[0065] In the related art, during the processing of the cabinet, in order to realize the threading and connection of various parts and components for power supply, the traditional method requires a large number of drilling, grooving and other processes to reserve wiring routes. These processes are prone to errors and defects, reducing the quality and stability of the product. Secondly, the traditional wiring method requires sufficient cable length to be reserved to meet various possible connection requirements. This not only increases the amount of material used, but also makes the internal space of the cabinet crowded. This not only affects the aesthetics and ease of use of the cabinet, but may also cause mutual interference between cables and safety hazards.
[0066] Reference below Figures 1 to 20 The bathroom cabinet 10 according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described below. Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.17 The bathroom cabinet 10 of the utility model includes a conductive plate 100 and an electrical connector 200. The conductive plate 100 is conductive and can serve as a current carrier. The electrical connector 200 is connected to the conductive plate 100 in an inserted manner to be electrically connected to the conductive plate 100. With such a configuration, the electrical connector 200 does not need to be connected to a power source through wires. On the one hand, the bathroom cabinet 10 is more beautiful and reduces the safety hazards caused by exposed wires; on the other hand, it eliminates the process of drilling holes, grooving, and other processes for reserving wiring routes in the related art, thereby improving the production efficiency of the bathroom cabinet 10.
[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 11 and Fig.17Specifically, the conductive plate 100 includes a conductive portion 110 and a substrate portion, the conductive portion 110 is connected to the substrate portion, the conductive portion 110 includes a first electrode 111 and a second electrode 112, both of which are conductive, so the conductive plate 100 can be used as a current carrier. The substrate layer 120 is provided with a first mounting hole 121, and the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121 to be electrically connected to the conductive portion 110. Specifically, the electrical connector 200 includes a first contact 220 and a second contact 230. After the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed, and the first contact 220 can abut the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 can abut the second electrode 112, so that the current of the conductive plate 100 can flow into the electrical connector 200, and the electrical connection between the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 is realized. In this configuration, the conductive plate 100 acts as a current carrier, so that the electrical connector 200 does not need to be connected to the power source through wires, which makes the bathroom cabinet 10 more beautiful and reduces the potential safety hazards caused by exposed wires; on the other hand, it eliminates the process of drilling holes, grooving and other reserved wiring routes in the related art, thereby improving the production efficiency of the bathroom cabinet 10. In addition, the plug-in connection method of the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 makes the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 easy and efficient to assemble, and convenient for later maintenance and replacement.
[0068] It can be understood that the first electrode 111 can be configured as a positive electrode or a negative electrode. When the first electrode 111 is a positive electrode, the second electrode 112 is a negative electrode, the first contact 220 is a positive contact, and the second contact 230 is a negative contact; when the first electrode 111 is a negative electrode, the second electrode 112 is a positive electrode, the first contact 220 is a negative contact, and the second contact 230 is a positive contact.
[0069] Reference Fig.10In some embodiments, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 of the conductive part 110 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first mounting hole 121 in the radial direction, and the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121. The first mounting hole 121 has a peripheral wall around its own axis. In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 of the electrical connector 200 are located in the first mounting hole 121, and along the radial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed to the first mounting hole 121. At this time, the positions where the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed to the peripheral wall are configured to be suitable for abutting the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, so that the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 are electrically connected. In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 of the electrical connector 200 are located outside the first mounting hole 121, and along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed to the first mounting hole 121, and the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are configured to be suitable for abutting the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, so that the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 are electrically connected.
[0070] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.17 In some embodiments, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are sequentially distributed along the direction of the axis of the first mounting hole 121. At this time, the electrical connector 200 passes through the first mounting hole 121 of the substrate layer 120, and along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed to the first mounting hole 121. The conductive part 110 also has a mounting hole, and the through hole matches the first mounting hole 121, which is suitable for the insertion of the electrical connector 200. The electrical connector 200 is inserted into the mounting hole of the conductive part 110, so that the first contact 220 exposed to the first mounting hole 121 abuts against the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 exposed to the first mounting hole 121 abuts against the second electrode 112, so that the electrical connector 200 can be electrically connected to the conductive plate 100.
