Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more specifically, to a handle mounting structure and cooking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens and ovens, to ensure normal, stable, and reliable door opening, the plastic handles on the door assembly are generally fixed with screws. The door frame, door panel, and handle are fixed to the door assembly with screws, thus securing the handle to the door assembly. When opening the door assembly, simply pull the handle to open it, allowing food to be placed or removed. The existing structure has mounting holes on the handle body, and screws are passed through the mounting holes in the door frame and the positioning holes in the door panel of the door assembly to tighten the handle threads, thus fixing the handle to the door body. This method of connection is firm, but disassembly is relatively troublesome, and the mounting holes of the handle are prone to stripping during disassembly, resulting in the screws not being tightened securely, the handle not being installed properly, and problems such as loosening and difficulty in opening the door may occur.
[0003] The most common way to fix kitchen appliance handles is by tightening screws. As an important part of kitchen appliances, the handle provides users with a point of force to open and close the door assembly, making it easier to operate, especially when taking out or placing heavy food. If the screw tightening torque is insufficient, the handle may loosen during use, leading to problems such as the handle falling off. This can cause the door assembly to be unable to be opened properly, resulting in the risk of not being able to open the door after cooking. Furthermore, if the handle falls off, the screw may remain on the door assembly and cannot be removed, which seriously affects the customer's user experience. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the existing cooking equipment includes a door assembly 1, a control box 2, and a cavity 3. The door assembly 1 and control box 2 are installed on the front side of the cavity 3. The door assembly 1 is used to seal or open the cavity 3. The door assembly 1 includes a door panel 4, a handle 5, and a door frame 6. The handle 5 is located on the outermost side of the door assembly 1, facilitating user operation to open the door assembly 1. The door panel 4 and the door frame 6 are fixedly connected. A fixing post is provided at the end of the handle 5, and a mounting hole is provided on the fixing post. The corresponding door panel 4 and / or door frame 6 are provided with positioning holes. When installing the handle 5, the fixing post is inserted into the positioning hole, and then the handle 5 is fixedly connected to the door panel 4 and / or door frame 6 by screws or other connectors passing through the positioning hole and the mounting hole. During the installation process, improper force may cause stripping of the mounting hole, resulting in problems such as improper installation. Furthermore, fixing with screws 7 requires the use of screwdrivers and other tools, making disassembly relatively troublesome. The handle is also prone to loosening, leading to other quality problems.
[0036] Therefore, the mounting structure of the handle has been improved in this embodiment.
[0037] like Figures 6-9As shown, a handle mounting structure includes a handle 5 and a door assembly 1. The handle 5 is located on the outside of the door assembly 1, and its end is bent and extends towards the door assembly 1. A latch 51 is provided at the end of the handle 5 near the door assembly 1. The latch 51 is a hook structure, and a corresponding slot 62 is provided on the door assembly 1. The handle 5 is detachably connected to the door assembly 1 through the elastic engagement of the latch 51 and the slot 62. No screws or other connectors 7 are required during the connection process, facilitating handle installation. The hook and slot structure are firmly connected, preventing loosening and easy handle detachment. Compared to the traditional screw-fixed handle structure, the new guide latch-fixed handle structure is easier to operate and disassemble, and is more reliable, secure, and stable.
[0038] A fixing post 53 is provided at the end of the handle 5, and a latch 51 is provided at the end of the fixing post 53 near the door assembly 1. The latch 51 is configured as a hook-shaped structure. When the handle 5 is connected to the door assembly 1, the latch 51 engages with the latch groove 62 on the door assembly 1. A guide post 52 is also provided at the end of the handle 5, and the guide post 52 is basically flush with the latch 51.
