Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a storage cabinet with a rotary switch. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most lockers use pull-out or hinged opening mechanisms to open and close the storage space. Because the locker's size increases during opening and closing, users typically need to reserve sufficient installation space to ensure smooth operation, resulting in the locker occupying a significant amount of space. Therefore, in scenarios with limited installation space, related technologies can only be used with smaller lockers, which reduces the storage space and fails to meet the user's storage needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a locker with a rotary switch, which can reduce the installation space of the locker while ensuring storage space.

[0004] A locker with a rotary switch according to an embodiment of this application includes:

[0005] The cabinet has a mounting cavity and a first opening communicating with the mounting cavity;

[0006] A drawer assembly includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and a first connecting portion is provided between the first end and the second end, wherein the distance from the first connecting portion to the first end is less than the distance from the first connecting portion to the second end;

[0007] A rotating module is connected to the side of the cabinet near the first opening and to the first connecting part. The drawer assembly is rotatably connected to the cabinet via the first connecting part and the rotating module, so that the drawer assembly is received in the mounting cavity and the first opening is sealed by the first end cover, or the drawer assembly extends out of the mounting cavity via the first opening.

[0008] The rotary switch locker according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: by providing a first connecting part between the first end and the second end of the drawer assembly, the distance from the first connecting part to the first end is less than the distance from the first connecting part to the second end, and the drawer assembly is rotatably connected to the side of the cabinet near the first opening through the first connecting part and the rotating module, so that the drawer assembly can rotate relative to the cabinet to be received in the receiving cavity and the first opening is sealed by the first end to close the locker, or the drawer assembly can rotate relative to the cabinet to extend out of the mounting cavity through the first opening to open the locker. That is, the drawer assembly rotates relative to the cabinet through the rotating module to realize the opening and closing of the locker. Since the first connecting part is provided near the first end but not at the first end, the rotation axis center of the drawer assembly relative to the cabinet has a distance from the center and end of the drawer assembly, thereby reducing the size of the drawer assembly extending relative to the cabinet when it is opened while satisfying the rotation opening and closing of the drawer assembly, so as to reduce the volume of the locker when it is opened, and thus reduce the installation space required for the locker. As can be seen, the locker using the rotary switch provided in this application embodiment does not require reducing the storage space of the locker. By controlling the rotation axis of the drawer assembly relative to the cabinet body, the volume of the locker when opened can be reduced. Furthermore, by controlling the rotation angle of the drawer assembly relative to the cabinet body, the position of the drawer assembly extending out of the mounting cavity can be controlled, so that each storage position of the drawer assembly is exposed outside the mounting cavity, which facilitates the retrieval of items from the locker and ensures that items stored in the storage space can be easily retrieved and placed, thereby ensuring the size of the locker's storage space. In turn, while ensuring the storage space, the installation space of the locker is reduced.

[0038] The contents of this application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description is merely illustrative and not a specific limitation of this application.

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a storage cabinet 1 with a rotary switch, including a cabinet body 10, a drawer assembly 20, and a rotating module 30. The cabinet body 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 101 and a first opening 102 communicating with the mounting cavity 101 (see...). Figure 5The drawer assembly 20 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 opposite to each other. A first connecting portion 40 is provided between the first end 21 and the second end 22. The distance from the first connecting portion 40 to the first end 21 is less than the distance from the first connecting portion 40 to the second end 22. A rotating module 30 is connected to the side of the cabinet 10 near the first opening 102 and is connected to the first connecting portion 40. The drawer assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10 through the first connecting portion 40 and the rotating module 30, so that the drawer assembly 20 is received in the mounting cavity 101 and the first opening 102 is sealed by the first end 21. Alternatively, the drawer assembly 20 may extend out of the mounting cavity 101 through the first opening 102.

