[0060] See also Figure 1A , which shows a perspective view of a cabinet 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1A As shown, the cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 102 and a cabinet door 120 connected to the cabinet body 102 .
[0061] In this embodiment, cabinet 100 is a built-in cabinet, whose cabinet body 102 is at least partially disposed or mounted on a wall (or a surface). Cabinet body 102 includes a flange 104 and a backlight assembly 106. Flange 104 and backlight assembly 106 are disposed around the edge of cabinet body 102. After cabinet body 102 is at least partially embedded in the wall, flange 104 and backlight assembly 106 protrude from the wall, allowing backlight assembly 106 to illuminate the wall and diffuse light through the wall, for example, to provide an ambient light effect.
[0062] It is worth noting that the cabinet 100 does not necessarily need to be embedded in a wall. In another embodiment, the cabinet 100 is a surface-mounted cabinet. The cabinet body 102 is connected to or mounted to a wall (or a surface) so that the backlight assembly 106 can illuminate the wall and utilize the wall to scatter light, for example, to provide an ambient light effect.
[0063] In some embodiments, the cabinet 100 may be a medicine cabinet, and the cabinet body 102 may include adjustable shelves to accommodate items of varying sizes. In some embodiments, the cabinet body 102 may include a double-layered aluminum frame. The aluminum frame includes two L-shaped (from a top view) exterior side walls that extend to an exterior rear wall to form a rigid structure. In some embodiments, the cabinet body 102 may be made of a variety of suitable materials, including but not limited to wood, plastic, glass, metal, and any combination thereof.
[0064] In some embodiments, the cabinet door 120 is connected to the cabinet body 102 via one or more hinges. In some embodiments, the cabinet door 120 can include an aluminum frame (e.g., a double-layer aluminum frame). In some embodiments, the cabinet door 120 can be made of a variety of suitable materials, including but not limited to wood, plastic, glass, metal, and any combination thereof.
[0065] like Figure 1A As shown, the front layer of the cabinet door 120 includes a reflective surface (for example, a mirror) with an integrated or built-in light source assembly. The light source assembly provides at least one light source to illuminate an object facing the reflective surface. For example, when the cabinet door 120 is in a closed position, the user faces the reflective surface provided on the outer layer of the cabinet door 120. The light source assembly on the reflective surface can illuminate the user. The inner layer of the cabinet door 120 may also include a reflective surface ( Figure 1A (not shown), the reflective surface has an integrated or built-in light source assembly, which provides at least one light source to illuminate objects facing the reflective surface and objects contained in the cabinet 102. For example, when the cabinet door 120 is in the open position, the user faces the reflective surface set on the inner layer of the cabinet door 120. The light source assembly on the reflective surface can illuminate the user and the objects in the cabinet 102, making it easier for the user to find the desired object. The cabinet 100 may also include a magnifying glass ( Figure 1A Not shown), it is detachably connected to the inner layer of the cabinet door. The connection position is the area surrounded by the integrated or built-in light source components on the inner layer. For detailed description, please refer to the following (refer to Figures 1C-1F ).
[0066] Figure 1B Shown Figure 1A A front view of the cabinet door 120 of the cabinet 100 shown in the embodiment. Figure 1B As shown, the cabinet door 120 includes an outer layer 130, which is disposed on a door frame 122 (eg, Figure 1DThe outer layer 130 includes a front reflective surface 132 (e.g., a mirror), an integrated or built-in outer light source assembly 134, and an integrated or built-in control panel 136.
