Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air outlet panel, in particular to an air outlet panel structure suitable for a cabinet. Background Art

[0002] To enhance the cooking experience, refrigerated range hoods were invented. These range hoods primarily consist of a fume extraction module and a refrigeration module. The refrigeration module's cold air outlet is located on the top front of the refrigeration hood, evenly distributing cool air to the kitchen via an air outlet panel. For cabinets without doors, the air outlet panel is mounted on a decorative hood. For cabinets with doors, the air outlet panel must be installed flush with the doors, and the depth of each cabinet varies. Furthermore, the cabinet's reserved width is wider than the refrigeration range hood's, and the blank space on either side of the refrigeration range hood must be shielded to maintain the cabinet's integrity. This poses significant challenges to the air outlet panel's installation. The current air outlet panel installation structure, when the user's home cabinet has cabinet doors, installs a bracket and an adjustable bracket that can be adjusted forward and backward on the decorative cover. The position of the adjustable bracket is adjusted according to the different cabinet depths, and then the air outlet panel is fixed on the adjustable bracket to ensure that the air outlet panel is flush with the cabinet door; the adjustable bracket has a clip for fixing the decorative cover, and then a decorative cover is installed on the left and right sides of the air outlet panel through the clip to cover the blank area on both sides of the refrigeration range hood; the decorative cover is also installed with left and right adjustable blocks to adapt to cabinets of different widths. The above-mentioned air outlet panel installation structure has the following problems: First, the installation structure of the air outlet panel and the decorative cover involves a large number of parts, and the installation steps are numerous and complicated; second, the bracket needs to be fixed to the decorative cover first, and then the adjustable bracket is fixed. The adjustable bracket is difficult to adjust and requires repeated adjustments to ensure that the air outlet panel is flush with the cabinet door, resulting in low installation efficiency and poor reliability. Third, the clips for fixing the decorative cover are weak, and the decorative cover will slide up and down, affecting the overall appearance. Utility Model Content