[0071] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the mounting hole of the conductive part 110 does not completely penetrate the entire conductive part 110, and it is only necessary to satisfy that the electrical connector 200 can pass through the mounting hole of the conductive part 110, and the first contact 220 can be extended to a position suitable for abutting the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 can be extended to a position suitable for abutting the second electrode 112. In some embodiments, the mounting hole of the conductive part 110 completely penetrates the conductive part 110, and the electrical connector 200 is extended into the mounting hole of the conductive part 110. The positions of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 on the electrical connector 200 are set so that after the electrical connector 200 is extended into the mounting hole of the conductive part 110 by a preset distance, at the preset position, the first contact 220 can abut the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 can abut the second electrode 112.
[0072] Of course, it can be understood that in some embodiments, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 can be columnar electrodes, and the use of columnar electrodes is conducive to adapting to conductive plates 100 of different volumes; in some embodiments, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 can be sheet electrodes, and the use of sheet electrodes facilitates the pressing and forming of the conductive plate 100, which can make the structure of the conductive plate 100 more compact and stable.
[0073] Of course, it can be understood that the direction in which the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the conductive plate 100 is the first direction X. Regarding the first contact 220 abutting against the first electrode 111 and the second contact 230 abutting against the second electrode 112, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first contact 220 abuts against the first electrode 111 and the second contact 230 abuts against the second electrode 112; in some embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the first contact 220 abuts against the first electrode 111 and the second contact 230 abuts against the second electrode 112. It is only necessary to meet the requirement that after the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the conductive plate 100, the first contact 220 abuts against the first electrode 111 and the second contact 230 abuts against the second electrode 112, so that the electrical connector 200 can be electrically connected to the conductive plate 100. The positions of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 abutting against the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, respectively, can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual volume of the bathroom cabinet 10.
[0074] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.17 In some embodiments, the conductive part 110 further includes an insulating layer 113, and the first electrode 111, the second electrode 112, and the insulating layer 113 are all configured in a sheet shape, and the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are located on opposite sides of the insulating layer 113. The surface of the first electrode 111 is attached to the surface of the insulating layer 113, and the surface of the second electrode 112 is attached to the surface of the insulating layer 113. Such a configuration facilitates the pressing of the conductive plate 100 and can make the conductive plate 100 more stable.
[0075] Of course, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are spaced apart, and in this case, no insulating layer 113 is provided between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112. Specifically, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 may be located in the radial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the first mounting hole 121 is provided between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the electrical connector 200 is provided through the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are both exposed to the first mounting hole 121, and along the radial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 abuts against the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 abuts against the second electrode 112. The first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 may also be located in the axial direction of the first mounting hole 121, and the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are spaced apart. After the electrical connector 200 passes through the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 of the electrical connector 200 exposed to the first mounting hole 121 respectively abut against the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, so that the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 are electrically connected.
[0076] Reference Figures 6 to 9 In some embodiments, the direction in which the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121 is the first direction X, and the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are both provided on the outer peripheral wall of the electrical connector 200 surrounding the first direction X. The electrical connector 200 is configured such that after being inserted into the first mounting hole 121, the first contact 220 abuts against the first electrode 111, and the second contact 230 abuts against the second electrode 112 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X. At this time, the electrical connector 200 passes through the first mounting hole 121 of the substrate layer 120, and the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are exposed to the first mounting hole 121 along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 121. The conductive portion 110 also has a mounting hole, and the through hole matches the first mounting hole 121, which is suitable for the insertion of the electrical connector 200. The electrical connector 200 is inserted into the mounting hole of the conductive part 110 , so that the first contact 220 exposed to the first mounting hole 121 abuts against the first electrode 111 , and the second contact 230 exposed to the first mounting hole 121 abuts against the second electrode 112 , so that the electrical connector 200 can be electrically connected to the conductive plate 100 .
