[0002] Expandable modular cabinets are based on conventional cabinets, with the addition of a countertop / storage system that can slide or rotate and unfold horizontally. They can be arbitrarily spliced together using standard units and sealing strips, achieving the goal of "expanding capacity when in use, retracting when not in use, and freely combining layouts".
[0003] Referring to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218682973U, published on March 24, 2023, an expandable modular cabinet is disclosed, including a base plate and a top plate. Two side plates are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a common back plate is fixedly connected to one outer wall of each side plate. Limiting groove plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls of opposite sides of the two side plates, and a common storage cabinet is slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting groove plates. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the storage cabinet, and the two connecting blocks respectively contact the inner walls of the two limiting groove plates. Limiting rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two limiting groove plates. This invention addresses the issue that when retrieving items placed deep within the cabinet, it is difficult to avoid head injuries from collisions. The limiting groove plates allow the storage cabinet to be pulled out, facilitating storage while preventing user injury. Furthermore, a spring-loaded mechanism allows the storage cabinet to automatically retract after use, improving the user experience.
[0004] The main advantages of the existing technologies mentioned above are improving the convenience and safety of retrieving items, as well as the space utilization rate inside the cabinet. However, the utilization rate of the operating platform at the top of the cabinet needs to be improved. Furthermore, when the cabinet is placed in the kitchen, water droplets easily drip from the floor and are absorbed by the cabinet, making the cabinet prone to moisture and affecting its service life.
[0005] The existing technologies have the following technical problems: the utilization rate of the existing expandable modular cabinet operating platform needs to be improved, and the cabinet does not have a moisture-proof structure, making it inconvenient to protect it from moisture; therefore, we propose an expandable modular cabinet to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0032] Example 1: An expandable combination cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a partition 5 and a placement board 6. The partition 5 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet body 1, and the placement board 6 is connected inside the cabinet body 1 through a limiting structure 4. An expansion structure 3 and a dehumidification structure 2 are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the outer side of the cabinet body 1.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the dehumidification structure 2 includes a dehumidification trough 201, a dehumidification plate 202, a magnetic frame 203, and a metal baffle 204. The dehumidification trough 201 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer side of the cabinet 1. The dehumidification trough 201 can hold multiple dehumidification plates 202. The dehumidification plates 202 can absorb the moisture from the air outlet floor, thereby dehumidifying the cabinet 1 and preventing moisture from affecting the service life of the cabinet 1. A magnetic frame 203 is embedded in the front wall of the dehumidification trough 201. The metal baffle 204 is attracted to the front of the dehumidification trough 201 through the magnetic frame 203. The metal baffle 204 blocks the opening at the front of the dehumidification trough 201 to prevent oil stains from entering and reduce cleaning trouble. At the same time, due to the mutual attraction between the magnet and the metal, the metal baffle 204 is positioned on the front of the dehumidification trough 201. Therefore, by holding the handle of the metal baffle 204 and pulling it forward, the metal baffle 204 can be separated from the dehumidification trough 201.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the expansion structure 3 includes an expansion slot 301, a first threaded hole 302, an expansion plate 303, a fixing slot 304, and a fixing screw 305. The expansion slot 301 is fixedly installed on the top outer side of the cabinet 1. The expansion plate 303 is slidably connected inside the expansion slot 301. A handle is fixedly installed on the front side of the expansion plate 303. By holding the handle and pulling it forward, part of the expansion plate 303 is pulled out. The top of the expansion slot 301 is used as an operating platform for the cabinet 1. The part of the expansion plate 303 that is pulled out can be used as an operating platform, thereby increasing the usable area of the operating platform and improving the flexibility and convenience of the expandable combination cabinet.
[0035] The expansion slot 301 has first threaded holes 302 on the side walls at both ends, and the expansion plate 303 has fixing slots 304 on both side walls. The two fixing screws 305 are manually screwed into the first threaded holes 302 at both ends, so that the tail ends of the fixing screws 305 enter the fixing slots 304. When the expansion plate 303 is pulled to the rear, the tail ends of the fixing screws 305 are blocked in the rear side wall of the fixing slot 304, thus preventing the expansion plate 303 from being completely pulled out. When the expansion plate 303 needs to be completely pulled out, the fixing screws 305 at both ends are unscrewed, so that the tail ends of the fixing screws 305 leave the fixing slots 304. At this time, the expansion plate 303 can be pulled forward directly to remove it, which facilitates a thorough cleaning of the expansion slot 301 and the expansion plate 303.
[0036] Example 2: Figure 5 - Figure 7 As shown, the limiting structure 4 includes a slide 401, a second threaded hole 402, a limiting groove 403 and a limiting screw 404. A partition 5 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1, which divides the cabinet 1 into two large parts. Multiple slides 401 are fixedly installed inside the left and right walls of the cabinet 1 and inside the partition 5. A placement plate 6 is slidably connected inside the slide 401. A cabinet door is rotatably connected to the front of the cabinet 1. By opening the cabinet door, grasping the handle on the front of the placement plate 6, and pulling it out, it is convenient to place items on the placement plate 6 or take out items from the placement plate 6.
[0037] The top left and right sides of the slide 401 are provided with second threaded holes 402, and the top left and right sides of the placement plate 6 are provided with limiting grooves 403. The limiting screws 404 are manually screwed into the second threaded holes 402 at both ends, so that the tail end of the limiting screws 404 is located in the limiting grooves 403. When the placement plate 6 is pulled out, the limiting screws 404 will abut against the rear side wall of the limiting grooves 403, which can prevent the placement plate 6 from being pulled out completely. At the same time, the limiting screws 404 at both ends can be removed. Even if the tail end of the limiting screws 404 leaves the limiting grooves 403, the placement plate 6 can be removed when it is pulled. The placement plates 6 at different positions can be removed according to the size of the items, so as to facilitate the placement of items of different sizes and improve the utilization rate of the expandable combination cabinet.
