Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to furniture, and in particular to a hidden handle structure and furniture using the same. Background Art

[0002] Furniture is generally equipped with doors that can be opened and closed. With the change and influence of trends, glass doors are gradually accepted by the public. However, due to the small thickness of glass itself, it is basically impossible to directly process hollow handles on the glass. The only way is to add a frame around the glass by connection and then set the handle on the frame, or drill holes in the glass to connect the handle. However, the existing glass door handle processing method makes the frame and handle exposed, which not only increases the thickness of the door edge, but also blocks part of the pattern on the glass, greatly affecting the aesthetics of the door. Of course, in reality, in addition to the above problems of glass doors, other thin plate-shaped doors have the same problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned problems existing in furniture using thin plate-shaped cabinet doors in the prior art, the present invention proposes a hidden handle structure, comprising a panel and a panel bracket connected to the back of the panel, the panel bracket is arranged along the edge of the panel, and the panel bracket falls within the projection of the panel when viewed from the front to the back; the panel bracket is a strip-shaped profile, comprising a front wall body and a rear wall body arranged front and back, the front wall body is connected to the back of the panel, the rear wall body comprises an inclined section, the inclined section intersects with the upper part of the rear wall body to form an upper edge, the inclined section is arranged in a direction inclined downward from the upper edge to away from the front wall body and serves as a handle portion of the panel; the upper edge and the edge of the panel leave an installation spacing, and also include a long strip-shaped transition rubber strip, the transition rubber strip includes a connected overlapping edge and a fixed edge, at least a part of the fixed edge is clamped and stored between the front wall body of the panel bracket and the panel, and the two ends of the overlapping edge are respectively overlapped on the upper edge of the panel bracket and the edge of the panel to cover the installation spacing.

[0004] The panel refers to a cabinet door component in the form of a thin plate, and the specific material may be glass, acrylic, PC, thin wood board or metal plate.

[0005] The panel bracket refers to a long strip-shaped member connected to the back of the panel to support the panel and enhance the structural strength of the panel, and is generally made of plastic or alloy. In practical applications, the panel bracket can be used alone or in combination with multiple panels to form a frame-shaped member. Of course, it can also be used in conjunction with support rods of other specifications to form a frame-shaped member.

[0006] The panel bracket falls within the projection of the panel, which means that the panel can be seen from the front to the back, but the panel bracket is completely blocked by the panel. This arrangement allows the edge of the panel to be completely exposed.

[0007] Among them, the inclined section intersects with the upper part of the rear wall body to form an upper edge, which means that the upper part of the panel bracket is pointed, that is, the edge thickness of the upper part is the top of the sharp angle. Without considering the difficulty of processing and practical application, the sharp angle can be made extremely small; but in this embodiment, a transition radius is set to form a certain material thickness at the sharp corner, which increases the structural strength of the intersection and reduces the difficulty of processing.

[0008] The transition rubber strip is a component used to connect the panel and the panel bracket, and forms at least two connection relationships with the panel and the panel bracket through two connecting edges, one of which extends to the overlapping area between the panel and the panel bracket to achieve a clamping or snap-on fixed connection relationship, and the other two ends extend to the edge of the panel and the panel bracket to form an overlapping relationship. The overlapping edge and the fixed edge are connected in a T-shaped connection or an L-shaped connection. One side wall of the overlapping edge is exposed and connected to the wall of the inclined section, but because the transition rubber strip is generally made of silicone rubber, its surface friction is greater than that of the panel bracket. Furthermore, the overlapping edge of the transition rubber strip is provided with a convex rib protruding outward.

[0009] According to the above technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are: first, the panel is completely covered by the panel bracket in the front, and the sharp-angled edge of the panel bracket with the smallest thickness is arranged close to the edge of the panel, which can not only enhance the structural strength of the panel, but also greatly reduce the exposure of the panel bracket when the panel is observed in an inclined direction. The inclined rear wall can also make room for fingers to enter to form a handle. This structure is not only beautiful but also practical; second, an installation spacing is left between the panel bracket and the edge of the panel, which can further reduce the exposure of the panel bracket on the one hand, and reserve installation space for the transition rubber strip on the other hand; third, the overlapping edge is overlapped between the edge of the panel and the panel bracket to increase the friction between the edge and the finger, reduce the slippage between the finger and the panel bracket during use, and improve the use experience.

