[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. A thin, low-profile drawer adjuster includes a front connector 1 fixed to a front panel and a connecting adjuster fixed to a side panel 2. The front connector 1 is inserted into the connecting adjuster to connect the front panel to the drawer side panel 2. The connecting adjuster is characterized in that the connecting adjuster includes a fixed plate 3 fixed to the side panel 2 and a main plate 4 disposed on the fixed plate 3 and movable up and down. The main plate 4 is provided with a locking slot 41, into which the front connector 1 is inserted.

[0025] The main plate 4 is hingedly mounted with a locking plate 5 via a first pin 42. A buckle slot 51 is provided at the lower end of the locking plate 5 to engage with the locking block 11 on the front connector 1, locking the front connector 1 in the lock slot 41. A first elastic member is provided on the locking plate 5 to drive the buckle slot 51 of the locking plate 5 to always swing inward.

[0026] The locking plate 5 is hingedly mounted with a trigger plate 6 via a first pin 42. A limiting groove 61 is provided on the trigger plate 6 and is trapped on the first pin 42. A locking groove 62 is provided on the side wall of the trigger plate 6. Correspondingly, a locking block 43 is provided on the main board 4 to cooperate with the locking groove 62. The trigger plate 6 is also provided with a second elastic member, which drives the trigger plate 6 to always swing toward the locking block 43.

[0027] The main board 4 is also provided with an elastic sheet 7, one end of the elastic sheet 7 is fixed to the main board 4, and the other end is provided with a clamping plate 71. When the locking plate 5 is closed, the clamping plate 71 is elastically snapped into the driving hole 52 provided on the locking plate 5 to lock the locking plate 5 in the locked state.

[0028] A connecting plate 8 is hingedly mounted on the locking plate 5 . The connecting plate 8 is provided with a guide groove 81 . A fixing screw 82 passes through the guide groove 81 and is screwed and fixed to the main plate 4 .

[0029] The elastic sheet 7 is provided with a connecting hole 72 which is sleeved on the first pin 42 . The elastic sheet 7 is also provided with a positioning groove 73 which is snapped onto the notch at the tail end of the locking groove 41 to limit the deflection of the elastic sheet 7 .

[0030] The driving hole 52 is a cross slot provided on the locking plate 5 .

[0031] The trigger plate 6 is further provided with a positioning hole 63 , which is trapped on the second pin 44 , and the second pin 44 is hinged to the locking plate 5 .

[0032] The first elastic member is a tension spring 9 provided between the locking plate 5 and the main plate 4 .

[0033] The second elastic member is a torsion spring 91 provided between the locking plate 5 and the trigger plate 6 .

[0034] A first boss 53 and a second boss 64 are respectively provided on the opposite surfaces of the locking plate 5 and the trigger plate 6 , and two supporting legs of the torsion spring 91 are supported on the first boss 53 and the second boss 64 respectively.

[0035] Working principle: Figure 3 As shown, before the front code is inserted, the trigger plate is buckled into the slot 62 on the main board 4 using the slot provided on its side wall, so that it supports the locking plate in an open state and causes the locking plate to stretch the tension spring to generate the door locking force.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, when the user inserts the front code, the locking block at the front end of the front code enters the lock slot of the locking plate and collides with the trigger plate. After the collision, the trigger plate forces the card slot set on its side wall to separate from the card slot 62 on the main board 4, and loses its support for the locking plate. The locking plate swings under the action of the tension spring, and the lock block 11 is hooked by the lock slot 41 to drag the front code into the lock slot, so that the drawer panel has a self-priming effect during installation.

[0037] It should be noted that after the current connection code is dragged in, the locking plate is pulled to a locked state by the tension spring. At this time, the card plate 71 elastically snaps into the drive hole 52 provided on the locking plate 5, locking the locking plate 5 in the locked state, thereby maintaining the connection between the drawer panel and the side panel. In order to prevent the drawer panel from loosening easily due to excessive pulling by the user after the two are assembled, a connecting plate 8 is also hingedly mounted on the locking plate 5 in this case. The connecting plate 8 is provided with a guide groove 81, and a fixing screw 82 is screwed through the guide groove 81 to fix it to the main plate 4. After the drawer panel is installed, the fixing screw is tightened, thereby utilizing the traction and locking effect of the connecting plate to firmly fix the locking plate, thereby improving the connection strength and impact resistance of this structure.

[0038] When the user needs to remove the panel, they first loosen the fixing screws 82, allowing the connecting plate to slide freely. Then, they insert a screwdriver into the drive hole 52. As the screwdriver is inserted, it pushes the locking plate 71 away from the drive hole, releasing the locking plate from its position. The user then turns the screwdriver, using the torque to swing the locking plate outward, thereby pushing the front connector outward and releasing the lock between the front connector and the locking plate. Once the locking plate has swung outward into position, the trigger plate, acting on the torsion spring, swings, snapping into the slot 62 on the main board 4 using the slot on its side wall. This supports the locking plate, allowing it to reopen, and causes the locking plate to stretch the tension spring to generate the locking force, preparing for the next docking.

[0039] Compared with traditional technology, the unique trigger plate structure in this case can produce a self-priming installation effect when the drawer panel is installed. After installation, the double locking effect of the clamping plate on the elastic sheet and the connecting plate ensures the stability and impact resistance of the drawer panel after installation, so it can be widely promoted and used.

[0040] The basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
