Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet technology, specifically to a crossbeam suitable for cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards gradually improve, their demands for the aesthetics and practicality of furniture products are also increasing. Currently, cabinets on the market often have very large top and bottom beams to ensure overall stability, making them look bulky and aesthetically unappealing. Furthermore, the shape of these beams is a personalized design based on the cabinet's function and personal aesthetic preferences, lacking a unified standard. This results in a limited functional structure and versatility for existing beam technology. For cabinet series, the inability to use universal beams leads to increased product design complexity, low production and assembly efficiency, and high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum crossbeam for cabinets, which improves the aesthetics of the cabinet appearance by solving the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

[0004] A cabinet aluminum crossbeam includes a crossbeam body, an inclined surface formed on the outer side of the crossbeam body, the inclined surface being inclined toward the inner side of the crossbeam body; a first vertical surface connected to the cabinet surface is formed on the inner side of the crossbeam body; an inwardly recessed receiving groove is formed on the upper or lower surface of the crossbeam body; the receiving groove is composed of a first wall surface, a second wall surface and a third wall surface connecting the first wall surface and the second wall surface, which are arranged opposite to each other; and a through wiring hole is provided inside the crossbeam body.

[0005] Preferably, the first wall surface and the second wall surface are respectively formed with a first protrusion and a second protrusion; the first protrusion and the second protrusion are respectively formed with an inwardly recessed first groove and a second groove on the side away from the third wall surface.

[0006] Preferably, the two sides of the receiving groove are flush.

[0007] Preferably, the first wall surface and the second wall surface are provided with a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion respectively; the third protrusion has a first chamfered surface on the side near the opening of the receiving groove; the first chamfered surface is inclined toward the third wall surface; the fourth protrusion has a second chamfered surface on the side near the opening of the receiving groove; the second chamfered surface is inclined toward the third wall surface.

[0008] Preferably, the receiving groove is higher on one side and lower on the other; the first wall is lower than the second wall; the third protrusion is located on the end of the first wall away from the third wall.

[0009] Preferably, a notch is formed on the upper or lower surface of the main body of the beam, and the notch leads into the interior of the main body of the beam.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] The main body of the crossbeam features a partially sloping design, which visually reduces the width of the crossbeam on the front of the cabinet, lessening the bulkiness of the cabinet and enhancing its aesthetics. Secondly, the main body of the crossbeam can be partially cut off. For example, one side of the receiving groove can be removed, creating a stepped platform on the inner side. This stepped platform design allows the cabinet surface to be processed into a T-shape, resting on the platform between the two crossbeams. The edge of the cabinet surface covers the first horizontal surface of the crossbeam, further reducing the perceived width of the crossbeam when viewed from above. Furthermore, glass or other decorative cabinet surfaces can be connected above the stepped platform, while other materials such as wood panels or other cabinet surfaces can be connected below, allowing for the connection of two different materials between the two main body crossbeams to meet the needs of different customer groups. The cut receiving groove can serve as a light strip channel and also be used to splice vertical side panels. Furthermore, a notch can be cut off from the upper or lower surface of the main body of the crossbeam to create a slot for connecting vertical side panels, while retaining the receiving groove for use as a light strip channel. This utility model is highly versatile and can meet the needs of cabinets with different functions. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] See the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment: an aluminum crossbeam for a cabinet, including a crossbeam body 1. An inclined surface 10 is formed on the outer side of the crossbeam body 1, and the inclined surface 10 slopes towards the inner side of the crossbeam body 1. The outer side of the crossbeam body 1 refers to the side facing the user's viewpoint during use; conversely, the side connected to the cabinet surface is the inner side. The inclined surface structure visually reduces the thickness of the crossbeam body 1, decreases the bulkiness of the cabinet, and enhances its aesthetics. The outer inclined surface structure can be one as shown in the attached figure, or two inclined surfaces symmetrically distributed. A first vertical surface 11 connected to the cabinet surface is formed on the inner side of the crossbeam body 1; an inwardly recessed receiving groove is formed on the upper or lower surface of the crossbeam body 1; the receiving groove consists of a first wall surface 12, a second wall surface 13 arranged opposite to each other, and a third wall surface 14 connecting the first wall surface 12 and the second wall surface 13; a through wiring hole 15 is provided inside the crossbeam body 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the first wall surface 12 and the second wall surface 13 are respectively provided with a first protrusion 16 and a second protrusion 17; the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17 are respectively provided with an inwardly recessed first groove 18 and a second groove 19 on the side away from the third wall surface 14. This design is mainly to facilitate the use of the receiving groove as a light strip groove, so that the light strip can be locked in the receiving groove without fasteners.

