Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave oven technology, specifically to an embedded microwave oven cover. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave ovens are a common appliance in modern kitchens, and to maintain the overall aesthetics and tidiness of the kitchen, they are increasingly designed for built-in installation. This involves embedding the microwave oven into a specific cavity within a cabinet, with a microwave cover matching the cabinet door style installed at the cavity opening to conceal the microwave and enhance its appearance. Traditional built-in microwave covers typically use plastic frames (such as ABS) and employ multiple plastic clips or claws on the back of the frame. These clips utilize the elasticity of the plastic to force the frame into grooves at the edge of the cavity opening or directly onto the cabinet panel for fixation. However, this traditional clip-on fixing method has several drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Inconvenient to install and remove, and easily damaged: Installing and removing the face frame requires a lot of force to deform the clips, making the operation laborious; during the disassembly process, the plastic clips are very easy to break or permanently deform due to excessive force or fatigue, resulting in the face frame being unable to be fixed again or not fixed securely; once a clip is damaged, the entire face frame may face the risk of being scrapped.

[0004] 2. Short service life: After repeated disassembly and assembly, the elasticity of the plastic buckles will gradually weaken, and they will show signs of aging and loosening, resulting in gaps between the frame and the cabinet, or even loosening and falling off, affecting the long-term reliability of the product.

[0005] 3. Difficult to maintain and clean: Due to the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and the risk of damage, users are usually unwilling to frequently disassemble the front panel for cleaning. As a result, oil and dust easily accumulate around the microwave oven door, inside the front panel, and on the edge of the oven cavity, making it difficult to clean thoroughly and affecting kitchen hygiene.

[0006] Therefore, the market urgently needs an embedded microwave oven cover solution that is easy to install and disassemble, has a reliable connection, a long service life, and is easier to maintain and clean. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an embedded microwave oven cover that uses a magnetic connection to fix a metal frame, enabling quick and tool-free assembly and disassembly of the frame. This greatly facilitates users in cleaning the microwave oven door, frame, and interior cavity. At the same time, this connection method avoids the wear, breakage, or loosening problems that may occur after repeated assembly and disassembly of traditional snap-fit ​​structures, thus improving the product's lifespan and reliability.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an embedded microwave oven cover, comprising: a base, which is fixedly installed inside the oven cavity of the oven cabinet to support the microwave oven; a metal corner bracket, which is fixedly installed on the corner of the oven cavity opening; and a metal face frame, which is magnetically connected to the metal corner bracket via a magnetic connector.

[0009] Furthermore, the metal corner bracket includes a locking panel and a magnetic panel. The locking panel is fixedly connected to the furnace cabinet by bolts, and the magnetic panel is integrally formed vertically with the locking panel and is arranged parallel to the furnace cavity opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the magnetic attractor is an annular magnetic attractor with a through hole in its middle; the magnetic attractor is locked to the magnetic attractor panel by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, an extension plate extends from the connection end of the magnetic panel and the locking panel, and the extension plate is fitted to the furnace cabinet.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of metal corner brackets is four, and the four metal corner brackets are respectively installed at the four corners of the furnace cavity opening.

[0013] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate and two support protrusions disposed on the base plate and arranged opposite to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an air guide installed on the upper part of the microwave oven, wherein the air guide forms an air guide channel with the top surface of the microwave oven, and the air guide channel extends from the front surface of the microwave oven to the rear surface.

[0015] Furthermore, the air guide is assembled from multiple integrally formed panels that can be folded through fold lines.

[0016] Furthermore, the air guide is installed on the upper left side of the microwave oven.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The microwave oven cover of this utility model uses a magnetic connection to fix the metal frame, which enables quick and tool-free disassembly and assembly of the metal frame. This greatly facilitates users in cleaning the microwave oven door, frame, and interior cavity. At the same time, this connection method avoids the wear, breakage, or loosening problems that may occur after repeated disassembly and assembly of traditional buckle structures, thus improving the product's service life and reliability. The magnetic connection also has a certain degree of self-adjustment capability, requiring lower installation precision.

[0019] 2. The ring-shaped magnetic chuck can save materials and reduce weight while ensuring sufficient magnetic attraction area; secondly, the through hole in the middle provides space for bolt installation, making the magnetic chuck very firmly fixed and preventing the magnet from falling off due to long-term use or vibration; this design achieves a combination of magnetic attraction function and mechanical locking, taking into account both convenience and reliability.

