Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent mirror cabinets, and in particular to a mirror door and a mirror cabinet. Background Art

[0002] A mirror cabinet is a household item that combines a mirror and a cabinet. A controller unit is typically installed on the inside of the mirror door. The controller unit can control various electronic devices to heat and illuminate the mirror, depending on the user's needs. However, if the controller unit is damaged and requires repair, the front mirror typically needs to be removed, making repair inconvenient and complex. Some existing mirror cabinets have a maintenance port on the mirror door, covered with a cover. When the controller unit, located between the mirror and the cabinet door, needs repair, the cover can be removed and the controller unit repaired through the maintenance port. However, the maintenance port is typically secured with bolts and screws, making installation and removal difficult. Frequent assembly and disassembly can damage the screw holes, causing them to loosen and reducing the fixing strength. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems in the related art to a certain extent. To this end, the present invention provides a mirror door.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] The present invention also provides a mirror cabinet having the mirror door.

[0006] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the mirror door includes a lens, a mirror door housing, a control module and a cover plate, the lens is installed on the front side of the mirror door housing, a maintenance port is provided on the mirror door housing, the control module is placed in the maintenance port, the cover plate can be covered on the maintenance port from the rear side of the mirror door housing, the top wall of the maintenance port is provided with a first groove, the bottom wall of the maintenance port is provided with a buckle position, the top of the cover plate is provided with a protrusion, the bottom of the cover plate is provided with a spring buckle, the front side of the cover plate is provided with an elastic member, the protrusion is inserted into the first groove and the spring buckle is clamped to the buckle position so that the cover plate covers the maintenance port and compresses the elastic member, the rear side of the buckle position is provided with a through groove, and the through groove is connected to the buckle position, and the spring buckle can be lifted by inserting an external tool from the through groove into the buckle position.

[0007] The mirror door according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0008] 1. To install the cover plate of the present invention, insert the protrusion into the first groove and then press the cover plate in. The snap lock will then snap into place, completing the installation. The elastic member is now compressed, pushing the cover plate outward in the opposite direction. Due to the restraint of the protrusion and the snap lock, the cover plate is firmly pressed against the mirror door housing and prevents it from loosening. To remove the cover plate, insert a thin sheet through the through-slot and push the snap lock upward. As the elastic member continues to push outward, the snap lock will automatically pop out when it reaches the limit position away from the snap lock, allowing for removal without the need to pull it outward.

