[0079] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the unfolded / placement state, it extends from the cabinet recess 204 for users to place towels, clothes, etc., which improves the integration of the product and expands its functions.
[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 , Figure 7-9 and Figure 12-17 As shown, the storage mechanism 2 includes a decorative shelf 21 and a folding shelf 22. The folding shelf 22 is hinged between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1, or the decorative shelf 21 is hinged between the folding shelf 22 and the mounting frame 1.
[0081] When the storage mechanism 2 is in its initial state, the folding shelf 22 is in a folded state and the decorative shelf 21 is in a vertical arrangement state.
[0082] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the storage state, the folding shelf 22 is in the unfolded state, and the decorative shelf 21 is in the vertical or horizontal arrangement state.
[0083] In this embodiment, the storage mechanism 2 includes a decorative shelf 21 and a folding shelf 22. The decorative shelf 21 is a decorative panel that can also hold items, hence the name decorative shelf 21. The folding shelf 22 is a foldable support / frame, and can also be considered a shelf that can be flipped or folded.
[0084] There are two ways to connect the decorative shelf 21 to the folding shelf 22:
[0085] The first type: The folding shelf 22 is hinged between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1. That is, one end or one side edge of the folding shelf 22 is hinged to the mounting frame 1, and the other end or the other side edge of the folding shelf 22 is hinged to the decorative shelf 21.
[0086] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the retracted / initial state, the folding shelf 22 is in a folded state, retracting to the front or side of the cabinet 201, or it can be stored in the cabinet recess 204. The decorative shelf 21 is arranged vertically. If the folding shelf 22 is retracted to the front or side of the cabinet 201, the vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 is roughly adjacent to the front or side of the cabinet 201, serving a decorative purpose. If the folding shelf 22 is stored in the cabinet recess 204, the vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 is located in the groove of the cabinet recess 204 or blocks the outside of the groove of the cabinet recess 204. The vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 covers the groove of the cabinet recess 204, also serving a decorative purpose.
[0087] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the storage / unfolded state, the front end or the far end away from the cabinet 201 of the folding shelf 22 extends out from the front or side (left and / or right) of the cabinet 201, or it can extend out from the cabinet recess 204, thus being in the unfolded state. The decorative shelf 21 can be in a vertical or horizontal arrangement. At this time, the folding shelf 22 can be used to place towels, clothing, etc., and the vertically or horizontally arranged decorative shelf 21 can also be used to place towels, clothing, etc. In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the folding shelf 22 includes a folding bracket 221.
[0088] The decorative shelf 21 is vertically arranged on the front side of the mounting frame 1. The rear end of the folding bracket 221 is hinged to the mounting frame 1, and the front end of the folding bracket 221 is hinged to the decorative shelf 21. In this embodiment, the folding shelf 22 adopts the folding bracket 221, the decorative shelf 21 is vertically arranged and hinged to the front end of the folding bracket 221, and the rear end of the folding bracket 221 is hinged to the mounting frame 1.
[0089] In this embodiment, the front-to-back positional relationship of the decorative shelf 21, the folding bracket 221, and the mounting frame 1 is defined based on the cabinet 201. Regardless of whether the mounting frame 1 is installed on the front or side surface of the cabinet 1, when the folding shelf 22 is unfolded, the decorative shelf 21 will leave the cabinet 201, while the mounting frame 1 remains connected to the cabinet 201. The folding shelf 22 connects the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1. Therefore, the relationship between the decorative shelf 21, the folding bracket 221, and the mounting frame 1 is defined as a front-middle-rear relative positional relationship. When the storage mechanism 2 is in the retracted / initial state, the folding bracket 221 is in the folded state, retracting to the front or side of the cabinet 201, or it can be stored in the cabinet recess 204. If the folding bracket 221 is folded up in the front or side of the cabinet 201, the vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 will be roughly next to the front or side of the cabinet 201, serving a decorative purpose; if the folding bracket 221 is stored in the cabinet recess 204, the vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 will be in the groove of the cabinet recess 204 or block the outside of the groove of the cabinet recess 204. The vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 will cover the groove of the cabinet recess 204, and will also serve a decorative purpose.
[0090] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the storage / expanded state, the front end or the far end away from the cabinet 201 of the folding bracket 221 extends out from the front or side (left and / or right) of the cabinet 201, or it can extend out from the cabinet recess 204, thus being in the unfolded state, and the decorative shelf 21 is arranged vertically. At this time, the folding shelf 22 can be used to place towels, clothes, etc., and the vertically arranged decorative shelf 21 can also be used to place towels, clothes, etc.
[0091] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 includes a mounting groove 11 with an opening facing forward, and the rear end of the folding bracket 221 is hinged in the mounting groove 11. When the folding bracket 221 is in the folded state, the folding bracket 221 is stored in the mounting groove 11.
