Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage cabinets, and in particular to a storage cabinet with a hidden magnetic control switch. This storage cabinet is mainly designed for the storage of cultural artifacts, and is especially suitable for wooden cultural artifact storage scenarios that have certain requirements for the storage environment and require convenient and safe locking functions. Background Technology

[0002] Storage cabinets for collectible items are a common storage solution in the world of antique and collectible items. These items come in a wide variety of types and materials, including porcelain, wood, stone, and jade. Wooden items, such as gourds, walnuts, and prayer beads, are particularly popular due to their unique textures, warm feel, and rich cultural connotations. However, the characteristics of wooden items mean that their storage environment significantly impacts their quality. Changes in temperature and humidity can cause cracking, warping, and mold growth, severely affecting their aesthetic and economic value. Therefore, once collectors have a certain number of wooden items, they often choose specialized storage cabinets for centralized storage, providing a relatively stable and suitable preservation environment.

[0003] Currently, most storage cabinets on the market have significant flaws in their lock configurations. On one hand, many cabinets lack locks altogether, allowing outsiders or children to open them without difficulty. Since wooden collectibles require proper care and should be protected from dirty, sweaty, or wet hands, easily opened cabinets can easily damage the contents, increasing the risk of breakage. On the other hand, while some cabinets do have locks, the lock structures are often traditional, requiring a key for operation. This traditional lock structure not only requires carrying the key, increasing the user's burden, but also makes the operation relatively cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, traditional lock structures are aesthetically pleasing, affecting the overall appearance of the cabinet and failing to meet the needs of collectors who value both aesthetics and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a storage cabinet with a hidden magnetic control switch, which helps to solve the problem that some current antique storage cabinets do not have a locking structure or have a relatively traditional lock structure, making the opening and closing operation inconvenient and affecting the appearance.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A storage cabinet with a concealed magnetic switch includes a cabinet body with an internal storage cavity. The storage cavity is open on the front of the cabinet body. A hinged door is located on the front of the cabinet body, with one side of the door hinged to the side edge of the front of the cabinet body. A decorative protrusion is located on the top of the cabinet body, away from the hinge. A first locking hole is located at the bottom of the front end of the decorative protrusion, with an open bottom. A bolt is movably connected within the first locking hole, and a longitudinal travel limiting structure is provided between the bolt and the first locking hole. A door frame stop is located on the inner side wall of the door, with a [missing information - likely a design feature or design]. The second locking hole has an open top structure, allowing it to be longitudinally aligned with the first locking hole after the cabinet door is closed. The bottom of the latch, in its free state, extends to the outer area below the first locking hole and inserts into the second locking hole after the cabinet door is closed, forming a locking and limiting structure between the cabinet body and the cabinet door. The latch is made of magnet, and a magnetic control block is detachably connected to the top of the decorative protrusion. At least one magnetic control block, when placed in the target area directly above the first locking hole, can magnetically lift the latch, causing the bottom of the latch to disengage from the second locking hole and releasing the locking constraint between the cabinet body and the cabinet door.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the cabinet's storage cavity is equipped with a horizontally arranged partition, and a drawer is movably connected to the bottom of the partition.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the cabinet's storage cavity is equipped with a hanging turntable. The hanging turntable includes a disc body with its central axis vertically set. The central axis of the disc body is connected to the inner top wall of the storage cavity through a rotating shaft. The disc body can rotate around the rotating shaft. Several hanging rods are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the disc body, and anti-detachment blocks are provided at the outer ends of the hanging rods.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the top rear end of the decorative boss is provided with a plurality of spaced magnetic grooves for placing magnetic blocks. The magnetic grooves are used to place magnetic blocks. The front side of the decorative boss is provided with a magnetic control area directly above the first locking hole. When the magnetic blocks are placed in the magnetic control area, they can magnetically attract or magnetically repel the pins below.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, there are two magnetic suction slots, namely a first magnetic suction slot and a second magnetic suction slot. A first magnetic control block is detachably placed in the first magnetic suction slot, and a second magnetic control block is detachably placed in the second magnetic suction slot. The bottom of the first magnetic control block and the bottom of the second magnetic control block are provided with magnets with opposite magnetic pole directions. When the first magnetic control block is placed in the magnetic control area, it can generate magnetic attraction to the pin, so that the pin moves upward and the bottom of the pin disengages from the second locking hole. When the second magnetic control block is placed in the magnetic control area, it can generate magnetic repulsion to the pin, so that the pin moves downward in the first locking hole and the bottom of the pin extends to the outside of the first locking hole.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the magnetron block has a block structure with a flat end face on top, which can serve as a marking processing end face structure.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the top of the magnetron block has a spherical structure.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the cabinet doors and drawers are equipped with handles.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model's storage cabinet with a concealed magnetic switch utilizes a magnetic switch design to form a hidden child lock mechanism. No key is needed; simply placing the magnetic control block in the designated position opens and closes the cabinet door. Operation is simple and quick, greatly improving ease of use. Especially for users who frequently need to open the storage cabinet to retrieve items, this convenient opening and closing method saves time and effort, enhancing the user experience.

