Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture, and in particular to an expandable modular cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In modern home design, modular cabinets are widely popular due to their flexibility and adaptability to different spaces.
[0003] However, most modular cabinets are designed with fixed-size units. The smallest unit itself cannot be expanded and can only be expanded by adding additional units. Therefore, the smallest unit limits the size of the items that can be stored and restricts its application in different spaces and storage needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the smallest combination unit of traditional splicing cabinets cannot be expanded.

[0006] The left side panel, the right side panel, the bottom panel, and the top panel are joined together to form the frame structure of the modular cabinet; the three side panels, the front panel, and the bottom panel are joined together to form the drawer-type structure of the modular cabinet, and the drawer-type structure is embedded in the frame structure.
[0007] A removable central partition installed inside the frame structure; a top plate extension and a top plate supplement that can be spliced with the top plate;
[0008] The width of the modular cabinet can be adjusted by adding or removing the bottom plate, the middle partition, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement.
[0009] The modular cabinet has two expansion methods: the first is a parallel expansion method that does not change the minimum drawer-type structure, and the second is an extension expansion method that expands the minimum drawer-type structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the base plate can be connected to the left side plate, the right side plate, and the middle partition plate via a first slot structure, and the base plate can be connected to the surrounding plate via a second slot structure; the top plate, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement can be connected to the left side plate, the right side plate, and the middle partition plate via a third slot structure; the top plate, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement are connected to each other via the third slot structure.
[0011] Furthermore, when expanding in a parallel manner, for each additional minimum drawer-type structure added to the modular cabinet, one each of the bottom plate, the middle partition, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement needs to be added; the bottom plate and the middle partition are assembled sequentially in the order of bottom plate, middle partition, bottom plate, and the top plate, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement are assembled sequentially in the order of top plate, top plate extension, top plate supplement.
[0012] When the drawer-type structure is widened by extension, each additional minimum drawer-type structure requires one additional bottom plate, one additional middle partition, one additional top plate extension, and one additional top plate supplement. The bottom plate and the middle partition are assembled in the order of bottom plate, middle partition, bottom plate, and the top plate, the top plate extension, and the top plate supplement are assembled in the order of top plate, top plate extension, top plate supplement.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the panel 5 is connected to the base plate 1. The upper center of the side of the panel 5 away from the base plate 1 is provided with a handle 501. The left and right ends of the panel 5 near the base plate 1 are provided with mounting holes 103, and screws are used in the mounting holes 103 to connect the panel 5 to the base plate 1.
[0036] The left side panel 2, the right side panel 3, the bottom panel 1, and the top panel 6 are spliced together to form the frame structure of the cabinet; the three side panels 9, the front panel 5, and the bottom panel 1 are spliced together to form the drawer-type structure of the cabinet, and the drawer-type structure is embedded in the frame structure; by pushing and pulling the handle 501 on the front panel 5, the drawer-type structure can be pulled out or put back into the frame structure.
[0037] The frame structure includes a removable partition 4; a top plate extension 7 and a top plate supplement 8 that can be spliced with the top plate 6; the width of the splicing cabinet can be adjusted by adding or removing the bottom plate 1, the partition 4, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8.
[0038] The modular cabinet has two expansion methods: the first is a parallel expansion method that does not change the minimum drawer-type structure, and the second is an extension expansion method that expands the minimum drawer-type structure.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown at point A, the base plate 1 can be connected to the left side plate 2, the right side plate 3 and the middle partition plate 4 through the first slot structure 11, and the base plate 1 can be connected to the surrounding plate 9 through the second slot structure 12.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown at point B, the top plate 6, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8 can be connected to the left side plate 2, the right side plate 3, and the middle partition plate 4 through the third slot structure 13.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown at point C, the top plate 6, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8 are connected by a third slot structure 13.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when expanding in a parallel manner, for each additional minimum drawer-type structure added to the splicing cabinet, one each of the base plate 1, the middle partition 4, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8 needs to be added. The base plate 1 and the middle partition 4 are spliced in the order of base plate 1, middle partition 4, and base plate 1, and the top plate 6, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8 are spliced in the order of top plate 6, top plate extension 7, and top plate supplement 8.
[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the drawer-type structure is widened by extension, each additional minimum drawer-type structure requires one additional bottom plate 1, one additional middle partition 4, one additional top plate extension 7, and one additional top plate supplement 8. The bottom plate 1 and the middle partition 4 are assembled sequentially in the order of bottom plate 1, middle partition 4, bottom plate 1, and the top plate 6, the top plate extension 7, and the top plate supplement 8 are assembled sequentially in the order of top plate 6, top plate extension 7, top plate supplement 8.
[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the panel 5 is provided with splicing holes 502 on the left and right sides of the side close to the base plate 1. When the splicing cabinet is extended and widened, two or more panels 5 are placed side by side, and splicing pins 503 are inserted into the splicing holes 502 of different panels 5 to realize the splicing expansion of the panels 5.
[0045] The first slot structure 11 includes a rectangular protrusion 111 and a rectangular groove 112; the second slot structure 12 includes an L-shaped protrusion 121 and an L-shaped groove 122; and the third slot structure 13 includes a trapezoidal protrusion 131 and a trapezoidal groove 132. The rectangular slots serve both a fixing function and allow the drawer-type structure to be pulled out of the assembled cabinet, while the L-shaped and trapezoidal slots increase the stability of the splicing between panels.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the rectangular protrusion 111 of the base plate 1 is also provided with a fixing hole 101, and the rectangular groove 112 of the base plate 1 is also provided with a fixing clip 102.
[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixing clip 102 includes a fixing clip head 1021 and a spring 1022. When the rectangular protrusion 111 is inserted into the rectangular groove 112, the fixing clip 102 engages with the fixing hole 101, at which point the fixing clip head 1021 abuts against the inner side of the fixing hole 101. When the splicing cabinet is widened by extension, the fixing clip 102 can increase the connection strength and stability between the two base plates 1.
[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
