Description

locker Locker Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a storage cabinet, and more particularly to a storage cabinet having a simple assembly that is easy to assemble to a door panel to pivot the door panel onto the cabinet body. Prior Technology

[0002] Conventional storage cabinets typically feature a pivot structure between the cabinet body and the door panel, allowing the door panel to be pivotally connected to the cabinet body. For example, Taiwan Utility Model Patent Publication No. 572171 discloses a cabinet door mounting device for detachably mounting a cabinet door to a cabinet body. The device includes a mounting base, a mounting post, and a mounting plate. The mounting base includes a connecting plate, a side plate extending from one side of the connecting plate, two snap-fit ​​plates extending from opposite sides of the side plates, and a slot formed between the snap-fit ​​plates and the side plates. One end of the mounting post is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the other end engages with a pivot hole on the cabinet door, rotatably connecting the mounting base to the cabinet body. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the cabinet door and includes a stop portion that matches the slot. When the stop portion is bent to a release position, the mounting plate slides into contact with the slot, at which point the mounting base can be slidably removed from the cabinet body. When the mounting plate passes through the slot and the stop is bent to a stop position, the stop abuts against one side of the fixed base and fixes the cabinet door to the fixed base, thereby rotatably connecting the cabinet door to the cabinet body.

[0003] However, in the above structural design, the fixing base is formed by bending components such as the connecting plate, the side plate, and the snap-fit ​​plate in multiple places, resulting in a relatively complex overall structure. Furthermore, during the bending process, breakage is prone to occur at the bends. In addition, during assembly, after the stop part passes through the slot, it needs to be bent again to abut and fix it to one side of the fixing base to assemble the cabinet door to the cabinet body. This makes the overall assembly process cumbersome and hinders rapid assembly or disassembly. Moreover, when the cabinet door is repeatedly installed and removed from the cabinet body, the stop part needs to be repeatedly bent between the release position and the stop position, easily causing stress concentration at the bending angle, which can lead to breakage or damage to the stop part, affecting the ease of assembly between the cabinet door installation device and the cabinet door and cabinet body. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a storage cabinet, particularly a storage cabinet having a simple assembly that is easy to assemble to a door panel to pivotally mount the door panel to the cabinet body.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses a storage cabinet comprising a cabinet body, a plurality of door panels, a plurality of assemblies, and a plurality of locking elements. The cabinet body has a plurality of storage areas and a plurality of mounting portions adjacent to each of the storage areas. Each door panel corresponds to a specific storage area and has a pair of pivot holes and at least one fixing groove. The pivot holes are located on the mounting portions of the cabinet body, and the fixing grooves are adjacent to one side of the pivot holes. Each assembly is fixed to a door panel and has a pivot shaft and at least one fixing hole. The pivot shaft passes through the pivot holes of the door panels and engages with the mounting portions of the cabinet body, allowing each door panel to pivot relative to the mounting portions and open and close the corresponding storage area. The fixing holes are located on the fixing grooves. The locking elements lock into the fixing grooves of the door panels and the fixing holes of the assemblies.

[0006] By utilizing the aforementioned technical features, the assembly is first fixed to the door panel, and then connected to the mounting portion of the cabinet via the pivot shaft of the assembly, allowing each door panel to pivot stably relative to the cabinet to open or close the corresponding storage area. Furthermore, due to the simple overall structure of the assembly, it is only necessary to align the fixing holes of the assembly with the fixing grooves of the door panel, and then lock the locking element into the fixing grooves and fixing holes from the outside of the door panel to fix the assembly to the door panel, thereby improving the ease of assembly between the door panel and the assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the fixing groove is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole. Thus, when a misalignment occurs between the fixing hole and the fixing groove during the manufacturing process, the fixing hole can be adjusted and aligned along the extension direction of the long slot structure of the fixing groove, facilitating the locking element to be properly aligned and locked into the fixing groove and the fixing hole, thereby preventing the misalignment from affecting the assembly of the door panel and the assembly components.

[0008] Preferably, the door panel includes a base plate and a frame portion surrounding the periphery of the base plate, with the pivot hole and the fixing groove located in the frame portion. This allows the pivot hole and the fixing groove to be formed in the frame portion by processing methods such as punching, drilling, or laser cutting.