[0077] Such arrangement makes the electrical connection between the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 more convenient and reliable. By providing a mounting hole matching the first mounting hole 121 in the conductive portion 110, the electrical connector 200 can be easily inserted and form a stable electrical connection with the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also reduces the manufacturing cost, while improving the stability and durability of the product. In addition, the plug-in assembly method is also conducive to quick installation and disassembly. When the functional electrical appliance 300 needs to be repaired or replaced, the electrical connector 200 only needs to be pulled out of the mounting hole of the conductive plate 100. This design makes the maintenance process more convenient, greatly shortens the maintenance time, and improves the user experience.
[0078] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, a waterproof sealing ring or sealing glue may be provided around the first mounting hole 121 of the conductive plate 100 toward the insertion side of the electrical connector 200. When the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121, the sealing ring or sealing glue can fit tightly into the gap between the electrical connector 200 and the substrate layer 120, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating and protecting the internal circuit from damage.
[0079] Reference Figures 6 to 9 In some embodiments, the electrical connector 200 further includes a main body 210, the main body 210 includes a first mounting groove, the first mounting groove is provided on the outer wall of the main body 210 surrounding the first direction X, and the first mounting groove is suitable for installing the first contact 220, so that the side of the first contact 220 away from the main body 210 is flush with the outer wall of the main body 210. In some embodiments, the main body 210 includes a second mounting groove, the second mounting groove is provided on the outer wall of the main body 210 surrounding the first direction X, and the second mounting groove is suitable for installing the second contact 230, so that the side of the second contact 230 away from the main body 210 is flush with the outer wall of the main body 210. The provision of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove improves the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. Specifically, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 can be firmly fixed on the main body 210, and are not easy to loosen or fall off. The first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are assembled in the main body 210 in an inlaid form, which is convenient for later replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are both flush with the outer wall of the main body 210, so that when the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121 of the conductive plate 100, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 can be more evenly stressed, thereby reducing the problem of poor contact caused by the position deviation of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230. At the same time, the flush design also reduces the wear of the contacts during the plugging and unplugging process, thereby extending the service life of the electrical connector 200.
[0080] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, a spring or other elastic element is added between the first contact 220 and the first mounting groove and / or a spring or other elastic element is added between the second contact 230 and the second mounting groove, so that the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 have a certain elasticity after installation. With such a configuration, when the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the conductive plate 100, the first contact 220 can better fit the surface of the first electrode 111 due to elasticity, and the second contact 230 can better fit the surface of the second electrode 112 due to elasticity, so that the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100 form a tighter electrical connection. At the same time, the elastic design can also reduce the damage to the contacts caused by the impact and vibration generated during the plugging and unplugging process.
[0081] Reference Fig.11 In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first electrode 111, the insulating layer 113, and the second electrode 112 are spaced apart from each other, the first electrode 111, the insulating layer 113, and the second electrode 112 are pressed together, and the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are spaced apart. This stacked and pressed structural design effectively improves the integration and compactness of the electrical connector 200. By pressing the electrode and the insulating layer 113 tightly together, not only the volume of the electrical connector 200 is reduced, but also its internal structure is simplified, making the whole more lightweight and easy to install. In addition, the addition of the insulating layer 113 significantly enhances the safety of the electrical connector 200. As a barrier between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the insulating layer 113 effectively isolates the positive and negative charges, prevents the occurrence of dangerous situations such as short circuit and electric shock, and ensures the safety of the user during operation. In addition, the spacing of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove provides the electrical connector 200 with more installation options and flexibility. Users can install contacts with different functions, such as signal contacts, power contacts, etc., at appropriate locations according to actual needs to meet different electrical connection requirements.
