Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a mounting bracket and a mounting structure for a cabinet power module. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, the progress of technology and the improvement of people's living standards. Modern cabinet furniture such as cabinets, wardrobes, wine cabinets, display cabinets, etc. has also incorporated more modern elements! For example, the application of lighting has improved the practicality and aesthetics of various cabinet furniture!

[0003] Setting lamps in the cabinet can make the items displayed in the cabinet look more beautiful and have a stronger sense of life, and can also illuminate the inside of the cabinet, making it more convenient to access the items. In addition, the lamps can be linked with the opening and closing actions of the cabinet door, so that when the cabinet door is opened, the lamps in the cabinet can automatically light up, and when the cabinet door is closed, the lamps in the cabinet will automatically turn off, which can save energy and reduce user operations.

[0004] At present, the lamps of this kind of cabinet furniture generally use LED lamps, which are driven by 12V or 24V direct current. When using these LED lamps, they need to be matched with corresponding power modules. Although the volume of the power module is not very large, in the actual use process, how to install the power module on the cabinet, which can not only ensure the aesthetics, but also reduce the occupation of the cabinet space and facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement, there is still no good solution at present.

[0005] At present, the installation of the power module mainly adopts the following two methods: the first is to install the power module at positions that are not easily noticed by the line of sight, such as the top and bottom inside the cabinet, and the second is to hide it in the upper closing strip or the side closing strip of the cabinet. However, it is not easy to find the position of the power module during later maintenance, and the closing strip needs to be removed to repair and replace the power module, and the maintenance is relatively inconvenient. During the process of removing the closing strip, it is easy to damage the closing strip and the cabinet body, affecting the aesthetics. In addition, according to the number and power of the lamps, the size of the power module is also different. The power module is generally directly fixed and installed on the cabinet body by screws, and the distribution positions of the screw holes on the outer shell of the power module with different sizes are also different, resulting in that only the installation master can punch and install according to the actual situation on site. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a mounting bracket for a cabinet power module with a simple structure, beautiful appearance, convenient disassembly and assembly, and can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the cabinet.

[0007] The utility model provides an installation structure for a cabinet power supply module, which includes a support plate. The middle part of the front side of the support plate has a first installation area that cooperates and fixes with the shell of the power supply module. The periphery of the front side of the support plate has a second installation area that cooperates and fixes with the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet. The first installation area is provided with a first connection mechanism that cooperates and fixes with the shell of the power supply module, and the second installation area is provided with a second connection mechanism that cooperates and fixes with the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0008] During installation, the shell of the power supply module is fixedly installed in the first installation area of the support plate through the first connection mechanism. Then, the power supply module is inserted into the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet, and the second installation area of the support plate is fixed to the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet through the second connection mechanism, realizing the installation of the power supply module.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connection mechanism includes a plurality of locking belts distributed along the two ends of the support plate. The locking belts are connected and cooperate with the support plate and can bind the power supply module by tightening. The locking belt can be an elastic cord, which uses its own elasticity to constrict and bind on the outer shell of the power supply module. Or connection structures for adjusting the size of the loop can be provided at both ends of the locking belt to adjust the size of the loop according to the thickness and width dimensions of the power supply module, realizing the binding of the power supply module and improving the adaptability to power supply modules of different sizes.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate includes multiple groups of through holes distributed along the two ends of the support plate. Each group of through holes includes an upper through hole and a lower through hole respectively corresponding to the upper part and the lower part of the first installation area. The locking belt is connected and cooperates with the through holes. The middle section of the locking belt is located at the rear side of the support plate, and both ends of the locking belt pass through the upper through hole and the lower through hole respectively and are placed at the front side of the support plate and cooperate and connect, which can improve the connection effect between the locking belt and the support plate and also improve the positioning effect on the power supply module. In addition, during actual application, the number of locking belts is less than the number of groups of through holes, and the locking belts can be arranged at the through holes in different positions along the two ends of the support plate according to the length dimension of the power supply module, so as to further improve the adaptability to power supply modules of different sizes.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper through hole or the lower through hole is a hole extending vertically. When the locking belt fixes the power supply module with different width dimensions, the gap between the locking belt and the power supply module can be reduced, improving the binding effect.

[0012] As another alternative, the first connecting mechanism includes a plurality of screw holes distributed along the two ends of the support plate. Screws can be passed through the pre-drilled mounting holes on the power supply module and the corresponding screw holes on the first connecting mechanism for connection and fixation. The number and distribution positions of the plurality of screw holes can be adjusted according to the mounting holes of power supply modules with different common sizes on the market, so that power supply modules with different sizes can be fixed in the first mounting area of the support plate through their pre-drilled mounting holes.

