The skirt provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes the skirt frame and the multiple fixing portions, the skirt frame and the multiple fixing portions are designed into the integrated structure, so that the skirt can be integrally formed, in this way, the structure of the skirt is significantly simplified, assembly and connection processes between multiple components of the skirt are avoided, and many fixing parts are omitted, accordingly the production efficiency of the skirt is improved, and production and manufacturing costs are reduced, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the cooking appliance, improving the assembly efficiency and greatly improving the market competitiveness of the skirt product. Specifically, the existing skirt is formed by connecting multiple components, such that the structure is complex and the assembly efficiency is low, which seriously affect the production efficiency and the manufacturing cost of the skirt. The skirt frame and the fixing portions of the skirt provided by the invention are of the integrated structure, so that the skirt can be integrally formed, in this way, the structure of the skirt is significantly simplified, the assembly process of assembling the skirt by connecting multiple components is avoided, and many fixing parts in the prior art are omitted, accordingly the production efficiency of the skirt is greatly improved, and production and manufacturing costs are effectively reduced, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the cooking appliance, improving the assembly efficiency and greatly improving the market competitiveness of the product. In addition, the integrated structure of the skirt effectively guarantees the strength of the skirt, reduces the breakage probability of the skirt and improves the use reliability of the product.

In addition, the skirt in the above embodiment provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

In the above technical solution, multiple blind slots are formed in the skirt frame, the openings of the blind slots are upward, the multiple through holes are respectively formed in the bottom plate of the multiple blind slots, and the multiple fixing portions are respectively disposed in the multiple blind slots.

As the blind slots are formed and the fixing portions are disposed in the multiple blind slots, the lengths of the first connection holes and the through holes are smaller than the thickness of the skirt frame, which effectively reduces the lengths of the through holes and the first connection holes, thereby improving the installation rate of the stove legs and improving the assembly efficiency of the cooking appliance.

In addition, specifically, the skirt is rectangular, and the blind slots are square and are respectively located on the four comers of the rectangular skirt. Of course, the blind slots can also be set to have other shapes, for example, circle, or disposed at other positions, which are not listed herein one by one and should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In any one of the above technical solutions, the fixing portions are formed by helically extending upward from the hole walls of the through holes; and external threads are disposed on the stove legs, and the fixing portions are screwed with the stove legs.

The fixing portions are formed by extending upward from the hole walls of the through holes and are helical, that is, the fixing portions and the through holes form a helical passage, which is matched with the external threads on the stove legs, in this way, the stove legs can be conveniently screwed in and screwed out and can be fixed at any position, then the heights of the stove legs located at the outside of the skirt can be adjusted by adjusting the depths of the stove legs screwed in the fixing portions, thereby being convenient and fast.

In any one of the above technical solutions, the skirt frame further includes supporting plates, the supporting plates are fixed in the blind slots, and the stove legs abut against the supporting plates. The disposed supporting plates can support and fix the stove legs so as to avoid the situation that the stove legs incline when the cooking appliance is pushed and pulled. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the supporting plates are V-shaped and are fixedly connected with the bottom walls and the side walls of the blind slots.

The groove is formed between two adjacent blind slots, namely, the skirt frame is set as a hollow frame body, so the mass of the skirt can be effectively reduced, the skirt becomes lighter, and the raw material is saved. Preferably, the groove is a blind slot with a downward opening and shares the side wall with the two adjacent blind slots so as to reduce the mass of the skirt as much as possible and guarantee the strength of the skirt. Of course, it is also possible that no groove is formed in the skirt frame, namely, the skirt frame is set as a solid frame body, and such skirt frame has higher strength.

In any one of the above technical solutions, further, multiple reinforcing ribs are disposed in the groove.

Due to the arrangement of the reinforcing ribs, the strength of the hollow skirt is effectively improved, and the breakage or deformation probability of the skirt is reduced, thereby improving the use reliability of the skirt. Specifically, the thicknesses and heights of the reinforcing ribs can be set according to specific conditions.

In any one of the above technical solutions, the multiple reinforcing ribs are staggered longitudinally and horizontally.

As the multiple reinforcing ribs are staggered longitudinally and horizontally, the inner wall and the outer wall of the skirt are effectively supported, thereby further reducing the breakage or deformation probability of the skirt and further improving the use reliability of the skirt.

Preferably, the heights of the reinforcing ribs on the two ends of the groove, namely the reinforcing ribs close to the blind slots, are relatively greater to improve the supported strength of the skirt, and the heights of the reinforcing ribs in the middle of the groove are relatively low so as to save the raw material and reduce the cost.

In any one of the above technical solutions, the skirt frame further includes a locating block, and the locating block is arranged on the upper surface of the skirt frame and is clamped on the bottom plate.

Due to the arrangement of the locating block, an effective locating role is played in an assembly process of the skirt; during the installation, the skirt is clamped on the bottom plate at first, and then the skirt is fixed to the bottom plate, such a firstly locating and secondly fixing manner effectively reduces the assembly difficulty of the skirt and the bottom plate and accelerates the assembly efficiency of the cooking appliance.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the locating block is an L-shaped plate, which is inserted in a square opening in the middle of the bottom plate and is clamped on four comers of the square opening. Screw holes are formed in the skirt, and the skirt is fixed to the bottom plate by screws. Of course, the skirt can also be fixedly connected with the bottom plate in other manners.

In any one of the above technical solutions, the skirt is a plastic skirt.

The skirt is set as the plastic skirt, on one hand, compared with metals and other materials, the plastic has excellent buffer performance to effectively buffer the impact force of the cooking appliance during drop or vibration so as to reduce the damage to the cooking appliance as much as possible; and on the other hand, the forming process of the plastic is simple, thereby effectively reducing the preparation difficulty of integral forming of the skirt, and effectively reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the product.

The embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a cooking appliance, including: a bottom plate, wherein second connection holes are formed in the bottom plate; the skirt in any one of the above technical solutions, wherein the skirt is located below the bottom plate and is fixedly connected with the bottom plate, and the first connection holes of the skirt correspond to the second connection holes; and stove legs, wherein the stove legs penetrate through the first connection holes from bottom to top and stretch into the second connection holes, and the heights of the stove legs extending out from the skirt frame can be adjusted by adjusting the depths of the stove legs stretching into the second connection holes.