[0082] It can be understood that in some embodiments, by adjusting the thickness of the insulating layer 113 and matching the electrical connector 200 structure with the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove having appropriate spacing, the user can easily adjust the spacing between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 to adapt to different electrical connection requirements.
[0083] Of course, it is understandable that in some embodiments, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 can be designed to be adjustable. For example, through a spring or a threaded adjustment mechanism, the contact can adjust its extension length or angle as needed to ensure close contact with the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 at different intervals, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the connection.
[0084] It is understandable that the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are designed on the outside of the middle part of the electrical connector 200, and the upper and lower offset structures just contact with the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 of the conductive plate 100, so as to achieve a good conductive transmission function. The electrical connector 200 is internally designed with a contact hole surface that matches the polarity of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230. The contact hole surface is connected to the interface of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 on the outside as a whole, so as to connect the functional electrical appliance 300 to achieve a good conductive transmission function.
[0085] Reference Figures 6 to 9 In some embodiments, the main body 210 includes a plurality of protrusions 211, which are distributed on the side of the main body 210 facing the conductive plate 100, and the plurality of protrusions 211 are distributed around the first direction X and extend toward the conductive plate 100 along the first direction X. When the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the conductive plate 100 along the first direction X, the end of the protrusion 211 facing the conductive plate 100 will be forced to close together, thereby forming a certain oblique angle to facilitate the assembly of the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100. In addition, after the electrical connector 200 is inserted into the conductive plate 100, the protrusion 211 tends to return to its original shape, so the protrusion 211 will expand outward along the radial direction of the electrical connector 200, thereby increasing the friction between the protrusion 211 and the conductive plate 100, and making the combination of the protrusion 211 and the conductive plate 100 more firm. In some embodiments, the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are arranged on the outer surface of the protrusion 211. The outward expansion tendency of the protrusion 211 makes the first contact 220 and the first electrode 111 abut more firmly, and makes the second contact 230 and the second electrode 112 abut more firmly, further improving the stability of the cooperation between the electrical connector 200 and the conductive plate 100, that is, during the plugging and unplugging process, the protrusion 211 can effectively prevent the electrical connector 200 from accidentally falling off or loosening, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the electrical connection.
[0086] It is understandable that the design of the protrusions 211 also helps improve the thermal conductivity of the electrical connector 200. When the functional electrical appliance 300 connected to the electrical connector 200 generates heat during operation, these protrusions 211 can serve as part of the thermal conduction path to conduct the heat to the conductive plate 100 or other heat dissipation structures more quickly, which helps to reduce the temperature of the electrical connector 200 and the functional electrical appliance 300 and improve their working stability and lifespan.
[0087] Reference Fig.18 and Fig.19In some embodiments, the bathroom cabinet 10 also includes a common plate 500 and a functional electrical appliance 300. The common plate 500 is connected to the conductive plate 100. The common plate 500 includes a third mounting groove 510. The third mounting groove 510 is suitable for installing the functional electrical appliance 300. The functional electrical appliance 300 can be configured as an LED lamp, a fill light, or other workpieces for improving user experience.
[0088] It is understandable that the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 are designed on the outside of the middle part of the electrical connector 200, and the upper and lower offset structures just contact with the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 of the conductive plate 100, so as to achieve a good conductive transmission function. The electrical connector 200 is internally designed with a contact hole surface that matches the polarity of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230. The contact hole surface is connected to the interface of the first contact 220 and the second contact 230 on the outside as a whole, so as to connect the functional electrical appliance 300 to achieve a good conductive transmission function.
