Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to storage cabinets, and in particular to modular storage cabinets used in public places. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, storage cabinets used in public places are usually large, square cabinets (one large cabinet has twenty or thirty storage compartments). Since different areas have different requirements for the number of storage cabinets, the large cabinets that were previously installed either resulted in too many, thus wasting resources, or were limited by the installation space, resulting in a shortage of the number (for example, when the installation space is only 1.5 times the width of a large cabinet, only one large cabinet can be installed, and two large cabinets cannot be installed). Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular storage cabinet. The modular storage cabinet is reasonably designed and can be easily added or removed according to the needs of the number of storage cabinets, which greatly facilitates its use.
[0004] This utility model of a modular storage cabinet is characterized by comprising multiple detachably connectable hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets and several support bases supported on the ground. The support bases are trapezoidal in shape, and a hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet is provided between two adjacent support bases. The hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are arranged in a honeycomb pattern. The trapezoidal base of the support base is supported on the ground, and the two trapezoidal inclined surfaces of the support base are respectively attached to one wall of two hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets. The trapezoidal bases of the two support bases are attached to form a shape equivalent to a hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet.
[0005] Preferably, the aforementioned hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet includes an outer cylinder with a hexagonal cross-section and an openable and closable cover located at the opening of the outer cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, the adjacent hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are detachably connected by magnetic adsorption, and the support base is detachably connected to the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets.
[0007] Preferably, adjacent hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are detachably connected to each other and to the support base and the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets via pins and sockets.
[0008] Preferably, each of the honeycomb-arranged regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets includes a central first regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet and six second regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets evenly distributed around the periphery of the first regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet, wherein the second regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet closest to the ground is replaced by a support base.
[0009] Preferably, one of the regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets has a control panel on its cylinder cover to control the opening of the cylinder cover of each regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet.
[0010] Preferably, an electromagnetic lock is provided between the outer cylinder and the lid of the aforementioned hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet, so that the opening of the lid can be controlled by the control panel.
[0011] The working principle of this modular storage cabinet is as follows: two support bases are placed on the ground at intervals, with the distance between the two support bases just enough to fit a regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet. The two trapezoidal inclined surfaces of the support bases are respectively attached to one wall of the two regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets (the two are of the same size). The regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are arranged in a honeycomb pattern around the storage cabinets. Adjacent regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are installed in a detachable connection manner. A certain number of regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are pre-set in a certain area (each regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet is arranged in the above structure, and the number can be 10, 20 or 30). After a period of use, the number can be increased or decreased according to the usage, so as to meet the usage needs of the area.
[0012] Because the connections between the various hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are detachable, it greatly facilitates the addition or removal of cabinets for use. Attached image description:

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] This utility model modular storage cabinet includes multiple detachably connectable hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets 1 and several support bases 2 supported on the ground. The support base 2 is trapezoidal, and a hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet 1 is provided between two adjacent support bases 2. The hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are arranged in a honeycomb pattern. The trapezoidal base 201 of the support base 2 is supported on the ground. The two trapezoidal inclined surfaces 202 of the support base are respectively attached to one wall of two hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets. The trapezoidal bases of the two support bases are attached to form a shape equivalent to a hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet. That is, after the trapezoidal bases of the two support bases are attached, a component equivalent to a hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet is formed. In other words, the trapezoidal inclined surface 202 of the support base has the same (or equivalent) shape and size as an outer wall of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet, and the trapezoidal base 201 of the support base has the same (or equivalent) shape and size as the symmetrical surface of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet.
[0021] In one embodiment, adjacent hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets and the support base are detachably connected by magnetic adsorption. The magnetic adsorption can be done using magnets, which can be placed on the outer peripheral walls of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets.
[0022] In another embodiment, adjacent hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets and support bases are detachably connected by pins and sockets. Specifically, each outer peripheral wall of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet may be provided with a socket (which may be a countersunk hole), and the pin may be a cylindrical rod. When connecting, the pin is inserted into the socket.
[0023] The honeycomb arrangement is specifically constructed as follows: it includes a central first regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet 11 and six second regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets 12 evenly distributed around the periphery of the first regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet, wherein the second regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet closest to the ground is replaced by a support base.
[0024] The specific structure of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet: The hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet 1 includes an outer cylinder 101 with a cross-section of a regular hexagon and an openable and closable cylinder cover 102 located at the opening of the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder 101 can be made of plastic or metal. The shape of the openable and closable cylinder cover 102 is a regular hexagon corresponding to the opening of the cylinder. One side of the cover is rotatably connected to the opening of the cylinder. An electromagnetic lock (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer cylinder 101 at a position corresponding to the other side. The electromagnetic lock is controlled by a control panel 3. The control panel 3 is located on the cylinder cover of the hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet. The control panel and the electromagnetic lock controlled by the control panel to open the cabinet door (or the openable and closable cylinder cover 102) are existing conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] The working principle of this modular storage cabinet is as follows: two support bases are placed on the ground at intervals, with the distance between the two support bases just enough to fit a regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet. The two trapezoidal inclined surfaces of the support bases are respectively attached to one wall of the two regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets (the two are of the same size). The regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are arranged in a honeycomb pattern around the storage cabinets. Adjacent regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are installed in a detachable connection manner. A certain number of regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are pre-set in a certain area (each regular hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinet is arranged in the above structure, and the number can be 10, 20 or 30). After a period of use, the number can be increased or decreased according to the usage, so as to meet the usage needs of the area.
[0026] Because the connections between the various hexagonal shell-shaped storage cabinets are detachable, it greatly facilitates the addition or removal of cabinets for use.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
