Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of drawer installation, and more specifically to a front connection and fixing structure for a drawer panel. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese invention patent publication number CN221635337U discloses a drawer locking and unlocking mechanism, which includes a connector, a positioning member installed in the side panel, and a movable locking member elastically disposed on the positioning member. After the connector is fixedly connected to the drawer panel by screws, the movable locking member locks the connector to complete the assembly between the drawer panel and the side panel. The connector has longitudinal extensions with fixing holes for inserting screws at the upper and lower parts.

[0003] The screw fixing holes on the connector are only located on the longitudinal extensions at the top and bottom ends. Since the hole positions are fixed, when installing a different style of drawer panel, if the opening position of the panel cannot be aligned with these fixing holes, the connector cannot be effectively installed on that panel. Furthermore, because the longitudinal extensions are also located inside the side panel cavity, their extension position cannot be set too large, resulting in an insufficient contact area between the connector and the drawer panel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a front connection fixing structure for a drawer panel, wherein the lateral extension of the bent part is provided with a fixing part for connecting fasteners, which effectively increases the contact area between the connector and the drawer panel.

[0005] A front connection fixing structure for a drawer panel designed for this purpose includes a connector, the side of which is bent to form a bent member, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connector, and the other end of which extends laterally along the outside of the connector. The laterally extended section of the bent member is provided with a fixing part for connecting fasteners.

[0006] The front end face of the bent part has a positioning abutment, and the rear end of the connector has a locking part for fixing to an external component.

[0007] The bent part is provided with a countersunk groove for positioning the head of the fastener, and the countersunk groove is correspondingly provided with the fixing part.

[0008] The upper and / or lower parts of the bent component extend along the longitudinal direction of the connector to increase the contact area of ​​the front end of the bent component.

[0009] The connector is provided with an adjusting component, which is in a transmission engagement with the connector. During the adjustment process, the adjusting component drives the connector to move relative to the adjusting component.

[0010] The connector is provided with a mounting part, and the adjusting part is provided with a connecting section, which is rotatably connected to the mounting part.

[0011] The connector is also provided with an installation component, and the adjusting component is rotatably connected to the connector and positioned between the connector and the installation component.

[0012] The fixing part is one or more. When there are two or more fixing parts, the two or more fixing parts are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the bent part.

[0013] The lateral extension of the bent piece is fixedly connected to the drawer panel by fasteners. The drawer panel has a side plate on its side. The rear end of the connector is fixed in the corresponding side plate. The side plate has a clearance groove corresponding to the lateral extension of the bent piece. The lateral extension of the bent piece extends out of the side plate along the clearance groove.

[0014] The drawer panel and each side panel form a drawer cavity, and the lateral extension of the bent part extends out along the clearance groove of the side panel and is located inside or outside the drawer cavity.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] See Figures 1-8 A front connection fixing structure for a drawer panel includes a connector 1, the side of the connector 1 is bent to form a bent part 101, one end of the bent part 101 is fixedly connected to the connector 1, the other end of the bent part 101 extends laterally along the outside of the connector 1, and a fixing part 102 for connecting fasteners is provided on the laterally extended section of the bent part 101.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connector 1 and the bending member 101 are integrally bent. The bending member 101 formed by bending the side of the connector 1 extends laterally outward. A fixing part 102 is provided on its laterally extended section. The fixing part 102 is a fixing hole for inserting screws. The position of the fixing part 102 on the laterally extended section of the bending member 101 corresponds to the hole position of the drawer panel 5. This structure extends the fastener connection position from the body of the connector 1 to its side extension area. At the same time, the laterally extended section of the bending member 101 is no longer limited to the side plate 6, so as to increase the contact area between the connector 1 and the drawer panel 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connector 1 and the bending member 101 are both made of metal. The outward lateral extension of the bending member 101 can increase the strength of the connector 1.

[0028] The front end face of the bent member 101 is provided with a positioning abutment 104, and the rear end of the connector 1 is provided with a locking part 103 for fixing to the external component 2.

[0029] In one embodiment, the external component 2 is fixedly installed inside the side panel 6. The front end abutment portion 104 of the bent component 101 is attached to the drawer panel 5. The lateral extension of the bent component 101 is fixed to the drawer panel 5 by screws. After the rear end of the connecting component 1 is inserted into the side panel 6, its locking portion 103 is locked by the movable locking member of the external component 2, thereby fixing the connecting component 1 to the side panel 6. The structure of the external component 2 is prior art. This embodiment does not improve the external component 2, so it will not be described in detail here. Its specific structure can be found in the background art, Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN221635337U, which discloses a drawer locking and unlocking mechanism.

[0030] In another embodiment, the rear end of the connector 1 can also be directly fastened to the side plate 6 by screws.

