Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of smoke-blocking components for integrated stoves, and particularly relates to a stable mounting bracket, an integrated stove, and an integrated stove. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of integrated cooktops, the upper-level computer component typically includes a baffle plate to prevent the spread of cooking fumes. This baffle plate needs to protrude from the top of the cooktop to effectively guide the fumes into the fume collection chamber. However, due to the limited space in the baffle plate installation area (because it is located at the top edge of the cooktop and needs to avoid other functional components), traditional connection structures have significant drawbacks, such as the simplification of connection points: the baffle plate is usually only directly fixed to the fume hood or side column through a few points, resulting in a lack of effective support for its non-connected ends (such as the top plane); another issue is that the leverage effect exacerbates instability. When users place items (such as cooking utensils) on the non-connected ends of the baffle plate, the external force will form a lever effect with the connection point as the fulcrum, causing the connection structure to bear a torsional load far greater than the actual load; thus leading to a high maintenance rate.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can achieve a stable connection between the smoke baffle and multiple components through structural optimization without increasing the installation space. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application further improves the structure of the mounting components on the integrated stove, aiming to obtain a stable mounting structure. One objective of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket for a smoke baffle assembly, and another objective is to provide a corresponding integrated stove.

[0005] The specific technical solution is explained below: A mounting bracket for a smoke baffle assembly includes a mounting base and a mounting platform disposed on the mounting base; The mounting base includes a smoke collection support and a smoke baffle extending away from the smoke collection support; the smoke collection support includes a smoke collection hood mounting part connected to the smoke collection hood and a column mounting part connected to the side column. The mounting platform includes a smoke baffle mounting part connected to the smoke baffle and a cover plate mounting part connected to the cover plate; The smoke baffle mounting part is disposed on the smoke baffle support, and the cover plate mounting part is disposed on both the smoke baffle support and the smoke collection support. The smoke baffle mounting part and the cover plate mounting part have a common connection structure.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the mounting bracket simultaneously connects the smoke hood, side columns, smoke baffle, and cover plate, and the smoke baffle and cover plate share a common connection point, which enhances the overall connection stability of the smoke baffle structure.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the smoke-blocking support has a gradually thinning thickness along the direction away from the smoke-collecting support.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the gradually thinning smoke collection support fits the thin design of the smoke baffle and can reduce the load on the head by adjusting the center of gravity.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the smoke baffle mounting portion is provided with a first reinforcing groove, and the cover plate mounting portion is provided with a second reinforcing groove.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the two reinforcing grooves are used to enhance the support strength of the smoke baffle mounting part and the cover mounting part. In particular, their sidewalls are set vertically relative to the support force, making them less prone to bending.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the first reinforcing groove has a groove shape conforming to the installation extension direction of the smoke baffle, and the shape of the first reinforcing groove provides better support for the smoke baffle mounting portion in the extension direction.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a strip-shaped positioning hole is provided on the surface where the column mounting part is located, so that convenient positioning can be achieved through the cooperation of the positioning hole and positioning component (such as screw).

[0013] In some embodiments, an operating window is provided on the opposite side of the side where the column mounting part is located, which facilitates the insertion of a screwdriver to drive screws, especially when the column mounting part is fixed to the side column.

[0014] In some embodiments, a reinforcing protrusion is provided at the connection between the surface where the smoke hood is mounted and the bottom surface of the mounting bracket to strengthen the connection at the corner of the two surfaces.

[0015] In some embodiments, both the smoke baffle mounting part and the cover plate mounting part are connected to the mounting base through a folded edge structure. This method is easy to implement and operate, and provides good installation stability.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the cover plate mounting portion is inclined and tilted upwards in the direction from the smoke baffle mounting portion to the smoke collection hood mounting portion during use, forming a triangular-like structure that provides more stable support.

