Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of embedded home appliance installation technology, and more specifically, to an installation component, a home appliance component, and a cabinet component. Background Technology

[0002] For home appliances using related solutions, such as built-in microwave ovens, the appliance is first mounted onto a slide rail. Then, the appliance and slide rail are inserted along guide grooves on the air guide plate into six locking positions on the plate. Finally, the flange at the front end of the slide rail is secured to the air guide plate with screws, thus fixing the slide rail to the air guide plate. This fixing method has a complex structure and high manufacturing costs.

[0003] Therefore, how to propose a simple and low-cost sliding rail fixing structure for home appliances has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to at least solve the problems of complex processing, high cost, and low overall fixing strength of the fixing structure of the installation slide rails for household appliances in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the first aspect of this application is to propose an installation component.

[0006] The second aspect of this application is to provide a household appliance component.

[0007] The third aspect of this application is to propose a cabinet assembly.

[0008] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an installation component for installing a home appliance inside a cabinet. The installation component includes: a guide plate for installation inside the cabinet, the guide plate having a plurality of first limiting buckles; and a slide rail for installation on the bottom of the home appliance, the slide rail being able to slide in from a first end of the guide plate along a first direction and be installed on the guide plate to install the home appliance inside the cabinet; wherein, the slide rail is provided with a second limiting buckle, the second limiting buckle being able to abut against the first limiting buckle in the first direction after the slide rail is installed on the guide plate, thereby limiting the installation position of the slide rail in the first direction, and abut against the first limiting buckle in the second direction, thereby limiting the installation position of the slide rail in the second direction.

[0009] An installation component according to an embodiment of this application is used to install home appliances inside a cabinet, thereby enabling the installation of the home appliances within the cabinet. The installation component includes an air guide base plate and a slide rail. The slide rail is installed to the bottom of the home appliance, and the air guide base plate is installed in the cabinet where the home appliance is to be installed. A first limiting buckle is provided on the air guide base plate, and a second limiting buckle is provided on the slide rail that can cooperate with the first limiting buckle. After the slide rail is installed in a fixed position on the air guide base plate, the first and second limiting buckles can abut in a first direction, i.e., the depth direction of the cabinet, and also in a second direction (e.g., the lateral direction of the cabinet). Thus, the first and second limiting buckles can limit the lateral installation position of the slide rail on the air guide base plate and its installation position in the depth direction of the cabinet. This structure, through the cooperation of the first and second limiting buckles, simultaneously achieves the lateral and longitudinal limiting of the air guide plate on the slide rail. This eliminates the need to add additional flanges to the slide rail for screwing, thus simplifying the structure of the entire installation assembly and reducing the processing cost of the installation assembly.

[0010] The cabinet can specifically refer to a kitchen cabinet. The home appliance can be a built-in appliance, or it can be any ordinary device that can be installed in the cabinet.

[0011] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the first limiting buckle includes two first connecting portions spaced apart along the second direction and a top plate portion connected to the two first connecting portions and spaced apart from the air guide base plate, the two first connecting portions and the top plate portion forming a groove facing the first end opening; the second limiting buckle includes a protrusion disposed on the rear end of the slide rail, the protrusion portion being able to be inserted into and limited within the groove.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first limiting buckle is connected to the air guide base plate at both ends along the second direction via two first connecting parts. Simultaneously, after the protrusion is inserted into the groove, the first limiting buckle can press down on the slide rail via the top plate, ensuring the installation stability of the slide rail on the air guide base plate. In this design, both the left and right sides of the first limiting buckle are connected to the air guide base plate, meaning there is no unsupported area on the left and right sides of the air guide base plate. This makes the connection between the first limiting buckle and the air guide base plate more reliable, resulting in higher strength of the limiting plate. This improves the stability of the first limiting buckle and ensures the overall installation stability of the machine.

[0013] Optionally, the first limiting buckle is an arc-shaped structure or a hemispherical structure.

[0014] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the top plate portion and the two first connecting portions are an integral structure, and the top plate portion and the two first connecting portions are connected in an arc shape; and / or the dimension of the groove along the thickness direction of the air guide plate gradually decreases from the first end of the air guide plate to the second end of the air guide plate.

[0015] In this embodiment, the top plate and the two first connecting parts can be connected in an arc-shaped structure. Alternatively, they can be connected in a U-shaped structure that is inverted on the air guide plate. The dimensions of the groove along the thickness direction of the air guide plate gradually decrease from the first end to the second end of the air guide plate. This prevents the protrusion from passing through the groove, thereby allowing the slide rail to be limited laterally and longitudinally by the inner wall of the groove.

[0016] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, there are multiple slide rails, which are installed at intervals along the second direction at the bottom of the home appliance, and the slide rails are arranged along the front and rear direction of the home appliance.

[0017] In this embodiment, the number of slide rails can be set as needed; optimally, two slide rails can be used. During installation, the slide rails can be installed along the front-to-back direction of the appliance. To ensure the stability of the slide rails in supporting the appliance, multiple slide rails can be spaced apart along a second direction, which can specifically be the left-to-right direction.

[0018] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the second limiting buckle is disposed at the rear end of the slide rail. When the slide rail is installed on the air guide base plate, the rear end is away from the first end of the air guide base plate and is located at the first position of the air guide base plate. The first limiting buckle is disposed at the first position, and a plurality of first limiting buckles are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0019] In this embodiment, the second limiting buckle is disposed at the rear end of the slide rail, and the first limiting buckle is disposed at the position corresponding to the second limiting buckle. Disposing the first limiting buckle at the rear end, compared to disposing it on both sides of the slide rail, simplifies the slide rail structure and makes it easier to manufacture.

[0020] Of course, in other embodiments, the second limiting buckle can also be provided on both sides of the slide rail.

[0021] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the slide rail includes at least two sliding portions spaced apart along the second direction, the at least two sliding portions being connected by a second connecting portion, the rear end of the sliding portion being provided with a second limiting buckle, and the number of first limiting buckles being equal to the number of sliding portions.

[0022] In this embodiment, each slide rail has at least two sliding portions. Each sliding portion is arranged along the length of the slide rail. The two sliding portions can be connected by a second connecting portion; for example, the slide rail can be configured as H-shaped or U-shaped. A second limiting buckle is provided at the rear end of each sliding portion, meaning that two second limiting buckles are provided on one slide rail. Each second limiting buckle is accompanied by a cooperating first limiting buckle; therefore, the number of first limiting buckles is the same as the number of sliding portions.

[0023] For example, there are 2 slide rails and 4 first and second limit buckles.

[0024] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the first limiting buckle and the air guide base plate are an integral structure. This can improve the connection strength between the first limiting buckle and the air guide base plate, making the stability of the first limiting buckle better, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire machine installation.

[0025] In any of the above embodiments, the first limiting buckle may optionally be a stamped part formed by stamping the air guide base plate.

[0026] In this embodiment, the air guide plate can be stamped to form the second limiting buckle, i.e., the second limiting buckle is formed by stamping. For example, it can be stamped from the back of the air guide plate towards the front to form a convex bulge on the front of the air guide plate. At the same time, the front end of the convex bulge can be disconnected from the air guide plate to form a groove, and the other parts of the convex bulge can be connected to the air guide plate. In this way, a first limiting buckle with high strength can be processed on the air guide plate.

[0027] Furthermore, the air guide plate has a stamped hole formed by stamping to create the first limiting latch.

[0028] In any of the above embodiments, the installation component may optionally include: a guide structure disposed on the air guide base plate and arranged along the first direction, for guiding the slide rail when the slide rail is slid into the air guide base plate along the first direction.

[0029] In this embodiment, a guide structure is provided on the air guide base plate. This guide structure guides the sliding of the slide rail, allowing it to slide and install itself into place along a pre-set trajectory, thus installing the appliance into its fixed position within the cabinet. The guide structure ensures more precise sliding of the slide rail, thereby improving installation efficiency and avoiding multiple installation attempts.

[0030] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the guiding structure is a guide rib formed by stamping the air guide base plate.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air guide plate can be stamped to form guide ribs, which can then guide the sliding of the slide rail. During stamping, a portion of the air guide plate's structure can be deformed forward to form stamped protrusions, which can then be used for guidance. Alternatively, the stamping pressure can be increased, and one side of the stamped portion can be disconnected from the air guide plate. Then, all the stamped portions can be gathered to one side to form guide ribs.

[0032] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a home appliance assembly, including: a home appliance; and an installation assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect for installing the home appliance into a cabinet.

