Detailed Implementation
[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0031] This utility model relates to a mirror door, including a mirror body 100, a connector 200, and a door assembly 300. The mirror door is mainly used in mirror cabinets.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the mirror body 100 can be a conventional mirror or a mirror with an integrated electronic control module. In the illustrated direction, the front side of the mirror body 100 is the imaging side, and the rear side (back side) is the non-imaging side. The front side of the connector 200 is connected to the back side of the mirror body 100, and the connector 200 can be fixed to the back side of the mirror body 100 by applying glue or other fasteners. The side of the connector 200 away from the mirror body 100 is the rear side of the connector 200 shown in the figure, and the rear side of the connector 200 is provided with an elastic part 210. When the elastic part 210 is subjected to an external force, the elastic part 210 can elastically deform on the connector 200. The door assembly 300 includes components such as a door panel and a door frame. The door assembly 300 is provided with a first support wall 310 and a second support wall 320. The first support wall 310 and the second support wall 320 are positioned opposite each other. In this embodiment, the first support wall 310 is located on the front side of the door assembly 300. The first support wall 310 can be the front side wall of the door frame of the door assembly 300, and it is arranged circumferentially along the door frame. The second support wall 320 is located on the rear side of the door assembly 300. The second support wall 320 can be the side wall of the rear door panel of the door assembly 300. The interior of the door assembly 300 is hollow, forming an inner cavity. The connector 200 is installed in the inner cavity of the door assembly 300. The elastic part 210 abuts against the front side of the second support wall 320. Then, a screw 400 is inserted forward from the rear side of the second support wall 320, and the screw 400 is threaded forward to connect with the connector 200. The head of screw 400 abuts against the rear side of the second support wall 320. As screw 400 rotates, it penetrates forward into connector 200, thereby applying a pulling force to connector 200 from the first support wall 310 towards the second support wall 320. In other words, the rotation of screw 400 pulls connector 200 backward, causing elastic deformation of elastic part 210. Simultaneously, pulling connector 200 causes mirror 100 to move backward, abutting against the first support wall 310, thus confirming that mirror 100 is properly installed relative to door assembly 300. Under the elastic action of elastic part 210, connector 200 and screw 400 tend to separate, allowing the head of screw 400 to firmly abut against the rear side of the second support wall 320, ensuring that mirror 100 is stably abutted against door assembly 300 without wobbling. Meanwhile, the elastic part 210 provides sufficient buffer space for the installation of the connector 200 and the mirror body 100 relative to the door assembly 300, which can avoid the installation being affected by dimensional errors. When it is necessary to disassemble the mirror body 100, simply unscrew the screw 400 from the connector 200 to remove the mirror body 100 relative to the door assembly 300.
[0033] Door assembly 300 can be made of plastic. During actual installation, connector 200 is first inserted into door assembly 300, then silicone sealant is applied to connector 200, and then mirror body 100 is placed onto door assembly 300. Connector 200 supports mirror body 100, and mirror body 100 is pressed down and embedded into door assembly 300, then masking tape is used to secure it. At this point, the elastic part 210 of mirror body 100 is compressed, and the rebound force of the elastic part 210 presses connector 200 firmly against the back of mirror body 100. After the silicone sealant dries, screws 400 are used to lock connector 200 onto the second support wall 320. The plastic housing of the door assembly 300 is a large injection-molded part, which generally undergoes significant deformation. Previously, the mirror body 100 was directly fixed to the plastic housing. Before the silicone sealant dried, external force was needed to tighten the mirror body 100. Due to the significant deformation force of the housing, masking tape could not hold the mirror body 100 and the housing together, requiring clamps for tightening. These clamps needed to be removed after the silicone sealant dried. However, with the connector 200, the connector 200 is separate from the housing. When using masking tape for tightening, it is not necessary to ensure the mirror body 100 and the housing are fully tightened; the elastic design of the connector 200 will keep it pressed against the glass. After the silicone sealant dries, it is then tightened with a screw 400 with greater locking force, simultaneously tightening the mirror body 100 and the housing. Using the connector 200, the mirror body 100 is detachable. After removing the screw 400, the connector 200 is fixed to the mirror body 100 and can be disassembled together with the mirror body 100 assembly for maintenance of the internal light strip or replacement of a damaged mirror body 100.
