Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet structure technology, and in particular to a modular cabinet and kitchen cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cabinet structures are generally fixed designs, with cabinet units typically assembled using rigid connections such as welding and bolts. This results in poor cabinet layout flexibility and makes modular expansion difficult to adapt to actual needs. Furthermore, traditional connection structures expose numerous fasteners on the exterior of the cabinet, affecting aesthetics and potentially leading to instability due to installation errors. In addition, the complex installation process and reliance on specialized tools also degrade the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing cabinet installation technology, which is complex and lacks flexibility, and to provide a modular cabinet. It achieves rapid assembly by pre-installing connectors on the cabinet modules and then embedding the connectors into the corresponding connection holes on another cabinet module. Finally, the position of the connectors is limited by the limiting component, thereby achieving rapid installation between the two cabinet modules.

[0004] This utility model provides a modular cabinet, including several cabinet modules, connectors and limiting members. The connectors are fixedly connected to the cabinet modules and at least partially protrude outward. The end of the connector is provided with a limiting groove. The cabinet module is provided with a connecting hole adapted to the connector and a limiting hole that guides the connecting hole from the side.

[0005] When the cabinet module is connected to another cabinet module, the end of the connector on the cabinet module is embedded in the connection hole on the other cabinet module, and the end of the limiting member passes through the limiting hole and is embedded in the limiting groove to fix the relative position of the cabinet module and the connector.

[0006] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the cabinet module includes multiple crossbeams and multiple uprights, the multiple uprights are parallel to each other, and the multiple crossbeams are respectively connected between the upper ends of two of the uprights.

[0007] In one of the alternative technical solutions, each of the columns has a fixing hole on its upper end face, and the lower end of the connector is fixedly connected to the fixing hole.

[0008] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the connecting hole is formed on the lower end face of the column, and the limiting hole is formed on the side of the lower end of the column.

[0009] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the connector includes, from top to bottom, a snap-fit ​​connector, a limiting groove, a fixing connection part, and a guide end.

[0010] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the fixed connection portion of the connector is provided with external threads, and the upper end face of the snap-fit ​​connector is provided with a first groove.

[0011] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the lower end diameter of the card connector gradually increases from top to bottom to form an inclined concave surface, thereby forming the limiting groove.

[0012] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the limiting member is generally cylindrical, and the lower end of the limiting member is provided with a conical part.

[0013] In one of the alternative technical solutions, the outer periphery of the limiting member is provided with an external thread, and the upper end face of the limiting member is provided with a second groove.

[0014] This utility model provides a cabinet, including at least one of the aforementioned modular cabinet bodies.

[0015] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The modular cabinets provided by this utility model are connected by connectors and limiting components. The connectors are embedded in the connecting holes of adjacent cabinet modules, and the limiting components are embedded in the limiting grooves on the connectors from the limiting holes on the sides to achieve position locking. This makes the connection structure stable and completely hidden inside the cabinet, keeping the surface flat. It is convenient for independent production, transportation and installation, and the assembly between multiple cabinet modules is more flexible, which can meet the personalized design of users.

For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a modular cabinet, including a plurality of cabinet modules 1, connectors 2 and limiting members 3. The connectors 2 are fixedly connected to the cabinet modules 1 and at least partially protrude outward. The end of the connectors 2 is provided with a limiting groove 22. The cabinet modules 1 are provided with connecting holes 13 adapted to the connectors 2 and limiting holes 14 that guide the connecting holes 13 from the side.

[0031] When cabinet module 1 is connected to another cabinet module 1, the end of connector 2 on cabinet module 1 is embedded in the connection hole 13 on the other cabinet module 1, and the end of limiting member 3 passes through limiting hole 14 and is embedded in limiting groove 22 to fix the relative position of cabinet module 1 and connector 2.

[0032] The modular cabinet is composed of several cabinet modules 1. Each cabinet module 1 includes multiple vertically arranged columns 12 and multiple horizontally connected beams 11. The columns 12 and beams 11 are connected to form a rectangular frame structure. The columns 12 and beams 11 can be fixedly connected by welding or bolts. The columns 12 and beams 11 can be detachable or integrally molded to ensure the stability of the frame structure.

[0033] To secure the connector 2, a fixing hole 15 is also required on the cabinet module 1. One end of the connector 2 can be inserted into the fixing hole 15 via an interference fit, or the connector 2 can be fixedly connected to the fixing hole 15 via a threaded connection or other means. The end diameter of the connector 2 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the connecting hole 13, ensuring that the protruding part of the connector 2 can easily enter the connecting hole 13. Multiple connectors 2 can be provided on one cabinet module 1. As needed, the protruding part of the connector 2 can face the top, bottom, or side of the cabinet module 1, so that the cabinet module 1 can be combined with another cabinet module 1 on each surface, ensuring that the structure of the modular cabinet after installation meets the user's needs.

