I. Detailed explanation of cabinet design
There are many plates and various hardware used in the installation of cabinets, which are easy to be confused. Moreover, it is easy to fail to achieve the expected effect because of improper installation or damage during installation, so the installation needs the guidance of cabinet design drawings. The cabinet design shows the size of each component and the assembly of each cabinet in detail, as well as reminders about the kitchen pipes and the location where nails cannot be nailed.
Second, the preparation work before the installation of cabinets
1, description of cabinet installation sequence
The installation of cabinets is generally carried out by two masters. In addition to the installation of hanging cabinets, ground cabinets and countertops, the installation of range hoods is also increased. Division of labor means that one master drills holes in the kitchen and the other master assembles cabinets in the aisle outside the kitchen. The installation of hanging cabinets and ground cabinets is staggered. Generally speaking, the hanging cabinet and the floor cabinet are installed first, then the range hood is installed, and then the countertop is installed.
2, installation materials and tools
Cabinet board: including cabinet board and door board, it is the most important material of cabinet. According to the design drawings, the cabinet manufacturer produces all kinds of plates needed to assemble a set of cabinets. Moreover, the mounting hole of the connector has basically been laid on the board.
Accessories: During the installation of cabinets, the most commonly used accessories mainly include wooden tips, two-in-one connectors, plastic expansion bolts, screws of various sizes, hanging yards, hinges, handles, legs and various decorative covers (white hats, hanging yards, hole covers, etc.). ).
Tools: The tools used in the installation of cabinets mainly include wire saws for cutting, impact drills for drilling, electric drills for drilling nails, conventional measuring rulers, markers, hammers, screwdrivers, and sealing sealants and grinders that may be needed in the installation of countertops.
Third, the connection and fixing methods of hanging cabinets
As the name implies, the hanging cabinet is a hanging cabinet, which is generally fixed on the wall by fixing pieces. The installation of the hanging cabinet must be safe, and the cabinet body will not fall off in the later use. Let's see how to fix the hanging cabinet on the wall.
Through-wall drilling+pendant installation
At the beginning of installation, first determine the installation position of the hanging cabinet pendant with a ruler in the kitchen, and then drill a hole in the cement wall with an impact drill. The depth of the hole is about the same as the length of the screw used later. Then an expansion screw is installed in the hole, whose function is to twist the middle nut when drilling, so that the middle screw can open the outer pipe wall and squeeze the hole wall that has been drilled in advance, so that it is not easy to fall off due to friction, thus making the nails driven in the back more closely connected with the wall.
After driving the expansion bolt, cut the protruding part flat with a cutter, and then fix the lifting piece. Two spikes driven by an electric drill are fixed on each pendant.
Hanging cabinet assembly
Whether it is the hanging cabinet board or the ground cabinet board, the connection mode is similar, and generally there are three kinds of connectors to connect.
1, wooden tip connection
In the installation of this kind of cabinet, a large number of short and thick wooden tips are used to connect plates. Although the wooden tip is not as strong as the steel nail, it can make the plate feel loose and the connection is closer.
2. Two-in-one connector connection
The 2-in-1 connector consists of a pull rod and an eccentric part. In addition to the wooden tip connection between the plates, a two-in-one connector is added to ensure that the connection is firm and will not loosen. The characteristic of 2-in-1 connector is that it can bear greater tension. Because of the large pitch, the plate hole will not be damaged, and the firmness will not be affected by repeated disassembly and assembly in time. Installation holes have been punched in the board in advance. When installing, first install the pull rod into the corresponding installation hole, then connect the plate, then install the eccentric, and rotate the eccentric with a screwdriver to fix it.
3, threaded connection
Some bone plates, in order to ensure the foolproof connection of bone plates, will be fixed by driving screws with electric drills. The screws used are mainly wood screws, which are easier to combine with wood than other nails.
Install hanging cabinet
1, code for installing crane
During the connection of hanging cabinet plates, it is necessary to install hanging codes in time. Hanging code is the most important hardware to realize the connection between hanging cabinet and wall. This time, the cabinet is installed with naked hanging code. Code hanging needs to be fixed in the corresponding hanging cabinet position with nails first.
2. Fix the hanging cabinet
Fix the hanging code of the hanging cabinet on the pendant mentioned above, and then tighten the screws with tools, so that the hanging cabinet is simply connected and fixed with the wall.
