[0049] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0050] This application provides a storage device.

[0051] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 This application describes a storage device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] It should be noted that the storage device in this embodiment can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cases, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, refrigerated display cases, and refrigerated vending machines. The storage devices have diverse structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0053] As shown in the special instructions, please refer to... Figure 6 and further refer to Figure 7 In this application, the length direction of the shelf 20 is the X direction in the figure, which is the left-right direction of the storage device; the width direction of the shelf 20 is the Y direction in the figure, which is the front-back direction of the storage device; and the height direction of the shelf 20 is the Z direction in the figure, which is the up-down direction of the storage device.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage device includes: an inner liner 10, a shelf 20, a support 50, and a clamping device 60.

[0055] The inner liner 10 forms a compartment 11; the shelf 20 is installed in the compartment 11.

[0056] The compartment 11 is used for storing items, and the front of the compartment 11 has an opening for users to access items. The shape, size, and material of the inner liner 10 will vary depending on the purpose and design requirements of the compartment 11.

[0057] Shelves 20 are used to support items in layers. The shape, size and number of shelves 20 are adjusted according to the size of the room 11 and the storage needs.

[0058] The support member 50 is connected to the inner liner 10, the support member 50 protrudes toward the compartment 11, and the support members 50 are arranged in pairs to support the two ends of the shelf 20 respectively.

[0059] The connection method between the support member 50 and the inner liner 10 may include, but is not limited to, bolt connection, riveting, snap-fit ​​or integral molding, etc., and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0060] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the storage device includes two support members 50, which are connected to the left and right inner walls of the inner liner 10 respectively and protrude inward. Both support members 50 are located below the shelf 20 and are symmetrically arranged to horizontally and stably support the shelf 20.

[0061] The clamping device 60 includes a pressure cap 61, a base 62, and a plurality of grippers 63. The pressure cap 61 is connected to the shelf 20. The base 62 is slidably mounted on the pressure cap 61. The plurality of grippers 63 are spaced apart and pivotally mounted on the base 62. The input end of the grippers 63 is coupled to the pressure cap 61. The pressure cap 61 is configured to drive the grippers 63 to rotate when sliding toward the support member 50, so that the output end of the grippers 63 clamps the support member 50.

[0062] The shelf 20 is indirectly connected to the support member 50 through the clamping device 60. Specifically, when the clamping device 60 clamps the support member 50, the shelf 20 is fixed to the support member 50 by the clamping device 60.

[0063] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pressure cap 61 is used to mount the base 62 and drive the gripper 63 to rotate for clamping operations. The pressure cap 61 can be connected to the base 62 via a sliding mechanism, allowing the pressure cap 61 to slide within a certain range in a specific direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, to increase the maintainability of the clamping device 60, the cover 61 is made of a transparent material so that the user can observe the inside of the cover 61 at any time without disassembling it.

[0065] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, at least a portion of the base 62 is located inside the pressure cap 61 to achieve a sliding fit between the base 62 and the pressure cap 61, and at least a portion of the base 62 is located outside the pressure cap 61 to achieve the installation of multiple grippers 63. The multiple grippers 63 can be installed circumferentially spaced on the side wall of the base 62 by a pivoting mechanism, allowing the multiple grippers 63 to rotate within a certain range to achieve the opening and closing of the multiple grippers 63.

[0066] Wherein, "multiple" refers to two or more, for example, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 8 As shown, four grippers 63 are spaced apart and pivotally mounted on the base 62.

[0067] The gripper 63 is the part that directly contacts and clamps the support member 50. The input end of the gripper 63 is adapted to be poweredly connected to the pressure cap 61, and the output end of the gripper 63 is adapted to clamp the support member 50. The input end and the output end of the gripper 63 are located on both sides of the pivot node. When the pressure cap 61 slides toward the support member 50, the sliding stroke of the pressure cap 61 can be converted into the rotational stroke of the gripper 63, so as to realize the outward unfolding of the output end of the gripper 63.

