[0035] Example 1

[0036] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a concealed connection structure, which includes: at least two side frames 10, each side frame 10 having a mounting hole 110; multiple connecting rods 20, each connecting rod 20 having a mounting cavity 210, each connecting rod 20 having a positioning hole 220 at its end, and each connecting rod 20 having an operating port 230 on its body, the mounting cavity 210 communicating with the operating port 230 and the positioning hole 220; multiple locking members 30 located within the mounting cavity 210; the locking members 30 passing through the positioning hole 220 and the mounting hole 110 and then being mounted on the side frame 10 to connect the connecting rod 20 to the side frame 10; and a cover 40 detachably disposed in the operating port 230.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the side frame 10 and the connecting rod 20 are detachably connected. During transportation, the side frame 10 and the connecting rod 20 can be disassembled to save transportation space. The side frame 10, which has an overall frame structure, can also reduce the number of connecting parts, making it convenient for users to assemble themselves and achieving the effect of rapid assembly. At the same time, it can reduce the number of connecting parts and reduce production costs.

[0038] During installation, the user first aligns the connecting rod 20 with the side frame 10. It should be noted that this alignment refers to the alignment of the positioning hole 220 with the mounting hole 110. The locking member 30 is then inserted into the mounting cavity 210 through the operating port 230. The user can operate the locking member 30 from the operating port 230, allowing it to pass through the positioning hole 220 and the mounting hole 110 and be installed on the side frame 10, thus connecting the connecting rod 20 to the side frame 10. After the locking member 30 is fixed, the cover 40 is installed at the operating port 230 to cover the mounting cavity 210 and the locking member 30, preventing the locking member 30 from being exposed and improving the aesthetics of the cabinet.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, after the connecting rod 20 and the side frame 10 are aligned, the user operates the locking component 30 through the operation port 230 to connect and fix the connecting rod 20 to the side frame 10. Finally, the cover 40 is placed at the operation port 230 to cover the mounting cavity 210 and the locking component 30, solving the technical problem of exposed bolts in the existing modular cabinet. In addition, as consumers have increasingly higher requirements for product aesthetics, the concealed connection structure of this application can improve the overall aesthetics of the product. After the entire frame is installed, there are no visible traces on the surface, and the structure is more robust; at the same time, installation is simpler and faster.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking member 30 includes a bolt, the bolt head of which is located within the mounting cavity 210; the mounting hole 110 is a threaded hole that matches the bolt. In this embodiment, the bolt can be inserted from the operating port 230 into the mounting cavity 210 and through the positioning hole 220, and then tightened to connect the connecting rod 20 to the side frame 10.

[0041] As a variation of the technical solution, in other embodiments, the locking member 30 includes a bolt, the bolt head of which is located within the mounting cavity 210; the side frame 10 has a receiving cavity that communicates with the mounting hole 110; the bolt passes through the positioning hole 220 and the mounting hole 110 and is then tightened to a nut located within the receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the bolt can be inserted from the operating port 230 into the mounting cavity 210 and through the positioning hole 220, and tightened with the nut within the receiving cavity, thereby connecting the connecting rod 20 to the side frame 10.

[0042] The bolts can be tightened or loosened using a hexagonal key 50. The width of the operating port 230 also matches that of the hexagonal key 50, providing sufficient width for easy operation.

[0043] Furthermore, the side frame 10 has openings at both its top and bottom, which communicate with the receiving cavity; a removable cover 120 is provided at each opening. During installation, the user inserts a nut into the receiving cavity through the opening and temporarily aligns and presses it into the mounting hole 110. After tightening with the bolt, the cover 120 is then installed at the opening to cover the nut and the receiving cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, the bottom of the side frame 10 is threadedly connected to the adjusting foot 130 so as to adjust the overall height of the combination cabinet using the adjusting foot 130.

[0045] In this embodiment, the length direction of the operating port 230 is the same as the length direction of the connecting rod 20, so that there is enough space to operate the locking member 30.

[0046] Furthermore, the cover 40 can be connected to the connecting rod 20 by a snap-fit ​​connection, or by a magnetic connection, or by other technical means in the art; this application does not limit the above connection methods, and the purpose of the cover 40 is to cover the mounting cavity 210 and the locking member 30.

[0047] In this embodiment, the end of the connecting rod 20 is provided with a contouring part, which contacts the side frame 10. The shape of the contouring part is designed to match the surface of the horizontal bar and the vertical bar of the side frame 10 so as to better fit the side frame 10.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] This embodiment provides a modular cabinet, which includes the concealed connection structure described above, and a panel. The panel is connected to the side frame 10 and the connecting rod 20 to form a storage space. The concealed connection structure and the panel in this embodiment combine to form a modular cabinet, making it convenient for users to place items into the storage space.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cabinet also includes at least one drawer located within the storage space.

[0051] In other embodiments, drawers and sections of the panel may be omitted in order to function as a shelf.

[0052] In this embodiment, the operating port 230 is oriented toward the storage space in order to better conceal the cover 40, making the overall appearance of the cabinet more aesthetically pleasing.

[0053] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
