Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet support structures, specifically an internal support structure for cabinets. Background Technology
[0002] During the manufacturing and use of cabinets, internal support structures are typically installed inside to improve the stability of the cabinet structure and enhance the load-bearing capacity of the internal shelves or cavities. Currently, the most common internal support structures for cabinets on the market are traditional L-shaped metal plates. These metal plates are bolted through and fixed between the cabinet side panels and shelves, relying on their own structural strength to achieve support and reinforcement functions. However, traditional L-shaped metal sheets are relatively heavy in practical applications, which not only increases the assembly burden of the cabinet, but also the edges and corners of the metal sheets are mostly right angles, which can easily scratch the cabinet panels or operators during assembly and use. At the same time, the bolts at the contact points between the metal sheets and the cabinet and shelves are prone to loosening during long-term use, which can lead to displacement and slippage of the support structure and affect the stability of the support. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an internal support structure for cabinets to solve the technical problems of traditional L-shaped metal sheet support structures, which have large overall weight, heavy assembly burden, easy scratching of cabinet panels or operators by the edges and corners, easy loosening of bolts, easy displacement and sliding of the support structure, and insufficient stability during long-term use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an internal support structure for a cabinet, comprising a support structure, the support structure comprising a main body, the main body having a hollowed-out groove on its inner side, and a plurality of oblique hollowed-out ribs being provided in the hollowed-out groove, a plurality of screw holes being provided between the hollowed-out ribs, and abutment grooves for bolt heads to abut in the screw holes. Two protective sheets are adhered to both sides of the main structure, and the surface of the protective sheets is arc-shaped.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, and integrating hollow grooves, hollow ribs, abutment grooves and protective plates, the hollow design achieves structural lightweighting, while the hollow ribs ensure support strength; the abutment grooves can hide bolt heads, and the curved surface of the protective plates reduces scratches, thus taking into account practicality, safety and protection effect, and meeting the core needs of cabinet internal support.
[0006] Furthermore, the protective sheet is made of rubber and is fixedly connected to the main structure with adhesive.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rubber protective sheet has good flexibility, which can buffer the force when in contact and avoid scratching the cabinet panels or people; the glue fixing method ensures that the protective sheet is firmly connected to the main structure and is not easy to fall off. It can maintain a stable protective effect even after long-term use, thus improving the practicality and durability of the structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the main structure is provided with an anti-slip sheet, and the anti-slip sheet is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip pad acts directly on the contact surface, and the anti-slip texture on its surface can significantly increase the frictional resistance, effectively suppress the displacement and sliding of the support structure, and improve the stability of the support; at the same time, it avoids the main body of the structure from directly contacting the board, reducing wear and ensuring the service condition of the cabinet and the support structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the main body of the structure is arranged in an "L" shape, and both ends of the main body of the structure are provided with arc-shaped edges.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the main body of the L-shaped structure can accurately adapt to the connection and support scenarios of the internal side panels and shelves of the cabinet, and fit the installation surface to ensure the support effect; the curved edges eliminate the sharp dangers of right angles, avoid scratches during assembly and use, and improve the safety and adaptability of the structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the hollow ribs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove, and the hollow ribs are distributed in an alternating manner.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the hollow ribs are fixed to the inner wall of the hollow groove, ensuring a firm connection and structural integrity; a stable force network is formed by the staggered distribution, which can evenly transmit the load. On the basis of achieving weight reduction and material saving, the structural support strength and load-bearing capacity are further strengthened.
[0014] Furthermore, the abutment groove and the screw hole are coaxially arranged, the groove wall of the abutment groove has a smooth transition structure, and the abutment groove is connected to the screw hole.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the coaxial setting of the abutment groove and the screw hole ensures smooth bolt installation, and the smooth groove wall avoids bolt head wear; the design of the two being connected can completely accommodate the bolt head, preventing it from being exposed and scratching objects or people, while maintaining a flat surface of the structure, improving aesthetics and safety in use.
[0016] Furthermore, the outline of the hollowed-out groove is adapted to the inner outline of the main body of the structure, and the hollowed-out groove extends through the thickness direction of the main body of the structure.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the hollowed-out groove contour is adapted to the inner side of the main structure, maximizing the preservation of structural rigidity and avoiding local strength deficiencies; the design that runs through the thickness direction further optimizes the weight reduction effect, reduces material usage, reduces assembly burden, and balances lightweight and practicality.