[0089] Reference Figures 6 to 9 as well as Figures 12 to 15 , Fig.18 and Fig.19 In some embodiments, the electrical connector 200 further includes a second mounting hole 240, and the functional electrical appliance 300 includes an electrode column 310, which is configured to be inserted into the second mounting hole 240 so that the functional electrical appliance 300 and the electrical connector 200 are electrically connected. Such a design greatly simplifies the connection process between the electrical connector 200 and the functional electrical appliance 300. The staff only needs to insert the electrode column 310 of the functional electrical appliance 300 into the second mounting hole 240 of the electrical connector 200 to achieve the electrical connection between the two without the need for additional wiring or welding operations, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and convenience. Secondly, through the standardized design of the second mounting hole 240, the compatibility and interchangeability between functional electrical appliances 300 of different models and brands and the electrical connector 200 can be ensured. This means that users can flexibly select functional electrical appliances 300 according to actual needs without worrying about their compatibility with the electrical connector 200, further broadening the application scope of the electrical connector 200 of this solution.
[0090] The electrode columns 310 of different polarities of the functional electrical appliance 300 just correspond to the second mounting holes 240 of different polarities of the electrical connector 200, so that the functional electrical appliance 300 and the electrical connector 200 are tightly connected to be suitable for realizing the functions of the functional electrical appliance 300.
[0091] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the bathroom cabinet 10 further includes a power supply and a step-down unit 400. The step-down unit 400 is configured to adjust the current provided by the power supply and introduce the adjusted current into the conductive plate 100. For example, the step-down unit 400 converts the 220V voltage of the power supply into a low-voltage current such as 12V or 24V and inputs it into the conductive plate 100. The conductive plate 100 serves as a current carrier to connect the power source to the subsequent functional electrical appliances 300 such as LED lamps. On the one hand, the step-down unit 400 can adapt to the working voltage of electronic components such as LED lamps. On the other hand, the existence of the step-down unit 400 enables the bathroom cabinet 10 to be safely and stably connected to various electrical appliances. Since the bathroom environment is usually relatively humid, the requirements for electrical safety are particularly high. The step-down unit 400 ensures that the current introduced into the conductive plate 100 is within a safe range by adjusting the current provided by the power supply, which effectively reduces the risk of electrical fires and electric shock accidents and ensures the personal safety of users.
[0092] Reference Fig. 20 The embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model provides a manufacturing process of a conductive plate 100, which is used for the bathroom cabinet 10 of any of the above embodiments, wherein the substrate layer 120 includes a surface plate 122 and a panel 123, the surface plate 122 is respectively attached to the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the panel 123 is respectively attached to the two surface plates 122 relatively distributed with respect to the insulating layer 113, the conductive part 110 includes a core plate, the first electrode 111, the insulating layer 113 and the second electrode 112 cooperate to form the core plate, and the manufacturing process of the conductive plate 100 includes the following steps:
[0093] S101: cold pressing the core plate for a first preset time;
[0094] S103: hot pressing the core board for a second preset time;
[0095] S105: Laminating the surface plate 122 to two opposite sides of the core plate to form a first structure;
[0096] S107: cold pressing the first structure for a third preset time;
[0097] S109: hot pressing the first structure for a fourth preset time;
[0098] S111: attaching the panel 123 to two opposite sides of the first structure to form a second structure;
[0099] S113: cold pressing the second structure for a fifth preset time;
[0100] S115: hot pressing the second structure for a sixth preset time.
[0101] Specifically, in some embodiments, the wood layer is configured as a surface plate 122, and the decorative layer is configured as a panel 123. First, the conductive plate 100 uses double-sided environmentally friendly glue, which is evenly applied with less glue to achieve a more solid and environmentally friendly effect. There are strict requirements on the environmental protection of the board. The glue used is environmentally friendly glue. The environmental protection level of the produced board is as high as E0 level (formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.06mg / m3), and the environmental protection performance is far better than the national E1 level standard (formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.124mg / m3), which provides a more secure guarantee for the consumer market. After the gluing process, the single board comes to the "combination stage", that is, the lamination link, where the solid wood single board is crisscrossed and laminated to realize the transformation from single board to multi-layer board. A layer of conductive copper sheet (or other conductive material) is placed in the middle of the board, and the lamination process also has a decisive influence on the performance of the board. The conductive plate 100 is different from the common multilayer plates on the market. It has a unique hot pressing process, and its bonding strength is far better than the plates formed by 1-2 times. It has stronger physical properties, better flatness, and a more stable plate structure. The unique hot pressing process of the conductive plate 100 of this solution includes the following steps:
[0102] Cold press the core board for three hours;
[0103] Heat press the core board for fifty minutes;
[0104] Laminating wood layers to opposite sides of the core board to form a first structure;
[0105] cold pressing the first structure for two hours;
[0106] heat pressing the first structure for twenty minutes;
[0107] Laminating the decorative layer to opposite sides of the first structure to form a second structure;
[0108] cold pressing the second structure for two hours;
[0109] The second structure was heat pressed for fifteen minutes.
