[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the easy-to-assemble storage cabinet includes a top panel 1 and side panels 2. Extension panels 3 are installed on both sides of the top panel 1. The extension panels 3 are fixed to the top panel 1 by welding to ensure a firm connection between the extension panels 3 and the top panel 1.
[0029] The extension plate 3 has a slot 4, and a locking plate 5 is installed in the slot 4. Both ends of the locking plate 5 are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the slot 4, so that the locking plate 5 is stably installed in the slot 4. There is also a first snap-fit gap between the locking plate 5 and the slot 4. The first snap-fit gap provides space for the snap-fit plate 7 of the side plate 2 to be inserted, so as to realize the snap-fit connection and thus complete the first fixation of the top plate 1 and the side plate 2.
[0030] A guide plate 6 and a snap-fit plate 7 are installed on the side plate 2. Both the guide plate 6 and the snap-fit plate 7 are welded and fixed to the side plate 2. There are two guide plates 6, and the snap-fit plate 7 is placed between the two guide plates 6. This structural design makes it easy for the snap-fit plate 7 to pass through the first snap-fit gap and connect with the locking plate 5, thus completing a snap-fit fixation of the top plate 1 and the side plate 2. At this time, the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3 are in a close fit.
[0031] The locking plate 5 includes a connecting plate 501 and a support plate 502. There are two support plates 502, and both support plates 502 are placed on both sides of the connecting plate 501. The two sides of the support plates 502 are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the groove 4 and the connecting plate 501, respectively. This structure allows the locking plate 5 to better cooperate with the groove 4 and the snap-fit plate 7, improving the stability of the connection. When the snap-fit plate 7 passes through the first snap-fit gap and connects with the locking plate 5, the support plate 502 can provide additional support and fixation to prevent the snap-fit plate 7 from shaking in the groove 4.
[0032] A second snap-fit gap exists between the snap-fit plate 7 and the guide plate 6, making the snap-fit between the top plate 1 and the side plate 2 tighter and further enhancing the stability of the connection. When the snap-fit plate 7 is connected to the locking plate 5, the support plate 502 is in the second snap-fit gap, thereby improving the stability of the entire connection structure.
[0033] Fasteners 8 are installed between the two guide plates 6 and the extension plate 3, allowing the top plate 1 and the side plate 2 to be fixed a second and third time via the fasteners 8.
[0034] The fastener 8 includes a nut 9 and a screw 10, which are integrally formed. The screw 10 has an external thread 11 installed on its outer wall. The nut 9 has a groove. By inserting a tool into the groove and rotating the nut 9, the screw 10 is further tightened through the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3, thereby fixing the side plate 2 and the top plate 1.
[0035] The bottom surface of the nut 9 is provided with several positioning rods 12 that surround the outer wall of the screw 10 with the center of the screw 10 as the reference point. The positioning rods 12 are integrally formed with the nut 9. When the screw 10 passes through the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3, the positioning rods 12 are also inserted therein, further ensuring that the fastener 8 is tightly connected with the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3.
[0036] The outer wall of the positioning rod 12 is provided with a first thread 13 and a second thread 14. The pitch height of the first thread 13 is smaller than that of the second thread 14. This thread structure design can improve the connection between the fastener 8 and the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3, and enhance the fastening effect.
[0037] During installation, the first thread 13 can initially engage with the threaded hole on the guide plate 6 or the extension plate 3 to provide positioning and initial fixation. Then, the second thread 14 is tightened further to ensure a tight connection between the fastener 8 and the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3.
[0038] Assembly process: Align the snap-fit plate 7 on the side plate 2 with the slot 4 on the extension plate 3 of the top plate 1, so that the snap-fit plate 7 passes through the first snap-fit gap, and at the same time connects the snap-fit plate 7 with the locking plate 5. At this time, the support plate 502 is placed in the second snap-fit gap between the snap-fit plate 7 and the guide plate 6, completing a snap-fit fixation of the top plate 1 and the side plate 2. Fasteners 8 are installed on the corresponding positions of the two guide plates 6 and the extension plate 3, respectively.
[0039] The screw 10 is passed through the through holes on the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3. Then, by rotating the nut 9, the screw 10 is engaged with the nut 9. At the same time, the first thread 13 and the second thread 14 on the positioning rod 12 are engaged with the threaded holes on the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3, respectively, to fix the fastener 8 to the guide plate 6 and the extension plate 3.
[0040] The connection between the top plate 1 and the side plate 2 is further strengthened by the fixation of the two fasteners 8, which effectively prevents the loosening and shaking between the top plate 1 and the side plate 2, thus making the connection between the top plate 1 and the side plate 2 more stable.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
