Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of furniture manufacturing technology, and in particular to a wardrobe with folding doors. Background Technology

[0002] Wardrobes, as indispensable storage furniture in home life, have evolved in design to meet the diverse and personalized needs of living spaces. In modern home environments, people's demand for storage functions is increasing, and wardrobes not only need to have sufficient storage capacity but also need to adapt to different spatial layouts and aesthetic requirements. Whether in homes, hotels, or apartments, suitable wardrobes are indispensable to meet the daily storage needs of clothing and belongings.

[0003] In related technologies, traditional wardrobes mostly use hinged or sliding door designs. Hinged doors open by rotating the door panel outwards, allowing the interior space to be fully open for easy access to items. Sliding doors, on the other hand, have tracks on the top and bottom sides of the wardrobe, with the door panel sliding left and right along the tracks. This does not occupy space in front of the wardrobe and can be moved directly within the wardrobe's surface.

[0004] In practical use, it has been found that hinged doors require a relatively large opening space. In environments with limited space, opening them may be restricted by surrounding furniture or walls, preventing them from opening fully and making them less convenient to use. While sliding doors save space, the door panels are usually double or multiple, and gaps inevitably exist between the panels, allowing dust to easily enter the wardrobe and resulting in poor sealing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the convenience and airtightness of wardrobes, this application provides a wardrobe with folding doors, which improves both convenience and airtightness.

[0006] The wardrobe with folding doors provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A wardrobe with a folding door includes a cabinet body, on which a folding door is provided. The folding door includes a rotating door and a sliding door, which are rotatably connected. The side of the rotating door away from the sliding door is rotatably connected to the cabinet body. A sliding assembly is provided on the top of the cabinet body. The sliding assembly includes a connecting rod and a guide rail. The guide rail is provided on the top of the cabinet body along the length of the cabinet body. One end of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding door on the side away from the rotating door.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when opening the wardrobe, pulling outwards to bring the rotating and sliding doors closer together causes the sliding door to move its connecting rod along the guide rail to the end closest to the rotating door. This allows the sliding and rotating doors to close together and fold together. Then, the sliding door rotates synchronously with the rotating door around the rotation axis of both the rotating door and the cabinet until they are parallel to the cabinet. This achieves the sliding and rotating doors folding towards the side of the cabinet, reducing spatial conflicts with other furniture, saving space, and improving the convenience of using the wardrobe. When closing the wardrobe, pushing inwards to push the rotating and sliding doors causes the connecting rod to slide along the guide rail to the end furthest from the rotating door until the rotating and sliding doors are flush with the horizontal surface of the wardrobe. Compared to the multiple door panels of a sliding door fitting flush with the cabinet, this effectively reduces the gap between the door panels and the cabinet, preventing dust from entering the wardrobe and improving its airtightness.

[0008] Optionally, the guide rail includes a horizontal rail and multiple curved and straight rails, the horizontal rail is located between the multiple curved and straight rails, the horizontal rail is parallel to the length direction of the cabinet, and both ends of the horizontal rail are connected to the curved and straight rails respectively.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal track provides stable guidance for the linear sliding of the sliding door, allowing it to move smoothly laterally along the cabinet during opening or closing. The curved track guides the sliding door to complete the angle transition at its extreme closing or opening positions. When the sliding door retracts towards the side of the cabinet, the second link smoothly transitions from the horizontal track to the curved track, allowing the sliding door to naturally turn to the side of the cabinet along with the second link, reducing jamming caused by sudden changes in trajectory and improving the smoothness of the sliding door's folding.

[0010] Optionally, the top of the cabinet is provided with multiple guide boxes, and multiple curved and straight tracks are respectively provided on the guide boxes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, the horizontal track is first installed on the top of the cabinet, then the guide box is positioned and fixed on the top of the cabinet, and then the curved and straight tracks are fixed in the guide box. The limiting effect of the guide box helps to calibrate the curved and straight tracks, reduces the problem of guide rail tilting and offset caused by direct installation of curved and straight tracks, and improves the smoothness of sliding door folding.

