Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of furniture installation, and in particular to a drawer panel mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most high-end drawers are modular, primarily made of stainless steel, and the front and side panels are independently detachable, making transportation and assembly convenient. For example, Chinese Patent No. 201210458342.9 describes a drawer panel unlocking device, which includes an adjustment seat located inside the drawer's side panel, with the drawer panel connected to the adjustment seat via a connector. However, existing drawer panel connection devices suffer from drawbacks such as complex structure and high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a simple drawer panel mounting bracket, including a first component and a second component;

[0004] The first component has a constraint arm, and ear-shaped limiting portions are respectively provided on both sides of the free end of the constraint arm;

[0005] The second component is provided with a cavity to accommodate the constraint arm, and limiting protrusions are provided on opposite side walls of the cavity;

[0006] The cavity is provided with a moving channel, which is configured to allow the ear-shaped limiting part to move to the back side of the limiting protrusion and abut against it;

[0007] The first component is provided with a mating part, and the second component is provided with a locking part;

[0008] When the ear-shaped limiting part abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion, the constraint arm abuts between the two limiting protrusions, and the mating part cooperates with the locking part to restrict the displacement of the constraint arm in the vertical direction.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the mating part includes a slot, and the locking part includes a latch;

[0010] When the slot engages with the buckle, it restricts the upward displacement of the ear-shaped limiting part.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the mating part further includes an abutment part, and the locking part further includes a baffle;

[0012] When the abutting part abuts against the baffle, it restricts the downward displacement of the ear-shaped limiting part.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the buckle is provided on the limiting protrusion, and the slot is provided on the constraint arm;

[0014] The baffle is located at the lower end of the cavity.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, at least one of the slots is provided on each side of the constraint arm;

[0016] At least one buckle corresponding to the slot is provided on each side of the cavity.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the end of the limiting protrusion has a guide structure, the guide structure including a rounded corner or a chamfer.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple constraint arms that are spaced vertically apart;

[0019] The cavity is provided with multiple limiting protrusions at the top and bottom, corresponding to the ear-shaped limiting parts of each constraint arm.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the first component further includes a connecting portion for connecting adjacent constraint arms.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the side of the connecting portion and the side of the constraint arm together form a guide surface;

[0022] When the ear-shaped limiting part moves within the moving channel, the guide surface slides in conjunction with the limiting protrusion.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the first component includes a first fixing portion for connecting the drawer panel;

[0024] The second component includes a second fixing part for connecting the drawer side panel;

[0025] When the ear-shaped limiting portion abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion, the first component is entirely accommodated into the cavity.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the simplified drawer panel mounting bracket of this utility model achieves one-way push-in installation of the drawer panel through the nested design of the constraint arm and the cavity, combined with the locking mechanism of the ear-shaped limiting part sliding into the back of the limiting protrusion along the moving channel. Compared with the traditional multi-part assembly structure, this bracket only requires two core components, the first component and the second component, significantly reducing the number of parts and assembly steps.

[0027] To better understand and implement this invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application.

[0045] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0046] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0047] The following are several specific embodiments to illustrate the technical solutions of this application in detail. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 11 As shown, the simple drawer-type panel mounting bracket of this utility model includes a first component 10 and a second component 20. The first component 10 is used to install on the inner side of the drawer panel 101, and the second component 20 is used to install on the end of the drawer side panel 103 facing the drawer panel 101. Specifically, the drawer side panel 103 has a mounting groove facing the drawer panel 101, and the second component 20 is installed in the mounting groove. The drawer panel 101 is installed onto the drawer side panel 103 through the cooperation between the first component 10 and the second component 20.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the first component 10 has an extended constraint arm 11, and the free ends of the constraint arm 11 have ear-shaped limiting portions 111 protruding outward on both sides; the second component 20 has a cavity 21 for accommodating the constraint arm 11, and limiting protrusions 211 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the cavity 21. The two ear-shaped limiting portions 111 can be symmetrically arranged or offset in the vertical direction. The limiting protrusions 211 are correspondingly arranged with the ear-shaped limiting portions 111, or they can be symmetrically arranged or offset vertically.

