It usually includes a gas stove, a range hood, a steam oven, a disinfection cabinet, and an operation panel. The integrated design saves kitchen space, makes the kitchen look tidier, and simplifies the user's kitchen operation process by integrating multiple functions into one device. Most integrated range hoods are equipped with a timer. Traditional timers are purchased externally by manufacturers. The display screens of ordinary timers are rough, so manufacturers will choose to additionally install glass on the timer for light transmission to improve the aesthetics of the timer display.

[0003] However, when installing the display screen of the cover structure, it is necessary to install the timer and the glass on the panel in sequence, resulting in a complex assembly process. During the assembly process, the glass is prone to falling off, affecting the normal assembly of the timer. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0027] A timer fixing mechanism. The timer fixing mechanism in this patent is used in an integrated stove. The integrated stove includes a frame 1 and a cooktop panel 2. Below the cooktop panel 2, there is a switch panel 12, and the switch panel 12 is the installation panel described in this patent. The installation panel is provided with a timing installation frame 4, and the timing installation frame 4 is made of plastic material; the timing installation frame 4 is provided with a timing installation groove 45, and a timer 3 is arranged in the timing installation groove 45; the timing installation groove 45 is provided with a light-transmitting part 41 for exposing the timer 3 outward, and the installation panel is provided with a timing installation opening 124 for placing the timing installation frame 4.

[0028] As Figure 2-5 shown, the timer 3 is square, it has a housing, and a corresponding circuit board is arranged in the housing. The timer 3 is installed on the timing installation frame 4, and then the timing installation frame 4 with the timer 3 installed is fixed on the switch panel 12 to achieve assembly. Combining Figure 2 、 3 shown, the switch panel 12 has an upper connection surface 121 and a lower connection surface 122. The two sides of the timing installation frame 4 are provided with connecting flanges 43. The installation panel is provided with the upper connection surface 121 and the lower connection surface 122 opposite to the connecting flanges 43, and the upper connection surface 121 and the lower connection surface 122 are respectively connected to the connecting flanges 43 opposite to them.

[0029] Actually, as Figure 4 、 5As shown, a connecting flange 43 is provided on the outer edge of the timing mounting bracket 4. The connecting flange 43 is vertically arranged on the timing mounting bracket 4, and there are two of them, respectively opposite to the upper connecting surface 121 and the lower connecting surface 122. A fastening slot 125 is provided on the upper connecting surface 121 of the switch panel 12, and a fastening block 42 corresponding to the fastening slot 125 is provided on the connecting flange 43 on the upper side of the timing mounting bracket 4; the fastening slot 125 is arranged on the upper connecting surface 121, and the fastening block 42 is a resilient strip with an inverted buckle. The upper connection is achieved by inserting the fastening block 42 into the fastening slot 125. A fastening opening 44 is also provided on the connecting flange 43 on the lower side of the timing mounting bracket 4. The fastening opening 44 is actually a notch groove provided on the connecting flange 43, and a fastener is provided on the notch groove to connect with the lower connecting surface 122 of the switch panel 12. Thus, the timing mounting bracket 4 is fixed in the switch panel 12, and the timer 3 is exposed outward through the transparent part 41 at the bottom of the timing installation slot 45 and through the timing installation opening 124. Traditional timers 3 are directly fixed on the switch panel 12, so a glass needs to be provided on the switch panel 12 for light transmission display, which makes it inconvenient to disassemble the timer 3 during maintenance and affects the efficiency. In this patent, the timer 3 is directly placed in the timing mounting bracket 4, and the assembly of the timing mounting bracket 4 and the switch panel 12 is simpler, thus accelerating the assembly efficiency and reducing the maintenance difficulty.

[0030] As Figure 4 , 5 shown, actually, the timing installation slot 45 is arranged at the center of the timing mounting bracket 4. A number of elastic members 46 are provided on the edge of the timing installation slot 45. The timer 3 is located in the timing installation slot 45, and the timer 3 is positioned by the elastic members 46 pressing it inward. The elastic members 46 include a number of elastic sheets. The elastic sheets have a rising part and a falling part. The rising part is connected to the timing mounting bracket 4, and the falling part is used to abut against the timer 3. A receiving part 47 is formed between the end of the elastic sheet and the bottom of the timing installation slot 45. A boss part 31 is provided on the outer edge of the timer 3. The boss part 31 is used to overcome the elastic force of the elastic sheet and be placed in the receiving part 47. During installation, the timer 3 can be directly pressed from the outside to the inside, causing the elastic sheet to deflect outward. Until the boss part 31 is located in the receiving part 47, the elastic sheet is reset by its own resilience, so that the boss part 31 is limited on the elastic sheet, and at the same time, the timer 3 is pressed inward to achieve the positioning of the timer 3. The transparent part 41 includes a glass surface provided at the bottom of the timing installation slot 45. The timer 3 can display outward through this glass surface to achieve timing prompts.

[0031] Further, several support ribs 48 are provided on the inner side of the connecting flange 43. The support ribs 48 are triangular in shape and are provided in several numbers, which can be used to strengthen the strength of the connecting flange 43, thereby increasing the stability of the entire timing connecting frame. Further, the support ribs 48 are provided with arc-shaped guiding surfaces 481, and the arc-shaped guiding surfaces 481 are used to enable the timer 3 to enter the timing mounting frame 4 along them, so as to facilitate the installation of the timer 3.

[0032] Further, the light-transmitting portion 41 is convexly provided on the timing mounting frame 4 and is embedded in the timing mounting opening 124. As Figure 4 , 5 shown, the light-transmitting portion 41 is actually a light-transmitting plastic surface. The light-transmitting portion 41 is set to protrude outward when it is formed in its mold, and the protruding degree is consistent with the depth of the timing mounting opening 124. When the timing mounting frame 4 is installed on the switch panel 12, the protruding light-transmitting portion 41 is embedded in the timing mounting opening 124 to form a complete plane, so that the entire timer looks more beautiful.
