The invention discloses a locking device of an article storage rack and a
shower rod. The locking device comprises a base, a slide block, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod, a knob and a spanner, wherein the slide block is arranged in the base in a way capable of sliding between a locking position and an unlocking position; the first connecting rod, the secondconnecting rod and the third connecting rod are hinged through a hinging shaft; the end, far away from the hinging shaft, of the first connecting rod is in
pivot joint fit with the slide block througha first pivoting shaft; the knob is connected with the base through screw threads; the end, far away from the hinging shaft, of the second connecting rod is provided with a universal ball head; the second connecting rod is pivoted with the knob through the universal ball head; when the knob rotates, the knob drives the slide block to slide through a connecting rod
assembly; the spanner is arranged and connected onto the lower part of the base in a swinging way, and is hinged to the end, far away from the hinging shaft, of the third connecting rod; and when the spanner swings, the spanner drives the slide block to slide through the connecting rod
assembly. The locking device using the scheme can be matched with
shower rods in different dimensions; by triggering the spanner, the fast dismounting and mounting of the article storage rack can be realized; the operation is simple; the structure is stable; looseness cannot easily occur; and compression tilting can be prevented.
