Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a cabinet corner plate structure that can prevent users from being injured by impacts and maintains overall consistency in construction and appearance. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Note that storage cabinets are the most important storage structure in furniture. Whether in the living room, bedroom, kitchen, or even bathroom, there are storage cabinet styles suitable for each space. Most of the storage cabinets commonly found on the market use right angles as corners for their frame structure. This makes them easier to manufacture and assemble. You only need to attach the two panels perpendicularly and lock them in place.

[0003] In pursuit of both practicality and aesthetics, cabinet styles with rounded corners have been developed. Rounded corners are not only beautiful but also safe. The sharp right angles that are easy to scratch or bump are ground away and replaced with smooth and warm rounded corner designs. However, the conventional rounded corner is made by stacking multiple boards and grinding the right angles of the multiple boards into arcs. A complete rounded corner is formed by multiple arcs. This kind of structure is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires the skills of the construction workers.

[0004] Therefore, although some manufacturers have been committed to solving the above problems, other problems have arisen, such as the lack of any color on the surface, which greatly reduces the visual appeal of the interior and lacks overall consistency, and there are still inconveniences in terms of construction.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and shortcomings is the direction that the applicant of this invention and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study and improve. [Summary of the Invention]

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a design that, through the design of the first graphic section, makes the overall appearance more consistent and aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the curved surface design reduces the risk of injury if the user accidentally hits their head on the outer curved wall, thus providing better protection. Additionally, the mounting section design allows for quick and easy integration with a baffle to close the accommodating space, saving time and effort. Moreover, the design of the first and second fixing sections allows for convenient and quick assembly and disassembly with the first and second wall panels on-site.

[0007] The structure of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned main objective includes a first long side portion, an arc-shaped curved portion, an inner curved wall portion, an outer curved wall portion, a second long side portion, a mounting portion, at least one first fixing portion, at least one second fixing portion, and a first graphic portion. The arc-shaped curved portion extends from the long side of the first long side portion. The arc-shaped curved portion has an inner curved wall portion and an outer curved wall portion. The inner curved wall portion is located on a side of the arc-shaped curved portion opposite to the first long side portion. The other side of the arc-shaped curved portion has... It has an outer curved wall portion. In addition, the total area of ​​the inner curved wall portion is smaller than the total area of ​​the outer curved wall portion. The length of the long side of the inner curved wall portion and the outer curved wall portion is the same as the length of the long side of the first long side portion. Furthermore, the second long side portion is formed on the side of the arc-shaped curved surface away from the first long side portion. The mounting portion is provided on the inner curved wall portion. The first fixing portion is provided on the first long side portion for a first wall panel to be attached. The second fixing portion is provided on the second long side portion for a second wall panel to be attached. Finally, the first graphic portion is provided on the outer curved wall portion.

[0008] When assembling the cabinet corner plate, the first fixing part on the first long side can be combined with the first wall panel first, and then the second fixing part on the second long side can be combined with the second wall panel. Then, a baffle can be combined with the mounting part to complete the assembly of the cabinet. Of course, the first graphic part can be set before or after on-site installation. In this way, the cabinet completes the storage space for items by means of the baffle, the first wall panel and the second wall panel. Items in the storage space can still be placed on the second wall panel and the inner curved wall, and will not be unable to be placed due to the relationship of the inner curved wall.

[0009] By means of the above-mentioned technology, the problems of conventional technology, such as the lack of any color, which greatly reduces the visual appeal of the room, lack of overall consistency, and inconvenience in construction, can be overcome, and the practical progress of the present invention can be achieved as described above.

Implementation Method

[0011] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2, which are perspective views of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention and another perspective view from the same angle. It can be clearly seen from the figures that the cabinet corner plate 1 of the present invention includes:

[0012] First long side 11;

[0013] An arc-shaped curved surface 12 is formed by extending from the long side of the first long side portion 11. The arc-shaped curved surface 12 has an inner curved wall portion 121, which is located on a side of the arc-shaped curved surface 12 that is different from the long side portion 11. On the other side of the opposite long side portion, there is an outer curved wall portion 122. The total area of ​​the inner curved wall portion 121 is smaller than the total area of ​​the outer curved wall portion 122, and the length of the long side of the inner curved wall portion 121 and the outer curved wall portion 122 is the same as the length of the long side of the first long side portion 11.

[0014] A second long side portion 13 is formed on the side of the arc-shaped curved surface portion 12 away from the first long side portion 11;

[0015] An installation part 1211 is provided on the inner curved wall part 121;

[0016] At least one first fixing part 111 is disposed on the first long side part 11 for connection with a first wall panel;

[0017] At least one second fixing part 131 is disposed on the second long side part 13 for connection with a second wall panel; and

[0018] A first graphic section 2 is provided on the outer curved wall section 122.