[0040] The rotary switch storage cabinet 1 provided in this application embodiment has a first connecting portion 40 between the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the drawer assembly 20. The distance from the first connecting portion 40 to the first end 21 is less than the distance from the first connecting portion 40 to the second end 22. This allows the drawer assembly 20 to be rotatably connected to the side of the cabinet body 10 near the first opening 102 via the first connecting portion 40 and the rotary module 30. This enables the drawer assembly 20 to rotate relative to the cabinet body 10 until it is received in the receiving cavity and the first opening 102 is sealed by the first end 21, thereby closing the storage cabinet. Alternatively, the drawer assembly 20 can rotate relative to the cabinet body 10 until... The cabinet is opened by extending the mounting cavity 101 through the first opening 102. That is, the drawer assembly 20 rotates relative to the cabinet body 10 through the rotating module 30 to open and close the cabinet. Since the first connecting part 40 is located near the first end 21 but not at the first end 21, the center of the rotation axis of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet body 10 is spaced from the center and end of the drawer assembly 20. This allows the drawer assembly 20 to rotate and open while reducing the size of the drawer assembly 20 extending relative to the cabinet body 10 when it is open, thereby reducing the volume of the cabinet when it is open and thus reducing the installation space required for the cabinet. As can be seen, the storage cabinet 1 using the rotary switch provided in this application embodiment does not require reducing the storage space of the storage cabinet. By controlling the rotation axis of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet body 10, the volume of the storage cabinet when opened can be reduced. Furthermore, by controlling the rotation angle of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet body 10, the position of the drawer assembly 20 extending out of the mounting cavity 101 can be controlled, so that each storage position of the drawer assembly 20 is exposed outside the mounting cavity 101, which facilitates the retrieval of items from the storage cabinet and ensures that items stored in the storage space can be easily retrieved and placed, thereby ensuring the size of the storage space of the storage cabinet. In turn, while ensuring the storage space, the installation space of the storage cabinet is reduced.

[0041] In some embodiments, a fifth baffle 103 is provided on the top of the cabinet 10 to help to contain items placed on the top of the cabinet 10 and improve the user experience of the storage cabinet.

[0042] Optionally, the cabinet 10 can be made of any of the following materials: wood, metal, or plastic. The specific material can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.

[0043] Please combine Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the drawer assembly 20 includes a first drawer 201, which includes a first base plate 2011 and a first baffle 2012 and a second baffle 2013 connected to the first base plate 2011. The first base plate 2011 is provided with a first connecting portion 40. The first baffle 2012 is disposed at a first end 21, and the second baffle 2013 is disposed at a second end 22 and extends to be connected to the first baffle 2012. The first base plate 2011, the first baffle 2012, and the second baffle 2013 enclose a first storage space 2014 with a second opening 2015. When the first drawer 201 rotates relative to the cabinet 10 to be received in the mounting cavity 101, the first baffle 2012 at least partially covers the first opening 102, and the cabinet 10 covers the second opening 2015 and the first storage space 2014.

[0044] Thus, the first base plate 2011, the first baffle 2012, and the second baffle 2013 enclose a first storage space 2014 with a second opening 2015. When the first baffle 2012 of the first drawer 201 rotates away from the first opening 102, the second baffle 2013 extends partially out of the mounting cavity 101 through the first opening 102 to expose the first storage space 2014. At this time, the user can take or put items into the first storage space 2014 through the second opening 2015. When the first drawer 201 rotates relative to the cabinet 10 until the second baffle 2013 is housed in the mounting cavity 101, the cabinet 10 covers the first storage space 2014 and the second opening 2015 to close the first drawer 201 and realize the storage of items. The first baffle 2012 is located at the first opening 102 to at least cover part of the first opening 102.

[0045] When the first drawer 201 rotates relative to the cabinet 10 and is housed in the mounting cavity 101, the first baffle 2012 at least partially covers the first opening 102. This means that when the storage cabinet only includes the first drawer 201, the first baffle 2012 can cover all or almost all of the first opening 102; when the storage cabinet includes a multi-layer drawer assembly 20, the first baffle 2012 only covers part of the first opening 102, and the first opening 102 is covered by the baffles of the multi-layer drawer assembly 20.

