Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage devices, and particularly to a cabinet with a cabinet component having a glass window. Background Art

[0002] Lockers are commonly used storage devices. In particular, lockers made of sheet metal are widely used in homes and offices due to their light weight and firmness, and a transparent observation window is provided on the cabinet door for facilitating the observation of items inside the cabinet. In order to enhance the strength of the cabinet door panel and support the glass, generally, an inward flanging structure is formed at the window opening on the cabinet door. However, the sheet metal flanging structure is prone to problems such as wrinkling, cracking, and uneven end faces at the corners, which not only affects the appearance of the cabinet door but may also reduce the structural strength of the cabinet door. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to improve the appearance of the cabinet door and ensure the structural strength of the cabinet door, the present invention proposes a cabinet component structure including a glass window, which includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a glass plate clamped between the first side plate and the second side plate; characterized in that a first window is provided on the first side plate, and a circle of bending edges extending towards the inner side of the first side plate is arranged around the first window, and there is a vacancy at the corner position in the circle of bending edges, so that a left bending edge end and a right bending edge end are formed on both sides of the vacancy part; it further includes a corner transition plastic block filled in the vacancy part, and the left bending edge end and the right bending edge end are respectively combined with the left and right side edges of the corner transition plastic block; an L-shaped upper step facing the first window is provided on the corner transition plastic block, the bottom plane of the upper step is flush with the bending edge, and the glass plate is arranged on the bottom plane of the upper step and the bending edge; a second window is provided on the second side plate, and the projection of the second window is located within the range defined by the glass plate.

[0004] Wherein, a circle of bending edges extending towards the inner side of the first side plate is arranged around the first window. The inner side of the first side plate refers to the side of the first side plate facing the second side plate, and the side opposite to the second side plate is the outer side of the first side plate; the bending edge facing the inner side can, on the one hand, reduce the exposure of the burrs of the bending edge, and on the other hand, the bending edge can also be used to provide support for the glass plate and cooperate with the glass plate to form a concave pit position on the first side plate.

[0005] Among them, an L-shaped upper step facing the first window is provided on the corner transition plastic block. The upper step is a positioning structure provided on the upper end face of the corner transition plastic block, including the bottom plane of the upper step and the side face standing on the bottom plane of the upper step. The side face of the upper step is connected to the bottom plane and is L-shaped. The bottom plane faces the glass plate so as to be able to serve as the support plane of the glass plate, and the side face of the upper step can serve as the side positioning surface of the glass plate.

[0006] Among them, the projection of the second window is located within the range defined by the glass plate, indicating that in the projection direction, the projected area of the glass plate is larger than the projected area enclosed by the boundary of the second window. From the outside of the second side plate, the edge of the glass plate can be completely blocked by the plate body of the second side plate, and the second side plate and the glass plate can be connected to form a complete cabinet door wall body.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: First, setting the vacant part at the corner position in the bent edge can well solve problems such as wrinkling, cracking and uneven end faces generated at the corner position during the bending of sheet metal parts; Second, by setting the corner transition plastic block, the notch of the bent edge can be well filled, and the left end and the right end of the bent edge are respectively combined with the left and right sides of the corner transition plastic block, and the bent edge and the corner transition plastic block are combined to form a continuous partition surface, which is beneficial to ensuring the appearance integrity of the cabinet door structure and is also convenient for positioning and installing the glass plate; Third, an L-shaped upper step is provided on the corner transition plastic block. The upper step can not only provide front support for the glass plate but also provide side limitation for the glass plate, greatly improving the installation stability of the glass plate.

[0008] A further technical solution may be that an L-shaped left step facing the left bending edge end and an L-shaped right step facing the right bending edge end are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the corner transition plastic block, and the left bending edge end and the right bending edge end are respectively overlapped on the bottom planes of the left step and the right step. Wherein, the left step and the right step also include a bottom plane and a side elevation, but the difference from the upper step is that the orientations of the steps are different, such as the bottom plane of the left step faces the left bending edge end and overlaps with a side surface of the left bending edge end to form an overlap structure, and the bottom plane of the bottom plane of the right step faces the right bending edge end and overlaps with a side surface of the right bending edge end to form an overlap structure, which is conducive to improving the connection tightness between the corner transition plastic block and the bending edge and reducing the gap at the connection; at the same time, the left step and the right step have a certain side height, which can make the bending edge and the corner transition plastic block connect more smoothly.

