[0002] In contemporary kitchen and dining spaces, sideboards come in various configurations, commonly in linear, L-shaped, or integrated designs with other furniture. They typically combine upper wall cabinets, a central open countertop, and lower base cabinets, providing ample storage space. Wall cabinets can store infrequently used tableware and glassware; base cabinets can hold larger items such as cookware and cutlery sets; and the central open countertop is convenient for frequently used items, making them easily accessible. High-quality wood, such as solid wood or wood veneer, is primarily used, offering high durability and stability, with a smooth and refined surface after careful finishing. Some sideboards also incorporate metal and glass elements, adding a modern and stylish touch, giving them a blend of traditional elegance and contemporary flair.
[0003] However, some sideboards do have issues with their functional design. On one hand, some sideboards are functionally limited, focusing only on simple storage without considering users' needs for appliance placement and suitable wine racks. Furthermore, poorly designed sideboards may have doors that are difficult to open or drawers with insufficient space. On the other hand, some sideboards have poorly divided internal space, leading to underutilization of storage space and wasted space. Additionally, inappropriate cabinet dimensions, such as improper depth or height, can prevent the proper storage of certain items. To address these problems, sideboard design should fully consider users' actual needs, rationally plan the internal space, and design suitable dimensions and functional layouts to improve the practicality and convenience of the sideboard.

When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.
[0031] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0033] Existing sideboards have the following drawbacks:
[0034] (1) Limited color options and lack of innovative designs: In terms of color matching, there are relatively few choices for sideboards, and common colors sometimes don't match the overall home décor style effectively. Consumers who wish to choose unique or personalized colors are limited by market supply. Regarding design, sideboards on the market are quite similar, lacking innovation and personalization. Most sideboards have conventional designs, failing to meet consumers' demands for personalized home decor.
[0035] (2) Insufficient compatibility: Its functional development fails to meet the needs of various fields. Most sideboards on the market are composed of vaguely defined and simple units, making it difficult for users to complete specific operations conveniently. For example, people are keen on having coffee during the day and drinks at night, but they cannot easily complete a complete set of operations in the same space. Only customized sideboards can be targeted, but customization is not a common choice.
[0036] (3) Space Occupancy: For small restaurants, sideboards may take up too much space. The standard depth of a sideboard is usually around 40 to 50 centimeters. After placement, it will reduce the already small activity space in the restaurant, thus affecting the normal passage and dining experience. In addition, a large sideboard will make the restaurant appear more crowded and oppressive, making the space look less open and transparent.
[0037] (4) Functional Design: There are indeed some problems with the functional design of sideboards. On the one hand, some sideboards have limited functionality, focusing only on simple storage without considering users' needs for appliance placement and suitable wine racks. Furthermore, poorly designed sideboards may have doors that are difficult to open or drawers with insufficient space. On the other hand, some sideboards have unreasonable internal space divisions, leading to insufficient utilization of storage space and wasted space. Additionally, inappropriate cabinet dimensions, such as improper depth and height, can prevent the proper storage of certain items. To solve these problems, when designing sideboards, the actual needs of users should be fully considered, the internal space should be rationally planned, and appropriate dimensions and functional layouts should be designed to improve the practicality and convenience of the sideboard.
[0038] Based on this, this application provides a sideboard, which you can refer to as well. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sideboard includes a main cabinet 1, which has a first storage area and a second storage area arranged sequentially along its width. The first storage area includes a work surface 2, a first shelf, and a storage drawer 3. The first shelf is located on the work surface 2, and the storage drawer 3 is located below the work surface 2. The work surface 2 is equipped with a sink 201 and a power socket 202. The second storage area includes a second shelf and a temperature-controlled cabinet 4.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the sideboard provided in this application has a more reasonable and diversified storage space design, which can meet the needs of users to place different items such as electrical appliances and wine glasses. By setting up a work surface 2, shelves, storage drawers 3, and a temperature-controlled cabinet 4, the sideboard not only provides ample storage space, but also takes into account the convenience of users during use. The sink 201 and power socket 202 on the work surface 2 facilitate users' daily cleaning and use of small electrical appliances.