[0039] Specifically, the end of the handle 5 is designed as a hollow structure, and a fixing post 53 is provided inside the hollow structure. The hollow structure provides space for the connection between the fixing post 53 and the door assembly 1, and prevents the handle end from deforming during production. Alternatively, a guide post 52 is also provided at the end of the fixing post 53 near the door assembly 1. The guide post 52 is basically flush with the latch 51, with the guide post 52 located on one side of the end of the fixing post 53 and the latch 51 located on the other side of the end of the fixing post 53. A gap is formed between the guide post 52 and the latch 51 to provide deformation space when the latch 51 is deformed during installation, and to prevent the latch 51 from breaking during the snap-fit connection. The guide post 52 is configured as a columnar structure, and a corresponding guide groove 61 is provided on the door assembly 1. The guide groove 61 is located near the slot 62. When the handle 5 is installed, the guide post 52 at the end of the handle 5 aligns with the guide groove 61, and then the handle 5 is pushed to install the handle onto the door assembly 1, achieving a stable connection between the handle 5 and the door assembly 1. The guide post 52 and the guide groove 1 play a limiting and guiding role in the installation of the handle, guiding the buckle 51 to accurately enter the slot 62, avoiding the problem of misalignment and deformation of the buckle 51 during installation. Preferably, the hook of the buckle 51 bends and extends in a direction close to the guide post 52.
[0040] Door assembly 1 includes a door / window panel 4, a door frame 6, and a door skeleton 8. The door / window panel 4 is located on the outer side of door assembly 1, the door skeleton 8 is located on the inner side of door assembly 1, the door frame 6 is located between the door / window panel 4 and the door skeleton 8, and the handle 5 is formed on the outer side of the door / window panel 4. Door assembly 1 is hinged to the cooking equipment via the door skeleton 8. The door frame 6 is provided with a guide groove 61 and a locking groove 62, which are basically flush to prevent the handle 5 from being misaligned.
[0041] Furthermore, the guide groove 61 and the slot 62 are separated, and a partition 63 is formed between the guide groove 61 and the slot 62. When the handle 5 is installed in place, the gap between the buckle 51 and the guide post 52 abuts against the partition 63, thereby separating the buckle 51 and the guide post 52, and making it easy for the buckle 51 to hook onto the partition 63.
[0042] A first positioning hole 41 is also provided on the door and window panel 4. The shape of the first positioning hole 41 matches the shape of the end of the fixing post 53. The end of the handle 5 is inserted through the first positioning hole 41 and connected to the slot. Specifically, the guide post 52 and the buckle 51 at the end of the fixing post 53 can pass through the first positioning hole 41 and connect to the guide groove 61 and the slot 62 of the door frame 6.
[0043] As one embodiment, the handle 5 can be installed vertically or horizontally on the door assembly 1. The connection structure between the handle 5 and the door assembly 1 is set at both ends of the handle 5. That is, when the handle 5 is installed vertically, both the upper and lower ends of the handle 5 are hollow; when the handle is installed horizontally, both the left and right ends of the handle 5 are hollow.
[0044] The handle mounting structure used in this embodiment adds latches and guide posts at both ends of the handle. Through holes matching the shapes of the latches and guide posts are added to the door / window panel. Guide grooves and slots are added to the door frame. The door / window panel is installed on the front of the door frame. After the handle guide posts and latches pass through the door / window panel, they are pressed against the guide grooves and slots of the door frame, fixing the handle to the door frame. No additional user intervention is required; the handle guide latches are reliable, secure, and easy to disassemble. When opening the door assembly, simply pull the handle to open it. The handle guide latches fit tightly against the door frame without loosening or falling off, greatly extending the overall service life of the machine. Furthermore, the handle mounting structure of this embodiment reduces material and labor costs, improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the guide latches provide cushioning and shock absorption to a certain extent. When closing the door assembly, the elastic deformation of the guide latches absorbs some of the impact force, reducing collision noise between the door frame and the handle, making the closing action smoother and quieter.
[0045] As part of the embodiments of this utility model, a cooking device is also provided, including a cavity 3, a control box 2 and the handle mounting structure described above, wherein the door assembly 1 of the handle mounting structure is disposed on the front side of the cavity 3, the control box 2 is also located on the front side of the cavity 3, and the control box 2 is located on the right side of the door assembly 1. The door assembly 1 is used to seal or open the cavity 3. A door hinge 9 is also provided on the door assembly 1. When the door assembly 1 is closed, the door assembly 1 is connected and fixed to the cavity 3 through the door hinge 9.
[0046] The cooking equipment described in this embodiment can be a microwave oven, oven, steam oven, or other kitchen appliances.