[0050] The cavity 21 has a moving channel for the ear-shaped limiting part 111 to move to the back side of the limiting protrusion 211 and abut against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211. For example, the restraining arm 11 can drive the ear-shaped limiting part 111 to move horizontally to above or below the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, and then move downward or upward to move to the back side of the limiting protrusion 211 and abut against it, so that the drawer panel 101 connected to the first component 10 cannot move in the front-back direction away from the drawer side panel 103. By adjusting the installation position of the second component 20 in the mounting groove of the drawer side panel 103 in the front-back direction, it can be set so that when the ear-shaped limiting part 111 moves to the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the drawer panel 101 abuts against the drawer side panel 103, thereby restricting the drawer panel 101 from moving in the direction closer to the drawer side panel 103.

[0051] When the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the restraining arm 11 abuts between the two limiting protrusions 211, thereby restricting the drawer panel 101 from moving left and right relative to the drawer side panel 103.

[0052] The first component 10 is further provided with a mating part, and the second component 20 is further provided with a locking part. When the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the mating part and the locking part cooperate to restrict the movement of the ear-shaped restraining arm 11 in the vertical direction, so that the drawer panel 101 connected to the first component 10 cannot move vertically relative to the drawer side panel 103. The mating part and the locking part can specifically limit any part of the restraining arm 11, or they can limit the ear-shaped limiting part 111.

[0053] The working process of the simplified drawer-type panel mounting bracket in this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] The first component 10 is installed on the inner side of the drawer panel 101, and the second component 20 is installed in the mounting groove of the drawer side panel 103. By moving the drawer panel 101, the first component 10 is moved into the cavity 21. By moving the drawer panel 101 horizontally, the constraint arm 11 moves the ear-shaped limiting part 111 from the upper or lower side of the limiting protrusion 211 to the upper rear side of the limiting protrusion 211. Then, by moving the drawer panel 101 downward or upward, the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211. At this time, the mating part and the locking part lock, restricting the vertical movement of the constraint arm 11. The constraint arm 11 abuts between the two limiting protrusions 211, thereby restricting the drawer panel 101 from moving left or right relative to the drawer side panel 103, and finally making the drawer panel 101 and the drawer side panel 103 securely installed. In this embodiment, the installation position of the second component 20 in the mounting groove of the drawer side panel 103 is such that the distance between the back side of the limiting protrusion 211 and the opening of the mounting groove of the drawer side panel 103 is equal to the distance between the inner side of the drawer panel 101 and the ear-shaped limiting part 111, so that after assembly, the drawer panel 101 and the drawer side panel 103 are firmly connected and abut against each other, and cannot move up and down, back and forth or left and right.

[0055] In order to fix the first component 10 to the drawer panel 101, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first component 10 also includes a first fixing part 14, which is disposed at one end of the constraint arm 11 away from the ear-shaped limiting part 111. To fix the second component 20 to the drawer side panel 103, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the second component 20 also includes a second fixing part 24. In this embodiment, both the first fixing part 14 and the second fixing part 24 include screw holes, thereby fixing the first fixing part 14 to the drawer panel 101 and the second fixing part 24 to the drawer side panel 103 with screws. In other embodiments, the first fixing part 14 to the drawer panel 101 and the second fixing part 24 to the drawer side panel 103 can also be fixed by other means such as adhesive or interference fit.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the first component 10 is fully accommodated in the cavity 21, so that there is no installation gap between the drawer panel 101 and the drawer side panel 103.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the mating part includes a slot 121, and the locking part includes a latch 221. When the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the slot 121 and the latch 221 engage to restrict the upward movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111. The slot 121 and the latch 221 are unidirectional limiting structures. During the movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111 before the slot 121 and the latch 221 engage, the slot 121 and the latch 221 do not restrict the movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the mating part also includes an abutting part 122, and the locking part also includes a baffle 222. When the ear-shaped limiting part 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the abutting part 122 and the baffle 222 cooperate to restrict the ear-shaped limiting part 111 from moving downward.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the latch 221 is disposed on the limiting protrusion 211, and the slot 121 is disposed on the restraining arm 11; more specifically, the latch 221 is disposed on one side of the limiting protrusion 211 facing the opposite side. In other embodiments, the slot 121 may also be disposed on the ear-shaped limiting portion 111, and the latch 221 may also be disposed at a corresponding position on the inner wall of the cavity 21, as long as the latch 221 and the slot 121 can engage to restrict the upward movement of the restraining arm 11 when the ear-shaped limiting portion 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211.

