AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Side walls for drawers, composed of metallic materials welded together, are prone to detachment under load, particularly when adjusting the inclination of the drawer front wall using a railing rod, due to insufficient stability of the holding device and support profile connection.

Method used

The side wall design incorporates a laser weld seam with additional laser deformation in the support profile, introducing heat and causing slight deformation, which generates tension and hardening, enhancing the profile's resilience and load capacity, and the holding device's attachment stability.

Benefits of technology

The enhanced side wall design significantly increases load capacity without detachment of the holding device from the support profile, ensuring stability even during adjustments, such as when using a railing rod to incline the drawer front wall.