[0018] Furthermore, the anti-slip sheet is fully fitted to the bottom of the main structure, the edge of the anti-slip sheet is flush with the bottom edge of the main structure, and the anti-slip sheet is fixedly connected to the main structure.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip sheet fully fits the bottom of the main structure, increasing the contact area and improving connection stability; the flush edges ensure installation compatibility, and the fixed connection method ensures that the anti-slip sheet is not easy to fall off, continuously playing its anti-slip role, and strengthening support stability and service life.
[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model features a hollowed-out groove, staggered hollowed-out ribs, and an abutment groove coaxially connected to the screw holes. The hollowed-out groove's outline is adapted to the inner side of the main structure and extends through the thickness direction. The two ends of the hollowed-out ribs are fixed to the inner wall of the hollowed-out groove. This design significantly reduces material usage and overall weight while ensuring support strength, solving the problems of heavy weight, heavy assembly burden, and material waste associated with traditional L-shaped solid metal sheet structures. The abutment groove wall has a smooth transition and can fully accommodate the bolt head, preventing the bolt head from being exposed and scratching items or operators inside the cabinet, further improving safety and the aesthetics of the cabinet's interior. 2. This utility model, by setting arc-shaped edges, rubber protective sheets, and anti-slip sheets with anti-slip textures, eliminates the hidden dangers of sharp right angles at both ends of the main structure. The arc-shaped surface of the protective sheet makes flexible contact with the cabinet board, avoiding scratches to the board or personnel during assembly and use. The anti-slip sheet fully fits the bottom of the main structure and has flush edges. Its surface anti-slip texture enhances the friction with the contact surface, solving the problems of easy scratching of edges and corners, easy sliding displacement of contact parts, insufficient support stability, and wear and tear of the board due to long-term use in traditional support structures, thus extending the service life of the cabinet.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] Example 1: An internal support structure for a cabinet, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support structure 1, which includes a main body 101. A hollow groove 106 is provided on the inner side of the main body 101, and a plurality of oblique hollow ribs 102 are provided in the hollow groove 106. A plurality of screw holes 103 are provided between the hollow ribs 102, and abutment grooves 104 for bolt heads to abut in the screw holes 103. Two protective plates 2 are bonded to both sides of the main structural body 101, and the surface of the protective plates 2 is an arc-shaped surface 201. The inner side of the main structural body 101 of the support structure 1 has a hollow groove 106. The hollow ribs 102 in the groove reduce the amount of material used and the overall weight, while providing reliable support strength for the main structural body 101. The abutment groove 104 in the screw hole 103 can accommodate the bolt head and prevent it from being exposed and scratched. The arc-shaped surface 201 of the protective plates 2 on both sides of the main structural body 101 can reduce hard contact with the cabinet. The overall structure integrates the advantages of lightweight, strong support and scratch resistance, and is fully adaptable to the use scenarios of internal cabinet support.
[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The protective plate 2 is made of rubber and is fixedly connected to the main structure 101 with adhesive. The rubber material of the protective plate 2 has excellent flexibility and cushioning performance. When in contact with the cabinet board, it can avoid wear caused by hard friction and prevent sharp contact from scratching the operator. The fixed connection with the main structure 101 with adhesive is simple and reliable. It can make the protective plate 2 fit tightly to the main structure 101. It is not easy to fall off or shift during long-term use, and it can continue to play a protective role, extending the service life of the supporting structure and the cabinet.
[0026] Example 2: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The bottom of the main structure 101 is provided with an anti-slip plate 3, and the anti-slip plate 3 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip plate 3 at the bottom of the main structure 101 is in close contact with the contact surface. The anti-slip texture on its surface can increase the friction coefficient between the contact surfaces, effectively preventing the support structure from sliding or displacing during stress or long-term use, and greatly improving the stability and reliability of the support. At the same time, the anti-slip plate 3 can isolate the main structure 101 from the cabinet board, avoid wear caused by direct hard contact between the two, protect the integrity of the cabinet board, and extend the service life of the overall structure.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The main structure 101 is L-shaped, with curved edges 105 at both ends. The L-shaped design of the main structure 101 perfectly matches the corner support requirements between the internal side panels and shelves of the cabinet, ensuring a tight fit between the two contact surfaces during installation and effectively transmitting the support force. The curved edges 105 at both ends replace the traditional right-angle structure, completely eliminating the risk of scratches caused by sharp edges. Whether during assembly or daily use, it can prevent scratches on the cabinet panels or operators, significantly improving the safety and adaptability of the structure.