[0068] In actual implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the installation process of the shelf 20 can be achieved as follows: First, the shelf 20 is fixedly connected to the cover 61 of the clamping device 60. Then, the shelf 20 with the clamping device 60 mounted on the bottom is pushed from the opening to the compartment 11 to the target position. Subsequently, the shelf 20 with the clamping device 60 mounted on the bottom is placed downward until the base 62 of the clamping device 60 descends to abut against the support member 50. After that, the base 62 no longer descends, that is, the height of the base 62 is fixed. The weight of the shelf 20 itself can continue to drive the cover 61 to descend. During the process of the cover 61 continuing to descend, the cover 61 slides relative to the base 62. Specifically, the position of the cover 61 relative to the base 62 continuously shifts downward. Based on the coupling connection between the input end of the jaw 63 and the cover 61, the downward pressing action of the cover 61 drives the input ends of multiple jaws 63 to rotate outward, thereby driving the output ends of multiple jaws 63 to rotate inward until the output ends of multiple jaws 63 clamp the support member 50. The disassembly process of shelf 20 can be achieved as follows: First, lift shelf 20, thereby driving the clamping device 60 connected to shelf 20 to rise. During the rising process of clamping device 60, the position of pressure cover 61 relative to base 62 continuously shifts upward, and the output ends of multiple claws 63 gradually unfold outward, thereby canceling the clamping force on support member 50 until base 62 and support member 50 no longer interfere with each other in the height direction of shelf 20. Finally, shelf 20 with clamping device 60 at the bottom can be pulled out of compartment 11.

[0069] The storage device provided in this application embodiment uses the clamping device 60 to fix the shelf 20 to the support member 50, which effectively reduces the risk of the shelf 20 shaking and falling off due to vibration or collision during transportation or use, thereby significantly improving the safety and stability of the storage device. In addition, the user only needs to place the shelf 20 in place, and the weight of the shelf 20 will automatically trigger the clamping device 60 to fix the shelf 20 and continuously drive the claw 63 to keep it in a clamped state. No additional tools or complicated operation steps are required, thereby greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of the shelf 20 installation process.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support member 50 includes a support plate 51 and a gripping part 52.

[0071] The support plate 51 is connected to the inner liner 10; the gripping part 52 protrudes from the support plate 51 toward the shelf 20, and the gripper 63 is adapted to grip the gripping part 52.

[0072] The support plate 51 can be a flat plate structure with its surface perpendicular to the height direction of the shelf 20. The support plate 51 provides a stable foundation for supporting the weight of the shelf 20 and the clamping device 60.

[0073] The connection method between the support member 50 and the inner liner 10 may include, but is not limited to, bolt connection, riveting, snap-fit ​​or integral molding, etc., and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0074] The gripping part 52 provides an easy target for the gripper 63 to hold, so that the gripper 63 can firmly grip the support 50 without damaging the support plate 51 or the gripper 63.

[0075] The gripping part 52 can be integrally formed with the support plate 51 by means of welding, casting, forging or machining, or it can be connected to the support plate 51 as a separate component by means of fasteners, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0076] The inner surface of the gripper 63 can match the outer surface of the gripping part 52. The shape of the gripping part 52 can be cylindrical, square, flat, or other shapes suitable for gripping by the gripper 63. This application does not limit this.

[0077] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, by setting the support member 50 as a structure composed of a support plate 51 and a gripping part 52, achieves a tight fit between the gripper 63 and the gripping part 52, enhances the firmness and reliability of the gripping, thereby increasing the connection strength between the shelf 20 and the support member 50, and further improving the stability of the shelf 20 after installation.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the gripping part 52 includes: a main body section 521 and a limiting boss 522.

[0079] The main body section 521 is connected to the support plate 51, and the gripper 63 abuts against the side wall of the main body section 521; the limiting boss 522 protrudes from the side wall of the main body section 521, and the limiting boss 522 is located at the end of the main body section 521 near the shelf 20. The gripper 63 and the limiting boss 522 have overlapping areas when projected along the height direction of the shelf 20.