[0016] 2. By cooperating with the first and second locking holes, and through the magnetic control of the bolt by the magnetic control block, the storage cabinet is reliably locked. After the cabinet door is closed, the bolt inserts into the second locking hole, forming an effective locking and limiting structure to prevent the cabinet door from being accidentally opened, ensuring the safety of the collectibles inside. Furthermore, by setting magnetic control blocks with different magnetic pole directions, different locking and unlocking control methods can be achieved, further enhancing safety and flexibility.

[0017] 3. The concealed magnetic switch design keeps the locking mechanism hidden, preserving the overall aesthetics of the storage cabinet. The decorative protrusions and magnetic control blocks not only enhance the appearance but also cleverly integrate the magnetic switch components, resulting in a cleaner and more elegant look. Furthermore, the addition of features such as a hanging turntable, shelves, and drawers increases the cabinet's practicality and storage space, meeting the multifunctional needs of collectors.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of 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, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 8This embodiment discloses a storage cabinet with a concealed magnetic switch, aiming to solve the problem that some current antique storage cabinets lack a locking structure or have a relatively traditional lock structure, making the opening and closing inconvenient and affecting the aesthetics. By adopting a concealed magnetic switch design, the storage cabinet can be easily locked and opened, while improving its overall aesthetics and practicality.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, this storage cabinet with a concealed magnetic switch mainly includes a cabinet body 100, a cabinet door 200, a latch 500, a decorative protrusion 300, a magnetic control block 400, a hanging turntable 120, and a drawer 600. The cabinet body 100 serves as the main structure of the storage cabinet and has an internal storage cavity for storing items such as antiques. The storage cavity is open on the front of the cabinet body 100 for easy access to items. The front of the cabinet body 100 features a single-leaf door 200 that can be flipped open and closed. One side of the door 200 is hinged to the side edge of the front of the cabinet body 100 via a hinge, allowing for flexible opening and closing.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the cabinet 100, away from the hinge, has a decorative protrusion 300. The decorative protrusion 300 is a rectangular thin plate structure. This decorative protrusion 300 not only beautifies the appearance of the storage cabinet, but also provides an installation position for the hidden magnetic control switch.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the decorative protrusion 300 has two spaced magnetic slots on its top rear end, namely the first magnetic slot 310 and the second magnetic slot 320. These slots are used to hold the magnetic control block 400, facilitating its storage and retrieval. The first magnetic control block 410 is detachably placed in the first magnetic slot 310, and the second magnetic control block 420 is detachably placed in the second magnetic slot 320. Magnets with opposite magnetic poles are located at the bottom of both the first and second magnetic control blocks 410. It should be noted that, to ensure the stability of the magnetic control block 400, magnetic metal sheets are fixed to the bottom of both the first and second magnetic slots 310 and 320, creating a magnetic attraction effect after the magnetic control block 400 is placed, reducing the risk of the magnetic control block 400 falling out of the slot.

[0034] Combination Figure 5As shown, the cabinet 100 has a first locking hole 110 at the bottom front end of the decorative protrusion 300. The longitudinal profile of the first locking hole 110 is T-shaped, and its bottom is open to allow the pin 500 to move freely up and down. The pin 500 is movably connected in the first locking hole 110. A longitudinal travel limiting structure is provided between the pin 500 and the first locking hole 110. This longitudinal travel limiting structure is formed by the T-shaped first locking hole 110 and the pin 500 structure working together to ensure that the pin 500 can only move within a specified longitudinal range in the first locking hole 110, preventing the pin 500 from coming out or moving excessively, and also ensuring that the distance between the pin 500 and the top decorative protrusion 300 is within a reliable magnetic control range.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a door frame stop 210 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet door 200. A second locking hole 211 is provided at the top of the door frame stop 210, away from the hinge. The top of the second locking hole 211 is open. (Reference) Figure 5 As shown, when the cabinet door 200 is closed in place, the second locking hole 211 can form a longitudinal alignment structure with the first locking hole 110, providing an accurate position for the insertion of the pin 500.

