Abstract
A combined cabinet includes cabinet units and connecting devices. The connecting device includes L-shaped corner protectors and embedding pillars respectively arranged at four corners of the outer side of each cabinet unit. Three parts, namely, adjacent sides of any two L-shaped corner protectors and an outer wall of each cabinet unit form a trapezoid embedding groove. An embedding pillar with a double-trapezoid cross section is embedded in the trapezoid embedding groove. Two adjacent cabinet units are connected by the embedding pillar. The cabinet units are connected to each other pairwise by the embedding groove and the embedding pillar to form a combined cabinet. Therefore, the problem that the existing combined cabinet body being inconvenient for removing and transporting is solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0043] The present invention will be further described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0044] Embodiment 1: A combined cabinet, the connecting device of the present invention can be applied to the combined cabinet, and the combined cabinet may be a functional wardrobe, a television cabinet, a wine cabinet, a book cabinet, a kitchen cabinet, etc. The combined cabinet may be made of wood, plastic, metal, synthetic materials or composite materials. Referring to
[0045] Referring to
[0046] Referring to
[0047] If the combined cabinet is placed against the wall, the cabinet door 15 may be provided only on one side of the opening of the cabinet unit 1. In this way, three parts, i.e. the wall, the frame body of the cabinet unit 1, and the cabinet door 15 can form a closed space protected from light and dust. If the combined cabinet is placed in the middle of the room, the cabinet doors 15 may be provided on both sides of the cabinet unit 1. The cabinet door 15 may also be provided on the opening at one side of the cabinet unit 1 and the covering plate 14 may be provided on the opening at the other side. The covering plate 14 may be embedded in the cabinet unit 1 or may be connected to the cabinet unit 1 by glue or screws. Thus, the cabinet door 15, the frame body of the cabinet unit 1, and the covering plate 14 can form a closed space. The drawer 16 may be selected to form the closed space as well, and one or more layers of drawers 16 may be provided in one cabinet unit 1. Here, the specific number of layers of the drawers 16 provided in each cabinet unit 1 may be set according to the size of the cabinet unit 1 or the size of the objects to be stored.
[0048] Referring to
[0049] Embodiment 2: the difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, referring to
[0050] Embodiment 3: Referring to
[0051] In the separation of a certain combined cabinet, the cabinet units 1 may be separated by withdrawing the embedding pillar 22 at the joints. In practical use, generally, the cabinet surface of the combined cabinet is flat, and the combined cabinet is placed against the wall. In this case, it is inconvenient to withdraw the embedding pillar 22 because of the lack of the point of force application, thus the separation of the combined cabinet is inconvenient. In order to solve this problem, a drawable unit 3 is provided in the embedding pillar 22.
[0052] The drawable unit 3 is fixedly connected to the embedding pillar 22, and the drawable unit 3 can extend or retract. When the drawable unit 3 retracts, the end portion of the drawable unit 3 is aligned with the cabinet surface of the combined cabinet. When the drawable unit 3 extends, the end portion of drawable unit 3 extends out of the combined cabinet, and in this case, the operator can hold the end portion of the drawable unit 3 by hand, and pull the drawable unit 3 along an outward direction. The drawable unit 3 is pulled out together with the embedding pillar 22.
[0053] Referring to
[0054] The extension of the end portion of the drawable unit 3 is performed in a manner of pressing the end portion of the drawable unit by a human hand. In practical use, the combined cabinet has two types of placement: placing against the wall, or placing in the middle of the room as a partition. When the combined cabinet is placed against the wall, the hand presses the end portion of the drawable unit 3, the static frictional resistance of the embedding pillar 22 and the adjacent two cabinet units cooperates with the hand pressing to make the end portion of the drawable unit 3 extend out finally.
[0055] Referring to
[0056] When the drawable unit 3 is used, by pressing the end of the drawable rod 31 extending out of the sleeve 30 by a human hand, the drawable rod 31 linearly slides by the cooperation of the stopping block 3230, the limiting groove 3242, and the sliding channel 3241, and pushes the inserting pillar 3220 to drive the inserting plate 3221 to slide in the sliding channel 3241. The inserting pillar 3220 pushes the spring 321 downwards. When the inserting plate 3221 is completely separated from the sliding channel 3241, the inserting pillar 3220 drives the inserting plate 3221 to rotate at a 45° angle under the combined action of the wedge-shaped teeth 3231 on the drawable rod 31 and the wedge-shaped surface 3222 on the inserting plate 3221. Namely, the inserting plate 3221 precisely corresponds to the position of the limiting groove 3242. In this case, the end portion of the drawable rod 31 is kept retracted and is aligned with the end surface of the embedding pillar 22. When the drawable rod 31 is pressed again, the drawable rod 31 makes the inserting pillar 3220 to drive the inserting plate 3221 to rotate at a 45° angle under the cooperation of the wedge-shaped teeth 3231 on the drawable rod 31 and the wedge-shaped surface 3222 on the inserting plate 3221. In this case, the inserting plate 3221 precisely corresponds to the position of the sliding channel 3241, the compression state of the spring 321 is released to push the inserting pillar 3220 to drive the inserting plate 3221 to slide in the sliding channel 3241, and finally the drawable rod 31 extends out. By cycling and reciprocating, the drawable rod 31 can extend or retract, continuously. When the drawable rod 31 extends out, the human hand can hold the drawable rod 31 and pull out the inserting pillar 22.
