[0042] Interconnected wiring troughs 110 are formed within the trim 104 and at least one leg 102. These troughs 110 provide concealed routing space for cables 112, preventing them from becoming disorganized. Cables 112 are routed within the troughs 110 and electrically connected to the control buttons 108. This design allows for an organized layout of cables 112, facilitating maintenance and replacement while also ensuring the proper functioning of the control buttons 108.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a key slot 116 is provided on the decorative strip 104;

[0044] The control buttons 108 include:

[0045] The button seat 118 is installed in the button slot 116, and the button seat 118 is provided with a mounting slot 120;

[0046] The button body 122 is disposed in the mounting slot 120;

[0047] The button panel 124 is disposed in the notch of the mounting slot 120 and connected to the button body 122 .

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present invention, the decorative strip 104 serves as a carrier for the control button 108 and is provided with a specific button slot 116. The button slot 116 not only provides space for the installation of the control button 108, but also ensures the stability and position accuracy of the button after installation.

[0049] The control buttons 108 consist of three main components: a button holder 118, the case body, and a button panel 124. The button holder 118 is the base of the control buttons 108 and is securely mounted within the button slot 116 of the trim 104. The button holder 118 ensures the buttons are stably fixed to the trim 104. It also includes a mounting slot 120, which provides space for the button body 122. The button body 122 receives user commands, such as presses or touches. The button body 122 is mounted within the mounting slot 120 of the button holder 118, ensuring a tight connection with the case body 122, forming a stable, integrated whole. The button panel 124, the part that the user directly interacts with, is located within the notch of the mounting slot 120 and is connected to the button body 122. The design of the button panel 124 takes both aesthetics and ease of operation into account, ensuring a pleasant user experience when pressing or touching the buttons.

[0050] It can be understood that through the combination of the above structures, since the button seat 118 is firmly installed in the button groove 116 of the decorative strip 104, the entire control button 108 structure is stable and not easy to shake or fall off, thereby improving the accuracy of user operation. The design of the button panel 124 fully takes into account the user's usage habits, allowing users to easily operate when pressing or touching, improving the convenience of use. The combination of the decorative strip 104 and the control button 108 not only makes the overall structure look more beautiful, but also improves the overall texture of the product. In addition, since each part of the control button 108 adopts a modular design, it can be easily disassembled and installed when maintenance or replacement is required, reducing maintenance costs.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a first gap is formed between the button seat 118 and the button slot 116 , and the first gap forms the wiring slot 110 in the decorative strip 104 .

[0052] See also Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present invention, the button seat 118 and the button slot 116 are not completely fitted together after installation, but a specific space is formed between them, which is the first gap mentioned above.

[0053] The first gap plays a dual role in practical applications. First, it serves as a buffer area between the key seat 118 and the key slot 116, allowing the key seat 118 a certain degree of freedom during installation, thereby ensuring that the key seat 118 can be smoothly installed in the key slot 116. At the same time, it can also absorb minor deformations caused by manufacturing tolerances or during use, thereby maintaining the stability of the key seat 118.

[0054] Secondly, the first gap can be used as a wiring groove 110 in the decorative strip 104, which not only meets the wiring requirements but also avoids the trouble of opening an additional wiring groove 110.

[0055] Due to the presence of the first gap, the key base 118 can enter the key slot 116 more smoothly during installation, reducing installation difficulty and improving production efficiency. Moreover, the first gap acts as a buffer area to absorb minor deformation caused by manufacturing tolerances or during use, thereby maintaining the stability of the key base 118 and extending the product life.

[0056] More importantly, using the first gap as a cable routing trough 110 not only simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs, but also maintains the overall aesthetics of the product. This design also makes the layout of the cables 112 more flexible and convenient. When the button holder 118 needs to be repaired or replaced, the presence of the first gap makes removal and installation easier, reducing maintenance difficulty and costs.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a guard plate 126 is provided on the side of the leg 102 facing the shelf panel 114 , and a second gap is formed between the guard plate 126 and the leg 102 , and the second gap forms the wiring groove 110 in the leg 102 .