[0067] In this embodiment, the outer layer light source assembly 134 is arranged along the peripheral edges (eg, top, bottom, left and right edges) of the outer layer 130. Figure 1B As shown, the outer layer 130 may further include a frosted edge 135. The frosted edge 135 appears hazy or translucent, rather than clear like the front reflective surface 132. The frosted edge 135 is provided to allow light from one or more light sources corresponding to the outer layer 130 (e.g., an outer light source assembly 134 embedded in or disposed behind the outer layer 130) to pass through. In one specific example, the frosted edge 135 can be achieved by sandblasting, grinding, or acid etching the edge of the outer layer 130, which creates a micro-texture in the treated area to scatter light passing through the edge, thereby producing a frosted effect. In another example, the frosted edge 135 can be obtained by applying a film having a frosted surface (e.g., made of vinyl or other plastic) to the edge of the outer layer 130.
[0068] The outer light source assembly 134 includes one or more light sources ( Figure 1B (not shown) and is embedded in or disposed behind the outer layer 130. By way of example and not limitation, the light source may be a light-emitting diode (LED), a fluorescent lamp, an incandescent lamp, or a halogen light source. The light source may be in the form of one or more light bars, a light array, a light tube, or a filament. It will be appreciated that the outer light source assembly 134 may utilize any suitable light source, and the type and form of the light source may be customized as needed.
[0069] like Figure 1B As shown, an integrated or built-in control panel 136 is formed on the outer layer 130 of the cabinet door 120. The control panel 136 includes one or more touch panels (or touch buttons) disposed on the front reflective surface 132 for receiving user input to control the on / off functions and adjust settings of one or more electronic components within the cabinet 100. The control panel 136 also includes a digital display. For example, the digital display can be used to display a digital clock and / or a temperature reading on the front reflective surface 132.
[0070] In a specific example, the control panel 136 includes one or more touch panels (or touch keys) that allow the user to synchronously or asynchronously control the outer light source assembly 134, the inner light source assembly 142 (such as Figure 1C ) and the backlight assembly 106 (as shown in Figure 1A ) switch.
[0071] In another embodiment, the control panel 136 includes one or more touch pads (or touch buttons) that allow the user to control the on / off function of a defogger, which can be used to remove fog or moisture from the reflective area provided on the front reflective surface 132 and / or the inner layer 140 of the cabinet door 120. In another embodiment, the control panel 136 includes one or more touch pads (or touch buttons) that allow the user to adjust and set a digital clock displayed on the front reflective surface.
[0072] The one or more touch pads (or touch buttons) included in the control panel 136 can detect input (such as user touch input) on the front reflective surface 132 through capacitive sensing and electronic circuits. The input received by the control panel 136 will be transmitted to the controller 172 (such as Figure 1C As shown in FIG. 1 , the controller 172 is located in a compartment 170 provided in the cabinet 102. The controller 172 and the power management module 178 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1C The power management module 178 is located in the compartment 170 of the cabinet 102. The controller 172 controls (e.g., switches and / or adjusts settings) the outer light source assembly 134 and the inner light source assembly 142 (e.g., switches and / or adjusts settings) according to the input received by the control panel 136. Figure 1C ), backlight assembly 106 (as shown in Figure 1A ) and demister 138 (as shown in Figure 1D ).
[0073] Figure 1C Shown Figure 1A An exploded view of the cabinet door 120 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows the interior of the cabinet body 102 and the back of the cabinet door 120. Figure 1C As shown, the cabinet door 120 includes an inner layer 140. The inner layer 140 and the outer layer 130 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1B The inner layer 140 is arranged on the door frame 122 (as shown). Figure 1D The inner side of the cabinet door 120 (as shown) is the side facing the user when the cabinet door 120 is open. The inner layer 140 is provided with a reflective area, namely a rear reflective surface 146. The inner layer 140 also includes an integrated or built-in inner light source assembly 142 and a magnifying mirror 160. The magnifying mirror 160 is detachably connected to the rear reflective surface 146, specifically in the area 148 formed by the inner light source assembly.
