Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a cabinet door front stop with a buffer structure. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, a glass cabinet is a cabinet made of glass. Glass cabinets are widely used in shopping malls or exhibition venues to display products. A glass cabinet is mainly used as a counter to store items.

[0003] The front guard prevents the cabinet door from directly contacting the uprights, bottom plate, and top plate of the assembled cabinet, and also helps to reduce the impact force when the cabinet door is closed with a large force.

[0004] Currently, most windshields on the market are made of sponge and fixed to the cabinet with adhesive. This method has drawbacks. First, the performance of the adhesive itself is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity. In high temperature and high humidity environments, the adhesive may soften or dissolve, reducing its stickiness; while in low temperature environments, the adhesive may harden and become brittle, affecting its bonding strength. Second, the sponge material is also easily affected by ambient temperature and humidity, i.e., it hardens. Therefore, the windshield needs to be replaced after a period of use. However, because it is glued, it is not possible to remove the windshield from the cabinet quickly and easily in one go. During the removal process, the windshield may break, and the adhesive is difficult to clean, making the removal process very cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a cabinet door front stop with a buffer structure to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This cabinet door front stop with a buffer structure includes a plate connector and a front stop assembled with the plate connector. The inner end face of the plate connector is provided with a first insertion cavity that allows part of the plate to be inserted when connected with the plate, and the outer end face is provided with a second insertion cavity that allows part of the front stop to be inserted when connected with the front stop. The front stop has a preset shape that can be retracted when squeezed, and allows it to return to its original state on its own after the squeezing force disappears.

[0007] Further improvements include the installation of an anti-detachment plug in the first cavity, which is inserted into the plate at the same time as the plate is inserted into the first cavity, with the anti-detachment plug making a transition fit with the plate body.

[0008] Further improvements include an anti-detachment plug and anti-detachment teeth. The plug is integrally formed on the board connector, and multiple anti-detachment teeth are simultaneously set on the upper and lower ends of the plug so that when the anti-detachment plug enters the board body, it can be used to snap into the board body to achieve a transition fit.

[0009] Further improvements were made, with the tooth surface of the anti-loosening tooth sloping from the upper left to the lower right.

[0010] Further improvements include setting the front baffle as a plate-shaped component, which is bent into three parts: the first part is inserted into the second cavity; the second part is inserted into the second cavity and its inner end face is attached to the outer end face of the plate connector; and the third part serves as a buffer structure and is used in conjunction with the cabinet door.

[0011] Further improvements include a fourth part on the first part obtained by bending the front windshield, which is then bent again. The fourth part enters the second cavity along with the first part and is squeezed after entering to increase the bending angle, thereby creating resistance that prevents the front windshield from separating from the plate connector on its own.

[0012] Further improvements include a sponge protective cover fitted onto the third part of the windshield, which is formed by bending.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model;

[0015] This utility model effectively reduces the impact force caused by the large closing force of the cabinet door through the front guard, thereby protecting the cabinet door (especially the glass cabinet door). The front guard is set on the plate through the plate connector. The plate connector and the plate are detachably connected, and the front guard and the plate connector can ensure stable assembly. Compared with the existing technology that uses adhesive sponge strips for disassembly and assembly, it is more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] Referring to the attached drawings: This cabinet door front stop with a buffer structure includes a panel connector 1 and a front stop 2 assembled with the panel connector 1. The inner end face of the panel connector 1 has a first insertion cavity 11 that allows a portion of the panel to be inserted when connected to the panel, and the outer end face has a second insertion cavity 12 that allows a portion of the front stop 2 to be inserted when connected to the front stop 2. The front stop 2 has a preset shape that can retract under pressure and allows it to automatically return to its original state after the pressure is removed. The principle of this utility model is that the panel is made of wood and serves as the top or bottom panel of the cabinet. The panel connector 1 is made of metal and serves as both a decorative component (similar to an edging structure used to decorate the front and rear ends of the panel) and a connecting component (connecting both the panel and the front stop 2). The first insertion cavity 11 and the second insertion cavity 12 clearly indicate the connection points of the panel connector 1 with the panel and the front stop 2, providing guidance to the user. Furthermore, the insertion method makes assembly and disassembly convenient, especially for the connection of the front stop 2. In existing technologies, the use of adhesive sponge strips makes disassembly and assembly more convenient. The front panel 2 is also made of metal and has the characteristic of being able to retract and deform under pressure. The compression and retraction occur when the cabinet door comes into contact with the front panel 2 during the closing process. That is, the inertial force of the cabinet door closing will be converted into the squeezing force required by the front panel 2. Because the front panel 2 has an elastic force that can return to its original state, the inertial force needs to resist the elastic force to achieve a buffering effect. This effectively reduces the impact force caused by the large closing force of the cabinet door, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the cabinet door (especially glass cabinet doors).

