[0026] On the one hand, the present application provides a locking structure, including an inserting end arranged on a first body and an inserting slot arranged on a second body for mating with the inserting end. The inserting end is also provided with a clamping portion for clamping and fixing the first body and the second body.

[0027] On the other hand, the present application provides a storage rack, which is provided with a locking structure as any one of the above-mentioned ones, including a first storage rack with an accommodating space formed inside, the first storage rack including a vertically arranged support member and a frame body arranged at the upper and lower ends of the support member to form the basic shape of the first storage rack, and the support member and the frame body are connected by a locking structure.

[0028] Implementation example Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a storage rack includes a first storage rack 1 and a second storage rack 2 with a storage space formed therein, the second storage rack 2 is arranged at the upper end of the first storage rack 1, and the first storage rack 1 and the second storage rack 2 are connected by a locking structure. The first storage rack 1 and the second storage rack 2 contain detachable storage containers 3, such as boxes or drawers, which cooperate with them.

[0029] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a plug-in terminal 4 provided on the first main body and a plug-in slot 5 provided on the second main body to be plugged in with the plug-in terminal 4. A clamping portion 4.1 is fixedly provided on the side of the plug-in terminal 4 to enable the first main body and the second main body to be clamped and fixed, and a clamping hole 5.1 is provided on the side of the plug-in slot 5 to cooperate with the clamping portion 4.1.

[0031] Specifically, the support members 1.1 are distributed on the left and right sides of the first storage rack 1, the lower end of the support member 1.1 is provided with two plug-in terminals 4, the upper part of the support member 1.1 is provided with two plug-in terminals 4, the upper part of the left and right sides of the frame body 1.2 is provided with plug-in slots 5 that match the plug-in terminals 4 at the lower end of the support member 1.1, and the lower part of the left and right sides of the frame body 1.2 is provided with plug-in slots 5 that match the plug-in terminals 4 at the upper end of the support member 1.1. The support member 1.1 is locked with the frame body 1.2 through a locking structure.

[0032] Furthermore, the second storage rack 2 includes a side frame 2.1 arranged at the upper end of the first storage rack 1, and the side frame 2.1 is connected to the frame body 1.2 located at the upper end of the first storage rack 1 through a locking structure, thereby cooperating to form the second storage rack 2.

[0033] Specifically, a plug-in end 4 is provided at the lower end of the side frame 2.1, and the plug-in end 4 at the lower end of the side frame 2.1 is plugged and locked with a plug-in groove 5 at the upper part of the side of the frame body 1.2.

[0034] Furthermore, the second storage rack 2 is a single-layer structure and is detachably arranged on the upper end of the first storage rack 1, or the second storage rack 2 is a multi-layer structure and is detachably arranged on the upper end of the first storage rack 1. In the second storage rack 2 of the multi-layer structure, only the second storage rack 2 of the lowest layer is connected to the first storage rack 1, and the rest of the upper layers are detachably arranged. When the second storage rack 2 is a multi-layer structure, the upper end of the side frame 2.1 is also provided with a plug-in terminal 4 that cooperates with the plug-in slot 5 at the lower part of the frame body 1.2.

[0035] Furthermore, the storage container 3 is placed on the frame body 1.2, and the front and rear sides of the frame body 1.2 are respectively provided with inclined slopes or limit portions to prevent the storage container 3 from falling out.