[0110] The following is a step for assembling the bathroom cabinet 10 of this solution. Figures 1 to 11First, the conductive plate 100 is cut to the required size by the plate cutting equipment, and then the insulating edge banding strip 130 is pasted on the cut surface of the conductive plate 100 by the edge banding equipment, so as to prevent leakage and beautify the conductive plate 100. Next, holes are drilled on the conductive plate 100 to reserve the installation holes of the electrical connector 200. Then, the LED light bar is installed on the ordinary plate 500. Then, the LED light bar is installed with the electrical connector 200, and the second installation hole 240 of the electrical connector 200 is configured as a live wire hole and a neutral wire control. The electrode column 310 of the LED light bar is configured as a live wire and a neutral wire. The live wire corresponds to the live wire hole, and the neutral wire corresponds to the neutral wire hole. After that, the conductive plate 100 and the ordinary plate 500, and the ordinary plate 500 and the ordinary plate 500 are connected and fixed with connectors, and the conductive connector is also inserted into the corresponding hole. Finally, the back of the cabinet is aligned with the installation hole of the cabinet, and the conductive connector is inserted, and then the step-down unit 400 and the induction switch module are installed, and the installation is completed.
[0111] The path of the current of the utility model starts from the external 220V power supply and first connects to the step-down unit 400. The function of this driving power supply is to convert the higher 220V voltage into a lower voltage, such as 24V or 12V, to adapt to the working voltage of electronic components such as LED lights. The converted low-voltage current will pass through the induction switch. The function of this induction switch is to control the on and off of the current according to the human body induction.
[0112] When the induction switch senses the human body, it will switch on the current, and then the current will be transmitted to the conductive plate 100. The conductive plate 100 has a first electrode 111 and a second electrode 112 inside, and the current is transmitted through the positive electrode to the first electrode 111 and the negative electrode to the second electrode 112. The first electrode 111 of the conductive plate 100 is in contact with the first contact 220 of the electrical connector 200, and the current is transmitted to the positive electrode of the LED lamp (or other functional electrical appliances 300), and the second electrode 112 of the conductive plate 100 is also in contact with the second contact 230 of the electrical connector 200, and the negative current is transmitted.
[0113] The positive electrode of the electrical connector 200 is connected to the positive electrode of the LED lamp, and the negative electrode is connected to the negative electrode of the LED lamp, thus forming a complete circuit, so that the LED lamp can emit light. In the whole process, the current carrier is the conductive plate 100 material, which provides the required current source for the LED lamp, and the induction switch realizes the automatic control of the LED lamp and other electrical appliances.
[0114] The bathroom cabinet 10 of this solution adopts the conductive plate 100 to provide a current carrier after being energized, so that it becomes the current acquisition source required by other functional electrical appliances 300, thereby reducing the cabinet processing steps, such as the reserved wiring routes for parts drilling, grooving and other processes, saving labor costs and improving efficiency. In addition, the bathroom cabinet 10 of this solution can reduce the difficulties in the installation process of electronic components, the need to pierce and classify and fix wires, and avoid the problems of messy wiring, unsightly wiring, and easy wear of the wire surface leading to short circuits.