[0009] A further technical solution may be that the top surfaces of the left and right steps are protruding, and when the left and right bending edge ends are respectively overlapped on the bottom planes of the left and right steps, the top surfaces of the left and right steps are respectively higher than the left and right bending edge ends. The top surfaces of the left and right steps are planes located at the top of the side walls of the left and right steps. By setting the top surfaces of the left and right steps higher than the left and right bending edge ends, it is helpful to reduce the protrusion of sharp edges of the left and right bending edge ends, thereby protecting the safety of the user.

[0010] A further technical solution may be that grooves flush with the bottom plane are respectively provided on the left step and the right step, and when the left bent edge end and the right bent edge end are respectively overlapped on the left step and the right step, they are also inserted into the grooves at the same time. The grooves are recessed groove-shaped spaces provided on the side walls of the left step and the right step; thus, when the left bent edge end and the right bent edge end are overlapped on the left step and the right step, the grooves can well prevent the left bent edge end and the right bent edge end from protruding, greatly improving the safety of use.

[0011] A further technical solution may be that the upper surface of the glass plate is not higher than the top surface of the upper step. When the second side plate cover is pressed against the glass plate, the second side plate is mainly combined with the top surface of the upper step of the corner transition plastic block, which is conducive to reducing the pressing force acting on the glass plate and thus protecting the glass plate; however, in order to reduce the shaking of the glass plate in actual assembly, the distance between the upper surface of the glass plate and the top surface of the upper step should be as small as possible.

[0012] A further technical solution may also be that it further includes plastic block screws, and the plastic block screws pass through the first side plate and then are connected to the corner transition plastic block, so as to detachably fix the corner transition plastic block to the first side plate.

[0013] A further technical solution may also be that a first rubber gasket is arranged between the first side plate and the glass plate, and the first rubber gasket surrounds the outside of the bent edge. Further, a second rubber gasket is arranged between the second side plate and the glass plate, and the second rubber gasket surrounds the outside of the second window. By providing the first rubber gasket and the second rubber gasket, a soft buffer zone is formed between the first side plate, the second side plate and the glass plate, which is beneficial to protecting the glass plate.

[0014] Since the cabinet component structure including the glass window has the above advantages, it can be applied to a cabinet. The cabinet includes a left side plate, a right side plate and a cabinet door, and is characterized in that the cabinet component structure including the glass window is arranged on the left side plate, the right side plate or the cabinet door. A lock is arranged on the cabinet door, and the lock includes a top and bottom extending mortise lock rod, and the mortise lock rod is used to cooperate with the cabinet frame to lock the cabinet door. Such a cabinet structure is safe and reliable, and the interior of the cabinet can be easily observed through the glass window, greatly improving the use convenience of the cabinet.

[0015] Since the present invention has the above characteristics and advantages, it can be applied to a cabinet including a cabinet component with a glass window. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The following further describes the cabinet with a cabinet component structure including a glass window applying the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings.

[0022] As shown Figure 1 in Figure 2 Figure, the cabinet includes a left side plate 1a, a right side plate 1b and a cabinet door 2. The cabinet door 2 is rotatably connected to the left side plate 1a or the right side plate 1b through a hinge. A lock is provided on the cabinet door 2. The lock includes an upper sky-earth lock rod 31 and a lower sky-earth lock rod 32 extending in the up-down direction. The upper sky-earth lock rod 31 and the lower sky-earth lock rod 32 are used to engage with the cabinet frame to lock the cabinet door 2. In order to facilitate observing the items inside the cabinet without opening the cabinet door 2, a cabinet component structure including a glass window can be provided on the left side plate 1a, the right side plate 1b or the cabinet door 2. To adapt to the general usage habit, in this embodiment, the cabinet component structure including the glass window is provided on the cabinet door 2.

