[0097] The following describes the mounting structure 100 of the suspended electrical appliance 200 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0098] Referring to Figures 1-6, 13, and 34, a mounting structure 100 for a suspended electrical appliance 200 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes a mounting plate 3, a first bracket 1, and a second bracket 2. The mounting plate 3 is adapted to be secured to a mounting base 300, which may be a wall, a cabinet, or the like. For example, the mounting plate 3 may be a long, plate-like structure extending in an up-and-down direction. Optionally, the mounting plate 3 may be secured to the mounting base 300 using fasteners (e.g., screws).

[0099] 13 , 14 and 36 , a locking mechanism 4 is provided on the mounting plate 3 . The locking mechanism 4 includes a locking block 41 . The locking block 41 is movable between a first position and a second position.

[0100] 9-12 , a first bracket 1 is adapted to be mounted on a suspended electrical appliance 200 and is rotatably connected to a mounting plate 3 . The rotation axis of the first bracket 1 extends in the left-right direction, allowing the first bracket 1 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 3 about the rotation axis extending in the left-right direction. Since the first bracket 1 is mounted on the suspended electrical appliance 200, the suspended electrical appliance 200 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 3 about the rotation axis extending in the left-right direction. For example, the first bracket 1 can be integrally formed with the suspended electrical appliance 200; alternatively, the first bracket 1 can be removably mounted to the suspended electrical appliance 200 via fasteners.

[0101] 8-10 , the second bracket 2 is located above the first bracket 1 . The second bracket 2 may be provided on the hanging appliance 200 . For example, the second bracket 2 may be integrally formed with the hanging appliance 200 . Alternatively, the second bracket 2 may be detachably mounted on the hanging appliance 200 via fasteners.

[0102] In the first position, the locking block 41 engages with the second bracket 2 to mount the hanging appliance 200 on the mounting plate 3. In the second position, the locking block 41 disengages from the second bracket 2. The movement of the locking block 41 between the first and second positions allows the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 to engage and form a stable connection, thereby allowing the hanging appliance 200 to be suspended from the mounting base 300. This provides greater installation stability and reliability, and the entire installation process is more time-efficient and labor-saving, requiring fewer installation tools, making it possible for a single person to perform the installation.

[0103] In addition, during the installation of the hanging appliance 200, the first bracket 1 can receive auxiliary force from the mounting plate 3, and the hanging appliance 200 can be flipped around the rotation axis between the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting plate 3 to achieve labor-saving installation.

[0104] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the installation process of the hanging appliance 200 is as follows: first, confirm whether the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected to the hanging appliance 200. If the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are pre-installed on the hanging appliance 200, the operation of installing the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 on the hanging appliance 200 can be omitted; if the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are not installed on the hanging appliance 200, first install the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 on the hanging appliance 200, for example, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be installed and fixed to the hanging appliance 200 by fasteners; secondly, fix the mounting plate 3 to the mounting base 300, for example, the mounting plate 3 can be fixed to the mounting base 300 by fasteners; then, by moving the hanging appliance 200, the bottom of the hanging appliance 200 is facing upward, and the first bracket 1 set on the hanging appliance 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 3; finally, the hanging appliance 200 is flipped upward, so that the second bracket 2 contacts the locking block 41 and drives the locking block 41 to move from the first position to the second position, and the locking block 41 avoids the second bracket 2; the hanging appliance 200 continues to flip, and the locking block 41 moves from the second position to the first position, thereby realizing the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 being engaged, thereby completing the installation of the hanging appliance 200.

[0105] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, a hanging appliance 200 weighs 28 kg. If the hanging appliance 200 is directly lifted and then mounted on the mounting base 300, the required force is at least 280 N. However, by providing the aforementioned mounting structure 100 and leveraging the support provided by the mounting plate 3, the required force is calculated to be at most 170 N by flipping the hanging appliance 200 upward for mounting. This shows that the installation structure 100 can save effort.

