Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet technology, specifically to a concealed cabinet door assembly and a cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cabinet door designs typically use single or double doors connected by hinges, opening and closing by flipping them outwards. While this structure is simple and reliable, it has significant drawbacks in space-constrained environments:
[0003] When the cabinet doors are opened, they occupy external space, affecting the placement of surrounding items or the movement of people. They are particularly impractical in small apartments, dense storage scenarios, or narrow passageways.
[0004] In addition, outward-opening cabinet doors are easily damaged by collisions and cannot achieve complete concealment, affecting aesthetics and space utilization.
[0005] While there are alternative solutions such as sliding doors or folding doors in the existing technology, sliding doors require additional track space and can only open part of the cabinet.
[0006] While folding doors can reduce space usage, their multi-section structure is complex and prone to deformation or jamming with long-term use.
[0007] In addition, although there are also hidden cabinet door structures in the existing technology, they still need to be flipped outwards to be hidden and stored inside the cabinet when in use, and space still needs to be reserved for flipping.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cabinet door solution that can save space and is easy to operate. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a concealed cabinet door assembly and a cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a concealed cabinet door assembly, including a deformable door body, and a locking structure is provided in conjunction with the deformable door body. The deformable door body includes door strips, and multiple door strips are provided and flexibly connected in sequence. Each door strip has a first connecting strip and a second connecting strip on both sides. The first connecting strip and the second connecting strip are staggered and mutually limit and engage with each other. Sealing gaskets are provided on opposite sides of the first connecting strip and the second connecting strip.
[0011] It also includes a receiving groove, which is used for the concealment and storage of the deformable door and for pulling it out. A sliding limiting structure is provided between the deformable door and the receiving groove, and an auxiliary reset structure is provided inside the receiving groove in conjunction with the tail end of the deformable door.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the sliding limiting structure includes a limiting groove, the limiting groove being formed at the top and bottom of the receiving groove, and each door strip having a limiting pin at its top and bottom. The limiting pin slides within the limiting groove, and a connecting rope is provided between multiple limiting pins in the same group. The connecting rope enables flexible connection between multiple door strips, so that when the outermost door strip is pulled, the door strips behind it can move. At the same time, the cooperation of the limiting groove and the limiting pin enables the door strip to move and guide when pulled, allowing the deformable door to better cover and conceal the front of the cabinet and hide it after opening, thus improving the flexibility and stability of use.
[0013] The present invention is further provided that a pull groove is provided on the outer side of the outermost door strip, which can improve the convenience of the deformable door body when pulling.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the auxiliary reset structure includes a mounting shaft, which is installed in the receiving groove. A coil spring is installed on the mounting shaft, and the tail end of the coil spring is connected to the innermost door strip. When the deformable door is pulled outward, the coil spring will be stretched, thereby forming a rebound force. Thus, when the flexible protective door is opened and hidden, the rebound force of the coil spring can assist the deformable door to automatically retract and hide, improving the smoothness of the retraction and hiding of the deformable door.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a baffle is provided in the receiving groove, a through groove is provided on the baffle, the coil spring extends outward from the through groove and is connected to the corresponding door strip, and a shock-absorbing protective pad is provided on the side of the innermost door strip. The baffle can isolate the door strip from the coil spring winding area, improve the isolation and protection effect between the coil spring and the deformable door body, and the shock-absorbing protective pad can prevent the deformable door body from being damaged by impact with the partition when it is hidden and stored.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the locking structure is a magnetic locking structure, a protective lock, or a locking pin structure. All of the above locking structures are commonly used existing locking structures, and all can realize the locking and fixing of the deformable door body when it is closed. If two sets of deformable door bodies are symmetrically arranged, the locking structure is installed between the two sets of deformable door bodies. If one set of deformable door bodies is arranged, the locking structure is installed between the deformable door body and the cabinet. If a magnetic locking structure is used, its magnetic locking force must be greater than the tension of the coil spring.
[0017] The cabinet equipped with the aforementioned concealed cabinet door components includes a cabinet body. The interior of the cabinet body is provided with a partition. The partition, together with the side wall, top wall, and bottom wall of the cabinet body, forms a receiving groove. The receiving groove formed by the partition is used to conceal the deformable door in the cabinet when it is opened, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of using the cabinet.
