Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embedded home appliance installation, and in particular to a cabinet front pull-out panel installation structure for embedded home appliance installation. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashers, steam ovens, and sterilizers are typically installed in kitchen cabinets using a built-in design. Examples include Chinese invention patents ZL202211218264.5 (publication number CN115568800A) and CN202211111341.7 (publication number CN115682057A). After installation, a gap is usually left between the appliance and the cabinet. This gap is typically concealed by a pull-out panel to improve the overall appearance. For example, patent ZL202321705782.X (authorization announcement number CN 220494965U) illustrates this.

[0003] Furthermore, when installing a front pull-out panel, it is first necessary to use measuring tools to measure the distance between the appliance's door panel and the inner liner reinforcing rib, as well as the height of the base from the inner liner reinforcing rib. Then, measure the corresponding dimensions in the depth and height directions of the cabinet, and mark the corresponding lines on the left and right sides of the cabinet. Before installation, fix two L-shaped brackets to the left and right ends of the front pull-out panel with screws. Then, align the sides and bottom of the front pull-out panel with the previously marked lines, and fix the L-shaped brackets at both ends of the front pull-out panel to the side panels with screws. Finally, drive screws in from the side panels.

[0004] It is evident that the existing installation method is cumbersome and prone to dimensional deviations, resulting in a crooked front panel after installation, which affects the aesthetics of the installed home appliance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cabinet front pull-out panel installation structure that is easy to install and has a good installation effect for embedded installation of household appliances, in contrast to the existing technology.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cabinet front pull-out panel installation structure that is easy to install and firmly installed for embedded installation of household appliances, in contrast to the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems is: a cabinet front pull-out panel mounting structure for embedded installation of household appliances, wherein the front of the cabinet has an installation opening, and the internal space of the cabinet corresponding to the installation opening is an installation position for embedded installation of household appliances, characterized in that it includes:

[0008] The support pad, with the household appliance pre-positioned in the aforementioned mounting position, is sandwiched between the lower end of the front pull plate and the top surface of the household appliance, and the upper end of the front pull plate abuts against the upper end of the edge of the aforementioned mounting opening along its length.

[0009] A right-angle assembly, used to adjust the verticality of the front pull-out panel, is disposed on the left and / or right side of the front pull-out panel. It includes a right-angle plate having a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate that are perpendicular to each other. The right-angle plate is fitted into the corner between the front pull-out panel and the corresponding side panel of the cabinet. The first vertical plate of the right-angle plate is connected to the front pull-out panel, and the second vertical plate is connected to the aforementioned side panel.

[0010] Fasteners, at least two in total, are used to secure the left and right ends of the adjusted front pull plate to the corresponding side panels of the cabinet in the left and right directions.

[0011] Furthermore, with the household appliance pre-positioned in the aforementioned mounting position, the top of the support pad is not lower than the highest point of the appliance's outer top surface. This better ensures that the household appliance can be smoothly pushed into the mounting position inside the cabinet.

[0012] Furthermore, the support pad is a square block arranged horizontally in the left-right direction, with its top surface flush with the highest point of the outer top surface of the household appliance. This allows the support pad to be better positioned between the lower end of the front pull plate and the top surface of the household appliance during height adjustment, thus ensuring accurate height adjustment. In addition, the flush alignment of the top surface of the support pad with the highest point of the outer top surface of the household appliance ensures smooth installation while also enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the installed appliance.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the front end of the support pad is recessed upwards along its length to form a positioning notch. When the household appliance is pre-positioned in the aforementioned installation position, the protrusion on the front end of the top surface of the household appliance along the left-right direction engages with the positioning notch. The support pad is positioned by the cooperation between the positioning notch and the protrusion of the household appliance, preventing the support pad from shifting during height adjustment and ensuring the accuracy of height adjustment.

[0014] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the top surface of the support pad, with the front end of the groove directly opposite the rear end of the positioning notch. The grooves are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and reinforcing ribs are formed between adjacent grooves. This ensures the stability of the support pad's center of gravity, preventing it from tilting forward or backward due to the positioning notch. It also makes the contact point between the support pad and the lower end of the front pull plate more robust, allowing the support pad to better withstand the pressure applied by the front pull plate and further ensuring the accuracy of height adjustment.

[0015] Furthermore, the right-angle assembly also includes a connector fixed to the back of the aforementioned front pull plate, which is detachably connected to the aforementioned first vertical plate. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the right-angle plate and the front pull plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the connector is a magnetic plate, and the first vertical plate is an iron plate that can form a magnetic connection with the connector. In this way, the magnetic attraction allows the first vertical plate of the right-angle plate to form a firm connection with the connector.