[0060] In order to make the slot 121 and the buckle 221 more secure, and thus make the connection between the first component 10 and the second component 20 more secure, in a preferred embodiment, the slot 121 includes at least two slots, each slot 121 being disposed on both sides of the constraint arm 11; the buckle 221 includes at least two buckles, each buckle 221 being disposed on both sides of the cavity 21, for example, disposed on two opposite limiting protrusions 211.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle 222 is disposed at the lower end of the cavity 21. The abutment portion 122 is disposed on the first member 10 at a position corresponding to the baffle 222. When the ear-shaped limiting portion 111 abuts against the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, the abutment portion 122 can abut against the baffle 222 to restrict the downward movement of the first member 10.

[0062] In other embodiments, the latch 221 and the slot 121 may also engage to restrict the downward movement of the restraining arm 11. The engagement of the abutment portion 122 and the baffle 222 may also restrict the upward movement of the restraining arm 11, in which case the abutment portion 122 is disposed at the upper end of the cavity 21.

[0063] like Figures 1-6 and Figure 11As shown, each of the two drawer side panels 103 has a mounting groove for installing the second component 20 at one end facing the panel 101. The second component 20 is vertically installed in the mounting groove. Thus, the engagement of the slot 121 and the latch 221 restricts the upward movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111, and the baffle 222 restricts the downward movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111. The baffle 222 is located at the lower end of the cavity 21. The drawer panel 101 has a certain weight, and to restrict its downward movement, it needs to support the weight of the drawer panel 101. Compared with the slot 121 and the latch 221, the structure of the abutment part 122 and the baffle 222 is more suitable for load-bearing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the downward movement of the drawer panel 101 is restricted by the engagement of the abutment part 122 and the baffle 222. The engagement between the constraint arm 11 and the limiting protrusion 211 restricts the left and right movement of the constraint arm 11, thereby restricting the left and right movement of the drawer panel 101.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the end of the limiting protrusion 211 has a guide structure, which includes rounded corners or chamfers. Thus, when the ear-shaped limiting part 111 moves up or down, the ear-shaped limiting part 111 can smoothly enter the back side of the limiting protrusion 211, and the restraining arm 11 can smoothly enter between the limiting protrusions 211 on both sides, avoiding the influence of the end of the limiting protrusion 211 on the movement of the ear-shaped limiting part 111 and the restraining arm 11.

[0065] To enhance the strength of the connection between the first component 10 and the second component 20, thereby increasing the stability of the drawer panel 101, in a preferred embodiment, the constraint arms 11 include multiple arms, which are spaced vertically apart; the cavity 21 is provided with multiple sets of limiting protrusions 211 corresponding to the ear-shaped limiting portions 111 on each constraint arm 11. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the constraint arm 11 comprises two arms; as shown Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, there are three constraint arms 11; in other embodiments, the number of constraint arms 11 may also be different. Correspondingly, there may also be multiple first fixing parts 14, with each constraint arm 11 spaced apart from each first fixing part 14.

[0066] To increase the strength of the first component 10, in a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first component 10 also includes at least one connecting part 13, which is disposed between two adjacent constraint arms 11 and connected to the two adjacent constraint arms 11.

[0067] To make movement smoother, in a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 9As shown, the surface of the connecting part 13 is flush with the surfaces of its two adjacent constraint arms 11, and the side of the connecting part 13 and the side of the constraint arm 11 together form a flat guide surface; when the ear-shaped limiting part 111 moves upward or downward in the moving channel, the guide surface slides with the surface of the limiting protrusion 211, which can not only guide the movement of the guide constraint arm 11, but also restrict the left and right movement of the first component 10.

[0068] It should be noted that the terms "front", "back", "left", "right", "up" and "down" mentioned above are all based on the orientation of the user when facing the drawer panel during normal use of the drawer.

[0069] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