[0010] A further technical solution may be that a rubber strip slot is provided on the front wall of the panel bracket, and a connecting rib matching the rubber strip slot is provided on the fixed edge of the transition rubber strip, and the fixed edge is connected to the front wall of the panel bracket through the cooperation of the connecting rib and the rubber strip slot.

[0011] A further technical solution may be that the width of the front wall of the panel bracket is greater than the width of the fixed edge of the transition rubber strip, and also includes an adhesive layer, which is arranged between the front wall of the panel bracket and the panel, and the panel bracket is connected to the panel through the adhesive layer.

[0012] A further technical solution may be that at least one glue-receiving groove is provided on a section of the front wall body bonded to the panel, which is beneficial to reduce glue overflow and improve the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0013] A further technical solution may be that the rear wall of the panel bracket also includes a straight section, which is connected to the lower end of the inclined section and is arranged in balance with the front wall, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the straight section, and also includes an anti-collision rubber strip, on which T-shaped ribs are provided, and the anti-collision rubber strip is connected to the straight section through the cooperation of the T-shaped ribs and the T-shaped grooves.

[0014] A further technical solution may be that the rear wall of the panel bracket also includes a bending section, which is composed of two T-shaped wall sections, namely a horizontal wall and a vertical wall. The front end of the horizontal wall is connected to the lower end of the inclined section and is arranged perpendicular to the front wall, and the rear end of the horizontal wall is connected to the middle area of ​​the vertical wall and allows the vertical wall to be arranged roughly parallel to the front wall. From the cross-section, the rear wall of the panel bracket is groove-shaped.

[0015] The furniture comprises a cabinet body and a cabinet door using the hidden handle structure, wherein the cabinet door is movably connected to the cabinet body.

[0016] Since the present invention has the above characteristics and advantages, it can be applied to a hidden handle structure and furniture using the same. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The hidden handle structure of the present invention and the structure of the furniture to which the hidden handle structure is applied will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Except for those explicitly stated to be equivalent or alternative implementation schemes, the various implementation details disclosed below can be selectively applied or combined in one embodiment even if they are not directly related or synergistic in terms of functions.

[0028] like Figure 1 The figure shows a piece of furniture, which includes a cabinet body 1 and a drawer body slidably arranged in the cabinet body 1. The front end of the drawer body is connected to a cabinet door 2, and the cabinet door 2 can slide the drawer body back and forth in the cabinet body 1 by pushing and pulling the cabinet door 2. The front end surface of the cabinet door 2 is a flat surface and is not connected to any handle member of the structure. In order to facilitate the extraction of the drawer body, a hidden handle structure is applied to the cabinet door 2.

[0029] The hidden handle structure is described in detail below. Figure 2~Figure 8 As shown, the hidden handle structure includes a panel 3 and a panel bracket 4 connected to the back of the panel 3. The panel bracket 4 is arranged along the edge of the panel 3. When viewed from the front to the back, the panel bracket 4 falls within the projection of the panel 3. The panel bracket 4 is a strip-shaped profile, including a front wall body 41 and a rear wall body 42 arranged front and back. The front wall body 41 is connected to the back of the panel 3, and the rear wall body 42 includes an inclined section 421. The inclined section 421 intersects with the upper part of the rear wall body 42 to form an upper edge 43. The inclined section 421 is formed from the upper The edge 43 is arranged to be inclined downward in a direction away from the front wall body 41 and serves as a handle of the panel 3; an installation spacing is left between the upper edge 43 and the edge of the panel 3, and also includes a transition rubber strip 5 in the form of a long strip, and the transition rubber strip 5 includes a connected overlapping edge 51 and a fixed edge 52, at least a portion of the fixed edge 52 is clamped and stored between the front wall body 41 of the panel bracket 4 and the panel 3, and the two ends of the overlapping edge 51 are respectively overlapped on the upper edge 43 of the panel bracket 4 and the edge of the panel 3 to block the installation spacing.

