Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of home furnishings, and more specifically, to a cabinet connector and a cabinet. Background Art
[0002] Standard cup hinges are widely used in the furniture industry, such as doors and windows, wardrobes and cabinets. Standard cup hinges can connect cabinet doors to cabinet bodies and allow cabinet doors to be opened and closed within a certain angle relative to the cabinet body. Standard cup hinges, also known as hinges, are a mechanical device used to connect two solid objects and allow the two solid objects to rotate relative to each other. The opening and closing angles of standard cup hinges are commonly 90°, 125°, 165°, and 180°. However, when furniture and cabinets use alloy-edged door panels, the alloy edge finishing process used for cabinet doors with alloy edges will cause the side of the cabinet door connected to the cabinet body to bulge toward the cabinet body, relative to non-alloy-edged door panels. At this time, if the alloy-edged door panels are installed with standard cup hinges, the hinge arm and the edge of the alloy-edged door panels will be stuck, causing the door panel opening angle to be less than 90°, which cannot reach the minimum opening and closing angle for daily retrieval, seriously affecting the user experience and the normal use of other hardware in the cabinet.
[0003] The application document with Chinese patent document number CN210977001U disclosed a furniture hinge height-increasing structure on July 1, 2020, including a fixed base, a gasket that is snap-fitted with the fixed base, a detachable connecting arm snapped on the surface of the fixed base, a rocker assembly provided on the connecting arm, and a hinge cup hinged through the rocker assembly. It is said that this structure can increase the assembly height of the furniture hinge without changing the original structure of the furniture hinge, so as to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art that users can only equip fixed sockets of various height sizes. However, this structure is a height-increasing structure set between the cabinet and the connecting arm, the purpose of which is to meet the user's needs for different assembly heights of the fixed base and the furniture cabinet. How to reduce the jamming problem of the alloy edge-banded door panel and the cabinet is not involved. Therefore, how to improve the existing furniture hinge structure to achieve the opening of the alloy edge-banded door panel at not less than 90° relative to the cabinet has become one of the technical problems that need to be solved at this stage.