[0009] Preferably, the frame portion has a pair of first frame bodies located on opposite sides of the substrate, and a pair of second frame bodies located on opposite sides of the substrate. The first frame bodies and the second frame bodies together surround the periphery of the substrate. The pivot hole is located in the first frame body, and the fixing groove is located in the first frame body and adjacent to the pivot hole. In this way, the structural strength of the periphery of the door panel can be enhanced by the first frame bodies and the second frame bodies. Furthermore, by forming the pivot hole and the fixing groove in the first frame body, the alignment and assembly between the assembly and the door panel is facilitated.

[0010] Preferably, each of the first frames has a connecting plate and an extension plate. The connecting plate extends from the side edge of the base plate, and the extension plate extends from the side edge of the connecting plate toward the interior of the door panel. The pivot hole is located on the connecting plate, and the fixing groove is located on the extension plate. Specifically, the connecting plate is perpendicular to the base plate, and the extension plate is parallel to the base plate, so as to facilitate the assembly of the component into the first frame.

[0011] Preferably, the assembly includes an assembly plate and a fixing plate extending to one side of the assembly plate. The assembly plate abuts against the connecting plate of the first frame, and the fixing plate abuts against the extension plate of the first frame. The pivot shaft is fixed to the assembly plate, and the fixing hole is located in the fixing plate. Thus, by fixing the assembly plate and the fixing plate of the assembly to the connecting plate and the extension plate of the first frame, respectively, the assembly can be securely mounted inside the door panel. Furthermore, the pivot shaft can be fixed to the assembly plate by welding, locking, or other methods, or the pivot shaft can be integrally formed onto the assembly plate to facilitate manufacturing.

[0012] Preferably, the cabinet has a forward-opening interior space, a pair of side panels located on opposite sides of the interior space, and a top and a bottom located on opposite sides of the interior space. The mounting portion includes a plurality of mounting pieces and a plurality of mounting holes. Each mounting piece extends from the side panel at intervals and is located between two adjacent door panels. Each mounting portion, the top of the cabinet, and the bottom of the cabinet respectively form opposite mounting holes, which are aligned with the pivot holes of the door panels. Thus, by fixing the assembly to the door panel and allowing the pivot shaft to pass through the pivot hole, the door panel can be pivotally connected to the mounting portion through the pivot shaft, and adjacent door panels can be assembled together, thereby allowing each door panel to pivot relative to the storage area of ​​the cabinet.

[0013] Preferably, the cabinet includes an inner partition housed within the cabinet's interior space and located between the side panels of the cabinet, and a plurality of shelves spaced apart from each other along opposite sides of the inner partition within the cabinet's interior space. Each shelf corresponds to a mounting piece, and the side panels, the inner partition, and the shelves divide the cabinet's interior space to form the storage areas. This allows the cabinet's interior to form multiple vertically arranged and horizontally opposed storage areas, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the cabinet's interior space.

[0014] Preferably, the system further includes a plurality of electronic locks, each having a first locking element and a second locking element. The first locking element of each electronic lock corresponds to each of the storage areas of the cabinet, and the second locking element of each electronic lock is fixed to each of the door panels. When the door panel is closed within the storage area, the first locking element and the second locking element are engaged. When the door panel is opened relative to the storage area, the first locking element and the second locking element are disengaged. Thus, each storage area is equipped with an independent electronic lock to achieve locking and unlocking functions between the first locking element of the cabinet and the second locking element of each door panel, thereby improving the security when storing items in the storage areas.

[0015] Preferably, the door panel has at least one mounting hole, and the second lock has a lock plate and at least one lock hole located on the lock plate. The lock plate is fixed to the door panel, and the lock hole is located opposite the mounting hole. Thus, by aligning and locking the locking element into the lock hole and the mounting hole, the second lock is securely mounted on the door panel, ensuring the locking stability of the electronic lock.

[0016] Preferably, the diameter of the lock hole is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. This ensures that even if the lock hole and the mounting hole deviate during the manufacturing process, they can still be smoothly aligned and locked, thus improving the ease of assembly between the second lock and the door panel.

