Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home furnishing technology, specifically to a structure for connecting shelves and columns in a wardrobe with columns. Background Technology
[0002] A walk-in closet with uprights typically consists of shelves and uprights on both sides. The uprights have hollow sections inside, and straight grooves are evenly spaced along their length on the sides. Brackets are installed within these grooves, and the shelves are fixedly connected to the upper side of the brackets. The bracket design includes support blocks and support plates. The support plate is mounted on the top surface of the support block, and an angle is formed between the support block and the support plate. One side of the support plate has a limit latch, and the other side has a column fixing section. The limit latch engages with a positioning port, allowing the bracket to be fixed to the upright.
[0003] However, the existing technology for building-supported cloakrooms has the following drawbacks regarding the middle shelf and the support columns:
[0004] Load-bearing problems caused by excessive span: The width between the two columns should not exceed 800mm. If the span is too large, the shelves and clothes rods will be too long, and the load-bearing force will be too great. Over time or when the weight is too heavy, the shelves and clothes rods will sag.
[0005] The excessive number of connectors leads to installation complexity: Traditional column-supported wardrobes use a splicing method for connection, and there are many connectors between the panels. During installation, it is easy to cause connection errors, and the installation process is complicated, affecting the assembly efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, the inventors designed a shelf-to-column connection structure for a walk-in closet with columns to meet the needs of the growing home furnishing industry. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a shelf-to-column connection structure for a walk-in closet, including a walk-in closet 1. Multiple vertically arranged columns 2 are fixedly installed inside the walk-in closet 1. Shelves 3 are installed between two horizontally adjacent columns 2. The shelves 3 are connected to the columns 2 via first connecting components 4 and second connecting components 5. The second connecting components 5 are installed on the side columns 2, and the first connecting components 4 are installed on the remaining columns 2. A partition glass 6 is installed between two vertically adjacent first connecting components 4 and two vertically adjacent second connecting components 5. In this embodiment, there are six horizontally arranged columns 2 and two vertically arranged columns 2. The second connecting components 5 are installed on the four columns 2 on both sides, and the first connecting components 4 are installed on the remaining eight columns 2. Each shelf 3 is connected and installed with four first connecting components 4 or two first connecting components 4 and two second connecting components 5.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the first connecting assembly 4 includes a mounting sleeve 41, a metal connecting bracket 42, and a connecting sleeve 46. The mounting sleeve 41 is fitted onto the outside of the column 2. A first mounting slot 22 is horizontally formed on the column 2, through which the mounting sleeve 41 is connected. A second mounting slot 411 is formed on the mounting sleeve 41, communicating with the first mounting slot 22. The metal connecting bracket 42 passes through the first mounting slot 22 and the second mounting slot 411 and is connected and fixed to the column 2. Both ends of the metal connecting bracket 42 are connectors 421. The connecting sleeve 46 is installed on the side wall of the shelf 3, and the connectors 421 of the metal connecting bracket 42 are aligned and inserted into the connecting sleeve 46. The second connecting assembly 5 has the same structure as the first connecting assembly 4. Similarly, the metal connecting frame 42 in the second connecting assembly 5 is only provided with one connector 421. During installation, the mounting sleeve 41 is first fitted onto the outside of the column 2, so that the mounting sleeve 41 is moved to the first mounting through groove 22. The second mounting through groove 411 is aligned with the first mounting through groove 22. Then, the metal connecting frame 42 is passed through the second mounting through groove 411 and the first mounting through groove 22 to realize the installation of the mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting frame 42 on the column 2. Then, the connecting sleeve 46 installed on the shelf 3 is aligned and inserted with the connector 421 at the end of the metal connecting frame 42 to realize the connection and installation of the shelf 3 and the column 2. The installation process is simple and efficient, improving the assembly efficiency.