Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom products technology, and in particular to a retractable bathroom mirror. Background Technology

[0002] In modern family bathrooms, bathroom mirrors are an indispensable functional facility, usually installed on the wall above the sink. They are mainly used for daily grooming, washing, applying makeup, and shaving. To meet storage needs, existing bathroom mirrors are often designed as mirror cabinets, that is, storage cabinets are set behind the mirror to store various toiletries.

[0003] However, in actual use, since washbasins are usually quite wide and installed below mirror cabinets, there is an unavoidable physical distance between the user's standing position and the wall-mounted mirror cabinet. When users perform operations that require detailed observation of facial details, such as applying eyeliner, shaping eyebrows, or shaving, they often need to lean forward significantly over the washbasin to see the reflection clearly. This is not only strenuous and uncomfortable, but also makes it difficult for elderly people with poor eyesight or nearsighted people to achieve the ideal mirror distance even when leaning forward. In addition, the internal space of traditional mirror cabinets is relatively rigid and lacks hidden storage design for private items or infrequently used clutter, often resulting in a cluttered countertop and affecting the overall aesthetics of the bathroom.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a retractable bathroom mirror to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In the existing technology, ordinary bathroom mirrors are usually installed above the washbasin, which makes it impossible for users to observe details up close when looking in the mirror because the width of the washbasin obstructs their view. In addition, traditional mirror cabinets have fixed storage space divisions and lack privacy and hidden storage functions, resulting in poor user experience, low space utilization, and large drawers that are prone to shaking and jamming when pulled out. This utility model aims to provide a retractable bathroom mirror with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model provides a retractable bathroom mirror, comprising: a housing, a mirror fixedly connected to the rear of the housing, and a cabinet door and a mirror door disposed at the rear of the housing for closing or opening; and a sliding assembly disposed inside the housing for expanding storage space, the sliding assembly specifically including a hidden cabinet, bearings, gears, toothed plates, handles, sliding grooves, and slide bars.

[0007] The sliding assembly has a precisely matched gear and rack transmission guide structure and a slide rail guide structure. The hidden cabinet serves as a moving carrier, and the toothed plate and the slide rail are respectively disposed on its side wall to achieve stable reciprocating motion.

[0008] Furthermore, the cabinet body, the cabinet door, and the mirror door are combined by multiple sets of hinges in different positions to form a double-layer folding connection; the bearing is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet body, and the gear is rotatably connected to the bearing, which meshes with the toothed plate fixed on the hidden cabinet; at the same time, the sliding groove is opened on the inside of the cabinet body, and the slide bar is slidably engaged in the sliding groove, and the movement trajectory of the hidden cabinet is constrained by the meshing transmission of the gear and rack and the sliding guidance of the slide bar and the sliding groove.

[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the box is connected to evenly distributed fixing blocks, and the top of the fixing blocks is fixedly connected to a partition. Through the multi-level distribution of the fixing blocks in the vertical direction, multiple selectable installation heights are provided for the partition, so that the partition can be flexibly placed on the fixing blocks at different heights. The position of the partition is adjustable according to the distribution of the fixing blocks, realizing the free division of the internal storage space of the box to accommodate the storage of toiletries of different heights.

[0010] Preferably, the cabinet door is rotatably connected to the cabinet body via the hinges, and the mirror door is connected to the cabinet door via another set of the hinges, forming a double-hinged structure. This cascaded rotatable connection method allows the mirror door to not only rotate with the cabinet door, but also to rotate independently relative to the cabinet door, thereby extending to a position to avoid obstacles below.

[0011] Preferably, the mirror door can rotate a specific angle along the hinge, and after folding, the mirror door remains parallel to the mirror at the rear of the box, which ensures both a neat and uniform appearance when stored and provides the best frontal mirror view when unfolded for use.

[0012] Preferably, when the handle is pulled, the gear rotates along the bearing and drives the hidden cabinet to slide in the sliding groove along with the slide bar through meshing with the toothed plate. This structure utilizes the damping sensation of gear rotation and the stability of meshing to effectively prevent the hidden cabinet from swaying left and right during the pulling process.

[0013] Preferably, the sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the cabinet, and the slide bar is slidably adapted to the sliding groove. The sliding groove is preferably a C-shaped groove structure, and the slide bar is preferably a T-shaped structure. The shape adaptation restricts the vertical displacement of the hidden cabinet.

