The utility model can reliably confirm the cover quality of decorative thicknessing material on the machining face of the handle groove, confirm the right-angle corner of the handle groove, and process the handle groove into different shapes. The utility model has simple production, easy operation and beautiful appearance.
Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of sheet material that has right-angled corner and surface groove, especially relates to the new structure of a kind of concave type panel with handles.
Background technology
In the middle of prior art, on the door or the panel of drawer of furniture, need mounting knob.For the purpose of attractive in appearance, peripheral hardware does not protrude from the handle outside the panel, but leaves the inside groove of handle shapes on panel, pulls the door open or drawer for the user.
The shape of handle slot and the quality of quality are extremely important for the outward appearance of furniture, if processing is bad, can influence the overall appearance effect of furniture.The shape of handle slot has multiple, the most frequently used has two kinds, a kind of is that upper surface from panel inwardly stretches into formation, another kind is inwardly to stretch into one section (perhaps from panel upper surface) back oblique stretching in panel just from opening portion, leave and panel upper surface between angle less than 90 skewed slots of spending.Because above-mentioned handle slot inwardly stretches into, particularly skewed slot oblique stretching in panel makes that the lining of the processing of these two kinds of grooves and the surface lining on machined surface all is very difficult work.
Consider that from angle attractive in appearance the corner of the handle slot that the hand for the user that forms at panel upper surface stretches into should be strict right angle, this more brings very big difficulty to veneer.In a word, having on the panel of handle, the whole machined surface of handle slot, particularly skewed slot is intactly being covered be not easy very much.Even cover, also be not easy to paste firmly, yield rate is low.Surface lining also can come off in use for some time easily.The feasible handle slot of making according to existing method, often not attractive in appearance, and also overlay quality is not high.
The utility model content
In order to address the above problem, the utility model purpose is to provide a kind of panel with handles of new structure, can make the corner of handle slot be strict right angle, and the skewed slot of handle slot can by design stretch into the processing of angle and shape, and can guarantee the covering quality of Faced material for decoration material on the machined surface of handle slot reliably.
