[0038] Figures 1 to 5 The overall structure of the storage rack 100 of the present application, the detailed form of each component and the connection mode thereof are shown in sequence, which facilitates understanding of the specific implementation mode and technical effect of the present application.
[0039] REFERENCE Figure 1, the figure shows a modular design of the shelf 100, which includes two side plates 110 with side plate ventilation holes 111 and side plate screw holes 112, used to support the shelf body and provide air flow. The bottom plate 150 and the layer plate 160 are inclinedly installed between the side plates 110, and the cans can be naturally rolled by gravity. The layer plate 160 is provided with a grid plate 170, which divides the storage space into a plurality of longitudinal compartments 173, ensuring that each can is independently stored, avoiding dumping and confusion. The front panel 140 is located at the front side of the shelf 100, with a label slot 141 for classifying and identifying different types or use dates of cans. The top cover plate 120 is detachably installed on the top of the side plate 110, used to cover the cans and prevent dust, while the back plate 130 is located at the rear of the shelf body to prevent the cans from sliding from the back. The overall structure is connected stably by screws (not shown in the figure), with simple and practical design, suitable for home or pet store, convenient for classifying management and accessing cans.
[0040] Referring to Figure 2 The edge of the top cover plate 120 is designed with a slightly protruding connecting block 121 to ensure that it is flatly attached to the side plate 110, thereby improving the overall stability and preventing the cans from shifting from the top when moving the shelf 100. In addition, the edge of the connecting block 121 is provided with a connecting block screw hole 122, which is convenient for fixed connection with the side plate 110 by screws. This structure not only ensures the firm installation of the top cover plate 120 during use, avoiding loosening, but also enhances the structural stability of the entire shelf 100.
[0041] The rear panel 190 is located at the rear side of the shelf and is connected with the two side plates.
[0042] The back plate 130 is designed as a rectangular flat plate, in the form of a thin rectangular plate, vertically matched with the top cover plate 120, the layer plate 160 and the side plate 110, forming a closed structure at the rear of the shelf 100. The back plate 130 is tightly installed between the side plate 110 and the layer plate 160, penetrating through the rear side of the entire shelf 100 from top to bottom, effectively preventing the cans from sliding out from the back when placed obliquely. In addition, the back plate 130 is slidably fixedly connected with the side plate 110, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly, and at the same time enhances the structural stability of the shelf 100.
[0043] Referring to Figure 3As can be seen from the drawings, the side plate 110 of the shelf 100 is designed not only to meet the needs of structural support, but also to achieve smooth rolling of cans and modular assembly of components through the inclined first guide groove 113 and the second guide groove 114. Specifically, the side plate 110 adopts a rectangular frame structure to ensure the stability of the overall structure, and two rectangular ventilation holes, side plate ventilation holes 111, are respectively formed in the upper and middle parts to maintain internal air circulation, avoid moisture accumulation, and prevent cans from being damp and deteriorated. The positions of the side plate ventilation holes 111 correspond to the upper and lower spaces divided by the layer plate 160, further optimizing the air circulation effect.
[0044] The first guide groove 113 and the second guide groove 114 are arranged inside the side plate 110, and both have different inclination angles. The first guide groove 113 forms a 4° angle with the horizontal direction and penetrates through the front end side of the side plate 110, and is used to accommodate the two ends of the layer plate 160. This slight inclination angle design ensures that the layer plate 160 is slightly inclined forward, so that the cans roll forward under the action of gravity, making it convenient for users to take out the cans from above the front panel 140. The second guide groove 114 forms a 9° angle with the horizontal direction and penetrates through the rear end side of the side plate 110, and is used to accommodate the two ends of the bottom plate 150. The larger inclination angle ensures that the bottom plate 150 does not loosen during installation, and cooperates with the overall shelf body to make the cans only roll forward, avoiding sliding to the rear of the shelf body.
