Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated stove accessories, and in particular to a handleless drawer structure. Background Technology

[0002] The existing integrated stove drawer structure includes a main body and a drawer. The drawer is pull-out and is located on the main body. The drawer has a door at the front. The drawer door includes a sheet metal part and a drawer glass connecting the sheet metal part. The sheet metal part is connected to the drawer. Currently, a handle needs to be designed. One option is to install a U-shaped handle directly on the drawer door. Another option is to process a groove on the top of the drawer door and then install the handle in the groove. Both of these methods allow dust to accumulate at the handle position, making it easy to get dirty when pulling out and pulling. They are also inconvenient to clean, have hard corners, and require processing of the drawer door, resulting in a complex external structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a handle-less drawer structure that eliminates the need for handles, is less prone to getting dirty, is easy to clean, and has a simple shape.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a handle-less drawer structure, comprising a main body, a drawer pullable at the front end of the main body, a drawer door at the front of the drawer, a light-transmitting area on the drawer door, a sensor located in the light-transmitting area inside the drawer, the sensor being fixed to the main body, and a pushing mechanism on the main body that can push the drawer out. The sensor is connected to the pushing mechanism. When an external object blocks the light-transmitting area, the sensor detects this and drives the pushing mechanism to push the front end of the drawer out of the main body. In use, simply blocking the light-transmitting area with your hand will trigger the sensor to control the pushing mechanism to push the drawer out of the main body, thus facilitating the pulling out of the drawer. This design eliminates the need for a handle, has a simple shape and structure, and without a handle, dust is less likely to accumulate, making cleaning easier.

[0005] Furthermore, the drawer door includes a sheet metal component and a drawer glass component that connects to the sheet metal component, the sheet metal component being connected to the drawer.

[0006] Furthermore, the actuating mechanism is an electric actuator. This design is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0007] Furthermore, the electric push rod is located inside the main body, directly above the drawer, and the electric push rod is specifically close to the telescopic end of the drawer door.

[0008] Furthermore, the sensor is a photosensitizer. This design is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: this product does not require a handle; when using it, you only need to block the light-blocking area with your hand, and the front of the drawer will extend out of the main body, making it easy to pull out the drawer; the shape and structure are simple, and without a handle, it is not easy for dust to accumulate, making it easy to clean.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the invention and not all structures. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0019] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a handle-less drawer structure includes a main body 1 and a drawer 2. The drawer 2 is pull-out located at the front end of the main body 1. The drawer 2 has a drawer door 21 at the front. The drawer door 21 includes a sheet metal part 21a and a drawer glass 21b. The drawer glass 21b is bonded to the sheet metal part 21a. The sheet metal part 21a is connected to the front side of the drawer 2 by screws. A door seal 21c is provided between the sheet metal part 21a and the drawer 2. This part of the structure is similar to the drawer structure on existing integrated stoves, and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The difference in this product lies in the fact that it does not have a handle. Instead, a light-transmitting area 22 is set on the drawer door 21. This light-transmitting area 22 is transparent, meaning the drawer glass is transparent in this area. The rest of the drawer can be decorated with stickers or paint. A sensor 3, a photosensitizer, is located inside the drawer 2 in the light-transmitting area 22. This sensor 3 can be glued or fixed to the main body 1 by screws. The drawer 2 also has a through-hole in the light-transmitting area 22 to facilitate sensor detection. Ideally, a transparent piece 5, which can be a transparent glass sheet or a transparent plastic sheet, should be added in front of the through-hole for protection. The drawer 2 forms a slot at the front end of the through-hole, into which the transparent piece 5 is inserted. The main body 1 has a pushing mechanism 4 that can push the drawer 2 out of the main body 1. The sensor 3 is connected to the pushing mechanism 4. When a hand or other object blocks the front of the light-transmitting area 22, the sensor 3 detects it and drives the pushing mechanism 4 to push the drawer 2 out of the main body 1. It is only necessary to push the front edge of the drawer 2 out of the main body 1. The drawer 2 can be moved back and forth by pulling the front edge of the drawer 2 by hand, without having to push the entire drawer 2 out of the main body 1.

[0022] The pushing mechanism 4 is preferably an electric push rod. The electric push rod is located inside the main body 1, directly above the drawer 2. The electric push rod has an electric push rod body and a telescopic end 41. The telescopic end 41 is telescopically installed at the front end of the electric push rod body. The front end of the telescopic end 41 is close to the front side of the drawer 2. The electric push rod body can be fixed inside the main body 1, directly above the drawer, by screws.

[0023] Of course, sensor 2 can also be improved as needed, for example, by designing it as an infrared sensor. Furthermore, the electric push rod can have an independent switch, allowing for independent control of its power supply. Alternatively, the electric push rod can be connected to the integrated stove's central control system, allowing the system to control its power supply.

[0024] Drawer 2 can be used to store bowls and chopsticks. When putting away bowls and chopsticks after eating or washing dishes, drawer 2 needs to be opened repeatedly. During these times, the power to the electric push rod should be turned on. When not in use or while cooking, the power to the electric push rod can be turned off to avoid accidental opening and save electricity. Both the electric push rod and the photosensor are existing, common products. Of course, the electric push rod can also be replaced by other existing actuation mechanisms.

[0025] When in use, turn on the switch to power on the electric push rod. Place your hand directly in front of the light-transmitting area 22 to block it. The light sensor will detect that the light-transmitting area 22 is blocked and then control the electric push rod to extend and retract once. The extension end 41 of the electric push rod will push the drawer door 21 and drawer 2 forward out of the main body 1, for example, one-fifth of drawer 2 will be exposed at the front end of the main body 1. Then the electric push rod will retract and return to its original position. At this time, you can manually pull the edge of drawer 2 to adjust the distance the drawer moves out. Then you can take out and put away bowls and chopsticks. Then you can manually push drawer 2 back into the main body 1 to return to its original position.

[0026] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
