and the glass panel 200 is installed in the installation groove 110 .
