A cabinet structure for an embedded ice maker

Abstract

This utility model discloses a cabinet structure for an embedded ice maker, including a cabinet body. Outer shell panels are installed on the upper, right, lower, and left outer sides of the cabinet body. A U-shaped panel is installed on the front side of the cabinet body, with all four outer edges of the U-shaped panel folded back. Each folded edge is fixedly connected to its corresponding outer shell panel. The front side of the cabinet is a single piece of stainless steel U-shaped panel, which is more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the four outer sides of the cabinet are made of galvanized steel, embedded within the cabinet and not exposed, thus reducing costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embedded ice maker technology, and more specifically, to a cabinet structure for an embedded ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, ice makers, as common refrigeration appliances, are gradually entering homes. Existing built-in ice makers include a cabinet with an opening on the front. An openable door is installed at this opening. When the ice maker is embedded in the cabinet, only the front of the cabinet is exposed when the door is opened. To achieve a premium look, the front of the cabinet is covered with stainless steel. Currently, the practice is to cover the four outer sides of the cabinet with a single piece of stainless steel, while the rear of the cabinet has a separate stainless steel plate or none (to save costs). The front of the cabinet is covered by a stainless steel plate that extends forward and bends. When the ice maker door is opened, the front of the cabinet appears as... Figure 2 As shown, there is a 45° gap at each of the four corners, which is very unsightly. In addition, the top, bottom, left and right sides of the cabinet are all covered with stainless steel plates, which is costly.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cabinet structure for an embedded ice maker, aiming to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] An embedded ice maker cabinet structure includes a cabinet body, with outer shell panels installed on the upper outer side, right outer side, lower outer side and left outer side of the cabinet body, and a U-shaped panel installed on the front side of the cabinet body. The four outer edges of the U-shaped panel are folded back, and each folded edge is fixedly connected to the corresponding outer shell panel.

[0006] Preferably, the outer shell plate is a galvanized sheet.

[0007] Preferably, the U-shaped panel is made of stainless steel.

[0008] Preferably, all four outer edges of the U-shaped panel are folded back 90° to form folded edges.

[0009] Preferably, each folded edge is riveted or welded to the corresponding outer shell panel.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The cabinet structure of the embedded ice maker described in this embodiment of the utility model features a single piece of stainless steel U-shaped panel on the front side of the cabinet, which is more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the four outer sides of the cabinet, on the top, bottom, left, and right, are made of galvanized sheet, which is embedded in the cabinet and not exposed, thus reducing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cabinet structure of this utility model.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the front side structure of the cabinet in the existing technology.

[0015] In the diagram: 1. Outer shell panel; 2. Rectangular panel; 3. Folded edge. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cabinet structure for an embedded ice maker, including a cabinet body. The upper outer side, right outer side, lower outer side and left outer side of the cabinet body are respectively equipped with outer shell plates 1. The outer shell plates 1 can be a single piece of plate or four pieces of plate, which are specifically fixedly connected by rivets.

[0019] Among them, the outer shell plate 1 is made of galvanized sheet, which greatly reduces material costs compared to existing stainless steel plates.

[0020] The front side of the cabinet body is equipped with a U-shaped panel 2, which can completely cover the front side of the cabinet body. The U-shaped panel 2 is made of stainless steel. The four outer edges of the U-shaped panel 2 are folded back 90° to form folded edges 3. The four folded edges 3 are fixedly connected to the corresponding outer shell panel 1, specifically by riveting or welding.

[0021] In summary, the cabinet structure of the embedded ice maker described in this embodiment of the present invention features a single piece of stainless steel U-shaped panel on the front side of the cabinet, which is more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the four outer sides of the cabinet, on the top, bottom, left, and right, are made of galvanized sheet, which is embedded in the cabinet and not exposed, thus reducing costs.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
