DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention discloses a safe cylindrical combined cabinet for outdoor use, comprising a cylindrical cabinet body 1. The cylindrical cabinet body 1 is formed of two or more unit cabinets 111 arranged and connected around a centre point. In this embodiment, the cylindrical cabinet body 1 includes one or two or more unit cabinet groups. Each unit cabinet group includes one or two or more unit cabinets 111. Each of the unit cabinets 111 has a trapezoidal transverse cross section. The two or more unit cabinets 111 of the unit cabinet groups 11 are stacked and connected together. All the unit cabinet groups are arranged and connected around the centre point. Actually, the number of the unit cabinet groups 11 may be changed according to the size of the cylindrical cabinet body 1. The height and width of the unit cabinets 111 of the unit cabinet group 11 are not limited. Referring to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the cylindrical cabinet body 1 is vertically divided into ten unit cabinet groups 11. Each unit cabinet group 11 may be a stack of several unit cabinets 111 having the same height or different heights. There is no need to limit the width and height of the unit cabinets 111 of the unit cabinet group 11, and they are stacked one by one and connected by paired lock screws 5. The unit cabinets of the adjacent unit cabinet groups 11 are also connected by paired the lock screws.

In order to improve the stability and waterproof effect of the cylindrical cabinet body 1, the combined cabinet further includes a base 2 and a waterproof cover 3. The base 2 is disposed under the cylindrical cabinet body 1. The waterproof cover 3 is disposed on top of the cylindrical cabinet body 1. The base 2 and the cylindrical cabinet body 1 as well as the waterproof cover 3 and the cylindrical cabinet body 1 are connected by paired lock screws 5. Each unit cabinet group 11 is connected with the base 2 and the waterproof cover 3. Preferably, the waterproof cover 3 has an umbrella-like shape in this embodiment. The waterproof cover 3 completely covers the top of the cylindrical cabinet body 1 to effectively prevent rainwater from impacting. In addition, the base 2 may be provided with casters to realize a movable outdoor combined cabinet.

In addition, under the action of the gravity of the waterproof cover 2 and the cabinet body 1, the clamping force is formed between the waterproof cover 3 and the base 2 for clamping the cabinet body 1 located in the middle to achieve the stability of the connected unit cabinets 111 of the intermediate cabinet body 1 and to form a good integrity. The waterproof cover 3 and the base 2 may be connected by a connecting rod or other connecting structure to form a clamping force, so that the connection between the cylindrical cabinet body composed of the connected unit cabinets and the waterproof cover is more stable.

The invention has the following advantages:
