[0002] The household appliance of the related scheme, such as the embedded microwave oven, installs an outer frame at the opening of the cabinet after being installed in the cabinet to shield the opening of the cabinet. Meanwhile, a certain gap needs to be reserved between the outer frame and the microwave oven after installation. In the related scheme, the installation gap between the outer frame and the microwave oven around is uneven after the installation of the outer frame, which affects the appearance of the product. Meanwhile, in the installation process of the outer frame, in order to ensure the uniformity of the gap between the outer frame assembly and the microwave oven, the outer frame needs to be repeatedly disassembled and adjusted, which not only wastes time and labor, but also causes multiple damages to the surface of the cabinet, resulting in the failure of installation and fixation. In addition, if the assembly gap reserved on the left side between the outer frame assembly and the microwave oven is too small after the installation of the outer frame, the opening angle of the microwave oven will be small, which affects the smoothness of the user in taking food and causes a bad customer experience. If the assembly gap reserved on the upper and lower sides between the outer frame assembly and the microwave oven is too small, it will also cause the instability of the microwave oven.

[0003] Therefore, how to ensure the uniformity of the gap between the outer frame and the microwave oven after the installation of the outer frame and improve the installation efficiency of the outer frame has become a problem to be solved at present. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0072] As shown in Figures 4 to 6 , the second aspect of the utility model provides a household appliance assembly, comprising: a household appliance 1; and an outer frame assembly provided by any one of the first aspect of the embodiments, used to assist the installation of the household appliance 1 in the cabinet 2.

[0073] In this embodiment, the home appliance assembly comprises the home appliance 1 and the frame assembly. The frame assembly can be used to assist positioning when the home appliance 1 is installed into the cabinet 2, that is, the frame assembly can be assembled and sold together with the home appliance 1 as a tool. However, after the home appliance 1 is installed into the cabinet 2, the frame assembly is detached from the cabinet 2, that is, the frame assembly is not left between the cabinet 2 and the home appliance 1 after use.

[0074] As shown in Figures 4 to 6 The third aspect of the utility model provides a cabinet assembly, comprising: a cabinet 2; a home appliance 1 installed in the cabinet 2; and the frame assembly provided by any one of the first aspect of the utility model, used to assist installation of the home appliance 1 in the cabinet 2.

The frame assembly can be used to assist positioning when the home appliance 1 is installed into the cabinet 2, that is, the frame assembly can be assembled and sold together with the home appliance 1 and / or the cabinet as a tool. However, after the home appliance 1 is installed into the cabinet 2, the frame assembly is detached from the cabinet 2, that is, the frame assembly is not left between the cabinet 2 and the home appliance 1 after use.

[0076] The home appliance can be specifically a microwave oven or an oven that can be embedded into a cabinet.

[0077] The following introduces a current installation structure of an embedded microwave oven 2'.

[0078] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embedded home or commercial microwave oven 2' or microwave oven is provided, and specifically, a method and structure for adjusting the gap between the embedded microwave oven 2' and the outer frame 3' are involved. The outer frame 3' needs to be installed by the customer. The existing microwave oven 2' is installed into the cabinet 1' first, and then the outer frame 3' is installed, and there is no support positioning during the installation process. The disadvantages of this method are:

[0079] 1. The installation gap between the outer frame 3' and the microwave oven 2' is not uniform after the outer frame 3' is fixed, which affects the appearance of the product;

[0080] 2. To ensure uniformity of the gap between the outer frame 3' and the microwave oven 2', repeated disassembly and adjustment are required, which not only wastes time and labor, but also causes multiple damages to the surface of the wooden cabinet frame, resulting in installation failure;

[0081] 3. If the outer frame 3' is too small when installed, it will cause the microwave oven 2' to open at a smaller angle, affecting the user's smoothness in taking food, causing a bad customer experience; if the assembly gap between the upper and lower is too small, it will cause the microwave oven 2' to operate unstably.

[0082] The embodiment is aimed at the defects of related scheme products. By using four limiting supports 4 installed around the outer frame 3 of the microwave oven, the gap is controlled, so that the following effects can be achieved:

[0083] 1. It can reduce the damage to the surface of the wooden cabinet frame caused by multiple disassembly and assembly of the outer frame 3' assembly gap, so that the installation and fixation are invalid;

[0084] 2. It can ensure that the installation gap between the microwave oven 2' and the cabinet 1' after assembly is uniform, which can effectively solve the stability problem of the embedded microwave oven 2' after installation.

[0085] 3. Overall, it improves the appearance of the embedded microwave oven 2' after installation, improves the service life of the product and user experience.

[0086] The specific description is as follows:

[0087] As shown in Figure 1 , it is an embedded microwave oven 2', the furnace body 21' is provided with a functional space for storing products with cooking function, the front of the furnace body 21' has a control box assembly 24' and a door assembly 22', the control panel 25' in the control box assembly 24' realizes man-machine interaction, the user can select and operate the function of the microwave oven through the keys on the control panel 25', the door assembly 22' is a door composed of multiple component assemblies, the user can open the door through the door control switch 26' on the control box assembly 24', the door has a window 23', the function selection. There is a handle that can be automatically or manually opened and closed, and there is a window 23' on the drawer, the user can observe the cooking state of the food without opening the door, and can see the food inside.

[0088] Figure 2 and Figure 3 shows the installation method of the embedded microwave oven 2' and the outer frame 3' in the related scheme, the specific installation steps are as follows:

[0089] (1) Install the microwave oven 2' into the designated position in the wooden cabinet (i.e. cabinet 1'), and fix the microwave oven 2'.

[0090] (2) Place the outer frame 3' in the gap between the microwave oven 2' and the wooden cabinet, then adjust the gap manually, and then fix the outer frame 3' with screws 4'.

[0091] The mounting mode, in the installation process, lacks support and limit in four directions of up, down, left and right of the outer frame 3, and the outer frame 3 is prone to looseness in the adjustment gap process and the fixing process, leading to uneven gap.

[0092] The mounting steps of the outer frame assembly of the embodiment are as follows:

[0093] (1) Put the microwave oven into the designated position in the wooden cabinet, and fix the microwave oven.

[0094] (2) Place the outer frame in the corresponding position between the microwave oven and the wooden cabinet.

[0095] (3) Adjust the up-down-left-right mounting gap and the front-rear gap between the outer frame and the microwave oven using the four gap limiting supports, and then fix the outer frame with screws after the gap is uniform, and then remove the four gap limiting supports, thereby completing the installation of the embedded microwave oven.

[0096] Among them, as shown in Figures 4 to 7 The support thickness A and B of the limiting support 4 are determined by the gap thickness between the microwave oven product and the outer frame 3, and are used to support the outer frame 3. The limiting support 4 can be one or more, and the type is determined by the gap thickness of the outer frame 3.

[0097] The beneficial effects of the utility model are that, in the process of installing the embedded microwave oven, the assembly gap between the microwave oven and the outer frame can be effectively made uniform. This not only greatly reduces the repeated disassembly and assembly phenomenon caused by the need to constantly adjust the gap, thereby avoiding the risk of failure of the fixed structure; at the same time, it also significantly reduces the working hours required for adjustment and installation, greatly improving work efficiency. More importantly, this innovative design not only ensures that the overall appearance after installation is more neat and beautiful, but also further improves the stability of the microwave oven during operation, providing users with a better user experience. Overall, the utility model not only optimizes the installation process, reduces potential maintenance costs, but also enhances the market competitiveness of the product.
