The disclosure relates to a cube rotating, opening and closing multi-layer showcase. The disclosure implements relative rotation of the upper and lower layers through dynamic analysis and mechanical principles. The centre of the upper and lower layers is disengaged. The disclosure relates to the field of cabinets and display. technology.
Cabinets in homes are used for storage and display. Cabinet may be opened by puffing a handle; display windows face a single direction, and space utilization rate is not high. When the display cabinet is opened, the adjacent upper and lower layers are displaced in opposite directions.
To address the above disadvantages, the present disclosure provides a novel cube rotating cabinet, which is stable in operation, labor-saving when opening, and has a good visual effect when opened and closed. This cube rotating cabinet is herein referred to as Rubik's™ cube rotating cabinet.
The cube rotating cabinet is characterized by: a multi-layer box and a rotating mechanism. Each box is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with one side open. There are 4 boxes in each layer. When the rotating cabinet is closed, the openings are opposite to each other, and the opening direction of the box in the adjacent two layers is shifted by 90 degrees. A rotating mechanism is disposed between the boxes of the adjacent two layers in each column, so that the box located above and below the rotating mechanism rotates in the opposite direction of the rotating shaft by the rotating mechanism, and the adjacent two layers are opened. The mouth also rotates in the opposite direction.
Preferably, each box can be rotated a maximum of 90 degrees. The rotation of 0 degree refers to the closed state of the rotating cabinet, and the opening of each layer of the box is opposite to each other; when the rotation is 90 degrees, the opening of each layer of the box is facing outward, and in the closed state, the opening is relatively arbitrary. When the two boxes are rotated 90 degrees in the opposite direction, the openings of the two are flush and oriented in the same direction on the outside.
Preferably, the first side edge and the second side edge of any one of the boxes are respectively provided with hinges, and the first side edge is a side dose to the centre of the layer when the opening of the box is in the dosed state. The second side is located on a side of the opening that is in contact with the other box, the second side is opposite the first side, and the second side is the box opening is rotated in the cube, When the cabinet is in the closed state, the outer side is exposed; the hinges of the first side and the second side are respectively connected to the two adjacent boxes of the same layer.
Preferably, the cube rotating cabinet further comprises a base, the first surface of the base is facing the ground, and the second surface is provided with four sliding rails, and the first layer of the box is placed thereon; The slide rail comprises a slide rail guide and a slide rail; The slide rail is a strip-shaped structure, one end of which faces the centre of the base and the other end faces the corner of the base; The slide rail is disposed inside the slide rail, and a rotating mechanism is slid thereon to connect the first layer of the box, so that the first layer of the box is rotated around the rotating mechanism and moves along the sliding rail along with the rotating mechanism.
Preferably, the first surface of the base is provided with a moving device to rotate the entire Rubik's cube rotating cabinet relative to the ground. Preferably, the box is in a cubic configuration. Preferably, each column of the rotating mechanism is disposed on the same straight line perpendicular to the ground. The four boxes of each layer are set to correspond to the four quadrants of the layer, and the top of each box is equally divided into four quadrants of a single box.
The rotation mechanism of each box in the first column is disposed in the third quadrant of the single box; the rotation mechanism of each box in the second column is disposed in the first quadrant of the single box, and the third column is in each box. The rotating mechanism is disposed in a first quadrant of a single box, and the rotating mechanism of each box in the fourth row is disposed in a fourth quadrant of a single box. Preferably, when the rotating cabinet is in the closed state, the handle is provided on the outer side surface of any one of the boxes, and the side surface provided with the handle is not provided with a hinge.
Preferably, for any two closed positions, the opposite opening of the box, the opening between the two is expanded from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and the hinge provided on the first side is from the box. The centre of the hinge moves outwardly and is located on the exposed surface of the rotating cabinet when unfolded to 180 degrees; at the same time, the hinge disposed on the second side moves inward from the exposed surface of the rotating cabinet and is expanded to 180 degrees. The time is at the centre of this layer of box.
Preferably, for an open opposite box in any two dosed states, when the opening between the two is 0 degrees, the four boxes of each layer are arranged in a rectangular shape, and the two adjacent boxes are arranged. The stacking is not dislocated in the horizontal direction; when the opening between the two is 90 degrees by rotation, the four boxes of each layer are arranged in a cross shape, and the boxes of the adjacent two layers are dislocated in the front and rear direction. When the opening between the two is 180 degrees by rotation, the four boxes of each layer are arranged in a rectangular shape, and the boxes of the adjacent two layers are misaligned in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.
Among other advantages, the present disclosure has light material, the base and the upper layer box can be rotated in linkage, and when the upper and lower two-layer box are closed or closed, the rotation direction is opposite, and the position is changed or restored in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the cabinet is opened. When it is closed, the movement is smooth and the resistance is small.
The present disclosure will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments of the present disclosure, which are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

The second side of the base (1) is provided with four slide rails (2) on which a first layer of boxes (3) is placed; the slide rails (2) comprise slide rails (21) and slide rails (22); The slide rail (22) is a strip-shaped structure having one end facing the center of the base (1) and the other end facing the corner of the base (1); the slide rail (21) is disposed inside the slide rail (22), And the rotating mechanism (5) is slidably disposed thereon so that the first layer of the box (3) can be rotated about the rotating mechanism (5) and can move along the rail guide (21) with the rotating mechanism (5).
A first embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in
The hinges of the upper row A and the C rows are dose to the center, the hinges of the A row and the B row are exposed, and the hinges of the D and C columns are dose to the center. The hinges of the D-column box and the B-column box are dose to the center. Since the direction of the opening is staggered by 90 degrees, the sides of the upper and middle boxes of the hinges are staggered (
As shown in
The hinges are moved from the inside to the outside, and the hinges of the A-column box and the C-column box are connected, and the hinges of the B-column box and the D-column box are moved from the outside to the inside; the upper part of each of the middle layers is connected. The rotating mechanism is arranged to drive the opposite row of the upper row of the upper layer to rotate in the opposite direction. In the process, the connection of the upper box and the row of the box of the column B are combined with the box of the column C and the box of the column D. The hinge moves from the outside to the inside, and the hinges that connect the A-column box and the C-column box are connected, and the hinges that connect the B-column box and the D-column box move from the inside to the outside. When the opening is unfolded by 90 degrees, the middle box and the upper box are in the same direction and have a cross shape. At this time, due to the misalignment of the rotating mechanism, there is a misalignment between the middle layer and the upper layer box.
