Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barn door technology, specifically to a smart barn door for kitchens. Background Technology
[0002] Barn doors are an interior door design originating from farm warehouses abroad, and have gradually been introduced into home decoration. They are a type of sliding door characterized by exposed tracks. Compared to other types of sliding doors, barn doors save more space and solve the problem of not being able to install sliding doors due to small door openings. Barn doors are often associated with an American country style. Modern barn doors, after processing and design, offer a rich variety of colors and shapes, and are highly decorative. Chalkboard paper or cork can be pasted on the door panel; if placed in a child's room, patterns can be drawn on it according to the child's preferences, making the room more lively and vibrant.
[0003] In the existing technology, most barn doors used in kitchens are opened and closed by a manual pull. If the user has both hands to pick up items, it is inconvenient to pull the barn door. The items need to be placed on the ground before pulling the barn door, and then the items need to be picked up to enter the kitchen. This is not very convenient. In addition, barn doors are composed of a frame and glass. If the glass is broken, it is not convenient to replace it.
[0004] Therefore, a smart barn door for kitchens is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart barn door for kitchens in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A smart barn door for kitchens includes a mounting plate and glass. A fixed shell is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and a moving mechanism for lateral movement is provided on the fixed shell. A microwave radar sensor is provided on one side of the fixed shell, and a control box is provided on one side of the mounting plate. A door frame is provided at the bottom of the moving mechanism, and a connecting rod is provided inside the door frame. An installation mechanism for facilitating the installation and fixing of the glass is provided on the door frame and the connecting rod, and the glass is set on the installation mechanism. The number of glass panes is set to four.
[0008] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a lead screw, which is rotatably installed inside the fixed housing. Two sliders are threadedly installed on the outer wall of the lead screw, and the two sliders are slidably installed on the inner wall of the fixed housing. A door frame is installed at the bottom of the two sliders. A motor is installed on the right side of the lead screw, and the motor is installed on the surface of the fixed housing.
[0009] Furthermore, two reinforcing rods are installed at the bottom of the fixed shell, and the door frame is slidably mounted on the two reinforcing rods.
[0010] Furthermore, the installation mechanism includes four insert rods, and four installation slots are provided on the door frame and the connecting rod. The glass is slidably installed on the inner wall of the installation slot, and the insert rods are inserted into the inner wall of the installation slot, with the insert rods in contact with the glass.
[0011] Furthermore, two U-shaped blocks are installed on the surface of each of the four insert rods, and bolts are provided on each of the eight U-shaped blocks, with the eight bolts respectively installed on the four insert rods and the door frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting plate has multiple mounting holes that are evenly distributed.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention, through the arrangement of a lead screw, microwave radar sensor, and insert rod, allows for intuitive control of the kitchen entrance. When a user enters the detection range of the microwave radar sensor, the sensor emits a microwave signal, which is reflected back by the user and transmitted to the control box. The control box then activates a motor, causing the lead screw to rotate and driving two sliders and the door frame to move laterally, thus removing the obstruction from the kitchen entrance. When the user is no longer within range, the microwave radar sensor transmits a signal back to the control box, which then activates a motor to make the door frame block the kitchen entrance again. If the glass is broken, it is removed, and a new glass is placed in the mounting groove. The insert rod then presses against the glass to ensure a tight fit. Finally, bolts are used to fix the insert rod and U-shaped block to the door frame, limiting the glass's position. This achieves sensor-controlled door frame operation, improving convenience and facilitating glass replacement. The operation is simple and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, a smart barn door for kitchens includes a mounting plate 1 and glass 8. A fixed housing 2 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1, and a moving mechanism 3 for lateral movement is provided on the fixed housing 2. A microwave radar sensor 4 is provided on one side of the fixed housing 2. A control box 5 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1. A door frame 6 is provided at the bottom of the moving mechanism 3, and a connecting rod 7 is provided inside