[0024] Furthermore, when the receiving groove is used as a light strip groove, the two sides of the receiving groove are flush, and the crossbeam has an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0025] Furthermore, the first wall surface 12 and the second wall surface 13 are respectively formed with a third protrusion 20 and a fourth protrusion 21; the third protrusion 20 has a first chamfered surface 200 on the side near the opening of the receiving groove; the first chamfered surface 200 is inclined towards the third wall surface 14; the fourth protrusion 21 has a second chamfered surface 210 on the side near the opening of the receiving groove; the second chamfered surface 210 is inclined towards the third wall surface 14. The number of receiving grooves on the crossbeam body 1 can be one or more. When the number of receiving grooves is one, the third protrusion 20 and the fourth protrusion 21 tend to be closer to the third wall surface 14; the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17 tend to be farther away from the third wall surface 14. When the number of receiving grooves is more than one, the third protrusion 20 and the fourth protrusion 21, the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17 can be distributed in different receiving grooves.

[0026] Further, refer to the appendix. Figure 2 As shown, the receiving groove is higher on one side and lower on the other; the first wall surface 12 is lower than the second wall surface 13; the third protrusion 20 is located at the end of the first wall surface 11 away from the third wall surface 14. A stepped platform is formed on the inner side of the main beam 1, which can be matched with a T-shaped cabinet or two different materials.

[0027] Furthermore, a notch 22 is formed on the upper or lower surface of the main body of the crossbeam, the notch 22 leading into the interior of the main body of the crossbeam 1, for fitting a vertical side plate.

[0028] This utility model is attached with Figure 1 The main body of the beam shown is used as an example, with appendix. Figure 1 The main body 1 of the crossbeam has only one receiving slot. The aesthetics and versatility of this embodiment are reflected in the fact that the main body 1 of the crossbeam adopts a partially sloping form in its shape, which visually reduces the width of the crossbeam on the front of the cabinet to a certain extent, reduces the bulkiness of the cabinet, and improves its aesthetics. Secondly, it has multiple uses.

[0029] Usage 1: The main body 1 of the crossbeam remains unchanged, and the receiving groove can be used as a light strip groove. The light strip 23 is secured in the first slot 18 and the second slot 19 on both sides, allowing the light strip 23 to be accommodated in the receiving groove without the need for fasteners. The first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17 provide restraint for the light strip 23. The wires of the light strip 23 can also be accommodated in the receiving groove and located on the back of the light strip 23, or they can be placed in the wiring hole 15.

[0030] Furthermore, a decorative panel or a composite decorative panel can be connected between the first vertical surfaces 11 of the two main crossbeams 1. (See attached instruction manual.) Figure 3 The composite finish shown includes a wood panel 30 (invisible during use) + a finish 31 (decorative finishes such as painted glass, fabric panel, and leather panel). This type of composite finish structure has strong load-bearing capacity and a more beautiful appearance.

[0031] Usage 2: The receiving slot can also be used to connect the vertical side panels of the cabinet. One end of the side panel is received in the receiving slot.

[0032] Furthermore, to make the connection between the vertical cabinet surface and the main beam more aesthetically pleasing, as per the instruction manual... Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure -7, one side of the receiving groove is partially cut off, and the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17 are removed, while the third protrusion 20 and the fourth protrusion 21 are retained. After the cut-off, one side of the receiving groove is higher than the other side; the first wall surface 12 is lower than the second wall surface 13; the third protrusion 20 is located at the end of the first wall surface 12 away from the third wall surface 14. The vertical side plate 32 has chamfers on its outer peripheral edges near the first chamfer surface 200 and the second chamfer surface 210, which match the angles of the first chamfer surface 200 and the second chamfer surface 210, allowing the side plate 32 to be spliced ​​with the first chamfer surface 200 and the second chamfer surface 210 respectively. This design can both contain the edges of the side plate 32, preventing them from being exposed and improving aesthetics, and also increase the contact area and improve the connection strength.

[0033] Usage 3: For example Figure 5 As shown, based on the crossbeam of usage 2, the receiving slot is higher on one side and lower on the other. A stepped platform is formed on the inner side of the main body of the crossbeam, and a T-shaped cabinet 33 is used, which is mounted on the stepped platform of the two crossbeams. The two sides of the T-shaped cabinet 33 cover the receiving slot, which also reduces the width of the crossbeam when viewed from above to a certain extent.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a decorative panel 31 or other decorative cabinet surface can be connected between the first vertical surfaces 12 of the two crossbeams, and a wooden board 30 or other cabinet surface can be connected between the second wall surfaces 14, so that two different materials of cabinet surface can be connected between the two crossbeam bodies 1 to meet the needs of different customer groups.

[0035] Usage 4: For example Figure 5 , 7 A notch 22 is cut into the upper or lower surface of the main body of the crossbeam. Since the middle of the profile is generally hollow, the notch 22 leads into the interior of the main body of the crossbeam. The notch 22 is used to install a vertical cabinet surface 32. The notch 22 can replace the purpose of the receiving groove for installing the vertical cabinet surface 32, so that the receiving groove can be used as a light strip groove.

[0036] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
