[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 Example 1: A cabinet shelf adjustment structure includes a cabinet body 1. Adjustment components 2 are provided at each of the four internal corners of the cabinet body 1, and shelves 3 are evenly distributed inside the cabinet body 1. A latching assembly 4 is provided between the shelves 3 and the adjustment components 2. The latching assembly 4 includes a flat plate 41 located at each of the four corners of the outer wall of the shelf 3, a rectangular block 42 fixedly connected to one end of the bottom outer wall of the flat plate 41, a latch 43 slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular block 42, a sleeve 44 fixedly connected to the other end of the bottom outer wall of the flat plate 41, a spring 45 fixedly connected between the latch 43 and the sleeve 44, a connecting piece 46 installed on the outer wall of the latch 43, and a toggle block 47 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the connecting piece 46.

[0025] The cabinet 1 has four pre-installed adjustable distance components 2 at its internal corners, and pre-drilled mounting holes at the top and bottom. A flat plate 41 is embedded in the flat groove 8 of the shelf 3, with a rectangular block 42 welded to one bottom end, and a sleeve 44 fixed to the other bottom end of the rectangular block 42. A locking pin 43 is slidably installed inside the rectangular block 42, with one end connected to a spring 45. The other end of the spring 45 is fixed inside the sleeve 44, and the spring force causes the locking pin 43 to automatically engage with the slot 22. A mating piece 46 is welded to the outer wall of the locking pin 43, and an actuating block 47 is fixed to the top of the mating piece 46. The user controls the extension and retraction of the locking pin 43 by actuating the block 47. A guide groove 11 is formed at the top of the flat plate 41, and the mating piece 46 slides along the guide groove 11, limiting the movement trajectory of the locking pin 43 and ensuring a smooth adjustment process.

[0026] In this embodiment, the design of the toggle block 47 and spring 45 in the buckle assembly 4 allows the user to release the latch 43 simply by lightly moving the toggle block 47. After adjusting the height of the shelf 3 and releasing the toggle block 47, the spring 45 can automatically reset and snap into the slot 22, without the need for any tools.

[0027] In embodiment two, the adjustable distance assembly 2 includes a slide rail 21 and a slot 22. The slide rail 21 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the cabinet 1 by screws, and the slot 22 is inserted into the outer wall of one side of the slide rail 21. The locking pin 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 22. The outer wall of one side of the slide rail 21 has equidistantly distributed positioning holes 7, and the slot 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the positioning holes 7.

[0028] The slide rail 21 is fixed to the four corners of the inner wall of the cabinet 1 by screws. Its surface has equidistant positioning holes 7 for positioning the slot 22. The slot 22 is embedded in the side wall of the slide rail 21 and is slidably connected with the locking pin 43.

[0029] In this embodiment, adjustable spacing components 2 are provided at all four corners of the shelf 3. The overall stability is improved by fixing at multiple points. The adjustable spacing components 2 adopt the design of slide rail 21 and slot 22.

[0030] A cabinet door 5 is hinged to one side of the outer wall of the cabinet body 1, and a handle 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the cabinet door 5.

[0031] The top outer wall of the shelf 3 has a flat groove 8, and the bottom outer wall of the flat groove 8 has a rectangular groove 9. The flat plate 41 and the rectangular block 42 are respectively disposed on the inner walls of the flat groove 8 and the rectangular groove 9. A cylindrical groove 10 is disposed on one inner wall of the rectangular groove 9, and the sleeve 44 is disposed on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 10. The top outer wall of the flat plate 41 has a guide groove 11, and the mating piece 46 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 11.

[0032] A flat groove 8 and a rectangular groove 9 are formed on the surface of the shelf 3. The flat groove 8 is used to accommodate the flat plate 41 of the snap-fit ​​assembly 4, and the rectangular groove 9 is embedded with a rectangular block 42 to prevent the shelf 3 from shifting horizontally.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] Initial state: Shelf 3 is fixed inside cabinet 1 by snap fastener assembly 4, and the snap pin 43 is embedded in the slot 22 of slide rail 21 under the elastic force of spring 45, so as to achieve stable support of shelf 3.

[0035] Height Adjustment: When the user needs to adjust the height of shelf 3, push the toggle block 47 outward, causing the mating piece 46 to slide along the guide groove 11, forcing the locking pin 43 to compress the spring 45 and disengage from the positioning hole 7. At this time, shelf 3 can move freely up and down along the slide rail 21.

[0036] Positioning and locking: Once shelf 3 has moved to the target height, release the actuating block 47. The spring 45 rebounds and pushes the locking pin 43 into the corresponding slot 22, completing the fixing. The tight fit between the slot 22 and the locking pin 43 prevents shelf 3 from shaking.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