[0018] The present invention is further provided that the bottom end of the cabinet is provided with a support foot, and the top end of the cabinet is provided with a limiting installation groove in conjunction with the support foot. When multiple cabinets are stacked, the support foot of the upper cabinet can be placed in the limiting installation groove at the top of the lower cabinet, which can improve the stability of the cabinets when stacked.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. Saves space and increases flexibility of use
[0021] This invention solves the problem of traditional cabinet doors requiring outward flipping and taking up space through a deformable door design. The door is composed of multiple flexibly connected strips, which can be opened or closed along the receiving groove when pulled, and sealed by the limiting engagement of the first and second connecting strips when closed. This design is particularly suitable for space-constrained environments, such as small homes or dense storage scenarios, allowing users to easily operate the cabinet without reserving space for opening and closing, significantly improving the practicality and flexibility of the cabinet.
[0022] 2. This utility model features a coil spring and a sliding limiting structure (limiting groove and sliding column) working together within the receiving groove to ensure smooth opening of the door when pulled out and automatic springback for retraction after release. The tension of the coil spring assists in the door's rapid return to its original position, while the baffle and shock-absorbing pad reduce impact damage. The connecting rope ensures synchronous movement of the door strips, preventing misalignment. This structure not only simplifies the operation but also enhances the stability and durability of the door's movement.
[0023] 3. The cabinet door assembly is compatible with various locking mechanisms (such as magnetic locks, protective locks, etc.) to meet different security needs. The cabinet body forms a concealed storage groove through partitions, and the support legs and limit mounting grooves facilitate stacking, expanding storage capacity. The modular design of the door strips allows for customized lengths and quantities to adapt to cabinets of different sizes. The sealing gasket enhances dust and moisture protection when closed, and the overall structure is simple and efficient, balancing aesthetics and functionality. Attached Figure Description

[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] This utility model provides a technical solution: Please refer to Figures 1-5 The concealed cabinet door assembly includes a deformable door body 1 and a locking structure. The deformable door body 1 includes door strips 2, and multiple door strips 2 are provided and flexibly connected in sequence. Each door strip 2 has a first connecting strip 3 and a second connecting strip 4 on both sides. The first connecting strips 3 and the second connecting strips 4 are staggered and mutually limit and engage with each other. Sealing gaskets 5 are provided on opposite sides of the first connecting strips 3 and the second connecting strips 4. The sealing gaskets 5 are made of elastic rubber.
[0032] It also includes a receiving groove 6, which is used for the concealment and storage of the deformable door 1 and for pulling it out. A sliding limiting structure is provided between the deformable door 1 and the receiving groove 6, and an auxiliary reset structure is provided inside the receiving groove 6 in conjunction with the tail end of the deformable door 1.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-5As one implementation of the sliding limiting structure: the sliding limiting structure includes a limiting groove 7, which is opened at the top and bottom of the receiving groove 6. Each door strip 2 is provided with a limiting slide post 8 at the top and bottom. The limiting slide post 8 slides within the limiting groove 7. A connecting rope 9 is provided between multiple limiting slide posts 8 in the same group. The connecting rope 9 realizes the flexible connection between multiple door strips 2, so that when the outermost door strip 2 is pulled, the door strip 2 behind it can be moved. At the same time, the cooperation of the limiting groove 7 and the limiting slide post 8 can realize the movement guidance of the door strip 2 when it is pulled, so that the deformable door body 1 can better cover and shield the front of the cabinet 16 and hide and store it after opening, improving the flexibility and stability of use.
[0034] The present invention provides a pull groove 10 on the outer side of the outermost door strip 2. The pull groove 10 can improve the convenience of pulling the deformable door 1.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation of the auxiliary reset structure: the auxiliary reset structure includes a mounting shaft 11, which is installed in the receiving groove 6. A coil spring 12 is installed on the mounting shaft 11. The tail end of the coil spring 12 is connected to the innermost door strip 2. When the deformable door 1 is pulled outward, the coil spring 12 will be stretched, thereby forming a rebound force. Thus, when the flexible protective door is opened and hidden, the rebound force of the coil spring 12 can assist the deformable door 1 to automatically retract and hide, improving the smoothness of the retraction and hiding of the deformable door 1. Here, the elastic coefficient of the coil spring 12 is adapted to the total mass of the deformable door 1.