[0046] Optionally, the first baffle 2012 is a rectangular plate, and the second baffle 2013 is an arc-shaped plate. This allows the cross-section of the first drawer 201 along its height direction to be semi-circular or semi-elliptical, ensuring that the first drawer 201 can be rotated open while maintaining sufficient storage space.

[0047] Understandably, in other embodiments, the first baffle 2012 may also be a V-shaped plate so that the cross section of the first drawer 201 along its own height direction is fan-shaped, or the second baffle 2013 may also be formed by multiple plates so that the cross section of the first drawer 201 along its own height direction is polygonal (e.g., it may be triangular, rectangular or trapezoidal).

[0048] In some embodiments, the drawer assembly 20 further includes a second drawer 202, which is provided with a first connecting portion 40. The second drawer 202 and the first drawer 201 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the storage cabinet. The second drawer 202 is provided with a second storage space 2024 and a third opening. The third opening is located at the top of the second storage space 2024. When the second drawer 202 is rotated relative to the cabinet body 10 to be received in the mounting cavity 101, the second drawer 202 partially covers the first opening 102, and the cabinet body 10 covers the third opening and the second storage space 2024.

[0049] In this way, by setting up a second drawer 202, the space of the locker can be made more efficient, thereby increasing the storage space of the locker and facilitating the storage and classification of items.

[0050] Optionally, the second drawer 202 includes a second bottom plate 2021 and a third baffle 2022 and a fourth baffle 2023 connected to the second bottom plate 2021. The second bottom plate 2021 is spaced apart from the first bottom plate 2011 and is located below the first bottom plate 2011. The second bottom plate 2021 is provided with a first connecting part 40. The third baffle 2022 is provided at the first end 21, and the fourth baffle 2023 is provided at the second end 22 and extends to be connected to the third baffle 2022. The second bottom plate 2021, the third baffle 2022 and the fourth baffle 2023 enclose a second storage space 2024. The end of the fourth baffle 2023 away from the second bottom plate 2021 is provided with a notch 20231.

[0051] Thus, when the third baffle 2022 of the second drawer 202 rotates away from the first opening 102, the fourth baffle 2023 extends out of the mounting cavity 101 through the first opening 102 to expose the second storage space 2024. At this time, the user can take or put items into the second storage space 2024 through the third opening or the notch 20231. When the second drawer 202 rotates relative to the cabinet 10 until the fourth baffle 2023 is housed in the mounting cavity 101, the cabinet 10 covers the second storage space 2024, the third opening, and the notch 20231 to close the second drawer 202 and realize the storage of items. The third baffle 2022 is located at the first opening 102 so that the third baffle 2022 and the first baffle 2012 together cover the first opening 102.

[0052] By providing a notch 20231, when the second drawer 202 rotates to the point where the fourth baffle 2023 extends out of the mounting cavity 101, the user can access items through the notch 20231. This facilitates easy access to items in the second drawer 202 while reducing the distance between the fourth baffle 2023 and the first bottom plate 2011. This ensures efficient space utilization of the locker, reduces its size, and also reduces the distance between the third baffle 2022 and the first baffle 2012, increasing the sealing area of ​​the first opening 102 and improving the locker's sealing performance.

[0053] Understandably, in other embodiments, the second drawer 202 may also be configured to increase the distance between itself and the first drawer 201, allowing items to be taken out or put in through a third opening.

[0054] Optionally, the end of the second baffle 2013 away from the first bottom plate 2011 is also provided with a notch 20231, which facilitates the taking out and putting in items from the first drawer 201.