[0017] Preferably, the first locking member has a locking groove, the second locking member has a latch extending from the locking plate, and the cabinet further includes a partition plate that covers one side of the first locking member. The partition plate has a plurality of through slots corresponding to the locking groove of the first locking member. When the door panel is closed in the storage area, the latch of the second locking member engages with the locking groove of the first locking member along the through slots. Thus, by concealing one side of the first locking member with the partition plate, one side of the first locking member is prevented from being directly exposed to the cabinet space, preventing the first locking member from being subjected to external impacts, thereby improving the durability of the electronic lock.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a storage cabinet 10, which mainly includes a cabinet body 20, a plurality of door panels 30, a plurality of assembly parts 40, a plurality of locking elements 50 such as bolts or screws, and a plurality of electronic locks 60. The door panels 30 are arranged in multiple layers on the cabinet body 20. The locking elements 50 are used to lock the assembly parts 40 to the door panels 30, so that each door panel 30 is assembled to the cabinet body 20 through its corresponding assembly part 40. The electronic locks 60 are housed within the cabinet body 20 and correspond to each door panel 30, so that when the door panel 30 is closed, it is engaged with the cabinet body 20.

[0022] The following details the specific features of the cabinet 20. Referring to Figures 1, 2, 7, and 9, the cabinet 20 includes an internal space 201, a pair of side panels 21, a top panel 22, a bottom panel 23, an inner partition 24, a middle partition 25, multiple shelves 26, multiple storage areas 27, and multiple mounting parts 28. The cabinet 20 is a hollow rectangular cabinet structure with an internal space 201 opening forward. The side panels 21 are located on the left and right sides of the internal space 201, respectively, while the top panel 22 and bottom panel 23 are located on the top and bottom sides of the internal space 201, respectively. The inner partition 24 is vertically housed in the center of the internal space 201 and between the side panels 21 of the cabinet 20, with its upper and lower ends connected to the top panel 22 and bottom panel 23, respectively. The central partition 25 is located at the center of the opening of the cabinet space 201 and is attached to the front end of the inner partition 24. The inner partition 24 and the central partition 25 together divide the cabinet space 201 into left and right parts. The two sides of the shelf 26 are fixed to the side panel 21 and the inner partition 24, respectively. The shelf 26 is arranged in the cabinet space 201 at intervals in the vertical direction along the opposite sides of the inner partition 24. That is, the shelf 26 on the left side of the inner partition 24 is aligned with the shelf 26 on the right side of the inner partition 24. The side panel 21, the inner partition 24 and the shelf 26 divide the cabinet space 201 into multiple vertically arranged and horizontally opposite storage areas 27, each of which is used to store items (not shown). Each mounting part 28 is located around the cabinet space 201 at intervals, and each mounting part 28 is adjacent to one side of each storage area 27. The door panel 30 is correspondingly attached to the mounting part 28 so that the door panel 30 can pivot relative to the cabinet body 20, thereby allowing each door panel 30 to open and close the corresponding storage area 27.

[0023] The following details the specific features of the door panel 30. Referring to Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7, a door panel 30 corresponds to a storage area 27 of the cabinet 20. In this embodiment, the door panel 30 includes a base plate 31, a frame portion 310, a pair of pivot holes 313, at least one fixing groove 314, and at least one mounting hole 315. The base plate 31 is a rectangular flat plate structure. The frame portion 310 surrounds the periphery of the base plate 31. The pivot holes 313, fixing grooves 314, and mounting holes 315 are located in the frame portion 310 and can be formed by punching, drilling, or laser cutting. The mounting hole 315 is located on the opposite side from the pivot holes 313 and fixing grooves 314. Specifically, the frame portion 310 has a pair of first frame bodies 311 located on the upper and lower sides of the base plate 31, and a pair of second frame bodies 312 located on the left and right sides of the base plate 31. The first frame bodies 311 and the second frame bodies 312 together surround the periphery of the base plate 31. The pivot hole 313 is located in the first frame 311 and is opposite to the mounting portion 28 of the cabinet 20. The fixing groove 314 is located in the first frame 311 and adjacent to one side of the pivot hole 313. The assembly hole 315 is located in the second frame 312 on one side of the door panel 30. Further, each first frame 311 has a connecting plate 3111 and an extension plate 3112. The connecting plate 3111 is formed by bending vertically from the side edge of the base plate 31. The extension plate 3112 is formed by bending inward from the side edge of the connecting plate 3111 toward the inside of the door panel 30. The extension plate 3112 and the base plate 31 are parallel to each other to facilitate the assembly 40 being assembled into the frame portion 310. The pivot hole 313 is located in the connecting plate 3111, and the fixing groove 314 is located in the extension plate 3112 and adjacent to one side of the pivot hole 313. In this embodiment, the connecting plates 3111 of the first frame 311 located on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 31 each have a pivot hole 313, and the extension plates 3112 of the first frame 311 located on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 31 each have two fixing grooves 314.

