Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bathroom cabinet, and more specifically, to a bathroom cabinet made of bamboo and its processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Bathroom vanities are primarily used for water supply and drainage during washing. A typical bathroom vanity includes a cabinet, faucet, and basin. Water is supplied through an external tap or hot water faucet, and wastewater is drained from the basin via a drain valve. It is an essential piece of furniture in the bathroom.

[0003] During the production of bathroom vanities, due to the high humidity and poor ventilation in the bathroom environment, ordinary bathroom vanities have poor waterproof performance. After prolonged use, they are prone to problems such as mold, swelling, and softening. In addition to producing odors, the structural strength of the bathroom vanity is also reduced, which can harm human health. To avoid these problems, workers usually apply waterproof coatings to the surface of the bathroom vanities during the production process and add fragrances to the inside of the vanities to prevent odors. However, the above technical measures are only achieved by adding extra materials in the raw materials or production process, which increases production costs. In addition, some waterproof coatings produce irritating odors when used, which can harm human health and cannot be used for a long time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bathroom cabinet made of bamboo material and its processing method, which is simple to process, has a large availability of raw materials, low production cost, and good waterproof performance of the finished product.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bathroom cabinet made of bamboo material, including a baffle and metal side panels disposed at both ends of the baffle. The baffle includes a plurality of parallel bamboo poles and an outer film covering the outer surface of the spliced ​​bamboo poles. The outer film is configured to be formed by splicing a plurality of bamboo skins. A sealing layer is filled at each splice of the bamboo poles. The sealing layer is configured to ensure the flatness of the baffle surface and the connection strength between the baffle and the outer film.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the baffle is a multi-layer structure, the baffle is formed by stacking and pressing at least two layers of bamboo poles, and the arrangement directions of adjacent bamboo poles are perpendicular or parallel to each other.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: in the outer coating, the thickness of the bamboo skin is 0.5mm-2mm, and a hot melt adhesive is provided at the connection between adjacent bamboo skins.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the bathroom cabinet is also provided with a countertop, the countertop including mounting holes on the periphery of the countertop and a mounting groove in the center of the countertop, the mounting groove being used to install a washbasin.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing layer is formed by curing epoxy resin or polyurethane adhesive.

[0010] This application also discloses a method for manufacturing a bathroom cabinet made of bamboo material, including the following steps: S1, raw material selection and pretreatment: select bamboo poles with uniform diameter as processing raw materials, dry and prevent insects from entering the processing raw materials, and cut the bamboo skin on the surface of the bamboo poles. After cutting, flatten the bamboo poles to form raw bamboo poles and raw bamboo skin. S2. Raw material splicing: Multiple treated bamboo poles are arranged in parallel, and adhesive is added to the joints of each bamboo pole. After the adhesive is added, the bamboo poles are spliced ​​together using a pressure device to form an assembly. S3. Sealing layer filling: Apply sealant to the surface of the assembly formed by splicing bamboo poles, so that the sealant fully fills the gaps between bamboo poles and the unevenness of the bamboo pole surface, and forms the inner board after curing. S4. Polish the surface of the inner panel to make it flat and smooth; S5. Bamboo skin splicing: Trim and apply glue to the edges of the cut bamboo skin, and splice the individual bamboo skins together to form an outer film. S6. Outer film bonding: Apply adhesive to the smoothed inner panel surface and then bond the assembled outer film together. After bonding, apply pressure and cure to form a baffle. S7. Component processing: Process the panels of each part of the bathroom cabinet in sequence according to the required dimensions of the finished product, and process the corresponding patterns on the outside of the panels as required. S8. Assemble the finished product: Install connectors on each panel and combine the panels with connectors to form the finished bathroom cabinet. During the assembly process, reserve the basin for installing faucets and washbasins in the bathroom cabinet. S9. Polish and apply a waterproof coating to the surface of the assembled bathroom cabinet. S10. Accessory Assembly: Install the faucet and washbasin in the pre-reserved slot of the bathroom cabinet. After installation, apply sealant to the connection between the faucet and the bathroom cabinet and the connection between the washbasin and the bathroom cabinet to ensure a tight connection.