[0106] According to the installation structure 100 of the embodiment of the present application, a rotational connection relationship is formed between the first bracket 1 provided on the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting plate 3. During the installation process of the hanging appliance 200, the first bracket 1 can be used to receive the auxiliary force from the mounting plate 3, and the hanging appliance 200 can be flipped around the rotation axis of the first bracket 1 to achieve labor-saving installation; after the hanging appliance 200 is flipped into place, the locking block 41 can be moved between the first position and the second position to achieve the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 being engaged and forming a stable connection relationship, so that the hanging appliance 200 can be installed on the mounting base 300. The entire installation process is more time-saving and labor-saving, can be achieved by one person for installation, can reduce the use of installation tools, and the hanging appliance 200 has strong installation stability and reliability.

[0107] 17 , 23 , 30 - 33 , 38 and 39 , according to some embodiments of the present application, a locking hole 221 is formed on one of the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 and a locking protrusion 412 is formed on the other, and the locking protrusion 412 extends into the locking hole 221 so that the locking block 41 is snap-fitted with the second bracket 2 .

[0108] A locking hole 221 is formed on one of the second bracket 2 and a locking protrusion 412 is formed on the other, which may include the following situations: a locking hole 221 is formed on the second bracket 2 and a locking protrusion 412 is formed on the locking block 41; or a locking protrusion 412 is formed on the second bracket 2 and a locking hole 221 is formed on the locking block 41.

[0109] The locking protrusion 412 extends into the locking hole 221 so that the locking block 41 is engaged with the second bracket 2, thereby connecting the hanging appliance 200 to the mounting plate 3, and then the hanging appliance 200 can be installed on the mounting base 300. In addition, the matching structure of the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 is relatively simple, the installation operation is also relatively simple and convenient, and the installation stability is relatively strong.

[0110] 10, 13, 14, and 39, according to some embodiments of the present application, the locking mechanism 4 includes a support 42 and an elastic reset member 45. The support 42 is provided on the mounting plate 3, and the elastic reset member 45 is connected between the support 42 and the locking block 41. The elastic reset member 45 is used to drive the locking block 41 to move from the second position to the first position. The elastic force of the elastic reset member 45 can realize the movement of the locking block 41 from the second position to the first position, and realize the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 to engage with each other, thereby installing the hanging electrical appliance 200 on the mounting plate 3. This process is relatively labor-saving, can reduce the use of installation tools, and reduce the number of installation steps.

[0111] For example, referring to Figures 26 and 29, according to some specific embodiments of the present application, the support 42 includes a supporting portion 421 and a connecting portion 423, and the supporting portion 421 and the connecting portion 423 are arranged at an angle, for example, the connecting portion 423 extends in the up and down directions and the supporting portion 421 is perpendicular to the connecting portion 423, and the elastic return member 45 is connected between the supporting portion 421 and the locking block 41; a first mounting hole 331 is formed on the mounting plate 3, and a second mounting hole 424 is formed on the connecting portion 423 of the support 42, and the fastener is suitable for being sequentially passed through the second mounting hole 424, the first mounting hole 331 and the mounting base 300, so as to fix the support 42 to the mounting plate 3, and fix the mounting plate 3 to the mounting base 300.

[0112] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, during the process of assembling the second bracket 2 to the mounting plate 3, the second bracket 2 contacts the locking block 41 and is suitable for driving the locking block 41 to move from the first position to the second position to avoid the installation space, so that the second bracket 2 can move to the installation space to facilitate the snap connection between the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41; and, after the second bracket 2 moves to the installation space, the elastic force of the elastic return member 45 can be used to achieve the movement of the locking block 41 from the second position to the first position, thereby achieving the snap fit between the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2. This process can reduce the use of installation tools and save time and effort.

[0113] According to some embodiments of the present application, the locking block 41 is movable in the vertical direction between a first position and a second position. For example, the first position is above the second position, or the second position is above the first position. By moving the locking block 41 in the vertical direction to the first position, the locking block 41 can be engaged with the second bracket 2 to mount the hanging appliance 200 on the mounting plate 3. This provides greater installation stability and reliability, and the installation process is more time-saving and labor-saving, reducing the need for installation tools and facilitating operation.

