Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of home furnishing connectors, in particular to a multi-purpose hidden shelf support. Background Art

[0002] The shelf support is a key connector used to support horizontal shelves in furniture manufacturing. Its core function is to provide stable support between the vertical side panels on both sides of the cabinet, suspend the shelf at a predetermined height, and bear the entire weight of the shelf and its loads.

[0003] Traditional shelf installation relies on exposed metal brackets or embedded bolt structures, which have the following problems: Operational complexity: The bolt structure requires precise alignment of the shelf and side panels, and the installation process requires repeated debugging; Single function: Existing hidden connectors are mostly only suitable for conventional panels and are not compatible with special materials such as glass;

[0004] Inconvenient disassembly: Most embedded structures require tools for disassembly, and repeated disassembly and assembly can easily lead to thread slippage or loose holes.

[0005] In response to the above problems, a layer support plate that is beautiful, convenient and quick to install, and adaptable to different panels is designed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-purpose hidden shelf support, which solves the technical problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a multi-purpose hidden shelf support, comprising:

[0008] Layer embedded parts: used to be embedded and fixed on the side of the layer;

[0009] Side panel embedded parts: used for embedding and fixing on the side panels;

[0010] Elastic reset mechanism: composed of a spring and a tongue slidably mounted on the side panel embedded part, the tongue being elastically connected to the side panel embedded part through the spring, and under normal conditions, the tongue partially protruding from the side panel embedded part under the action of the spring force;

[0011] Soft pad: fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the tongue;

[0012] Wherein, the layer plate embedded part is provided with a notch for accommodating the end of the tongue;

[0013] The shelf support has two working modes;

[0014] Hidden snap-in mode: When installing a shelf with the shelf embedded parts, lift the shelf upwards to squeeze the tongue so that it overcomes the elastic force of the spring and retracts into the side panel embedded parts until the notch of the shelf embedded parts is aligned with the tongue. The tongue pops out under the action of the spring and snaps into the notch, locking the shelf in the installation position. At this time, the tongue, spring and side panel embedded parts are completely hidden between the shelf and side panels and cannot be seen.

[0015] External support mode: When installing the glass shelf, the glass shelf is directly placed on the cushion, and is supported by the tongue and cushion exposed outside.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic reset mechanism is specifically as follows: the rear end of the tongue is inserted into the side panel embedded part, and the spring is arranged between the rear end of the tongue and the inner wall of the side panel embedded part.

[0017] Preferably, the soft pad is a gasket made of a flexible material and is fixed to the upper surface of the tongue by gluing or snapping.

[0018] Preferably, the layer plate embedded parts are fixedly installed by being embedded in holes preset on the side of the layer plate.

[0019] Preferably, the side panel embedded parts are fixedly installed by being embedded in preset holes of the side panel.

[0020] Preferably, the method comprises the following steps:

[0021] (S1) Punch holes on the side of the layer board and install and fix the embedded parts of the layer board;

[0022] (S2) The tongue is retractably mounted on the side panel embedded part via a spring;

[0023] (S3) fixing the soft pad on the upper surface of the tongue to form a combination;

[0024] (S4) Punching holes in the side panels, and fixing the assembly formed in step (S3) on the side panels.

[0025] Preferably, the installation method is: lift the layer with the layer embedded part from the bottom of the tongue, and the layer or the layer embedded part squeezes the tongue so that it overcomes the spring force and retracts into the side panel embedded part; continue to lift the layer until the notch of the layer embedded part is aligned with the tongue, at which time the squeezing disappears, and the tongue pops out and fits into the notch under the action of the spring, supporting and fixing the layer to achieve hidden installation; disassembly method: lift the layer upward, and the layer or the layer embedded part squeezes the tongue so that it overcomes the spring force and retracts into the side panel embedded part; continue to lift the layer until it is completely out of the range of action of the tongue, and then the layer can be removed.

