Cupboards are commonly used in businesses and households, and people always build one or several cupboards when ornamenting rooms, because they can store large amounts of things such as clothes and quilts. The cupboard has two or three cupboard doors at its front end, which are usually pulled and pushed by hand. Tracks for sliding are mounted on the upper and lower doorframes of the cupboard door, rollers are mounted on the upper and lower ends of the door leaf thereof, and rollers slide on the tracks for sliding to make pushing and pulling easily and quickly. However, when only rollers are mounted to the cupboard door, sliding speeds differ that the door leaf run fast when being pulled or pushed hard, and conversely when being pulled or pushed lightly. Whereas, the door leaf may collide with vertical door frame when it is pulled or pushed too hard, giving a bad feeling to users, and even damaging the door.
CN 201 284 594 Y discloses a sliding door trolley mechanism incorporating a track mounted between the doorframe and the door leaf, and a damping roller assembly which is constituted of 3 basic parts: a left fixing board, a right fixing board and a connecting unit comprising a pull rod, a movable clip and a cylinder, wherein the movable clip is connected to the pull rod and is movable under the force of the pull rod.

"-shaped groove 19-3 of the upper track 19, move the stop dog 20 in reverse to make top surface thereof be pressed against the clamping strips 19-4 of the "
"-shaped grooves, and at the time the stop dog 20 can not move any more and is assembled in the "
"-shaped groove steadily.
In like manner, taking mounting the roller assembly in the bottom transverse of the cupboard door leaf as an example, a matching lower track must be mounted, and then push the stop dog 20 with its bottom facing adown and its top surface facing upward into the "
"-shaped groove of the lower track, and likewise, screw the Socket head screw 21 into the post stand screw hole 20-4 of the post stand 20-1 until the stop dog 20 can not move in the "
"-shaped groove.
As an improvement of the abovementioned solution, the damper pulling sheet 12 is an anomalous rectangular plate body 12-1, the 7-shaped fixing hook 12-2 is mounted at a side of upper part of the body 12-1, a triangular backing arm 12-3 is connected to upper part of the body 12-1 opposite to the 7-shaped fixing hook 12-2; a stopping hook 12-4 is connected to lower part of the backing arm 12-3, a lapping hook 12-5 is connected to a side of the body 12-1 closing to the upper part of the stopping hook 12-4; at least an empty groove 12-6 is mounted under the stopping hook 12-4; and a rectangular groove 12-7 is mounted between the triangular backing arm 12-3 and the 7-shaped fixing hook 12-2.
Preferably, the empty groove 12-6 is a rectangular empty groove.
The damper pulling sheet 12 is provided with at least two cylindrical pins 12-8 at middle part of its body 12-1, which are mounted parallel to each other and respectively protrude from both sides; a stretching rod clamping opening 12-9 is mounted at a side of lower part of the body 12-1, a spring clamping hole with rabbet at bottom 12-10 is mounted at the lowest end of the body 12-1; the body 12-1 of the damper pulling sheet 12 is mounted through in the radial through groove 10-4 of the fixing base 1, and the cylindrical pins 12-8 are inlayed in a bending clip groove an end of which is bent and which is mounted at middle part of surface of the fixing base 1.
Preferably, two cylindrical pins 12-8 which are mounted parallel to each other and respectively protrude from both sides are mounted at middle part of the body 12-1 of the damper pulling sheet 12.
Applied situation of the damper pulling sheet 12 will be introduced next, and that is, mounting the fixing base 1 assembled with the damper 2, the extension spring 3 and the damper pulling sheet 12 which can reset automatically, into the roller assembling clip 10, then inserting the roller assembling clip 10 into the movable clip sleeve 11, and then making the roller assembling clip 10 and the movable clip sleeve 11 together being enwrapped into the outer support clip 15 to constitute a roller assembly. The roller assemblies are then assembled into ends of the cupboard door leaf 6, and meanwhile the stop dogs 20 are assembled into ends of the upper and the lower tracks, to finish assembling the cupboard door leaf.