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first fixing hole 23 communicating with the first mounting slot 22 is provided on one side of the column 2, and a clearance slot 412 is provided on one side of the mounting sleeve 41. A second fixing hole 413 is provided inside the clearance slot 412, and the second fixing hole 413 corresponds to the position of the first fixing hole 23. A third fixing hole 422 is provided on the metal connecting frame 42, and the third fixing hole 422 corresponds to the position of the first fixing hole 23. The mounting sleeve 41, the column 2 and the metal connecting frame 42 are connected and fixed by fixing bolts 43 passing through the second fixing hole 413, the first fixing hole 23 and the third fixing hole 422 in sequence. After the mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting frame 42 are installed with the column 2, the mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting frame 42 are connected and fixed with the column 2 by fixing bolts 43 to prevent the mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting frame 42 from shaking.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, a cover plate 44 is snapped into the clearance groove 412. The outer side of the cover plate 44 is flush with the side of the mounting sleeve 41. After the fixing bolt 43 is connected, the cover plate 44 is snapped into the clearance groove 412 to cover the fixing bolt 43, prevent the fixing bolt 43 from being exposed to the outside, and improve the aesthetics. Preferably, the cover plate 44 can be a strip with decorative function.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the metal connector 42 is designed to be wider in the middle and narrower at the connector 421. The wider part of the metal connector 42 is placed inside the column 2 as the part that connects to the column 2. The narrower connector 421 of the metal connector 42 is narrower than the first mounting slot 22 and the second mounting slot 411, which helps the metal connector 42 to pass through the first mounting slot 22 and the second mounting slot 411 for installation.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 46 near its open end. The shelf 3 has an installation hole, and the connecting sleeve 46 is embedded in the installation hole of the shelf 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, a groove 21 is provided along the length of the side of the column 2 away from the first fixing hole 23. An inner concave block 414 is provided on the mounting sleeve 41 and placed in the groove 21. A glass limiting groove is formed on the inner side of the inner concave block 414. The partition glass 6 is installed in the glass limiting groove. A slot 415 is provided in the glass limiting groove of the inner concave block 414. A protective pad 45 is embedded in the slot 415. The protective pad 45 has a "U" shaped structure and is sleeved on the outside of the partition glass 6. The protective pad 45 can be made of rubber or foam. The glass limiting groove formed on the mounting sleeve 41 can effectively install and fix the partition glass 6, so that the connecting component can be used to install both the shelf 2 and the partition glass 6, improving the convenience of installation and high practicality. The protective pad 45 protects the connection of the partition glass 6, improving the protection effect.
[0038] Working principle: In use, first, the mounting sleeve 41 is fitted onto the outside of the column 2, moving the mounting sleeve 41 to the first mounting slot 22. The second mounting slot 411 is then aligned with the first mounting slot 22. Next, the metal connecting bracket 42 passes through the second mounting slot 411 and the first mounting slot 22, thus installing the mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting bracket 42 onto the column 2. The mounting sleeve 41 and the metal connecting bracket 42 are then connected and fixed to the column 2 by passing the fixing bolts 43 sequentially through the second fixing hole 413, the first fixing hole 23, and the third fixing hole 422. Finally, the cover plate 44 is snapped into the clearance groove 412 to conceal the fixing bolts 43, completing the installation of one first connecting component 4 onto the column 2. Following these steps, all components are installed. The first connecting component 4 and the second connecting component 5 are installed with the column 2, and then the connecting sleeve 46 is embedded into the mounting hole of the shelf 3 for installation. The connecting sleeve 46 installed on the shelf 3 is aligned and inserted with the connector 421 at the end of the metal connecting frame 42. Each shelf 3 is connected and installed with four first connecting components 4 or two first connecting components 4 and two second connecting components 5 to realize the connection and installation of the shelf 3 and the column 2. The partition glass 6 is installed and fixed through the glass limiting groove formed on the mounting sleeve 41. The installation process is simple and efficient, improves the assembly efficiency, solves the load-bearing problem, and can achieve a larger span shelf. At the same time, it optimizes the complexity of installation, improves the connection structure between the shelf and the column, and ensures the accuracy of the installation process.
[0039] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