[0033] In this embodiment, the home appliance assembly includes the home appliance and a mounting assembly, which allows the home appliance to be installed into the cabinet. Specifically, when installing the home appliance, a guide plate can be installed inside the cabinet, and a slide rail can be installed at the bottom of the home appliance, so that the slide rail can slide the home appliance along the guide plate into the cabinet.

[0034] An embodiment of the third aspect of this application provides a cabinet assembly, including: a cabinet; a home appliance; and an installation assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect, wherein an air guide plate is installed inside the cabinet and a slide rail is installed at the bottom of the home appliance; wherein the slide rail is capable of carrying the home appliance along the air guide plate into the cabinet.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cabinet assembly includes a cabinet, a mounting component, and a household appliance. During installation, the slide rail is first installed to the bottom of the household appliance, and the air guide plate is installed in the cabinet where the appliance is to be installed. Then, the slide rail and the household appliance can be slid together along the air guide plate into the cabinet. After the slide rail and the household appliance are in place, the first and second limit latches cooperate to indicate that the slide rail is properly installed. Furthermore, this cabinet assembly has the mounting component provided in any embodiment of the first aspect; therefore, this cabinet assembly has all the beneficial effects of the mounting component provided in any embodiment of the first aspect.

Detailed Implementation

[0054] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0055] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] The following reference Figures 7 to 12 This application describes the installation components, home appliance components, and cabinet components provided according to some embodiments.

[0057] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an installation assembly for installing a home appliance 2 in a cabinet 1. The installation assembly includes an air guide plate 3 and a slide rail 4. The air guide plate 3 is installed inside the cabinet 1 and is provided with a plurality of first limiting buckles 32. The slide rail 4 is installed at the bottom of the home appliance 2 and can slide in from the first end of the air guide plate 3 along a first direction to install the home appliance 2 into the cabinet 1. The slide rail 4 is provided with a second limiting buckle 42, which, after the slide rail 4 is installed on the air guide plate 3, abuts against the first limiting buckle 32 in the first direction to limit the installation position of the slide rail 4 in the first direction, and also abuts against the first limiting buckle 32 in the second direction to limit the installation position of the slide rail 4 in the second direction.

[0058] The installation assembly proposed according to the embodiments of this application is used for the embedded installation of a home appliance 2 within a cabinet 1. The installation assembly includes an air guide base plate 3 and a slide rail 4. The slide rail 4 is installed to the bottom of the home appliance 2, and the air guide base plate 3 is installed within the cabinet 1 where the home appliance is to be installed. A first limiting buckle 32 is provided on the air guide base plate 3, and a second limiting buckle 42 is provided on the slide rail 4 to cooperate with the first limiting buckle 32. After the slide rail 4 is installed in the fixed position on the air guide base plate 3, the first limiting buckle 32 and the second limiting buckle 42 can abut in a first direction, i.e., the depth direction of the cabinet 1, and also in a second direction (e.g., the lateral direction of the cabinet 1). Thus, the first limiting buckle 32 and the second limiting buckle 42 can limit the lateral installation position of the slide rail 4 on the air guide base plate 3 and its installation position in the depth direction of the cabinet 1. This structure, through the cooperation of the first limiting buckle 32 and the second limiting buckle 42, simultaneously achieves the lateral and longitudinal limiting of the air guide plate 3 on the slide rail 4. This eliminates the need to set additional flanges on the slide rail 4 for screwing, thus simplifying the structure of the entire installation assembly and reducing the processing cost of the installation assembly.

[0059] Cabinet 1 can specifically be a kitchen cabinet. Optionally, the home appliance is a built-in home appliance.

[0060] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 10As shown, the first limiting buckle 32 includes two first connecting parts 322 spaced apart along the second direction and a top plate part 324 connected to the two first connecting parts 322 and spaced apart from the air guide base plate 3. The two first connecting parts 322 and the top plate part 324 form a groove 326 opening towards the first end. The second limiting buckle 42 includes a protrusion 422 provided on the rear end 44 of the slide rail 4. The protrusion 422 can be inserted into and confined within the groove 326.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first limiting buckle 32 is connected to the air guide base plate 3 at both ends along the second direction via two first connecting portions 322. Simultaneously, after the protrusion 422 is inserted into the groove 326, the first limiting buckle 32 can press down on the slide rail 4 via the top plate portion 324, ensuring the installation stability of the slide rail 4 on the air guide base plate 3. In this design, both the left and right sides of the first limiting buckle 32 are connected to the air guide base plate 3, meaning there is no unsupported area on the left and right sides of the air guide base plate 3. This makes the connection between the first limiting buckle 32 and the air guide base plate 3 more reliable, resulting in higher strength of the limiting plate and thus improving the stability of the first limiting buckle 32, ensuring the overall stability of the installation.

