Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water technology, and in particular to a tea bar machine. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and consumption upgrades, tea bar machines have grown rapidly in the past two years and have begun to enter thousands of households. With their bottom water bucket and top kettle, they replace traditional water dispensers and are more convenient for consumers. At the same time, the single-door appearance of tea bar machines has become more popular. However, since the outermost part of the cabinet door of tea bar machines is generally covered with glass to improve the overall aesthetics, the cabinet door is generally heavy. Compared with multi-door designs, single-door designs increase the overall weight of the cabinet door, causing one side of the door to sag, resulting in unevenness in the height and gaps.
[0003] To address the issue of sagging and imbalance in glass cabinet doors, existing technology provides an anti-sagging device comprising: a support member installed within the cabinet body, the support member including: a support side opposite to the bottom of the cabinet body and a bottom side opposite to the support side, the support side being spaced apart from the top of the cabinet body, and the bottom side being spaced apart from the bottom of the cabinet body; and a limiting member installed on the cabinet door, used to abut against the support side of the support member when the cabinet door is closed. This prevents the cabinet door from sagging and further ensures a tighter fit between the door and the cabinet body when closed. This solution uses a limiting member at the top of the free end of the cabinet door, working in conjunction with the support member of the cabinet body to achieve a limiting effect and prevent sagging. However, it requires adding limiting structures at common locations on the cabinet door and cabinet body, increasing structural complexity and compromising the overall aesthetics of the cabinet. Furthermore, the exposed limiting member and support member are more prone to aging and damage, resulting in a shorter lifespan. Additionally, the individual limiting structure cannot guarantee the overall reliability of the cabinet door's support.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that has a simpler structure while ensuring aesthetics and overall reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a tea bar machine. By incorporating a door-closing support structure, namely a support beam on the cabinet body and a supporting beam on the inner side of the cabinet door, the support beam and the supporting beam work together to lift and limit the entire cabinet door, preventing it from sagging. Furthermore, the door-closing support action is combined with the door-closing rotation, enhancing the user experience.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

The cabinet door pivot is located on one side of the support beam. During the closing process of the cabinet door, the support beam rotates and slides into the opening from the side near the cabinet door pivot to the side away from the cabinet door pivot, so that the support beam gradually supports and cooperates with the support beam along its length direction.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet door includes a door liner on the inner side, a supporting beam on the upper part of the door liner, the supporting beam being a boss structure protruding toward the opening, and the bottom of the supporting beam having at least one guide structure for guiding the supporting beam.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supporting beam includes an annular segment connected to the door liner and a connecting segment away from the door liner, the guide structure is disposed between the annular segment and the connecting segment, and one side of the annular segment forms surface contact with the supporting beam when the cabinet door is closed.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet door includes a door frame fixedly connected to the door liner, and an auxiliary support structure is provided on the base. One side of the door frame abuts against the auxiliary support structure when the cabinet door is closed. The auxiliary support structure includes at least one guide support member that guides the door frame to be fixed above the base.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base is provided with a mounting groove, the guide support is disposed in the mounting groove, and the guide support includes at least two spaced guide limiting ribs, the height of which gradually increases in the direction toward the receiving cavity.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide limiting rib includes an inclined guide section and a support section parallel to the plane of the base. An arc-shaped connecting section is provided between the guide section and the support section, and the height of the support section is less than or equal to the vertical height of the mounting groove.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there is a cabinet door pivot between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, and the cabinet door is also provided with a door pivot sleeve hole for fixing the cabinet door pivot. The outer side of the door pivot sleeve hole is provided with a first support rib protruding toward the base.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet door pivot includes a door pivot and a pivot component fixedly connected to the door pivot. The door pivot passes through the door pivot sleeve hole into the interior of the cabinet door, so that the pivot component is rotatably connected to the cabinet door.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second support rib protruding toward the pivot member is provided between the first support rib and the door hinge sleeve hole, and the second support rib cooperates with the door hinge to install the pivot member on the bottom of the base.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cabinet door is provided with a magnetic component, and the cabinet body is provided with a mating component that magnetically engages with the magnetic component.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] This embodiment provides a tea bar machine, including a cabinet and a cabinet door rotatably connected to the cabinet. The cabinet includes a side panel and a base that form a receiving cavity. The tea bar machine is provided with a door closing support structure, which includes a support beam disposed on the cabinet and a support beam disposed on the inner side of the cabinet door. The support beam and the support beam extend horizontally. An opening for accommodating the support beam is provided above the support beam. The cabinet door pivot is located on one side of the support beam. During the closing process of the cabinet door, the support beam rotates and slides into the opening from the side near the cabinet door pivot to the side away from the cabinet door pivot, so that the support beam gradually supports and cooperates with the support beam along its length direction. In this embodiment, a door-closing support structure is installed on the cabinet door, and the support beam and the supporting beam in the door-closing support structure are used to achieve the lower limit of the cabinet door, preventing the cabinet door from sagging or tilting due to excessive weight. At the same time, during the closing process, the contact area between the support beam and the supporting beam gradually increases in the length direction. When the user performs a normal door-closing operation, the action time of the two working together will be extended, so that the sliding friction will be smoothly transitioned. The door-closing support action is combined with the door-closing rotation. Without increasing the user's action, the support function is superimposed on the door-closing function, improving the user experience.