[0114] 8 , 14 , 30 - 33 and 38 , according to some optional embodiments of the present application, the first position is located above the second position, the second bracket 2 includes a second bracket body 21 and a locking portion 22, the second bracket body 21 is suitable for connecting with the hanging electrical appliance 200, the locking portion 22 is formed with a locking hole 221, and the locking block 41 is formed with a locking protrusion 412, the locking protrusion 412 is suitable for moving upward to extend into the locking hole 221 so that the locking block 41 is engaged with the second bracket 2, thereby connecting the hanging electrical appliance 200 to the mounting plate 3, and then the hanging electrical appliance 200 can be installed on the mounting base 300, and the matching structure of the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 is relatively simple, and the installation operation is also relatively simple and convenient; the locking protrusion 412 cooperates with the locking hole 221 to limit the hanging electrical appliance 200, and prevent the second bracket 2 from disengaging from the locking mechanism 4 after the hanging electrical appliance 200 is installed in place, so as to enhance the installation stability of the hanging electrical appliance 200.

[0115] 10, 13, 14 and 39, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the locking mechanism 4 includes a support 42 and an elastic reset member 45, the elastic reset member 45 is located above the support 42, the support 42 is provided on the mounting plate 3, the elastic reset member 45 is connected between the support seat and the locking block 41, the locking block 41 is located above the elastic reset member 45, and the elastic reset member 45 is used to drive the locking block 41 to move from the second position to the first position. Relying on the elastic force of the elastic reset member 45, the locking block 41 can be moved from bottom to top, so that the locking protrusion 412 moves upward to extend into the lock hole 221, thereby achieving the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 to engage with each other, so that the hanging electrical appliance 200 is installed on the mounting plate 3. This process is relatively labor-saving, can reduce the use of installation tools, and reduce the number of installation steps.

[0116] Referring to Figures 10, 11 and 42, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the locking block 41 includes a locking block body 411 and a locking protrusion 412, the locking protrusion 412 protrudes upward from the locking block body 411, and the front side of the locking protrusion 412 is formed with a guide slope 413, which extends backward in a bottom-to-top direction. During the process of assembling the second bracket 2 to the mounting plate 3, the locking portion 22 is suitable for contacting the guide slope 413, and the locking portion 22 can move upward along the guide slope 413. The locking portion 22 drives the locking block 41 from the first position to the second position to avoid the installation space. The locking portion 22 can move upward to the installation space to facilitate the locking portion 22 to be snap-fitted and connected with the locking block 41; and, after the locking portion 22 moves to the installation space, the elastic force of the elastic return member 45 can realize the movement of the locking block 41 from the second position to the first position, so that the locking protrusion 412 moves upward to extend into the locking hole 221, thereby realizing the snap-fitting of the locking block 41 with the second bracket 2. This process can reduce the use of installation tools and save time and effort.

[0117] For example, during the installation process of the hanging appliance 200, the specific cooperation process between the locking block 41 and the second bracket 2 is as follows: the hanging appliance 200 flips upward around the rotation axis of the cooperation shaft 12. After flipping a certain angle, the locking portion 22 of the second bracket 2 contacts the guide slope 413 of the locking block 41, and the locking portion 22 can move upward along the guide slope 413. The locking portion 22 drives the locking block 41 to move downward, and the locking block 41 moves from the first position to the second position; when the microwave oven is flipped into place, the second bracket 2 is located directly above the locking protrusion 412, and the locking block 41 moves upward under the action of the elastic reset member 45, and the locking block 41 moves from the second position to the first position, and the locking protrusion 412 moves upward to extend into the locking hole 221, so that the locking block 41 is engaged with the second bracket 2, thereby installing the hanging appliance 200 on the installation base 300.

[0118] 10 , 14 , 19 , and 39 , in some optional embodiments of the present application, the locking mechanism 4 further includes a guide post 43, the upper end of which is connected to the locking block 41, an elastic return member 45 is sleeved on the guide post 43, and a guide hole 422 is formed on the support 42, and the lower end of the guide post 43 is movably inserted into the guide hole 422. The guide hole 422 guides the movement of the guide post 43, and the guide post 43 guides the elastic return member 45, both of which help to improve the stability and reliability of the movement of the locking block 41.