[0017] The integrated cooktop includes a smoke collection hood, side columns at both ends of the smoke collection hood, and a smoke baffle, as well as the mounting bracket and cover plate described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0018] In summary, the technical solution described in this utility model has the following main beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention simultaneously connects the smoke hood, side columns, smoke baffle and cover plate, and the smoke baffle and cover plate share a common connection point, which enhances the overall connection stability of the smoke baffle structure.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting bracket can fit the thin design of the smoke baffle and can reduce the load on the head by adjusting the center of gravity.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments: The core technical problem faced by the technical solution of the embodiments of this application stems from the inventor's accurate understanding of the prior art. Therefore, how to make the smoke baffle have a stable installation structure is a technical problem that the inventor urgently needs to solve.

[0025] It should be noted that the embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model. All technical solutions that can be reasonably expected by those skilled in the art based on the technical concepts provided / proved by the embodiments should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.

[0026] The specific implementation examples are detailed below: Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 This embodiment relates to a mounting bracket for a smoke baffle assembly. In its implementation, the mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting base 2.1 and a mounting platform 2.2 disposed on the mounting base 2.1.

[0027] Specifically, the mounting base 2.1 consists of a smoke collection support 2.11 and a smoke baffle support 2.12. The smoke collection support 2.11 is located at the smoke collection hood a of the integrated stove, while the smoke baffle support 2.12 extends away from the smoke collection support 2.11. The smoke collection support 2.11 further includes a smoke collection hood mounting part 2.111 and a column mounting part 2.112. The smoke collection hood mounting part 2.111 is designed to be connected to the smoke collection hood a by screws or other means, and the column mounting part 2.112 is used to be connected to the side column b by screws or other means.