[0055] Optionally, the size of the notch 20231 gradually decreases along the direction from the second end 22 to the first end 21, so that the fourth baffle 2023 forms an arc-shaped transition surface at the end near the third baffle 2022, and the second baffle 2013 forms an arc-shaped transition surface at the end near the first baffle 2012. This is beneficial to improving the appearance of the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202, and increasing the connection area between the fourth baffle 2023 and the third baffle 2022, as well as the connection area between the second baffle 2013 and the first baffle 2012. This improves the structural reliability of the storage cabinet and also helps to protect the privacy of the items stored in the first storage space 2014 and the second storage space 2024, preventing the items stored in the first storage space 2014 and the second storage space 2024 from being exposed due to accidental contact causing the drawer assembly 20 to rotate.

[0056] In some embodiments, the end of the third baffle 2022 away from the second base plate 2021 extends to connect to the first baffle 2012. This allows the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202 to rotate simultaneously relative to the cabinet 10, thereby improving the overall integrity of the drawer assembly 20 and facilitating the opening and closing of the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202.

[0057] Please combine again Figure 3 and Figure 4Optionally, the rotating module 30 includes a first rotating shaft 301 and a rotating bearing 302. The first rotating shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 10, and the rotating bearing 302 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 301. The first connecting part 40 is directly or indirectly connected to the rotating bearing 302. This allows the drawer assembly 20 to rotate relative to the cabinet body 10 while keeping the cabinet body 10 stationary, thereby improving the structural stability and rotational smoothness of the storage cabinet.

[0058] Optionally, the rotating module 30 further includes a second rotating shaft 303. The first rotating shaft 301 passes through the center of the second rotating shaft 303. The second rotating shaft 303 is fixedly connected to the first connecting part 40. The rotating bearing 302 includes an inner bearing ring, an outer bearing ring, and rolling elements. The inner bearing ring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the first rotating shaft 301, the outer bearing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second rotating shaft 303, and the rolling elements are tactilely connected to the inner and outer bearing rings. This improves the smoothness of the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet 10 and enhances the structural stability of the storage cabinet. Furthermore, by fixing the outer bearing ring to the inner wall of the second rotating shaft 303, the structure of the rotating module 30 and the items stored in the storage cabinet are protected, preventing items stored in the first storage space 2014 and the second storage space 2024 from entering the gap between the inner and outer bearing rings, thus improving the structural reliability of the storage cabinet.

[0059] Optionally, there may be multiple rotating bearings 302, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the second rotating shaft 303. For example, there may be three rotating bearings 302, one of which corresponds to the first base plate 2011, another of which corresponds to the second base plate 2021, and a third of which is located at the end of the second rotating shaft 303 away from the drawer assembly 20. This improves the structural stability of the rotating module 30 in the storage cabinet 1 with the rotary switch, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet 10.

[0060] Understandably, in other embodiments, the number of rotating bearings 302 may also be one, two, or several.

[0061] Optionally, there are two first connecting parts 40, which are respectively connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021. The first base plate 2011 is provided with a first movable hole, and the second base plate 2021 is provided with a second movable hole. Each first connecting part 40 is provided with a third movable hole corresponding to the first movable hole and the second movable hole. The second rotating shaft 303 passes through the first movable hole, the second movable hole and the third movable hole, and the second rotating shaft 303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third movable hole.

[0062] In this way, the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202 are connected to the second rotating shaft 303 through the first connecting part 40, which can increase the connection area between the first drawer 201, the second drawer 202 and the rotating module 30. This can improve the connection reliability between the first drawer 201, the second drawer 202 and the rotating module 30, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet body 10. It can also improve the structural stability of the storage cabinet and avoid the situation where the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202 tilt relative to the second rotating shaft 303 due to excessive local load.

[0063] Optionally, the two first connecting parts 40 are detachably connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021, respectively, so that the first drawer 201, the second drawer 202 and the rotating module 30 are detachably connected, which is conducive to the replacement and maintenance of the locker and reduces the repair cost when any of the structures of the first drawer 201, the second drawer 202 and the rotating module 30 is damaged.

