Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of logistics, in particular to a foldable shelf. Background Art

[0002] Early racks were relatively simple, typically constructed of wood or metal. Their primary function was to provide a platform for storing items. Shelves, a crucial tool for warehouse modernization and efficiency improvement, are structures used to store and display items. In industrial and storage environments, such as warehouses and logistics centers, they are primarily used to store and manage inventory, making them an essential tool in modern industrial warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution centers.

[0003] In the prior art, the segmented shelves used in warehouses are generally composed of multiple shelves. The combination of existing segmented shelves is relatively cumbersome and difficult to disassemble, which makes it difficult to replace or repair damaged shelves. In addition, the existing segmented shelves are generally not foldable, which makes it difficult to store the shelves when they are idle, which is not conducive to improving the space utilization rate of the warehouse. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a foldable shelf to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0005] A foldable shelf includes a longitudinal beam structure and a transverse beam structure. The transverse beam structure includes a support frame and a cargo board. A hinge is provided in the middle of the cargo board, and the cargo board can be folded along the hinge. The cargo board is rotatably mounted on the longitudinal beam structure through a movable shaft, and the support frame is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the cargo board.

[0006] Furthermore, a magnetic portion for cooperating with the support frame is provided at the lower end of the cargo plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam structure includes four columns, each of which is provided with a fixed position, and two oppositely arranged columns are connected and matched with each other through a connecting buckle.

[0008] Furthermore, an opening slot is provided on the connecting buckle.

[0009] Furthermore, a support base for accommodating the support frame is provided on the column.

[0010] Furthermore, a universal wheel is provided at the lower end of the column.

[0011] The utility model provides a hinge in the middle of the cargo board to realize the function of folding and storing the cargo board, so as to improve the space utilization rate when the shelf is idle. A support frame is added at the lower end of the cargo board to provide the cargo board with load-bearing capacity, and the support frame can be rotatably stored between the columns. In this way, the load-bearing capacity is not affected, and the contraction and folding of the cargo board are not affected, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0018] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.

[0019] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The specific implementation thereof is a foldable shelf, which includes a longitudinal beam structure and a transverse beam structure. The transverse beam structure includes a support frame 3 and a cargo board 1. The middle part of the cargo board 1 is connected by a hinge 6, and the two sides of the cargo board 1 are rotatably installed on the longitudinal beam structure through a movable shaft 5, so that the cargo board 1 can be folded along the hinge 6.

[0020] Furthermore, the support frame 3 is installed on the longitudinal beam structure, which includes four columns 2. The columns 2 are provided with a support base 4 for accommodating the support frame 3. The support frame 3 is rotatably installed in the support frame 3 through a movable shaft 5, so that the support frame 3 can be stored between the columns 2 on the same side.

[0021] Furthermore, a magnetic attraction portion 12 cooperating with the support frame 3 is provided at the lower end of the cargo board 1, and a magnet is provided on the magnetic attraction portion 12. The support frame 3 uses a magnetically attractive material. When using the shelf, the support frame 3 needs to be pushed to the lower end of the cargo board 1 to provide sufficient supporting force for the cargo board 1. In order to avoid the support frame 3 hitting the support base 4 and bouncing back when being pushed out, resulting in the support frame 3 being unable to be positioned at the optimal position, the magnet of the magnetic attraction portion 12 can absorb the pushed-out support frame 3, so that the support frame 3 will not rebound, thereby solving the problem that the support frame 3 cannot be positioned.

[0022] Furthermore, the support base 4 is arranged on the column 2, and the support base 4 on the column 2 on the same side adopts an inside-outside staggered design. When the support frame 3 is stored, the support frame 3 with the base on the outside is retracted first and then the support frame 3 on the inside is retracted. Therefore, the support frames 3 on both sides will not affect each other when stored, and will not affect the folding of the cargo board 1 after being stored.

[0023] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam structure includes four columns 2, and a fixed position 8 is provided on the column 2. The fixed position 8 is fixed to the column 2 through a threaded connection. The connecting buckle 7 is rotatably mounted on the column 2 through the fixed position 8. The connecting buckle 7 is provided with an open groove 9, so that when the shelf is folded, the two relatively arranged columns 2 are connected with the fixed position 8 through the open groove 9, thereby achieving a fixing effect after folding.

[0024] Furthermore, when multiple shelves are used in combination, the fixed position 8 can be removed according to the on-site situation, and the direction of the opening groove 9 on the connecting buckle 7 can be customized so that the connecting buckle 7 cooperates with the fixed position 8 of the adjacent shelf when connected to the adjacent shelf, thereby realizing the combined use of the shelves.

[0025] Furthermore, a wheel base 10 is provided at the bottom of the column 2, and two universal wheels 11 with brakes are installed on the wheel base 10. The design of the two universal wheels 11 effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the shelf, and it is not easy for the universal wheels 11 to be crushed due to heavy goods. It is also convenient for the movement of the shelf and the shelf can be folded and unfolded by directly pushing and pulling the column 2. The brake can ensure that the universal wheels 11 are stable and will not slide when the shelf is in use.

[0026] Furthermore, when the shelf is in use, the columns 2 are pulled apart to the sides to unfold the cargo board 1, and the support frame 3 is pushed out. The magnetic part 12 attracts the support frame 3 to fix the support frame 3 at the optimal support point. The support frame 3 will support the cargo board 1 at the lower end of the cargo board 1 to provide the cargo board 1 with load-bearing capacity. When the shelf is stored, the support frame 3 is retracted to both sides of the shelf, and the cargo board 1 will tilt downward due to gravity. The shelf can be retracted by simply moving the columns 2 on one side closer to the other side.

[0027] The utility model realizes the function of folding and storing the cargo board 1 by arranging a hinge 6 in the middle of the cargo board, so as to improve the space utilization rate when the shelf is idle. A support frame 3 is added to the lower end of the cargo board 1 to provide the cargo board 1 with load-bearing capacity, and the support frame can be rotatably stored between the columns 2. In this way, the load-bearing capacity is not affected, and the contraction and folding of the cargo board 1 are not affected, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the above-disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present invention, which do not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
