Preferably, the storage facility is a multi-layered storage facility including two or more storage spaces up and down, at least a portion of the multi-layered storage space has a hinged door, and a hinge axis formed in the horizontal direction on the upper side of the sliding door; It is equipped with a motorized door opening and closing device for opening and closing the storage space by turning the swing door around the hinge axis.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the storage facility according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a perspective view showing the storage facility according to an embodiment of the present invention with the door open, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the storage facility shown in FIG. 1 at a lower viewing angle, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a part of the storage facility shown in FIG. 1 shown in an exposed state, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the storage facility shown in FIG. 1 shown in an exposed state, in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the storage arrangement shown in FIG. 1 similar to FIG. 3 but shown with the door open, and FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 4 but shown with FIG. 1 shown with the door open. FIG. 7 is a front view of the storage facility shown in FIG. 1 shown in the opened state. FIG.

The storage facility shown in the drawing is a storage cabinet 100 having a single-layer storage space. This cabinet can be used in various forms, such as a cupboard installed in a kitchen to put a bowl, a bookshelf used to put books or school supplies in a study room, and an office cabinet used to put office supplies in an office.

The cabinet 100 is shipped in the form shown in the figure can be used as a wall-mounted cabinet for the user to fix the back to the wall and fixed to the wall of the building overlaid on the other cabinets, fixed or embedded in the wall of the building during or after construction It may be used as a built-in cabinet, or a multi-layer cabinet made of a plurality of cabinets of a similar type as shown.

Typically, the front and rear closet cabinet is composed of the left and right opening and closing type around the hinge axis in the longitudinal direction, the left and right opening and closing door is a large separate space required for opening and closing the door in front of the storage cabinet. Furthermore, if the cabinet 100 is installed with its lower end 150 at a height of 160 cm, if the left and right doors are left open, the door will touch the adult's head, causing the door to jam and, if severe, Will be coated.

Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the door 110 is configured to swing upward about the hinge axis near its upper end. The hinge shaft 111 may be determined by various known hinge devices (not shown), and should preferably be defined in the horizontal direction.

Thus, the swing door 110 opened at the top rises upward in the open state, and thus does not interfere with the passerby, thus improving the space utilization in front of the storage closet 100.

However, if the height of the cabinet 100 is 40cm and the cabinet 100 is installed so that its lower end is at a height of about 160cm from the ground, the door that is opened up and raised is about 200cm from the support surface. That is, the shorter person is at an inconvenient height to pull down the door by hand.

Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a door opening and closing device including an electric mechanism consisting of an electric motor 124, a gear assembly 121, and an arc-shaped rack 122 is provided.

The front end of the rack 122 is connected to the inner surface of the door 110 by the pivot 123, and converts the rotation of the electric motor 124 into a linear motion while pushing and pulling the door 110.

In the illustrated embodiment, the electric mechanism consists of the gear assembly 121 and the arc rack 122, but it is not necessary to limit the electric mechanism of the storage facility according to the present invention to the gear assembly 121 and the arc rack 122. Those skilled in the art can design electric mechanisms for opening and closing doors using rotational motion of electric motors using various mechanisms known in the art, such as belts and pulleys.

In the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, a controller 130 for controlling an electric supply to the electric motor 124 is installed at an upper portion of the cabinet 100. The controller 130 is supplied with electricity to the electric motor 124 and the rotation direction and rotation amount of the electric motor 124 according to a user's control input input through the manipulation unit 131 exposed in front of the cabinet 100. Control speed, rotation speed and so on.

The operation unit according to this embodiment is composed of a simple relay switch 131, when the relay switch 131 is pressed, the controller 130 starts supplying electricity to the electric motor 124, for the electric motor 124 The electricity supply is configured to continue until the rack moves so that the door 110 is fully open, and is automatically stopped when reaching the fully open position. After that, when the relay switch 131 is pressed again, the controller 130 starts supplying electricity to the electric motor 124, but the electric motor 124 is rotated in the opposite direction to the rotational direction by the electricity supply. Supply 110 to rotate in the closing direction, and this electricity supply is configured to continue until the rack moves so that the door 110 is completely closed, and is automatically stopped when reaching the fully closed position. When the relay switch 131 is opened and closed, that is, the door is closed in the same manner as in the right, electricity is supplied in the direction of opening the door 110, and the relay switch 131 is opened in the open state. When pressed, the electricity is repeatedly supplied in the direction of closing the door 110.

In addition, the door 110 may be configured to stop the supply of electricity to the electric motor 110 by operating the relay switch 131 while the door is opened or closed.

The relay switch 131 according to the present invention may be composed of various switches such as a simple pushbutton switch or a remote operation switch by a remote controller, and the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by the type of switch.

As described above, the storage facilities according to the present invention may be of various types, such as a star-mounted storage facility attached to a wall, a stationary storage facility mounted on another storage facility, or a built-in storage facility integrated or embedded in a wall of a building. It may be a storage facility, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by the use and type of storage facility. Further, the technical idea of the present invention is a multi-layered storage facility including two or more storage spaces up and down, and may be applied even when at least a part of the multilayer storage space has a sliding door.

Although the configuration of the cabinet 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, this is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the scope of the invention described in the technical spirit of the invention and the claims appended hereto, changes, modifications, It will be appreciated that adjustment is possible. Accordingly, the claims should be construed to include such changes, modifications, and adjustments.

If the storage cabinet according to the present invention is installed, the usability of the living space can be improved, and it can pass freely in front of the storage cabinet door regardless of whether the door is opened or closed, and there is no risk of being injured by hitting the door. In addition, since the door can be opened and closed by simple switch operation using the door opening and closing device provided according to the present invention, the convenience of the user's life is greatly improved.
