[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] In this embodiment: A type of modular stainless steel cabinet, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the cabinet includes a main body 1. A supporting mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the interior of the main body 1. The supporting mechanism 5 includes a slot 501, which is formed on the side panel of the main body 1. A support plate 502 is slidably installed inside the main body 1 via a slide rail 503. The support plate 502 slides from the slot 501 to the outside. A mounting groove 506 is formed on the lower surface of the support plate 502. A movable plate is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting groove 506. The far end of the movable plate is inserted into the side panel of the main body 1 via a positioning groove 512. The panel 502, movable panel, and cabinet body 1 form a triangular support mechanism. This modular stainless steel cabinet achieves flexible space expansion through the cooperation of the cabinet body 1 and the supporting mechanism 5. The slot 501 and the slide rail 503 allow the support panel 502 to slide out smoothly, forming an additional work surface, effectively solving the problem of insufficient space in small kitchens. At the same time, the insertion of the movable panel and the positioning slot 512 constructs a stable triangular support mechanism, ensuring the load-bearing capacity and safety of the expanded back surface, and preventing structural deformation or collapse due to external impact.

[0024] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The support plate 502 is damped and slidably installed on both sides of the slide rail 503. The support plate 502 is a hollow aluminum alloy plate. The support plate 502 adopts a damped sliding installation method, which makes the pushing and pulling process more stable and smooth. Users can easily control the expansion speed and avoid sudden slippage that may cause safety hazards. At the same time, the use of hollow aluminum alloy plate material reduces the overall weight while maintaining sufficient structural strength. It also has rust-proof and corrosion-resistant properties, which extends the service life of the device and complements the stainless steel cabinet body 1.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A front side plate 504 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the support plate 502. The front side plate 504 is positioned opposite to and fits the slot 501. The precise fit between the front side plate 504 and the slot 501 ensures the integrity and aesthetics of the cabinet in the closed state and avoids dust accumulation in the gaps. At the same time, as the force-bearing point for pulling the support plate 502, the rigid structure of the front side plate can evenly distribute the pulling force during operation, prevent local deformation, and thus maintain the long-term reliability of the expansion mechanism.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A groove 505 is provided on one side of the surface of the front panel 504. The groove 505 is the point where the operator applies force to the front panel 504 and the support plate 502. The groove 505 is designed in accordance with the principles of ergonomics, providing the user with a clear point of force application, making one-handed operation possible and greatly improving the ease of use. At the same time, the groove structure is hidden on the surface of the front panel 504, which does not affect the cleanliness of the cabinet appearance and avoids the risk of bumps and knocks that may be caused by exposed handles.

[0027] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The movable plate includes a first movable plate 507 and a second movable plate 508. One side of the first movable plate 507 is rotatably connected to the support plate 502 via a pivot. Wedge-shaped rubber blocks 513 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 506 to limit the position of the movable plate. The first movable plate 507 and the second movable plate 508 can rotate at multiple angles via the pivot, which can adapt to the expansion needs of different depths and enhance the adaptability to complex kitchen environments. At the same time, the wedge-shaped rubber blocks 513 can effectively limit the movable plate to the inside of the mounting groove 506, prevent shaking and abnormal noise when not in use, and reduce the wear of metal parts through flexible buffering.

[0028] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The surfaces of the first movable plate 507 and the second movable plate 508 are provided with straight grooves 509. Two sets of adjusting handwheels 510 and positioning blocks 511 are fastened to the inner side of the straight grooves 509. The adjusting handwheels 510 and the positioning blocks 511 are threadedly connected to each other and used to fasten the first movable plate 507 and the second movable plate 508. The combination of the straight grooves 509 and the adjusting handwheels 510 allows users to precisely adjust the extension length of the movable plates to meet the support needs in various scenarios. At the same time, the threaded positioning blocks 511 provide strong locking force to ensure that the movable plates will not shift or loosen when bearing weight, thus ensuring the stability of the expansion mechanism.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The cabinet body 1 has a sink 2 installed on one side inside, and a faucet 3 installed on the upper side of the sink 2. Several drawers 4 are slidably installed on the other side inside the cabinet body 1. The integrated design of the sink 2 and the faucet 3 realizes the integration of cleaning and operation functions, reduces the distance users move in the kitchen, and improves operation efficiency. At the same time, the sliding installation of the drawers 4 makes full use of the internal space of the cabinet, making it easy to classify and store kitchen utensils, and making the overall layout more compact and reasonable.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The user pulls the front panel 504 through the slot 505, so that the support plate 502 slides out of the cabinet body 1 from the slot 501 along the slide rail 503; then rotate the first movable plate 507 and the second movable plate 508 in the mounting slot 506, adjust the length and tighten it through the adjusting handwheel 510, and finally insert the far end of the movable plate into the positioning slot 512 to form a triangular support, so that the extended countertop works in coordination with the sink 2, the faucet 3 and the drawer 4 to achieve flexible space expansion and functional integration; In this embodiment, the support plate 502 and the slide rail 503 are slidably installed together. The slide rail 503 is provided with a limiting mechanism to limit the maximum sliding movement of the support plate 502 and prevent the support plate 502 from slipping off. Since this technology is a conventional technology, the applicant will not elaborate on it here.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
