Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically to a wardrobe with an expandable structure. Background Technology
[0002] A wardrobe is a cabinet for storing clothes. It is usually made of stainless steel, solid wood, tempered glass, and hardware accessories. It generally consists of a cabinet body, door panels, silent wheels, and door curtains, and includes accessories such as hanging rods, trouser racks, pull-out baskets, and disinfection lamps.
[0003] Using processes such as punching, assembly, riveting, and welding, it has the advantages of flame retardancy, rodent prevention, seamless cockroach prevention, dust prevention, insect prevention, moisture prevention, cleanliness and beauty, and easy movement. In modern society, people are increasingly pursuing the rational use of space, and various furniture has begun to have the characteristics of being foldable or easy to store.
[0004] However, most current wardrobes are assembled with a fixed structure, which cannot expand the internal space of the wardrobe and cannot meet current needs. Expansion refers to increasing the internal space of the original equipment, which is significantly different from simply adding drawers to the cabinet, because before the drawer is pulled out of the cabinet, it has already occupied the corresponding space inside the cabinet, and the total space size has not increased. In view of this, we propose a wardrobe with an expandable structure. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a wardrobe with an expandable structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This wardrobe with an expandable structure is designed to better expand the wardrobe's capacity and make better use of space. It is equipped with an expansion mechanism. When the pull rod is pulled, the movable panel slides out of the wardrobe body in the flat groove. When the pull rod contacts an arc-shaped magnet located near the outside of the wardrobe body, it stops moving. Thus, items can be placed on the movable panel, and its left and right movement will not affect the items placed on the panel, thereby achieving the effect of expanding the capacity.
[0017] 2. This expandable wardrobe is equipped with a lifting mechanism to allow for ventilation of the clothes inside while preventing dust accumulation. When the moving plate moves outward, it works with two hinge blocks and a connecting rod to pull the long block downward. At the same time, two sliders slide downward in the slide rail, which in turn moves the dustproof plate downward. This allows for ventilation through the ventilation groove while preventing dust from falling onto the clothes when the wardrobe door is opened.
[0018] 3. This wardrobe with an expandable structure, in order to better utilize the expanded space, is equipped with a sliding component. When the cylinder is pulled down, the inclined block stops engaging with the hinge block, and at the same time, the spring is compressed and deformed. As a result, the two hinge blocks slide inward on the outer wall of the long block and the moving plate. When they move to the inclined block on the inner side, they are engaged and fixed again. This allows the connecting rod to move inward, making the top space of the moving plate larger and unobstructed by the connecting rod, so that more items can be placed. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a wardrobe with an expandable structure, including a cabinet body 1, with base posts 2 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet body 1, cabinet doors 4 hinged to the left and right side walls of the front of the cabinet body 1 by hinges 3, a top seat 5 fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet body 1, a drawer 6 fixedly installed at the bottom inside the cabinet body 1, and a mirror 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inner side of the left cabinet door 4, which allows for convenient opening of the cabinet door 4 to try on clothes and look in the mirror 7, saving indoor space. An expansion mechanism 8 and a lifting mechanism 9 are respectively provided inside and outside the cabinet body 1.
[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the expansion mechanism 8 includes a partition 81. The outer wall of the partition 81 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cabinet 1. A flat groove 82 is provided on the left and right side walls of the partition 81. The outer wall of the bottom horizontal section of the moving plate 83 is slidably connected inside the flat groove 82. The inner outer wall of the vertical section of the moving plate 83 slides against the inner side wall of the cabinet 1. When expansion is required, pulling the lever 84 can drive the moving plate 83 to slide out of the cabinet 1 within the flat groove 82. When the lever 84 contacts an arc-shaped magnet 86 located near the outer side of the cabinet 1, it will stop moving. The bottom end of the moving plate 83 facing the center of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to the lever 84. A long groove 85 is provided at the bottom central axis of the partition 81. The arc-shaped outer wall of the lever 84 slides against the inside of the long groove 85. Two sets of flat grooves 82, moving plates 83, levers 84, and long grooves 85 are provided, and all are mirrored with the vertical centerline of the cabinet 1 as the mirror axis. The pull rod 84 is made of iron so that it can be attracted and fixed to the arc-shaped magnet 86. The thickness of the flat groove 82 is adapted to the thickness of the horizontal section of the movable plate 83. The width of the long groove 85 is adapted to the outer diameter of the pull rod 84. Arc-shaped magnets 86 are fixedly installed at both ends of each long groove 85, and the two are mirror images of each other. The top of the arc-shaped magnet 86 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition 81. The arc-shaped outer wall of the arc-shaped magnet 86 fits the arc-shaped outer wall of the pull rod 84. The bottom of the left and right side walls of the movable plate 83 is provided with a slot 87. The slot 87 slides to connect the upper half of the outer wall of the partition 81. The left and right side walls of the cabinet 1 are provided with rectangular through holes 88. The rectangular through holes 88 coincide with the projection of the left and right side walls of the movable plate 83. When the movable plate 83 is pulled out, items can be placed on its top, and its left and right movement will not affect the items placed on the partition 81, thus achieving the effect of expanding the capacity.