[0011] Preferably, step S8 further includes processing the curved edge of the bathroom cabinet, including the following steps: S81, selecting bamboo poles of the corresponding diameter according to the size requirements of the bathroom cabinet; S82. Divide the bamboo pole into four equal parts along the center of the circle, and grind and bend the cut parts to make the arc angle meet the installation requirements and facilitate subsequent assembly. S83. Install a cut and polished arc-shaped bamboo pole at the bend of the bathroom cabinet. The arc-shaped bamboo pole is installed in a position that fits against the outer end face of the adjacent baffle, so that the edge of the bathroom cabinet has a curvature, and fills and seals the gap after installation.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the following beneficial effects are achieved: 1. This application improves the overall performance of the bathroom cabinet by setting a three-layer composite material for the baffle. Specifically, the internal basic structure of the baffle is formed by splicing several bamboo poles. The bamboo structure is sturdy and tough, providing a solid structural foundation for the bathroom cabinet. Moreover, bamboo resources are abundant and the growth cycle is short, which greatly reduces the cost of raw materials. After the bamboo poles are spliced, a sealing layer is filled at the splicing points to effectively fill the unavoidable depressions and gaps that appear at the top and bottom ends after the bamboo poles are spliced. It can also form a tight waterproof barrier on the surface, preventing water from penetrating into the main material. This solves the problems of mold, expansion, and softening that bathroom cabinets are prone to due to excessive humidity. After splicing and filling, bamboo skin is glued to the outer surface of the inner panel, giving the bathroom cabinet surface a bamboo texture and further ensuring the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the thickness of the bamboo skin is 0.5mm-2mm. Bamboo skin of this thickness has a green outer surface and a white inner surface. When patterns need to be processed, the outer surface can be removed to form exquisite patterns on the surface of the bathroom cabinet, improving the aesthetics of the finished product.

[0013] 2. Furthermore, in the process of processing the baffle, this application uses at least two layers of bamboo poles stacked and pressed together, and the arrangement direction of the bamboo poles can be adjusted to be vertical or parallel as needed. This further optimizes the stress performance of the bathroom cabinet in different directions, enhances the overall structural strength of the bathroom cabinet, strengthens its load-bearing capacity, and makes it less prone to deformation. In addition, by setting arc-shaped bamboo poles at the bends of the bathroom cabinet edges, it can prevent the right-angle edges of the bathroom cabinet from causing injury to the user, while also improving the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, when processing the arc-shaped edges, by selecting the same bamboo poles and dividing them into four equal parts, the consistency of the arc-shaped edges can be ensured. At the same time, by grinding the edges of the bamboo poles after dividing them into four equal parts, the difficulty of subsequent splicing is reduced. Furthermore, after the arc-shaped edges are installed, gaps will inevitably appear between the two ends of the arc-shaped bamboo poles and the splicing surface of the bathroom cabinet. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the gaps to enhance the sealing performance of the bathroom cabinet. The method for filling the gaps is: peeling and cutting a new bamboo pole to form several flexible bamboo strips of uniform size. Flexible bamboo strips are spliced ​​and woven together to form sheets with corresponding patterns; A sealant is applied to the surface of the molded sheet, and after drying, it is spliced ​​with the empty part of the bathroom cabinet to fill the gap.

[0014] 3. Furthermore, the processing method of this application involves pre-treating the bamboo poles. After the bamboo poles are spliced, a smooth inner board is formed by adding sealant and sanding. An outer film is then bonded to the surface of the inner board. The overall process is streamlined. Moreover, in the selection of raw materials, the bamboo poles used are of similar diameter, ensuring the consistency of the formed baffle. The outer film is obtained by directly cutting the bamboo skin on the outside of the bamboo pole, effectively realizing material recycling and reducing resource waste. Simultaneously, the bamboo pole splicing process only requires physical pressure and surface sanding. Waterproofing is achieved by applying sealant and ensuring a waterproof seal after the sealant dries, eliminating the need for chemical treatment processes, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality stability, and exhibiting good overall environmental friendliness.

[0015] 4. Furthermore, to improve the waterproof performance of the finished bathroom cabinet, the bamboo poles are pre-dried and treated against insects, enhancing the weather resistance of the inner panel material. After splicing, a sealing layer formed by epoxy resin or polyurethane adhesive fills the gaps between the bamboo poles, creating a smooth surface and forming a dense waterproof layer on the inner panel surface. This effectively blocks the path of moisture penetration along the capillary tubes of the bamboo fibers. Simultaneously, an outer film is bonded to the outer surface of the inner panel, further improving the overall waterproof performance. Additionally, when installing the faucet and sink, sealant is applied to the joints to create a high-strength seal at the water inlet and outlet. These features ensure that the bathroom cabinet remains dry inside even in poorly ventilated, high-humidity bathroom environments, preventing odors and moisture damage to stored items, thus improving overall usability and product lifespan.