[0014] Preferably, when not in use, the handle can be pushed in the opposite direction to retract the hidden cabinet into the box. The handle is designed at the bottom of the hidden cabinet and does not occupy external space when retracted, maintaining the simplicity of the overall appearance.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model solves the problem in the prior art where the width of the washbasin limits the user's ability to use the mirror for grooming. By setting a double-layer hinged structure for the cabinet door and mirror door, that is, by using two sets of hinges to connect the cabinet body and the cabinet door, and the cabinet door and the mirror door respectively, the mirror door can be rotated and extended to a position that avoids being blocked by the washbasin. This allows the user to easily perform close-range facial care, makeup or shaving, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0017] 2. This utility model solves the problems of traditional drawer-style storage, such as jamming, shaking, and lack of private storage space, by setting a meshing transmission mechanism composed of gears, toothed plates, and bearings between the hidden cabinet and the cabinet body, in conjunction with a guide structure of slide bars and sliding grooves. It achieves the technical effect of ensuring the smoothness and synchronicity of the hidden cabinet's entry and exit process by using the meshing transmission of gears and racks, preventing lateral deflection. At the same time, the bottom hidden design expands the storage capacity of the bathroom mirror and maintains a neat and beautiful overall appearance.

[0018] 3. This utility model solves the problem that the traditional bathroom mirror cabinet has a fixed and single internal storage space, which is difficult to adapt to the storage needs of toiletries of different heights, by setting multiple evenly distributed fixed blocks on the inside of the cabinet and cooperating with flexibly placed partitions. It achieves the technical effect that users can freely adjust the height of the partitions according to the actual size of the items, realize the flexible division of the internal storage space, and effectively improve the space utilization rate.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a retractable bathroom mirror, which aims to solve the structural defects of existing bathroom mirrors, such as excessive distance to the mirror due to obstruction by the washbasin, insufficient storage function in the bathroom space, and poor appearance.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the retractable bathroom mirror includes a housing 1, a mirror 7 fixedly connected to the inner rear side of the housing 1, a sliding assembly 8 located on the lower inner side of the housing 1, and a cabinet door 4 and a mirror door 6 connected to one side of the housing 1 via hinges 5. The housing 1 serves as the mounting base and main frame of the entire device, supporting various functional components and providing primary support. The mirror 7 is fixedly connected to the inner rear side of the housing 1, providing basic mirroring functionality for users to groom themselves at a normal distance. The sliding assembly 8 is located inside the housing 1, enabling the expansion and retraction of the hidden storage space. The sliding assembly 8 includes a hidden cabinet 801, a bearing 802, a gear 803, a toothed plate 804, a handle 805, a sliding groove 806, and a sliding mechanism. Item 807, wherein the hidden cabinet 801 serves as a movable storage carrier, and through the cooperation of various components, it achieves reciprocating movement relative to the box body 1. The rear edge of the box body 1 is fixedly connected to a hinge 5, and the end of the hinge 5 away from the box body 1 is fixedly connected to a cabinet door 4. The cabinet door 4 is used to close or open part of the space of the box body 1, and plays a role in dust prevention and shielding. The end of the cabinet door 4 away from the box body 1 is connected to another hinge 5, and one end of the hinge 5 is fixedly connected to a mirror door 6. The mirror door 6 can rotate and fold at multiple angles relative to the cabinet door 4 and the box body 1 through this double-layer hinge structure, so that when unfolded, it extends to a position that avoids the obstruction of the washbasin below, meeting the user's need for close-range mirror viewing. At the same time, when folded, the mirror door 6 can remain parallel to the mirror 7 at the rear of the box body 1 and return to the storage state.

[0029] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, a specific gear 803 and rack 804 meshing transmission relationship and sliding groove guiding connection are formed between the sliding component 8 of the retractable bathroom mirror and the housing 1. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The core structure will be described in detail below:

[0030] A bearing 802 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. This bearing 802 serves as a rotating support component, and a gear 803 is rotatably connected to its rear. The outer circumference of the gear 803 is provided with standard gear teeth. Simultaneously, a toothed plate 804 extending along its length is fixedly connected to the side wall surface of the hidden cabinet 801. The length of the toothed plate 804 is greater than or equal to the maximum sliding stroke of the hidden cabinet 801, and a rack structure adapted to the gear teeth of the gear 803 is provided on the toothed plate 804. In the assembled state, the outer circumference of the gear 803 and the toothed plate 804 remain meshed. The rotational damping and guiding effect of the gear 803 ensures high stability and anti-deflection capability of the hidden cabinet 801 during force-driven movement, effectively preventing jamming caused by uneven pulling force. Furthermore, a vertically oriented... The extended sliding groove 806 has a preset guide cross-sectional shape, such as a C-shaped or rectangular groove structure. Correspondingly, slide bars 807 that are precisely matched to the cross-sectional shape and size of the sliding groove 806 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the hidden cabinet 801. The slide bars 807 are slidably embedded in the sliding groove 806. The linear sliding guidance of the slide bars 807 in the sliding groove 806 further limits the movement trajectory of the hidden cabinet 801. For the driving operation of the hidden cabinet 801, a handle 805 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hidden cabinet 801. The handle 805 is exposed below the bottom plane of the cabinet 1, making it convenient for the user to grip and apply force. By pulling the handle 805, the hidden cabinet 801 is driven to move the gear plate 804, which in turn drives the gear 803 to rotate around the bearing 802, so as to realize the smooth opening and closing of the hidden cabinet 801 relative to the cabinet 1.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions:

