Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, specifically to a fixing structure for a louver assembly of an embedded cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 Existing built-in cooking appliances, such as microwave ovens and ovens, are generally installed by using screws to fix the louver assembly to the side of the louver. A screwdriver is used to pass the screws through the mounting holes on the side of the louver and screw them into the built-in cabinet to fix the appliance in the built-in cabinet.

[0003] The currently common method of securing louvered components with side-mounted screws is impractical in confined spaces. Users must place their cooking equipment in a larger, built-in cabinet and then use side-mounted screws, restricting the movement of the equipment. Because side-mounted screws lack precise positioning, they often become misaligned or crooked, leading to stripped screws, loose screws, and ultimately, the equipment falling out of the cabinet. Furthermore, the vibrations generated during operation can cause uneven stress on the louvered components if they are not properly secured, leading to their detachment and significantly impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a fixing structure for a louvered component of an embedded cooking device. By providing a mounting part that mates with fasteners on the front of the louvered component, an operating space is formed on the front of the louvered component for operating and locking the fasteners. Compared to the existing method of fixing the louvered component to the cabinet using screws on the side, this structure solves the problem of inaccessibility in confined spaces, eliminating the need for users to place the cooking device in a large embedded cabinet.

[0005] A louver assembly fixing structure for an embedded cooking device designed for this purpose includes fasteners for fixing the louver assembly to a corresponding cabinet. The louver assembly is installed on the cooking device, and a mounting part that mates with the fasteners is provided on the front of the louver assembly. The cooking device, after being assembled with the louver assembly, is embedded in the cabinet. The fasteners are locked from the front of the louver assembly to the mounting part of the louver assembly, so that the louver assembly is fixed to the cabinet, and an operating space for operating the fasteners is formed in front of the louver assembly.

[0006] The mounting part includes an assembly slot on the front of the louver assembly, and a fixing hole on the front of the cabinet corresponding to the assembly slot. Fasteners pass through the assembly slot and the fixing hole to lock the louver assembly onto the cabinet.

[0007] The front of the louver assembly is provided with a decorative piece to cover the fasteners and mounting slots.

[0008] The outer surface of the decorative element is flush with the front of the louver assembly.

[0009] The assembly slot is equipped with a magnetic component for adsorbing decorative parts, and the decorative parts are fixed to the outside of the assembly slot by the magnetic component.

[0010] The assembly slot is provided with a positioning step, and one end of the magnetic component is limited and installed on the positioning step of the assembly slot.

[0011] The magnetic component is provided with a limiting rib on its outer side. The limiting rib of the magnetic component abuts against the inner wall of the assembly slot, so that the limiting rib forms an anti-detachment part to prevent the magnetic component from detaching from the assembly slot.

[0012] The cooking equipment includes a door that can be opened and closed, and a control box for operating the cooking equipment. The louver assembly has openings at the opening and closing points of the door and at the operation panel of the control box.

[0013] The louver assembly includes louver patches and louvers, each having an opening and a mounting slot. The louver patches are glued and fixed onto the louvers.

[0014] The cooking equipment is a microwave oven, oven, convection oven, or microwave-steam-grill combination appliance.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] By creating a mounting section on the front of the louver assembly that mates with fasteners, an operating space is formed on the front of the louver assembly for operating and locking the fasteners. Compared to existing methods that use screws to fix the louver assembly to the cabinet using the side, this structure solves the problem of inaccessibility in confined spaces, eliminating the need for users to place cooking equipment in large built-in cabinets. Furthermore, because the connection between the louver assembly and the fasteners is at the front, it avoids problems such as screw misalignment, tilting, stripped screw holes, and loose screws caused by inaccurate side positioning. This reduces the risk of cooking equipment falling out of the built-in cabinet, significantly improving installation stability and safety, and effectively ensuring a better user experience.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] See Figures 3-9 A fixing structure for a louvered component of an embedded cooking device includes a fastener 3 for fixing a louvered component 1 to a corresponding cabinet. The louvered component 1 is installed on the cooking device 2. The front of the louvered component 1 is provided with a mounting part that cooperates with the fastener 3. The cooking device 2, after being assembled with the louvered component 1, is embedded in the cabinet. The fastener 3 is locked from the front of the louvered component 1 to the mounting part of the louvered component 1, so that the louvered component 1 is fixed to the cabinet, and an operating space for operating the fastener 3 is formed in front of the louvered component 1.

[0028] By providing a mounting part that mates with the fastener 3 on the front of the louver assembly 1, an operating space is created on the front of the louver assembly 1 for operating and locking the fastener 3. Compared to the existing method of fixing the louver assembly 1 to the cabinet using screws on the side, this structure solves the problem of inaccessibility in confined spaces, eliminating the need for users to place the cooking equipment 2 in a large built-in cabinet. Furthermore, since the connection between the louver assembly 1 and the fastener 3 is at the front, problems such as screw misalignment, tilting, stripped screw holes, and loose screws due to inaccurate side positioning are avoided. This reduces the risk of the cooking equipment 2 falling out of the built-in cabinet, significantly improving installation stability and safety, and effectively ensuring a better user experience.

[0029] The mounting part includes an assembly slot 4 on the front of the louver assembly 1, and a fixing hole on the front of the cabinet corresponding to the assembly slot 4. The fastener 3 passes through the assembly slot 4 and the fixing hole to lock the louver assembly 1 onto the cabinet.