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 9 includes a slide rail 91. The slide rail 91 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top seat 5 in the left and right directions. A slider 92 is slidably installed inside the slide rail 91. Two sets of slide rails 91 and sliders 92 are provided and mirrored with the vertical center line of the rectangular through hole 88 as the mirror axis, so as to make the dustproof plate 97 move up and down more stably. The top of the left and right side wall of the moving plate 83 is provided with a through groove 93. The outer wall of the top of the left and right side wall of the moving plate 83 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the hinge block 94. The bottom end of the hinge block 94 slides against the inside of the groove 93. The top end of the hinge block 94 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 95. When the moving plate 83 moves outward, one of the hinge blocks 94 at the bottom end will drive the bottom end of the connecting rod 95 to move away from the cabinet 1, so that the top hinge block 94 drives the top end of the connecting rod 95 to move downward. The two ends of the long strip block 96 are fixedly connected between the side walls of the two sliders 92. The top of the long strip block 96 is also provided with a through groove 87 and a hinge block is slidably connected thereto. 94. The hinge block 94 on the outer side of the long strip 96 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 95, which will pull the long strip 96 downward. At the same time, the two sliders 92 also slide downward in the slide rail 91. The bottom of the long strip 96 is fixedly connected to the top of the dustproof plate 97. The side wall of the dustproof plate 97 slides against the side wall of the cabinet 1. The side wall of the dustproof plate 97 is provided with ventilation grooves 98. There are multiple sets of ventilation grooves 98 in a vertical linear array at equal intervals, which can drive the dustproof plate 97 to move downward, thereby allowing air to pass through. The ventilation groove 98 allows for ventilation while preventing dust from settling on clothes when the cabinet door 4 is opened. Conversely, when the pull rod 84 is pulled inward, an arc-shaped magnet 86 that has moved to the inside will stop moving. A rectangular block 99 that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1 is set in the rectangular through hole 88. The projection of the rectangular block 99 coincides with the rectangular notch at the top of the left and right side wall of the movable plate 83. Thus, the movable plate 83, together with the rectangular block 99, can seal the rectangular through hole 88, achieving the effect of dust prevention.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sliding assembly 10 is provided on the outer side of the cabinet 1. A circular hole 101 is provided at the top of the elongated block 96, and a through hole 102 is provided at the bottom of the elongated block 96. The circular hole 101 and the through hole 102 are coaxial, and the diameter of the circular hole 101 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 102. A cylinder 103 is slidably sleeved on the arc-shaped inner wall of the through hole 102. A spring 104 is sleeved on the outer side of the cylinder 103. An inclined block 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 103. The bottom of the spring 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elongated block 96 inside the circular hole 101, and the top of the spring 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inclined block 105. The sliding assembly 10 is provided in two sets, and the circular hole 101 of one set is opened in the middle of the elongated block 96, and the circular hole 101 of the other set is opened in the middle of the elongated block 96. One end of the inner side of the strip 96, the outer wall of the inclined surface of the inclined block 105 faces the hinge block 94. When the cylinder 103 is pulled down, the inclined block 105 stops engaging with the hinge block 94. At the same time, the spring 104 is compressed and deformed, so that the two hinge blocks 94 slide inward on the outer wall of the strip 96 and the moving plate 83 respectively. When they move to the inner inclined block 105, the hinge block 94 is engaged and fixed again, so that the connecting rod 95 moves inward, which makes the top space of the moving plate 83 larger and thus not blocked by the connecting rod 95, so that more items can be placed. The expansion mechanism 8, the lifting mechanism 9 and the sliding component 10 are provided in two sets, and they are all mirrored on the left and right outer walls of the cabinet 1 with the vertical center line of the cabinet 1 as the mirror axis.
[0033] Working principle: When expansion is needed, pulling the lever 84 causes the movable plate 83 to slide out of the cabinet 1 within the flat groove 82. When the lever 84 contacts an arc-shaped magnet 86 located near the outer side of the cabinet 1, it stops moving, allowing items to be placed on the movable plate 83. Its left and right movement does not affect items placed on the partition 81, thus achieving the expansion effect. As the movable plate 83 moves outward, a hinge block 94 at the bottom causes the bottom of the connecting rod 95 to move away from the cabinet 1. This causes the hinge block 94 at the top to move the top of the connecting rod 95 downward, pulling the long strip 96 downward. Simultaneously, the two sliders 92 slide downward within the slide rail 91, causing the dustproof plate 97 to move downward, thus allowing ventilation through the ventilated inclined groove. While allowing ventilation, the 98 also prevents dust from settling on clothes when the cabinet door 4 is opened for ventilation. Conversely, when the pull rod 84 is pulled inward, an arc-shaped magnet block 86 that has moved to the inside will stop moving. Thus, the moving plate 83, together with the rectangular block 99, can seal the rectangular through hole 88, achieving a dustproof effect. When the cylinder 103 is pulled down, the inclined block 105 stops engaging with the hinge block 94. At the same time, the spring 104 is compressed and deformed, so that the two hinge blocks 94 slide inward on the outer wall of the long block 96 and the moving plate 83. When they move to the inclined block 105 on the inside, the hinge block 94 is engaged and fixed again. Thus, the connecting rod 95 moves inward, which makes the top space of the moving plate 83 larger, so that it is not blocked by the connecting rod 95 and can hold more items.
[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