[0119] For example, referring to Figures 19, 30, and 31, according to some specific embodiments of the present application, a positioning groove 414 is formed at the bottom of the locking block 41, and a first connecting hole 415 is formed on the side wall of the positioning groove 414, which passes through the side wall. The other end of the guide column 43 is adapted to be accommodated in the positioning groove 414 and is formed with a second connecting hole 431. The connecting pin 44 is adapted to be inserted into the first connecting hole 415 and the second connecting hole 431 to connect the guide column 43 and the locking block 41. The connecting pin 44 can be an elastic pin with elastic deformation ability. When the connecting pin 44 is inserted into the first connecting hole 415 and the second connecting hole 431, the connecting pin 44 can be interference fit with the first connecting hole 415 and the second connecting hole 431, preventing the connecting pin 44 from easily falling out of the first connecting hole 415 or the second connecting hole 431, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting pin 44 and thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the locking block 41 and the guide column 43.

[0120] 10 and 23 , in some optional embodiments of the present application, a forward-extending support flange 31 is formed at the upper end of the mounting plate 3. In a first position, the second bracket 2 is located above the support flange 31. A clearance hole 311 is formed on the support flange 31. The clearance hole 311 is vertically opposed to the locking hole 221. The locking protrusion 412 is adapted to move upward to extend into the clearance hole 311 and the locking hole 221. In this way, the locking block 41 can connect the mounting plate 3 to the second bracket 2, thereby achieving the installation of the suspended electrical appliance 200 on the mounting base 300 and further improving the installation stability of the suspended electrical appliance 200. For example, the clearance hole 311 and the locking hole 221 are both square holes, and the cross-section of the locking protrusion 412 is also polygonal, which can prevent the locking protrusion 412 from rotating within the clearance hole 311 or the locking hole 221, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG8 , first bracket 1 is located at or adjacent to the bottom of hanging appliance 200. During installation, by moving hanging appliance 200 to a bottom-up position, first bracket 1 can be moved closer to mounting plate 3, effectively shortening the distance that hanging appliance 200 must move when first bracket 1 is pivotally connected to mounting plate 3. Second bracket 2 is located at or adjacent to the top of hanging appliance 200, facilitating connection of second bracket 2 to mounting plate 3. Furthermore, after first bracket 1 and second bracket 2 are connected to mounting plate 3, the connection points between first bracket 1, second bracket 2, and mounting plate 3 serve as force points, with a larger distance between them, thereby improving the stability of the installation. Furthermore, after first bracket 1 is pivotally connected to mounting plate 3, when second bracket 2 needs to be snapped onto mounting plate 3, second bracket 2, located adjacent to the bottom of hanging appliance 200, can support hanging appliance 200 with the aid of mounting plate 3, providing a convenient and labor-saving solution.

[0122] Therefore, by having the first bracket 1 located at or adjacent to the bottom of the hanging appliance 200 and the second bracket 2 located at or adjacent to the top of the hanging appliance 200, the installation process of the hanging appliance 200 is more convenient and labor-saving. After the hanging appliance 200 is installed, the hanging appliance 200 has strong installation stability and reliability.

[0123] 8 , according to some optional embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 1 is adapted to be connected to the bottom surface or rear side wall of the hanging appliance 200, and the second bracket 2 is adapted to be connected to the top surface or rear side wall of the hanging appliance 200. This makes it easier to connect the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 to the mounting plate 3, and after the installation process is completed, the mounting plate 3 provides a more stable support for the hanging appliance.

[0124] 9 and 12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 1 is detachably connected to the suspended electrical appliance 200, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first bracket 1 and facilitates replacement when the first bracket 1 is worn out. It also improves the versatility of the mounting structure 100 so that the mounting structure 100 can be used with different types of electrical appliances. It also facilitates the retrofit application of electrical appliances that have not had the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 pre-installed.

[0125] 9 and 11 , according to some optional embodiments of the present application, the second bracket 2 is detachably connected to the suspended electrical appliance 200, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the second bracket 2 and facilitates replacement when the second bracket 2 is worn out. It also improves the versatility of the mounting structure 100 so that the mounting structure 100 can be used with different types of electrical appliances. It also facilitates the retrofit application of electrical appliances that have not had the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 pre-installed.

