Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of furniture and home appliance integration design technology, specifically a modular design integrated furniture and home appliance combination rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of combining home furnishings and appliances, modular combination shelves, as a multifunctional integrated device, have flexibility and space utilization as important indicators of product practicality. Currently, there are some design solutions that combine furniture and appliances on the market, but the structures in these solutions are usually relatively fixed, making it difficult to meet the diverse needs of different scenarios. In addition, existing designs often lack sufficient flexibility in mechanical connection methods, causing users to spend a lot of time and effort when installing, adjusting, or expanding them.

[0003] For example, some designs use bolts or welding to fix components together. While this ensures the stability of the overall structure, users may face difficulties in disassembly if they need to reconfigure the assembly or replace parts. Furthermore, the modular interface design of some products is not standardized enough, limiting compatibility between different functional modules and affecting the user experience. These issues indicate that existing technologies still have room for improvement in terms of flexibility and convenience.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a modular design for an integrated furniture and appliance rack. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing integrated furniture and appliance racks in terms of flexibility, compatibility, and ease of installation, and to provide a modularly designed integrated furniture and appliance rack to meet diverse needs in different scenarios.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a modularly designed integrated furniture and appliance rack, comprising a main frame and functional module components. The main frame consists of several connecting units, each connected by a detachable snap-fit ​​structure. The functional module components include multiple independent functional modules, each installed in conjunction with the main frame via a sliding plug-in mechanism and fixed in position by a locking device.

[0007] The functional module components include a storage module, a display module, and an appliance-carrying module. The storage module has several internal partitions connected to its inner wall via sliding grooves, allowing users to adjust their positions. The display module has a transparent panel on its front, connected to the module's frame via hinges, and its edges are sealed with strips. The appliance-carrying module has ventilation holes at its top, below which is a guide plate connected to the bottom of the module via threaded posts.

[0008] The connecting unit includes a column and a crossbeam. The column has several positioning slots on its sidewalls, and the crossbeam has protrusions at both ends that match the positioning slots. These protrusions are inserted into the positioning slots and secured by rotating buckles. A slide rail is located in the middle of the crossbeam, and stop blocks are located at both ends of the slide rail. The stop blocks are fixedly connected to the slide rail by bolts. The sliding insertion mechanism includes a slider and a guide. The slider is embedded in the slide rail and moves along it. One end of the guide is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the functional module.

[0009] The locking device includes a locking pin and a spring. The locking pin passes through the slider and engages with a locking hole on the slide rail. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the locking pin, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider. When the slider moves to a predetermined position, the spring pushes the locking pin into the locking hole, thereby fixing the position of the slider. An operating button is provided at the outer end of the locking pin; the user can press the operating button to disengage the locking pin from the locking hole, thus releasing the locking state.

[0010] The main frame has support feet at its bottom, which are connected to the bottom of the column via threads. The bottom of each support foot has an anti-slip pad. The support feet have an internal height adjustment mechanism, which includes an adjusting screw and a limiting block. One end of the adjusting screw is connected to the bottom of the support foot, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting block.

[0011] The back of the functional module is equipped with an interface module, which includes a power interface and a data interface. The power interface is connected to the internal electrical components of the functional module via wires, and the data interface is connected to external devices via signal lines. A protective cover is provided on the outside of the interface module, and the protective cover is connected to the back of the functional module via a magnetic structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The detachable snap-fit ​​structure and sliding plug-in mechanism enable flexible connection and rapid installation between the main frame and functional modules. Users can select different functional modules according to their actual needs and install them onto the main frame via the sliding plug-in mechanism. The locking device design ensures the stability of the functional modules after installation while facilitating disassembly and replacement. Furthermore, the introduction of a height adjustment mechanism allows the modular frame to adapt to different ground conditions, enhancing its overall applicability.

[0014] The practicality of the functional modules is further enhanced through the design of dividers, transparent panels, and ventilation holes. The adjustable dividers allow the storage modules to meet the storage needs of different items; the sealing strip design of the transparent panels improves the sealing performance of the display modules; and the combination of ventilation holes and airflow deflectors optimizes the heat dissipation of the appliance-supporting modules. These detailed designs not only improve the functionality of the rack but also enhance the user experience.