[0064] Optionally, the connection method between the first connecting part 40 and the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 can be any one of threaded connection, magnetic connection or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0065] In one example, the first connecting part 40 is connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 by a threaded connection. Specifically, the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 are respectively provided with a first threaded hole, and the first connecting part 40 is provided with a second threaded hole corresponding to the first threaded hole. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are sequentially threaded together by threaded fasteners, so that the first connecting part 40 can be detachably connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021.

[0066] In another example, the first connecting part 40 is connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 by magnetic attraction. Specifically, the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 are respectively provided with a first magnetic element, and the first connecting part 40 is provided with a second magnetic element. The magnetic poles of the second magnetic element are opposite to those of the first magnetic element. The first connecting part 40 can be detachably connected to the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 by magnetic attraction between the second magnetic element and the first magnetic element.

[0067] Understandably, in other embodiments, the connection between the first connecting part 40 and the first base plate 2011 and the second base plate 2021 can also be a non-detachable connection, such as any one of welding, bonding or interference fit connection.

[0068] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the locker also includes a safety lock 50, which is installed on the locker body 10 and is used to restrict the relative rotation of the drawer assembly 20 and the locker body 10. This enables the locker to be locked, improves its security, prevents accidental rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the locker body 10 due to accidental activation, and reduces the risk of thieves stealing items from the locker.

[0069] Optionally, the drawer assembly 20 is provided with a slot 20131 with an opening facing the cabinet body 10, and the cabinet body 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 104, which communicates with the mounting cavity 101. The safety lock 50 includes a housing 501, a rotating bracket 502, and a latching part 503 (see...). Figure 9 The outer casing 501 is installed in the first mounting hole 104, and the buckle part 503 is connected to one end of the rotating frame 502. The rotating frame 502 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 501 so that the buckle part 503 extends into or leaves the slot 20131.

[0070] In this way, the user can lock and unlock the locker by pressing and driving the rotating bracket 502 to rotate relative to the cabinet 10. This simplifies the operation of the safety lock 50. The locking mechanism, with the latch 503 engaging with the slot 20131, makes the structure of the safety lock 50 simpler and easier to implement. When the rotating bracket 502 rotates until the latch 503 extends into the slot 20131, the latch 503 engages with the slot 20131 to restrict the relative rotation of the drawer assembly 20 and the cabinet 10, thus locking the locker. When the rotating bracket 502 rotates until the latch 503 leaves the slot 20131, the locker is unlocked, allowing the drawer assembly 20 to rotate relative to the cabinet 10, thereby opening or closing the drawer assembly 20.

[0071] Optionally, as mentioned above, the first baffle 2012 of the first drawer 201 is connected to the third baffle 2022 of the second drawer 202, and the second rotating shaft 303 is connected to the first bottom plate 2011 and the second bottom plate 2021 respectively through two rotating bearings 302 and the first connecting part 40, so that the first drawer 201 and the second drawer 202 rotate simultaneously. Based on this, the second baffle 2013 is provided with a slot 20131 with an opening facing the cabinet 10.

[0072] In this way, the drawer assembly 20 is locked and unlocked through the movable connection between the safety lock 50 and the second baffle 2013, simplifying the locking and unlocking procedures of the locker. Simultaneously, since the second baffle 2013 is housed within the mounting cavity 101 when the first drawer 201 is closed, the slot 20131 is located on the side of the locker, which helps to conceal the safety lock 50 and improves the locker's aesthetics. Furthermore, since the second drawer 202 is located at the bottom of the first drawer 201, placing the slot 20131 on the second baffle 2013 allows the safety lock 50 to be positioned at the top of the locker, facilitating user operation of the safety lock 50.