[0126] 8-12 , according to some optional embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 1 is detachably connected to the hanging electrical appliance 200, and the second bracket 2 is detachably connected to the hanging electrical appliance 200. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, and facilitates replacement when the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are worn out. This also improves the versatility of the mounting structure 100, allowing the mounting structure 100 to be used with different types of electrical appliances. It also facilitates the improved application of electrical appliances that have not had the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 installed in advance.

[0127] 12 and 23 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 1 includes a first bracket body 11 and a mating shaft 12. A mating hole 32 is formed on the mounting plate 3. The first bracket body 11 is adapted to be connected to the hanging appliance 200. The mating shaft 12 is rotatably received in the mating hole 32 and supported by the bottom wall of the mating hole 32. Thus, a rotatable connection is formed between the first bracket 1 and the mounting plate 3, simplifying installation. During installation of the hanging appliance 200, the mounting plate 3 provides support for the first bracket 1, and thereby for the hanging appliance 200, through the bottom wall of the mating hole 32, facilitating user-friendly and labor-saving operation.

[0128] For example, referring to Figures 12 and 25, the first bracket body 11 is formed into a plate-like structure, and the lower end of the first bracket body 11 is bent to form an opening 111, allowing the mating shaft 12 to pass through the opening 111 to establish a connection relationship with the first bracket body 11; the mating shaft 12 is configured as a columnar structure, and anti-detachment portions 121 are provided at both ends along the axial direction to prevent the mating shaft 12 from detaching from the first bracket body 11 along the axial direction. Optionally, the first bracket 1 can accommodate the mating shaft 12 in the mating hole 32 of the mounting plate 3 in the vertical direction or the left-right direction.

[0129] 26 and 28 , according to some optional embodiments of the present application, the lower end of the mounting plate 3 is bent upward to form a mating hole 32, so that the forming process of the mating hole 32 is simple, and it is convenient for the mating shaft 12 of the first bracket 1 to be accommodated in the mating hole 32 from top to bottom. The installation operation is simple and saves time and effort. After the installation operation is completed, due to the gravity of the suspended electrical appliance 200 itself, the supporting effect of the bottom wall of the mating hole 32 can ensure the stable connection between the first bracket 1 and the mounting plate 3.

[0130] 14 and 26 , according to some embodiments of the present application, mounting plate 3 has mounting holes 33 for securing mounting plate 3 to mounting base 300. Multiple mounting holes 33 are provided, with some holes 33 located adjacent to the connection between first bracket 1 and mounting plate 3, and others located adjacent to the connection between second bracket 2 and mounting plate 3. This further enhances the stability and reliability of the connection between mounting plate 3 and mounting base 300, and reduces the risk of deformation and cracking of mounting plate 3 due to the weight of suspended appliance 200.

[0131] For example, referring to Figure 26, the mounting plate 3 is provided with multiple groups of mounting holes 33 spaced apart in the up and down directions, and each group of mounting holes 33 includes multiple mounting holes 33 spaced apart along the left and right directions; wherein, one or more groups of mounting holes 33 are adjacent to the connection position between the first bracket 1 and the mounting plate 3, and another group or more groups of mounting holes 33 are adjacent to the connection position between the second bracket 2 and the mounting plate 3, and fasteners can be passed through the mounting holes 33 to fix the mounting plate 3 to the mounting base 300.

[0132] 5-8 , according to some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple (for example, two) mounting structures 100, and the multiple mounting structures 100 are spaced apart along the left-right direction. The suspended electrical appliance 200 is installed to the mounting base 300 through the multiple mounting structures 100, which can better ensure the installation stability of the suspended electrical appliance 200.

[0133] Optionally, the mounting structure 100 may further include a bottom support frame, which is suitable for being fixed to the mounting base 300, and the bottom support frame is located below the hanging appliance 200 to support the hanging appliance 200. The bottom support frame can further improve the stability of the installation relationship between the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting base 300, and at the same time reduce the strength requirements of the mounting structure 100 for the second bracket 2 and the mounting plate 3.