[0045] At the same time, the third guide groove 114 extending in the vertical direction is used to slidably insert the back plate 130. This design not only facilitates assembly and disassembly, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the shelf 100. The distance L between the layer plate 160 and the back plate 130 is designed to be greater than the diameter of the cans, ensuring that under the inclination angle, the cans can smoothly pass through the gap between the layer plate 160 and the cans and fall on the bottom plate 150, avoiding excessive accumulation or blockage of the cans.
[0046] The top, bottom and vicinity of the first guide groove 113 and the second guide groove 114 of the side plate 110 are provided with screws and blocking strip grooves 118 for firmly connecting the side plate 110 with the top cover plate 120, the front panel and the rear panel, further enhancing the stability of the shelf body.
[0047] Further, the side plate 110 also includes a detachable fixing structure for multiple shelves when stacked. The side plate 110 also includes a front panel receiving groove 119 located at the upper part of the side plate, which is used to embed and fix the bottom of the front panel 140 when multiple shelves are stacked. The bottom of the side plate 110 also includes a front panel mounting groove 117, the longitudinal height of which is less than the height of the front panel 140, so that the bottom of the front panel 140 protrudes from the shelf body bottom side 1200 after installation. The bottom of the side plate 110 also includes a rear panel receiving groove 116 located at the upper part of the rear end of the side plate, which is used to embed and fix and support the bottom of the rear panel 190. The longitudinal height of the rear panel mounting groove 1100 is also less than the overall height of the rear panel, so that the rear panel 190 protrudes from the bottom of the side plate 110 after installation, facilitating stacking.
[0048] Referring to Figure 4 The grid plate 170 is overall in a rounded rectangular shape, with smooth edges that effectively reduce friction and jamming when the cans are rolling. The grid plate 170 has a slotted opening 172 in the middle, with a grid plate clamping block 171 inside, which is connected to the groove 161 provided on the layer plate 160, ensuring that the grid plate 170 can be firmly inserted and fixed on the layer plate 160. The width of the slotted opening 172 is precisely designed to match the thickness of the layer plate 160, further enhancing the stability of the connection. The modular design allows the grid plate 170 to be flexibly combined with multiple layer plates 160, serving as a longitudinal separator to divide the can storage space into multiple independent tracks or compartments, facilitating classification and management. In addition, the structure of the grid plate 170 facilitates quick installation and disassembly, and users can easily adjust the position of the grid plate 170 according to actual needs, thereby flexibly managing different types of cans. Through the above design, the grid plate 170 not only improves the organization and classification ability of the shelf 100, but also enhances the flexibility of the overall structure and the convenience of user operation, ensuring that cat cans can be stored and retrieved in an orderly and convenient manner.
[0049] Referring to Figure 5As shown in the middle, the layer plate 160 is designed with the following structural features: the layer plate 160 adopts a rectangular plate structure, which is rectangular and tightly matched with the first guide rail groove 113 arranged in the side plate 110, serving as the support surface for can storage. Its size is designed to ensure that the layer plate 160 can be installed obliquely, allowing the cans to roll smoothly under the action of gravity. In addition, the layer plate 160 is uniformly arranged with a plurality of longitudinal slotted layer plate longitudinal slots 161, which are used to insert the grid plate 170, dividing the space of the layer plate 160 into multiple independent tracks, each corresponding to a column of can storage space, effectively preventing cans from interfering with each other or toppling over during storage. The slotted design of the layer plate 160 supports modular cooperation, allowing users to flexibly adjust the position of the grid plate 170, change the width and number of storage tracks, and adapt to different sizes or types of cans. Through the first guide rail groove 113, the layer plate 160 is connected with the side plate 110 and maintains a 4° oblique angle, ensuring that the cans can roll forward along the layer plate 160, facilitating user access. The layer plate 160 is connected with the grid plate 170 through the anti-slip stop bar 180, ensuring that the cans will not slide out during use due to movement or tilting. In summary, the structural design of the layer plate 160 not only provides a solid support surface and effective storage separation, but also realizes convenient access and safe storage of cans, improving the practicality and user experience of the overall shelf 100.