[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 As one embodiment of the receiving groove 6: a baffle 13 is provided in the receiving groove 6, and a through groove 14 is provided on the baffle 13. The coil spring 12 extends outward from the through groove 14 and is connected to the corresponding door strip 2. A shock-absorbing protective pad 15 is provided on the side of the innermost door strip 2. The baffle 13 can isolate the door strip 2 from the coil spring 12 winding area, improve the isolation and protection effect between the coil spring 12 and the deformable door body 1, and the shock-absorbing protective pad 15 can avoid impact damage between the deformable door body 1 and the partition 17 when it is hidden and stored.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation of the locking structure: the locking structure is a magnetic locking structure, a protective lock or a locking pin structure. All of the above locking structures are commonly used existing locking structures, and all of them can achieve the locking and fixing of the deformable door body 1 when it is closed.
[0038] A flexible connection between adjacent door strips is achieved through connecting ropes;
[0039] When the deformable door 1 adopts a symmetrical double-door design, the locking structure is set at the joint of the two door bodies;
[0040] If a magnetic locking structure is used, its magnetic locking force must be greater than the tension of the coil spring 12;
[0041] The aforementioned magnetic locking structure, protective lock, or locking pin structure are all commonly used connection and locking structures between two components. Those skilled in the art should know this, and the specific structure of this utility model will not be described in detail.
[0042] The cabinet equipped with the above-mentioned concealed cabinet door components includes a cabinet body 16. The interior of the cabinet body 16 is provided with a partition 17. The receiving groove 6 is formed by the partition 17 and the side wall, top wall and bottom wall of the cabinet body 16. The receiving groove 6 formed by the partition 17 is used for the concealed storage of the deformable door 1 on the cabinet when it is opened, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of the cabinet when it is used.
[0043] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation of the cabinet 16: the bottom of the cabinet 16 is provided with a support foot 18, and the top of the cabinet 16 is provided with a limiting installation groove 19 in conjunction with the support foot 18. When multiple cabinets are stacked, the support foot 18 of the upper cabinet 16 can be placed in the limiting installation groove 19 on the top of the lower cabinet 16. In this way, the stability of the cabinets 16 when stacked vertically can be improved.
[0044] In summary, the working principle and specific workflow of this utility model are as follows:
[0045] In use, the deformable door 1 can be pulled outward from the cabinet 16 to close the cabinet 16.
[0046] Taking two sets of deformable door bodies 1 symmetrically arranged as an example, after closing, the two sets of deformable door bodies 1 can be locked and fixed together by a locking structure;
[0047] During the above process, the limiting slide column 8 will drive the door strip 2 to move within the limiting slide groove 7, thereby allowing the deformable door 1 to be pulled outward stably along the receiving groove 6, thus closing the cabinet 16.
[0048] When the deformable cabinet door is closed on the surface of the cabinet 16, the first connecting strip 3 and the second connecting strip 4 on both sides of the door strip 2 will be mutually limited and fitted together, and a sealed connection will be achieved under the action of the sealing gasket 5.
[0049] Furthermore, during the aforementioned process, when the deformable door 1 is pulled outward, it pulls the tail end of the coil spring 12 to move, causing the coil spring 12 to generate a rebound force. Thus, when the cabinet 16 needs to be opened, the locking state of the deformable door 1 is released, and the deformable door 1 is gently pushed outward. Under the rebound pull of the coil spring 12, the deformable door 1 is smoothly retracted into the receiving groove 6, achieving concealment. In this way, the cabinet door can be flexibly opened and closed without flipping outward, reducing the space required for the use of the cabinet.
[0050] This invention requires less space during use, solving the problem that existing cabinet doors need to be flipped outwards and occupy a certain amount of space, thus improving the overall flexibility and convenience of use.