[0023] As shown Figures 2 to 5 in Figure, the cabinet component structure including the glass window includes a first side plate 4, a second side plate 5 and a glass plate 6 clamped between the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5; As shown Figure 2 in Figure, from the perspective of the whole cabinet, the first side plate 4 is the side plate on the side of the cabinet door 2 facing the inside of the cabinet. The first side plate 4, the glass plate 6 and the second side plate 5 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. However, when looking at the cabinet component as a separate component, the direction of the plate body of the first side plate 4 facing the second side plate 5 is the inner direction of the first side plate 4, and the opposite direction away from the second side plate 5 is the outer direction of the first side plate 4. A first window 40 is provided on the first side plate 4. The first window 40 is a through hole provided on the panel wall body of the first side plate 4. A circle of bending edges 41 extending towards the inner direction of the first side plate 4 is provided around the first window 40. The bending edges 41 were originally part of the panel wall body of the first side plate 4 and are formed by machining and bending towards the inner direction of the first side plate 4. After formation, the bending edges 41 are perpendicularly arranged with the panel wall body of the first side plate 4. In order to solve problems such as wrinkling, cracking and uneven end faces generated at the corner positions during the bending process of the bending edges 41, the material at the corner positions of the circle of bending edges 41 is cut off to form a vacant part 42 at the corner positions of the bending edges 41. At the same time, a left bending edge end 43 is formed on the left side of the vacant part 42 of the bending edges 41, and a right bending edge end 44 is formed on the right side.

[0024] As shown Figure 2 in Figure 3As shown, the first window 40 is square, and the bent edges 41 are provided with the vacant parts 42 at the four corners of the square. In order to improve the aesthetics of the cabinet door for the vacant parts 42, a corner transition plastic block 8 is also provided at the position of the vacant parts 42. The corner transition plastic block 8 includes a main body 80 in a bent shape, a left side 81 extending leftward from the main body 80, and a right side 82 extending rightward from the main body 80. Among them, the left side 81 extends to the end 43 of the left bent edge and combines with the end 43 of the left bent edge, while the right side 82 extends to the end 44 of the right bent edge and combines with the end 44 of the right bent edge. In this way, the corner transition plastic block 8 can be filled in the vacant part 42 of the bent edge 41 to reduce the formation of leakage. Further, since the corner transition plastic block 8 is an independently manufactured component, an appearance connection surface for connecting to the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge is also provided on the side of the corner transition plastic block 8 facing the first window 40. The shape of the appearance connection surface can be made into the same shape as the original design shape at the turning point of the bent edge 41 so as to form a complete and beautiful flanging in combination with the bent edge 41.

[0025] In order to enable the corner transition plastic block 8 to be stably connected to the first side plate 4, a fixed installation hole 83 is provided on the corner transition plastic block 8, and an installation through hole 45 is provided on the first side plate 4. The cabinet component structure further includes a plastic block screw. The plastic block screw passes through the installation through hole 45 of the first side plate 4 and then connects to the fixed installation hole 83 of the corner transition plastic block 8, thereby detachably fixing the corner transition plastic block 8 to the first side plate 4.

[0026] A further technical solution may also be that an L-shaped upper step 84 facing the first window 40 is provided on the corner transition plastic block 8. The upper step 84 is arranged on the side where the corner transition plastic block 8 is connected to the glass plate 6. The upper step 84 includes an upper step bottom plane 841 at the bottom of the upper step 84, an upper step top surface 842 at the top of the upper step 84, and an upper step vertical surface 843 erected in the middle. The upper step bottom plane 841 is flush with the bent edge 41. The glass plate 6 is arranged on the upper step bottom plane 841 and the bent edge 41. The upper step vertical surface 843 is arranged on the side of the glass plate 6. In this way, the upper step bottom plane 841 and the bent edge 41 can provide support for the glass plate 6 when it is placed. And the vertical surface 843 of the upper step can provide side positioning for the glass plate 6, which is beneficial to the placement and installation of the glass plate 6 and improve the connection stability. Further, when the glass plate 6 is installed on the corner transition plastic block 8, the upper surface of the glass plate 6 is not higher than the upper step top surface 842. In this way, when the second side plate 5 presses against the glass plate 6, the second side plate 5 mainly combines with the upper step top surface 842 of the corner transition plastic block 8, which is beneficial to reducing the pressing force acting on the glass plate 6 and thus protecting the glass plate 6. Of course, the height difference between the upper surface of the glass plate 6 and the upper step top surface 842 cannot be too large, otherwise the glass plate 6 will be too loose after the cabinet door is installed.

[0027] A further technical solution may also be that a second window 50 is provided on the second side plate 5, and the projection of the second window 50 is located within the range defined by the glass plate 6. In this way, when the second side plate 5 is combined with the glass plate 6, the edge of the glass plate 6 completely falls inside the second window 50 and is blocked by the plate body of the second side plate 5. Looking from the outside of the second window 50, the second side plate 5 and the glass plate 6 are connected to form the outer wall body of the cabinet door.

