[0044] In the claims, description and drawings of the present invention, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 A preferred embodiment of a mirror cabinet structure comprises a mirror cabinet body 10, a lens 20, a tilt transmission assembly and a storage cabinet body 30.

[0046] The mirror cabinet body 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 with a side opening. Figure 1 As shown, the mirror cabinet body 10 is square, and an opening is provided on its left side. The mirror cabinet body 10 can also be designed into other shapes as required, and is not limited thereto.

[0047] The lens 20 is hingedly connected to the front side of the mirror cabinet body 10. In the actual manufacturing process, the lens 20 may include a lens body 21 and a door panel 22, and the door panel 22 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the lens body 21 to protect and support the lens. The bottom end of the lens 20 is hingedly connected to the bottom end of the mirror cabinet body 10 through a hinge 23, and the lens 20 can rotate around the hinge 23 axis from the top to the front side, so that the lens 20 presents a tilted state with the top deviating from the mirror cabinet body 10. Alternatively, the size of the lens 20 is not exactly the same as the size of the front side of the mirror cabinet body 10, and the size of the lens 20 can be only one-half or one-third of the size of the front side of the mirror cabinet body 10, and the lens 20 can also present a tilted state with the left or right side deviating from the mirror cabinet body 10, but it is not limited thereto.

[0048] The tilt transmission assembly is installed on the mirror cabinet body 10 and is transmission-connected to the lens 20. The tilt transmission assembly can drive the lens 20 to rotate around the central axis of the hinged connection between the lens 20 and the mirror cabinet body 10 so that the lens 20 can rotate between an inclined position arranged obliquely relative to the front side of the mirror cabinet body 10 and a forward position arranged parallel to the front side of the mirror cabinet body 10.

[0049] The tilt transmission assembly includes a first switch 40, a first motor 50, a driving wheel 51 and a pull rope 52. The first switch 40 and the first motor 50 are both installed on the mirror cabinet body 10 and the two are signal-connected. The driving wheel 51 is transmission-connected to the first motor 50. One end of the pull rope 52 is wound around the driving wheel 51 and the other end of the pull rope 52 is connected to the lens 20. Triggering the first switch 40 can make the first motor 50 rotate forward or reverse, thereby driving the pull rope 52 to tighten or release the lens 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, the tilt transmission assembly further includes a steering pulley 53 , which is mounted on the mirror cabinet body 10 . The other end of the pull rope 52 passes around the steering pulley 53 and then is connected to the lens 20 .

[0051] The specific transmission structure of the tilt transmission assembly is:

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the first motor 50 is installed at the top of the mirror cabinet body 10, and the driving wheel 51 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 50. The driving wheel 51 is located at the rear side of the first motor 50. Two pull ropes 52 are provided. One ends of the two pull ropes 52 are both wrapped around the outer periphery of the driving wheel 51, and the other ends of the two pull ropes 52 extend toward the left and right sides of the mirror cabinet body 10 respectively.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two steering pulleys 53 and they are respectively located on the left and right sides of the top of the mirror cabinet body 10. The other ends of the two pull ropes 52 pass around the two steering pulleys 53 and extend toward the direction of the lens 20 respectively, and are fixed to the top of the rear side of the door panel 22 through a locking plate 24 respectively.

[0054] When the first motor 50 rotates forward, the two pull cords 52 are released, and the lens 20 moves from the forward position to the inclined position; when the second motor 50 rotates reversely, the two pull cords 52 are tightened, and the lens 20 moves from the inclined position to the forward position.

[0055] Alternatively, the steering pulley 53 may not be provided, and the positions of the first motor 50 and the driving wheel 51 need only be adjusted so that the other end of the pull rope 52 extends directly toward the direction of the lens 20 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the first switch 40 is a push-type switch, which includes a switch seat 41 and a pressing rod 42. The switch seat 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the mirror cabinet body 10 and is provided with a sliding cavity 43. A sensor 44 connected to the signal of the first motor 50 is provided at the end of the sliding cavity 43. The pressing rod 42 can be slidably mounted in the sliding cavity 43 and its head end corresponds to the sensor 44, and its tail end always extends out of the sliding cavity 43. Pressing the pressing rod 42 can drive its head end to trigger the sensor 44.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first switch 40 further includes an elastic member 45 , two ends of which are respectively connected to the switch seat 41 and the pressing rod 42 , and when the lens 20 is in the forward position, the end of the pressing rod 42 abuts against the back of the lens 20 .