[0062] Optionally, the first limiting buckle 32 is an arc-shaped structure or a hemispherical structure.

[0063] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 10 As shown, the top plate portion 324 and the two first connecting portions 322 are an integral structure, and the top plate portion 324 and the two first connecting portions 322 are connected in an arc shape; and / or the dimension of the groove 326 along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 3 gradually decreases from the first end of the air guide plate 3 to the second end of the air guide plate 3.

[0064] In this embodiment, the top plate 324 and the two first connecting portions 322 can be connected in an arc-shaped structure. Alternatively, they can be connected in a U-shaped structure that is inverted on the air guide base plate 3. The dimension of the groove 326 along the thickness direction of the air guide base plate 3 gradually decreases from the first end of the air guide base plate 3 to the second end of the air guide base plate 3. This prevents the protrusion from passing through the groove 326, thereby allowing the slide rail 4 to be limited laterally and longitudinally through the inner wall of the groove 326.

[0065] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple slide rails 4, which are installed at intervals along the second direction at the bottom of the home appliance 2, and the slide rails 4 are arranged along the front and back direction of the home appliance 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, the number of slide rails 4 can be set as needed; optimally, the number of slide rails 4 can be set to two. During installation, the slide rails 4 can be installed along the front-to-back direction of the appliance 2. To ensure the stability of the slide rails 4 in supporting the appliance 2, multiple slide rails 4 can be spaced apart along a second direction, which can specifically be the left-to-right direction.

[0067] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting buckle 42 is disposed at the rear end 44 of the slide rail 4. When the slide rail 4 is installed on the air guide base plate 3, the rear end 44 is away from the first end of the air guide base plate 3 and is located at the first position of the air guide base plate 3. The first limiting buckle 32 is disposed at the first position, and multiple first limiting buckles 32 are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second limiting buckle 42 is disposed at the rear end 44 of the slide rail 4, and the first limiting buckle 32 is disposed at the position corresponding to the second limiting buckle 42. Disposing the first limiting buckle 32 at the rear end, compared to disposing the first limiting buckle 32 on both sides of the slide rail 4, makes the structure of the slide rail 4 simpler and easier to process.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the second limiting buckle 42 can also be provided on both sides of the slide rail 4.

[0070] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 8 As shown, the slide rail 4 includes at least two sliding parts 46 spaced apart along the second direction. The at least two sliding parts 46 are connected by a second connecting part 48. The rear end 44 of the sliding part 46 is provided with a second limiting buckle 42. The number of first limiting buckles 32 is equal to the number of sliding parts 46.

[0071] In this embodiment, each slide rail 4 has at least two sliding portions 46. Each sliding portion 46 is arranged along the length direction of the slide rail 4. The two sliding portions 46 can be connected by a second connecting portion 48, for example, the slide rail 4 can be configured as H-shaped or U-shaped. The rear end 44 of each sliding portion 46 is provided with a second limiting buckle 42, that is, two second limiting buckles 42 are provided on one slide rail 4. For each second limiting buckle 42, a first limiting buckle 32 that cooperates with it is provided. Therefore, the number of first limiting buckles 32 is the same as the number of sliding portions 46.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, there are 2 slide rails 4 and 4 first limit buckles 32 and second limit buckles 42.

[0073] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the first limiting buckle 32 and the air guide base plate 3 are an integral structure. This can improve the connection strength between the first limiting buckle 32 and the air guide base plate 3, making the first limiting buckle 32 more stable, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire machine installation.

[0074] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 10 As shown, the first limiting buckle 32 is a stamped part formed by stamping the air guide base plate 3.