[0074] In this embodiment, the integrated or built-in inner layer light source assembly 142 is disposed in an inner region away from the edge of the inner layer 140. Figure 1CAs shown, an annular structure 144 is formed around the inner light source assembly 142 on the rear reflective surface. The annular structure 144 can be roughly elliptical, for example, an elliptical track with a straight portion. The annular structure 144 appears blurry or translucent, rather than clear like the rear reflective surface 146. The annular structure 144 is provided to allow light from one or more light sources corresponding to the inner layer 140 (for example, the inner light source assembly 142 embedded in or disposed behind the inner layer 140) to pass through. In a specific example, the annular structure 144 can be achieved by sandblasting, grinding, or acid etching the inner layer 140, which will produce a micro-texture at the treated location to scatter light passing through the edge, thereby producing a frosted effect. In another example, the annular structure 144 can be obtained by applying a film having a frosted surface (for example, made of vinyl or other plastic) to the inner layer 140.
[0075] In this embodiment, the inner light source assembly 142 includes one or more light sources ( Figure 1C (not shown) and is embedded in or disposed behind the inner layer 140. By way of example and not limitation, the light source may be a light-emitting diode (LED), fluorescent light, incandescent light, or halogen light. The light source may be in the form of one or more light bars, light arrays, tubes, or filaments. It will be appreciated that the inner light source assembly 142 may utilize any suitable light source, and the type and form of the light source may be customized as needed.
[0076] The inner light source assembly 142 surrounds an area 148 enclosed by the ring structure 144, which magnetically supports the magnifying mirror 160. In one embodiment, a metal plate is positioned behind the inner layer 140, the shape of the metal plate matching that of the area 148 (e.g., a roughly oval shape). The back of the magnifying mirror 160 includes magnets. Therefore, the magnifying mirror 160 can be magnetically attached to the area 148 on the rear reflective surface 146. Furthermore, because the metal plate covers the entire area 148 behind the inner layer 140, the magnifying mirror 160 can be attached to or detached from the rear reflective surface 146 at any location within the area 148. For example, the magnifying mirror 160 can be vertically adjusted up and down within the ring structure 144 to accommodate users of varying heights. Furthermore, because the inner light source assembly 142 illuminates through the ring structure 144, the light surrounding the magnifying mirror 160 better illuminates the magnified area, providing the user with a clearer view for more precise grooming or makeup application.
[0077] Specifically, the magnifying glass 160 is used to magnify a specific area that would be shadowed and difficult to see details without enhanced lighting, especially in low-light environments. The inner light source assembly 142 surrounding the magnifying glass 160 can act as its direct light source, illuminating the magnified area and reducing shadows. This allows the user to better see fine details, which is very helpful for tasks such as applying makeup, plucking hair, or inserting contact lenses. Because the magnifying glass 160 is attached to the well-lit area (e.g., area 148) formed by the inner light source assembly 142, the magnifying glass 160 does not require a built-in light ring or a separate power source.
[0078] Furthermore, to ensure more accurate color rendering, tasks such as applying makeup are best performed under natural light. However, good natural light isn't always available, especially in bathrooms, where lighting can be harsh or overhead. Adjusting the settings of the inner light source assembly 142 (e.g., color temperature and brightness) can better simulate natural light, providing a more neutral and balanced light source. Therefore, the use of the inner light source assembly 142 in conjunction with the magnifying mirror 160 facilitates more accurate application of tasks such as applying makeup.
[0079] Since the position of the magnifying glass 160 can be adjusted arbitrarily within the area 148 surrounded by the annular structure 144, the inner light source assembly 142 can provide better lighting no matter where the magnifying glass 160 is located in the area 148. For example, the setting height of the magnifying glass 160 can be adjusted to accommodate users of different heights, and users at all heights can experience good lighting effects.
[0080] like Figure 1C As shown, cabinet door 120 is connected to cabinet body 102 via one or more hinges (e.g., hinges 154A, 154B, and 154C). One or more power and control signal lines (or cables) 156 connect the electronic components in cabinet door 120 to controller 172 within compartment 170 of cabinet body 102.