[0134] For example, in some optional embodiments of the present application, a limiting protrusion is formed on the top of the bottom support frame, and a limiting groove is formed on the bottom of the hanging appliance 200. The limiting protrusion is adapted to be inserted upward into the limiting groove, thereby ensuring that the hanging appliance 200 and the bottom support frame cooperate stably and are stably supported on the bottom support frame. The bottom support frame also includes a supporting surface and a mounting surface. The supporting surface provides upward support for the hanging appliance 200, thereby improving the installation stability of the hanging appliance 200. The mounting surface is provided with a plurality of fixing holes. Fasteners are inserted through the fixing holes, the back panel 302 of the cabinet, and the wall to securely fix the bottom support frame to the mounting base 300.

[0135] The embodiment of the present application provides another mounting structure, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, the mounting structure 100 includes a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a mounting plate 3, a locking mechanism 4, and an unlocking member 5. The first bracket 1 and the mounting plate 3 are used to fix the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting base 300 (refer to Figure 43), that is, the first bracket 1 can be detachably connected to the hanging appliance 200, and the first bracket 1 can also be detachably connected to the mounting base 300 to achieve the fixation of the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting base 300. When the hanging appliance 200 is fixed to the mounting plate 3, the locking mechanism 4 cooperates with the second bracket 2 to lock the hanging appliance 200. It should be noted that the locking mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the present application can be connected to the mounting plate 3, or the locking mechanism 4 can be connected to the second bracket 2, or the locking mechanism 4 can be divided into multiple parts, so that the locking mechanism 4 can be connected to the mounting plate 3 and the second bracket 2 at the same time. That is to say, in addition to fixing the suspended appliance 200 and the mounting plate 3 through the first bracket 1, the mounting structure in the embodiment of the present application also limits the relative position relationship between the suspended appliance 200 and the first bracket 1 or the mounting plate 3 through the cooperation of the locking mechanism 4 and the second bracket 2, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the cooking appliance and the mounting base, and helping to reduce the difficulty of installation.

[0136] As shown in Figures 34 and 35 , the unlocking member 5 is connected to the locking mechanism 4. The unlocking member 5 is used to drive the locking mechanism 4 to move relative to the hanging appliance 200 to release the lock between the locking mechanism 4 and the hanging appliance 200. Specifically, when the cooking appliance is installed, the locking mechanism 4 locks the hanging appliance 200, maintaining a fixed relative position between the hanging appliance 200 and the mounting base 300. When the hanging appliance 200 needs to be removed from the mounting base 300, the unlocking member 5 is used to drive the locking mechanism 4 to move relative to the hanging appliance 200 to release the lock on the hanging appliance 200. This reduces interference with the hanging appliance during removal, thereby simplifying the removal process and minimizing damage to the locking mechanism 4, facilitating reuse of the mounting structure.

[0137] The embodiment of the present application provides a mounting structure, which includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a mounting plate, a locking mechanism, and an unlocking member. When the hanging appliance is fixed to the mounting plate, the locking mechanism locks the hanging appliance, and the unlocking member is connected to the locking mechanism and is used to drive the locking mechanism to move relative to the hanging appliance to release the lock between the locking mechanism and the hanging appliance. The embodiment of the present application, by providing a locking mechanism, is conducive to further enhancing the stability of the connection between the hanging appliance and the mounting base, and the unlocking member can release the lock between the locking mechanism and the hanging appliance during the disassembly process, thereby reducing the interference of the locking mechanism with the hanging appliance during the disassembly process, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the hanging appliance and reducing the degree of damage to the locking mechanism during the disassembly process of the hanging appliance, which is conducive to the reuse of the mounting structure and thus improves the user experience.

[0138] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the arrangement of the limiting mechanism and the unlocking member, as long as the unlocking member can release the locking of the hanging electrical appliance by the limiting mechanism.

[0139] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 36, 38, and 39, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking block 41. Referring to Figures 45-47, the second bracket 2 is arranged on the back of the hanging appliance. The unlocking member 5 is connected to the locking mechanism 4, and the unlocking member 5 can drive the locking block 41 to move relative to the second bracket 2. When the locking mechanism 4 locks the hanging appliance 200, the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 are limited. When the locking mechanism 4 and the hanging appliance 200 are unlocked, the unlocking member 5 drives the locking block 41 to disengage from the limit on the second bracket 2. In other words, the unlocking member 5 in the embodiment of the present application changes the relative positional relationship between the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41. In the locked state, the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 remain limited to achieve fixation; when the lock is unlocked, the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 are released from the limit under the action of the unlocking member 5, thereby achieving separation. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific limiting form of the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41. The limiting form includes but is not limited to circumferential limiting or limiting in a certain linear direction, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the setting form of the unlocking member 5. As long as the unlocking member 5 is acted upon by an external force, the unlocking member 5 can drive the second bracket 2 to move relative to the locking block 41 to release the lock.

