The inner rail has a third fixing part, and fasteners are provided on the third fixing part to fix the inner rail to the side panel.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. By installing interlocking components between the guide rail assemblies, when all drawers in the cabinet are closed, the interlocking components can move up and down, allowing any drawer in the cabinet to be opened. When one drawer is open, the interlocking components cannot move up or down; the locking mechanism of the interlocking components locks the push plate of the inner rail assembly, preventing the push plate from sliding back and forth. At the same time, the inner rail linked to the push plate cannot be pulled out. This ensures that other drawers cannot be opened, achieving the interlocking function between the guide rail assemblies. This improves the structural stability of the furniture, and the fact that drawers cannot be opened simultaneously prevents the cabinet from tipping over, increasing safety and ensuring the quality of product use.
[0017] 2. The interlocking component is installed at the front of the drawer, which facilitates the processing of the guide rail components and the installation of the interlocking component. Since the interlocking component is located at the front opening of the cabinet, it can be easily installed and removed through the front opening of the cabinet.
[0018] 3. The vertical position between the locking component and the connecting rod can be adjusted by adjusting the component, which can compensate for the cutting error of the connecting rod, that is, make up for the length tolerance of the connecting rod. This allows for adjustment of the tightness of the interlock component and the guide rail component, making the contact between the locking component and the inner and middle rails more precise, improving the interlocking effect, and making the locking effect more secure. If the interlock component and the guide rail component are too loose, it will cause the inner rail component to wobble back and forth, resulting in an unsatisfactory interlocking effect.
[0019] 4. The interlocking function can be achieved through interlocking components, inner rail components, and middle rail components. It has fewer parts, does not require a transmission structure, has low manufacturing cost, and has a simpler and more reliable structure. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0053] See Figures 1-9 , Figures 12-32 This furniture with drawer interlocking function includes a cabinet body 1, at least two drawers 2 arranged vertically within the cabinet body 1, and a guide rail assembly a. In this embodiment, three drawers 2 are provided. The guide rail assembly a includes an inner rail assembly 3, a middle rail assembly 4, and an outer rail assembly 5. The outer rail assembly 5 is fixed to the cabinet body 1. The inner rail assembly 3 is connected to the drawers 2 and the middle rail assembly 4 respectively. The middle rail assembly 4 is slidably connected to the outer rail assembly 5. The furniture also includes an interlocking assembly b disposed between the guide rail assemblies a. The interlocking assembly b is located at the front end of the drawers 2 (guide rail assembly a) and includes a locking element 6 and a connecting rod 7. The locking element 6 is disposed at both ends of the connecting rod 7. The locking element 6 is a pin. The locking element 6 at one end of the connecting rod 7 and the locking element 6 at the other end of the other connecting rod 7 are interlocked and linked. An adjustment assembly c is provided between the locking element 6 and the connecting rod 7. The locking element 6 and the connecting rod 7 are adjusted by adjusting the locking element 6 and the connecting rod 7. The vertical position of the levers 7; when one drawer 2 is pulled out, the drawer 2 drives the corresponding inner rail assembly 3 and the middle rail assembly 4 to be pulled out. The inner rail assembly 3 acts on the locking piece 6 at one end of the lever 7, so that the interlocking assembly b moves longitudinally (up or down), thereby locking the corresponding inner rail assembly 3 at the other end of the lever 7, so that the corresponding inner rail assembly 3 cannot move, thus locking the corresponding drawer 2. After the inner rail assembly 3 and the middle rail assembly 4 are pulled out a certain distance, the locking piece 6 at one end of the lever 7 presses against the middle rail assembly 4. At this time, the interlocking assembly b cannot move. When the interlocking assembly b moves longitudinally, it drives the other interlocking assemblies b to move longitudinally at the same time, so that the locking pieces 6 of the other interlocking assemblies b lock the corresponding inner rail assembly 3, so that the other inner rail assembly 3 cannot move, thus locking the other drawers 2. At this time, all interlocking assemblies b cannot move. This furniture with drawer interlocking function, through the overall cooperation of guide rail assembly a, drawer 2, cabinet 1 and interlocking assembly b, allows only one drawer 2 to be pulled out at a time when multiple drawers 2 of cabinet 1 are closed, thanks to the interlocking action of interlocking assembly b. This achieves the interlocking function between guide rail assemblies a, improves structural stability, increases safety in use, and ensures the quality of product use.
