Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of furniture technology, specifically relating to a shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate transportation, many existing furniture products are modular, easy-to-disassemble and assemble, using disassembly and assembly connectors. Shelf supports, used within cabinets or tables, are one such connector, used to support and lift the middle shelves in the furniture. In many existing furniture products, the shelf supports are separate from the furniture body. This means that when assembling the shelves, the shelves are placed to the required height, and then supported within the furniture body by assembling and connecting the shelf supports to the furniture body. During transportation, the shelves are very prone to falling off, damaging the cabinet. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to propose a shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture includes two folded edges that bend downwards and then inwards around the perimeter of the shelf. The structure includes a shelf adjustment plate installed within the furniture. The adjustment plate has stamped hooks; multiple hooks are arranged vertically. Each hook is formed by an upward-pointing insert plate that engages with insertion holes on the shelf. A gap exists between the insert plate and the adjustment plate for inserting the shelf. One side of the lower end of the insert plate has a limiting notch, creating space for the shelf to move relative to the adjustment plate after being hooked. The lower end face of the insert plate with the limiting notch forms a limiting surface for vertically limiting the shelf inserted into the hook. The other side of the lower end of the insert plate has a limiting step, the height of which is greater than the height of the limiting notch. The two outermost ends of the insert plate together form a limiting surface for limiting the shelf. The insertion holes on the shelf are located on the inwardly bent edges.

[0006] The insertion holes are located on the inwardly bent edges at both symmetrical ends of the shelf.

[0007] A method for using a shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture involves inserting the shelf into the insert plate of a hanging plate through the insertion hole, and moving it downward along the insert plate to the limiting notch of the insert plate. Then, the shelf is moved relative to the shelf adjustment plate along the limiting notch. After the shelf moves relative to the shelf adjustment plate to the root of the limiting notch, the shelf continues to move downward along the insert plate to the lower end of the insert plate. A limiting surface formed by the two outer end faces of the bottommost end of the insert plate limits the shelf, and a limiting surface formed by the lower end face of the insert plate with the limiting notch limits the shelf both vertically and horizontally.

[0008] The present invention proposes a shelf support and limiting structure and its usage method for metal sheet furniture. During the packaging and transportation of furniture, it can conveniently position the inner shelf of the furniture and ensure that it is not easy to fall off. It has the characteristics of novel and simple structural design and easy operation. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0018] A shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture, combined with Figure 3The shelf 4 has two folded edges that bend downwards and then inwards around its perimeter: a downward folded edge 4-1 and an inward folded edge 4-3; the shelf 4 has a insertion hole 4-2, and the insertion hole is located on the inward folded edge 4-3 of the shelf; the shelf support and limiting structure has a shelf adjustment plate set inside the furniture; such as Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the shelf adjustment plates 2 are arranged symmetrically in two sets, and the two sets of shelf adjustment plates 2 are respectively fixed to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the furniture; each set of shelf adjustment plates 2 consists of two plates; combined with Figure 1 The shelf adjustment plate 2 has stamped hooks 3; multiple hooks 3 are arranged vertically; combined with Figure 2 The hook 3 has an insert plate 3-1 extending upwards from its root, the root being the part that connects with the hook and the shelf adjustment plate; the insert plate 3-1 mates with the insert hole 4-2 on the shelf; there is a gap between the insert plate 3-1 and the shelf adjustment plate for inserting the shelf; the lower end of one side of the insert plate 3-1 has a limiting notch 3-3, which creates space for the shelf to move relative to the shelf adjustment plate after being hooked into the hook; the lower end face of the insert plate with the limiting notch 3-3 forms a limiting surface 3-4 for vertically limiting the shelf inserted into the hook; the lower end of the other side of the insert plate has a limiting step 3-2, the height H1 of the limiting notch is greater than the height H2 of the limiting step; the two lowermost end faces of the insert plate together constitute a limiting surface 3-5 for limiting the shelf.

[0019] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, a method of using a shelf support and limiting structure for metal sheet furniture involves inserting the shelf 4 into the insert plate 3-1 through the insertion hole 4-2 (e.g., Figure 6 As shown), and when it moves downward along the plug-in plate 3-1 to the limiting notch 3-3 of the plug-in plate (as shown), Figure 6-1 As shown), the layer 4 moves relative to the plug-in plate 3-1 along the limiting notch 3-3; refer to Figure 7 After the shelf plate moves relative to the shelf plate adjustment plate to the root of the notch along the limiting notch 3-3, the shelf plate 4 continues to move downward along the plug plate 3-1 to the lower end of the plug plate 3-1. The limiting surface 3-5 formed by the two end faces of the lowermost end of the plug plate 3-1 limits the shelf plate, and the limiting surface 3-4 formed by the lower end face of the plug plate with the notch limits the shelf plate both vertically and vertically.