the door frame 6. An installation mechanism 9 is provided on the door frame 6 and the connecting rod 7 to facilitate the installation and fixing of the glass 8. The glass 8 is mounted on the installation mechanism 9, and the number of glass 8 is set to four. In this embodiment, when a user enters the area detected by the microwave radar sensor 4... Within the range, microwave radar sensor 4 emits microwave signals, which are reflected back by the human body and transmitted to control box 5. Control box 5 then activates moving mechanism 3, driving door frame 6 to move and remove the obstruction to the kitchen entrance, allowing entry. When the user is out of range, microwave radar sensor 4 transmits signals to control box 5, which in turn activates moving mechanism 3, driving door frame 6 to move and block the kitchen entrance. If glass 8 is damaged, it can be replaced via installation mechanism 9. This system enables sensing and control of door frame 6 and facilitates easy replacement of glass 8. It is simple to operate and highly practical.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the moving mechanism 3 includes a lead screw 301, which is rotatably mounted inside the fixed housing 2. Two sliders 302 are threadedly mounted on the outer wall of the lead screw 301, and the two sliders 302 are slidably mounted on the inner wall of the fixed housing 2. The door frame 6 is mounted at the bottom of the two sliders 302. A motor 303 is mounted on the right side of the lead screw 301, and the motor 303 is mounted on the surface of the fixed housing 2. In this embodiment, by starting the motor 303, the lead screw 301 is driven to rotate, which drives the two sliders 302 and the door frame 6 to move laterally, thereby adjusting the lateral distance of the door frame 6.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, two reinforcing rods 304 are installed at the bottom of the fixed shell 2, and the door frame 6 is slidably installed on the two reinforcing rods 304. In this embodiment, the door frame 6 is reinforced and supported by the two reinforcing rods 304, thereby improving the stability of the door frame 6 movement.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the installation mechanism 9 includes four insert rods 902. The door frame 6 and the connecting rod 7 are provided with four installation slots 901. The glass 8 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the installation slot 901. The insert rods 902 are inserted into the inner wall of the installation slot 901 and are in contact with the glass 8. In this embodiment, when the glass 8 is broken, it is removed and a new glass 8 is placed in the installation slot 901. Then, the insert rods 902 are used to press against it, so that the glass 8 is tightly fitted to the installation slot 901, thereby installing and positioning the glass 8.
[0028] like Figure 2-3 As shown, two U-shaped blocks 903 are installed on the surface of each of the four insert rods 902, and bolts 904 are provided on each of the eight U-shaped blocks 903. The eight bolts 904 are respectively set on the four insert rods 902 and the door frame 6. In this embodiment, when the glass 8 is tightly fitted with the mounting groove 901, the insert rods 902 and U-shaped blocks 903 are fixed to the door frame 6 by the bolts 904 to limit the glass 8, thereby fixing the glass 8 in place.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple mounting holes are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the mounting plate 1. In this embodiment, the stability of the support can be improved by setting multiple mounting holes.
[0030] In summary, during use, when a user enters the detection range of the microwave radar sensor 4, the microwave radar sensor 4 will emit a microwave signal. This signal will be reflected back by the human body and transmitted to the control box 5. The control box 5 will then activate the moving mechanism 3, driving the door frame 6 to move and remove the obstruction to the kitchen entrance, allowing entry. When the user is no longer within range, the microwave radar sensor 4 will transmit a signal to the control box 5, which will then activate the moving mechanism 3, driving the door frame 6 to move and block the kitchen entrance. If the glass 8 is damaged, it can be replaced via the installation mechanism 9. This achieves sensor-controlled driving of the door frame 6 and facilitates easy replacement of the glass 8. The operation is simple and highly practical. The motor 303 is activated. The screw 301 rotates, driving the two sliders 302 and the door frame 6 to move laterally, thereby adjusting the lateral distance of the door frame 6. The two reinforcing rods 304 reinforce and support the door frame 6, improving the stability of its movement. When the glass 8 breaks, it is removed, and a new glass 8 is placed in the mounting groove 901. The insert rod 902 then presses against it, making the glass 8 fit tightly against the mounting groove 901, thus positioning the glass 8. When the glass 8 fits tightly against the mounting groove 901, the insert rod 902 and the U-shaped block 903 are fixed to the door frame 6 with bolts 904 to limit the glass 8, thus fixing the glass 8 in place. The multiple mounting holes improve the stability of the support.