[0054] The inner rail assembly 3 includes an inner rail 8 and a push plate 9. The push plate 9 is connected to the front end of the inner rail 8, and the push plate 9 and the inner rail 8 are riveted together by rivets 19. The locking element 6 is provided with a first inclined surface 6.1, and the push plate 9 is provided with a second inclined surface 9.1. When all drawers 2 in the cabinet 1 are closed, all interlocking components b can move up and down. When one of the drawers 2 is pulled out, the inner rail 8, through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 6.1 and the second inclined surface 9.1, acts on the locking element 6 at one end of the connecting rod 7 to push the interlocking component b to move longitudinally, thereby... The locking element 6 at the other end of the connecting rod 7 locks the corresponding inner rail 8 through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 6.1 and the second inclined surface 9.1. That is, the first inclined surface 6.1 presses against the second inclined surface 9.1, so that the corresponding inner rail 8 cannot move back and forth. When the inner rail 8 cannot move back and forth, the drawer 2 associated with it cannot be opened. At the same time, all interlocking components b in the cabinet 1 cannot move up and down, so that other drawers 2 in the cabinet 1 cannot be opened. Only one drawer 2 can be opened at a time in a cabinet 1, thus achieving the interlocking effect.
[0055] The push plate 9 is provided with a third inclined surface 9.4 that cooperates with the first inclined surface 6.1. If the drawer 2 pulls out the inner rail assembly 3 but the middle rail assembly 4 is not pulled out, and then the inner rail assembly 3 is pushed back in, the inner rail assembly 3 will push the locking piece 6 open through the cooperation of the third inclined surface 9.4 and the first inclined surface 6.1, to prevent the inner rail assembly 3 from being stuck by the locking piece 6 when it is pushed back in, thus preventing the drawer 2 from closing.
[0056] The center rail assembly 4 includes a center rail 10 and a connector 11. The connector 11 is connected to the front end of the center rail 10 and is snapped into the center rail 10 by a snap-fit. The connector 11 is a rubber plug. The connector 11 is provided with a first snap-fit part 11.1, and the push plate 9 is provided with a second snap-fit part 9.2. The connector 11 and the push plate 9 are snapped together by the cooperation of the first snap-fit part 11.1 and the second snap-fit part 9.2. The first snap-fit part 11.1 is a snap-fit, and the second snap-fit part 9.2 is a retaining rib. When the inner rail assembly 3 is pulled out or pushed in, it will drive the middle rail assembly 4 to be pulled out or pushed in simultaneously, so that the drawer 2 can achieve the interlock function when it is pulled out slightly; the middle rail 10 is provided with flanges 10.1 on both sides, and the locking member 6 is provided with a first positioning surface 6.2. After the interlock assembly b moves longitudinally, the first positioning surface 6.2 of the locking member 6 at one end of the connecting rod 7 abuts against the flanges 10.1 of the middle rail 10. At this time, the interlock assembly b cannot move up and down, and the other drawers 2 associated with it cannot be opened.
[0057] The outer rail assembly 5 includes an outer rail 12 and a fixing seat 13. The fixing seat 13 is connected to the front end of the outer rail 12 and is snapped into the outer rail 12. The fixing seat 13 is provided with a sliding groove 13.1, and the outer rail 12 is provided with a positioning hole 12.1. The positioning hole 12.1 is a square hole. The locking member 6 is provided with a sliding part 6.3. The sliding part 6.3 passes through the positioning hole 12.1 and slides up and down on the sliding groove 13.1. This structure allows the locking member 6 to act on the inner rail 8 and the middle rail 10. The sliding part 6.3 is positioned in the positioning hole 12.1 in all directions, and the positioning hole 12.1 serves as a guide for vertical movement.
