Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of object storage, and in particular to a storage module with a built-in slide rail assembly. Background Art

[0002] Existing storage modules, such as drawers, are pulled out and into the cabinet body via slides. Drawers typically have a single storage cavity. For small cutlery, the drawer cavity is equipped with an upper storage unit for small cutlery. The upper unit slides back and forth within the cavity via slides. When the upper unit slides toward the rear of the drawer, items below the upper unit (those located at the rear of the cavity) can be retrieved. However, the upper unit's slides are typically mounted on the entire side panel, making the entire storage module bulky and high in material cost.

[0003] Therefore, further improvement is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention proposes a storage module with a built-in slide rail assembly, in which the fixing parts are suspended above the side panels through front and rear connecting components. The height of the side panels can be reduced, and there is no need to use a whole side panel to support the fixing parts for installing the slide rail assembly, thereby effectively reducing the overall weight of the storage module and saving the material cost of the side panels.

[0005] A storage module with a built-in slide rail assembly designed for this purpose includes side panels, fixings for mounting the slide rail assembly, and front and rear connection assemblies; The front and rear connecting components are connected to the side panels, and the front and rear connecting components extend upward toward the upper portion of the side panels and are connected to the fixing members, and the fixing members are suspended above the side panels through the front and rear connecting components; An installation matching portion for positioning and installing the slide rail assembly is provided between the fixing member and the front and rear connecting components, so that the slide rail assembly is positioned and installed on the fixing member in a suspended state.

[0006] A fixed or adjustable hollow distance is provided between the fixing member and the side panels above and below; The hollow space is continuously extended along the length direction of the side plate and / or the fixing member.

[0007] The installation matching part includes an assembly cavity provided on the fixing member and a plug-in end provided on the front and rear connection components. The plug-in end is installed on the assembly cavity, and the slide rail component is positioned and installed between the inner side of the assembly cavity and the plug-in end.

[0008] The front and rear connecting components include a front connecting member and a rear connecting member installed on the assembly cavity and positioned to cooperate with the slide rail assembly. The slide rail assembly is installed on the assembly cavity of the fixing member through the front connecting member and the rear connecting member in an up-down and / or left-right and / or front-back positioning manner.

[0009] The front connecting piece and / or the rear connecting piece are provided with upper and lower positioning parts for positioning the slide rail assembly up and down.

[0010] The front connecting piece and / or the rear connecting piece are provided with left and right positioning parts for cooperating with the inner side of the assembly cavity to position the slide rail assembly left and right.

[0011] The front connecting member and / or the rear connecting member are provided with front and rear positioning parts for positioning the slide rail assembly front and rear.

[0012] The front connecting member is provided with a connecting portion positioned and matched with the side panel, and a first fixing portion fixed on the side panel. The front connecting member is provided with a second fixing portion fixedly connected to the fixing member.

[0013] The rear connecting member is provided with a third fixing portion fixedly connected to the fixing member, and the side plate is provided with a fourth fixing portion fixedly connected to the rear connecting member; An opening is provided at the rear of the rear connecting piece, and the slide rail assembly moves linearly on the fixing piece along the opening of the rear connecting piece.

[0014] The inner side of the fixing piece is provided with an installation avoidance space for avoiding the connection between the slide rail assembly and the accessories, and the accessories slide back and forth on the inner side of the side plate through the slide rail assembly.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: The fixings are suspended above the side panels through the front and rear connecting components, so the height of the side panels can be lowered. There is no need to use the entire side panel to support the fixings for installing the slide rail assembly, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the storage module and saves the material cost of the side panels.

[0016] A hollow space is provided between the fixing part and the upper and lower sides of the side panel. The hollow space extends continuously along the length direction of the side panel and / or the fixing part, effectively reducing the overall weight of the storage module. The fixing part is supported on the upper side of the side panel through the front and rear connecting components to meet the supporting force for small tableware, such as chopsticks, knives, forks and soup spoons.

[0017] The slide rail assembly is positioned and installed on the assembly cavity of the fixing part in an up-down and / or left-right and / or front-back manner through the front connecting part and the rear connecting part. The slide rail assembly does not require rigid connecting parts such as screws to be fixed to the fixing part. It is only necessary to use the front connecting part and the rear connecting part to position the fixed rail in the slide rail assembly on the fixing part, which simplifies the installation structure between the slide rail assembly and the fixing part and improves assembly efficiency.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] First embodiment: See also Figures 1-8 , a storage module with a built-in slide rail assembly, comprising a side panel 1, a fixing member 2 for mounting a slide rail assembly 3 and front and rear connecting assemblies 4; The front and rear connecting components 4 are connected to the side panels 1, and the front and rear connecting components 4 extend upward toward the upper portion of the side panels 1 and are connected to the fixing members 2. The fixing members 2 are suspended above the side panels 1 through the front and rear connecting components 4. An installation fitting portion 5 for positioning and installing the slide rail assembly 3 is provided between the fixing member 2 and the front and rear connecting components 4, so that the slide rail assembly 3 is positioned and installed on the fixing member 2 in a suspended state.