[0081] In one embodiment, the cabinet 102 can be a medicine cabinet and can include adjustable shelves to accommodate objects of different sizes. The cabinet 102 includes an interior rear wall 174. In one embodiment, the interior rear wall 174 has a reflective surface so that when the cabinet door 120 is open, the interior rear wall 174 of the cabinet 102 can function as a mirror.
[0082] Figure 1D Shown Figure 1C The cabinet door 120 of the embodiment is cut along the line DD' to form a cross-sectional view. Figure 1E Shown Figure 1D FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion 120a of the cabinet door 120 shown in FIG. Figure 1D and1E As shown, cabinet door 120 includes a door frame 122, an outer layer 130 disposed on an outer side 124 of door frame 122, and an inner layer 140 disposed on an inner side 126 of door frame 122. In one embodiment, door frame 122 is made of a lightweight material, such as aluminum.
[0083] The outer layer light source assembly 134 is disposed along the outer edges (e.g., top, bottom, left, and right edges) of the outer layer 130. The outer layer light source assembly 134 includes one or more light sources embedded in or disposed behind the outer layer 130 (e.g., within a light chamber). The light sources are configured to illuminate through the frosted edge 135 of the outer layer 130.
[0084] Demisters 138 are positioned between and in contact with the outer layer 130 and inner layer 140, respectively. When in operation, demisters 138 prevent fogging on the front reflective surface 132 of the outer layer 130 and the back reflective surface 146 of the inner layer 140. In one embodiment, demisters 138 include one or more heating elements. When activated, the heat generated by the heating elements raises the surface temperature of the outer layer 130 (and inner layer 140) slightly above the dew point in the bathroom, the temperature at which condensation occurs. By maintaining the outer layer 130 and inner layer 140 at a higher temperature, moisture is prevented from condensing on the front reflective surface 132 and back reflective surface 146 (e.g., in area 148), thereby preventing fogging. Demisters 138 improve visibility after showering, eliminating the need to wait for fog or moisture to dissipate naturally.
[0085] The magnifying glass 160 is detachably connected to the region 148 within the annular structure 144 formed by the inner light source assembly 142. In this embodiment, the metal plate 150 is disposed behind the region 148 of the rear reflective surface 146. The metal plate 150 has a shape substantially identical to that of the region 148. Thus, the magnifying glass 160, which has the magnet 166 on its back, can be detachably connected to the region 148 of the rear reflective surface 146 through the magnetic force between the metal plate 150 and the magnet 166.
[0086] In another embodiment, a magnetic plate may be disposed behind region 148 of rear reflective surface 146. The magnetic plate may have a shape substantially identical to that of region 148. The back surface of magnifying glass 160 may include a metal plate (or any suitable metal component). In this manner, magnifying glass 160 can be removably attached to region 148 of rear reflective surface 146 through magnetic force between the magnetic plate and the metal component. It should be noted that the method for removably attaching magnifying glass 160 to region 148 of rear reflective surface 146 is not limited to magnetic force and may include other suitable connection methods.
[0087] The integrated or built-in inner light source assembly 142 is connected to the inner layer 140. Figure 1EAs shown, one or more light sources (e.g., light sources 152a, 152b, and 152c) are disposed behind the inner layer 140 (or may be embedded therein). Specifically, they may be disposed in a light chamber behind the annular structure 144. The light sources 152a-152c are controlled by the controller 172 according to the user's control panel 136 (e.g., Figure 1B Light sources 152a, 152b, and 152c can each adjust color temperature and brightness.
[0088] Figure 1F Shown Figure 1C Another embodiment shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the cabinet door 120, section 120b, taken along line D-D'. Figure 1E The portion 120 a shown is substantially similar, except that the inner layer light source assembly 142 of the portion 120 b has a shelf (or shelf support) instead of a light housing for securing one or more light sources 152 to the inner layer 140 .
