[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a modular shelving unit, comprising four vertical support rods 1, with two rear vertical support rods 1 internally rotatably connected to lead screws 2, the upper end of the lead screws 2 being connected to the output end of a servo motor 3, the servo motor 3 being installed at the upper end of the two rear vertical support rods 1, the outer side of the lead screws 2 being threadedly connected to limit blocks 4, the front end of the limit blocks 4 being connected to an active support plate 5, a driven support plate 12 being provided below the active support plate 5, and sliders 13 being installed at the front ends of both the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12, the sliders 13 being located inside the two front vertical support rods 1;

[0025] Furthermore, both the limiting block 4 and the slider 13 are convex structures. The limiting block 4 and the slider 13 form a sliding structure with the vertical support rod 1 at the corresponding position, which allows the limiting block 4 and the slider 13 to slide smoothly in the vertical support rod 1 and prevent them from detaching from the vertical support rod 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 are distributed in parallel to each other, and the driven support plate 12 is distributed at equal intervals between the vertical support rods 1. The active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 can be used to support and assemble multiple shelf panels 7.

[0027] Both the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 are equipped with a locking block 6, and both the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 are equipped with a shelf plate 7. A locking groove 8 is provided at the lower end of the shelf plate 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the positions of the locking block 6 and the locking slot 8 are distributed correspondingly to each other. The locking block 6 engages with the shelf panel 7 through the locking slot 8, which allows for convenient and quick assembly of the shelf panel 7 and limits its movement.

[0029] A connecting rod 11 is hinged to the bottom of both the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12. An adjusting block 10 is hinged to the lower end of the connecting rod 11. An adjusting groove 9 is provided on the upper side of the driven support plate 12. The adjusting block 10 and the adjusting groove 9 are slidably connected.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjusting block 10 has a "convex" structure, and the highest point of the adjusting block 10 is flush with the highest point of the driven support plate 12, which can prevent the adjusting block 10 from disengaging from the driven support plate 12. By moving the adjusting block 10, the connecting rod 11 can rotate smoothly, and the distance between the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting rod 11 is movably connected between the adjusting block 10 and the active support plate 5, and between the adjusting block 10 and the driven support plate 12. The connecting rod 11 is symmetrically distributed about the longitudinal center line of the active support plate 5, and the connecting rod 11 can be used to stabilize the relative position between the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12.

[0032] Specifically, the shelf is first assembled by placing the vertical support rod 1 on the ground. Then, the slot 8 at the end of the shelf plate 7 is engaged with the locking block 6 connected to the end of the active support plate 5. The servo motor 3 is powered on and rotated forward, thereby controlling the lead screw 2 connected to the output end to rotate. The lead screw 2 drives the limit block 4 connected to the outer thread to move upward, thereby controlling the active support plate 5 to move upward. A certain distance is reserved to adjust the spacing between the driven support plates 12 so that the shelf plate 7 can be engaged with the driven support plate 12. After the assembly is completed, the servo motor 3 can be reversed, and the lead screw 2 can be reversed, thereby driving the limit block 4 to move downward, thereby controlling the active support plate 5 to move downward, moving both the active support plate 5 and the driven support plate 12 to the lowest point.

[0033] After placing the goods on the top shelf 7, the servo motor 3 is rotated forward, causing the lead screw 2 to move the limit block 4 upward, which in turn moves the active support plate 5 upward, thus raising the top shelf 7. While the active support plate 5 is moving upward, the connecting rod 11 at the lower end can be rotated. The connecting rod 11 causes the adjusting block 10 at the lower end to slide within the adjusting groove 9 until the connecting rod 11 rotates to a vertical position, creating a gap between the shelf panels 7. Goods are then placed onto the lower shelf 7. After this process, the servo motor 3 is rotated forward, causing the lead screw 2 to move the limit block 4 upward, which in turn moves the active support plate 5 upward, raising the top shelf 7. When rod 2 rotates, the active support plate 5 pulls the driven support plate 12 at the lower position upward through the connecting rod 11. According to the above steps, the distance between the adjacent shelf plates 7 at the lower position continues to increase, and the goods are stacked on the shelf plates 7 layer by layer. When goods need to be retrieved, the bottom layer of goods can be taken out first. Then, the servo motor 3 is controlled to reverse, thereby controlling the limit block 4 to move down. The staff assists from the lower position, so that the shelf plates 7 move down one by one. The staff can retrieve the goods layer by layer, saving physical strength. The contents not described in detail in this specification are the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
