[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage equipment technology, specifically relating to a shelf with adjustable height and tilt. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of warehousing and merchandise display, shelving is one of the essential pieces of equipment, and its design directly affects the efficiency of storage space utilization and the display effect of goods.

[0003] In order to accommodate the storage needs of items of different sizes, some existing shelving systems are equipped with adjustable shelf heights. These types of shelving systems are widely used in warehouses, supermarkets, retail stores, and other similar locations.

[0004] Although existing shelving technology allows for flexible adjustment of shelf height, the tilt angle of the shelves is usually fixed. In storage environments with sloping ground or mobile shelving, items on horizontal shelves are prone to slipping, leading to damage to the goods. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shelf with adjustable height and tilt angle to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that although the height of the existing shelves can be adjusted, the tilt angle of the shelves cannot be adjusted.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shelf with adjustable height and tilt, comprising a first upright, a second upright, and a shelf disposed on the first upright and the second upright, wherein the shelf is rotatable around the second upright, and a bottom plate is disposed on the side of the bottom of the shelf near the first upright, the bottom plate being configured to rotate with the shelf.

[0007] The first column sidewall is provided with a first limiting hole and an inverted J-shaped groove. The height of the end of the "J" of the inverted J-shaped groove is flush with the height of the first limiting hole.

[0008] A through hole is provided on the side wall of the base plate near the first column, and a slot parallel to the base plate is provided on the side wall of the base plate near the through hole. The base plate and the first column are connected and limited by a U-shaped clip.

[0009] When in a horizontal position, the leftmost end of the slot aligns with the end of the "J" in the inverted J-shaped slot;

[0010] When tilted, the bottom of the slot fits into the bottom of the inverted J-shaped slot.

[0011] Preferably, the U-shaped clip acts on the shelf, and the U-shaped clip is configured to constrain the shelf and the bottom plate on the first column. The U-shaped clip includes a first rotating shaft, which is inserted into the through hole and the first limiting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the U-shaped card further includes a second rotating shaft, which is inserted through the retaining ring into the inverted J-shaped groove.

[0013] Preferably, the U-shaped clip further includes a connecting rod configured to connect the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft together.

[0014] Preferably, a retaining ring is provided between the shelf and the bottom plate, and the retaining ring is configured to connect the shelf and the bottom plate together.

[0015] Preferably, a racetrack-shaped groove is provided on the side wall of the aforementioned shelf near the bottom plate, and the aforementioned retaining ring is disposed in the racetrack-shaped groove and the retaining groove.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this height- and tilt-adjustable shelving:

[0018] 1. When using this height- and tilt-adjustable shelf, if it is necessary to tilt the shelf, drag the second pivot of the U-shaped clip to slide it in the inverted J-shaped groove of the first upright until it reaches the bottom of the inverted J-shaped groove. The U-shaped clip will then rotate the shelf and the bottom plate, allowing the shelf to tilt. The bottom plate will protect the items on the shelf.

[0019] 2. When the shelf is in a horizontal state, the second rotating shaft is at the end of the inverted J-shaped groove "J". The weight of the shelf restricts the position of the second rotating shaft, preventing it from moving upward along the end of the "J", thereby restricting the rotation of the bottom plate and maintaining a horizontal state.

[0020] 3. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the shelf and the bottom plate, pull out the U-shaped clip to separate them from the first column, the shelf and the bottom plate. Then remove the shelf from the second column to separate the shelf and the bottom plate. After moving the separated shelf and the bottom plate to the appropriate height, set the shelf on the second column and use the U-shaped clip to constrain the shelf and the bottom plate to the first column.