[0026] Beneficial effects

[0027] This invention provides a multi-purpose concealed shelf support. This design significantly optimizes the installation experience of furniture shelves through its integrated elastic snap-fit ​​and support design. When used with conventional wooden shelves, it is completely concealed within the panel, eliminating the visual impact of exposed hardware and achieving a simple and aesthetically pleasing assembly. When switching to glass shelves, the exposed components can be directly utilized to provide stable support, eliminating the need for additional modification. Both modes are achieved through a single structure, requiring no tools. This reduces installation complexity, improves compatibility with shelves of different materials, and ensures ease of disassembly and maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0052] The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process. The specific operations are as follows.

[0053] Example: 1. Structural composition

[0054] Shelf embedded parts: Made of metal (such as aluminum alloy), in the shape of a rectangular block, with a rectangular notch (3mm deep, 8mm wide) on one side, fixed to the Φ10mm hole pre-drilled on the side of the wooden shelf by self-tapping screws.

[0055] Side panel embedded parts: stainless steel rectangular sleeve (outer diameter 12mm×15mm) with internal slide groove, fixed to the Φ12mm mounting hole of the side panel (such as the vertical panel of the cabinet) through expansion bolts.

[0056] Elastic reset mechanism:

[0057] Tongue-shaped component: Made of nylon 66, with a sloped supporting surface at the front end (inclination angle of 30°) and a spring slot at the rear end, the whole is embedded in the slide groove of the side panel embedded part.

[0058] Spring: Stainless steel compression spring (wire diameter 0.8mm, free length 15mm), one end of which presses against the rear end slot of the tongue-shaped component, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the side panel embedded part.

[0059] Soft cushioning pad: 2mm thick silicone pad with anti-slip texture on the surface, adhered to the upper surface of the tongue-shaped component with double-sided tape.

[0060] 2. Installation Process

[0061] Embedded laminate components:

[0062] Drill a Φ10mm hole 20mm away from the end face of the wooden layer (thickness 18mm), knock the layer embedded parts into the hole, and tighten with screws.

[0063] Assembling the elastic mechanism:

[0064] Place the spring inside the embedded part of the side panel, insert the rear end of the tongue-shaped part into the slide slot and compress the spring, then rotate 90° to lock the position.

[0065] Attaching cushioning pad:

[0066] Cut the silicone pad to cover the top surface of the tongue and press it down to ensure a secure bond.

[0067] Fixed side panel assembly:

[0068] Drill a Φ12mm hole at a preset height on the side panel (such as the cabinet vertical panel) and embed the assembled side panel embedded components into the hole.

[0069] Two working mode demonstrations

[0070] Mode 1: Hidden lock mode (for wooden laminates)

[0071] Install:

[0072] Hold the shelf with embedded shelf parts, place its bottom against the slope of the tongue-shaped part and lift it up.

[0073] The lower edge of the layer plate embedded part squeezes the slope of the tongue-shaped component, forcing the tongue-shaped component to retract into the side plate embedded part (the spring is compressed to 10mm).

[0074] Continue to lift the shelf until the notch of the shelf embedded part is aligned with the front end of the tongue-shaped component (the notch is 5 mm away from the bottom edge of the shelf).

[0075] The spring releases the thrust, the tongue-shaped part pops out instantly and snaps into the notch, and the shelf is locked ( Figure 1 ).

[0076] Effect:

[0077] The gap between the layer and the side panel is ≤1mm, and the tongue-shaped components, springs and embedded parts are completely hidden and invisible.

[0078] Mode 2: External support mode (for glass shelves)

[0079] Install:

[0080] Place the 6mm thick tempered glass shelf directly onto the silicone pad of the tongue.

[0081] The glass shelf compresses the silicone pad under its own weight (deformation 0.5mm), and the sloped surface of the tongue-shaped component provides support.

[0082] Effect:

[0083] The exposed height of the tongue-shaped part is 8mm, the silicone pad effectively prevents slipping and shock absorption, and the glass layer is displayed without obstruction ( Figure 2 ).

[0084] 4. Disassembly operation (taking wooden laminate as an example)

[0085] Hold the shelf with both hands and apply upward force, squeeze the tongue-shaped part along the lower edge of the notch of the shelf embedded part to retract it into the side panel embedded part.

[0086] When the layer plate rises until the notch is completely out of the action range of the tongue-shaped component (lifting height>15mm), the layer plate is directly removed by horizontal movement.
