Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquariums, specifically a cabinet door structure for a cabinet-type aquarium. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, aquariums have become a common element in home decoration. They not only beautify the living environment but also provide a platform for family members to observe and learn about aquatic ecosystems. Cabinet aquariums are a common type of home decoration. They have a cabinet at the bottom of the tank, enclosed by a panel and doors, to effectively hide electrical appliances, filters, nitrification devices, and other water treatment systems, making the entire aquarium look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. However, the cabinet space is relatively enclosed with poor ventilation. Water vapor generated during the use of the water treatment system will remain inside the cabinet, creating a relatively hot and humid environment year-round. This leads to the proliferation of bacteria, affecting not only the hygiene of the home environment and the water quality of the aquarium but also posing certain safety hazards to the electrical equipment inside the cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cabinet door structure for a cabinet aquarium that is aesthetically pleasing and well-ventilated, which can still ensure good ventilation of the cabinet when the door is closed, so as to avoid the large-scale growth of bacteria inside the cabinet.
[0004] The cabinet door structure of the cabinet aquarium described in this utility model includes a door panel, a front top plate extending upwards on the front side of the top of the door panel, the front side of the front top plate being flush with the front side of the door panel, a rear top plate extending upwards on the rear side of the top of the door panel, the top of the front top plate being slightly lower than the top of the rear top plate, a hollow space between the front and rear top plates forming a handle space that allows a person to insert their hand from the front to perform opening and closing operations, and a ventilation channel connected to the handle space is also provided on the part of the rear top plate that is covered by the front top plate.
[0005] The cabinet door structure of the aforementioned cabinet-style aquarium, when used as the cabinet door, ensures good ventilation both inside and outside the cabinet, even when the door is closed, thanks to the ventilation channel connected to the handle space on the rear top panel. This allows moisture inside the cabinet to dissipate quickly, preventing the accumulation of moisture and the resulting stuffy, humid environment. This effectively avoids the proliferation of bacteria that could pollute the home environment and water quality, and also contributes to the safety of the electrical equipment inside the cabinet. Furthermore, the handle space is concealed between the front and rear top panels of the door, and the ventilation channel is also concealed within the handle space between the front and rear top panels. Both the handle space and the ventilation channel are hidden, resulting in a seamless, simple, beautiful, and elegant overall appearance for the cabinet. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0013] It should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, inside, outside, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, counterclockwise, clockwise, circumferential, radial, axial, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0014] If the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical features of each embodiment can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments are described; however, as long as these combinations of technical features do not contradict each other, they should all be considered within the scope of this specification.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the cabinet door structure 10 of the cabinet aquarium provided in this embodiment includes a door panel 1, a front top plate 2 extending upward on the front side of the top of the door panel 1, the front side of the front top plate 2 being flush with the front side of the door panel 1, a rear top plate 3 extending upward on the rear side of the top of the door panel 1, the top of the front top plate 2 being slightly lower than the top of the rear top plate 3, and a handle space 4 formed between the front and rear top plates to facilitate the opening and closing operation by inserting a hand from the front side, and a ventilation channel 5 connected to the handle space 4 is also provided on the rear top plate 3 in the part covered by the front top plate 2.
[0016] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the cabinet door structure 10 is installed on the cabinet body 9 of the cabinet aquarium, serving as the cabinet door of the cabinet body 9. When closed, it creates a relatively enclosed space inside the cabinet body 9, effectively concealing the internal electrical appliances, filters, nitrification devices, and other water treatment systems, making the entire aquarium neater and more aesthetically pleasing. The cabinet door structure 10 can be installed by hinges to the cabinet body 9, or embedded in the cabinet body 9 to form a sliding door, or other common installation methods; no specific limitation is made here.
[0017] In this embodiment, when the cabinet door structure 10 is closed, the ventilation channel 5 on the rear top plate 3, which connects to the handle space 4, can still maintain good ventilation between the inside and outside of the cabinet 9. Moisture inside the cabinet 9 can dissipate quickly, preventing a stuffy and humid environment caused by moisture accumulation. This effectively avoids the large-scale growth of bacteria that could pollute the home environment and water quality, and also helps ensure the safety of electrical equipment inside the cabinet 9. Meanwhile, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the front side of the front top panel 2 is flush with the front side of the door panel 1. Its handle space 4 is concealed between the front and rear top panels of the door panel 1. The top of the front top panel 2 is slightly lower than the top of the rear top panel 3, so that it can be used as a handle for the cabinet door. When the cabinet door needs to be opened, a person can insert their hand from the front to open and close it, which is convenient to use. In addition, the ventilation channel 5 is also concealed in the handle space 4 between the front and rear top panels. Both the handle space 4 and the ventilation channel 5 are concealed and not directly exposed, so that the overall appearance of the cabinet 9 is good, simple, beautiful and generous.
[0018] The ventilation channel 5 can be a series of small holes arranged side by side, or it can be set up as follows: Figure 3 The elongated shape shown in the figure is the optimal preferred solution for the ventilation channel 5. By making the ventilation channel 5 elongated, it is easier for users to clean the inside of the ventilation channel 5. The number of ventilation channels 5 is not limited to the one shown in the figure. Multiple ventilation channels 5 can be set up and arranged side by side on the rear top plate 3 to further improve the ventilation effect and maintain better ventilation inside and outside the cabinet 9.
[0019] The bottom of the rear top plate 3 is smoothly connected to the front top plate 2 via an upward-opening arc surface 6, as shown below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this design makes the hand feel more comfortable when inserting into the handle space 4 to perform opening and closing operations, and the smooth curved surface 6 reduces the formation of hard-to-clean corners in the handle space 4, making it easier to clean.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the ventilation channel 5 is located at the bottom of the rear top panel 3, allowing the front top panel 2 to effectively conceal the ventilation channel 5 from a normal standing, downward viewing angle. This further ensures that the ventilation channel 5 is hidden within the handle space 4 between the front and rear top panels, achieving a good concealment effect and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the cabinet 9. Furthermore, the ventilation channel 5 located at the bottom of the rear top panel 3 can cooperate with the curved surface 6, allowing the bottom plane of the ventilation channel 5 to smoothly connect with the curved surface 6. This further reduces dead corners formed within the handle space 4, and the condensation emitted from the ventilation channel 5 and adhering to the front top panel 2 can smoothly flow back along the curved surface 6 to the bottom of the ventilation channel 5, and then flow down the inside of the door panel 1. During cleaning, only the cabinet door needs to be opened to clean the inside of the door panel 1; the condensation will not accumulate directly in the handle space 4, forming excessive water that would be difficult to handle, making it easier to clean the cabinet door structure 10 and its handle space 4.
[0021] The handle space 4 formed between the door panel 1 and the front and rear top panels can be an integral structure, or it can be like... Figure 5 As shown, the handle space 4 structure formed between the door panel 1 and the front and rear top panels is separable. The handle space 4 structure is detachably mounted on the top of the door panel 1, and can be disassembled individually for handling, cleaning, and other tasks when needed. A insertion slot 7 is provided above the door panel 1, and a insertion part 8 adapted to the insertion slot 7 is provided below the handle space 4 structure. This allows the handle space 4 structure formed between the front and rear top panels to be installed on the door panel 1 via an insertion method. Its structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
