[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a foldable storage rack, which has a folded state and an unfolded state. The folded state refers to the state after the storage rack is folded (refer to Figure 2 ), the unfolded state refers to the state after the shelf is unfolded (refer to Figure 1 ). That is to say, the storage rack of the present application can be switched from an unfolded state to a folded state, and also from a folded state to an unfolded state, without the need to disassemble or reassemble the storage rack when folding or unfolding, thereby realizing the quick folding and storage or unfolding use of the storage rack, which is more convenient to use.

[0036] Specifically, the foldable storage rack includes a support frame 10 and a storage plate 20. The support frame 10 includes a first frame body 11 and a second frame body 12. The upper end of the second frame body 12 is rotatably connected to the first frame body 11 so that the second frame body 12 can be rotated and switched between a folded state and an unfolded state relative to the first frame body 11. The storage plate 20 is rotatably connected to the first frame body 11. When the foldable storage rack is in the unfolded state, an angle a of less than 90 degrees is formed between the second frame body 12 and the first frame body 11, and one side of the storage plate 20 overlaps the second frame body 12. When the foldable storage rack is in the folded state, the second frame body 12 and the storage plate 20 are both flush with the first frame body 11.

[0037] For example, the first frame 11, the second frame 12, and the storage plate 20 are all made of plastic to effectively reduce manufacturing costs. Furthermore, it should be noted that the plastic material used to make the first frame 11, the second frame 12, and the storage plate 20 must have good compressive strength to ensure sufficient support when carrying items and prevent the items from falling.

[0038] For example, the upper end of the second frame 12 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11 so that the second frame 12 can rotate relative to the first frame 11, thereby allowing the second frame 12 to move away from the first frame 11, thereby supporting the storage board 20 when the storage rack is unfolded, preventing items from falling after being placed on the storage board 20, and when the storage rack is folded, the second frame 12 can be stored to a position parallel to the first frame 11, facilitating the quick folding and storage of the storage rack.

[0039] For example, when the storage rack is in the unfolded state, an angle a is formed between the second frame 12 and the first frame 11, and the angle value of the angle a is limited to less than 90 degrees. This allows the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 to form a triangular shape, ensuring greater stability during use and less likely to wobble, thereby preventing items placed on the storage plate 20 from falling. In addition, it should be noted that after the second frame 12 rotates to the maximum angle relative to the first frame 11, it is necessary to use a limiter to limit its rotation. This ensures that the support frame 10 composed of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 has better stability.

[0040] When the rack is folded, the upper end of the second frame 12 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11 so that the second frame 12 can be rotated relative to the first frame 11, and the storage plate 20 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11. When the rack is needed, the second frame 12 is pulled outward so that the second frame 12 is rotated from a position parallel to the first frame 11 to a restricted position. At this time, an angle a less than 90 degrees is formed between the second frame 12 and the first frame 11, and then the storage plate 20 is rotated so that one side of the storage plate 20 overlaps the second frame 12, thereby fully unfolding to form the rack; when the rack needs to be folded, the storage plate 20 is first rotated to a position parallel to the first frame 11 so that the storage plate 20 falls off the support of the second frame 12, and then the second frame 12 is pushed back to the first frame 11, thereby realizing rapid folding of the rack. The foldable storage rack can be quickly switched between a folded state and an unfolded state, and there is no need to disassemble or reassemble the storage rack when folding or unfolding. The storage rack can be quickly folded for storage or unfolded for use, making it more convenient to use.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, the angle a is between 30° and 45° (inclusive). Limiting the angle a to this range can make the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 more stable during use and less likely to shake.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the first frame 11 includes two symmetrically arranged first support bars 111, each with a storage area formed on its facing surface. The second frame 12 includes two second support bars 121, the upper ends of which are pivotally connected to the upper portions of the first support bars 111, respectively. When the foldable storage rack is folded, the second support bars 121 are stored in corresponding storage cavities 111a. Thus, by pivotally connecting the upper ends of the second support bars 121 to the upper portions of the first support bars and providing the storage cavities 111a on the first frame 11, the second frame 12 can be completely stored within the storage cavities 111a when the rack is folded, achieving better folding storage and reducing space usage. When the rack is needed, the second frame 12 can be quickly switched to the unfolded state by simply pulling it out of the storage cavities 111a and rotating the storage plate 20 to a horizontal position. This eliminates the need for manual reassembly, making it more convenient to use.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, a support bar 30 is further included. The support bar 30 spans between the two second bracket bars 121, and the two ends of the support bar 30 are respectively fixedly connected to the two second bracket bars 121. A card slot 22 is provided on the lower surface of the storage board 20. When the foldable storage rack is in the unfolded state, the support bar 30 is snapped into the card slot 22 to support the storage board 20. In this way, by fixing the support bar 30 spanning between the two second bracket bars 121 and correspondingly providing the card slot 22 on the lower surface of the storage board 20, when the storage board 20 is rotated to the horizontal state, the card slot 22 of the storage board 20 is clamped with the support bar 30, which can not only support the storage board 20 to prevent the storage board 20 from flipping over and falling after the items are placed, but also limit the movement of the storage board 20, thereby having better stability.

[0044] It should be noted that when folding the storage rack, the storage plate 20 is first rotated to a position parallel to the first frame 11, so that the second frame 12 can be stored on the first frame 11. If the second frame 12 is folded first and then the storage plate 20 is rotated, the second frame will not be able to rotate during rotation due to interference of the support bar by the slot on the storage plate, thereby affecting the normal folding of the storage rack.

[0045] In a possible embodiment, the width of the slot 22 is equal to or greater than the width of the support bar 30. In this way, it is ensured that the support bar 30 can be clamped into the slot 22 for clamping.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, a shaft 40 extends outward from the storage area, and a through-hole 121a is defined at the upper end of the second support bar 121 to mate with the shaft 40. Thus, by aligning the through-hole 121a of the second support bar 121 with the shaft 40 and pushing the second support bar 121 toward the first support bar 111, the shaft 40 engages with the through-hole 121a, thereby enabling the second support bar 121 to rotate relative to the first support bar 111. This provides a simple structure and facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, a connecting shaft 50 is provided on the inner wall of the first support bar 111. Extensions 23 extend outward from both ends of the storage plate 20. The extensions 23 define connection holes 23a for connecting to the connecting shaft 50. This allows the storage plate 20 to be rotatably connected between the two first support bars 111, resulting in a simple structure and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0048] In a possible embodiment, the end surface of the bottom end of the first bracket bar 111 is flat, which is beneficial to increase the contact area between the first bracket and the contact surface (such as a desktop), so that the first bracket can be placed more stably.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, the upper surface of the storage plate 20 is provided with a recessed position 21 for placing items. In this way, some high-frequency items, such as fruit knives, peeling knives, etc., can be stored to facilitate the storage and access of items.

[0050] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