[0023] This utility model provides a modularly designed integrated furniture and home appliance rack, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main frame 1 and functional modules 2. The main frame 1 consists of multiple connecting units 3, each connected together by a detachable snap-fit ​​structure, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the overall structure. The specific structure of the connecting unit 3 is described in... Figure 2 The diagram shows in detail that its main components include columns 4 and beams 5. The side walls of the columns 4 have several evenly distributed and regularly shaped positioning grooves 6, which are used to engage with the protrusions at both ends of the beams 5. The beams 5 have protrusions at both ends that match the positioning grooves 6. After the protrusions are inserted into the positioning grooves 6, they are secured by rotating buckles 7, thus achieving a firm connection between the columns 4 and the beams 5. This connection method is not only simple to operate, but also allows for adjustment of the number and position of the connecting units 3 according to actual needs, adapting to different spatial layouts.

[0024] A slide rail 8 is located in the middle of the main frame 1. Stop blocks are bolted to both ends of the slide rail 8. The stop blocks limit the movement range of the slider 9 and prevent it from detaching from the slide rail 8. The design of the slide rail 8 allows the functional module 2 to be flexibly installed with the main frame 1 via a sliding insertion mechanism. The sliding insertion mechanism includes a slider 9 and a guide. The slider 9 is embedded in the slide rail 8 and moves along it. One end of the guide is fixedly connected to the slider 9, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the functional module 2. The movement of the slider 9 within the slide rail 8 is smooth and controllable. When the slider 9 moves to a predetermined position, the locking device 10 activates to fix its position. The locking device 10 includes a locking pin and a spring. The locking pin passes through the slider 9 and engages with a locking hole on the slide rail 8. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the locking pin, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 9. When the slider 9 moves to the predetermined position, the spring pushes the locking pin into the locking hole, thereby fixing the position of the slider 9. The outer end of the locking pin is equipped with an operating button. Users can press the operating button to disengage the locking pin from the lock hole, thereby unlocking the locking state and facilitating the disassembly or reinstallation of functional module 2.

[0025] Functional module 2 includes a storage module, a display module, and an appliance support module, all connected to the main frame 1 via a sliding plug-in mechanism. The storage module has several internal partitions connected to its inner wall via sliding grooves, allowing the partitions to move and adjust freely within the module. Users can flexibly adjust the partition positions according to the size and quantity of stored items, optimizing storage space utilization. The display module has a transparent panel on its front, connected to the module's frame via hinges, allowing it to open and close by rotating around the hinges. A sealing strip made of flexible material is located along the edge of the transparent panel, effectively improving the module's sealing performance and preventing dust or other external substances from entering. The appliance support module has ventilation holes 12 at its top, and a guide plate 13 below these holes, connected to the bottom of the module via threaded posts. The guide plate 13 guides hot air out of the ventilation holes 12, improving heat dissipation and ensuring the proper functioning of appliances placed on it.

[0026] The main frame 1 has support feet 14 at its bottom, which are threaded to the bottom of the column 4. The bottom of each support foot 14 has an anti-slip pad made of rubber to increase friction between the frame and the ground, preventing slippage during use. The support feet 14 have an internal height adjustment mechanism, including an adjusting screw 15 and a limiting block 16. One end of the adjusting screw 15 is connected to the bottom of the support foot 14, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting block 16, which is threaded into the inner wall of the column 4. Users can adjust the height of the support feet 14 by rotating the adjusting screw 15 to adapt to different ground conditions. For example, on uneven ground, adjusting the height of each support foot 14 individually can keep the frame level, improving its stability and applicability.

[0027] The back of functional module 2 features an interface module, which includes a power interface and a data interface. The power interface connects to the internal electrical components of functional module 2 via wires, while the data interface connects to external devices via signal lines. A protective cover is located on the outside of the interface module, and this cover is magnetically attached to the back of functional module 2. The magnetic design allows the cover to be easily opened and closed, while ensuring the interface module's sealing and safety when not in use. The interface module provides functional module 2 with power supply and data transmission support, enabling it to meet more diverse usage needs.

