Description

-1 DESCRIPTION: WEAR INDICATOR ON GLASS-TOP CABINET DOORS Technical Area The present invention relates to glass-top cabinets in the interior equipment of trucks. The invention specifically relates to a wear protection system for glass top cabinet doors that overcomes the wear problem experienced in glass top cabinets in the truck interior. State of the Art The truck's interior features include overhead glass cabinets. The middle door of the overhead glass cabinet is opened and closed using locking levers. During opening and closing, the locking levers come into contact with the soft but visually appealing front cover, causing abrasion and eventually resulting in visible wear marks on the surface. This surface and quality problem necessitates a solution. The application numbered DE102019004186A1, regarding the known state of the art, describes a cabinet concept for a ceiling module. It describes a device for illuminating the driver's cab of a truck. The device offers functional integration, as the lighting element is used not only to illuminate the interior of the driver's cab but also the cargo compartment or luggage rack. However, it does not solve the problem of wear on glass-top cabinet doors. Application number DE10242470A1 also describes a cabinet concept, similarly detailing a mechanism operating with locking levers. The storage compartment in a motor vehicle consists of a lid, a closing flap, at least one lock, and at least one movable latch. -2 It has a closing device and at least one hinge. However, it does not solve the problem of wear on glass-top cabinet doors. In conclusion, new technical developments are needed to address the wear problem experienced on glass-top cabinet doors in trucks. Explanation of the Purposes of the Invention Based on the current state of the art, the aim of this invention is to develop a wear protection system for glass cabinet doors that eliminates the shortcomings of existing structures. Another aim of the invention is to develop a system that prevents wear in glass-top cabinets by extending a more robust lower section so that the locking handle strikes this surface. Another aim of the invention is to prevent wear on the coating of the glass-top cabinet during the opening and closing cycle. Another aim of the invention is to reduce wear by extending the partition wall, which is made of a harder material. Another aim of the invention is to obtain a visually better product and to develop a new technical solution to overcome the problem of wear. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent visible cracks from forming due to the opening and closing of the lids. Another aim of the invention is to develop a technical solution that prevents wear on soft materials without requiring any material modification. -3To achieve the aforementioned objectives, a wear protection system has been developed for glass-top cabinet doors, offering significant technical advantages. Explaining the Figures Figure 1 shows a general overview of a representative application of the invention. Figure 2 shows a drawing of the center cover in a representative application of the invention. Figure 3 shows a drawing of the locking handle on the inside of the middle cover in a representative application of the invention. Figure 4 shows a drawing of the locking lever position with the partition wall and covers closed, in a representative application of the invention.

Reference Numbers 1 Glass top cabinet 5 Partition wall 2 Middle door 6 Front panel 3 Locking handle 7 Wear zone 4 Button 8 Extension Detailed Description of the Invention The invention relates to a glass top cabinet (1) in the truck interior. The middle cover (2) performs its opening and closing function via locking levers (3). When the button (4) is pressed, the locking levers (3) move vertically and the middle cover (2) is opened. To close the middle cover (2), the cover (2) is manually pushed and the locking levers (3) are placed in their slots in the partition wall (5). -4One of the lower parts of the glass top cabinet (1) is the front panel (6) and its material is PP-HIT17. When the middle door (2) is closed, the locking levers (3) come into contact with the front panel (6), which has a relatively soft material, and cause wear over time. The wear area (7) is indicated in the drawings. To solve this wear problem, the parting wall (5) with PA6 GF30 material has been extended and the locking lever (3) has been designed to contact the parting wall (5). Since the parting wall (5) material (PA6 GF30) has a harder structure than the pre-coating (6) material (PP-HI-T17), much less wear was observed. By extending the separation wall (5), the amount of wear that occurs during the opening and closing cycle is prevented with the extension (8) part. No visible cracks will form due to the opening and closing of the middle covers (2). No material change will be necessary to prevent wear of the soft material. Since there will be no or reduced user complaints regarding this area, a positive effect will be created. The invention provides a technical solution to reduce wear on the front coating (6) during the opening and closing cycle of the glass top cabinet (1) by extending the separating wall (5) which has a harder material. The invention relates to glass top cabinets (1) in the truck interior, which are opened and closed by pushing them into and out of their slots in the partition wall (5) connected to the front cover (6) by the movement of the button (4) and the locking levers (3) in the front covers (2), and its feature is that, in order to prevent wear on the front cover (6) during the opening-closing cycle of the glass top cabinet (1), at least one of the slots in the partition wall (5) where the locking lever (3) operates disconnects the locking lever (3) from the front cover (6). -5 is characterized by the wear protection system on the glass top cabinet (1) doors, which include extension (8). It includes a separation wall (5) extension (8) which prevents wear on the surface of the front coating (6) where the locking lever (3) and the separation wall (5) operate. During the closing of the middle cover (2), the lock levers (3) come into contact with the front cover (6), which has a relatively soft material, and in the wear zones (7) that cause wear over time, the lock levers (3) are cut off from the contact of the front cover (6) by the lock levers (3) with the front cover (6) and the separation wall (5) extension (8) made of a material harder than the front cover (6). It contains an extension (8) with an integrated separation wall (5) made of 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA6 GF30) material, which is resistant to wear in the wear zones (7). It includes a partition wall (5) protrusion that separates two regions in the form of an extension (8) or protrusion made of 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA6 GF30) material created between the locking handle (3) and the front cover (6).
