Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass cabinet assembly and connection technology, and in particular to a pre-embedded connection structure for glass and a glass cabinet including the structure. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is widely used in many fields such as architectural decoration, furniture manufacturing, and various display equipment due to its unique transparent texture, beautiful appearance, and good physical and chemical properties. For example, glass cabinets are mostly made of multiple glass panels of different specifications assembled together and fastened with connectors.

[0003] However, the existing components and structures used for assembling glass cannot be flush with the outer surface of the glass. Common examples include bolts and nuts, or screws, which are partially exposed and protrude from the outer surface of the glass. These connectors are easily visible from the front, and they are large and too obtrusive, which goes against the requirements for the overall aesthetics of the glass cabinet.

[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a pre-embedded connection structure for glass and a glass cabinet including the structure to solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is as follows: Firstly, a pre-embedded connection structure for glass includes a glass plate with a through hole, a countersunk hole at the port of the through hole, a first connector glued in the countersunk hole, the first connector passing through the countersunk hole and the through hole and penetrating the glass plate, and the end of the first connector being limited and placed in the countersunk hole and flush with the surface of the glass plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the diameter of the countersunk hole is larger than the diameter of the through hole, and the wall of the countersunk hole is a tapered or arc-shaped surface that gradually expands from the inside to the outside.

[0008] In some embodiments, the end of the first connector is formed with a countersunk head whose shape matches the countersunk hole, and the countersunk head is placed and glued to be fixed in the countersunk hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, a single set of the connection structure includes two connection structures symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the glass plate, and multiple sets of the connection structures are formed on the glass plate.

[0010] Secondly, this application proposes a glass cabinet, which includes a plurality of glass panels, each of which is provided with at least one pre-embedded connection structure for the glass as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0011] In some embodiments, the glass panel on the glass cabinet includes several storage glass panels, glass partitions and glass back panels, as well as a single upper glass panel, wherein each storage glass panel includes two sets of symmetrically arranged pre-embedded connection structures for the glass as described in any of the first aspects above.

[0012] In some embodiments, two glass partitions are grouped together, and multiple groups of glass partitions are longitudinally fixed at equal intervals on the same side of the glass back panel, and the glass partitions are arranged perpendicular to the glass back panel. The two outermost groups of glass partitions are arranged at the two side edges of the glass back panel, and the upper glass plate is fixed to the top of the glass partitions.

[0013] In some embodiments, a second connector is also included, which is fixed to the first connector on the glass shelf. A middle connecting pin is transversely inserted into a single set of glass partitions. The two ends of the middle connecting pin are respectively fixed to two second connectors on both sides of the glass partition. Multiple glass shelves are horizontally arranged between two adjacent sets of glass partitions.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second connector and the first connector, as well as the second connector and the intermediate connecting pin, are connected and fixed by threaded engagement.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second connector is L-shaped with a bend, one side of which is a right-angle bend that fits the glass shelf and the glass partition, while the other side has a rounded edge.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application involves creating countersunk holes and through holes in the glass, and then passing a first connector through the through hole. The countersunk head of the first connector is glued and fixed inside the countersunk hole, so that the countersunk head is flush with the outer surface of the glass when viewed from the easily observable outer surface. For a glass cabinet, the first connector is fixed to a second connector, and the second connector is fixed to a central connecting pin that penetrates the glass partition. Finally, the glass is fixed to the glass cabinet. The second connector is located on the side of the glass that is not easily observed and is bent close to the glass at a right angle, which serves both trimming and decorative functions without affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0017] In summary, the pre-embedded connection structure of this type of glass makes the connection / splicing parts of glass products more natural, beautiful and not obtrusive. In addition, the first connector in this application is small in size and has a certain degree of concealment, making the overall appearance more beautiful and elegant. Attached Figure Description

[0027] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, the embedded connection structure for glass and the glass cabinet containing the structure mainly include: Firstly, an embedded connection structure for glass includes a glass plate with a through hole 1 and a countersunk hole 2 at the end of the through hole 1. A first connector 3 is glued into the countersunk hole 2. The first connector 3 passes through the countersunk hole 2 and the through hole 1 and then through the glass plate. The end of the first connector 3 is positioned within the countersunk hole 2 and is flush with the surface of the glass plate. Specifically, the connection structure, i.e., the through hole 1 and the countersunk hole 2, is generally formed on the glass plate. The glass plate that can use this connection structure needs to have a certain thickness and structural strength to ensure that it still has structural integrity after the through hole 1 and the countersunk hole 2 are formed.

[0028] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the diameter of the countersunk hole 2 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 1, and the hole wall of the countersunk hole 2 is a tapered or arc-shaped surface that gradually expands from the inside to the outside, while the first connecting piece 3 can be placed in the countersunk hole 2 in a matching manner.