[0009] 2. The cover of the present invention is fixed with spring buckles, which is easy to assemble and disassemble. The cover is equipped with elastic parts to tighten the installed cover, which not only prevents the cover from loosening but also provides force for the cover to pop out automatically. The spring buckles are embedded in the maintenance port and cannot be touched from the outside, so the cover will not fall off due to misoperation.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member is a spring sheet, which is disposed on the left and right sides of the cover plate and is integrally formed with the cover plate.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first convex edge is provided on the four side walls of the maintenance port, a surrounding edge is provided on the four edges of the cover plate, and the elastic sheet is provided on the surrounding edge. When the cover plate is closed on the maintenance port, the surrounding edge abuts against the first convex edge, and the elastic sheet is deformed by being squeezed by the first convex edge.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a rear edge of the spring buckle is provided with an inclined surface sloping downward from the back to the front, and when the spring buckle is engaged in the buckle position, the inclined surface is aligned with the through slot.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, it also includes a loading flap, which is located behind the cover plate, and a rotating shaft seat is provided at the bottom of the left and right sides of the cover plate, and a rotating shaft column is provided at the bottom of the left and right sides of the loading flap. The loading flap is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft seat through the rotating shaft column, and the loading flap can be flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the rear side of the cover plate is recessed inward to form a notch, the spring catch is located below the notch, and the lower end of the rear side of the cargo flap has a flange, with the front end face of the bottom of the cargo flap as a limiting end face. When the cargo flap is flipped to a horizontal state, the bottom of the cargo flap is stuck in the notch, and the limiting end face abuts against the top wall of the notch, and the flange abuts against the bottom wall of the maintenance port. At the same time, the flange can prevent the spring catch from detaching from the buckle position.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a vertical arc groove is provided at the bottom of the cover plate, and an arc spring piece is provided at the bottom of the cargo loading flap. During the process of flipping the cargo loading flap from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the arc spring piece can always elastically deform and abut against the inner wall of the arc groove.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, during the process of flipping the cargo flap from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the elastic deformation of the arc-shaped spring piece increases from small to large and then to small, and the angle between the plate surface of the cargo flap and the vertical plane is taken as the flip angle α. When the flip angle α is x°, the arc-shaped spring piece reaches the maximum elastic deformation, and x is a value between 15-35.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rear side of the cover is provided with a second convex edge, the bottom of the second convex edge is provided with a second groove, and the top of the loading flap is provided with a smooth protrusion, and when the loading flap is folded, the smooth protrusion can be stuck in the second groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention 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, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5A mirror door includes a lens 100, a mirror door housing 200, a control module 300 and a cover plate 400. The mirror door housing 200 is made of plastic. The lens 100 is installed on the front side of the mirror door housing 200. A maintenance opening 210 is opened on the mirror door housing 200. The control module 300 is placed in the maintenance opening 210. The cover plate 400 can be covered on the maintenance opening 210 from the rear side of the mirror door housing 200. The top wall of the maintenance opening 210 is provided with a first groove, and the bottom wall of the maintenance opening 210 is provided with a buckle position 211. The buckle position 211 is a groove structure, a protrusion 410 is provided on the top of the cover plate 400, a spring buckle 420 is provided on the bottom of the cover plate 400, and an elastic member is provided on the front side of the cover plate 400. The protrusion 410 is inserted into the first groove and the spring buckle 420 is clamped on the buckle position 211 so that the cover plate 400 covers the maintenance port 210 and compresses the elastic member. A through groove 212 is provided on the rear side of the buckle position 211, and the through groove 212 is connected to the buckle position 211. The spring buckle 420 can be lifted by inserting an external tool from the through groove 212 into the buckle position 211.

[0034] Working Principle: When installing the cover plate 400, insert the protrusion 410 into the first groove, then press the cover plate 400 in. At this time, the spring catch 420 will snap into the buckle position 211, and the installation of the cover plate 400 is completed. At this time, the elastic member is compressed, and the cover plate 400 is pushed outward in the opposite direction. Due to the restraint of the protrusion 410 and the spring catch 420, the cover plate 400 is pressed tightly against the mirror door housing 200 and will not loosen. When removing, use a thin piece to insert it through the through groove 212 and push the spring catch 420 upward. Because the elastic member continues to push outward, when the spring catch 420 is pushed away from the buckle position 211, the cover plate 400 is automatically ejected, and there is no need to pull it outward to complete the removal.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member is a spring sheet 430 , which is disposed on the left and right sides of the cover plate 400 and is integrally formed with the cover plate 400 .

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first flange 213 is provided on the four side walls of the maintenance opening 210, a peripheral edge 440 is provided on the four edges of the cover 400, and a spring piece 430 is provided on the peripheral edge 440. When the cover 400 covers the maintenance opening 210, the peripheral edge 440 abuts against the first flange 213, and the spring piece 430 is squeezed by the first flange 213 and deformed.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rear edge of the spring buckle 420 is provided with a slope 421 that slopes downward from the rear to the front. When the spring buckle 420 is engaged with the buckle position 211, the slope 421 aligns with the through slot 212. When the sheet is inserted through the through slot 212, it abuts against the slope 421 and slides along the slope 421 to the bottom of the spring buckle 420, thereby lifting the spring buckle 420.