[0140] The embodiment of the present application provides an unlocking piece, which can not only ensure the stability of the limiting state of the second bracket and the locking block, but also facilitate the switching of the relative position relationship between the second bracket and the locking block during the disassembly process, thereby reducing the difficulty of unlocking and eliminating the need for violent disassembly of the second bracket and the locking block, reducing structural damage to the limiting mechanism, and facilitating reuse.

[0141] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 38 and 39, the locking mechanism 4 can at least partially move relative to the second bracket 2 in a first direction (the up-down direction shown in Figure 38). When the hanging appliance 200 is installed on the mounting plate 3, the first direction is the height direction of the hanging appliance 200 (refer to the up-down direction shown in Figure 34). It should be noted that in other embodiments, the direction of relative movement of the locking mechanism 4 can also be a direction perpendicular to the first direction, or other curved directions, etc. The movement direction of the locking block 41 in this application includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Among them, the example of the locking mechanism 4 at least partially moving relative to the first bracket 1 in the first direction is used for explanation:

[0142] By setting the movement direction of the locking mechanism in the first direction, which is the height direction of the suspended appliance in the installed state, that is, in the process of unlocking, the unlocking member 5 is pulled by the external force to pull the locking mechanism 4, driving the locking block 41 to move together, thereby changing the position of the locking block 41. Therefore, the external force on the unlocking member 5 needs to be set along at least the first direction to change the movement state of the locking block 41. The external force also needs to be in at least the first direction. In the installed state, the first direction is consistent with the direction of gravity. Compared with applying external force in other directions, the first direction is more conducive to the user applying external force, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.

[0143] [Corrected 29.08.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG39 , the support 42 is provided with a guide hole 422 extending therethrough in a first direction (the vertical direction shown in FIG39 ); the locking block body 411 includes a guide post 43, an abutment 2212, and a locking protrusion 412. The guide post 43 is movably inserted into the guide hole 422, and the elastic return member 45 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 43, and the elastic return member 45 abuts against one side of the support 42 in the first direction; the abutment 2212 connects to one end of the guide post 43 and is disposed on a side of the support 42 in the first direction away from the elastic return member 45; the first end face 224 of the locking protrusion 412 is fixed to the other end of the guide post 43. The abutment 2212 can be configured as a nut, with an external thread provided on the end of the guide post 43 away from the locking protrusion 412, and the nut is fixed to the external thread. This facilitates assembly and disassembly, facilitating individual processing, manufacturing, and packaging.

[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 35, a plurality of mounting plates 3 are provided, and the plurality of mounting plates 3 are spaced apart in the second direction (all directions described in Figure 35), and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In the normal state of completed assembly, the second direction can be understood as the horizontal direction, and the first direction can be understood as the vertical direction. By providing a plurality of mounting plates 3, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the installation. It should be noted that the number of mounting plates 3 provided in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to two, three, four, five, etc., and the number of the first bracket provided can be set according to the size of the installed hanging electrical appliance. Among them, there are two mounting plates 3 in the embodiment shown in Figure 35.

[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG35 , each mounting plate 3 is provided with a corresponding second bracket 2, each second bracket 2 is provided with a corresponding locking mechanism 4, and the same unlocking member 5 is connected to multiple locking mechanisms 4. Providing multiple locking mechanisms 4 helps improve the stability of the suspended appliance installation, and connecting multiple locking mechanisms 4 to the same unlocking member 5 helps improve user convenience. The user only needs to apply a force on the unlocking member to simultaneously unlock multiple locking mechanisms 4, making operation convenient and quick, and reducing the difficulty of user disassembly.