[0028] The mounting platform 2.2 includes a smoke baffle mounting part 2.21 and a cover mounting part 2.22. The smoke baffle mounting part 2.21 is used to connect with the smoke baffle 1 by screws or other means, and the cover mounting part 2.22 is used to connect with the cover 4 by screws or other means. The smoke baffle mounting part 2.21 is disposed on the smoke baffle support 2.12, and the cover mounting part 2.22 is disposed on both the smoke baffle support 2.12 and the smoke collection support 2.11, so that the smoke baffle mounting part 2.21 and the cover mounting part 2.22 share a common connection point, such as fixing both through a screw hole. This design allows for the use of common methods such as screw installation during installation, improving the versatility of operation. Therefore, this technical solution can solve the problems of narrow connection area and unstable stress of the smoke baffle in the prior art. Because the mounting bracket realizes the connection of the smoke hood a, the side column b, the smoke baffle 1 and the cover plate 4 at the same time, and the connection of the smoke baffle 1 and the cover plate 4 share a connection point, which enhances the overall connection stability of the smoke baffle structure and effectively prevents loosening or maintenance needs when the non-connection end is subjected to force, thereby improving the user experience.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the smoke baffle 2.12 has a gradually thinning thickness along the direction away from the smoke collecting support 2.11. Specifically, the thickness of the smoke baffle 2.12 gradually decreases from a thicker portion near the smoke collecting support 2.11 to a thinner portion at the far end, forming a smoothly transitioning wedge-shaped structure. This thickness variation is designed with the geometry of the smoke baffle 1 in mind, ensuring a uniform gradient without stress concentration points. Therefore, this technical solution, through the gradually thinning design of the smoke baffle 2.12, meets the requirements of the thin design of the smoke baffle 1 and can reduce the load on the head by adjusting the center of gravity, avoiding the local overload problem caused by the narrow connection area in the prior art, and improving the reliability of long-term use.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a first reinforcing groove 2.211 is provided on the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21, and a second reinforcing groove 2.221 is provided on the cover mounting portion 2.22. The first reinforcing groove 2.211 is a recessed structure formed on the surface of the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21, and the second reinforcing groove 2.221 is also formed on the surface of the cover mounting portion 2.22. Both are linear grooves that penetrate most of the length of the respective mounting portions. The position and depth of these grooves are designed to enhance the vertical support capacity of the sidewalls. Thus, the two reinforcing grooves in this technical solution are used to strengthen the support strength of the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21 and the cover mounting portion 2.22. In particular, their sidewalls are vertically arranged relative to the load of the supporting force, making them less prone to bending. This directly addresses the shortcoming of the prior art where non-connecting ends are prone to bending under stress, ensuring the rigidity of the mounting point.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the first reinforcing groove 2.211 has a groove shape conforming to the extending direction of the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21. That is, the contour and orientation of the groove are consistent with the length direction of the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21, for example, a straight groove or a slightly curved groove parallel to the main axis of the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21, to match the installation trajectory of the smoke baffle 1. This shape design is achieved through a stamping process during manufacturing, ensuring overall coordination between the groove and the mounting portion. Therefore, the shape of the first reinforcing groove 2.211 provides better support for the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21 in the extending direction, strengthens the axial load capacity, and further solves the deformation problem caused by uneven stress in the prior art.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a strip-shaped positioning hole 2.113 is provided on the surface where the column mounting part 2.112 is located. The positioning hole 2.113 is an elongated through hole that penetrates the mounting surface of the column mounting part 2.112, with a length greater than its width, facilitating position adjustment during installation using bolts or positioning pins. The positioning hole 2.113 allows for slight adjustment of the position of the side column b during installation. Thus, this technical solution, through the cooperation of the positioning hole 2.113 and positioning components (such as screws), achieves convenient positioning, simplifies the installation steps, improves alignment accuracy, and avoids the installation instability caused by difficulty in alignment in narrow connection areas in the prior art.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, an operating window 2.114 is provided opposite the side of the column mounting portion 2.112. The operating window 2.114 is a rectangular or circular opening, generally located on the side of the mounting bracket 2, and its size is designed to accommodate a standard screwdriver head. During installation, the operating window 2.114 provides a direct passage to the connection port of the column mounting portion 2.112. Therefore, the operating window 2.114 facilitates the insertion of a screwdriver to drive screws (especially when the column mounting portion 2.112 is fixed to the side column 4), reducing blind spots during installation, improving operational efficiency, and optimizing the problem of inconvenient maintenance in the prior art.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing protrusion 2.115 is provided at the connection between the surface of the smoke hood mounting part 2.111 and the bottom surface of the mounting bracket. The reinforcing protrusion 2.115 is a small raised structure located at the corner of the two surfaces, added by welding or integral molding, and is triangular or rectangular in shape, increasing the material thickness in this area. Therefore, this technical solution strengthens the connection at the corner of the two surfaces, prevents breakage caused by stress concentration, improves overall durability, and solves the weakness of easy damage under stress in the prior art.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, both the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21 and the cover mounting portion 2.22 are connected to the mounting base 2.1 via a folded edge structure. The folded edge structure involves bending the edge of the mounting platform 2.2 at a 90-degree angle or a specific angle and then welding, riveting, or screwing it to the mounting base 2.1 to form a stable L-shaped or U-shaped connection. This bending is achieved during manufacturing using a bending machine to ensure consistent angles. Therefore, the folded edge connection method is easy to implement and operate, provides good installation stability, improves production efficiency, enhances the torsional resistance of the connection point, and simplifies the assembly process compared to existing technologies.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the cover plate mounting portion 2.22 is inclined and, in use, tilts upwards along the direction from the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21 toward the smoke collection hood mounting portion 2.111. Specifically, the angle of the cover plate mounting portion 2.22 is designed to rise from the smoke baffle support 2.12 toward the smoke collection support 2.11, forming a coordinated layout with the smoke baffle mounting portion 2.21 and the smoke collection hood mounting portion 2.111. Thus, this inclined structure forms a triangular-like structure, providing more stable support, increasing overall rigidity, effectively distributing the load when the non-connected ends are subjected to force, and improving the impact resistance of the smoke baffle.

[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 This embodiment also describes a technical solution for an integrated stove, including a smoke collection hood a, side columns b disposed at both ends of the smoke collection hood a, and a smoke baffle 1, as well as the mounting bracket 2 and cover plate 4 described in any of the above embodiments. In a specific implementation, the mounting bracket 2 is connected to the smoke collection hood a, side columns b, smoke baffle 1, and cover plate 4 through its various mounting parts to form a complete assembly; during the assembly of the integrated stove, the smoke baffle 1 is fixed to a designated position by the mounting bracket 2. Therefore, the integrated stove has a stable smoke baffle mounting structure. Through the optimized design of the mounting bracket 2, the problem of poor connection stability in the prior art is solved, reducing the maintenance rate and improving user satisfaction.