[0037] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art have not been described.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0039] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0040] Please see as follows Figures 1-8 The shelf shown is adjustable in height and tilt, including a first upright 11, a second upright 12, and a shelf 21 mounted on the first upright 11 and the second upright 12. The shelf is supported by the first upright 11 and the second upright 12, and horizontal and diagonal braces are provided between the first upright 11 and the second upright 12 for reinforcement, thereby improving the stability of the frame formed by the first upright 11 and the second upright 12. The shelf 21 is used to place items.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 21 can rotate around the second column 12, so that the shelf 21 can be detachably mounted on the second column 12. The effect is that when the shelf 21 needs to be mounted at different heights, the shelf 21 can be removed from the second column 12.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, a base plate 22 is provided on the bottom side of the shelf 21 near the first column 11. The base plate 22 is configured to rotate with the shelf 21. A retaining ring 23 is provided between the shelf 21 and the base plate 22. The retaining ring 23 is configured to connect the shelf 21 and the base plate 22 together. A racetrack-shaped groove 211 is opened on the side wall of the shelf 21 near the base plate 22. A retaining groove 222 is opened on the side wall of the base plate 22. The retaining ring 23 is set in the racetrack-shaped groove 211 and the retaining groove 222. The base plate 22 and the shelf 21 are constrained together by the retaining ring 23. The effect is that when the shelf 21 is removed from the second column 12, the shelf 21 can be removed together with the base plate 22. The shelf 21 and the base plate 22 are matched together, which improves the installation speed of the shelf 21 and the base plate 22.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 As shown, U-shaped clips are provided at the bottom of the shelf 21 and the base plate 22. The U-shaped clips are configured to constrain the shelf 21 and the base plate 22 onto the first column 11. The U-shaped clips include a first rotating shaft 241. A first limiting hole 111 is provided on the side wall of the first column 11. A through hole 221 is provided on the side of the base plate 22 near the first column 11. The first rotating shaft 241 is inserted into the through hole 221 and the first limiting hole 111. The axis of the through hole 221 of the base plate 22 is aligned with the axis of the first limiting hole 111 of the first column 11. Then, the first rotating shaft 241 is inserted into the through hole 221 and the first limiting hole 111, thereby constraining one side of the base plate 22 onto the first column 11.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 As shown, the U-shaped clip also includes a second rotating shaft 242. The side wall of the first column 11 has an inverted J-shaped groove 112, and the second rotating shaft 242 passes through the retaining ring 23 and is inserted into the inverted J-shaped groove 112. The inverted J-shaped groove 112 restricts the movement trajectory of the second rotating shaft 242, thereby restricting the movement trajectory of the retaining ring 23. The rotation of the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22 is constrained by the retaining ring 23. Thus, the position of the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22 after rotation can be constrained, so that the shelf 21 is in an inclined state, and the bottom plate 22 is in close contact with the inclined side of the shelf 21. The effect is that, through the cooperation of the inverted J-shaped groove 112 and the second rotating shaft 242, the shelf 21 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to a certain angle, and at this time the bottom plate 22 is in close contact with the inclined side of the shelf 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the U-shaped clip also includes a connecting rod 243, which is configured to connect the first rotating shaft 241 and the second rotating shaft 242 together, allowing the first rotating shaft 241 and the second rotating shaft 242 to be disassembled simultaneously. The effect is that when it is necessary to adjust the height of the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22, the first rotating shaft 241 and the second rotating shaft 242 can be disassembled at the same time, making it easier to separate the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the height of the end of the inverted J-shaped groove 112 "J" is flush with the height of the first limiting hole 111. When the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22 are in a parallel state, the second rotating shaft 242 is at the end of the "J". The gravity of the shelf 21 can restrict the second rotating shaft 242 from moving upward, so that the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22 are kept in a horizontal state.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, initially, both the shelf 21 and the bottom plate 22 are horizontal, as... Figure 2 As shown, after rotation, shelf 21 is tilted, and the height of the side closer to the bottom plate 22 is lower than the height of the side farther from the bottom plate 22. After rotation, the bottom plate 22 is located at the side of the tilted shelf 21 and is in close contact with the side surface of the shelf 21. The effect is that the rotated shelf 21 is tilted, and the rotated bottom plate 22 provides protection.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
