Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cabinet structures, and particularly discloses a cabinet structure with side supports for top and bottom hinges. Background Art

[0002] A floor hinge is a widely used connection device in furniture and architectural hardware, particularly suitable for applications requiring concealed hinges or specialized opening methods. They are typically mounted at the top or bottom of a door or cabinet, allowing the door panel to open perpendicular to the cabinet, offering a novel opening method compared to traditional side-mounted hinges.

[0003] To share the load of the horizontal panels on the top and bottom hinges and avoid cracking or loosening of the joints caused by excessive load on the horizontal panels, some existing cabinet structures have top and bottom hinges that are connected not only to the horizontal panels but also to the vertical panels. For example, patent CN202322156095 proposes a cabinet structure with top and bottom hinges, which connect the top and bottom hinges to the horizontal and vertical panels of the cabinet with screws. The vertical panels are connected to the top and bottom hinges, thereby reducing the load of the horizontal panels on the top and bottom hinges.

[0004] However, the patent uses screws to connect the top and bottom hinges to the horizontal and vertical panels. Since the screws must pass through the connection holes in the hinge box and then be threaded onto the vertical panels to secure them, the inside of the hinge box must be unobstructed to facilitate the screwing operation from the inside out. After being secured, the hinge box is exposed and protrudes, requiring the installation of an aluminum crossbeam over the hinge box to cover it. This reduces the aesthetics of the cabinet surface and is detrimental to assembly efficiency. Therefore, a cabinet structure with side-supported top and bottom hinges is needed, which is easier to install, more efficient, and more aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a cabinet structure with side supports for top and bottom hinges.

[0006] The utility model discloses a cabinet structure with side supports for top and bottom hinges, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cabinet structure with side supports for top and bottom hinges, comprising:

[0008] The transverse plate is a component of the cabinet structure. The front end of the transverse plate is hollowed out along the direction of the top and bottom hinges to form a mounting groove.

[0009] A vertical plate body, as another component of the cabinet structure, is spliced with the horizontal plate body;

[0010] The top and bottom hinges are accommodated in the mounting slots and kept relatively fixed;

[0011] At least one support member is used to connect the top and bottom hinges and the vertical plate. One end of the support member remains relatively fixed with one of the top and bottom hinges or the vertical plate, and the other end of the support member is laterally embedded in the other to form a vertical limiting support.

[0012] Preferably, the support member is detachably installed between the top and bottom hinges and the vertical plate.

[0013] Preferably, a threaded column is provided at one end of the support member and a plug-in column is provided at the other end.

[0014] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided at one end of the top and bottom hinge close to the vertical plate body for cooperation with the threaded column, and a plug hole is provided at one side of the vertical plate body close to the top and bottom hinge for cooperation with the plug column.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] This embodiment discloses a cabinet structure with side support for the top and bottom hinges, referring to Figure 1-3 , which includes a horizontal plate 1, a vertical plate 2, a top and bottom hinge 3 and at least one support member 4.

[0029] Among them, the horizontal plate 1, as a component of the cabinet structure, can be a top plate or a bottom plate, and the front end surface of the horizontal plate 1 is hollowed out along the installation direction of the top and bottom hinges 3 to form a mounting groove 11; the vertical plate 2, as another component of the cabinet structure, can be a left and right side panel, and the vertical plate 2 is spliced with the horizontal plate 1; the top and bottom hinges 3 are accommodated in the mounting groove 11 of the horizontal plate 1 and remain relatively fixed, and the front end of the top and bottom hinges 3 are exposed at the opening of the mounting groove 11 for connecting the door leaf. Specifically, the top and bottom hinges 3 are provided with fasteners along their installation direction to connect with the horizontal plate 1 for fixation; the support member 4 is used to connect the top and bottom hinges 3 and the vertical plate 2, one end of the support member 4 remains relatively fixed with one of the top and bottom hinges 3 or the vertical plate 2, and the other end of the support member 4 is laterally embedded in the other to form a vertical limit support.

