Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet installation technology, specifically to an easily adjustable door panel installation connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the sliding door structure of kitchen cabinets, the metal connectors that link the door panel and frame are the main load-bearing and reinforcing components. At the corners between the door panel and frame, a door panel connector structure is typically used. This type of connector, similar to a reinforcing rib, connects the horizontally positioned cabinet metal frame and the vertically positioned cabinet door panel. In actual installation, due to installation errors, the relative positions of the two parts still need to be fine-tuned after assembly. Existing technology CN220777848U discloses a door panel installation connector that provides a solution to this scenario. It can be seen that by using eccentric nuts in the horizontal and vertical directions, the posture of the door panel can be adjusted in two different directions. However, in practical applications, with the improvement of assembly skills and the need for simplified installation processes, changes in door panel posture can actually be achieved with fewer fasteners and adjustments. Therefore, the existing technology can be further optimized to meet the needs of efficient installation and more stable connections. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical deficiencies in the background technology, this utility model proposes an easily adjustable door panel mounting connector, which solves the aforementioned technical problems and meets practical needs. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0004] An easily adjustable door panel mounting connector includes a base plate and an adjusting plate. The base plate and the adjusting plate are connected as one unit by mounting holes provided on the base plate and the adjusting plate and fastening adjusting parts connected in the mounting holes. The positional relationship between the base plate and the adjusting plate can be changed by changing the state of the fastening adjusting parts.

[0005] The assembly hole includes one shaft connection hole, at least one vertical strip-shaped fixing screw hole, and one height adjustment slot. The base plate and the adjustment plate are both provided with shaft connection holes and fixing screw holes with corresponding positions and quantities. The height adjustment slot exists only on the adjustment plate. The base plate is provided with fixing screw holes corresponding to the position of the height adjustment slot.

[0006] Taking the adjusting plate as a reference, the fastening adjusting component includes a fixed thread pair and an eccentric thread pair. The fixed thread pair is fixed in the shaft connecting hole and the fixed screw hole, and the eccentric thread pair is fixed in the height adjusting slot hole.

[0007] The adjusting plate includes a vertically arranged fixed end and a horizontally arranged adjusting end. The shaft connecting hole, the fixing screw hole, and the height adjusting slot are arranged horizontally at the same height on the adjusting end. The shaft connecting hole is provided on the side of the adjusting plate closer to the fixed end, while the fixing screw hole and the height adjusting slot are provided on the other side of the adjusting plate away from the shaft connecting hole.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, when the number of fixing screw holes of the adjustment plate is 1, the distance between the fixing screw hole and the shaft connection hole is greater than the distance between the height adjustment slot hole and the shaft connection hole.

[0009] When the number of fixing screw holes is 2, the other fixing screw hole is located between the height adjustment slot and the shaft connection hole;

[0010] When the number of fixing screw holes is greater than 2, the distance between at least one fixing screw hole and the shaft connection hole is greater than the distance between the height adjustment slot hole and the shaft connection hole.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a frame fixing position is horizontally provided at the top of the base plate.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the frame fixing position is provided with a pair of nuts for connection.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the frame fixing position is provided with a clamping seat for connection and a fastening stud with a handle at one end and a clamping plate at the other end, which is threaded into the clamping seat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the solution uses fewer fasteners and optimizes the configuration of the fasteners. Without reducing the original basic installation effect, the positional configuration of the fasteners is conducive to maintaining the stability of the product structure, improving the efficiency of actual cabinet installation, reducing the number of fasteners required for cabinet installation, and reasonably realizing the pitch angle fine adjustment of the structure corresponding to the installation position. At the same time, the workload of the assembler is also reduced. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and related examples. The embodiments of this utility model are not limited to the following examples, and this utility model relates to relevant necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as well-known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by those skilled in this technical field.

[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an adjustable door panel mounting connector includes a base plate 1 and an adjusting plate 2. The base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 are connected as one unit through mounting holes 3 provided on the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 and fastening adjusting parts 4 connected in the mounting holes 3. The positional relationship between the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 can be changed by changing the state of the fastening adjusting parts 4.

[0023] The assembly hole 3 includes one shaft connection hole 30, at least one vertically shaped fixing screw hole 31, and one height adjustment slot 32. Both the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 are provided with shaft connection holes 30 and fixing screw holes 31 in corresponding positions and quantities. The shaft connection hole 30, as its name suggests, serves as the rotation axis for the relative tilt angle between the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2. As a supplement, when the fixing screw hole 31 is present on the base plate 1, its shape is preferably circular, while when the fixing screw hole 31 is present on the adjusting plate 2, its shape is preferably vertically shaped. This facilitates the subsequent assembly and connection of the base plate 1 and the adjustment plate 2, ensuring a stable connection between the two after positioning according to the height adjustment slot 32. The fixing threaded pair 40 can always pass through the vertical fixing screw hole 31 of the adjustment plate 2 and connect to the circular fixing screw hole 31 on the base plate 1, avoiding assembly problems. The height adjustment slot 32 exists only on the adjustment plate 2, preferably in the shape of a horizontal strip as shown in the figure. Corresponding to the position of the height adjustment slot 32, the base plate 1 is provided with fixing screw holes 31 for height adjustment.

