Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0024] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of cabinet door without handles, including a frame 1, a driving assembly 2, a door panel 3, and an induction grating 4. Two sets of sliding grooves 11 are opened inside the frame 1, and the door panel 3 is slidably installed inside the sliding grooves 11. Driving assemblies 2 are arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and the lower ends of the driving assemblies 2 are connected to the door panel 3. An induction groove 12 is opened at the front end of the frame 1, and induction gratings 4 are installed on both sides of the induction groove 12. The driving assembly 2 is driven by the signal of the induction grating 4;

[0026] During use, the frame 1 is the supporting part of the entire structure. The design of the sliding grooves 11 ensures the smooth movement of the door panel 3, reducing friction and noise. The door panel 3 is connected to the frame 1 through the sliding grooves 11 and can be slid back and forth to open or close through the driving assembly 2. After receiving the signal from the induction grating 4, the driving assembly 2 will drive the door panel 3 to automatically slide open or close. The induction groove 12 is arranged at the front end of the frame 1 for installing the induction grating 4. The induction grating 4 controls the driving assembly 2 through the detected signal to achieve opening or closing of the cabinet door without touching the door panel 3. The distance sensing function of the induction grating 4 can selectively control which cabinet door opens, improving the convenience and flexibility of use.

[0027] The driving assembly 2 includes a motor bracket 21. The motor bracket 21 is fixed on both sides of the frame 1, and a driving motor 22 is fixedly installed on the motor bracket 21. The motor bracket 21 provides stable support, firmly fixing the driving motor 22 on the frame 1 to ensure that the driving motor 22 remains stable in position during operation without displacement or vibration.

[0028] The driving motor 22 is a stepper motor. The stepper motor can precisely control the moving distance of the door panel 3. It rotates at a fixed angle for each step, allowing for precise control of the position of the door panel 3.

[0029] A first synchronous pulley 24 is installed on the driving motor 22. Two sides of the frame 1 are movably installed with second synchronous pulleys 25 through support frames 23. A synchronous belt 26 is installed between the first synchronous pulley 24 and the second synchronous pulley 25. The driving motor 22 drives the synchronous belt 26 to move horizontally by rotating the first synchronous pulley 24.

[0030] A fixed block 27 is fixed to the upper end of the door panel 3. The upper end of the fixed block 27 is fixed to the synchronous belt 26. The fixed block 27 transmits the horizontal movement of the synchronous belt 26 to the door panel 3. When the synchronous belt 26 moves horizontally driven by the first synchronous pulley 24 and the second synchronous pulley 25, it is fixed to the door panel 3 through the fixed block 27, driving the door panel 3 to move synchronously, realizing the function of automatic door opening and closing.

[0031] Two limit switches 5 are fixed to both sides of the upper end of the frame 1. The limit switches 5 correspond to the position of the fixed block 27. When the door panel 3 moves to the predetermined position and is completely closed, the fixed block 27 triggers the limit switch 5, sending a signal to the driving motor 22 to stop operating. The function of the limit switch 5 is to ensure that the door panel 3 can accurately reach the set position each time it opens and closes, prevent excessive movement, and protect the door panel 3 and the driving assembly 2. Through the calibration of the limit switch 5, the position of the door panel 3 can be reset and calibrated to ensure precise positioning and stable operation during long-term use.

[0032] As an embodiment of the present utility model: When using the new type of cabinet door panel 3 without a handle, when the user approaches the induction grating 4, the induction grating 4 detects the user's action and generates a corresponding signal. The signal generated by the induction grating 4 is transmitted to the stepper motor in the driving assembly 2 through a circuit. After receiving the signal from the induction grating 4, the stepper motor starts to operate, and the first synchronous pulley 24 rotates accordingly. The first synchronous pulley 24 on the stepper motor rotates, driving the synchronous belt 26 to move horizontally between the first synchronous pulley 24 and the second synchronous pulley 25. The synchronous belt 26 is connected to the fixed block 27, and the fixed block 27 transmits the horizontal movement of the synchronous belt 26 to the door panel 3, pushing the door panel 3 to slide open smoothly. When it needs to be closed, the induction grating 4 sends a signal, and the stepper motor rotates in the reverse direction, driving the synchronous belt 26 and the fixed block 27 to slide the door panel 3 closed. When the door panel 3 moves to the closed position, the fixed block 27 triggers the limit switch 5 again, and the stepper motor stops operating. The door panel 3 is precisely closed and the position is reset; thus, the use of the new type of cabinet door panel 3 without a handle is completed.

[0033] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