[0034] The elastic part 210 can be an external component such as a spring mounted on the connector 200, or it can be a structure such as an elastic block integrally formed on the connector 200. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure... Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the elastic portion 210 is generally hook-shaped. The elastic portion 210 includes a first arm 211, a second arm 212, a third arm 213, and a fourth arm 214. The first arm 211 extends rearward from the side of the connector 200 in a direction away from the mirror body 100. The second arm 212 extends from the first arm 211, forming a first gap 215 between the second arm 212 and the side of the connector 200. The third arm 213 is arc-shaped and connects the second arm 212 and the fourth arm 214, forming a second gap 216 between the second arm 212 and the fourth arm 214. The second gap 216 is further away from the side of the connector 200 than the first gap 215. In this embodiment, the second arm 212 extends upward from the rear end of the first arm 211, the third arm 213 extends rearward from the upper end of the second arm 212, and the middle part of the third arm 213 bulges upward in an arc shape. The fourth arm 214 extends downward from the rear end of the third arm 213. During installation, the fourth arm 214 abuts against the front side of the second support wall 320. After the screw 400 is connected to the connector 200, the elastic part 210 is subjected to force, the upper part of the second arm 212 moves towards the rear side of the connector 200, the first gap 215 decreases, the lower end of the fourth arm 214 moves towards the second arm 212, the second gap 216 decreases, thereby causing the elastic part 210 to be elastically compressed.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connector 200 also includes a connecting portion 220. At least two elastic portions 210 are provided on the side of the connecting portion 220 away from the mirror body 100. Two, three, or more elastic portions 210 may be provided. The connecting portion 220 is provided with screw holes 230, located between two adjacent elastic portions 210. One, two, or more screw holes 230 may be provided on the connecting portion 220. A screw 400 is paired with the screw hole 230 for connection. The second support wall 320 is provided with a mounting groove 330 that matches the shape of the connecting portion 220, and the connecting portion 220 is placed in the mounting groove 330. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 220 is cuboid in shape, and the mounting groove 330 is correspondingly cuboid in shape. The mounting groove 330 positions the connecting portion 220 and prevents the connector 200 from rotating with the screw 400 when the screw 400 is rotated.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connector 200 has several glue-applying grooves 240 on its side away from the elastic part 210. Each glue-applying groove 240 opens forward. The side of the connector 200 with the glue-applying groove 240 abuts against the back of the lens body 100. During installation, glue can be injected into the glue-applying grooves 240, and the front side of the connector 200 abuts against the back of the lens body 100, thus fixing the connector 200 to the back of the lens body 100 by applying glue.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least four connectors 200 are installed on the back side of the mirror body 100. Four, five, or more connectors 200 can be provided. The connectors 200 are arranged in a rectangular pattern. A protective plate 500 is installed in the door assembly 300, and the periphery of the protective plate 500 abuts against the connectors 200. Defogging heating elements or other electronic components can be installed on the back side of the mirror body 100. The protective plate 500 protects the electronic components on the back side of the mirror body 100, preventing them from being scratched by other components inside the door assembly 300 during installation. The connectors 200 are used for quick positioning of the sandblasting plate around its perimeter.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a light strip 510 and a light panel 520 are installed inside the door assembly 300. The frame of the door assembly 300 can be made of a translucent material. The light strip 510 is arranged around the perimeter of the door assembly 300. The light strip 510 illuminates the circumferential sidewalls of the door assembly 300, and the light is projected outward from the periphery of the door assembly 300 to achieve the effect of lighting or creating atmosphere. The light panel 520 illuminates the corners of the outer perimeter of the door assembly 300. The door assembly 300 has a rectangular frame, and the corners of the door assembly 300 are 90° corners. The light strip 510 is arranged in a rectangular pattern, and a light panel 520 is installed at each of the four corners inside the door assembly 300. The light panel 520 can compensate for the lack of illumination blind spots of the light strip 510 at the corners of the door assembly 300, ensuring the brightness at the corners of the door assembly 300.
[0039] Based on the above embodiment, the door assembly 300 has a baffle 340 and a retaining plate 350 inside. The baffle 340 is perpendicular to the second support wall 320 and inclined at 45° to the edge of the door assembly 300. Two retaining plates 350 are arranged perpendicular to the baffle 340. There is a certain gap between the retaining plates 350 and the baffle 340, and a retaining groove 360 is formed at the gap. A third gap 370 is formed between the two retaining plates 350. The third gap 370 extends to the corner of the door assembly 300. The lamp plate 520 is inserted into the retaining groove 360, and the light generated by the lamp plate 520 illuminates along the third gap 370. This fixes the lamp plate 520 and guides the light illumination from the lamp plate 520.
