[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cabinet body of this embodiment includes a main frame 1, a track assembly, and a side panel 4. In this embodiment, the main frame 1 is a metal frame structure. Specifically, the main frame 1 is welded from square iron pipes. In other embodiments, the main frame 1 can also be a frame structure of other materials, such as a steel pipe frame structure or a wooden frame structure. The outer contour of the main frame 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and its upper surface along the height direction is a closed plane. A accommodating cavity is formed in the main frame 1, which is open on one side along the first direction (X direction in the figure). The accommodating cavity is in the shape of a cubic cavity, and the opening is in the shape of a rectangle. The accommodating cavity is used to accommodate a drawer 2, and the drawer 2 can move in and out of the opening of the accommodating cavity. A first plug-in structure 11 is provided on both sides of the main frame 1 along the second direction (Y direction in the figure). The cabinet body also includes a track assembly, which includes two slide rails 3 arranged in the main frame 1 at intervals along the second direction. The slide rails 3 extend along the first direction, and the slide rails 3 can be used for the drawer 2 to slide. In this embodiment, the slide rails 3 are angle irons, which are fixedly connected to the relative inner side of the main frame 1 along the second direction by welding. In other embodiments, the slide rails 3 can be other materials, such as wooden slide rails, plastic slide rails, stainless steel slide rails, and the slide rails 3 can be fixed to the main frame 1 by bolting, bonding or riveting. The two side panels 4 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the main frame 1 along the second direction. The side panels 4 are used to cover the guide rails 3 and increase the overall aesthetics of the cabinet body. Specifically, a second plug-in structure 41 is provided on the side panel 4, which is plugged into and matched with the first plug-in structure 11. The main frame 1 and the side panel 4 are plugged and fixed through the cooperation between the first plug-in structure 11 and the second plug-in structure 41. The first direction and the second direction are two mutually perpendicular directions in the horizontal plane.

[0037] The cabinet of this embodiment is provided with a first plug-in structure 11 on the main frame and a second plug-in structure 41 on the side panel 4. The side panel 4 is fixed to the main frame 1 by plugging and fixing the first plug-in structure 11 and the second plug-in structure 41. Compared with the installation method of fixing the side panel with screws, the installation method of the side panel 4 of this embodiment does not require the use of other tools, and has the technical effect of simple operation and low installation difficulty.

[0038] In one embodiment, the side panel 4 includes a side panel body and a second plug-in structure 41. The second plug-in structure 41 is a plug-in component integrally formed with the side panel body, such as a plug-in tab or a latch. The first plug-in structure 11 is a slot. The slot has a notch extending along the height of the main frame 1. The main frame 1 has two slots with opposite notches at the top and bottom ends. The side panel 4 has two corresponding plug-in components at the top and bottom ends. The two plug-in components are inserted into the two slots, respectively, to improve the stability of the connection between the side panel 4 and the main frame 1.

[0039] Alternatively, the slot has a notch along a first direction, two slots with notches in opposite directions are provided on either side of the main frame 1 along the first direction, and two connectors are correspondingly provided on either side of the side panel 4 along the first direction. The two connectors are respectively inserted into the two slots to improve the stability of the connection between the side panel 4 and the main frame 1.

[0040] It is worth noting that in both embodiments described above, to accommodate the appropriate bending and deformation of the side panels 4 during installation on the main frame 1, the side panels 4 are both constructed of elastic rectangular plates, such as wood or metal. Obviously, when the slots are provided in the main frame 1 and the connectors are provided in the side panels 4, the side panels are easier to manufacture and are more easily bent and deformed.

[0041] When assembling the side panel 4 to the main frame 1, the specific operation method is to first align the connector at one end of the side panel 4 with the slot so that the two are plugged into each other, and then bend the side panel 4 appropriately so that the connector at the other end plugs into the slot. Obviously, because the notches of the two slots in the same first plug-in structure 11 are in opposite directions, after the two connectors of the side panel 4 are inserted into the slot, the slot can limit and fix the side panel 4, so that the entire side panel 4 is fixed to the side of the main frame 1.

[0042] More specifically, in order to reduce the difficulty of inserting the connector into the slot, the connector adopts an insert piece, and the insert piece is arranged as a trapezoid as a whole, and the width of the end inserted into the slot along the first direction is smaller than the end connected to the side panel body.

[0043] In other embodiments, the slot has a notch along the second direction, which can clamp and fix the connector by limiting the size of the slot. The slot can belong to either the first plug-in structure 11 or the second plug-in structure 41, that is, the slot can be set on either the main frame 1 or the side panel 4.

[0044] At the same time, decorative patterns can be drawn or engraved on the side panels 4, or a decorative layer can be attached to further enhance the aesthetics.

[0045] In one embodiment, the main frame 1 may have multiple accommodating cavities, distributed along the height of the main frame 1. The cabinet can accommodate a number of drawers 2, the same number of accommodating cavities as the number of accommodating cavities, or the accommodating cavities can simultaneously accommodate multiple drawers 2, with the multiple drawers 2 arranged within the accommodating cavities along the height of the main frame 1. In this case, the height of the side panels 4 is greater than their width along the first direction, making it easier for the side panels 4 to bend and deform along the height direction. In this case, connectors are provided at the upper and lower ends of the side panels 4, and slots are also provided at the upper and lower ends of the main frame 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of inserting the connectors into the slots.

[0046] In other embodiments, the accommodating cavity can only accommodate one drawer 2 because the height of the drawer 2 is usually smaller than its length. At this time, the connector is arranged on both sides of the side panel 4 along the first direction, and the slots corresponding to the connector on the same side panel 4 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the main frame 1 along the first direction.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the main frame 1 is provided with side brackets on opposite sides along the second direction. The side brackets are rectangular frame structures. Based on the arrangement that the accommodating cavity can accommodate multiple drawers 2 along the height direction, each side bracket is provided with at least one crossbar 12, and the crossbar 12 extends along the first direction. Furthermore, the crossbar 12 and the slide rail 3 are staggered in the height direction of the side bracket. Adhesive is applied to the opposite outer sides of the crossbar 12 along the second direction for bonding the side panels 4 and the crossbar 12, thereby making the connection between the side panels 4 and the main frame 1 more secure. In other embodiments, as the size of the cabinet body and the drawer cabinet changes, the number of crossbars 12 on each side bracket can be appropriately increased to two, three, or more, and multiple crossbars 12 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the side bracket.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a support leg 13 is further provided at the lower portion of the main frame 1, so that the drawer placed in the accommodating cavity is separated from the ground by a certain distance, which has the technical effects of moisture-proof, ventilation, and easy cleaning.

[0049] The present invention also provides a chest of drawers, comprising the cabinet body described in the above embodiment and a drawer 2 for storing items. The drawer 2 can be in a first state in which it is completely located within a storage cavity and in a second state in which it is at least partially located outside the storage cavity through an opening. The drawer 2 is provided with a handle 21, and force applied to the handle 21 enables the drawer 2 to switch between the first and second states.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