[0028] The storage module in this embodiment is configured with a fixing member 2 and front and rear connecting assemblies 4 that cooperate with the side panel 1. The front and rear connecting assemblies 4 are connected to the side panel 1 and extend upward to connect with the fixing member 2, allowing the fixing member 2 to be suspended above the side panel 1. The slide rail assembly 3 is positioned and installed using the mounting mating portion 5. This structural design eliminates the need to install the slide rail assembly 3 on the entire side panel 1. Instead, installation is achieved through independent fixing members 2 and front and rear connecting assemblies 4, eliminating the need for a complete side panel 1. As a result, the structure of the side panel 1 can be simplified, eliminating the need to maintain a large overall size to accommodate the slide rail assembly 3. This not only reduces the material usage and material costs of the side panel 1, but also reduces the overall weight of the storage module, making it more portable. Furthermore, the suspended fixing member 2 does not affect the original function of the side panel. It also provides a stable mounting base for the slide rail assembly, ensuring that accessories 20, such as the upper storage items, can slide smoothly through the slide rail assembly 3, making it convenient for users to access and place items, thus balancing practicality and cost. Since the fixing part 2 is manufactured separately, the thickness error requirement of the fixing part 2 can be reduced accordingly. Traditionally, since the slide rail assembly 3 is installed in the entire side panel 1, and accessories 20 such as the upper storage part need to slide smoothly, the upper storage part cannot interfere with the inner side of the side panel 1, so the thickness dimension of the side panel 1 needs to be within the error range, and its precision requirement is high.

[0029] A fixed hollow distance 6 is provided between the fixing member 2 and the side panel 1 above and below; The hollow space 6 is continuously extended along the length direction of the side panel 1 and / or the fixing member 2.

[0030] A fixed hollow space 6 is defined between the fixing member 2 and the side panel 1, extending continuously along the length of the side panel 1 and / or the fixing member 2. The presence of hollow space 6 eliminates the need for a single piece of material to connect the fixing member 2 to the side panel 1, reducing unnecessary material usage and effectively reducing the overall weight of the storage module. This reduction in material usage directly lowers production costs and enhances the product's market competitiveness.

[0031] The mounting fitting portion 5 includes an assembly cavity 7 provided on the fixing member 2 and a plug-in end 8 provided on the front and rear connecting components 4. The plug-in end 8 is installed on the assembly cavity 7, and the slide rail component 3 is positioned and installed between the inner side of the assembly cavity 7 and the plug-in end 8.

[0032] The mounting mating portion 5 provides a clear positioning reference for the installation of the slide rail assembly 3, improving assembly efficiency. The space formed by the inner side of the mounting cavity 7 and the plug end 8 provides a stable enclosure and position control for the slide rail assembly 3, preventing it from rocking up and down, left and right, or forward and backward during use, ensuring smooth and stable sliding of the slide rail assembly 3. This positioning installation method eliminates the need for complex connection structures, simplifies the assembly relationship between the slide rail assembly 3, the fixing member 2, and the front and rear connecting components 4, and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0033] The front and rear connecting components 4 include a front connecting member 9 and a rear connecting member 10 installed on the assembly cavity 7 and positioned with the slide rail component 3. The slide rail component 3 is installed on the assembly cavity 7 of the fixing member 2 through the front connecting member 9 and the rear connecting member 10 in an up-down and / or left-right and / or front-back positioning.

[0034] The front connector 9 and rear connector 10 position the rail assembly 3 from both front and rear positions, fully limiting its displacement in all directions. This ensures a more secure fit within the mounting cavity 7 of the fixture 2, preventing loosening or shifting due to vibration or stress during use. This ensures smooth sliding of the upper storage components through the rail assembly 3. Furthermore, the alignment of the front and rear connectors 9, 10 with the mounting cavity 7 further strengthens the connection between the fixture 2 and the front and rear connector assemblies 4, further stabilizing the suspended structure of the fixture 2 and enabling it to better support the weight of the rail assembly 3 and the upper storage components, ensuring the structural reliability of the entire storage module.

[0035] The front connecting member 9 and / or the rear connecting member 10 are provided with upper and lower positioning portions 11 for positioning the slide rail assembly 3 up and down.

[0036] The upper and lower positioning parts 11 can accurately limit the slide rail assembly 3 in the upper and lower directions, preventing the slide rail assembly 3 from moving up and down during use, and ensuring that the slide rail assembly 3 always remains in a preset position and works stably.

[0037] The front connecting member 9 and / or the rear connecting member 10 are provided with left and right positioning portions 12 for cooperating with the inner side of the assembly cavity 7 to position the slide rail assembly 3 left and right.

[0038] The left and right positioning parts 12 cooperate with the inner side of the assembly cavity 7 to effectively limit the movement of the slide rail assembly 3 in the left and right directions, ensure the accurate installation position of the slide rail assembly 3 on the fixing part 2, avoid left and right deviation, and prevent the upper storage part from colliding and rubbing with the inner side of the fixing part 2 during the sliding process, thereby reducing noise and component wear.

[0039] The front connecting member 9 and / or the rear connecting member 10 are provided with front and rear positioning portions 13 for positioning the slide rail assembly 3 front and rear.

[0040] The front and rear positioning parts 13 can accurately limit the slide rail assembly 3 in the front and rear directions, preventing the slide rail assembly 3 from moving back and forth during use, ensuring that the slide rail assembly 3 always remains in the preset position and works stably, and preventing the upper storage parts from moving back and forth following the slide rail assembly 3 during the drawer pulling process.