[0075] In this embodiment, the air guide plate 3 can be stamped to form the second limiting buckle 42, that is, the second limiting buckle 42 is formed by stamping. For example, it can be stamped from the back of the air guide plate 3 towards the front to form a convex bulge on the front of the air guide plate 3. At the same time, the front end of the convex bulge can be disconnected from the air guide plate 3 to form a groove, and the other parts of the convex bulge can be connected to the air guide plate 3. In this way, a first limiting buckle 32 with high strength can be processed on the air guide plate 3.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the air guide base plate 3 has a stamping hole 36 left by the stamping to form the first limiting buckle 32.

[0077] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the installation assembly also includes a guide structure 34, which is disposed on the air guide base plate 3 and arranged along the first direction, for guiding the slide rail 4 when it slides into the air guide base plate 3 along the first direction.

[0078] In this embodiment, a guide structure 34 is provided on the air guide plate 3. The guide structure 34 guides the sliding of the slide rail 4, allowing the slide rail 4 to slide and be installed in place according to a pre-set trajectory, thereby installing the home appliance 2 into a fixed position on the cabinet 1. The guide structure 34 makes the sliding path of the slide rail 4 more precise, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the home appliance 2 and avoiding multiple installations.

[0079] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the guide structure 34 is a guide rib formed by stamping the air guide base plate 3.

[0080] In this embodiment, the air guide plate 3 can be stamped to form guide ribs, which can then guide the sliding of the slide rail 4. During stamping, a portion of the air guide plate 3 can be deformed to the front to form stamped protrusions, which can then be used for guidance. Alternatively, the stamping pressure can be increased, and one side of the stamped portion can be disconnected from the air guide plate 3. Then, all the stamped portions can be gathered to one side to form guide ribs.

[0081] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a home appliance assembly, including: a home appliance 2; and an installation assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect for installing the home appliance 2 inside a cabinet 1.

[0082] In this embodiment, the appliance assembly includes appliance 2 and mounting components. Appliance 2 can be installed into cabinet 1 using the mounting components. Specifically, when installing appliance 2, air guide plate 3 can be installed inside cabinet 1, and slide rail 4 can be installed at the bottom of appliance 2. In this way, slide rail 4 can carry appliance 2 along air guide plate 3 into cabinet 1.

[0083] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the third aspect of this application provides a cabinet assembly, including: a cabinet 1; a home appliance 2; and an installation assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect, wherein an air guide plate 3 is installed inside the cabinet 1, and a slide rail 4 is installed at the bottom of the home appliance 2; wherein the slide rail 4 is capable of carrying the home appliance 2 to slide along the air guide plate 3 into the cabinet 1 for installation.

[0084] In this embodiment, the cabinet assembly includes a cabinet 1, a mounting assembly, and a home appliance 2. During installation, the slide rail 4 is first installed to the bottom of the home appliance 2, and the air guide plate 3 is installed in the cabinet 1 where the home appliance 2 is to be installed. Then, the slide rail 4 and the home appliance 2 can be slid together along the air guide plate 3 into the cabinet 1. After the slide rail 4 and the home appliance 2 are in place, the first limiting buckle 32 and the second limiting buckle 42 cooperate to indicate that the slide rail 4 is in place. Furthermore, this cabinet assembly has the mounting assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect; therefore, this cabinet assembly has all the beneficial effects of the mounting assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0085] Among them, home appliance 2 can specifically refer to products such as microwave ovens or ovens that can be embedded in cabinets or other cabinets.

[0086] Among them, such as Figure 11 As shown, appliance 2 is a built-in microwave oven 20, and its structure is as follows: Figure 12As shown. The main body of this type of built-in microwave oven 20 consists of a body 21, which contains functional spaces such as cooking functions, similar to built-in microwave ovens and ovens. At the front of the body 21 is a control box assembly 24 and a door assembly 22. The control panel 25 in the control box assembly 24 enables human-machine interaction; users can select and operate the functions of the built-in microwave oven 20 using the buttons on the control panel 25. The door assembly 22 is composed of multiple parts; users can open the door using the door control switch 26 on the control box assembly 24. The door has a viewing window and function selection. The door has a handle. The built-in microwave oven also includes a drawer that can be opened automatically or manually. A viewing window 23 on the drawer allows users to observe the cooking status of the food inside without opening the door.

[0087] The following describes the installation structure of an embedded microwave oven.

