How Are The Cabinet Body And The Cabinet Door of A Fume Hood Connected

The connection methods between the cabinet body and the cabinet door of a fume hood mainly include the following:

First, hinge connection

Definition: Hinge connection is one of the most common ways to connect the cabinet body and the cabinet door, which can be achieved through hinges installed on the cabinet body and the cabinet door.

Features: Hinge connection has the advantages of simple structure, firm connection and flexible opening and closing, and is a commonly used connection method for furniture and cabinet products.

There are two forms of hinge connections: one-way hinges and two-way hinges. One-way hinges can only open and close cabinet doors in one direction. Bidirectional hinges can open and close cabinet doors in two directions and are also known as "corner hinges".

Second, slide rail connection

Definition: The sliding rail connection is another way to connect the cabinet body with the cabinet door. It uses the sliding of the sliding rail to complete the opening and closing actions of the cabinet door.

Features: The advantages of the slide rail connection are that the switch is light and the noise is low, making it suitable for high-frequency usage scenarios.

There are two forms of slide rail connection: side slide rail and bottom slide rail connection. The side-sliding slide rail is installed on the side of the cabinet body and the cabinet door. After the cabinet door is opened, it will be fixed by the slide rail. The bottom sliding rail connection is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body and the cabinet door. After the cabinet door is opened, it is supported by the sliding rail.

Third, snap connection

Definition: The snap-on connection is a relatively novel connection method between the cabinet body and the cabinet door. It achieves the connection through the clips installed on the cabinet body and the cabinet door.

Features: The snap-fit connection has the advantages of simple installation, firm connection and easy disassembly, making it suitable for scenarios where cabinet doors are frequently replaced.

There are two forms of snap-on connection: side snap-on and top snap-on. The side clips are installed on the side of the cabinet body and the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is closed, they will lock the cabinet door. The top clips are installed on the top of the cabinet body and the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is opened, the clips will be automatically released.

In practical applications, the connection method between the cabinet body and the cabinet door of a fume hood may be selected and adjusted according to specific design and functional requirements. For instance, some high-end fume hoods may adopt more complex connection structures to ensure the stability and durability of the cabinet doors.

In addition, no matter which connection method is adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the cabinet body and the cabinet door is firm and reliable to prevent safety accidents caused by the detachment or loosening of the cabinet door during the experiment. At the same time, during the connection process, attention should also be paid to the handling of details, such as the tightness of screws, the lubrication of hinges or slide rails, etc., to ensure the normal use and long-term stability of the fume hood.
