Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet technology, specifically to an adjustable cabinet door installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the assembly of kitchen cabinets, the cabinet doors are usually connected to the cabinet body's door mounting components (such as cabinet panels, cabinet beams, or connectors added to the cabinet body) through hinges, etc., to achieve the opening and closing function of the cabinet doors.

[0003] However, the manufacturing process of door mounting components to create mounting positions for connecting devices inevitably introduces dimensional or hole position errors. Furthermore, installation errors can easily occur during the installation phase, leading to problems such as overall tilting and uneven gaps after cabinet door installation. Disassembling the connection between the connecting device and the door mounting components and then reinstalling it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, over long-term use, changes in environmental humidity and the weight of the door panel can cause the cabinet door or door connecting components to slowly deform, altering the position of the connecting device relative to the door connecting components. This can result in the cabinet door gradually becoming crooked, sagging, or not closing properly, exhibiting other tilting issues. Traditional door mounting components lack the function to adjust the connecting device relative to the door mounting components, often requiring users to repair by re-drilling holes or replacing components, which is not only costly but also has limited effectiveness.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-7 An adjustable cabinet door mounting structure includes a door mounting component 1, a sliding seat 2, and an adjusting screw 3. The door mounting component 1 is provided with a guide portion 11. The sliding seat 2 is movably disposed on the guide portion 11 of the door mounting component 1 along a first direction. The sliding seat 2 has an inclined linkage groove 21, the extension direction of which is inclined to the first direction. The adjusting screw 3 is rotatably mounted on the door mounting component 1. The axial direction of the adjusting screw 3 is arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The adjusting screw 3 passes through the inclined linkage groove 21. A linkage slider 4 is threaded onto the adjusting screw 3 for moving along the second direction when the adjusting screw 3 rotates to push the sliding seat 2 to move along the first direction. The linkage slider 4 is slidably disposed in the inclined linkage groove 21 and slidably fits against the groove wall of the inclined linkage groove 21. After slidingly fitting against the groove wall of the inclined linkage groove 21, the linkage slider 4 cannot be rotated.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first direction is the left-right direction, and the second direction is the up-down direction. That is, after the two connecting devices 200 of the cabinet door 100 are respectively installed on the sliding seats 2 of the two adjustable cabinet door mounting structures, the linkage slider 4 is moved up and down by rotating the adjusting screw 3 of one of the adjustable cabinet door mounting structures. During this process, the linkage slider 4 pushes the corresponding sliding seat 2 to move left and right, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting device 200 corresponding to the sliding seat 2 relative to the cabinet body, so as to realize the position adjustment of the cabinet door 100 after installation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the guide portion 11 is an adjusting groove provided on the door mounting component 1, and the sliding seat 2 is slidably disposed within the adjusting groove. Furthermore, the door mounting component 1 is provided with an adjusting elongated opening 10 for one end of the connecting device 200 to extend into the adjusting groove and connect with the sliding seat 2. The adjusting elongated opening 10 communicates with the adjusting groove, and its length extends along a first direction.

[0024] In this embodiment, one side of the door mounting component 1 is provided with an adjustment insertion hole 12 that connects to the adjustment slide groove, and one end of the adjustment screw 3 is inserted into the adjustment insertion hole 12. Further, one end of the adjustment screw 3 is provided with a drive head 31, which slides against one side of the door mounting component 1, facilitating the rotation of the adjustment screw 3. Further, the drive head 31 is provided with a drive groove 32 for rotating the adjustment screw 3 with a tool; the drive groove 32 is a cross-shaped groove, used to rotate the adjustment screw 3 with a Phillips head screwdriver. In other embodiments, the drive groove 32 can also be a hexagonal groove for using a hex wrench or a flat-head groove for using a slotted screwdriver, achieving the same purpose.

[0025] Furthermore, the other side of the door mounting component 1 is provided with a limiting insertion hole 13 that connects to the adjusting slide groove. The limiting insertion hole 13 is axially corresponding to the adjusting insertion hole 12. The other end of the adjusting screw 3 passes through the adjusting insertion hole 12 and is provided with an axial limiting structure for restricting its movement in the direction of the adjusting insertion hole 12. The axial limiting structure slides against the other side of the door mounting component 1 so that the axial limiting structure and the drive head 31 jointly restrict the axial movement of the adjusting screw 3. Specifically, the axial limiting structure includes an axial limiting protrusion 33 provided at the other end of the adjusting screw 3. The axial limiting protrusion 33 is formed by extrusion. Figure 8 As shown, in other embodiments, the axial limiting structure is a retaining ring 5 fitted on the other end of the adjusting screw 3. The adjusting screw 3 is provided with a limiting ring groove, and the retaining ring 5 is fitted in the limiting ring groove, which can also achieve the purpose of limiting the movement of the adjusting screw 3 in the direction of the adjusting through hole 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the inclined linkage groove 21 is a straight groove, and its inclination angle relative to the first direction is 30° to 60°, preferably 45°, so that the displacement of the linkage slider 4 along the second direction and the displacement of the sliding seat 2 along the second direction have a 1:1 linear relationship, which optimizes the ratio of structural space to adjustment stroke, and also improves the rationality of force and the compactness of the structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the linkage slider 4 is provided with a linkage threaded hole 41 that is threadedly engaged with the adjusting screw 3, so that the adjusting screw 3 can drive the linkage slider 4 to move; at least a part of the outer contour of the linkage slider 4 slides in contact with the inner wall of the inclined linkage groove 21, thereby forming a linkage.

[0028] In this embodiment, on the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction, the cross-sectional shape of the inclined linkage groove 21 is an elongated hole, and the shape of the linkage slider 4 is adapted to the inclined linkage groove 21, thereby effectively preventing the linkage slider 4 from rotating in the inclined linkage groove 21, ensuring that the linkage slider 4 can only slide along the length direction of the inclined linkage groove 21, and improving the smoothness and accuracy of the transmission.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sliding seat 2 has a first clearance groove 22 and a second clearance groove 23 at both ends along the second direction. Both the first clearance groove 22 and the second clearance groove 23 are connected to the inclined linkage groove 21. The widths of the first clearance groove 22 and the second clearance groove 23 are configured to allow the adjusting screw 3 to pass through and move while preventing the linkage slider 4 from entering. Specifically, the widths of the first clearance groove 22 and the second clearance groove 23 are greater than the diameter of the adjusting screw 3 but less than the width of the linkage slider 4, thus allowing only the adjusting screw 3 to pass through while restricting the linkage slider 4 to move within the range of the inclined linkage groove 21. The first clearance groove 22 and the second clearance groove 23 allow the adjusting screw 3 to enter the corresponding clearance groove when the linkage slider 4 moves to the top or bottom limit position of the inclined linkage groove 21, thereby allowing the sliding seat 2 to continue moving, effectively increasing its total left and right adjustment stroke and increasing the adjustment stroke of the cabinet door 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, the sliding seat 2 is provided with a connecting groove 24 for adapting to one end of the connecting device 200. The connecting groove 24 is provided with a mating connecting hole 25. One end of the connecting device 200 can be inserted into the connecting groove 24 through the adjusting elongated port 10. After the mating through hole of one end of the connecting device 200 corresponds to the mating connecting hole 25, the threaded part of the connecting bolt passes through the mating through hole and the mating connecting hole 25, so that the connecting device 200 and the sliding seat 2 are combined and installed together. In this way, when the position of the sliding seat 2 changes, the position of the connecting device can be adjusted at the same time, so that the cabinet door 100 on the other end of the connecting device can also be adjusted, so that the cabinet door 100 is installed more closely on the cabinet body.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