[0030] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the first connector 3 has a countersunk head 301 at its end that matches the shape of the countersunk hole 2. The countersunk head 301 is placed in and glued to the countersunk hole 2.

[0031] Specifically, a single set of the connection structure includes two connection structures symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the glass plate, and multiple sets of the connection structures are formed on the glass plate.

[0032] Secondly, such as Figure 5 As shown, this application proposes a glass cabinet, which includes a plurality of glass panels, each of which is provided with at least one pre-embedded connection structure for the glass as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0033] Specifically, the glass panel on the glass cabinet includes several storage glass panels 6, glass partitions 7, and glass back panels 8, as well as a single upper glass panel 9. Each storage glass panel 6 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged pre-embedded connection structures for the glass as described in any of the first aspects above. Through these pre-embedded connection structures, the glass partitions 7 are fixed to the glass back panels 8, and the upper glass panel 9 is also fixed to the top of the glass partitions 7 through the same structure.

[0034] like Figure 6As shown, it also includes a third connector 10. A first connector 3 passes through the through hole 1 on the glass back plate 8, and the first connector 3 is fixed to one end of the third connector 10. The fixing method includes, but is not limited to, threaded engagement. The other end of the third connector 10 is fixed to two other first connectors 3 set on the glass partition 7. A single glass partition 7 is fixed on the glass back plate 8 by the cooperation of multiple sets of first connectors 3 and third connectors 10. Similarly, the upper glass plate 9 is also fixed to the top of the glass partition 7 by the cooperation of the third connector 10 and the first connector 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the glass partitions 7 are arranged in pairs, and multiple sets of glass partitions 7 are longitudinally fixed at equal intervals on the same side of the glass back plate 8, and the glass partitions 7 are arranged perpendicular to the glass back plate 8. The two outermost sets of glass partitions 7 are located at the two side edges of the glass back plate 8, and the upper glass plate 9 is parallel to the storage glass plate 6. In addition, in order to maintain the stability of the two glass partitions 7 and fill the gap between the glass partitions 7, an intermediate liner is fixedly arranged between the two glass partitions 7.

[0036] like Figure 3-4 As shown, it also includes a second connector 4, which is fixed to the first connector 3 on the glass shelf 6. A middle connecting pin 5 is horizontally inserted on a single set of glass partitions 7. The two ends of the middle connecting pin 5 are respectively fixed to the two second connectors 4 on both sides of the glass partition 7. Multiple glass shelves 6 are horizontally arranged between two adjacent sets of glass partitions 7. Specifically, the center of the first connector 3 and the middle connecting pin 5 is hollow, and the second connector 4 has corresponding holes.

[0037] The fixing of the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 4, and the connection between the intermediate connecting pin 5 and the second connecting member 4, includes but is not limited to fixing methods such as welding and screwing, are provided in the following two embodiments. In one embodiment, the inner wall of the hollow part is provided with threads, and the screw passes through the hole on the second connecting member 4 from below and engages with the threads on the hollow part to achieve fixing, minimizing the volume occupation to ensure aesthetics; in another embodiment, the hole on the second connecting member 4 is a threaded hole, and the outer walls of the first connecting member 3 and the intermediate connecting pin 5 are respectively provided with threads, and the first connecting member 3 and the threaded hole, and the intermediate connecting pin 5 and the threaded hole are all connected by rotation and thread engagement.

[0038] Furthermore, the second connector 4 is L-shaped with a bend. One side of the bend is a right-angle bend 401 that fits the glass shelf 6 and the glass partition 7, while the other side has a rounded edge to better fit the glass and ensure overall harmony and aesthetics.

[0039] During the installation of the glass cabinet in this application, the first connector 3 is first glued and fixed into the through holes 1 and countersunk holes 2 on the glass such as the storage glass panel 6, glass partition 7, glass back panel 8, and upper glass panel 9. Then, the third connector 10 is fixed to the first connector 3 on the glass back panel 8. Next, each set of glass partitions 7 is placed perpendicular to the pre-installation position of the glass back panel 8, and the third connector 10 on the glass back panel 8 is placed in the gap between the two glass partitions 7. Finally, the first connector 3 on the glass partition 7 is fixed to the corresponding third connector 10. The installation of each set of glass partitions 7 is completed in sequence. Similarly, the upper glass panel 9 is installed on the top of the glass partition 7 in the same way.

[0040] To install the corresponding glass shelf 6, firstly, multiple intermediate connecting pins 5 need to be horizontally inserted through each set of glass partitions 7. Then, the second connecting piece 4 is fixed to the first connecting piece 3 on the glass shelf 6. Finally, the second connecting piece 4 is fixed to the corresponding intermediate connecting pin 5. After completing all the corresponding assembly, the glass cabinet assembly is finally completed.
