Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Bathroom vanities are installed in bathrooms and generally consist of a basin and a cabinet. During use, water inevitably spills onto the cabinet, especially in small bathrooms or when there is no partition between the shower and sink areas. When water is spilled, it can easily seep into the cabinet through the gaps between the door and the cabinet body. Furthermore, most bathroom vanity basins are made of ceramic, which is prone to shrinkage or deformation during manufacturing. This can create gaps between the bottom of the basin and the top of the cabinet after installation, allowing water to enter the cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a bathroom cabinet structure with good waterproof performance.

[0004] A waterproof bathroom cabinet includes a cabinet body, a basin, and drawers.

[0005] The top and front of the cabinet are respectively provided with a basin mounting opening and a drawer mounting opening that connect to the internal space, and the drawer mounting opening is surrounded by magnetic metal parts.

[0006] The washbasin is an enamel basin. The main body of the washbasin is formed by extruding a metal sheet and is covered with a layer of enamel material on the outer periphery, thereby avoiding the problem of easy deformation of ceramic washbasins. During installation, the washbasin is placed and installed in the washbasin mounting port on the top of the cabinet. The bottom surface of the washbasin is in contact with the top surface of the cabinet, which is more in line with the design parameters and sealing conditions.

[0007] The drawer includes a drawer body and a panel. The drawer body is installed in the drawer mounting opening by sliding along a slide rail. The panel is installed on the outward-facing end of the drawer body, and the panel extends beyond the drawer body on all four sides. Magnetic strips are installed on the panel. When the drawer is closed, the magnetic strips are tightly attached to and adsorbed onto the magnetic metal parts, forming a seal around the drawer mounting opening.

[0008] The bathroom cabinet provided by this utility model has two advantages. First, it uses an enamel basin, which, by utilizing the characteristic that enamel basins do not shrink or deform, solves the problem of gaps that easily exist between the cabinet body and the ceramic basin in traditional bathroom cabinets. This prevents water from splashing or flowing in through such gaps, thus improving the waterproof performance of the bathroom cabinet. Second, the drawer provided by this utility model uses a sealing structure consisting of magnetic metal parts and magnetic strips to connect with the bathroom cabinet. When the drawer is closed, the magnetic strips form a firm and tight fit with the magnetic metal parts, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing structure and preventing water from entering when the drawer is not fully closed, further enhancing the waterproof performance of the bathroom cabinet.

[0009] Preferably, to prevent the periphery of the basin from scratching the user, the periphery of the basin is rolled downward to form a thicker periphery, and an annular rubber gasket is provided on the inner side of the rolled periphery. The rubber gasket is clamped between the basin and the cabinet, which can further seal the gap between the basin and the cabinet and form a better sealing effect.

[0010] Preferably, the waterproof bathroom cabinet also includes a baffle, which is located at the top of the basin away from the user, and can form a shield to prevent water from splashing onto the wall and entering the cabinet through the gap between the wall and the cabinet.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle and the basin are integrally formed or welded together and covered with enamel, which can improve the integrity of the baffle and the basin and also improve the ease of cleaning the baffle.

The functional box is elongated and installed on the top of the baffle. It has several storage cavities with flip-tops along its length. A faucet is installed in the storage cavity in the center. The spout of the faucet extends from the bottom opening of the storage cavity and points towards the basin. The faucet's switch handle extends to the outside from the clearance hole on the flip-top.

[0013] Preferably, to improve the installation firmness of the magnetic metal component, the magnetic metal component is an L-shaped metal plate, one of which is fixed to the cabinet to form a fixing plate, and the other forms a freely extending sealing plate, parallel to and opposite to the magnetic strip. The magnetic metal component includes a metal panel and a metal strip. The metal panel has three pieces, which respectively form the outer surfaces of the two sides and the bottom of the cabinet. The metal shell can improve the waterproofness of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet is open, and the metal strip is installed horizontally at the front end of the top of the cabinet, which also improves the stability of the two side walls of the cabinet.

[0014] Preferably, the metal strip is formed by bending a metal strip into a double-layer L-shaped structure or by using a square tube, which has high tensile strength and torsional strength.

[0015] Preferably, the two ends of the metal strip are provided with limiting baffles extending into the inner side of the sealing plate of the metal panel, so that when the drawer is pulled out, the limiting baffles can prevent the metal strip from being pulled out excessively.

[0016] Preferably, the three metal panels are formed by bending the same metal plate and constitute the external frame of the cabinet, which improves the integrity and strength of the external frame of the cabinet.

[0017] Preferably, the drawer has two mounting openings, one above the other, and the two mounting openings are separated by another metal strip. The drawer includes an upper drawer and a lower drawer. The upper drawer is U-shaped and fits around the outer periphery of the sink in the washbasin to avoid wasting the internal space of the cabinet.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The bathroom cabinet provided by this utility model uses an enamel basin. By taking advantage of the fact that the enamel basin will not shrink or deform, it solves the problem of gaps that easily exist between the cabinet body and the ceramic basin in traditional bathroom cabinets, and prevents water from splashing or flowing in through the gaps, thus improving the waterproof performance of the bathroom cabinet.

[0020] The drawer provided by this utility model adopts a sealing structure consisting of magnetic metal parts and magnetic adhesive strips between it and the bathroom cabinet. When the drawer is closed, the magnetic adhesive strips can form a firm and tight fit with the magnetic metal parts, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing structure and preventing water from entering when the drawer is not fully closed, thus further improving the waterproof performance of the bathroom cabinet.

[0021] A rubber gasket is placed between the basin and the cabinet to further seal the gap between them, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0022] The waterproof bathroom cabinet also includes a baffle, which is located at the top of the basin away from the user. This baffle acts as a barrier, preventing water from splashing onto the wall and entering the cabinet through the gap between the wall and the cabinet, thus further improving the waterproofness of the bathroom cabinet.