[0088] The existing built-in microwave oven 2' is installed by first mounting the entire built-in microwave oven onto the slide rail 4', and then the built-in microwave oven and slide rail are inserted into the six fasteners 32' of the air guide base plate 3' along the guide groove on the air guide base plate, thus achieving fixation. The structural diagram of the built-in microwave oven 2' installed inside the cabinet 1 is shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. This fixing method has the following disadvantages: 1. There are many fasteners, making it difficult to align the fastener interfaces on the first attempt during installation. Repeated adjustments are required, wasting time and labor, and potentially damaging the fasteners, affecting installation stability. 2. Because there are many fasteners, there are more openings at the bottom of the air guide plate, complicating the processing technology and increasing the mold opening cost. 3. The fasteners are all in a semi-open state (e.g., Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a section of the fastener is suspended in the air without a fixed or supporting structure, which results in low overall strength of the fastener. If a fastener fails, it will affect the stability of the entire machine during installation.

[0089] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0090] The built-in microwave oven 2' or built-in microwave oven in the relevant solution is used to be embedded in a cabinet 1'. Such cabinets 1' typically have a ventilated base plate 3' installed underneath, with a slide rail 4' on the ventilated base plate 3'. The ventilated base plate 3' is used for heat dissipation of the built-in microwave oven, ensuring that all components of the built-in microwave oven operate at a suitable temperature; the slide rail 4' is used to support the built-in microwave oven, ensuring that it is stable during operation and that its suspended bottom facilitates heat dissipation.

[0091] in, Figure 3The exploded view shows the built-in microwave oven 2', slide rail 4', air guide plate 3', cabinet 1', etc. The installation sequence is usually as follows: first, fix the air guide plate 3' in the designated position inside the cabinet 1'; then, assemble the slide rail 4' and the built-in microwave oven 2' together; finally, install the built-in microwave oven 2' and the slide rail 4' into the six fasteners 32' along the guide groove on the air guide plate 3', so that the fasteners 32' lock the slide rail 4' in place; then, fix the flange 42' and the air guide plate 3' with screws to ensure the stable operation of the built-in microwave oven.

[0092] In the relevant scheme, the structure of the air guide plate 3' is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air guide base plate 3' has 6 fasteners 32' for positioning and fixing the slide rail 4'. Figure 6 As shown, the buckle 32' is in a half-open support state, located on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 3'. During the installation process, the built-in microwave oven 2' and the slide rail 4' need to be accurately aligned with the buckle 32' to be installed successfully. However, since the view is blocked during the installation of the built-in microwave oven 1', it is easy to misalign the buckle and need to reinstall, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0093] The improved air guide plate 3 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, compared with the existing air guide base plate 3', it removes the original 6 fasteners 32' and adds four new hemispherical fasteners (i.e., the first limit fasteners 32) at the rear of the air guide base plate 3. The fasteners are connected to the air guide base plate 3 as a whole.

[0094] Figure 8 This is an assembly diagram showing the slide rail 4 being installed into the air guide base plate 3. The slide rail fixing scheme of this utility model is as follows:

[0095] (1) First, push the slide rail 4 and the whole machine into the guide slot of the air guide plate 3.

[0096] (2) The slide rail 4 is continuously pushed along the correct position of the guide slot into the latch at the rear of the air guide base plate 3, and then fixed and positioned to complete the installation process of the whole machine.

[0097] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that it improves the overall installation efficiency and enhances the safety and stability of the installation of the embedded microwave oven into the cabinet. From a process perspective, installation is more convenient, saving steps and time. From a material cost perspective, firstly, by reducing the number of openings in the air guide plate 3, the mold cost of the air guide plate 3 is reduced, thus reducing mold expenses. From a structural perspective, the original semi-opening fastener is changed to a hemispherical fastener, which improves the structural strength of the fastener and thus enhances the installation stability of the fastener for the slide rail, reducing the risk of slide rail warping.

[0098] In addition, the use of four hemispherical fasteners also achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0099] 1. The number of fasteners has been reduced, which reduces the number of calibrations required during the installation of the entire machine, improving installation efficiency and ensuring installation stability.

[0100] 2. It can reduce the number of openings in the air guide plate, reduce the number of processing steps for the air guide plate, and reduce processing costs.

[0101] 3. Overall, it improves the stability of the fastening mechanism, ensures the stability of the entire machine installation, and provides customers with a good user experience.