[0038] Some embodiments of the present invention further include a loading flap 500, which is located behind the cover 400. Axis seats 450 are provided on the left and right bottoms of the cover 400. Axis posts 510 are provided on the left and right bottoms of the loading flap 500. The loading flap 500 is rotatably connected to the axis seats 450 via the axis posts 510, allowing the loading flap 500 to flip from a vertical position to a horizontal position. The axis seats 450 are provided with a shaft hole. During installation, the axis posts 510 of the loading flap 500 are aligned with the shaft hole and pressed firmly into place. The loading flap 500 can be used to temporarily store small items, saving space in the maintenance opening 210.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the rear side of the cover plate 400 is recessed inward to form a notch 460. The spring catch 420 is located below the notch 460. The lower end of the rear side of the cargo loading flap 500 has a flange 520, with the front end surface of the bottom of the cargo loading flap 500 serving as a limiting end surface 530. When the cargo loading flap 500 is flipped to a horizontal position, the bottom of the cargo loading flap 500 is stuck in the notch 460, and the limiting end surface 530 abuts the top wall of the notch 460. The flange 520 abuts the bottom wall of the maintenance opening 210. At the same time, the flange 520 can prevent the spring catch 420 from disengaging from the locking position 211. The notch 460 and the flange 520 are both arranged in the left-right direction. When the existing flap is in use, the force is applied by the rotating shaft, which has poor force-bearing effect and is easy to fall off. When the cargo flap 500 of the present invention is turned down, the limiting end surface 530 presses against the top wall of the tight groove 460, and the flange 520 presses against the bottom wall of the maintenance opening 210, thereby supporting the cargo flap 500. Figure 6 As shown, the load flap 500 is now supported, and the two side pivot pins 510 are free of force, making it difficult for the load flap 500 to disengage. Furthermore, since the pivot pins 510 are not subject to force, the pivot pins 510 and the shaft hole do not need to be very strong. Reducing the strength at this location allows for easier deformation, making assembly easier. Simultaneously, the flange 520 of the load flap 500 presses against the bottom wall of the maintenance opening 210, precisely limiting the rebound of the spring catch 420 and locking it. At this point, no matter how the spring catch 420 is moved, it cannot disengage from the buckle position 211, preventing the entire cover 400 from being accidentally pulled out when placing items.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, a vertical arc-shaped groove 470 is provided at the bottom of the cover 400, and an arc-shaped spring piece 540 is provided at the bottom of the loading flap 500. When the loading flap 500 is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the arc-shaped spring piece 540 can always elastically deform and abut against the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 470. Figure 7As shown. Furthermore, arc-shaped grooves 470 are provided on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 400, and the arc-shaped grooves 470 are located beside the rotating shaft seat 450. Correspondingly, arc-shaped spring pieces 540 are provided on both the left and right sides of the cargo flap 500, and the arc-shaped spring pieces 540 are located beside the rotating shaft column 510. There is no buffering when the existing flap is flipped down, and the user experience is poor. The present invention provides an arc-shaped groove 470 and an arc-shaped spring piece 540. When the cargo flap 500 is flipped down, the arc-shaped spring piece 540 is slightly deformed and contacts the arc-shaped groove 470, achieving a buffering effect, while not affecting the flipping into place. The advantage of using an arc-shaped spring piece 540 in the present invention compared to a convex-concave fitting design is that the deformation of the arc-shaped spring piece 540 is large, and its elastic force is easy to control. At the same time, during use, when friction produces a small amount of wear, it has little effect on the elasticity. After the product has been used for a long time, it can still maintain a good elastic effect.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, during the process of flipping the loading flap 500 from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the elastic deformation of the arc-shaped spring piece 540 increases from small to large and then decreases. The angle between the plate surface of the loading flap 500 and the vertical plane is the flip angle α. When the flip angle α is x°, the arc-shaped spring piece 540 reaches the maximum elastic deformation. x is a value between 15-35. Figure 8 As shown, when the loading flap 500 is folded, the arc-shaped spring piece 540 is slightly deformed, so that the loading flap 500 is pressed tightly into the arc-shaped groove 470 with a certain force, thereby locking the loading flap 500. Figure 9 As shown, when the loading flap 500 rotates to a flip angle α of about 24°, the arc-shaped spring piece 540 reaches the maximum elastic deformation. Figure 8 Location Go to Figure 9 When the loading flap 500 is in the forward position, the deformation of the curved spring piece 540 increases, requiring an additional external force to complete the rotation. Conversely, if no external force is applied, the loading flap 500 will not rotate, thereby locking the loading flap 500 and preventing it from falling. The loading flap 500 of the present invention achieves the functions of upward locking and downward cushioning through the cooperation of the curved spring piece 540 and the curved groove 470.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, a second flange 480 is provided on the rear side of the cover 400, a second groove is provided at the bottom of the second flange 480, and a smooth protrusion 550 is provided on the top of the loading flap 500. When the loading flap 500 is folded, the smooth protrusion 550 can be stuck in the second groove.
