[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] A RV storage rack includes rods 1 and connectors 2 for forming the rack. Rods 1 include horizontal bars 1-1 and vertical bars 1-2. Connectors 2 are used to mount the horizontal bars 1-1 onto the vertical bars 1-2, thereby forming storage shelves on the RV storage rack for placing items. In this embodiment, the connectors 2 are slidably mounted on the vertical bars 1-2, allowing adjustment of the relative height of the storage shelves by sliding the connectors 2, thus making the rack more suitable for each user's needs.
[0027] To facilitate the adjustment of the shelf, two connecting pieces 3, a locking handle 4, and a locking bolt 5 are installed on the connector 2. The two connecting pieces 3 are connected to the locking handle 4 and the locking bolt 5 respectively, and the locking handle 4 and the locking bolt 5 are respectively arranged on two sides of the connector 2. The connector 2 is fixed to the crossbar 1-1 by the locking bolt 5 and the connecting pieces 3. That is, when assembling the connector 2 and the crossbar 1-1, the connecting pieces 3 are pressed against the crossbar 1-1 by rotating the locking bolt 5, thereby locking the connector 2 and the crossbar 1-1. The connector 2 is adjustablely installed on the vertical bar 1-2 by the locking handle 4 and the connecting pieces. The locking handle 4 is connected to the connecting pieces 3 and is used to adjust the distance between the connecting pieces 3 and the connector 2. Adjusting the locking handle 4 reduces the distance between the connecting pieces 3 and the connector 2, thereby locking the connector 2 onto the vertical bar 1-2 to fix the crossbar and the vertical bar. Adjusting the locking handle 4 increases the distance between the connecting piece 3 and the connecting member 2, allowing the connecting piece 3 and the vertical rod 1-2 to slide together, so as to adjust the relative position of the connecting member 2 and the vertical rod 1-2, thereby adjusting the installation height of the horizontal rod on the vertical rod.
[0028] The eccentric shaft 6 has a through hole 6-1. The connecting stud 7 passes through the through hole 6-1 and the connecting piece 2 and connects to the connecting plate 3. The eccentric shaft 6 and the connecting plate 3 are connected by the connecting stud 7. When adjusting the locking handle 4, the locking handle 4 can rotate relative to the eccentric shaft 6, and one side of the locking handle 4 abuts against the connecting piece 2. Since the eccentric shaft 6 is eccentrically arranged on the locking handle 4, the thickness of the eccentric handle 4 located between the eccentric shaft 6 and the connecting piece 2 changes during the rotation of the locking handle 4, which changes the distance between the eccentric shaft 6 and the connecting piece 2. When the distance between the eccentric shaft 6 and the connecting piece 2 increases, the friction between the locking handle 4 and the connecting piece 2 increases, thereby locking the connecting piece 2 and the vertical rod 1-2. When the distance between the eccentric shaft 6 and the connecting piece 2 decreases, the friction between the locking handle 4 and the connecting piece 2 decreases, preventing the locking handle 4 and the connecting piece 2 from separating, thus allowing the connecting piece 2 and the vertical rod 1-2 to slide and adjust.
[0029] The connector 2 includes a first connecting plate 2-2 and a second connecting plate 2-3 arranged in an L-shape. Diagonal bracing plates 2-1 are connected to both sides of the first connecting plate 2-2 and the second connecting plate 2-3, respectively. The diagonal bracing plates 2-1 are used to increase the strength of the connector 2. A locking handle 4 is positioned between adjacent diagonal bracing plates 2-1. Through holes are provided in both the first connecting plate 2-2 and the second connecting plate 2-3. Connecting studs 7 and locking bolts 5 pass through these through holes, penetrating the connector 2 and extending into the rod 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rod 1 is a square aluminum profile. A connecting groove 1-3 is provided on the side wall of the aluminum profile. The connecting piece 3 is installed in the connecting groove 1-3. The connecting stud 7 and the locking bolt 5 are connected to the connecting piece 3 located in the connecting groove 1-3 through the opening of the connecting groove 1-3. To facilitate the installation of the connector 2, guide protrusions 2-4 are connected to the first connecting plate 2-2 and the second connecting plate 2-3. The guide protrusions 2-4 are inserted into the opening of the connecting groove 1-3 to guide the installation or adjustment of the connector 2.
[0031] A connecting sleeve 3-1 is provided on the connecting piece 3. The connecting sleeve 3-1 has an internal thread to facilitate the connection of the connecting stud 7, the locking bolt 5 and the connecting piece 3. The two end faces of the connecting sleeve 3-1 protrude from the two end faces of the connecting piece 3, so that when the connecting piece 3 is locked, the connecting sleeve 3-1 is inserted into the opening of the connecting groove 1-3, thereby preventing the connecting stud 7 and the locking bolt 5 from shaking in the opening of the connecting groove 1-3, thereby further improving the stability of this shelf.
[0032] A support foot 9 for contacting the roof of the RV is connected to the top of the vertical rod 1-2. The support foot 9 is equipped with a screw 9-1 to facilitate the height adjustment of the support foot 9. A foot pad 8 is provided at the bottom of the vertical rod 1-2.
[0033] A fixing plate 10 is installed in the middle of the vertical rod 1-2. A connecting bolt 10-1 is installed on the fixing plate 10, and a connecting piece 3 is also installed on the connecting bolt 10-1. The connecting piece 3 is inserted into the connecting groove 1-3 of the vertical rod 1-2, thereby fixing the fixing plate 10 to the vertical rod 1-2. Preferably, the fixing plate 10 is L-shaped so that one side of the fixing plate 10 can be connected to the shelf and the other side can be connected to the inner wall of the RV.