[0021] The first insertion cavity 11 is provided with an anti-detachment plug 3 that is also inserted into the plate when the plate is inserted into the first insertion cavity 11. The anti-detachment plug 3 is in transition fit with the plate body. Considering that the function of the first insertion cavity 11 is only to determine which end of the plate connector 1 is connected to the plate and does not have the effect of preventing separation, the anti-detachment plug 3 is provided in the first insertion cavity 11. The plate is provided with a slot that is adapted to the length of the anti-detachment plug 3. After the anti-detachment plug 3 is inserted, it achieves a transition fit with the slot (the transition fit allows for a slight interference after assembly. This method ensures the relative stability of the fit between the two parts and facilitates disassembly and replacement during later maintenance) so that the plate connector 1 will not separate on its own after the plate body is assembled.

[0022] The anti-detachment insert 3 includes a plug 31 and anti-detachment teeth 32. The plug 31 is integrally formed on the plate connector 1. Multiple anti-detachment teeth 32 are simultaneously disposed on the upper and lower end faces of the plug 31, allowing for a transitional fit when the anti-detachment insert 3 enters the plate body and engages with the plate body. The plug 31 accommodates the length and depth of the slot provided by the plate and also accommodates the anti-detachment teeth 32. The anti-detachment teeth 32 increase the thickness of a portion of the plug 31, ensuring that the overall thickness of the plug 31 is greater than the height of the slot. Furthermore, the plate is made of wood. When the head 31 is inserted, the anti-disengagement teeth 32 will abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the slot. As is well known, wood is generally hard. When it comes into contact with an object harder than itself, its cell walls will be compressed (the height of the slot is about one-seventh of the board thickness, so the compressed slot will not damage the overall board). That is, the height of the slot will change adaptively to forcibly adapt to the total thickness of the plug 31 and the anti-disengagement teeth 32. Through the adaptive change of the slot, a tightness is generated to prevent the plug 31 from coming out, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the anti-disengagement plug 3 and the board connector 1.

[0023] The tooth surface 321 of the anti-detachment tooth 32 is an inclined surface that slopes from the upper left to the lower right. Considering that the anti-detachment tooth 32 needs to appropriately damage the cell walls of the upper and lower surfaces of the slot after entering the slot, there will be obvious resistance when entering, which will affect the assembly efficiency. Therefore, the tooth surface 321 of the anti-detachment tooth 32 is set as an inclined surface. This ensures that the part of the anti-detachment tooth 32 that contacts the upper or lower surface is only the highest part and the part close to the highest part (the part in the upper left). That is, the resistance is reduced by reducing the contact area, but at the same time, the contact state between the anti-detachment tooth 32 and the upper and lower surfaces of the slot is guaranteed, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0024] The front baffle 2 is configured as a plate-shaped component, which is bent into three parts. The first part 21 is inserted into the second cavity 12; the second part 22, with its inner end face attached to the outer end face of the plate connector 1, is inserted into the second cavity 12; and the third part 23 serves as a buffer structure for use with the cabinet door. This configuration not only allows for rapid forming of the front baffle but also provides various functional components. The first part 21 is a connecting part with the same function as the plug 31, enabling assembly and connection with the plate connector 1. The second part 22 is a transition section because the second cavity 12 is located above the plate connector 1. The first part 21 is formed by bending the upper part of the board from top to bottom at a 90° angle. Since the front panel 2 is made from a single board, the upper part of the board cannot be further formed into the third part 23 after the first part 21 is formed. According to the rationality of the process, the third part 23 is formed by bending the lower part of the board from bottom to top (the first part 21 and the third part 23 are set in front and behind each other). As the contact part that contacts the cabinet door, the third part 23 needs to be elastic (to meet the characteristic of being able to retract under pressure). Therefore, its bending is an arc bending, forming an arc after forming.

[0025] The first part 21 of the front windshield 2, obtained by bending, also has a fourth part 24 obtained by bending it again. The fourth part 24 enters the second insertion cavity 12 along with the first part 21. After entering, the fourth part 24 is squeezed to increase the bending angle, and at the same time, it forms resistance to prevent the front windshield 2 from separating from the plate connector 1 on its own. Considering that the first part 21 is a flat plate after forming, it cannot generate resistance to prevent it from detaching when entering the second insertion cavity 12. Therefore, the right end of the first part 21 is bent again to form the fourth part 24. In order to ensure tight assembly, and considering that the plate connector 1 is metal, Because of the material, it is impossible to connect with the second cavity 12 through the structure of the anti-detachment plug 3. Therefore, the fourth part 24 is also curved and bent to form an arc shape after molding. In this way, the fourth part 24 has elasticity (with the characteristic of being able to shrink back when squeezed). After entering, it will be squeezed to adapt to the spatial height of the second cavity 12. After being squeezed, it will generate an elastic force to return to the initial state. This elastic force can ensure the tightness of the assembly. In addition, the upper end of the fourth part 24 that is not connected to the first part 21 will fit with the lower end of the first part 21 after being squeezed, making the whole compact. The front block 2 will not shake when assembled on the plate connector 1.

[0026] The third part, obtained by bending the front windshield 2, is fitted with a sponge protective sleeve 4. This design takes into account that the front windshield 2 is made of metal material, while the sponge protective sleeve 4 is flexible. This way, there will be no contact marks when it comes into contact with the cabinet door, achieving soft contact and better offsetting the impact force.

[0027] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