[0030] In this embodiment, the panel 3 refers to a thin plate-shaped tempered glass member. Of course, in other equivalent implementations, the panel 3 can also be made of plastic materials such as acrylic or PC, or metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0031] In order to minimize the exposure of the panel bracket 4, in addition to allowing the panel 3 to cover the panel bracket 4 in front, the inclined section 421 of the panel bracket 4 is intersected with the upper part of the rear wall 42 to form an upper edge 43, that is, a sharp angle with a gradually decreasing thickness is formed on the side close to the edge of the panel 3. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can not only strengthen the structural strength of the panel 3, but also greatly reduce the exposure of the panel bracket 4 when observing the panel 3 in an inclined direction. The inclined rear wall 42 can also make room for fingers to enter to form a handle. This structure is not only beautiful but also very practical.

[0032] The transition strip 5 is a component used to connect the panel 3 and the panel bracket 4, and forms at least two connection relationships with the panel 3 and the panel bracket 4 through two connecting edges. One is that the fixed edge 52 extends to the overlapping area between the panel 3 and the panel bracket 4 to achieve a clamping or buckling fixed connection relationship, and the other is that the two ends of the overlapping edge 51 extend to the edges of the panel 3 and the panel bracket 4 to form an overlapping relationship. Fig. 9 As shown, the connection between the overlapping edge 51 and the fixed edge 52 is a T-shaped connection structure in this embodiment. Among them, one side wall of the overlapping edge 51 is exposed and connected to the wall of the inclined section 421, but because the transition rubber strip 5 is generally made of silicone rubber, its surface friction is greater than that of the panel bracket 4. In this way, the friction between the edge and the finger can be increased, the slippage between the finger and the panel bracket 4 during use can be reduced, and the use experience can be improved. Furthermore, a plurality of outwardly protruding ribs 53 are provided on the overlapping edge 51 of the transition rubber strip 5 to further increase its friction with the finger.

[0033] In order to better fix the transition rubber strip 5, a rubber strip slot 411 is provided on the front wall body 41 of the panel bracket 4, and a connecting clip 54 matching the rubber strip slot 411 is provided on the fixed edge 52 of the transition rubber strip 5. The fixed edge 52 is connected to the front wall of the panel bracket 4 through the cooperation of the connecting clip 54 and the rubber strip slot 411.

[0034] In order to facilitate the connection and fixation between the panel bracket 4 and the panel 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the width of the front wall body 41 of the panel bracket 4 is greater than the width of the fixed edge 52 of the transition rubber strip 5, and also includes an adhesive layer 6, which is arranged between the front wall body 41 of the panel bracket 4 and the panel 3, and the panel bracket 4 is connected to the panel 3 through the adhesive layer 6.

[0035] Furthermore, at least one glue storage groove 412 is provided on a section of the front wall 41 bonded to the panel 3. This is beneficial to reduce glue overflow and improve the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0036] The panel bracket 4 will collide with the cabinet body 1 when combined with each other. In order to reduce damage to the panel 3 or the cabinet body 1, the rear wall body 42 of the panel bracket 4 also includes a straight section 422, and the straight section 422 is connected to the lower end of the inclined section 421 and is arranged in balance with the front wall body 41. A T-shaped groove 423 is also provided on the straight section 422, and an anti-collision rubber strip 7 is also included. The anti-collision rubber strip 7 is provided with a T-shaped rib 71, and the anti-collision rubber strip 7 is connected to the straight section 422 by the cooperation of the T-shaped rib 71 and the T-shaped groove 423.

[0037] As a further improvement or a modified implementation of this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, a panel bracket 4' is arranged at the lower edge of the panel 3, the panel bracket 4' comprises an intersecting front wall 41' and a rear wall 42', wherein the rear wall 42' further comprises a bending section 44, the bending section 44 is composed of two T-shaped wall sections, namely a horizontal wall 441 and a vertical wall 442, the front end of the horizontal wall 441 is connected to the lower end of the inclined section 421 and arranged vertically with the front wall 41', the rear end of the horizontal wall 441 is connected to the middle area of ​​the vertical wall 442 and allows the vertical wall 442 to be arranged roughly parallel to the front wall 41', and from the cross section, the rear wall 42' of the panel bracket 4 is in a groove shape. This arrangement can increase the width of the space for fingers to enter, making it easier for fingers to enter from below for operation; in addition, one end of the vertical wall 442 extends to the rear of the inclined section 421, so that the fingers of the operator can be well protected when closing the cabinet door 2.