[0024] The following details the specific features of assembly 40 and the connection between door panel 30 and assembly 40. Referring to Figures 3 to 6, the overall structure of assembly 40 is relatively simple, facilitating quick assembly of assembly 40 to door panel 30. Assembly 40 includes an assembly plate 41, a pivot shaft 42, a fixing plate 43, and at least one fixing hole 44. The pivot shaft 42 is fixed to the assembly plate 41. The pivot shaft 42 can be fixed to the assembly plate 41 by welding, locking, or other methods, or the pivot shaft 42 can be integrally formed on the assembly plate 41 for ease of manufacturing. The fixing plate 43 extends from one side edge of the assembly plate 41, and the fixing plate 43 and the assembly plate 41 are L-shaped as a whole. The fixing hole 44 can be formed in the fixing plate 43 by punching, drilling, or laser cutting, and the fixing hole 44 corresponds to the fixing groove 314 located in the first frame 311 of door panel 30. In practice, the assembly 40 is attached to the frame portion 310 of the door panel 30. The assembly plate 41 abuts against the connecting plate 3111 of the first frame 311 of the frame portion 310, the fixing plate 43 abuts against the extension plate 3112 of the first frame 311 of the frame portion 310, the pivot shaft 42 passes through the pivot hole 313, and the fixing hole 44 is aligned with the fixing groove 314. The locking element 50 passes through the fixing groove 314 from the outside of the door panel 30 and locks into the fixing hole 44, thereby fixing the assembly 40 to the door panel 30.

[0025] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 6. In this preferred embodiment, the fixing groove 314 is an elliptical elongated slot structure, and the diameter of the fixing groove 314 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 44. Therefore, in the processing of punching, drilling or laser cutting, when the hole position of the fixing hole 44 and the fixing groove 314 deviates, the hole position deviation problem can still be compensated by the elongated slot structure of the fixing groove 314. The fixing hole 44 can be adjusted and aligned along the extension direction of the elongated slot structure of the fixing groove 314, so that the fixing groove 314 and the fixing hole 44 can be smoothly aligned to lock the locking element 50, thereby avoiding the impact of hole position deviation on the alignment and locking between the fixing groove 314 and the fixing hole 44, and improving the assembly convenience between the door panel 30 and the assembly 40. Furthermore, when the locking element 50 passes through the fixing groove 314 and fixing hole 44 from the outside of the door panel 30, the head of the locking element 50 is correspondingly accommodated in the fixing groove 314. Therefore, the fixing groove 314 will not be deformed by the external force of the head of the locking element 50, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of the door panel 30.

[0026] The following further describes the detailed features of the mounting portion 28, and the assembly relationship between the cabinet 20, the door panel 30, and the assembly 40. Referring to Figures 7 to 9, in one preferred embodiment shown, the mounting portion 28 includes a plurality of mounting pieces 281 and a plurality of mounting holes 282. Each mounting piece 281 extends at intervals in the vertical direction onto the surface of the side panel 21 of the cabinet 20. Each mounting piece 281 corresponds to each shelf 26 and is located between two adjacent door panels 30. Each mounting piece 281, the top 22 of the cabinet 20, and the bottom 23 of the cabinet 20 respectively form opposing mounting holes 282, which are aligned with the pivot holes 313 of the door panel 30. Specifically, each door panel 30 is provided with at least one assembly 40, which is fixed to the frame portion 310 of the door panel 30. The pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40 passes through the pivot hole 313 of the door panel 30. Then, the pivot shaft 42 passes through the mounting hole 282 of the mounting piece 281 and then passes into the pivot hole 313 of the adjacent door panel 30, so that the adjacent door panels 30 are connected to each other. In the uppermost door panel 30 of the cabinet 20, the first frame 311 on both the upper and lower sides is provided with an assembly 40. The pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40 on the upper side of the first frame 311 of the door panel 30 is connected to the mounting hole 282 on the top 22 of the cabinet 20, and the pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40 on the lower side of the first frame 311 of the door panel 30 is connected to the mounting hole 282 on the mounting piece 281 of the cabinet 20, and passes through the pivot hole 313 of the adjacent door panel 30. Next, in the lowermost door panel 30 of the cabinet 20, the pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40 on the lower side of the first frame 311 of the door panel 30 is connected to the mounting hole 282 on the bottom 23 of the cabinet 20. Thus, by fixing the assembly 40 to the door panel 30 and pivoting it to the mounting part 28 via the pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40, each door panel 30 can pivot relative to the storage area 27 of the cabinet 20.