[0073] Please combine Figures 9 to 11 Optionally, the outer casing 501 is provided with an active space 5011, a pressing hole 5012, and a connecting hole 5013. The pressing hole 5012 and the connecting hole 5013 are respectively connected to the active space 5011. The pressing hole 5012 is located on the side of the outer casing 501 away from the drawer assembly 20, and the connecting hole 5013 is located on the side of the outer casing 501 close to the drawer assembly 20. The rotating bracket 502 is movably installed in the active space 5011. The pressing hole 5012 is provided corresponding to the rotating bracket 502. The latching part 503 is used to extend or enter the active space 5011 through the connecting hole 5013. The safety lock 50 also includes a return spring 504. The return spring 504 is installed in the active space 5011, and one end of the return spring 504 is connected to the rotating bracket 502, and the other end of the return spring 504 is connected to the outer casing 501.

[0074] Thus, when switching the working state of the safety lock 50, pressing the rotating bracket 502 via the pressing hole 5012 drives the rotating bracket 502 to rotate relative to the outer shell 501, thereby causing the latching part 503 to extend out of the movable space 5011 through the connecting hole 5013 and enter the slot 20131 to lock the drawer assembly 20. Alternatively, the latching part 503 can be driven out of the slot 20131 and enter the movable space 5011 through the connecting hole 5013 to unlock the drawer assembly 20. At this time, since the latching part 503 is located within the movable space 5011, it can cause structural interference during the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet 10, which helps to make the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet 10 smoother and improves the movement flexibility of the drawer assembly 20. At the same time, by setting a return spring 504, an elastic force can be generated when the rotating bracket 502 rotates relative to the outer shell 501, which helps to drive the rotating bracket 502 to return to its original position and improves the reliability of the safety lock 50.

[0075] In some embodiments, the rotating frame 502 includes a first support portion 5021, a second support portion 5022, and a second connecting portion 5023. The second connecting portion 5023 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 501 and extends along the opening direction of the slot 20131. The first support portion 5021 and the second support portion 5022 are respectively connected to the two sides of the second connecting portion 5023. The first support portion 5021 and the second support portion 5022 extend in opposite directions along the height direction of the storage cabinet. The pressing hole 5012 is provided corresponding to the first support portion 5021. The end of the return spring 504 away from the outer casing 501 is connected to the first support portion 5021. The connecting hole 5013 is provided corresponding to the second support portion 5022. The latch portion 503 is provided at the end of the second support portion 5022 away from the second connecting portion 5023 and extends towards the drawer assembly 20.

[0076] In this way, by setting the second connecting part 5023 to extend along the opening direction of the slot 20131, the first support part 5021 and the second support part 5022 are respectively connected to both sides of the second connecting part 5023, which can reserve sufficient movement space 5011 for the rotation of the first support part 5021 and the second support part 5022. At the same time, by setting the pressing hole 5012 corresponding to the first support part 5021 and the connecting hole 5013 corresponding to the second support part 5022, it is beneficial to restrict the first support part The range of motion of the first support 5021 and the second support 5022 is limited to prevent the first support 5021 and the second support 5022 from extending out of the first mounting hole 104 of the cabinet body 10. This helps to improve the structural reliability of the storage cabinet and avoids structural interference caused by the first support 5021 rotating towards the drawer assembly 20 and extending out of the first mounting hole 104. In addition, the first support 5021 can cover the pressing hole 5012 to improve the appearance of the storage cabinet.

[0077] Optionally, when the latching part 503 extends into the slot 20131, the first support part 5021 covers the pressing hole 5012, and the return spring 504 is in a free state free from external force. This ensures that the safety lock 50 is normally closed, meaning that the latching part 503 remains extended into the slot 20131 when the user does not apply external force to the safety lock 50. This helps keep the drawer assembly 20 stationary relative to the cabinet 10, facilitating the retrieval of items from the locker and improving its security.