[0058] In this embodiment, a plurality of elastic claws 46 are further provided at the end of the sliding cavity 43. The elastic claws 46 are arranged in a ring-shaped manner and surround a cavity 47 with an opening. The sensor 44 is located at the center of the cavity 47. The head end of the pressing rod 42 is provided with a pressing surface 421 and a buckle 422. The pressing surface 421 can press against the elastic claw 46 to deform the elastic claw 46 and thereby enlarge its opening. The buckle 422 can be clamped in the cavity 47 or leave the cavity 47.

[0059] The specific working principle of the first switch is:

[0060] like Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 4 , it is the initial position of the pressing rod 42. At this time, the undercut 422 is engaged in the card cavity 47, and the elastic member 45 is in a pre-stretched state. By pressing the end of the pressing rod 42, the undercut 422 can trigger the sensor 44 to make the first motor 50 work, and at the same time, the pressing surface 421 can press against the elastic claw 46 to deform the elastic claw 46, so that the opening of the card cavity 47 becomes larger. In the process of releasing the pressing rod 42, the pressing rod 42 pops outward under the action of the elastic member 45, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, at this time, the pressing rod 42 is in the pop-up position; the pressing rod 42 applies a thrust to the top of the lens 20 during the process of popping outward, so that the top of the lens 20 tilts forward.

[0061] If the sensor 44 needs to be triggered again, the pressing rod 42 is pressed again, and the pressing rod 42 can move from the ejected position to the initial position and remain at the initial position.

[0062] The storage cabinet body 30 is laterally slidably mounted in the accommodating cavity 11 and slides between a first position located in the accommodating cavity 11 and a second position located outside the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0063] The storage cabinet body 30 can be slid manually, or can be slid automatically. In this embodiment, the automatic control method is used for the sliding operation, which is as follows:

[0064] The mirror cabinet structure further includes a lateral shift transmission assembly, which includes a second motor 60 , a transmission gear 61 and a rack 62 .

[0065] like Figure 5As shown, the second motor 60 is installed on the left side inside the top of the mirror cabinet body 10, the transmission gear 61 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 60, and the rack 62 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage cabinet body 30 and meshes with the transmission gear 61.

[0066] In this embodiment, the lateral shift transmission assembly further includes a slide rail 63 and a slider 64. The slide rail 63 is fixedly connected to the accommodating cavity 11, and the slider 64 is fixedly connected to the storage cabinet body 30 and slidably cooperates with the slide rail 63. Fig.11 As shown, the slide rail 63 is fixed to the rear side of the accommodating cavity 11 , and the slider 64 is fixed to the rear side of the storage cabinet body 30 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the side shift transmission assembly further includes a second switch 65, which is mounted on the lens 20 or the mirror cabinet body 30 and is signal-connected to the second motor 60. In this embodiment, the second switch 65 is a hand-sweep switch, and as required, the second switch may also be other sensor non-touch switches, or may also be mechanical touch switches, but is not limited thereto.

[0068] When the storage cabinet 30 needs to be used, the second switch 65 is triggered to make the second motor 60 rotate forward, and the transmission gear 61 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the rack 62 to move, and the storage cabinet 30 moves from the first position to the second position;

[0069] When the storage cabinet 30 is not needed, the second switch 65 is triggered to reverse the second motor 60, and the transmission gear 61 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the rack 62 to move, and the storage cabinet 30 moves from the second position to the first position.

[0070] When the lens 20 is in a tilted position, it is convenient for children, elderly people with limited mobility and disabled people to use the mirror; and the mirror cabinet structure also includes a storage cabinet body 30, which also has a storage function. The use of the storage cabinet body 30 is not affected during the angle adjustment of the lens 20, and the functions are more complete.

[0071] Please refer to Fig.14 , is another embodiment of the mirror cabinet structure.

[0072] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the first switch 40 is arranged on the side of the mirror cabinet body 10. If necessary, the first switch 40 can also be arranged on the bottom of the mirror cabinet body 10. The first switch 40 can be a switch in any form, such as a mechanical touch switch or a sensor non-touch switch, but is not limited thereto.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