Fourth, the floor cabinet plate assembly
Compared with hanging cabinets, the installation of floor cabinets should be relatively easy and labor-saving. Because the basement doesn't need to be fixed on the wall, it just needs to be assembled and put in the right place. Let's take a look at the installation process of the ground cabinet.
Installation preparation of grounding cabinet
Before installation, the corresponding parts of the ground cabinet need to be cleaned to avoid leaving clean dead corners after installation and placement in the later period.
Cabinet body assembly of floor cabinet
The cabinet body of the ground cabinet is complicated to assemble. The connection mode between plates is the same as that of cabinet assembly, with wooden tips, two-in-one connectors and screws.
But the basement plate is special. The wall and bottom plate of the ground cabinet are different from other plates. The wallboard is a thin moisture-proof board, and the bottom plate is covered with moisture-proof film. In addition, the horizontal bar in front of the basement is also a non-wooden bar. In addition, if the wood section is not waterproof, a special waterproof strip should be affixed. This is also done to prevent the water on the countertop from soaking into the door panel of the cabinet in the later use process, which will cause the cabinet to rot and damage.
Installation of grounding cabinet foundation
If the cabinet does not directly touch the ground, it is connected to the ground through the ground anchor. Then, after the cabinet body of the ground cabinet is assembled, it is turned over, the installation holes have been drilled in advance on the bottom plate, the anchor pieces are put on, then the bolts are fixed, and finally the anchor rods are tightened.
Cutting of cabinet board
The ground cabinet in the sink cannot be placed directly because it is blocked by the water inlet and outlet fittings, so the bottom plate needs to be cut. Cutting tools are mainly puzzles.
Before cutting, it is necessary to accurately measure all kinds of size data, then turn the floor cabinet over and draw the cutting size on the back of the bottom plate. Pay attention to drilling from the back when cutting. When the drill tip is exposed from the front, you should operate from the front to avoid the teeth on both sides from falling off.
Connections between grounded cabinets
In order to prevent moving between cabinets, they need to be connected. The connection method is to drill nails into the corresponding installation holes for fixation. Pay attention to prevent the teeth from collapsing on the board when fixing.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Installation technology of cabinet door, cabinet board and countertop
After installing the hanging cabinet, cabinet body and range hood, install the cabinet table, cabinet partition and door panel. Let's have a look.
Installation of ground cabinet table top
Before leaving the factory, the countertop has been cut according to the shape of the cabinet, so when installing, just put it on the corresponding cabinet. The splicing interfaces of the two countertops need to be smoothed by an angle grinder until the splicing interfaces are completely consistent. Then pour an appropriate amount of glue into the seam, and after the glue solidifies, polish off the excess glue with a grinder.
Installation of cabinet partition
If there is no push-pull cabinet in the cabinet, only partitions are installed to separate the cabinet space, and only partitions are installed in the cabinet of the hanging cabinet. As can be seen from the figure, a lot of installation holes are pre-punched on the two vertical plates of the hanging cabinet, and only two corresponding holes need to be used during installation, and the installation holes are selected according to the space division ratio. For other installation holes, in order to prevent the cabinet from getting wet, plug them with hole covers.
After the installation hole is selected, fix one of the split connectors to the corresponding installation hole, and then install the second split connector to the corresponding position on the partition. Then, the side of the partition where the connector is installed faces the split connector on the cabinet, and it is fixed by knocking it together.
Slotted slat installation
There is still a gap between the cabinet body and the wall of the hanging cabinet, and slats have been installed and need to be installed. Before installation, fix the slats and plates with glue, and then apply sealant. Then insert it into the corresponding gap, and then use tools to fix the slats on the other side of the cabinet.
Cabinet door panel installation
1. Finally, the cabinet door opening and closing panels are left to be installed. Hinge connection is needed between cabinet door panel and cabinet body. Before installation, the hinge should be fixed in the corresponding installation hole of the door panel.
2. Then, the door panels should correspond to the cabinet, and the height of all door panels should keep the lower edge of the door panels flush with the lower edge of the cabinet. Then use tools to fix the hinge of the door panel to the cabinet. After the door panel is leveled, all hinges are covered with hinge covers.
3. In order to reduce the vibration and noise caused by the switch cabinet door, finally, install noise-reducing plastic parts on the cabinet door and cabinet.
Door handle installation
The handle of the door panel of the hanging cabinet is horizontal, and the ground cabinet is vertical, which is also for the convenience of people to open and close. You can see the combination of handles from the above picture. After the handle is installed and fastened, the installation of the cabinet will come to an end.
