DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a kitchen storage cabinet with a lifting device, comprising a cabinet body 1 with a top opening in a well shape, a foot 2 installed on the bottom surface of the cabinet body 1 for supporting the cabinet body 1, and a lifting device 3 installed in the cabinet body 1, wherein the lifting device 3 comprises a lifting column 31 and a lifting button 33, and the lifting device 3 comprises a lifting column 31, and the lifting column 31 comprises a fixed section and a lifting section, wherein the fixed section is fixed on one side surface inside the cabinet body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the lifting button 33 is arranged on the outer edge strip of the top opening of the cabinet 1. By pressing and holding the lifting button 33, the lifting column 31 can be driven to move upward or downward and move to the final stop position. By releasing the lifting button 33, the drive stops. The power supply of the lifting column 31 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the cabinet 1.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a tray support frame 5 is fixed on the lifting section of the lifting column 31, and a tray 4 is buckled on the top of the tray support frame 5. The tray 4 is in the shape of an empty box without a bottom surface and its size is smaller than the size of the opening on the top side of the cabinet 1. The lifting column 31 drives the tray support frame 5 and the tray 4 to move up and down through the telescopic function, so that the position of the tray 4 during the movement process can be inside the cabinet 1 and above the opening on the top side of the cabinet 1.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the tray 4 includes an upper tray 41 and a lower tray 42. The upper tray 41 is shaped to fit the top opening of the cabinet 1. The tray support frame 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting column 31. The upper tray 41 is snapped on the tray support frame 5. The lower tray 42 is in a "concave" shape and is designed with a groove 421 to just embed the lifting column 31 in the groove. The tray support frame 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lifting end of the lifting column 31, and the lower tray 42 is snapped on the tray support frame 5. Further, the positions of each tray are set. Figure 1 ~3 shows the state of the locker when the lifting column 31 is at the highest position. Figure 7 The display shows the state of the locker when the lifting column 31 is at the lowest position. When the lifting column 31 is lowered to the lowest position, the upper tray 41 and the lower tray 42 are both located inside the cabinet 1, the upper tray 41 is just flush with the top opening of the cabinet 1, and the lower tray 42 is located at the bottom of the cabinet and above the power supply of the lifting column 31; when the lifting column 31 rises to the highest position, the upper tray 41 is located above the top opening of the cabinet 1, and the lower tray 42 is just flush with the top opening of the cabinet 1. In this way, when the lifting column 31 is at the lowest position, the upper tray 41 can just cover the top opening of the locker and can be used as a table top, and the lower tray 42 can be used to store items inside the locker; when the lifting column 31 is at the highest position, the lower tray 42 can just cover the top opening of the locker, which can block the power supply inside the cabinet and fully present the items placed on the tray to the user. Further, a plurality of trays 4 and tray support frames 5 are selectively added between the upper tray 41 and the lower tray 42 , such as adding an intermediate tray 43 and its tray support frame.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the tray support frame 5 includes a support frame 51 and adjustment blocks 52 installed on the four corners of the support frame 51. A V-shaped support beam is designed on a pair of sides of the support frame 51. The narrower end of the V-shaped support beam is fixed to the lifting column with screws to reinforce the support frame 51. Further, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a strip LED light 8 is installed on the wider end of the V-shaped support beam and one side of the support frame 51 to illuminate the position below the tray support frame 5. Figure 4 As shown, a thin cavity is provided on the V-shaped support beam for passing the wires of the LED lamp 8 and connecting to the power wire in the lifting column 31 .

[0036] In order to adjust the gap between the tray 4 and the inner side of the cabinet 1, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment block 52 is provided with a sliding groove 523 parallel to a right angle side of the support frame 51 and is clamped on the right angle side, and has a limiting end 524 protruding on the other side of the right angle and resting on the right angle side. The adjustment block 52 is buckled on the right angle of the support frame 51 through the sliding groove 523 and the limiting end 524, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in the bottom side of the adjustment block, a gap adjustment knob 521 is installed below the limit end 524 of the adjustment block 52 along the protruding direction of the limit end 524. The screw of the gap adjustment knob 521 is screwed to the adjustment block 52 and one side of the support frame 51 at the same time. By rotating the gap adjustment knob 521, the protruding length of the limit end 524 relative to the side of the support frame 51 where it is located can be adjusted, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the gap adjustment knobs 521 on the four adjustment blocks 52 respectively adjust the protruding distances of the respective limit ends 524 relative to the four sides of the support frame 51, and the protruding parts of the limit ends 524 push the four inner sides of the tray 4 to limit the position of the tray 4, thereby realizing the fine adjustment function of the gap distance between the tray 4 and the four sides of the cabinet 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, arrows indicate that four adjustment blocks 52 correspond to adjustments in four different directions. In this way, a larger error tolerance is given to the position of the installation lifting column and the fixed position of the tray support frame and the tray during the actual installation process.

[0037] In order to realize the leveling function of the tray 4 itself, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a height adjustment knob 522 is installed above each of the four adjustment blocks 52. The screw of the height adjustment knob 522 is perpendicular to the plane direction of the tray 4 and is screwed onto the adjustment block 52. The height of the four height adjustment knobs 522 relative to the adjustment block 52 is adjusted by rotation to adjust the height of the four corners of the tray 4 supported by the height adjustment knob 522, thereby realizing the leveling function of the tray 4 itself, so that the inclination of the tray 4 itself can be adjusted in combination with the installation situation during actual installation, so that the tray 4 can better fit the horizontal fit of the top opening of the cabinet or better meet the requirements of stable loading of items.

[0038] In order to realize the height adjustment function of the storage cabinet itself, a foot 2 with height adjustment function is installed. The foot 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the cabinet body 1 to support the cabinet body 1. The foot 2 includes an outer tube 21 and an inner screw 22. The inner thread of the outer tube 21 corresponds to the outer thread of the inner screw 22. The length of the foot 2 can be adjusted by relative rotation of the two, so that the overall height of the cabinet body 1 can be adjusted. In this way, the height of the kitchen counter or the center island can be more closely matched in the actual kitchen layout.

[0039] In summary, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a kitchen storage cabinet with a lifting device, which avoids the user from bending over and reaching into the cabinet when taking or placing items, making it more convenient and quick to place and find items and providing a better field of vision.