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, in order to achieve flexible division of the internal storage space of the box 1 to meet the storage needs of items of different sizes, multiple fixing blocks 2 are evenly distributed and fixedly connected on the inner side wall of the box 1 along the vertical direction. The fixing blocks 2 serve as supporting components and are arranged in pairs on opposite side walls of the inner side of the box 1. The box 1 is also movably equipped with partitions 3. The two ends of the partitions 3 overlap the top surface of the paired fixing blocks 2. By selecting to place the partitions 3 on the fixing blocks 2 at different height levels, the vertical position of the partitions 3 inside the box 1 can be freely adjusted, thereby dividing the internal space of the box 1 into storage areas of different heights.

[0033] As another preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the guiding accuracy and anti-derailment performance of the sliding assembly 8 during the pulling process, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 806 is designed as a C-shaped groove structure. Correspondingly, the cross-sectional shape of the slide bar 807 fixed on both sides of the hidden cabinet 801 is designed as a T-shaped structure that matches the C-shaped groove structure. The T-shaped head of the slide bar 807 is embedded in the C-shaped cavity of the sliding groove 806. By using the geometric locking fit between the T-shaped structure and the C-shaped groove structure, the degree of freedom of the hidden cabinet 801 in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction is restricted, and it is only allowed to make reciprocating linear motion along the length direction of the sliding groove 806.

[0034] As another preferred embodiment, in order to achieve effective avoidance of the washbasin area obstructed by the mirror door 6 and multi-angle mirror function, the hinge 5 connecting the cabinet body 1 and the cabinet door 4 is installed on the rear side of the cabinet body 1, and another set of hinges 5 connecting the cabinet door 4 and the mirror door 6 is installed on the front side of the cabinet door 4 away from the cabinet body 1. Through these two sets of hinges 5 in different positions, the cabinet door 4 and the mirror door 6 form a double-layer folding hinge structure. This structure allows the mirror door 6 to be unfolded in two stages relative to the cabinet body 1 with the cabinet door 4 as the rotating arm. In the fully unfolded state, the mirror surface of the mirror door 6 and the mirror surface of the mirror 7 fixed to the rear of the cabinet body 1 maintain a parallel positional relationship.

[0035] The working principle of this retractable bathroom mirror is as follows:

[0036] During use, when the user needs to adjust the storage layout inside the cabinet 1, the partition 3 is placed on top of the fixed blocks 2 at different height levels inside the cabinet 1 according to the specific size of the items to be stored. By changing the overlapping position of the partition 3 and the fixed blocks 2, the storage space inside the cabinet 1 can be freely divided and flexibly utilized. When the user faces the obstruction of the washbasin below and has difficulty looking in the mirror for grooming, the cabinet door 4 connected to the side of the cabinet 1 by the hinge 5 is opened outward first. Then, the mirror door 6 connected to the end of the cabinet door 4 by another hinge 5 is rotated and unfolded along the axis of the hinge 5, so that the mirror door 6 extends forward and avoids the obstruction of the washbasin until the mirror door 6 is parallel to the mirror 7 fixed at the rear of the cabinet 1 or reaches the specific angle required by the user, thereby meeting the need for close-range mirror use.

[0037] When the bottom-concealed storage function is needed, the user holds and pulls the handle 805 fixed to the bottom of the concealed cabinet 801. Under the pulling force, the concealed cabinet 801 drives the sliding strips 807 fixed on both sides to slide outward in a straight line along the sliding groove 806 on the inner side of the cabinet 1. At the same time, the toothed plate 804 fixedly connected to the side wall of the concealed cabinet 801 moves synchronously with the concealed cabinet 801. Since the toothed plate 804 and the gear 803 installed on the bearing 802 on the inner side of the cabinet 1 are always in a meshing state, the toothed plate 804... The linear motion drives the gear 803 to rotate smoothly around the bearing 802. The meshing transmission between the gear 803 and the toothed plate 804, as well as the sliding guide cooperation between the slide bar 807 and the sliding groove 806, effectively restricts the left and right swaying of the hidden cabinet 801 during the pulling process, ensuring that the hidden cabinet 801 extends smoothly. When not in use, the handle 805 is released, and the tension spring 9 applies a pulling force to pull the hidden cabinet 801 back into the cabinet 1, achieving hidden storage and maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of the overall appearance of the bathroom mirror.

[0038] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
