Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave oven technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle-mounted microwave oven. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern technology, the equipment inside cars is becoming increasingly diverse. As an important piece of equipment, the car microwave oven facilitates passengers to quickly heat food during car travel and long-distance driving. However, existing car microwave ovens still have some shortcomings in their design, especially in their door design.

[0003] Currently, most car microwave ovens on the market have thick doors. While this design ensures the microwave oven's sealing and safety to some extent, the thick door also makes the overall size of the microwave oven too large, causing many inconveniences for installation. Especially when the interior space of a car is limited, the large size of the microwave oven not only occupies valuable storage space but may also affect the comfort of passengers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a vehicle-mounted microwave oven to solve the problems of existing vehicle-mounted microwave ovens having thick doors, which are inconvenient to install and occupy a large amount of space.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A vehicle-mounted microwave oven includes a housing and a door assembly. The door assembly is movably connected to the housing via a door hinge. The door assembly includes a door / window panel, a door frame, a door body, and a cover, arranged sequentially from left to right. The door body has U-shaped folds arranged at intervals along its edge. The door body also has ear plates located between adjacent U-shaped folds. The ear plates are used to fix the door frame. The minimum distance between the ear plates and the door / window panel is A, and the minimum distance between the U-shaped folds and the door / window panel is B. Then A < B.

[0007] The vehicle-mounted microwave oven described in this application uses connectors to fix the ear plate and the door frame together. This arrangement can hide the connectors between adjacent U-shaped folds, allowing the door and the cover to fit tightly together, reducing the thickness of the door, thereby reducing the overall volume of the microwave oven, reducing space occupation, and facilitating the installation of the microwave oven. At the same time, the U-shaped folds arranged at intervals on the edge of the door also have an excellent microwave shielding effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the side wall of the door is provided with a reinforcing recess, which is located on the side of the ear plate near the door and window panel. The reinforcing recess is used to strengthen the connection between the ear plate and the side wall of the door.

[0009] This setup provides additional support and connection points, thereby increasing the connection strength between the door sidewall and the ear plate and preventing damage or detachment of the ear plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the door is provided with a first slot, which is located at the connection between the U-shaped fold and the side wall of the door. The cover is provided with a first hook, which engages with the first slot to connect the door and the cover together.

[0011] This design ensures a secure connection between the door and the cover, while also facilitating the installation and removal of the door and the cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer casing is provided with a front panel, the front panel is provided with a placement opening, the placement opening is connected to the microwave heating chamber and is used to place items to be heated, the front panel is provided with a mesh plate, the mesh plate is located above the placement opening, the mesh plate is provided with a first mesh area, the left side of the mesh plate is provided with a second mesh area, and the right side is provided with a third mesh area, the first mesh area, the second mesh area and the third mesh area are used to discharge gas inside the microwave oven.

[0013] This design facilitates ventilation and exhaust in the microwave oven, preventing gas buildup and excessive pressure, thus preventing burns when users handle items. It also ensures even heat distribution inside the microwave oven, improving heating efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, the door frame is provided with a door frame cover plate, and the door frame cover plate is provided with a guide slope, which is used to guide the gas discharged from the first mesh area, the second mesh area and the third mesh area to flow upward.

[0015] The inclined surface guides the gas inside the microwave oven to flow upwards along the slope, increasing ventilation and allowing the gas inside the microwave oven to escape more smoothly. This prevents the gas from blowing directly onto the user and improves the safety of the microwave oven.

[0016] Furthermore, the door body is provided with a door hook, and the front plate is provided with a hook groove. The hook groove is located on the right side of the placement opening. The door hook and the hook groove cooperate to engage for closing the door assembly.

[0017] The combination of the door hook and the hook groove makes opening and closing the door assembly simple and convenient. This design also ensures a tight seal between the door assembly and the front panel, preventing heat and gas leakage from the microwave oven and improving the safety of the microwave oven.

[0018] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided with a clearance hole for avoiding the door hook.

[0019] This design facilitates the assembly of the cover.

[0020] Furthermore, the front panel is provided with a control panel, which is located on the right side of the front panel and is used to control the operating status of the microwave oven.

[0021] This setting makes it easy for users to adjust the microwave oven's operating status.

[0022] Furthermore, the door is provided with an observation window, which is used to view the internal condition of the microwave heating chamber.

[0023] This setup allows users to easily observe the heating status inside the microwave heating chamber, making operation more convenient.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle-mounted microwave oven of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0025] 1) It enables the door and cover to fit together tightly, reducing the thickness of the door and thus reducing the overall size of the microwave oven, minimizing space occupation, and facilitating microwave oven installation;

[0026] 2) The door body is equipped with U-shaped folds arranged at intervals, which have an excellent shielding effect against microwaves. Attached Figure Description