[0019] Wherein, the curvature of the inner curved wall portion 121 is the same as the curvature of the outer curved wall portion 122; the mounting portion 1211 in this embodiment is a groove, and the curvature of the mounting portion 1211 is the same as the curvature of the inner curved wall portion 121; the first graphic portion 2 can be at least one of texture, text, and pattern, and in this embodiment, texture is used as an example; the cabinet corner plate 1 in this embodiment is the cabinet corner plate 1 of a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet; the first fixing portion 111 and the second fixing portion 131 in this embodiment are holes for the first wall panel and the second wall panel to be joined by tenon joint, and in this embodiment, multiple first fixing portions 111 and second fixing portions 131 are used as examples.

[0020] Please also refer to Figures 3 to 7, which are schematic diagrams illustrating the assembly process of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figures, the assembly process can be carried out in the following manner:

[0021] (A) At the factory end, the first graphic part 2 is first set on the outer curved wall part 122, and the setting method can be spraying or using wood veneer material to display the first graphic part 2;

[0022] (B) After the first wall panel 3 and the first long side 11 are aligned, they approach each other so that the first fixing part 111 and the first wall panel 3 are inserted and joined together. Of course, there will be a tenon 31 on the first wall panel 3 that is connected to the first fixing part so that the two can be joined and fixed smoothly. See the third figure for reference.

[0023] (C) After the second wall panel 4 and the second long side 13 are aligned, they come close together so that the second fixing part 131 and the second wall panel 4 are inserted and joined together. Of course, there will be a tenon 41 on the second wall panel 4 that is connected to the second fixing part 131 so that the two can be joined and fixed smoothly. See Figure 4 for reference.

[0024] (D) Insert a baffle 5 into the mounting part 1211 to complete the blocking of the back of the cabinet a and form a storage space 6 for placing items. In other words, the storage space 6 is surrounded by the first wall panel 3, the cabinet corner plate 1, the second wall panel 4 and the baffle 5, as shown in Figure 5.

[0025] (E) Finally, the assembled cabinet a is attached to the wall of the kitchen to complete the wall-mounted kitchen cabinet. The items 7 in the storage space 6 can be placed on the second wall panel 4. Although the inner curved wall 121 is curved, it can still hold items 7, such as bag-shaped items 7, as shown in Figure 6.

[0026] However, step (A) can be set before or after cabinet a is assembled, and the order of steps is not limited.

[0027] In terms of use, if user b's head accidentally hits the outer curved wall 122 of the curved surface 12, the overall curved surface shape will reduce the degree of head injury. Even in the event of an accidental impact, it will not cause bleeding, effectively protecting user b from injury. In addition, due to the reduced corner design of the curved surface 12, user b has more room to move and is less likely to hit the curved surface 12. Furthermore, a door 9 can be provided for aesthetic purposes, as shown in Figure 7.

[0028] Furthermore, since the cabinet corner plate 1 of this case can be mass-produced by machines, such as plastic mold opening or 3D printing, it can achieve fully automated production. The manufacturing speed can be faster and more stable, and labor costs can be saved, increasing industrial competitiveness. Also, since machine manufacturing is used, it can be ensured that the thickness, angle, length, width and height of each cabinet corner plate 1 are uniform and there will be no great differences. In addition, the installation part 1211, the first fixing part 111 and the second fixing part 131 can be set in a more precise position, and the tolerance can be reduced to a very small size. Workers can quickly install it without repeated docking during construction.

[0029] Furthermore, with the cabinet corner plate 1 in place, the volume of cabinet a can be slightly reduced, allowing it to be installed even in kitchens with relatively cramped indoor spaces. This makes it extremely versatile, and the space saved can be used to install other items, such as hooks.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a schematic diagram of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the first fixing part 111 and the second fixing part 131 in this embodiment are grooves for the first wall panel 3 and the second wall panel 4 to be joined by fitting. Of course, the first wall panel 3 and the second wall panel 4 have protrusions 32 and 42 that can be fitted and fixed with the first fixing part 111 and the second fixing part 131. During the connection process, an adhesive can be provided to enhance the fixing effect. The fitting method can have a faster joining speed and a more stable joining.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a schematic diagram of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, the difference between this embodiment and the first preferred embodiment is that, in addition to the first graphic part provided on the outer curved wall portion 122, this embodiment also provides a second graphic part 8 on the first long side portion 11, the inner curved wall portion 121, the second long side portion 13, and the short side of the arc-shaped curved portion 12. The second graphic part 8 can be at least one of texture, text, and pattern. This embodiment takes texture as an example, so that the entire cabinet corner plate 1 has texture and color, making the inside and outside of the cabinet consistent and more visually comfortable.
