Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of furniture manufacturing, in particular to a cabinet structure and a cupboard. Background Art

[0002] Customized home furnishings are currently developing well, and the market demand for them is relatively strong. Man-made boards have become the main base material for customized home furnishings. For cabinet structures, three-in-one hardware connectors are mainly used to connect vertical and horizontal boards together, and the corners are usually right-angled. However, if the corners need to be arc-shaped, plywood or multi-layer boards need to be hot-pressed and bent, or solid wood structures need to be used, or aluminum alloys need to be used. Their customizability and cost are not as good as particleboard and medium-density fiberboard, which increases the difficulty of promoting rounded corners in cabinets. For aluminum alloy curved corner structures, corner brackets need to be used for tightening, and wooden boards need to be inlaid on the aluminum alloy, making the structure more complicated. Moreover, existing curved corners are all part of the cabinet structure and need to bear weight, but curved corners cannot be locked using three-in-one hardware connectors, making the product less stable and more difficult to install. Utility Model Content