[0040] In this embodiment, a faucet is installed above the sink 201 to facilitate cleaning operations during coffee making and bartending; the power socket 202 can be a linear socket with only a simple 4mm slit in appearance, unlike conventional island sockets, and can be matched with any socket without holes or USB socket.
[0041] In this embodiment, the temperature-controlled cabinet 4 is designed to maintain the optimal temperature for specific items, such as wine or certain foods. The cabinet 4 can be equipped with a temperature regulation device to ensure the items are preserved in their best condition. This design not only enhances the functionality of the sideboard but also increases its practical value in modern homes. The storage drawer 3 can be used to store coffee supplies, coffee tools, and other items.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3The first shelf is provided with multiple first shelf panels 5, which divide the first shelf into multiple first storage areas.
[0043] In this embodiment, each first storage area can hold items of different sizes and shapes as needed, thereby improving space utilization.
[0044] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first storage area is equipped with a bottle rack 6, which is used to place bottle-shaped items. Bottle-shaped items include, for example, wine bottles and beverage bottles.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 7 The first storage area includes a storage panel 7 with multiple placement slots 701 for holding capsule-shaped items. These capsule-shaped items include, but are not limited to, capsule coffee.
[0046] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first storage area has a grid-shaped display shelf 8. The grid-shaped display shelf 8 can be used to place items such as mugs.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The sideboard also includes a first cabinet door 9, which is slidably connected to the main cabinet body 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first cabinet door 9 is slidably connected to the main cabinet body 1, allowing users to more conveniently open and close the cabinet door when using the sideboard. The sliding connection not only saves space but also improves operational flexibility. Furthermore, the first cabinet door 9 can be designed with transparent material, allowing users to quickly view the items inside without fully opening the door. In some embodiments, the first cabinet door 9 can also be decorated with decorative patterns or textures to enhance the sideboard's aesthetics. Through these designs, the sideboard of this application not only improves functionality but also optimizes appearance and user experience.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second shelf is provided with multiple second shelf panels 10, which divide the second shelf into multiple second storage areas.
[0050] In this embodiment, each second storage area can also hold items of different sizes and shapes as needed, thereby further improving space utilization. The design of the second storage shelf aims to provide additional storage space to accommodate a wider variety of items, such as wine glasses, decorative items, or other kitchen utensils. Through this layered design, users can easily classify and store items according to their size and frequency of use, making the sideboard more efficient and organized.
[0051] In this embodiment, the first shelf 5 and the second shelf 10 have the same structure, differing only in size. Please refer to the first shelf 5 as an example. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first shelf 5 includes a substrate 501, a first seal 502, and a second seal 503. The upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 501 can be painted. The substrate 501 has a long groove along its length. The first seal 502 is snapped into the long groove. The second seal 503 is connected to the side of the substrate 501 in the width direction. Both the first seal 502 and the second seal 503 can be made of aluminum to reduce their weight.
[0052] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second storage area is equipped with a wine glass rack 11.
[0053] In this embodiment, the design of the wine glass rack 11 takes into account the shape and size of the wine glasses, ensuring that each wine glass can be placed stably and preventing it from slipping or colliding during use. Specifically, the wine glass rack 11 is located on the lower surface of the second shelf 10. The wine glass rack 11 is used to hold the corners of the wine glasses, allowing the wine glasses to hang upside down on the wine glass rack 11, which facilitates the drying of water from the cleaned wine glasses.
[0054] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 8 The second storage area includes a storage drawer 13. The storage drawer 13 can hold storage compartments 131, which can be used to store bartending tools, including but not limited to bar spoons, shakers, ice picks, and ice strainers.
[0055] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sideboard also includes a second cabinet door 12, which is rotatably connected to the main cabinet body 1.