[0080] The main body section 521 is used to connect the support plate 51 and the limiting boss 522. The limiting boss 522 is used to lock the gripper 63 to limit the movement of the gripper 63.

[0081] The main body segment 521 can be designed as a cylinder, frustum, prism or other shape, and the limiting boss 522 can be designed as a cube, ring or other shape, without any restrictions.

[0082] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the main body segment 521 is designed as a cylinder, and the limiting boss 522 is designed as a ring fitted onto the main body segment 521.

[0083] In other embodiments, the main body segment 521 is designed as a cylinder, and the limiting boss 522 is designed as a cube. Multiple cube-shaped limiting bosses 522 are spaced apart and protrude from the side wall of the main body segment 521.

[0084] Understandably, based on the fact that the gripper 63 abuts against the side wall of the main body section 521, the gripper 63 applies a certain compressive stress to the side wall of the main body section 521 under the self-weight of the shelf 20. When external disturbances cause the shelf 20 to have a tendency to move, the force between the gripper 63 and the side wall of the main body section 521 can prevent the shelf 20 from displacing. Furthermore, based on the fact that the orthographic projections of the gripper 63 and the limiting boss 522 along the height direction of the shelf 20 have an overlapping area, that is, the gripper 63 and the limiting boss 522 are matched and limited along the height direction of the shelf 20, when the shelf 20 has an upward tendency to move, a part of the gripper 63 overlaps with the side of the limiting boss 522 near the support plate 51. In other words, the limiting boss 522 stops in the moving path of the gripper 63, thereby further limiting the displacement of the shelf 20.

[0085] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, by setting the gripping part 52 as a structure composed of the main body section 521 and the limiting boss 522, restricts the gripper 63 to a fixed range when gripping the gripping part 52, limiting the excessive movement of the gripper 63, thereby reducing the risk of the shelf 20 falling off due to the gripper 63 sliding or dislodging, and thus maximizing the stability of the shelf 20.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, multiple gripping parts 52 are provided, and the multiple gripping parts 52 are spaced apart along the width direction of the shelf 20 and placed on the support plate 51.

[0087] Wherein, "multiple" refers to two or more, for example, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, two gripping parts 52 are provided. The two gripping parts 52 are spaced apart along the width direction of the shelf 20 and placed on the support plate 51. The two gripping parts 52 are respectively located near the two ends of the support plate 51 to achieve the best support effect. In this case, based on the pair arrangement of the support members 50, the four clamping devices 60 clamp the four gripping parts 52, thereby fixing the shelf 20 on the two support members 50.

[0088] It should be noted that the number of gripping parts 52 depends on the width and weight of the shelf 20 and the required stability. Wider shelves 20 or heavier loads may require more gripping parts 52 to provide sufficient support.

[0089] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned multiple spaced gripping parts 52, enables the shelf 20 to be supported in the entire width direction, which significantly improves the stability of the shelf 20. At the same time, the multi-point support design improves the load-bearing capacity of the shelf 20, reduces the burden on a single support point, and reduces the risk of deformation or damage to the shelf 20 due to excessive local stress because the force distribution is more uniform.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the storage device also includes: dividers 30.

[0091] The partition 30 is connected to the inner liner 10, the partition 30 protrudes toward the compartment 11, and the partition 30 is located on the side of the shelf 20 away from the opening of the compartment 11.

[0092] The baffle 30 is adapted to stop on the rear side of the shelf 20. The baffle 30 can be a baffle structure with the plate surface perpendicular to the width direction of the shelf 20.

[0093] The connection method between the baffle 30 and the inner liner 10 may include, but is not limited to, bolt connection, riveting, snap-fit ​​or integral molding, etc., and no restriction is imposed here.

[0094] The dimensions of the barrier 30 can be determined by taking into account actual needs and cost control, and this application does not impose any limitations on them.

[0095] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the area of ​​the front surface of the divider 30 is greater than the area of ​​the rear surface of the shelf 20, and the upper surface of the divider 30 is higher than the upper surface of the shelf 20, while the lower surface of the divider 30 is lower than the lower surface of the shelf 20.