[0020] 3. The air guide component forms an air duct with the top surface of the microwave oven, extending from the front to the rear surface. Embedded installation can obstruct normal heat dissipation of the microwave oven (especially the top). The air guide component, together with the top surface, creates a forced air duct, effectively guiding hot air generated at the rear or inside of the microwave oven from the rear to the front and exhausting it. This prevents hot air from circulating on the top of the microwave oven, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and preventing damage from overheating. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embedded microwave oven cover, including a base 1, a metal bracket 2, and a metal frame 3. The base 1 is fixedly installed inside the oven cavity of the oven cabinet 100 to support the microwave oven; the metal bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the corner of the oven cavity opening; the metal frame 3 is magnetically connected to the metal bracket 2 via a magnetic 4.

[0029] The microwave oven cover of this invention uses a magnetic connection to fix the metal frame 3, enabling quick and tool-free assembly and disassembly of the metal frame 3. This greatly facilitates users in cleaning the microwave oven door, frame, and interior cavity. At the same time, this connection method avoids the wear, breakage, or loosening problems that may occur after repeated assembly and disassembly of traditional snap-fit ​​structures, thus improving the product's service life and reliability. The magnetic connection also has a certain degree of self-adjustment capability, requiring lower installation precision.

[0030] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the metal corner bracket 2 includes a locking panel 21 and a magnetic panel 22. The locking panel 21 is fixedly connected to the furnace cabinet 100 by bolts. The magnetic panel 22 is integrally formed perpendicularly to the locking panel 21 and is arranged parallel to the furnace cavity opening. The locking panel 21 ensures a firm and stable connection between the metal corner bracket 2 and the furnace cabinet 100. The magnetic panel 22 provides a flat and reliable mounting reference surface for the magnetic component 4, ensuring that the metal frame 3 can be tightly and flatly attached to it. The integral forming process ensures the overall structural strength of the metal corner bracket 2 and prevents deformation.

[0031] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic attractor 4 is an annular magnetic attractor 4 with a through hole in its central part; the magnetic attractor 4 is locked to the magnetic attractor panel 22 by bolts. The annular structure of the magnetic attractor 4 can save materials and reduce weight while ensuring sufficient magnetic attraction area; secondly, the through hole in the middle provides space for bolt installation, making the magnetic attractor 4 very firmly fixed and preventing the magnet from falling off due to long-term use or vibration; this design realizes the combination of magnetic attraction function and mechanical locking, taking into account both convenience and reliability.

[0032] As attached Figure 3 As shown, an extension plate 23 extends from the connection end of the magnetic panel 22 and the locking panel 21, and the extension plate 23 is in contact with the furnace cabinet 100. The extension plate 23 increases the contact area between the metal corner bracket 2 and the furnace cabinet 100. This brings two main benefits: first, it enhances the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the metal corner bracket 2 after installation, preventing the metal corner bracket 2 from tilting due to force; second, it can distribute the force on the metal corner bracket 2 more evenly, reducing the pressure per unit area on the furnace cabinet 100 plate during installation or long-term use, avoiding indentations or damage.

[0033] As attached Figure 2As shown, there are four metal corner brackets 2, which are installed at the four corners of the furnace cavity opening. This allows for uniform and symmetrical magnetic adsorption of the metal frame 3, ensuring that all four sides of the metal frame 3 fit tightly together. This prevents warping, shaking, or gaps caused by uneven force, and guarantees the flatness, stability, and aesthetics after installation.

[0034] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 includes a base plate 11 and two supporting protrusions 12 disposed on the base plate 11 and arranged opposite to each other. The base 1 adopts a structure of base plate 11 plus two supporting protrusions 12, which not only supports the microwave oven, but also forms an air circulation channel between the base plate 11 and the bottom of the microwave oven. This is conducive to heat dissipation at the bottom of the microwave oven, prevents heat accumulation, and improves the safety and lifespan of the microwave oven when it is working in a closed cabinet.

[0035] This invention also includes an air guide 5 installed on the upper part of the microwave oven. The air guide 5 forms an air guide channel 51 with the top surface of the microwave oven, extending from the front surface to the rear surface. Embedded installation can hinder the normal heat dissipation of the microwave oven (especially the top). The air guide 5, together with the top surface of the microwave oven, forms a forced air guide channel 51, effectively guiding the high-temperature air generated at the rear or inside of the microwave oven from the rear to the front and exhausting it. This avoids hot air circulating at the top of the microwave oven, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and preventing damage to the equipment due to overheating.

[0036] As attached Figure 5 The air guide 5 shown is assembled from multiple integrally molded panels that can be folded along fold lines. During installation, installers can quickly and easily fold it into the desired shape, then place the air guide 5 on the microwave oven and secure it with tape.

[0037] The air guide 5 is installed on the upper left side of the microwave oven, which is usually one of the main areas where the microwave oven's heat dissipation vents or heat accumulates. By specifically setting an air guide channel here, the heat from the core heat source can be exported in the most direct and efficient way, achieving precise heat dissipation and achieving the best heat dissipation effect with the smallest structure.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