[0092] In this embodiment, a mounting groove 11 is provided on the front side of the mounting frame 1. The mounting groove 11 is used to accommodate the folding bracket 221 in the folded state. The rear end of the folding bracket 221 is installed in the mounting groove 11 via a hinge or pivot. When the folding bracket 221 is in the folded state, it is completely housed in the mounting groove 11, thereby reducing the distance between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1. This facilitates pulling the decorative shelf 21 toward the front surface or side surface of the cabinet 201 or the cabinet recess 204 to cover the opening of the cabinet recess 204.
[0093] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the folding bracket 221 is equipped with a storage net 2214, which can hold towels, clothes, and other items, as well as lightweight cosmetic boxes, combs, and other grooming supplies. The storage net 2214 can be placed on the upper or lower surface of the folding bracket 221 or within the frame of the folding bracket 221.
[0094] The storage net 2214 is a flexible net that can be folded up as the folding bracket 221 is folded up, and can also be unfolded as the folding bracket 221 is unfolded up.
[0095] The storage net 2214 can be made of nylon mesh, metal wire mesh, etc.
[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the folding bracket 221 includes a pair of folding links spaced apart.
[0097] The folding linkage includes a first link 2211 and a second link 2212 arranged front to back and hinged to each other. The first link 2211 is hinged to the decorative shelf 21, and the second link 2212 is hinged to the mounting bracket 1.
[0098] In this embodiment, the folding bracket 221 has a frame structure, which includes a pair of folding links arranged on the left and right. Each set of folding links includes a first link 2211 and a second link 2212. The first link 2211 is located in front of the second link 2212.

[0099] When the folding bracket 221 is folded up, the second link 2212 is folded on the front side of the mounting bracket 1 or placed in the mounting groove 11, the first link 2211 is folded on the front side of the second link 2212, and the decorative shelf 21 is adjacent to the front side of the first link 2211.
[0100] When the folding bracket 221 is fully extended, both the second link 2212 and the first link 2211 extend forward, maximizing the space available for placing items.
[0101] As needed, a damping structure, such as a friction plate, can be provided at the connection between the first link 2211 and the second link 2212, so that the first link 2211 can stay at any angle or position when it is extended relative to the second link 2212.
[0102] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the first link 2211 and the second link 2212 are connected by a damped positioning hinge 2213. By providing a damped positioning hinge 2213 at the connection between the first link 2211 and the second link 2212, the first link 2211 can be stopped at any angle or position when it is extended relative to the second link 2212.
[0103] The damping positioning hinge 2213 is a hinge that can maintain the opening angle, also known as an arbitrary hovering hinge. Its core feature is that it can keep the door, cover, rod and other components at any angle during the opening and closing process without manual support.
[0104] A damping structure, such as a gear or friction plate, is provided between the rotating shaft and the bushing of the damping positioning hinge 2213 to generate constant resistance and prevent the first link 2211 and the second link 2212 from closing automatically.
[0105] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7-11 As shown, the folding shelf 22 includes a folding panel 222.
[0106] The rear edge of the decorative shelf 21 is hinged to the mounting bracket 1, and the folding plate 222 is hinged to the front edge of the decorative shelf 21.
[0107] When the storage mechanism 2 is in its initial state, the decorative shelf 21 is vertically arranged on the front side of the mounting frame 1, and the folding plate 222 is sandwiched between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1.
[0108] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the storage state, the decorative storage panel 21 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the mounting frame 1, and the folding panel 222 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the decorative storage panel 21.
[0109] In this embodiment, the folding shelf 22 adopts a folding plate 222. The folding plate 222 referred to here means that the plate can be flipped and folded relative to the decorative shelf 21, so that it can be stacked between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting frame 1.
[0110] In this embodiment, the front and rear edges of the decorative shelf 21 refer to the front and rear edges of the decorative shelf 21 when it is in the unfolded state. When the decorative shelf 21 is in the vertically arranged state, its rear edge is below the front edge. In this embodiment, the front and rear sides are defined relative to the cabinet 201. When the decorative shelf 21 is unfolded, the side away from the cabinet 201 is called the front side, and the side facing the cabinet 201 is called the rear side.
[0111] Specifically, the decorative shelf 21 is hinged between the mounting frame 1 and the decorative shelf 21. The rear edge of the decorative shelf 21 is hinged to the mounting frame 1 via a hinge or pivot, and the folding plate 222 is hinged to the front edge of the decorative shelf 21 via a hinge or pivot.
[0112] When the storage mechanism 2 is in the extended or placed state, the decorative shelf 21 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the mounting frame 1, and the folding panel 222 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the decorative shelf 21. At this time, both the horizontally arranged folding panel 222 and the decorative shelf 21 can be used to place towels, clothing, and toiletries.
[0113] When the folding shelf 22 needs to be folded up, first fold the folding board 222 on top of the decorative shelf 21, then flip the decorative shelf 21 upwards. The decorative shelf 21 covers the groove of the cabinet recess 204. The folding board 222 is located in the cabinet recess 204 and sandwiched between the decorative shelf 21 and the mounting bracket 1.
