When the cabinet body 1 is in use, the plates in each direction are respectively a front plate 2, a rear plate 3, a top plate 4, a bottom plate 5 and two side plates 6.
Preferably, the rear plate 3, the top plate 4, the bottom plate 5 and the two side plates 6 are fixedly connected to form the cabinet body 1, or one or more of the rear plate 3, the top plate 4, the bottom plate 5 and the two side plates 6 are detachable or rotatably arranged; the front plate 2 forms a cabinet door and is installed on the front side of the cabinet body 1 in an openable and closable manner. The components are connected by simple structures such as hinged, plugged or clamped structure, which facilitates the installation by hand and without the aid of tools.
Cabinet body 1 is configured to be a unit cabinet or combination cabinet. The cabinet body 1 can be a cabinet body 1 with a single storage cavity 7 consisting of a front plate 2, a rear plate 3, a top plate 4, a bottom plate 5 and two side plates 6, or it can be composed of multiple groups of front plates 2, rear plates 3. The cabinet body 1 with multiple storage cavities 7 composed of the top plate 4, the bottom plate 5 and the side plates 6 can also be understood as a combined cabinet formed by combining and connecting multiple unit cabinets. This makes it easy to adjust the size of the combination cabinet according to actual needs. The two adjacent storage cavities 7 are separated by the same plate, for example, only one side plate 6 is provided between the left and right adjacent storage cavities 7. Only one top plate 4/bottom plate 5 is arranged between the two storage cavities 7 adjacent up and down. This saves material and ensures the structural stability of the combined cabinet. The application is easy to install, simple in structure, convenient to disassemble and assemble the cabinet body 1, and convenient to transfer and transport the cabinet body 1.

One end of each sub-plate 38 is rotatably connected or connected through a flexible member, and the other end is rotatably connected with the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 respectively. The side plate 6 is rotatably connected to one of the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5, and is detachably connected to the other. The front plate 2 forms a cabinet door and is detachably or rotatably connected to the cabinet body 1. When folding, one side of the side plate 6 is removed and turned inward around the other side, and then the middle part of the rear plate 3 is turned inward, so that the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 move to the folded state along the approaching direction.
The specific degree of “approaching” here is to enable the side plate 6 and the rear plate 3 to be folded. With this design, when changing from the folded state to the unfolded state, as long as the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 are pulled apart, the side plate 6 can be unfolded naturally, and then the rear plate 3 can be rotated to be supported between the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5. When changing from the unfolded state to the folded state, as long as the side plate 6 and the rear plate 3 are rotated so as not to interfere with the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5, and the side plate 6 is folded, the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 can be stacked. The cabinet body 1 according to the application can quickly switch between the folded state and the unfolded state without disassembly and assembly, and its operation is very convenient, which is convenient for storage and reduces storage space, and is not only convenient for the seller to store, transport and mail (in the folded state), and after the consumer receives the product in the folded state, there is no need to assemble it, and it can be quickly converted to the unfolded state for use, which is convenient for consumers to use. Moreover, the rear plate 3 is supported between the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 in the use state, which can play a reinforcing role, prevent the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 from approaching each other, and fold the side plates 6, so that the product can be stably maintained in the use state and prevent deformation.
In this embodiment, the plates of the cabinet body 1 are connected together when unfolded and folded.
In other embodiments, it can also be provided that the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 are detachably connected. After the two side plates 6 are turned or bent inwards, the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 are folded close together, or the plates of the cabinet body 1 can be detachably connected.