[0013] Further, the second connecting mechanism includes screw holes provided at the end of the support plate. The support plate and the inner wall of the cabinet can be fixed by passing screws through the screw holes at the end of the support plate and the screw hole positions at the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet. The screw hole positions at the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet can also be formed by tapping. Of course, screw holes can also be provided at the upper and lower edges of the support plate to further improve the fixing effect with the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0014] Further, the cabinet power supply module mounting bracket further includes a decorative panel detachably connected to the rear side of the support plate, which can also cover connection structural features such as screws, locking bands, and hollow holes at the rear side of the support plate, improving the aesthetics of the mounting bracket. The decorative panel and the support plate are preferably detachably connected and matched by a snap connection method.

[0015] Further, a groove is provided on the front side of the decorative panel, and the support plate is embedded in the groove of the decorative panel, which helps to improve the connection effect between the decorative panel and the support plate and makes the overall structure of the mounting bracket more compact and beautiful.

[0016] Further, the cabinet power supply module mounting bracket further includes a protection module fixedly installed in the first mounting area. When the power supply module is fixedly installed in the first mounting area, the protection module is located on one side of the power supply module. The protection module is used for connection and cooperation with the power supply module and can cut off the circuit in time when short circuit or overcurrent occurs in the circuit, improving safety. The protection module is placed into the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet together with the power supply module during installation, facilitating the disassembly, installation, and replacement of the protection module.

[0017] The present utility model also provides a cabinet power supply module mounting structure, including a cabinet and a power supply module, and further including the above-mentioned cabinet power supply module mounting bracket. The power supply module is fixedly installed in the first mounting area of the support plate through the first connecting mechanism. The interior of the cabinet has a receiving space, and the inner wall of the cabinet corresponding to the receiving space has an opening for the power supply module to be placed. The second mounting area of the support plate is fixed to the edge of the opening in the inner wall of the cabinet through the second connecting mechanism.

[0018] In the above solution, the power supply module is placed in the opening on the inner wall of the cabinet and fixed by the support plate, which can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the cabinet by the power supply module, making the overall structure more compact. The support plate can also block the opening on the inner wall of the cabinet and the power supply module, improving the aesthetics.

[0019] In the above solution, the opening on the inner wall of the cabinet is a through hole penetrating the inner wall of the cabinet, allowing a part of the power supply module to protrude outside the cabinet, reducing the requirement for the thickness of the inner wall of the cabinet. In actual application, the opening can be set on the side corresponding to the adjacent wall, floor or ceiling when the cabinet is placed. This setting makes reasonable use of the gap between the cabinet and the adjacent wall, floor or ceiling, so that it can be adapted to the installation of a power supply module with a larger thickness dimension. In addition, the opening can also improve the heat dissipation effect of the power supply module and facilitate the wiring of the power supply module. In other alternative solutions, the opening on the inner wall of the cabinet can also be a blind hole.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The structure of the present utility model is simple, the installation is convenient, the manufacturing cost is low, the occupation of the internal space of the cabinet after installation is small, and it looks more beautiful. During on-site installation, only an opening needs to be made on the inner wall of the cabinet to be adapted for installation. The tolerance for the opening requirements of the cabinet is high, and precise opening is not required. Even a novice can install it. Moreover, it has a certain flame retardancy, which can isolate the power supply module from flammable items such as clothes in the cabinet, improving the safety performance.

The middle part of the front side of the support plate 1 has a first installation area 1a that cooperates and fixes with the housing of the power module 2 (that is, Figure 4 the inner area of the dashed box in Figure 4 ). The periphery of the front side of the support plate 1 has a second installation area 1b that cooperates and fixes with the edge of the opening 30 in the inner wall of the cabinet (that is, Figure 4 the outer area of the dashed box in Figure 4 ). The second installation area 1b is arranged around the first installation area 1a. The first installation area 1a is provided with a first connection mechanism that cooperates and fixes with the housing of the power module 2, and the second installation area is provided with a second connection mechanism that cooperates and fixes with the edge of the opening 30 in the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0029] During installation, the housing of the power module 2 is fixedly installed in the first installation area 1a of the support plate 1 through the first connection mechanism, and then the power module 2 is inserted into the opening 30 of the inner wall 3 of the cabinet, and the second installation area 1b of the support plate 1 is fixed to the edge of the opening 30 in the inner wall of the cabinet through the second connection mechanism, realizing the installation of the power module 2.

