Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage cabinet technology, and more specifically, to a storage cabinet with a rotating pull-out basket. Background Technology

[0002] Existing lockers, such as the Chinese patent application number 201921510162.4, have improved upon the original pull-out structure to facilitate the retrieval of items from the pull-out basket, resulting in a pull-out basket that can rotate after being pulled out. While this type of basket makes it easy to access items on either side when rotated out, it is difficult to align properly when rotating back, leading to deviations. It is also prone to jamming when retracting into the locker. Furthermore, the overall weight of the basket increases after items are placed inside, causing it to wobble during rotation, making the rotating structure unstable and unreliable. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model first provides a storage cabinet with a rotating pull-out basket, comprising a cabinet body and a pull-out basket. The cabinet body is equipped with a slide rail device, and the pull-out basket and the cabinet body are slidably connected back and forth via the slide rail device. The cabinet body and the slide rail device are rotatably connected. The slide rail device is equipped with a slider and an elastic element. The slider slides in the back-and-forth direction, and the elastic element abuts against the slider to cause the slider to spring back. The pull-out basket is equipped with a slide seat suitable for engaging the slider. When the pull-out basket rotates out, the slide seat presses against the slider, causing the slider to move in the back-and-forth direction to avoid the slide seat. When the pull-out basket rotates back, after the slide seat presses against the slider, the elastic element causes the slider to engage with the slide seat.

[0004] Optionally, the slide rail device is provided with a mounting base, the slider is slidably mounted in the mounting base, the elastic element is accommodated in the mounting base, and the two ends of the elastic element abut against the inner wall of the slider and the mounting base, respectively.

[0005] Optionally, the mounting base is provided with a limiting wall, and the slider includes a limiting part. The limiting wall is adapted to abut against the limiting part to limit the rebound distance of the slider.

[0006] Optionally, the limiting part is provided with a connecting groove, the inner wall of the mounting base is provided with a connecting post, one end of the elastic element is accommodated in the connecting groove, and the other end is sleeved on the connecting post.

[0007] Optionally, the slider includes a first connecting portion, the slide block includes a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are slidably connected, the first connecting portion is adapted to engage with the second connecting portion, and both the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are provided with rounded corners.

[0008] Optionally, the slide rail device is provided with a first turntable, and the pull basket is provided with a second turntable, the first turntable and the second turntable being rotatably connected.

[0009] Optionally, there are two slide rail devices, which are located at the upper and lower ends of the cabinet; two slide seats are distributed at intervals at both the upper and lower ends of the pull-out basket.

[0010] Optionally, the slide rail device is a three-section ball bearing slide rail, and the slide rail device is equipped with a buffer, which is used to buffer the forward and backward movement of the basket.

[0011] Optionally, the slide rail device is provided with rollers, the axis of the rollers is located in the front-back direction, and the rollers are adapted to be rotatably connected to the upper or lower end of the pull basket.

[0012] Optionally, the roller is provided with a mounting groove, in which a connecting ring is installed. The connecting ring is adapted to be rotatably connected with the basket and is used to increase friction and / or compensate for height differences.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the storage cabinet with a rotating pull-out basket in this invention achieves forward and backward positioning during rotation through the movable engagement of a sliding block and a slider, preventing deviations in the rotation position and reducing the hassle for users who need to aim and position the basket when rotating. This application achieves automatic positioning and stable retraction of the pull-out basket during rotation. Users can easily pull out the basket, rotate it, and then push it back after rotation, with smooth operation. The cooperative design of the slider and sliding block ensures that the pull-out basket can accurately lock in position after rotation, preventing the basket from rotating out on its own or failing to return to its original position during rotation, improving safety and convenience, and making it particularly suitable for high-frequency use scenarios such as kitchen storage cabinets or wardrobes.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.

[0025] This utility model embodiment provides a storage cabinet with a rotating pull-out basket, combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes a cabinet 1 and a pull-out basket 2. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a slide rail device 4. The pull-out basket 2 and the cabinet 1 are slidably connected back and forth via the slide rail device 4. The cabinet 1 and the slide rail device 4 are rotatably connected. The slide rail device 4 is equipped with a slider 5 and an elastic element 6. The slider 5 slides in the back and forth direction, and the elastic element 6 abuts against the slider 5 to drive the slider 5 to rebound. The pull-out basket 2 is equipped with a slide seat 3 suitable for engaging the slider 5. When the pull-out basket 2 rotates out, the slide seat 3 presses against the slider 5, causing the slider 5 to move in the back and forth direction to avoid the slide seat 3. When the pull-out basket 2 rotates back, after the slide seat 3 presses against the slider 5, the elastic element 6 drives the slider 5 to engage in the slide seat 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic element 6 is a spring. The cabinet 1 and the pull-out basket 2 are engaged by the sliding block 3 and the slider 5, achieving a forward and backward positioning effect during rotation. This prevents deviations in the rotation position and reduces the hassle for the user of aiming and positioning the basket 2 when rotating. This application achieves automatic positioning and stable retraction of the pull-out basket 2 during rotation. The user can easily pull out the basket 2, rotate it, and then push it back, resulting in smooth operation. The cooperative design of the slider 5 and the sliding block 3 ensures that the pull-out basket 2 can accurately lock into place after rotation, preventing the basket 2 from rotating out on its own or failing to return to its original position during rotation. This improves safety and convenience, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency use scenarios such as kitchen storage cabinets or wardrobes.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the slide rail device 4 is provided with a mounting base 7, the slider 5 is slidably mounted in the mounting base 7, the elastic member 6 is accommodated in the mounting base 7, and the two ends of the elastic member 6 abut against the inner wall of the slider 5 and the mounting base 7 respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mounting base 7 and the slide rail device 4 are connected by bolts. The mounting base 7 provides a stable mounting foundation for the slider 5 and the elastic element 6, ensuring that the slider 5 does not deviate or jam during sliding. The elastic element 6 effectively transmits its own rebound force to the slider 5, providing a driving force for the slider 5 to rebound and lock into the slide block 3, enhancing the reliability and service life of the sliding structure, while also facilitating assembly and maintenance. The elastic element 6 is housed in the mounting base 7 and does not contact the outside, thus providing protection and preventing damage to the elastic element 6.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the mounting base 7 is provided with a limiting wall 71, and the slider 5 includes a limiting part 51. The limiting wall 71 is adapted to abut against the limiting part 51 to limit the rebound distance of the slider 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the limiting wall 71 and the limiting part 51 can limit the rebound stroke of the slider 5, preventing the slider 5 from falling out of the mounting base 7 due to excessive compression or rebound of the elastic element 6, which would cause structural damage or functional failure, and improve the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the limiting part 51 is provided with a connecting groove 511, the inner wall of the mounting base 7 is provided with a connecting post 72, one end of the elastic member 6 is accommodated in the connecting groove 511, and the other end is sleeved on the connecting post 72.