[0017] Furthermore, the first vertical plate is connected to the middle of the aforementioned front pull plate along the height direction. This helps ensure the accuracy of the right-angle assembly's adjustment of the front pull plate's verticality, while also allowing the right-angle plate to better support the front pull plate.

[0018] Furthermore, all the fasteners are self-tapping screws, and before fixing the front pull-out plate to the side panels of the left and right cabinets, pre-drilled holes are made on each side panel for the corresponding fasteners to be inserted. This facilitates the accurate placement of the fasteners into the pre-fixed locations on the front pull-out plate and the side panels.

[0019] Furthermore, each of the fasteners is fixed to the middle of the front pull plate along its height direction. This facilitates a secure fixation of the front pull plate.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: it includes support pads, right-angle components, and fasteners. This utility model can improve the ease of installation of the pull-out panel. The support pads are used to install the pull-out panel at the required height, preventing the pull-out panel from failing to completely cover the gap between the appliance and the cabinet, and also preventing the appliance from being unable to be smoothly pushed into its mounting position inside the cabinet. The right-angle components are used to adjust the verticality of the pull-out panel, preventing it from tilting after installation, which would affect the installation effect and the aesthetics of the appliance after installation. They also provide support to the pull-out panel from back to front. Furthermore, after the position of the pull-out panel is adjusted using the support pads and right-angle components, the fasteners are used to fix the left and right ends of the pull-out panel to the corresponding side panels of the cabinet, thus ensuring a stable installation of the pull-out panel on the cabinet.

In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0032] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a cabinet has a front pull-out panel 14 installed onto it via a front pull-out panel mounting structure. The front of the cabinet 1 has a mounting opening 11, and the internal space of the cabinet 1 corresponding to this mounting opening 11 serves as a mounting position 12 for the embedded installation of household appliances 2, such as... Figure 7 As shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the installation structure of the front pull-out panel 14 of the cabinet 1 is specifically described using an embedded dishwasher as an example.

[0033] Furthermore, specifically, the aforementioned cabinet front pull-out panel mounting structure includes a support pad 3, a right-angle component 4, and a fastener 5. When the household appliance 2 is pre-positioned in the mounting position 12, the support pad 3 is sandwiched between the lower end of the front pull-out panel 14 and the top surface of the household appliance 2, and the upper end of the front pull-out panel 14 abuts against the upper end of the edge of the mounting opening 11 along its length. The right-angle component 4 is used to adjust the verticality of the front pull-out panel 14, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a right-angle plate 42, comprising a first vertical plate 421 and a second vertical plate 422 perpendicular to each other, is disposed on the left and / or right side (in this embodiment, on the right side) of the front pull-out plate 14. This right-angle plate 42 is fitted into the corner between the front pull-out plate 14 and the corresponding side panel 13 of the cabinet 1. The first vertical plate 421 of the right-angle plate 42 is connected to the front pull-out plate 14, and the second vertical plate 422 is connected to the aforementioned side panel 13. Two fasteners 5 are used to fix the left and right ends of the adjusted front pull-out plate 14 to the corresponding side panel 13 of the cabinet 1 along the left-right direction, as shown. Figure 5 As shown.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, the cabinet front pull-out panel installation structure of this utility model includes a support pad 3, a right-angle component 4, and a fastener 5. The support pad 3 is used to install the front pull-out panel 14 at the required height, preventing the front pull-out panel 14 from failing to completely cover the gap between the appliance 2 and the cabinet 1, and also preventing the appliance 2 from being unable to be smoothly pushed into the installation position 12 inside the cabinet 1. The right-angle component 4 is used to adjust the verticality of the front pull-out panel 14, preventing the front pull-out panel 14 from tilting after installation, which would affect the installation effect of the front pull-out panel 14 and the aesthetics of the appliance 2 after embedding. It also provides support for the front pull-out panel 14 from back to front. Furthermore, after the position of the front pull-out panel 14 is adjusted into place by the support pad 3 and the right-angle component 4, the fastener 5 is used to fix the left and right ends of the front pull-out panel 14 to the corresponding side panels 13 of the cabinet 1, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the front pull-out panel 14 on the cabinet 1.