[0096] Understandably, on the one hand, the design of the baffle 30 effectively limits the shelf 20 from sliding excessively inward during installation. Specifically, even if the user applies too much pushing force to the shelf 20 during installation, the shelf 20 will hit the baffle 30 instead of the inner liner 10 or other components, thus improving the safety of the shelf 20 during installation. On the other hand, the baffle 30 can provide positional indication for the user during the installation of the shelf 20. By observing and feeling the position of the baffle 30, the user can correctly install the shelf 20, enabling the shelf 20 to be accurately and quickly placed in the predetermined position during installation, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency.

[0097] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the above-mentioned divider 30, restricts the shelf 20 from sliding excessively inward during the installation process, thereby improving the safety of the shelf 20 during the installation process. At the same time, it can provide position indicators for users during the installation of the shelf 20, which helps to simplify the installation process and improve installation efficiency.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the baffles 30 are arranged in pairs, and the baffles 30 are used to stop the two ends of the respective stop shelf 20, and the baffles 30 are distributed at intervals from the back wall of the inner liner 10.

[0099] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage device includes two dividers 30, which are connected to the left and right inner walls of the inner liner 10 respectively and protrude inward. Both dividers 30 are positioned behind the shelf 20 and are symmetrically arranged.

[0100] Understandably, on the one hand, since the baffles 30 are set in pairs and used to stop the two ends of the shelf 20 respectively, when the user applies too much pushing force to the shelf 20 during installation, the rear ends of the shelf 20 will hit the two baffles 30 respectively. In this way, the pair of baffles 30 can limit both ends of the shelf 20 along its length, reducing the probability that the shelf 20 will hit the inner liner 10 or other components due to single-end limiting, further improving the safety of the shelf 20 during installation; on the other hand, considering The divider 30 is a cantilever structure with one end fixed to the inner liner 10 and the other end free. Therefore, when the shelf 20 hits the divider 30, the divider 30 will deform backward. Since the divider 30 and the back wall of the inner liner 10 are spaced apart, there is room for the divider 30 to deform. This prevents the deformed divider 30 from hitting the back wall of the inner liner 10, thereby minimizing the risk of the shelf 20 hitting the back wall of the inner liner 10, maintaining the integrity of the inner liner 10 as much as possible, and thus maximizing the safety and reliability of the storage equipment.

[0101] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the structural design of the above-mentioned pair of baffles 30 used to stop the two ends of the shelf 20, reduces the probability of one end of the shelf 20 hitting the inner liner 10 or other components due to single-end limitation, further improving the safety of the shelf 20 during installation. At the same time, by using the baffles 30 and the back wall of the inner liner 10 to be spaced apart, a space is left for the baffles 30 to deform, thereby minimizing the risk of the shelf 20 hitting the back wall of the inner liner 10, maintaining the integrity of the inner liner 10 as much as possible, and thus maximizing the safety and reliability of the storage device.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the clamping device 60 also includes a sliding member 64.

[0103] One of the pressure cap 61 and the base 62 is fixedly connected to the slider 64, and the other is provided with a groove 621 for sliding engagement with the slider 64.

[0104] In this embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pressure cap 61 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 64, and the base 62 is provided with a sliding groove 621.

[0105] In other embodiments, the base 62 is fixedly connected to the slider 64, and the cover 61 is provided with a groove 621.

[0106] Among them, the slider 64 can be, but is not limited to, a sliding shaft or a slider, and the groove 621 can be, but is not limited to, an oblong groove or a rectangular groove, etc. There are no restrictions here.

[0107] In actual implementation, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a through hole can be machined on the outer wall of the pressure cap 61, and a corresponding groove 621 can be machined on the outer wall of the base 62. A part of the base 62 can be inserted into the pressure cap 61 first. At this time, the through hole of the pressure cap 61 and the groove 621 of the base 62 can be arranged opposite to each other. The sliding member 64 passes through the through hole of the pressure cap 61 and the groove 621 of the base 62. The sliding member 64 can be transitionally fitted or interference-fitted with the through hole of the pressure cap 61, and the sliding member 64 can slide with the groove 621 to realize the relative sliding between the pressure cap 61 and the base 62.