[0058] See also Figure 2 A guard plate 126 is provided on one side of the leg 102 facing the shelf panel 114. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the leg 102, but also facilitates the arrangement of the cable 112. A specific space is formed between the guard plate 126 and the leg 102, which is the second gap mentioned above.

[0059] The design of the cable trough 110 takes into account the layout requirements of the cables 112, allowing the cables 112 to pass through the legs 102 in an orderly manner and connect to the shelf panel 114 or other components. This arrangement not only simplifies the arrangement process of the cables 112, but also improves the aesthetics and neatness of the overall structure.

[0060] It is understandable that the use of the second gap between the support leg 102 and the guard plate 126 as the wiring trough 110 makes the arrangement of the cables 112 more orderly and neat, avoids the situation where the cables 112 are in a mess, and improves the overall aesthetics of the product. The provision of the wiring trough 110 makes the installation and replacement of the cables 112 easier and faster, reducing maintenance costs and time costs. At the same time, it also facilitates subsequent maintenance and inspection work. Moreover, the provision of the guard plate 126 not only protects the support leg 102 from direct impact and damage from the outside world, but also enhances the overall structural strength of the support leg 102, and improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelf. The design of the combination of the support leg 102 and the guard plate 126 has high versatility and flexibility, and can adapt to the requirements of shelf panels 114 and cables 112 of different specifications and types, providing convenience for various application scenarios.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cover plate 128 is further provided at one end of the support leg 102 facing the connecting rod 106 , and the cover plate 128 is detachably connected to the guard plate 126 .

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 128 is added to the end of the leg 102 facing the connecting rod 106. The cover plate 128 cooperates with the guard plate 126 mentioned above and together constitutes an important part of the leg 102. The cover plate 128 and the guard plate 126 are connected in a detachable manner, allowing the cover plate 128 to be easily connected to or removed from the guard plate 126. The detachable connection mentioned here can be a bolt connection, a snap connection, or other form of detachable connection to ensure the stability and easy replacement of the cover plate 128.

[0063] The provision of the cover plate 128 not only enhances the structural integrity of the leg 102, but also provides additional protection for the space inside the leg 102. When the cover plate 128 and the guard plate 126 are tightly combined, they together form a relatively closed space, which helps prevent condensation or debris from entering the wiring duct 110 inside the leg 102, thereby protecting the internal structure of the leg 102 and the safety of the cables 112.

[0064] As can be appreciated, the combination of cover plate 128 and guard plate 126 makes the structure of leg 102 more complete and robust, capable of withstanding greater external forces and pressures, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the overall structure. Since cover plate 128 is removable, when repairing or replacing cables 112 or components within leg 102 is necessary, cover plate 128 can be easily removed, performed, and then reinstalled, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. Furthermore, the design of cover plate 128 enhances the appearance of leg 102 by making it neater and more aesthetically pleasing, improving the overall visual quality of the product.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a fixing buckle 130 for fixing the cable 112 is formed in the wiring groove 110 in the leg 102 .

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, a fixing buckle 130 is added to the interior of the cable trough 110 to securely clamp the cable 112 and prevent it from sliding or shaking within the trough 110. The fixing buckle 130 can take various forms, such as an elastic buckle, a cable tie, or other fastening device. This arrangement not only takes into account the need to secure the cable 112, but also fully considers the convenience of replacing and maintaining the cable 112. The design of the fixing buckle 130 allows the cable 112 to be easily removed and reinstalled when necessary without damaging the cable 112 or the cable trough 110 itself.

[0067] That is, the fixing buckle 130 can firmly clamp the cable 112, preventing the cable 112 from sliding or shaking in the cable trough 110, thereby ensuring the stability of the cable 112 and the reliability of the connection. The fixing buckle 130 can fix the cable 112, avoid damage to the cable 112 caused by friction or compression inside the leg 102, and extend the service life of the cable 112.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the shelf panel 114 includes:

[0069] The first frames 132 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first frames 132 are respectively in contact with the pair of legs 102;

[0070] A second frame 134 , where both ends of the second frame 134 are connected to the pair of first frames 132 and the second frame 134 abuts against the decorative strip 104 ;

[0071] A third frame 136 , where both ends of the third frame 136 are connected to the pair of first frames 132 and the third frame 136 abuts against the connecting rod 106 ;

[0072] The shelf body 138 is located in a frame structure formed by a pair of first side frames 132 , a second side frame 134 , and a third side frame 136 .