[0027] The following details the specific features of the electronic lock 60 and its assembly relationship with the cabinet 20 and door panel 30. Referring to Figures 3, 10, and 11, an electronic lock 60 is provided for a storage area 27 within the cabinet 20 and corresponds to the door panel 30 of that storage area 27. The electronic lock 60 includes a first locking member 61 and a second locking member 62. The first locking member 61 is disposed on opposite sides of the internal partition 24 of the cabinet 20 and is adjacent to each storage area 27. The first locking member 61 has a lock groove 611. The second locking member 62 is attached to the door panel 30 and includes a lock plate 621, at least one lock hole 622 located on the lock plate 621, and a latch 623 extending from the lock plate 621 and corresponding to the lock groove 611. The locking plate 621 is fixed to the outer surface of the second frame 312 of the door panel 30, so that the lock hole 622 is aligned with the mounting hole 315 of the second frame 312. The locking element 50 passes through the lock hole 622 and the mounting hole 315 from the outside of the second lock member 62 to fix the second lock member 62 to the second frame 312 of the door panel 30. In order to facilitate the smooth alignment between the lock hole 622 and the mounting hole 315, the diameter of the lock hole 622 can be larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 315, so as to avoid the alignment and locking between the lock hole 622 and the mounting hole 315 due to hole position deviation during processing such as punching, drilling or laser cutting.

[0028] In this embodiment, the electronic lock 60 is an electromagnetic lock, which utilizes the principle of generating magnetic force through current to achieve locking and unlocking functions between the first locking member 61 in the cabinet 20 and the second locking member 62 on the door panel 30. Specifically, when the electromagnetic lock is energized, the first locking member 61 generates magnetic force to attract and fix the second locking member 62, causing the latch 623 of the second locking member 62 to engage with the lock groove 611 of the first locking member 61, thereby closing the door panel 30 in the storage area 27 in a locked state. When the electromagnetic lock is de-energized and the first locking member 61 loses its magnetic force, the latch 623 of the second locking member 62 disengages from the lock groove 611 of the first locking member 61, and the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 separate from each other, thereby opening the door panel 30 relative to the storage area 27 in an unlocked state.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The middle partition 25 is attached to the front end of the inner partition 24 and covers the front side of the first locking member 61. The middle partition 25 has a plurality of through slots 251, each through slot 251 corresponding to the locking groove 611 of the first locking member 61, so that the latch 623 of the second locking member 62 on the door panel 30 can be engaged along the through slot 251 into the locking groove 611 of the first locking member 61, and the door panel 30 closes the corresponding storage area 27. The cabinet body 20 also includes a plurality of cover plates 29, which are attached to the surface of the inner partition 24 of the cabinet body 20 and close one side of the first locking member 61 to seal the first locking member 61 inside the inner partition 24. Therefore, by covering the outside of the first lock 61 with the partition 25 and the shielding plate 29, the first lock 61 can be prevented from being directly exposed in the cabinet space 201 of the cabinet 20, and the first lock 61 can be prevented from being impacted by external force or from foreign objects entering the interior of the first lock 61, thus affecting the durability of the electronic lock 60.

[0030] In summary, this invention discloses a storage cabinet 10, which pre-assembles a simple assembly 40 onto a door panel 30, and uses a locking element 50 to pass through a fixing groove 314 from the outside of the door panel 30 and lock it into the fixing hole 44 of the assembly 40. This allows the assembly 40 to be quickly and securely installed on the door panel 30, and each door panel 30 can be pivotally connected to the mounting part 28 of the cabinet body 20 via the pivot shaft 42 of the assembly 40, so that each door panel 30 can pivot stably relative to the cabinet body 20 and open or close the corresponding storage area 27. Furthermore, since the diameter of the fixing groove 314 of the door panel 30 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 44 of the assembly 40, when the fixing hole 44 and the fixing groove 314 deviate during the processing, the fixing hole 44 can still be adjusted and aligned along the long slot structure of the fixing groove 314, so that the locking element 50 can be locked in smoothly, thereby improving the assembly convenience between the door panel 30 and the assembly 40.