[0035] Furthermore, with the household appliance 2 pre-positioned in the aforementioned mounting position 12, the top of the support block 3 is not lower than the highest point of the outer top surface of the household appliance 2, thereby better ensuring that the household appliance 2 can be smoothly pushed into the mounting position 12 inside the cabinet 1. Preferably, the support block 3 is a square block horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, with its top surface flush with the highest point of the outer top surface of the household appliance 2. In this way, during the height adjustment of the front pull plate 14, the support block 3 can be better clamped between the lower end of the front pull plate 14 and the top surface of the household appliance 2, thereby helping to ensure the accuracy of height adjustment. In addition, the fact that the top surface of the support block 3 is flush with the highest point of the outer top surface of the household appliance 2 ensures that the household appliance 2 can be smoothly pushed in while making the front appearance of the installed household appliance 2 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the bottom of the front end of the aforementioned support pad 3 is recessed upwards along its length to form a positioning notch 31. When the household appliance 2 is pre-positioned in the aforementioned mounting position 12, the protrusion 21 on the front end of the outer top of the household appliance 2 along the left-right direction is inserted into the positioning notch 31, as shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The support pad 3 is positioned by the cooperation of the positioning notch 31 and the protrusion 21 of the household appliance 2, preventing the support pad 3 from shifting during height adjustment and ensuring the accuracy of height adjustment. Preferably, as Figure 9 As shown, a groove 32 is provided on the top surface of the support pad 3. The front end of the groove 32 is vertically opposite to the rear end of the positioning notch 31. The grooves 32 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and a reinforcing rib 33 is formed between adjacent grooves 32. This ensures that the center of gravity of the support pad 3 is stable, preventing the support pad 3 from tilting forward or backward due to the positioning notch 31. It also makes the structure at the contact point between the support pad 3 and the lower end of the front pull plate 14 more robust, so that the support pad 3 can better bear the pressure applied by the front pull plate 14, further ensuring the accuracy of height adjustment.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the right-angle assembly 4 further includes a connector 41 fixed to the back of the front pull plate 14. This connector 41 is detachably connected to the first vertical plate 421, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the right-angle plate 42 and the front pull plate 14. Preferably, the connector 41 is a magnetic plate, and the first vertical plate 421 is an iron plate that can form a magnetic connection with the connector 41. This magnetic attraction allows the first vertical plate 421 of the right-angle plate 42 to form a secure connection with the connector 41. More preferably, the first vertical plate 421 is connected to the middle of the front pull plate 14 along its height direction. This helps ensure the accuracy of the right-angle assembly 4 in adjusting the verticality of the front pull plate 14, and also allows the right-angle plate 42 to better support the front pull plate 14.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, all the fasteners 5 are self-tapping screws. Before fixing the front pull plate 14 to the side panels 13 of the left and right cabinets 1, pre-drilled holes (not shown) are made on each side panel 13 for the corresponding fasteners 5 to be inserted. This facilitates the accurate placement of the fasteners 5 into the pre-fixed locations of the front pull plate 14 and the side panels 13. Preferably, each of the above-mentioned fasteners 5 is fixed at the middle of the front pull plate 14 along the height direction, which is beneficial for achieving a firm fixation of the front pull plate 14.

[0039] The installation process of the front pull plate 14 in this utility model is as follows:

[0040] First, push the appliance 2 into the mounting position 12 of the cabinet 1, and adjust the door of the appliance 2 to be flush with the cabinet doors on both sides. Pre-fix the appliance 2 with 40mm long fixing screws (not shown) to prevent the machine from shifting when the door is opened. Place two support pads 3 at intervals along the middle of the length of the protrusion 21 at the front end of the top of the appliance 2.

[0041] Attach connector 41 to the right end of front pull-out plate 14, then magnetically attach the first vertical plate 421 of right-angle plate 42 to connector 41. Place front pull-out plate 14 on household appliance 2, and clamp front pull-out plate 14 between the upper edge of mounting opening 11 and support pad 3. Adjust the position of front pull-out plate 14 so that the second vertical plate 422 of right-angle plate 42 is flatly attached to the corresponding side panel 13 of cabinet 1.

[0042] After adjusting the mounting position 12 of the front pull-out panel 14, pre-drill holes (25mm deep) are made on the side panels 13 on both sides of the cabinet 1. Then, fasteners 5 (35mm self-tapping screws) are used to fix the left and right ends of the front pull-out panel 14 to the corresponding side panels 13 of the cabinet 1 through the pre-drilled holes. Finally, loosen the 40mm fixing screws, remove the household appliance 2 from the mounting position 12, and evenly apply silicone sealant to the gaps between the front pull-out panel 14 and the side panels 13. The installation of the front pull-out panel 14 is now complete.