[0073] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first frames 132 are provided in pairs, one on each opposite side of the shelf panel 114. The first frames 132 are tightly abutted against the pair of legs 102. This design not only provides a stable support for the shelf panel 114, but also ensures a tight and seamless connection between the shelf panel 114 and the legs 102.

[0074] The second frame 134 is located on one side of the shelf panel 114, and its two ends are respectively connected to the pair of first frames 132. It is worth noting that the second frame 134 also abuts against the decorative strip 104. This design not only enhances the structural stability of the shelf panel 114, but also makes the appearance of the entire shelf more coordinated and unified.

[0075] The third frame 136 is located on the other side of the shelf panel 114. Its structure is similar to that of the second frame 134, and its ends are also connected to the pair of first frames 132. However, unlike the second frame 134, the third frame 136 abuts against the connecting rod 106. This design not only further enhances the stability of the shelf panel 114, but also makes the entire shelf structure more compact and complete.

[0076] The shelf body 138 is placed in a frame structure formed by a pair of first frames 132, a second frame 134 and a third frame 136. This design not only ensures the stable placement of the shelf body 138, but also makes the entire shelf structure more reasonable and beautiful.

[0077] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the first frame 132 and the legs 102, the second frame 134 and the decorative strip 104, and the third frame 136 and the connecting rod 106 can be tightly connected, making the entire shelf structure stable and reliable, and able to withstand large weights and impact forces. The design of the shelf panel 114 makes the appearance of the entire shelf more coordinated and unified. For example, the color and material of the shelf body 138 can be replaced, which can present a strong aesthetic appearance. Since the various components of the shelf panel 114 are modular in design, they can be assembled conveniently and quickly during installation, reducing the difficulty and time cost of installation. The design of the shelf panel 114 has high versatility and flexibility, and can adapt to legs 102, decorative strips 104 and connecting rods 106 of different sizes and shapes, providing convenience for various application scenarios.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a clamping platform 140 is formed on a side of the first frame 132 away from the shelf body 138 , and the clamping platform 140 abuts against the pair of legs 102 ;

[0079] A first limiting groove 142 is formed on one side of the first frame 132 facing the shelf body 138 , and an edge of the shelf body 138 facing the first frame 132 is engaged with the first limiting groove 142 ;

[0080] A second limiting groove 144 is formed on one side of the second frame 134 facing the shelf body 138 , and an edge of the shelf body 138 facing the second frame 134 is engaged with the second limiting groove 144 ;

[0081] The third frame 136 is adapted to be connected to the connecting rod 106 through a snap-fit ​​structure on one side thereof facing the connecting rod 106;

[0082] A third limiting groove 146 is formed on one side of the third frame 136 facing the shelf body 138 , and an edge of the shelf body 138 facing the third frame 136 is engaged with the third limiting groove 146 .

[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a snap-in platform 140 is specially provided on the side of the first frame 132 facing away from the shelf body 138. The snap-in platform 140 is in close contact with the support leg 102, providing a stable support for the shelf panel 114 in the width direction of the shelf panel 114. At the same time, to ensure that the shelf body 138 can be firmly mounted on the first frame 132, a first limiting groove 142 is formed on the side of the first frame 132 facing the shelf body 138. The edge of the shelf body 138 facing the first frame 132 is snapped into the first limiting groove 142, thereby achieving a tight connection between the shelf body 138 and the first frame 132, and also achieving the height limitation of this edge of the shelf body 138.

[0084] The design of the second frame 134 also reflects the same principle. A second retaining groove 144 is formed on the side of the second frame 134 facing the shelf body 138. The edge of the shelf body 138 facing the second frame 134 engages in the second retaining groove 144. This design not only ensures a secure connection between the shelf body 138 and the second frame 134, but also makes the entire shelf panel 114 more compact. It also allows this edge of the shelf body 138 to be positioned vertically.

[0085] The third frame 136 is connected to the connecting rod 106 via a snap-fit ​​structure on its side facing the connecting rod 106.