[0058] The locking component 6 is provided with a positioning rib 6.4 and a latching protrusion 6.5, the fixing base 13 is provided with a latching position 13.2, and the positioning hole 12.1 is provided with a positioning edge 12.2. The positioning rib 6.4 and the latching position 13.2 cooperate with each other so that when the guide rail assembly a is installed on the cabinet 1, the interlocking assembly b will not fall off due to gravity when it is in a vertical state. The latching protrusion 6.5 and the positioning edge 12.2 cooperate with each other so that the interlocking assembly b will not automatically droop due to gravity, and at the same time, the interlocking assembly b must be pushed by an external force to slide vertically up and down. The above structure also makes it convenient for users to install the interlocking assembly b.
[0059] The outer rail 12 is provided with a positioning protrusion 12.3, a positioning flange 12.4, and a positioning folded edge 12.5. The fixing seat 13 is provided with a positioning notch 13.3, a first positioning edge 13.4, and a second positioning edge 13.5. The fixing seat 13 is positioned and installed on the outer rail 12 through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 12.3 and the positioning notch 13.3, the cooperation of the positioning flange 12.4 and the first positioning edge 13.4, and the cooperation of the positioning folded edge 12.5 and the second positioning edge 13.5. The outer rail 12 is provided with a first fixing hole 12.6, and the fixing seat 13 is provided with a second fixing hole 13.6. A first screw 22 is provided on the first fixing hole 12.6 and the second fixing hole 13.6 to fix the outer rail 12 and the fixing seat 13 to the cabinet 1. The first screw 22 can prevent the fixing seat 13 from deforming. When the upper and lower locking parts 6 are subjected to force, the fixing seat 13 is easily deformed. The deformation of the fixing seat 13 will cause the push parts 6.6 of the upper and lower locking parts 6 to fail to stack and link.
[0060] The locking member 6 is provided with a pushing part 6.6. The locking member 6 at one end of the connecting rod 7 and the locking member 6 at the other end of the other connecting rod 7 are interlocked and linked through the pushing part 6.6. The pushing part 6.6 is provided with a pushing surface 6.7 and a pushing mating surface 6.8. When the locking member 6 moves longitudinally, it pushes other locking members 6 to move longitudinally through the cooperation of the pushing surface 6.7 and the pushing mating surface 6.8. When any locking member 6 moves, it will push other locking members 6 to move, so as to realize the interlocking between the guide rail assemblies a.
[0061] Adjustment component c includes an adjusting member 14 and an adjusting mating member 15. The adjusting member 14 is installed on the adjusting groove 6.10 of the locking member 6. The adjusting mating member 15 is provided with a first fixing part 15.1. The two ends of the connecting rod 7 are respectively snapped onto the corresponding first fixing part 15.1 by buckles. The first fixing part 15.1 is a slot. During installation, first install the adjusting member 14 onto the locking member 6, then connect the adjusting member 14 and the adjusting mating member 15, then insert the locking member 6 into the guide rail assembly a already installed on the cabinet 1, and finally snap the connecting rod 7 into the adjusting mating member 15 respectively. An adjustment part d is provided between the component 14 and the adjusting mating part 15. The adjustment part 14 and the adjusting mating part 15 adjust the vertical position between the locking part 6 and the connecting rod 7 through the adjustment part d. Specifically, the adjustment part 14 is an adjusting nut, and the adjustment part d is a threaded part 14.1 provided on the adjustment part 14 and an adjusting screw 15.2 provided on the adjusting mating part 15. The threaded part 14.1 and the adjusting screw 15.2 cooperate with each other. Its working principle is to rotate the adjustment part 14 to push the adjusting mating part 15 to move up and down, so as to realize the vertical fine adjustment function between the locking part 6 and the connecting rod 7.
[0062] Drawer 2 includes a side panel 16 and a front panel 17. The push plate 9 is provided with a second positioning surface 9.3, and the front panel 17 is provided with a third positioning surface 17.1.
