Each of the side panel modules has two opposite end faces each provided with at least one third connecting section connected with the first connecting section of the front panel module and the second connecting section of the rear panel respectively.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A combination drawer, comprising:
 a front panel module;   a rear panel arranged opposite to the front panel module;   two side panel modules located between the front panel module and the rear panel respectively; and   a plurality of bottom panels located between the front panel module, the rear panel and the side panel modules respectively;   wherein the front panel module includes a first inner plate and a first outer plate combined with the first inner plate;   the front panel module has two opposite ends each provided with a first bent portion;   the first bent portion of the front panel module has an end face provided with at least one first connecting section;   the front panel module has a bottom provided with a first fixing portion and a first limit portion;   the rear panel has two opposite ends each provided with a second bent portion;   the second bent portion of the rear panel has an end face provided with at least one second connecting section;   the rear panel has a bottom provided with a second fixing portion and a second limit portion;   each of the side panel modules includes a second inner plate and a second outer plate combined with the second inner plate;   each of the side panel modules has two opposite end faces each provided with at least one third connecting section connected with the first connecting section of the front panel module and the second connecting section of the rear panel respectively;   each of the bottom panels has a first end provided with a third fixing portion combined with the first fixing portion of the front panel module and a third limit portion abutting the first limit portion of the front panel module;   each of the bottom panels has a second end provided with a fourth fixing portion combined with the second fixing portion of the rear panel and a fourth limit portion abutting the second limit portion of the rear panel.   
     
     
         2 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first bent portion of the front panel module has an arcuate shape;   the second bent portion of the rear panel has an arcuate shape;   each of the bottom panels at the two side panel modules has an edge provided with two chamfered portions abutting the first bent portion of the front panel module and the second bent portion of the rear panel respectively.   
     
     
         3 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the bottom panels has a side provided with at least one coupling portion;   the coupling portions of the bottom panels are connected with each other so that the bottom panels are combined together.   
     
     
         4 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the first outer plate and the first inner plate of the front panel module are combined together by ultrasonic waves. 
     
     
         5 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the second outer plate and the second inner plate of each of the side panel modules are combined together by ultrasonic waves. 
     
     
         6 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the first inner plate of the front panel module has a surface provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs abutting the first outer plate. 
     
     
         7 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the rear panel has an outer surface provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs. 
     
     
         8 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the second inner plate of each of the side panel modules has a surface provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs abutting the second outer plate. 
     
     
         9 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein each of the bottom panels has an outer surface provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs. 
     
     
         10 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the first connecting section of the front panel module and the second connecting section of the rear panel is a substantially T-shaped slot which has an outer side provided with an enlarged entrance;   the third connecting section of each of the side panel modules is a substantially T-shaped plug which is inserted through the enlarged entrance into each of the first connecting section of the front panel module and the second connecting section of the rear panel and is locked in each of the first connecting section of the front panel module and the second connecting section of the rear panel.   
     
     
         11 . The combination drawer of  claim 3 , wherein
 the coupling portion of a first one of the bottom panels is provided with a locking groove;   the coupling portion of a second one of the bottom panels is provided with a locking hook inserted into and locked in the locking groove of the first one of the bottom panels so that the first one of the bottom panels is connected with the second one of the bottom panels.   
     
     
         12 . The combination drawer of  claim 11 , wherein
 the locking groove of the first one of the bottom panels has a side provided with an oblique guiding portion abutting the locking hook of the second one of the bottom panels to guide a movement of the locking hook of the second one of the bottom panels relative to the locking groove of the first one of the bottom panels;   the locking hook of the second one of the bottom panels has a first end provided with a recessed receiving portion to receive the first one of the bottom panels and a second end provided with a hooked portion hooked onto the first one of the bottom panels.   
     
     
         13 . The combination drawer of  claim 11 , wherein the second one of the bottom panels has a side provided with a guiding ramp located above the locking hook and facing the first one of the bottom panels to guide a movement of the first one of the bottom panels relative to the second one of the bottom panels. 
     
     
         14 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the first bent portion of the front panel module is perpendicular to the front panel module. 
     
     
         15 . The combination drawer of  claim 1 , wherein the second bent portion of the rear panel is perpendicular to the rear panel.