[0050] The process of installing the shelf 100 by the user is as follows: first, the top cover plate 120 is fixedly connected with the two side plates 110 through screws. Then, the front plate 140 and the back plate 130 are also connected with the two side plates 110 through screws. Then, the layer plate 160 is connected with the grid plate 170, and the connected layer plate 160 and grid plate 170 are inserted into the stop bar groove 118 on the side plate 110. Then, the first guide rail groove 113 is entered, and the stop bar 180 is installed on the layer plate 160 to ensure stable storage of the cans. Next, the bottom plate 150 is inserted into the second guide rail groove 114 on the two side plates 110. Finally, the back plate 130 is inserted into the third guide rail groove 115, completing the assembly of the entire shelf 100. Through the above steps, the user can quickly and stably assemble a complete shelf 100, ensuring that its structure is stable and fully functional.
[0051] When a user uses the shelf 100 of the present application, first, the cat cans are rolled into the layer plate 160 from the space entrance above the layer plate 160 separated by the grid plate 170. Since the layer plate 160 is designed at an inclined angle, the cat cans will roll in the direction of the back plate 130 under the action of gravity. When the cans pass through the space between the layer plate 160 and the back plate 130, they will smoothly fall above the bottom plate 150 installed at an inclination. Since the bottom plate 150 is also in an inclined state, the cans will continue to roll along the bottom plate 150 to the front plate 140 and be guided by the pointing mark of the label slot 141. If the bottom layer of cat cans has been filled, new cans will gradually accumulate to the upper layer, ensuring that all cans can be stored in order and easily accessed. This design not only improves the efficiency of accessing cans, but also effectively prevents the mixing and accumulation of cans, improving the user's experience and the overall practicality of the shelf 100.
[0052] With reference to Figure 6 When a user uses the shelf 100 of the present application, the cat can shelf adopts a modular stacking design, providing flexible expandability to adapt to the needs of various storage scenarios. Users can flexibly adjust the number of layers of the shelf body according to the quantity and variety of pet food, and vertically stack multiple module units through screw holes or buckles, thereby achieving efficient storage management. This design not only makes full use of vertical space, significantly improving space utilization, but also ensures that the overall shelf body after stacking has good ventilation and stability. In addition, the top cover plate provides additional dust protection, further protecting the quality of the cans. The modular structure allows the shelf to be disassembled at any time, making it easy to transfer and adjust the layout of the shelf body, suitable for daily use in homes and pet stores. The overall design is stable and well-ventilated, greatly improving the user's experience and the practicality of the shelf.
[0053] The present application provides a structure reasonable, function perfect's storage rack 100, aims at solving the existing technology in poor ventilation, classification is inconvenient, can easily roll and the structure is not stable and so on. The storage rack 100 is through the modular design, the reasonable layout of the inclined first guide rail groove 113 and the second guide rail groove 114 and the rectangular ventilation hole side plate ventilation hole 111, realizes the orderly storage and convenient access of cat can. Specifically, the rectangular frame structure of side plate 110 cooperates with the first guide rail groove 113 and the second guide rail groove 114 of different inclination angles, ensures that the can rolls smoothly under the action of gravity;The modular cooperation design of the grid plate 170 effectively separates the storage space, facilitates classification management;The reasonable spacing between the layer plate 160 and the back plate 130 and the setting of the anti-skid baffle 180, further improve the stability and use safety of the storage rack 100. In addition, the label slot 141 design of the front panel 140 and the dustproof function of the top cover plate 120, significantly improve the use efficiency and the fresh-keeping effect of the can. The overall design not only improves the practicability and user experience of the storage rack 100, but also has good expansibility, can flexibly adapt to the storage requirements of different number and size of cat cans, has broad market application prospect.