[0012] Optionally, a dust cover is provided on the top of the cabinet, and the two ends of the dust cover are respectively connected to the guide box. The dust cover is located on the top of the guide rail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the dust cover can provide shielding protection for the guide rail, reduce the amount of dust and other foreign objects falling into the sliding gap between the guide rail and the connecting rod, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting rod includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, which are rotatably connected. The first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding door, and the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod is connected to a sliding block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sliding door opens or closes with the rotating door, the second link adapts to the changes and range of the sliding door's folding angle through its own rotation, allowing the sliding door to smoothly follow the rotation trajectory of the rotating door during sliding. The first link and the second link form a double-link structure. When the sliding door closes, the double-link structure folds its own angle, allowing the sliding door to be closer to the side of the cabinet, reducing the space occupied by the door. During the opening of the sliding door, the angle adjustment allows the sliding door to drive the rotating door to fit tightly against the cabinet, improving the sealing performance when closed.

[0016] Optionally, the second link is located on top of the first link, and the height of the second link is adapted to the height of the guide rail.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide box, as the mounting carrier of the guide rail, has a certain thickness. The guide rail is installed on the guide box, and the sliding surface of the guide rail is higher than the reference surface of the top of the cabinet. The first connecting rod is located at the top of the cabinet. Therefore, there is a height difference between the first connecting rod and the guide rail. The second connecting rod can make up for this height difference, thereby reducing the oblique force caused by the height mismatch and extending the service life of the first guide rail or slide rail.

[0018] Optionally, a sealing strip is provided on the inner edge of the cabinet. When the sliding door and the rotating door are closed, the sealing strip is pressed into contact with the surface of the rotating door or the sliding door.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating or sliding door closes the cabinet, the sealing strip undergoes elastic deformation under pressure, filling the gap between the rotating or sliding door and the edge of the cabinet, forming a sealing barrier and further improving the wardrobe's airtightness. When the sliding or rotating door closes to fit snugly against the cabinet, the sealing strip plays a gentle buffering role during the cabinet's closing process, reducing wear and tear between the rotating or sliding door and the cabinet edge.

[0020] Optionally, a concealed handle is provided on the exterior of the side of the sliding door that is close to the revolving door.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the door can be opened and closed conveniently by touching the groove of the invisible handle.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When opening, pull the rotating door and sliding door outwards to the side where they are close to each other. The sliding door moves the connecting rod along the guide rail to the end of the guide rail closest to the rotating door, causing the sliding door and rotating door to come together and fold together. Then, the sliding door rotates synchronously with the rotating door around the rotation axis of the rotating door and the cabinet until the sliding door and rotating door are parallel to the cabinet. This achieves the sliding door and rotating door folding towards the side of the cabinet, reducing space conflicts with other furniture, saving space, and making it suitable for small apartments or narrow areas. When closing, push the rotating door and sliding door inwards. The connecting rod slides along the guide rail to the end away from the rotating door until the rotating door and sliding door are flush with the horizontal surface of the wardrobe. Compared with the multiple door panels of a sliding door that are flush with the cabinet, this effectively reduces the gap between the door panel and the cabinet, preventing dust from entering the wardrobe and improving the airtightness. 2. The horizontal track provides stable guidance for the straight sliding of the sliding door, allowing the sliding door to move smoothly along the side of the cabinet during opening or closing. The curved track can guide the sliding door to complete the angle transition at the extreme position of closing or opening. When the sliding door closes to the side of the cabinet, the second link can smoothly transition from the horizontal track to the curved track, allowing the sliding door to naturally turn to the side of the cabinet with the second link, reducing jamming caused by sudden changes in trajectory and improving the smoothness of the sliding door folding. 3. During installation, first install the horizontal track on the top of the cabinet, then position and fix the guide box on the top of the cabinet, and then fix the curved and straight tracks in the guide box. The limiting effect of the guide box helps to calibrate the curved and straight tracks, reducing the problem of tilting and offset of the guide rails due to direct installation of curved and straight tracks, and improving the smoothness of sliding door folding.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a wardrobe with folding doors, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 The system includes a cabinet body 1. A folding door 2 is located at the front opening of the cabinet body 1. The folding door 2 consists of a rotating door 21 and a sliding door 22. The side edges of the rotating door 21 and the sliding door 22 that are close to each other are hinged together. The side of the rotating door 21 away from the sliding door 22 is hinged to the side edge of the cabinet body 1. The tops of the rotating door 21 and the folding door 2 are flush with the top of the cabinet body 1. A sliding assembly 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet body 1. The sliding assembly 3 consists of a guide rail 32 and a connecting rod 31. The guide rail 32 is laid along the length of the cabinet body 1 on the top of the cabinet body 1. One end of the connecting rod 31 is hinged to the top of the sliding door 22 on the side away from the rotating door 21, and the other end is slidably engaged with the guide rail 32.