[0030] The first connection mechanism includes a plurality of locking belts 4 distributed along the two ends of the support plate 1. In this embodiment, the number of locking belts 4 is preferably two, which are respectively bound near the two ends of the power module 2. The two ends of the support plate 1 refer to the two ends along the length direction. The locking belts 4 are connected with the support plate 1 and can bind the power module 2 by tightening.

[0031] The loop size of the locking belt 4 can be adjusted according to the thickness and width dimensions of the power module, so as to bind the power module and improve the adaptability to power modules of different sizes.

[0032] For example, in this embodiment, connection structures for adjusting the loop size are provided at both ends of the locking belt 4, that is, the reverse tooth parts and lock sleeves respectively provided at both ends of the locking belt 4. The lock sleeve includes an elastic clamping member. The reverse tooth part and the lock sleeve form a movable socketing fit that can only move in the converging direction. When the power module 2 needs to be disassembled, the elastic clamping member on the lock sleeve can be operated to separate from the reverse tooth part to relax the loop; as an alternative solution, both ends of the locking belt 4 can also be connected and fixed by means such as a hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro), a buckle / button, etc.;

[0033] In other embodiments, the locking belt 4 can also be an elastic cord, which uses its own elasticity to converge on the outer shell of the power module 2 and bind it, having good adaptability to power modules 2 of different sizes.

[0034] The support plate 1 includes multiple groups of through holes distributed along the two ends of the support plate 1.

The two ends of the locking band 4 pass through the upper through hole 101 and the lower through hole 102 respectively and are arranged at the front side of the support plate 1 and connected in cooperation, which can improve the connection effect between the locking band 4 and the support plate 1, and can also improve the positioning effect on the power module 2. In addition, in actual application, the number of the locking bands 4 is less than the number of groups of through holes, and the locking bands 4 can be arranged at the through holes at different positions along the two ends of the support plate 1 according to the length dimension of the power module 2, so as to further improve the adaptability to power modules 2 of different sizes.

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, the lower through hole 102 is a hole extending vertically (in other embodiments, it can also be the upper through hole 101). When the locking band 4 fixes the power module 2 with different width dimensions, the gap between the locking band 4 and the power module 2 can be reduced, the binding effect can be improved, and the power module 2 is not easy to shake.

[0036] In other embodiments, the first connection mechanism includes multiple screw holes distributed along the two ends of the support plate 1. The power module 2 can be fixedly connected by passing screws through the pre-brought mounting holes on the power module 2 and the corresponding screw holes on the first connection mechanism. The number and distribution positions of the multiple screw holes can be adjusted according to the mounting holes of different size specifications of common power modules on the market, so that power modules 2 of different size specifications can be fixed on the first installation area 1a of the support plate 1 through their pre-brought mounting holes.

[0037] In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned fixing methods of the locking band 4 and screws, the first connection mechanism can also directly use adhesives, double-sided tapes, magnetic patch pieces, magic tapes, etc. to fix the power module 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second connection mechanism includes a screw hole 11 arranged at the end of the support plate 1. The support plate 1 and the cabinet inner wall opening 30 can be fixed by passing screws between the screw hole 11 at the end of the support plate 1 and the screw hole position at the edge of the cabinet inner wall opening 30. The screw hole position at the edge of the cabinet inner wall opening 30 can also be formed by tapping on the installation site. Of course, screw holes can also be arranged at the upper and lower edges of the support plate 1 to further improve the fixing effect with the cabinet inner wall 3. In order to reduce errors, long strip-shaped screw holes 11 can be used.

[0039] It should be noted that the screw hole described in the present utility model refers to a hole that is fitted and connected with a screw, and does not necessarily include an internal thread.

[0040] In addition to the above-mentioned fixing method using screws, the second connecting mechanism can also directly use methods such as glue, double-sided tape, magnetic patch, magic tape, etc. to fix between the inner wall 3 of the cabinet and the support plate 1, or can also be fixedly connected by clamping through the cooperation of clamping parts arranged at the opening 30 / at the edge of the opening 30 and the end of the support plate 1.

[0041] The cabinet power module mounting bracket further includes a decorative panel 5 detachably connected to the rear side of the support plate 1. The size of the decorative panel 5 is approximately the same as that of the support plate 1.