[0056] In this embodiment, the second cabinet door 12 is rotatably connected to the main cabinet body 1, allowing users to more easily open and close the cabinet door when using the sideboard. The rotatable connection not only provides a larger opening space but also allows users to adjust the opening angle of the cabinet door as needed, thus adapting to the usage requirements of different spaces. Specifically, the second cabinet door 12 can be a double-door design.
[0057] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second cabinet door 12 is equipped with a storage box 121 or a storage bag 122 on the side facing the main cabinet 1.
[0058] In this embodiment, by providing a storage box 121 or a storage bag 122, the flexibility and practicality of the storage space can be further improved. The storage box 121 can be used to store items such as wine glasses, and the storage bag 122 can be used to store items such as coasters.
[0059] This application's embodiments offer solutions to limitations in color matching and a lack of innovative design:
[0060] (1) Incorporate fashionable elements: Pay attention to fashion trends and incorporate popular design elements into the design of the sideboard. You can refer to fashion home magazines, websites, etc. to obtain the latest design inspiration, add bright colors, and make the sideboard the focus of the dining room, making it more fashionable and modern.
[0061] (2) Integration with Art: Incorporate artistic elements into the design of the sideboard, such as painting, carving, or inlaying on the first cabinet door 9 and / or the second cabinet door 12. Such a sideboard not only has practical functions but can also become a work of art, enhancing the taste of the home.
[0062] (3) Install a lighting system: Install lighting, such as LED light strips or spotlights, inside or above the sideboard (specifically, on the first shelf 5 and / or the second shelf 10), to highlight the displayed items and create a warm atmosphere in the dining room. Adjustable brightness and color lighting can be selected to suit different scenarios.
[0063] (4) Create a distinctive display area: Set up a dedicated display area on the sideboard (such as the first storage area using a transparent first cabinet door 9), such as a small wine rack, art frame, or display stand, to highlight special items. It can be personalized according to personal preferences and the style of the restaurant, making the display area the focal point of the restaurant.
[0064] This application's embodiments address the solution to insufficient compatibility with functionalities:
[0065] This application is designed specifically for the function of "daytime coffee and evening drinks," aiming to solve the problem of insufficient compatibility. The first storage area can hold coffee-related items and tools, and the second storage area can hold bartending-related items and tools. By meeting the storage needs of ingredients and equipment for morning coffee and evening drinks, and optimizing the preparation process spatially, the sideboard can better adapt to people's needs at different times. This design not only improves space utilization but also brings users a more convenient and comfortable experience.
[0066] The space-occupancy solution in this application's embodiments is as follows:
[0067] (1) Material: The first cabinet door 9 and / or the second cabinet door 12 can be made of transparent or semi-transparent materials, such as glass doors, acrylic panels, etc., so that people can see the items inside the cabinet and increase the sense of openness of the space.
[0068] (2) Color: The color scheme of the sideboard also affects the visual experience. If the color is not chosen properly and does not match the overall space, it will appear jarring, disrupting visual unity and increasing a sense of oppression. To avoid this, you can choose a light-colored sideboard. Light colors can reflect more light, increasing the brightness of the space and creating a more open and airy feel.
[0069] (3) In terms of form: Floor-standing sideboards not only occupy floor space, but may also make the space appear smaller. Consider leaving blank space around the sideboard (with the first and second storage areas embedded in the main cabinet 1) to make the space appear larger; or consider a wall-mounted design to reduce the amount of floor space occupied. Such design adjustments can better adapt to different spatial needs and enhance the overall visual effect of the space.
[0070] The functional design solution in this application is as follows:
[0071] (1) The first storage area of the sideboard is equipped with a work surface 2 and a power socket 202. The work surface 2 can be used to place small appliances such as coffee machines, grinders, juicers, etc., which makes it convenient to carry out simple coffee making operations in the restaurant.
[0072] (2) Consider multi-functional combinations: combine the sideboard with other furniture functions, such as wine cabinets, bar counters, and storage cabinets, to meet various needs.
[0073] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