[0028] In practical applications, users can select different functional modules 2 according to their needs and install them onto the main frame 1 via a sliding plug-in mechanism. For example, in a living room environment, a display module can be installed to display decorations or collectibles, showcasing their contents through a transparent panel; simultaneously, an appliance support module can be installed to place televisions or other electronic devices. The heat dissipation holes 12 and air deflectors 13 of the appliance support module effectively address the heat generated during device operation. In a study environment, a storage module can be installed to store books or stationery. The internal dividers of the storage module can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the books, thereby improving space utilization. Furthermore, the detachable snap-fit ​​structure and height adjustment mechanism of the main frame 1 allow for quick assembly and disassembly of the modular shelving unit, adapting to different floor conditions and further enhancing its applicability and convenience.

[0029] This utility model achieves flexible connection and rapid installation between the main frame 1 and functional modules 2 through modular design and innovative mechanical connection methods. The connection relationships, positional relationships, and mutual cooperation relationships between the various components have been carefully designed to ensure the overall stability and functionality of the assembly frame. To better enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of its implementation principles is provided in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0030] In practice, users can select different functional modules 2 according to space requirements and usage scenarios, and install them onto the main frame 1. First, the connecting unit 3 of the main frame 1 is assembled by fixing it with the rotating clips 7 between its uprights 4 and crossbeams 5. Specifically, after the protrusions at both ends of the crossbeam 5 are inserted into the positioning grooves 6 on the side wall of the upright 4, a secure connection is achieved through the rotating clips 7. This design allows the number and position of the connecting units 3 to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual spatial layout, thereby meeting the needs of different sized environments.

[0031] After the main frame 1 is assembled, the user can install the functional module 2 onto the slide rail 8 of the main frame 1 via the sliding plug-in mechanism. The slider 9 is embedded in the slide rail 8 and moves along it until it reaches the predetermined position. At this time, the spring in the locking device 10 pushes the locking pin into the lock hole on the slide rail 8, thereby fixing the position of the slider 9. If it is necessary to adjust or replace the functional module 2, the user only needs to press the operation button on the outer end of the locking pin to disengage the locking pin from the lock hole, thereby unlocking the state and reconfiguring the position of the functional module 2.

[0032] Taking the storage module as an example, users can optimize space using its internal dividers. The dividers connect to the inner wall of the storage module via sliding grooves and can move freely according to the size and quantity of stored items. For example, in a study environment, users can adjust the dividers to a suitable height and spacing for storing books, thereby improving storage efficiency. The display module, on the other hand, provides a display function through its transparent panel design. The transparent panel is connected to the frame via hinges and can be opened or closed by rotating around the hinges. The sealing strips at the edges of the transparent panel are made of flexible material, effectively preventing dust from entering the module and ensuring the cleanliness of the displayed content.

[0033] The heat dissipation performance of the appliance-supporting module is enhanced through the cooperation of the heat dissipation holes 12 and the air guide plate 13. When the appliance is running, the heat generated is guided through the air guide plate 13 to the heat dissipation holes 12 for exhaust. The air guide plate 13 is connected to the bottom of the module via threaded posts, and its angle and position are carefully designed to optimize the flow path of hot air, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. This design ensures the normal operation of the appliance and avoids performance degradation due to overheating.

[0034] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism of the support legs 14 further enhances the applicability of the modular shelving unit. In uneven ground, users can adjust the height of the support legs 14 by rotating the adjusting screw 15. One end of the adjusting screw 15 is connected to the bottom of the support leg 14, and the other end engages with the inner wall of the column 4 via a limiting block 16. By adjusting the height of each support leg 14 individually, the modular shelving unit can be kept level, thereby improving overall stability. The anti-slip pads at the bottom of the support legs 14 are made of rubber, increasing the friction between the modular shelving unit and the ground and preventing slippage during use.

[0035] The interface module on the back of Functional Module 2 provides support for power supply and data transmission. The power interface connects to the internal electrical components of the module via wires, while the data interface communicates with external devices via signal lines. The protective cover of the interface module is magnetically attached to the back of the module, facilitating opening and closing while ensuring sealing and safety when not in use.

[0036] In summary, this utility model achieves flexible connection and rapid installation between the main frame 1 and the functional module 2 through modular design and innovative mechanical connection methods. The connection relationships, positional relationships, and mutual cooperation between the various components have been carefully designed to ensure the overall stability and functionality of the modular frame, while significantly improving the user experience.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