[0030] This solution installs a support member 4 between the vertical plate 2 and the top and bottom hinge 3, so that the vertical plate 2 bears part of the load of the top and bottom hinge 3 installed with the door leaf on the horizontal plate 1. This not only enhances the connection stability of the top and bottom hinge 3, but also extends the service life of the cabinet structure. Moreover, one end of the support member 4 is relatively fixed to the top and bottom hinge 3 or one of the vertical plate 2 (which can be fixed by thread, integrally formed or interference fit), and the other end is connected in a horizontally embedded support manner, so that the installation operation of the top and bottom hinge 3 can be carried out on its outside, without the need to screw from the inside of the hinge to the outside as in the traditional screw connection method, making it more convenient for workers to assemble and improving installation efficiency. Moreover, the top and bottom hinge 3 can be installed in the installation groove 11 of the horizontal plate 1 in an embedded manner, which not only improves the overall aesthetics of the cabinet structure, but also improves the connection stability of the top and bottom hinge 3. In addition, unlike the traditional screw connection method that requires the hinge and the side panel to be fitted and tightened, the side support method of this solution ensures the stable connection between the top and bottom hinges 3 and the vertical plate 2 while allowing a distance between the two. This makes this structure not only suitable for full-cover hinge connection methods, but also for half-cover hinge connection methods in which there is a certain distance between the hinge and the side panel, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of installation and is particularly in line with the installation requirements of customized cabinets for the whole house.

[0031] As a preferred solution, the support member 4 is a reinforcing column, which can be connected and supported by means of embedded reinforcement at both ends of the column, with better connection stability and easier assembly. Specifically, a plug-in column 41 is provided at one end of the reinforcing column and a threaded column 42 is provided at the other end. By adopting the above design, the support member 4 can be disassembled separately so as to replace different lengths to adapt to the installation of a semi-covered or fully covered hinge. The threaded connection and the plug-in end positions of the reinforcing column are interchangeable. As a preferred solution, the reinforcing column is threadedly connected to the top and bottom hinge 3, and the top and bottom hinge 3 is provided with a threaded hole 31 that is connected to the threaded column 42 at one end close to the vertical plate 2, and the vertical plate 2 is provided with a plug-in hole 21 that is connected to the plug-in column 41 on the side close to the top and bottom hinge 3. In this way, it is convenient for workers to first thread the reinforcing column to the side end of the top and bottom hinge 3, and then assemble the horizontal plate 1 and the vertical plate 2, making the installation process smoother. Preferably, the end of the plug-in column 41 is provided with a chamfer (a chamfered right angle in this embodiment, but of course it can also be a rounded angle) to facilitate workers to insert the plug-in column 41 of the support member 4 into the plug-in hole 21 of the vertical plate 2 more easily.

[0032] In other embodiments, the support member 4 may be composed of more than one detachably connected splicing members. For example, the splicing member may be based on the above-mentioned reinforcing column, and an internal threaded hole may be modified at the end of the plug-in column 41. The internal threaded hole of the splicing member matches the threaded column 42 of another splicing member. In this way, multiple splicing members can be spliced or removed front and back, and the length of the support member can be adjusted by changing the number of connections to achieve the adaptation and installation of a semi-cover or full-cover hinge.

[0033] In other embodiments, the support member 4 can also be integrally formed at the side of the top and bottom hinge 3. This also ensures good connection stability of the top and bottom hinge 3. Flexible installation of a semi-cover or full-cover hinge can also be achieved by replacing the top and bottom hinge 3 with support members 4 of different lengths. Furthermore, the above two support member structures can be combined by threading an additional splicing member at the end of the support member 4 integrally formed with the top and bottom hinge 3, similarly achieving the effect of flexibly changing the support member length to adapt the installation.

[0034] As a preferred solution, the cabinet structure also includes a covering block 5, which is arranged between the top and bottom hinges 3 and the vertical plate 2 and blocks the gap therebetween, so that when the side ends of the top and bottom hinges 3 are arc-shaped, or when a semi-cover hinge connection method is used, the gap left between the top and bottom hinges 3 and the vertical plate 2 can be blocked by the covering block 5, thereby reducing the dust accumulation problem and improving the aesthetics of the cabinet structure.

[0035] The technical solution provided by the present invention is introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