[0024] Specifically, in order to fine-tune the height relationship between the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 through the height adjustment slot 32, with the adjusting plate 2 as a reference, the fastening adjustment component 4 includes a fixed threaded pair 40 and an eccentric threaded pair 41. The fixed threaded pair 40 is fixed in the shaft connection hole 30 and the fixed screw hole 31, and the eccentric threaded pair 41 is fixed in the height adjustment slot 32. Since the eccentric threaded pair 41 has the characteristic of changing its height with different rotation angles, and the shaft connection hole 30 serves as the center of adjustment, by adjusting the position of the rotation center of the eccentric threaded pair 41 relative to the height adjustment slot 32, the base plate 1 can be fine-tuned in pitch and tilt angles around the shaft connection hole 30 at a certain angle. After determining the specific angle, tightening the fixed threaded pair 40 in the shaft connection hole 30 and the fixed screw hole 31 can complete the fine-tuning of the installation state.

[0025] The adjusting plate 2 includes a vertically arranged fixed end 20 and a horizontally arranged adjusting end 21. The shaft connecting hole 30, the fixing screw hole 31, and the height adjusting slot 32 are horizontally arranged at the same height on the adjusting end 21. The shaft connecting hole 30 is provided on the side of the adjusting plate 2 closer to the fixed end 20, while the fixing screw hole 31 and the height adjusting slot 32 are provided on the other side of the adjusting plate 2 away from the shaft connecting hole 30. The mounting holes 3 on the adjusting end 21 are arranged linearly at the same horizontal height. This is beneficial to use the shaft connecting hole 30 as the rotation axis for adjusting the relative angle between the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2, and to use the eccentric thread pair 41 to change the relative angle between the two. The fixing screw hole 31 can connect the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 at any angle, so as to complete the quick, accurate, and stable installation and positioning between the two.

[0026] As can be seen, compared with the existing design, this utility model optimizes the fit between the adjusting plate 2 and the base plate 1. The adjusting plate 2 makes better use of the horizontal setting of the adjusting hole 3. The shaft connecting hole 30 and the fixing screw hole 31 can provide upward support for the base plate 1 at a similar horizontal height. The shear stress applied between the base plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 and the fastening adjusting part 4 is reasonably distributed at a similar height. Therefore, there will be no problem of a single fastening adjusting part 4 encountering excessive shear stress, and the risk of breakage is also reduced. At the same time, the number of assembly holes 3 and fastening adjusting parts 4 required is also reduced, which simplifies the installation and adjustment steps required during assembly, improves the assembly efficiency of the product, and the assembly effect is not reduced compared with the existing solution.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, when the number of fixing screw holes 31 of the adjusting plate 2 is 1, the distance between the fixing screw hole 31 and the shaft connection hole 30 is greater than the distance between the height adjusting slot hole 32 and the shaft connection hole 30.

[0028] When the number of fixing screw holes 31 is 2, the other fixing screw hole 31 is located between the height adjustment slot hole 32 and the shaft connection hole 30;

[0029] When the number of fixing screw holes 31 is greater than 2, at least one fixing screw hole 31 is at a distance greater than the distance between the shaft connecting hole 30 and the height adjustment slot 32 and the shaft connecting hole 30. The above three methods are all optimizations for the number of fixing screw holes 31. When there is a single fixing screw hole 31, considering the balanced force relationship of three points in a line, and since neither the shaft connecting hole 30 nor the fixing screw hole 31 is an adjustment structure but a fixing structure, it is a better choice to place the height adjustment slot 32 between the shaft connecting hole 30 and the fixing screw hole 31 to achieve a better connection and fastening effect. When the number of fixing screw holes 31 is not unique, it is also necessary to ensure that the height adjustment slot 32 is at least between the shaft connecting hole 30 and the fixing screw hole 31.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a frame fixing position 10 is horizontally provided at the top of the base plate 1. The function of the frame fixing position 10 is to enable the door panel mounting connector of the present invention to be connected with the existing cabinet metal frame; and as one of the further optimization directions of the above embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the frame fixing position 10 is provided with a connecting nut pair 5. This method requires the frame fixing position 10 to be a screw hole or a strip screw hole, which can complete the required assembly operation in a relatively simple threaded pair form; as another further optimization of the above embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frame fixing position 10 is provided with a clamping seat 6 for connection and a fastening stud 7 that is threaded into the clamping seat 6, with a handle at one end and a clamping plate at the other end. This method does not require drilling in the frame fixing position 10, so the two parts can be tightly connected into one piece by using a clamping plate. Both of the above-mentioned installation methods of the frame fixing position 10 can meet the actual needs and facilitate the assembly personnel to select the appropriate configuration according to the actual situation.

[0031] The door panel mounting connector described in this utility model is preferably applied to cabinet furniture and other applications with pull-out structures, especially in movable cabinet door structures with sliding drawers (luxury damping drawers). After being fixedly connected to the drawer side structure, it is then connected to the surface cover structure. As in the connection method of the frame fixing position 10 in the two embodiments of this utility model, the connection between the door panel mounting connector and the drawer side structure can be well realized, thereby determining the correct assembly relationship and achieving the required installation and usage effects.

[0032] In summary, this utility model uses fewer fasteners, reducing production and installation costs. It optimizes the fastener placement, lowers assembly requirements, and, without compromising the original installation performance, ensures the product's structural stability through the fastener placement. The three-point alignment of the fasteners contributes significantly to structural stability, improving efficiency during actual cabinet installation. Furthermore, the reduced assembly requirements and simplified component structure allow for the fulfillment of operational requirements for the corresponding installation position, and more specifically, the fine-tuning of the tilt angle of the connecting door, while simultaneously reducing the assembler's workload. This represents a reasonable simplification and improvement of existing solutions.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