[0030] The mounting slot 4 on the front of the louver assembly 1 corresponds to the fixing hole on the front of the cabinet, making the installation of the fastener 3 more precise and convenient. This precise alignment ensures better locking of the fastener 3, preventing the louver assembly 1 from loosening due to improper installation. This effectively prevents the louver assembly 1 from falling off due to inadequate fixing when the cooking equipment 2 vibrates during operation, thus improving the stability and reliability of the cooking equipment 2 during use.

[0031] In this embodiment, fastener 3 is a screw.

[0032] The front of the louver assembly 1 is provided with a decorative piece 5 for covering the fastener 3 and the mounting slot 4.

[0033] In existing louver assembly 1, the stable connection structure is located on the side of the louver assembly 1 for aesthetic purposes. In this embodiment, the stable connection structure between the louver assembly 1 and the cabinet is located on the front. Therefore, the decorative piece 5 can effectively cover the fastener 3 and the mounting slot 4 on the front of the louver assembly 1, making the product appearance cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the decorative piece 5 can prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the mounting slot 4, improving user satisfaction with the product from both aesthetic and practical perspectives.

[0034] The outer surface of the decorative element 5 is flush with the front of the louver assembly 1.

[0035] The outer surface of decorative component 5 is flush with the front of the venetian blind assembly 1. This design makes the product appearance smoother and more streamlined, further enhancing its overall aesthetics. If the outer surface of decorative component 5 is not flush with the front of the venetian blind assembly 1, it may appear as a protrusion or depression, affecting not only the product's visual appeal but also potentially causing it to scratch the user or other objects during daily use. The flush design makes the product surface appear seamless, meeting modern consumers' pursuit of a refined product appearance while avoiding potential safety hazards caused by uneven surfaces, thus providing users with a superior user experience.

[0036] The assembly slot 4 is provided with a magnetic component 6 for adsorbing the decorative component 5, and the decorative component 5 is fixed to the outside of the assembly slot 4 by the magnetic component 6.

[0037] The decorative component 5 is secured using magnetic attraction. Compared to traditional methods such as adhesive bonding or snap-fit ​​connections, the magnetic attraction of the component 6 provides a more convenient and secure fixation. Adhesive bonding may weaken over time or due to temperature changes, causing the decorative component 5 to detach. Snap-fit ​​connections may loosen after repeated disassembly and reassembly. The magnetic attraction of the component 6 ensures that the decorative component 5 remains firmly fixed to the outside of the mounting slot 4. Furthermore, removing the decorative component 5 is easier for internal structural inspection or repair, improving product maintenance convenience and enhancing the overall user experience throughout the product's lifespan.

[0038] The assembly slot 4 is provided with a positioning step 4.1, and one end of the magnetic component 6 is limited and installed on the positioning step 4.1 of the assembly slot 4.

[0039] The positioning step 4.1 provides precise positioning for the magnetic component 6, ensuring its accurate placement within the assembly slot 4. This not only allows the magnetic component 6 to better adhere to the decorative component 5, guaranteeing its stable fixation, but also prevents it from shifting or becoming misaligned within the assembly slot 4, avoiding insecure fixing of the decorative component 5 due to improper positioning. Furthermore, this positioning design standardizes and regulates the installation process, improves production assembly efficiency, reduces quality issues caused by assembly errors, and ensures users purchase reliable products.

[0040] In this embodiment, the magnetic component 6 is a magnet, and the decorative component 5 is a stainless steel decorative ring.

[0041] The magnetic component 6 is provided with a limiting rib 6.1 on its outer side. The limiting rib 6.1 of the magnetic component 6 abuts against the inner wall of the assembly slot 4, so that the limiting rib 6.1 forms an anti-detachment part to prevent the magnetic component 6 from detaching from the assembly slot 4.

[0042] The presence of the limiting rib 6.1 further enhances the stability of the magnetic component 6 within the assembly slot 4, preventing it from detaching due to various external forces (such as vibration or impact). If the magnetic component 6 detaches from the assembly slot 4, the decorative component 5 will lose its fixation, affecting the product's aesthetics and the protection of its internal structure. This anti-detachment design effectively avoids this situation, improves the reliability of the entire fixing structure, and eliminates user concerns about problems caused by the magnetic component 6 falling off, enhancing user confidence in the product's quality.

[0043] The cooking device 2 includes an opening and closing door 7 and a control box 11 for operating the cooking device 2. The louver assembly 1 has an opening window 8 corresponding to the opening and closing of the door 7 and the operation panel of the control box 11.

[0044] The opening window 8 is designed to cooperate with the opening and closing of the door 7, so that the door 7 will not be obstructed by the louver assembly 1 during opening and closing, and to ensure the normal operation of the control box 11 of the cooking equipment 2.

[0045] The louver assembly 1 includes a louver patch 9 and a louver 10, both of which are provided with an opening window 8 and an assembly slot 4. The louver patch 9 is pasted and fixed on the louver 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the louver patch 9 and the louver 10 are glued and fixed to form the louver assembly 1 installed on the cooking device 2. The cooking device 2 is then placed in the built-in cabinet and arranged neatly. The fastener 3 is fixed and tightened to the built-in cabinet through the mounting slots 4 on the front of the louver patch 9 and the louver 10, thereby confining the cooking device 2 in the built-in cabinet. Then, the magnetic component 6 is installed into the mounting slots 4 on the front of the louver assembly 1, and the decorative component 5 is installed on the surface of the magnetic component 6 to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0047] The cooking device 2 is a microwave oven, oven, convection oven, or microwave-steam-grill combination machine.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