[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The two ends of the hollow ribs 102 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove 106, and the hollow ribs 102 are distributed in an interlaced manner. The connection method is stable and not easy to loosen or fall off, ensuring the overall integrity of the hollow structure. At the same time, the interlaced distribution of the hollow ribs 102 forms a three-dimensional and stable force transmission network, which can evenly distribute the load during the support process to all parts of the main structure 101. Under the premise of achieving lightweight and material saving in the hollow groove 106, the support strength and load-bearing stability of the main structure 101 are further improved, and deformation caused by excessive local stress is avoided.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The abutment groove 104 and the screw hole 103 are coaxially arranged. The groove wall of the abutment groove 104 has a smooth transition structure and is connected to the screw hole 103. The coaxial arrangement of the abutment groove 104 and the screw hole 103 ensures that the bolt can be accurately aligned during installation, avoiding misalignment or jamming and improving assembly convenience. The smooth transition structure of the groove wall of the abutment groove 104 can avoid wear on the bolt head and extend the service life of the bolt. The connection between the abutment groove 104 and the screw hole 103 can completely accommodate the bolt head, preventing the bolt head from scratching the items placed in the cabinet or the operators after it is exposed. At the same time, it keeps the surface of the main body 101 flat, improving the aesthetics and safety of the cabinet interior.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The outline of the hollow groove 106 is adapted to the inner outline of the main structure 101, and the hollow groove 106 runs through the thickness direction of the main structure 101. The outline of the hollow groove 106 is adapted to the inner outline of the main structure 101, which can maximize the hollow area to achieve weight reduction while preserving the overall rigidity of the main structure 101 to the greatest extent and avoid weakness due to local hollowing. Moreover, the hollow groove 106 runs through the thickness direction of the main structure 101, which further improves the weight reduction effect and material utilization rate, reduces the overall weight of the structure, reduces the handling and installation burden during cabinet assembly, and does not affect the supporting function of the hollow rib 102, achieving a perfect balance between lightweight and practical support.
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The anti-slip plate 3 is fully fitted to the bottom of the main body 101, with its edge flush with the bottom edge of the main body 101. The anti-slip plate 3 is fixedly connected to the main body 101, significantly increasing the contact area and allowing for even load transfer under stress, thus improving connection stability. The flush edge of the anti-slip plate 3 prevents protrusions or depressions during installation, ensuring compatibility with the contact surface. This fixed connection method allows the anti-slip plate 3 to remain firmly attached to the main body 101 for a long time, preventing detachment or displacement, ensuring the anti-slip texture continues to increase friction, strengthening the stability of the supporting structure, and extending the overall service life.
[0032] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the "L"-shaped main body 101 is positioned inside the cabinet at the location that needs to be supported and reinforced. Bolts are inserted through the screw holes 103 on the main body 101 to make the main body 101 and the cabinet side panel and shelf firmly connected. The abutment groove 104 in the screw hole 103 is coaxially connected with the screw hole 103 and the groove wall is smoothly transitioned, which can completely accommodate the bolt head and avoid the bolt head being exposed and causing scratches. Secondly, the outline of the hollow groove 106 on the inner side of the main body 101 is adapted to the inner side of the main body 101 and runs through its thickness direction. The two ends of the hollow ribs 102 distributed in the groove are fixed to the inner wall of the hollow groove 106. While reducing the amount of material used and the overall weight, the cross structure ensures the support strength of the main body 101, taking into account both lightweight and load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the rubber protective sheets 2 fixed to both sides of the main structure 101 with glue have their curved surfaces 201 in flexible contact with the cabinet panels. Together with the curved edges 105 at both ends of the main structure 101, they eliminate the risk of scratches caused by sharp right angles and protect the cabinet panels and operators.
[0033] Finally, the anti-slip sheet 3, which is fully fitted to the bottom of the main structure 101 and has flush edges, increases the friction with the contact surface through its anti-slip texture, effectively suppressing displacement and sliding of the support structure during long-term use, further improving the stability of the support, and at the same time preventing the main structure 101 from directly contacting the plate and causing wear.