[0027] During the opening process, the rotating door 21 is pulled outward, while the sliding door 22 drives the connecting rod 31 to slide within the guide rail 32, causing the sliding door 22 and the rotating door 21 to fold and gradually move closer together until the rotating door 21 and the sliding door 22 are flush with the edge of the cabinet 1, effectively saving space and improving the convenience of using the wardrobe; when closing the door, the rotating door 21 or the folding door 2 is pushed until both gradually unfold and cover the opening of the cabinet 1, so that the rotating door 21, the folding door 2 and the cabinet 1 are on the same horizontal plane, effectively improving the sealing of the cabinet 1.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The guide rail 32 consists of a horizontal rail 321 and multiple curved and straight rails 322. In this embodiment, there are two curved and straight rails 322, which are arc-shaped. The horizontal rail 321 is located in the middle of the top of the cabinet 1, parallel to the length of the cabinet 1. The two curved and straight rails 322 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the horizontal rail 321, and both ends of the horizontal rail 321 are connected to the two curved and straight rails 322 respectively. The curved and straight rails 322 extend towards the side of the cabinet 1 away from the rotating door 21 and the sliding door 22. During opening or closing, the connecting rod 31 slides linearly along the horizontal guide rail 32, which is beneficial to the stability of the folding and moving of the sliding door 22. The curved and straight guide rails 32 can adjust the distance between the sliding door 22 and the cabinet 1, so that the sliding door 22 and the rotating door 21 can be folded into one piece, minimizing the space occupied at the front end of the cabinet 1.