[0108] The storage device provided in this application embodiment achieves a more stable and reliable sliding connection between the cover 61 and the base 62 through the cooperative design of the sliding member 64 and the sliding groove 621. This reduces friction and resistance during the sliding process, improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding, and allows for easy disconnection of the cover 61 and the base 62 by simply removing the sliding member 64 during maintenance. If the sliding member 64 or the sliding groove 621 is worn or damaged, it can be replaced relatively easily, making the cleaning and maintenance of the clamping device 60 simpler and more convenient.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pressure cap 61 has a first transmission ramp 611, and the input end of the gripper 63 has a second transmission ramp 631 for engaging with the first transmission ramp 611.

[0110] In this embodiment, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, both the first drive ramp 611 and the second drive ramp 631 are inclined towards the shelf 20 from one end near the base 62 to the end away from the base 62. In other words, both the first drive ramp 611 and the second drive ramp 631 are inclined upwards from the inside out. The input end of the gripper 63, that is, the part that contacts and is driven by the cover 61, is designed to have a second drive ramp 631 that matches the first drive ramp 611. The first drive ramp 611 and the second drive ramp 631 can be designed to correspond to each other in shape and inclination angle so that a smooth and effective transmission effect can be generated between the first drive ramp 611 and the second drive ramp 631. When the cover 61 slides along the slide groove 621 via the slider 64, the first drive ramp 611 will contact and interact with the second drive ramp 631, thereby pushing the gripper 63 to rotate about its pivot axis.

[0111] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the design of the first transmission inclined surface 611 and the second transmission inclined surface 631, makes the transmission between the pressure cover 61 and the gripper 63 more direct and efficient. When the pressure cover 61 slides, the pressure cover 61 can quickly transmit the force to the gripper 63 and drive the gripper 63 to rotate, thereby achieving the clamping of the support member 50, reducing energy loss and frictional resistance in the transmission process, improving the transmission efficiency of the entire clamping device 60, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the shelf 20 and speeding up the installation efficiency.

[0112] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the clamping device 60 also includes a first reset member 65.

[0113] The first reset member 65 is elastically connected between the base 62 and the gripper 63. The first reset member 65 is used to drive the output end of the gripper 63 to unfold outward.

[0114] The first reset element 65 can be designed as an elastic element, such as a spring, elastic sheet or elastic sleeve.

[0115] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first reset member 65 is a compression spring. Specifically, the first reset member 65 is elastically compressed between the output end of the gripper 63 and the base 62.

[0116] For example, in some other embodiments, the first reset member 65 is a tension spring, specifically, the first reset member 65 is elastically stretched between the input end of the gripper 63 and the base 62.

[0117] Multiple first reset members 65 are provided, and each of the multiple first reset members 65 corresponds to a multiple gripper 63. Here, "multiple" means two or more.

[0118] For example, in some embodiments, the clamping device 60 includes four corresponding grippers 63 and four first reset members 65.

[0119] In actual operation, without interfering with the normal operation of the gripper 63, the first reset member 65 can continuously provide elastic force to drive the output end of the gripper 63 to unfold outward. When the shelf 20 is not yet installed in the compartment 11, the output ends of the multiple grippers 63 can remain in the unfolded state to facilitate the clamping operation of the support member 50 during the subsequent installation of the shelf 20. When it is necessary to disassemble the shelf 20, the user can lift the shelf 20 to drive the clamping device 60 to rise. Once the force of the pressure cap 61 on the gripper 63 disappears, the first reset member 65 will automatically restore the gripper 63 to the unfolded state to facilitate the release of the support member 50.

[0120] It should be noted that the opening force provided by the first reset member 65 should be adjusted according to the self-weight of the shelf 20. During the design process, the magnitude of the opening force can be precisely controlled by adjusting parameters such as the elastic coefficient, length, and shape of the first reset member 65.

