[0035] Household appliances can include steam ovens, ovens, dishwashers, etc.

[0036] Household appliances include a door structure and a front-opening cabinet. The door structure is movably positioned at the opening of the cabinet, thereby opening or closing the cabinet. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the door structure of this preferred embodiment includes a control panel 1, a decorative strip 2, and a front panel 3 located in front of the control panel 1. The decorative strip 2 extends in the left-right direction, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, the decorative strip 2 includes a mounting portion 21 located between the control panel 1 and the front panel 3, and a decorative portion 22 located on top of the front panel 3, with the decorative portion 22 situated on top of the mounting portion 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, the front wall of the control panel 1 has a groove 11 with an open top and front. The mounting part 21 is embedded in the groove 11 from top to bottom. The two ends of the decorative part 22 extend out of the mounting part 21. The bottom wall of both ends of the decorative part 22 is provided with a groove 221. The tops of the left and right ends of the control panel 1 are respectively embedded in the corresponding grooves 221. In this way, the seam between the control panel 1 and the front panel 3 is completely filled by the decorative strip 2, which is aesthetically pleasing and consistent.

[0039] like Figures 3-7As shown, the mounting part 21 and the control panel 1 are detachably bound together by a latching protrusion 10 and a slot 211 into which the latching protrusion 10 is inserted. The latching protrusion 10 extends in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, there are two slots 211, respectively located near the left and right ends of the mounting part 21. One slot 211 is sized to match the latching protrusion 10 (this slot 211 is circular, and the latching protrusion 10 is cylindrical), and the other slot 211 extends in the left-to-right direction and is strip-shaped (the latching protrusion 10 inserted in this slot 211 is cylindrical). Because the control panel 1 is usually made of plastic, its size in the left-to-right direction will vary considerably in different seasons. The strip-shaped slot 211 is used to accommodate the size changes of the control panel 1. In this embodiment, the latching protrusion 10 is provided on the control panel 1, and the slot 211 is provided on the mounting part 21.

[0040] With the protrusion 10 inserted into the slot 211, the control panel 1 and the mounting part 21 are also connected by a connector. In this embodiment, the connector is a screw, which is low in cost and readily available.

[0042] In addition, the first connecting hole 212 is a tapered structure that gradually narrows from front to back. When the control panel 1 and the mounting part 21 are connected by a connector, the head of the screw is hidden in the first connecting hole 212 to prevent the screw from protruding and affecting the installation of the front panel 3, and to reduce the thickness space occupied by the decorative strip 2 and the screw as a whole in the front-back direction.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the decorative part 22 is used to improve the aesthetics of the door, and the mounting part 21 is used to position the decorative strip 2 relative to the control panel 1. The mounting part 21 and the control panel 1 are first pre-positioned by the cooperation of the latch protrusion 10 and the slot 211, and then the mounting part 21 and the control panel 1 are connected by the connector, which has good assembly stability. Compared with the adhesive method, it not only has better assembly stability, but also does not have the problem of glue overflow.

[0044] In this embodiment, the front panel 3 is a glass panel, which can be attached to the control panel 1.

[0045] Decorative strip 2 can be made of metal, in various colors, or have patterns engraved on it.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] like Figures 11-13As shown, the structure of the decorative strip 2 in this embodiment is slightly different from that in embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the front wall of the control panel 1 is provided with a groove 11 with an open top and front. The mounting part 21 is embedded in the groove 11 from top to bottom. The mounting parts 21 extend from both the left and right ends of the decorative part 22.
