[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cultural relic management technology, and in particular relates to a modular storage device and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the storage racks used in museums, libraries, and archives are made of steel (cold-rolled steel), steel mobile shelving, and wooden racks. Steel and wooden racks are heavy and difficult to rearrange after placement, leading to management inconvenience. Steel racks are prone to rusting in the humid environment of the warehouse, while wooden racks are susceptible to moisture, insects, and decay, increasing maintenance costs. In addition, the extensive coatings on the surfaces of steel and wooden racks pose a potential hazard to the museum's storage environment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a modular storage device and its installation method that is easy to move and can reduce the damage to cultural relics while simplifying the daily management of cultural relic warehouses.

[0004] To solve the technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is: a modular storage device, including a base and a storage module, the storage module being installed above the base, the storage module including multiple drawer assemblies, a force distribution plate and a connecting plate, the force distribution plate being disposed between the multiple drawer assemblies, and the multiple drawer assemblies being installed between the base and the connecting plate.

[0005] Preferably, the force-shaping plate includes two positioning plates, two acid-free corrugated cardboards, and a honeycomb board assembly. The honeycomb board assembly is parallel to the two acid-free corrugated cardboards and is located between the two acid-free corrugated cardboards. The two positioning plates are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the acid-free corrugated cardboards, and are located on both sides of the two acid-free corrugated cardboards and the honeycomb board assembly.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning plate is provided with a first positioning pin and a first positioning slot.

[0007] Preferably, the honeycomb board assembly includes a first honeycomb board, a second honeycomb board, and a third honeycomb board arranged sequentially from top to bottom, wherein the third honeycomb board has a groove in the middle, and the gap between the acid-free corrugated cardboard, the second honeycomb board, and the third honeycomb board forms a deformation absorption space.

[0008] Preferably, the drawer assembly includes a drawer frame and a drawer for use, and the drawer frame has second positioning slots on both sides for use with the first positioning pins and second positioning pins for use with the first positioning slots.

[0009] Preferably, the drawer is provided with a pull strap for pulling out and a label for marking.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate is a U-shaped plate with its opening facing downwards, and the connecting plate is provided with a third positioning slot for use with the second positioning pin.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a base connector for connecting different bases, wherein the base has a fourth positioning slot for cooperating with the second positioning pin.

[0012] Preferably, the acid-free corrugated cardboard includes two acid-free paper panels and an acid-free corrugated core board disposed in the middle.

[0013] An installation method for a modular storage device, implemented using a modular storage device, comprises the following steps:

[0014] S1: Arrange the base: Determine the number of bases according to the site conditions, and secure them with the base connectors;

[0015] S2: Install the drawer assembly: Place the drawer inside the drawer frame and then place it on the base. At the same time, insert the second positioning pin on the drawer frame into the fourth positioning slot on the base.

[0016] S3: Install the force distribution plate: Place the force distribution plate on the drawer frame, and at the same time align the first positioning slot of the positioning plate with the second positioning pin of the drawer frame;

[0017] S4: Install the drawer assembly: Place the drawer assembly on the force distribution plate, and simultaneously align the second positioning slot of the drawer frame with the first positioning pin on the force distribution plate;

[0018] S5: Install the connecting plate: Place the connecting plate on the drawer frame after placing up to five layers of the drawer assembly, and align the third positioning slot on the connecting plate with the second positioning pin on the drawer frame.

[0019] Steps S2 and S3 can be repeated.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) The present invention adopts modular technology to break down the existing cabinet concept into parts. Each module can be decomposed into a frame and a box (drawer). Each independent frame is combined into a set of sturdy cabinets through a special socket design. At the same time, the box (drawer) can be taken out independently without affecting the overall strength of the cabinet. Each set of cabinets can be combined with each other, connected horizontally and vertically (back to back), to form cabinets with multiple combination methods.

[0022] (2) The present invention adopts a unique force-sharing plate technology to convert the uniformly distributed load borne by each module into a concentrated load and transmit it to the main load-bearing components (side plates of the frame) on both sides of the cabinet. The force-sharing plate can optimize the stress conditions of a single module and reduce the deformation of the top plate of a single module caused by the load, thereby ensuring the functionality of the present invention.

[0023] (3) The present invention reserves deformation absorption space on the force distribution plate to further ensure that the drawer can be taken out and put in without obstruction when the frame is subjected to load and deformed;

[0024] (4) This invention uses acid-free corrugated cardboard as the main material for the cabinet frame. The acid-free corrugated cardboard uses a special corrugated core paper as the core board, and acid-free paper panels are laminated on the top and bottom of the core board. The acid-free paper panels and the acid-free corrugated core board are combined to form the acid-free corrugated cardboard. This type of cardboard has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. At the same time, the acid-free material will not cause secondary pollution to the cultural relics storage room, providing a pure and safe protective environment for cultural relics.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0047] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a modular storage device includes a base 1 and a storage module. The storage module is installed above the base 1 and includes multiple drawer assemblies 2, force distribution plates 3, and connecting plates 4. The force distribution plates 3 are arranged between the multiple drawer assemblies 2 and the multiple drawer assemblies 2 are installed between the base 1 and the connecting plates 4.

[0048] Specifically, the load-distributing plate 3 includes two positioning plates 3-1, two acid-free corrugated cardboard pieces 3-2, and a honeycomb board assembly. The honeycomb board assembly is parallel to the two acid-free corrugated cardboard pieces 3-2 and is located between them. The two positioning plates 3-1 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the acid-free corrugated cardboard pieces 3-2, and are located on both sides of the two acid-free corrugated cardboard pieces 3-2 and the honeycomb board assembly. The function of the load-distributing plate 3 is to distribute the uniform load to the load-bearing members on both sides of the modular system.