[0146] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG35 , the mounting structure further includes a fixing plate 7, the fixing plate 7 being fixed to the plurality of first brackets 1, the fixing plate 7 being provided with a through positioning hole 71, and the fixing plate 7 being fixed to the keel position of the mounting surface via the positioning hole 71. It should be noted that the positioning hole 71 in the embodiment of the present application plays a role of positioning and fixing. Specifically, the keel refers to a skeleton that plays a supporting role in the building wall. By providing the positioning hole 71 on the fixing plate 7, the positioning hole 71 can be used to accurately locate the position where the keel is set, which is conducive to positioning the mounting plate near the keel position, and utilizing the support of the keel position to improve the stability of the mounting plate installation, thereby improving the stability of the fixing of the suspended electrical appliance.

[0147] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG35 , the unlocking member 5 is configured as a steel wire rope. In the embodiment of the present application, the unlocking member is configured as a steel wire rope, which can withstand a certain load and has a certain corrosion and rust resistance, thereby improving the quality of the installation structure.

[0148] 5-9 , the suspended electrical appliance assembly 1000 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present application includes: a suspended electrical appliance 200 and a mounting structure 100, wherein the mounting structure 100 is the mounting structure 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present application, and the suspended electrical appliance 200 is suitable for being mounted on the mounting base 300 through the mounting structure 100.

[0149] According to some embodiments of the present application of the above-mentioned hanging appliance 200, the hanging appliance 200 is a microwave oven or an electric oven. For example, the microwave oven can be a conventional microwave oven, or it can be an OTR (Over the Range Microwave Oven, located above the stove) microwave oven. The OTR microwave oven has both oil fume extraction and microwave heating functions. The OTR microwave oven is usually hung above the stove and can extract oil fume and water vapor generated by the stove during the heating process (that is, perform ventilation function) to prevent oil fume from polluting the human body and the indoor environment.

[0150] According to the suspended electrical appliance assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the above-mentioned mounting structure 100, the first bracket 1 provided on the suspended electrical appliance 200 forms a rotational connection relationship with the mounting plate 3. During the installation process of the suspended electrical appliance 200, the first bracket 1 can be used to receive the auxiliary force from the mounting plate 3, and the suspended electrical appliance 200 can be flipped around the rotation axis of the first bracket 1 to achieve labor-saving installation; after the suspended electrical appliance 200 is flipped into place, the locking block 41 moves between the first position and the second position, so that the second bracket 2 and the locking block 41 can be engaged and form a stable connection relationship, so that the suspended electrical appliance 200 can be installed on the mounting base 300. The entire installation process is more time-saving and labor-saving, and can be installed by one person, and the use of installation tools can be reduced. In addition, the suspended electrical appliance 200 has strong installation stability and reliability.

[0151] According to the installation method of the suspended appliance 200 of the third embodiment of the present application, the suspended appliance 200 is installed on the installation base 300 through the installation structure 100 according to the above-mentioned first embodiment of the present application. The installation method includes: confirming that the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected to the suspended appliance 200; fixing the mounting plate 3 to the mounting base 300; rotating the first bracket 1 and the mounting plate 3; flipping the suspended appliance 200 upward until the locking block 41 moves to engage with the second bracket 2, so as to install the suspended appliance 200 on the mounting plate 3.

[0152] For example, according to the above-mentioned installation method of the hanging appliance 200, the installation process of the hanging appliance 200 is as follows: first, confirm whether the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected to the hanging appliance 200. If the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are pre-installed on the hanging appliance 200, the operation of installing the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 on the hanging appliance 200 is omitted on site. If the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are not installed on the hanging appliance 200, first install the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 on the hanging appliance 200, for example, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be installed and fixed to the hanging appliance 200 by fasteners; secondly, install the mounting plate 3 It is fixed to the mounting base 300. For example, the mounting plate 3 can be fixed to the mounting base 300 by fasteners. Then, the hanging appliance 200 is moved so that the back side of the hanging appliance 200 faces upward, and the first bracket 1 set on the hanging appliance 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 3. Finally, the hanging appliance 200 is flipped upward so that the second bracket 2 contacts the locking block 41 and drives the locking block 41 to move from the first position to the second position, and the locking block 41 avoids the second bracket 2. The hanging appliance 200 continues to flip, and the locking block 41 moves from the second position to the first position.