[0020] A bathroom cabinet made of bamboo includes a baffle 1 and metal side panels 2 disposed at both ends of the baffle 1. The baffle 1 includes a plurality of parallel bamboo poles 3 and an outer film 4 covering the outer surface of the spliced ​​bamboo poles 3.

After installation, apply sealant to the connection between the faucet and the bathroom cabinet and the connection between the washbasin and the bathroom cabinet to ensure a tight connection.

[0026] Preferably, step S8 further includes processing the curved edge of the bathroom cabinet, including the following steps: S81, selecting bamboo poles of the corresponding diameter according to the size requirements of the bathroom cabinet; S82. Divide the bamboo pole into four equal parts along the center of the circle, and grind and bend the cut parts to make the arc angle meet the installation requirements and facilitate subsequent assembly. S83. Install a cut and polished arc-shaped bamboo pole at the bend of the bathroom cabinet. The arc-shaped bamboo pole is installed in a position that fits against the outer end face of the adjacent baffle, so that the edge of the bathroom cabinet has a curvature, and fills and seals the gap after installation.

[0027] This application improves the overall performance of the bathroom cabinet by incorporating a three-layer composite material into the baffle 1. Specifically, the internal basic structure of the baffle 1 is formed by splicing several bamboo poles 3. The bamboo structure is sturdy and tough, providing a solid structural foundation for the bathroom cabinet. Moreover, bamboo resources are abundant and have a short growth cycle, significantly reducing the cost of raw materials. After the bamboo poles are spliced, a sealing layer 5 is filled at the splicing points of the bamboo poles 3. This effectively fills the unavoidable depressions and gaps that appear at the top and bottom ends after the bamboo poles 3 are spliced, and forms a tight waterproof barrier on the surface, preventing moisture from penetrating into the main material. This solves the problems of mold, swelling, and softening that bathroom cabinets are prone to due to excessive humidity. After splicing and filling, bamboo skin is glued to the outer surface of the inner panel, giving the bathroom cabinet a bamboo texture and further ensuring the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the thickness of the bamboo skin is 0.5mm-2mm. Bamboo skin of this thickness has a green outer surface and a white inner surface. When patterns are required, the outer surface can be removed to form exquisite patterns on the surface of the bathroom cabinet, enhancing the aesthetics of the finished product.

[0028] Furthermore, in the process of processing the baffle 1, this application uses at least two layers of bamboo poles 3 stacked and pressed together, and the arrangement direction of the bamboo poles 3 can be adjusted to be vertical or parallel as needed, further optimizing the stress performance of the bathroom cabinet in different directions, enhancing the overall structural strength of the bathroom cabinet, increasing its load-bearing capacity, and making it less prone to deformation.

Flexible bamboo strips are spliced ​​and woven together to form sheets with corresponding patterns; A sealant is applied to the surface of the molded sheet, and after drying, it is spliced ​​with the empty part of the bathroom cabinet to fill the gap.

[0029] Meanwhile, the processing method of this application pre-treats the bamboo poles 3. After the bamboo poles 3 are spliced, a horizontal inner board is formed by adding sealant and sanding. Then, an outer film 4 is glued to the surface of the inner board. The overall process is smooth. Furthermore, in the process of selecting raw materials, the selected bamboo poles 3 have similar diameters, which ensures the consistency of the baffle 1 after molding. The outer film 4 is obtained by directly cutting the bamboo skin on the outside of the bamboo poles 3, which effectively realizes the recycling of materials and reduces the waste of resources. At the same time, only physical pressure and surface sanding are required during the splicing of bamboo poles 3. Waterproofing is achieved by applying sealant and sealing after the sealant dries. No chemical treatment process is required, which reduces the production cost. While improving production efficiency, it ensures the stability of product quality and has good overall environmental protection.

Furthermore, to improve the waterproof performance of the finished bathroom cabinet, the bamboo poles 3 are pre-dried and pre-treated against insects, enhancing the weather resistance of the inner panel material. After splicing, a sealing layer 5 formed by epoxy resin or polyurethane adhesive fills the gaps between the bamboo poles 3, creating a smooth surface and forming a dense waterproof layer on the inner panel surface.