[0031] The bent member 101 is provided with a countersunk groove 106 for positioning the head of the fastener, and the countersunk groove 106 is correspondingly provided with the fixing part 102. The head of the fastener does not protrude from the lateral extension section of the bent member 101.

[0032] The recess 106 accommodates the fastener head so that it does not protrude from the surface of the lateral extension of the bent part 101, maintaining the flatness of the outer surface of the bent part 101. When the lateral extension of the bent part 101 is located inside the drawer cavity 7, the fastener head will not occupy too much of the internal space of the drawer cavity 7.

[0033] The upper and / or lower parts of the bending member 101 extend along the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 to increase the contact area of ​​the front end of the bending member 101.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper and lower parts of the bent member 101 extend longitudinally along the connector 1, and this extension structure increases the contact area between the front end of the bent member 101 and the drawer panel 5. In addition, a fixing hole for mounting screws is provided on the longitudinal extension section to adapt to the preset fixing hole of the original drawer panel. The size design of the longitudinal extension section can extend out of the side panel 6 or be located inside the side panel 6.

[0035] The connector 1 is provided with an adjusting member 3, which is in transmission cooperation with the connector 1. During the adjustment process, the adjusting member 3 drives the connector 1 to move relative to the adjusting member 3.

[0036] The connector 1 has a mounting part 105, and the adjusting part 3 has a connecting section 301, which is rotatably connected to the mounting part 105. The mounting part 105 is a mounting hole with internal threads, and the connecting section 301 is inserted into the mounting part 105 and threadedly engaged with it. When the drawer panel 5 and the side panel 6 are fixedly installed, the adjusting part 3 is an adjusting screw, and the connector 1 is inserted into the fixing groove 201 of the external component 2. The adjusting part 3 is axially limited in the left and right direction within the fixing groove 201. The outer surface of the fixing groove 201 has a clearance corresponding to the head of the adjusting part 3, allowing an adjusting tool to be inserted into the head of the adjusting part 3 to drive its rotation. When the adjusting part 3 rotates, it only rotates circumferentially, and the connector 1 moves axially along the left and right direction of the connecting section 301, thereby causing the drawer panel 5 to move left and right relative to the side panel 6.

[0037] The connector 1 is also provided with a mounting part 4, and the adjusting part 3 is rotatably connected to the connector 1 and positioned between the connector 1 and the mounting part 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connector 1 and the mounting member 4 are fixedly connected by rivets. The locking part 103 protrudes from the inner side of the connector 1 and is located in the groove 107 between the connector 1 and the mounting member 4. The rivets pass through the connector 1 and the mounting member 4 and avoid the rotation path of the adjusting member 3. The adjusting member 3 is clamped between the connector 1 and the mounting member 4 and can rotate freely.

[0039] The fixing part 102 is provided in one or more parts. When there are two or more fixing parts 102, the two or more fixing parts 102 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the bent member 101. The two or more fixing parts 102 are arranged vertically at intervals along the transverse extension section, which increases the number of fixing screws compared to a single fixing part and improves the stability of the fixed connection.

[0040] The lateral extension of the bent piece 101 is fixedly connected to the drawer panel 5 by fasteners. The drawer panel 5 has a side plate 6 on its side. The rear end of the connector 1 is fixed in the corresponding side plate 6. The side plate 6 has a relief groove 601 corresponding to the lateral extension of the bent piece 101. The lateral extension of the bent piece 101 extends out of the side plate 6 along the relief groove 601.

[0041] The drawer panel 5 and each side panel 6 form a drawer cavity 7. The lateral extension of the bent member 101 extends along the clearance groove 601 of the side panel 6 and is located inside or outside the drawer cavity 7.

[0042] When the lateral extension of the bent piece 101 is located outside the drawer cavity 7, it does not occupy the internal space of the drawer cavity 7; when the lateral extension of the bent piece 101 is located inside the drawer cavity 7, the bent piece 101 does not occupy the space between the outer side of the side panel 6 and the inner side of the cabinet. This space only needs to meet the normal clearance required for the drawer to push and pull. The clearance groove 601 of the side panel 6 is used to accommodate the thickness of the bent piece 101 and prevent the front end of the bent piece 101 from protruding outward.

[0043] The bent component 101 is partially located within the clearance groove 601, and the front end face of the bent component 101 and its lateral extension is flush with the front end face of the side panel 6. This ensures that the bent component 101 does not protrude beyond the front end face of the side panel 6, and after the drawer panel 5 is installed, its inner surface directly adheres to the front end face of the side panel 6, avoiding a large assembly gap between the panel and the side panel 6 due to the protrusion of the bent component 101.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
