As shown in
In one embodiment, the second frame 12 is formed by cutting and bending a metal plate, and the notches 123 formed by cutting and bending exist at corners of the second frame 12. When the first frame 11 fits the second frame 12, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are spaced apart, and a width of the flange 121 is larger than or equal to a distance between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. Moreover, the flanges 121 shield the outer side of the edges of the first frame 11. The shielding members 13 fit the flanges 121 to close the notches 123 on the flanges 121, and preventing the notches 123 from scratching the user. In addition, there is no need to perform grinding and welding operations when the shielding members 13 close the notches 123 of the flanges 121, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the door assembly 10, so that the manufacturing efficiency of the door assembly 10 is improved, and the manufacturing cost of the door assembly 10 is reduced.
It should be pointed out that the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are both rectangular structures, and the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are assembled with each other to form a door structure, which is pivotally connected to a cabinet 20 of a cooking device 100 through connectors. The door structure is opened or closed so that a cooking cavity of the cabinet 20 is opened or closed. In the present application, both corners at the top of the second frame 12 (i.e., a side of the second frame 12 away from a surface on which the cooking device 100 is placed) have the notch 123, and the shielding member 13 is provided at each of the positions of the two notches 123, and effectively preventing the notches 123 from scratching the user.

It is further understood that as shown in
It should be pointed out that the shape of the first plate-shaped portion 131 coincides with the shape of the notch 123. At the same time, a size of the first plate-shaped portion 131 is larger than a size of the notch 123. When the first plate-shaped portion 131 shields the notch 123, a shielding effect of the shielding member 13 on the notch 123 can be effectively ensured. When the shielding member 13 is manufactured, an edge of the first plate-shaped portion 131 is blunted (for example being rounded, etc.), to avoid scratching the user due to the sharp edge of the first plate-shaped portion 131.
In addition, the positioning portion 133 may be provided in plural, and positioning portions 133 are arranged at intervals. The flange 121 is provided with the positioning holes 1211 having the same number as the positioning portions 133. The positioning portions 133 and the positioning holes 1211 are arranged corresponding to each other. The fit of the positioning portions 133 and the positioning holes 1211 further improves the installation accuracy of the shielding member 13 and improves the quality of the door assembly 10.
In addition, in the present application, the positioning portions 133 are positioning posts, which are provided on an end face of the first plate-shaped portion 131 that faces the flange 121. The positioning posts may be integrally formed with the first plate-shaped portion 131, or may be manufactured separately from the first plate-shaped portion 131 before assembly. The positioning posts are inserted into the positioning holes 1211 to realize the positioning and installation of the shielding member 13. The fitting structure of the positioning posts and the positioning holes 1211 is simple, which facilitates assembly and further improves the efficiency of assembly, and further reduces the manufacturing cost.

Further, as shown in
It should be pointed out that the first clamp-fit structure is provided on the end face of the first plate-shaped portion 131 that faces the flange 121, and is spaced apart from the positioning portion 133. When the shielding member 13 is assembled, the first plate-shaped portion 131 moves in a direction approaching the flange 121, the positioning portion 133 is gradually inserted into the positioning hole 1211, and the first clamp-fit structure contacts and fits the second clamp-fit structure. When the first plate-shaped structure abuts against the flange 121, the first clamp-fit structure and the second clamp-fit structure fit in place, so that the positioning and assembling of the shielding member 13 are performed simultaneously, and the assembling efficiency of the door assembly 10 is further improved.
Further, as shown in
In other embodiments, the first clamp-fit portion 134 is a first buckle, and the second clamp-fit portion 1231 is a second buckle. The fit of the first buckle and the second buckle realizes the installation and fixing of the shielding member 13, and the buckle structure has a high fixing strength, which effectively ensures the stability of the assembly of the shielding members 13.

Further, as shown in
It should be noted that an included angle between the folded edge 122 and the flange 121 is a right angle, and an included angle between the second plate-shaped portion 132 and the first plate-shaped portion 131 is also a right angle. The shape of the second plate-shaped portion 132 is consistent with the shape of the notch 123, and the size of the second plate-shaped portion 132 is larger than the size of the notch 123 on the folded edge 122, so that the first plate-shaped portion 131 and the second plate-shaped portion 132 can effectively close the notch 123. In addition, when the shielding member 13 is manufactured, the edge of the second plate-shaped portion 132 is blunted (for example being rounded, etc.), to avoid scratching the user due to the sharp edge of the second plate-shaped portion 132.
Further, the door assembly 10 further includes fasteners (not shown), the folded edges 122 are provided with first holes 1221, and the second plate-shaped portion 132 is provided with second holes 1321. The second holes 1321 and the first holes 1221 are arranged corresponding to each other, and the fasteners pass through the second holes 1321 to fit the first holes 1221 so that the shielding member 13 is fixed.

In one embodiment, the notch 123 is located at the corner of the second frame 12, and the alloy member (such as zinc alloy or aluminum alloy, etc.) has a high strength, which effectively ensures the overall strength of the second frame 12. At the same time, the alloy member has high-temperature resistant performance. Therefore, the influence of the high temperature of the cooking device 100 on the shielding member 13 (for example, deformation, etc.) is avoided, and the shielding effect of the shielding member 13 on the notch 123 is ensured.
In other embodiments, the shielding member 13 is a ceramic member, which has poor thermal conductivity, and effectively avoiding the adverse effect of high temperature on the shielding member 13 and ensuring the shielding effect of the shielding member 13 on the notch 123.