[0078] Thus, when it is necessary to switch the safety lock 50 from the self-locking state to the unlocking state, the user presses the first support part 5021 through the pressing hole 5012, causing the first support part 5021 to drive the second connecting part 5023 to rotate relative to the outer shell 501, thereby driving the second support part 5022 to move away from the slot 20131 until the latching part 503 leaves the slot 20131, thereby unlocking the drawer assembly 20. At the same time, the return spring 504 is deformed by external force to generate elastic force. At this time, since the latching part 503 leaves the slot 20131, the drawer assembly 20 and the cabinet 10 can rotate relative to each other, so as to open or close the storage cabinet. When it is necessary to lock the drawer assembly 20, the first support part 5021 is released, so that under the elastic force of the return spring 504, the first support part 5021 is driven to move away from the drawer assembly 20, so as to drive the second support part 5022 to move and reset towards the drawer assembly 20, so as to facilitate the latching part 503 to enter the slot 20131. The latching part 503 and the slot 20131 cooperate to restrict the rotation of the drawer assembly 20 relative to the cabinet 10, so as to lock the drawer assembly 20.

[0079] Please refer to it again. Figure 6 and Figure 9 Optionally, the slot 20131 extends along the direction from the second end 22 to the first end 21, and the bottom of the slot 20131 is provided with a first tooth 20132, and the latching part 503 is provided with a second tooth 5031. The first tooth 20132 is used to engage with the second tooth 5031.

[0080] This increases the size of the slot 20131, facilitating the insertion of the latching part 503 into the slot 20131. The latching part 503 extends into the slot 20131, allowing the second latching tooth 5031 to engage with the first latching tooth 20132. This restricts the rotation of the drawer assembly 20, enabling it to be locked in its current position promptly. The drawer assembly 20 does not need to rotate until the latching part 503 abuts against the wall of the slot 20131 to achieve locking, thus improving the flexibility of the storage cabinet. Furthermore, the engagement of the first latching tooth 20132 with the second latching tooth 5031 increases the connection area between the latching part 503 and the drawer assembly 20, improving the connection stability and reliability of the safety lock 50 in locking the drawer assembly 20.

[0081] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the locker also includes a wireless charging module 60 and an ambient light 70. The wireless charging module 60 is disposed on the top of the locker 10 and outside the mounting cavity 101, and the ambient light 70 is disposed between the wireless charging module 60 and the locker 10.

[0082] In this way, the locker can also have wireless charging and lighting functions, enriching its functionality. At the same time, the ambient light 70 is placed between the wireless charging module 60 and the cabinet 10, which helps to hide the ambient light 70 and improve the appearance of the locker. Moreover, the light emitted by the ambient light 70 can be refracted on the surface of the locker and the wireless charging module 60 to achieve diffuse reflection and improve the lighting effect.

[0083] Optionally, the top of the cabinet 10 is provided with a second mounting hole that connects to the mounting cavity 101. The first rotating shaft 301 of the rotating module 30 passes through the second mounting hole and is connected to the wireless charging module 60. The ambient light 70 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 301, which can help to hide the ambient light 70.

[0084] Optionally, the first rotating shaft 301 is a hollow shaft, through which the connection cable of the wireless charging module 60 passes and is connected to the power supply, thereby hiding the connection cable and improving the appearance of the locker.

[0085] Optionally, the ambient light 70 is equipped with a Bluetooth module and has multiple working modes, such as strong light source, medium light source, weak light source and colored light source. The ambient light 70 is connected to the controller via the Bluetooth module, so that the Bluetooth connection of the ambient light 70 can be controlled to control the on / off and working status adjustment of the ambient light 70.

[0086] Optionally, the locker also includes a speaker, which is located between the wireless charging module 60 and the locker body 10. This helps to conceal the speaker and reduce dust accumulation on it, thus ensuring good sound quality. The speaker is connected to the controller via a Bluetooth module, enabling music playback and further enriching the locker's functionality.

[0087] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