[0028] In order to protect the glass plate 6, a first rubber gasket 91 is provided between the first side plate 4 and the glass plate 6. The first rubber gasket 91 surrounds the outside of the bent edge 41. The first rubber gasket 91 forms a buffer member between the glass plate 6 and the first side plate 4. Further, a second rubber gasket 92 is provided between the second side plate 5 and the glass plate 6. The second rubber gasket 92 surrounds the outside of the second window 50. The second rubber gasket 92 also forms a buffer member between the glass plate 6 and the second side plate 5. In this way, through the first rubber gasket 91 and the second rubber gasket 92, the contact between the glass plate and the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 can be well reduced, which is beneficial to protecting the glass plate 6.

[0029] The left bending edge end 43 and the right bending edge end 44 are generally made of metal plates, and burrs or sharp edges may be generated at the cut. In order to make the connection between the corner transition plastic block 8 and the left bending edge end 43 and the right bending edge end 44 closer and reduce the exposure of the cut, the following three specific embodiments are used to illustrate the corner transition plastic block 8:

[0030] The first embodiment

[0031] As Figure 3 shown, an L-shaped left step 85 facing the left bending edge end 43 is provided on the left side 81 of the corner transition plastic block 8, and an L-shaped right step 86 facing the right bending edge end 44 is provided on the right side 82. Among them, the left step 85 is formed by extending a part of the wall of the left side 81 to the inside of the left bending edge end 43. The surface where the extended wall of the left side 81 combines with the inner surface of the left bending edge end 43 is the bottom plane 851 of the left step, and the left bending edge end 43 can be placed on the bottom plane 851 of the left step. Similarly, the right step 86 is formed by extending a part of the wall of the right side 82 to the inside of the right bending edge end 44, and the right bending edge end 44 is placed on the bottom plane 861 of the right step. The overlapping and lapping structure formed by the corner transition plastic block 8 and the left bending edge end 43 and the right bending edge end 44 is beneficial to improving the connection tightness between the corner transition plastic block 8 and the bending edge 41, reducing the gap at the connection, and the left bending edge end 43 and the right bending edge end 44 also provide positioning for the installation of the corner transition plastic block 8.

[0032] The second embodiment

[0033] As Figure 4As shown, on the left side 81 and the right left side 82 of the corner transition plastic block 8, in addition to the left step 85 and the right step 86 being provided, the end 43 of the left bent edge is lapped on the bottom plane 851 of the left step, and the end 44 of the right bent edge is lapped on the bottom plane 861 of the right step; on the left step 85 and the right step 86, there are also provided left step side surfaces 852 and right step side surfaces 862 with a certain height, as well as a left top surface 853 connected to the upper edge of the left step side surface 852 and a right top surface 863 connected to the upper end of the right step side surface 862. Since the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge may be deformed during formation and extend into the first window 40, therefore, the left top surface 853 of the left step 85 and the right top surface 863 of the right step 86 are both in a protruding shape. When the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge are respectively lapped on the bottom planes of the left step 85 and the right step 86, the left top surface 853 of the left step 85 and the right top surface 863 of the right step 86 are respectively higher than the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge. This is beneficial to reducing the risk of the edges of the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge protruding, and greatly improves the safety and aesthetics of the cabinet door.

[0034] The third embodiment

[0035] As Figure 5 shown, a left groove 854 is provided on the left step 85. The left groove 854 is a recessed groove-shaped space formed on the side wall body of the left step 85. One side wall surface of the left groove 854 coincides with the bottom plane 851 of the left step, and the notch of the left groove 854 faces the end 43 of the left bent edge; a right groove 864 is provided on the right step 86. One side wall surface of the right groove 864 coincides with the bottom plane 861 of the right step, and the notch of the right groove 864 faces the end 44 of the right bent edge. When the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge are respectively lapped on the left step 85 and the right step 86, they are also inserted into the left groove 854 and the right groove 864 at the same time. In this way, the connection positions of the end 43 of the left bent edge and the end 44 of the right bent edge are effectively restricted by the left groove 854 and the right groove 864, and the use safety of the cabinet door is greatly improved.