[0034] In one embodiment, the cabinet module 1 includes multiple crossbeams 11 and multiple columns 12, with the columns 12 parallel to each other and the multiple crossbeams 11 connected between the upper ends of two columns 12 respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, the modular cabinet is composed of several standard cabinet modules 1. Preferably, each cabinet module 1 includes four vertically arranged columns 12 and horizontally connected beams 11, forming a rectangular frame structure. The columns 12 and beams 11 can be made of high-strength wood, plastic, or metal. The surfaces of the columns 12 and beams 11 can also be provided with evenly distributed positioning holes to facilitate the installation of support plates and side panels to form storage space. The two ends of the beams 11 are fixedly connected to the tops of two adjacent columns 12 to ensure the stability of the frame structure.

[0036] In one embodiment, each column 12 has a fixing hole 15 on its upper end face, and the lower end of the connector 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing hole 15. Further, a connecting hole 13 is opened on the lower end face of the column 12, and a limiting hole 14 is opened on the side of the lower end of the column 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cabinet modules 1 are connected in a stacked manner. The fixing holes 15 are respectively set at the upper end of the column 12, so that the connectors 2 protrude upwards. The connecting holes 13 and the limiting holes 14 are respectively set at the lower end of the column 12. The user can select the number of stacked cabinet modules 1 according to the actual required height. During assembly, the connector 2 is pre-installed in the fixing hole 15 at the upper end of the column 12. The cabinet module 1 is raised above another cabinet module 1, so that the upper end of each connector 2 of the lower cabinet module 1 is aligned with and inserted into the connecting hole 13 at the lower end of the upper cabinet module 1, thus achieving a preliminary connection. Then, the limiting member 3 is inserted from the limiting hole 14 on the side of the column 12 into the connecting hole 13, so that the end of the limiting member 3 is inserted into the limiting groove 22 of the connector 2, thus fixing the position between the column 12 and the connector 2. After the limiting member 3 is installed in the limiting hole 14 of all columns 12, a reliable fixed connection is achieved between the cabinet modules 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connector 2 includes a snap-fit ​​connector 21, a limiting groove 22, a fixing connection portion 23, and a guide end 24 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Further, the fixing connection portion 23 of the connector 2 has external threads, and the upper end face of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 has a first groove. The lower end diameter of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 gradually increases from top to bottom to form an inclined concave surface, thereby forming the limiting groove 22.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the limiting member 3 has a cylindrical structure, and a conical part 31 is provided at the lower end of the limiting member 3. The outer periphery of the limiting member 3 is provided with external threads, and the upper end face of the limiting member 3 is provided with a second groove.

[0040] In this embodiment, during assembly, the guide end 24 of the connector 2 is first inserted into the fixing hole 15 to ensure that the connector 2 is vertical. Then, the connector 2 is rotated by inserting an installation tool into the first slot, so that the external thread on the outer periphery of the fixing connection part 23 of the connector 2 engages with the internal thread in the fixing hole 15 at the top of the column 12, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the connector 2 and the fixing hole 15. This causes the snap-fit ​​connector 21 and the limiting groove 22 at the upper end of the connector 2 to protrude upward at the upper end of the column 12. Then, the other cabinet module 1 is lifted, and the connecting hole 13 at the lower end of the column 12 is aligned and fitted onto the connector 2. When the column 12 of the upper cabinet module 1 is completely placed on the upper surface of the lower cabinet module 1, the limiting groove 22 aligns with the limiting hole 14. Then, align the limiting member 3 with the limiting hole 14 and use an installation tool to insert it into the second slot to screw the limiting member 3 into the limiting hole 14. Its conical part 31 is inserted into the limiting groove 22 and abuts against the lower end of the snap connector 21. The inclined limiting groove 22 can allow a certain installation error to ensure reliable limiting effect.

[0041] In summary, the modular cabinets provided in this embodiment are connected by the cooperation of connector 2 and limiting member 3. Pre-installing connector 2 on cabinet module 1 enables flexible and quick assembly and disassembly between cabinet modules 1, significantly improving installation efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, after the cabinet modules 1 are connected, the connector 2 and the limiting member 3 are respectively hidden in the connection hole 13 and the limiting hole 14, keeping the cabinet surface flat and avoiding the exposure of traditional fasteners. The modular structure allows users to flexibly adjust the number and arrangement of cabinets according to actual needs, meeting different spatial layout requirements. After the connector 2 is embedded into the connection hole 13 of another cabinet module 1, the limiting member 3 inserted on the side locks the relative position between the cabinet modules 1, ensuring the connection stability and load-bearing capacity between the connected cabinet modules 1.

[0043] This utility model also provides a cabinet, including at least one modular cabinet body as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0044] As needed, the above technical solutions can be combined to achieve the best technical effect.

[0045] The above are merely the principles and preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several other modifications can be made based on the principles of this utility model, and these modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