[0121] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the first reset member 65, eliminates the need for manual operation or an additional power source to drive the output end of the gripper 63 to unfold during the disassembly of the shelf 20, simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, under the elastic force of the first reset member 65, the output ends of the multiple grippers 63 can remain unfolded when idle, so as to facilitate the clamping operation of the support member 50 when installing the shelf 20.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the clamping device 60 also includes a second reset member 66.

[0123] The second reset member 66 is elastically connected between the pressure cap 61 and the base 62, and the second reset member 66 is used to drive the pressure cap 61 to slide toward the shelf 20.

[0124] The second reset element 66 can be designed as an elastic element, such as a spring, elastic sheet, or elastic sleeve.

[0125] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second reset member 66 is a compression spring, that is, the second reset member 66 is elastically compressed between the pressure cover 61 and the base 62.

[0126] Multiple second reset members 66 are provided, and multiple second reset members 66 and multiple grippers 63 can be arranged one-to-one relative to each other along the radial direction of the base 62, wherein multiple means two or more.

[0127] For example, in some embodiments, the clamping device 60 includes four jaws 63 and four second reset members 66, which can be arranged one-to-one with the four jaws 63 along the radial direction of the base 62.

[0128] In actual operation, when the user installs the shelf 20, the shelf 20 falls and drives the pressure cover 61 to descend. During the downward sliding process of the pressure cover 61 relative to the base 62, it needs to overcome the continuously increasing elastic force of the second reset member 66. After the user removes the shelf 20, as the compressive stress caused by the weight of the shelf 20 disappears, the second reset member 66 will automatically drive the pressure cover 61 to rise to return to the initial position, preparing for the next clamping action.

[0129] It should be noted that the elastic force provided by the second reset member 66 should be adjusted according to the self-weight of the shelf 20. During the design process, the magnitude of the elastic force can be precisely controlled by adjusting parameters such as the elastic coefficient, length, and shape of the second reset member 66.

[0130] The storage device provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the second reset member 66, allows the cover 61 to automatically rise to return to the initial position after the user removes the shelf 20, which improves the automation level of the clamping device 60, simplifies the operation process, improves the operation efficiency, and enables the clamping device 60 to maintain a good working condition after frequent use, thereby extending the working life of the clamping device 60.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the storage device also includes: threaded connector 40.

[0132] The pressure cap 61 has a first threaded structure, and the shelf 20 has a second threaded structure. The first threaded structure and the second threaded structure are connected by a threaded connector 40.

[0133] The threaded fastener 40 can be a nut, bolt, or other threaded fastener. Specifically, the selection of the threaded fastener 40 depends on the type and size of the first and second threaded structures, as well as the required connection strength.

[0134] The shelf 20 may include a shelf and a trim strip that wraps around the two sides of the shelf along its width. Specifically, the shelf may be made of materials including but not limited to glass, and the trim strip may be made of materials including but not limited to rigid plastic.

[0135] For example, the shelf can be a glass partition, a tempered glass partition, or an acrylic partition, etc.

[0136] In this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the pressure cap 61 may be provided with a first threaded structure, the shelf 20 may be provided with a second threaded structure, the top of the threaded connector 40 does not protrude from the upper surface of the shelf, both the first and second threaded structures may be threaded holes, and the threaded connector 40 may be a screw. The screw is screwed into the threaded hole on the shelf 20 and the threaded hole on the pressure cap 61 along the height direction of the shelf 20, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the pressure cap 61 and the clamping device 60.

[0137] It should be noted that the size of the shelf 20 varies depending on the storage equipment of different volumes. In actual design, the compatibility and universality of the clamping device 60 can be achieved simply by unifying the specifications of the second thread structure on various shelves 20.

[0138] The storage device provided in this application embodiment achieves a detachable connection between the cover 61 and the clamping device 60 through the use of the threaded connector 40. This increases the firmness and reliability of the connection between the cover 61 and the shelf 20, while facilitating disassembly and reinstallation, thereby improving the maintainability of the shelf 20.