Next, we will introduce how the damper pulling sheet 12 which can reset automatically functions on the cupboard door leaf 6. After the cupboard door leaf is assembled, the damper pulling sheet 12 which can reset automatically should be pulled back by hand from its original position at middle and lower part of the fixing base 1, to make the two cylindrical pins move in the bending clip groove until one of the cylindrical pins reaches the bending portion at a side of the bending clip groove, where the damper pulling sheet 12 stops and at the same time the stretching rod 2-1 of the damper 2 and the extension spring 3 respectively reach their maximal extent, and we call this condition "strung". When the cupboard door leaf 6 is being closed from right to left after it was open, as shown in Figure 20, a fore-head of the triangular groove stand 20-4 of the stop dog 20 is hooked by the 7 shaped fixing hook 12-2 mounted at upper part of the pulling sheet 12 when the cupboard door leaf reaches the stop dogs 20 mounted at ends of the upper and the lower tracks, and referring to Figure 21, the whole triangular groove stand 20-4 gets into the rectangular groove 12-7 of the pulling sheet 12 in the period of the cupboard door leaf moving slowly. In that way, the pulling sheet 12 gets out of the bending portion of the bending clip groove of the fixing base and we call this condition "unhooked", and at which time the extension spring 3 retracts back and pulls hard the cupboard door leaf 6 in right direction to resist movement of the cupboard door leaf 6 itself towards left, and then the cupboard door leaf 6 can approach the door frame slowly and smoothly without jumping and collision because of balance of the forces from two opposite directions.
Automatic reset function of the damper pulling sheet 12 which can reset automatically will be introduced next. The pulling sheet 12 will not implement damping, if the operator forgets to "string" the pulling sheet 12 or the pulling sheet 12 is unhooked under some condition. However, the triangular groove stand 20-4 at fore-end of the stop dog 20 will collide with the triangular backing arm 12-3 of the pulling sheet 12 as shown in Figure 22 when the pulling sheet 12 reaches position of the stop dog 20 during the cupboard door leaf 6 returning from right to left, the triangular backing arm 12-3 will back and let the triangular groove stand 20-4 slide by the triangular backing arm 12-3, and the triangular backing arm 12-3 will go up again for its elastic force to make itself get into triangular groove stand of the triangular groove stand 20-4, and in this way the triangular backing arm 12-3 is hooked by the triangular groove stand 20-4 as shown in Figure 23. When the cupboard door leaf 6 moves towards right, the pulling sheet 12 will be pulled backwards by the triangular groove stand 20-4 and will not get out until reaching the bending portion of the bending clip groove, and at which moment, the pulling sheet 12 is stopped and "strung". The movement referred by Figure 20 will repeat when the cupboard door leaf 6 is being closed after it was open, and the pulling sheet 12 will again be hooked by the triangular groove stand 20-4 of the stop dog 20 to implement damping. The pulling sheet 12 will function normally with the aid of the stop dog 20.
The abovementioned is the automatic reset function of the damper pulling sheet 12 which can reset automatically, and the structure for this automatic reset function is designed very skillfully and accurately to ensure the cupboard door leaf 6 closing and opening normally.
Next, working condition of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to Figure 20 and Figure 21. As we see, when we open the cupboard door leaf 6, the damper pulling sheet 12 of the damper assembly on top transverse of the cupboard door leaf is totally hooked by the triangular groove stand 20-4 of the stop dog 20, and the pulling sheet 12 is pulled backwards and strung totally; the damper pulling sheet 12 of the damper assembly on bottom transverse of the cupboard door leaf is also hooked by the triangular groove stand 20-4 of the stop dog 20 totally, and the pulling sheet 12 is pulled backwards and strung totally; the cupboard door leaf 6 then move right normally after getting rid of the stop dog 20, and the cupboard door leaf 6 is thus open and is available for taking out things and putting things in.
