DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following detailed description illustrates embodiments of the present disclosure and ways in which the disclosed embodiments can be implemented. Although some modes of carrying out the present disclosure have been disclosed, those skilled in the art would recognize that other embodiments for carrying out or practising the present disclosure are also possible.
The invention relates to a modular telescopic cabinet system with on-site dimensional adaptability designed to address the limitations of traditional storage and cabinetry solutions. This innovative system allows for on-site dimensional adaptability, optimized space utilization, simplified assembly, and enhanced durability. The primary embodiment of this invention comprises a telescopic cabinet system with a versatile frame and panel construction.
The telescopic mechanism (1) is represented by a series of telescoping members. These members allow the user to adjust the dimensions of the cabinet system effortlessly. The telescopic mechanism consists of two or more sliding sections, enabling expansion or contraction of the cabinet width or height. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic mechanism includes two sliding sections on each side of the cabinet frame, which can be locked securely at various positions to adapt to different space requirements. Another embodiment includes an automated telescopic mechanism controlled by a remote or a mobile application, offering convenient and precise adjustments with minimal effort.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet frames are manufactured using a composite compound material. The composite material consists of a combination of PP (polypropylene), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), Nylon, HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), and glass composite.
The composite compound material used in the invention is a specially formulated blend of multiple components, each chosen for its unique properties and contributions to the overall characteristics of the material. The combination of these elements results in a composite material that offers an ideal balance of strength, durability, versatility, and other desirable attributes.
PP (Polypropylene): Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer known for its high tensile strength, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It is lightweight and exhibits excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for various industrial and consumer applications.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): ABS is a thermoplastic known for its excellent impact resistance, strength, and toughness. It also offers good heat resistance and is widely used in applications requiring a combination of rigidity and flexibility.
Nylon: Nylon is a synthetic polymer known for its high strength, durability, and abrasion resistance. It is often used in engineering applications due to its exceptional mechanical properties, such as low friction and high wear resistance.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): HDPE is a type of polyethylene known for its high density, strength, and resistance to chemicals. It is commonly used in applications where moisture resistance and durability are essential, such as in outdoor settings or water-related products.
Glass filler: The addition of glass filler to the composite material enhances its strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. Glass fillers provide reinforcement to the composite, making it more resistant to deformation and improving its overall structural integrity.
Talc filler: It is a soft and naturally occurring mineral and commonly used as an additive in composite materials. It enhances stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance, making the final product more rigid, less prone to deformation, and capable of withstanding higher temperatures. Talc also improves impact resistance and is cost-effective compared to other fillers or reinforcing agents.
The composite material has a base polymer selected from the group of PP (polypropylene), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), Nylon, HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), constituting 62.5% to 82.5% of the composite material; glass filler, providing added strength and rigidity to the composite material, constituting 15% to 25% of the composite material; and talc filler, enhancing stiffness and dimensional stability, constituting 2.5% to 5% by weight of the composite material.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the composite material is subjected to an injection moulding process, where it is melted and introduced into a mould cavity. The parameters for this process include a melting temperature ranging from 250 to 350 degrees Celsius and a pressure range of 300 to 800 bars. The result is a seamlessly fused, robust frame.
To enhance both durability and aesthetics, the frame is covered with steel sheets. These steel sheets can include Pre-Painted Galvalume, Powder coated, polyurethane-coated, or pre-painted galvanized steel. The sheets have a thickness ranging from 0.3 to 0.8mm, a yield strength of 160 to 220 MPa, and an ultimate tensile strength of 400 to 480 MPa. The sheets are bent over the frame to provide an appealing surface finish. Alternative embodiments may involve using different surface finishing materials or incorporating additional coatings to cater to specific aesthetic or environmental requirements.
The cabinet’s panels and joining members (2, 3) play a crucial role in the assembly. Three types of joining members, fabricated from the same composite material as the frame, are used to mechanically join the panels to the frame (4). The panels themselves can also be made from the same composite material.
Depending on the desired aesthetics or application, various colors, textures, or surface treatments can be applied to the panels and joining members.
Modular telescopic cabinet system of the present invention offers design flexibility to harmonize with diverse interior decors. Its adaptability allows users to rectify on-site errors and customize dimensions as needed, catering to specific storage requirements and spatial constraints. It is versatile and finds applications in a wide range of settings, including residential kitchens, retail stores, warehouses, offices, and industrial facilities.