[0049] The force distribution plate technology transforms the uniformly distributed load borne by each module into a concentrated load, which is then transmitted to the main load-bearing components (side plates of the frame) on both sides of the cabinet frame. Through the force distribution plate 3, the stress conditions of a single module can be optimized, reducing the deformation of the top plate of a single module caused by the load, thereby ensuring the functionality of the invention.

[0050] Specifically, the positioning plate 3-1 is provided with a first positioning pin 3-1-1 and a first positioning slot 3-1-2.

[0051] Specifically, the honeycomb panel assembly includes a first honeycomb panel 3-3-1, a second honeycomb panel 3-3-2, and a third honeycomb panel 3-3-3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The third honeycomb panel 3-3-3 has a groove in the middle, and the gap between the acid-free corrugated cardboard 3-2, the second honeycomb panel 3-3-1, and the third honeycomb panel 3-3-2 forms a deformation absorption space 3-3-3-1. At the same time, a deformation absorption space 3-3-3-1 is reserved between the drawer frame 2-1 and the upper edge of the drawer 2-2 to further ensure that the drawer can be taken out and put in without obstruction when the frame is deformed under load.

[0052] Specifically, the drawer assembly 2 includes a drawer frame 2-1 and a drawer 2-2 for use. The drawer frame 2-1 has a second positioning slot 2-1-2 on both sides for use with the first positioning pin 3-1-1 and a second positioning pin 2-1-1 for use with the first positioning slot 3-1-2.

[0053] Utilizing modular technology, the existing cabinet concept is broken down into smaller components. Each module can be disassembled into a frame and a drawer. Each independent frame is combined into a sturdy cabinet structure through a special interlocking design. Simultaneously, the drawers can be removed independently without affecting the overall strength of the cabinet. Each cabinet set can be combined with each other, connected horizontally or vertically (back-to-back), forming cabinets with various combination options.

[0054] Specifically, drawer 2-2 is provided with a pull strap 5 for pulling out and a label 6 for marking.

[0055] Specifically, the connecting plate 4 is a U-shaped plate with its opening facing downwards, and a third positioning slot 4-1 is provided on the connecting plate 4 to cooperate with the second positioning pin 2-1-1. The function of the connecting plate 4 is to install the connecting plate 4 every three to five drawer assemblies 2 to ensure the overall stability of the system.

[0056] Specifically, it also includes a base connector 7 for connecting different bases 1, and the base 1 has a fourth positioning slot 1-1 for use with the second positioning pin 2-1-1.

[0057] Specifically, the acid-free corrugated cardboard 3-2 includes two acid-free paper panels and an acid-free corrugated core board located in the middle. This invention uses acid-free corrugated cardboard as the main material for the cabinet frame. The acid-free corrugated cardboard uses a special corrugated core paper as the core board, with acid-free paper panels laminated on the top and bottom. The acid-free paper panels and the acid-free corrugated core board combine to form the acid-free corrugated cardboard. This type of cardboard has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. At the same time, the acid-free material will not cause secondary pollution to the cultural relic storage room, providing a pure and safe protective environment for the cultural relics.

[0058] The materials involved in each component are as follows:

[0059] 1. Drawer (modular unit): Acid-free corrugated cardboard;

[0060] 2. Drawer frame (modular unit): Acid-free corrugated cardboard;

[0061] 3. Component boards: honeycomb board, acid-free corrugated cardboard;

[0062] 4. Base: Cold-rolled steel;

[0063] 5. Connecting plate: Cold-rolled steel.

[0065] S1: Arrange base 1: Determine the number of base 1 according to the site conditions, and lock it in place with base connector 7;

[0066] S2: Install the drawer assembly: Place the drawer 2-2 inside the drawer frame 2-1 and then place it on the base 1. At the same time, insert the second positioning pin 2-1-1 on the drawer frame 2-1 into the fourth positioning slot 1-1 on the base 1.

[0067] S3: Install the force distribution plate 3: Place the force distribution plate 3 on the drawer frame 2-1, and at the same time, fit the first positioning slot 3-1-2 of the positioning plate 3-1 with the second positioning pin 2-1-1 of the drawer frame 2;

[0068] S4: Install drawer assembly 2: Place drawer assembly 2 on force distribution plate 3, and simultaneously mate the second positioning slot 2-1-2 of drawer frame 2-1 with the first positioning pin 3-1-1 on force distribution plate 3;

[0069] S5: Install connecting plate 4: After placing up to five layers of drawer assembly 2, place connecting plate 4 on drawer frame 2-1, and simultaneously mate the third positioning slot 4-1 on connecting plate 4 with the second positioning pin 2-1-1 on drawer frame 2;

[0070] Steps S2 and S3 can be repeated. Drawer assembly 2 and force distribution plate 3 are arranged alternately. A connecting plate 4 can be arranged every 3-5 layers of drawer assembly 2 until the appropriate height (10 layers or 1.6-1.8 meters).

[0071] In summary, the modular storage device of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0072] 1. Utilizing the lightweight nature of corrugated cardboard, lightweight and modular cabinet frames are achieved;

[0073] 2. Due to the use of lightweight materials, the position and form of the cabinets can be adjusted more flexibly according to the needs of museum storage management, while also meeting the requirements of large loads;