[0032] Meanwhile, an auxiliary support structure is set on the base. When the cabinet door is closed, the bottom surface of the cabinet door is supported by the auxiliary support structure. This works in conjunction with the door closing support structure to achieve a double support effect for the cabinet door, further strengthening the limiting support function of the cabinet door and improving the reliability of the support structure. In this embodiment, there is no need to set additional mating parts on the cabinet body and cabinet door to cooperate with the door closing support structure and auxiliary support structure, which simplifies this part of the structure and increases the overall aesthetics of the tea bar machine.
[0033] In detail, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the tea bar machine in this embodiment includes a cabinet 1 and a cabinet door 2 rotatably connected to the cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 includes a side panel 11 and a base 12. The side panel 11 forms a cavity 3 for housing a water storage structure. A door-closing support structure is provided between the cabinet door 2 and the cabinet 1. The door-closing support structure includes a support beam 4 disposed on the cabinet 2 and a supporting beam 5 disposed on the inner side of the cabinet door 2. The supporting beam 5 is disposed on the upper part of the cabinet door 2, and it abuts against the support beam 4 when the cabinet door 2 is closed to the cavity 3 to support the cabinet door 2 and prevent the cabinet door 2 from sagging due to gravity. The support beam 4 and the supporting beam 5 extend horizontally. An opening 6 is provided above beam 4 to accommodate support beam 5. The cabinet door pivot is located on one side of support beam 5. During the closing of cabinet door 2, support beam 5 rotates and slides into opening 6 from the side near cabinet door pivot to the side away from cabinet door pivot, so that support beam 4 gradually supports and cooperates with support beam 5 along its length. During the support cooperation process, the contact area between support beam 4 and support beam 5 in the length direction gradually increases. This embodiment uses the user's closing action to prolong the cooperation action time of the two, making the transition of sliding friction between the two smoother. At the same time, the closing support action is combined with the rotation action when closing the door, so as to achieve the superposition of support function without increasing the user's action.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 1-3 The cabinet door 2 includes a door liner 21 located on the inner side, and a support beam 5 located on the upper part of the door liner 21. When the door liner 21 is completely fitted to the cabinet body 1, the support beam 5 slides into the opening 6 and abuts against the upper part of the support beam 4. The support beam 5 is a boss structure protruding towards the opening 6 to simplify the structural design and installation of the support beam 5. At the same time, the bottom of the support beam 5 is provided with at least one guide structure 51 for guiding the support beam 4. The guide structure 51 is used to guide the support beam 5 to be fixed inside the opening 6 when the cabinet door 2 is closed, so as to facilitate the lifting and limiting of the cabinet door 2. While ensuring the accuracy of the relative position of the support beam 5 and the support beam 4, the feel of opening and closing the cabinet door 2 is improved.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the supporting beam 5 includes an annular segment 52 connected to the door liner 21 and a connecting segment 53 away from the door liner 21. One side of the annular segment 52 forms a surface contact with the supporting beam 4 when the cabinet door 2 is closed, so as to improve the overall reliability of the supporting structure. It should be noted that the supporting beam 5 and the door liner 21 can be an integral structural design, that is, a part of the door liner 21 structure protrudes inward, or a mounting structure can be provided on the door liner 21 for installing and fixing the supporting beam 5. In this embodiment, the structural formation and fixing method of the supporting beam 5 are not specifically limited.