[0036] When the latch 500 is in a free state (i.e., not affected by magnetic attraction), it can extend to the outer area below the first locking hole 110 by its own weight. When the cabinet door 200 is closed, the second locking hole 211 is located directly below the first locking hole 110, and the bottom of the latch 500 can be inserted into the second locking hole 211, forming a locking and limiting structure between the cabinet body 100 and the cabinet door 200, effectively preventing the cabinet door 200 from being opened accidentally and ensuring the safety of the cultural artifacts stored in the cabinet.

[0037] Combination Figure 6 The latch 500 is made of magnet, specifically a neodymium iron boron magnet with a T-shaped longitudinal profile. A magnetic control block 400 is detachably connected to the top of the decorative protrusion 300. The magnetic control block 400 has a certain degree of magnetism and can interact with the latch 500. When at least one magnetic control block 400 is placed in the target area directly above the first locking hole 110, it can lift the latch 500 through magnetic attraction, causing the bottom of the latch 500 to disengage from the second locking hole 211, thereby releasing the locking constraint between the cabinet 100 and the cabinet door 200 and enabling the cabinet door 200 to be opened. This magnetic switch design does not require the use of a key, and is simple and quick to operate; simply placing the magnetic control block 400 in the designated position is sufficient to complete the switch operation.

[0038] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a magnetic control area 330 is provided on the front side of the decorative boss 300, directly above the first locking hole 110. The magnetic control block 400, placed within the magnetic control area 330, can magnetically attract or repel the lower latch 500, achieving different switching control functions. The bottom of the first magnetic control block 410 and the bottom of the second magnetic control block 420 are provided with magnets with opposite magnetic poles. Furthermore, the magnetic poles of the magnet at the bottom of the first magnetic control block 410 are opposite to those at the top of the latch 500. That is, when the first magnetic control block 410 is placed within the magnetic control area 330, the magnetic relationship between the first magnetic control block 410 and the top of the latch 500 is one of opposite poles attracting. At this time, the first magnetic control block 410 can magnetically attract the latch 500, causing the latch 500 to move upwards and its bottom to disengage from the second locking hole 2. 11. The cabinet door 200 is opened. When the second magnetic control block 420 is placed within the magnetic control area 330, the magnetic relationship between the second magnetic control block 420 and the top of the latch 500 is one of like poles repulsion. The second magnetic control block 420 can then magnetically repel the latch 500, causing the latch 500 to descend within the first locking hole 110, with its bottom extending outside the first locking hole 110. This structure allows for manual intervention to help the latch 500 reset and descend if it accidentally gets stuck and cannot fall on its own. Furthermore, the magnetic control block 400 has a block-shaped structure with a flat top surface, which can serve as a marking surface structure, facilitating the labeling of different information such as open, closed, patterns, and brand logos. In other embodiments, the top of the magnetic control block 400 can also be designed as a spherical structure, increasing the aesthetics and visual appeal of the storage cabinet.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cabinet 100 has a hanging turntable 120 inside its storage cavity. The hanging turntable 120 includes a disc 121 with its central axis vertically aligned. The disc 121 is connected to the inner top wall of the storage cavity via a pivot on its central axis, allowing the disc 121 to rotate around the pivot. Six hanging rods 122 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the disc 121. The hanging rods 122 are horizontal rod structures used for hanging bracelets. Anti-detachment blocks 123 are provided at the outer ends of the hanging rods 122. This design allows items that need to be displayed, such as bracelets, to be hung on the hanging rods 122. By rotating the disc 121, these items can be easily viewed and selected, while also enhancing the display function of the storage cabinet.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 has a horizontally arranged partition 130 inside its storage cavity, which divides the storage cavity into different spaces for easy classification and storage of collectibles. A drawer 600 is movably connected to the bottom of the partition 130, which can further increase storage space for storing small collectibles or maintenance supplies such as gloves, brushes, ropes, and scissors, thus improving the space utilization of the storage cabinet.

[0041] Handles are provided on cabinet doors 200 and drawers 600 to facilitate opening cabinet doors 200 and drawers 600 and improve ease of use.

[0042] This utility model discloses a storage cabinet with a hidden magnetic control switch. Through innovative design, it solves the problems existing in the lock structure of current cultural artifact storage cabinets. It has the advantages of convenient switch operation, good security and locking effect, beautiful and practical design, and personalized labeling and operation experience, and has broad market application prospects.

[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
