Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a niche structure, and more particularly to a profile-based weld-free niche structure. Background Technology
[0002] In bathrooms, people often create wall niches to store toiletries. These niches are integrated with the wall, creating an aesthetically pleasing overall look. Some rooms also have niches for convenient storage of other items. Currently, some niches are created by reserving space within the building structure and then tiling it. However, the thinness of the tiles makes them susceptible to damage from the quality of the adhesive, leading to loosening. Furthermore, the thinness of the tiles makes their load-bearing capacity unreliable when used as shelves. To overcome these shortcomings, many aluminum profile niche structures have emerged on the market. For example, application number 202122466303.0 discloses a niche made of aluminum alloy profiles. This niche is composed of various plate-shaped aluminum alloy profiles, inner and outer edge frames, etc., and is then fixed during installation using vertical supports, horizontal connectors, and two wing-shaped profiles to complete the structure. This type of niche structure has many components, requiring multiple adjustments during assembly, making the process cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a profile-based weld-free niche structure that can solve at least one of the above problems.
[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a profile weld-free niche structure is provided, comprising a top plate, a bottom plate, side plates, shelf plates, a mounting plate, and a back plate. The side plates are two pieces and are vertically arranged. The top plate is connected to the top of the two side plates, and the bottom plate is connected to the bottom of the two side plates. The shelf plates are fixed on both sides of the left and right side plates respectively, and the shelf plates are located between the top plate and the bottom plate. The mounting plate is fixed below the top plate and has a mounting groove. The mounting groove of the mounting plate and the top plate form a receiving cavity. The back plate is fixed to the rear side of the top plate, the bottom plate, and the side plates.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the top plate, bottom plate, side plate and back plate can form the outer frame structure of the entire niche. During installation, it can be directly embedded into the building body without the need for fixing with other support structures, which simplifies the installation structure and improves assembly efficiency. Because there is a mounting plate and a receiving cavity is formed between it and the top plate, it is convenient to place and install the controller of external light strips and other structures on the niche in the receiving cavity, realizing hidden installation and making installation convenient.
[0006] In some implementations, the top plate, bottom plate, and side plates have identical structures. This facilitates the versatility of the various panels.
[0007] In some embodiments, the rear end of the top plate is provided with a slot, which is opposite to the slot of the bottom plate, and the slots of the two side plates are opposite to each other. The back plate is inserted into each slot around its perimeter. Thus, the slots facilitate the installation of the back plate.
[0008] In some embodiments, a profile-based weld-free niche structure further includes connecting screws. The bottom of the mounting slot has a strip-shaped groove, with both ends of the groove abutting against the side plates. One end of the connecting screw is located on the outside of the side plate, and the other end passes through the side plate and is locked in place with the strip-shaped groove. This facilitates quick fixing of the mounting plate to the side plates, achieving relative fixation with the top plate, and facilitating the installation and placement of internal and external structures.
[0009] In some embodiments, the outer end face of the top plate is provided with connecting grooves, and there are multiple connecting grooves. Thus, by providing connecting grooves, it is convenient to install adjacent side plates, as well as side plates and bottom plates, through external connecting corner brackets or other structures. It is convenient for external connecting corner brackets to be inserted into the connecting grooves for positioning, which facilitates the rapid alignment and splicing of the entire outer frame of the niche.
[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting plate is provided with a first light groove, the opening direction of which is opposite to the opening direction of the mounting slot. Therefore, by providing the first light groove, the installation of the light strip can be facilitated, meeting the corresponding usage requirements.
[0011] In some embodiments, a second light groove is provided on the rear side of the shelf. This second light groove facilitates the installation of light strips on the shelf. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Reference Figures 1-6 ,in, Figure 1 The longitudinal sectional view in the image is a view along the height of the niche. Figure 2 The transverse sectional view is taken along the horizontal direction of the shelf. A profile-based weld-free niche structure includes a top plate 1, a bottom plate 2, side plates 3, shelf 4, a mounting plate 5, and a back plate 6. Two side plates 3 are vertically arranged. The top plate 1 is connected to the top ends of the two side plates 3, and the bottom plate 2 is connected to the bottom ends of the two side plates 3. The shelf 4 is fixed to the left and right sides of the two side plates 3 respectively, and is located between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The mounting plate 5 is fixed below the top plate 1 and has a mounting groove 51. The mounting groove 51 of the mounting plate 5 and the top plate 1 form a receiving cavity 7. The back plate 6 is fixed to the rear side of the top plate 1, bottom plate 2, and side plates 3. The top plate 1, bottom plate 2, side plates 3, shelf 4, mounting plate 5, and back plate 6 are all made of aluminum profiles, which can meet the strength requirements.
[0020] The top plate 1, bottom plate 2, and side plates 3 have identical structures. During assembly, the top plate 1, bottom plate 2, and two side plates 3 form the perimeter of the niche. The number of shelves 4 can be increased according to actual usage requirements, such as one, two, or three. Shelves 4 have a hollow structure, giving them a certain thickness and strength. Screw grooves are formed within shelves 4. When shelves 4 are placed between the two side plates, external screws are screwed into them from the outside of the side plates 3 at the corresponding height positions. The screws engage with the screw grooves within shelves 4, thus fixing the shelves to the side plates 3 and completing the installation of shelves 4.
[0021] The rear end of the top plate 1 is provided with a slot 11, which is opposite to the slot 11 of the bottom plate 2. The slots 11 of the two side plates 3 are also opposite to each other. The back plate 6 is inserted into each slot 11 around its perimeter. The width of the slot 11 is the same as the thickness of the back plate 6, which facilitates the back plate 6 to be inserted into the corresponding slots 11 around its perimeter, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the back plate 6.
[0022] The profile-based weld-free niche structure of this utility model also includes connecting screws. The bottom of the mounting groove 51 has a strip groove 52, with both ends of the strip groove 52 abutting against the two side plates 3. One end of the connecting screw is located on the outside of the side plate 3, and the other end passes through the side plate 3 and is locked in place with the strip groove 52. Therefore, when the mounting plate 5 needs to be installed, the top of the mounting plate 5 abuts against the top plate 1, so that the mounting groove 51 and the top plate 1 together form a receiving cavity 7. Then, the connecting screw 8 is inserted from one side of the side plate 3, cooperating with the strip groove 52, and the connecting screw is tightened into the strip groove 52 to fix the mounting plate 5.
[0023] During installation, the mounting plate 5 can be pre-placed in the mounting slot 51 to control external light strips or other intelligent connection devices. After the mounting plate 5 is fixed, the mounting plate 5 enables the concealed installation of the various structures in the mounting slot 51.
[0024] The outer end face of the top plate 1 is provided with multiple connecting grooves 12. Specifically, the connecting grooves 12 on the side plates 3 are aligned with the connecting grooves 12 on the top plate 1, and the connecting grooves 12 on the side plates 3 are aligned with the connecting grooves 12 on the bottom plate 2. By providing the connecting grooves 12, connecting brackets can be inserted into the connecting grooves 12, facilitating the connection and fixing of the side plates 3 to the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2, thus simplifying installation.
[0025] The mounting plate 5 has a first light groove 53 formed on it, and the opening direction of the first light groove 53 is opposite to the opening direction of the mounting groove 51. By providing the first light groove 53, an external light strip can be installed in the first light groove 53, which facilitates the installation of the light strip.
[0026] A second light trough 41 is provided on the rear side of each shelf 4. Whether or not a second light trough 41 is provided on each shelf 4 can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements to meet different usage scenarios.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
