Selection skills of Chinese medicine cabinet

Look at the edge sealing of plate: the edge sealing of high-quality Chinese medicine cabinet is delicate, smooth and feels good, and the edge sealing line is straight and the seam is fine. Professional manufacturers use linear edge banding machine to complete edge banding, decapitation, trimming, chamfering, polishing and other processes at one time to ensure the most accurate size. Workshop-style small factory, with a brush glue, hand-pressed edge sealing, with wallpaper knife trimming, with manual polishing machine polishing. Due to uneven pressure, many places are unstable, and harmful substances such as formaldehyde will also volatilize into the air.

Look at the drawer slide rail: although it is a small detail, it is an important part that affects the quality of Chinese medicine cabinet. Because of the hole position and size error, there is an error in the fitting of slide rail installation size, which leads to the drawer not being pulled smoothly or loose left and right. Pay attention to whether the gap in the drawer is even.

The most important value of buying Chinese medicine cabinet-tenon and mortise structure

The price of Chinese medicine cabinet is not the most important, but the key is the formal technology-mortise and tenon structure to ensure the service life, not the low price will be affordable.

The tenon-mortise structure is a concave-convex joint method for two connecting parts in a solid wood medicine cabinet. The protruding part is called tenon (or tenon); The concave part is called mortise (or mortise). This form has reached a high technical level in traditional furniture in China, and it is also common in other wooden, bamboo and stone utensils.

The "tenon-and-mortise" mode of connecting all parts of Chinese medicine cabinet furniture in China is the main structural mode of furniture modeling. Various tenons and mortises have different practices and different scope of application, but they have the function of "joint" in every piece of furniture.

Dozens of different "tenons and mortises" in Chinese medicine cabinets can be classified according to their structure and coordination, which can be roughly divided into three types:

One is mainly surface bonding, or two edges bonding, or surface and edge bonding. Such as "notch tenon", "mortise tenon", "dovetail joint", "threading tenon" and "tying tenon".

The other is a structural method as a "point". Mainly used for T-joints, angle joints, cross joints of horizontal and vertical beams, expansion joints of straight beams and curved beams. Such as "grid shoulder tenon", "double tenon", "double clamping tenon", "hook tenon", "wedge tenon", "half tenon" and "through tenon".

There is also a construction method that combines three components and connects them with each other. This method is more complicated and special besides using some tenon-mortise combined structures mentioned above. Such as "supporting angle tenon", "long and short tenon", "holding shoulder tenon" and "zong angle tenon".

The value of Chinese medicine cabinet is nothing more than this. Through special mortise and tenon technology, all kinds of wood blocks are combined into a whole, which makes them firmly fixed, durable and not deformed. The appearance effect of use keeps pace with the times and is constantly improved with the development of social needs.