[0032] In this embodiment, the design of the connecting groove 511 and the connecting post 72 makes the elastic element 6 more securely installed, preventing the elastic element 6 from falling off or shifting due to vibration or frequent operation during use, and further improving the overall integrity and reliability of the structure. A limiting part 51 is provided with two connecting grooves 511, which respectively abut against two elastic elements 6. The two elastic elements 6 are spaced apart from each other, making the elastic force transmission more stable.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the slider 5 includes a first connecting part 52, and the slide block 3 includes a second connecting part 31. The first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 31 are slidably connected. The first connecting part 52 is adapted to engage with the second connecting part 31. Both the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 31 are provided with rounded corners.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the first connecting portion 52 and the second connecting portion 31 are arc-shaped. The rounded corner design reduces friction and impact when the first connecting portion 52 and the second connecting portion 31 come into contact, making the snap-fit ​​process smoother and quieter, reducing jamming, and at the same time reducing wear and extending service life.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the slide rail device 4 is provided with a first turntable 41, and the pull basket 2 is provided with a second turntable 21, and the first turntable 41 and the second turntable 21 are rotatably connected.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first turntable 41 and the second turntable 21 work together to achieve smooth rotation between the pull-out basket 2 and the cabinet 1. Users can easily adjust the direction of the pull-out basket 2, allowing it to rotate 90 degrees to the left or right, or to other desired angles, making it more convenient to store and retrieve items. This is especially suitable for corner cabinets or narrow spaces. The second turntable 21 is located at the middle of the upper and lower ends of the pull-out basket 2. The positions of the first turntable 41 and the second turntable 21 are adapted to each other, enabling the pull-out basket 2 to maintain stable rotation, with the axis of rotation close to the center of gravity of the pull-out basket 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, there are two slide rail devices 4, which are located at the upper and lower ends of the cabinet 1; and two slide seats 3 are distributed at intervals at both the upper and lower ends of the pull-out basket 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the pull-out basket 2 slides in the front-to-back direction, the slide block 3, the slider 5, and the elastic element 6 can play a role in shock absorption and buffering. The double slide rail device 4 and the multi-point distributed slide blocks 3 work together to significantly improve the load-bearing capacity and overall motion stability of the pull-out basket 2, preventing the pull-out basket 2 from shaking or tilting when pulled out or rotated.

[0039] Optionally, the slide rail device 4 is a three-section ball bearing slide rail, and the slide rail device 4 is equipped with a buffer (not shown), which is used to buffer the forward and backward movement of the pull basket 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the three-section ball bearing slide rail ensures smoothness and maximum extension distance when the basket 2 is extended, while the damper effectively reduces the impact force when the basket 2 closes, avoiding collision noise and damage, and improving the user experience. The damper is usually a spring structure built into the three-section ball bearing slide rail. Both the damper and the three-section ball bearing slide rail are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, a two-section slide rail can also be used as the slide rail device 4.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the slide rail device 4 is provided with a roller 8, the axis of the roller 8 is located in the front-back direction, and the roller 8 is adapted to be rotatably connected to the upper or lower end of the pull basket 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are four rollers 8, located at the front and rear ends of the upper and lower slide rail devices 4, respectively. The rollers 8 are positioned between the first turntable 41 and the slider 5 in the front-to-back direction. When the pull-out basket 2 is not rotating, the rollers 8 rest against the bottom of the basket 2, providing load-bearing support and making the overall structure more stable. When the user rotates the pull-out basket 2, the bottom of the basket 2 drives the rollers 8 to rotate, and the rollers 8 guide and support the rotation, making the rotation of the basket 2 smoother and reducing wobbling.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the roller 8 is provided with an mounting groove, and a connecting ring 81 is installed in the mounting groove. The connecting ring 81 is adapted to be rotatably connected with the pull basket 2. The connecting ring 81 is used to increase friction and / or compensate for height difference.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting ring 81 can be made of different materials (such as rubber, silicone, etc.) as needed, which not only enhances the friction between the roller 8 and the pull basket 2 to prevent slippage, but also compensates for dimensional deviations during the assembly process to ensure a tight fit of the overall structure.