[0089] Figure 1G Shown Figure 1A A side view of the cabinet 100 shown in the embodiment. Figure 1G As shown, the cabinet 102 includes an outer rear wall 112, an outer top wall 114, an outer bottom wall 116, and outer side walls 118. The cabinet 102 also includes a flange 104 located at a front end near the cabinet door 120. A backlight assembly 106 is disposed adjacent to (e.g., behind) the flange 104 of the cabinet 102, wherein the backlight assembly 106 is configured as an additional light source (e.g., to provide ambient light) in addition to the outer light source assembly 134 and the inner light source assembly 142 on the cabinet door 120.
[0090] The backlight assembly 106 includes one or more light sources (e.g., Figure 1H 104 ) and are arranged along the edge of the cabinet 102, adjacent to the flange 104. One or more light sources in the backlight assembly 106 are controlled by the controller 172 based on input provided by the user via the touch pad on the control panel 136. Each light source has an adjustable color temperature and brightness.
[0091] Figure 1H Shown Figure 1G The cabinet 100 shown in the embodiment is a cross-sectional view formed by cutting along line H-H'. Figure 1H As shown, the cabinet 102 includes an exterior rear wall 112 and exterior side walls 118 , wherein the exterior side walls 118 each have an L-shape that extends into the exterior rear wall 112 .
[0092] like Figure 1H As shown, the flange 104 and the backlight assembly 106 are disposed on the exterior sidewall 118 of the cabinet 102. Figure 1H 1 and 1 . Although not shown, the flange 104 and the backlight assembly 106 are also disposed on the exterior top wall 114 and the exterior bottom wall 116. An interior rear wall 174 of the cabinet 102 is located within the cabinet 102 and abuts the exterior rear wall 112. The interior rear wall 174 has a reflective surface such that when the cabinet door 120 is open, the interior rear wall 174 of the cabinet 102 can function as a mirror.
[0093] It should be noted that when the cabinet 102 is built into (or inserted into) the wall, the flange 104 and the backlight assembly 106 protrude from the wall (rather than being built into or inserted into the wall) so that the backlight assembly 106 can illuminate the wall and diffuse light through the wall. In one embodiment, when the cabinet door 120 is in a closed position, the backlight assembly 106 can project light from behind the flange 104 to provide ambient lighting. In another example, when the cabinet door 120 is in an open position, when the user is facing the back of the cabinet door 120 (e.g., the inner layer 140), the backlight assembly 106 can serve as an additional light source to supplement the lighting provided by the inner layer light source assembly 142 from different angles. In another example, when the cabinet door 120 is in an open position, when the user is looking at the interior rear wall 174 of the cabinet 102, the backlight assembly 106 provides ambient light around the cabinet 102 to illuminate objects in and around the cabinet 102.
[0094] like Figure 1G and 1H As shown, compartment 170 is located near the top of cabinet 102. A controller 172 is located within compartment 170. Compartment 170 may also include a power management module 178 (e.g., having one or more power adapters, converters, and / or transformers). Power management module 178 receives input power (e.g., AC or DC) via one or more power cords 198 and provides power to electronic components within cabinet 100. Compartment 170 may also include one or more outlets 176 on its bottom surface, which may be power and USB outlets.

Figure 2B Shown Figure 2A A rear view 160B of the magnifying glass 160 is shown in the embodiment shown. Figure 2C Shown Figure 2A A side view 160C of the magnifying glass 160 is shown in the embodiment shown. Figures 2A-2CAs shown, magnifying mirror 160 has a front magnifying surface 162 on one side and a rear side 164 on the other side. Front magnifying surface 162 has a concave surface to facilitate magnification. In some embodiments, magnifying mirror 160 can have a magnification factor ranging from 2x to 10x. Rear side 164 can include a magnet 166 positioned in the center of rear side 164. Rear side 164 can also include one or more cushioning pads 168 that can provide cushioning when the magnifying mirror is attached to region 148 of rear reflective surface 146.