[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the guide structure 51 is located between the annular section 52 and the connecting section 53. Specifically, part of the guide structure 51 is located on the annular section 52, and the other part extends to the connecting section 53 to form an arc-shaped guide surface. The arc-shaped guide surface enhances the guiding effect of the guide structure 51 and reduces the difficulty of opening and closing the cabinet door 2. On the other hand, during use, the arc-shaped guide surface can transform the sharp corner impact between the guide structure 51 and the support beam 4 into a smoother arc-shaped impact, reducing the risk of wear on the guide structure 51 and the support beam 4, which helps the cabinet door 2 to operate smoothly and increases the service life of the cabinet door 2.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 12 is provided with an auxiliary support structure 7, and the cabinet door 2 also includes a door frame 22 fixedly connected to the door liner 21. One side of the door frame 22 is used to abut against the auxiliary support structure 7 when the cabinet door is closed. The auxiliary support structure 7 includes at least one guide support member 71 that guides the door frame 22 to be fixed above the base 12. The guide support member 71 is used to provide upward support force to the door frame 22 and restrict the downward displacement of the door frame 22. At the same time, it can cooperate with the support beam 5 to provide multiple support points at the upper and lower parts of the cabinet door 2 to achieve dual support and limitation of the cabinet door 2. In one specific embodiment of this example, the base 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121, and the guide support 71 is disposed in the mounting groove 121. The guide support 71 specifically includes at least two spaced guide limiting ribs. By providing a guide support 71 composed of multiple guide limiting ribs, the support effect is strengthened while ensuring that the cabinet door 2 is subjected to uniform force, increasing the contact area between the door frame 22 and the guide support 71, reducing pressure and preventing the guide support 71 from damaging the bottom surface of the door frame 22. Furthermore, there are a total of 2 guide limiting ribs, and their setting height gradually increases in the direction towards the receiving cavity to form an inclined guide surface, so as to strengthen the guiding effect of the guide limiting ribs on the door frame 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, the supporting beam 5 contacts the supporting beam 4 first, prior to the auxiliary support structure 7. The sliding cooperation between the supporting beam 5 and the supporting beam 4 achieves guiding and pushing, initially lifting and limiting the cabinet door 2. During the closing process, the cabinet door 2 begins to contact the auxiliary support structure 7 on the base 12. At this time, the supporting beam 5 and the auxiliary support structure 7 simultaneously provide support. That is, by supporting the upper and lower parts of the cabinet door one after the other, a dual support and limiting effect on the cabinet door is achieved, which greatly enhances the reliability of the overall support of the cabinet door. At the same time, the auxiliary support structure can also transfer the force on both the supporting beam and the supporting beam to improve the stability and durability of their cooperation.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide limiting rib specifically includes an inclined guide section 711 and a support section 712 parallel to the plane of the base 12. An arc-shaped connecting section 713 is provided between the guide section 711 and the support section 712. The guide section 711 is inclined upward toward the receiving cavity 3, and is used to initially guide the door frame 22 when the cabinet door 2 is closed, so as to gradually lift the cabinet door 2 as a whole. After the cabinet door 2 is lifted a certain distance by the guide section 711, the door frame 22 slides above the support section 712 through the arc-shaped connecting section 713. The lower limit is achieved by the support force of the support section 712. The support section 712 is parallel to the plane of the base 12 so that the cabinet door 2 is kept parallel to the base 12 when it abuts against the door frame 22. In the specific implementation of this embodiment, the height of the support section 712 is less than or equal to the vertical height of the mounting groove 121, so as to limit the lifting height of the cabinet door 2 when supported, prevent the cabinet door 2 from tilting upward and the bottom door gap from being too large, and ensure the overall appearance of the tea bar cabinet and avoid appearance defects.
[0040] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 There is also a door hinge between the cabinet door 2 and the cabinet body 1. The cabinet door 2 is also provided with a door hinge sleeve hole 23 for fixing the door hinge. The outer side of the door hinge sleeve hole 23 is provided with a first support rib 24 protruding towards the base 12. The first support rib 24 is used to abut against the base 12 when the cabinet door 2 is closed. Specifically, the first support rib 24 is set at the fixed end of the cabinet door 2. Together with the auxiliary support structure 7 set at the free end of the cabinet door 2, it provides double lower support to both sides of the cabinet door 2. While improving the overall support effect of the cabinet door 2, it prevents the cabinet door 2 from tilting to one side and prevents the cabinet door 2 from being uneven when it is closed to the cabinet body 1.
[0041] In detail, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cabinet door hinge includes a door hinge and a pivot component fixedly connected to the door hinge. The door hinge passes through the door hinge sleeve hole 23 into the interior of the cabinet door 2, allowing the pivot component to rotate and connect to the cabinet door 2. A second support rib 25 protruding towards the pivot component is provided between the first support rib 24 and the door hinge sleeve hole 23. The second support rib 25, in conjunction with the door hinge, installs the pivot component at the bottom of the base 12. Simultaneously, the first support rib 24 and the second support rib 25 are also provided with several reinforcing ribs to strengthen the structural strength of this part. In this embodiment, the door door 2 and the cabinet body 1 are rotatably connected through the door hinge and the pivot component. The second support rib 25, provided between the pivot component and the cabinet door 2, increases the force-bearing area at the location of the door hinge, distributes the weight of the cabinet door 2, ensures uniform force distribution on the base 12 at the fixed end of the cabinet door 2, and improves the service life of the base 12 and the cabinet door 2.
[0042] In this embodiment, a magnetic component is provided inside the cabinet door 2, and a mating component is provided in the cabinet body 1 to magnetically engage with the magnetic component. The cabinet door 2 is fixed by magnetic attraction between the magnetic component and the mating component. Specifically, when the user closes the cabinet door 2, the cabinet door 2 moves in the closing direction under the magnetic attraction between the magnetic component and the mating component. That is, the user only needs to apply a small force to close the cabinet door 2. At the same time, the magnetic attraction can also provide an inward suction force to the cabinet door 2, so as to guide and fix the supporting beam 5 and the auxiliary support structure 7, improve the user's experience when closing the cabinet door 2, and avoid the situation of the hand feeling stuck.
[0043] The above does not limit the mating parts. They can be metal structures made of materials that can be attracted by magnetic parts, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and their alloys, or they can be magnetic structures that are magnetic themselves. They are attracted and fixed to the magnetic parts by the principle of opposite poles attracting each other. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cabinet door and cabinet body can also be fixed by other methods, such as snap-fit fixing, spring door structure, etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
[0044] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