[0029] Reference Figure 1Multiple guide boxes 5 are bolted to the top of the cabinet 1 at the position corresponding to the curved and straight guide rail 32. There are two guide boxes 5. The guide box 5 consists of an upper plate 51 and a bottom plate 52. The upper plate 51 is located on top of the bottom plate 52, and the bottom plate 52 is bolted to the cabinet 1. The curved and straight guide rail 32 is located between the upper plate 51 and the bottom plate 52 and is fixed to the bottom plate 52. The upper plate 51 can shield the curved and straight guide rail 32, reducing dust accumulation on the curved and straight guide rail 322 and affecting the sliding of the connecting rod 31 and the curved and straight guide rail 322. In addition, the side of the upper plate 51 near the end of the curved and straight guide rail 322 extends to the end edge of the curved and straight guide rail 322 to form a stop structure, reducing the sliding block from slipping off the curved and straight guide rail 322. The curved and straight guide rail 322 and the horizontal guide rail 321 are detachably fixed to the cabinet 1 through the guide box 5, which facilitates the replacement and disassembly of the curved and straight guide rail 322 and the horizontal guide rail 321, reducing maintenance costs.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A dust cover 6 is also fixed to the top of the cabinet 1. Both ends of the dust cover 6 are fixedly connected to the upper plate 51. The dust cover 6 is located on top of the horizontal guide rail 32, covering the groove of the horizontal guide rail 32 and not interfering with the sliding of the connecting rod 31 on the horizontal guide rail 32. The dust cover 6 helps reduce dust and other foreign objects from entering the horizontal guide rail 32, reducing the likelihood of the connecting rod 31 getting stuck while sliding within the horizontal guide rail 32, and lowering maintenance costs.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The connecting rod 31 includes a first connecting rod 311 and a second connecting rod 312, which are hinged to each other. The end of the first connecting rod 311 away from the second connecting rod 312 is hinged to the top side of the sliding door 22 away from the rotating door 21. The end of the second connecting rod 312 away from the first connecting rod 311 has an integrally formed sliding block, which forms a sliding engagement with the horizontal guide rail 32 or the curved / straight guide rail 32, and will not disengage from the horizontal guide rail 32 or the curved / straight guide rail 32. The first connecting rod 311 and the second connecting rod 312 cooperate to provide multi-directional angle adjustment capability, which can adapt to the state deviation caused by the transition of the curved / straight guide rail 32 to the horizontal guide rail 32 when the folding angle changes during the sliding process of the sliding door 22, thereby improving the flexibility of the sliding door 22's movement.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 A sealing strip 7 is affixed to the inner edge of the cabinet body 1, that is, the edge where the sliding door 22 and the rotating door 21 contact the cabinet body 1. The sealing strip 7 is made of elastic rubber. When the sliding door 22 and the rotating door 21 close the cabinet body 1, the side surface of the door will form a pressing contact with the sealing strip 7, and the sealing strip 7 will fill the gap between the door and the cabinet body 1 through elastic deformation, which helps to improve the sealing performance of the wardrobe.

[0033] Reference Figure 4The height of the second link 312 is greater than that of the first link 311, which can compensate for the height difference between the first link 311 and the horizontal track 321 or the curved track 322, thereby reducing the wear caused by the sliding block sliding on the horizontal track 321 or the curved track 322, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the first link 311, the sliding block and the horizontal track 321 or the curved track 322.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 An invisible handle 8 is integrally formed on the outside of the side where the sliding door 22 and the rotating door 21 are close to each other. Its surface is flush with the door body, making it easy for users to hold and push the rotating door 21 and the sliding door 22 to open and close. It also reduces the protrusion of traditional external handles on the door body surface and improves the overall aesthetics of the wardrobe.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 A support plate 9 is bolted to the top of the sliding door 22 on the side away from the rotating door 21. The top of the support plate 9 is hinged to the end of the first connecting rod 311 away from the second connecting rod 312. The first connecting rod 311 is detachably connected to the sliding door 22 via the support plate 9, which facilitates adjustment and replacement and reduces maintenance costs.

[0036] The implementation principle of a wardrobe with folding doors disclosed in this application embodiment is as follows: When the wardrobe needs to be opened, the user holds the concealed handle 8 and pulls the rotating door 21 or sliding door 22 outward. The rotating door 21 first rotates outward around the side of the cabinet 1, while simultaneously driving the sliding door 22 to move synchronously. Under the action of the pulling force, the sliding door 22 moves to one side of the cabinet 1 along the horizontal guide rail 32 via the sliding block at the top of the cabinet 1. As the wardrobe gradually opens, the sliding block bends the guide rail 32 and slides to the side of the cabinet 1 along its arc path. At this time, the rotating door 21 and the sliding door 22 rotate relative to each other due to the pulling force and gradually fold and come together. Finally, the folded rotating door 21 and sliding door 22 fit against the outside of the side of the cabinet 1, effectively reducing the space occupied in front of the cabinet 1 when opening the door, which is suitable for small apartments and improves the convenience of using the wardrobe.

[0037] When the wardrobe needs to be closed, push the concealed handle 8 in the opposite direction. The sliding door 22 slides along the curved guide rail 32 towards the horizontal guide rail 32 under the action of the push. The rotating door 21 rotates inward around the side of the cabinet 1. The two gradually rotate open until they fit against the horizontal surface of the cabinet 1, which effectively reduces the gap between the door and the cabinet 1 and improves the sealing performance.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
