Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and specifically to a snap-fit door panel. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel cabinets, bathroom vanities, and balcony cabinets are popular due to their strong waterproof, mildew-proof, and deformation-resistant properties. However, current technology often uses hollow door panels, where the front and back panels are joined together, to reduce weight. Reinforcing ribs are typically attached with glue, which is convenient but increases environmental pollution. Alternatively, laser welding or argon arc welding can be used to fix the ribs to the front or back panels, or riveting can be used. These methods leave weld seams on the door panel surface, and riveting leaves joints. Furthermore, the front and back panels may deform, requiring grinding and painting to cover the seams, increasing processing time and chemical pollution. These methods also fail to produce a beautiful stainless steel surface. Therefore, there is a need to develop a stainless steel door panel that can conceal weld seams. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a snap-fit door panel to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option or creates conditions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A snap-fit door panel includes a front panel and a back panel fixedly connected to the front panel.

The back of the back panel is provided with a second reinforcing region that matches the first reinforcing regions, and a second reinforcing rib that matches the first reinforcing ribs is welded to the second reinforcing regions. The first reinforcing ribs are provided with a plurality of first snap-fit pieces, and the second reinforcing ribs are provided with second snap-fit pieces that snap onto the first snap-fit pieces. The first and second reinforcing ribs are sandwiched between the front panel and the back panel.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0015] Example: Refer to Figure 1-6This utility model describes a snap-fit door panel, generally used for door panels of stainless steel cabinets, bathroom vanities, and balcony cabinets. To reduce the environmental pollution caused by adhesives, both the front panel 1 and the back panel 2 are generally made of metal plates, preferably stainless steel plates. The advantage is that it can achieve a beautiful appearance without painting, reducing the environmental pollution caused by paint. To reduce the weight of the door panel, it is generally a hollow structure. To improve its strength, reinforcing ribs are provided between the front panel 1 and the back panel 2. In this embodiment, the door panel includes a front panel 1 and a back panel 2 fixedly connected to the front panel 1. The back of the front panel 1 has several first reinforcing areas, and several first reinforcing ribs 3 are welded to the first reinforcing areas. The back of the back panel 2 has second reinforcing areas that cooperate with the first reinforcing areas. The first reinforcing areas can be integrally formed with the back of the front panel, and the second reinforcing areas can be integrally formed with the back of the back panel. The second reinforcing areas are welded with second reinforcing ribs 4 that cooperate with the first reinforcing ribs 3. Panel 1 and back panel 2 are processed separately and connected with reinforcing ribs respectively. When panel 1 and back panel 2 are assembled into a door panel, the first and second reinforcing areas fit together closely. The first reinforcing rib 3 is provided with several first snap-fit pieces 31, and the second reinforcing rib 4 is provided with second snap-fit pieces 41 that snap onto the first snap-fit pieces 31. When panel 1 and back panel 2 are assembled, the first snap-fit pieces and the second snap-fit pieces snap onto each other, making the connection between panel 1 and back panel 2 tight. The first and second reinforcing ribs are sandwiched between the panel and back panel, enhancing the door panel's resistance to compression and shear. Usually, the first and second reinforcing ribs are made of metal, with stainless steel being preferred. The first and second reinforcing ribs are welded to the back of panel 1 and back panel 2. No weld seams or riveting points are visible on the outer surface of the door panel, eliminating the need for grinding and painting. The surface is flat and beautiful, and the reinforcing ribs are welded to panel 1 and back panel 2, reducing chemical pollution such as glue.
[0016] Specifically, the first snap-fit element 31 is an opening 5 / snap piece 6 located on the side of the reinforcing rib, and the second snap-fit element 41 is a snap piece 6 / opening 5 located on the side of the second reinforcing rib 4 facing the first snap-fit element 31. In short, on the adjacent side of the first reinforcing rib 3 and the second reinforcing rib 4, if the first reinforcing rib 3 has an opening 5, then the second reinforcing rib 4 has a corresponding snap piece 6, and vice versa. Before installation, the snap piece 6 is flatly located on the side of the reinforcing rib. When the panel 1 and the back plate 2 are combined, the first snap piece 6 is lifted and aligned with the opening 5, and then the second snap piece is lifted and aligned with the corresponding opening 5. The panel 1 and the back plate 2 are pushed relative to each other so that the snap piece 6 snaps into the opening 5, thus completing the connection. In the preferred embodiment, there are several first snap-fit elements 31, evenly distributed on the side of the first reinforcing rib 3, and the second snap-fit elements 41 corresponding to the first snap-fit elements 31 are located on the second reinforcing rib 4.
[0017] Specifically, the first and second reinforcing ribs are both reinforcing ribs with a Z-shaped cross section, and connecting feet on both sides are provided to the panel 1 / back panel 2. Usually, the connecting feet on both sides are spot welded or fully welded to the back of the panel 1 and back panel 2, and the protrusion in the middle abuts against the back panel 2 / panel 1, thereby improving the compressive strength of the middle part of the panel 1 and back panel 2.
[0018] Specifically, the first and second reinforcing areas are areas arranged horizontally and vertically parallel to the side of the door panel. One or more sets of first reinforcing ribs 3 and second reinforcing ribs 4 can be set in the first and second reinforcing areas. The number of the first and second reinforcing areas and the number of first and second reinforcing ribs can be determined according to the size of the door panel to ensure the strength of the door panel.
[0019] Specifically, the panel 1 has a first connecting edge 11 extending from the side to the back on both the top and bottom or left and right sides, and the back panel 2 has a second connecting edge 21 extending from the side to the back on both the left and right or top and bottom sides. When the panel 1 and the back panel 2 are combined, the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21 are staggered. The width of the first connecting edge and the second connecting edge is the same, generally the thickness of the door panel. The first connecting edge 11 is welded to the edge of the back panel 2, and the second connecting edge 21 is welded to the edge of the panel 1.
[0020] In the preferred embodiment, the first connecting edge 11 includes two first short edges 12 and one first long edge 13, and the second connecting edge 21 includes two second short edges 22 and one second long edge 23. The first long edge 13 is welded to the edge of the back panel 2, and the second long edge 23 is connected to the edge of the panel 1. Adjacent first short edges 12 and second short edges 22 are welded together, so that the connection between the panel 1 and the back panel 2 is welded together to prevent water or debris from entering the door panel.
