[0002] Cabinet lighting systems are integrated lighting solutions designed specifically for various cabinets (such as kitchen cabinets, display cabinets, wardrobes, etc.). Through scientific optical design and mechanical connection technology, they achieve a unity of functionality and decoration. Currently, the way to connect the lamp body and lamp trough in cabinet lighting systems is generally by screw fixing. Although the traditional screw fixing method is structurally sturdy, the exposed fasteners affect the aesthetics and are inconvenient to adjust. A new connection system is needed to make the lamp trough connection simple and quick. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cabinet light trough connection system that enables rapid installation, improves aesthetics, and ensures structural stability.

[0004] A cabinet light trough connection system includes a cabinet mechanism, a light trough assembly, and a connecting assembly. The light trough assembly includes a connecting plate and a light trough body. The connecting plate is connected to the end of the light trough body. The connecting assembly includes a connecting base and a rotating connecting block. The connecting base is installed inside the cabinet mechanism. The light trough body has several connecting slots on the side near the inside of the cabinet. The rotating connecting block passes through one of the connecting slots and is movably engaged with the connecting base.

[0005] In the above solution, the connecting plate is used to cover both ends of the light trough body to ensure that the two ends of the light trough body are protected, thereby avoiding light leakage at the ends of the open light trough. By passing the rotating connecting block through the connecting base and through the connecting slot, and rotating the connecting block, the rotating connecting block and the connecting base can be connected, thereby realizing the connection between the light trough assembly and the cabinet mechanism. The connection method is simple, convenient, invisible and beautiful, and has good structural stability. The light trough assembly can be easily disassembled by rotating the connecting block in reverse, which is convenient for later maintenance or structural adjustment.

[0006] Furthermore, the cabinet mechanism includes a first cabinet panel and a second cabinet panel. The first cabinet panel and the second cabinet panel are provided with a stepped structure. The connecting plate is installed on the stepped structure. The connecting plate is provided with a plurality of connecting parts. The connecting parts pass through the connecting slot and are connected to the light trough body through fasteners.

[0007] In the above scheme, the stepped structure can support the connecting plate and the main body of the light trough. The connecting part of the main body of the light trough passes through the connecting slot, making the overall structure aesthetically pleasing. Fasteners are used to connect the connecting part to the main body of the light trough, achieving a stable connection between the connecting plate and the main body of the light trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the cabinet structure includes a first cabinet panel, a middle cabinet panel, and a second cabinet panel. The middle cabinet panel is L-shaped and has an L-shaped stepped structure. A first light trough body is connected between the first cabinet panel and the middle cabinet panel, and a second light trough body is connected between the second cabinet panel and the middle cabinet panel. An L-shaped connecting plate is connected between the first light trough body and the second light trough body.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting bases are installed on both sides of the intermediate cabinet near the stepped structure.

[0010] In the above scheme, the connecting plate of the main body of the light trough is installed on the step structure, and the connecting base is installed in the middle cabinet near the step structure, so that the rotating connecting block can pass through the connecting slot on the light trough assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating connecting block includes an integrally formed plug portion and a knob portion, wherein the plug portion is T-shaped.

[0012] In the above solution, the integral molding of the rotating connecting block results in higher strength and a more stable structure. When connecting the main body of the light trough, hold the knob and insert the T-shaped plug parallel to the connecting slot of the main body of the light trough. Then rotate it 90° to make the plug vertical. Then push the entire rotating connecting block toward the connecting base. When the plug engages with the connecting base, the connection between the main body of the light trough and the connecting base is achieved. The operation is simple and quick, requiring no additional tools, which greatly improves assembly efficiency. The reverse operation allows for easy disassembly, facilitating later maintenance or structural adjustment.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting base includes an integrally formed panel and a U-shaped protrusion, and the connecting groove corresponds to the position of the opening of the protrusion.

[0014] In the above scheme, the panel of the connecting base will distribute the force, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. The connecting slot corresponds to the position of the U-shaped protrusion opening, so that the rotating connecting block can pass through the connecting slot and engage with the protrusion.

[0015] This utility model discloses a cabinet light trough connection system, which offers the advantages of rapid installation, improved aesthetics, and guaranteed structural stability. The connecting plate covers both ends of the light trough body, preventing light leakage from the open ends of the light trough. A rotating connecting block is passed through the connecting base and into the connecting slot; rotating the connecting block connects it to the connecting base, thus connecting the light trough assembly to the cabinet mechanism. The connection method is simple, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing, with good structural stability. The light trough assembly can be easily disassembled by rotating the connecting block in reverse, facilitating future maintenance or structural adjustments. Attached Figure Description
